Epilogue:
Jean Grey, Rogue, and Ororo Munroe stared in morbid fascination at the 5 inch, plastic action figures in their hands. The manufacturer had sent a set to Erin Maguire gratis, and she in turn had brought them to Xavier's, expecting the school's residents to get a good laugh out of them. However, the ladies of Xavier's school didn't seem all that amused.
"I do not show that much cleavage," Jean scoffed.
Rogue, meanwhile, was studying her plastic figure intently. Tie-in media sources had cast Rogue as a sort of junior member of the X-Men, but the action figure she was currently holding had some obviously adult proportions.
"Are my breasts really that big?" she asked no one in particular.
There was a slight, hopeful note to her voice. Like most teenage girls, Rogue wanted to be seen as conventionally attractive, but also harbored some rather common insecurities about her body and her appearance.
Ororo, for her part, seemed to be too stunned at being confronted with an approximation of herself showing some obvious 'creative liberties' taken to say anything at all.
"They're based on the comic book designs," Ms. Maguire explained. "They're supposed to be exaggerated."
Rogue frowned, her gaze still focused on the figure in her hand. Ms. Maguire seemed to be implying that the proportions weren't accurate. But on the other hand, none of the women in the room had actually answered Rogue's question. What she needed, she decided, was a man's opinion.
As luck or misfortune would have it, Kurt Wagner happened to pass by the open doorway while heading down the hall.
"Kurt," Rogue called after him.
The two of them were more or less on a first name basis ever since Kurt had saved her life. Kurt paused, turning towards Rogue inquiringly.
"I wanted to ask you something," Rogue said.
Always willing to help others, Kurt responded to Rogue's request pleasantly.
"Of course, what is it that you wanted to ask me?" Kurt asked, having no idea what he was in for.
Rogue held up the action figure for his inspection and asked, "Are my breasts really that big?"
Kurt stared with wide eyes at the plastic figure before shifting his wide-eyed gaze to Rogue's face, seeing from her expression that she was being serious. After glancing briefly at the three adult women gathered in the room, Kurt instantly vanished, teleporting away.
