Date Night: part 2
Upstate New York…
The mysterious boy is startled to find both his parents dead. He doesn’t even know where he is or what happened and demands to know what’s going on. As he starts to cry, police officers arrive and want to arrest the boy. The frightened boy doesn’t understand what the cops want from him. Can’t they see his parents are dead? He needs help! The officers claim that the boy is right about one thing: his parents are dead… and because of the fact that he killed them! The boy freaks out and doesn’t think that’s possible. Suddenly, he finds himself on a grassy field, all alone and the house and the officers are gone. What’s happening to him?
Westchester Cinema…
Scott grabs Jean’s hand and tells her they are leaving. Jean smiles and follows Scott, but wants to know where they are going. Scott happily explains that they are going back to the mansion, and that Jean can have her wish: he’s going to be more spontaneous. Jean wants to know what they are going to do about their dinner. Scott doesn’t want to worry about that now, and promises they’ll pick something up on the way.
Outside the Nowhere Special bar…
Storm and Wolverine are confronted by Sabretooth. Wolverine notices that he didn’t die. Sabretooth smirks that Logan always has been the smart one. He confirms that he didn’t die. But, with an angry look on his face, he adds that it wasn’t for lack of trying on Logan’s part as he nearly took his head off! Luckily for Sabretooth, there were still a few threads hanging on, which were enough for him to survive long enough to heal. He admits that he went into some kind of coma for a while, but eventually his healing factor managed to do the job.
Wolverine snikts out his claws and warns Storm to get out of there, claiming that this is between him and Sabretooth. Storm jokes that this is her night off and will do whatever she can to make this nonsense go away faster. She doesn’t see the need for another six-hour brawl between Logan and Sabretooth when she can fry him and go get some milkshakes instead. Logan ignores her and attacks Sabretooth, but he kicks him down and jokes that Logan should have listened to his girlfriend. He decides to fight back, wanting to see if Logan can live long enough to learn that lesson.
Sabretooth attacks Wolverine, but he drops the guy down. Logan notices that Sabretooth managed to survive real nice, but wonders why he didn’t throw a party or retired or something. He could have even taken a little vacation. He doesn’t see the point why he came back trying to kill him. Storm tries to stop the battle, but can’t get a clear shot to use her powers. Sabretooth claims that he didn’t came to kill Logan, but he sure is now. He punches Logan off of him and snikts out his four claws. Logan remembers that Sabretooth had four claws, but he isn’t really impressed by them as he brought his own.
The two of them confront each other again, but Storm finally manages to get a clear spot and uses her powerful winds to create a path between the two. However, she drops Logan accidentally against a truck and he hurts his nose. He jokes that Storm really needs to stop helping.
Sabretooth quickly grabs Storm and uses her as his hostage. He wants Logan to remind him that she doesn’t have a healing factor. And he warns Storm, before she gets any ideas, that he realizes it’s completely within her abilities to fry him with a bolt of lightning before he kills her, but he realizes that’s a big risk to take. In fact, he thinks it’s a pretty safe bet that being struck by lightning would cause his wrist to twitch and he’ll kill her with his claws nonetheless. He suggests that both Storm and Wolverine take a moment to relax. He smiles and reminds Wolverine that he didn’t attack Logan, but he fought him. Sabretooth claims it’s like he said: he didn’t came here to fight, he came to talk.
Outside the Westchester General Hospital…
Kurt teleports himself and Colossus out of the hospital. He admits that certainly wasn’t the evening he had planned. He suggests that they walk back to the car before he gets the urge to stare at Dazzler more and they have to spend another hour locked in a closet together. Peter didn’t know that Kurt was planning to go back to the mansion, as the night is still young. He realizes they get so little downtime and suggests they grab a dinner together or something. Kurt hesitates to respond, but Peter lays his hand over Kurt’s shoulder and smiles that he won’t take “no” for an answer. It will even be his treat.
A restaurant in New York City…
Xavier admits to Lilandra that his research didn’t turn up much about her Shi’ar organization. But he does want to know what her interests are in his X-Men. Lilandra believes that mutants are the future, and the Shi’ar invest into the future. That’s how the group managed to last as long as it has. Xavier apologizes for bringing it up, but he recalls that Lilandra offered a lot of money to him so he could continue his work. He doesn’t accept her earlier explanation. Lilandra tells Charles that, if he wants to continue this charade that he never read someone’s mind without permission, she’ll oblige him. But, she reminds the Professor, just so that he’s aware, with her realizing that Xavier probably already knows everything about this conversation is annoying to her.
Lilandra reveals that the Shi’ar believe in equality, balance in all things and everyone’s right to exist. And Xavier’s cause is very important to her group and in line with their beliefs. She believes they could perform a lot of good things together. Xavier, with a serious look on his face, gets the point. Lilandra smiles to Charles that, if he isn’t careful, it’ll make her think he doesn’t want her money. Xavier assures her that’s not the cause, but he admits to her that he has had problems with investors before in the past. Lilandra is aware of all the problems the X-Men had with Sebastian Shaw and the Hellfire Club. She completely understands his hesitation and isn’t offended in the least. However, she’s also very aware of Xavier’s current need of the Shi’ar’s support and, as a gesture of good will, they have already started to build a new X-Wing plane for the X-Men to use on missions, as she learned that the original was recently destroyed.
Xavier wants to know how Lilandra could possibly know about that. Lilandra reveals that the Shi’ar have members in every organization in the world, including SHIELD. She asks Charles where he thinks her group got the schematics from to begin the construction of the X-Wing. Charles smiles that he believes Nick Fury would be very displeased when he hears about this. Lilandra is aware that Fury and Charles have had a bit of a falling out, so she doubts he’s going to tell him.
Xavier’s, Iceman’s room…
Bobby and Rogue are kissing each other, ready to make love. Bobby stops, wanting a confirmation from her that her leeching powers won’t kick in into the middle of this. Rogue denies that, confirming that she now fully absorbed Gambit’s powers and that those are the only ones she has at the moment. Bobby thinks that’s cool and they start kissing again. Suddenly, they hear the doors closing below them. Rogue tells Bobby to relax, joking that Magneto wouldn’t sneak back into the mansion and quietly close the door. She believes it’s probably Kitty trying to sneak Spider-Man into her room. They start kissing again.
Below them, Jean and Scott have come back home. Jean hugs Scott, wondering if he thinks anyone heard them coming back in. Scott doesn’t care, but he admits that this is hard for him. He knows that Jean doesn’t want him to be all repressed, and instead wants him to take charge and not timid. He promises to try to be that way, but he tells Jean she isn’t making this easy for him. Jean smiles that she understands, and jokes that she’s putty in his hands. Scott playfully tells her to shut up and to kiss him. Jean does, and telepathically tells him that she hopes this new him will stick around, as she could get used to it.
Westchester, New York, General Hospital parking lot…
Peter went to pick up some hamburgers and Kurt his share. Unsure what to say, Kurt thinks they would better go back to the mansion. Peter thinks Kurt is kidding, because it’s a beautiful night and really peaceful, too. Hesitant, Kurt claims he’s got some reading left to do. A bit angry, Peter admits that he doesn’t like Kurt. He doesn’t understand. Peter thinks Kurt doesn’t want to hang around with him because he thinks he’s in love with him. Peter can promise him that isn’t the case. Kurt doesn’t know what to say, but Peter is fine with it and tells Kurt he doesn’t need to lie to him.
Peter asks Kurt if he never met a girl he didn’t immediately get a crush on. He claims that it’s the same thing with him: he doesn’t like every man he meets. He admits that Kurt’s fur is cute, but he isn’t his type, so Peter promises to keep his hands to himself and just wants to go back to the way things were before Kurt found out about him being gay. Kurt just doesn’t know. Peter admits that he’s the same friend Kurt always knew. Kurt isn’t so sure he ever knew his friend that well.
Nowhere Special…
Wolverine agrees to let Sabretooth talk, but he wants to go over it fast. He also threatens that, if Sabretooth hurts Storm, he’ll kill him for good this time and has him suffer as well. Sabretooth continues to explain what he was trying to do before Logan attacked him, his healing factor shut down his body for repairs and he was in some sort of coma for a while. When he awoke, things were different. Things didn’t make sense anymore. Sabretooth admits that, when he and Wolverine were members of Weapon X together, he always hated him. He hated a lot of things but none like he hated Logan. For some odd reason, he had a specific, intense hatred of Wolverine but never knew why. He never cared much, either.
Logan continues to hold himself ready for a battle, but doesn’t say anything. Sabretooth sarcastically smiles that he thinks he now finally has the answer. Lately, he’s started to remember things.
New York City…
Lilandra reveals that, in fact, her group is far more than an organized religion. They have a network of private hospitals all over the world. They have highly advanced compounds in five locations everywhere. They have members in every corner of the world. Their contacts in Hollywood alone would make a housewife in the Midwest drool herself to death. Aside from monetary support, she offers near limitless ways so the X-Men can use her resources to improve their work. Xavier promises he’ll certainly take this offer into consideration, but he won’t allow his X-Men to be used as Lilandra’s personal errand boys.
He admits that his work requires outside funding, but he refuses to be bought. Lilandra promises that their agenda is nowhere that sinister. Although, there is one thing she will require from the Professor. Xavier wants to know what that is. Lilandra promises it won’t be anything bad.
Westchester…
Colossus and Kurt don’t look at each other, nor speak. They just stare into nothingness, unsure what to do.
Xavier’s…
Rogue runs into the kitchen and bumps into Scott. She admits she didn’t know he and Jean had come back. Hesitant and without his shirt on, Scott claims that they just got home. He notices a cap on Rogue’s head and asks if that isn’t Bobby’s cap.
Somewhere in the city…
Kitty and Spider-Man are standing in a warehouse together, and share a passionate kiss.
Nowhere Special…
Storm panics, as Sabretooth still uses her as his hostage.
At an unknown location…
The mysterious boy doesn’t think it’s possible that he killed his parents. He couldn’t have. Suddenly, Nick Fury and his SHIELD agents enter, and Nick holds his gun aimed at the boy. He reveals to the boy that he’s a mutant and will come with him.
Nowhere Special…
Wolverine angrily wants to know what it is Sabretooth remembers. Sabretooth reveals that his memories were faked, just like Logan’s. He remembered being at Weapon X before Logan arrived, but Logan truly was the first. Even the files Sabretooth read about Logan were faked. He explains that they call him the poor man’s Wolverine. People mock him because of who he is. Even Logan told him as much before. He asks Logan if he never wondered why they are so similar. They’ve both got healing factors and survived the Adamantium integration.
Sabretooth sheathes his claws back in and releases Storm from his holding grip. He reveals that he was brought into Weapon X to replace Logan when he escaped the first time. He remembers that now. Those agents came after him so he could replace Logan. They were confident the same experiments that worked on Logan would work on him as well. He asks Logan if he knows why. Sabretooth claims that he is Wolverine’s… son!
Holding his claws ready for action, Logan responds that won’t be the case for much longer.
New York City…
Lilandra explains that, of course, she doesn’t expect any kind of decision tonight. She wants Xavier to think this over and discuss it with whomever he wants and later on contact her again so they can move on. But she’s confident Xavier will accept her kind offer.
She notices a waiter and asks him for another glass of water. Xavier recalls that they’ve discussed Lilandra’s proposal for over an hour at this point and, he adds, while she is a religious organization he recalls her saying nothing about her actual religious beliefs. In fact, to him, she sounds more like a secret society than an organized government-recognized religion. Lilandra defends that is the fine line every religion walks. She doesn’t want to bore the Professor with the details and origins of the Church of the Shi’ar Enlightenment. On top of that, it would take much longer than one dinner to fully explain it all.
However, she does reveal that they are a monotheistic religion, based on ancient texts dating back to the birth of this planet. They are the only religion that has no afterlife. She also reveals that they worship a god called… the Phoenix! Xavier panics. With the look on Xavier’s face, Lilandra takes it that he has heard the name before.

Date Night: part 3
A restaurant in New York City…
Professor Xavier has used his powers on Lilandra, making it impossible for her now to move. Immediately, Lilandra panics and wants to know what Xavier has done to her. Xavier replies that Lilandra should know that he is looping the last ten minutes from their conversation into the peripheral vision of their fellow diners. He explains to Lilandra that she could scream at the top of her lungs and still nobody would hear her. The staff of the restaurant will only see their glasses full and their conversation involved, and won’t be stopping at this table anymore unless Xavier allows them to.
Lilandra doesn’t understand why Charles is doing this and wants to know the reason. With a serious tone in his voice, Xavier explains that’s because Lilandra told him she worships a god called the Phoenix. He heard that name before, out of the mouths of people who tried to hurt him and his students. Xavier demands to know right now what Lilandra’s connection towards the Hellfire Club is.
Upstate New York…
The mysterious boy panics, and wants to know what Fury is doing there. Fury jokes that, honestly, he believes he is wasting his time. But, he was in the neighborhood when the call came in, and mentions to the boy that he is causing a disturbance. Right now, the boy is a danger to himself and those around him. Fury tells the boy, Elliot Boggs, that he can come with him either quietly or unconscious. Elliot begs for help. He explains that he woke up this morning and found his parents’ dead bodies, and then the police came to arrest him and everything went away! He doesn’t know what’s happening to him. Fury believes that it seems Elliot is a mutant and developed his powers overnight. However, he knows that becoming a mutant happens to the very best of the world, and that there’s nothing you can do about it.
Elliot is surprised to find out he’s a mutant. Fury verifies that he is, and furthermore, Elliot is a mutant with powers gone out of control. He asks Elliot if he’s going to come with them or not. Elliot kicks Fury in the face, angrily shouting that he won’t come with him because he knows what the government really does to mutants. Fury orders his troops to take Boggs down, but wants him in alive. Elliot defends that he has seen the Sentinel footage and knows the truth. One of the SHIELD troopers gets a lock on Boggs and wants to take the shot. But on that very moment, a snake crawls around the troopers’ necks!
Boggs doesn’t know how that could happen. He doesn’t know how he’s doing all of these things. He angrily shouts that everyone has to leave him alone, and causes an explosion! Elliot begs for someone to make it stop. Fury orders his troops to get a tranquilizer into Boggs before he gets kittens over there! He wants the troops to start shooting at Boggs, or else Fury will shoot at the troops!
A restaurant in New York City…
Lilandra has taken the Professor to a weird reality and shows him some images about the Phoenix god. Charles wants to know where Lilandra has brought him and what he is seeing. However, Lilandra isn’t sure, though she believes that this is the visualization of the before times – how it all started! When Xavier doesn’t understand,  Lilandra reveals that she is talking about the origin of the Shi’Ar! She explains that what they are seeing there is the great Phoenix force in its prime… in the before times. Before it was hunted, persecuted and imprisoned. It was free to roam the galaxy and simply exist. Xavier mentions that he and the X-Men were told the Phoenix was a devourer, and that it had the power to demolish worlds.
Lilandra claims otherwise. She explains that the Phoenix has the power to reform, rebuild and recreate worlds. She claims that the only people who consider rebuilding and recreating as demolish are those who fear change. When Xavier wants to know who those people are, Lilandra says she is talking about the Hellfire Club. She reveals that they are an offshoot of the Church from centuries ago, who twisted the Shi’Ar’s prophecies and doctrines to their own agendas, changing the interpretation to mean what they wanted it to mean.
Xavier believes that means Lilandra isn’t affiliated to the club, and she happily confirms that. Lilandra adds that the Shi’Ar religion is based on peace and self-improvement. They believe that the Phoenix will about a utopia for everyone to live in it, and not that it is a force that will remake the world into the image of the Hellfire Club. Besides, there isn’t much of a Hellfire Club left after the X-Men dealt with them. Charles asks Lilandra if he is to trust her on her word that she is in no way connected to the Hellfire Club. Lilandra smiles that the Professor is the most powerful telepath in the world, and shouldn’t even need to ask her if she’s telling the truth or not.
Charles claims that, as a rule, he does never pry into the mind of another without permission. Lilandra further explains that she herself and her organization would very much like to do some business with the Professor. Her group wouldn’t even dream of starting a relationship short of a firmly established foundation of trust. She is an open book to Charles. The Professor wants to know everything Lilandra has come to learn about the Phoenix.
Lilandra reveals that, in the before time, the Phoenix was a great and beautiful entity freely roaming across the cosmos, changing worlds at a whim. All those changes were improvements, and it is said that the Phoenix may well have been the spark that brought life to the universe. Unfortunately, the Phoenix’ greatest creation became her undoing. The life she created sought out to control her. These people wanted to destroy their own destiny. They amassed a great army, bringing together a hundred civilizations. The war with the Phoenix lasted a thousand years and cost the armies many lives. But, in the end, the Phoenix was defeated.
The Phoenix couldn’t be killed, no matter how hard the armies tried to. Their only solution was to imprison the Phoenix, but ordinary means proved ineffective against such a volatile and powerful being. So, they constructed a special prison around the Phoenix, which was a cage that would be powerful enough to contain this mighty prisoner. This prison remains to this day unchanged, housing her as its center. And this prison, people eventually began calling… Earth!
Xavier’s…
After a time of lovemaking, Scott asks Jean what she thinks of the new, improved him. Now, Scott is assertive, demanding and decisive. He wants to know if this is all she hoped for. Jean smiles that Scott is getting exactly to the point where she wants him, and wants to find out if this change of character is going to last past tonight, and she promises he’ll give him an evaluation in about a month or so.
Elsewhere, while putting his pants back on, Bobby asks Rogue, who’s sitting naked in his bed, what they are going to do now. Rogue smiles, guessing that she’s going to sneak back to her room in the hope not to be spotted. She jokes that she might try and practice her card throwing, although she’s already pretty good at it. She mentions that Bobby would be surprised how much she picked up from Gambit after just absorbing his powers, as she can already do most of the stuff he could do. She’s even acrobatic now. Bobby wasn’t talking about that. He wants to know what’s going on between the two of them now. Rogue smiles, guessing they’re an item again now. Bobby just smiles at her. Rogue jokes that Bobby is such a loser.
Nowhere Special…
Wolverine, holding his claws ready, thinks that Sabretooth has finally lost his mind. Sabretooth believes that his dad hasn’t been paying any attention. He claims that his mind is as clear as ever, and new memories are coming back to him by the day. He even claims that Logan wouldn’t even believe some of the things he could tell him. Sabretooth asks if Logan isn’t at least a little bit curious who his mother is. Logan asks Sabretooth if he’s going to chew his ear off now all day, and tell him how he beat Sabretooth back when he was little. Because, Logan adds, he isn’t believing any word Sabretooth is saying!
Sabretooth doesn’t even care if Logan believes him or not. He said what needed to be said and now he’s ready to move on. The time for talking is over. Sabretooth snikts his eight claws open, and he and Wolverine begin their fight. Quickly, Sabretooth manages to slice a big chunk of flesh out of Wolverine’s stomach! Seeing this, Storm has had enough of it, and fires a lightning bolt against Sabretooth’s torso. A surprised Logan falls back, and a wounded Sabretooth runs away.
Storm tends to Logan, thinking that bolt she fired knocked the fight out of Sabretooth. He asks Logan if he’s okay, and if he’s hurt in a way. Logan admits that he is a little. He is man enough to admit that, but mentions that he has been missing bigger chunks than before. He’ll survive. He suggests that they start heading back to the mansion.
New York City…
Charles is surprised to find out that the Earth is a prison formed around the Phoenix entity. Lilandra confirms that. The Earth itself is a prison. And the Phoenix resides at the molten hot core, or rather, the Phoenix is the molten hot core. She reveals that, overtime, unbeknownst to the forces that created the Earth, life began to form and evolve on the surface. In fact, this was long before the civilizations responsible for the Phoenix’ imprisonment had become extinct. The Phoenix began to detect life on Earth, and it began to help it along, aiding in the development of intelligent life on this planet. Lilandra’s Church believes that the leaps and bounds humans experienced in evolution that scientists cannot explain are because of the Phoenix’ involvement, as is the next phase in human evolution… the mutant.
The founders of the Shi’Ar religion claimed to be able to speak directly to the Phoenix, though this art has been lost throughout the years. The founders were told the story of the Phoenix, and based a philosophy of rebirth and self-improvement of her teachings. And this became the Shi’Ar religion. The Phoenix also told of a philosophy. Or told a story that would later become a prophecy. She told of a mortal that would house the entity, and eventually allow the Phoenix to be reborn throughout this mortal. This would free the Phoenix to roam the universe once again.
Which brings Lilandra to the Professor, and the deal she has for him. She offers him complete support, financially and otherwise, in return for one thing. He must allow the Shi’Ar to examine Jean Grey. The Shi’Ar believe she is the prophesied to bring about the rebirth of the Phoenix. The process of confirming this is in no way harmful or painful and could even be done on the grounds of the school, if that makes the Professor feel more comfortable with the situation.
The Professor isn’t sure about it. He senses that everything Lilandra has just told him, she believes that it’s all true. Also, he admits that her aid in his work will be obviously most welcome. But, he cannot commit just yet. He will have to discuss this with Jean first and she must be willing to do this or else the deal is off. Lilandra smiles that she wouldn’t have it any other way. Charles is glad to hear that. Lilandra is glad to hear that, and asks Charles if he can release her arms now, as she would like to finish her meal.
Later, back at Xavier’s…
Kitty comes back home again and tips her cab driver. She meets up with Peter, who’s sitting alone outside. He’s surprised that she’s home already. Kitty mentions that Spider-Man had some homework left to do and she didn’t feel like waiting for the Professor to pick her up. So, she took a cab, which she now realizes has been way too much money and won’t allow her to buy some of the CD’s she wanted. She wants to know why Peter is sitting outside though, and wonders if anything is wrong. Peter claims that he isn’t in the mood for talking right now, and that alone is exactly what he wants to be right now. That’s fine by Kitty, and she phases through the door back inside the mansion.
Once inside, she meets up with Fury and his soldiers, who have Boggs tied up and asks if she can help them. Fury wants to know when Xavier is going to return, because he doesn’t have a whole lot of time, and jokes that, if Kitty can use her powers to suddenly transport him into the mansion, that would be fine as well. Kitty jokes she can’t do that, and goes to her room. Suddenly, Xavier arrives, and asks Fury what he wants. Fury mentions that he’s got a fresh one for him. Charles wants to hear that Fury isn’t restraining that young mutant so that he could bring him here unwillingly.
Fury smiles that he certainly isn’t doing that. He introduces the Professor to Elliot Boggs, and mentions that, from all indications he has just become an active, out of control mutant. He’s got some kind of reality-altering powers, but SHIELD couldn’t really figure that one out. The kid has already done a fair bit of damage and, unchecked, SHIELD thinks that Boggs is a danger to himself and those around him. He thinks that Charles is the one who can help him. SHIELD also believes that Boggs has killed his parents.
Charles doesn’t want to remind Fury again that the school isn’t no longer affiliated to with SHIELD. Fury defends that this boy is dangerous. He can’t do anything with him other than locking him in a room for the rest of his life and drugging him out of his mind. He doesn’t believe that this is what the Professor wants. Charles confirms that. Fury mentions that that’s good, and he and his soldiers leave. He mentions to Charles that he knows how to reach him if he needs anything. Fury also promises that he’ll send someone over in the next few days to retrieve SHIELD’s restraints, which are now around Boggs once Charles is through with him. And he asks Charles not to break the restraints, as they are very expensive.
As they walk outside, Fury gets held up by Wolverine. Logan wants to know why Fury treats this mutant differently, and doesn’t just have him killed. Fury smiles that he doesn’t have any idea what Logan is talking about, and takes off. Storm wants to know what that was all about, but Logan claims that she doesn’t want to know. They walk back into the mansion, and Logan asks Charles what’s going on. Charles introduces Logan and Storm to their new arrival, and asks Logan to help him bring Boggs to the infirmary. Charles notices Logan’s wounds and asks if he had a rough night. Logan claims that nothing happened he can’t handle. Charles smiles, and says that’s not what he asked.
Elsewhere, hours later…
Sabretooth enters a secret base, carrying something with him, and calls out to Dr. Cornelius. Cornelius reveals himself, and congratulates Sabretooth on a job well done. The doctor mentions that he was told Sabretooth didn’t even need the operatives with him. Cornelius wishes he could have been there, even knowing any chunk he ripped out of Logan could grow back, it would have been nice for him to see how the mutant did it. Cornelius also mentions that he’s still a little peeved over the last confrontation he had with Wolverine, like the helicopter crash for example. He would really like to see Wolverine suffer for a change.
He wants to know what Sabretooth told Logan in order to have Logan distracted long enough in order for him to get so close, as the operatives couldn’t hear a word because of the bad weather. Sabretooth simply mentions he just something, but that it wasn’t important.
He gives a blood sample from Logan to Cornelius and asks if it’s big enough. Cornelius takes a look at it, and notices that the sample is a little crispy around the edges, but does believe that these samples will work. He shows them to another scientist. Cornelius triumphs, and laughs that, if they can’t have Wolverine do the things they want him to do, they’ll make their very own!

Phoenix?: part 1
The Academy of Tomorrow…
Pretending to sleep at his bedroom at the Academy of Tomorrow, Angel shares a telepathic conversation with Professor X. Warren jokes that it was a piece of cake getting accepted in the school, as being an “Xavier reject” apparently helps a lot. Xavier takes it that Warren is mingling well with the other students, and wants to know how things are with his other classmates. Warren claims that things are just fine, and that he’s also going to the Homecoming dance tonight, though not with a date. He asks the Professor how things are with Ali. Unfortunately, there is no progress yet, but he doesn’t give up hope yet as there is still a chance she might wake up from her coma someday.
The Professor asks Warren if the dance is the same one Colossus is going to attend. Warren admits that, and that he’ll be Northstar’s date. He asks the Professor if Peter already left the school yesterday since it’s a long drive from Westchester. The Professor confirms that Peter left a couple of hours ago with the plane. Warren thinks it’s hardly fair that Peter gets a plane ticket while he has to take the bus. The Professor reminds Warren that he’s still undercover there, and that wouldn’t be the case if he had been flown there. Besides, Warren could have used his money to buy a ticket if he wanted. Warren defends that he tries not to use his father’s money these days.
Warren’s roommate wakes him up, asking if he’s ready to go to the grocery store with him, like he promised to do. Warren apologizes to the Professor, but he has to go. Xavier agrees and they stop talking.
Xavier’s…
While sitting in the med-room below the school with Jean and Elliot, Jean asks the Professor what’s wrong with him today, as he seems so pre-occupied all the time. The Professor apologizes for it, as it would seem he was lost in thought. He wants to start now. He admits he doesn’t like to sedate the poor boy more than Fury and his men already have, but he has no choice. He also wonders what Fury gave the lad, since he has been out of it for twelve hours. Jean is ready to go whenever the Professor is. They enter Elliot’s mind together.
Elliot sits at his home, eating dinner with… his parents? He notices the Professor and Jean, and asks why he is doing this since he thought he had killed them both. Glenda, his mom, tells her son not to talk this way, but his father claims that he can because he is a grown man now. The Professor is afraid that Elliot’s parents really did die accidentally, when Elliot’s mutant powers manifested themselves. Elliot’s father mentions to his mom that he already thought that they were dead, so it’s time for them to get out of here. Elliot remembers that Nick Fury also told him that he was a mutant. He recognized Fury from the time he saw him on TV. He also recognizes the Professor.
The Professor introduces both himself and Jean to Elliot. He explains to the boy that he has been turned over to his custody after being arrested by SHIELD. He also mentions to Elliot that he caused a disturbance when his powers manifested. Elliot can hardly believe that everything that happened with his powers and parents was real. Jean apologizes for it, but it really did happen. The Professor believes that, with that said, now is not the time for self-pity or mourning as they have a bit of a situation at the moment. He states that, sadly enough, events like these are not uncommon, as the first few days after the X-gene appears within someone’s body tend to be very dangerous.
Elliot agrees with that. He notices that the landscape has suddenly changed, and that they are now standing on a beautiful mountain. He wants to know where they are and what happened to his house. Jean explains that, right now, they are in Elliot’s mind and that none of this is real and are seeing places from his memory. Elliot agrees with that, as he remembers this place from a vacation he went to with his parents, as it was very cool. The Professor begs Elliot to pay attention to what he says. He has been remanded in his custody because he was deemed out of control. Until the Professor has determined that he isn’t a danger anymore and won’t destroy his school when he wakes up, he’ll have to keep Elliot sedated.
Elliot believes that, like he recalls, he was able to stop using his powers at one point last night. He doesn’t know how to use his powers but he does think he knows the way how not to use them, at least. Jean asks Elliot if he really won’t do any damage when they allow him to wake up. Elliot realizes that he was scared when he first discovered his powers, not knowing how and why these bad things happened. Now that he knows that he’s a mutant, he thinks he’ll be able to control himself and his powers. The Professor happily smiles, promising Elliot that he can help him control his powers for as long as he wants. He thinks they can end this and allow the boy to wake up. Elliot agrees, and thanks the Professor for it.
Not too much longer, Elliot wakes up. He jokes that sure was fast. Jean corrects that it actually took them twenty minutes to revive him. The Professor gives his word to Elliot that he’ll keep an eye on him and help him control his powers. He asks Elliot how he feels. As Elliot wants to answer the question, Cyclops enters the room and asks the Professor why he wanted to see him. The Professor introduces Scott to Elliot and mentions that he’ll stay at the school, and wants Scott to show him around. Elliot and Scott shake hands. Elliot claims that he has seen Scott on the news and is very glad to meet him. The Professor thanks Scott for his help and asks him to leave, as he has something to discuss with Jean. Scott and Elliot leave, and Scott telepathically asks Jean if he can see her later. Jean telepathically answers back, joking that there isn’t anything that can keep her away from him.
Jean wants to know what the Professor wants to discuss. He reveals that there is an organization that wants to fund the X-Men, since the money they acquired from the Hellfire Club is all but gone, and isn’t enough for them to operate, especially not since they turned down the government’s help. The organization seems to be good people, as he was allowed to scan their leader’s mind and no deception seems to be involved. The only catch is that they want to determine if Jean really is the Phoenix. Jean panics and wants to know if this is about the Hellfire Club again. The Professor denies that, although there is a connection. He asks her if she ever heard about the Church of the Shi’Ar Enlightenment.
Meanwhile, Rogue meets up with a dining Wolverine. She hands the phone over to him, as someone named Nathan Fitzgerald wants to talk to him, and claims that Logan will remember who he is. Logan thanks Rogue for it. Once she’s gone, he asks Fury what he wants. Fury jokes that Logan is a hard man to get a hold of. Logan jokes that his cell is off, and wants to know what Nick wants. Fury reveals to Logan that he has an office in Harlem, and that he should be able to follow his scent to reach the place. He wants Logan to meet him there within the hour, as it’ll be important.
Logan wants to know why Fury didn’t talk to him last night, when he was at the school. Fury claims he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Logan notices that they are playing that game again. He wants to know if he’s got a choice in coming or not. Fury claims that he can make Logan regret it if he won’t come. Logan promises he’ll be there in two hours.
Rogue meets up with Logan again. Logan tightly grabs her arm, and mentions to her that they didn’t have a chance to talk since she came back. Logan admits that he wasn’t exactly thrilled when Rogue took of with Gambit, but he is sorry about what happened to her. He just wants to know if she’s okay. Rogue admits that it all felt weird at first, but that she’s now used to the her new powers. Logan feels sorry he couldn’t be there for her. He wants to know if Bobby is helping her get over it all. Rogue smiles, joking that she doesn’t want to talk to Logan about that. That’s fine by Logan, as he’s got a busy day up ahead anyway.
During the tour, Scott notices that they have to give Elliot some new clothes, as he’s walking around without a sweater. Elliot smiles, as he can’t wait to get into his new uniform. He wants to know if it has already been designed since he wanted to make a few suggestions. Scott smiles that it’s all a little early for a uniform just yet, as they don’t even know for sure yet if he’ll be able to use his powers effectively. He was thinking something in the line of a jeans and a T-shirt. He notices that Elliot is about his size and suggests they go and try to find something in his room. A disappointed Elliot asks Scott who designs the X-Men uniforms anyway. Scott can’t answer that question. They enter his room, and Scott tells him to just grab something, and that in a couple of days they should be able to send him into town to buy clothes of his own. Elliot agrees.
Jean doesn’t want to be treated like a lab rat, and doesn’t know what the Professor was thinking. The Professor reminds Jean not to take that tone with him, and reminds her that he hasn’t made a decision yet and wanted to talk about it with her first. That said, he would recommend that she just take the offer, as Lilandra assured her that she wouldn’t be harmed. The Professor doesn’t believe that her religious theories about the Phoenix are true, but one can’t ignore the coincidences between Lilandra’s story and what Jean is experiencing. He thinks that this may be the best way to find out what’s going on with her, or at the very least come one step closer to it. He promises Jean she won’t get hurt.
Jean asks the Professor if he’s certain about that, but he can’t say that for sure. Jean admits that she trusts the Professor and, if he promises that he’ll be there and if he trusts this woman, then she’ll do it. The Professor thanks Jean, but still wants her to call him “Professor” and not “Charles.” Jean agrees, but wants to know how it’s possible that he is on a first name base with this woman, since he called her “Lilandra.”
At the Danger Room, Storm watches over a training exercise between Iceman and Rogue. She compliments them on working together, and Rogue throws some charged up cards against simulative Sentinel robots. Bobby notices that Rogue is wearing a new leather jacket and wants to know what brought that on. She tells her “ami” that she just needed a place to keep the cards. Bobby notices that Rogue called him “ami,” which means “friend” in the French language, and hopes they are a little more than that. While they destroy another Sentinel, Rogue jokes they might be a little more. Bobby sure feels complimented.
Storm warns the two not to flirt all the time and stay focused. Behind her, another Sentinel almost hits her! Rogue orders Bobby to create a big block of ice. He does so, and she throws it against the Sentinel, causing it to explode. Storm shuts down the program. She admits that this isn’t the solution she had in mind when she wrote this program, but it still works and thanks the two for running through it with her. Rogue mentions it’s fine. Storm also notices that it would appear things with more mass make bigger explosions, and she finds that interesting. She wants to know why Rogue decides to use cards while fighting though. Rogue smiles, and admits she doesn’t really know for sure. Maybe because they are easy to carry around, or maybe because they give her something to do when she gets bored.
They walk out of the Danger Room. Scott notices them, and introduces Elliot to the people who might be his teammates one day. He promises he’ll introduce Elliot to the others later, but can’t introduce him to Colossus yet, as he’s in Chicago on a date. Elliot wants to know if he’s really on the team already. Scott promises that might be the case after a few months of the required training. He wants to know why Elliot is so excited about being an X-Man anyway. Elliot explains that’s because his parents are dead, meaning that his life is over. He’s a mutant, meaning that the rest of the world will hate and fear him. The old rules are gone, and everything he thought he would do in the future no longer applies. But, he has seen the X-Men on the news, and it would just seem cool to be a part of them. Or, at least, distract him.
Scott can understand that and leads Elliot in the hangar. He notices that a new X-Wing plane has been installed, and certainly wasn’t expecting that. Nearby, the Professor and Jean are meeting up with Lilandra and her assistant. Lilandra mentions that she brought the new X-Wing, just like she promised to do. She mentions to the Professor that he can have his technicians look over it, but she can assure him that there are no differences compared to the last model. She would also like the Professor to meet her assistant, Gerald. The Professor introduces to Jean, who feels a bit uncomfortable. Lilandra shakes hands with her, and wants to get started. The Professor agrees and wants to lead Lilandra to the room.
Cyclops tells the Professor that he didn’t know they were expecting a new X-Wing, and wants to know when that happened. The Professor apologizes, but promises to explain it all later. Elliot smiles that the plane looks smaller on TV. Scott remembers that’s what Warren said about the plane as well. Elliot wants to learn how to fly it though, as he doesn’t think he can use his own powers to fly. At least, not in a way he knows of. Scott reminds Elliot that was what he was talking about.
Elliot doesn’t know anything about his powers, so how can he possibly be ready for an actual combat scene. Elliot explains that he can feel his powers in his body, just below the surface. He can feel them where they are and thinks he can control them. Scott wants the Professor to be the judge of that and for now wants Elliot to keep them in check.
Elliot reminds Scott that he held his own when Fury’s soldiers attacked him. He promises that he can hold his own in a battle. Scott mentions that like as many X-Men as they have running around this place these days, something really bad would have to happen to them if they let Elliot fight villains before he’s ready. Elliot understands.
Later that night, at the Academy of Tomorrow…
The Homecoming dance is at full start. Lorna, Alex and Roberto joke about the happy couple of Jean-Paul and Peter arriving. Jean-Paul jokes that this is just their first date and aren’t a couple yet. Lorna doesn’t think that counts when you talk over the phone as much as Peter and Jean-Paul have. Peter smiles and notices that Northstar isn’t one to keep things quiet. Jean-Paul thought that Peter liked that. Peter notices that Jean-Paul is free with his speech, but perhaps a little too freely as well. Lorna mentions to Peter that they are all really glad he could make it, and mentions that Warren should meet up with them in a few moments. Peter would be glad to see Warren again, as he missed him at the school.
On that very moment, an explosion takes place. A giant hole is created in the wall, and none other than the Brotherhood of Mutants step through it! Toad happily jokes that the Brotherhood has come to crash the party. Peter transforms into Colossus, ready for a fight. He starts fighting the Blob, but his incredible fat bounces the X-Man away, causing him to fall against a wall. Havok powers up and warns everyone not to give the evil mutants a chance to defeat them. However, the Toad grabs Alex tight with his tongue and lifts him high up the ceiling.
Lorna panics, and orders Cannonball to get Alex away from Toad. She also tells Roberto to power up and take down the Blob, if he can. The two students do as told. Jean-Paul meets up with Peter, and checks if he’s alright. Peter admits he is and takes out his cell, ready to contact the other X-Men for help. Cyclops receives the call, and promises they’ll be there right away in their new plane. Elliot wants to know what’s going on. Scott smiles, telling Elliot that he may just get his wish. An impressed Elliot thinks that’s great, and powers up.

Phoenix?: part 2
Dazzler’s hospital room…
Nightcrawler sits alone with Dazzler in her hospital room. He wonders aloud if Ali can hear him. He doesn’t know that for sure, because people say that not much is known about comas. So, he believes it’s at least possible that Alison hears him. But, he almost hopes she cannot.
Kurt admits that he enjoys the talks he now has with Ali immensely. They are special to him. He doesn’t know if it would be the same if Ali could hear him. He doesn’t like to wonder what she would think of him if she would be listening. Kurt admits that, ever since the fight with Deathstrike, which put Alison in the hospital in the first place, he feels alone. Kurt also has doubts about his friend Colossus. He can’t even acknowledge what Peter is. He can’t acknowledge the secret Peter kept from him.
Kurt sees Peter as a deceiver and an abomination. Colossus is dead to him now. Kurt can’t bring himself to forgive Peter for what he has done. And Warren isn’t even around for their beloved Danger Room games. Kurt misses Warren deeply. He feels truly alone now. All he has now… is Alison.
Xavier’s, the hangar…
An impatient Cyclops wonders where everyone is. They really need to be gone now. Elliot promises Scott that he can help him, and that he is ready for it. Scott doesn’t think so, because this mission is too dangerous for Elliot, and tells him to stop whining. Storm, Rogue and Iceman finally arrive and Scott wants to know where they have been, as they’ve got a dangerous situation. Storm tells Scott to calm down, explaining that they are living in a big house and they came down here as fast as they could.
Scott sees that only three other X-Men besides him are present, and wants to know where the others are. Storm smiles that they are everyone present. Bobby explains that Colossus is already at the crime scene. Wolverine and Nightcrawler are missing in action. Kitty is off somewhere with Spider-Man. Jean is just being interviewed by Lilandra, and the Professor said that Jean is not to be interrupted.
Scott finds it surprising that the Professor said that. Elliot defends that the team needs him because they are shorthanded. He believes that, if Colossus is already at the Academy, he could be knocked out by the time they got there. Colossus can’t be counted upon, and Elliot believes it doesn’t matter that he’s new to the X-Men. They need him. He promises Scott that he can do this. Rogue and Storm smile to Elliot, and want to know who he is. Scott believes that they don’t have the time for this, and tells Elliot that he can come with them. They enter the X-Wing and quickly fly over to the Academy of Tomorrow!
Elsewhere in the mansion…
Lilandra asks an uncertain Jean if she’s comfortable. Jean angrily defends that she isn’t feeling comfortable being a lab rat, nor is she comfortable with the fact that Lilandra thinks she might be a reincarnated god. Lilandra explains that it’s very important to her that Jean isn’t inconvenienced. She begs Jean to work with them. The Professor explains to Jean that Lilandra promised him that none of this will cause Jean any pain. And since Jean agreed to cooperate, he doesn’t want her to back down now. She can trust him.
Jean smiles to the Professor that he knows she trusts him, and she jokes she’ll be a good girl. The Professor thanks Jean for that. He tells Lilandra he’ll leave her alone now, and wants her to alert him if his presence is needed. Lilandra promises she’ll do that. Jean just wants to get this over with.
Lilandra introduces Jean to her assistant, Gerald. Gerald draws some blood from Jean, so they can run some tests. When Jean wants to know why Lilandra needs her blood, Lilandra again explains that they are just going to run some tests on it because they are looking for specific properties. They are looking for certain indicators laid out in their ancient tomes. Jean angrily states that this is so lame. She wants to know what will happen if Lilandra and her people decide that she really is Phoenix.
Lilandra admits that if Jean really is the physical embodiment of the Phoenix, then at some point soon, before Jean’s twentieth birthday, the force will manifest itself in her. Jean’s consciousness will merge with that of the ancient Phoenix entity. Jean will remain herself, but she will also be something more. Next, the Phoenix will remake the universe into a glorious paradise and Jean will save the world.
At the same time, on their way to the Academy…
Bobby looks at Elliot, and jokes that he’s wearing a nice uniform, reflecting that Elliot is just wearing his street clothes. Bobby also wants to know what Elliot’s codename is… Dockers? Abercrombie? Elliot apologizes for not wearing a uniform. So, he uses his powers and quickly creates an X-Men uniform for himself! He asks if this is better. Rogue smiles it is, and compliments Elliot on his abs. Bobby finds that offensive and defends that he’s got abs as well. Storm smiles that Bobby doesn’t have abs like Elliot’s. Scott informs the team that they made it to the Academy. He wants to be cautious though because he never landed this particular X-Wing yet.
Once the jet is landed, the team steps out of it. Rogue takes a look at the rather big building, and jokes all they have to do now is find out where the dance is being held. On that very moment, Colossus gets smashed out of the school! Scott tends to Peter, checking if he’s okay. Peter, almost breathless, just needs a minute to regroup but warns the team that the Brotherhood are inside. Angel, Cannonball, Havok, Northstar, Polaris and Roberto angrily step out of the Academy. Havok can’t believe that the “Brotherhood” is already giving up, thinking they probably weren’t suspecting them to fight back. Alex sees the Brotherhood as a joke and doesn’t see how they ever went up against the X-Men.
Cannonball attacks Elliot, who just barely dodges the attack. When Elliot wonders who these guys are, Scott replies that he heard his brother mentioned the Brotherhood and believes that Mastermind must be behind this, causing his brother and his friends to see the X-Men as the enemy. Scott wants his team to try to take Alex and the others out without hurting them. Bobby thinks that’s a good plan and freezes Sam’s legs. He wonders if the Academy kids will return the favor of not hurting them. Sam warns the others that “Toad” has somehow bound his legs in some kind of mucus and wonders how the evil mutant could have done that. Bobby finds it hardly fair that he has to be Toad.
Xavier’s…
Gerald has enough blood from Jean and takes off to run his tests. He promises he’ll notify Lilandra as soon as he’s got the test results. Lilandra thanks him for that. She wants to start asking Jean some questions now, and suggests they start with something easy. She asks Jean where she was born. Jean reveals that she was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Lilandra adds that Jean is currently nineteen years old, and wants to know where her parents are. Jean explains that when she started to hear voices and see things, her parents dumped her in a funny farm and never looked back. She doesn’t really want to talk about them. That’s fair enough by Lilandra.
She wants Jean to describe her parents, though. Jean is hesitant to do that. Lilandra mentions to Jean that it’s okay she takes her time. She understands that this can be difficult and hard for her. Jean angrily defends that Lilandra doesn’t know anything about the things she sees or the visions she has. Jean sees people she knows getting burned. She sees walls of fire reaching to the sky, and a giant flaming monster scorching the Earth. The things she sees are horrific and terrify her.
She finds it hard to believe that Lilandra believes the Phoenix is going to bring about a utopia. The Hellfire Club thought the Phoenix was going to end the world, and she believes that they were right. Lilandra tries to defend that the Hellfire Club had different interpretations about the Phoenix, but Jean doesn’t even let her finish that sentence. Jean states that she’s terrified of the thing inside her. The only thing that’s keeping her sane is to believe that the thing in her body is fake, and that it’s all in her head. She can tell Lilandra one thing, though. If she determines that she really is the Phoenix, the first thing Jean will do is jump off a bridge!
The Academy of Tomorrow…
Warren attacks Scott and takes him up to the sky. Scott apologizes in advance to Warren if he hurts him, and blasts the winged hero with his optic beams. They fall down and Scott cries out for help. Elliot quickly uses his powers to create a safety net, and safely catches both Scott and Warren on it. He smiles to Scott that he told him he would be useful. Scott thanks Elliot for the save, and suggests that they take his brother and his friends out of the way so they can deal with the real threat.
Bobby faces Roberto, and is amazed by the way their powers collide with each other. Scott quickly finishes the battle with his blast and warns Bobby to stop playing around. This isn’t a game, and they don’t even know why the Brotherhood is there. They’ve got to get Emma’s students out of the picture immediately. Rogue, Storm and Colossus have already taken care of that. Peter jokes that Scott’s brother wasn’t so tough, but Polaris was certainly no lightweight. Peter does hope that Jean-Paul will be understanding when he awakens, as Peter tried not to hurt him too bad.
The Brotherhood enters. Blob is ready to take the X-Men apart. He orders his team that they can do whatever they want, but he wants to take on Iceman. Iceman has heard enough, and warns the team hat the battle is on!
Xavier’s…
Lilandra tries to calm Jean down, promising that there’s no cause for alarm. Lilandra has more questions to ask, and wants to test Jean’s motor reflexes now. Jean disagrees with Lilandra. There is cause for alarm! She dreams about melting off her boyfriend’s face! Jean starts to cry and apologizes for her outburst. She just wants to finish the test, because she needs to get through this. Lilandra tries to cheer Jean up. She knows that this can be stressful for Jean. She can only tell Jean that if the results of these tests are positive, she’ll have the full resources of the Shi’Ar at her disposal. They can help her. The Shi’Ar wants to make this as easy for Jean as possible, and she doesn’t have to deal with this alone.
She wants to know of often Jean has these visions. Jean admits she doesn’t have them that often. At least, not too many times since the Hellfire Club incident. The voices too have slowed down, and things have been pretty quiet in her head. Lilandra suddenly asks Jean if she needs a towel. Jean wants to know why Lilandra asks that. Lilandra tells Jean to look at herself… she’s covered in sweat.
The Academy…
Cyclops faces Toad. He knows that Toad isn’t a totally bad person, and tells Toad that he could do so much better than this. Toad attacks Scott with his tongue, ignoring what he says. Scott quickly grabs Toad’s tongue and finds it a shame Toad wastes his life like this. Mastermind attacks Storm. He admits that it took him some time, but he knew he would be able to find something that would terrify her. He just never knew it would be something so… odd. He continues to watch Storm crawl away in horror, until Scott throws Toad against Mastermind’s back and the two are knocked out.
Meanwhile, Colossus is overwhelmed by Multiple Man’s dupes and can’t face them alone. Rogue comes to Peter’s rescue and takes some of the dupes out. The Blob smashes Iceman down, and smiles that this is way too easy. Elliot asks Blob why he doesn’t pick on someone more his size. He suddenly realizes Blob can’t do that because there isn’t anyone his size! Elliot guesses that the Blob will just have to deal with him. Blob isn’t impressed by the way Elliot picks on him, the fat guy. He promises Elliot that he’s so dead!
Elliot doesn’t feel threatened by Blob at all. He smiles that size really does matter. He asks Blob if he knows what’s really little. An atom is. Elliot asks Blob if he knows what happens when you split an atom in half. As Scott tends to Bobby, neither of them knows what Elliot is up to. Blob doesn’t care about an atom and just wants to fight. Elliot claims that Blob should care. Elliot quickly powers up, and a bright light emerges from him, causing the Blob to move a little! Scott and Bobby are both startled. The Blob recovers and promises Elliot that he’s going to die for this. Elliot tells the Blob to give him his best shot.
Xavier’s…
Lilandra asks Jean if she’s okay. Wracked with a headache, Jean angrily tells Lilandra that she’s asking too many questions. As her voice starts to sound malevolent, Jean says she doesn’t understand how Lilandra dares to question her. Lilandra starts to panic a bit. Jean suddenly starts to glow red, and the wind in the room rises up. Jean cries out that Lilandra doesn’t know what power she is meddling with. She shouts at Lilandra that she’s just a child attempting to witness the realm of the gods. The Phoenix is here, and Jean is her! Jean’s eyes start to glow with raw power, and she tells Lilandra that she can rejoice if she wishes too. Lilandra can rejoice as the Phoenix unmakes the world, and she’ll start with Lilandra!
Jean, surrounded by the fire of the Phoenix, glares at a panicking Lilandra…

Phoenix?: part 3
The Academy of Tomorrow…
A furious Blob shouts that, when he discovered his mutant power, he got all this fat, though it’s incredibly dense. It increased his mass to unimaginable levels, which means that if he’s stopped… he’s unmovable and unstoppable! And now, the Blob moves towards the X-Men, which means they’re screwed! He hardly punches his fist into the ground, creating a loud noise and a crack in the ground. The X-Men lose their balance, but Elliot remains standing. While Colossus continues to face the Multiple Man, Elliot faces the Blob alone. He uses his powers to create a hole in the ground, and the Blob falls into it!
On that moment, television reporters arrive. Rogue wonders who alerted these guys. She mocks that she can already see the spin now: “mutant picnic puts reporters in danger!” Elliot uses his powers to close the hole, trapping the Blob in it. Elliot sarcastically asks the Blob if he’s okay in there, realizing that there isn’t much oxygen. Elliot bets that Blob can’t even hear him. But the Blob fights his way out of the hole and immediately punches Elliot out of his way.
Cyclops orders everyone to stand back, thinking it’s better that they regroup. He fires an optic blast, but gets grabbed by Toad’s tongue and the blast accidentally hits Iceman. Suddenly, Storm gets an idea and shouts to everyone wearing an “X” on their costume to hold on to something. Ororo creates a powerful whirlwind, knocking the Toad off of Scott’s back. Scott, quickly getting up, fires another blasts and takes the Toad down. Blob punches Colossus away from the Multiple Man and shouts that the party is just starting!
Xavier’s…
Jean, filled with a fiery rage, wonders what she should do first. With glowing eyes and surrounded by fire, she slowly walks towards a scared Lilandra. Jean thinks that she’s going to fry Lilandra from the inside out, starting with her non-essential organs, working her way up to Lilandra’s heart and brain. Jean wants to feel most of what she’ll do. She still doubts about what to start with though: the gallbladder maybe, or the pancreas? Jean mentions that she hears a person can live at least a few hours without their kidneys. She wonders if that’s true if those kidneys are melted.
Lilandra claims that this… this isn’t how it happens. This isn’t how it works. She claims that Jean doesn’t just become the Phoenix… it doesn’t… Jean can’t just blink an eye… it takes time. Lilandra believes that Jean is just confused and that this isn’t happening. She begs Jean to stop.
Jean pushes Lilandra against a wall. She reminds Lilandra that this is what she wanted. She wanted her glorious fiery god and, now, she is here for her. Lilandra asked for this. Lilandra woke the god up and Jean can’t believe Lilandra is actually scared right now. She wonders what kind of faith that is. Lilandra sickens her, telling her that her ancestors would weep at her ineptitude. Jean suggests Lilandra to put her out of her misery.
The Professor enters the room, shouting at Jean to stop doing this at once. Jean, holding Lilandra by her throat, claims that she is no longer here. Now, there is only the Phoenix! Xavier claims that Jean is just confused and orders her to stop. He doesn’t want to hurt her. Jean, calling Xavier a mortal, smirks that if he had the ability to hurt him, she would have killed him long ago.
The Academy of Tomorrow…
Rogue warns Cyclops to look out, as she throws some charged up play-cards at the Blob. Blob smirks that Scott sure has some brave girls on his team, and he tells Rogue, calling her a traitor, that those new skills won’t help her a bit.
A reporter asks her cameraman if he’s getting this, because if he isn’t, she’ll never sleep with him again.
Scott fires yet another optic blast, but it doesn’t even hurt the Blob. He wonders why Scott even bothers; because he’ll never be able to stop the Brotherhood from… from… the Blob hesitates from finishing his sentence. He concludes that Cyclops doesn’t have to mind what he just said. He knocks Rogue out, and focuses his attention to both Scott and Elliot now. Scott orders Iceman to tend to Rogue.
Elliot, holding his powers ready, smiles that it’s time the Blob gets a physics lesson. He explains that mass is constant. It remains the same under all conditions, no matter what the variables are. Weight, however, does not. He wants to see what happens when he decreases the gravity around the Blob by ninety-five percent! The Blob knows exactly what will happen: he’ll crush Elliot’s head like a grape!
Elliot doesn’t think so. He uses his powers to give his fists enormous strength, and punches the Blob towards Colossus’ direction. Peter grabs the warning, and punches the Blob away again, right back to Elliot. Elliot kicks the Blob away now and tells Cyclops to get him some extra lift. Scott understands and fires an optic blast and the Blob. Elliot smiles that all he needs to do now is restore normal gravity around the Blob now. He does so, and the Blob loudly smacks back onto the ground.
Xavier’s…
The Professor tries to reach Jean telepathically, telling her that he won’t let her hurt Lilandra. Jean claims that Xavier is out of his element here. She shouts that Xavier is but a speck of dust in comparison to her. She wants to see how powerful Xavier’s brain is once it’s been liquefied and is pouring out of his nose. Xavier’s nose start to bleed, and he feels the pain coming. Holding himself together, Xavier begs Jean not to do this.
Jean shouts that begging won’t get Xavier anywhere. Xavier asks Jean to listen to him. Telepathically, Xavier admits that he loves Jean. He succeeds in entering Jean’s mind, and suddenly… Jean is back to normal for a moment. Uncertain what’s going on, Jean calls out to Charles. Xavier apologizes for doing this to Jean. He enters her mind again, and suddenly, Jean loudly screams and faints, releasing Lilandra from her holding grip.
Lilandra takes a few moments to catch her breath again, and moves over to Charles, noticing that he fainted as well. Charles wakes up again, admitting that he’s okay. He had to shut down Jean’s brain. He had no other choice. He sure hopes she’ll be okay.
Gerald walks into the room, asking Majestrix Lilandra what happened. Lilandra smiles that she’s fine, thanks to Professor Xavier.
Emma Frost’s Academy of Tomorrow…
SHIELD has arrived to pick up the Brotherhood boys. Storm is surprised how fast SHIELD got there. Scott agrees with that, adding that the same counts for the reporters. This whole thing felt weird, and he wonders why the Brotherhood was even there. Iceman, holding his hand over Rogue’s shoulder, thinks it might be to take revenge against Emma’s students, who helped prevent Magneto from breaking out of prison. Rogue thinks that all that matter is that the Brotherhood didn’t succeed in their mission. Scott guesses so, and looks over to Elliot, who’s being interviewed.
Elliot explains to the reporters that he’s just trying to do the right thing. He adds that the X-Men want the world to see that not all mutants are terrorists or pose a threat in any way. In fact, he concludes, the X-Men would like to reassure humanity that they are on their side since they protect humans and mutants alike.
Scott walks over to Warren, and asks how they are treating him over here. Warren replies that things are just fine, and that everything was going smoothly until today. Scott is sorry about what Xavier did to Warren, as he hates the fact that Warren isn’t at the school anymore. Warren smiles that’s okay because he actually kind of likes it here. Besides, he doesn’t know if he could stand being at the school without Ali. Scott understands.
An angry Emma runs out of her Academy. She shouts that apparently she can’t leave this school for one night. She even thinks Xavier is behind all this. She demands to know what’s going on and where her chaperones are. Alex sighs, confident that they are going to hear about this later. Lorna agrees with that. Scott notices his brother and coldly says “hi” to him, to which Alex does the same thing. Lorna looks away from Scott.
Scott tells Peter that, if he wants a ride home with the rest of the team, he’ll have to be over at the X-Wing by the time he rounds up the rest of the crew. Peter understands that. As Scott walks off, Northstar smirks that this has been a hell of a first date. Peter smiles, as he can only agree with that.
Xavier’s…
Gerald helps the Professor back into his wheelchair and asks what happened. Lilandra doesn’t know. She’s going to have to consult the ancient tomes, but she thinks they may have just witnessed a pre-visitation. Jean wakes up, though with a bit of a headache. She too wants to know what happened.
Lilandra freaks out and begs Charles to do something. The Professor tells Lilandra she can relax: this is his student they are talking about and he knows how to handle this. He asks Jean if she’s okay. Jean takes a while to answer the question, but eventually answers that she thinks she’s going to throw up. The Professor promises that they are okay. For now, at least. He also promises Lilandra that there’s nothing to worry about, as that he can shut down Jean’s motor functions if she acts up.
Gerald still wants to know what happened, and what Jean did exactly. Lilandra explains that the things Jean said, they were so horrible… but her powers. Jean seemed to be taken over by another force. Lilandra is afraid that power must have been the Phoenix. Gerald apologizes to his Majestrix, but he believes that simply can’t be the case. He studied the completed analysis on Jean’s blood… and it contains none of the properties enumerated to them in the tomes. Jean can’t be the Phoenix. Gerald realizes that this isn’t anything close to conclusive on the matter, but he did some research on the Grey family. He asks Jean if she is aware that her parents were members of the Church of Shi’ar Enlightenment.
Jean takes a look at Gerald’s files, and wants to know what he’s trying to say and what these files are. Gerald explains that those are evidence of Jean’s parents’ involvement. He doesn’t believe Jean has anything to do with the Phoenix. He thinks Jean may have heard some stories when she was very young. And, when her powers began to manifest, her mind couldn’t comprehend them… so he thinks Jean’s mind used what it could remember oft the Shi’ar religion to construct something she could understand.
The Professor wants to know what Gerald is implying. Gerald thinks that Jean constructed split personalities to help her deal with having mutant powers. Nothing more. Jean angrily shouts that Gerald can’t possibly think she’s crazy. She defends she isn’t crazy! Xavier telepathically calms Jean down. Jean drops to her knees, almost crying that she isn’t crazy. Xavier asks Lilandra to leave the school. As both Lilandra and Gerald leave, Jean quietly whispers that she isn’t crazy.
Some time later…
Kitty hears the X-Men coming home in the hallway, and meets up with them. She wonders what took the guys so long, because they have been all over the news! The X-Men are popular again! This means they can be on talk shows again, and this time it will include her. Kitty thanks the new guy for this. Elliot introduces himself as Magician, as that’s the name the reporters came up with. Storm wants to know if Logan came back yet. When Kurt arrives back at the school, Peter tries to talk to Kurt, asking where he has been. Without saying a word, Kurt simply ignores Peter and teleports out of sight.
Scott meets up with the Professor alone, wondering where Jean is and if she’s done with those tests. Visibly concerned, the Professor thinks he and Scott should probably talk. Scott asks what’s wrong.
After the Professor has told his story, Scott goes to visit Jean in her room. The room is completely dark, and Jean lies on her bed, still wearing her uniform. Scott asks if she’s okay. Jean doesn’t answer at first. Keeping her eyes closed, Jean tells Scott that he can relax. She is surprised that Charles didn’t tell him. The test results were negative: she isn’t the Phoenix. She’s just crazy.
Scott doesn’t want Jean to say that. He asks if he can do anything for her, anything that will make her feel better. Jean tells Scott that he can leave, as she just wants to be left alone. Scott does so, not realizing that Jean is imagining that little green goblin creatures are covered over her body…
The Church of Shi’ar Enlightenment Headquarters…
Gerald wishes a good night to Lilandra, and walks outside. He gets a phone call and tells the caller he’s free to talk. He promises the caller that it’s not a mistake, as he doesn’t make mistakes. He explains that the analysis matched perfectly. Everything that was supposed to be there, was there. He has no doubt in mind. He’s positive that this young woman named Jean Grey is definitely the Phoenix. He admits that Shaw was a madman, but he was right. Once outside the building, Gerald agrees with the mysterious caller that, with this knowledge, he’s certain they can return the Hellfire Club to its former glory.

Magical: part 1
Xavier’s, the Professor’s study room…
Xavier, with his cat Mystique sitting on his lap, is talking with someone over the phone. He congratulates the person for doing so well, as he appreciates the fact that his assets are no longer frozen. It appears the Hellfire Club situation has been taken care of and trusts everything came through on his partner’s end as well.
Sitting in his room somewhere else and lifting some weights, Syndicate replies to the Professor’s questions. He mentions that his sister is doing well, only she’s now being investigated about where she got the money for the operation all of a sudden. He mocks that it’s always something. The Professor reminds Syndicate that he can take care of that as well. He says that someone in a high place will learn that was an insurance policy on Syndicate himself, since he is legally dead. Both of the Syndicate heads smirk that the Professor really has all angles covered and can’t thank him enough for it.
The Professor replies that no thanks are necessary. Anything he can do to help a fellow mutant, he’ll always gladly do. Actually, he has a new task. Xavier is interrupted, however, as his other phone rings. He apologizes to Syndicate, as they’ll have to discuss this later when he has a free moment. He answers the call, and tells Miss Pryde it’s so good to hear from her. Miss Pryde, impressed, jokes that the Professor really is psychic. Xavier corrects Theresa that they’ve actually got caller I.D. here at the mansion, and asks what he can do for her.
Talking on her cell at her kitchen, Theresa tells the Professor that she knows Katherine was a new boyfriend, but she doesn’t know all that much about him. Kitty usually isn’t so secretive with her and wonders if this boy is one of the Professor’s students. Xavier denies that. He explains that he met Kitty’s daughter before, and promises he’s a good kid and Theresa has nothing to worry about. It does ease Theresa’s mind hearing the Professor say that. But, she has to ask that, if the Professor can, to keep a closer eye on Kitty. Just for a couple of weeks while she tries to get Kitty to open up to her.
Xavier would be happy to. Theresa thanks him for that, and asks him to transfer her to Kitty’s room, as the automatic directory he has is so confusing to her. The Professor lies that Kitty’s actually in a training session right now, and that it’s best not to disturb her. He tries to avoid all interruptions when Kitty’s learning to better control her powers. Theresa wipes a tear from her eye, and claims that she understands. She hopes that the Professor doesn’t have her doing anything too strenuous, as she worries so much about her little girl. The Professor can assure Theresa that Kitty isn’t doing anything dangerous.
While talking to Theresa, Xavier takes a mysterious, brown “X”-marked wallet. He takes a key out of it and uses it to open up a drawer from his desk.
Elsewhere, downtown…
The X-Men gracefully jump out of their new plane. While firing an optic blast, Cyclops orders his team to make this fast as lives are at stake. Kitty agrees with that, joking that it’s their lives at stake! Holding hands with Iceman and sliding on his ice-slide, Bobby jokes that Kitty could have stayed at home, writing some love-letters to Spider-Man or something. They’ve got more than enough manpower to take on these losers, who don’t even have powers. These thugs are just wearing some red suits and white helmets and carry some guns.
Cyclops hits some of the thugs and warns Iceman not to underestimate their opponents. He explains tat, what these guys lack in super-power, they more than enough make up in firepower. Their leader, not wearing a helmet, shouts at the X-Men how they dare interfere with the Friends of Humanity. They are trying to right a great wrong, and they won’t be denied! He opens his men to open fire and to slaughter these gene-jokes!
Colossus tells the leader that he thinks he’s a very angry man. Also, he believes his crusade of hatred will require more than mere bullets. Peter uses his great strength to lift the ground up, and rolls his opponents over! He jokes if the picture is becoming more clear now?
Storm directs some of her winds on the Friends of Humanity, reminding them that they are attacking a hospital full of their humans because they offered to help poor mutant children get medical attention they can’t afford? She shouts that there’s a special kind of help for creeps like the Friends of Humanity… and she wouldn’t mind being the one to send them there! Scott reminds Ororo not to forget they’re the good guys. She can put their foes down hard… but not too hard. Storm lowers her adversaries hard on the ground, apologizing to offend Scott’s sensibilities. As long as a few bones get broken, it’s fine by her.
While Rogue uses some of her charged-up playing cards to take down more of the Friends of Humanity, Magician successfully dodges some bullets. He waves with his hand and causes the ground to swallow some of their enemies! Elliot states that he just doesn’t get it. He wonders how does attacking a hospital in brought daylight can get anyone but thrown in jail for the rest of their lives. He adds that if the X-Men wouldn’t have shown up, it would have been the police or the Ultimates.
Suddenly, Bobby is hit by a bullet, causing an immediate panic from Rogue. She takes out some more goons and rushes towards him, asking if he’s okay. Bobby sits down on the ground and places his hand on the wound on his other shoulder, claiming that he was just startled. His wound doesn’t even really hurt, and thinks he can fix it with his powers. Rogue thinks that’s weird.
Wolverine uses his claws to slice up one of the thugs, and swears that he’s just gone for a few weeks and the whole team is different. Nightcrawler and Pete aren’t getting along, and Kitty is dating that “loser in the webs.” And he wants to know who the new pretty boy on the team is. “What’s his name?” Logan asks. “Magician?” Kitty, standing behind Logan, mocks that if he would stick around for more than a few days at a time he would be able to keep up. The new guy’s really named Magician, and she calls him nice. And, Kitty defends, she has been dating Spider-Man for a while now and he isn’t a loser.
She wonders where Logan has been. Spidey totally saved their butts from the Marauders while Logan was gone. Logan, taking down another thug, grins that the key part in what Kitty just said was that he was really gone. That fiasco with the Marauders was an embarrassment and Logan’s glad he missed it.
Colossus rushes through a horde of Friends of Humanity, taking them all down at once. He jokes that this isn’t going so well for them. Cyclops fires another beam at more thugs and notices they are on their last legs. It’s time to take them down! Their leader can’t believe Cyclops thinks they are defeated. That this is all it takes to get rid of them. In case Scott hasn’t noticed, the leader adds, the gene-jokes are in the minority! The X-Men may have won this battle but the war is far from over!
Kitty whispers to Wolverine that she can’t believe the leader actually just said that battle/war speech. The leader becomes furious, and his eyes and neck start expanding! Kitty wonders what’s going on, as the leader grows immense in size, angrily proclaiming that the X-Men have infected him with their disease and covered him in their mutant filth! He’s going to kill all of the mutants for this!
Iceman believes that the leader is a mutant who hates mutants. He can’t believe the guy doesn’t see any conflict in that. The leaders shout that the X-Men are behind his mutant, defending that he isn’t a freak.
Westchester General Hospital…
Nightcrawler sits alone on Dazzler’s bed, quietly staring at her. Suddenly, Alison wakes up! Touching her face, she asks if that twit stabbed her. She notices Kurt, and asks the Elf where the rest of Charlie’s Angels are. The hallway? At home having a party? Or, is he the only one here? She wants to know where Warren is. But Kurt doesn’t respond, and just stares at her, shocked to hear her asking about Warren and not him.
Xavier’s…
Xavier meets up with Jean, and opens her cell below the mansion. She lies in bed, and Charles asks how she’s feeling. Jean opens her eyes, reminding the Professor that she keeps trying to tell him she’s fine and not a danger to anyone. He doesn’t have to keep her there. “Please”, Jean says.
The Professor claims that this is for Jean’s own good. He knows that she understands that. He’s just keeping her here under observation and is certain this will only be temporary. Jean gets up, defending that she isn’t a danger. She thinks Charles can’t possibly believe she’d hurt anyone here. She doesn’t remember what happened with Lilandra, but she knows it won’t happen again. She has surprised that side of her this long, and can continue to do so. Charles has to be sure about that. He turns away from her, saying that he’s sorry. Jean knows, and tells the Professor to just leave. She’ll close the door. Xavier looks at her one final time, and leaves.
Jean waves with her hand, and little green goblin-like creatures appear. One of them closes the door, and Jean tells them that at least they still listen to her.
The battle…
Colossus has been defeated, and Kitty thinks his arm is broken!
The leader of the Friends of Humanity pounds his fists on the ground, taking down the rest of the team as well, except for Elliot, who calmly faces the leader, asking if that’s the best he can do. The leader mocks that Elliot sure is a tough guy. He tries to grab Elliot, but he jumps away from him. He tells the leader that he can sure call him a tough guy, or something like that. Elliot knows that the leader may not recognize him, but reminds him that he has been on the news but understands that he’s still pretty new on the team. So he suggests he gets the leader as far away from his fallen teammates as possible before he causes any more damage.
The leader follows Elliot, wondering where he is going. He mocks if this is perhaps his mutant power – running scared? Elliot smiles that certainly isn’t the case. He introduces himself as Magician, and he can make things happen. Like this. He puts his hands in the air, and has a humongous boulder appears above the leader’s head, which Elliot has crash down on him! As Elliot jumps into safety, the leader destroys the boulder with his fists, shouting that he’ll kill Magician.
Elliot thinks he has been going about this all wrong, smiling that it was silly of him to do this the hard way. He transforms the ground and has it almost close down on the leader. He asks the guy if he’s impressed yet and punches him in the face, taking him out!
The other X-Men wake up. Scott tells them they need to put it together, as this leader guy is still out there and it won’t be easy to take him out. He wants to know who’s battle-ready. Suddenly, Elliot appears in front of them, holding an unconscious leader over his shoulder. He smiles to Scott that he can relax as it has all been taken care of. He can call the jet back, and they can all go home. As lot of amazed people stare at the victorious Magician, Kitty gets up, smiling that Elliot is totally sweet.
Xavier’s…
Nightcrawler returns home and passes Xavier’s study room. Xavier, who was busy reading, notices Kurt and calls out to him. When Kurt asks what’s up, the Professor asks Kurt where he has been, as he hardly saw him at the mansion for the last few days and the X-Men had to go on another mission without him. He asks if something’s wrong. Kurt claims that he has been dealing with something personal and prefers to be alone. He starts to walk away, ignoring the fact that the Professor tries to reach out to him. Charles sighs. He suddenly senses something.
Xavier goes to open the door, and finds… Nick Fury! Fury claims that they need to talk. Xavier asks what he can do for Fury and suggests they finish this in his study. Fury follows the Professor and notices how nice and quiet it is here today. Xavier mentions that his students are out on a mission right now. Fury asks Charles if he really thinks he doesn’t know that already. Xavier enters his study, adding that of course Fury already knew. He asks what Fury wants to talk about.
Fury agrees to play Xavier’s little game and act like he doesn’t know Xavier didn’t already pulled it out of his brain. He reminds Charles he really doesn’t need that façade. Xavier defends that he never enters a mind without permission and orders Fury to get on with it, as he’s trying his patience.
Fury wants to talk about the new recruit Xavier has – Magician. The kid with the reality-altering powers. And he wants him. Fury has seen footage of Elliot from Chicago at Frost’s school and believes the boy has great potential and would do more good with the Ultimates. Elliot would be protecting the world and not putting out tiny race-related fires like he’s currently doing with the X-Men.
Xavier asks Fury if he has mistaken his operation as a personal talent school. He knows Fury thinks Wolverine was one of the Ultimates, as often as he sent him on errands. The answer is no. Fury claims he wasn’t asking. He knows Elliot is still underage – barely – so he can’t just outright claim the government is entitled to him. Therefore, he went to the boy’s parents. They didn’t even know he was…
Interrupting Fury, Charles is shocked to hear about Elliot’s parents! He reminds Fury that, when he brought Elliot there and turned him over into his custody, Fury told him that Elliot had actually killed his parents. Fury asks Charles to wait a minute. He asks when he turned Elliot over into Xavier’s custody and what Xavier is talking about. He never even heard of Elliot until he started running around with the X-Men. Charles believes that something is very wrong here.
