* Logan and Rogue together full stop. There's an episode where all the people she's ever absorbed overpower her and Logan is the one who convinces her to fight them. At the end, she comes out of her unconscious state to hold Logan's hand and smile up at him.
** In ''Turn Of The Rogue'', Wolverine asks where her allegiance lies. Terrified and shaking from the cold, Rogue asks if she'll be thrown out of the jet if she says no. Not only does Logan tell her no, but offers her his hand after she says she'll join. D'aw.

* Any time Kurt & Kitty interact is either this or a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funny moment]]. In the episode 'Rogue Recruit', previously Kurt had tried to impress Kitty and just freaked her out. When she wants to prove herself to the others after Logan tells Kurt to watch the 'half-pint', she ends up freaking Rogue out even more and getting Nightcrawler hurt. After pleading for him to wake up, ("Come on Kurt, wake up! Tease me! Scare me! Anything, just be OK!"), she manages to contact Xavier and get Kurt help. When he recovers she tackles him and crushes him with hugs while calling him a fuzzy elf. This caused lots of fan fiction on the internet.

* In Impact, the rest of the brotherhood had been screwing around with Mystique, now a statue, and were even going to convert her into a fountain. Wanda was already a tad disgusted by this, and when Kurt shows up, she prepares to attack him until she learns the real reason for his presence.

* The episode when Kitty rescues Danielle Moonstar from the underground cavern. Very few people believed Dani even existed, and no one believed she was still alive. Everyone figured that Kitty was going insane when she continues to talk about her dreams about Dani. And yet she continues to search for Dani and eventually saves her from a terrifying death via drowning.

* Whatever happened before or after, the scene where Pietro talks to Wanda in Hex Factor is heartwarming; he starts by complimenting her haircut--which, let's face it, not a lot of brothers would do--and tries to apologize for her time in the asylum. It rang true for this troper, who has siblings, and probably for many more.
* ''X-23'' has Logan learning of the utter hell, well, X23 was put through, and becoming utterly enraged over it. When she comes after him he finally manages to fend her off long enough to explain he's also a victim, [[TearJerker as she breaks down crying over everything that was done to her,]] before Shield arrives and despite her wanting to stay with Logan he tells her to run, before he stands up to ComicBook/NickFury and tells him to let her go.
* She returns the favor in her other episode when Hydra hires two bounty hunters to go after Logan, knowing she will find him. With them on their tail, X23 repeatedly tries to get rid of Logan, not because he's slowing her down as she claims, but because she intends to be captured so she can blow up Hydra, and knows if Logan follows her he'll end up dead.

* As part of the above, unlike in many other continuities, Scott and Alex proceed to stay in contact and reform their brotherly relationship even if it is over long distance as Alex is not able to go to the Xavier Institute. [[BackForTheFinale Alex shows up to help fight Apocalypse]], and is shown in the group shot of the Xavier Institute that ends the series.
* Scott is very dedicated in his mission to make friends. He makes a concentrated effort to befriend Rogue, even when she's being rude and clearly wants nothing to do with him (which is later rewarded with her switching sides). Although he lets his competitiveness get the better of him in "Survival of the fittest", at the end of the episode he tells Jean that it "felt right" working with the Brotherhood and that maybe one day they'll come join the X-men.

The only reason behind this was because she was reminded of losing her son when he was an infant and wanting him to know his origins. She was even upset when he recoiled in horror and angry that Magneto had sent his team to interfere.

* ''The Cauldron'' for Scott and his brother, Alex. After ten years, the two discover that the other was alive and they immediately rush to each other, even Alex giving Scott a brotherly punch (payback for all the hard times Scott game him back then). However, Alex was reached by Magneto first, and Scott (unaware of the details on Magneto) is hesitant, but follows Alex through and sticks with his brother. Throughout the episode, you get the vibe they are a family and they've finally found each other. And at the end of the episode, the two are in free fall again as Asteroid M explodes around them. They reach out for each other and proceed to use their powers to slow their landing manually. [[Awesome/XMenEvolution Then they proceed to completely destroy Asteroid M before it falls on everyone.]]

** In ''Turn Of The Rogue'', Wolverine asks where her allegiance lies. Terrified and shaking from the cold, Rogue asks if she'll be thrown out of the jet if she says no. Not only does Logan tell her no, but offers her his hand after she says she'll join. D'aw.
* Lance saving Kitty from the falling stands.
* Any time Kurt & Kitty interact is either this or a CrowningMomentOfFunny. In the episode 'Rogue Recruit', previously Kurt had tried to impress Kitty and just freaked her out. When she wants to prove herself to the others after Logan tells Kurt to watch the 'half-pint', she ends up freaking Rogue out even more and getting Nightcrawler hurt. After pleading for him to wake up, ("Come on Kurt, wake up! Tease me! Scare me! Anything, just be OK!"), she manages to contact Xavier and get Kurt help. When he recovers she tackles him and crushes him with hugs while calling him a fuzzy elf. This caused lots of fan fiction on the internet.
* Kurt being at Rogue's bedside, even just to be there to comfort her after the events of her power surge. [[spoiler:He then happily tells her, (because Kurt found out a few seasons ago that he's [[LukeIAmYourFather Mystique's son]] and now Rogue found out recently, she's Mystique's daughter-through adoption) that he's so excited, because Rogue is basically his big sister now, and that he always ''wanted'' to have a brother or sister.]] AWWWWWW!!!!
** Rogue's dopey smile after Kurt teleports out of the room, showing she's touched by his concern and enthusiasm at [[spoiler: being her brother]].
* The episode when Kitty rescues Danielle Moonstar from the underground cavern. Very few people believed Dani even existed, and no one believed she was still alive. Everyone figured that Kitty was going insane when she continues to talk about her dreams about Dani. And yet she continues to search for Dani and eventually saves her from a terrifying death via drowning.
* From the episode in which Captain America guest stars, the bit where Wolverine tells [[spoiler:a cryogenically frozen]] Captain America how they made a good team and how [[spoiler:Wolverine will find a cure for his condition]].
** Also in that episode: "My name is [[spoiler: Erik Lensherr.]] Thank you for saving us."
* Whatever happened before or after, the scene where Pietro talks to Wanda in Hex Factor is heartwarming; he starts by complimenting her haircut--which, let's face it, not a lot of brothers would do--and tries to apologize for her time in the asylum. It rang true for this troper, who has siblings, and probably for many more.
* X-23 has Logan learning of the utter hell, well, X23 was put through, and becoming utterly enraged over it. When she comes after him he finally manages to fend her off long enough to explain he's also a victim, [[TearJerker as she breaks down crying over everything that was done to her,]] before Shield arrives and despite her wanting to stay with Logan he tells her to run, before he stands up to NickFury and tells him to let her go.
* She returns the favor in her other episode when Hydra hires two bounty hunters to go after Logan, knowing she will find him. With them on their tail, X23 repeatedly tries to get rid of Logan, not because he's slowing her down as she claims, but because she intends to be captured so she can blow up Hydra, and knows if Logan follows her he'll end up dead.
* Toad, yes ''Toad'' gets one in the episode The Toad, the Witch and the Wardrobe: After rescuing Wanda from Mastermind and her own ''father'' she gives him a kiss (though he was in the form of a ski tourist thanks to Kurt's holographic inducer at the time, but still). After being told that he put his life on the line for her, she gives him a soft, grateful look followed by a ''very'' genuine "Thank you". Then later, at the Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House, she actually talks to him in a ''casual'' manner about not being mad at her father anymore.
* Spyke's documentary about the X-men, especially when he calls them his new family.
* After Mystique is turned to stone and taken by the Brotherhood, Nightcrawler goes to retrieve her stone body while the room she is in is empty. Then Scarlet Witch comes in and prepares for a fight. However, when Nightcrawler tells her the statue is his mother, she just walks out the room with out saying a word, allowing Kurt to take his mother.
* After being an almost irredeemable JackAss for much of the series, Pietro leads the Brotherhood into battle in order to help his sister and the X-Men save his father from Apocalypse.
