Description
Nina and Bruce are exchanging fire with the Cold Warriors and Bruce yells at Zackery to go protect his mother. Zackery goes over to her and looks out the window at Grampa’s car, wondering if anyone cares about Grampa. Grampa, meanwhile, oblivious to the firefight, calmly gets out of his car and strolls through the gunfire, only losing his hat to a stray bullet. He walks inside and notices Roxanne is gagged and unwraps her. He tells her that it is time for him to die even though he wasn’t shot because this just isn’t his world anymore. Grampa says for her to take his strength and keep the family together. This act brings Roxanne back to sanity. Grampa passes away and suddenly the police arrive and order the Cold Warriors to throw down their weapons. Colossus bursts through the wall to tell the family that it is all finally over. Later, the family is telling their story to the media on the scene and Colossus tells a nearby reporter that he thinks the story will be covered up. The reporter dismisses that kind of talk as paranoia and says of course the story will see print there in America. The neighbors, meanwhile, continue their wild speculating and wonder if a cult sacrifice was going down the night before. Before she is taken by the police, Nina speaks with Colossus and tells him that she doesn’t think her chances will be good in the future. Colossus assures her that things will turn out well for her because she did the right thing. The family shares an embrace and all is well with them. Bruce shakes Colossus’ hand again and they can’t thank him enough. Roxanne asks where he will go and he replies that he is homesick, but for his family and Russia, rather than the X-Men. Also being taken away, Alexander suddenly yells at Colossus from the back of a police car. He says he will make his one phone call and kill that story. The car drives away and Bruce asks who that was. Colossus replies that it is a confused and crazy man; at least he hopes he is.
