Now:
The New Xavier School, where Scott “Cyclops” Summers walks out into the snow to find his brother Alex “Havok” Summers has arrived. 'Hey...' Scott greets him. 'This is where you live?' Alex asks. They smile at each other then hug. Scott puts an arm around Alex's shoulders and walks him inside, asking him if he is tired. 'So tired' Alex tells him. Scott tells Alex that he is glad he is here – really.
Once inside, Alex looks around the communications room and tells his brother that he thought he had students and teachers. 'Where's Emma? Where's everybody?' he asks. 'You actually came at kind of a bad time...' Scott begins. 'What did you do?' Alex asks.
Three hours ago:
Celeste, Phoebe, Mindee, Benjamin Deeds, Triage, Goldballs and Hijack are gathered together as Cyclops tells them that the Jean Grey School is a very good school with good teachers. 'You will be safe. You will be taken care of. You will be trained...' he assures them. 'Are you #$%&#$%& kidding us, with this?' Hijack a.k.a David Bond asks. 'You're kidding, right?' Christopher Muse a.k.a. Triage exclaims. 'He's not kidding' Celeste tells him. 'You're kicking us out?' Mindee asks. 'Where's Eva? We shouldn't be talking about this without Eva' Goldballs remarks. 'Wolverine was right! You are an #$%&#$%&!' Phoebe snaps. 'Storm and the others at the Jean Grey School...' Cyclops begins. 'I left my home to come here!' Benjamin exclaims. 'Beast -' Cylops begins. 'I haven't spoken to my parents in months because you said -' Goldballs points out. 'This is so not fair' Mindee complains. 'You promised us' Celeste snaps. Cyclops tells her that he promised to train them and keep them safe – and he is keeping that promise. 'Unbelievable' Hijack mutters as he starts to walk away. 'Where are you going?' Triage calls out. 'Away from him' Hijack replies. 'No, I mean where is – where is he going?' Triage explains, referring to Cyclops.
Cyclops announces that he is going to turn himself in to the authorities for the death of Charles Xavier and threats against the United States. 'Really?' Magik a.k.a. Illyana Rasputin asks as she, Emma Frost and Alison “Dazzler” Blaire enter the room. 'You lied to me!' Goldballs shouts angrily, releasing several gold balls which slam into Cyclops, knocking him back.
Now:
Havok is asleep in a bed, while Cyclops is packing some things into a bag. 'What's going on?' Alex asks as he stirs and looks over to his brother, who tells him to keep sleeping. 'You're packing?' Alex asks. 'Is that all the stuff you have in the world?' 'Pretty much' Scott admits. 'Want it?' he asks. Havok sits up and asks how long he has been asleep for. 'Fourteen hours' Cyclops reports. Alex rubs his disfigured face, 'So... the typical sleep crash after a major super-powered event' Havok remarks. 'Yup' Scott smiles. Havok asks his brother if he is really leaving and tells him that he is coming with him. 'Absolutely not' Scott declares. 'You don't have to do everything by yourself' Alex points out. Scott tells him that he knows, but that this he does have to do alone. He sits on the edge of the bed next to Alex, who tells him that he wishes he would take a day to think about it. 'I have. I have talked myself out of this every day since it happened. I – I am responsible, at least in part, for the death of Charles Xavier. If I don't stand up and accept the blame, finally, publicly, sincerely, I am everything bad that they say about us' Cyclops explains. 'Us?' Havok asks. 'Mutants' Cyclops tells him.
'I am using my powers to do whatever I want to whomever. I am' Cyclops states. Havok asks if that was in the will, and Cyclops reveals that Charles left everything to him. 'Oh' Alex replies. 'I was like his son' Cyclops remarks. 'You kind of were' Havok agrees. 'Well...' Scott begins. 'It was an accident' Havok reminds him. 'You are going to let them crucify you for it, and for the life of me I can't understand why' Havok adds. 'Because I realized I deserve it' Scott admits. 'What the hell is wrong with us?' Havok asks. 'Aliens kidnapped our parents and killed our Mom in front of us' Cyclops reminds him. 'Oh, yeah...' Havok remarks. Cyclops adds that then their power set made them pariahs in the human world. 'No, I know. I was being rhetorical' Havok tells him. 'Okay. But I'm right' Cyclops exclaims. 'No, I know' Havok tells him, before asking him what happened to his students.
Three hours ago:
More and more of Goldballs' balls slam and bounce around Cyclops, who falls to the ground. 'Uh-oh' Goldballs mutters as he stands over Cyclops. 'You killed him' Triage exclaims. 'What is going on? Kitty Pryde asks as she enters the room. 'Fabio killed Professor Cyclops' Benjamin tattles. 'No! No, I -' Goldballs begins. Emma leans over Scott's body and realizes that he is out cold. She instructs Triage to heal him.
Magik turns to Kitty and asks her where she has been. 'Outer space with my boyfriend' Kitty replies. 'I need you to come with me' Magik tells her. 'Illyana, I need a shower and a -' Kitty begins, but Magik declares 'I've had it. Bye' and opens a portal, through which she drags Kitty with her. 'Illyana!' Kitty exclaims.
'Huh' Celeste remarks as she sees them vanish. Triage kneels over Cyclops and Emma asks him to heal Scott. 'Oh yeah, oh God' Triage utters. 'Please. Yes' Goldballs exclaims as he crouches nearby. 'Ow!' Cyclops declares as he sits up. 'Uh... sorry' Golballs tells him.
'As I was saying... you need – all of you still need training' Cyclops tells the students. 'You promised to train us' Benjamin reminds him. 'The Jean Grey School is more than enough to -' Cyclops begins, before Mindee calls out to Ms Frost. 'What about you?' Phoebe asks her. 'Are you coming back to the Jean Grey School, too?' Celeste inquires. 'I'm going to go back to being the White Queen of the Hellfire Club' Emma replies, looking at Cyclops. 'I know you're mad. But you know I'm right' Cyclops tells her. 'So you were crazy this entire time and now you're better?' someone asks.
'What happened to Eva Bell? Why isn't she here?' Goldballs asks. 'You know what? Cyclops, Scott Summers, you're a liar. You lied to us. You can go to hell' Hijack exclaims. 'I didn't lie!' Cyclops retorts as Hijack starts to walk away. 'You made a promise and you didn't keep it. That's a lie' Hijack points out. Cyclops asks him to come back, but Hijack replies 'Or what? You'll kick me out? Again? $#%& you, Scott Summers'.
Now:
Cyclops and Havok are outside, as Havok asks 'What was it?' 'What?' Cyclops replies. 'The mutant revolution. Did it happen and I missed it?' Havok asks, adding that the whole time he was leading the Avengers he was bracing himself for the call. “Your brother's taken over the White House” “Your brother's taken a Helicarrier and crashed it into the UN”. 'And then I was going to have to choose sides. I was either going to have to fight you or join you. Probably join you. Because I hate fighting you' Havok remarks. 'No, you don't' Cyclops tells him. 'Well, not since we were kids' Havok replies, before asking 'What was it, Scott? What was the mutant revolution supposed to be?'
Three hours ago:
'Tell me now!' Emma shouts at Cyclops inside her bedroom. 'What was it all about?' she demands. Scott asks her to calm down, to which Emma scowls and asks him when, in the history of their history, has telling her to calm down ever worked? 'I know you're mad -' Scott begins, but Emma interrupts him: 'For ultimately wasting my life believing in you?' she asks. 'Yes! I'm good and mad. At me and you' Emma declares. Scott tells Emma that it is not a one-way road, and that he believes in her, too. 'Yeah, but I'm easy to believe in' Emma points out. 'We're really going down that road?' Scott asks her. 'You asked me to stay locked in here with you!' Emma exclaims. 'Yes' Cyclops confirms. 'You begged me!' Emma declares. 'I did' Scott admits. 'Even after we broke up' Emma adds. 'Yes' Scott replies. Emma asks him what they were training these kids for. 'Emma...' Scott begins. 'What was it for, Scott?' Emma demands.
Now:
'I'm serious... what was the revolution?' Havok asks Cyclops as they stand outside still.
Three hours ago:
'What was the revolution?' Emma shouts at Scott, who frowns. 'Our last chance, okay? We have nothing left but threats!' Scott replies.
Now:
'We fought for them and they hate us! We fought alongside them and they kill our children in the streets! We pack up and move to an island and they destroy it! We move to another one and the #$%&#$& Avengers storm the #$%&# beaches!' Cyclops exclaims, adding that they are supposed to be the next step in human evolution and yet they have become an endangered species. 'We're everything they are not and we're a shadow of our former selves!'
Three hours ago:
'All we have left is threats' Scott tells Emma. 'The threat of revolution! The threat of a fight that we hope they don't want' Scott adds, declaring that, yes, he got in front of any camera that would show his face and he looked their world in the eye and told them 'They better leave us alone'.
Now:
'...I stood on the bridge of the Helicarrier and I threatened them... because nothing. Else. Has. Worked' Cyclops states.
Three hours ago:
Emma watches Scott closely, but says nothing.
Now:
Havok pauses and listens as Scott tells him that Xavier is gone, Logan is gone. He watched Xavier die at his feet and he thought if he doesn't do something to kickstart it... the dream is really, truly dead. 'After us, what is there?' Scott asks. Havok then tells Cyclops that if you make a threat you have to be ready to see it through.
Three hours ago:
Scott sits on the edge of the bed and looks to the floor. Emma stares down at him. She does nothing, until she finally sits down next to him. There is silence, before Emma remarks 'I know all of that, you know'. 'Yeah' Scott mutters. 'Maybe we should just start over' Emma suggests. 'How? I wouldn't even know where to begin' Scott replies. 'I mean... everything' Emma tells him. 'You mean us?' Scott asks, adding that at this point, he wouldn't touch her with Namor's trident. He stares at her, and Emma switches to her diamond form.
'Well...' she declares as she gets up and starts to walk away. 'Have you ever even attempted to apologize for ruining us? And after all you've said and done... you want me to get back together with you?' Cyclops calls out. Emma glares at Cyclops and announces 'I might as well tell you, Scott – I can read your thoughts again. I know in actuality, no matter how brave a front you put up, that you're actually very conflicted in regards to me. And this we will always have in common'. 'Since when?' Scott asks her. Emma tells him that he has always been conflicted about her. 'That's the downside to reading everyone's thoughts. I can read all of them' Emma remarks. She turns away again, 'All of the little doubts and fantasies and what-ifs and fears. I don't get to pick the ones I want to read. It's either all or nothing. And to be involved with you is to be involved with a very conflicted man'.
'No, Emma. I meant how long have your powers been fixed?' Scott enquires, seemingly ignoring everything else she has just said. Emma turns back to him, still in her diamond form, she tells him that she roots for him, to pick the right thoughts and act accordingly – she always does. 'And even after all we have been through I root for us because when we're good, we're as good as it gets'.
 Cyclops once again asks her 'How long', but Emma tells him that she roots for him because even though doing so is insanely frustrating, she is his biggest fan. 'There's a Scott Summers in there whose thoughts I admire with every cell in my body. And you know that's true. You know. Because I let you in' she tells him. Touching her head, she tells Scott that she has let him in like she has no one else. 'I shared my thoughts with you. And when I couldn't anymore I missed you so much. And now I actually wish my powers were still broken. Because this is brutal'. A tear drops down Emma's face. Cyclops turns from her, and Emma continues on her way out, she wishes Scott good luck – and also good luck with his “revolution”. 'Because you and I knew it wasn't an idle threat and it certainly wasn't one to the rest of the world. She stands in the doorway and adds 'That means it's real whether you want it to be or not'. Cyclops frowns, then turns to the doorway – but Emma is gone. He walks out of the room, and looks out over the open space of the facility, but Emma is nowhere to be seen.
Now:
'Where's Emma?' Havok asks. 'She usually calms you down and gets you back on track. One way or another'. Cyclops simply says that she is gone. 'She's gone?' Alex asks. 'All the way gone' Scott replies. 'That is great news!' Alex exclaims. 'Stop it' Scott tells him. 'You're free. We should be cele-#$%&#$%&-brating!' Alex declares, smiling. 'Stop it' Cyclops replies. Havok pulls away from his brother and asks him 'So... what now?' Cyclops replies that he has something to do. 'Not turning yourself in. Not hanging yourself on a cross... how about something Xavier would actually approve of' Havok suggests. 'Something Logan would approve of' Cyclops tells him. 'Something that helps our people... something no one would ever expect from you' Havok smiles. 'You have something, don't you?' Scott asks. 'You know what? I damn well do' Alex announces. They head back towards the facility, 'Tell me' Scott asks him. 'I'll show you' Alex replies. 'Are we going to open a Summers Brothers pizza parlor?' Scott asks. 'Oh. That's actually better than what I have' Alex remarks. Scott tells his brother that he is really glad he is here. 'Awwww...' Alex responds.

'ILLYANA!' screams Kitty Pryde as she is teleported away alongside Illyana “Magik” Rasputin, who just tells Kitty to calm herself. 'Calm myself? Bring me back to the Xavier School!' Kitty exclaims as she grabs Magik by her collar. 'Touching' Illyana replies. Kitty tells Magik that she was where she was because she wanted to be where she was – at the school – and she doesn't want to be here. Magik looks at her surroundings as Kitty tells her that she doesn't like to be teleported places against her will. 'You know that' she reminds Magik, who explains that she needed to get away from there before she did something she would regret. 'Ugh! What is wrong with you?' Kitty asks, covering her face. 'I was raised in a hellish dimension by a demon' Illyana deadpans. 'Well, yeah. Okay. And where is here? Are we in the Savage Land? You know how I feel about the Savage Land'. Magik raises her Soulsword and reports that they are not in the Savage Land. 'I believe they call it Monster Island' she explains, as several large monsters tower high above the dense jungle, all looking down at the two new arrivals.
'Illyana!' Kitty cries as the monsters move closer. 'It's already happened' Magik replies. 'Un-make it happen' Kitty tells her. Magik's sword clashes against one of the monsters. 'I'm not fighting monsters because you're in a mood' Kitty tells Illyana as she lets a monster run towards her, then she phases so the monster passes through her. 'That's not what it is' Illyana replies as she shoves a monster aside. 'Kind of looks like it' Kitty points out. 'Well, it's not' Illyana retorts. 'There's more' she adds, as other monsters close in around her. 'Yeah? Why are we here? Is there an In ‘n’ Out Burger nearby? The last record store on Earth?' she jokes. 'We're here for a reason Illyana declares as she releases some energy which knocks the monsters back. Two white furry monsters look at each other, confused. 'Yeah?' Kitty asks. Magik smiles as she announces that there is a mutant here, and that they are going to save them. 'There's a mutant here?' Kitty asks suspiciously, glancing at one of the white furry monsters that stands next to her. 'Yes' Magik repeats, before a large monster kicks her over. 'Here?' Kitty asks, looking around. Magik leaps into the air and waves her sword about, releasing some sort of energy, 'Well, somewhere over there' she replies. 'Stop hitting the monsters' Kitty tells her. 'They started it' Magik mutters.
'They're just animals' Kitty points out. 'It's like punching a puppy' she adds as Magik kicks one of them in the face. Magik slices her sword about again and reminds Kitty that she grew up in a world of demons. 'Trust me. This is what they respect'.
Kitty asks Magik if this mutant is something she imagined, when suddenly, there is a crash of thunder and a flash of lightning. 'Yeah' Magik declares as the rain starts to pour down around them. 'Come on!' Magik calls out to the monsters, but when there is another flash of lightning, the monsters turn and head back into the jungle. 'They ran away' Magik remarks. 'Thunder' Kitty tells her. 'I told you – puppies' she adds. Magik tells Kitty to follow her, and as the rain beats down on them, they head deeper into the jungle. 'No. I don't like you anymore' Kitty tells her. 'Liar' Magik responds.
They arrive at a clearing on a cliffside and look out over the island. 'Okay, what now?' Kitty asks. 'We're looking for a mutant' Illyana reminds her. 'Here?' Kitty asks. 'Yes, here. Why not here?' Illyana replies. 'Uh, monsters' Kitty begins, before a device on Magik's wrist turns on and displays a map of the island. 'Is that a portable Cerebro?' Kitty asks. Magik confirms that it is. 'You buy that online or -?' Kitty begins, as Magik explains that Magneto made it. 'There is a mutant here? On this island?' Kitty asks. Magik tells her that according to Cerebro there is. 'So we are here for a reason' Kitty remarks. 'Yes, I said that' Magik reminds her. 'And I thought you brought me out here to kill me' Kitty jokes. Magik points out that she doesn't need to bring Kitty all the way out here to kill her. 'It's funnier when I joke about how dark and crazy mysterious you are... it's not so funny when you do it' Kitty replies, while eyes peer out at them through the darkness of the jungle. 'It's not so funny when you do it, either. It actually hurts me' Illyana tells Kitty, who looks somewhat taken aback. 'Okay. Uh, sorry' Kitty replies as she walks several feet behind Illyana.
Magik explains that when the X-Men go off the rails and start fighting with each other and imploding on each other, she goes find a new mutant to help or save. 'So it's a full-time job' Kitty jokes. 'Now that was funny' Magik tells her, adding that she does this and it reminds her of why they are doing this in the first place. 'Well, I'm all about that' Kitty agrees. 'I know. That's why I brought you with me' Illyana tells her. 'Asking. Inviting. These are all good words' Kitty points out as they continue on through the rain-drenched jungle.
Kitty asks why they are walking and not teleporting, and looking up at a cave ahead of them, Illyana explains that she doesn't want to startle this new mutant. 'Is that the mutant?' Kitty asks, looking ahead into the cave. Magik replies that she doesn't know. Kitty enters the cave, while Magik stands outside it with her sword, ready to strike. 'No do that' a voice from within the cave calls out. 'Hello?' Magik responds. 'Go. Go now' the voice exclaims. Some flickers of bright pink, yellow and blue lights can be seen behind a large mass inside the cave. 'Did you do this?' Magik asks. 'You can come out. It's safe. I mean, you're safe with us' Kitty announces. 'No. Hurt you' the voice calls back. 'Uh, we're the X-Men. Do you know the X-Men?' Kitty asks.
Suddenly, a small figure appears from behind the mass inside the cave, the light flickering around the small figure which rushes towards Kitty and Magik. 'Oh...' Kitty utters. 'Oh, boy. What's your name?' she asks as a little girl wearing a tattered dress, and what appear to be antennae on her face reveals herself. 'My name is Bo' the little girl announces. 'You speak English?' Kitty asks. 'No good' Bo tells her. But Kitty assures Bo that she speaks English pretty good, and asks her how long she has been here. 'What is... “how long”?' Bo enquires. Kitty introduces herself as Kitty. 'Kitty' Bo repeats. 'Kitty Pryde' Kitty adds. 'Cat' Bo tells her. 'Yes' Kitty replies. 'Kitty cat' Bo adds, before asking for food. 'You need food?' Kitty asks, and Bo tells her that she is very hungry. Kitty asks Bo if they can take her out of here, as they can take her to food, and somewhere safe. 'Who?' Bo asks, pointing at Magik. 'They call me Ill – they call me Magik' Illyana smiles. 'Magic. Magic and Kitty Cat' Bo smiles, the lights continuing to sparkle around her. Kitty once again asks Bo how long she has been here, but Bo looks confused. 'How many sleeps?' Magik enquires. Bo starts counting on her fingers, and holds seven figures up. 'You stayed alive out here all by yourself... for a week?' Kitty asks, surprised. 'Who brought you here?' the equally surprised Magik asks. 'My father come back' Bo replies as she steps back into the darkness of the cave.
'Oh no' Magik gasps. 'Did your father bring you here?' Kitty asks, concerned. Bo says that she woke up here, on the beach. 'Monsters. Real monsters' she begins to cry. The lights vanish from around her, before returning, 'I hurt mother. But not me. Not purpose' Bo tells the X-Men. 'So instead of helping you, your father dropped you off on Monster Island' Magik declares. 'Oy...' Kitty utters. 'I'm going to find him and kill him' Magik announces. 'You kill my father?' Bo screams urgently. 'No! No, she's just upset for you – it's a saying, it's -' Kitty begins, as the lights around Bo become more frantic, then a noise can be heard – coming from the mass in the cave. Over the trees, two large monsters can be seen peering down into the clearing outside the cave. 'Were you with your father before you fell asleep?' Magik asks. 'On boat' Bo replies. Magik is confused by this.
'What can you do, Bo?' Kitty asks as she crouches in front of Bo. 'Do?' Bo asks, confused. 'Your special thing. Your special power' Magik explains, turning away to hide the tears in her eyes. Suddenly, the large mass inside the cave appears behind Bo – that large mass being a hairy, growling monster, and Bo begins to cry again, before suddenly, the light around her transforms into bands of red energy that lash out, striking Kitty and Magik.
There is darkness, then Kitty wakes. She sees that Illyana is still out cold, and looks over to where Bo is sitting outside the cave. 'Bo, are you all right?' Kitty asks. 'AIE!' Bo screams, releasing some flickers of colored light. 'Sorry' Kitty tells her as she edges closer to Bo, assuring her that they have not come to hurt her. 'We're here to get you of here' Kitty tells her. 'So sorry' Bo responds. 'I know' Kitty tells her. 'I hurt you. So sorry' Bo remarks again. Kitty tells Bo that she can help her with that, but Bo replies that she hurt people, like her mother. 'It's not your fault. You don't know how to control this yet' Kitty assures Bo. 'My father. Bring me here. To die?' Bo asks. 'And he was wrong to do that' Kitty responds. 'No' Bo replies. Kitty promises Bo that her father was wrong, and informs her that they can bring her somewhere with other kids, like her, who also have powers. 'Me? Powers?' Bo asks as some blue lights flicker around her. 'Yes. What you do. It's a power. A mutant power. You have powers' Kitty explains. 'Like mighty Thor?' Bo smiles. 'Something like that' Kitty smiles back, before there is a roar, and several monsters rush towards the cave. 'Well, that's enough of that!' Magik exclaims, as a portal opens around her and she thrusts her Soulsword forwards.
An instant later, Magik, Kitty and Bo arrive on the front lawn of the Jean Grey School. 'Good morning, Kitty' Storm calls out as she and Nightcrawler approach them. 'What have we here?' Storm asks. 'Brand new mutant' Kitty reports. 'Yes, I see. What does she do?' Storm asks. 'Those ribbons... hurt' Magik replies. Kitty explains that she was phasing and the ribbons still went right through her, she was out for hours and feels flu-ish 'I think they paralyze the system' she explains. 'She shut us down'. Nightcrawler crouches in front of the new mutant and smiles, asking her what her name is. Bo leans back away from Nightcrawler, as Kitty tells him that her name is Bo and she is very tired and hungry and that he is scaring the bejeebus out of her. Nightcrawler frowns, while Kitty assures Bo that she is safe here. 'These are my friends and they are your friends'. Storm introduces herself as Ororo and takes Bo's hand as she leads her inside. 'You so beautiful' Bo tells Storm 'You're already my new favorite student' Storm replies. Bo looks back at Magik and Kitty, then rushes over to them.
'Thank you for getting me' she tells them. Kitty and Magik crouch down and hug Bo. 'Welcome to the X-Men. Hope you sur-' Magik begins. 'You'll do great' she tells Bo, who then rushes back towards Storm.
'You were right. We did need that' Kitty tells Magik, who replies that she misses their friendship. 'You don't have to, goofball. It's always there' Kitty replies, putting a hand on Illyana's arm. 'Not like before. I miss you and I miss my brother. I miss those days' Illyana admits. Arms around each other, they walk towards the entrance of the Jean Grey School, 'Well... let's change that right now. Let's make new days. Let's find your brother' Kitty suggests.

Delhi, India, where a woman exits a limo and enters an apartment. She smiles, then a voice calls out 'Hello, Raven'. The woman turns to her sofa, where Scott “Cyclops” Summers is sitting. 'How did you find me?' Raven Darkholme a.k.a. Mystique asks. 'Your bread crumbs' Scott tells her. 'I'm going to have to work on that' Raven remarks. 'You're a Bollywood star now?' Scott asks. 'Only for a week or two. Just taking a vacation from myself' Raven replies. 'Again' Cyclops points out. 'Again' Raven asks, before enquiring how the mutant revolution is going. As Raven sits down next to him, Scott tells her that it would be going better if she wasn't out here in the wild causing trouble. 'Who else is here?' Raven smiles. 'Just me. I wanted to talk' Cyclops explains. Raven leans in closer, as Scott tells her that he figured if the X-Men ganged up on her, the discourse level would drop to punching and kicking. 'So you and Emma broke up again' Raven states. 'That happened a while ago' Cyclops replies. Raven quickly shapeshifts into Emma Frost, 'So you're really here for...' she begins, grinning. 'I'm really here to talk' Scott frowns. 'Really talk?' Raven asks as she transforms into Jean Grey. 'Really... talk...' Cyclops assures her. 'Really really talk?' Raven asks as she transforms into Wolverine. 'What is going on with you, Raven? For real?' Cyclops asks.
'That's what I like about you, Scott...  a little bit of me and a normal man would burst into tears and / or not be able to sit straight. You've been in so many messed up relationships that this kind of thing rolls right off for you' Raven remarks as she switches to her default blue-skinned form. 'Raven... you are a mutant of exceptional ability. You might be one of the best' Scott tells her. 'Might?' Raven asks. Cyclops reminds her that one minute she is setting up a nightmare mutant utopia in Madripoor, and the next she is attacking her own people – what she did to Dazzler. 'You were one of Xavier's soldiers, just like me... and now? Honestly? I'm talking to you, Raven. Mutant to mutant' Cyclops declares, as Raven turns away from him and hangs her head. 'What are you doing? What do you want?'
One week ago:
Inside SHIELD Helicarrier, floating world headquarters of the United Nations peacekeeping task force, its present location 1,000 feet over Anaheim, California.
'Commander Hill, she's here' a SHIELD officer calls out. 'Are we sure?' Maria Hill asks. 'Ma'am?' the agent asks, confused. 'Have you bio-scanned her to make sure it's really her?' Maria enquires. 'Yes, Ma'am. And the Psychic Division has cleared her' the agent adds. 'Send her in' Maria announces, deciding that this should be good, she instructs all of the staff in the room to excuse themselves, telling them that she will call them back in when she needs them. 'Dazzler' Maria greets  Alison Blaire as she enters. 'Thank you for seeing me, Director Hill. I know you're busy' Dazzler replies. 'What can I do for you?' Maria asks. 'Mystique. I want her' Dazzler declares, frowning. But Maria tells her that she doesn't have Mystique. 'Can I see her files?' Dazzler asks. Maria explains that SHIELD files are matters of international security. 'Yes. I'm aware. Can I see them?' Dazzler repeats herself. 'I could if you were still an agent of SHIELD' Maria explains. Dazzler tells Maria that she was thinking about that, and reminds her that she technically never fired her. 'You never technically quit' Maria adds.
'So I guess that means I'm technically still an agent of SHIELD. Can I see her files?' Dazzler asks. Arms crossed, Maria tells Dazzler that it is not easy to find a shape-shifter. 'No' Dazzler agrees. Maria remarks that Dazzler is right to be pissed, and tells her she would be the same if Mystique took her place in the world. 'I am' Dazzler snaps, narrowing her eyes. Maria looks away from her, before pushing a computer screen towards Dazzler, 'I'm really not allowed to give you access to any of this' she tells her. Dazzler looks at the computer screen, and Maria turns away from her, revealing that they have top agents in the field specifically looking for her, but there is nothing in those files of any use. 'Maybe. Maybe they just don't know what to look for' Dazzler replies as her eyes scan over the computer screen. Maria looks at some monitors before her and asks 'Don't you mutants have a mutant-finding technology? The Cerebro?' Dazzler tells her that Mystique found a way around it. 'Sounds like her' Maria mutters, before asking how Scott Summers is doing.  'You could do better' Dazzler tells her. 'I mean, is he still insane?' Maria asks, turning back to Dazzler. 'In what sense?' Dazzler asks. 'Is he still declaring a mutant revolution?' Maria enquires. 'Yep' Dazzler responds. 'Want to -?' Dazzler begins, before she stops herself and simply stares at the screen. 'Did you find something?' Maria asks. Dazzler doesn't answer her. 'What?' Maria calls out.

Present:
'It's a fair question' Cyclops tells Mystique, who reminds him that they are not friends. 'But I think we're kindred spirits' Cyclops replies. 'How so?`Mystique asks, smiling. 'I think – I think we both expected more. I think we're both still reeling from Xavier's death' Cyclops explains. 'And Logan' Mystique adds. 'And Logan' Cyclops agrees, before remarking that there is not that many people for people like them to talk to when stuff like this happens. 'That's true' Mystique agrees, turning to look away from Cyclops, who puts a hand on her shoulder and tells her that he brings it up because she seemed to get very violent and very angry towards their people after Xavier died. 'I wondered if you weren't somehow -' he begins, to which Mystique interrupts him, asking him how he found her. 'The same way you hid from us' Scott responds. 'What does that mean?' Mystique asks. 'I have ways' Scott tells her. 'You have your ways, I have my ways...' his voice trails off, and Mystique grins: 'Ah! You almost had me!' Scott looks confused, 'I'm not trying to have you. I'm trying to -' he begins, before Mystique switches to an icy form. 'Who are you really?' she asks.
'I'm not the shape-shifter, Raven' Scott replies. 'Then why haven't you mentioned our affair?' Mystique asks. 'I didn't mention it because I'm trying to have a real conversation with you' Cyclops explains. Mystique leaps up onto the back of the sofa and holds a large gun towards Cyclops, 'I appreciate that. Except Scott Summers and I never had an affair'. 'Nice' Scott replies, with the gun pointed at his head, he points out that to be fair, it is not out of the realm of possibilities that Scott Summers would sully himself with her. 'True' Mystique agrees, before grinning, 'Bye bye'.
One week ago
'How bad do you, and by you I mean SHIELD, want Mystique?' Dazzler asks as she walks away from the screen, moving closer to Maria Hill. 'As bad as you do, if not more' Maria responds. 'If I bring you Mystique... what do I get?' Dazzler asks. 'Peace of mind' Maria tells her. But Dazzler declares that she needs more. 'Revenge is pretty great...' Maria suggests, but Dazzler once again announces that she needs more. 'What do you want?' Maria asks. Dazzler reveals that she wants all the students and faculty of Scott Summers' secret Xavier school records tossed – she wants them free to live their lives. Maria closes her eyes and looks away, telling Dazzler that she can't do that.
'They're just kids. And they really haven't done anything but hide and train' Dazzler exclaims. Maria looks up at some monitors, before turning back to Dazzler and telling her that she can't give her Scott Summers and Emma Frost – no way – that is not going to happen. 'But the others...' Dazzler begins. Maria declares that the others she can make a deal. 'I want clean. Clean records' Dazzler reminds her. 'You bring me that terrorist, I'll give you that and I'll buy you all ice cream, too' Maria replies. 'Done' Dazzler tells her.
Present
'Bye bye' Mystique tells “Cyclops”, the barrel of the gun just inches from his face. Mystique frowns, 'Something wrong?' “Cyclops” asks her. 'I can't pull the trigger' Mystique declares. 'I noticed' “Cyclops” remarks. 'How are you doing this? Who are you?' Mystique asks. 'There she is. There is that sad, scared little girl hiding behind all her masks' “Cyclops” grins.
'Get out of there. She's on to you and she has all kinds of psychic shields up' a telepathic voice calls out. It is the Stepford Cuckoos – Celeste, Phoebe and Mindee, who stand alongside the other students from the New Xavier School – David Bond a.k.a. Hijack, Benjamin Deeds, Fabio Medina a.k.a. Goldballs and Christopher Muse a.k.a. Triage. 'We can only do so much' the blonde Celeste points out. Mindee reveals that Mystique is using anti-psychic nano-technology that they don't know anything about yet. 'Once we lose our grip...' Phoebe remarks.
'Oh, of course. Dazzler' Mystique mutters as she pulls the gun away as Cyclops vanishes, replaced by Dazzler. 'Hey, you. How's it feel to have your life completely taken away from you?' Dazzler asks. Mystique backs away from Dazzler, towards a large window, where she tells Dazzler to get over it . 'Like you were going to do something all that exciting with your life. Borrowing it from you was a favor. You were never more interesting than when I was you' Mystique declares. 'Jokes? Really? Hit it, Hijack' Dazzler calls out.
Hijack responds 'To 11' as he turns a dial on a stereo, which blasts music out into the apartment. 'Uh oh' Mystique utters as she raises the gun, but it is knocked out of her hands by a gold ball which slams into it. Goldballs smiles as he holds up another ball. Dazzler glows with energy as she stands up before Mystique, who looks livid and screams '#$%& you!' to which Dazzler responds by releasing the energy, directly at Mystique which sends Raven crashing back through the window out into the air, high above the ground.
'Man! That felt good!' Dazzler grins. 'Uh, are we going to let her die?' Triage asks as he looks out the window where he sees Mystique plummeting to the ground below. 'Don't ruin the moment for me' Dazzler replies. She turns to Illyana “Magik” Rasputin who is also present, and Magik tells Dazzler that it is her call. 'Magik' Dazzler declares. 'Fine' Magik mutters, before teleporting away, and an instant later, she returns, dropping Raven on the floor. 'Ow!' Raven declares. 'I take it back. You are a better woman than I. I would've killed you if you had done to me what I did to you' Mystique admits.
Dazzler crouches over Mystique, while Magik and the students gather around, 'Believe me, I would. But I'm trying to teach these kids something. Something someone should have taught you' Dazzler replies, raising her fist over Raven.
Present
'Haven't done this for a while... so be gentle. Ready?' Dazzler says into a microphone before she starts to sing, lights energy glittering around her. In the crowd, the students are watching. 'Dude!' someone calls out. 'Wow, she's really good' another exclaims. 'Dude' someone declares. 'Well, she is a professional musician' someone else points out. 'I have one of her records!' another person reveals. At the back of the room, Maria Hill wearing civilian clothing leans against a door.
Afterwards, Dazzler is backstage, drinking some water, and Maria approaches her. 'So. That seemed cathartic' she points out. 'What are you doing here, Miss Hill?' Dazzler asks. 'Came to see the show. I'm a fan. Did I not tell you that? Even the new look is growing on me' Maria replies.
'Okay. So, do it' Dazzler tells her. 'Do what?' Maria asks. 'Drop the other shoe. Tell me how I didn't get Mystique the “right way”... or that she is out on a technicality, or -' Dazzler begins, but Maria smiles and tells her that she has come to give Alison her job back – to welcome her back to SHIELD.  Dazzler listens as Maria reminds her that she hired her to be the Special Mutant Liaison for SHIELD for a reason. 'You're perfect for it. You were then and you are now' she assures her. 'And I – we need one now more than ever' Maria admits. 'Now that you have cleansed your soul of revenge and the bad lady is in jail... you can go back to doing good work. For the right reasons' Maria points out. Dazzler looks away and replies that she just wouldn't know why she was doing it. 'Because there's a teenage you out there. Someone who needs someone like you to keep an eye out for them' Maria tells her, adding that they both know that no matter what he thinks, Scott Summers is not that mutant. Dazzler smiles as Maria adds 'And he never will be'.
Outside, in Greenwich Village, New York City:
'You're thinking of Joan Jett' Benjamin exclaims. 'No, you're thinking of Janis Joplin' Christopher replies. Benjamin tells Christopher that Janis Joplin never wore a bikini on stage. 'Oh, like you would know, Benjamin' Christopher mutters. 'Oh, like you do' Benjamin retorts as he stuffs some pizza into his mouth. 'I will give you each a dollar to stop talking' Phoebe mutters.
'Mister Bond' Celeste remarks as she walks over to David, who is leaning on a wall away from the others. David tells her to stop reading his mind. 'Couldn't help it' Celeste replies. 'Sure you could' David tells her. 'How seriously are you thinking what you are thinking?' Celeste enquires. 'Stop it' David smiles. Celeste suggests he talks to the group about it. 'Stop' David asks her. Celeste puts her lips close to his ears and tells him that he was right – they are going to have to make some choices about their future. 'Summers just up and closed the school around us. Now do we all go to the Jean Grey School or do we do something else?' Celeste remarks. 'Like, why do we have to be X-Men?' David replies.
'We don't' Celeste announces. Christopher, Benjamin, Fabio, Mindee and Phoebe gather around, 'We don't?' Christopher asks, puzzled. 'I didn't know that' Christopher adds. David tells them that they don't. 'Why can't we be something else? The X-Men is Scott Summers' thing. And he left' David points out, adding that there is no rule that says just because they are mutants that they have to be the X-Men. 'Can we be the Fantastic Four?' Fabio asks. 'No' Benjamin exclaims. 'I've always liked them' Fabio smiles. 'If we are not the X-Men, then what are we?' Mindee asks. David smiles, and the Cuckoos smile back, while the other guy looks confused. 'Uh, for those of us who are not part of a psychic hive mind, what is going on?' Benjamin asks. David just smiles back.

Tempe, Arizona, where members of a sports team follows their coach through a busy school:'I'm just worried that it won't be fair' one of the jocks remarks. 'They keep an eye out for these things. It's the semi-finals... you just play the best you can' the coach tells his team. 'But how will we know, coach?' one of the jocks asks. 'If a mutant shows up on the playing field, trust me, you'll know' the coach replies, to which the jock then asks what will happen if a mutant does show up.
'Yeah, what happens when a mutant just shows up... Dad?' a voice demands, and the coach turns to see a young woman wearing punk clothing standing before him. He calls her Blake and asks her what she is doing here. 'Oh, you remember my name' Blake or Animax as she calls herself mocks, before telling her father that she was looking for him. Blake informs her father that she has been in trouble lately, and started to wonder if she was going about things the wrong way, so she wanted to talk to her father, even though he was pretty abusive and abandoned her and her mom. 'But I was looking for – I guess, closure... so here I am'.
Blake continues, pointing out that she hears her father being racist towards her people. 'Go home' Blake's father scowls at her. 'Now, looking at you, I'm thinking that maybe the problem isn't me' Blake remarks, while her father asks her what she means by “her people”. 'Who is this?' one of the jocks asks the coach. Blake frowns and tells her father that maybe it is because he is a drunk, abusive piece of crap that changed his name so he could work here. 'Leave here right now!' the coach tells Blake. 'And you got a job teaching children?' Blake asks, pointing a finger at her father, who shouts 'Now!'
Blake begins to cry, and energy flares up around her. 'Children!' she screams, shouting it again as large monsters rise up from the energy around her. The students begin to run for their lives, while someone calls out 'You have to be kidding me... this is crazy!'
It is Fabio Medina a.k.a. Goldballs, who drops from a jet alongside his teammates Christopher Muse a.k.a. Triage, David Bond a.k.a. Hijack, Benjamin Deeds and Celeste, Phoebe and Irma the Stepford Cuckoos. 'Like, more-crazy-than-normal crazy' Goldballs adds. Triage recognizes Animax and tells his teammates that he always wondered what happened to this animal lady. 'Really, Christopher? I didn't give her a second's thought' Hijack smiles, while Celeste reminds the others that they wanted to be super heroes and to fight the good fight. 'Well, fight!' she tells them as they land, and engage the monsters created by Blake.
'Goldballs!' Fabio shouts as he lands on a car, blasting his signature goldballs from his body, some of them strike monsters which have gathered around Benjamin Deeds, who exclaims 'Oh, stop it, Fabio! Now he yells out Goldballs every ten seconds'.
Animax sees the young mutants and scowls. 'The X-Men? No! How?!' The Cuckoos switch to diamond-form, and Celeste tells her that it is pretty simple, actually. 'You're a mutant, honey' Irma points out, while Phoebe reveals that they have mutant find technology. Animax screams in frustration, while her father the coach looks on, shocked. Irma tells Animax that they have a psychic hivemind. 'Which means we can shut you down' Celeste declares. 'Go to sleep' Phoebe tells her. 'STOP IT!' Blake screams. 'Get out of my head!' she tells the Cuckoos, creating a huge monster which rushes towards the Cuckoos and slams a fist down, sending the Cuckoos careening backwards.
Hijack is standing on a school bus, where Goldballs is releasing more of his power against the creatures. Taking control of the situations, Hijack instructs Triage to help the Cuckoos. 'Benjamin, you're up!' he calls out, as Goldballs once again shouts “Goldballs”, Hijack tells him to stop saying that. Benjamin darts amongst the monsters, and someone records the battle on their smartphone.
'Hold still' Triage tells Celeste as he takes her hand and uses his healing power on her. 'Agh! That hurts!' Celeste exclaims, but Triage assures her he can heal her. 'Hey, what's your name?' Benjamin asks Animax as he moves closer to her. 'Go to hell!' she retorts. 'Seriously, what's this all about?' Benjamin asks, as his appearance suddenly changes, so that he now resembles her. 'What the hell are you doing?' Animax asks him. Benjamin tells her that he is just trying to figure this out, and asks her if this is the best way to get what she wants out of today. 'What are you?' Animax asks him. Benjamin smiles and tells her that he is just like her. 'Can you do me a favor and stop hurting all these people?' he asks. Animax turns to see that her monsters are devastating the school, while the young mutants are doing their best to stop them. She frowns, and Benjamin points out that she isn't mad at these kids. 'Who are you really mad at?' he asks her. Blake looks over to where her father is cowering beside a car. 'You're right' Animax replies, when suddenly, she is struck in the face by a gold disc – and several more slam into her, knocking her over.
'I did it!' Goldballs exclaims as he rushes over and crouches beside the fallen mutant. 'We helped!' Benjamin exclaims, his appearance reverted to his true self. Students gather around, while Fabio shouts 'GOLDBALLS!' and releases a lot more goldballs into the air. Hijack tells someone that they are a new group of heroes, but are having a hard time finding a name. 'All the good ones are taken' Celeste points out. Hijack adds that they were thinking of something like Hero Squad, to which Celeste remarks that it is taken. 'Maybe just “the Squad”' Hijack suggests, but Celeste declares that nothing has been decided. Someone is using their smartphone to film Goldballs dancing, while Benjamin shouts 'Go Goldballs! Go Goldballs! Go Goldballs!'
Later, at the abandoned headquarters of the Hellfire Club in the head of night:'Get out of town!' someone utters. 'Where are we now exactly?' another asks. 'It's the original -' Phoebe begins. '- often imitated but rarely duplicated -' Celeste continues, '- Hellfire Club!' Irma concludes as the seven young mutants examine their surroundings. The place is a mess. 'Didn't this place used to be, like, a weird kinky club full of mutants who were all into weird kinky world domination?' Benjamin asks. Phoebe smiles as she reports that Emma Frost was their White Queen. 'You should have seen how she was dressed back then' Celeste remarks. Benjamin asks what they are doing here, to which Irma reports that they are crashing. 'Here?' yawns Goldballs. Celeste reminds everyone that they are on their own now, and no one is using it. She adds that it is about fourteen steps above the Weapon X remodelled torture chamber they were living in. 'Kind of...' Benjamin utters. Goldballs announces that he doesn't care, and tells everyone he is so tired, he needs to sleep. Celeste tells him to pick a room. 'This isn't weird at all...' Fabio mutters as he enters a room which looks like it was used by the White Queen, and he flops down on the bed, '...Goldballs...' he mutters to himself as he falls asleep.
The next morning:Good morning!' Fabio tells everyone as he enters the kitchen, where the others are eating breakfast, drinking coffee, or doing their nails. 'Dude, have you been asleep this whole time?' Christopher asks. 'I guess' Fabio replies, stretching. He then asks if there is food for him. 'You might want to sit down for this' Christopher tells Fabio, who asks 'For what?' David holds up his smartphone and points at the screen. 'For this' he tells Fabio, who sees himself on the screen shouting “Goldballs”. Wide-eyed, Fabio asks if that is online. David informs him that got over ten million hits in one night. 'You're trending, dude' Irma smiles. Fabio asks if people are making fun of him, but David tells him that people love him. Benjamin opens up a bag and tells the others that he went out and got burner phones, in case anyone wants to call anyone. Fabio looks at one of the phones and wonders if he should call his parents and tell them that he is okay.
'Oh, dear Lord! Fabio? Is – that you? Oh my God!' Mrs Medina exclaims over the phone. 'Mom! You don't have to tell. It's a phone' Fabio tells his mother, pulling his ear away from the phone. 'They are calling for you!' Mrs Medina tells her son. Who? What?' Fabio asks. 'They're all calling for you! The news is here! They saw you on the internets!' Mrs Medina exclaims as she sits on a sofa inside her living room. Her husband sits opposite her, while a reporter is perched on the arm of a chair, and a video camera rests in front of them. 'Is that him?' the reporter asks. 'They did? How did they know it was me?' Fabio asks his mother. She tells him that she doesn't know, and that she doesn't know what to say to them, so she said that they are very proud of him – that he is a super hero. 'No! You don't confirm it's me! You don't tell them!' Fabio exclaims, covering his face with his free hand. 'Oh, uh, it might be too late for that' Mrs Medina tells her son. 'Mom!' Fabio exclaims, before going wide-eyed as his mother announces that the Tonight Show called, and they want him on the show.
Later, Goldballs waits in the wings as the host exclaims 'He's the internet sensation that everyone is talking about. A new super hero. Part of something called the Hero Squad. He's here with us tonight... his real name is Fabio Medina but you all know him – as Goldballs!'
Fabio enters the stage, smiling and waving. He appears on the cover to a magazine, and spends time signing photos for fans. He battles the Grey Gargoyle, shouting his usual “Goldballs!” as he releases his power against the villain. Another interview, where the host tells him that what she likes about him is that he doesn't look like the typical hero figure, which she thinks is part of what people are responding to. 'This is how God made me, right? I'm kind of thick and Hispanic'. Fabio adds that he is not going to hide who he is, and no one should ever have to. 'I'm proud of who I am' he announces. Another battle, this time against the Mad Thinker, followed by another interview, where one of the hosts holds up a goldball and declares that it is heavy. 'It's made of gold' Fabio explains. 'Real gold?' the host asks. 'Yeah, but it only lasts -' Fabio starts to explain, before the goldball disappears. 'Oh my God! That is amazing!' the host smiles.
Another battle, this time against the Mole Man, followed by another magazine cover, which Goldballs shares with Sam Wilson, Carol Danvers and Wiccan and Hulkling.
A night out dancing, 'Oh, good Lord!' Benjamin Deeds exclaims. 'This is our life now!' Triage declares. 'Goldballs!' Fabio shouts on the dancefloor.
Mr and Mrs Medina are involved in another interview, where the host tells them that they must be very proud of their son. 'Oh, yes. He is a good boy' Mrs Medina replies, while her husband admits that when they first found out he was a mutant, he was scared of him, and then he disappeared and they didn't know what was going to happen. 'Wait, Fabio, your son, is a mutant?' the surprised host asks on the live interview. 'Uh, yes. He makes gold balls' Mr Medina replies. 'It's his mutant power'. The host asks the Medinas why they think he has been keeping his mutant genealogy a secret. Mrs Medina looks at her husband, who tugs on his collar, 'Um...' he starts to reply.
Another battle, this time against Klaw, who is knocked out when Fabio shouts 'Goldballs!' and fires several globes at the villain. The rain pours down, and as the Hero Squad stands over the defeated Klaw, Goldballs remarks 'Wow. That – that was a hard one. Celeste leans over Klaw and tells the others that this is a big Avengers bad guy. Hijack asks if everyone is all right, while Triage is over with Benjamin, and reports that he is a little wobbly, but he has him. 'Wow! Avengers villains! That should up our rep points big -' Goldballs begins, when suddenly, a glass bottle is thrown at his face, and blood spurts out of his neck where a shard of glass is stuck. 'Oh my God!' Celeste exclaims as she runs over to him.
'You mutant! You liar!' a woman in a mob calls out. She holds another glass bottle at the ready, while others carry bats or have their fists clenched. Goldballs sinks down as more bottles and rocks are hurled at him. 'MUTIE!' someone shouts. The Stepford Cuckoos stand together, their eyes glow, '#$%&#$% racist monsters! Die!' Phoebe shouts, and immediately the angry woman who threw the bottle starts to cough up blood. 'I can heal him! I can heal him!' Triage utters as he rushes over to Goldballs. 'What do you need me to do?' Benjamin asks, following Triage, who tells him to pull the glass out of Fabio's neck, or the heal will just make it worse. Hijack steps between the Stepford Sisters and the mob, 'Stop! No! You can't – stop!' he tells them, while the woman's body contorts backwards, and the policce arrive on scene. 'Everyone, hands over your heads now!' an officer shouts, aiming his weapon towards the young mutants. 'Stepfords! Stop!' Hijack exclaims, grabbing Celeste and shaking her. 'We – we – oh no...' she utters. The police surround the young mutants, and one of them tells them to get on the ground.
The angry woman from the mob sits up and covers her bloody mouth. 'This is – bad. Yeah' the Stepford Sisters utter. Triage is tending to Fabio, 'Come on...' he utters. Blood pours out of Fabio's neck and mouth, 'Oh no...' Triage exclaims, as the others look back through the rain to their teammates.
The Jean Grey School, Storm and Iceman open the front door. 'Can we help you?' Storm asks. Standing before her are the Hero Squad. Celeste, Phoebe, Irma, Triage, Benjamin, Hijack and Goldballs. They are all live, but look terrible. 'We – we thought we were ready to go out there and be super heroes' Hijack explains. 'But we're clearly not' Benjamin points out. 'Maybe not. But more importantly, the world doesn't seem that ready for us' Triage remarks. 'Are you accepting applications, Madam Storm?' Celeste enquires, while Phoebe declares that they need help. Iceman smiles at the Hero Squad, and Storm tells them to come inside, which they do.

untitled
Detroit, Michigan, several jeeps and trucks speed down a deserted street. They all have “Someday” printed on the side of the vehicles. Inside one of them, a passenger remarks '- put six guys into intensive care... another two into the morgue'. Someone in one of the trucks says 'It's not like we're doing anything wrong. These people... they want our help, right? They paid for out services!' He adds that they aren't hurting anybody, to which the driver declares that he doesn't care. 'You hear things, y'know? About R&D... crazy stuff. But that's not my department... not my -' he adds, when suddenly, the truck is lifted into the air, as Magneto makes his entrance.
He introduces himself, but tells the men in the vehicles that he assumes they already know who he is, and why he is here. 'Your employers... Someday Enterprises... have drawn my ire'. He announces that he is claiming these vehicles, and their cargo, as his own. Magneto, whose real name is Max Eisenhardt, but who is most commonly called Erik Lehnsherr, grits his teeth and tells the men to pray that he does not also claim their miserable lives.
A door to one of the vehicles opens, and a man inside falls from it. Other Someday Enterprises employees start to open fire at Magneto, who easily throws up a force field around himself. 'Perhaps you do not know me' he remarks. 'Otherwise, you would have realized your weapons are useless against me...' he points out, as the bullets are sent flying back to the person who fired them striking them. '...and that my warnings are sincere' Magneto declares, warning them not to make him repeat himself.
'He's gonna kill us! All units! Push him back! He might be a tough sonovabitch, but he's just one man!' one of the drivers in a jeep still on the ground radios to the other vehicles, but suddenly: 'BOO!' snarls Victor “Sabretooth” Creed as he lands on the front of the vehicle, startling the wide-eyed driver. Creed then shoves his fist through the windscreen, and his claws reach out to grab the driver – but stop an inch from his face. The driver is petrified, and Creed tells him that there was a time he would have scooped his brains out before he even had the chance to soil his britches. Creed gets off the jeep and starts to walk away, 'Lucky for you, I'm the kinder, gentler Sabretooth. Not so lucky or my heightened sense of smell. Oof' Creed remarks, while the driver covers his face with one of his hands.
'Toilet humor. Somehow appropriate coming from someone with your pedigree, Creed. I wonder... as these poor fools are getting trounced... do they still appreciate your everyman wit... or are they more enamored by my sheer awesomeness?' Monet St Croix grins as she flies above Creed, carrying one of the Someday Enterprises soldiers.
Sabretooth glances up at Monet and tells her 'Ain't nobody as impressed by you... as you are, Monet'. 'Maybe not. But can you blame me?' Monet replies as she throws the soldier down to the ground in front of Creed. 'Guess not, frail' Creed tells her. Monet scowls and warns him not to call her “frail”.
Nearby, Betsy “Psylocke” Braddock kicks one of the soldiers backwards, 'Are you two still bickering? Why not just get a room?' she asks them, before using her telepathy to enter one of the soldiers' minds. 'No – no – in my head! In my head!' he cries out. 'Why, Psylocke... do I detect a hint of jealousy?' Monet asks. 'Not hardly' Betsy replies quickly. Betsy leaps into the air, kicking another soldier back while at the same time using her sword to slice the weapon of another soldier in half. 'But if you have time to squabble... or flirt – if that's what you two are doing... then I can't be convinced we were all needed for this operation. I mean, look at this' Betsy declares. 'Talk about bloody overkill' she adds as her sword slice another weapon.
'Really? Really? Do you not understand that I'm bulletproof?' Monet calls out as two soldiers open fire at her, the bullets just falling off of her. Creed grabs one of the Someday Enterprises soldiers and offers some friendly advice: 'Stay down. With this crew, you want to walk out of here... play dead'.
Magneto uses his power to move some large metal beams, slamming them into the soldiers, 'We could have settled this peacefully...but your predictability... your eagerness to be crushed... is not without its pleasures' he remarks, before he drops the truck back to the ground, and lands nearby it himself. He touches his face and utters that he pushed himself too hard, and his powers are now overtaxed. 'Death... still pulling at me... trying to drag me back' Magneto tells himself. 'Go, man! Go! Get out of here!' the soldier in the passenger seat of the truck shouts to the driver. 'Run 'em down if you have to!' he adds, as the truck speeds into motion.
'The truck -' Magneto says to Psylocke, who tells him that she is on it. 'Connection established' Psylocke remarks as she looks to the sky, where the X-Men's jet is hovering. 'I'll never get used to it... so vast... so labyrinthine... so empty. There's really nothing left, is there? He's just a hunter... a predator drone' Psylocke remarks, as from the jet, something strikes downwards, and several shards are fired at the truck's windscreen, which shatters. 'Archangel is a go!' Psylocke reports as the solemn Archangel flies up away from the truck, which explodes.
Betsy hangs her head as she uses her telepathy to reach out to Warren Worthington III, 'Warren. Please... if you're in there... give me something'. She looks up as he comes to a halt, hovering nearby, he stares blankly back at her. '... a twitch... a wink... one of those infuriating half-smirks of yours... any sign to let me know you hear me when I say – I'm sorry'- But she gets no response.
Sabretooth and Monet approach the damaged truck, and Sabretooth remarks that Betsy is dancing across a minefield, spending too much time trying to get inside the Angel's head. 'You'd think you of all people could appreciate a soft spot for the dormant killer, Creed' Monet points out. 'You got something you want to say, M?' Creed replies. Monet smiles and tells him not to let his mane get all bristly. 'I'm not trying to start a fight. Not yet, anyway. I just can't help playing with my food' Monet grins.
A soldier emerges from the wreckage of the truck and starts to crawl away. '...weren't hurting anyone... we're a public service... they wanted our help' he claims. 'Who... the hell... who do you think you are?' he asks, turning, to see Magneto! Monet! Archangel! Psylocke! Sabretooth! Standing amongst the wreckage of the trucks. 'Take a nap' Psylocke tells the Someday Enterprises employee, taking him out with a psychic surge.
'Now. Unless anyone has an objection...' Magneto begins as he uses his power to rip the back door off one of the trucks, and pull several capsules from it. 'Look at them... these mutants... placing themselves in suspended animation... so blissfully unaware of what is happening around them... so damnably selfish' he declares. The capsules are placed on the ground and Creed goes over to one of them, 'They're scared, Erik. Scared of the big, bad world. Scared of the Terrigen Mists' he points out. But Magneto declares that they are fools. 'They world is out to get them... to destroy them. What else is new?' He opens the capsules with a magnetic pulse, and a woman emerges from one of them, 'Where am I? How much time has passed? Can we breathe? Are the mists gone?' she asks. 'Is it safe?' she exclaims, collapsing to the ground. She covers her face with her hands as Betsy goes over to her and remarks 'I'm afraid not'.
Creed sniffs the air and picks up a scent of blood. 'Somebody's hurt' he tells the others. 'Over here!' Monet calls out as she finds one of the mutants with a shard of shrapnel through their chest. 'He's bleeding out – fast' Monet reports. Betsy announces that there is a chance to save him, as one of these mutants is a healer.
'Going somewhere?' Monet asks as she appears in front of a bearded man who started to walk away from the site. 'You wouldn't just leave your fellow mutant to choke to death on his own blood... would you?' Monet enquires. The man hangs his head and remarks that he never wanted this – he never wanted to be a mutant. 'I just... wanted to dream'. 'Funny. I don't remember asking for your sad little life story. But whatever. Wakey wakey' Monet mocks. The healer walks over to the capsule with the injured mutant, 'I paid good money... everything I had... just to dream' he mutters as he uses his power to safely restore the other mutant, who wakes, wide-eyed and gasping.
The healer gets up, 'I did it, all right? Now... can you just let us go back to sleep? Please? Until all this... horror has passed?' 'Horror?' Magneto enquires, stating that Homo Superior is at a crossroads, teetering on the edge of a blade. He reminds the mutants that the Terrigen Mists sweeping across the world are toxic to their kind, and with no new mutants manifesting, this pathetic lot counts among those who should be seen out there in the world. 'And the X-Men... those who would have protected you... have gone into hiding' Magneto remarks, telling the mutants that they have no idea what true horror looks like. 'So many others have watched it unfold... so many mutants have died with their eyes open. Why would I let you dream... when the dream is dying all around you?'
Magneto instructs the mutants to go, to leave this place and find help, or to help others like them. He warns them that if he sees them selling themselves out again, he won't care if they did it because they were afraid – instead, he will recognize them as an enemy to mutantkind, and will deal with them accordingly. With that, the rescued mutants leave, as do Magneto and his group in the jet.
Magneto pilots the jet and Betsy sits at his side. She explains to him that the Blackbird is equipped with a sophisticated autopilot, so there is no need for his hands on approach. Magneto tells her that he knows, but that piloting the ship himself gives him the illusion that he has control over something. “Control” Betsy repeats. 'The way you cut those mutants... those sleepers... loose... without any hope for the future or any notion of how to move forward' she points out, telling Erik that she would hate to think that he is using them as some sort of control group to monitor the chances of mutants surviving on their own, and reminds him that she is here because she wants to help their people. 'And we are' Magneto assures Betsy, explaining that Someday Enterprises is capitalizing on desperation, taking payment from frightened mutants, putting them in stasis so they can bypass the tribulations and awaken in a better world. 'But we both know that someday is lying...and that they have ulterior motives. Just as we both know... why you're really here, Elizabeth' Magneto remarks, as Archangel stands at the back of the jet.
Betsy goes silent, before asking Magneto to let her take the wheel for a bit. 'Be my guest. We all have our illusions' Magneto points out as Betsy takes the controls of the Blackbird, and tells Erik that it might be nice to have a healer in their ranks, and that with the growing unrest, with the Terrigen Mists, maybe they could have used a safe haven. Magneto looks pensive, and tells Betsy that more than once he has tricked himself into believing that was possible – but such a thing is a fantasy.
Back in the city, several desperate people have gathered under a freeway bridge. A woman coughs, as her son sits beside her and tells her that it is all right. 'You're gonna be all right. I'll take care of you' the boy utters. 'Maybe... maybe I can help' a voice states, and the boy looks up to see the bearded mutant healer standing over him. The healer kneels next to the woman and tells her to relax, as this will only take a minute. His power flows over, and the woman looks surprised, 'I feel... the heaviness... in my chest... my throat... it's gone!' she utters, before hugging her son and asking the healer how he did that. 'Thank you so -' she begins, but the healer tells her that she doesn't need to thank him. 'I just -' he begins, before suddenly, he is shot in the head and collapses.
'Sorry for the mess. But this guy... your savior... he had to die. And – before you go there – this wasn't an act of hate. Not totally. I got no problem with him being a mutant' the shooter announces.
Stepping into view and the hooded man has green skin and large teeth. He carries a large weapon and his clothing is covered in ammo and assorted pouches. He is flanked by a fiery-blue skeletal man, a red-skinned man with a long tail, and large hulking figure. They are Gauntlet! Deadbolt! Spyne! Tusk! Collectively known as the Dark Riders, Gauntlet declares that this problem is this mutant is – or was – a healer, an affront to nature, a spit wad in the face of natural selection. 'Only the strong are meant to survive... and mutants had their chance' he points out, declaring that it is all right, though, because the Dark Riders are here – and they are going to set things right!

untitled
San Francisco, California:In an office, people are going about business in their cubicles. 'Hey, Clarice. We on for happy hour tonight? A bunch of people are going' an older woman calls out to a younger blonde woman who walks past her cubicle. 'Wouldn't miss it' Clarice smiles as she carries on down the path between cubicles.
'Miss Kenner?' a voice asks, and Clarice turns to see two men approaching her. One of them informs her that they are from security services. 'We'd like to have a word' he adds. Clarice replies that she is just going out on her lunch break. 'What is this about?' she asks. The other security official asks her to come with them. 'Well, I guess nothing lasts forever' Clarice smirks as her form suddenly changes – into the blue-skinned mutant Mystique a.k.a. Raven Darkholme. 'It's too bad, really. I liked being Clarice. She had friends... a social life. On the other hand, she never got to cut loose – like this!' Mystique remarks as she kicks one of the security officials in the face. She then punches the other, drawing blood. 'Someone point me to HR' Mystique jokes. 'I need to report some workplace violence' she remarks as several more security officials run towards her.
One of them is about to strike her with a taser, 'Take it easy and nobody has to get -' he begins, but Mystique kicks the taser from his grasp and uses the weapon on him, knocking him back into a desk, sending folders and stationery flying into the air. 'Come on now. You know better' Mystique remarks, grabbing another security officer in a headlock. 'Someone always gets hurt' she grins, licking her lips, while one of the office workers can be seen running away.
The office is inside a building called Someday, and a man in a suit walks from the building towards a car parked in the lot outside. 'Mystique? Are you all right? Are you hurt?' a voice calls out from inside the car. The man gets into the car, 'I'm fine... it's just... I don't know how they found me. After two weeks... the whole operation is blown' Mystique remarks as she switches back to her default form, and finds two people in Hellfire Club guard costumes sitting in the car, one in the driver's seat. 'As long as you dug up some useful intel on Someday, what does it matter?' one of them asks, pointing out that they can always start over again, once things have cooled down. Mystique asks the guard what his name is, and he tells her it is Reeves. 'Well, Reeves... if you like your tongue where it is, I suggest you keep your mouth shut' she warns him. Mystique adds that the details of what she found are way out of Reeves' paygrade, and declares that as far as starting out again goes, time, among other things, is not on their side.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, Michigan, darkness shrouds the County Medical Examiner's ofice, which, save for the bodies, is all but empty – and except for the one long figure that stalks the facility. Max Eisenhartd better known as Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a. Magneto looks at the body bags, 'He's here...somewhere amidst these bodies...amidst these numbers referencing unidentified corpses'. Suddenly, a telepathic call rom Betsy “Psylocke” Braddock tells Magneto 'That's right. We already know the healer came to a sticky end. Just like we know it's our fault he's there'. Betsy is inside the Blackbird jet, and is using Cerebro to enhance her psionic abilities, Betsy suggests to Magneto that instead of lurking around the ME's office, they ind whoever killed him. A map appears on the screen before her, and Betsy offers to call up a list of the usual suspects, then they can be on their way. But Magneto tells her that there is value in seeing something first hand. Betsy asks Magneto if he was so concerned about the healer then why he sent him away. 'If we...if you hadn't tossed him to the wolves...he might still be alive' she points out.
'I find that... unlikely' Magneto replies as he uses his control over metal to open the door to a cold store room, reminding Betsy that the world has turned against them. 'The Terrigen Mists are killing our kind. Do you realize how offensive I find that? Mists. Not so different from gas' he points out. Magneto lifts a finger, controlling the metal zip on one of the body bags, which slides open. 'This man... was never meant to survive' Magneto tells Betsy, as he looks down at the body of the bearded healer. Magneto reports that the bearded healer was killed by a concentrated energy blast, and that there is no bullet to examine, no striation marks to scrutinize. 'This was no simple hate crime. And I believe the pattern is becoming painfully obvious' he adds. Betsy looks at her monitors, depicting the headshots of three mutants. Betsy states that there have been three other deaths in the last couple o days – Marc Dale and Sister Salvation, also mutants with the power to heal, and a third person who they don't know much about, but reports indicated he had a “healing voice”.
Magneto declares that all o their other endeavors will have to wait, that this takes precedence. He adds that they need to identify and locate as many other potential targets as possible. Betsy reports that she has already pinpointed a couple of candidates that they might consider high-risk, and on screen, images of Joshua Foley a.k.a. Elixir and Christopher Muse a.k.a. Triage appear. 'I can -' Betsy begins, when suddenly, she sees Archangel's face before her. Betsy is confused, 'Warren? What are you doing here? How did you get in my...' she calls out, but his image is gone.
'Elizabeth? Are you all right?' Magneto asks. Betsy gets hold of herself and replies that she is fine, that she just lost focus for a second. She informs Magneto that she will alert Sabretooth and Monet. 'While we track down Triage... we'll send them to retrieve Elixir'.
Cooper's Mountain, Vermont, a purple car speeds down a deserted road, where inside the car Monet St Croix tells Victor “Sabretooth” Creed to slow down, and remarks that he is as dangerous behind the wheel as he is in a fight. 'I've been driving since before you were born, girl' Creed retorts. 'Yes, please remind me about how old and out-of-touch you are' Monet smirks, while reminding Creed that they can't help anyone if he drives them of the road and into a fiery death. 'Healing actor would get me through a wreck. And you'd be all right, too. You're sturdy' Creed points out. 'So annoying' Monet mutters, before glancing out the window and remarking to Creed that she guesses this is all a little unsettling for him – going on a rescue op, instead of a search and destroy slaughter-fest. 'Day's still young' Creed points out.
They come to a stop near a large building. Stepping out of the car, fall leaves tumble around them, and Creed informs Monet that he is picking up several scents, but nothing out of the ordinary. Monet tells Creed that she sometimes wonders if he is just making up the heightened senses thing, trying to live up to Wolverine's legend. 'If it helps at all, you smell better than, like...80% of the people I've worked with' Creed announces. '80%? And, who, pray tell, smells better?' Monet enquires. 'Rogue. Polaris'. Sabretooth replies. 'Lady Mastermind' he adds, to which Monet tells him he is just being cruel. Creed then remarks that Cable smells like old spice and gunpowder, which he thinks is nice. He turns to Monet and asks her what she knows about this Elixir kid. Monet reveals that his healing capabilities are of the charts – mending wounds, curing disease, creating entire organs from nothing, but that he can use his gifts to inflict harm, too, which she understands has always weighed heavily on his conscience. 'I'm sure you can relate' Monet remarks.
'Only familiar with one side of that coin, frail' Creed replies as they approach the building, and he adds that he would never have felt comfortable coming to a place like this, seeking solace and inner peace, even if they would have taken him in. Several men are outside of the building, unloading boxes of donated goods from cars. One of them looks up at the new arrivals, 'Oh...um...hello. May I help you?' he asks. 'You got a kid by the name of -' Creed begins, but Monet interrupts him, smiling, she informs the man that they are looking for a friend of theirs, Joshua Foley. The man turns to the building and reveals that he is here, and that Josh told them he might have unusual visitors from time to time. 'Told you. You mean he warned you' Creed points out. The man leads them to the entrance of the building. 'I don't know. Maybe, I suppose. I've always gotten the impression...he could take care of himself' the man replies, and once inside, amnongst boxes and racks of clothing, he walks over to Josh, and informs him that he has company. 'Well, whoever it is, tell them we can talk after I'm done -' Elixir begins to reply, before looking up and seeing Monet and Sabretooth.
'Gotta admit, you're the last people I expected to come looking for me' Josh remarks, hanging his head, the young mutant asks if it is even worse out there than he thought. 'The whole world really has turned upside down. But – whatever you want with me – you're wasting your time' Josh declares, explaining that he came here to figure out who he is. 'And maybe I've done that. Some of it, at least. But I'm not done...not by a long shot. This is my life now' Josh explains. Monet inorms Josh that they are not here to recruit him, but help him, and reveals that there is someone out there doing bad things to healers like him. 'And if they come here...my guess is they wouldn't mind hurting this new family of yours to get to you' Monet adds. 'Wait – you're here to protect me? You – and him?' Josh asks, surprised. 'I'm sure you can understand if I'm hesitant' Josh declares, to which Sabretooth remarks 'At least I'm not hiding in some church when I could be out there doing some good'. Josh turns and starts to fold some clothing, 'Yeah. Whatever. I tried to hgelp people. Maybe I have. But I don't know how much good I've done. And I've hurt people, too' he points out, adding that these powers of his, he feels like he has only scratched the surface of what he can do – and it scares him, what he might be capable of.
Monet puts a hand on Josh's shoulder and assures him that they are not trying to belittle that. 'But – whether you buy it or not – you're in danger here. Sooner or later -' Monet begins, when suddenly, Sabretooth frowns, then leaps at Monet and Josh, pushing them to the ground as an explosion occurs nearby. Weapons fire strike Creed in the back as he holds Monet close to him. 'You're bleeding all over me, Creed! Stop playing hero and get off me so I can deal with whoever's shooting at us!' Monet exclaims. When the weapons fire stops, Creed looks around and remarks that he should have sensed them long before he did. Monet reports that she is not picking up and surface thoughts on telepathic sweeps, meaning their attackers are somehow masked. The Dark Rider called Barrage steps into view, 'Give the lady a cookie! You don't see us sneaking up on you... until it's too late. We're like natural selection that way' he smirks.
'This jackass wants to talk natural selection? Rolling up on me like that...he just nominated himself for a Darwin Award!' Creed snarls. There is a hissing sound, and suddenly, the lizard-like Dark Rider called Spyne sneaks up behind Monet and slashes her side with his clawed hand. Monet cries out, as Spyne move towards Elixir, and snaps his jaggged teeth-filled mouth in front of him. Josh screams in fear, but Monet gathers herself and grabs Spyne by his tail, 'I'll take care of this freak! Creed, get Elixir out of here!' Monet declares as she bursts through the side of the church, flying upwards, when suddenly, she is shot at, and drops Spyne as she falls to the ground, landing amongst the bodies of the volunteers who were outside when she and Creed arrived. 'That shot...can't see them...concealed...where did...' Monet utters as she tries to get to her feet, she goes wide-eyed, shocked as she sees the bodies of the volunteers around her. The fiery blue skeletal Dark Rider called Deadbolt appears before Monet and warns her that she is next. 'The Dark Riders aren't here for you...but you get in the way...you get culled with the rest of your -' he begins, but Monet smacks him in the face, 'Oh – SHUT UP!' she shouts.
Monet then calls out to Sabretooth, reporting that the Dark Riders have slaughtered everyone out front. 'Get Elixir clear – take him out the back!' she exclaims. Sabretooth punches Barrage, knocking the Dark Rider back and causing the guns attached to his arms to fire in either direction. 'You heard that, kid? Get out of here!' Sabretooth tels Elixir. 'Go! I'll hold this guy off!' Sabretooth snarls, but the wide-eyed Josh replies that he can't just leave them, he can't leave his friends. 'I can help. I can heal them. I can heal them -' he remarks as he heads outside, and power starts to flow around him, extending to the slain volunteers, who gasp as they are returned to life. Monet looks shocked, 'What are you doing? You've never been able to do anything like this before!' she points out. Creed looks out at Elixir, and asks him if he doesn't recognize a trap when he sees one? Suddenly, there is the fire of a weapon, and Elixir's chest blows open. 'ELIXIR!' Monet screams. 'Who -' she asks, while up on the top of the church roof, Gauntlet stands, his weapon smoldering. 'Job's done. Another one in the “win” column. We keep it up and sooner or later Akkaba will be forced to take note' he tells Psynapse who is next to him.
Gauntlet instructs Psynapse to black them out and make their exit. 'You got it, boss' Psynapse replies, as Gauntlet remarks that they can give these muties a chance to mourn their losses. Monet touches Elixir's hand, as Sabretooth goes over towards her and tells her that they can't stay out here, they gotta move Elixir. 'Sniper's got us dead to -' Creed begins, before looking around, 'Where'd thy go? They're just leaving us here? They're not gonna gun us down?' he asks. Sitting beside Elixir's body, Monet tells Sabretooth that they don't need to – as they did what they came to do.

Untitled
Seattle, Washington, at an M-Pox crisis center:Guards stand in front of the center to keep the protesters at bay. They carry signs that read “Mutants = Disease,” “No Mutants, No M-Pox,” “Don't bring sickness” and so on. Among the protesters stand Max Eisenhardt a.k.a. Erik Lehnsherr, better known simply as Magneto, and Betsy “Psylocke” Braddock. Betsy telepathically tells Magneto that she knows what he is thinking, but that he needs to try and keep himself in check. 'We don't need the attention right now' she points out, explaining that she can tweak the surface thoughts of everyone in the crowd so long as they are distracted, meaning they can't see them. 'Maybe they should, Elizabeth' Magneto replies. 'Maybe' Psylocke agrees, before reminding him that they are not here to terrorize these people. Magneto remarks that he hasn't abandoned those ideals, it is more like he has put them on hold. 'Please, don't try to joke' Betsy tells him, pointing out that it only makes him sound even barmier than usual. 'Who's joking?' Magneto asks.
They walk past the guards and enter a tent, where Betsy sees a young mutant, and calls out to him, 'Christopher Muse... Triage... we need you to come with us'. Without looking up, Triage replies 'Not now. Can't you see I'm busy?' as his hand waves over a mutant on a table before him, and cures of her of the M-Pox disease covering her body.
Sweat pours down Triage's face, then he rubs his eyes and turns to Psylocke, 'Now... you were saying?' he asks. 'The... the M-Pox... you cured it!' Betsy exclaims. But Triage hangs his head and tells her not to be too impressed, as it is only temporary. He reveals that he can heal the symptoms, but that eventually they come back. He looks at Magneto, and tells him that he thought he was dead or something. 'But here you are'. Triage tells them that he doesn't know what they want with him, but that he is done – done with the X-Men. 'I'm all for helping mutants... but I'll do it in my own way' Triage declares. As other mutants lay in beds nearby, Triage tells Magneto and Betsy that he thinks they can both see this is where someone with his gifts is needed.
Magneto informs Triage that they are not here to recruit him. 'But you will come with us' he declares. 'What? You're kidnapping me?' Triage asks. 'That is an option' Magneto warns him. Suddenly, Betsy informs Magneto that they are here – she is picking up three of them – the Dark Riders! Indeed, outside, Barrage, Harddrive and Hurricane have materialized. 'What's going on? Who are the Dark Riders?' Triage asks. 'Didn't we tell you? All mutant healers have been marked for death. You're next' Betsy declares. Magneto peers out the tent and informs Betsy that he will deal with the Dark Riders. Betsy reminds him to keep them alive – at least for a bit. 'I'll see what I can do... but I make no promises' Magneto responds.
Barrage remarks that their quarry is nearby, and instructs Hurricane to flush him out. Hurricane raises his hands and creates a mighty storm, which whips through the crisis center. 'What is this?' one o the protesters asks. '– the mutants?' another of them suggests, as their anti-mutant billboards and blown from their grasp, and one woman covers her eyes and screams. Suddenly, 'Oh my God!' another protester declares as Magneto appears above them. 'He's come or us!' a man cries out.
Magneto smirks, as Betsy telepathically tells him 'You're enjoying this, aren't you, Erik? You enjoy scaring the spit out of anyone watching'. She tells him to keep his eyes on the prize. Magneto surrounds himself in a force field and asks Betsy if she is reading his thoughts. 'I'm allowing you to maintain telepathic contact. But take advantage of my cooperation... and I'll cast you out so forcibly you'll have a nosebleed for a week'. Betsy responds by telling Magneto not to worry about her, as she wouldn't dream of digging too deeply in that brain of his. 'Just do your job... and keep them busy long enough for me to get a fix on their thoughts'.
Magneto rips up some concrete with metal bars through it and uses it to deflect an attack from Barrage. 'Make it quick, won't you?' Magneto declares. Betsy announces that the Dark Riders have been trained to resist psychic intrusion, so as long as they are fighting Magneto, as long as they are distracted, she can breach their defenses. Triage uses his power to temporarily heal another patient. 'I'm going to help you' he tells them, while Betsy concentrates hard, enters the minds of the three Dark Riders as they unleash their powers against Magneto, who holds them back with a force field. Betsy reports that their minds are all twisted with propaganda and brainwashing. 'They think they're on some holy crusade...but I've got everything we need. They're all yours' Betsy assures Magneto, who smiles, then sends shards of metal towards all three of the Dark Riders, causing Harddrive to scream as he is struck in the neck. 'Hardrive... port us out!' Barrage orders. Magneto's attack ends, and Barrage goes over to Hurricane who has been struck in the stomach, while Harddrive lies on the ground. 'I...can...I can try' he utters, and an instant later, they vanish.
'Magneto. Contact with the Riders has been lost. Are they dead?' Betsy asks via their telepathic link. 'Not yet' Magneto tells her. 'You shut me out' Betsy declares as Magneto returns to the tent. 'Consider it a kindness' Magneto suggests, informing Betsy that she does not want to know his thoughts at the moment. He turns to Triage and tells him that, as Psylocke mentioned, they need him to come with them, unaware that a small camera nearby is recording them. “Come with me if you want to live” Triage quotes. 'Yeah... I've seen the movie. But I'm not just leaving these people. I'm needed here' Triage declares.
Magneto assures Triage that the Dark Riders will not forget their quest to assassinate him, and next time, they will come in greater numbers. 'They will cut through your patients in order to get to you'. Triage stands on the protesters signs that lay strewn on the ground and hangs his head. Magneto tells him that he can give him a few minutes, to heal those he can, but that then they must leave this place. 'These killers...you're going to stop them? You're going to protect the healers?' Triage asks. 'You'll protect us so we can get back to doing something good with our powers?' he enquires. 'That's the plan, Christopher. But the Riders have a head start. Right now, we're just trying to head them off... before they reach their next targets' Betsy explains.
At that moment, a temple in Tibet, where the glamorous Monet St Croix descends:She enters the temple, 'Hello?' she calls out, before introducing herself and announcing that she is here with a warning. 'I know who you are. And I know of the grim tidings that have brought you before me' a voice responds from within the darkened temple. 'While I appreciate your concern... I hope you will also respect my wishes when I say... I have no intention of leaving this place'.
Monet approaches the man sitting in the temple with a mask over his face and address him as Shen Xorn. 'I understand your desire for isolation... but there are agencies at work... people who are coming after any mutant who has the power to heal. And that includes you' Monet explains. Xorn informs Monet that it is not isolation which he desires, and that her company, as fleeting as it may be, is most welcome. 'Pardon me, but I'm not sure you grasp the gravity of the situation... our people are dying' Monet declares. Monet explains that Terrigen Mists are sweeping across the world, and when mutants are exposed to these vapors, they are done for. 'If that wasn't bad enough, someone is gunning for healers like yourself. I'm not sure how you can be so -' Monet begins.  Xorn interrupts her: 'Tea?'
A teapot and two cups float towards them, as Xorn reveals that he has been here for so long, and his meditations require a great deal of time. 'But – I must admit – the loneliness is sometimes a bit much'. Monet holds her cup as the teapot pours the drink into it, and she tells Xorn that is all the more reason for him to come with her, suggesting he use it as an opportunity to socialize, while they protect him. Xorn holds the teacup and tells Monet that he hopes she does not think him rude for not drinking in front o her, explaining that she might find it unsettling, just like he might find the world beyond these walls disconcerting and troubling. He adds that although he might not be as safe here, in seclusion, he thinks the rest of the world would be much safer indeed, at least until his meditations are complete. 'If the mists find me here, so be it' Xorn declares, adding that if these hunters that Monet warns him about come for him, then perhaps he will offer them tea. 'In any case... I am prepared for the ate that lies before me' Xorn announces.
The Blackbird jet streaks through the air, inside, Magneto, Betsy and Triage apparently unaware a small camera-like device has been stuck to the jet. Triage asks Magneto to tell him about the Dark Riders, and why they want him dead. 'Not just you, Christopher, all mutant healers' Magneto replies, explaining that the Riders are a militant band of Inhumans and mutants, terrorists who have long believed in survival o the fittest, and as far as they are concerned, the right to survive is earned only through trial and tribulation. Piloting the jet, Betsy listens as Magneto adds that it is likely the Dark Riders see the Terrigen Mists, the dangers to mutantkind, as the natural order, and those with the power to heal are decidedly unnatural. 'Once upon a time, they followed the teachings of... someone truly awful' Betsy declares, adding that now though, they are on their own – she knows this because she learned it when she scanned them. 'They're using this little blood hunt of their as a way to prove themselves to unseen masters' Betsy explains. 'And they are all the more dangerous for it' Magneto points out. 'So you're rescuing all the healers... bringing them to.. uh... is that -' Triage begins, as the Blackbird lands amongst the ruins of Genosha.
Exiting the Blackbird, Triage remarks that he heard Magneto was trying to set up some sort of colony here, a refuge or mutants, and reveals that he thought about coming here himself. 'Be thankful that you did not' Magneto declares, announcing that when he first ruled Genosha, sixteen million mutants were killed, and not long after he returned, the Terrigen Cloud swept across the island, sixty more mutants perished while in his care. They walk amongst the rubble, as Magneto remarks that time and time again he allows himself to be fooled by the promise o a mutant utopia, and time and again, others have paid the price for his foolishness. 'Now... Genosha is naught but a staging ground for war' Magneto points out. 'Yeah... home sweet home' Victor “Sabretooth” Creed calls out as he appears. 'Uh... why is Sabretooth here?' Triage asks. 'Are you guys trying to help our people? Or are you forming a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?' Triage enquires. 'Cute' Sabretooth frowns. 'See how you feel about me when I'm the one protecting your ass, kid' Sabretooth tells Triage. Betsy instructs Creed to lay of him. 'You can't really blame him for being nervous around the likes of you' Betsy points out. 'Way I see it, Betsy, the same could be said for all of us' Creed remarks.
Sabretooth then announces that Monet is on her way back from Tibet, and although she passed the warning on, is coming back empty-handed. 'Very well' Magneto replies, before stating that Psylocke was able to scan the minds of the Dark riders, and has located the hole they are hiding in. Sabretooth tells the others that he is going to make sure the Blackbird is gassed up and ready to fly, while Betsy announces that she will prep Warren. 'We'll hit the Riders – hard – right where they live' she suggests. Triage asks everyone to hold on – 'We just got here...and we're rushing off into a fight?' he then enquires as to why he doesn't see anyone else here, and whether he is the only healer they have managed to save. 'It is time that our enemies learn what we already know...that there is no place to hide' Magneto responds.
Meanwhile, inside a Someday Corporation storage facility, Fantomex has a Someday Enterprises employee in his grasp, and tells him relax, that there is no need to struggle against the inevitable. 'In the end... it's just simply undignified' he remarks, before turning to the Hellfire Club guards that are with him, and tells them to stay close and keep quiet. 'Whatever you say' one of them replies. Fantomex remarks that the Hellfire Club went to a lot of trouble to locate this little warehouse, and now that they are here, they should make the most of their time. 'That's all any of us can do, is it not? We can squeeze every ounce of vital fluid from life before the -' Fantomex begins, but as he and the Hellfire Club guards round a corner, Fantomex goes wide-eyed as he sees a large chamber, lined with stasis tubes, all filled with mutants. 'It would appear, gentlemen... that the scale of this project is a little bigger than we expected' he points out. Fantomex goes over to one of the tubes and declares 'Look at them all... mutants who have willingly placed themselves in a state of suspended animation...hoping to one day wake up in a better – world'.
