After that, they made a quick stop by the White House to help convince the President to see things reasonably (which, okay, was pretty cool). And then it was back to the mansion to try and sort things out. With Jean gone and Scott in no shape to help keep things going, Bobby, Rogue, Kitty, and Peter were made junior X-men, training with Storm (and occasionally Scott, when he was having a good day, or Logan, when he was there). Bobby found himself being de facto leader for the junior X-men, usually speaking on their behalf.
Sometime after that, Worthington Labs announced that they had developed a way to suppress the mutant gene permanently, called the Cure. Around the same time, Jean returned from the dead and was brought back to the Institute. Unfortunately, this was not the Jean they all knew and loved, but an entity called the Phoenix, dangerous and incredibly powerful, and before they’d found her, she’d already killed Scott. Before Bobby could make sense of this, Jean fled the mansion, and when Professor Xavier went to go find her, she killed him as well and joined up with Magneto. The Professor's death hit everyone hard, and the entire school was in mourning.
Bobby dealt with his own grief partly by trying to ease the pain of the other students, especially Kitty, who'd become pretty much his best friend since Johnny left. He took her ice skating, and they actually managed to have a little bit of fun before a meeting about whether or not the school would stay open. Bobby argued strongly in favor of keeping it open, and Storm agreed with him. The school would still be a safe haven for mutants. When Bobby went to go find Rogue to tell her the good news and ask why she hadn't been at the meeting, he discovered that she'd left. He worried that she'd gone to take the Cure, and went after her. He didn’t find her at the Cure clinic he went to, but he did run into John, and then there was lots of fire.
Logan went to go find Jean and bring her back, and though he was unsuccessful, he did learn what Magneto’s plans were. Because the government had started using the Cure in weapons, the Brotherhood was planning on attacking Alcatraz, the place where Worthington Labs was located, along with the source of the cure, a boy named Jimmy. Magneto had an army, and even with the three remaining junior X-men promoted to full X-men status, there were only six of them. But they went anyway, because they were X-men and that was what they did.
Bobby ended up fighting Pyro, and managed to win. Working together, the X-men managed to take out Magneto by sticking him with the very Cure that he’d been trying to destroy (a decision which wasn’t made lightly). For a moment, it looked like all was over, but then some of the human soldiers there fired the Cure at the only Brotherhood member still standing: Jean. In outrage, the Phoenix began unmaking everything on the island, including people as they tried to flee. Logan managed to kill her before she could completely destroy everything, a bittersweet victory. Those still alive made it safely off the island (including John, who Bobby carted off the island, though this is taken from the novelization of the film, as the movie itself never showed what happened to Pyro after Bobby defeated him). Eventually, the school was re-opened and all of the students started returning.
