I loved this moment between Jean and Scott. It's serious, playful, and speaks volumes about their relationship, chemistry, and familiarity with one another. I've actually been catching myself really liking them as a couple in this series.
A mutual on Twitter pointed out the following panel, which I hadn’t even honed in on, and wrote this about what Jean does in issue #3:
Jean is holding off the High Evolutionary’s entire army while keeping an extinction bomb contained and maintaining her team’s link. It’s crazy ****, but it’s subtle and it gives us a chance to see things like Synch be as badass as he is. #XSpoilers

And to be clear, this issue, she contained the nihility sphere, successfully held back and shielded herself from the Evolutionary Guard without breaking a sweat, psi-linked the entire team, collected intel from the High Evolutionary, who later chose to speak with her privately, and was the one to make the decision to split the team.

It's even more noticeable with the full image. We can see something akin to pointed wings above
