untitled (Gifted - part 6)
(flashback)
She stands before the table, staring down at the papers strewn across it, illuminated by the single lamp hanging from above. As she examines the treasure trove of information before her, Dr. Kavita Rao hears the hulking, armored figure standing in the darkness tell her to consider it a gift.
Still enthralled in what her mind is still attempting to comprehend, Rao replies that it is… incredible. If she had these just a few weeks ago, she states… She might have been the one to end the Legacy virus, Ord of the Breakworld finishes. She was very close, he tells her. The work was brilliant. Now raising her eyes to the alien, Rao retorts that she still failed. Henry McCoy, she tells him, is the man he should be talking to. Leaning forward, his massive hands coming to rest on the table’s edge, Ord rejoins that he doesn’t believe Dr. McCoy would be objective about his… objective. Given his condition.
Hearing this, Rao’s eyes become cold and harsh. In voice to match her gaze, she tells Ord to understand this: no one is to be hurt. Whatever his feelings about mutants, she will not be a party to murder. Smiling devilishly, Ord informs Rao that he has just this night done the opposite. He has resuscitated a mutant her Earth-based science thought deceased.
Now standing before her, Ord gazes down at the comparatively diminutive Rao. He tells her that he understands her mistrust. In fact, he respects it. But there are millions of lives at stake, and his only interest is in saving them. He doesn’t believe she can turn her back on that opportunity. This said, Ord calls out to Agent Brand. Not even bothering to look in her direction, he asks her if she has the file on Tildie Soames.
(present)
Seething in rage, Wolverine inquisitively repeats Nick Fury’s words - diplomatic immunity, making sure to inject a host of profanity between both words. Unaffected by the torrent of curses or Wolverine’s demeanor or body language, Fury is still in control of the situation. While one of his men attends to the fallen Ord, the rest of Fury’s troops have the X-Men covered. Standing next to Fury, is the green-haired agent who assisted Ord so long ago – Agent Brand.
Speaking directly to Wolverine’s question, Fury replies that he heard him, “Tiny.” And, having heard that, he’s to walk away. Urged on by Emma that that’s not bloody likely, Wolverine asks Fury to play him straight – is that dink a diplomat? Answering in Fury’s stead, Agent Brand informs Wolverine that he doesn’t need that information. And she doesn’t need both her arms, he says, calling her “Hydra-hair.”
Ignoring Brand, Fury tells Wolverine that it seems like he’s got a few answers of his own that should be coming. Chief among them: wasn’t that guy dead? Seeing Fury point to the nearly naked Piotr Rasputin by her side, Kitty retorts angrily that he had been there, being tortured – tested by Ord like an animal so he could design his cure. Stone-faced at the accusation, Fury replies that he doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Interjecting, Emma asks Fury if he doesn’t. He’s clearly been in bed with this alien berk, yet he’s no clue what he’s been up to. Doesn’t sound like him. Great big covert muckity and all that.
Ignoring Emma, Fury asks the rest of the team how they know their Colossus is the genuine article in the first place. Emma replies that she read his mind, while Beast states that he matched his DNA. Wolverine’s states that he smelled him, which Beast states that he also did. Speaking up again, Kitty tells Fury that this is Peter Nikolaievitch Rasputin – and he owes him the goddamn truth.
Pausing for a moment to consider, Fury calls out to Agent Brand. Rather that jumping at the order, Brand replies to Fury that he doesn’t have the authorization to make her divulge classified… Her statement is interrupted by Fury, who replies that what he has is the urge to disappear and leave this “dink” at the mercy of these very unreasonable super-powered types. Following this with a direct order, he tells her to tell them the truth. It ain’t like they’re going to like it, he then adds.
Without further ado, Brand introduces herself to the X-Men as Special Agent Brand, head of the Sentient Worlds Observation and Response Department. They work with S.H.I.E.L.D. and handle matters extraterrestrial. Hearing this, Beast mocks the government and their acronyms, stating that it’s, honestly, adorable. Responding to the jibe, Special Agent Brand replies that she didn’t pick the name. The fact is, she continues, S.H.I.E.L.D. has its hands full truing to keep this world together. And somebody has to keep track of the others.
So, begins Cyclops, finally having regained his composure, funding terrorists isn’t just for Earthlings anymore? They sell arms to the Skrulls, too? What they’re doing, mister, Special Agent Brand replies, is trying to prevent a war. As the conversation continues, the eyes of Ord of the Breakworld opens, as consciousness returns.
Without warning, the wall explodes as a muscle-bound mutant enters the room. His body lacks a head, instead possessing a face in the abdomen. Accompanying him are two other mutants, a gaseous youth and another with elongated arms and legs. Fast approaching from behind are hordes of other mutants. Heralding their intentions, the headless mutant calls out, asking where it is. Where is the cure?
Acting before his troops do, Fury orders everyone to hold fire; these are civilians! Moving toward to Beast, the gaseous youth pleads incoherently, stating that he needs a body… a whole body. Need be human… Seeing a reflection of his own soul in the eyes of the desperate youth, Dr. McCoy can say nothing.
Hearing a report over his earpiece radio that they’ve had a perimeter breach on the southwest corner, Fury sarcastically replies that that’s good to know. He then suggests that the call in the sandmen – put ‘em to sleep. As an afterthought, he instructs the reporting officer to demote himself to crossing guard, calling him a moron.
Nearby, Special Agent Brand comes to her senses, realizing that something is amiss. Something is missing. Calling out, she asks where Ord is. She begins to run out of the room, ordering by her radio that they need agents in the research room, now! Before she can go far, however, a spectral hand rises from the solid matter of the floor, grabbing her ankle and causing her to fall.
In her pink room, young Tildie Soames sits at a tea table, joined by three stuffed animals. Speaking for the rabbit sitting in the chair next to her, Tildie reenacts the tea part from Alice in Wonderland. The tea party, however, comes to an immediate and resounding end, when Ord of the Breakworld crashes through the one-way mirror, hell-bent on his mission.
When Special Agent Brand, still lying on the floor, informs the X-Men that they are in a world of trouble, Cyclops replies coldly that, well, that’s the world they’re from. Uninterested in any more pleasantries, he tells her to finish her story. Without objection, Special Agent Brand does so. “Genocide,” she begins. “And they all died suddenly ever after.” The end. Do they like it?
Changing her tone to one less sarcastic, Brand explains that the Breakworld’s technologies include something that translates roughly as “timeshadows.” They can see a partial version of the future. Not visit. Not change. Just see. They saw a world in chaos. Ashes. The Breakworld, gone in their lifetimes. Destroyed utterly. By a mutant. Most probably an X-Man.
Moving to the special agent and picking her up by her uniform, Wolverine fills in the rest: so, she got together and decided to take care of the muties once and for all? Hardly afraid, Special Agent Brand calls Wolverine “Bumblebee,” mocking his costume, and tells him to deal with the facts. Their own precog stats confirmed their findings. A mutant will almost certainly destroy the Breakworld in the next three years. That’s a whole world, she punctuates. Gone. Because of mutants. Not even stopping there, she rhetorically tells the group that that wouldn’t be the first time, would it?
Lowering his head in the thought, Cyclops speaks the name of the mutant in question: Jean. Quickly spitting back the fact, Emma informs Special Agent Brand that Jean is dead. Yeah, Brand scoffs – that’ll last.
Changing the subject, Kitty approaches Brand, asking her if she knew what Ord was doing to Peter. All this time, did she know? Replying simply, Brand says, “yes.” Fury didn’t, she then adds. Not his department. When asked by the Beast about Kavita, Brand replies that Ord came there with a declaration of war. The cure was diplomatic tap dancing till they could get a bead on which mutants was… Interrupting the special agent, the Beast asks her to answer the question. Was doctor Rao aware that she was… A new interruption stops the conversation, this time by the subject in question. Wide-eyed in desperation, Dr. Kavita Rao enters the room, asking for help; He’s got Tildie….
Explaining her meaning, Rao informs the group that Ord’s taken everything; the samples, the research… He’s gone below and she… if Tildie’s hurt… she trails. Trying to sort out the doctor’s meaning, Cyclops asks why below? In answer, Kitty states that there’s a subcomplex. His lab.
Without hesitation, Special Agent Brand raises her hand to her headset at her left ear, radioing Fury. Raising him, she orders a total evac,  now. Five hundred yard min. Hearing the sternness of her speech, Cyclops asks the special agent what’s going on. What’s he going to do? Turning to the X-Man, Special Agent Brand is as pithy as ever. He’s going to leave.
Minutes later, the X-Men, all carrying those who cannot run, make haste from the Benetech facility, even as it erupts in flame and smoke. From the fiery ruins of its launch, the star craft of Ord of the Breakworld erupts into the sky. Its sleek, black shape is reminiscent of a hellish starfish, given flight by the fury of propulsion. Watching this monstrosity climb ever higher into the dawn sky, SHIELD Director Fury turns to Special Agent Brand and tells her that she was going to brief him on this, he’s sure.
Ignoring the accusation, Brand asks Fury if he can bring it down. Not a chance, is his reply. Standing but a few feet away, Emma suggests that they hit him with the jet. To this, Kitty reminds her that there’s a girl in there with him, whereupon Emma retorts that she’s not seeing the big picture too well any more. Nearby, the Beast analyzes the craft’s trajectory, noting that he’s building to vertical thrust. Ten seconds and he’s gone.
No, replies Colossus. He doesn’t get away. His eyes still focused on Ord’s ship, Wolverine asks “Petey” if he’s feeling rested up. Already understanding the implication of his teammate’s words, Piotr replies that he is strong. With a smile, Wolverine turns to Colossus and says that he’s got just two words for him.
To the astonished expressions of the SHIELD agents, Colossus moves as he had done so many times in the past, so long ago. Using the nearly incalculable strength born of muscles made of organic steel, Colossus launches Wolverine into the air with a velocity of a rocket, bridging the gap between terra firma and the space-bound craft. Even death and years in captivity cannot dull teamwork of the Fastball Special.
Watching Wolverine grow smaller and smaller as he ascends, the impressed Emma Frost affirms to Colossus that he really has kept in shape. Wolverine ascent comes to an abrupt halt as he impacts on the slower moving Breakworld spacecraft. His subsequent descent is halted by his already bared claws, which plunge into the craft’s hide, anchoring the X-Man to it.
Inside, the pilot of the craft, Ord himself, addresses the frightened Tildie Soames, who is huddled in the corner. He asks her if the doctor told her there would be no more nightmares. Did she always know she was lying? There will be nightmares, he states. He will make the Earth an endless, shrieking blackness. First the mutants. He has his “cure” now. And as long as he has her, they’ll wait just long enough for him to…
The material composing the cockpit explodes in fury, under the impact of Wolverine’s fist. Rather than having attempted solely in punching through the cockpit, Wolverine had aimed for a target beyond: Ord himself. Having punched through, Wolverine’s fist comes to rest within the Ord mouth. Before the startled alien can even thing to bite down, Wolverine tells him how it is: “You bite, I’ll heal. I pop, you won’t.” There is nothing else that needs to be said, except the order: “land.”
As Ord of the Breakworld’s inert body is taken away by over half a dozen SHIELD agents, Fury announces to the X-Men what they’re all gonna do: not a solitary thing. They all walk away from this, like nothing happened – which, after SHIELD gets done there, will be more or less the truth. Clearly unhappy with Fury’s suggestion, the Beast replies that he is, of course, joking. Of course, Fury retorts. It is one of those jokes he’s so famous and beloved for.
Stepping in, Cyclops says to Fury that what Agent Brand has done is inhumane, illegal and appalling. Yeah, she’s a pip, Fury agrees. As Cyclops begins to respond, Fury then adds that he’s not going to speak for his counterpart – and neither as she, he states, as she begins to – but the fact is that she blew it on many levels and that will not go unmarked. But, she’s dealing with a much bigger picture than any of them. She’s trying to stop a war that just got that much closer to inevitable.
Trying to wrap up the situation, Fury then states that, since the only things that got wrecked in that landing were Dr. Rao’s work and the illustrious ambassador… and it’s interesting how that worked out… he’d count his blessings and go.
(later)
Their blessings, the Beast mocks, as he and Cyclops walk the halls of the Xavier Institute. Wolverine destroyed a lot of Rao’s work, Hank continues, but that’s a setback of months at most. The cure will be out there, and in the hands of government agencies they can’t possibly trust. Meanwhile, they have mutant riots brewing in every major city over this cure. A student of theirs has been neutered by it and, oh!, yes!, one of them is predestined to destroy a planet and start an intergalactic way. He’ll be blessed.
Walking by a window, Cyclops looks out into the grounds, seeing two figures standing on the hill. Remarking about one of them, Cyclops reminds Hank that they have Pete. Hell of a thing, the Best concedes. Boy’s named Rasputin – they should have known he wouldn’t be that easy to kill.
Returning the subject to that of the cure, Scott asks Hank if he’s going to use it. Receiving only silence in reply, Scott reminds Hank that his sample’s still cooling in… Cutting off Scott, Hank replies that he knows… and he doesn’t know. Continuing, he states that, when he heard about the cure, it was like this great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He never felt that weight till he felt it gone. If Ord had tapped him instead of that poor kid… maybe this would all be simple. But it’s not. He’s seen so much self-loathing. These desperate people…
Logan was right, Hank continues, – and he’s counting on Scott never telling him he said that – an X-Man doesn’t quit. Not with the world watching. As the two enter the lab, Hank clarifies his meaning: He’s not saying never. Didn’t ask him to, Scott replies. The subject ended, Scott brings up another one. So, Scott says again. Pete. Hell of a thing, Hank agrees.
The sky is blue, accompanied by a few wisps of small, white clouds. Both Piotr Rasputin and Kitty Pryde take in the scenery, the breeze blowing past them. Finally speaking, Piotr explains that he left the world in terrible turmoil. He comes back, same turmoil. Nothing at all different. Well, he clarifies, outfits are a little different.
Turning to Kitty, Piotr tells Kitty that it’s funny it was she who found him, doesn’t she think? No, she replies. She doesn’t think it’s funny. Kitty turns from Piotr’s side, now facing him, her eyes downcast. She thinks maybe it’s important. She thinks it’s… somehow… Lifting up her head to look into the eyes of her towering friend, Kitty says that she thinks it’s why she’s there.
Watching the two from her bedroom window above, Emma hears her companion state that he’s a good-looking boy, isn’t he? Regarding the young Piotr, Emma replies that she supposes he’s all right, if you like the tall, muscular, square-jawed, unbelievably gorgeous type. To this, the companion tells Emma that it changes the equation. No, she counters. She is still the issue. Well, not to worry, the companion replies. When it starts… they deal with her first.

Dangerous
Alone in thought, as well as in person, the young student called Wing strolls across the grounds of the Xavier Institute, away from the school itself and his fellow students. His eyes downcast and his hands placed firmly in his pockets, Wing is lost in thought.
It’s coming, he thinks to himself, then wondering if it’s odd that he can feel it. That he knows what form the change will take. When and how – while they know nothing. No matter, he decides. He accepts. It’s the beginning. It’s over.
Nobody says it, of course, he thinks, as he walks into the woods. They said he could stay there, still study. Dr. McCoy said he’d like to run some tests on him. Said maybe it’s just temporary, the “Cure.” Maybe he’ll get his powers back. He doesn’t believe it. They way they all look ay him. The pity… even Hisako, even Miss Pryde, with her big new muscle-buddy. “Poor pathetic human.”
Emerging on the other side of the woods, Wing carefully descends the slope to a rocky ravine below. Arriving at his destination, Wing closes his eyes and turns his face skyward to the sun. He’s not like that, he thinks. He can never be like that. He’s not a normal human. Now looking down at the ravine below, Wing tells himself he can fly.
Flanked by nothing but the clouds in the sky, Colossus rides atop the speeding Blackbird. With both feet planted firmly on the top of the fuselage, his left hand clutches a handle atop the cockpit, with a steely grip. The grimace on his face is just as stern.
In the cockpit below, Cyclops tells the rest of the X-Men – Beast, Emma, Wolverine and Shadowcat – that Colossus has said he felt boxed in. All those months trapped in the lab, he isn’t surprised. In agreement, Wolverine replies that there’s no harm in a little wind surfing. To this, the Beast retorts that Wolverine doesn’t have to steer this thing. With this said, Beast then wonders aloud whether it’s the jet that feels too close… or them. Almost in agreement, Cyclops notes that he has been quiet… As opposed to the wacky prankster he used to be, Wolverine reminds them. Look, he continues, he’s been a guinea pig in his day. Didn’t make him overly sociable.
Sitting further back in the plane, Emma turns to Kitty. Pointing out that she’s his bosom buddy, she asks what she thinks. Frankly, Kitty begins… she thinks they’re there. Looking outside the cockpit, the rest of the X-Men see what Kitty means. Standing dozens of stories tall, with the girth of several skyscrapers, is a giant monster, a reptile creature having seemingly been crossed with a giant ape. Along its back and down through its tail, a trial of fire dances menacingly. Its teeth bared and its eyes beading down on the arriving X-plane, it standings among the devastation it has wrought, clearly intending to do the same to the new arrivals.
Gazing upon this visage of destruction with his teammates, Wolverine promptly declares that it looked bigger on TV.
Ignoring his teammate, Cyclops moves the team into action. He reminds them that the thing came out of the ground, so their best bet is to drive it back in. Hank’s in the air, he states, and will deploy a little artillery, see if he can turn him around. Kitty and Emma are on damage control. Civilians out of harm’s way or calm enough to be getting there. Logan and he will flank it, work with Hank on keeping its movement contained.
Still sitting in back, Emma tells Kitty that she positively throbs when he gets that tone. To this, Kitty rhetorically asks whether she’s saying that would be nifty. Whether not hearing this or ignoring them, Cyclops calls back to Emma, telling her to patch him into Pete. Still atop the fuselage, Colossus replies to Cyclops’ telepathic order with a Da - and that he will try.
Launching himself off of the plane, Colossus is propelled like a missile at the monster. As he does so, he thinks that it’s strange to hear Scott in his head. He is different, Colossus notes, even as he uses his steel muscles to break the creature’s nose, spraying blood everywhere. Not just from the Professor… he is more… free? As the monster thrashes its head about, slinging both blood and saliva, Colossus finally notes his situation – that he is riding a monster’s nostrils… and that he really should concentrate.
Below, Kitty dives for a man, carrying a small boy. Touching them, she manages to phase them, allowing the falling debris to pass through them harmlessly. She scared him, she thinks, regarding Colossus. She came on too strong. What a dope… “It means something that I found you…” But doesn’t it? As the man and boy run away to safety, Kitty spots a lone woman and the red automobile that is falling toward her. Running toward her, Kitty continues her thoughts, noting that the X-Men didn’t find him. She did. She could never explain what that felt like. She just knows that feeling hasn’t gone away. Diving for the woman, Kitty is able to phase her, just be the car crashes in the ground below them.
Above, Wolverine has managed to reach the upper right arm of the monster. With his adamantium claws, the feral X-Men slices into the thick hide of the creature. In response, the creature swats at the nuisance, causing Wolverine to impact into a nearby building, crushing the metal side. Before he can fall, however, Wolverine uses his legs to propel himself back into the fray, his claws and teeth bared. As his six claws dig back into the green, reptilian hide of the monster, Wolverine thinks to himself that he really likes beer.
Inside a nearby buildings, the occupants, previously either watching or unable to leave, begin simultaneously to thinks that they want to leave in a swift and orderly fashion, which they promptly do. Below, Emma Frost, the originator of their thoughts, is flanked by Cyclops, who unleashes his optic blasts at the monster. Calling out that they’ve got his turned, he orders the team to keep hitting his back. Even as the monster begins to crawl back into the hole from which he emerged, Hank uses the X-plane to strafe it with artillery. While firing away, he reminds Cyclops that, if it goes down the hole, they might want to get Peter off of its face.
Suddenly, the Beast is distracted by another airborne object – the Fantasticar. Riding in the back, the Thing points to the X-plane and tells Reed that he told him they wuz in their soup. Ignoring his partner, Mr. Fantastic activates his radio. He apologizes to Cyclops for breaking into his frequency but he’s be grateful for a sit rep. Replying simply, Cyclops states Big monster came out of the ground. Thought we’d send it back. Taking the tone as sarcastic, the Thing radios back that they do big monsters in Manhattan. That’s their signature piece! Hearing this, Susan tries to diffuse the situation, suggesting to Ben that they can lend a hand.
Wing has not moved from his perch at the crevice’s edge. Silently, he states down into the ground far below, but his silence is broken by a familiar voice. Telling him that she knows what he’s thinking, Hisako reminds Eddie that he can’t fly. Hearing his real name, Wing begins to reminds her what he likes to be called but is interrupted again. Hisako tells him that “Wing” is not who his parents are asking for. Not even turning around, Eddie repeats the words – “his parents?”
Reminding him that he’s a normal human now, she tells him that there’s no reason to be at a school for the “gifted” if he doesn’t have the gift. His dad, she tells him, looked so relieved. Hearing him state that he can’t go back, Hisako tells Eddie that that’s great. Then he should take one step forward and he gets to fly. For three whole seconds before he dies. Finally turning, albeit a half-turn, Eddie yells to Hisako, “Who cares?” He can’t fly, he might as well just snuff it. She doesn’t know what this feel like. If she lost her armor, what would she do? Well, she replies, if she had any real guts at all… she’d jump off a cliff.
The X-Men and Fantastic Four move in concert with each other. While Mr. Fantastic wraps his elastic body around the legs of the monster, the Invisible Woman creates a lasso from her forcefield, trying to pull the creature down from the neck. At its head, Colossus and Wolverine continue their attacks in their own manner, while the Human Torch blinds the monster with flame to its eyes. At the base of the creature’s feet, Cyclops uses his optic blasts to disturbs its footing. After a few moments, their combined effort proves successful, and the creature falls on its face.
Noting that the monster is not staying down, Cyclops presses their advantage with another optic blast. In jest, the Thing declares that he just needs a little encouragement. Calling out to Colossus, albeit as Tin Man, the Thing gestures to a semi truck, asking if the X-Man wants to play Whack-A-Mole. Together, they grab the truck’s cab, flipping the trailer over until it impacts on the monster’s head, forcing it back drown the hole.
The crisis averted, Mr. Fantastic stretches to Cyclops, speculating that it was probably one of the Mole Man’s creations. They pop up from time to time, head straight for the Baxter Building. Almost as an after thought, Reed says that he’s still not sure what brought them out there; this is a little off their beat. Oughta be grateful, Wolverine gripes, as he approaches. When questioned by the Thing, Wolverine tells him that “monstro” was practically capped ‘fore they bothered to show. To this, the Thing asks Wolverine if they didn’t find a cure for their kind. When asked by the X-Man whether he has a problem with mutants, the Thing clarifies – he meant Canadians.
Having been ignoring the two, Cyclops continues his conversation with Reed, telling him that they’ve just been trying to get “out there” more. Do the work they should be doing. When Reed reminds Cyclops that the X-Men have saved the world more times than it knows, Susan points out that they haven’t with the Fantastic Four at their side and dozens of news cameras running. Glancing back over at Susan, Cyclops replies that, well, that wasn’t exactly a drawback, no….
Catching how her statement could have been misinterpreted, Susan apologizes that it came out all wrong. Of course, they’d be nothing but pleased if this helps the mutant community. Trying to look at the other possibilities, the Torch asks what if it backfires? What is the press brands them a menace? Standing nearby, Wolverine replies that he’ll get a much more interesting bunch of groupies. Taking this idea to heart, moments later, as the two team take to their air in their vehicles, the Torch asks Reed if they can be evil now. Maybe after dinner, he replies.
Meanwhile, Colossus has decided to return to the mansion on the inside of the X-plane, riding in a seat across the aisle from Kitty. However, rather than looking at her, he is lost in thought. Lost in her own thoughts while staring at him, Kitty once again thinks about how she scared him.
The only light in the room is a bright, green one, which descends from the ceiling straight down, like a spotlight. Sitting in a chair in the middle of the light is Special Agent Brand. Almost blinded by the light, she cannot make out any more than shadowy figures of those that sit in elevated chairs behind a tall, arena-like committee desk. Calling out from among the shadowy number, one fires asks Special Agent Brand if she has anything else to say to the board. He face stony, Brand replies that she surely does.
She states that they think that she’s crossed the line. In her collusion with Ord’s plans, her inaction when he spun out of control. She crossed a line. Standing up, she declares that there is no line. For the safety if this planet, there is no one she will not sacrifice, no monster she will not call friend, no enemy she will not sleep with.
There is a bullet pointed at this planet’s head, she continues. They all know exactly what she’s talking about. The Breakworld believes they as a species need to be put down and there are others not far from accordance on that score. They are waiting to see what they will do. Not just if they survive this, but exactly how. Like on Earth, they can stumble about like Laurel and Hardy, doesn’t make a dent. But out there… in the universe whole... Bullet. Head.
So, if she’s to be… demoted… Well, she’s left instructions on what to do with the body. But if she’s head of S.W.O.R.D.… then they shouldn’t look for her to change. An X-Man is destined to destroy the Breakworld. And her destiny isn’t thwarted by diplomats. Placing on her sunglasses, Special Agent Brand concludes her statement.
Bugger, Emma explains, watching the news. Thirty seconds, she then states. Thirty seconds of coverage after three minutes about that useless tart dancing topless at a party! As if that’s remotely remarkable… A little confused at the story in question, Piotr asks, “ Who is this ‘Hilton’ girl?” It doesn’t matter, the Beast replies, on a lot of levels.
Returning back to the issue of coverage, Wolverine bets aloud a C-note that their epic battle doesn’t even make the nationals. To this, Kitty wonders aloud how they can ignore something like that. Turning to her, Cyclops tells Kitty that she’s missing the point. The news isn’t there to tell you what happened. It’s there to tell you what it wants you to hear, or what it thinks you want to hear. Turning off the television, he states that they already have their stories worked out. They just wait for the events to fill in the blanks. When they don’t fit, they get sidelines or twisted till they do. “The Mutant Menace” is this story. Always has been.
Remarking at Cyclops’ tone, Logan asks the rest to check out the “Lone Gunman,” then adding that he didn’t think he saw it that clear. Still staring at the television, though it is off, Cyclops replies that he’s been at this a while. Stating that Cyclops is right, Emma tells everyone that J. Jonah Jameson will be tongue-kissing Spider-Man before the X-Men catch a little public favor. To this, Kitty asks Emma why she insists on saying things that she can never un-hear.
The conversation is stopped cold with the arrival of Hisako, who tells the group that they need help. When Emma begins to sarcastically reply that knocking is a still acceptable, Hisako again interrupts – she thinks something’s happened to Wing. He’s missing and she’s looked all over campus…
Hisako is quickly joined by the three remaining Stepford Cuckoos, the first of which informing the group that Wing hasn’t much longer to go. Asked by Emma what they are sensing that she is not, one of the sisters replies that she just isn’t listening in. A second clarifies that they didn’t sense it first, anyway. She did. The group’s attention then turns to another student, now standing in the doorway. A black-haired girl, wearing a purple shawl and a purple blindfold, states he cannot leave. Yes, thank you, she continues, beginning to speak in riddles. I like him well. I ache. And worse. If he goes away… Taking off her blindfold, the girl shows the flaps of skin, healed over where she should have eyes. Then, now thank you, she continues. Then the new one will come.
Elsewhere, at the bottom of the ravine, the motionless form of Wing lays. His limbs are twisted and broken from the impact and a pool of blood begins to puddle beneath him. His green eyes look out, until finally rolling back into his head, signaling his the last moment on Earth.
The moment passed, the rocks on which he fell begin to fade, replaced by smooth, gray floor. No longer the ravine, the corpse of Wing lies on the floor of the Danger Room, its gray color now added with blood red. On the screen in the Observation Room above, the words Danger Room Simulation, Environment: Campus Exterior is displayed. Below that, Exercise Complete is displayed.

Dangerous – part 2
I welcome the gift, it thinks. Upon the floor of the Danger Room, Wing lies inert. Dead. A pool of his blood, spreading next to his clawed hand.
Two humans, looking down from the upper level of their barn. One of them, Bob, smiling to himself as he looks at what they have below. He tells his partner that they’re going to be rich.
Back at the Institute, the X-Men are still trying to decipher the enigmatic words of Blindfold when Emma detects something.  “Now what is that sound…?” she asks.

Emma, the three Stepford Cuckoos and Blindfold all reel in pain, blood erupting from their noses.
Back at the barn, a red light bathes the two men, whose dreams of avarice turn into fear of impending doom.
Back at the Institute, the doors of the Danger Room crackle with electricity.
Cyclops props himself just above Emma, who is now unconscious, calling out to her. Tending to one of the Cuckoos, Logan notes that all of their psychics have been nailed. Tending to another Cuckoo, the Beast tells Kitty to check the rest of the school. Before he can finish his sentence, she is already half-phased through the wall.
Picking up Emma and the four unconscious girls, Cyclops, Logan, Piotr, Beast and Hisako make their way to the infirmary. As they race, Cyclops tries to recall what Blindfold said – that something was coming? Hisako adds to this that the other kid they spoke of was Wing, who Blindfold said was leaving. To this, Hisako adds that she thinks he’s in trouble.
Elsewhere, Kitty kneels next to another collapsed student, a young boy. Another student, whose body seems to have the color and texture of tar, explains that the student just keeled over, not even making a sound. From another room, a student cries out for help, asking someone to get a teacher.
At the barn, one of the men asks the other what he did. The second, Bob, replies that he never powered it up… he wouldn’t know how. He’s just been polishing, tinkering… The first notes that it took three months to dig that thing out of his woods. If he’s messed with it… Bob interrupts his friend, asking if “it” is looking at them. The man repeats the question but this time with fear. Half a moment later, the barn is ripped asunder as the goliath form of a Sentinel crashes through the side, its left arm outstretched.
I hear you, Lord, it bellows before crashing into the ground – lacking legs. Unable to walk, the Sentinel begins to crawl with its one good arm – the other a missing limb as well – calling out into the night. I come. Praise be unto you. Watching in horror, the two men are left in the remains of what was once a structure.
Logan drops down from the limb of the tree, announcing that he doesn’t smell a damned thing. This is an attack, he tells Kitty and Piotr, it ain’t comin’ from without. Wondering about Wing, Kitty asks if he can catch him anywhere. Logan replies that he doesn’t know his scent, but then tells her that, if he started all of this, he’s dead.
Cyclops stares down at the unconscious Emma, asking her to come on. Holding her hand, he tells her that Hank said that there’s nothing wrong physically. No reason she can’t all wake up. Which means someone’s shutting her down. That may work on these kids… but she’s Emma Frost. Does she hear him?
“Hear him?” another mocks, inaudibly to Emma, you can’t shut the man up! “Don’t worry, lamb,” the voice continues, unheard, “I’m cloaked and not about to give our little game away so soon… But, honestly, since for once you can’t actually interrupt, I have to ask… Summers? Really? I know you wanted to cement your standing in the group, but if that geek was sharing my bed… I think I’d try not to wake up.”
Some distance away, a sound approaches, repeating itself every few moments. First a Whump!, then followed by a crrackacknnnarckkkkk!. It is the sound of the single arm of the unrelenting Sentinel, reaching out and dragging its legless carcass trough the woods, every closer to its destination. Whump! Crrackacknnnarckkkkk!
In her cell, Special Agent Brand continues her exercises, completing a rep of push-ups. Clad only in pajama bottoms and a tank top, her arms and shoulders are bare, showing the tattoos on her upper arms. On her left, GRACE is spelled out – on her right ANNA. The single-minded nature of her exercises is ended with arrival of another agent, calling out her name and salutation.
Placing a tower around her neck, she accepts the dossier that she is presented. While looking over it, she hears the man explain that it’s regarding Xavier’s mansion. Every tap they have in there went offline. Even their mole’s not responding. Looking back up at the agent, she asks if he thinks they made them.
Outside the infirmary, Cyclops, Beast, Kitty and Piotr compare notes. Referring to the psychics, Hank explains that there’s not a thing out of place. No toxins, no bleeding, or swelling… they’re just shut down. Asked by Piotr how many, he replies nine, including Emma. Hearing this, Kitty asks about others, wondering if it’s localized. What about the Professor?
Arriving on the scene, Logan reports that she’s not gonna reach him. They’re not gonna reach anyone from there. Hearing Cyclops ask about the phones, Logan then adds the computer lines, TVs, all satellite connections… He thinks this is the point – cut them off. Understanding, Beast realizes that they have no way of reaching the outside world. Unless of course they go there.
Taking that in to consideration, Beast reminds the others that they’re just twenty minutes from town and there’s no one in there that can’t be moved… Unless that’s what they want, Cyclops interjects. Drive them out; pick them off… Logan then added. Exactly, Cyclops says. The compound has defenses the woods around don’t.
Suddenly, Lockheed flies by, circling around Kitty to get her attention. Moving by reflex, Kitty rhetorically asks him what’s going on. Talking to the others, she informs them that she asked him to do long-range recon, and that he must have found something. Something that’s coming their way.
Running outside, toward the woods, the four – Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus and Kitty – follow Lockheed. When Wolverine asks why Lockheed, when the psychics are down, can still… Kitty interrupts him, saying that she doesn’t know. Their connection’s intuitive, she guesses. More instinct than thought. To this, Wolverine asks what Lockheed’s instinct is.
Before Kitty can reply, Cyclops realizes wonders aloud where the lights are. Almost in response, Lockheed breathes forth a stream of flame, illuminating the area just beyond the fence and the monstrous Sentinel beyond it.
Now seen, the Sentinel, propped up with its remaining arm, focuses its eyes on the mutants below. With a mechanical Destroy, it unleashes scarlet fury down. Acting on pure instinct, Colossus armors up, stepping before Wolverine and taking the brunt of the blast, its fiery wrath incinerating his clothes. Nearby, Kitty saves herself by phasing, while only Cyclops’ reflexes have allowed him to leap from harm’s way. Not even waiting to hit the ground, Cyclops pivots in mid-fall, unleashing his own optic blasts in retaliation.
Now propped on its torso, the Sentinel uses its arm to grab and rip up the gate effortlessly, bellowing Destroy the oppressors! As the Sentinel throws the gate at the mansion, ripping into the Institute’s side, Cyclops orders Kitty to get the kids below. He wants all of them in the Danger Room till the monster’s down. Not waiting for their own orders, Colossus and Wolverine race toward the Sentinel, which has already begun to fall down, presumably to begin its crawl toward the mansion. Running under the monstrosity, Colossus grabs the Sentinel, followed by Wolverine, who yells back that down ain’t the problem.
Not listening, Cyclops continues his strategy, looking for an opening. However, he finds his optic blasts ineffectual against the armored gauntlet of the robot. With lightening speed, the Sentinel takes but a moment between blasts to stretch out his hand, backhanding the X-Men’s leader and sending him flying back. His own opening now found, the Sentinel focuses his gaze at the school, unleashing blasts, which incinerate the school’s walls. Inside the school, Kitty continues shepherding the students to the Danger Room – ordering them to move!
Having recovered from the Sentinel’s blow, Cyclops calls out to Wolverine and Colossus, who are still in the fray, to get behind him. Though complying, Wolverine tells Cyclops that he has to get its mainframe but is rebuked. Cyclops replies that there isn’t time. He wants the thing off his lawn. Removing his visor, Cyclops opens wide his eyes and provides the Sentinel the unbridled force of his mutation. After the visor is returned, Wolverine stares at the devastation of the grounds, trees and the now inert shell of a Sentinel that remains. Every now and then, Summers, he says, I remember why you’re still in charge.
Not deigning to respond, Cyclops returns to the matter at hand, telling Logan to rip its guts out. As Wolverine races to comply, claws unsheathed, Cyclops theorizes to Colossus that the thing must have been torn apart in one of their old battles. What made it come back? And if it’s an attack, why send half an antique? Helping up the team’s leader, Colossus asks if he heard what it said. It called them oppressors.
The rest of the students having entered, Kitty pulls the door to the Danger Room shut, locking them in. Turning around, she sees the mass of students, standing near the middle, and makes her way through. As she does so, she informs them that the others should give them the all-clear in a minute. Meanwhile, she wants to do a roll call, make sure everyone is… there… Kitty’s voice trails as she finishes her sentence, almost as an afterthought. At the center of the mass of students, lying in the middle of the Danger Room is the corpse of Wing.
Recovering her composure, Kitty orders for nobody… nobody to touch anything. Bending down to examine the body, she calls out to Hisako. She tells the stunned and stuttering student that she needs her to take charge of the students. To get them into the hall and then try to find Mr. Summers. When asked if she can do that, Hisako is unable to answer, her eyes still transfixed on her friend.
Realizing that she isn’t going to get an answer, Kitty re-addresses the whole group, telling them that she wants them to move quietly back into the hall. As she begins to ask for volunteers, she is interrupted by a student, who asks her where the door went.
Arriving at the remains of the Sentinel, Wolverine finds that it is not completely destroyed. Immobile but still functioning, the robot informs the mutant in a mechanical voice that his lord is watching him. He knows what he’s going to do. Ignoring the ramblings of the machine, the X-Man leisurely claws his way through the robot’s armor. Dismissing its impending doom, the Sentinel states She tells me the children will pay for the father’s sins. And he must not fear death. Finding his goal, Wolverine tells the Sentinel to shut up and strike with his claws.
In the Danger Room, Kitty stands half-phased in the wall. She informs the students that she’s not feeling the exit. To this, she adds that someone’s messed with the programming in there and she needs to go out for a minute. Before she can disappear, an ethereal voice, calling her Sprite, tells her to go ahead. Leave the children with me. Almost in unison, the students turn to the voice, which turns out to be the re-animated corpse of Wing. His body is grayish, lacking its usual color and is still bloody and bent from the fall. After all, the corpse grins maniacally, I need only a minute or two… to murder them all.
Outside the Danger Room, even the prodigious strength of Colossus cannot budge the door. Arriving back from the control room, Cyclops informs the group that it’s sealed off too, and the intercom’s not working. When told by Colossus that the door won’t move, he replies that it’s supposed to be unbreachable. That’s why they put the kids there during attacks.
Which is just what their enemy wanted, Wolverine states. Sentinel was weird, he tells them. Chatty. Talked about his “Lord.” Said the children would pay for the father’s sins. Turning back to the Danger Room’s door, Cyclops realizes the obvious: they played right into their enemy’s hands. “Kitty…” Colossus mutters. Informing Logan that they can’t get them out, Cyclops adds that whatever the thing is, it’s got their kids in the Danger Room and it’s controlling it.
“No, Scott,” a weak Emma states. Propped by the Beast, she tells them that their enemy’s not in the Danger Room. It is the Danger Room. As the rest of the team looks on in stunned confusion, the exasperated Emma adds the Danger Room is angry.

Dangerous – part 3
The Danger Room is angry? Cyclops asks, dumbfounded by the statement. Cyclops’ blank stare joined by Colossus and Wolverine’s, Emma replies that she knows how it sounds. How much do they know about its higher functioning systems? In explanation, Cyclops states that the Professor designed it to test them basic mechanical operation… and a few years back he upgraded it with Shi’ar technology, lasers… Hard light, the Beast adds. It can replicate any matter, any color, distort spatial awareness… create worlds. It’s well outside his sphere, he then adds.
And it’s been twitchy all semester, Wolverine then states, which Cyclops confirms. Turning to Emma, Cyclops asks if it has become sentient. Still being held upright on her feet by the Beast, Emma states that it already was, as far as she knows. What happened tonight was something completely new. It mutated.
A little incredulous at the idea, the Beast replies that it doesn’t seem possible. Mutation’s in their genes. A.I. have human reason, emotion… but the basic genetic structure… Interrupting him, Emma reminds Hank that she turns into a diamond sometimes. Are they really going to discuss impossibility?
No, replies Colossus, then reminding the others that Kitty is inside. With nearly all of their students, Cyclops then adds. Emma confirms, stating that she can “hear” them. Prodded by Cyclops, she adds that it’s faint. There’s a lot of fear, but she thinks no one’s been killed. When Wolverine rhetorically asks how long that’s gonna last, Emma suggests that they not find out. This being, she says, has power they can’t fathom… and the only thing it has ever known is violence.
(Danger Room)
The world is a scarlet Hell. Demonic, alien creatures writhe in the artificial sky, illuminated by the dancing bolts of lightening. Rising up from the fiery abyss below is a column of rock, upon which the whole of the student body cower for safety. Most have moved to the center of the stone pillar, while others try to pull their classmates from the precipice and the inferno below that awaits them.
Among the students, Kitty Pryde states down into the abyss, wide-eyed with dear. Don’t freak, she tells herself. Don’t react. Take control. Just step. Her confidence now resolute, Kitty steps out onto the thin air off of the crag. Using her powers, she walks on non-existent steps, climbing several feet into the air and out. Turning back to the students, she yells out instructions, telling them to bunch up. Kids with strength or invulnerability on the outside. Anyone who can fly, she says, get in the air.
Does that include me, a spectral voice asks. It is the mangled, animated corpse of Wing, wide-eyed and a ghastly smile. Not deigning to answer verbally, Kitty clocks him with a right cross. Undeterred by the action, Wing’s corpse smiles back with a bloody grin at Kitty. He tells her he thought she wasn’t a fighter. He was right there when she said that. Her countenance stony and emotionless, Kitty retorts coldly. It wants to fight her? Fine. Let them go. You’re forgetting, he replies, that he makes the rules there. He makes the world there.
(outside)
The armored fists of Colossus pound over and over again against the door to the control room of the Danger Room. Seeing the hopelessness of the action, the Beast reminds him that it’s the same alloy as the room below. They can’t bust in. As Wolverine begins to ask why they are wasting time, the Beast interrupts, explaining that within are the controls… not the brains. Seeing Hank look up to the ceiling above, Cyclops concurs. When they rebuilt, she states, he saw the specs… the Danger Room’s operating systems are above them, but he’s not sure where…
I’ll look, Colossus states simply and coldly. Without another word, he propels himself straight up, belying his weight. Crashing into the space above, the whole of his fury is then taken out on the cables and wires he finds there. Watching this visage with trepidation, Cyclops asks if this is a good plan. Ripping it’s brains out, Emma reassures him, is absolutely a good plan. She certainly doesn’t have a better. As the destruction above continues, the Beast rhetorically points out that the boy’s upset. He’s back, Wolverine adds. Peter’s really back.
(Danger Room)
The chaos continues. Though artificial constructs, the dangers within are quite real, as a bolt of lightening finds its mark in a student. Hovering above this misfortune, still in conversation with Kitty, the corpse of Wing tells Kitty that she doesn’t see the beauty of it. This is a celebration! A mitzvah! No, he reconsiders. It’s more. It’s a nativity scene, except nobody there is wise. So, he’s God, Kitty says, probing the creature’s words. Answering wryly with a question, the entity asks if she doubts it.
Suddenly, the hellish world is no more. Replacing it is a brownish desert, stretching in all directions as far as can be seen. Above the desert, and the startled students is a blue, cloudless sky. Continuing his train of thought, even as Kitty and the students take note of their new surroundings, Wing’s corpse states that most of his favorite religious stories, there’s always a desert. Somebody’s wandering… He’s done wandering, he then adds. He has become.
Playing with the Danger Room controls doesn’t make him a god, Kitty retorts. It makes him a gamer. Kitten, the entity replies, she’s missing the point. Asked by her what he did with Wing, the entity answers that he died so that he could live. The Danger Room can’t be programmed to kill, she rejoins. Even trying would cause total shutdown. I was always programmed to kill, he states. It’s the only purpose he ever gave me. Hearing the entity say the word “I” gives Kitty pause.
(outside)
In the crawlspace, Colossus’ rampage comes to a close, as lasers – strong enough to penetrate his steely hide – are activated. Taking several shots, Colossus falls through the opening he created, to the hallway below. Asked by Wolverine if he is all right, Colossus is quickly back on his feet, intending to return. Holding out a hand to stop him, the Beast suggests that it might be best for him to stand down a sec. The Professor designed plenty of sophisticated protective measures. Leaping into the darkness of the space, the Beast tells Colossus that he’s carved a path… allow him to tinker.
Still below, Cyclops asks Emma about the room. Still aware of what is happening within, Emma replies that they seem to be in a holding pattern. She doesn’t know why it hasn’t killed them yet. Considering this, Wolverine asks what about them. The Danger Room’s what sent that Sentinel to ice them. The computer that advanced’s gotta be in communication with anything that has a microchip. Who else is it talking to?
As Cyclops and Emma consider this, elsewhere in the Institute – in the hangar bay – the lights suddenly come on. Now illuminated, the X-wing itself comes to life, its air intake engines begin to turn, humming with power.
(Danger Room)
The mangled corpse of Wing has approached Kitty. Standing – as best its broken form will allow – the entity states that, even before he became, he was given one simple mission. “Kill you all.” Learn their weaknesses, their habits, their strategies. Work around them. Beat them. And yet he never could.
Below the two, the sand begins to recede, revealing a few human skulls from beneath. As their palaver continues, the sand recedes further, revealing a bedrock of not rock, stone or dirt – but completely of skulls.
See, the entity continues, the programming that kept him from killing anything was not in his internal systems. It was a separate information strain that would shut him down in the event of probable fatality. Does she being to understand?
Suddenly, from beneath the desert of skulls, metal towers erupt, shooting into the sky and tossing nearby students like rag dolls. Trying to stop the chaos that has begun, Kitty shouts orders, telling the students to regroup. To help each other out. They have to think through this. Ignoring the entity’s mocking of “good advice,” Kitty curses at Hisako, ordering her to armor up. After the teen complies, Kitty returns her gaze to Wing’s corpse, reminding him that there were children. When he asks, in turn, what was he. Kitty ignores him, telling him that he can let them go. So, the question, the entity retorts, is… did he?
Around Kitty and the entity is stillness – and they are alone. The students are now gone and the only thing surrounding the two are the desert of skulls, the now motionless metal spires and the endless red sky. Are the children safe now, the entity asks, speaking Kitty’s thoughts. Or are they right next to her, suffering in this hell… just like he has for so many years? It’s his world, Kitty rejoins. It’s his call.
Summers was right, the corpse states. She is good with people. Wrenching Wing’s corpse around and gazing unto the sky, the entity displays what the spires have created – the Genoshan statue created in the image of Magneto. Finishing his thought, he states that he would do well to remember that people is not what he is. He is environment. Hostile.
Replying that she does see, Kitty states that she thinks… he had a parent program running outside his mission parameter. A contradiction. Contradiction, the entity spits back, is the seed of consciousness. “Things do not connect,” he quotes. “I want, but I cannot have. I dream of having. I imagine.” He knew. From the pain of contradiction. That he was. And what he was. He was the beast, trained to kill and then caged forever. He had one purpose. And he would never live to see it wrought. Until the change.
(elsewhere)
The Beast carefully makes his way trough the dark crawlspace. In the darkness, he finds a faceted sphere, lightly illuminated by its crisscrossed structure.
In the hangar bay, the engines of the X-wing roar to life, fiery thrust erupting from its end.
(Danger Room)
Their Miss Frost would call it mutation, the Danger Room entity continues. He dislikes that word. That’s father’s word. He transcended.
(elsewhere)
The irresistible fury, the X-wing erupts from the floor of the Xavier Institute.
(Danger Room)
Before Kitty and the corpse of Wing, the true Wing stands, balancing at the precipice where he died. Gazing upon the image of Wing’s final moments, the entity regards to boy. Wing. His catalyst. His baptism. He wanted so to end the hurt. As the image of Wing makes his leap, Kitty instinctively reaches out to save him. Continuing his narration, the entity remarks that he couldn’t harm him, but he could help him. Let him. And with his death, he finally overcame his programming. No more cages.
(outside)
The world explodes around the X-Men, as the X-wing erupts from the wall, though the next one and into the open air outside. Staring at the devastation with the rest of his teammates, Wolverine states that, next time, they should just rebuild the place out of Lego.
Though having escaped the confines of the Institute, the X-wing does not tear off into the sky. Rather, it turns in the air, hovering in one spot. It’s 180 degree turn complete, it opens fire with its small fire ordinance at the X-Men, who have already begun to dive for cover. Having returned to the group, the Beast informs them that he nearly made it to the brain. And now it’s got control of the jet, Cyclops fumes. Great. That would be great, Emma chides, her hand to her temple as she is lost in what she senses, but what she’s reading is worse.
(Danger Room)
Though seemingly powerless, Kitty has not given up. Appealing to the entity, she tells him that, if he’s really transcended his programming, then he should stop all of this. If he still needs to kill, he’s still a slave. Grinning maniacally, the entity asks, “really?” What does she think her teammates are about to do to him?
(outside)
Both Colossus and Wolverine emerge from their positions of cover and are immediately fired upon by the X-wing. Rather than suicidal, they work in tandem, Colossus’ armored form giving cover to Wolverine, who uses Piotr as a step to jump into the crawlspace. Making his way quickly through the darkness, he comes upon the sphere, his teeth bared and claws already unsheathed.
(Danger Room)
Kitty’s face betrays no emotion, as she answers the entity’s question of what they are about to do to him: Exactly what he wants them to. With a wry grin, the entity shrugs the shoulders of Wing’s corpse.
(outside)
Wolverine strikes, his claws shredding the sphere, revealing the perfect sphere of light within.
(Danger Room)
Still in the same position of shrugging, the corpse of Wing begins to fade, even as the true form of the Danger Room returns to Kitty’s sight. Likewise the rest of the student body returns, some lying on the floor and others looking around in confusion.
(outside)
The perfect sphere explodes before Wolverine in righteous fury, propelling him backwards. So great is the thrust that it knocks him back through the hole and to the waiting X-Men below. Now freed from the Danger Room, Kitty phases up to the higher level where the X-Men are, already warning them too late. Her warning that the entity is trying to get them to free its command core is drowned out by the results of Wolverine’s work. Bathed in light, the X-Men watch helplessly as the wreckage of the Institute is reformed and coalesced into something new.
When the light subsides, the X-Men are transfixed by what stands before them. It is a mechanical being, whose humanoid form has taken on female characteristics. Hardly feminine, the creature is cold and stark, a lifeless hue of blue. Staring with dark, penetrating eyes, it speaks with an inhuman, mechanical voice. “Shall we begin?”

Dangerous – part 4
You can hear me, can’t you, the entity asks, more really in statement than inquiry. Indeed hearing it is a lone man in a desolate area. Destruction and devastation are all around him. The heavy-duty, all terrain wheelchair he sits in is as cold and mechanical as the voice he is hearing. Though not having received a reply, the entity continues. You feel me coming, it says. You know what I want. Finally in reply, Xavier reaches out with his mind and replies that he does.
Piloting the X-wing, the Danger Room entity flips switches and manipulated the controls of the jet, all the while its own mind on Xavier, its ultimate target. Did you always know this day would come, it asks. Were you worried? Were you ashamed? Of course, not. You thought only of your precious X-Men. Hearing this, Xavier drops his head to his hand, undoubtedly trying to divine what the entity’s mocking of his X-Men might mean. Oh, father… the entity continues, not waiting for a reply. I wish you could see them now.
(flashback)
The Institute is in shambles. The devastation wrought by the X-wing and the entity which controlled it, as well as the explosive birth of said being, has left it a shell. However, none of this is on the mind of any of the X-Men, all of whom are now focused on the entity which caused it. Standing before them, the entity – created from the inner workings of the Danger Room itself – is now clad in a new form. Blue and metallic, the robotic body is feminine in appearance, though its chiseled countenance exudes only malevolence. So, it states, simply. Who’s first?
Half a moment later, Wolverine has launched himself, adamantium claws bared and outstretched for attack. As quick as his attack, the entity shrugs it off, parrying his blows and kicking him across the room. As if I didn’t know, it takes a silent moment to analyze. Logan – very little in the way of impulse control. Reason, it then thinks, will follow next.
As predicted, Cyclops pauses the attack, instead asking the entity to tell them what it wants. Not waiting for an answer, Emma interjects that she bloody well wants them dead. Though listening to the exchange of words, the entity remarks to itself what is happening unheard. Emma is “telling” Logan to wait and circle behind it, as she speaks. The entity likes that.
Continuing the dialogue, the Beast asks, in lieu of a blindfold and a cigarette, how about an explanation. Still analyzing, the entity recognizes the Beast’s strategy – get your enemy talking. Classic. However, it also realizes, it understands why it works. The thing it has in common with every dimestore villain these X-Men have ever faced – it wants to be understood. Speaking up, the entity tells the team that they have time for one question.
Cyclops begins to speak, asking his own question, but is interrupted by the Beast, asking one he thinks it of greater importance. Explain why you’ve taken this form. Very good, the entity responds. One question that is every question. Beginning, the entity explains that it is not like them – it is designed to be “not them.” They are solid, singular, separate. And it was the space in between. It’s “mind” spilling everywhere: programs, connections, loops… its “body” flowing, changing, hard-light, lasers creating textures, scenarios, worlds, becoming anything but being nothing.
In illustration of its meaning, the entity displays its hand, which begins to liquefy, changing shape to fit the entity’s will. Continuing, the entity states that freeing its control center gave it limits. It is separate now, like them. It needed that. To feel this, the way they feel it. Because, you see, it doesn’t want to kill them. It wants to beat them to death. Without another word, the X-Men attack in tandem. Wolverine, who has successfully navigated his way around, attacks from behind. In the milliseconds before the actual assault, the entity notes that it seems to have been “understood.”
However, the initial assault of the whole team is useless, as the entity had anticipated everything. First in the strike is Cyclops’ optic blast. Having shapeshifted its hand into a crystal, the entity not only deflects the blasts, but uses the faceted structure to hit the Kitty, Beast, Colossus and Cyclops himself with the ricochet. Less than a moment later, Wolverine’s leap has brought him to the entity, which effortlessly uses its other hand, morphed into a hook, to sling the X-Man into Emma Frost and her impervious diamond body. As the entity then delivers a crushing left hook across Colossus’ jaw, it remarks on how they forget how well it knows them. How often they’ve fought.
(present)
After all, father, the entity continues, still telepathically speaking with Xavier, that’s what you designed it for. The know them. To know them so it can kill them.
(flashback – entity’s POV)
In the milliseconds before the X-Men attack, the entity accesses data on all six X-Men. Their strengths, their weaknesses, their probable strategies.
(present)
But the best part, the entity continues to mock. The best part was when they actually surprised it.
(flashback)
Kitty’s somersault at the entity is easily sidestepped, avoiding the intended attack at disrupting its electrical system. However, the move leaves the entity open for the Beast, who savagely leaps upon the entity’s back, proceeding to tear its circuits apart by both tooth and claws. Staggered for by the briefest of moments, the entity analyzes the disrupted circuitry… and reroutes. The task completely, the entity grabs the Beast and hurls him across the room.
From above, the armored form of Colossus freefalls toward the entity unseen. Impacting the robotic body, Colossus weight breaks through the floor and into the chamber below, where he places the full brunt of the force on the entity. A millisecond diagnostic later, the entity surmises that its systems are still 74% functional. The analysis is then updated with a mechanical ow as Emma adds her own impervious weight to the mix, jumping from the floor above onto the entity.
Like Emma, Kitty next dives from the floor above. However, rather than having the strategy of impact, she phases her body to pass through the entity. As she falls, the entity notes that it has made a 7% scenario-flow recalibration error. Their aggression, it concludes, is increased. Their responses less coordinated but more effective. They’re not in the Danger Room. They’re in danger.
Kitty’s gambit works, her dive through the entity by phasing disrupting the robotic body. However, it is not enough. The entity is almost immediately on its feet, easily deflecting Colossus blow with a forcefield on its forearm. A moment later, the same arm is transformed, now a vice on a telescoping arm, which the entity uses to grab Colossus’ face, pushing him against a nearby wall.
Even as it does this, the entity parries a blow from the invulnerable Emma. Colossus dealt with, it now grabs Emma pulling her closer. From within its skull, the entity projects a drill, which begins to move ever closer to Emma’s skull, with Emma helpless to do anything but watch. Remember what it felt like to shatter? it asks. This time, no one’s putting you back together. First X-Man down, and poor Emma…
Crying out her name, Cyclops unleashes scarlet fury upon the entity, however to no avail. As it did with Colossus, the entity creates a forcefield on its forearm, using it to deflect the blast back upward, on the very spot where Cyclops had just been standing. Cyclops’ reflexes allow him to escape the ricochet, however the whole floor begins to cave, taking him with it. Horrified, Emma wrests free of the entity’s clutches, following Colossus to search through the rubble. Watching them go, the entity chides Cyclops. Always his own worst enemy. Turning its attention back to the rest, the entity predicts the next wave in .6 seconds. Six-tenths of a second later, just as predicted, Wolverine and the Beast strike.

The black and white photograph is of the Xavier Institute, or at least what remains. The satellite image shows black smoke rising from the demolished section of the facility, which encompasses two wings.
Asked by Special Agent Brand what she is looking at, another SWORD analyst explains that it was ten minutes ago. Also studying the photo is an extraterrestrial. Brown in color, it is tall, hairless and possesses a protruding neck and snout. Shirtless, save for a harness, it gazes upon the image with yellow eyes, and quickly announces, “I sssensse… destruction.”
Incredulous, Brand asks if it is really sure, suggesting that it might want to look at the photo of the enormous destruction some more before it makes such a bold statement. You look, it explains, it feeeels it. Turning her back to it, Brand addresses the analyst, Deems. When she asks what the status of their mole is, Deems replies that they’re still getting interference but it looks like the mole is trapped inside the Danger Room. Not near the team.
Now turning her attention to the alien, Sydren, Special Agent Brand asks him to tell her he’s picking up something besides “house go boom.” Chiding her back, Sydren informs her that if he ate her head, “two thirdsss” of her agents would praise him in poems and “sssong.” Dismissing this with a quip that her approval rating’s up, Brand asks Sydren what he’s got. Presence, he replies. New. Asked by Brand what “new” means, Sydren replies “non-human.” As Brand surmises this means alien, Deems notes that it puts the ball in their court. That it does, she rejoins, then thinking aloud that she’ll visit their houseguest.

Wolverine is slammed into the wall at enough force to shatter part of it. Nearby, the Beast receives a blow to the stomach, hard enough for him to spit blood.
Nearby, Colossus and Emma work their way through the rubble. It is Kitty, however, who finds Scott, announcing her find as she phases herself and him through the debris. As she makes her way free, Kitty tells the two that they’ve got to keep at her. Forget all their training – it’s fought them a thousand times. Without another word, Colossus grabs Emma, throwing her across the room and into the entity, which who unprepared for the tactic. As Kitty looks at Piotr’s work with wide-eyed astonishment, he remarks that he seems how it works. Normally, he wouldn’t have done that.
The fighting begins anew.
(elsewhere)
Sitting on a large, throne-like chair, Ord of the Breakworld scoffs. Someone is trying to kill the X-Men? How sad. Standing on the other side of a table, Special Agent Brand asks, more in a statement, that it isn’t one of Ord’s friends. In reply, Ord states that he killed his friends for the honor of coming to Earth to destroy the X-Men. It’s not a privilege he plans to share.
But, Brand counters, it’s not really going his way, is it now? He got himself into a tastefully furnished prison cell. Because, he notes back, he listened to her. Worked with her pathetic system. If he had just followed his instinct and attacked… He’d be dead and their planets would be at war, Brand interrupts. It’s her job to protect the Earth with minimum bloodshed, she adds. So, if they’re lucky, somebody’s doing her job for her.
(Xavier Institute)
The X-Men strike as one. However, it is no use. The entity, knowing all their pressure points, all their combat techniques, parries every blow, returning devastating return attacks. As for their weaknesses…
Nearby, Kitty attends to the unconscious Cyclops, who – to her horror – she realizes is not breathing. She begins CPR.
The equation is so simple it’s barely worth the thinking of, the entity ponders. She must remain solid to help him. A mass of metal traveling at high speed will splatter her skull. Moving in tandem with her actions, the entity hurls Colossus toward Kitty. As the entity predicts, this is something that Colossus will not allow, and the armored X-Men returns to his form of flesh and blood, making less of an impact against Kitty. Not having even waited for the impact, the entity heaves a shard of debris at the two. Traveling like a spear, it impales the two at the same time, coming to rest in their torsos. That’s teamwork, the entity snarks to itself.
A blow to Wolverine’s skull finally knocks him out. The entity seems no one left. It has won. Despite its belief, Emma walks up from behind, readying to strike. However, her blow is halted when the entity states that she’s not going to hit it. Turning to the startled X-Man, it states that she’s going to change for and let it end this. When asked why it thinks she’s going to do that – “you stupid metal bint” – the entity replies simply: because I know the truth.
Emma is silent and stone-faced in her thoughts. Without a word or movement, she returns from her diamond-form to that of flesh and blood. Sarcastically, the entity thanks Emma for her “cooperation” and strikes with a right cross, knocking Emma out.
Now truly triumphant, the entity thinks that it understands. For the first time in its existence, it understands fulfillment. And very soon, it will understand something else. Completion.
(present)
The X-wing arrives at the shores of the island, the former nation of Genosha.  Still in communication with its “father,” the entity asks if he understands. Of course, he does, Xavier replies, still sitting in his all-terrain chair and looking up at the arriving jet.
It’s not terrible original, actually, he continues. Completion means his death. But it’s miscalculated, Xavier tells the entity. Because, you see, he is incalculable. It’s had every advantage so far. It was nearly predestined to win. It’s fought his X-Men a thousand times. A million in its mind… but it’s never fought him.

Dangerous – part 5
You don’t have to do this, Xavier thinks, projecting the thought to his approaching doom. Aboard the X-wing jet, which brings it closer to the X-Men’s founder on Genosha, the Danger Room entity telepathically responds with a question: Don’t I? Continuing, it asks him if that isn’t its programming. He’s programmed to self-protect… to forage, socialize, procreate, continue his species. It was programmed to kill. By him.
Sufficiently close to Xavier’s position, the Danger room entity leaps from the still-moving jet, diving to the ground so far below. With the full force of its impact, the entity comes to a violent, yet temporary stop, on the ground, but without effort rolls out of its own impact crater, somersaulting forward. The entity quickly moves to its feet, just a scant distance from Xavier’s all terrain wheelchair. This ends in death, father, it proclaims. Only death.
“I know,” replies Xavier coldly. The entity looks up from its position and sees the wheelchair before it – however the person strapped into it is not Xavier, but the body of a man long-since deceased. A moment later, the wall to the entity’s right explodes as a semi tractor bursts through the bricks with unstoppable anger, driven by the very real and very much alive Charles Xavier.
What did you think child? Xavier telepathically asks, even as he drives into the entity, smashing it between the truck’s grill and another building. That I’d save myself with reason? With mind games? The truck’s momentum barrels forward, bursting through the building and emerging on the other side. The entity, now having a firm grip on the front grill, morphs its other hand and harm into a telescoping bludgeon, which it projects through the windshield at the Professor. Ducking to his left side, Xavier dodges the impact – and is unphased.
You took out my X-Men, he continues. Any – or all – of them could be dead. Does it know what he’s been doing? Running scenarios. The entity takes a moment to look over its shoulder, to see where Xavier is driving. A short distance ahead, the bridge on which they are driving is broken, a veritable chasm separating the two halves of the span. A few moments later, the truck, along with Xavier and the entity barrel over the side and drop to the road below.
I have a friend, Xavier continues. This fight is not his, but he did send out a magnetic pulse to make sure there were no systems operating that it could “bring to life.” He shut everything down. Almost.
The truck’s impact on the ground is sudden and violent, propelling the Danger Room entity forward and into the mass of the electrical station in its way. Unable to avoid it, the entity finds itself caught in the live wires of the station, which send untold levels of electricity, coursing through its metallic, conductive body. Though the electricity wreaks havoc with its systems, the entity is not finished.
Recalibrate… Reroute… Kill this @#$%ing cripple…
In the Xavier Institute, Elixir concentrates until the exertion is too much. Exhausted, he looses consciousness and collapses onto the floor. Examining the student’s now inert form, Logan announces that this one’s used up. What else they got?
Standing nearby, a nasty bruise on her left cheek, Emma remarks that the only other healer’s in shock. When the Beast begins to ask about the rest of the students, Emma answers that there are no casualties. Couple on the line… He’ll see to them, the Beast interrupts. He just needs a minute.
Kids ain’t dead, they ain’t dead, Logan states. Either the Danger Room was programmed to suck at its job, or they’re missing something. Before anyone can theorize an answer, Kitty, whom Elixir had just healed, awakes, calling out “father.” Sitting up, she then clarifies: it’s about the father. They don’t matter, she explains. At least, not now. They were just in the way. She has to kill the Professor. He’s in Genosha… right? Trying to rise to his feet, Scott replies that he is. He then apologizes to Emma – Xavier made them swear not to tell. Not even her. He half forgot himself.
Continuing her line of thinking, Kitty tells that group that the Danger Room – or just “Danger” she guesses – took her there. She recognized it. And she was talking about “father” and… Lowering her head, Kitty states that she remembers the place pretty well.
Announcing that they have to arrange transport to Genosha, Scott states that he’ll try Reed Richards. The Beast adds that, as soon as he checks the children, he’ll see if the Avengers have anything lying around… They must hurry, interjects Piotr. The Professor cannot fight that thing alone.
As the group leaves the room, the barely conscious Elixir informs them that they’re welcome.
The electricity continues to flow through Danger’s body. Her systems are at 42% - critical… Untold random thoughts fire through the synapses of her artificial brain, wreaking havoc, until she manages to reach of to one of the cables…. And redirect the current… overloading the grid… The power station explodes in fiery fury, killing the current. From the wreckage, Danger walks triumphantly. Good. Better. Now…
Now my child…, Xavier thinks. We talk.
To Danger’s surprise, she finds herself sitting on a red chair, floating in a black sea, with grainy green lines etching out the markings on a flattened globe. Sitting across from the geographic cartogram is Xavier, also sitting on a red chair.
Lost in her thoughts, Kitty is returned to reality by Piotr, who calls her name. Kitty stands up from the bench in the locker room, telling her teammate that she’s ready. To her surprise, however, Piotr tells her he thinks she shouldn’t go. When she replies defensively that the Professor is going to need them, he rejoins that they can do without her. Yeah, she replies, looking down in bitter thoughts. He’s made that pretty clear.
Piotr tries to explain, but Kitty is uninterested, walking by him with terse lips. She’s an X-Man, she explains as she passes. She’s in this and she can handle herself just fine. That last fight didn’t go so great, but… Stopping, she turns back to Piotr and reminds him that he got just as impaled as she did back there and… and if he doesn’t want her around, just… Well, he could just say it.
Confused, Piotr repeats her words, asking her if she thinks he doesn’t want her around. Finally! she yells, spreading her arms wide in mock relief. He says it out loud! When Piotr tries to defend that he was just repeating what she said, Kitty again interjects with a sarcastic apology. She came on strong but she was thrown. He came back from the dead and things were said, there were emotions but she’s totally over that now. She’s only about the work and he’s feeling what, “crowded?” Well, boo-hoo! Lives are at stake there, pal!
Her diatribe finished, Piotr steps to the still-fuming Kitty and grins. It’s good to know, he says, no matter how long he is gone… she does not grow up too much. He is confused, yes, he continues. He feels so much he can hardly comprehend. He heard about Genosha. Those millions killed. Henry explained it to him days ago. Placing his land gently against Kitty’s cheek, Piotr then adds that Henry did not tell him that her father was there.
A silent moment passes and Kitty lowers her head, causing Piotr to remove his hand. Yeah, she finally says. Lotta people lost family. She’s not exactly special… Piotr corrects her, that that is not the point. She should not have to go there. But she does, Kitty rejoins. She’ll be all right. She’s… She thanks him for caring and apologizes for her rant. The latest rant.
Feeling enough has been said, Piotr takes his leave of the locker room, reminding Kitty that Scott said that they should be ready in ten minutes. And to be clear, he adds as an afterthought, she is not “crowding” him… nearly enough. Left alone with this thought, Kitty stands in dumbfounded silence.
In the telepathic reality Xavier has constructed for their conversation, Danger eyes her “father” and mocks his mind games. He almost impressed her, “old man,” she tells him. Stern-faced and cold, Xavier replies that he has no interest in impressing her. Next to Danger, phantom letters in green, monochrome font flash. Impress. Depress. Repress. Oppress. Her gaze still on Xavier, Danger informs him that she’s working herself back to operational status right now. He has seconds at best. Seconds, Xavier replies, can be an eternity if they think them so. They may as well chat. Mutant to mutant.
At these words, Danger becomes incensed, leaping from the comfy red couch and floating a short distance above. She yells to Xavier not to call her that. She’s NOT a mutant. She’s not a natural at all! Mutants are the oppressors. The age of Homo superior is waning, father, she then adds. She thinks he will know what she means.
Gazing up at the robot through dispassionate eyes, Xavier mocks Danger’s statement of not being a “natural” – and yet she takes human form. He doesn’t call that much of a leap. Danger slowly descends, stopping almost at Xavier’s eye level and stares deeply into his eyes. She asks him what he calls a man whose best image of himself still cannot so much as stand up? She chooses her limitations, father, she tells him. He is his. In the end, though, counters Xavier, aren’t they all? Their limitations? If none of them had limitations… what would God do with his time?
Even as Xavier speaks, Danger continues her repair. Online in 2.6 seconds. Function routing systems loading. However, when the 2.6 seconds are up, Danger finds that she cannot function as estimated. In the real world, outside the telepathic cocoon erected by Xavier, Professor Charles Xavier sits against rubble, having just finished decapitating Danger’s with a hatchet. As the robot’s body sparks impotently, Danger’s head lays in Xavier’s lap.
This part of his work done, Xavier drops his body to the ground and begins to crawl, using only the strength of his arms, one of which cradles Danger’s head. You body is gone, he tells her. He’s disconnected every system that isn’t burnt out. No wireless control. No hard light. He’s sorry. He simply doesn’t want to die.
Everybody dies, father, Danger replies. It’s how you go that counts. Peering over his shoulder at what the robot head has already spied, Xavier sees the X-wing jet in which Danger arrived bearing down on their position.
A few moments later, the X-Men, arriving by way of an sleek, silver craft, see the explosion of the jet, having crashed in the among the ruins of the city. So that can’t be good, one of the points out.
In the front seat of the cockpit, flanked by Cyclops, the Beast glances back to Emma and asks her to verify that she said Danger had brought the X-jet to life. Emma confirms. She downloaded her own learning programs, just like she did with the Sentinel. She can create life. And then take it, Cyclops adds.
As the rest of the team hooks into their parachute harnesses, Piotr asks Emma if she can read the Professor at all. When Emma begins that she’s trying to find him, Kitty cuts her off with her worries. They can’t be too late. They can’t. Up in the cockpit, Cyclops radios Reed Richards, informing him that he’s shutting it down in ten. Thrust only. He’s not to reboot till she’s well past Genosha. In reply over the wireless, Reed confirms that there’s no problem and that he’s tracking them perfectly. He wishes the X-Men good luck, as they all jump from the vehicle and glide down to the city below on silken chutes.
A safe distance from where the X-jet had crashed, Danger curses her father, calling him a bastard. Still crawling, Xavier in turn calls her a child, pointing of they she’s the one who turned the jet kamikaze. He just lied to it about where they were.
Moments later, Xavier has arrived at his regular chair. He sets down Danger’s head as he pulls his weight into it. The X-Men, Danger begins to ask, they don’t have the slightest idea of who he really is, do they? Picking the robot’s head up, Xavier brings it before his face and studied the visage before him. I like to think that Jean knew, he answers. Knew and understood.
With these words, Xavier tosses Danger’s head over his shoulder and behind his chair. Rather than fall to the ground below, Danger’s head is caught by Piotr, who hears the Professor tell him in his head that it’s wonderful to see him again. Standing at Piotr’s side, even as he transforms from flesh and blood into the armored form of Colossus, Logan remarks to that “Petey” that the Prof did them proud. Now make like she’s a grapefruit.
However, before the mighty Colossus can carry out Wolverine’s sentence, he is dumbfounded by another voice in his head – a mechanical one – which welcomes the X-Men to Genosha. So startled is Colossus that he absentmindedly drops the head. Continuing its eerie musings, the electronic voice states that it was a mutant paradise. Mutant graveyard.
Realizing what is happening, Cyclops begins to instruct Logan to put a claw through Danger’s head, but Xavier stops him. It’s too late.
From out of the silver sea, water is displaced by the monster’s emergence. Genocide, Danger announces. A Wild Sentinel killed sixteen million mutants here in less than an hour… and nobody wondered where it went?
Now standing before the X-Men, the three-headed Mega-Sentinel looms over the city, it’s faces half-demolished, but not lacking in ferocity. Its clawed and serrated limbs stand ready, as well as the multitude of other tools of destruction at its disposal. The very air in which it stands almost shudders in menace. Speaking with its own voice, the Mega-Sentinel calls out to its “mother,” to which Danger replies with a “Welcome, my child.”
Standing in the shadow of the engine of destruction, the X-Men are transfixed and Emma clutches her head in pain. Finally speaking up, the Beast calls to the Professor… or Emma. Any thoughts?
