The film follows the X-Men after their confrontation with the Sentinels, opening the gates, and the consequences of that battle. With Wendy's departure and the pressure from the media and the public on mutants, plus the increased workload with the school opening to house more mutants, Xavier decides to give the X-Men a day off after a disastrous training session in the Danger Room. Meanwhile, Scott and Jean try to go on a date that goes wrong because they have to help a young mutant, which ends up bringing them even closer. Hank and Bobby hang out like old times, but things aren't the same anymore, without Wendy and with Hank's blue fur. Even so, Hank remains optimistic about his future, the X-Men, and mutants. Ororo returns to the village where she grew up, helping the people of her home, while questioning where she really belongs and where she can make the most difference, since here she is treated like a goddess and outside she is seen as an aberration because of her genes. We also see Wendy, and how she survives after the attempted assassination of her own father and having left the X-Men.
