(Needing a moment alone ECKS once again finds himself standing in front of the memorial to the man who gave his life fighting for the rights of mutants.)
ECKS: "Lot's happened since the last time I was out here, Chuck. Mansion's partially wrecked, but we're all workin' on that one. Your old pal betrayed us again and because of him we've lost another 'family' member. But at least she knows that she's welcome to come back when... if she's ready. She'll always have a home here. Cured or not. One a'the things I learned from you. Never turn away a friend in need."
ECKS: "Now we got a new problem, some William Stryker wannabe tryin' ta wake up what history calls the first mutant. Some supposedly all-powerful, change the face of the planet type. And if what they say is true about the guy, his name fits perfectly. Apocalypse. But we can handle it. We're a unit, a team, a family, and we can handle anything thrown at us. Kinda sounds like wishful thinkin' though, doesn't it. If this guy's even worth half the hype about him it's gonna take everything we got and then some to stop him. Maybe even an alliance with some of our not-so-nice friends."
ECKS: "Whatever it takes, though, ain't that right, Chuck. That's what you always said. Whatever it takes. All I know, is you better be watchin' us this time. We can use all the help we can get."
(He looks up to the dark sky, almost as if he expects Charles Xavier himself to appear. But of course, that's just wishful thinking, too.)
