The Shadow King destroyed John's prison as if it were dust, mortified the young earth mover was starting to panic that he would not be able to do anything, his fears were soon confirmed as the manifestation took a new host in plasma. Though this plan of action was short lived as Bamf had taken care of that much the same way he had done with Storm, just before Wolverine had sounded the retreat. Grabbing Storm John trudged back to the blackbird with the weather witch cradled in his arms.

As he walked past Wolverine it would be plain to the clawed teacher that the Earth mover was dejected about something, after lying Storm down and strapping her in John went and found a seat towards the back, hoping to keep some distance from the other students on the flight back.

With his elbows on his knees and head in hands John started to think about a multitude of things; a self hatred about how poor a part he played in the mission, how his powers were useless or only part working, and lastly a way to make himself stronger and to try and find out how far his powers would grow... it was so bad he didnt even care that the professor could read his mind as he sunk further in to his self hatred...
