Untitled
Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops stares at the five young people before him and his first thought, the one that really sticks, is that he has lost it. After all that he has been through, all the people that crawled inside his head, all the hard choices he has made, all the things he has done in the name of his mutant people - maybe he has just lost control of himself.Magneto stands nearby and frowns, while Cyclops wonders if he doesn’t know the difference between fantasy and reality anymore. Then, as he sees the original X-Men - Beast, Marvel Girl, Angel, Iceman and himself - standing before him, he thinks of all the mutants he knows with telepathic and mind control powers - Mastermind? Mentallo? Emma Frost? A red flare of optic energy surges behind his visor, and Scott wonders if Emma has been lying about not having her psychic powers anymore.
Scott recalls that Emma made it clear that she is angry, ‘Even though I’m the one who should be angry’ he thinks to himself. ‘Maybe the White Queen has finally shown her true self. But if it was her, she wouldn’t let me think this’ Scott decides, before wondering if it was Xavier, that perhaps Xavier cannot be killed, and maybe he is inside his head right now. ‘Maybe Xavier is right in front of me and he’s not allowing me to see him. He’s only allowing me to see what he wants me to see. He wants me to see myself’ Scott decides. ‘He wants me to see who I was when he loved me. When I was everything that he wanted me to be. He wants me to see the original X-Men. He wants me to see us when we were pure. When we didn’t know any better. When we didn’t know what the world was really like‘.
Scott continues, thinking ‘But I know, in my heart that Xavier’s dead. And I know, if I really think about it, I know that no matter how angry Emma is - she would never do this’. So, Scott knows he has to really think about who would do this - who would punish him this viciously. He thinks about shape shifters - about Mystique. But he knows there would have to be five shape shifters, and they would have to be fantastic. ‘No. Somehow this is real. I am looking right at myself. I’m looking at the original X-Men. And they are looking right at me with such utter contempt. Damn it! I feel it in my bones. This is real. And there they are trying to figure out why I am standing next to Magneto. How could this be?’ Scott wonders.
Cyclops knows that his teenage self could not possibly fathom a world where Cyclops, leader of the X-Men, is an ally to a once mutant terrorist Magneto. He wonders who did this, who brought this nightmare, before realizing that Jean is in front of him. ‘There she is. Alive. Exactly how she looked when I first fell completely in love with her. So gorgeous. So…’ his thoughts trail off, as Jean Grey - Marvel Girl - suddenly shouts ‘Stop!’, while the present Cyclops thinks to himself that it’s her, it’s really her. ‘Stop talking!’ Marvel Girl exclaims. ‘What’s - no one is talking!’ Bobby “Iceman” Drake points out, while the young Cyclops turns to Jean, confused, and Magneto declares that this is an abomination. ‘Who would do this? Step forward! I want to meet the person who thought this was -’ Magneto is interrupted by Cyclops who thinks: ‘Oh my God! Look at her! Everything I ever wanted in life and she’s right -’ Jean screams ‘SHUT UP!’ and knocks Cyclops and Magneto away with a blast of telekinetic energy.
Everyone watches in shock, while Jean covers her head, and the present Cyclops lands head first on some concrete stairs nearby. The past Cyclops rushes over to Jean, who surrounds herself in telekinetic fury as she reveals ‘He did it. I hear his thoughts. He killed the Professor!’ But the present Cyclops tells Jean by “speaking” into her mind that he loves her, and he would never-- ‘Stop!’ Jean tells him, and uses her telekinesis to knock his visor off. Cyclops’s optic power darts about, and beams of energy strike the ground where the original Angel, Beast and Iceman are blasted backwards. ‘Stop!’ the past Cyclops calls out, releasing optic blasts, he fires them at his present self, who returns the blasts, which clash together in spectacular display. Eventually though, as their powers are forced against the other, the younger Scott falls.
Iceman moves towards the present Cyclops on an ice-sled and asks ‘What happened to you, man?’, while Cyclops is kneeling down, covering his face. He mutters ‘No, no, no’. Magneto raises a hand towards Iceman, and using his magnetic power throws a bicycle at his ice-sled, subsequently knocking Bobby from it. ‘Stop this!’ Magneto declares. ‘Oh no’ Heny McCoy a.k.a. the Beast remarks as he looks around. Magneto goes over to Cyclops, and contacts Illyana Rasputin, but Warren Worthington the Third a.k.a. Angel flies over to him. ‘Illyana. Get us out of here NOW!’ Magneto orders, and before Angel, Beast or Iceman can intervene, Magneto and the present Cyclops vanish in a blaze of blue energy.
‘He ran away? Magneto ran away?’ Iceman remarks. ‘Since when does he do that?’ Angel asks. ‘This isn’t the future. This planet is backwards!’ Iceman remarks, while Angel declares that he can’t believe Scott attacked them like that, not to mention that Magneto was hugging him. ‘Cyclops is a @$%# and Magneto is a coward? This is our future?’ Iceman asks, while Angel reminds everyone that he told them they shouldn’t have come here. ‘He threw a bicycle at me!’ Iceman complains. The past Cyclops sits and frowns, while Beast picks up Marvel Girl, who seems to have lost consciousness, and suggests to his friends that he thinks it is in their best interest that they depart post-haste.
Nearby on the campus, ‘Benjamin?’ a voice calls out, and a red-haired woman rushes over to Benjamin, asking him if he is okay. ‘I -’ Benjamin, a tall young man with black hair and baggy clothes begins to reply, while his friend asks him what is going on. Benjamin tells her that he has no idea. The red-haired women exclaims ‘You turn into a mutant and the fricken X-Men show up and start beating the hell out of each other?’ Benjamin finds it strange that the X-Men are leaving, as the Blackbird takes off into the sky. His friend remarks that this is crazy, and Benjamin wonders if they were here for him. His friend tells him that it looked like it, and Benjamin agrees.
His friend adds that she thinks this means Benjamin is actually a mutant. ‘I mean, that was Cyclops’ she exclaims. ‘Two Cyclops’ Benjamin replies as they regroup with other protestors at the campus. ‘Yeah. What was that?’ Benjamin’s friend wonders. A guy walks up to Benjamin and holds his mobile phone up to start recording him. Benjamin asks him to get that out of his face, but the other man shouts ‘Dude, you’re gonna be famous. Like rockstar famous’ and Benjamin just frowns.
Meantime, at the Weapon X facility, two newly discovered mutants examine their mysterious surroundings. ‘Are you okay?’ the young woman called Eva calls out to the young man known as Christopher, who is covering his mouth as if he is going to be sick and replies that he is trying not to throw up. ‘Yeah, I’ve never been magically transported by a mutant sorcerer before today either’ Eva remarks. ‘Just give me a sec’ Christopher tells her. Eva then introduces herself as Eva Bell, and Christopher reveals that his name is Christopher Muse, and tells Eva that he loves her accent. ‘Yeah, Aussie…all Americans do’ Eva replies. Christopher informs Eva that he just found out he is a mutant, and Eva reveals that she did too.
Christopher smiles at Eva and explains that he isn’t sure what he is doing here, and Eva replies that she isn’t either, but has nowhere else to go. Christopher reveals that he is wanted by the police. ‘I’ve never stolen even a candy bar in my life and now I’m wanted by the police’ he mutters. ‘Yeah, me too’ Eva announces .Christopher tells Eva that he didn’t know he had powers, and asks Eva what she does. ‘I don’t even know if I could say it out loud without screaming’ Eva tells him. ‘What?’ Christopher asks, before Eva announces that she is told she tops time. ‘How do you do that?’ Christopher asks. Eva tells him that she doesn’t know, and Christopher exclaims ‘That sounds pretty amazing!’
Eva tells Christopher that it sure doesn’t feel amazing, and asks him what he does. ‘I think I, kinda, heal people’ Christopher replies. ‘Like heal their wounds?’ Eva asks. ‘Yeah, I mean, so far’ Christopher tells her. Eva turns to Christopher and exclaims ‘Wow. That’ - that’s almost biblical’. Christopher turns away and mutters ‘Yeah. Biblical’ and asks Eva if she would think any less of him if he tells her that he is completely freaked out. Eva puts her hands on Christopher’s and tells him that he is her new best friend. ‘Good. Because I think I don’t have any anymore’ Christopher replies. Eva reveals that her family bailed on her, or so she thinks. ‘I don’t understand what I did that was so -’ Christopher begins, when suddenly, the chamber is filled with a brilliant blue light, as Illyana “Magik” Rasputin teleports in with Cyclops and Magneto.
‘What happened? Scott?’ Illyana calls out, but Magneto tells her to give Scott a moment. Scott walks away, and Illyana asks if it was an ambush. Emma Frost enters the chamber as Magneto announces that it was the X-Men. ‘They were there? How did they -?’ Emma asks, but Magneto declares ‘The original X-Men’. Emma asks him what that means.Eva and Christopher watch the renegade X-Men discuss the recent encounter, as Magneto explains that it was the original five - the original teenagers. ‘Scott as a young man. And Jean Grey’ he adds. ‘WHAT?’ Emma gasps. ‘Jean Grey is here. And they are none too happy’ Magneto states. ‘I’d imagine not’ Emma remarks, before Magneto asks her if she did this. Emma turns away from him, so Magneto shouts ‘ANSWER ME, FROST!’
Eva and Christopher look scared, and Emma turns back to Magneto, ‘Did I do what?’ she snaps, grinning nastily. ‘Did you do this?’ Magneto asks once more. ‘Are you getting crazy again?’ Emma snaps, before turning and walking up a flight of stairs. However, Magneto suggests to her that she leave Cyclops alone for a while. ‘Did you get the new mutant?’ Magik asks, but Magneto just turns and walks away from her. ‘So that is a no?’ Magik asks. ‘Jean Grey. That’s all I need’ Emma mutters, exasperated, while Magik wonders who would do such a thing.
At the Jean Grey School, the present-day Beast lies on a table in a laboratory. The present day Iceman stands nearby, while Kitty Pryde is on the phone to Reed Richards, again, and tells him that she doesn’t know why he hasn’t picked up, but that they really need him here. ‘Hank McCoy is in a bad way and you are one of the only people I can think of who can help’ Kitty says, before hanging up her phone, and remarking that she hopes Reed is okay. ‘Why wouldn’t he be okay?’ Bobby asks. Kitty points out that it is not like Reed to not answer a call for help, and because after what happened today, she doesn’t take anything for granted. ‘Yeah, I just talked to myself as a 16-year-old boy’ Bobby mutters.
‘And whose fault is that?’ Kitty asks. ‘There you go. I knew that was coming’ Iceman replies, as Kitty reminds Bobby that it was his idea. ‘Hank’s last words in fact were this was your idea. “Let Scott Summers see what he has become” And now we have Jean Grey running around’ Kitty declares. ‘That was insane’ Bobby agrees, adding that Jean looked so great. ‘Bobby’ Kitty exclaims. ‘You know what I mean’ Bobby tells her, while Kitty wonders what Scott thought of himself.
On Flattop Mountain in Colorado, the young X-Men have landed the Blackbird and Scott sits away from his friends, staring out over the landscape, while Hank is trying to wake Jean. ‘Please don’t have had an aneurysm. Please. I will never forgive myself’ Hank thinks to himself, when suddenly, Jean sits up. ‘What happened back there?’ Bobby asks as he rushes over. ‘You were reading Scott’s thoughts. I mean old, evil Scott’ Warren points out, but Bobby declares that she just fainted. ‘No, she was clearly hearing something we couldn’t hear’ Warren protests. ‘Stop! Just stop! And stop thinking!’ Jean calls out as she struggles with all the thoughts that are buzzing in her head - the thoughts of other people. ‘Please make it stop’ she whispers as she hunches over. Eventually, she manages to clear the thoughts from her mind.
‘Jean?’ Hank calls out, and Jean replies that she is okay, sarcastically adding that it is a great day to find out she is an untrained psychic. Bobby asks if they can go home now, and Warren agrees, suggesting they go home and forget this ever happened. ‘Forget this happened?’ Scott asks as he gets up and turns to his friends, announcing that he will never forget this happened, and that he doesn’t want to forget this happened. ‘Well I do. I don’t see any good coming from this’ Warren points out, while Scott asks Jean if she is okay. Jean just frowns at him, and Scott stares back, while Hank declares that he is not leaving this place until he is sure that he will live, so he wants to go back to the mansion. ‘NOW’ he tells everyone. ‘We’re not going to go after Magneto and evil Scott?’ Bobby asks. ‘Get in the plane, Bobby’ Scott scolds his young teammate, while Warren remarks once again that they shouldn’t be here.
At the same time, the present Cyclops sits on the side of a hill and looks out over his surroundings. ‘Not now, Emma’ he calls out when he realizes Emma is approaching him. ‘I just want you to know I didn’t do this’ Emma replies. Scott tells her that he knows, and Emma asks him if he knows who did, but Scott replies that he doesn’t. Emma points out that Scott knows the difference between real and not real, and asks if it was real. ‘Yes’ Scott confirms. ‘She was just standing right there’ Emma tells him. ‘Yes’ Scott replies. ‘Her and the young you’ Emma remarks. ‘Yes’ Scott says once again, before Emma asks him what they want. Scott tells Emma to go away, but Emma replies that she is serious and adds that if they know what the original X-Men want, then they know who did this.
‘They wanted to see me for themselves what I have become’ Scott tells Emma, so replies ‘So. If that’s the motive then all we have to ask is who - who has the wherewithal and technology?’ to which Scott announces ‘Hank McCoy’, and Emma tells him that is who she was thinking also. ‘Why? ‘Scott asks. ‘Because you killed Charles Xavier. And he can’t kill you back so he’s going to punish you’ Emma declares, and Scott grimaces.
At the Jean Grey School, Ororo “Storm” Munroe and Wolverine a.k.a. Logan are on the school grounds as Storm reports that the Blackbird transponder isn’t signalling, so they can’t find the original X-Men. ‘It’s Hank McCoy. Pretty sure he can figure a way to throw the transponder out the window’ Logan points out, before Storm tells Logan that she is going to look for them. ‘No. you wait. Wit till we find a lead’ Logan orders. ‘Every second they are out there -’ Storm begins, while a glow approaches in the night-time sky. ‘You’re yelling at me like I did this -’ Wolverine interrupts. ‘I’m yelling at you because -’ Storm begins to reply, when the Blackbird lands, and the original X-Men emerge from it. ‘Hey! Who’s in charge around here?’ Hank calls out. ‘Me’ Wolverine and Storm reply in unison.
The original X-Men stride past them, with Hank announcing ‘With all due respect I will be attending to my medical situations’, adding that he has some theories as to what is happening. ‘Please do me the courtesy of not getting in my way’ Hank tells them. ‘Uh -’ Storm begins, flabbergasted, while Wolverine remarks that he thinks he found them.
‘Hi. Guys, I’m going to need to see all of my latest medical files. I want to see all the information about the secondary mutation that turns me furry and blue’ Hank calls out as he and his teammates enter the lab where Kitty and the present Bobby are monitoring the present Hank. ‘GAAGGHH!’ Bobby exclaims, so Kitty screams, too, before telling Bobby that he has to stop screaming every time they walk into the room.
Kitty tells the past Beast that she doesn’t know his password, to which he quickly replies ‘Ednanorton’. ‘Ednanorton?’ Kitty asks, and Hank explains that it is his parents’ names.‘I’m looking at myself again’ Iceman exclaims as he stares at his past self. Suddenly, the present Beast opens his eyes and looks up at his past self. ‘There I am’ he utters, while the past Hank informs everyone that he is awake. ‘You are…a…good looking…’ Hank begins, when suddenly, the monitor starts beeping furiously. ‘What’s happening?’ Jean asks, before the past Hank announces that he is going into cardiac arrest. ‘HANK!’ Kitty screams, while the monitor beeps even more furiously, and Hank reels in pain….

Henry “Hank” McCoy a.k.a. the Beast lumbers down a grand corridor. He is blue. And furry. But appears in his former ape-like form. He smiles as the sun shines through a window, and a voice calls out ‘What am I wearing?’ Hank sees Jean “Marvel Girl” Grey standing before him and he smiles again. ‘Jeannie’ he calls out. Standing in a green mini-dress with yellow gloves, go-go boots and mask, Jean looks less than impressed and tells Hank that she has had enough to deal with, and now she is wearing this. ‘That is my favorite Jean Grey costume’ Hank replies. ‘Really?’ Jean asks. ‘Marvel Girl’ Hank tells her. ‘Uh-huh’ Jean mutters, before Hank asks if they are in his head right now, or in hers. Jean points out that this is her first time trying something like this psychic telepathic whatever”, but that she thinks they are in his.
Hank looks thoughtful as he remarks ‘Wait, that means you’re telepathic now? I thought - no, I remember you not being telepathic at the moment that I came and brought you here to the present. You should not uncover your telepathy for another year’. Jean suggests that Hank bringing her here shocked her into being prematurely telepathic. ‘Maybe. Fascinating’ Hank replies, to which Jean asks ‘Isn’t that exactly why you don’t screw around with time and space? Because you don’t want things to change like -’, but Hank interrupts Jean and tells her that he can’t get over how good it is to see her, and then apologizes for all of this, announcing that he is sorry. ‘No you’re not. You did this on purpose’ Jean declares.
The Beast tells Jean that he is sorry she has to grow up faster than she was planning, but assures her she will go back and Xavier will put it all right. Jean states that it is very weird, being in someone’s head, so Hank tells her that she will get used to it. ‘We’ve done this before?’ Jean inquires. ‘Being in each other’s heads? All the time!’ Hank exclaims.Another voice can be heard - ‘Sorry to interrupt…’ and Hank turns around, where he sees his younger counterpart, Jean’s teammate, from the past. ‘Oh, the young me’ Hank remarks. ‘The blue me’ the younger Hank calls out, before explaining that he has had Jean - ‘Connecting us psychically while you attend to my physical form’ the older Beast concludes. ‘Exactly. So we can -’ the young Hank begins, while the older Hank once again finishes his sentence: ‘Tag team a scientific solution’.
The older Hank announces that he appreciates that, but that it is now why he brought him here. ‘I know’ the younger Hank replies, and adds that so his older self knows, moments ago they had a mild cardiac arrest. ‘And you want to know exactly what is wrong with us’ the older Hank remarks. ‘This is weird’ Jean mutters as she looks between both Hanks. ‘I know what is wrong with us, Doctor. According to your records, you genetically tampered with our own mutation years ago and now it has come back to bite you in the blue -’ the young Hank begins, while the older Hank concludes that his self-inflicted mutation is killing him, and states that he knows. ‘Don’t be judgmental - for years we were fine’ he adds. ‘This is so weird’ Jean mutters, when suddenly, young Hank throws his hands against older Hank and exclaims ‘What are we going to do about it? Help me. Help me help you!’ But the older Hank replies that there is nothing he can do.
‘I’m going to die’ Hank’s thoughts call out, as in the real world, his past self, and the past Jean Grey stand over his body in a med-lab at the Jean Grey School. Also in the room are members of the present X-Men - Ororo “Storm” Munroe, Wolverine a.k.a. Logan, Kitty Pryde, and Bobby “Iceman” Drake. Bobby’s past counterpart is also present, as are the past versions of Scott “Cyclops” Summers and Warren Worthington III a.k.a. Angel. ‘The hell you are!’ the past Hank calls out, while Wolverine asks ‘Who is he talking to?’ Kitty suggests to Wolverine that he let the man work, to which Wolverine asks ‘Man? He’s twelve’.
Back inside the Beast’s head, both Hanks and Jean stare at countless equations which pass before them. Oh my stars and garters’ the past Hank remarks, while the older Hank states ‘You know better than anyone that I don’t want to die. And I didn’t bring you, my younger self here to try to save me…I have been working on a solution to my problem with every waking moment’. He starts to say ‘It all started when -’, but his past self cuts him off, telling him to stop talking. Jean asks him if he sees something, and pointing at an equation, the past Hank exclaims ‘What is that? That’s -’, while the older Hank adds ‘That’s -’, before the past Hank states ‘Not correct’, and the present Hank remarks ‘Oh my stars and garters. You’re good’.
In the lab, the younger Hank orders everyone out, except for Jean. ‘I’ll stay’ Kitty announces, but Hank tells her that she won’t. So everyone turns and leaves the lab, although Storm, and the past Angel and Cyclops look back, concerned.
Meanwhile, at the University of Texas, ‘Benjamin…’ a short woman with red hair calls out as she walks down a dorm corridor towards her friend. ‘Just so you know, yeah, they kicked me out of school’ Benjamin calls back, while a student nearby films him on their mobile phone. ‘Oh my God’ the woman remarks, while Benjamin throws a bag onto his shoulder and states that he didn’t do anything. ‘So, I’m a mutant. Maybe, I’m going to sue them’ he announces, while adding ‘And you people, one minute you’re protesting for mutant freedom, but when an actual mutant shows up on campus -’ he begins, but his friend tells him that isn’t fair. ‘Really? It’s not fair that you like your mutant rights in theory more than in actuality?’ Benjamin replies, before turning and around and storming off, ‘Congratulations’ he mutters.
Shortly, striding across the campus grounds, skateboard under his arm, Benjamin passes a tree, where Scott Summers, wearing civilian clothing and a baseball cap is leaning. ‘Sorry you’re having a bad day’ Scott calls out. ‘You! C-Cyclops!’ Benjamin exclaims. Scott tells Benjamin that he can’t help but feel partly responsible. ‘Partly responsible? I give you permission to allow yourself to feel fully responsible!’ Benjamin replies. ‘You show up - you bring - what was that? Your whole mutant super hero roadshow with you’. Cyclops tells Benjamin that he is sorry about that, and adds that it was unfortunate. ‘What was that?’ Benjamin asks. Scott tells him that he isn’t sure yet, but that it had nothing to do with Benjamin. Benjamin looks at Cyclops and tells him that he would like him to leave him alone.
‘I understand. I came back here to try to - where are you going?’ Cyclops calls out as Benjamin turns and walks away. ‘Away from crazy. Bye’ Benjamin calls back, before stopping, then turning around and marching back over to Cyclops. ‘Why me?’ he asks. Cyclops explains that it isn’t a “why me” situation, as mutants are popping up all over the world. ‘You are one of the lucky ones’ he tells Benjamin. ‘Lucky? That’s a word?’ Benjamin mutters, revealing that he cannot get his parents on the phone and that he just got kicked out of school. ‘And I thought mutants were almost extinct’ he adds. ‘We were. Things have taken a turn for the better’ Cyclops explains. ‘And what do you call this power of mine?’ Benjamin enquires.
Cyclops takes off his cap and states that the power is interesting, as he has never seen this specific type of power before. ‘You’re not - well you are shape-shifting’ Scott points out as Benjamin takes on Scott’s features. ‘Shape-shifting’ Benjamin repeats, while Scott points out that it doesn’t seem that Benjamin is completely becoming another person. Scott explains that it is more like Benjamin is becoming something, like he is becoming one with his environment. ‘You’re physically adapting to your surroundings’ he tells him. Benjamin declares that he is scared out of his mind. ‘I get that, Benjamin. I’ve been where you are. In a way I’m there right now’ Scott tells Benjamin, adding that they don’t know the full extent of his power, or what else he is capable of.
Scott continues, telling Benjamin that he needs guidance and training, which he is offering to him. ‘I have the internet. I know who you are, Scott summers. I know what you’ve done’ Benjamin frowns. ‘Then you know I’m serious. I will help you’ Scott replies. Benjamin asks him why, so Scott offers to make a deal with him. ‘Come with me - if you don’t like it or me…you just walk away’ Scott proposes. Benjamin glances away: ‘Your whole life your mother tells you not to get in a car with strangers…’ he mutters. ‘Car? Come on…we’re the X-Men’ Scott replies, before speaking into his communicator, he tells Illyana Rasputin a.k.a. Magik that two are ready for pick up and delivery. ‘What are we - whoa’ Benjamin exclaims as blue energy appears around he and Cyclops, who tells Benjamin to breathe. ‘This feels a little odd’ he remarks.
‘But it’s over like that. Welcome, Benjamin Deeds…welcome to the new school. Welcome to the new Charles Xavier School for the Gifted’ Cyclops declares as he and Benjamin re-materialize in an old Weapon X compound, where Magneto and Magik are putting the finishing touches on their new home.
Back at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning:‘I said: please leave so I can do my work!’ the young Hank tells to Kitty. ‘Yeah, boy, too bad you’re not the boss of me’ Kitty replies. Hank asks her what her name is, and Kitty introduces herself, explaining that she is the headmistress here. ‘And a good friend of yours. So talk nice’ she adds. ‘Dr Henry McCoy’ Hank remarks as he leaps onto some pipes above, a cord in his mouth, while Kitty replies that she knows. ‘Hand me that tube and that beaker’ Hank tells her, while Kitty asks him if he figured something out. ‘I think we both have’ Hank replies. ‘We?’ Kitty asks. ‘Me and myself’ Hank explains. Kitty suggests to Hank that he don’t do anything crazy. ‘You tend to, sometimes, do crazy things’ she points out. ‘I’m not sure exactly what your relationship to the older Hank McCoy is…but I can almost promise you that I have more invested in all of this than you’ Hank declares, frowning at Kitty, who hugs herself and looks concerned.
Back in the older Hank’s mind, he continues to converse with Jean, who asks ‘What happens now?’ ‘Let’s see what that handsome young man has in store for us’ Hank replies, before asking Jean if she saw Scott Summers. ‘You saw what he became?’ he enquires. The corridor goes dark, as Marvel Girl replies ‘Yes’. ‘And you saw inside his mind?’ Hank asks her. ‘Yes’ Jean replies once again. Hank tells her that he didn’t mean for that to happen, and points out that now she knows he was telling the truth. ‘Yes’ Jean replies, before telling Hank that he really shouldn’t have brought them here. ‘Call me pragmatic or pessimistic but I think when you die you cease to be’ the Beast remarks.
While his younger self continues to busy himself in the lab, with Kitty watching over him, Hank tells Jean that he doesn’t believe in Heaven, and nor does he believe in Hell. ‘I believe in the biological functions of higher organisms. If this were my last day on Earth I could not let things go the way they are going’ he explains. As the young Scott, Warren and Bobby stand outside on the school grounds, Hank tells Jean that if the young Scott, the one they love, sees what he will become, he might somehow, some way, try not to become that thing. While the current Scott hangs his head inside the new Charles Xavier School for the Gifted, Hank tells Jean that at the very least, the present Scott will see his younger self, and Jean, and see how far he has fallen. ‘And let that shame go with him to his grave’.
‘Either way, I must say, I am fine with it as long as something different happens’ Hank tells Jean, who glances away, then glances back, asking ‘How did I die?’ ‘Which time?’ Hank replies. Shocked, Jean asks ‘Oh man…what does that mean?’, Hank tells her that they have lived a colorful and varied life. ‘Show me’ Jean asks. ‘I thought you thought this wasn’t a good idea’ Hank reminds her. ‘I have to see. You know I have to’ Jean replies. Hank tells her that he knows, and adds that he never closes his mind to Jean. ‘You can look at whatever you want’ he assures her. Jean looks away, scared, and points out that she doesn’t know how to do any of this yet. ‘Clear your mind’ Hank tells her as he places his hands on her shoulders. Jean’s eyes close - then re-open, wide with anticipation and fear.
Images flood Jean Grey’s mind. Battling X-Men enemies. The Phoenix, rising from the ashes. Dark Phoenix. Phoenix’s sacrifice. Fighting alongside Cyclops as a member of the original X-Factor. Being at the side of her dying clone, Madelyne Pryor. Her wedding day. Her adventure in the future with Scott as Redd and Slymm. Fighting alongside her “son” Cable as members of the X-Men. The “death” of Cyclops as he was merged with Apocalypse. Going head to head against Charles Xavier, transformed into Onslaught. Kissing Wolverine. As a teacher at the Xavier School. And, murdered by Xorn.
Jean collapses inside Hank’s mind, but in the med-lab, she screams ‘NO!’ and a burst of telekinetic energy sends various medical instruments flying around the room, before she collapses here, too. ‘Oh my God, what happened?’ Kitty calls out as she rushes over to Jean, who utters ‘No! Nononono… He - he showed me everything. Everything!’ Jean exclaims. Young Hank suggests Kitty take his teammate out for some fresh air. ‘It was - it was -’ Jean begins, while Kitty walks her out of the med-lab. ‘I died. I - I felt it’ Jean explains, while young Hank looks at his present self and asks ‘What are you up to?’, before injecting something into a contraption that Hank is hooked up to. ‘Let’s hope one of us is as smart as the other one thinks he is’ young Hank mutters, when suddenly, older Hank’s hand moves.
Outside, the past Cyclops, Angel and Iceman find themselves approached by Wolverine, Storm and Iceman, while a group of students gather nearby. ‘You can all stop looking at me like that. I haven’t done what you are accusing me of doing. And I won’t’ the young Cyclops declares. ‘It will never happen’ he adds. ‘Except ya did. And ya will’ Wolverine calls out. Young Cyclops promises to make this right. ‘Your promises. Slim, I tell ya, I think about every time I was this close to ya’ Wolverine replies. ‘Logan…’ Storm cautions, while Wolverine moves closer to the younger Cyclops and holds a fist out, ‘Every time I could’a just popped a claw in the back of your scrawny neck and stopped you cold’ Wolverine adds. ‘Logan, stop!’ Storm orders.
Wolverine turns to the others and tells them that it is a simple question. ‘Who do we want? Do we want Scott Summers or Charles Xavier? If I get how this works - I kill him now and Charles Xavier will be standing right over there’ Wolverine calls out. ‘Standing?’ the young Cyclops asks, confused. ‘Show of hands!’ Wolverine tells everyone, but the young Cyclops asks him to cut it out. ‘Trial of your peers. Fair’s fair’ Wolverine replies. ‘I can’t believe you’re an X-Man’ the past Cyclops mutters. ‘Yeah, you’ve said that before’ Wolverine snarls, before asking the others for a show of hands, when suddenly, they see Jean and Kitty standing nearby, and a voice calls out ‘That’s quite enough, all of you…Logan, I didn’t bring them here so you can work out your issues’ the present Beast announces.
‘Oh my God, Hank! Look at you! Are - are you okay?’ Kitty calls out as she sees Hank, who is helped along by his past self. The present Beast’s form has changed yet again, somewhat ape-like. Storm and Kitty hug the Beast, who tells his friends that he is better than ever. ‘Thanks to, well, me, my mutation has stabilized’ Hank explains. ‘You’re welcome!’ the past Hank calls out, suggesting to his present self that he take it easy. The present Hank adds that he has never felt better, while the past Hank points out that he should be resting. ‘Be quiet’ the present Hank scolds his past self, while the present Iceman tells his friend that he scared the hell out of them. ‘You know, you’re still blue, right?’ the past Iceman calls out.
The present Hank turns to the past Cyclops and tells him to consider him the ghost of his Christmas future. ‘You’re going to go back now, and you’re going to live, all of you, are going to try and live a life more worthy’ he announces, when suddenly a voice states no. It’s Marvel Girl, who declares that they are not going back. ‘What?’ Storm asks. Everyone listens as Jean reports that she has seen what is going to become of their lives. ‘I’ve seen everything that gets us to this point. I’m not having it. No’ she states, adding that if they go back and Charles Xavier will read their minds and know what Hank did here, then wipe all of this from them.
Jean continues, pointing out that they will never know that no matter what they do in the course of their lives as X-Men, they end up in torture and disaster. ‘Torture?’ the past Angel asks. ‘And disaster. All of us’ Jean declares. Jean adds that everything they are going to go back and fight for ends in her death, Charles Xavier dying and Scott becoming everything he says he despises. ‘And if that’s the way it’s going to be, if that’s our destiny, then we have to make sure it was worth it’ Jean announces, explaining that they have to right things here. ‘We have to do what we set out to do’. Jean tells her teammates that they will put things back the way they’re supposed to be and then go back. ‘Xavier can mind-wipe the hell out of us. Hell, I’ll do it myself’ she snaps, frowning.
‘You’re going back’ Wolverine tells Jean, but she turns to him and replies that she is not. ‘I know this is hard for you, James. I know you and I -’ Jean begins, but Wolverine frowns and tells her to stop talking. She ignores him and states that she is staying here and putting things right. ‘You would do the same’ she adds. Young Hank tells Jean that it isn’t entirely up to her, to which Jean agrees and suggests they put it to vote. ‘We’re voting to, what? Live here? With him?’ young Iceman asks, referring to his present counterpart. ‘Yeah. Uh, do we all get to vote?’ the present Iceman asks. ‘And do we count as two votes or one?’ the past Iceman enquires. The young Cyclops tells his teammates that the five of them will vote and either the five of them will go, or the five of them will stay.
Marvel Girl raises her hand and declares that they should stay. Frowning, the young Cyclops also raises his and announces ‘Stay’. The past Angel grimaces as he suggests that they should go home. ‘You started it’ the past Hank points out, turning to his present counterpart as he raises his hand. Realizing that he is outnumbered, Angel looks frustrated, while the younger Iceman mutters ’Oh, what the hell?’ and raises his hand. ‘You’ve got to be kidding me’ the present Iceman mutters. ‘Scared that I’m going to make you look like a lameass?’ the younger Iceman asks. ‘Please, someone stop this’ Iceman calls out.
Marvel Girl points out that it is settled, and tells Warren she is sorry, and that it won’t be forever. But the present Beast announces that it isn’t settled. ‘You’re just kids’ he points out, adding that they can’t go bobbing around in the future doing whatever they want. ‘Why? You do’ Jean snarls. Suddenly Kitty calls out, ‘I’ll be in charge of them…I’ll keep an eye on them. This is good’, adding that she was looking for some way to honor Xavier, more. The younger X-Men stand behind Kitty and look at her curiously, as Kitty adds that she can’t think of anything more than this. Marvel Girl thanks her, while the past Hank asks ‘Professor Kitty? Professor K?’ Kitty tells him to shut up.
Young Bobby puts a hand on Warren’s shoulder and tells his friend that it will be okay, but Warren points out that no one is mentioning him. ‘No one is talking about what has happened to me, Bobby. Where am I?’ Warren asks. Storm turns to the Beast and asks him what he has done. ‘You wanted to keep Xavier’s dream alive…ta-da!’ the Beast replies. The young Cyclops goes over to Jean and asks her if they can talk for a second, but Jean looks at him, then turns away, and as she walks from him, warns him to leave her the hell alone.

Untitled
The Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, where a young Jean Grey from a time long ago lies in bed, sleeping. Suddenlya voice calls out her name and she wakes up. ‘Thank God I found you! We’ve come to take you out of here!’ the present day Cyclops announces as he stands with Magneto. ‘Scott?’ Jean asks, confused. Cyclops tells Jean that they are going to kill her, and she goes wide-eyed, when suddenly, there is an explosion and a naked Wolverine lunges towards Jean. Claws outstretched, he shoves them into her. Jean falls backwards, clutching her blood-drenched neck, while a fiery Phoenix glows in her eyes.
Jean Grey suddenly wakes up, screaming and clutching her neck. Objects in the room are floating around her thanks to her telekinetic power. ‘Oh God…’ she utters as she lets everything fall to the floor. Suddenly, Kitty Pryde, enters the room, asking her if she is okay. ‘I just…woke up’ Jean replies. Looking around at the mess, Kitty remarks that she sees Jean did some redecorating. Jean apologizes, but Kitty tells her that it is okay. ‘Not, it’s not, I’m -’ Jean begins, while Kitty adds ‘It’s not like I clean’ and tells Jean that if she hadn’t heard it, she probably wouldn’t have noticed. ‘You were nice enough to lend me your room. I’m sorry’ Jean replies.
Kitty sits down on the edge of the bed and points out that Jean has been asleep for a while. ‘Guess I needed it’ Jean replies, before asking ‘What - I’m sorry - what is your name again?’ Kitty introduces herself, explaining that she was headmistress of the school, but as long as Jean and the original X-Men are here, she is going to stay and work with them. A tear falls from Jean’s eye as she tells Kitty that she has never had a dream like that before. Kitty points out that Jean is having a lot of firsts this week - first time her telepathic powers came into bloom, and she is living in a different time than she is supposed to be. ‘And I found out my entire family…died. Terribly. I died…even more terribly. Charles Xavier…’ her voice trails off, and she falls against Kitty, who embraces her. Jean asks where the others are, and Kitty tells her not to worry about them right now. Unconvinced herself, Kitty assures Jean that they are fine.
At that moment, in the cafeteria, the young Scott “Cyclops” Summers enters, and immediately, most students turn and stare at him. The Shi’ar warrior Warbird sits at a table with some students - Anole, Glob Herman, Oya, Kid Omega and Genesis. Lockheed flies nearby, while Doop turns a watchful eye from the students to Cyclops. The Stepford Cuckoos sit at a table of their own, while the past and present counterparts of Bobby “Iceman” Drake and Dr Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast are all seated together. Cyclops looks back at the students and remarks: ‘It’s a funny thing - yesterday I was the leader of the X-Men. That was yesterday. At least to me’, before he excuses himself and rushes out.
Scott enters a garage and leans against the wall, rubbing his head, ‘How? How could I be this thing? How could I have done this?’ he asks himself, before noticing a certain motorcycle parked in the garage. A brown jacket has been placed on the motorcycle, and Scott goes over to it. He puts the jacket on, and rides out of the garage and away from the Jean Grey School.
Back in the cafeteria:‘And I read online last night that Reed Richards thinks that - that the Space-Time Continuum is a living thing, you know. Like a person, and if we’re using it as a toy to -’ Iceman remarks, while Wolverine glances sideways, ‘Shut up, Bobby’ he snaps, while his super-hearing picks up the sound of his motorcycle being driven away. ‘SON OF A -!!!’ Wolverine shouts, standing up, he frightens Indra, while the Stepford Cuckoos watch Wolverine as he storms past them and shortly, he is in a jeep, driving away from the Jean Grey School.
Back in Kitty / Jean’s room, Jean is telekinetically tidying up. Kitty tells her that it is breakfast time, that everyone is eating and that she should come down and eat too. Jean replies that she needs a few minutes. ‘Sure’ Kitty replies. ‘It’s just -’ Jean begins, and Kitty tells her that she knows. Kitty turns to Jean and states that looking at her, here, is just crazy. ‘I’m - yeah, I’m sure’ Jean agrees. ‘You are such - such a baby face’ Kitty remarks, adding that she will get over it eventually. ‘I forgot to ask, what is your mutant pow-?’ Jean begins, when suddenly, she screams and clutches her head, collapsing to the floor, thoughts rampage through her mind:
‘That’s not even good -’, ‘What are they doing here?’, ‘Young Scott is so -’, ‘Hair in the shower is so disgu-’, ‘I wonder if Kitty will be looking after the team’, ‘…always whining and crying about how bad she’s had it’, ‘In this day and age…’, ‘Let’s go back to the subject at hand’, ‘Has anyone seen Angel?’, ‘Pyramids of Egypt…’, I have to see for myself. I have to see what I have become’, ‘Taco Bell isn’t even good!’, ‘…alpha female whether she wants to or not’.
Kitty grabs Jean, who is crying, and tells her to look at her. ‘Look right at me. Look at my eyes’ Kitty calls out. ‘Voices’ Jean utters, but Kitty tells her that they are not voices, and explains that she is hearing thoughts. The thoughts continue to plunder Jean’s mind:
‘My arm, it hurts’, ‘Let’s talk again when you decide to get a brain’, ‘She is such a liar’, ‘How can Time and Space be a living thing?’, ‘But who cares about Maggott’, ‘How can you get hair that soft?’, ‘Nightcrawler not. And Jubilee - don’t even get me started on Jubilee’, ‘The person who died’, ‘Ninjas’, ‘Several hundred years of experience’, ‘Emma?’, ‘What time is it?’, ‘Used to go to these weird clubs’, ‘Cyclops was right’.
‘My thoughts, oy!’ Kitty thinks, trying to get Jean to focus on her. ‘You focus. Focus on one thing’ she adds. ‘Focus?’ Jean asks. ‘Focus on me. In your head are 1000 little doors. Doors! You close each door. One by one. You close them’ Kitty explains to Jean, but the thoughts continue to spill into Marvel Girl’s mind.
‘Can you hear me, Miss Frost?’, ‘Thought I’d seen it all’, ‘Where’s Angel?’, ‘Cyclops was right’, ‘Has anyone seen Angel?’, ‘Outer space?’, ‘Emma?’, ‘Only strike when?’, ‘Does anyone give a crap about the Space Time Continuum?’, ‘Several hundred!’, ‘She hates me!’.
‘This is your brain’ Kitty tells Jean. ‘You control everything about yourself. Decide to do it and you will’ she adds. Jean closes her eyes, and the thoughts are blocked off to her. She looks up, and thanks Kitty, who tells her not to worry about it. ‘I just became a telepath yesterday’ Jean adds. ‘Yeah. That’s crazy. You need training’ Kitty remarks, adding that she can help. She asks Jean if she knows yoga. Jean replies that she does, and Kitty explains that yoga will help. ‘That was good - what you did there. That worked’ Jean tells Kitty, asking her who taught that - Xavier? But, Kitty replies ‘You did’. Jean is surprised, and asks if they were friends. Kitty points out that Jean was in the class in front of her. ‘But yes, yeah, I admired you’ she tells her, while thinking to herself ‘Kind of’. ‘Kind of?’ Jean asks, picking up on Kitty’s thoughts. ‘Oh man, sorry’ Kitty thinks. While looking sheepish, she explains that Jean was a little tough on her sometimes.
Kitty stands up and helps Jean up, apologizing for her thoughts betraying her. ‘I shouldn’t be hearing them’ Jean points out. ‘Well, that’s true’ Kitty agrees, before Jean asks where they are going. ‘You have a team to lead’ Kitty remakrs, however Jean reminds Kitty that she isn’t the leader, Scott is. Suddenly, Ororo “Storm” Munroe appears and tells Jean that it was she who convinced the original X-Men to stay in this displaced time. ‘They listen to you. You’re the leader’. Storm’s thoughts introduce herself to the young Jean, who, in another time, was her best friend. ‘Scott is not going to have everyone’s trust here. They are going to need you’ Storm tells Jean.
‘And you’re Storm?’ Jean asks. ‘Yes’ Ororo agrees, before Jean asks if they are friends. ‘Very good friends’ Storm confirms. ‘I thought so’ Jean tells her, before Storm’s thoughts tell Jean that she can look in her head just this once. ‘But after that…’ she begins, when suddenly, Jean asks where Scott is. She concentrates on him, then tells Storm and Kitty that she doesn’t think Scott is here. ‘He left. Wolverine went after him’ Storm reports. ‘Well…%#$@!’ Kitty mutters.
Shortly, a stunned Cyclops arrives in Salem Center. He is shocked at the appearance of two punks who walk past him as he parks the motorcycle. He enters the store and asks the woman behind the counter who is busy on her mobile phone whether she has a map. ‘A map?’ the woman asks, without looking away from her phone. ‘A map of the United States? Or the world?’ Scott inquires. ‘Doesn’t your phone have a map?’ the woman asks, holding up her smart phone. ‘My phone?’ Scott asks, confused. ‘Uh, yeah!’ the woman mutters. Looking around the store, Scott asks why the water is all in bottles. ‘Because it’s bottled water’ the woman replies, rolling her eyes. ‘Why is the water bottled now?’ Scott enquires. ‘As opposed to when?’ the woman asks. ‘Did something happen to the water?’ Scott asks.
The woman looks frustrated now and asks Scott if he is going to buy something, when suddenly, she exclaims ‘You know who you look like? You look just like him. You look like that guy with the - with the - you look just like him!’ as she holds up a magazine with the present day Cyclops on the cover. ‘How much is this? I’ll take it’ Scott declares, looking at the magazine. The woman replies that it is four ninety-nine, and asks ‘Are you guys related or -?’, but Scott shouts ‘Five dollars for a magazine!’, to which the woman adds ‘Plus tax’. Stuffing his hand into one of the jacket pockets, Scott mutters that this place is a nightmare. ‘How do you expect me to -?’ he begins to ask, but pulls out a large wad of cash. ‘What do you care, Tony Stark?’ the woman snaps. Scott looks at the money and wonders ‘Why does he have this much money in his pocket?’
Suddenly, ‘Because it’s none of your damn business’ Wolverine whispers into Scott’s ear as he appears behind him. ‘Get your butt back on my bike and back to the school’ Wolverine orders as he pulls Scott along by his ear. ‘Don’t touch me!’ Scott calls out, but Wolverine points out that he is here less than 24 hours and already annoying him more than his other self. ‘Which is, I must say, quite -’ he begins, but Scott once again tells Wolverine not to touch him. Scott hen pushes Wolverine away. ‘I don’t know who you think you -’ he begins, before realizing that the push hurt him. ‘Ow!’ Scott exclaims. ‘Yeah, unbreakable bones. So why don’t you take it down a notch’ Wolverine suggests, while asking ‘And who do I think I am?’, staring Scott down, Wolverine frowns at Cyclops and adds ‘I’m the guy that Xavier put in charge of the school before you murdered him. That’s who I think I am!’, but Cyclops replies ‘I didn’t do that’. ‘Not yet’ Wolverine points out. But Scott walks towards the motorcycle and points out that it is not fair everyone is blaming him for something he hasn’t done.
‘Fair? Listen, Slim, we made a deal with the people of this town that we keep our mutant crazy down to a minimum. So I can put you in a headlock and spank you or you can just get back on the bike and -’ Wolverine begins, but Scott assures Wolverine that he isn’t looking to fight him, ‘You better not be’ Wolverine snarls, but as Cyclops hangs his head, Wolverine tells him that he knows he is going through stuff. ‘Yeah’ Scott replies. Wolverine suggests that after a good night’s sleep, cooler heads and all that, then the original X-Men can go back where they came from. ‘Maybe’ Scott mutters. Wolverine tells Cyclops that he should have seen all this. ‘You go back. It’ll be like it never happened’ he assures him.
Cyclops gets down on the ground and admits that Wolverine is right, before asking ‘Unbreakable bones?’, to which Wolverine replies ‘Yup’, so Cyclops removes his ruby-quartz glasses and fires a blast of optic energy, close range, at Wolverine, knocking him backwards. Logan lands with a crack, while Scott gets on the motorcycle and speeds away. Wolverine rushes after him, but he is not quick enough. He narrows his eyes and asks ‘Where the hell do you think you’re going?’
Earlier, at the Jean Grey School:‘I have to see for myself. I have to see what I have become’ the young Angel a.k.a. Warren Worthington III decides as he sits atop one of the buildings. He tells himself that no one seems to have the courage to tell him - he sees Cyclops leave on Wolverine’s motorcycle. ‘Sure, leave me here, Scottie. I don’t want to be here in the first place and now you leave me here. You guys stick me here and you don’t even -’ Warren begins, before noticing a jeep follow Cyclops. ‘Huh - okay’ he tells himself.
Suddenly, a face appears in the ground and its mouth opens, ‘What is -?’ Warren asks himself, wondering if he is going nuts or if the ground just burped. ‘What has happened to the school? What has happened to the -?’ he thinks to himself, when a voice calls out ‘Well, this is unexpected’. Young Warren goes wide-eyed, ‘Oh my God…’ he thinks, as he sees his present counterpart gracefully hovering over him. ‘So…what are you, me from the past?’ the present Angel enquires. ‘Yes’ the past Warren confirms. ‘Yes?’ the Angel asks. The young Warren explains that the entire original X-Men team was brought here to the future - or rather, to the present - to help deal with what’s going on with Scott Summers. ‘The original X-Men are here right now?’ Angel asks.
‘Yes’ the young Angel confirms. Pointing down to the ground, the present Angel asks if Jean Grey is here, and the young Warren tells him that she is. When the present Angel asks if the Beast did this, the past Warren tells him that he did. The present Angel looks thoughtful, and pauses, while his past self looks up at him and asks ‘Uh, where did you get those…are those metal?’ But the present Angel ignores the question, and swoops down, picking his past self up in his arms and hugging him, ‘Well all right!’ the present Angel shouts excitedly, before asking his past self if he wants to go flying. ‘You believe me?’ the young Warren asks ‘Do I believe you?’ the present Angel replies. ‘I just told you an insane story…you believe me?’ the young Warren asks again. They take flight, while the young Warren asks his present self why his wings are made of metal. ‘I’m not sure I even know’ the older Angel replies. ‘Yeah, but, uh…’ the past Warren begins, wanting an explanation, however the present Angel just tells him to catch up, as he soars ahead.
Meantime, at an undisclosed Raven Darkholme a.k.a. Mystique sits in a dimly lit room. A bottle of alcohol beside her, when someone enters the room, and standing in the shadows calls out to her. ‘I told you to leave me alone until further notice’ Mystique snaps. Her visitor ignores her and places a tablet on the table, ‘You’re going to want to see this’ Mystique’s visitor tells her. ‘Stop talking’ Raven replies, but her visitor tells her to look. Raven picks up the tablet and asks ‘What am I looking at?’, to which the mysterious visitor replies ‘Cyclops blasting Wolverine across Salem Center’. ‘And…’ Mystique begins, before her visitor tells her to keep watching. ‘Am I nuts or does he look 12?’ Mystique’s visitor asks when there is a close up shot of Cyclops. ‘When was this?’ Mystique asks. Her visitor informs her that it was today, four hours ago. Mystique frowns and tells her visitor to get everybody together, as she wants to see this for herself.

Untitled
Manhattan, New York, where a young Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops not of this time wears a baseball cap low over his face, and a jacket over his costume as he gazes around at the skyscrapers. Most people who walk past him are busy, caught up in their own worlds, but one woman looks at him strangely. He sees her and lowers his cap further, before entering a bank. He sees some magazines on a table. “People” magazine’s cover suggests “The Avengers Mutant Cover Up”, while “Time” magazine is focusing on new mutants, and once again the “Rolling Stone” magazine depicts the present Cyclops. Scott tilts his head when he sees a woman behind a desk with a small “X” pin on her cardigan. He notices some people standing nearby looking at him, and he turns to the security camera which is pointed to him.
Scott makes his way over to the woman behind the desk, who casually calls out ‘Can I help you?’, while gazing at her computer. ‘I need help with one of the safety deposit boxes’ Scott replies. ‘Sure. Did you brings your keys?’ the woman asks. Scott replies that he didn’t, so the young woman asks if he has two forms of identification. ‘Well, sort of’ Scott replies, and the woman smiles at him as she looks up, ‘I’m sure we can -’ she begins, before going wide-eyed as she realizes who is standing before her. Scott removes his baseball cap and asks the young woman if she will help him. ‘Oh. My. God. You - you look a lot older on TV’ the woman remarks, covering her mouth. Scott replies that he is older on TV. ‘Is it really you?’ the woman asks. ‘Will you help me?’ Scott inquires. Shocked, the young woman asks him to follow her.
Making their way to the safety deposit box area, the young woman asks Scott if he has a deposit box here, to which he replies that he used to, but not sure if he still does. ‘Not sure?’ the woman asks, confused. ‘It’s a long story’ Scott tells her, cap back on. ‘O- okay’ the woman replies. Scott asks her if she is a mutant. She replies ‘Oh my God, I wish’. ‘You wish?’ Scott asks. Unlocking the door, the woman asks Scott if he knows what she did yesterday. ‘No’ he tells her. ‘Same thing I did the day before. And the day before that’ the young woman tells him. ‘And the day before that. I would kill to be…not that person. Ugh. To be a mutant -’ she explains as she unlocks the safety deposit box.
‘Everyone has something that makes them special’ Scott tells her. The young woman hands him the box and tells him that she thought he was like forty years old. She adds that the book tells him this is his box and that it has been here for years. Scott smiles and thanks her, so the young woman leaves him in a room, where he starts to open the box. He closes his eyes and removes his visor, putting on some ruby quartz shades that were in the box. ‘That’s better’ he tells himself. Rifling through the box ‘Thank you, Scott Summers’ he remarks as he sees wads of cash in the box. He frowns when he sees an invitation, however.
Outside in the main area of the bank, one of the young woman’s colleagues asks her: ‘What’s going on with you all of a sudden’. ‘You have no idea who is in there right now…’ the young woman replies. ‘Who is in where?’ her colleague asks her. ‘The safe deposit box room’ she explains. ‘Who?’ the other woman asks.
Back in the other room, the young Scott pulls the invitation from the box and looks at is anxiously.
‘Cyclops is in the bank?’ the other woman asks. ‘Yes!’ the young woman tells her. ‘Cyclops from the crazy X-Men?’ the other woman inquires, while the first woman exclaims ‘I am going to explode. Literally explode’. The older woman points out that he is wanted by the police. ‘No. Come on. That’s just the - the - the conspiracy against mutant -’ the young woman begins, but the older woman calls out to a guard, and gets his attention.
Inside the safety deposit box room, Scott has laid some things out on the table - polaroids, a lock of red hair, a necklace, some rings, money and the invitation. He shoves some of it into his jacket pocket, and leaves the room, where he finds Wolverine out in the main area of the bank. ‘Are you done wasting my day?’ Wolverine snarls, hands on hips and looking annoyed. He starts to drag Scott out of the bank, telling him not to start a fight in here, as these are innocent people. ‘Don’t touch me!’ Scott shouts. ‘Outside’ Wolverine tells him, before approaching some bank guards, and telling them to put the guns down. ‘On the ground!’ one of the guards shouts.
‘Yes, put the guns on the ground’ Wolverine tells them. ‘No, I - I mean you get on the ground’ the guard calls out. ‘I can’t believe you’re making me do this. Do you see this? Do you know what it means?’ Wolverine asks as he holds up his Avengers ID card. ‘This means that whatever security guard school you graduated from doesn’t mean a damn because Captain America told me that this means you do what I say. So what’s it gonna be?’ Wolverine asks, continuing to drag young Cyclops to the door, while one of the guards announces that they called the police. ‘You don’t pull a gun on someone just because they’re different than you’ Wolverine calls out, adding that they can’t pull a gun on someone for walking into a bank. ‘He didn’t rob the bank’ Wolverine adds, before turning to young Cyclops and asking him if he robbed the bank. Horrified, Scott replies ‘No’.
Wolverine tells the guards that he didn’t rob the bank, and informs them that the deal is they are leaving, and that if they shoot him, it won’t hurt him and he will cut off their hands. ‘I’ll go back to wherever I came from and you won’t have hands’ he points out. The guards look worried, and lower their weapons, watching alongside the bank customers and staff as Wolverine drags young Cyclops from the bank. Scott turns back to the young woman who was kind to him earlier. She stares back, eyes-wide, hands over her mouth. Out on the street now, Scott pulls away from Wolverine ‘I’m not going with you!’ he exclaims. ‘You’re welcome’ Wolverine mutters. ‘Let me do what I want!’ Scott declares. Wolverine asks him if he is hungry, and Scott tells him to leave him alone.
Wolverine then drags Scott into an alleyway, ‘Scott, darling, not everything is what it seems to be’ he tells him. ‘What does that mean? Scott asks, confused, and once again tells Wolverine to let go of him. Wolverine holds his hands up and tells Scott that he needed someone he would believe, and someone the guards would be afraid of. ‘He was my only choice, really…’ Wolverine begins, and suddenly, Scott’s jaw drops, as Wolverine is no longer standing in front of him, but a blue-skinned woman with red hair wearing a white dress. She introduces herself as Raven, and explains she is a mutant shape-shifter and a friend of Charles Xavier. She is Mystique, and tells the young Cyclops that she saw him online and had to see what this was for herself.
Backed up against the alleyway wall, Scott is scared and asks ‘What - what is this?’, so Mystique tells him to focus. ‘How did you -?’ Scott begins, to which Mystique reminds him that she just said she was a shape-shifter. Scott asks her what she has shape-shifted into now, and Mystique tells him that this is who she is, her mutant self. ‘Sorry if it offends you’ she adds. Rubbing the back of his head, confused, Scott replies that “offending” isn’t the word he would use. Mystique peers around the alleyway corner, and tells young Scott that a lot has happened since he first joined the X-Men, but that sadly the days of her walking around as her beautiful blue self without causing a riot are still a little far away. ‘I think we should talk’ Mystique adds, and seeing police cars pull up in front of the bank, Mystique takes Scott by his hand and he runs along after her. ‘Come on…’ she tells him, while Scott asks her what was her name again?
Soon, Mystique has shifted into a regular looking girl around the same age as Scott, and they sit together in a park. ‘Hank McCoy brought you to the here and now? That man is a conundrum’ Mystique remarks. ‘This is punishment’ Scott mutters, adding that Hank says he brought them here to stop the coming mutant civil war - the genocide, as he put it. ‘He’s a liar. He brought us here to punish me’ Scott declares, explaining that Hank is mad about Xavier. Mystique points out that it might be both things, but Scott tells her that Hank is a son of a bitch for bringing him here. ‘Maybe. But he is right’ Mystique replies, adding that things have never been more chaotic for mutantkind. ‘And you, the other you, is a big reason why’ she explains. Scott rubs his head and tells Mystique that he has to be doing all of this for a reason, that he has to truly believe that this is for the best interest of mutantkind.
‘It’s nice talking to the young you. Uncompromising. Idealistic. The other you? Not so much. Not anymore’ Mystique remarks, putting a hand on Scott’s shoulder. ‘You’re not mad at me for killing Charles Xavier?’ Scott asks. Mystique points out that it wasn’t he who killed Charles, but the older him did - maybe. ‘Maybe?’ Scott asks, confused. Mystique informs him that word is the present Scott was under the influence of a power he couldn’t control. ‘Scott Summers would never kill Charles Xavier, right?’ she asks. Young Scott stands up and turns away from Mystique, ‘I need to talk to him’ he tells her, deciding that is a weird thing to say. ‘It’s a weird thing to hear’ Mystique agrees, before agreeing that Scott should talk to him, before announcing that, in her opinion, Hank is right, and that Scott should probably shut him down before he hurts himself or others.
‘ME?’ Scott shouts. ‘There is - there are dozens of mutants in that school now?’ he asks. ‘Why don’t you - why doesn’t anybody else do it themselves?’ he adds. Mystique tells Scott that no one can do it but him, that no one can walk up to him and shut him down. ‘You’re Scott Summers. Even though older you is off the rails, everyone has such respect for what you’ve done, the sacrifices you’ve made, that nobody wants to - to - no one has the guts to just end you. But maybe you do’. Mystique explains. Young Scott hangs his head, and Mystique supposes Hank is thinking that maybe young Scott hates older Scott enough to stop this before it gets more out of control. Scott looks away, before turning back to Mystique and asking her who she is in all of this.
‘I won’t lie to you, Scott. I have a sordid history. I haven’t always been the best woman I can be’ Mystique admits. She adds that the world hasn’t been very nice to her, and she hasn’t been very nice to the world. Mystique states that she respects the hell out of Charles Xavier - the only man who really gave a damn about her as a person and a mutant. ‘I respect him enough to drop what I was doing and come find you and help you figure this out for yourself’ she claims. Mystique adds that it is the least she could do. ‘I didn’t get to say goodbye to him, you know?’ she explains. Scott looks at Mystique and asks her what she would do if she was him. ‘If I were you…’ Mystique begins as she switches from her teenage disguise into the older Cyclops, wearing an even older costume.
‘I would go back to the school and lead my team. I would look at what that school has become, what a pale, warped reflection of its original intention it is. And I would shut that down and then I’d find older you and shut that down as well’ Mystique announces. She adds that then she would go back to where she came from and start over, knowing what she knows now. ‘That would be amazing’ she tells Scott, who asks her ‘Why don’t you do it?’ Mystique switches back to her default form and replies ‘Because I am not you. I’m not ruthless like you or -’ to which Scott interrupts, ‘I’m not ruthless!’ he shouts. ‘Scott. All you are is ruthless’ Mystique declares. She points at him and tells him that when he sees something he knows is wrong in the world, nothing will stop him from making it right - nothing. ‘That is the definition of ruthless’ Raven remarks, before asking Scott if he has been to the school. He replies that he has, and she asks him if he liked what he saw. ‘I don’t know’ Scott tells her. ‘You don’t know?’ Mystique asks.
Cyclops walks away from the park, but Mystique follows him and overtakes him, reminding him that his school has been taken over by that mongrel Wolverine so that he can teach all those little mutants to become feral killing machines. ‘That was not Charles Xavier’s dream. That was not what you fought for. And lost for’ Mystique declares. She shifts into the form of another teenage girl, with pink stripes in her hair, and Scott calls out to her, asking her where she is going. Mystique tells Scott that Wolverine has tracked him, that he is on his way here. ‘Tracked me?’ Cyclops asks. ‘He’s a tracker’ Mystique reminds Scott, before telling him that he might want to start carrying around a notebook of what everybody does. ‘Keep track of mutants and what they do. For strategy, yeah?’ Mystique suggests, before telling Scott that it was very good to meet him like this. ‘I was always a big fan of the old you’ she claims. Scott watches her walk away and asks her how he can find her, but she tells him that he doesn’t need to find her - he needs to find himself - on numerous levels.
Scott hangs his head, and Wolverine a.k.a. Logan pulls up in a jeep. ‘Did you try to rob a bank?’ Logan asks. ‘Why haven’t you killed me yet?’ Scott asks, ignoring Wolverine’s question. ‘I just met you’ Logan points out. ‘No. I mean me - the adult me. Clearly you could. You’ve made it very clear you want to’ he adds. Wolverine confirms that he could, and that he could kill young Scott right now . ‘And if I do my math right that mean’s you’d cease to exist. Both of you’. Young Scott agrees, and tells Wolverine that he problem is solved. Wolverine replies that maybe he has lived long enough to know that killing is the easiest thing, that saving someone is a lot harder. ‘Maybe it was Charles Xavier who taught me that’ Wolverine reveals, before telling young Scott to get in the car, as he is wasting his day. ‘What if I can’t be saved?’ young Scott asks as he gets into the jeep. ‘Steal my #$@& ever again, I cut something off’ Wolverine warns him. ‘Nice’ young Scott mutters, before they drive off.
Mystique, still disguised, carries on down a street, when a van suddenly pulls up beside her. A man opens the door and leans out, ‘What was that all about? I thought you didn’t care about them’ he remarks. Mystique stands in the doorway and replies ‘The X-Men? Oh, I don’t. It’s a fisk’. Her companion is in the shadows of the van and asks what a fisk is. Shifting back to her default form, Mystique tells him that these X-Men are going to be chasing each other’s tails so fast on this that they won’t be able to see anything else. She explains that they will be free to see their plans all the way to the finish line. ‘The esteemed Dr Henry McCoy dropped a bomb on the mutant race. I just lit the fuse. Screw them all’ Mystique declares.
Meanwhile, at the Jean Grey School, Kitty Pryde is giving her new charges, the original X-Men from the past, a work out. ‘Drop and give me fifty!’ she orders. ‘Fifty what?’ asks Bobby “Iceman” Drake. ‘Let’s get fifty push-ups in to warm up’ Kitty explains. ‘WARM UP?’ Bobby shouts as he stands next to his fellow time-displaced teammates, Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast, who is busy reading something on a tablet, and Jean “Marvel Girl Grey. Hank casually asks where Warren and Scott are. Kitty assures him that they will get theirs. ‘Bobby Drake…you want to live here in the present, you want to train here… I’m training you’ Kitty tells him. ‘I can make ice with body’ the young mutant replies. ‘Your flabby-baby boy body’ Kitty tells him. ‘Now you listen here, lady, I’ve been an X-Man for -’ young Bobby begins. Kitty interrupts: ‘What? About three weeks?’ Bobby points out that he fought Magneto, and Kitty tells him that she saw the footage. ‘You threw snowballs at him’. ‘Oh yeah? You know Unus the Untouchable? I totally touched him!’ Bobby exclaims, before muttering ‘That sounded wrong’.
Kitty turns to the young Marvel Girland asks ‘Is he always like this?’ Jean replies ‘Consistently. Isn’t yours?’ Kitty remarks that it is odd though, that she finds her Iceman charming. ‘That is odd’ Jean agrees. Kitty turns back to Bobby and tells him that if he takes a swing at her, right here, no powers, connect one, she will never bug him with training again. ‘I’m not hitting a girl’ Bobby replies. ‘I’m not a girl, I’m a fierce competitor, you sexist twit!’ Kitty snaps. ‘Don’t call me a -’ young Bobby begins. Kitty declares that she knew Hank here was the smart one, but didn’t realize Bobby was actually the dumb one. ‘Don’t call me -’ Bobby calls out, but Kitty just points to the ground and tells Bobby to drop and give her fifty or show her he can fight like a man, and calls him Ice Boy. ‘Don’t call me - Ice - WAAAGGH!’ Bobby screams as he reaches out to punch Kitty, but she dodges the punch, and forces young Iceman to the ground.
‘And that’s why you need training’ Kitty announces, adding that from now on, she expects complete cooperation, otherwise they are benched. ‘You’re shho mean’ Bobby mutters, while Hank tells everyone to look who’s back. Wolverine approaches the group, with young Scott trailing behind him. ‘And -?’ Kitty calls out to Wolverine, while Scott goes over to his teammates. Wolverine carries on past Kitty, Ororo “Storm” Munroe and the present day Beast. ‘Two hour drive. He said nothing. You’re in charge of this from now on. I’m done’ Wolverine announces. Storm thanks Logan for not killing Scott, and Logan tells her that whatever favor he owed her, they are now even.
Scott gives Jean and envelope. She opens t, and sees that it is the invitation from the safety deposit box. She reads it, and it says:
Because you have shared in all our Adventures, Friendship and Love.Scott SummersAndJean GreyInvite you to share the beginning of our life together as we exchange wedding vows.Friday, June 15At the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Westchester, New York.
A tear starts to form in the corner of one of Jean’s eyes, and she looks up to Scott, who has already walked away from her.

‘Isn’t this the best?’ Angel calls out as he soars through a light blue sky, the sun glimmering overhead. ‘Could you slow down?’ his past self calls out, as the younger Warren struggles to keep up. ‘Remember all the time we spent with our wings tucked in our blazers?’ the present Angel asks, before quietly adding ‘We used to do that, right?’, as his memory is not what it used to be. ‘Could you please just stop and talk to me!’ the young Warren pleads. The present Angel turns and hovers, remarking that sometimes you take for granted all those normal everyday people, stuck down there in traffic, just sitting there. ‘WHY?’ the young Warren shouts when he catches up. ‘Whoa!’ the present Angel calls out. ‘Why won’t you tell me what has happened to you!’ the young Warren asks.
The older Angel grabs his younger counterpart by his arm and tells him to relax and stop. ‘Man, was Warren always like this? You’re like a - a coiled spring’ he remarks. ‘Why did you just refer to me as Warren? You’re Warren too’ the young Warren points out. ‘Well, huh. See, this is going to be hard for you. Warren was - I mean we were born Warren but we are…Angel. I’m Angel. We - we’re Angel’ the older man tries to explain. The young Warren just looks confused, but the older Angel smiles and exclaims: ‘Okay, okay, I know that look. I’m sorry if I’m coming off, I don’t know what, like…I’m just so excited to meet an older model of myself!’
‘Older model?’ the younger man asks. ‘Yeah, I mean, you get that, right? I was like you and now…’ Angel begins. ‘And now what? What are you saying? What happened to us?’ the younger Angel asks. ‘I don’t mean to freak you out’ the older Angel assures his past self. ‘That is all you are doing!’ the young Warren tells him. ‘Think of it this way -’ the older Angel begins, when suddenly, there is a massive BOOM, and they both turn their attention to the sprawling city below, and see an explosion rising from the location of Avengers Tower. ‘The Avengers live in Avengers Mansion!’ the young Angel remarks. ‘Yeah? Well, not anymore. Follow me!’ the older Angel orders as he speeds through the air, down towards Avengers Tower, while the young Angel asks what is doing that.
Down below, a female in green armor is surrounded by others in a similar armor, and she shouts ‘Your orders are clear. Let the world know that we are back! HAIL HYDRA!’ As a fire rages, the Hydra agent declares ‘Let them know that we are here to burn down this disgusting police state! And our first order is to bring this symbol of multinational corruption, this monument of compromise…I want you to bring Avengers Tower down to the ground!’ ‘What the hell?’ the young Angel asks as they move in closer. ‘Logos say Hydra’ the older Angel announces, adding that he loves it when they put their logos on things, as it makes it so much easier to figure out what’s what.
The young Angel asks his older counterpart if he knows these guys. ‘Terrorists. Noisy terrorists’ the older Angel explains. The young Angel suggests that they should call the Avengers, but the older Angel points out that he is sure they already know. ‘We should call the X-Men’ the young Angel adds, but the older Angel tells him that this will be fun. ‘Fun?’ the young Angel asks.‘The streets will run red with blood-’ the female Hydra agent calls out, as the older Warren slams into her. ‘Whoops! Sorry to interrupt your villainous rant! You were really building to something there!’ the older Angel jokes, while the younger Angel flies straight into another Hydra agent, knocking his foe backwards. The other Hydra agents start firing their weapons at both winged mutants.
The young Angel dodges the bullets and other devices of destruction that are shot at him, but looks concerned and frightened as the Hydra agents start to chase him. ‘Avengers? Uh, Avengers? Hello!’ the young Angel calls out. ‘Uh, um, Avengers Assemble? That’s a thing, right?’ he asks, before wondering, as the Hydra agents close in on him, whether the Avengers are actually not home. ‘Did you Hydra goofballs actually attack the Avengers when they aren’t even home? Are you beating up an empty building?’ the young Angel asks, wondering if Hydra are big gigantic cowards, or just completely not lucky or good at this at all. The Hydra agents close in even closer to the young Warren, who flies forward, muttering that this is why he doesn’t do trash talking. ‘Uh, help!’ he adds.
‘I have your back!’ the present Angel promises as he starts darting from Hydra agent to Hydra agent, somehow making them or their hover-packs explode. ‘Hey! The best part of teaming up with ourselves is that there’s no way I’m going to let you die!’ the present Angel shouts out to his past self. He smiles, and adds ‘Because if you die don’t I cease to exist or something? Something like that. I’m not good with math’ he adds. He then chases after a large vessel, ‘Hey, Hydra guys! Aren’t you all just a little bit scared of Tony Stark suing the green off you?’ he asks. ‘The guy is probably all lawyer!’ he jokes, while the past Angel drops down on top of the large vessel, telling his present self that he thinks they have had all this fun he was referring to, and asks if they can call the rest of the X-Men now.
‘Sure! Do you have a phone!’ the present Angel asks as he bursts into the large armor as well. ‘No. No, no, no. This will not happen!’ the female Hydra agent calls out. But, up above, another Hydra armor fires at the young Angel, and strikes his wings. He sees his singed wing, and is not happy. ‘You singed me’ he frowns, before flying down to the armor responsible, and slamming into it, ‘HAAAAA!’ the young mutant shouts. ‘Madame Hydra, we are overwhelmed. I repeat! What is your new order?’ one of the Hydra agents radios to the female agent.
At the same time, several of the large Hydra armors hovering mid-air have surrounded the present Angel. ‘He’s a kid’ one Hydra agent points out. ‘He’s a mutant! Execute him!’ another orders. ‘Um…huh’ the present Angel mutters, and as the several armors fire simultaneously, and there is a massive explosion - lucky for the present Angel, he flies upwards in time to escape harm. Young Angel finds himself surrounded, and the armors all fire at him. ‘Haa!’ he calls out when he dodges them, flying towards one of them, ‘Mayday! Mayday! He’s all over me!’ one of the Hydra agents calls out, but as the others continue to fire at the young Angel, and one of them strikes him in the back.
As the present Angel is shoving one of his opponents into the armor, he looks up and sees his past self plummeting to the ground. ‘No…’ he utters, while Madame Hydra raises a large weapon and smiles: ‘Two of them and a hundred of you! I have to start screening better’. She looks through a magnifier to get her aim on the two Angels, and with her targets locked, she mutters ‘Two angels. So much for getting into Heaven’. But before she can fire the weapon, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Spider-Woman, the Black Widow and the Hulk arrive. ‘Tis my home, wench. This was unwise!’ Thor frowns as he raises his weapon overhead, while his teammates
Angel flies up to his past self, ‘Gotcha!’ he calls out as he grabs the young mutant, preventing him from slamming into the ground. Lightning crackles around Thor, as he sends bolts of it shattering through the surrounding area, which strike down Hydra agents. ‘You scared me there’ the present Angel tells his past self as he sets down on the ground. The younger Angel assures him that he is okay, but the present Angel points out that he is bleeding. ‘Well, I’m not dead’ the young Angel remarks. The present Angel tells the younger Angel to hold still, as he can heal him. ‘You can?’ the young Angel asks, confused. ‘Since when can you heal people? I can’t heal people’ he remarks.
The Avengers gather around both Angels, as Thor calls out’ Ho! Good mutant Angel! You protected our home in our absence. A great debt we hold in your name and your -’ he begins. ‘You know there’s two of you, right?’ Hawkeye remarks. ‘Why are there two of you?’ Captain America enquires, concerned, while Hulk looks on, confused.
Shortly, both Angels descend over the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, alongside the Avengers Quinjet. ‘Uh-oh’ Kitty Pryde remarks as she looks up. ‘Yup’ Wolverine a.k.a. Logan agrees. With them are Ororo “Storm” Munroe and Bobby “Iceman” Drake, but as Captain America steps off the Quinjet, he calls out to his fellow Avenger, Dr Henry McCoy a.k.a. the Beast who he asks to speak with. The Beast walks over to Cap, while Storm suggests to Logan that he should go over with them as well. ‘I ain’t going anywhere near that’ Wolverine replies.
‘I sarcastically wonder what that conversation is going like’ Kitty remarks, while Bobby claims that he knows exactly how that conversation is going like. ‘I said sarcastically -’ Kitty begins, while Bobby announces ‘Cap is saying “You’re telling me that you once again abused the Space-Time Continuum for your own selfish purposes”’ and Kitty remarks ‘“But Captain, you see, indubitably, vis-à-vis, concurrently! There are many theories how the Space-Time Continuum is a natural living organism that doesn’t blah blah blah”’.
Iceman continues to pretend he knows what Captain America is saying: “Don’t talk to me with your double-talking space science jibber-jabber! I’m from 1940! I don’t understand how you people do it with your model T Fords and your ladies that walk around with their arms uncovered!” He adds “Let me make this perfectly clear, the Avengers don’t like that you X-Men just do whatever you want. We are watching you”. Kitty laughs and continues pretending to be the Beast: “We are not children, Captain. Except that most of us are”. Iceman continues, “You have to take responsibility for your actions. It’s bad enough that Scott Summers is running around declaring a mutant revolution while you guys sit here and do nothing about it”.
“Why don’t you do something about it, flag boy?” Kitty calls out, pretending to be the Beast still. “What should I do?” Iceman asks. “What should I do?” says Kitty. “Hank, so help me! If you know where Scott Summers is and you’re not telling us…” Iceman calls out, pretending to be Captain America. “Dear Captain, if I knew where Scott Summers was…” Kitty replies. Suddenly, the young Scott Summers - Cyclops from the past - strides past Wolverine and walks towards Captain America. ‘Summers, what do you think you’re doing?’ Wolverine calls out. ‘Scott, don’t’ Storm adds. ‘And if I find out that you know -’ Captain America can be heard saying, but he stops himself mid-sentence when the young Cyclops appears before him.
‘Hello, Captain. I’ve been studying up on recent events’ the young Cyclops announces. ‘I realize that you and I have found ourselves on different sides of the fence on a lot of issues. I just wanted you to know that I plan on doing everything I can to make it right. I hope you give me the chance’. Cap, and his teammates behind him, stare at the young Cyclops in shock. Cyclops then turns and walks back to the X-Men, where both Angels are now standing, as are his other teammates brought to the present from the past - Iceman, the Beast and Jean “Marvel Girl” Grey. ‘Nicely done’ Wolverine tells the young Cyclops. ‘You’re welcome’ the young mutant replies, while Jean looks at him, concerned. ‘Please tell me you have this under control’ Cap asks Hank. ‘I don’t have any of it under control’ Hank replies.
As the Avengers return to the Quinjet, Cap asks Hank to try to keep him in the loop. ‘There is no loop’ Hank replies. ‘Just -’ Cap begins, but Hank assures him that he will do his best. ‘That’s all I can ask’ Cap tells him. ‘That’s all I can do’ Hank points out. The X-Men watch as the Avengers depart in the quinjet, when suddenly, an alarm sounds.‘Damn, Hank! What the hell is that noise?’ Wolverine asks as he covers his ears. Hank explains that the alarm in his lab just went off, that someone must have broken in. ‘Quentin Quire?’ Storm asks. Both Hanks suddenly look at the present Angel. ‘Warren!’ the present Hank declares. ‘The Time Cube!’ the past Hank remarks.
And, inside the lab, the young Warren panics, as he taps into a computer. ‘Come on!’ he calls out, but the computer tells him that the manual override is denied. Both Hanks rush into the lab, ‘Warren, what are you doing?’ the past Hank asks. ‘I’m going home!’ Warren replies, while the present Hank points out that he doesn’t know how to work that. The past Hank reminds his teammate that they made an agreement. Crying, the past Warren shouts ‘No! You made an agreement. I was outvoted. I’m going home. I don’t like it here. We - we - we shouldn’t be seeing this stuff’. The past Iceman sleds into the lab, and tells his friend that they will talk about it. ‘Have you seen me? Have you see what I’ve become? Something really bad happened to me. I don’t want to be here!’ Warren cries.
The young Hank tells his teammate that if he goes back, then Charles Xavier will know what they have done here. ‘Good’ Warren mutters. ‘Then we go back to our time, and Charles will erase our memories, and we will -’ he begins, but Warren screams ‘I DON’T CARE! Stop talking in circles! If this is the way our lives go it’s because we earned it!’ He adds that he wants to go home and the second he can go, he is getting the hell away from everyone ‘You - you wanted to teach me something - you wanted to show me something? You showed me all I need to get the hell away from -’ he declares, before going blank. The others stare at him, including Wolverine who has now entered the lab. ‘Is he having a stroke?’ the past Iceman asks as he moves closer to his teammate. ‘Warren?’ the past Cyclops asks.
‘What’s for lunch?’ Warren asks, smiling, no evidence that he was screaming and crying. ‘Is anybody else starving? I’m starving’ Warren smiles. ‘Um…’ the past Bobby mutters. ‘Uh…’ Kitty calls out. ‘He’ll be fine’ a voice announces. Everyone turns to the lab door and sees Jean Grey standing there. ‘We’re not going back’ she announces. ‘Jeannie? Did you just -?’ Hank asks. ‘He’ll be fine’ Jean repeats herself. Hank tells Jean that she isn’t allowed to go digging into other people’s minds and just change them for her own reason. ‘Henry, don’t you of all people start lecturing me on using your God-given things for selfish purposes’ Jean replies, adding that they are staying, because it was decided.
‘He just needs to calm down. So I helped him calm down. Everything’s fine’. Jean adds, staring into the lab. She then turns, ‘I can read your minds’ she tells everyone as she leaves the lab. Kitty looks shocked. Storm looks ashamed, while Wolverine hangs his head. The present Angel looks confused, while the past Angel stares at the ceiling. Jean’s teammates look on, unsure of what lies ahead, while Jean adds ‘Stop worrying. I’m in total control’.
