The confirmation was all he needed. Looking back he called out the plan to Lorna. "Polaris, Wolverine. Plan 33 on my mark." It was a little something Scott had thought up years ago that utilizes Wolverine's incredible distraction capabilities to handle crowd control and Lorna's magnetic powers to create a series of reflective panels as a follow up to Scott's optic blast which would repeatedly be reflected both creating a cage and blasting any stragglers that got past Wolverine in the unlikely event that any of them did.
All of them in sync with the specific purpose of causing disarray among enemies to either protect another teammate while they focused or to cause a distraction for the same reason. It was a tactic they'd only practiced in simulations but Alex wasn't familiar with it which gave them an advantage. Jean needed both support and breathing room so this synchronized attack would provide her both of those things.
