Ororo hums thoughtfully, gaze turning distant. This was always difficult - there were so many things she could still help with here. People to assist, friends to support. Friends to find -- it isn't lost on her that there were specific people she had yet to meet. She's not even sure if it was somewhat intentional on her part, that perhaps she was not trying hard enough to track them down. That maybe she was a little afraid of what would happen, if she did find and speak to them.

But if there is a way to keep the portal open, I will follow and bring others who can help contain Chaos Gate."

At the very least, she knew that Carol's abilities would be a huge boon for whatever conflict they'd encounter with her.
