[It's a weird sort of deja vu to go to sleep in one's own bed only to wake up on the ground in the middle of some forest. His first instinct was to assume it was a hugely unfunny joke, and he picked himself up and groped around the closest trees, eyes clenched tightly.]
Very funny, guys! Now give me back my glasses before I end up hurting someone.
[He gropes at two of the nearest trees, trying to gather his sense of direction. He'd memorized every tree around the perimeter of the school for just this occasion. This one is as thick as one of the old oaks, but didn't have any of the telltale carvings he'd notched into the closest trees years ago. That means he's either out farther than he thought or that this isn't a prank at all.]
Whoever's out there, this isn't going to solve anything. [It can't be Mystique again. Mystique is dead.] We can talk about this. You don't have to put everyone into such a dangerous situation.
[There isn't any answer. That means worse things. Had there been an attack? Was he separated from everyone again? There's only one way to find out.]
Look, I don't know if anyone can hear me. But if you can and you're close by, please get back right now!
[He dares to open his eyes, for just a flash of information. A beam shoots out, splintering the tree in front of him and sending chunks of wood blasting out in all directions. Luckily, there hadn't been anyone standing there, though he was almost positive he'd seen a rabbit. And if he'd seen a rabbit, that rabbit wasn't alive anymore. It was a mistake to check at all.]
It's fine, Summers. [He coaches himself now that he assumes he's alone.] You've done this before. Just reach out to Jean and she'll come find you and everything'll work out again. Assuming she's all right. Jean, please be all right.

[ action ]
About being stuck here? Nope. [She gives him a small grin before hurriedly looking away.] What, you came back an' decided to play councilor?
[ action ]
Well. Well, no. I.. Just thought you'd come to me with. Stuff.
[Rogue so rarely shoots him down for anything, he's not sure what to do with himself.]
[ action ]
However, even in this world, Scott is a friend and she softens a little when she hears his intentions.]
Scott, you just walked in the door. I think maybe it's time for you ta come to me with stuff. I know it ain't easy, showin' up here like this. But if you wanna get a milkshake or somethin' and catch up, we can do that.
