'When the Purifiers attacked, they told us to protect the humans – but not the plants. No one cared about them. Especially not the potted ones' Lin Li a.k.a. Nature Girl laments as she sits on a rock inside the seal enclosure at the Central Park Zoo. A large brown seal sits next to her and puts its nose to her face as she remarks that so many trees were shot that day, and she could smell their burnt wood for hours.
The seal whines, when suddenly, a voice exclaims 'Holy cow, Lin! You can talk?!' Eye-Boy a.k.a. Trevor Hawkins asks as he leans on the barrier surrounding the enclosure, while Nathaniel Carver stands nearby, and several civilians passing by look oddly into the enclosure. Lin stands up and starts to walk across the rocks back to the edge of the enclosure as Eye-Boy asks her why she never told him she could talk. 'Because... I never had anything to say to you' Lin replies. '... oh' Eye-Boy utters, rejected, while the seal starts to bark, as if it was laughing. Nathaniel informs “Trev” that, for future reference, he should never assume an Asian girl is mute. 'Got it' Eye-Boy replies.
Nature Girl leaps over the edge of the enclosure back onto the public walkways as Eye-Boy tells her that he and Nathaniel were just walking around, and asks if she would like to join them. 'Why?' Lin asks without looking at them. Nathaniel quietly tells Trev to relax, and suddenly, with the wooshing of the wind through the trees, Nature Girl turns from the path and walks onto a garden where some large trees are planted. Eye-Boy and Nathaniel follow her, as Eye-Boy tells her that he thought that maybe she could introduce them to some cool red pandas. 'God, this is awful' Nathaniel mutters, before Nature Girl announces that someone is in danger. Nathaniel is confused, 'Huh?' he remarks, while Eye-Boy asks Lin how she knows that. 'The trees' Lin replies. Her hand is against one of the trees as she reports that the trees say there has been an attack, inside the park.
The three young mutants run through Central Park and come to a narrow path with a small tunnel, where a body is strewn across the ground. 'Hey! Are you okay?' Eye-Boy asks as he and Nathaniel crouch down beside the motionless figure. Lin stands over the body, but as Trevor rolls the body onto its back, he and Nathaniel look shocked at the victim's appearance. Trevor calms down and tells Nathaniel that it is okay, that it is just Face, and that he is one of them. Trevor puts his ear to Face's chest and reports that he is alive, just unconscious. 'You guys call him “Face” even though he doesn't have one?' Nathaniel asks. Eye-Boy explains that his power comes out of his face, although that is also why he doesn't have one. Eye-Boy asks Lin if the trees told her who did this, and she tells him that they did not. 'Can your fir friends at least tell us what they looked like?' Lin replies that to trees, all humans look the same – dangerous.
At the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, Jono Starsmore a.k.a. Chamber is walking along the running track, when Roxy Washington a.k.a. Bling calls out to him. He stops and waits for her to catch up to him. When he sees that Bling is wearing workout clothes, he tells her that he didn't know she was a runner. Bling rests her hands on her legs as she catches her breath and explains that she just started, but that she is already up  to ten miles. 'Reminds me of someone I used to know' Jono tells her. 'Huh?' Bling asks. 'Nothing' Jono replies, before asking Bling what she needed. Bling tells him that she wanted to know if there was any way she could join his class. 'My class?' Jono asks. 'If I stay with Jubilee – in the class that's only ever gonna cheer from the sidelines – I'm never going to be one of the X-Men' Bling explains. Jono looks at Roxy and tells her that he didn't know that was so important to her. 'I mean, that's the whole point of being here, isn't it?' Roxy declares. She tells Chamber that Jubilee is great and is an amazing mentor, but she thinks his class would be a better fit for her. Chamber reminds Roxy that she was chosen for Jubilee's class for a reason, and tells her that, for now, that is where she has to be.
Quentin Quire scowls as he sits on one end of the sofa in the rec room, while Benjamin Deeds a.k.a. Morph and Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie sit next to him, playing a video game. 'Ha! You call that a front flip?!' Pixie exclaims. Bling enters the room and strides past the others, walking right in front of the television. They don't say anything to her, just peer around her so they can continue playing their game. 'How did you block that?' Benjamin asks. 'Unlike you, I have skills!' Pixie grins. Quentin watches Bling, before turning back to the others. 'Wait, wait – no!' Benjamin exclaims. 'Suck my Welsh rarebits, Deeds!' Pixie shouts as her fingers move furiously over the controller. 'Dammit, Megan!' Benjamin mutters. Pixie leans back on the sofa as she calls out 'What the – no, no, no! I didn't do that!' She asks why her buttons are all mashed in, as Benjamin exclaims 'Goooooal!' and Quentin grins wickedly.
'Quire! You did this, didn't you?' Pixie asks, jumping to her feet and pointing at Quentin, who tells her that he has no idea what she is buzzing on about. Holding out her controller, Pixie tells Quentin that he psychically mashed all her buttons so Benjamin could win. 'First, I've got zero interest in your buttons. Second, this unsportsmanlike conduct is very unbecoming of a future X-Man' Quentin tells Pixie, unimpressed.
'Hey, guys – we could use a little help here' Eye-Boy calls out as he enters the rec room from a door that leads outside. Nathaniel and Nature Girl are with him, while Face is draped over the back of a large deer.
Soon, Face is in a bed in the infirmary, while Danielle Moonstar checks his vitals, Chamber asks her how Face is. Lin, Trevor, Quentin, Benjamin and Nathaniel stand a few feet away, with Jubilee, who holds her son, Shogo. Moonstar reports that Face is unconscious and weak, but that she doesn't see a death glow. She adds that they will still need to run some tests, but Face should be okay.
'You didn't see anything?' Jubilee asks her students. Nathaniel informs her that Face was alone by the time they got there. Trevor explains that they only reason they even knew to look for him was because Lin heard something about an attack from some trees. 'Trees like to gossip' Lin reveals. Trevor suggests to Quentin that he could scan Face's memories and tell them what happened. 'He's blind, deaf and mute. I'd get as much out of his pitch-black mindscape as I get talking to you. Nothing' Quentin declares.
Quentin then remarks 'But you know who could pain you a picture – this creeper' and points at Nathaniel, explaining that he read Nathaniel's mind after he used his powers on him, and informs the others that Nathaniel took a full-on third-party POV tour of his memories. 'You see more detail in a person's memory than they do? How does that make sense?' Benjamin asks. Quentin grins as he tells Benji not to hurt himself over-thinking. 'Most powers don't' he adds. Nathaniel tells everyone that it doesn't matter, because he is not doing it. 'You all may be okay with invading everyone's brains without their permission, but I'm not. I'm not touching anyone!' he exclaims. Nature Girl stands nearby with her arms folded and Jubilee frowns at Quentin as he tells him 'Of course not. Why would you? It's not like learning how to control your power is the entire reason you're here!' 'Quentin!' Jubilee snaps. She announces that Nathaniel doesn't have to do anything he doesn't wanna do. 'He's here to work at his pace, not yours' she points out. 'Pfft. If at all' Quentin mutters, throwing a hand into the air and walking away from the others.
Shortly, Jubilee, with Shogo, Moonstar and Chamber meet with Kitty Pryde in her office. Moonstar informs her that they have done a head count and all students are accounted for. Kitty thanks Dani, and tells the others that she hates this, but that until they know what has happened, they may have to enact a curfew. Kitty turns to Chamber and tells him that since Face is his student, she assumes he will be going out to investigate. 'Yes, with Lee' Chamber replies, when suddenly, Shogo sneezes. Jubilee points out that it sounds like Shogo is catching a cold, so she better not go out. Dani offers to go with Jono, and he tells her that is fine with him. Kitty instructs them to let her know what they find, and as Moonstar and Chamber leave Kitty's office, Chamber turns to Jubilee and suggests to her that she might want to have a talk with Roxy, as something is not right there.
'How does this place have so many stairs and exactly zero ramps – when it's named after a guy in a wheelchair?' Nathaniel asks as he helps Andre the janitor carry a bucket of water up some steps. Benjamin sees them and tells Nathaniel that he has been looking for him everywhere, before informing him that Face finally woke up. 'And?' Nathaniel asks. Andre thanks Nathaniel as they set the bucket of water down in the corridor, and Nathaniel tells him that it was no problem, and reminds him that tomorrow morning he is showing him how to play Enchantment: The Conjuring. 'Okay' Andre replies. Nathaniel points a finger at Benjamin and declares 'This is the part where you convince me to use my powers on Face, right?' to which the surprised Benjamin tells Nathaniel that he thought he would want to know that Face is doing better. 'Since you found him and all' Benjamin adds. 'Dammit. I'm such an ass' Nathaniel mutters, putting a hand on his face. Benjamin tells him not to worry about it, that it is cool. 'And I get it. The first few weeks here suck the hardest' he remarks.
Benjamin continues, revealing to Nathaniel that he got kicked through the mud, had his cover blown inside a SHIELD compound and ran from dinosaurs and aliens. 'Is this a school or a death wish?' Nathaniel gasps. 'It's kinda hard to tell sometimes' Benjamin tells Nathaniel, adding that it gets easier – or you get used to it. Benjamin adds that even guys like Andre adjust, and points out that Andre is human. 'Huh? No, he's not. Andre's a mutant' Nathaniel reveals. He remembers images that flashed through his mind when they touched – Andre battling Wolverine, and events that happened afterwards. Nathaniel reveals that Andre was a street kind without any training who never fully understood his telekinetic powers, or how they affected other people, and it got him lobotomized. Andre washes the floor, seemingly oblivious to the conversation going on around him.
Nathaniel reveals that seeing Andre's past, feeling his brain getting scrambled, that is why he stayed, so hr could learn how to protect himself. He admits that he is a jerk for judging a book by its cover, especially when he doesn't have one, but it looks like he will be a hell of a dark read. 'Hold up. You actually feel the memories?' Benjamin asks. Nathaniel explains that it is more like experiencing them, and that it stops when he breaks contact – but he doesn't forget. 'So if you touch Face...' Benjamin begins. 'I'd get a lot more out of it than just seeing who attacked him' Nathaniel confirms. Benjamin assures Nathaniel that it is okay, that they will find another way. 'Or they will, since we've been benched' he adds. 'What if they don't? And someone else gets hurt?' Nathaniel suggests. Benjamin tells him that it wouldn't be his fault. 'Wouldn't it, though?' Nathaniel asks. He leans against a wall and folds his arms as he declares 'I hate his smug face and “real men wear pink” mowhawk, but...Quentin was right'. He remarks that if he isn't willing to use his powers now, to actually help someone – when will he?
Soon, Quentin, Benjamin, Roxy and Lin stand behind Nathaniel as he removes a glove and asks 'And he's sure that this is what he wants?' Trevor is sitting at Face's side. Face taps his fingers on Trevor's hand and Trevor announces “Yes”. 'And he wants us to “find the -” uh...several very creative expletives “that did this”' Trevor reports. 'Preferably before I stab myself in the eye outta boredom' Quentin mutters. 'Yeah, well, hopefully I won't do the same out of horror' Nathan remarks as he stands next to Face. 'If I'm lucky. Which I'm not...' Nathaniel adds as he puts his hand to Face's wrist.
Images flash through Nathaniel’s mind, firstly of Face as a baby, kidnapped with several others, where a soldier declared that they would be weapons, their positive X-gene made them the best chance for a solution to the mutant problem. Nathaniel sees Face's mutant power activate, then scientists attach a firing mechanism to his face, before he was used in the soldiers’ war against the New Mutants, followed by Karma teaching him, then leaving him at the school, as she thought it was the best place for him to be. Face looked dejected when Karma left him at the school, and finally, several students watched him, and one of the students revealed that she wasn't sure where, but that she sees him go for a walk every day – alone. Nathaniel sees Face on his walk, a strange black mass appears behind Face, then overwhelmed him. Face fell to the ground, while the mysterious black mass disappeared into the cracks within the pavement.
'WHOA' Nathaniel utters, stepping backwards away from Face. Benjamin asks him if he is okay, to which Nathaniel replies that he doesn't know, but thinks so. 'But Face...he...' Nathaniel utters, before leaning back into Face and giving him a hug. Face taps on Nathaniel's back with his fingers, and Nathaniel smiles, 'No, thank you' he tells Face. 'Now you know, Nathaniel...if you could just get to the part where you tell us what you saw, the rest of us could get on with our lives' an exasperated Quentin mutters. The six young mutants gather together, and Nathaniel announces that whatever it was, it wasn't human, and that it went underground. 'What, you mean, like, into the sewers?' Trevor asks. 'Caves' Lin declares. 'There are caves under Central Park?' Benjamin asks.
Trevor heads to the door and informs the others that he will let Jubilee know, but Roxy steps in front of him and tells him not to. 'You tell her and we'll get left behind' Roxy points out. Nathaniel agrees, and suggests to the others that they do this themselves. 'I'm the one who saw it and lived it' he reminds the others, announcing that there is no way he is not going. 'Maybe you don't suck as much as I thought' Quentin tells Nathaniel, while Benjamin reminds him that he just said it wasn’t even human. Roxy puts an arm around Nathaniel and tells Benjamin that he will be fine, that she and Quentin will watch his back. Trevor grins and tells the others that if they are going to break out after curfew, they will need him – to see all the security blind spots and stuff. 'And I enjoy caves' Lin reveals. 'That settles it. Benji – you're in!' Quentin declares, pointing at Benjamin. 'What? I -' Benjamin begins. 'Don't wanna be left behind. We know' Quentin jokes.
Soon, under the glow of the moon, the young mutants – Quentin, wearing his suit, Bling, wearing her own white and brown version of the students' X-Men costume, Nature Girl wearing her school uniform, Benjamin Deeds in his blue and orange X-Men costume, Nathaniel wearing an X-jacket with a large yellow “X” across it, and Eye-Boy, wearing large yellow knee pads, gloves and a yellow harness similar to what Cyclops used to wear over his blue clothes – step off the Xavier Institute grounds and out into Central Park, and Quentin exclaims 'All right, losers. Let's get this #$%& show on the road!'

Untitled
'Are we there yet?' complains Quentin Quire as he follows his teammates through the darkened Central Park, New York City. Leading the way, Nathaniel Carver a.k.a. Hindsight turns back to Quentin, and frowning, tells him to go ahead and read his mind. 'That's not exactly how castration works, Nathaniel, but points for style' Quentin smirks. Roxy Washington a.k.a. Bling turns to Quentin, and the moonlight reflects off of her and causes Quentin to shield his eyes. 'We're supposed to be the hunters, not the hunted. Dim the lights' Quentin exclaims. Roxy frowns and pulls her hood up over her head, while remembering how, a few years ago, she woke up in the middle of the night, freezing. She tried rubbing her arms to warm up, but that didn't help – because her skin wasn't skin anymore – and it hasn't been since.
'This is is' Nathaniel calls out to the others, motioning to the underside of a bridge, he reports that whoever attacked Face went down a tunnel that starts under those rocks. Benjamin Deeds a.k.a. Morph looks under the bridge, while Nature Girl a.k.a. Lin Li and Eye-Boy a.k.a Trevor Hawkins stand near Nathaniel. They all move under the bridge, and as Quentin uses his psychic powers to raise the bricks in the ground, revealing the staircase down into a darkened tunnel, Eye-Boy stares down and announces that this is kind of feeling like the beginning of a horror movie. 'One where, plot twist, virgins like you die first' Quentin jokes. He then shines the light from his phone into the tunnel and mutters that he can't believe he is about to spelunk the bowels of Central Park, and in wool. Bling tells him to quit whining, and as she leads the way down thre staircase, points out that now he has an excuse to buy another suit. 'Like I needed one' Quentin retorts.
Back at the Xavier Institute, Jubilee and Dani Moonstar are sitting on a sofa in Jubilee's quarters. As she squeezes blood into a wine glass while her son, Shogo, sleeps beside her, Jubilee tells Dani that she is sorry about the mess. Dani looks at the toys scattered across the floor and food and drink strewn across the coffee table and tells Jubilee not to worry about it. 'It's not... that bad' she remarks. Jubilee explains that after wrangling teenagers and chasing after a toddler all day, she only has enough energy to wash dishes or watch “Drag Race”. 'And because booze does exactly zero for me since I vamped out... drag queens are my drug of choice' Jubilee grins. Dani asks Jubilee if she had a rough time with her class. 'Actually... they've been surprisingly good' Jubilee replies, sipping the blood. She smiles and tells Dani that it is like they are starting to trust her, like when she says something, it is like they are actually listening. 'Even Quentin! Sorta. Kinda'.
Jubilee adds that the point is, they are good kids, and not one of them complained about Kitty's curfew. 'Which is crazy, cause, we would've gone nuts, yanno? Like student me totally would've just snuck out – by now -'. Jubilee realizes what she has just said, and she and Dani both looks concerned. 'CRAAAAAP!' Jubilee exclaims as she holds Shogo and enters Quentin and Benjamin's room. 'Don't freak out just yet' Dani tells her. They look around the room, Quentin's four-post bed on one side, a fountain in the middle of the room and Benjamin's single bed against the other wall, Jubilee remarks 'Just because Quentin and Benjamin snuck out doesn't mean -', '- Roxy and Lin are gone -' Jubilee adds as they enter Roxy and Lin's room. Lin's bed is barely visible, surrounded by trees and shrubs, while weights are scattered around Roxy's bed.
'- And of course Nathaniel and Trevor went with them. Because WHY WOULDN'T THEY WANNA GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK?' Jubilee shouts as she and Dani stand in the boys' rather non-descript room. Dani tells Jubilee to go, and to leave Shogo with her. Jubilee hands Shogo to Dani, 'Are you sure, he's -' Jubilee begins, but Dani tells her to shut up and go find her kids.
At that moment, the kids are sneaking through the catacombs between Central Park, illuminated by the lights glowing from Quentin and Nathaniel's cellphones. 'Did you guys see that?' Eye-Boy asks nervously. 'Yeah, the roaches are huge' Bling mutters as dozens or roaches and several rats scamper across the ground. 'Screw the roaches, the rats are beasts! I think I saw one run off with a wallet!' Nathaniel exclaims. Eye-Boy asks Nature Girl if she can't just ask the rats where Face's attacker is, but Nature Girl frowns and announces that she can't, as rats always want something in return. 'Nathaniel' a voice calls out, and Nathaniel comes to a stop, while the others walk on ahead. Benjamin sees Nathaniel has stopped, and asks him what is wrong. 'Hey, Nathaniel' the voice calls. 'You didn't hear that?' Nathaniel asks.
'Hear what?' Eye-Boy asks as he and the others come to a stop. Nathaniel tells the others that he could swear someone called out his name. 'Calm down, drama queen. It's me, Phoebe' the psychic  tells him. 'Dammit, Phoebe – don't use my mind like it's a mutant cell phone' Nathaniel replies. 'What good is it to me otherwise?' Phoebe asks as she stands outside the Xavier Institute, with Jubilee standing nearby. Phoebe turns to Jubilee and reports that she got through to Nathaniel, and that he is whininh, so they can't be in that much danger. 'Where are they?' Jubilee asks. Phoebe tells her that she is still working on it, and announces that she guesses they are somewhere in Central Park. 'Are you friggin' kidding me? They're running around Central Park? At night?' Jubilee exclaims. 'Don't they know how dangerous that is? I'm gonna kill 'em!' she snaps.
Back in the tunnels, 'If Phoebe's in Nathaniel's head, then -' Bling begins. 'She's trying to pinpoint our location for Jubilee, blah blah blah' Quentin mutters, announcing that he is on it, he uses his psychic power to project various psi-hats on his teammates, preventing Phoebe from entering their minds. 'Yes, we're totally fine – Phoebe? Phoebe?' Nathaniel calls out, the connection lost. He turns to Quentin and asks him what is with the psi-tin hats. Quentin explains that they are just a little something to keep Phoebe out of their heads and off their backs. Bling reminds the others that if they don't find whoever hurt Face before Jubilee finds them, then they are done. 'You know “done” is better than “dead”, right?' Benjamin frowns, folding his arms. Bling tells him that if he wants to head back with his tail between his legs, then to go for it. 'I get that you feel like you've got something to prove, Rox, but -' Benjamin begins, which causes Bling to move closer to him, and pointing a finger, she tells him 'You don't get $%^&, Benjamin. I don't belong in this class!'
'Guys?' Eye-Boy calls out, as he and Nature Girl look at something nearby. No one pays attention to him, as Bling tells Benjamin that he might be cool with failing as a mutant and falling back into a life amongst humans, but she isn't. 'Ohmygod – that rat was totally carrying a human pinky with a ring on it!' Eye-Boy calls out. Bling turns to him and asks Eye-Boy if he can't chill for just two seconds. 'Roxy! Behind you!' Eye-Boy exclaims, pointing to a  shadow that seeps from the cavern walls and rises behind Bling. 'Monet!' Eye-Boy shouts as Monet St Croix in her M-Plate guise looms over Bling, the palms of her hands open, revealing teeth with long tendrils that lash about, trying to touch the shocked Bling.
Bling can't move, it is like her body is frozen, but her bones are on fire, her insides liquefying, her energy drained out of her. She knows this feeling – and this is not Monet. 'Em... Emplate!' Bling utters as M-Plate's hands latch onto her head. 'It's been far too long, Roxy. I've missed the taste of you' Emplate, through Monet, snarls. 'I should've known we were looking for an old who was literally sucking the life out of a younger generation. Typical' Quentin frowns, throwing some psychic swords towards M-Plate, who just grins and declares that children are always so impatient. 'But don't worry, you're next' she tells Quentin, diverting the psychic swords back to him, Quentin screams as one of them pierces his shoulder. Bling watches in horror, and wonders how this is happening, how did she let Emplate get her again?
Looking at his bloodied wound, Quentin complains 'Why didn't anyone tell me how much that #$%^& hurts?' while Nathaniel asks 'Who's Monet and what the hell's an Emplate!?' Benjamin informs him that Monet is an X-Man, but that she has been missing for months. 'And Emplate -' he begins, as Quentin declares 'Her creepy vampire mutant brother who's got a thing for merging with his siblings – it's why she's got Emplate's hand tongue's all up in Roxy's ears'. Quentin adds that they have to stop her before she sucks all of the marrow from Roxy's bons and replicates her powers. M-Plate grins as she sucks the marrow from Roxy, who is wide-eyed, and thinks to herself 'It's too late, Quentin. I'm sorry'. Roxy then falls to the floor, while M-Plate grins, and starts to fire small portions of crystalized rock towards the mutants. 'Why's her face lighting up like -' Nathaniel begins. 'Like Face?' Benjamin asks, while Quentin swears, as energy blasts from M-Plate towards them.
The three young men fall backwards against the cavern walls, and Quentin telepathically reaches out to Monet, telling her that he is not into hitting women, and suggests she does it for him. Unfortunately for Quentin, his psychic suggestion once again backfires and he punches himself. 'What the -' Quentin begins. 'Mental manipulation? Cute idea' M-Plate declares, suggesting she show Quentin how to properly execute it, as Quentin punches himself again. Nathaniel and Benjamin watch as suddenly, a shoe is thrown at M-Plate. While levitating the shoe, she turns towards Eye-Boy and Nature Girl and asks 'My, what big, terror-filled eyes you have. Let me guess...you threw this?' 'Would you believe me if I said “no”?' Eye-Boy asks. M-Plate lunges towards Eye-Boy, but before she can strike a blow, a chant can be heard, and there is a pink glow, as Pixie teleports into the cavern with Jubilee and Chamber.
M-Plate turns, 'Jubilee...?' she calls out, her appearance losing Bling's crystal-like look. 'Bloody hell!' Chamber gasps. 'Monet?' Jubilee calls out. She sees Monet start to reduce into a shadow, and tells her not to dare, but it's too late, as Monet vanishes. 'Dammit!' Jubilee snaps, before turning to her students and asks them if they are all in once piece. 'Think so' Benjamin tells her. 'Prude excluded' Quentin mumbles, while Nathaniel asks her how she found them. Chamber reports that it was Phoebe, that she lost them for a moment, but found them again. 'Must've been all the internalized screaming I was doing...' Nathaniel supposes. 'Wait, where's – ROXY!' Jubilee exclaims as she sees a motionless Bling on the ground, with Nature Girl and Pixie tending to her. 'Pixie, is she -?' Jubilee begins, while Nature Girl reports that Monet hurt her, and Pixie announces she is alive. Drained, but alive. Jubilee picks Roxy up and tells the others that is all that matters, and that it is time to go home.
Shortly, in the infirmary, Jubilee and Chamber stand near the bed Roxy is recovering in. Jubilee tells Roxy that she doesn't get it – sneaking out after curfew, diving headfirst into a suicide mission against someone as dangerous as Monet. 'We didn't know it was Monet' Roxy remarks. Jubilee declares that she expects this sort of thing from Quentin, but not from her, and asks her what she was thinking. 'You said that if I wanted to be an X-Man, I'd have to prove it' Roxy reminds Jubilee. 'What? No – that's not what I said' Jubilee tells her. “If you want it badly enough -” Bling quotes Jubilee, who tells her that it doesn't mean she has to go all crazy reckless on her, before asking Bling what this sudden desperation to become an X-Man is, as it was never that important to her before. Chamber puts a hand on Jubilee's shoulder and asks her to give him and Roxy a minute alone. 'Fine' Jubilee declares. Bling turns away from her as Jubilee tells her that if she won't listen to her, then to at least listen to Chamber. 'I'll see you in the morning. Rest up' Jubilee adds.
Chamber moves closer to Bling and tells her that this isn't so much about needing to be one of the X-Men, as it is about not wanting to live among humans again. 'Because of what your powers did to you, externally' Chamber adds. Tears well up in Bling's eyes, and she thinks to herself that this isn't fair. 'That's why you wanted to be in my class' Chamber reminds her. Bling thinks to herself that Benjamin, Nathaniel, Quentin and even Jubilee will never get it – they can't. 'How am I supposed to just “go back to living with humans” when I'm so clearly not one of them?' Bling asks. She sits up in the bed and remarks that if she can't be an X-Man, then what is the point? Why did she come here. 'And why'd my mutation have to leave me...like this?' Roxy asks as Chamber sits next to her and gives her a hug.
Jubilee stands in the large foyer, the remaining five of her students lined up before her, she tells them that it is not like she wouldn't have done the same thing – because she totally did, which is why she is suddenly feeling a whole lot of karmic guilt for all the premature grays she must have given Emma and Banshee. 'But seriously, guys. What happened?' Jubilee asks. Nathaniel steps forward and reports that it was his fault, that he is the one who led everyone to Monet. 'But after looked into Face's past, I just got so mad that I -' he begins, shrugging his shoulders. 'You used your powers?' Jubilee asks. Nathaniel confirms that he did, and adds that he didn't mean for Roxy or Quentin to get hurt. 'Dammit, Nathaniel. Now I don't know if I'm mad at you or just...really proud of you' Jubilee tells him, turning away. '...I'd prefer proud?' Nathaniel smirks. Benjamin puts a hand on Nathaniel's shoulder and informs Jubilee that Nathaniel wasn't the only one at fault. 'He may have led us there, but we all chose to go' he explains.
'Kill me now...' Quentin mutters, before announcing that he will pass on the gratuitous team %#&^%$. 'See you fools never' he tells them as he strides past everyone. 'Fine. I'm “mad” at all of you. But for future reference, guys, I'm really going to need you to play it smarter' Jubilee tells her team. They listen to her carefully as she tells them that she gets they are trying to figure out where they belong, but points out that it is hard to do that if you're dead.
Later, Jubilee is in her kitchen, pouring some blood and other matter into a container while telling Chamber 'The school's like one big mutant marrow food court for her. Of course, Monet – Emplate – M-Plate is going to hover and try to feed on more students. Jubilee uses a stick-mixer to blend the concoction she is making and tells Chamber that she thought their days dealing with the St Croix siblings all cross-mixing with each other were over, like, fifteen million years ago. 'How the hell did we end up back here?' she asks, frustrated. Chamber tells Jubilee that she is allowed to be depressed. 'Monet was our classmate, we go way back -' he begins. 'Depressed? Who said anything about being depressed? I'm ticked' Jubilee announces. She grits her teeth and frowns, exclaiming that Emplate-possessed or not, Monet St Croix is hunting their kids. 'I'M GONNA KICK HER ASS!'

Untitled
The Xavier Institute, New York City, where inside a communications room, Trevor Hawkins a.k.a. Eye-Boy is looking at several monitors with his many eyes, as Jubilee stands behind him, drink bottle of blood in hand. The monitors depict Kitty Pryde walking through a wall, and Genesis talking to Pixie. Chamber can be seen, as can Bling walking down a corridor, a shirtless Quentin Quire outside, sunning himself. Rockslide and the Stepford Cuckoos appear on two of the monitors, as do Glob Herman and No-Girl on another, while Anole can be seen running on another monitor. Morph and Hindsight are outside on another monitor, and a final monitor shows Nature Girl a bird resting on one hand.
'Sparrow just delivered Benjamin's blue chip to Lin – Nathaniel's crossed his legs, which signaled to Benjamin that – Roxy's about to dead drop at least one red chip in the trash...and Quentin really needs to use sunscreen on his ears 'cause they're totally gonna burn' Eye-Boy calls out. 'For real' Jubilee agrees, before asking Trevor what the tally is. Trevor reports that Roxy has got two red chips, for now, and Lin has a blue one, while Nathaniel has a red and a blue, and Benjamin and Quentin have nothing. 'You're short one chip' Jubilee points out. Trevor looks confused, to which Jubilee reminds him that there are six chips, three red, three blue, so he is short one blue. 'And no pressure, but you've got 49 seconds to find it' Jubilee adds.
Trevor throws his hands into the air and declares that he has been watching everyone so closely. 'Not everyone' Jubilee tells him, reminding him that there are more people in that quad than just his classmates. 'I was supposed to be watching the whole quad? How's that fiar?' Trevor asks. Jubilee reminds him that nor a lot about life is fair, and points out that he is too focussed on what and who he thinks he knows. She suggests that he take a deep breath and look at the whole picture. All of Trevor's many eyes go wide, as he looks at the monitors. He sees Face on one of them, and a bird carrying a mobile phone, while Transonic and Velocidad race each other, and Glob Herman turns to Sprite. 'You've got 36 seconds to tell me – who's got the blue chip?'
Trevor then narrows his eyes and wonders if his 57 eyes can't keep track of six measly chips, then how is he ever going to prove to Jubilee and everyone else that he deserves to be here – that he is useful and can be more than just sme upscale mall security guard. 'Think Trevor, think! Where is it? Who has it?' Trevor tells himself. He turns to the monitor that depicts Chamber and decides that Chamber is around way more than he expected him to be for a mentor to a different class. 'But how can I tell if he's got it?' Trevor wonders, as Chamber approaches Morph and Nature Girl, who holds a squirrel in one hand. Trevor knows that the chip is so small, so it would be easy to palm it or stash it in a pocket without leaving an impression – 'OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod' Trevor suddenly utters over and over, as both Chamber and Morph appear naked.
‘Why are Benjamin and Trevor so naked?' Eye-Boy wonders, all of his eyes bulging, he covers the eyes on his face and announces that it is Chamber, it is totally Chamber. 'He's got the blue chip!' Trevor exclaims as the timer beeps. 'Is that your final guess?' Jubilee asks. 'Yes! Positive!' Trevor tells her. Jubilee tells Trevor that he is right, and that he did a nice job. 'Cool! Thanks! Bye!' Trevor calls out as he walks out of the room, still covering his face. 'I guess I'll see you tomorrow?' Jubilee asks. 'That's the plan, Ma'am!' Trevor responds, while deciding that he found the last chip, but nearly broke his eyes on the process. He wonders if that really counts as a win.
Shortly, Trevor is slumped forward at the table in the cafeteria. Nathaniel Carver a.k.a. Hindsight sits to his left, and Lin Li a.k.a. Nature Girl sits next to him, while Benjamin Deeds a.k.a. Morph sits opposite them. Pixie and Sprite fly across the room, carrying their trays of food, while Shark Girl, Glob Herman, Indra, Broo and several other students are also in the cafeteria, seated at other tables, or walking around. 'Last thing I need or want is for my eyes to make me even more of an obnoxious weirdo' Trevor thiinks to himself, before telling his teammates that curfew is the worst. As Nathaniel holds two apples, Trevor points out that it has been, like, a week since he has been out past six PM, and that he is starting to feel like a caged animal. 'Trevor, that's offensive to my friends at the zoo' Nature Girl exclaims. 'Oh – s-sorry about that, Lin!' Trevor quickly replies, throwing his hands in the air.
'Here. This one fell off a tree, the other was picked' Nathaniel smiles at Lin, handing her one of the applies. 'You mean murdered...' Lin replies. 'Sure' Nathaniel tells her. Trevor then notices Nathaniel's sleeves are rolled up, and asks him why that is, if he doesn't like touching stuff. 'Fashion is suffering and all that jazz' Nathaniel smiles, putting his gloves back on. 'Honestly, that never made any sense to me...' Trevor remarks, before Roxy Washington a.k.a. Bling walks over to the table and puts her tray of food down. Nathaniel greets her, before the frowning Bling asks if any of her teammates have seen a large, gold signet ring – the one with the tiger on it. As Lin bites into the apple, Nathaniel tells Roxy that he hasn't, and asks her when the last time she saw it was. Looking at her hands, Bling declares that she had it on this morning, and supposes that she must have dropped it somewhere.
Anole walks past Shark Girl, who smiles at Genesis, while Dust can be seen near the back of the room, where Rockslide is walking past, and, looking at the food on his fork, Trevor suggests to Roxy that she might have dropped it somewhere in the cafeteria, or perhaps someone took it. Roxy tells Trevor that sounds crazy, and asks who would want to steal her ring. 'I dunno. I just think – what the -?!' Trevor exclaims as he looks up and sees all of the students in the cafe as skeletons. 'Hey, Trev...' Roxy calls out. 'You okay?' Nathaniel asks, putting a hand on Trevor's shoulder. Lin is the only one who Trevor doesn't see as a skeleton, and she takes another bite of the apple, while Trevor decides that he is not okay – totally not.
Later, the trouble for Trevor and his eyesight continues, as he and his teammates sit in class, everyone except for Nature Girl appears as some sort of synpatic body pattern. Jubilee tells her class that they are covering “The Physics and Mathematics of Street Fighting” to which Quentin Quire a.k.a. Kid Omega asks if she iis going to teach them how to defend themselves against someone armed with fresh fruit.
And, depending on your perspective, it got worse, as Trevor sat next to Benjamin and Nathaniel who were watching television, as Nathaniel asks 'You know what's actually scarier than a talking camera lens with a red light in it?' to which Benjamin declares that that camera lens has a name. 'Well, Ben, Hal's got nothing on a wet girl with hair in her face crawling outta TVs' Nathaniel replies. Trevor watches them, seeing them as blue patterns, with their hearts glowing red.
Trevor realizes that it is as if everyone's inner most feelings were being totally exposed, and walking down a corridor, several walls became transparent to Trevor, who looks in and sees Jubilee and Chamber consoling Bing. He knows that this is stuff people don't want him to see or know – but it is like he couldn't not see it.
Trevor sits down on a bench outside and declares that it is like he is losing control of his sight, as if his eyes were in revolt. 'Why are you telling me this?' Lin asks as a cat rests on her shoulder, and a bird drops down onto her hand. 'Because for some reason, Lin – you're the only one who looks normal to me' Trevor explains, as other students walk past them, all appearing in skeletal forms. Trevor adds that he doesn't know how to explain this to Jubilee without telling her that he has seen things and he knows he shouldn't have – things like Chamber has Smiths lyrics tatooed on his hip – like way down his hip. 'Like, I-now-know-the-cut-of-his-jib, down' Trevor adds. He pulls back the hood of his sweater that was covering his head as he tells Lin that he knows everyone already thinks he is weird and kinda uesless, and that's fine, he is used to it, but he doesn't want anyone to see him as the creepy kid with a million eyes who can't control whether or not he sees through their clothes – because he isn't a perv and doesn't wanna have to look at people's toes for the rest of his life.
'But toes are like people's roots. They're important' Lin tells Trevor plainly. 'Lin, you're missing the point!' Trevor exclaims, clutchhing his chest. He looks at the students walking past, who appear to him as blue shadows, and declares that his powers are bugging out and he doesn't know how to fix it – he doesn't know if this is a secondary mutation, or he just pulled an eye muscle. One figure appears as a pink shadow – a raccoon, and Eye-Boy leaps to his feet as he  sees the raccoon reach into the back of Rockslide's trousers and steal his wallet. Trevor rushes over to Rockslide and asks him where his wallet is. Rockslide pats his trousers and remarks that he must have left it in his room, while the raccoon scampers off into the shrubs. Rockslide tells Eye-Boy that it is weird hhe knew that, but Eye-Boy tells Rockslide that he didn't forget his wallet, and that it was stolen – he saw the whole thing – a raccoon-shaped creature took it.
Rockslide interrupts Eye-Boy, and patting his head, tells him that his eyes are wrecked. 'When was the last time you slept?' Rockslide asks. 'Eh?' Trevor asks. Rockslide suggests to Eye-Boy that he stop looking at porn all night and get some sleep. 'What – no! That's not what I...' Trevor exclaims, to which Nature Girl informs him that she believes him. 'You're strange, but not a liar' she declares, hands on hips. 'Thanks...?' Trevor replies, before Nature Girl starts to walk away, announcing that they will find his thieving raccoon. 'Seriously?' Trevor asks as he runs after Lin.
Later, Trevor and Lin are searching through some trees and bushes within Central Park, and Trevor asks Lin if she is going back to living with humans or animals, to which Lin tells him that neither is ideal, as humans confuse her, but plants and animals see her as human. Trevor tells her that it must be weird knowing what nature thinks of people, while people don't seem to care about nature – outside of animal videos on the internet. 'Dogs catching tacos are hardly nature' Lin replies, before smiling, and telling Trevor that he is right, it is weird. She puts her hands on a tree and announces that the trees say they are close. Trevor remarks that he thought trees couldn't tell people and animals apart, but Lin points out that raccoons with human wallets are unique.
'Duck' Lin suddenly tell Trevor. 'Huh? Where?' Trevor asks, when, up above, the raccoon leaps towards him, screeching as it lands on Trevor, forcing him to the ground. Trevor is shocked, and grabs the creature, keeping it at bay as it tries to claw him, Trevor discovers that the raccoon is furless. The raccoon latches on to Trevor's hooded sweater, and pulls on it, forcing Trevor to let the raccoon remove his sweater, while he calls out to Lin, asking her to do something, to call it off. 'Mr Raccoon?' Lin asks, but the creature just growls at her. Lin reports that the creature is not responding, and that she thinks it might be hypnotized.
Nature Girl picks the creature up by the scruff of its neck. The creature tries to bite her other hand, 'Bad Mr Raccoon' Lin tells the strange creature, who then begins to whine. Lin tells the creature that she is sorry and asks it if it is all right now. 'Skree skree' the creature replies. 'I thought so' Lin remarks, before asking the creature why it stole Rockslide's wallet. 'Skree skree' the creature utters. 'The Rat King?' Lin replies, wide-eyed. The furless raccoon begins to tell Nature Girl its story, and Nature Girl learns that the Rat King is the animal don of Central Park, that every animal has to pay him to live here – they have no choice – money, electronics, jewelry, anything that is worth anything. They are forced to steal from the living and rob from the dead – the Rat King wants it. 'Holy crap' Eye-Boy utters, before turning to Lin and telling her that they have to do something.
'What are you -' Lin begins as Eye Boy rushes onto a large rock and stands on it, exclaiming 'My fellow animals, I see a whole army here in defiance of tyranny. What will you do withour freedom? Will you fight? Sure, fight and you could die. Run, and you'll live...for now' Etye-Boy calls out. Lots of animals start gathering around, to Lin's surprise, as Eye-Boy tells the animals that, years from now, when they are dying in their nests, for one shot, just one shot, at coming back here to tell this Rat Kinf that he may take their stuff – but he may never take their freedom! 'To the Rat King!' Trevor exclaims as birds chirp and other animals chitter in agreement.
Soon, Eye-Boy leads the way through the sewers beneath New York City. Nature Girl follows him, and all sorts of animals run along the edges of the sewer, while birds fly alongside Nature Girl. 'The Rat King lives in the sewers...I feel like I should've seen this coming' Trevor tells Lin, who asks him why that is. 'I'd say dramatic irony, but really, at this point – I just think God hates me' Trevor replies, seemingly unaware that a black rat is watching he and Lin, two tells Trevor that she doubts it, and from what she has seen, there is no God.
Suddenly, Nature Girl and all of the animals and birds fall under a spell as music resonates through the sewer. 'What's that? Lin, do you hear that -' Trevor begins, before all of the birds and animals start to bare their teeth and stare at Trevor. Nature Girl growls, and points forward, and the animals begin attacking Trevor. 'Lin! What are you – ow ow ow ow ow! It's me – ow ow – Trevor!' Eye-Boy calls pit as the birds peck at him and the animals claw and scratch him. Trevor manages to run from the animals, pushing them off of him as he splashes his way through the sewer water, he continues to run, until he comes to a dead end - '%&#$! The Rat King!' Eye-Boy shouts as he sees a a makeshift throne, piled up with stolen electronics and other personal belongings, while the Rat King, appearing to him as a blue shadow, sits on the throne, playing a flute.
Nature Girl and the creatures arrive at the dead end, and Trevor tells Lin to snap out of it. 'He's using the fact that you're fluent in animal to hypnotize you!' Trevor points out. He knows that he has to get out of here, but he is knocked over by a large rabbit as the music continues to flow around them and so the animals continue their forced assault. Suddenly, Nature Girl slams a fist into Eye-Boy's face, knocking him back again. 'How did I not see that attack coming?' Trevor wonders as rats rush towards him. He is able to get to his feet, and thinks that being able to analyze movements and see attacks coming at him is, like, the one thing he has going for him. 'It's practically the only reason I'm still al – wait' Trevor thinks to himself, splashing through the water as several animals follow him, he realizesthat he has never tried analyzing Lin because he never felt like he understood her, and wonders if that is why he can't see through her.
Eye-Boy tells himself to relax, to breathe deep and not to overanalyze what is in front of him – to look at the whole picture. He goes wide-eyed (all over) as the blue shadow before him suddenly is replaced by the Rat King. 'The whole – are you friggin' kidding me right now?' Trevor asks himself, discovering that the Rat King is just a dude in flip-flops and a plastic crown. A rat suddenly bites Trevor's hand, and Trevor reacts by inadvertantly flinging the rat across the chamber, where it lands on the Rat King's face, causing rthe villain to drop the flute, which clangs to the floor. Nature Girl and the animals are freed from the Rat King's trance, as Eye-Boy asks 'What the hell is wrong with you? You can't just force animals to steal for you!'
Eye-Boy holds the Rat King by his collar, the Rat King is now sitting in the sewer water, while Eye-Boy has the flute in his other hand. 'I, the Rat King, will avenge the death of my father, the Piper, as well as his alligators, who -' the Rat King begins, but Trevor interrupts him: 'Do I look like I care about who yourdad is?' he shouts, before snapping the flute as he exclaims 'No one wants to hear your stupid d-list villain backstory!' and the Rat King howls as the flute is broken. Nature Girl and all of the animals rally together, as Nature Girl informs Trevor that they can take it from here, and the Rat King backs up against the stolen items he has collected as Nature Girl and the animals loom over him.
Later, Nature Girl sits on some grass, a raccoon at her side and a bird resting on one of her horns. 'BAM!' Eye-Boy exclaims as he punches the air, smiling. 'Hope that Jerk King wasn't planning on having kids, 'cause I don't know if he can after that owl dive-bombed his wedding bells!' Trevor jokes, adding 'Holy crap, Lin! The way you got the animals to organize and find Roxy's ring and Santo's wallet – amazing!' Trevor declares that he can't wait to tell everyone about it, before asking Lin how she is even in this class when she is such a badass. 'I'm not' Lin responds. 'I told birds to gouge your eyes – and a rabbit to chew out your heart. And I hit you in the face. I'm ashamed' Lin reveals. Eye-Boy quickly tells Lin not to be, and that he will tell Roxy he found her ring in the hall. Trevor smiles and remarks that no one has to know about the Rat King, as he was super lame anyway. Lin smiles and thanks Trevor. 'And I won't tell anyone you saw Chamber's wedding bells' Lin promises. Eye-Boy frowns and scratches his head, remarking that he had forgotten about that.

Untitled
The Xavier Institute, specifically room 204, Advanced Mutant Sexuality, where Doop is instructing a class, among them Lin Li a.k.a. Nature Girl, Trevor Hawkins a.k.a. Eye-Boy, Quentin Quire a.k.a. Kid Omega, Roxy Washington a.k.a. Bling, Benjamin Deeds a.k.a. Morph and Nathaniel Carver a.k.a. Hindsight. Doop smirks as he speaks to them in his native tongue. Quentin leans back in his chair, bored, while Benjamin draws on a piece of paper. Nature Girl and Eye-Boy are both wide-eyed as they listen to Doop, who starts to gesture with his hands. Bling raises her hand and asks 'Yeah, but have you tried Tinder? It's crawling with mutant fetishists'.
Doop has a sad face, and continues speaking to the class. Rockslide, Anole and Graymalkin can be seen sitting at the back of the room. Doop's voice changes, a different infliction and he purses his lips and blushes, before his voice returns to normal. Eye-Boy looks at Nature Girl and tells her that Doop is making him so uncomfortable. 'I know. He's very handsome' the wide-eyed Nature Girl responds.
Quentin yawns and mutters 'Sage advice from a floating potato'. Hindsight looks at the skeleton wristband around Quentin's arm, then to Benjamin, who is now sleeping at his desk and notices he has the same wristband on. Hindsight throws a screwed-up piece of paper at Quentin's head, and Quentin turns around, 'What?' he frowns, speaking telepathically to Hindsight, whose thoughts respond 'Benjamin looks like death. When was the last time he slept?' Quentin looks away and runs a hand through his pink hair responding 'Hell if I know. Do I look like his keeper?' to which Hindsight's thoughts can be heard by Quentin: 'No, just someone who's dragged him out every night after curfew'. Hindsight then adds 'By the way, Quentin, nice wristband'. Hindsight removes one of his gloves and points out that it is almost like Quentin doesn't care if Jubilee catches he and Benjamin. 'Still have no idea what you're talking about, Nathaniel' Quentin smirks, adding that if people are sneaking out, then good on them for fighting this oppressive $%^&#$%$.
Images flash into Hindsight's mind, as he sees Quentin's memories – firstly Quentin and Benjamin spraying graffiti on a wall. 'Did you hear that?' Benjamin asked as Quentin sprayed “Kitty Pryde Wuz Here” on the wall and asked' What? You mess your pants?' then later, Benjamin has been stripped to his underwear as they sang karaoke on a stage, with Quentin enjoying it much more than Benjamin. Later still, the boys are swimming in a pool. 'Whose pool is this?' Benjamin asked, but Quentin just splashed him and told him to shut up and learn to have fun. And still later, inside a bar, a dozen empty shot glasses are strewn before Quentin, who hangs his head and muttered 'She hates me, Benj... I know it' to which Benjamin suggested to Quentin that he just talk to her. 'But talking takes so much effort' Quentin replied.
Hindsight frowns, unimpressed, while Quentin is wide-eyed, then pulls away, and leers at Hindsight, asking him if is supposed to be all anti-mind-reading without consent. 'I asked myself what you'd do and did that' Hindsight replies. Hindsight smirks as he tells Quentin that it is surprisingly liberating not being considerate of others. Suddenly, Benjamin's head falls forward further, and he pokes himself in his eye with pencil. 'Ah! Son of a -!' Benjamin exclaims, leaping to his feet and putting a hand over his eye. 'Ahh, I...' Benjamin remarks, looking around the classroom and seeing that everyone is looking back at him. 'Yeah. We know. We all saw you dive eye-first onto your pencil' Bling tells him.
Soon, out on the Institute grounds, 'God. I'm pathetic. I nearly lost my eye to an eraser. No wonder I'm in this class' Benjamin mutters. Hindsight tells him that he isn't pathetic, but overly exhausted. 'Pathetic is Quentin running after a girl who's clearly out of his league' Hindsight explains as they see Quentin following Oya across the grounds. 'Who is that?' Hindsight enquires. Benjamin tells his teammate that hher name is Idie Onkonkwo, a badass and definite future X-Man. He adds that he thinks she and Quentin used to go out. 'Seriously?' Hindsight asks, surprised.
'It's just sushi, Idie. We all gotta eat' Quentin grins at Idie, who scowls at him, then stops and turns, telling him that, as true as that is, she doesn't see the point of eating uncooked blowfish with him. 'Idie!' a voice calls out. Idie looks over and sees Armor, Dust and Pixie waving at her. Armor tells her to come on, as class starts in five minutes. Quentin looks forlorn, 'Idie, wait – I know I left things...well, I left -' Quentin begins, but Idie tells him to stop. 'Just...don't' she snaps at him. Idie carries on walking away from Quentin and reminds him that he told her that he has always hated having to try to live up to people's expectations, so she is not going to do that to him, or to herself. 'Not again' Idie declares, and Quentin frowns.
'Yeah, that went about how I expected it to' Hindsight tells Benjamin, suggesting he take notes, as Idie could teach him a thing or two about saying “no” to Quentin. 'I know you all think Quentin's a jerk, and that he acts like he's cool with it, but...he's also probably the loneliest person I've ever met' Benjamin reveals. 'Don't tell him I said that, though!' Benjamin is quick to add. Hindsight tells Benjamin that he is too good a roommate for Quentin, when suddenly, Quentin appears: 'Yo, Benji!' he calls out, announcing that he has something extra special planned for tonight. Benjamin tells Quentin that he doesn't know, as he is pretty tired. 'I think I'm gonna -' Benjamin begins, but Quentin interrupts him: 'What? Sleep? That crap's for the dead'. Hindsight tells Quentin that Benjamin is hanging with him tonight, that Benjamin has some pretentious indie flick that he wants him to watch. 'Sounds lame' Quentin responds. 'So what are we doing instead, Quentin?' Hindsight asks. 'Fine. Tag along' Quentin mutters, before telling his teammates that they are both going to need to be better dressed.
Later, night has fallen over Central Park, and Jubilee and Chamber are both walking beside a pond within the park. Jubilee yawns and asks Chamber what the time is. Chamber tells her that it is half past nine, to which Jubilee remarks that she should be in bed, not patrolling for M-Plate. 'Just like Monet to disregard your schedule by remaining hidden, innit?' Chamber jokes. 'Thaaaaat B' Jubilee exclaims. Jubilee smiles and asks Chamber if he thinks they should put some 24K face cream or a diamond studded nail file out on a bench – will Monet bite? 'Entrapment via luxury goods. Clever' Chamber replies. 'And you know she's dying for a pedicure!' Jubilee jokes, before telling Jono that they haven't talked about what they would actually do if they found her.
'What's to discuss? If we find Monet – which I'm starting to doubt – we take her and her mutant-bone-marrow-sucking brother down. No hesitation' Chamber replies, adding that anything less would be underestimating Monet. 'And you know better than to do that, Lee' he points out. Jubilee frowns as she asks Chamber if she lost control of her vampirism, if that is how her would handle her - “no hesitation”? Chamber stops and asks Jubilee where this is coming from. 'You're not Monet' he reminds her. 'Sure, my vampy teeth aren't on my hands like M's are – but if someone as annoyingly strong as Monet can't control her brother's hunger... then what in the hell am I doing?' Jubilee wonders. She looks at the amulet hanging around her neck and tells Chamber that as much as she believes she has this whole vampire “life” under control, the truth is, the only thing keeping her in check is this hubcap-sized sun protection amulet and a thermos full of donor blood. 'So if I lose either, what happens to Shogo? Or my students? What if I'm no better than she is?' Jubilee laments. 'Lee, you can't -' Chamber begins, putting a hand on Jubilee's shoulder, when suddenly, someone calls out 'Somebody! Help!'
Jubilee and Chamber look over and see someone in a hooded sweater with a white bandana covering their face punch a park jogger in the face. The jogger falls backwards, and the assailant appears to have taken their wallet, and runs on through the park, armed with a gun, they come to a stop when Jubilee slides into view. 'Boo' she utters. 'What the -' the surprised assailant calls out, before Chamber appears behind him. 'Of all  the nights you coulda chosen -' Chamber begins '- you had to pick one where I was particularly cranky' Jubilee frowns, arms folded. 'Yet another mistake' Chamber tells the assailant, before releasing a psi-blast, which knocks the gun from the thug's hand, then Jubilee leaps into the air and kicks the thug in the face. 'Might have been a bit heavy on the pass, luv' Chamber suggests as he stands over the thug. 'I'm just gonna assume that's sportsball talk for “amazing”' Jubilee replies as she crushes the gun with her bare hands.
Chamber tells Jubilee that, for someone who would rather be sleeping, she seems quite awake. 'So awake' Jubilee agrees, adding that she totally forgot how much fun patrolling could be. Chamber asks Jubilee how much longer she has Dani Moonstar watching Shogo for, to which Jubilee tells him that she has a few more hours. 'It's probably enough time to kick the piss outta two or three more muggers' Chamber suggests, adding that they can make a night out of it. Jubilee grins and asks Jono if she ever told him that he is one of her favorite people in the whole wide world.
Elsewhere, a fancy part is underway. Guests are dressed strangely, and among them the Fenris Twins can be seen feeding food to each other. Vanisher takes a glass of champagne from a waiter, while Hammerhead stands nearby. Crossfire is wearing a red suit, and Daddy Longlegs can be seen at the rear of the room, while Exterminatrix makes her way through the center, near where Skein and Typhoid Mary are arguing about something. Quentin, Nathaniel and Benjamin stand near a table of food, and Quentin holds a small piece of food up and examines it. 'Geez... caviar and crème fraiche tartlets? What is this, 1994?' he mutters. Benjamin looks nervous, and asks Quentin how he got invited to this auction. 'I'm on a mailing list' Quentin replies, casually, while Exterminatrix eyes up Benjamin. As Typhoid Mary yells something at Skein, Quentin looks at a wine glass and reveals that the memorabilia is mostly sharp and pointy things – God willing.
'And why did you think it was a good idea to bring us here?' Benjamin snaps, while Skein's long red scarf rises up around her, and she uses her telekinetic abilities to lift a nearby tablecloth up off the table, along with the food and plates on it, and hurls it at Typhoid Mary. 'You said you “weren't a fan of karaoke Tuesdays” I'm just trying to give you what you want, Benji' Quentin responds, as Benjamin turns and looks at Skein and Typhoid Mary, who pulls out a blade and uses it to knock the food and plates away from her. 'All I want is not to die today' Benjamin tells Quentin, who screws up a face and tells him not to drink the rose. Suddenly, there is a red beam of energy that blasts past Quentin, Nathaniel and Benjamin and slams into Skein and Typhoid Mary, knocking them aside.
'Ladies, you know the rules. Murder each other as much as you want in the parking lot after the auction. Before, we keep things civil' Kade Kilgore, flanked by two large bodyguards, tells Skein and Mary. Kade holds up a small vial and adds 'Unless you want another demonstration of what Lot Number 3245's plasma ray can do. To you' he grins.
'Why is there a fetus with a pocket plasma gun at this show?' Nathaniel asks. 'Crap. That's Kade Kildore' Benjamin mutters. 'Yeah. That kid's the worst' Quentin agrees. Benjammin's appearance shifts so that he resembles Quentin as he asks 'You knowingly brought us to an auction run by that twelve-year-old psychopath?' to which Quentin asks why it is his fault that Benjamin doesn't like karaoke. 'He's dangerous. He pushed his dad out a flying car' Benjamin remarks. 'To “inherit” his billion dollar arms company, Benji. I doubt he'd push you over your own feet for what you're worth' Quentin mutters. 'No, but he might kill all of us if he knows we're students at -' Benjamin begins, when suddenly 'Quentin! Kade shouts as he walks over to the three mutants. 'S'up, Kade? Sprout any chest hairs yet?' Quentin jokes. 'Several' Kade responds, before asking Quentin what he is doing here. 'The rumors are true. I've ditched the X-ranks and gone all kinds of capitalist pig. Like you' Quentin replies. Kade looks at Nathaniel and Benjamin, whose appearance still looks like Quentin, and remarks 'Interesting entourage...'.
'Who? You mean my stuck-up man servant, Nathaniel, and Benji – my boyfriend?' Quentin smirks as he wraps around the wide-eyed Benjamin. 'I never knew you were -' Kade begins. 'Into people as attractive as me?' Quentin smiles. 'You bet your butt I am' he declares, while Nathaniel looks at him, wide-eyed. Kade turns and remarks 'Oh, look at that. The auction's about to start'. Quentin hugs Benjamin and exclaims 'Boyfriend twins. Look it up!' With Kade now walking away from the others, Quentin lets Benjamin go. 'You okay...?' Nathaniel asks. Benjamin hangs his head and tells him 'Yeah. That wasn't – I mean – I'm fine'. Benjamin replies, while Quentin declares that he had a feeling that little psycho was a homophobe.
Kade tells his bodyguard that other than the part where he'd hook up with himself, he didn't believe a word Quentin said. 'I want eyes on him. At all times' Kade declares, before he takes the stage. 'Sold!' Benjamin exclaims, pointing his gavel at Exterminatrix, who purchased something for two hundred and sixty-thousand dollars. Quentin, Benjamin and Nathaniel are seated in front of Exterminatrix, and White Rabbit is sitting next to them. 'All right, we made it through the over-priced laser-murder-pointer. Can we please leave now?' Nathaniel asks. 'Are your parents as disappointed in you as I am, Nathaniel?' Quentin responds, to which Benjamin asks if they can just go. Quentin looks at him and tells him that if he wanted to leave, he could have just said so. 'He did!' Nathaniel exclaims.
Kade then holds up a canister and announces that inside are Kilgore Industries' newest model of Nano-Sentinels, designed to seek and destroy a mutant from the inside out – all you have to do is deploy them. 'Release them into the wind or dump them into the local water supply. The choice is yours' Kade exclaims, as Quentin, Benjamin and Nathaniel look at him, in shock. Kade reports that once the Nano-Sentinels are inside a mutant's bloodstream, the Nano-Sentinels get to work decimating the immune system, and the infected will be clueless – by the time the flu-like symptoms manifest, it will be too late. 'Quentin – we've gotta -' Benjamin begins. Quentin telepathically tells him that he knows, but that he would rather it cost him less than more. 'So maybe think before you speak' he suggests.
Kade grins as he announces that, to keep things interesting, he will begin the bidding at five hits. 'Please tell me he's talking about cocaine' Nathaniel asks the others. 'No. He's definitely talking murder. I told you, that brat's the worst' Quentin replies telepathically. Guests start raising their hands to place the bids, and suddenly, someone calls out 'TEN!' Kade points at the Fenris Twins and exclaims 'Going once!' 'Of course the twincestuous Nazis would want it...' Quentin remarks, to which Nathaniel asks if they should do something. 'Going twice!' Kade calls out. 'Like what, Narthaniel? Offer to murder eleven people?' Quentin replies. Benjamin suddenly suggests that they let the Fenris Twins win. 'SOLD! To the Fenrish Twins!' Kade declares, and as Andreas picks Andrea up in his arms, grinning, Benjamin looks at Nathaniel and Quentin and thinks 'Because we're gonna steal it!'

Untitled
Kilgore Industries Auction, where partygoers are mingling around after the auction's conclusion, including Andreas and Andrea Strucker, the Fenris Twins, who hold each other closely. Quentin Quire tells Benjamin Deeds a.k.a. Morph and Nathaniel Leeds a.k.a. Hindsight that the twins' powers are actually bio-engineered, because their daddy bought 'em for them, but he clearly didn't pay enough, because they only work when they're touching each other – skin to skin. 'Which, from the looks of it, they're okay with...' Quentin adds, before informing his teammates that this Andrea is a clone, as the original died years ago, and Andreas tanned her skin to wrap around his sword. 'So have fun unpacking that...' he remarks, glass of wine in hand. Benjamin asks Nathaniel, who is concentrating hard, whether if it is working, and he can see the security codes.
Nathaniel replies that he is not getting anything, and adds that his “skills” are only automatic when he touches something that is alive, everything else takes focus, which is kinda hard when he is surrounded by murderers. 'Yeah, well, none of that's gonna matter when you're dead' Quentin replies, rolling his eyes, before telepathically telling Benjamin that they are about to heist an auction run by Kade Kilgore, and while he is not worried about getting out alive, the two of them might want to watch their volume and mind their mugs. '#$%&. Sorry' Benjamin replies, as half of his appearance reverts to resembling Quentin, and then asking Quentin if he wants to walk them through the plan again. 'Haven't got much of a choice, have I? Since Nathaniel failed at life...' Quentin replies. 'Sit and spin, Quentin' Nathaniel mutters.
Quentin telepathically tells his teammates that he will separate the Fenris twins by implanting the idea that Andreas has gotta pee like a racehourse, then Benjamin will knock Andreas out – 'Which is more action than he's seen in months' – Quentin jokes, and explains that he will steal Andreas' clothes and face, rejoining Andrea and stroll his way to the nano-Sentinel, then morph his way out of their with the goods. 'Simple. Like you, Benji' Quentin concludes. 'Simple? How am I gonna handle an expert swordsman like Andreas -' Benjamin begins, as Quentin interrupts: 'When you're just a sad panda? Point taken. I'll handle it'.
'And what if my “impersonation” sucks?' Benjamin asks. 'Or his look's off by a freckle?' Nathaniel suggests. Quentin tells them that they won't be looking that closely, and that it is part of Benji's charm. “Charm?” Nathaniel asks. 'Whenever Benji gets a face lift, he farts out some chemical that makes people relax and lights flicker' Quentin explains. 'Farts?' Benjamin protests. 'That's why people like him. And why he smells so good' Quentin adds. 'That explains a few things...' Nathaniel remarks, staring at Benjamin. 'Like what?' Benjamin asks, looking back at Nathaniel. 'Oh, for the love of – quit stalling – get to distracting!' Quentin declares as he pushes Benjamin into the crowd, while Andreas can be seen leaving the main room. 'PS, don't forget to watch out for Kade's guards' Quentin tells Benjamin, who looks nervous as he walks past two of Kade Kilgore's guards.
Benjamin is in the men's room and leans against the sink, remembering that when he first joined the school, Cyclops warned him that his powers were “passive, at best” and then after he was punched in the face, Cyclops told him that when they come for his fellow mutants, he has to be ready, and that “You, Mr Deeds, are not”. Benjamin looks in the mirror and decides that after over a year of training and a dead Scott Summers later, he can still hear him saying “You, Mr Deeds, are not ready”.
Suddenly, there is a flushing, and a door to one of the stalls opens. Andreas goes wide-eyed as a voice calls out 'Hey, Andreas'. Andreas sees “Andrea” standing before him and asks her what she is doing in the men's bathroom, and in that hideous suit. 'I needed to... uh... talk to you. About some things...' “Andrea” replies.
Andreas goes over to his “sister” and puts a finger to her lips, telling her to shush, and that he understands. 'You – you do?' “Andrea” asks, pulling away. 'Father said your cloning would bring about... irregularities in your behavior' Andreas remarks, moving in closer to “Andrea” once again, who replies 'Actually. I'm not sure we're on the same page...'  Andreas tells his sister that he thought he lost her. 'If it wasn't for father – Andrea, is that stubble on your face?' Andreas asks, pulling away. 'I – I think I forgot to moisturize' “Andrea” claims, to which Andreas tells her that she moisturizes regularly. 'Uh, I -' “Andrea” utters, when suddenly, a blast strikes Andreas and he falls to the ground.
Nathaniel appears, holding a strange weapon and as he stands over Andreas' unmoving body, remarks that the “stun” on this thing had way more of a kick on it than he was expecting. 'Where in the hell did that come from?' Benjamin asks, shifting back to his true form. Nathaniel reveals that Quentin telekinetically lifted it from that shady dominatrix lady, and adds that, apparently, everyone is packing something. They pick Andreas up and drag him across the room, as Benjamin thanks Nathaniel for saving his butt, adding that the second Andreas touched him, he realized Andreas knew he wasn't Andrea. Probably because it didn't feel all kinds of wrong' Nathaniel suggests and adds, just in case, Benjamin should probably not touch Andrea. 'Yeah. Or we're all dead' Benjamin realizes. Nathaniel tells Benjamin that he has guys like Quentin Quire wrapped around his finger, and that he can do this. 'Whatever voice you've got going inside your head, don't let it be the thing that beats you' Nathaniel tells his friend. They sit Andreas up on a toilet, and Nathaniel tells Benjamin 'Now that you believe in yourself, you take off his shirt and I'll get his pants'.
Disguised as Andreas, Benjamin re-enters the crowd, and passing Skein, Typhoid Mary and Exterminatrix, thinks to himself that Nathaniel is right, and it is nothing he hasn't heard before – he knows he is his own worst enemy. 'If I weren't, I would've friggen’ asked him out by now instead of -' Benjamin thinks, interrupted when Andrea calls out to him. 'Crap' Benjamin thinks, as Andrea tells him that he said he would be right back, but it felt like an eternity. Gus and Rigo the Zapta Brothers are standing nearby, and Benjamin hears Cyclops telling him that he isn't read again, while Andrea leans into “Andreas” and tells him that those brutish Zapta Brothers have been openly ogling her this entire time – not that she can blame them. Benjamin stares down at Andrea, Cyclops' voice repeating over and over in his mind, before he thinks to himself 'You know what? Screw you, Scott Summers', then grins at Andrea: 'Neither can I. Let's rub it in their faces and pick up our new toy' he suggests, holding out his arm for her to take it. Quentin telepathically asks Benji how it is going, and with a large, fake smile plastered across his face, Benjamin replies 'I might've thrown up a bit in my mouth...' 'Attaboy!' Quentin exclaims.
Quentin stands near a table of food as Nathaniel approaches him. Quentin tells Nathaniel that it is about time he showed up, as the eagle has landed, everything is good, even this shrimp, surprisingly. 'So. You and Ben. There's really nothing going on between you two?' Nathaniel asks. 'Hold up – is that why you read my mind this morning?' Quentin grins, flicking the rest of the shrimp he was eating back onto the table. 'Smooth move, Carver' Quentin grins, leaning into Nathaniel, who tells him to forget it. 'Chill, Nathaniel. You know everything there is to know about me and Benji. He's way too fragile. I'd destroy him' Quentin grins. Nathaniel scowls at him, when suddenly, Kade Kilgore appears, with two guards at his side, he exclaims that he had a feeling something wasn't right about Quentin's “boyfriend”, and asks 'He's Benjamin Deeds, right? The X-student who morphs?'
'Which means you’re back in their ranks' Kade declares. '#$%&! Benji -' Quentin calls out telepathically. 'Quentin -' Nathaniel begins, before Quentin cries out in pain and clutches his head as Kade asks 'How do you like my psychic dampener?' which buzzes through Quentin's mind. Kade explains that it is a like a shock collar for telepaths and is handy when you've got one trying to run off with a customer's goods.
Elsewhere, Benjamin, still disguised as Andreas, walks with Andrea hanging on his arm. His thoughts reach out to Quentin, informing him that Andrea has the cannister, but he is going to need some help actually taking it from her – however he gets no response from Quentin. 'Andreas. Are you listening to me?' Andrea exclaims. 'Huh? Of course! Uh...you were saying?' “Andreas” replies, while Mandrill walks past them. 'Our birthday. How would you like to celebrate?' Andrea asks. 'Oh, uh...drinking? Dancing? Murdering mutants? It's up to you...' “Andreas” responds. 'That's going to be difficult...since our birthday was last week!' Andrea snaps, leaning into “Andreas” who goes wide-eyed.
'Nice job connecting the dots, Baby Einstein. I'm guessing this means that “last minute” lot of nano-Sentinels you auctioned off was bait?' Quentin asks Kade. Nathaniel helps Quentin to his feet as Kade remarks that he thought they would figure it out sooner, but he guesses all it takkes to fool Quentin is an internet image search of nano-Sentinels and a scary looking thermos full of saline. 'Which of course means your friend Ben's probably going to die – for nothing' Kade grins.
'Come on Ben...' Benjamin thinks to himself, while Andrea tells him that her may look and sound like Andreas, but that he hardly fills out his suit, and he definitely lacks Andreas' musk. 'They're coming for your fellow mutants' Ben hears the voice in his head. 'If anything, you smell like – a cheap imitation' Andrea points out. Benjamin looks at the thermos Andrea is carrying, before Andrea grabs him by his collar and pulls him into her, 'Who are you? And what have you done with my brother?' she demands. 'So do something about it!' Benjamin hears, before he suddenly changes his appearance to that of Madrill's, frightening Andrea, who screams and pushes him away – but not before Benjamin grabs the thermos from her, and leaps into the crowd as the lights suddenly turn off. 'Hey!' Andrea calls out.
The lights turn back on, 'Come back here, you thieving ape!' Andrea shouts as she punches the Black Tarantula who was standing near here. 'Aren't mandrills monkeys?' Paladin asks Tombstone, who replies 'Mandrill? Where?' as Benjamin tells himself to switch it up, and he takes the form of Tombstone as Andrea asks the Black Tarantula 'Could you be any more in the way?' to which he responds 'How 'bout you say that to my face, you entitled witch'. Benjamin still looks like Tombstone as he runs past the Zapta brothers and tells them that Spider-Face back there is about to throw down with Andrea Strucker. 'Whuuuut? Dude can't be hitting no ladies!' one of the brothers replies. 'Bruh. Don't be sexist – you gotta keep it equal opportunity' the other brother replies. 'Dude. That's not what that means' the first brother tells him.
'Look, you little brat, if you're gonna try to kill us, let's get this over with' Quentin tells Kade, who asks 'Kill you? Why would I do that?' and reminds Quentin that he is the one who broke him out of mutant jail. 'Then what in the hell was the point of all this?' Quentin asks. Kade looks sheepish as he explains that he wanted to know if Quentin was back with the X-Men, and smiles as he points out that things are always much more difficult for the X-Men when Quentin is around. 'You're basically the human equivalent of a nano-Sentinel – you'll eventually destroy the X-Men from the inside out' Kade declares. Quentin hangs his head and Nathaniel looks at him, when suddenly, there is a loud BOOOM and everyone looks around. 'There goes the room...' Nathaniel remarks.
At that moment, Crossfire and Exterminatrix open fire at each other, while Mandrill shoves Hammerhead up against a wall, Skein and Typhoid Mary fight each other as the Brothers Zapta also fight. 'Why you always gotta be criticizing everything I say, bruh?' one of them asks. 'Because your face and mouth's always embarrassing me!' the other responds. Kade's guards want to lead him out to safety, 'Ugh. Every single time...take me to my car' Kade mumbles in response, while Nathaniel watches the criminals battle each other. 'Typical' Quentin mutters as Kade is led away. Suddenly, a piece of food is thrown at Nathaniel's face. 'Benjamin?!' Nathaniel asks as he looks over and sees Benjamin, back in his true form, standing behind a large potted plant. 'Holy *&#%, Benji. Did you do this?' Quentin asks as he and Nathaniel rush over to Benjamin, who holds the thermos and points out that he didn't have a choice, and adds that this was a bigger pain in the ass to get than expected. 'Sorry about the crostini, Nathaniel' he adds. 'It's fine. I'm sure it was the softest, least moist thing you could find at the time' Nathaniel replies. 'And Ben, about that canister -' Nathaniel begins, before Quentin deflects some shrapnel that is fired towards them and suggests they save their compliments for the master thief for later and focus on getting out of here in as few pieces as possible.
'Kade's totally the type of person who'd build secret escape passages into his buildings, right?' Ben asks. 'He would be that cliché' Quentin replies, to which Benjamin suggests that Nathaniel just has to touch the wall and find it, but Nathaniel reminds him that he tried that and it didn't work. 'Yeah, we,, take a piece of your own advice – just listen to my voice and relax. You can do this' Ben tells Nathaniel, who puts a hand to one of the walls. Nathaniel concentrates hard, and then announces that he sees it, across the room, a built-in secret passage. 'Like I said, cliché' Quentin mumbles. The three young mutants race across the room, running past Skein who gets slammed in the face by Typhoid Mary's fist. 'The table with a marble bust on it – the wall next to it opens up!' Nathaniel reveals. 'Isn't that a bust of Kade's dad?' Benjamin asks as they reach the table. 'You'd know better than me – all I know is we've gotta shove a finger in his eye' Nathaniel replies. 'Okay, now that's a level of specificity I can appreciate' Quentin remarks, before telling Nathaniel to hit it like he means it. Nathaniel pushes his finger into the statue's eye, and the door opens. 'Nice job saving us' Benjamin smiles at Nathaniel, who replies 'Yeah, well, couldn't have done it without you' to which Benjamin grins.
Meanwhile, at the Xavier Institute, Jubilee and Chamber sit side-by-side on a sofa, with Jubilee's baby, Shogo, resting on Chamber's leg as Jubilee tells him that this has been the best night since...well, she doesn't think she has been otside past seven PM in months. She adds that taking down those muggers tonight was the closest she has felt to being herself in forever. 'How so?' Chamber asks her. Jubilee explains that when you are a vampire, there is this low-key constant hunger that is so hard to ignore sometimes, but at one point tonight, she forgot, and the craving that she was a vampire, it was like she was back to being her old, normal self. Jubilee frowns as she adds that it is kinda weird suddenly thinking of mutant her as “normal”. Chamber pulls a blanket up over Shogo and reminds Jubilee that they spent years angsting over the thought that they were monsters. 'Realizing you aren't takes time to adjust' Jono adds. Jubilee leans into Jono and tells him 'Who knew that all this wisdom that comes with old age would look so good on you?' to which Jono replies 'Says the only “adult” here with a child'.
Jubilee puts her head on Jono's shoulder and thanks him. 'For?' Chamber asks. I dunno... existing? For being the onl- OW!' Jubilee exclaims, sitting back up. Chamber asks her if she is all right, and Jubilee clutches her face, explaining that she just bit her tongue really hard. 'Stupid vamp teeth. They're the worst' Jubilee mutters. Shogo wakes up and Jubilee asks Jono if he can watch Shogo as she wants to check her tongue. She walks across the room, and Jono tells her to do what she has to do. He looks down at Shogo, who looks back up at him. 'Doot doot doot' Shogo gurgles, tugging on Chamber's jacket. 'I know. I know' he mutters, admitting that if he doesn't pull himself together, it is going to be a bloody disaster.
In another part of the Institute, Quentin, Nathaniel and Benjamin have returned, and peering around a corner, Benjamin tells the others that it is all clear. 'Oh, now you're tired?' Nathaniel asks Quentin, who is yawning and points out that it has been at least half an hour since anyone shot at them. Nathaniel heads off in the direction of his room, while Quentin and Benjamin walk towards the room they share. 'See you guys tomorrow' Nathaniel calls out. Yeah. Probably' Benjamin replies, waving. 'Not  by choice' Quentin tells him. 'By the way, Ben – you owe me a movie' Nathaniel grins. Benjamin smiles back sheepishly and tells Nathaniel that he will make sure it is extra indie and extra pretentious. 'Looking forward to hating it' Nathaniel replies. '...seriously?' Quentin asks, looking at the Benjamin out of the corner of his eye.

'What?' Benjamin asks. 'For #$%&'s sake – dude's a total #$%&, but obviously you're into that so – go do something about it' Quentin exclaims. Benjamin frowns, before running down the corridor after Nathaniel, 'Hey, Nathaniel – hold up!' Benjamin calls out, reaching out to grab Nathaniel's hand, Nathaniel pulls away, but spins around: 'Sorry. Reflex' Nathaniel replies, holding his hands back, Benjamin looks at him, before Nathaniel smiles and asks 'What's up?' Benjamin looks nervous, and hears Cyclops' voice in his head again, telling him that he is not ready.
Benjamin returns to his room, where Quentin is getting ready for bed. Benjamin quietly closes the door behind him, and Quentin remarks 'That was either the definition of a “quickie” or you chickened out'. Benjamin ignores him and flops down on his own bed. Quentin smirks and tells Benjamin that that is the fundamental difference between them. 'I always go after what I want – and you won't' Quentin declares, while Benjamin is curled up on his bed looking sad.
