Untitled
'I need your help' Emma Frost admits as she sits in a chair in a living room within the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach. 'I don't care, Emma' Bobby Drake replies, narrowing his eyes as he stands several feet from Emma, wearing his 90s blue costume. Emma explains to Bobby that there is a family matter she has to tend to that is rather delicate. 'To quote Admiral Ackbar: It's a trap' Bobby replies, while suggesting to himself that he look into franchising the concession stand “Admiral Snackbar”.
Emma stands up and walks towards Bobby, asking him if he really thinks she would be coming to him like this if she had a scheme. 'That's the funny thing about you: yes' Bobby replies, telling Emma that her sweet spot is confusing and abusing people. Emma asks if she can at least explain herself, to which Bobby throws his hands into the air and starts to walk away, reminding Emma that she once said the following words to him: “I owe you nothing”. He suggests that she think about that as she escorts herself out – and that she better hurry before one of their telepath-proof X-Men finds her.
Suddenly, a confused Bobby pinches his face, and looks around, as he finds himself outside, on a busy downtown street. Emma Frost leans against a white convertible car as she tells Bobby that she wasn't done talking, and explains that she encouraged him to come take a stroll with her, away from his nosy peers. Emma admits that circumstances have made her hard up on allies, and informs Bobby that she is scared her brother is being hurt by her father. 'I don't love much. But I love him' she adds. Emma points out that Bobby is less susceptible to telepathic attacks when he is in ice and that he can fend for himself in a fight. 'And... you're good with people. Please, Drake' Emma pleads.
Bobby watches Emma, when suddenly a voice calls out, 'STOP HER!' 'Encase that toxic war-starting monster in ice!' Kitty Pryde exclaims as she rushes towards Bobby and Emma, warning Emma to stay away from Bobby.
Bobby tells Kitty that it is okay, and explains that she just has family drama she needs help with. 'Hmm. The hair is more Cynthia Nixon than Stamos' Emma remarks at Kitty's appearance. 'Shut up' Kitty snaps, before telling Bobby that Emma is just preying on the fact that he has something to prove to her. 'Don't fall for it' she exclaims.
'Do I have something to prove to her? Sure. Emma can be a scorpion crammed into a white corset, but she actually has a vaguely sympathetic cause' Bobby tells Kitty, pointing out that Emma needs to play nice, and that he can prove it, as he asks Emma to project his “request”. Emma then appears wearing curlers in her hair, and wearing frumpy clothes, including a t-shirt that has a picture of Kitty Pryde shouting “Emma Frost is a jerk”. 'If this isn't Emma showing some vulnerability, I don't know what is' Bobby points out. He then gets into Emma's car and tells Kitty to trust him. 'Trust no one, please!' Kitty replies.
In the car, Emma holds up a copy of the Boston Observer with the headline “Heir Apparent?” and a photo of her father, Winston, and brother, Christian. As Emma drives down the road, Bobby asks her if her dad pulls her brother out of an institution to run the Frost family business, why is that cause for alarm. 'Do you think I'm the way I am because my father operates at face value?' Emma replies. 'I forget you're poor' she tells Bobby, informing him that her father expected much from his children, and his own legacy, and didn't take efforts to hide constant disappointment. She projects an image of her parents and siblings onto the car dashboard. 'Whoa, projections. Okay, I get it. I'll stop playing with dating apps on my phone' Bobby replies.
Emma informs Bobby that her brother Christian could always bring warmth and laughter into that house, but her father didn't see his light – nor did he take Christian's sexuality as a fact – and so Christian was sent to conversion therapy, and tried to kill himself. Her father's idea of helping was to dismantle Christian's life and have him institutionalized. Emma reveals that she already visited once before, to suss the situation out and make sure Christian was all right – but her father was firm in not letting her in. 'We are not interested in your poisoning his mind' she remembers Winston telling her as he sent her off in a most surprising manner – attacking her mind with powers she never knew he had. Winston asked Emma to leave, telling her that he didn't need the neighbors to see his daughter grew into an overindulged, unremarkable brat.
Emma tells Bobby that Winston Frost is already a vicious and reactionary man, and admits that she is scared of what cruelties he is laying on Christian's brain with his newfound powers. They pull up at a mansion and Emma informs Bobby that they are here.
Bobby tells Emma that it all makes sense now – all this time he has wondered why she never outed him – because her heart thaws for her gay brother. 'I'm aware of how sensitive such things are for you pretty white boys, yes' Emma admits, adding that her list of treacherous acts is a bit more ambitious than messing up one self-absorbed X-child. 'You really are rusty at being nice' Bobby remarks as he freezes the front door and ice-sleds inside, with Emma rushing alongside him. 'Told you' Emma replies, before calling out 'Father! I'm here for Christian!'
'What's with the dramatic entrance, Em?' Christian Frost asks as he appears in the foyer. Emma goes over to her brother and tells him that she was worried father had him trapped. 'Dad just likes to make sure I'm behaving, is all' Christian smiles, while Bobby sleds around the nearby rooms and reports that there is no sign of Emma's father – just lots of opulence. Christian pours himself a glass of red wine, and Emma asks him where their father is. Christian smiles and replies that their father doesn't need to be here right now, and that he is doing well. He suggests they catch up on the veranda. Emma smacks the glass of wine from Christian's hand and asks him what is going on here. 'Are you a clone? Brainwashed? Wearing a British-cut suit was offensive enough, but my brother would not casually break his sobriety' Emma exclaims.
Emma pins Christian up against the wall and raises a fist to his face, telling him to stop wasting a perfectly good bottle of 1947 Chateau Petrus and her time. 'Where are my father and brother?' she demands. Iceman then informs Emma that he has found the only locked door in the house. He traps Christian in ice-bonds as Christian asks him not to go in there. 'I didn't clean my mess up and he's going to be mad at me if you see' Christian declares. Emma kicks the locked door down, then stares in shock at what she and Bobby find in the room. 'Let this be a weird Frost family telepath gag' Bobby utters. 'Christian, what did you do?' Emma gasps as she looks at the room which has been upturned, furniture is scattered across the floor, and blood spray can be seen up one wall – as Winston Frost lays motionless, slumped over a chair. 'Oh, Em... you weren't supposed to see that. Messes... Winston Frost hates messes. They'll all send me back to the institution if they see my messes...'
Christian then breaks through the ice-bonds and tells Emma that she has to go now – as Dad is back. A projection of Winston Frost appears and announces that Christian already had one outburst when he showed him how happy his boyfriend was in Europe, before pointing out that he now has to deal with this parade of children in the home he worked so hard to build, and psychic energy slams into Emma and Bobby, knocking them backwards, while Christian begins to run. Bobby gets to his feet and realizes that Christian is the one with the powers, not Winston. 'And he used your Papa Frost as a weird expression of himself and he killed him?' Bobby asks, muttering that he misses his folks. Emma begins to run after her brother, and instructs Bobby to keep “that thing” busy. 'Not how teamwork works!' Bobby calls out after Emma, dodging another blast that the Winston construct fires at him.
'Yeah, I thought that painting was tacky too' Bobby jokes as the energy blast slams into a painting. Bobby dodges another blast, and adds 'Wow, no respect for all things nouveau riche', while Emma catches up to Christian and grabs him by his collar, asking him when his powers emerged. 'Dad's here. Dad's mad, Dad's pissed he's here' Christian babbles. Bobby throws up an ice-shield as he informs Emma that “Astral Frost” is only hulking out more, and adds that he doesn't think her plan is working out, as Christian is compartmentalizing further. Bobby suggests to Emma that they have to get into Christian's head if they are going to fix this mess. He adds that he knows she can't use her powers to enter his mind, and asks her if she can throw Christian into his. 'I'll try anything once' Emma responds as she touches her brother's head.
Iceman’s mindscape:'Welcome to Ice-Land!' Bobby calls out inside his own mind. Various locations including his parent's home, the Xavier Institute, New York City and Coney Island can be seen. Emma and Bobby look out over the mindscape, and Bobby asks Emma if this is what it looks like in everybody's minds. Emma tells him that it isn't, and that humans are all snowflakes, down to their neural processing. Bobby finds a child version of himself who is building a snow castle and approaches him: 'Hey, little me. Here's a life hack: Build that moat as deep as you want, but the tide always takes the castle'.
'This way, I see him' Emma calls out to Bobby. They run across some floating ice-platforms and Bobby asks Emma what her next move is. Emma tells Bobby that they will try everything except force, as Christian has been broken a lot longer than he's been together. Suddenly, a hand reaches up and grabs Emma – yanking her down into some water.
Bobby calls out to Emma, who telepathically instructs him to go on, and that Christian is trying to hide in Coney Island. She tells Bobby to keep Christian focused. 'Do that thing you do where people think you're pleasant' she asks Bobby sleds into Coney Island and sees a memory of himself as child, crying and pointing at a large snow-cone statue, while his parents stand over him, frowning. Bobby remembers this. 'All's I wanted was a snow cone, Dad' he mutters, before a projection of Professor X appears, and calls out 'Bobby! Behind you!' Bobby turns and sees Christian Frost and the projection of Winston, who fires another blast at Bobby. 'Thanks, subconscious Professor X!' Bobby exclaims as he sleds away from danger, avoiding the blast, while his thoughts reach out to Emma, informing her that he thinks his brain only made Christian more triggered.
'Be with you shortly' Emma replies telepathically as she battles a large ice-monster beneath the water surrounding Coney Island. In her diamond form, Emma shoves her fingers into the ice-monster, which causes it some grief, enabling Emma to slip free. She begins to swim to the surface. At that moment, Bobby slides along, when his X-Baby version appears overhead. 'Don't you think I'd do a much better job of handling this?' the X-Baby asks. 'Do you wanna help then, X-Baby?' Iceman asks. 'No, I'm incorporeal' the X-Baby smiles, before a blast of energy slams into Iceman, knocking him from his ice-slide. 'Must you make me do everything for you, you useless brat' the projection of Winston mutters, before ordering Christian to go to his room and stay there while he fixes his problems. Christian runs down a corridor, and Emma rushes past her “father”, while suggesting to Bobby that they switch places, as she is the only one who can get to Christian.
'Switch what?' Bobby asks, before turning around, and seeing the large ice-monster creeping behind him. 'Oh. This! This is what I'm secretly afraid of, Emma – becoming big and evil!' Bobby calls out, identifying himself as the ice-monster. 'Whatever, she's already gone' Bobby mutters.
'Christian!' Emma calls out, following her brother through a hall of mirrors. She comes to a stop, next to a mirror that shows a picture of Bobby as a child with his parents. 'You're in pain and confused, my love' Emma tells her brother, explaining that she brought him to Iceman's mind to show him something. 'The boy was lucky to have parents who merely smothered him with ideologies he could easily escape'. The mirror changes, to show an image of the original X-Men, as Emma remarks that Bobby was even luckier to have found a family that accepted him for the self-obsessed neurotic brat he has become. 'Bobby's chosen family helped him embrace the parts of himself  that he thought were shameful. His powers... his sexuality... his identity'. Emma changes the mirror again, now showing herself as a child, with Christian and their sisters Cordelia and Adrienne, along with their parents. Emma tells Christian that she takes credit for making Bobby Drake a more powerful mutant, as he needed a firm hand, tough love.
'That's something we Frosts certainly know how to dole out...' Emma adds, when suddenly, Christian's image appears in all the mirrors around Emma, angrily asking her where she was. 'He did all those awful things to me. You tell me you love me...then where were you?' he asks. Emma looks at all the mirrors in shock, 'When they kept giving me pills, when they starved the gay out of me...where were you?' Christian shouts. Emma closes her eyes and tells Christian that she made decisions – and they had long-lasting consequences. She kneels before the mirrors and admits that she can't excuse how selfish her actions have been, but promises that she will do anything to help him heal – that she won't leave his side. Emma adds that it will break her heart if she can't fix his. 'Pinky swear?' Christian asks as he appears at one of the mirrors.
Back outside, the projection of Winston Frost threatens to kill Bobby, who is now riding the ice-monster, rushing towards Winston, who suddenly vanishes. 'Finally. She chilled him out' Bobby exclaims, adding that it is time to get out of his head. In the hall of mirrors, Emma and Christian embrace, and Emma tells her brother that she loves him, and that she is here. Whiteness then engulfs the two of them, as they are removed from Bobby's mindscape
'Em?' Christian asks. 'Christian...' Emma replies. Bobby grins, pleased with himself as he walks over to the Frost siblings and announces that, for the record, he was the one to escort them from his mind. 'How's that for advancement? I'm not iced up or anything' Bobby adds. 'Good job' Emma smiles, suggesting to Bobby that running a small ice layer around his brain all days seems much better than spinning his wheels about some kiss he had in Los Angeles. 'This guy really has no clue just how soft a side of Sears he sees with you' Bobby remarks. 'What's Sears?' Bobby replies. 'Oh-kay. Last joke about me being poor' Bobby mutters, before asking Emma if she is ready to leave. But Emma tells Bobby that this is it as far as the X-Men's involvement goes. She points out that with her father dead and Christian exhibiting a magnificent display of powers, she will need to take over Frost Technologies and work with him to regain control. 'You'll be able to find your own way home, I'm sure' Emma adds.
Soon, Bobby sleds through a city under the cover of night, lights from the tall buildings glowing around him. 'She sends me out of the state with nothing but my costume and phone... does the White Queen just expect me to sled all the way home?' he mutters. Bobby checks his phone to see if there are any trains out here, when suddenly, he receives several notifications. He thinks this is odd, his phone was silent for a few hours, and now he has five messages from Kitty Pryde, a notification that his pre-order of Dazzler's new single is available for download, and that he has a match on the app Single Not Stirred. 'holy smoke! Score! A match for Bobby Icematch!' Bobby exclaims, throwing his hands into the air 'He's cute, works in property development – and he lives in Manhattan? I'm in love. Damn!'
'Damn' Mr Sinister mutters, holding up a skull. 'He learned to block out prying minds. Fascinating'. Sinister walks through his lab and decides that he is not ready to expose himself to the X-Men just yet, but he needs Iceman physically here to complete his analysis for their little project. Sinister then stops at a contraption which has the red-skinned mutant hooked up to various cables and needles, injecting him with serum. Sinister grins and asks the mutant 'Are you excited to fight your first X-Man?'

'Do you really expect me to put my hands on that?' Bobby Drake asks, frowning as he looks down at a plate of food. 'Don't judge by appearance' the man standing next to him smiles. 'I never really considered Collard Greens Street Cart food is all I'm saying' Bobby adds, to which the man with him suggests that the Ethiopian vendor took liberties with the theme, but that it is still a lot of fun watching a date eat with his hands. 'Shows you a lot about a person' he explains, to which Bobby smiles. Bobby and his companion carry their trays of food through the busy Manhattan Street Cart Named Desire Festival. 'If that's the case, Carlos, bring on all the finger food you got' Bobby exclaims, before asking Carlos how long he has lived in New York for.
Carlos reveals that he has lived here his whole life, that his Mom is still in the Spanish Harlem apartment that she raised them in. 'Manhattan, to boot!' Bobby remarks. 'When you've got that rent control...' Carlos starts to reply, before they stop at another vendor and get more food, and Carlos tells Bobby that his brother wishes their mother's overstuffed chinero would fall on her so he could get her lease. 'That's brutal' Bobby replies. 'That's having family in New York' Carlos jokes, to which Bobby tells Carlos that he is glad he doesn't have that cutthroat quality, as he is over dating bad guys. 'You're sweet, Bobby' Carlos smiles. 'Yet somehow savory, too' Bobby remarks.
At a nearby table: 'Peter Parker, I can't believe you're starting with dessert' Mary-Jane Watson smiles as she and Peter sit across from each other. 'Listen, Mary-Jane, when you see a stand called Churronimo, you gotta support' Peter replies, shoving another churro into his mouth. 'Let me live my truth' he adds. They hold hands across the table and Mary-Jane tells Peter that she knows he is just filling the air with banter, but truth-wise, she loves this chapter they are in. 'We're both being honest and leaning on each other, and it's -' she begins, to which Peter smiles and asks 'Better than ever before?' 'Yeah!' Mary-Jane smiles, touching Peter's face. 'Yeah' Peter agrees, before holding up another delicious churro and telling Mary-Jane that while he is on a sugar high, she should ask him anything. He jokes that the churro's creamy glaze filling is actually a truth serum. 'Do you have a thing for redheads?' Mary-Jane asks. 'Baby! Phoenix who?' Peter replies, telling Mary-Jane that she is his red ace. He points to a young woman walking nearby and tells Mary-Jane that while she is objectively pretty, his eye doth not linger for her fiery strands.
That young woman carries a tray and smiles at the man walking beside her, 'It was like “Eat, Pray, Love” but with pirates' she grins, adding that it was a really good novel to talk about in book club, but it wasn't a good book. 'Sure, Angelica, I guess' the man replies as he places his tray on a table nearby and starts to sit down. Angelica Jones sits opposite him and calls him Dirk, and asks him if he reads much. 'Nope' Dirk responds, sipping his drink. 'Aw, yeah, kind of a prehistoric hobby at this point' Angelica supposes. Dirk reminds Angelica that her profile said she is active and into fitness, so asks her if she likes sports. Angelica explains that she is a gym bunny more than anything, but that she does go to hockey games enough that she should just get a season pass. 'Hockey's good' Dirk replies, suddenly appearing more interested. 'Common ground, yes!' Angelica exclaims.
'Don't even get me started on -' Angelica begins, when suddenly, a voice calls out'Ang?'  'Oh my God! Dirk, this is my amazing friend, Bobby Drake!' Angelica exclaims as Bobby and Carlos stand near her table. 'Angelica Jones as I live and breathe!' Bobby gasps, before introducing Carlos as his date. 'I just found something to talk about with my date' Angelica whispers as she and Bobby hug. Bobby tells her that he will leave her to it, and that she should have fun.
'That was Firestar!' Carlos exclaims as he and Bobby carry on towards another table. 'Yeah, how did you know?' Bobby asks. 'I keep up with my mutants, Mister Iceman' Carlos smirks. 'My cover's blown' Bobby points out as they take their seats at a table nearby. Carlos then admits to doing a little cyber-sleuthing before their date. 'And I passed?' Bobby asks. Carlos explains that he wanted to make sure Bobby's pics were real and that he wasn't getting catfished. 'Cheers to being real' Bobby tells Carlos as they press their drinks together. Carlos then asks Bobby if his parents are going to come to the Mutant Pride Parade. Bobby moves his seat closer to Carlos and holds up his phone, revealing that his parents aren't as progressive as he would like them to be, and they are on a cruise at present – grossly rekindling their passion. Carlos looks at the photo and tells Bobby that his parents seem so happy and in love. Bobby informs him that they used to bicker a lot, but that he thinks his coming out brought them closer, like reeling together helped them bond in new ways. 'Cute' Carlos tells Bobby.
'I'm glad you think that' Bobby smiles, to which Carlos tells him that it is beautiful that people can find new ways to love each other, no matter how many decades in. 'There's something about this chat, or watching you eat corn out of a cup... whatever it is, I just really wanna kiss you right now' Bobby replies. 'I wish you would' Carlos responds, so Bobby leans in and they lock lips – but suddenly, Bobby glances sideways when he hears some crashing and screaming – and as a car is hurled through the air into the Street Cart Named Desire Festival Bobby leaps up and extends an ice barricade to block the car from landing on anyone as panicked civilians begin to run for their lives.
'Stay back!' Bobby and Angelica call out in unison to their dates as Bobby ices up and slides into the air, while Firestar removes her coat and reveals her costume underneath as she takes to the sky as well. 'Seriously, you went on a date with your costume underneath?' Bobby asks. 'I always come prepared. Also, cute date!' Firestar replies. 'Likewise!' Bobby responds.
They move through the air alongside each other and Firestar points out that the car was more flung than driven through. 'I'm betting all my money is... that' Bobby calls out as he and Firestar arrive at a nearby road, where large monster with an icy-exterior has upturned several cars as it makes its way down the street. 'One of yours?' Angelica asks. 'To quote Mariah Carey, “I don't know her”' Bobby responds. The strange creature then hurls a motorcycle towards Iceman, who catches it on an ice-sled. 'I know this is an anti-gridlock zone, but...' his voice trails off as the creature opens its mouth and blasts a stream of water at Firestar, who narrowly dodges the attack. 'You both are looking awesome!' Carlos exclaims as he rushes onto the street, filming the battle on his phone. 'Carlos, get out of here! You're gonna get -' Bobby begins, before the creature turns its attention towards Carlos and blasts a stream of water towards him. 'No no no no no' a voice can be heard.
'Hey, buddy. Take it from me. You'll get better photos from up here' Spider-Man remarks as he clings to a lamp post, while suspending Carlos above the street with webbing. 'Spider-Man!' Firestar calls out as Spider-Man swings down the street, Firestar flying alongside him and Bobby following on his ice-sled. 'How's your dance card? Got room for a team-up?' Bobby asks. 'For you, Frosty? Anything' Spider-Man replies as the heroes give chase to the creature. 'The Barney's Warehouse sale is in the other direction, sir' Spider-Man jokes, calling out to the creature as he swings around in front of it and covers its face in webbing. The creature struggles to pull the webbing from its face, and as it does so, neglects to see the wall of ice that suddenly appears in front of it. 'Cold stop' Bobby calls out, as he appears on an ice-sled above the creature, with Firestar and Spider-Man alongside him. 'It's time you answered to Iceman and his Amazing Friends' Bobby exclaims. 'Uhh, that doesn't sound right...' Spider-Man mumbles.
The creature gets back up and lumbers towards the heroes. Spider-Man fires some webbing around the creature's wrists, while Firestar blasts some microwave energy towards it, asking Bobby if he is sure this isn't one of his. 'He's not talking, just grunting' she points out. Spider-Man then swings the creature around, knocking it into a nearby building. 'No more mister ice guy!' he jokes. 'Dude, I made that joke already' Bobby exclaims. 'Today, tho?' Spider-Man enquires. The creature roars as it knocks Firestar aside and slams a fist through Iceman's ice-sled. Bobby falls to the ground and surround himself with an ice-shield as the creature attempts to blast him with a surge of water. The creature then slams its fists into the ground, creating a seismic shock that knocks Bobby and Firestar backwards.
The heroes watch as the creature keeps lumbering on down the street, and Bobby realizes that the creature keeps running downtown, while Firestar observes that it doesn't look like he stole anything, decides that it seems too autonomous to be a creature. 'And he has zero respect for street food' Spider-Man points out. Iceman asks his friends if they noticed their foe's mouth, as he saw some tech around it, and assumes that could be what is controlling the “ice puke”. The heroes rush after their enemy and Firestar tells the others that they should stop him from throwing up all over them and see if he can talk. Bobby and Spider-Man both like this plan. 'Slow down, guy. What's the rush?' Firestar calls out, blasting the strange being's leg with microwave energy. He turns to her, as Spider-Man pulls himself to the behemoth by latching webbing onto his shoulders. 'Stay with us for a second...' Iceman calls out, while Firestar darts about around their foe in an attempt to keep him distracted.
'C'mon, Spidey!' Bobby exclaims as Spider-Man struggles to remove the strange device from their opponent's mouth, while the mysterious being narrowly misses Firestar once again. 'Almost... got it!' Spider-Man calls out as he manages to pull the tech from their foe's face, ending the stream of water. The being looks confused, and suddenly roars loudly, knocking Bobby, Spider-Man and Firestar backwards as the icy exterior around him gives way – revealing a red-skinned mutant underneath. 'Gotcha!' Spider-Man remarks as he catches Bobby and Firestar in webbing, preventing them from being flung away any further. The heroes move in closer to the mutant who has since fallen to the ground. 'That was quick' Firestar points out. 'That's what she sa-' Spider-Man begins to say, but Firestar interrupts him: 'Are we in seventh grade?' she snaps, before Bobby announces that he knows this guy – Ash, the missing Morlock, Maddin's brother. 'Oh, Madin, right! Who?' Spider-Man responds.
Bobby helps Ash up and asks him what is going on, and who did this to him. Red eyes were set on you... wanted me to invite you. Red eyes with all the bodies made me find Iceman' Ash responds, cryptically. Suddenly, 'Freeze!' a voice calls out, and the heroes find themselves surrounded by several police officers, who aim their weapons at them. “Freeze?” Spider-Man quotes. 'I'm sorry, I can't. Too on the nose' he remarks, while one officer instructs the heroes to step away from the mutant. 'It wasn't him! He didn't do all of this' Bobby starts to explain, as the officers cuff Ash and move him towards one of their cars. 'Red diamond. Cordial invite...' Ash utters, while Bobby tries to tell the officer that he was mind-controlled or something, and that this isn't fair. 'Civilian calls and footage shows him attacking the festival' the officer responds. 'The red diamond wanted bodies. Wanted yours the most and made it mine. He's in the ballroom, waiting' Ash adds as the police officer helps him into the car. 'What just happened?' Bobby wonders, while Carlos poses next to him, 'Stay posed just like that... you look truly heroic with the sun hitting your ice' Carlos remarks. Bobby frowns and asks Carlos if he is kidding. 'What? Oh, did you want me to tag you on social?' Carlos asks.
Later, the Amazing Friends are sitting on a rooftop. 'Do you see this? He just dumped me in a text! I save the city and I get punished for it!' Firestar exclaims as she shows Spider-Man and Iceman the message Dirk sent her. 'Brutal. Men are pigs' Spider-Man replies, while Bobby informs them that he just had to do that to his date. 'Why? He seemed cute and into you' Firestar points out. 'It's never okay to jump into the fray for a selfie' Bobby explains, shrugging his shoulders and adding that civilians don't get it – mutants are complicated. 'You could try for a Celestial? Really commit to the stoic, tall, dark and handsome type' Spider-Man jokes, adding that there is a part of him that wants to push the power of friends-as-soul mates, but realises he would be a liar and a hypocrite. Spider-Man raises his mask over his mouth and tells his friends that they have it harder than anybody. 'How can we build relationships of trust when secrets are our business?' he asks them, adding 'Who'd wanna be plus-ones to this lifestyle?' “Sorry I'm late, and for Hobgoblin burning your dress. Here's babka that's been boiling in a web napsack for two hours” he jokes.
Spider-Man fires some webbing away from the others and tells them that this isn't the first time in the world that someone has been a super hero looking for love, and adds that he has faith it will be okay. 'In spite of everything, I found the one lady in all five boroughs whose life seems to fit with mine' Spider-Man adds, before pulling back his webbing which is now connected to a bag of churros. 'Here, take the train to Churro Borough' Spider-Man smiles, joking that he has already lodged a petition to get Queens renamed. The three heroes begin to eat the churros, and Firestar tells Bobby and Spider-Man that she knows she will be fine, but that it is maddening going on all these first time dates, but she has the faith that she will find her diamond in the rough, too. Bobby then stands up, and declares that he has to go, as he thinks he's figured it all out. The trio make their way out over the city, and Bobby tells the others that, weird mystery aside, they should do this more often. 'Seriously!' Firestar smiles. 'If I'm not in the Avengers, I'm all yours!' Spider-Man calls back.
Soon, in the catacombs, Bobby finds the Morlock Madin and informs her that her brother Ash was used against him, that Mr Sinister messed with his powers to draw him out, but the police took him away. Bobby assures her that he is going to fix this, and asks if Ash is a minor. Madin asks Iceman why his age matters. 'You still don't get that the system works differently when you're not a pretty man who can hide the ice' she declares. Bobby asks Madin why she thinks he is against her. Madin's powers light up as she produces some sort of energy knives from her hands and tells Iceman that they all just bodies to the X-Men. 'Some $#%& is using my brother to get at you? So what's your big move, what are you gonna do about it?' she snarls. Bobby ices up and replies 'I'm gonna break him out'.

Untitled
The catacombs beneath Manhattan, where the Morlock called Madin asks Bobby “Iceman” Drake what exactly he thinks he is going to do. Bobby tells Madin that he is done playing by the house's rules, and that he is going to break her brother out of jail himself. 'Must be nice' Madin replies. 'Excuse you?' Bobby snaps. Madin scowls and tells Bobby 'You heard me' and remarking that it must be nice to think he can stroll into any space like he is allowed, take what he wants and not worry about any consequence. Bobby's ice-form increases mass as he spins around and asks why he can't ever so the right thing here. 'Because you come in guns blazing without having the full picture' Madin replies, announcing that six more Morlocks have gone missing. 'But what does that matter to -' Madin begins, before the young Morlock called Grimlock interrupts her, handing her a bowl of food. 'I don't want your food to get cold' Grimlock tells Madin, who beckons Iceman to follow her.
Iceman and Madin sit opposite each other in an abandoned subway train as Madin eats her food and remarks that she misses catfish – good, fried catfish. She informs Bobby that they have LEDs set up, generators and one of the kids can even talk to the critters and keep them away – but she hasn't had proper catfish in a long time. 'Weren't we just arguing?' Bobby asks. Madin explains that she was hangry, and that Grimlock always knows when she needs food. Madin then suggests to Bobby that they talk like grown-ups, and informs him that going in all Tom Cruise  is not the solution. Bobby narrows his eyes as he explains to Madin that the guy behind this is Mr Sinister, a weird Darwinist loser who plays people like marionettes until he is ready to strike. 'And he used Ash to bait me' Bobby adds. 'Then go fight him' Madin retorts, suggesting that Bobby could stay in his lane and if he cares so much about her brother, find them a lawyer or something. Madin tells Bobby that if this Sinister guy is coming after them, then to put some distance between them. 'I know where you live. We need something – we'll call' she declares. '... fine' Bobby replies, before he ice-slides out of the catacombs through a large pipe.
Three days later at the Xavier Institute:'Ugh, when did this wrinkle show up?' Kitty Pryde asks, looking at her face in a small mirror. Ororo “Storm” Munroe sits at a table and does her makeup as she tells Kitty that is the downside to leadership. She jokes that she is lucky her hair was already white before trying to lead a team where Bishop was trying to kill Gambit, Dracula tried to marry her and Goddess knows what else. Kitty runs a hand through her own hair and jokes that she is going to shave her head or get a pixie cut, adding that she would look good with a pixie cut. Kitty then remarks that she can't fuss over this speech anymore, and asks Storm whether she is sure they should be in uniform – not too “military” for mutant pride? Storm looks over at Kitty and tells her that the uniform doesn't make her look like a soldier – it makes her look iconic. Storm assures Kitty that she has everything planned for the keynote and that this is going to be perfect. 'Sharing the speech with you – not tacky?' Kitty asks.
Storm goes over to her friend and tells her that it is fitting, and that she is honored to share the stage with her. 'Every day you make me more proud to know you than the last' Storm adds. Kitty smiles and tells Ororo to stop, or she will make her cry off the concealer.
They walk out into a hallway as Kitty remarks that the kids have supervisors and Dazzler is doing soundcheck, while Jean and the Cuckoos are sweeping for terrorist thoughts. 'Tell me again why you're not gonna keep the literal rain off my parade?' Kitty enquires. 'To prove that we weather any storm, and that we always find a way to celebrate' Storm explains, before Lucas Bishop approaches them and asks if he is interrupting. 'Storm is just keeping me sane' Kitty jokes, before Storm asks Bishop why he is in uniform. 'I never trust a good thing' Bishop replies, asking them if they have seen Bobby.
'Outta the way, beep beep!' Bobby suddenly shouts as he slides past them on an ice-scooter, while holding what looks like a hotdog. 'Follow the path of melted ice. I bet you ten bucks it leads to Beast's lab' Kitty frowns while informing Bishop that Bobby has been spending a lot of time down there with Forge.
Bishop enters the lab to find Bobby sitting at a console, and Forge standing near some equipment several feet away. 'Okay, lemme see the floor plan one more time' Bobby asks. 'Can you not eat that sloppy mess over my keyboard?' Forge responds annoyed. Bobby explains that he is carbo-loading, that this mission is going to be a doozy and he will need all the calories to burn. 'Knew you were up to something. I want in' Bishop snarls. Bobby turns to Bishop and tells him no – this is between him and Mr Sinister. 'You guided by ego again, Drake? Sinister has got a century of experience on you' Bishop points out. Bobby assures Bishop that he is well aware and tells him that while he would love to an iceshop reunion, he wants everyone to enjoy the parade. He adds that Forge did a lot of cool tech roadie magic for Dazzler's show, before remarking that Sinister may be smarter than him, which is what he is banking on.
Forge goes over to Bobby and tells him that he is all set. 'Bobby -' Bishop begins, but Bobby tells Bishop to trust him on this, adding that Madin made it clear Sinister is obsessed with him for some reason, so he is going to go there himself. 'With only me, myself and ice' Bobby jokes as he ices up his hand.
Elsewhere, smoke darts across the floor of a lavish ballroom, where Mr Sinister is dancing on his own. 'And step... and turn... and step' he utters, adding that soon he will be dancing in a ballroom full of his most beautiful bodies. 'A waltz so perfect... and step... and turn...' he continues as he dances about.
'HOW ARE WE DOING NEW YORK?' Alison “Dazzler” Blaire shouts from her stage at the Mutant Prude Parade in Manhattan. 'We love you, Dazzler!' someone in the crowd calls out. Dazzler wears her rollerskates and disco outfit as slides across the stage . 'We're gonna take you back for this jam... back to when a little girl from Gardendale had a dream and a keyboard...' Dazzler calls out to the adoring crowd, many of whom are recording the show on their phones.
Amidst the crowd stands Emma Frost, wearing large sunglasses to hide her appearance. She is with her brother, Christian, and asks him if he is sure he wants to be here. 'Truly, I feel ready, Emma' Christian replies, adding that he needs to see that it is okay to be him, that this won't go away. Suddenly, on stage, Dazzler's costume changes into her blue one-piece with the yellow star and brown jacket as she exclaims that she couldn't pick just one outfit for them today, so she brought them all.
At another stage, Kitty peers out from behind the curtain and upon seeing the crowd, tells Storm that she made a huge mistake. 'What is that, Kitty?' Storm asks. 'Having our speech after an act like that – what was I thinking?' Kitty smiles. 'You were thinking your words could have more impact than Forge's pyrotechnics. And your instincts are correct. Stop with your nerves. I mean it' Storm tells Kitty, while back on stage, Dazzler, wearing a more modern, ripped leather costume shouts 'Thank you! Thank you!' As brilliant lights burst around her, a red hand-held fan suddenly materializes, and a woman with green hair wearing thigh-high platform boots and a leotard with a gold X across it, and several pouches around her wrists, shoulders and ankles, steps through some sort of portal. 'Ello Manhattan!' she calls out, introducing herself as the emcee, Shade. She jokes that she has no shade to throw at Dazzler's set and tells the crowd to give Dazzler another round of applause, before announcing that it is the moment they have all been waiting for.
'Okay, let's do this' Kitty tells Storm as they step forward from behind the curtain and wave at the crowd as bright lights sparkle around them, standing under a banner that reads “mutant pride”.
Meantime, Bobby is on a rooftop, watching a building across the road, he tells himself that it is now or never, as he leaps from the rooftop, onto an ice-slide below, he lowers himself to the ground. A bell chimes as Bobby enters a theater, the stage has been set up, and smoke billows across the floor. He walks down past the empty audience seats, where out of the orchestra circle, several strange creatures suddenly emerge.
Back in the sewers:'Madin! The hunky X-Man in the tight pants is here!' Grimlock calls out as Bishop walks towards Madin, who leans against an old subway train. 'Is there a recruitment bonus going on at the Xavier Institute or something?' Madin asks. Bishop ignores her comment and tells her that he needs to talk to her. 'I want pants like yours. What are they – lycra?' Grimlock enquires. 'Iceman already cometh over. We just want to be left alone' Madin declares. 'Oh, he's like a time cop! A hot time cop!' Grimlock grins, while Madin scowls and tells her to stop reading minds. Bishop asks Madin how many fighters she has among her, to which Madin tells him that she has enough. 'Good' Bishop replies, instructing Madin to bring them with him, and have the others go into deep hiding for the night. 'Why are you coming here thinking I'm going to listen to you?' Madin asks. 'Cuz I'm keeping an eye on the bigger picture' Bishop responds
Back at the Mutant Pride Parade, Kitty and Storm stand at a podium and Kitty bids the audience good evening, announcing that they stand here to celebrate the achievements mutantkind has made since Charles Xavier first opened his doors to those being shunned for being different. She adds that there are so many derogatory terms for mutants, but she prefers to focus on the word that can't be taken from them – gifted. Storm remarks that they stand before everyone as a reminder that while much has changed, there is much to be angry about, still much to be done, and that they stand here to show that mutants are no longer represented by one man's vision of the future.
Back in the theatre:'Heeeeellll -' one of the strange creatures calls out as it lunges at Iceman, who turns around just in time to grab the creature and toss it aside into another of them. 'Help me!' another creature pleads, grabbing Bobby by his shoulders.
Storm continues with her speech, stating that as times change, their challenges become more unique – solutions more opaque – the X-Men's reputation in global media is that they are fighters. 'And in some countries we have been labeled as terrorists' Kitty adds, while Storm remarks that Kitty prefers the term “gifted”, she prefers the term “fighters” and points out that while the future they hunger for is one of harmony, there are many fights to be had to get there. She explains that they fight so their bodies are not policed, their rights are not taken away and their safety is not placed on a pendulum of violence. 'We fight in the hope that one day your children will only know about this time as myth, or fodder for comic books... not the status quo on the news' she adds.
In the theater, Bobby knocks back the creature who lunged at him pleading for help. 'Red eyes. On you' the creature utters, before firing projectiles at Bobby, two of which strike him in the shoulders. Bobby runs, and pushes through a door into another room. 'Red red red' a voice utters over and over, and Bobby looks to see more strange creatures, all holding large pens and writing on two large scrolls that extend the length of the large room. 'Help' one of them pleads.
Kitty continues to make her address, telling the crowd that if they are standing in the audience then they believe in hope, and are brave enough to stand with them. 'Together, we can help every mutant live the life they want to lead. As a community bonded together, we can accomplish so much more for the world than fighting' Kitty adds.
At that moment, Bobby runs from creature to creature, knocking each one aside with a punch or a kick – until one of them suddenly slams one of the large pens into him, sending him careening backwards across the room, he crashes into a window and falls through onto some sort of stage, where three open caskets are laid out. 'It hurts' the creatures call out as they pursue Bobby, who jumps onto one of the coffins, where he begins to fall through it and through the stage beneath it.
Kitty concludes her speech by informing the audience that they still have workshops going on in the tents and asks them to stick around. 'Be safe tonight. Thank you' Storm calls out, as the crowd cheer and take photos.
As Bobby and the coffin crash into the laboratory beneath the stage, 'Rushing to the finale, are we?' a voice booms. 'Help us' creatures call out as they rush over and grab Bobby, while the mysterious voice suggests that the sets for the Merchant of Venice theatre seemed like an appropriatev location for them. Bobby is placed into some sort of stasis tank by the creatures as the voice admits that the location is a bit ghoulish, but he is only here during the show's hiatus, and only had time to build this set specially for Iceman. 'Here. Let me help you' the voice adds as Sinister steps forward and shoves Bobby completely into the stasis tank, which closes around him. 'You are our guest of honor, after all' Mr Sinister grins.
Sinister stands in the center of the laboratory and declares that if his calculations are accurate, there is no point in Bobby trying to use his powers, as there is far too little access to moisture in there for him to conjure up additional ice. 'That word...conjure...there's no other way to describe your abilities without getting a bit mystical' Sinister remarks. He narrows his eyes and grins wickedly, walking past other stasis tanks that line the laboratory, he remarks that Iceman defies the laws of physics, neuroscience, molecular biology and countless other practices he has mastered. 'My dear boy, I don't know how else to put this...you're perfect!' Sinister announces, but Bobby does not look impressed.
Sinister walks past the other stasis tubes, each containing some sort of creature made of ice. Sinister tells Bobby that the irony here is that he is going to have to ruin his body to figure out how it works. 'And I really want to know how you work' Sinister adds, explaining that he has studied Bobby's genetic profile, but he needs his physical body to truly understand how he can make and mind-control a flawless army. Sinister grins as he declares that this is kind of a renaissance for the kind of science he is exploring, and unfortunately this process is as subtle as medieval trephination. Sinister walks back over to Bobby and tells him that he has become dreadfully leery of their leaders. 'En Sabah Nur – in all his greatness – cannot shape this world to its true form. It's time I tried my hand at it – sincerely' Sinister remarks. He then apologizes to Bobby for prattling on, but he hasn't had a soul to talk to about this.
Sinister asks Bobby if he has ever just wanted to give nature a nudge in the right direction, and narrowing his eyes admits that for years he was so focused on Cyclops and Jean Grey, that all it took was Scott Summers dying for him to see the beauty that Iceman is. He adds that after tonight, that is all that will remain – exquisite genetic specimens – utopia. Bobby bangs on the stasis tank, and shouts something at Sinister. 'What's that? I can't hear you...' Sinister replies, leaning into the tank. He grins as he tells Bobby that he wishes there was a way to do this where his brain didn't turn into a puddle. 'This world will be pristine. It's a shame you won't see it' he adds, as he presses a button on a remote control – and the stasis tank begins to rumble, and Bobby's body shatters! 'Oh! I did not forsee that happening...' Sinister utters.

Once upon a time:
Los Angeles, where Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman leans on a dirt bike: 'Please?' he asks Judah Miller, who is busy sorting through some boxes in a garage. 'No' Judah replies without looking up. 'Pweeeease?' Bobby wheedles. Judah smiles at this, but still tells Bobby no. 'C'mon, Judah, I never get to drive in New York' Bobby exclaims. 'All I wanted to do was find some old comics to show you. Let's go' Judah replies, adding that he doesn't even know if these dirt bikes still run. 'Only one way to find out' Bobby winks at Judah, who grins back at him and tells him that his persistence is charming. 'Pray it stays that way' Judah adds. And shortly, they speed across a  barren landscape on the dirt bikes, 'Really though – you never drive?' Judah calls out as Bobby races ahead of him.
Thirteen beaches later, Bobby and Judah are down to their jocks as they lie on towels on a deserted beach, a box of beers sitting beside them, plenty of ice keeping the beers cold. 'Thank you' Bobby remarks, laying with his hands behind his head. 'What for? This was all your idea, Toots' Judah smiles as he takes a drink. Bobby lifts his shades up and tells Judah that, firstly, he refuses to be anybody's Toots, and second, for the rest and relaxation – he doesn't get to be this way back home. Judah listens as Bobby tells him that he would fill the air with chatter back home, try to keep people distracted or annoyed or amused – anything so they wouldn't notice that he was so damn lonely and sad. 'It was either all eyes on me being obnoxious, or me hiding in the background' Bobby adds. He leans towards Judah and tells him that he makes him feel calm, that he can just be. 'Aww, Toots... glad to let you be quiet' Judah replies, leaning in to kiss Bobby.
Now:
Manhattan, beneath the theater that Mr Sinister is using for his diabolical schemes, he has the icy remains of Bobby trapped in a stasis tank. Sinister stands before the tank and tells Bobby that he is truly sorry to have lost him in such a vulgar manner. Holding some device in his hand, Sinister uses it to analyse Bobby's remains, and is shocked to discover that the sequencing hasn't loaded – there is no genetic data in Bobby's remains. 'Yeah, about that, Sinister...' a voice calls out, causing a furious Sinister to spin around, to find Bobby Drake ice-sliding towards him, boasting that his decoy game is strong. 'How...?' Sinister asks. 'Oh, by doing the thing you're trying to steal from me' Bobby replies. Sinister lunges towards Bobby, who raises himself up on his ice-sled, dodging the attack. 'Let's be honest. I am pretty stupid. I'd totally mess up and die if I walked into your lair all willy-nilly' Bobby admits.
'Impudent cur!' Sinister shouts as he hurls some machinery at Bobby. Tsk. Interrupting!' Bobby mutters as he narrowly avoids being struck by the machinery, before revealing that Forge created some cameras and sensors to put into a golem and brought him a spare life. 'At any rate, Netflix just released a new cooking show, so can we hurry this up?' Bobby asks as he creates several more ice-golems, who move towards Sinister. 'Hah. You witless cow' Sinister calls Bobby, as he announces that he can still move forward with the second phase of his plan while he takes the real Iceman. 'I still need bodies, you see' Sinister remarks as the ice golems he had in the stasis tanks are suddenly freed, and turn towards Bobby.
Outside, at the Mutant Pride Parade, security guards watch over the festivities when Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler teleports next to them. He introduces himself and informs them that he is taking over perimeter sweeps, before asking them if all is going well. 'Yup, appreciate you X-Men checking in!' one of the guards replies, giving Nightcrawler the thumbs-up sign. But as soon as Nightcrawler teleports away, the guard remarks 'Stinky mutt's gone' and he and his colleague touch their heads, dropping their disguises and revealing themselves as Sinister's new faux-Marauders. 'Can't believe these helmets blocked all the telepaths out. So easy' the first faux-Marauder mumbles, while the other remarks that Sinister covered everything, and they have fifteen minutes until Nightcrawler returns. The first faux-Marauder tells him to call the others so they can show these freaks what happens when you mix with filthy blood.
Nearby: 'Aside from the preachy stuff, this Mutant Pride Parade was the best' a woman walking with some friends comments. 'Mutant parties are so tight' another of the group adds. The faux-Marauders see the group and ready their weapons. 'We're good to go' one of them scowls. Another of the group states that he is sorry they had to leave early, and that he hates morning shifts. 'No big! Coco's throwing a party uptown anyw-' one of the group starts to say, when suddenly, the faux-Marauders appear before them: 'You love dirty blood so much? How about you bathe in it?' one of them exclaims as they aim their weapons at the four friends, but, before they can open fire, 'NOT TODAY!' Madin of the Morlocks exclaims as she drops down on the faux-Marauders, with Bishop and several other Morlocks ready to fight behind her.
Elsewhere at the festival, Forge contacts Nightcrawler and reports that all is well over on his block. Nearby, Emma Frost and her brother, Christian, are at a stall selling Mutant Pride t-shirts. A green-skinned mutant behind the stall holds a t-shirt up to Emma and informs her that the material was hand-constructed here in Manhattan, and they used a bamboo-spandex blend to give for expanding bodies and breathe for harder skin types. Emma lowers her shades to take a closer look at the t-shirt: 'Made here? That explains the uneven stitching and unfortunate pleats' she tells the mutant, before suddenly, she picks up some activity with her telepathic powers. Christian asks his sister what is wrong, to Emma informs him that she is sensing fear – an outpouring of it, towards the exit. 'Party crashers?' Christian enquires. 'With guns' Emma tells him. Christian asks Emma to take him to them, but Emma frowns and tells him 'Absolutely not'. Emma reminds Christian that the X-Men are not fans of hers, and she doesn't trust the stability of his powers yet, so they need to practice a modicum of discretion.
'You can tell me how to use my powers. But don't tell me who to use them on' Christian replies, narrowing his eyes. 'Dear brother...I cleaned up the murder of your father for you...I've been taking your recovery exactly at your pace...' Emma begins, to which the green-skinned mutant scratches their head and asks 'Umm, did you say murder?' as Emma tells Christian that at this stage of his journey, she gets a say in what he can and cannot do. Christian tells Emma that he is grateful for that, but he wants to use his mutant powers without feeling the shame. Emma suggests to Christian that externalizing his pain may prove productive, that maybe this time his psionic projection won't be their father. Emma suddenly removes her fur coat, revealing her black costume underneath, she hands her coat to the green-skinned mutant and telepathically commands them to look after it and to use this time to study and appreciate the care a couturier puts into an 'Hermes” garment 'Study... appreciate...' the mutant responds.
At that moment, the drag queen called Shade walks past, and stops and watches Emma and Christian run off down through the festival. Christian tells Emma that she really is a saint. 'I'm keenly aware' Emma responds as she switches to her diamond form. Shade tells herself that she would recognize that diamond skin anywhere, and opening her Darkforce fan, decides that she is going to see what kind of Hellfire Emma is getting up to.
Back underground: 'Look, I get why you want an army to mind-control...it isn't because you can't trust accomplices or wait for the cycle of evolution' Bobby tells Sinister, blocking the villain's kick with an ice-shield, while around them, Bobby's ice-golems battle the other golems that are under Sinister's control. Bobby slams Sinister back and tells him that he sees himself in him – the arrogance, perhaps. Bobby adds that the Latin root word for that is loneliness. 'You're on century two of living, and you still can't find a friend' Bobby points as he  smacks Sinister backwards. Sinister rubs his jaw, then knocks Bobby back, declaring that the childish prattling amused him to a point – and that point is now. He then picks up a large lance-type weapon, energy crackling around the blade, Sinister boasts that he will unearth Bobby's powers and continue his plan. He tells Bobby to enjoy this moment, as he has two armies off to spoil his mutant pep rally.
Sinister brings the energy lance down on Bobby, who throws up an ice-shield to protect himself, but screams as the energy strikes his form. Bobby looks at his arm in shock, before Sinister leaps into the air and declares that, for what it is worth, he concurs with Bobby's earlier assessment: 'You are stupid. Truly' Sinister remarks as he drops back down towards Bobby, who gets back into action, hurling a large spiked ice-formation towards Sinister, who cuts it in half with the lance. Sinister lands and lunges forward, shoving the lance against Bobby's abdomen, where it creates some strange whirling effect, as his ice-form begins to repair itself around the wound Sinister made. 'Huh. Lookit what you just made me do!' Bobby jokes.
Back at the parade, humans and mutants alike run in fear as the faux-Marauders battle the Morlocks, Bishop and the Frost siblings. 'Bishop! Mein Gott!' Nightcrawler gasps as he teleports onto the street, where he finds Bishop absorbing the energy weapon fired at him by one of the faux-Marauders. Madin knocks out her opponent, while another Morlock with long green tentacle arms traps two more of the faux-Marauders. Emma punches her opponent, while Christian uses his new ability to create psychic constructs against another of the hateful people, and another Morlock hovers above, spitting an acid-like substance at the faux-Marauders. 'Finally, a little backup!' Madin declares when she sees Nightcrawler. 'Yep' Bishop agrees, before the faux-Marauder fires another blast towards him. 'Time to fry, freak!' the faux-Marauder shouts. 'Taste your own hate, %$&#' Bishop retorts as he absorbs the blast and directs it back at his opponent.
'Frost!' Nightcrawler calls out when he sees Emma amongst the battle. 'Now's not the time' Emma calls back, while Christian projects a psychic construct of his father and uses him to take down one of the faux-Marauders. 'That is for telling me I'm nothing! And for telling me I deserved to die in an unmarked grave! And for -' Christian shouts as he uses the psychic construct of his father to attack another faux-Marauder, unaware that another of them is running up behind him, until he turns around to see that faux-Marauder suddenly disappear through a Darkforce portal. 'Don't mind me. Just throwing shade, henny' Shade calls out as she holds up her Darkforce fan, when suddenly, there is a violent shake and Christian and Shade are thrown through the air. Christian looks up and sees several large ice-golems running towards the fight. 'Seriously? It never ends!' Christian mutters. 'Welcome to the real world' Emma tells him as she kicks one of the golems.
Meanwhile, Sinister shoves the lance through Iceman once again, 'Is this what the kids mean by “vape life”?' Bobby asks, before he hears Forge's voice over his communicator, informing him that his drones are catching a fight outside of the parade, and asks him if he is done there. 'Edward James Almost!' Bobby grins as he heals the hole that Sinister just made in his chest. 'You self-righteous child!' Sinister shouts as he throws another piece of machinery towards Bobby, who dodges it. The machinery lands against some other equipment and causes an explosion. 'Eep! Call you back!' Bobby tells Forge, while Sinister tells him that all he has is a new parlor trick, and angrily declares that he has been deconstructing every known genome and discovering the depths of Bobby's capabilities for months. 'What could you possibly have to stop me besides child's play?' Sinister asks.
'I mean, friends? Boyish good looks? I've got a whole list, but...' Bobby replies before leaping towards Sinister and reminds him that he told him he was over his “prattling” so shoves two largev ice-spikes through Sinister's chest. 'I guess all that's left is for me to go omega-level on your butt' Bobby announces as he increases his mass, turning himself into a large winged ice-creature, he bursts out of the theater, up through the building, with Sinister hooked to his body, he flies higher and higher, Bobby tells Sinister that he doesn't know how to kill him, and nor is it his place to. 'Just think long and hard before you try me again. Enjoy kissing the atmosphere' Bobby tells the villain as he hurls him upwards into the star-filled sky above. 'Still more day to save down there...' Bobby tells himself as he reverts to his regular form and drops downwards, back to the city, he lands amongst the battle.
'No!' Madin calls out as two ice-golems loom over her. 'Now, now. Be nice to Madin' Bobby calls out as he starts to re-absorb the ice from the golems controlled by Sinister, and as he does, he discovers that there are mutants underneath the ice. He increases his capacity, a spectacular display of Bobby absorbing the ice, while Madin looks up at him, 'That was -' she begins. 'Ice timing, amirite?' Bobby smiles as the absorbed ice is re-directed to the faux-Marauders, trapping them in solid blocks of ice. Madin then realizes that those freed from Sinister's ice-golems are the Morlocks that went missing. 'Way to use one army to stop another...' Bishop remarks, as the Morlocks reconnect with their thought-missing companions. Emma watches the scene and then tells Christian that it is time for them to go.
Festival goers get the phones out and start recording the spectacular icy scene before them. 'Oh my God' a woman utters. 'I know' a man smiles. 'Powerful' another woman remarks, before wondering how they kept this installation of a dystopian future under wraps until the very end. Bobby smiles at Bishop and asks him if calling Madin was his idea. 'Let's just say you're gonna be buying Hoagies for two...for a while' Bishop replies, while another civilian calls out 'Wow, so important. I think I'm gonna use the x-pro filter'.
Later, at the Xavier Institute, 'Why didn't you tell me?' Kitty Pryde shouts as she sits on a sofa across from Bobby, who creates some ice cubs in his drink. Bobby tells Kitty that he had it all under control, and that she was busy enough running the parade on top of being headmistress. He adds that Sinister won't be bothering them for a long time, before informing Kitty that he has still got to sort some stuff out with Madin, but he thinks the Morlocks are warming up to him. 'Plus, after your wedding...' Bobby's voice trails off as he tells Kitty that he really wanted something to go right for her, and take something off her plate. 'By trying to stop Mr Sinister, his makeshift Marauders and an army of Frankenstein'd Morlocks on your own?' Kitty replies, wrapping her arms around Bobby and telling him that she loves him. 'Love youb back, Kitty' Bobby responds, before Kitty gets up and announces that shev needs some sleep. She then warns Bobby to be ready for her to wake up with more to be mad at him about. 'But it's my birth month!' Bobby protests.
A short time later, 'Finally!' Bobby exclaims as he leaps onto his bed. He hugs the pillow, 'Emergered...t huth feelth tho good' he mubmles, speaking into the pillow. 'Good night, Manhattan! Leave me alone!' Bobby then calls out, unaware that outside, on the grounds surrounding the Xavier Institute, an icy figure in a dark cloak stands and watches the Xavier Institute. The icy figure has a long beard, and tells Bobby to sleep well, and that he will be seeing him very soon.

Identity Disc: part 1
(Nevada, 1984…)
Adrian’s wife has locked him out of their car. Adrian demands to be back left inside, but Cheryl refuses. She just doesn’t want to raise their daughter while on the run. Cheryl starts the car and drives away, but Adrian jumps in front of it, making her stop. He tries to make her understand that it’s still their daughter they are talking about, and not just Cheryl’s. She can’t just leave him here in the middle of nowhere!
Cheryl cries. She explains to Adrian that’s not going to happen. Suddenly, sand starts to move around, and the wind gets stronger. Adrian realizes what’s going on, and starts to run. Helicopters arrive, and soldiers jump out. Cheryl drives away, with her daughter crying and watching everything from the backseat. Adrian screams, but the soldiers don’t care about it and just arrest the man.
(The Horn Bar, Brooklyn. One week ago…)
A mysterious woman shows villains the Vulture and Sandman pictures of a pretty girl, being arrested. The woman claims that the girl is Vulture’s daughter. He believes her, since he is the father. The woman informs that the girl could use her dad’s help right now, because all the evidence against her is pretty bad, and she can get hung in Texas.
Sandman thinks the woman is threatening them, and defends his friend and warns her to be careful. The woman explains she knows exactly who the villains are, and isn’t scared one bit. Sandman warns her to be careful, and to give him one good reason why he shouldn’t beat her up. The woman gives Sandman two reasons: one, if anything should happen to her, the Vulture’s daughter is certain to meet her doom, and secondly… She remains silent for a while, and tosses an envelope to the Sandman. He opens it, and takes a picture out of it. He takes a closer look to it, and… it’s just horrible.
Vulture asks his friend what’s wrong. Sandman explains that he just saw a picture of his mother, killed by an AK-47. The mysterious woman has made her point, and asks the two gentlemen to meet her tomorrow, at midnight, at pier 27 in warehouse 9. And she warns the villains to better not disappoint her. She leaves, and buys the poor guys another drink.
Avatar 1: “That was her first approach. I later learned she sought out the others that very same night…”
(Upper West Side…)
Cain Marko walks out of the movie theatre, alone, and heads home. When passing a newspaper stand, he takes some time to check the latest news. And surprisingly… he reads an article about himself being framed for murder! The same mysterious woman approaches Cain, and tells him not to worry, as it’s all just a hoax. Cain doesn’t recognize the woman, but makes it clear to her that he remembers the day he found that woman, and she was already dead when he got to her.
The woman understands that Cain probably didn’t report the murder to the authorities because he was still evil in those days, even though that’s different today. But, she’s certain that many will believe he’s guilty when they see the picture. So, in order for her not to release the news, the woman wants Cain to do a job for her. Cain at first refuses since he doesn’t do that kind of work anymore. That’s fine by the woman, who tells him they’ll meet again in the courtroom. Cain changes his mind, and the woman tells Cain to meet her at the same address she told Sandman and Vulture to meet her.
(Staten Island…)
Sabretooth sits in a bar, enjoying a drink. He gets tossed an envelope. Creed opens it, and takes a look inside. His mood immediately changes, and tells the exact same woman from before that he’ll kill her for this. The woman says that’s fine, but warns Creed that, if he does that, two hours later, the document in his hands will be made public, and the whole world would know his much-guarded secret. She asks him to do a job for her, and where to meet her.
Avatar 2: “Okay, I get the picture. She got everyone over a barrel, then gave ‘em the same spiel. Fast-forward, okay? We don’t have all day.”
Avatar 1: “A-all right. We’ll jump ahead to the next night. Pier 27, Warehouse 9. Midnight.”
Deadpool jumps through the window, and lands in the warehouse. Though he’s not the first, as Bullseye was already waiting. They joke and Bullseye sarcastically shows Wade his perfect aiming skills, and destroys a lamp. Deadpool wonders if their meeting is coincidence, or not. Bullseye isn’t sure. Deadpool continues to joke, and wonders what their mystery woman might have on him. Could Bullseye wet his bed? Or does he have a secret boyfriend, who’s an Avenger? Or even worse, Wade adds… a Defender?
The Vulture and Sandman enter. A sobbing Vulture explains to everyone that, for him, it’s his daughter whom he hasn’t seen for twenty years. Sandman asks his friend to be silent, and not to embarrass himself. Sabretooth arrives, and he and Deadpool immediately hang into each other’s hair. An entering Juggernaut breaks the two up and calms them down.
The woman arrives, and introduces herself as Valeria Merrick, and claims to be working for Tristram Silver. The villains are suddenly all quiet for a while, and then all claim not to believe her, except for the Vulture, who almost burst up in tears, saying “not again.” Cain doesn’t understand and asks for an explanation. Sandman explains that Silver is just an urban legend, a bogeyman. He’s a fictional crime-lord who’s supposedly got the whole world at his might. Deadpool confirms, and mentions that Silver used to be a running joke when he used to be in the black ops.
Vulture claims otherwise. He explains that he’s much older than the rest of the villains, and therefore also has been around much longer. He reveals that sixteen years ago, he had some dealings with Silver’s “organization,” if that’s the word you would use for a global network of absolutely vicious, completely amoral, fanatically loyal agents who’ll live or die to serve one man. Though Vulture never truly saw Silver’s face, he hopes he never will. Silver’s the sum of total of human depravity. Utterly and ruthlessly devoted to his own grotesque aims, lacking even a shred of human feeling. If all the world would have a single neck, Tristram Silver would snap it with his bare hands and consider it a privilege.
Adrian was foolhardily back in the old days. He actually thought he could cross Silver. But he was wrong. Silver’s… creatures burnt Adrian out of his home, beat him and then left him for dead. When he eventually recovered, he was so stricken with fear that he went legitimate, got his engineering degree and went into business with a partner, though that didn’t work out, either. Bullseye has heard that Silver is more than three hundred years old, and that he was the reason the French Revolution ended up in a bloodbath. Sabretooth has heard that Silver owns the world’s largest slave market, right in Midtown Manhattan.
Valeria corrects that there are a lot of stories about Silver, and some he has even started himself, since it sometimes… helps him in business. Though, this doesn’t make the stories less true. Cain is still confused and wants to know what all this has to do with them. Valeria explains that Silver has asked her to ask the villains to obtain the Identity Disk for them. The others are startled and thought the Disk was an urban legend as well! But Vulture hasn’t heard it being mentioned for years. Cain doesn’t know what the Disk is, either.
The Identity Disk is a database, which contains the civilian identities, home addresses, medical histories, known relatives and even credit reports of every costumed operative in America! Deadpool jokes that the Disk might know where his Aunt Marigold lives, as he meant to pay her a visit so he could kill her. Bullseye gets Wade’s point, and realizes that the Disk would also contain information about them, so why would they bother helping out? Valeria mentions that most of the villains have already done prison time, and that their “secrets,” are already a matter of public record. But, there are exceptions, she says, like Sabretooth. He growls.
And right now, the Disk is in the hands of A.I.M. Bullseye calls her crazy, and wonders if Silver doesn’t have men of his own to deal with that crazy organization. Valeria is disappointed, as she thought they’d already understood: the gathered villains are now Silver’s men! Juggernaut recalls that A.I.M. has got an entire island in the Caribbean and can’t just storm it, since they are criminals and not an army. Valeria explains they don’t have to do that. She has learned that A.I.M. has only recently obtained the Disk and that, for the moment, it’s still in their Manhattan base. And therefore, time is of essence. It needs to be taken from them now, before they have a chance to move it. And to do that, Silver needs different talents than his usual thugs with guns can supply: he needs these six men.
And none of them are in a position not to accept the job. Valeria claims that Silver finds the super heroes to be inconvenient. If the villains succeed in the job, Silver will send them after the heroes so that they can properly finish them all off. All of the X-Men, Avengers, even Spider-Man… they will be dead and ruined. Valeria just wants the villains to think about what they’ve got to loose. Sandman gets furious, and doesn’t believe one word of it all. He attacks Valeria, but the other villains defend her, fearing the idiot might ruin it for the rest of them. Everyone attacks, except for Bullseye, who remains calm but takes his chewing gum out his mouth, and aims it towards the battlefield.
Everyone surrounds Sandman, giving Valeria a chance to shoot him. Sandman isn’t impressed, but Valeria still smiles. She mentions that she has a complete file about him, and for instance has learned that the so-called “sand” Baker is made of, is really an organically charged form of silicon dioxide. A substance that’s virtually insoluble, except in hydrofluoric acid, which the bullet was made of. Sandman’s body starts to change, and he literally… melts!
Sandman sinks away through the sewers, begging for help. But nobody does anything. Valeria stares at the amazed villains, and wants to know if they can begin.

Identity Disc: part 2
Realizing that sending the villains to AIM’s headquarters without an attack plan would be stupid, Valeria has thought up an idea: she’ll split them up, and has three different objectives for them. She explains what they are.
Sabretooth and Vulture will infiltrate the midtown offices of Koenig & Strey, a front for AIM, and their task is to procure a detailed layout of the AIM base in upper Manhattan where the Identity Disc is currently held. However, the trick will be to so without alerting AIM itself of their presence. Deadpool and Bullseye are to head to the Brooklyn Institute of Technology. They have to obtain from the Institute’s lab an experimental, prototype computer chip that has the ability to bypass even the most intricate security code on any kind of program ever made. It’s kind of a digital skeleton key.
Juggernaut will proceed to the AIM base itself, and make note of any external security measures that may need to be factored into the villain’s approach. Valeria ends the briefing, and makes it clear that they have to report back to her by midnight. She tells the villains to move, as Silver isn’t paying them by the hour.
Avatar 2: “So this Valeria Merrick wasn’t one to waste time.”
Avatar 1: “No. And after what happened to Sandman, no one felt much like arguing with her. The teams split up immediately and went to work…”
Later, Vulture and Sabretooth arrive at the AIM building. Vulture mocks Sabretooth’s obvious clothes, as he’s wearing an orange jacket with a cowboy head. Creed doesn’t care, since he isn’t the one going behind the scenes. He warns the Vulture not to mess things up. They split up, and Creed enters the building. He and another man who works at the building enter the elevator. The kind man asks Creed at what floor he wants to be. Sarcastically, Creed responds “the 43th.” The man realizes that something’s wrong, as there are only 40 stages in the building, however, it comes too late. The elevator closes, and Sabretooth brutally slaughters the man.
After killing the man, Creed puts his Sabretooth costume on, breaks out of the elevator and climbs up the airshaft. He enters the top floor, and immediately growls, ready for action. Security is called, who warn the other staff to evacuate the building. Everyone leaves, unaware that they now give the Vulture to do his part. He cuts the windows open, and enters the computer room. He goes to sit by one, and activate it. He claims there’s no need for pointless hacking when he’s got blind panic on his side. Since the staff left in a hurry, the system’s are still open, and the Vulture can just take what he needs. Despite his arthritis, Adrian moves as fast as he can to save the files he needs.
Meanwhile, Sabretooth goes on a rampage, and murders everyone in his sight. Suddenly, he takes a look on the clock nearby him, and escapes through the elevator shaft.
Avatar 1: “Of course, they never found him. Sabretooth has all the stealth of his namesake. But as far as they were concerned, he didn’t get whatever he came for. By the time they discovered the data theft – if they ever did -, it was too late.”
Avatar 2: “And the others?”
Avatar 1: “As I understand it, things went pretty routinely for the Juggernaut…”
Juggernaut is guarding the AIM building in his civilian clothes, acting casually and reading a newspaper. He reports all that goes on outside the building, namely vans driving in and out, and is bored by it. He even thinks about skipping the job, as he’s certain he’s innocent and wants to go get someone to help him fight the murder he has been charged with. After all, he’s the only one of the gathered villains who has tried to make an effort to keep his nose clean lately. However, Cain changes his mind, and moves on with the job, and continues reporting to Valeria.
Avatar 2: “And Bullseye and Deadpool?”
Avatar 1: “As you might expect, that went a little different…”
Deadpool and Bullseye have arrived at the University, but hide in a tree and wait until it’s dark to make their move. Wade jokes when he sees all the students, and claims that he could have made a great one and wished he had stayed in school when he was a kid. Now, seeing all this, Wade kind of regrets the mercenary life he has chosen to live. Wade stops talking, and wants to blow up something.
A cool Bullseye remembers him to wait till sunset. Wade thinks about selling the skeleton key Valeria told them about, and maybe also the Identity Disk once they have it. Bullseye doesn’t thinks so, as he understands that it’s all still a prototype, and can only be used once and not be reprogrammed. Plus Valeria also mentioned that the feds are suing for taking over the project, so they’re just in time to snap the Disk before they take it.
Wade understands. Though he’s tired of the waiting, and asks when sunset will be. Bullseye explains that it’ll take an hour or so. Wade wants to pass time, and asks Bullseye what Valeria used to blackmail him. For Wade, it’s his first wife, Gretchen. He has almost run out of women to obsess about, and he never got any kind of closure from Gretchen. Unless you count a restraining order, but Wade believes that Gretchen just meant that as a tease. Anyway, Valeria promised Wade to help find her. He changes the subject, and asks Bullseye why he’s in for, but he doesn’t want to tell.
However, Wade whines about it and, to make him shut up, Bullseye agrees to spill it. He explains that his problem is the double-dipping. He went on a retainer for two opposing syndicates, simultaneously. He took two jobs, figured they’d never compare notes. Though, they did and suddenly Bullseye is in the crosshairs from both sides. He had a couple close calls, realized he might have bitten off more than he could chew. Suddenly, Valeria drops in out of nowhere, and she knew everything, and offered to smooth it over for him, so Bullseye accepted to do the job for her. He trusts Valeria… for now.
An hour later, sunset falls. It’s time for Bullseye and Deadpool to rock and roll. Deadpool shoots the door’s lock, and they enter the hallways. They get spotted by a security guard, but Bullseye quickly knocks him out. They enter an office and find a safe. Bullseye concentrates his eye on it, and notices the safe’s door lock. He fixates on the lock, and throws a small ball against it, and manages to get it open. Bullseye takes the key, and wants to leave. However Deadpool cries for not having got any “rock and roll” and won’t leave before he had any. He takes out his guns, and shoots the safe into pieces.
Avatar 2: “Typical. So, what then? Everyone reconvened at midnight?”
Avatar 1: “Not exactly…”
Deadpool enters the warehouse alone, and the others have already gathered. Valeria is a little angry with him for being late, but Wade claims that traffic was murder. He makes up by throwing the key to Valeria, who congratulates them for a job well done. But, she wants to know where Bullseye is. Wade goes to sit next to a growling Sabretooth, and informs Valeria that Bullseye took off, and just said he had something to do, but didn’t told him what.
Bullseye is at a bar, asking the customers information about Silver, but they only know rumors. All claim to have known someone who claims to have seen the guy once. The other villains arrive at the bar and notice Bullseye. Juggernaut realizes what he has been up to, and tells Bullseye that it wasn’t clever to do and asks him if he’s pulling out. Bullseye hesitates, but answers that he won’t. At least, not for a little while. He further explains that, before going deeper into this, he prefers to know who they’re really dealing with, and doesn’t really believe Valeria on her word and doesn’t want to be played.
Sabretooth feels it doesn’t matter, since Valeria knows how to blackmail them, so they have no choice. Still, Deadpool feels that, if Silver isn’t real, they might get something better out of this job. The bartender can’t help but overhear the villains discussing Silver, and wants to tell them a true story he has heard about the man, back from the early days when Silver first started out.
It begins in Small Burg in central Europe. Silver spent years building up an organization there. Violence, extortion, protectionism… he did it all. Finally, he owned the town and everyone in it. He decided he could now expand his influence. But that’s just what the people of the town had been expecting. They ambushed Silver’s party and slaughtered his men. Silver, however, they couldn’t kill. It was all they could do to bring him down. They threw him in a jail and left him to rot. Spent the rest of the day congratulating themselves.
Two days later, the town fathers woke up… alone! Somehow, during the night, all of their wives had been taken. They were just… gone. Not a trace or clue was left. Markets were left empty. Kitchens unattended. Children left motherless. Though the last was only temporarily, because, two days later, the children were gone as well! And two days after that, the servants as well. Though it’s possible they just packed their things and left without telling.
By this time, the burghers had figured out Silver was behind it. Fearing for their lives, they decided better let him go. Silver anticipated that they might strike against him. And so, months earlier, he’d set up this counterstrike. Just to have one, in case of. Next, he single-handedly slew all the burghers and razed the town to the ground. Then he made his fellow prisoners his new gang and moved on. No trace of the missing townspeople was ever found. This was when the world first learned that you never, ever cross Tristram Silver.
That’s it for Bullseye: he’s out. The Vulture doesn’t understand, and asks the hitman if he didn’t heard the story. He did already, and that’s why Bullseye wants out before things can get any deeper. Realizing that Valeria only offered him protection, Bullseye has other resources to go and thanks Deadpool for giving him the idea of selling the key chip. Deadpool is confused, as he already gave Valeria the chip. Bullseye smiles, and explains that he acted fast and replaced the chip with a falls one, which is the one Deadpool gave to her.
Sabretooth gets angry and won’t let Bullseye ruin things for the rest of them. Juggernaut, Vulture, Deadpool and Sabretooth surround Bullseye and want to stop him. Unimpressed, Bullseye quickly picks up some toothpickers from his table, and throws them real fast towards the villain’s heads. While they protect themselves, Bullseye makes a run for it. With the Vulture, for some reason, staying back, the others go after him and beat him up.
Valeria enters, and orders them to stop. They all do, and Vulture asks Valeria how she found them. She just responds that she didn’t found them: she knew where they were because she works for Tristram Silver. Bullseye hands her over the real chip, and she thanks him for it. She smiles, and tells the other villains that she has moved up the timetable, and that the operation begins immediately.

Identity Disc: part 3
Valeria shows the villains a few holographic images concerning the A.I.M. building. She has some interesting revelations for them. She explains that the building appears to stand seven stories, but in fact, there are no stories at all! The whole building is a shell. Preliminary analysis of the technology at ground level suggests the place is designed to function as both a missile silo and launch pad. Valeria has marked those spots in the images, to make it clear to the villains, but they won’t be spending much time there. She adds that the administrative, data and storage facilities are located underground.
She thinks that if they go deep enough, at sub-basement 4 to be precise, they’ll find the base’s intelligent nexus. Lastly, she shows the villains the point where they have to make their move: at the lowest and most secure level of the complex, since that’s where they’ll find the Identity Disc. Valeria prints out this information, and hands it to the villains to memorize and later to destroy. She tells the Vulture to do it as well, even though he won’t be spending much time with the others.
Juggernaut’s confused and wants to know what the old man will be doing instead. Valeria just adds that Toomes has capabilities the others have not. Deadpool doesn’t see what: fly, perhaps? He jokes that many other guys have that ability, even those born after the Civil War! Valeria clears up that the Vulture is also an engineering wizard. His job is to breach the base’s generator and use the digital skeleton key to cut the power. However, she warns that it’ll take just twenty or thirty seconds for the backup generators to kick in.
Bullseye wants to know what interest Silver might have in this. Valeria explains that the power outage will enable them to enter the building by the most unexpected means possible: the front door!
Avatar 2: “Gotta give this Merrick girl credit. She’s a smooth one…”
Avatar 1: “’Course, there was the little problem of getting to the front door. That’s where the info Juggernaut gathered on his recon outside the base came in handy.”
Sabretooth drives the villains to Manhattan and picks up something to eat and drink. Deadpool jokes about Bullseye, who’s having trouble eating because his cheeks are still in a bad condition after the beat-up he took. Bullseye doesn’t respond, but throws a stick towards Deadpool’s neck, and makes it bleed. Deadpool laughs, as his mutant healing factor already heals the wounds. Sabretooth tells them to quit it. He notices a van passing by, and makes his move and drives into it, causing a crash.
He gets out and apologizes to the driver, claiming he’s got plenty of insurance. He gives the driver his agent’s card, and he wants to take it, but Creeds smiles and instead kills the driver! 8 A.I.M. agents immediately rush out of the van, with their guns ready. The unimpressed villains move over to action, and kill them all.
Avatar 2: “Engaging A.I.M. on a Manhattan street? … Taking some chances there.”
Avatar 1: “What chances? That the good citizens would rise up and put a stop to it? Right. And when it comes to pitched battle on civilian turf, you’re hardly one to criticize. Anyway, the whole mess was over in a matter of seconds…”
The villains are disappointed at how easy it was, but Sabretooth warns them to move to the next part of the plan, and get into the A.I.M. suits. They do, and the Vulture departs to do his end of the task. He flies towards the A.I.M. building, and passes the guards who don’t even notice him. He opens a window, and enters the office he needed to be in. Meanwhile, the others have suited up, and are ready to move.
Avatar 1: “From there, it was just blocks to the base. But there was trouble ahead.”
Once at the base, the guard notices the scratch on the van, and asks what happened. Creed lies that they had to avoid a dog and hit a post. He shows the guard a pass, and they are let through, but have to report to the garage for a fix. The villains drive further into the building, but more guards stop them, and the villains just have to wait for the Vulture to cut the power to be able to get through.
Meanwhile, the Vulture has made it to the power sublevel, and smiles. He notices the Kirby-O-Tron, which is almost certainly the generator. He wants to cut it, but gets spotted by A.I.M. agents, who point their guns at his head and ask him what he’s doing there.
The villains notice the guards getting suspicious, and aren’t really sure what to do. The Vulture tries to escape, but the agents grab him. Mentioning that he has fought Spider-Man in the past, he won’t let himself be defeated this way. However, the agents are stronger than he is, and punch the villain down the ground.
The others decide to just step out of their van, and the guards allow them to pass through the door behind them. However, once there, they notice that the power’s still on, which isn’t good. The Vulture uses his costume talons to smash the agents away from them, and heads towards the generator, wanting to shut it off. However, one of the agents is still standing, and points his gun to the Vulture’s head.
Some of the others want to go over to their backup plan, namely to kill all the agents, but realize that by doing this they’ll blow their one shot at getting the Disc. Sabretooth and Bullseye buy some time to fake that they’re arguing about Bullseye cutting the line, and the guards buy it. Suddenly, the power gets off, and they stop their bickering.
The Vulture swears that he has fought Daredevil in the past, and was even in the Sinister Six. He claims to be stronger and faster than a hundred men his age. He moved so fast that the agent with the gun didn’t even see his defeat coming. The Vulture took the time he had to cut off the power. However, more A.I.M. agents now enter.
A gathering of all the A.I.M. agents is held, and the villains are caught in between. Their leader orders his loyal acolytes that the power has already been restored, and the culprit has been apprehended. He warns that nothing must get through their schedule and must deliver the missiles at the appointed hour. The villains whisper and realize that A.I.M. must plan to use the missiles in some big game for power, and must have used to Identity Disc to get the heroes out of the way. They don’t see a problem in that, and just want to find the elevator to…
However, A.I.M.’s leader notices that they go into the wrong direction, and demands to know where they think they’re going.

Identity Disc: part 4
Avatar 1: “So there they were… Juggernaut, Bullseye, Sabretooth and Deadpool… disguised in yellow A.I.M. suits, their cover somehow blown, surrounded on all sides by the hordes of A.I.M. The situation was critical, and deteriorating rapidly, to say the least.”
The AIM spokesman again asks the villains, dressed as AIM agents, where they think they are going. They fake to be going back to their posts, like the spokesman asked them, but he is aware that they are lying. He explains that he knows because he has a second-by-second diagram in his hands, which describes every single movement every agent of AIM has made, and that a simple blackout can’t fool him.
Suddenly, a gigantic explosion takes place! The villains get out of the Hydra agent suits and back in their costumes, with Sabretooth suspecting that the Vulture must be behind it. They all start attacking the AIM agents, until the Vulture flies in. He warns that some agents shot at him and he dodged the bullets, but in return they hit the generators, and now the whole base is going to blow up in a matter of seconds!
Another explosion takes place, which takes out the Vulture. Juggernaut and Deadpool realize that, from now on, things can only get worse. Sabretooth won’t leave without the Disc. Bullseye and Deadpool decide to give him some backup. The Vulture gets up, and won’t risk being taken and decides to fly away. He tries, but an agent shoots him.
Bullseye tries to fight, but gets outnumbered by a horde of agents. Juggernaut helps him out and slams all the agents out of the way, giving Bullseye room to move. He throws some throwing stars at the agents and takes them out, but more agents soon follow, and surround both him and Sabretooth. He has had enough, and wants to end this.
Bullseye shouts at Juggernaut and Deadpool to take the perimeter circle. They punch their way through the agents, and make it to their teammates. They want to know if they’ve got a plan. Sabretooth suggests the same plan they came in with: find the Disc, grab it and leave, but first they’ll need a distraction to get rid of the AIM agents.
Deadpool smirks, as a sacrifice play is his specialty. He asks Juggernaut to lift him up, and Wade gets tossed in the middle of all of the AIM agents!
Avatar 2: “Crazy son of a she-dog.”
Avatar 1: “Well… yes. But in this case, also a consummate professional. He knew he was the obvious choice to play decoy, ‘cause of his freak healing power. And it worked. He gave the others the few seconds they needed to break away.”
The villains fight their way through the agents, and Bullseye warns them to head towards the elevators, as it’s their only way to get to the Disc. Juggernaut hopes that Bullseye is right about that one. Though, once they get there, they discover that the shaft has been shafted! Sabretooth decides to show one of his specialties: while the others get cornered again, he jumps straight down into the deep elevator shaft!
Juggernaut and Bullseye bicker about who’s next to go. Juggernaut wants to stay and guard Bullseye’s back while he jumps, because facing impossible odds is his specialty. Bullseye smiles, and says he eats impossible odds for breakfast. Not wanting to waste any more time, Bullseye just pushes Juggernaut inside the shaft. Bullseye takes out a few more throwing stars, and is ready for it. He throws them against the arriving horde of AIM agents, and kills some of them, but the others soon overwhelm Bullseye and punch him unconscious.
Avatar 2: “Okay, so that’s Bullseye and Deadpool down… but what about the last two? What about Sabretooth and Juggernaut?”
Avatar 1: “Sorry, this is where I run dry. Whatever happened to them down that elevator shaft, is something I can’t even conjecture.”
Sabretooth lands after his jump, and takes a look around. Though, he notices too late that the Juggernaut is falling down, and Cain slams down right on Creed’s back! Cain gets up and apologizes to the now unconscious Creed, but finds it kind of ironic. He is now the only one of the original six who was trying to improve his life, and whom nobody else trusted. Now, he is the last man standing! Not that he’s complaining, mind you.
Cain wanders around the tunnels and soon gets lost. He tried reaching the intel bay, but can’t find it. He thinks he went in the wrong direction and plans to head back. Unfortunately, another explosion takes place, and hits him! Cain survives, and discovers that the explosion moved him a little further ahead. Turning his back, Cain finds the intel bay.
Upon entering it, he finds a big light, with in the middle the Identity Disc! Cain reaches into the light, which tickles. He laughs and thinks that if this is supposed to be a security mechanism, AIM never saw him coming. After grabbing it, Cain thinks it’s best he makes sure he checks out if it’s the real one. He puts the Disc inside a computer, which opening screen automatically gives the logo of AIM. Cain clicks further, and… only finds information concerning the locations of AIM’s plutonium bases and where their sleeper agents are stationed! That means…
A voice from behind explains to Juggernaut that this means that he discovered something he shouldn’t have. Cain turns around, and realizes that the person he is seeing is behind all this. The person shoots a dart inside Juggernaut’s mouth. He tries to fight back, but when swallowing the dart, he falls unconscious. Another explosion takes place.
Outside the building, firemen arrive to put out the enormous fire. They wonder if there are any survivors, and one of the firemen notices someone coming down. It’s the Vulture! His wings are on fire, and the Vulture falls down. Soldiers quickly surround him, and point their guns at him. The Vulture asks them to wait, claiming he can explain.
