"The Phoenix is coming. I shouldn't have to tell any of you what that means," he said. "Henry has agreed to join a tea of Avengers, heading into space to try and stop it. Captain America has put together another team to head to Utopia, to take Hope into protective custody. I'll be on that team. My responsibility is to protect this school, no matter what. And that's what I'm going to do. I'm asking all of you to stay here and look after the kids. I don't want to cause a panic, but I don't wanna lie to them either.

"As always, we've got the best minds on the planet working on this problem. But given what we're facing, this won't be an easy fight. And I think you know... I'm not just referring to the big firebird."

And then, he turned to walk back out, leaving everybody in the room in silence before they could ask him any dumb questions.
