Let's Get Well
A jet streaks towards New York City. Inside it are two long-time Avengers, Janet van Dyne a.k.a. the Wasp and Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch. The Wasp thinks to herself that after so many weeks away, the sight of Manhattan should bring joy - not just to be home, but to the coming reunion as well. But instead, she feels anxious. She knows she should be happy, but the fact that she is not only makes everything else feel that much worse. Wanda tells Janet that they could turn around, go back to her father’s cabin and hide out forever. ‘A beautiful fantasy, Wanda. It’s been a much-needed sabbatical, but it’s time to come home’ Janet replies. Wanda looks at her friend and asks ‘Tony’s sure they’re all ready to come out of stasis?’ ‘Yes. And while I’ve had this time with you to heal… Alex won’t have had any time to process the loss of…’ Jan begins, but stops herself mid-sentence. She turns away from Wanda and looks out the window. ‘I can’t even say her name’ Jan utters.
Wanda tells Janet that there are no words yet. ‘Just know… you won’t go through this alone’ she adds, before Janet lands the jet on top of Avengers Mansion. As they exit the jet, they are greeted by an elderly Steve Rogers and Wolverine a.k.a. Logan. ‘Welcome home’ Steve, propped up with a cane, greets his friends. ‘Steven… you look… great’ Wanda exclaims as they embrace. ‘You’re a wonderful liar, Wanda’ Cap tells his dear friend. Wanda asks if there has been any news in regard to his condition. ‘Am I going to stay old? Afraid so. But don’t worry… I’ve still got some fight left’ Cap replies. Wolverine and the Wasp shake hands. ‘Janet’ Wolverine remarks. ‘Logan’ Janet replies. The Wasp’s eyes go downcast, as Logan tells her that he knows it’s hard. ‘But you’re a tough bird… you can do this’.
In a laboratory, Thor stands watch over his fellow Avengers Unity Squad members who are held in stasis tanks, as the Beast, Iron Man and Vision go about their scientific business. Iron Man announces that it is game day, and reports that he is still getting ionic readings from Rogue. The Vision states that with the control Rogue now has over her mutant abilities, she will let loose Wonder Man with no trouble. He adds that Banshee’s death seed is another story, as the cosmic energies are ingrained on a molecular level - no system he has access to can separate them. The Beast suggests that nanotech might be capable of expunging the death energy, but that the cleansing process could take years. ‘What of Alex? ‘Thor enquires as he goes over to the stasis tube where Alex “Havok” Summers is being held. The Beast walks over to the tube and looks up at Havok’s bandaged face and tells Thor that Havok’s body processes cosmic radiation like a generator, unlike anything else he has ever encountered, but his immune system absolutely rejects skin grafts, making plastic surgery all but impossible. ‘I’m afraid he will remain horribly disfigured’ the Beast announces.
At that moment, Wolverine, Cap, Wanda and the Wasp enter. ‘Well, it’s a good thing for Alex… he’s got a wife who loves him, no matter how horrible it looks’ the Wasp states. The Beast asks Janet to forgive him, as he didn’t see her there. ‘I should have selected my words more carefully -’ he begins, but Jan tells the Beast that softer phrasing isn’t going to make Alex better. ‘We both know how you’ve tried’ she assures him, before stating that she is ready to see him. ‘Fingers crossed’ Wanda smiles.
The Wasp watches as the doors creak open, and she realizes why she was dreading this moment - wondering what if some part of her blames Alex for what happened - what if she can’t forgive him for doing what anyone would have done? The impossible choice that he was faced with. But Janet decides that grief doesn’t understand logic, and with her despair being so great, what if, after all they have been through, she can’t face him? She wonders if her feelings have changed. Alex steps out of the tube and walks towards the Wasp, who takes a long look into the face of the man she loves, waiting to see if she still loves him. The answer doesn’t take but a second, as they embrace and Janet smiles.
Wolverine and the Beast stand near Shiro “Sunfire” Yoshida as he steps out of his stasis tube, his body - all of him - transformed. ‘Shiro. How ya feeling, savior of the universe?’ Wolverine asks. ‘I feel… nothing’ Shiro replies. He looks at his hands and adds ‘As if I have no body. Merely a vague sense of the space I inhabit’. Shiro turns to Logan, ‘And you?’ he asks. ‘Years burning at my hand, as Eimin’s trophy… I admit, I’m surprised to see you sane enough to speak’. Wolverine replies that life doesn’t tend to go easy on him. ‘But I always survive’ Wolverine smiles. Logan adds that the world won’t wait on his pain, even if old lady fate loves dishing out a healthy serving.
Rogue emerges from the stasis tube next, and Wanda stands nearby, telling her to take her time. ‘How long…? How long have I been out?’ Rogue enquires. Wanda informs her that it has been several weeks. Rogue touches her own face, as Wanda removes one of her scarlet gloves, and tells Rogue that she needs her to give her her hand. ‘I’m going to use chaos energies to reverse your gifts… we’re going to get Simon out of you’ But as Wanda and Rogue touch hands, there is a snap of energy, and Wanda screams, falling backwards, Steve catches her. A confused Rogue looks at her hand. ‘That shouldn’t happen! I’ve learned to control it - I’ve learned to control it! What do you mean you can’t? We’ll figure it out! I won’t live like this again! Shut up!’ Rogue shouts, as everyone quickly gathers around her. ‘Easy now. Just take it -’ Logan begins.
The Wasp tells Rogue that she has to calm down. ‘Let them help you -’ she begins. But Rogue picks up a large piece of equipment. ‘Just shut up!’ she roars. ‘Get him out of my head!’ Rogue screams, as she tosses the large piece of lab equipment through the wall, sending it careening over the fence surrounding Avengers Mansion. Rogue drops to her knees and throws her hands to her head. ‘I can’t - I won’t -’ Rogue screams. Wanda tells her teammate to calm down, to take a breath and get a hold of herself. ‘We’ll find a way -’ Wanda begins, before a distraught Rogue flies out the gaping hole in the mansion wall, ‘I won’t do this again!’ she screams, flying across a busy street, she hears Simon’s voice in her head: ‘Rogue, it’s Simon, listen to me’ Wonder Man calls out. ‘No, Simon - you have no idea what this is like - every intimate thought! I can’t do it again - not for a single hour!’ Rogue exclaims.
Civilians on the sidewalk going about their business look up as Rogue speeds through the air above them, causing newspapers to be scattered. ‘We have to calm down - you’re scaring these people, Anna-Marie’ Simon tells Rogue. ‘GET OUT OF MY HEAD!’ Rogue screams. ‘You don’t think I want to? This isn’t exactly ideal for me, either’ Simon replies. ‘Shut up!’ Rogue tells him. Simon once again starts to tell Rogue that they need to calm down, when suddenly, Rogue crashes into the ground, causing a cab to swerve into a power pole, and sending civilians running for their lives. Someone goes over to Rogue and asks her if she is okay. ‘I can’t…can’t do this again’ Rogue declares. Wonder Man’s consciousness points out that they are not exactly being given a choice. ‘No! You can’t be there, Simon - Xavier fixed me!’ Rogue shouts, getting to her feet, she grabs the front of a car and rips it open. ‘It’s out of my hands! Violence isn’t going to -’ Simon begins. ‘Get out!’ Rogue screams again.
Rogue throws her hands to her head, ‘Please, God - don’t make me live through this again!’ she shouts. ‘I know you’re scared… but this isn’t doing anybody any good’ Wanda points out as she levitates above Rogue. ‘I trusted you!’ Rogue screams at the Scarlet Witch. ‘You said you could get the power out of me - said you could make it right!’ Rogue declares. ‘And I did!’ Wanda replies, pointing out that whatever happened short-circuited Rogue’s powers. ‘I couldn’t have predicted it’ Wanda assures Rogue. She adds that she doesn’t know how Simon got stuck, but that they will get him out. ‘Do you have any idea what I went through? Do you have any idea what my life has been like?’ Rogue shouts. Tears stream down her face, as she continues: ‘How many years I went without being able to touch another person, to feel a kiss - to hold a hand?’ Rogue moves closer to the Scarlet witch and starts shaking her fists, ‘Do you have any idea what you’ve done to me?’ she screams.
Wanda stand her ground, and hands on hips asks ‘Do you think I could have foreseen this? That I would intentionally torture you? You’re not the only one who’s paid a price’ Wanda points out, reminding Rogue that the man she loves is trapped inside her head. ‘But this can be fixed’ Wanda declares, promising not to leave Rogue’s side until they set this right. ‘To be with you to help you in any way I can’. Rogue starts to cry, and Wanda puts her gloved hand to her face - but Rogue retracts backwards, ‘Okay. But you’ll have to start by remembering not to touch me… the same as everyone else’ Rogue points out.
Back at Avengers Mansion, the hole in the wall has been boarded up, while in the living quarters of the Wasp, she and Havok sit on the edge of the bed. Havok’s face is covered in bandages. ‘It was all just a dream…all those years on Planet X raising Katie with you. All of it, just gone in the blink of an eye’ Jan remarks. ‘Not gone - taken by Kang’ Alex replies, adding that it wasn’t a dream - it was real. Alex tells Jan that he doesn’t want to forget what happened - he doesn’t want to forget their life together. ‘But we have to find a way to move forward’ he points out. They hold hands as Jan tells Alex that she can’t. She informs him that she spent the past several weeks in a sanctuary with Wanda, trying to come to terms with this. ‘I can’t forget Katie. I can’t forget any of it. And I can’t go on without her’ Jan tells Alex, leaning into him. ‘Fortunately, you do not have to’ a voice announces. ‘There are ways to undo the damage caused by Kang’ the voice adds. ‘Immortus?!’ Havok exclaims as he and the Wasp look up to see Immortus hovering above them.
Alex and Jan get to their feet, but Immortus tells them to be calm, as he comes as a friend, his reasons his own. Immortus tells them that for the past several weeks, he has scoured the future, but that it is formless and chaotic. Immortus reveals that the seven most likely futures were unwritten, leaving only one future in its place - one being written moment by moment - a new prime timeline with untold potential. Immortus adds that Kang may be a distant version of himself, but that he holds no memory of this incarnation’s actions. ‘He is completely unknown to me, and I cannot say where he now hides with his Chronos Corps’ Immortus announces, before reporting that his Infinity Watch will guard over the timeline, and as the futures coalesce, they will ensure nothing like this ever happens again. The Wasp tells Immortus that she is glad everything they went through wasn’t in vain, before asking him why she feels like this is one of his plots? Immortus tells Janet that he understands her lack of trust, but that none of their goals are achieved in a shattered timeline with a dark, unwritten future.
‘But this is unimportant. It is beyond you to police time’ Immortus points out. Immortus announces that what is important is the news he comes bearing. ‘You can have your daughter back. The same child, the same spirit that you loved so dearly’. Immortus declares, informing Havok and the Wasp that he will leave them the date and time at which they must conceive in order to hold her again - but that in order for this to be accomplished, they must overcome their grief, comfort one another and nurture their love. ‘For love is the only thing that will see you through and see Kate returned to you’. Immortus informs Alex and Jan that the future remains unwritten, but he has seen glimpses of Katie with them, he has seen them happy and together.
Immortus shows them a vision of such an occasion, and adds that the future shifts as events unfold and choices are made. And illusion - skeletons littered across the ground. Immortus reports that he has also seen great darkness, he has seen a plague spread over the world - a red shadow cast by the vilest of creatures. Another illusion, of the Red Skull and his S-Men, with what appear to be red-faced Sentinel-like robots flying across the sky. Immortus tells Havok and the Wasp that they must find the Red Skull and put an end to him - at any cost - or all is lost. ‘For while that creature moves forward his plot… there is no love great enough to save tomorrow’.
Elsewhere, The Red Skull sits in a chair and looks at several monitors depicting various mutants and other heroes. A dog sits at his feet, while Ahab stands alongside him. ‘You’ve spoken to Zola? He is set to begin the cleansing?’ the Red Skull asks. ‘Tomorrow afternoon’ Ahab announces, adding that Zola’s mutate army is gathered, and the Avengers will step into his trap. ‘While the X-Men fall into mine. Everything is in place’ the Red Skull grins, before turning to six members of his S-Men who are waiting nearby - Dancing Water, Dangerous Jinn, Mzee, Fei Lian and Tsar Sultan. He tells them that it is time to collect the prime targets. ‘Do not deviate from the order I have instructed. Do not fail me, my S-Men’ the Red Skull warns them. Courtesy of Dancing Water, energy swirls around them, and Dancing Water tells the Red Skull that on their lives they serve him, before they vanish.
The Red Skull reminds Ahab that he was left behind by Kang to aid him. ‘Knowing that I could see your thoughts and memories as I do. I wonder if I’m being manipulated’ the Red Skull remarks. ‘I’m his revenge. A punishment for the Avengers and X-Men’ Ahab replies. ‘And he imagines I will do the heavy lifting for him’ the Red Skull remarks. ‘Secure a simple tomorrow for him to rule’. The two men walk down a corridor, ‘But that’s not what you want?’ the Red Skull asks. ‘As you well know’ Ahab replies. The Red Skull tells Ahab that the future he comes from, what they did there, was quite wonderful. He admits to Ahab that he had some fantastic ideas on how to deal with the superhuman population of their suffering world. He opens a door, and they step out onto an observation platform, looking down on a series of bunkers enclosed within a high prison fence, and the Red Skull exclaims that he can’t believe he didn’t think of it first!

Far From Refuge
Alex “Havok” Summers is at the counter of a small grocery store. He didn’t have time to change out of his costume before coming to the store. The shop assistant packs Havok’s bag and looks at him nervously. ‘That’ll be… um… that’ll be $17.49’ he tells Havok, who hands over some money and tells the assistant to keep the change.
Havok thinks to himself that the life of a super hero can lead to some unexpectedly embarrassing situations - but he knows it is not his uniform that has the assistant stammering. ‘He’s not tongue-tied due to the presence of Havok, semi famous Avenger’ Alex thinks to himself. As he goes to leave the store, he holds the door open for a young woman and her son. ‘Th-thank you…’ the woman utters, as she and the boy look at Havok in shock. ‘Same as mom here isn’t awestruck by my not-so-iconic concentric circles’ Alex tells himself.
‘It’s what’s left of my face. The price I paid to stop Kang - to save them all’ Alex thinks to himself as he walks down the sidewalk, one side of his face and neck horribly disfigured. ‘But no one knows that. Heroism isn’t the sort of thing one broadcasts to the public’ Alex thinks. ‘That’s like telling people how much you donated to charity - some things are best left private’. He knows that the reaction he receives from people is going to take some getting used to - or maybe not - perhaps that’s the kind of thing you never get used to?
Walking past a dark alleyway, Alex decides that Janet loves him either way, and that is all he needs to face the world. He fights the urge to retreat, to hide from the terrified glares, as Janet deserves some semblance of a normal life - she has earned at least that much. ‘Half a decade spent hiding in Beast’s laboratory, on a world that never existed. My daughter Katie loved that lab. It was like one big amusement park for her -’ Alex recalls.
Suddenly, his thoughts are interrupted, ‘Hey there, handsome’ a voice calls out. ‘Who’s there?’ Alex calls back, looking down an alleyway, where to long puddles of water have formed. ‘That some kind of joke?’ Alex asks. ‘Well, you’ve only got half a face - but you’re definitely the right guy’ the voice declares, as bands of water suddenly wash towards Alex, covering his face, ‘Don’t worry…your looks are about to become the least of your problems’ the voice warns Alex, as he drops his groceries, causing the bottle of wine to shatter.
Meanwhile, at Avengers Mansion, Wolverine a.k.a. Logan, Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch and Rogue are sitting around a table in the kitchen. Logan tells the women that they can’t know how good it is to see the two of them getting along. ‘I’ve seen what happens when you tussle… and it ain’t any kind pf pretty’ he adds. Rogue tells Logan that she still has a hard time believing she went through with it the way he says she did. ‘I don’t’ Wanda remarks. ‘Excuse me?’ Rogue asks, raising her voice. ‘You weren’t yourself after Charles passed, Rogue. When we found his mutilated corpse in the Red Skull’s morgue… I saw something change. A child who had lost her parent’ Wanda explains. Wanda adds that after M-Day and Dr Doom’s manipulations, after every tragedy she has been a part of, Rogue’s mistrust was understandable. ‘But not any more it ain’t. Time to leave the past where it lies’ Wolverine announces, adding that they have all learned some hard lessons. ‘Unity’s the name of the game, gals. And if we can’t get it together… there ain’t gonna be nothing left here to protect’ Wolverine declares.
Logan continues, telling Wanda and Rogue that this thing is, this whole mess falls on his shoulders, as he fed Rogue’s flames, he broke this team apart on account of his guilt. Logan opens the refrigerator and reminds Wanda and Rogue that his choices led to the birth of the Apocalypse Twins - he killed Daken and gave them a Horseman fueled by revenge. He adds that when they most needed to stick together, the truth of what he had done broke them apart. ‘I ain’t fit to carry on Xavier’s dream’ Wolverine admits. ‘Damn hypocrite is all I am’ he declares, using one of his claws to pop open the lid off a bottle of beer. ‘That’s why we need you two gals to get it together. To set an example’ Logan tells them. Rogue suggests to Wolverine that he is being too hard on himself. ‘After everything we’ve been through…’ her voice trails off. Wolverine tells Rogue that he appreciates it, but that it is not right. ‘All these years I’ve been using my claws to solve my problems, letting the psychopath have his taste and rationalizing it’.
Wolverine sits back down and tells Wanda and Rogue that he can see the damage he has done - killing doesn’t make not kind of good difference. Rogue asks Wolverine what he is saying: ‘You’re done killing?’ she enquires. Logan drinks the beer in his hand, before slamming the bottle on the table and smiling: ‘Right after the Red Skull, darling’. Logan turns to get up and tells the women that Alex wants the Unity Squad assembled first thing tomorrow morning to begin the hunt for that red son of a bitch. ‘Reckon you gals might want to get some rest, go easy on those beers’ Logan suggests.
Logan makes his way out onto the rooftop of Avengers Mansion, where a jet is waiting for him. ‘Don’t know where you’re running off to…but without your healing factor, it might not be a bad idea to pull back a little bit - a little self-preservation, you know?’ Rogue suggests as she rushes after her friend. ‘Lot of things to set right, Anna Marie’ Logan replies, pointing out that Rogue has enough of her own problems, too much to be worrying about him. Logan puts a hand on Rogue’s shoulder and tells her that she has put on a good game face, but that he can see the sadness in her eyes. ‘All those years learning to control your powers, only to find yourself right back where you started. It’s a heavy burden, no doubt about it’. They hug as Wolverine reminds Rogue that she has climbed at hill before, and assures her she will do it again. ‘I can try’ Rogue smiles. Wolverine climbs the steps into the jet, ‘All any of us can do. See you tomorrow morning. We’re gonna find that grave robbing bastard’ Logan tells Rogue, who asks him to be careful. Logan glances back at Rogue and tells her that it wasn’t the healing factor keeping him alive all these years. ‘I’m too damn stubborn to die’ Logan boasts, as the jet takes off.
Rogue heads back down into the mansion, and walks over to a painting of Professor Charles Xavier. ‘Heya, Professor. Want you to know, I’m not done fighting, Sir. Not by a sight’ Rogue remarks. Rogue carries on through the mansion, ‘Wanda? Logan’s right, go easy on the beer’ she calls out, adding that they still have a couple of hours of trying to pry Simon out of her head tonight. ‘WANDA?’ Rogue gasps as she enters the kitchen to find it partly destroyed. ‘Hello again, bella mia…’ someone calls out. Standing before Rogue are four members of the S-Men - Dancing Water, Mzee, Dangerous Jinn and the Goat-Faced Girl. ‘We simply have to stop meeting each other like this’ Dancing Water smirks, before Rogue is knocked out.
(Rogue’s dream)
Rogue moans, and sits up, finding herself in a cabin. ‘It’s not possible…back home?’ she utters as she walks out onto a porch. A dog barks, ‘What is it, Gus?’ Rogue asks. A figure approaches the fence surrounding the cabin, and calls out ‘Be calm, Anna Marie. I chose this memory of your childhood home to put you at ease… because I need you to trust me’. ‘CHARLES?’ Rogue calls out as she sees the Professor, the top of his head and brain missing, approach her. ‘What is left of me, even my astral form reflects how he remembers me’ Charles explains. Rogue falls backwards as Charles points out that there isn’t much remaining - that the Red Skull has cleansed most of his consciousness, but there are shards, pieces enough to remember who he was - enough to remember how much he loved Rogue. ‘I - I found your body…’ Rogue utters.
‘Yes. But there are things you need to know. And I wish you didn’t have to relive the horror of how he left me, Anna Marie’ Charles tells her, adding that he has done all he can to block Schmidt from his true power. ‘But…I’m almost gone. Soon he will have access to all of my abilities’ Charles reveals. ‘The things this man has done, the things he dreams of doing…you must get Wanda away from him’ Charles tells Rogue. They clasp hands, as Charles informs Rogue that the Red Skull has her inside one of his camps on Genosha right now, and that an inhibitor collar is around her neck. Charles explains that the collar will suppress what powers the Red Skull knows Rogue has. ‘But they’re not counting on me’ a voice calls out. Rogue turns to see a hazy vision of Simon “Wonder Man” Williams hovering nearby. ‘They don’t know ol’ Simon Williams can’t break himself free of your noggin’ Simon reminds Rogue. Charles tells Rogue that she is their secret weapon - the one thing the Red Skull is not prepared for. As Charles starts to fade away, he smiles and tells Rogue that she has grown strong and courageous, and that he is proud of her.
(Reality)
‘No - don’t go - CHARLES!’ Rogue screams as she wakes, to find herself chained to a wall by her wrists, waist and neck, as are Havok and the Scarlet Witch. ‘Rogue, calm down!’ Wanda exclaims. She informs Rogue that she took a nasty blow to the head. ‘You’ve been having nightmares, talking in your sleep’ Havok explains. But Rogue tells them that it was real, that it was Charles. Wanda and Alex look at her, doubtful, as Rogue tells Wanda that they are in bad trouble, that the Red Skull has plans for her - something awful. ‘Charles thinks I’m the one who can stop him’ Rogue adds as she suddenly breaks free of the chains, thanks to Wonder Man’s strength. She then tears the inhibitor collar off from around her neck and declares ‘That rotten bastard has no idea I’ve got Simon with me. He’s going to regret that oversight’. Rogue then frees Wanda and Havok, who asks ‘Are you sure? Xavier?’ Rogue explains that it is psychic residue, that he is doing everything he can to slow the Skull down. ‘And if he’s right about where we are…you both better be ready for the fight of your life’ Rogue adds.
Outside, a green cloudy haze surrounds the prison camp, where people amble past some of the buildings inside the camp perimeter. Spotlights shine down on them, and guards stand ready. ‘Do not deviate from the path. Do not approach the gates. Those who obey will be rewarded. The Red Skull is watching you always. There is nothing you think that he doesn’t know’ a voice calls out. Wanda, Havok and Rogue stand behind one of the buildings and look around. ‘Dear God…’ Wanda utters. ‘Place is crawling with his S-Men’ Havok points out. Rogue suggests that they get out and call the Avengers and the X-Me, when suddenly, they hear someone shout ‘Scream, damn you!’ ‘What the hell?’ Alex asks.
Inside the building the trio are next to, Magneto is restrained and held prisoner by Mzee, the tortoise-like member of the S-Men. ‘Did my family not scream for you, Magneto. Does Mzee not deserve the same satisfaction?’ Mzee asks. Magneto tells him that he doesn’t remember his family. ‘You would not. They were unimportant to you. Just another casualty of your war’ Mzee remarks as he moves closer to the restrained Magneto. Mzee declares that Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil killed them, while he lay helpless, listening to their screams. Magneto spits at Mzee’s face, causing the enraged mutant to wrap his large hands around Magneto’s head, ‘Screams you will duplicate for me now’ Mzee exclaims - before suddenly, Mzee finds himself somehow moved away from Magneto, as a crimson energy floats around him. ‘You think his killings justify your own? That you are somehow righteous?’ Wanda asks as she continues her hold over the surprised Mzee. Wanda tells Mzee that he is just perpetuating the cycle of hatred. ‘Fortunately for you, Mzee, I no longer have the taste for revenge’ Wanda adds, as she releases her hold of Mzee, and he topples backwards.
Wanda looks up at Magneto and asks ‘What have they done to you?’ ‘My daughter…’ Magneto begins, to which Wanda quickly tells him not to call her that, as she starts to remove the restraints. ‘But you still came for me? After everything, you and my dear Anna Marie -’ Magneto begins, ‘We were captured’ Rogue explains as she breaks one of the other restraints from her ex-lover. ‘Sorry, “pal” we didn’t come for you’ Havok announces. Rogue and Wanda help Magneto along, ‘Can you walk? We have to get out of here right now, we have to get help’ Rogue explains. But Magneto declares that he will not leave here - ‘I will fight’ he exclaims, as he uses his control over metal to levitate his helmet towards him. He puts it on, and Wanda and Rogue help him out of the building, while Havok looks around the corner. Wanda tells Magneto that he is in no condition to fight, so they must summon the Avengers.
‘Because they’ve always been such champions of our people -’ Magneto begins, but Rogue interrupts him: ‘Enough of that rhetoric, Erik. They’ll help - and from the looks of things, we’ll need ‘em’ Rogue declares. Havok announces that there is one patrol left, and then they will run for the far tower. ‘Forgive me, Rogue. I forgot you abandoned Charles’ dream. No longer an X-Man - merely another stooge of the human establishment’ Magneto remarks. ‘How dare you of all people -?’ Rogue begins, while Magneto turns to Wanda, ‘After all I’ve told you of the suffering of the past - look around you!’ Magneto tells her. ‘You would leave these people in this hell?’ Magneto shouts, as suddenly, it starts to rain. ‘We’ll come back with help - we’ll need it!’ Wanda replies. Magneto declares that he will not run. ‘I will free them. And then I will kill the man responsible’. Suddenly, ‘Well, old friend…you’re obviously welcome to try’ grins the Red Skull,flanked by Ahab and more of the S-Men - Dancing Water, Goat-Faced Gril, Tsar Sultan and Lei Fain, the Red Skull grins….

The Low Road
Genosha, where the rain beats down over a sprawling mutant prison. The Red Skull stands with his second in command, the mutant hating Ahab, and several of the S-Men - Dancing Water, Goat-Faced Girl, Fei Lian, the Insect and Mzee. With stolen telepathic power at his command, the Red Skull announces that the devilish thing about other people is that they refuse to conform to the wishes of their betters - but, fortunately for him, those days are past, and the world will now bend entirely to his whims. ‘Genetic pigs, polluting our world, will be relegated to their appropriate stations - servants of man’. The Red Skull declares, adding that the world is guided by one hand - his. ‘And a fine new hand it is’ he grins. As Magneto stands nearby, the Red Skull tells him that it is curious that he continues to live in that helmet to guard against telepathic intrusion so long after Xavier’s demise. ‘It doesn’t take a mind reader to know why it frightens you so, Magnus. It is not the evil that might be uncovered within - it is the emptiness’.
The Red Skull steps towards three powerful mutants who stand mesmerized against a building. Rogue. The Scarlet Witch. Havok. The Red Skull looks into the eyes of Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch and tells Magneto ‘A willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve your means. Including the gross manipulation of your own daughter. Tsk tsk. Oh, dear, she despises you, Magnus’. The Red Skull reveals that Wanda’s hatred is one that matches his own. ‘Used by her father. Driven mad for his purpose. If only she knew how important she truly is. Shaper of reality. Key to opening my Eternal Reich. And, oh - the glorious world we will create’. The Red Skull turns back to Magneto and tells him that it will, in fact, take little persuasion, for the population is indifferent to the date of the downtrodden and marginalized - an eminently exploitable aspect of the human condition, as they both well know.
‘That makes you angry? Almost as much as my ghoulish excavation of Xavier’s gifts, I’d wager’ the Red Skull remarks. He stares Magneto in the face, telling him that he doesn’t need telepathy to bring him to his knees. ‘You will do so willingly’ the Red Skull announces. ‘To ensure the safety of the daughter you have so mistreated’. The Red Skull adds that he doesn’t need to ease Wanda’s mind to use her, as he could just as easily leave her intact if so motivated - perhaps by a sign of respect. ‘Bow to me in reverence… and I will spare her mind’ the Red Skull declares. Magneto narrows his eyes in response, before dropping to his knees. ‘There now, little pig. Down, down into the mud whence you came’ the Red Skull grins, before he puts a foot to Magneto’s head and forces him into the mud. ‘Now swear to serve me! Swear it!’ the Red Skull shouts. Magneto grits his teeth, and replies ‘I swear… I will kill you’ and with that, a confused Ahab is forced to release his harpoon, thanks to Magneto’s control over metal, the harpoon is flung from Ahab’s hand and slams into the Red Skull’s face, breaking several of his teeth, knocking him back, and freeing Rogue, Wanda and Alex “Havok” Summers from his psychic hold.
‘Skull’s down - now’s our chance - assemble on their asses!’ Rogue exclaims as she, Havok, Wanda and Magneto prepare to face Ahab, Dancing Water, Mzee, Goat-Faced girl, Fei Lian and the Insect. ‘You love playing warden so much, Ahab… I’m sure you’ll love a good prison riot!’ Rogue declares as she uses the ionic energy of Wonder Man inside her form to punch Ahab backwards so hard that he goes right through the outer wall of one of the prison buildings, smashing into it. As Havok unleashes a blast of energy at Mzee, the tortoise-like mutant calls out to Goat-Faced Girl, telling her to neutralize Havok’s demon gifts. The Goat-Faced Girl stands near Havok, and her eyes flash as she does as requested. Havok finds himself powerless, as Dancing Water approaches him, telling him that it is a shame what he has done to his face - ‘But fitting that the corruption inside you is laid bare for all to see - ugliness we S-Men will expose in all mutants!’ Dancing Water declares as she traps Havok in a bubble of water, and tosses him towards Rogue.
‘No. You will die. As all Nazi filth dies’ Magneto declares as he uses his control over metal to drop a large beam down on Dancing Water and Goat-Faced Girl - the impact sends them flying into the air. As Wanda kicks the Insect in the face, knocking him back, she recalls that she hasn’t been in her father’s presence for some time - a conscious choice, that is, for the longer they are apart, the easier it is to forget the effects his rage has on her. Suddenly: ‘Prepare not! The living wind of Fei Lian seeks blood!’ Fei Lian exclaims. Wanda and Magneto turn to Fei Lian as Wanda thinks that there is a damage done to a child that can never been undone - anger buried so deep in the soil that it will forever grow thorny vines that entangle the soul. Wanda decides that her father’s rage, though understandable - is impossible to forgive. She and Magneto are knocked backwards by Fei Lian’s winds, and they land near the opening to the building that was created when Ahab was blasted backwards.
Magneto helps Wanda to her feet, as Wanda tells herself that the Red Skull and his S-Men have committed unspeakable atrocities - familiar to her father in ways she cannot imagine, so they must stand trial before the world - to show that justice can prevail. Wanda knows that is not how her father would solve this - he would slaughter them for their crimes. ‘Fall back! We must find help. Other X-Men within the -’ Wanda begins as she and Magneto enter the building as the S-Men walk towards them. Suddenly, they come to a stop, ‘Dear God…’ Wanda utters, wide-eyed, thinking to herself ‘And the part that terrifies me the most… is that I want to help him do it’. What the two powerful mutants see are several mutants strapped to chairs, cables connected to their brains. ‘Do you see now? See that you struggle in vain?’ This is what they do to our people, Wanda! And so long as they draw breath…there can be no unity!’ Magneto exclaims.
Back outside, the rain continues to beat down, as Ahab has returned, and harpoon in his hand he stands before Rogue, whose fists glow with ionic energy. ‘Looky there, Rogue. Got yourself some powers, huh? Whose goods are you stealing now, little succubus? What poor bastard did you drink up?’ Ahab asks. Rogue lunges forward, attempting to punch him, but he dodges her. ‘Oh - hit a nerve, did I?’ Ahab calls out, before tapping Rogue’s chin with his harpoon, and telling her ‘Future I come from - the suffering I brought upon you, love - I know you intimately’. Rogue rubs her face, as Ahab tells her that he knows how to make her scream, knows all the right buttons to push. ‘The hurt I brought on your little freak family? Deary, if you only knew. And the best part -?’ Ahab asks as he ducks when Rogue attempts to kick him in the face. ‘- Now I get to do it all over again’ Ahab exclaims as Rogue hit’s the ground, and he holds his harpoon to her body.
As Mzee, the Insect, Fei Lian, Goat-Faced Girl and Dancing Water approach the building where Wanda and Magneto are, Wanda reminds herself that for years she sought her father’s approval, his love - so desperately in need of a family, of some normalcy, she became something she wasn’t. Time and time again, she returned to that poisoned well - expecting a different outcome. ‘This kill is for Mzee’ the tortoise-like mutant declares, rubbing his fist. ‘Plenty of this monster to go around’ the Insect points out. ‘Monster?’ Magneto shouts, sending scraps of meta flying about, knocking the S-Men backwards. He and Wanda levitate into the air, ‘No. You face the devil himself’ Magneto warns the S-Men, and as Wanda hovers alongside him, she admits that his anger terrifies her. Several scraps of metal are embedded into the Goat-Faced Girl, while Mzee, Dancing Water, Fei Lian and Insect get to their feet. Magneto and Wanda drop down amongst them, and Magneto tells the S-Men that he has suffered his entire life because of their kind of unrepentant bigots. ‘Your delusions of martyrdom - indulging in your base sadism’ Magneto adds.
Wanda thinks that her father harbors a hatred that burns so brightly that it sears everything around it. She is reverted to a frightened, nervous child in its presence - desperate to calm him - to soothe the battered child within - to be the one thing in this world that he loves Fe Lian releases a burst of wind towards Wanda, but Wanda casts a simple hex sphere to counter the attack. She looks at Magneto, who raises his arms overhead, ‘You racists have overreached! I am no helpless child - no feeble old man. I AM MAGNETO!’ he roars, as more and more metal scraps start to hover in the air. ‘What are you doing?’ Wanda asks her father. ‘Erasing this horror, the only way one can -’ Magneto replies, as the shards and scraps of metal are flung towards Mzee, Dancing Water, Fei Lian and the Insect. ‘Permanently!’ Magneto declares. ‘No!’ Wanda exclaims - but as Magneto clasps his hands together, the metal all slams into the S-Men, squashing them.
‘Damn you…’ Wanda calls out to her father, who responds by trapping Wanda in some metal bands so that she cannot raise her hands. ‘I am damned. So let the stains cover me’ Magneto tells Wanda. He walks towards the Red Skull, who has started to sit up. ‘The beast will have his blood…’ the Red Skull calls out. ‘Magneto! Xavier could still be -’ Havok shouts. ‘Charles Xavier is dead’ Magneto responds, casting Havok away with a magnetic shove. ‘It is time to bury him’ Magneto announces, kicking the Red Skull in the head. The Red Skull falls backwards and looks up at Magneto, who remarks ‘I know how my filthy mutant abilities upset you, Schmidt’. ‘You can’t imagine’ the Red Skull responds. ‘Don’t worry - you’ll die pure. No magnetism. Just fists’ Magneto declares as he starts to punch the Red Skull in the face, gritting his teeth, the rain continues to beat down around them.
‘The demon takes hold’ Wanda tells herself, before calling out ‘Stop!’ as Magneto kneels over Red Skull and continues to punch him. ‘This - is for - Charles!’ Magneto shouts as his fist meets the Red Skull’s face, blow after blow. ‘He’s lost to it’ Wanda knows. She tells herself that Magneto doesn’t care enough to try to stop himself - and doesn’t love her enough to listen. ‘Enough! This is not for Charles! This is for you!’ Wanda exclaims as a burst of hex energy frees her from the restraints Magneto trapped her in. The Red Skull’s bloodied face, part of his red skull missing, looks up and asks ‘Did you think you were his friend, Magnus? I can tell you with all certainty - Charles never loved you!’
Magneto turns and walks away from the Red Skull, who calls out ‘He pitied you! A confused man who let his damage define him… incapable of rising above the dirt’. Wanda knows that Magneto tried to be better for Charles, tried for the X-Men - but never for her - and each attempt at sainthood made it all the worse. Magneto goes over to the rubble created by Ahab being flung through the building wall, and picks up several bricks. The Red Skull tells him that Xavier’s greatest fear was that he would die, leaving his X-Men to Magneto’s inept leadership. ‘NO!’ Havok shouts, as Magneto stands over the Red Skull, the bricks raised overhead. ‘He knew that they would become disjointed! Splintering into clans - warring over ideology! Constantly failing! Just like you, Magnus!’ the Red Skull declares. ‘Each glimmer of hope causing all that much more pain…when, once again…he fails me’ Wanda thinks to herself, as the Red Skull utters ‘Just like -’ but is interrupted when Magneto throws the bricks down on the Red Skull’s face - squashing it, blood splatters out from under the bricks. ‘No…’ Wanda utters as she and a solemn Havok rush over.
The Red Skull’s body lies motionless, bricks and blood getting wet and muddy as the rain continues to fall. Havok hangs his head, and Wanda brushes her hair back, before they look up as Rogue drops down - wide eyed, she turns to her ex-lover, Magneto, and frowns. ‘What have you done?’ Rogue asks, turning away and covering her mouth. ‘I did what had to be done, Anna Marie. Killed evil incarnate’ Magneto explains. He puts his hand on Rogue’s shoulder and tells her ‘By ending this now, I’ve saved countless lives -’ but Rogue interrupts, ‘You - after all your words - you’re no better than him’ she snaps, pushing Magneto’s hand away. Suddenly, a red burst of energy rises from the bricks, and a telepathic voice calls out ‘On the contrary, fraulein - he is far beneath me!’
The energy extends and knocks Wanda, Alex, Rogue and Magneto through the air. Rogue coughs as she stands up, a foggy-mist seeping through the prison. ‘Alex? Wanda?’ She calls out to her teammates, but gets no response. ‘Erik - what have you done, Erik?’ Rogue exclaims. Hugging herself, as a telepathic voice calls out ’Magneto did not kill evil incarnate…he unleashed an ONSLAUGHT of it!’ as the Red Skull, transformed into the Red Onslaught, tentacles attached to his back thrashing about, lightning crackles in the sky above, he looks down at Rogue….

Counter-Evolutionary
A strange futuristic place, where evolved humanoid-animals of all varieties mingle with each other in some sort of bar or nightclub. 'The way I hear it, Grako isn't going to be able to walk again. Heard it was the two humanoid types from that garbage can on the other side of the sun. Looking to get the big man' an evolved elephant remarks, adding 'I'd like to see those pink sacks try and pull their low-evo mojo on Eltor!' 'I would effortlessly outpace the human speedster!' an evolved cheetah boasts, while an evolved bear declares that he would crush their bones as an offering. 'I know, right? I'd kick 'em and slap 'em around a bunch – I'd do all kinds of stuff to 'em. Ya know, if they were here' Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver remarks as he suddenly appears sitting next to the evolved bear, arms resting behind his head. 'Kill it!' the cheetah shouts, raising a gun to Quicksilver, who replies 'Sorry. You were saying?'
The cheetah pushes the table away. 'Hold him! I will warn the High Lord!' the cheetah snarls as the table strikes Quicksilver, while the cheetah speeds away, racing past other evolved animals, he leaps out of the window and drops several stories towards the ground. Quicksilver doesn't stay  and races off while the elephant opens fire at him. 'You better run, pink sack! You dumpster babies don't want anything to do with the New Men!' the elephant shouts. Suddenly, 'I apologize for my brother's abrupt exit... though I fear you'll find me a far less desirable dinner companion' Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch announces as she appears behind the elephant and the bear, pink chaos energy circling around her hands.
While the cheetah speeds across a rooftop, swiftly across the city lit by dim blue lights under a darkened sky, while Quicksilver thinks to himself 'What if one day you awoke to discover your entire life was a lie? Everything you believed about yourself – your family – everything that makes you who you are – all of it a fabrication. Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Magneto is not our father – so who is? Why go to such legnths to mislead us? It is a revelation that shakes my world to the core. A mystery that I cannot ignore. Nothing else matters. For Wanda, the truth has become a fascination. For me – an obsession'.
'Excuse me. I hate to interrupt your cowardly escape but I have a few questions' Quicksilver calls out to the cheetah as he races up alongside him. 'You should not have come to Counter-Earth, outlander!' the cheetah responds, abruptly turning and speeding off in another direction. 'You cannot outrun Ja'rou!' the cheetah boasts, revealing his name. 'Move! Out! Of! My Way, Dog!' Ja'rou shouts as he speeds down some stairs, right in the direction of an evolved dog who is pushing a pram with her puppies. 'Pardon us' Quicksilver tells the dog as he speeds after Ja'rou and knocks him aside before he crashes into the dog and her puppies. 'You will soon learn – there is no opposing – the foundation of the new' Ja'rou declares as he lashes out at Quicksilver, striking him with his claws and drawing blood. 'A dodo. Seeking to outpace a hummingbird -' Ja'rou mutters as he speeds away, while Quicksilver falls into one of the evolved animals riding on a scooter.
Suddenly: 'Ja'rou slams into the road, which has risen up before him to form a wall, blocking his route. He falls to the feet of Wanda who stands over him, 'Running that fast, eyes front is probably an important rule to follow, hummingbird' she remarks. Quicksilver then speeds over and grabs Ja'rou by his throat, 'Now tell us, Boasty von Bragington – where is he?' Quicksilver demands. An instant later, Wanda screams and Quicksilver cries out in pain as they are both struck down by energy. 'You!' Ja'rou gasps as a figure, obscured by shadows and holding a weapon looms over him. 'Me. I'd say yoou owe me one, New Man – but I'm afraid I have to tarnish my charity' the mystery figure responds, before blasting Ja'rou with the weapon.
Elsewhere aboard an Avengers Quinjet, Rogue thinks to herself that the Avengers Unity Squad is decimated. Steve Rogers is debilitated, Thor's no longer Thor, Wonder Man is trapped in her head, Havok has gone mad, inverted, he kidnapped his wife, the Wasp. 'And Logan... is not something I can process right now' Rogue tells herself, knowing that if she starts pulling at strings she will unwind, so she has to keep moving, focus on problems she can solve. 'Scarlet Witch's been missing for a week' Rogue tells her teammates – Sam Wilson a.k.a. the current Captain America, the android known as the Vision, and Jericho Drumm a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo. Sam asks Rogue if they are sure she is missing, to which Rogue remarks that given the timing, she fears something is very wrong. At the controls, the Vision states that if the Avengers went on red alert every time Wanda took a sabbatical, then they would have to start a whole new team dedicated to keeping track of her. 'Highly evolved, logic over emotion, yet you can't get over your bitterness at your ex-wife, Vision?' Rogue comments, telling the Vision that that nonsense ends right now. 'Whatever feeling's you're harboring – Wanda's an Avenger'.
'And a ticking time bomb with too much power' the Vision points out. 'If that's the only reason you're helping, you cold toaster, I'll take it' Rogue declares. Sam reminds Rogue that Wanda's world is unraveling, so she has to be considered a danger. 'And here I thought I'd gathered people who actually cared for her' Rogue mutters. Doctor Voodoo speaks for the first time, stating that after all she has been though, revelations such as these could shatter a person. But Rogue tells Doctor Voodoo that Wanda is too strong to shatter, and suggests that she is just looking for answers, which leads Rogue to think she'd have started where she was raised. 'Wundagore Mountain. A devilish den of science and arcane forces' Voodoo announces. 'Your comfort zone, Jericho. Even with Doctor Voodoo's arcane aid – Wundagore Mountain is vast and perilous. How precisely will we track Wanda?' the Vision enquires. Rogue tells the sour android not to worry about that, and turning to some sort of large container she claims that she brought just the thing.
Shortly, the Quinjet has landed at Wundagore Mountain, the Vision hovers in the air, while Captain America, Rogue and Doctor Voodoo walk near each other, with a magical leash extending from his hand to the neck of Sabretooth a.k.a. Victor Creed, who sniffs the air ahead of the others. He reports that he is on Red's scent now, and it is about a week old. 'She's with that Eurotrash brother of hers. Something dark in that gal, tell you what'. Doctor Voodoo points out that to delve into the realm of chaos colors one's essence eternally, and asks Rogue if the mystic leash is truly necessary. Rogue replies that even inverted she has a hard time trusting Sabretooth, and Sam Wilson agrees. 'Giving me the warm an' fuzzies' Sabretooth mutters. Sam asks Jericho if he is picking up anything supernatural, to which Doctor Voodoo responds that he is hearing the dead murmur here, and explains that this mountain is a conduit to many dreadful realms, and now its vile magics have grown into the forest. Voodoo informs the others that the dead tell him they are not safe, that they say these grounds should be scorched. 'Got something' Sabretooth A door built into the side of a mountain is half open. The Avengers Unity Squad gather around the door and Rogue asks Sabretooth if he has a whiff of where the twins went. 'Don't need heightened smell to find this clue, frail' Creed replies.
The five enter the compound and Rogue tells Creed that she really hoped that with his moral compass inverted he'd drop the “frail” routine. 'Sure, why not just neuter me thorough' Creed replies, before announcing that the scent goes dead here, as if they up and disappeared. 'Allow me' the Vision declares, stating that although this place was used to bore through to mystic secrets, it was built upon technology. 'And you are the Sorcerer of Science' Sam points out. 'Hello, old soul' the Vision remarks as he touches the controls of a large computer system in the cavern. 'You are early' a voice responds. The Vision asks the voice if they will tell him their secrets. 'All doors are open to you, Cleric of the Next' the voice states. 'Awful friendly with the Tin Man' Sabretooth points out. 'Can you imagine being a young girl raised in this place?' Rogue asks the others. Sam replies that it helps him understand Wanda a bit better. 'There now. Is that all you require?' the voice asks the Vision. As he watches the computer screen, the Vision states that this is very disturbing indeed. He turns back to his teammates and informs them that Wanda and Quicksilver opened a portal to a world he thought long since destroyed. 'World of pure imagination?' Sabretooth snarls. 'Given the luck of this team, a trip to Wonka's factory doesn't seem likely' Sam points out.
A projection is emitted from the Vision's hand that depicts a solar system as he announces that Wanda and Quicksilver have traveled to Counter-Earth, a doppelganger of this world, Counter-Earth was situated perfectly behind their sun, always out of view. He adds that the device that teleported Wanda and Pietro there has since been destroyed by a sentry of these halls. Referring to the projected map, the Vision asks Jericho if with the precise location and exact triangulation, whether he can teleport them there. 'I would be a poor Houngan Supreme could I not' Jericho responds. Doctor Voodoo holds his staff out and as green energy whips around it, he tells the others to stand still, as the slightest misstep could deposit them all in the dread Swamps of Oguun. He begins to cast his spell, 'Staff of Legba, dispatch to me the barrier crows to guide us!' He continues the spell, as the energy whips around his teammates, linking them all, when suddenly, from the shadows, a robotic voice calls out 'Abandon all old gods – pray only to the New Men!' the sentry declares as its fist slams into Doctor Voodoo's head, knocking him to the ground. 'The spell, Jericho! Finish the spell!' Sam Wilson shouts. Doctor Voodoo utters two final words as the sentry slams its fist down into Voodoo once against, and the five disappear in the twisting green energy.
There is darkness, it bends in on Jericho Drumm. He hears ancestral voices whisper warnings, guided only by the will of Papa Jumbo. The whispers fade, giving way to a cacophony of unavenged. Jericho is drawn off course by their pleas – drawn to fulfill his duty to serve all restless spirits. 'It is not through any failings of ours, you see. He plans to share our fate with all of the blind' a voice utters. Drumm looks up to see a spirit standing over him. 'He has done it countless times before. Our only crime was imperfection' the spirit explains. Doctor Voodoo sits up in a wasteland of destroyed buildings and skeletons, and asks the spirit for forgiveness, explaining that he is disorientated. 'And you have me at a bit of a disadvantage' he adds. The ground is soaked in death – the essence of billions of innocents. Jericho knows that he is no longer on Earth. The spirit motions to a building up ahead, and explains that it is the Council of the Restless Dead. Jericho climbs the steps and realizes that there is more at work than his own will – and that his arrival was anticipated. They call him to them, and he feels as if he is one of them. The doors open, as Jericho is called home.
The Vision surveys his surroundings in a futuristic city. He calls himself an emotional fool, as he knew there was a sentry, but he is so confused by his unresolved anger towards Wanda – distracted, he did not think to scan for the sentry. The Vision knows that Doctor Voodoo's spell worked, as he is on Counter-Earth, and he wonders if the others survived as well. The Vision notes that the city is spotless, a level of advanced technology he has only encountered in beings such as himself – and Ultron. Not dead, simply dormant – as if in wait. 'Hello? Anyone?' the Vision calls out. 'Calm yourself, dear/ You are not alone, nor in danger' a voice responds directly into the Vision's mind. The Vision sees a light down an alleway and walks towards it, as the voice tells him 'I could never allow you to come to harm, my love. I have waited an eternity for this moment'. 'How could you even know who I am?' the Vision asks as he enters the light. 'How could I not?' the voice calls back, as the Vision finds himself in a strange, barren room where a silver female form sits on a chair, a photo displayed on a monitor behind her – a photo of the Vision, herself and two children. 'It is a poor Eve that does not know her Adam' the mysterious being remarks.
Elsewhere, Rogue slowly wakes, as someone stands over her, holding a spoon of some sort of food towards her mouth. 'There, there. That's a good girl' he tells her. 'Where...where the hell am I?' Rogue asks urgently as she looks surprised at the strange beak-nosed man trying to feed her. She sits up, but cannot move as she is restrained in some sort of contraption. 'Calm your body, sweet bean. This sauce of apple is delicious for your mouth, correct?' the strange man asks, telling Rogue that its nutrients will help her regain her vigor. 'Yum-yum now' he adds. But Rogue moves her mouth away, 'You like apple-flavored sauces – my research does not lie!' the man barks. 'I would have taken you as a first-round pick if I had my druthers, but he has other ideas, yes-yes. Always thinking forward!' Rogue ignores his prattling andv vasks him what he has done to her – why she cannot move. 'You are precisely where you should be. Do you have any idea of the power that is is surging through you, succulent little buttercup?' The strange being grins as he tells Rogue that Simon Williams could barely contain the ionic energies he was composed of, eventually living as a being of pure energy. 'He courses through you. Yet you hold his beautiful gift with no cellular deconstruction, no strain whatesoever. The power to build a new star, a new world for new men!' he declares, touching Rogue's unimpressed face.
The Master Scientist turns away and drops the apple sauce, 'You should be the prime model. I said as much! By Karkor, I've told him this! The key is with the mutants. It always has been!' he shouts, knocking some other food or liquids off a table. He hangs his head, 'Forgive this old fool. Rude, self-centred. You can't move because I have inversed the ionic energies within you, creating a gravity anchor' he explains. He tells Rogue that it was necessary to stop all of her thrashing – as he expunged the consciousness of Simon Williams from her mind. A horrified Rogue stares at the Master Scientist in shock.
Sam Wilson finds himself tangled in vines and shrubs, alongside other strange beings, one of whom cries out in their alien tongue. Sam realizes that it is a desperate plea and reminds himself that when Rogue put the call out, he thought this would be routine, a chance to recuperate from the past few weeks of insanity – but he has been doing this long enough to have known better. Sam hears the sound of rustling in the brush and notices that his shield made the jump as well – a small favor. He knows he has to get free of the vines, when suddenly, the source of the rusling reveals itself – a tree-like creature moves slowly, with purpose, its eyes transfixed on Sam's cellmate, a red-skinned alien trapped next to him. The sound of his plea – Sam realizes his “cellmate” has seen what these strange tree-like creatures can do – and he is terrified. Suddenly, the tree-creature slams its fist into the chest of the red-skinned alien. His screams transmute from panicked terror – to the groaning of wood, as he becomes like the tree creature. 'Oh, you have gotta be kidding me!' Sam mutters. He strugges to break free, but the vines are like iron. Panic surges through him – it is no use. The tree-creature utters something in its native tongue, 'Not like this, helpless and shackled – not like -' Sam thinks to himself as the tree-like creature slams its fist into his chest.
Sabretooth's senses are going haywire, not a single scent that he recognizes though. He looks around, he is in some sort of baths or swimming pool. He sees pristine towers and perfect people – evolved animals – perfumed air with not a toxin in it. Severfal people stop and stare at Sabretooth as he sits in the water. 'What is it?' someone asks. 'Don't get close' another comments. 'Who knows what diseases -' someone mutters. 'Do something?' another asks. 'Kill it!' someone shouts as Sabretooth gets up and runs past the evolved animals. 'Mongrel!' someone calls out. 'Gene trash!' another declares. Creed tells himself that a place like this, the old him would be in heaven – shred its guts and show it the gooey bits inside. 'Back to your sewer!' someone shouts. 'Unclean!' another shouts. Polite disdain suddenly turns as the mob hurls their fancy foods, hissing with contempt. Creed decides that the sweet little things ain't got no idea how lucky they are he is a sweet unicorn of rainbows. Suddenly, 'All right, citizens! Get back to your business!' a voice calls out. Sabretooth picks up a scent, no, the absence of scent – something perfect – something highly evolved. He looks up to see a squad of New Men surrounding the High Evolutionary, who points at Sabretooth and declares that his New Men will deal with this old vermin!

Untitled
Counter-Earth, on the far side of the sun.
'You have no place here!' one of the New Men exclaims, as another slams Victor “Sabretooth” Creed back with a weapon. 'What the hell did I ever do to deserve this? Oh... right' Creed thinks to himself. He knows that there is only one way out – he has to gut the monkeys. He starts to attack the New Men, but the evolved animals also have powers and abilities of their own. There is another problem – the old angry thing has packed it up – the thing that kept him alive all these years – the thing willing to do whatever the hell it took. One of the New Men's arms extends, and his fist slams into Creed's face, while another flutters above Creed, relasing some sort of energy towards him. 'And what it took was ugly' Creed reminds himself, as the evolved animal above him lashes out with some sort of electric whip that wraps itself around Creed. 'He is ready for your judgmment, Highness' the creature calls out. 'We must do as we always do. Strive for perfection' the High Evolutionary remarks as he releases a beam of energy from his head – which cuts a hole straight through Sabretooth's front. 'Maybe ol' Sabretooth ain't the scrapper he once was – but I'd rather die with that thing gone – than live with any more blood on my hands' Sabretooth thinks to himself, growling as the energy cuts through him, he drops to his knees, then collapses into the water at his feet.
'I can't have any of your people knowing about us' the High Evolutionary remarks, before turning to one of the armor-wearing New Men whom he calls Drhovo and tells him to prepare the rejuvenation community and to alert the Green Ones, as they will be needed soon. 'That time of year again, hhmh?' Drhovo responds, before the High Evolutionary walks among the many gathered evolved animals, or New Men, and tells them to calm themselves, as the unpleasantness is over. 'I know such violence is quite unsettling, though not completely foreign' he adds, walking up some stairs to a large platform, with an even larger statue of himself, that points out over the city. He explains that that is one of the many reasons for his visit today, and instructs the citizens to gather around, for there is much to discuss. 'Denizens of Counter-Earth, you here in my capital represent the very best of my work. But I'm  afraid your best is not good enough' the High Evolutionary announces. He asks them what the purpose of life is, and points out that some say the pursuit of happiness and the simple pleasures. 'But they are fools' he declares as his citizens listen intently.
'Primates, content to savor their evolutionary prerogative to consume and procreate. Were we to accept this as the aspiration of all life, we would be no better than bacteria' the High Evolutionary remarks, adding that they would be low and unthinking, carrying out biological processes with no mind to betterment. 'You have no idea the amount of of work that has gone into perfecting eaxch of you. But the process of perfection is arduous and never-ending. And you are far from where you must ascend'. Some of the citizens look worried. Couples hold hands, and parents carry their children. 'You still fall to base emotions such as the lie of love' Turning to a mother whose hands rest on a wheelchair where her child sits, the High Evolutionary declares that others commit the atrocity of being born imperfect. The High Evolutionary points out that some of them fall prey to the instinct of aggression and violence for material gain. 'But these failings are not your fault, citizens of Anushia. Your failings are my failings. Genetic instincts and weaknesses I somehow overlooked in your creation' the High Evolutionary declares. The High Evolutionary hangs his head and tells the citizens not to despair, for there is a solution. 'To all beginnings come endings. And to the cause of perfection you have taught me much'.
The High Evolutionary then tells his citizens that these are failings he will rectify with their replacements. Some citizens start to leave the gathering as the High Evolutionary tells them to say their goodbyes and accept his gratitude for the lessons they have taught him. 'Those who come after you will be better for it'. Suddenly, 'Forgive me for judging – sounds like you got evil on your mind' Sabretooth calls out as he lunges towards the High Evolutionary, but comes to a half mid-air as the High Evolutionary raises a hand, 'Hmmh. You've healed entirely' he comments, deciding that is extraordinary, he remarks that he has use for Sabretooth – unlike the rest. The High Evolutionary rises up into the air, Sabretooth at his side, 'Whatever the hell you got planned – don't!' Creed shouts. 'Blood like this – never washes off!' Creed tells the High Evolutionary, who suddenly glows in a brilliant light, 'It is but a drop in the ocean' he replies, while on the ground below, frightened citizens begin to run for their lives, as the energy starts to spread like a bubble – destroying everyone in its path. 'Your perception is skewed. This is not true life – this is a test tube – a failed experiment in the quest for perfection. One of thousands. And thousands more to come' the High Evolutionary announces as darkness surrounds the city.
And from darkness elsewhere, Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch suddenly wakes. 'No!' she shouts as she sits up on a table in some sort of bunker. She smells chemicals – pungent, acrid – the kind used to hide something bad. She realizes she is in a medical lab, and recalls that she did not get a look at who ambushed them. 'The High Evolutionary? We were getting close' Wanda tells herself, before realizing that she is not restrained. She tells herself that this doesn't make any sense, and remembers it has been weeks since they found out, and Pietro is unraveling. She knows she made a promise to him, and she plans to keep it – they are not going home until they know the truth. 'Wanda... where are we?' Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver asks as he sits up on the table next to his twin's and rubs the back of his head. They get off the tables and Wanda tells Pietro to shush, as she hears muddled voices arguing close by, and they are angry. 'We could have done more!' a voice shouts from behind a door.
'We could have saved them!' someone exclaims angrily. 'This is his doing. It's not your fault, Paim' an older man in a grey outfit tells the angry woman, as they stand around a table, maps of the city and monitors displaying the devastation outside around them. 'No – this is your fault!' the woman snaps, telling the older man that if he hadn't been distracted, they could have at least evacuated some portion of the population – they could have done something. A bald man wearing armor stands around the table but remains silent, as Paim motions to the monitors 'All those lives lost! And for what? Two useless castaways!' she exclaims. 'THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE!' the older man booms, slamming his fists onto the table, before asking how many they saved from the last cleansing, and how many of their own they lost. 'He determines when to wipe the slate clean at such indeterminate moments that there is no planning for it – no matter how many spies we send!' He adds that they have never once had fair warning. Paim scowls and addressing the older man as Low Evolutionary, reminds him that her son died to warn him – died to give him that information. 'But instead of attempting to evacuate any of the five million souls in that city – you chose the lives of these two self-serving trespassers' Paim declares, motioning at a shocked Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver who have entered the chamber.
Elsewhere, Jericho Drumm a.k.a. Doctor Voodoo is in a seemingly empty building where the Council of Anguish reside. Dim lights shine down on him as he stands in the middle of a dark chamber. 'Died while feeding my son' a voice calls out. 'Help us!' a voice pleads. 'Killed with my wife -' another exclaims. 'His laughter filled the air' a voice recalls. 'My daughter's screams -' another begins, while Voodoo tells the Spirits of Anguish that he hears their pain. He floats up into the air and assures them that they are not alone anymore. ' - the elderly couple next door-', 'My family annihilated -', '- blamed it on us!', 'The pig gave us a lecture -' more and more voices call out, until Doctor Voodoo tells them that they must choose a single delegate. 'A single voice to -' he begins, but they ignore him and someone exclaims 'Holding my baby -' while another remarks 'Running in a panic -', '- my entire family -', ' - every friend I had -'. Doctor Voodoo appears to be overwhelmed, 'Please – your cries -' he begins, but the voices continue: 'Help us!', 'We must be avenged!'
'A schoolyard! Every child there was -', 'I couldn't protect them!', '- the flames burnt my skin!', 'Not fair, it's not fair -', 'Murderer!', 'The pain, you cannot imagine -', 'Do something to -', 'Genocide!', 'This was my life – this was how -', 'He took joy in it -', the voices continue, until Doctor Voodoo raises his staff overhead and shouts 'You are overwhelming me!' before dropping back to the floor, where he slams his staff against the ground and booms 'Enough! Reveal yourself!' With that, dozens of glowing spirits of the dead fill the chamber. Doctor Voodoo tells them that he feels their rage, and understands why they have drawn him here. 'But I cannot hear all of your pleas at once if I am to aid you' he explains. Watching the spirits float around him, Doctor Voodoo asks which one of them will be the Council of Anguish's voice. A female figure floats down to Voodoo and announces that she represents the murdered peoples of Counter-Earth. 'Who were you in life, restless spirit?' Doctor Voodoo asks. The spirit replies that her name was Doniva – first daughter of the High Evolutionary.
Doniva explains that she is one among countless millions that her father has grown and slaughtered on Counter-Earth. She adds that he hyper-evolves a people, and once their imperfections are laid bare...he annihilates them. 'No species will ever ascend to his lofty and unobtainable expectations' Doniva remarks. She tells Doctor Voodoo that her curse was her kindness, pleading for an end to this atrocity was her crime – and for that kindness, her father crushed her skull while she slept. She tells him that as they speak, it has happened again – millions more souls join the Council. 'If we do not act, if you do not aid us... billions more will join us before he's through'.
Outside, the High Evolutionary walks past the smoldering remains of the dead and declares 'Rise, Green Ones. Cleanse the city. Grow trees. Consume the remains of the failed. For tomorrow, I replant'. The tree-like Green Ones rise from the ground, and amongst them one wears a familiar red, white and blue costume – Sam Wilson a.k.a. Captain America. The High Evolutionary announces that tomorrow he will grow a new breed – a better breed – hopefully one more befitting of his gift of life.
Meanwhile, in some sort of torture chamber, Sabretooth is strung up as Dhrovo's axe is sliced into his chest. 'That's got to hurt. My plasmic core burning your cells for fuel. It feeds me, so I don't know it hurts you. Don't need to hear a single whimper to know that' Dhrovo remarks. 'You just tell Lord Gator what he wants to hear and it all ends' Dhrovo adds, before shouting 'Why are you here?' Creed grits his teeth and replies that he is bird watching, just as the High Evolutionary enters the chamber. 'You still haven't made this one speak?' he asks. Dhrovo tells the High Evolutionary that the creature is formidable, and won't even scream for him. 'Impressive for a low-born' Dhrovo adds. 'Let's see why' the High Evolutionary declares as he points at Sabretooth and energy starts to glow in his eyes, and Creed screams as what appears to be his cellular structure is torn from his body. 'He screams for me' the High Evolutionary grins.
'Hmmh. Interesting things can be found in the trash' the High Evolutionary remarks as he examines Creed's cellular structure. He announces that he has never seen anything like this. 'Master Scientist, are you observing?' the High Evolutionary calls out. A voice responds via communicator 'Always, your highness. The creature's tracking and healing abilities go far beyond anything I've encountered'. A holographic projection of the bird-like Master Scientist appears and asks the High Evolutionary what his bidding is. 'There is Earth refuse on my world. I don't need to tell you how unfortunate that could be for all of us' the High Evolutionary responds. 'The fraternal twins. They masquerade as mutants' the High Evolutionary comments. 'Yes, yes. I remember the old games, I remember well. But I can assure you...I have detected no mutants here' the Master Scientist declares, while in his lab, Rogue is his prisoner, trapped in a contraption she is unable to move. 'A pity. And a curiosity' the High Evolutionary remarks, before telling the Master Scientist to be ready, as he is sending him a gift. 'Unravel his robust regeneration. And most importantly, his hunting abilities rival all my New Men's. He is the key to locating my son' the High Evolutionary declares. The Master Scientist assures the High Evolutionary that he awaits Sabretooth's arrival.
The High Evolutionary turns to another figure who has appeared in the chamber. 'We have an interesting dilemma, Luminous' he tells woman with white hair in a blue costume and blue energy glowing in her hands that he needs her to kill her brother and sister!

Counter-Evolutionary, part 3
Counter-Earth, where the Vision is connected to the being called Eve. He tells himself that no logic can move him past it – no other purpose can exist beyond this euphoria. Two organisms intertwined and made wholly new. She is everything – everything the Vision is not. Where he is broken, she is whole, where he is weak, she is strong. 'The coupling – has she been waiting for me?' the Vision wonders their clasp hands, wires connect their minds. The Vision wonders if the randomness of his travels has been carefully calculated – anticipated? But he pushes aside the fears he brought with him from Earth – this is the reason to live. It is love.
They continue to lie back-to-back, their minds and bodies linked, when suddenly, the High Evolutionary appears, looking down over them. 'You imagined you could come unbidden to my world, android?' the High Evolutionary asks. 'Forgive me... but I did not know that entire worlds could be possessed' the Vision replies as he breaks the link to Eve. 'Father...' Eve utters as the High Evolutionary acknowledges her. The Vision re-attaches his cape and remarks that he had hoped to find his place in the universe – he did not think to look here. The High Evolutionary tells the Vision that if he wishes to take from this Eden, he would be most displeased, but if the Vision hopes to join Counter-Earth as a new element, then he would welcome him. 'In truth... I am lost' the Vision confesses. 'Now perhaps found?' the High Evolutionary asks, pointing out that the Vision has been remarkably busy in such a short time. 'Father, please do not judge what you're observing' Eve asks.
The trio enter another chamber, whhere dozens of incubators housing what can only be described as infant androids are sleeping – growing – inside the small pods. 'Our first-generation is already self-replicating' Eve announces. 'Remarkable' the High Evolutionary utters, before asking Eve and the Vision why they have kept this from him. The Vision tells him that they feared his reaction. 'You've earned your judgmental reputation' the Vision points out. The High Evolutionary tells the Vision that he hopes he will embrace the responsibility they have created here. They look out a window, over the city around them, and the High Evolutionary remarks that it would be unfortunate if his attention was divided. 'Look upon this city – a blank canvas. It awaits my design. There is a place in it for your collaborations with Eve' the High Evolutionary declares. The Vision stares out at the deserted city, then imagines it with his children playing in the street. The Vision tells the High Evolutionary that he has lived for many years, but that he has never felt more alive than he is now – he can see what his evolution will bring. 'I must accept it' he states, adding that he has always chased the elusive spark of creation – but here, with Eve, that spark burns wildly.
Elsewhere, in the lab of the Master Scientist, the bird-like scientist stands over various controls and monitors, while Rogue is bent over, pushing up a heavy weight that extends over her. The Master Scientist boasts that from Rogue's gene-freak DNA he will create the perfect soldier, an unlimited power source – a masterpiece.
'This is why Ah don't work alone' Rogue reminds herself, knowing that right about now, Logan would claw through the wall, or Kurt would have bamfed her out of here – and she wouldn't have to listen to this anymore. The Master Scientist declares that reconstructing Rogue's feral friend is beneath him, but he will accomplish this task because he must not fall out of favor with the High Evolutionary. 'You, however, are the most exciting project I've undertaken in quite some time. The kind he would keep for himself, if he knew that you were here' the Master Scientist tells Rogue, adding that she has harnessed some impressive ionic powers, but that she hasn't unlocked their true potential. Rogue tells herself that she isn't waiting to be saved, and energy crackles from the monitors around the Master Scientist, who tells Rogue that he can see this mystery is bothering her. 'Not to worry. We’ll get to the bottom of it together'. Suddenly, Rogue manages to push the massive weight upwards and stands up, while thinking 'Only thing you'll be at the bottom of is a grave'.
Meanwhile, in Lowtown, a refuge for the High Evolutionary's gene-trash:
'This is the High Evolutionary's wondrous planet? It's no better than Earth!' Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver exclaims as he and his sister, Wanda a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch, walk alongside the Low Evolutionary and survey the shanty-town like landscape, where refugees huddle around fires in drums to keep warm amongst the destruction and debris. The Low Evolutionary remarks that it is their home, everyone here is a survivor from one of his father's purges. Hated and hunted – simply for being. Wanda thinks to herself that she and Pietro have been through so much, but the one bond they had that was unbreakable was family. Now though, that last lifeline is fraying. 'Who are we? Who are our parents?' Wanda asks herself, knowing that the High Evolutionary has those answers, she vows that they are not leaving without them. The Low Evolutionary tells the twins that the High Evolutionary knows they are out here somewhere, so he makes sure his flora-scrubbers pick everything clean.
The Low Evolutionary looks over to a makeshift hospital where several patients lie hooked up to IV bags. The Low Evolutionary adds 'They leave us nothing. Now we are at the precipice. We have so few warriors left to challenge him'. Quicksilver suddenly speeds away, while a saddened Wanda listens as the Low Evolutionary tells her that the fact the High Evolutionary has not destroyed him yet causes him concern – that he is still an experiment the High Evolutionary is observing. He adds that the arrival of Wanda and Quicksilver is the first bit of good news he has had in a long time. 'You can help save thousands of lives' he declares. 'Thousands?' Wanda gasps. Atop a large mountain of rubble, Quicksilver comes to a halt, 'Steel yourself, sister' he calls out. The Low Evolutionary joins Quicksilver atop the mountain of rubble, and Wanda follows, where she gazes out at a seemingly endless ghetto. 'Behold the magnitude of my father's shame. Their only crime: being unperfect' the Low Evolutionary announces. 'I believe you mean imperfect – ah. Yes, a joke. I'm usually quicker' Pietro comments. 'Well played' the Low Evolutionary replies. But Wanda tells herself that nothing about this is funny. She is annoyed with her brother. 'Is he my brother? Yes. Of course he is. Right?'
The Low Evolutionary reports that these are just the scant survivors of his father's rampages, and declares that no longer will they cower in the dark corners – and if they wait any longer to overthrow him, they will be too weak. 'Remind you of any place?' Pietro asks Wanda. 'Several, in fact' Wanda replies. 'Ho, is it our glorious leader?' a voice calls out. 'Hail, the Low Evolutionary' another warrior wearing makeshift armor exclaims. 'When do we ride into battle?' one of the warriors asks. 'Why? So you can finally be disarmed  completely?' the Low Evolutionary asks the warrior who is lacking one arm and one ear. The warrior just laughs and holding up a gun points out that he still has one arm to fight with. 'And you shall need it – soon' the Low Evolutionary assures the warrior, before he and the twins carry on, towards a dog-like being in a robe, with a bandage over their eyes stands amongst the wasteland. “Low Evolutionary”? Quicksilver asks. The Low Evolutionary explains that it was a mocking title hung on him by his fellow rejects, though he has come to embrace it. 'Evolution comes from a low place...and rises' he adds.
The Low Evolutionary tells the twins that he has much to ask of them and little to offer. He adds that they must evacuate the wounded to Earth, and return with as powerful an army as possible. He takes a wrapped bar, possibly chocolate, from his jacket and hands it to the blind dog, while monkey in make-shift armor rushes over to him, 'Sir! Sir!' the creature calls out, reporting that they got a mysterious message from a new source over a relay – and if it is true, it could spell their doom. The monkey announces that the Low Evolutionary's father has found some new way to track them. 'He plans to follow the trail you left from Callipo'. The Low Evolutionary remarks that it is too late then for those who cannot fight. 'Everyone who can lift a weapon or run supplies reports to me in an hour – get everyone else into the bunkers and seal the entrance. And have Paim and Ruthle meet me in the command tent' the Low Evolutionary instructs the monkey.
'What if we take the fight to the High Evolutionary?' Wanda suggests. The Low Evolutionary tells her that is very brave and foolhardy. 'If you had ever seen him unmake a city, you would not consider it' He asks her to stay with them and join their ranks. 'Your messenger said the High Evolutionary has a new tracker, right?' Quicksilver asks. 'What if we can take it out before they find you?' he suggests. The Low Evolutionary tells Quicksilver that it is a good idea, but that he doesn't think Quicksilver understands how fast the High Evolutionary moves. 'Really?' Pietro grins.
Wanda wants to stay in the slums knowing that the Hgh Evolutionary is on his way – but she also knows that they can save lives by taking the fight to him. 'There must be something we can do for those poor people. The Morlock Tunnels are empty, perhaps -' Wanda begins as she runs through a forest, while Pietro darts about ahead of her, 'Creating a new caste system on Earth and putting these wretches at the bottom of it is hardly a liberation' Pietro tells his sister, before speeding back towards her and picking her up, 'I wish I could have seen the lock on father's face – er, Magneto's face when he found out he wasn't our father' Pietro declares. Wanda admits that she laughed at the time, but Magneto's heart was broken. 'Well, now he knows what it's like to be his son!' Pietro exclaims as he speeds across a lake. They stop on land and Pietro tells Wanda to rest here while he scouts on. He speeds off and an instant later returns, reporting that he has found the city.
'Well, that ostentatious citadel vibes “evolutionary maniac”' one of the twins comments as Quicksilver speeds towards the sprawling, futuristic city that stands before them. 'Oh dear' Quicksilver utters as he comes to a halt. 'What?' Wanda asks. 'What the hell is Sabretooth doing here?' Quicksilver asks her. 'Well, well, if it isn't the Garbage Twins' one of the New Men declares as he holds a leash connected to a collar around Sabretooth's neck. 'You made a mistake in coming home' the New Man adds, while Sabretooth growls at his teammate. Wanda fires a blast of energy at the New Man, causing him to drop the leash, while Quicksilver slams his fist into the other New Man. So – you're the wonderful creation of the High Evolutionary?' Quicksilver asks, before running circles around his opponent, repeatedly punching him in the face, Quicksilver instructs him to tell his boss to start over. As Sabretooth lunges towards Wanda, the powerful mutant tells herself that she should let Creed gut her – that way she will look how she feels. 'Stop! Victor, awake!' Wanda exclaims as her pink energy surrounds her teammate, holding him in place several feet away from her.
'So, Creed is the High Evolutionary's new tracking machine?' Quicksilver asks, telling Wanda that it can't be a coincidence, he asks her if she think the rest of the team is here. Wanda crosses her arms and tells Pietro that they shouldn't have come here, that it is all falling apart. 'Oh, you have no idea' a voice calls out. They turn to see a woman with long white hair dressed in a revealing blue costume. She points at them and declares 'Ew. You're both much older and grosser than I imagined'. The twins look at each other, puzzled. 'Shall I?' Wanda asks, stepping forward. 'Allow me' Pietro replies as he speeds towards the woman in blue, 'I'll be gentle' he calls out. 'Hah!' the woman laughs. 'Oh, Pietro! Look at you go! How cute! Do they really call you Quicksilver?' she exclaims, as Quicksilver appears to reach her, she steps to one side and asks him if it is an ironic name – she gets the silver part from the gray hair. Quicksilver looks susprised as he carries on past her. 'Fun chat!' she exclaims, extending her fist, she slams it into Pietro's face. 'Happy landings!' she tells him as Quicksilver is smacked backwards into a tree. 'Oh, hell' Wanda mutters. 'Well, I guess you're mine' she tellls the woman, pink energy glowing around Wanda's hands, she starts to get a sinking feeling that the other woman just outmaneuvered Pietro.
'Yield, girl!' Wanda shouts while wondering how the woman got Pietro's powers. A black cloud starts to twirl around Wanda and her foe, 'No need. I know you're the slow one, but did you not just see what I did too your brother? Now you're attacking me?' she calls back. It is then that Wanda realizes they are in much bigger trouble than she thought. 'How – how can you access the chaos magic?' Wanda exclaims as the other woman glows in amongst the black cloud. 'I don't just access it – I control it!' the other woman grins, energy glowing around her hand. Wanda realizes that her foe doesn't just have Pietro's abilities – she has a more reliable control of her abilities than even Wanda does. 'Go back to your garbage can planet while you can. The truth of who you are would destroy you!' the other woman warns Wanda. 'You should visit Earth some time. We have child Avengers that could kick your ass!' Wanda declares as she unleashes a large burst of the chaos magic towards her enemy – but at the same time, Quicksilver rushes towards the woman, who steps aside just before Wanda's magic strikes her – so it hits Quicksilver instead, causing him to be flung towards Wanda. 'Too slow!' the other woman laughs.
It all happens so fast, and for the first time, Wanda finally voices the  fear – 'Was I made this way? Was I made here?' before she falls to the ground, Quickilver too. The woman turns to the New Men who have recovered and take hold of Sabretooth. She instructs them to take father's new hound and find the city of filth. 'Yes, Luminous' one of the New Men replies. 'I only ask that you save some of them for me' Luminous remarks, turning to Wanda and Quicksilver, who starts to sit up, 'Well, you two pieces of gene junk were boring' she tells them. 'I don't know how you pulled that off, but -' Quicksilver begins, 'The worst part of facing old tumors...' Luminous begins as she kicks Quicksilver back onto the ground, '...is that I can't even do the merciful thing and kill you two...father wants to have a chat before the end' she declares, grabbing Wanda by her hair and pulling her face close, 'Let's meet our maker' she scowls. Wanda tells herself that she can't believe they were going to barge in on the High Evolutionary and pound the answers from him – she refuses to believe it.
Luminous then casts a bubble around the twins, 'He really broke the mold with you two... so the horrid results would not be repeated' she insults them as she takes flight, the twins inside the bubble which floats after her. 'We came here to discover who we are... and I fear that knowledge is going to destroy us' Wanda realizes.
At the Lowtown bunker, a lone guard stands watch outside. He hears a cracking noise in some bushes, 'Who's there?' he asks, firing his weapon into the shurbs, as Sabretooth lunges towards him and slams the guard's head against the ground. 'Well done, animal' one of the New Men tells Sabretooth, while the other alerts the High Evolutionary to the fact they have located the insects' nest.
From his location the High Evolutionary beckons Dhrovo and the other New Men forward and declares 'Excellent. Then you know what to do next, my New Men. Exterminate the “Low Evolutionary” and his flock of rats!'
