untitled
Ann Arbor, MichiganA pro mutant rally is held and the speaker reminds the other protesters how the last time he was on this stage the X-Men themselves were here and were attacked. He looked into Scott Summers’ eyes and saw a hero.
Many in the crowd agree, whereas others protest the school was attacked because of Summers, and he is a terrorist. They stand with their mutant brothers! the speaker shouts.
Brothers? an enraged Magneto shouts. They think they are brothers? That they feel mutants’ pain? Their pain comes from the humans! He levitates a car and tosses it into the crowd. When his people suffer, none of them do anything! They want to be like mutants? Metal objects attack the crowd Magneto will show them!
Reality:Magneto snaps out of his little power fantasy, for that is all it was, and the speech continues.
He called her, SHIELD agent Dazzler addresses him. Without looking at her, he asks why this campus isn’t a crime scene. It was, she replies. Now it’s this. He points out, if SHIELD agents had been under attack here, this place would be under a dome and agents would comb through everything. She’s sure that was done, she smiles. Don’t get snippy.
She asks what he wants, calling him Erik. Magneto, he corrects her and reveals he needs information. About the mystery Sentinels that keep attacking the X-Men, she figures correctly. If she had any information, he’d be the first to know. Or… the X-Men could cooperate with the investigation and tell her what they know.
He doesn’t believe her, he replies tight-lipped. He thinks she wants innocent mutants and humans to be attacked? He thinks she wants the Jean Grey School to be under siege? Dazzler points out. He doesn’t know what her agenda is anymore. Funny, she muses, that’s what a lot of people say about him. No One knows what his goal is anymore. At least when he was a bat-poop terrorist he was very focused (Killing everyone who didn’t agree with him).There is one theory about him…
Up front officials try to silence the speaker.
… that the death of Charles Xavier messed him up, Dazzler continues. Everybody was focusing on how damaging it was to Scott Summers. Nobody paid attention to him. Either way, she must say this new quieter him is unnerving. He is quiet because the old ways don’t work anymore. His old ways didn’t work that well in the old days, she points out.
In front, the speaker tries to read a letter to the president about mutant persecution.
Dazzler continues. She wonders whether his loss of power is psychosomatic. He glares. What, is he saying he’s better now? Can he throw a tank around again? No, but he can throw a knife or a bullet. So she has nothing for him.
Has he heard about what’s going on in Madripoor? she asks suddenly. He’s been busy, he replies. What? There’s some low rumbling about mutants getting up there. Someone is trying to turn the entire island into a mutant safe harbor. Sort of like Genosha meets Las Vegas. Somewhere where mutants can be mutants. He should check it out. Might be exactly what he’s been looking for. He thought HYDRA owned Madripoor? Magneto interjects. Things change, she smiles.
On the stage, a mutant hater is trying to make his feelings known. And Dazzler leaves.
Sometime later, Magneto, incognito with a beard, has made his way to Madripoor. He looks at the mutants leaving openly and in peace. He follows some young mutant boys who go to a doorway where a person gives them a fluid in a syringe. Excited, they leave, shouting ‘party time.’
Magneto enters the building, a bar. Vodka, he demands of the barkeeper and remarks this is by far the most colorful hole in the wall he’s been to. Friendly as well, he smirks when the horned mutant just glares. He finishes his drink and peeks into a backroom. Immediately, the barkeeper and the former Morlock Erg question him what he is looking for. The mutant in charge, he replies.
The barkeeper hits him with a bat and Erg figures he is CIA or SHIELD. Someone puts a bag over Magneto’s head. Erg orders for him to be gutted and thrown out.
Magneto struggles physically and with his magnetic power. He levitates a gun and hits the others with it. When Erg threatens him with a knife, the gun levitates to his temple and his knife rises to his throat.
Magneto repeats the question who he works for. He works for him now, Erg realizes. Magneto asks where they get the MGH from. HYDRA tower, he is told, but it isn’t called that anymore. He doesn’t know what it’s called now. Magneto leaves after injuring him with the knife.
Outside on the street, he is accosted by the Blob (fully powered), who gushes about Magneto’s presence here. It makes him feel right to be here as well. He welcomes Magneto to the new mutant utopia. Did he do this? Magneto asks. Blob is flattered and promises to lead him to the people in charge.
He leads him to former HYDRA tower atop the roof and Blob prattles, asking if he remember these guys. He refers to the new Silver Samurai and Sabretooth, who shakes Magneto’s hand. Is this all him? Magneto asks. Nah, but the new queen of Madripoor has arrived, he is told as a helicopter lands and a smiling Dazzler steps out.
Annoyed, Magneto asks why she sent him halfway around the world. With a smirk “Dazzler” reveals her true form – Mystique. Magneto asks where Alison Blaire is. She’s fine. She’s resting, Mystique claims. When she made herself mutant SHIELD liaison, how could Mystique not take full advantage of that? So she replaced her, Magneto continues. She’s been working for SHIELD the whole time. Not the whole time, Raven corrects him, and SHIELD is working for her. They just don’t know it. Or she should say for them. This is as much for him as her. She arranged for SHIELD to keep sending her here and she claimed something was going on and she used it to set up what she believes was their ultimate goals since they were born. From here, they can build what they always wanted to build – a place where mutants can just be. They are inviting him to that because, at one time or the other, he showed them all the same kindness. And it wouldn’t be the same without him.
Mutant Growth Hormone, Magneto states. Very profitable, Raven points out. It’s on the streets down there, he continues. That was in play before they came here, Raven continues, but it pays for all this. Where are they getting it from? He asks. She notes he doesn’t look happy.
Xavier had a dream of peaceful coexistence. He dreamed to shepherd their people into their new role as dominant species. So what the hell is this? he shouts. What is this nightmare?
Metal objects around him begin to float. She tells him to let go of those things he’s been carrying around. Look how far he’s fallen. He has all but given up on his dreams! He lives in hiding with Scott Summers, who will get them all killed like Xavier!
She screams when Magneto forces the Silver Samurai’s blade to impale her. He calls them all traitors to their people.
Sabretooth tries to jump him and Magneto fires the bullets in the air at him and the others, then walks toward the helicopter which he uses. When he is airborne, the Blob shouts after him why he did this. In response, Magneto makes him fall through the roof.
At the New Xavier School, Cyclops wonders where Magneto is. Kitty too is worried. Where does he go when he’s not here? Emma tells her Scott doesn’t know. He’s never been gone this long before, Scott muses. He’ll come back, Emma shrugs. Where else is he going to go?

Untitled
The Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, where Scott “Cyclops” Summers of the renegade X-Men team screams, 'Help me!' as his optic power blasts around himself and tears the ground apart. There is an explosion and he is knocked backwards. 'Scott?' Illyana “Magik” Rasputin calls out to her team leader. 'Not me!' Cyclops calls back as Magik goes over to him and tells him that they are leaving.
Ororo “Storm” Munroe, Headmistress of the Jean Grey School walks over to Cyclops and asks him how many sins must he answer for before this world is done with him. Magik tells Storm to stop it. 'Scott Summers is not in control of himself! You can see that!' she snaps. Storm just tells Illyana to get Cyclops out of here. Magik clutches her head and reports that she can't, as something is wrong. 'Hurry!' Storm orders, while Bobby “Iceman” Drake and Rachel Grey stand next to her. Rachel calls out to Magik, who suddenly switches to her demonic form, and snarls 'Get away!' at the other X-Men.
'Goddess!' Storm gasps as Magik raises her Soulsword, and a large apparition appears overhead. Calmly, Storm holds up her hand and creates a storm above, sending rain and lightning down over them. The lightning strikes Magik's Soulsword, knocking it from her hand, Magik collapses to the ground and the apparition vanishes.
'What was that?' Bobby asks, as several others gather around, including Quentin Quire, Glob Herman and Doop. Storm explains that poor Illyana is carrying the dark energies of Limbo inside her. 'She should do the polite thing and keep them inside her' Bobby replies, before asking what they will do with Scott and Magik. 'Call the cops?' Quentin suggests. 'Take them to the lab' Henry McCoy a.k.a. the Beast announces, adding that he will deal with them himself.
Suddenly, someone declares that it looks like it is finally time for Scott Summers to pay the piper. 'And if it calms everything down between the world governments and the mutants, it's probably more than worth it, yeah?' The X-Men look through the rain to where the new arrival is standing. 'We can handle this ourselves' the Beast frowns. 'The problem is, Doctor... it's really not your call'. Dazzler, Special Mutant Liaison for SHIELD stands in her white SHIELD costume, holding an umbrella over her, she declares that if SHIELD says they are taking Cyclops, then they are taking Cyclops. Dazzler reminds the X-Men that SHIELD made her Special Mutant Liaison to keep everything calm. 'I'm trying not to get all easy way / hard way on you... but that is kind of where we are'.
Meanwhile, in Madripoor, a mutant with ram-like horns on his head is thrown through a window, as Fred Dukes a.k.a. The Blob throws him down for another punch. 'Come on, then! Is that it then? No more jokes? No more smart mouths?' the Blob asks, angrily. He slams into the other mutant again, then grins and declares 'I'm the Blob, you jags! I was one of the original Brotherhood!' He rubs his head, disorientated, 'The original! And you will respect me -' he mutters, before looking around, then stumbling out of the bar that he has trashed with several other mutants lying motionless on the floor. He throws up down an alleyway, 'Oh no. No no no...' he mutters, vomit over his face. He starts dialling a number on his phone, 'Come on, come on, Mystique – answer! You promised me! You promised you'd take care of me!' he pleads. But when she doesn't answer, the Blob takes off down a street, unaware that he is being watched by a bald figure in a trenchcoat.
The Blob arrives at a building where he starts rummaging through a draw, finding scalpels, bandages and various medical supplies. 'Come on! Where do you keep it all?' the Blob exclaims. 'Please, please be here! Where do you -?' the Blob asks, while the real Dazzler a.k.a. Alison Blaire lies strapped to a bed in the room, her eyes taped up, various tubes sticking into her.
Suddenly, several scalpels are levitated and held towards the Blob's head. 'What has happened to you, Frederick?' a voice demands. The Blob turns to see the bald Magneto standing before him. 'What is this? What are you doing?' Magneto enquires. The Blob asks Magneto to let him go, to which Magneto asks him what is wrong with him. 'I was looking for -' the Blob stammers. 'For more Mutant Growth Hormone' Magneto remarks. 'Yes' the Blob admits. 'Shame on you' Magneto tells him. 'Please – please don't' the Blob pleads. Magneto forces the scalpels against the Blob's face 'You let her turn you into a junkie' Magneto points out. 'You don't know how this feels – you don't understand' the Blob replies. 'And who is this?' Magneto asks, motioning to the blonde woman tied to the bed.
The Blob replies that he didn't do it to her, that she betrayed them and had it coming. 'Betrayed us?' Magneto asks. 'She's working with SHIELD' the Blob reveals. Magneto looks closer at the woman and realizes that it is Dazzler. 'You animals!' Magneto exclaims, using his control over metal to push the scalpels a little further into the Blob. 'Please, I – I need help' the Blob pleads. Magneto frowns, and remembers an early time with the Blob, before releasing his control over the scalpels. He tells the Blob to go and get it and get away from him. 'Erik...' the Blob utters, before leaving the room.
Magneto stands over Dazzler, and then pulls the cable out of her arm. He takes the bandages off her eyes, 'Don't...' Dazzler utters as she starts to sit up in bed. 'Dazzler? Can you hear me?' Magneto asks. 'Magneto?' Dazzler replies, confused. Magneto assures Dazzler that he will help her pay them back for what they have done to her. 'How long – how long have I -' Dazzler asks, struggling to get out of the bed. Magneto tells her to slow down, before Dazzler asks him who did this to her.
Back at the Jean Grey School, “Dazzler” standing in the rain tells Henry that it is not his decision. 'It is a mutant problem and the mutants will take care of it' the Beast replies. 'Scott Summers is the  world's problem... and SHIELD is the world peacekeeping task force. Respect our authority. Stand down' Commander Maria Hill calls out as she approaches the X-Men, flanked by dozens of SHIELD agents. The Beast tells Hill that, with all due respect, something is wrong with Cyclops and Magik, that something or someone has tampered with them. He assures her that he has equipment and wherewithal to figure out who and how in his lab. 'We have labs and scientists, too' Maria replies as the rain continues to beat down. 'Please. Something is wrong here. This is about mutations. This is what I do!' the Beast exclaims.
The phony Dazzler goes wide-eyed as Maria Hill gives the Beast an hour. 'Miss Hill, you made me Special Mutant Liaison. You really should let me handle this' she demands. Maria tells Dazzler that she is giving her people a chance. 'Isn't that what you would want?' she asks. 'Scott Summers needs to be locked away' Dazzler replies. 'Uh-huh. Doctor, you have one hour' Maria announces. Maria motions to the SHIELD Helicarrier overhead and tells the Beast that they are pointing at him. 'They always are' the Beast mutters as he collects Cyclops and Magik, while the phony Dazzler hangs away from the rest of the group.
Everyone is seemingly unaware that they are being monitored by a mysterious figure in a space suit, from an unknown location. The mysterious figure taps away at a console, and decides that they are probably being greedy, but that all the major players are in one place at one time. 'How can I pass it up?' they ask. 'We knew this day would come, Dr McCoy' the mysterious person adds, pressing another button on the console before them.
With that, the SHIELD Helicarrier starts to unleash fire at the Jean Grey School, tearing up the ground and sending people careening backwards in spectacular display. The Beast tells Storm to take the battle head-on and to keep the school intact and save the students, while he takes Scott and Illyana to his lab. 'We need you to fight!' Storm replies, but the Beast tells her that they need to figure out who is trying to destroy them, and he thinks the clues are inside Cyclops and Magik. Storm agrees, and as the Beast carries on towards his lab, Storm rides on one of Bobby's ice-sleds towards the battle. Maria Hill radios the Helicarrier and orders it to stand down, while inside, one of her officers informs her that the Helicarrier has been compromised. 'It is not us! I repeat! No one in the command center is in control of the Helicarrier! Weapons are online!' a female agent calls out. Storm responds by casting blasts of lightning at the Helicarrier.
Meanwhile, at the hidden New Charles Xavier School, Emma Frost stands outside, arms folded, on a platform, while the Stepford Cuckoos, Goldballs, Tempus, Benjamin Deeds and Triage gather behind her. 'Stop reading my mind, Celeste' Emma orders. Celeste informs Emma that they have been looking all over for her. 'Just ask me what I'm thinking' Emma replies. Celeste remarks that one hardly has to read Emma's mind to know that she is upset that Cyclops left without her and that she finds herself uncharacteristically worried for him. 'You're both worried for him and annoyed by him' Mindee points out, adding that Emma is frustrated by the contradicting emotions.  'Plus you can't turn on Cerebro to talk to him' Phoebe adds. Emma declares that something is wrong – she can feel it. Goldballs suggests that they could turn on Cerebro for just a second and see what they can find out, when suddenly, 'What is that?' Tempus asks as a strange object appears in the sky above them.
Back at the Jean Grey School, Iceman creates an ice-shield, blocking some students from danger, and ordering them to the emergency bunker. 'This is not a drill or a test! I mean everyone and I mean now!' he exclaims as Hellion, Surge, Anole and Broo are blocked from going any further. Rain pours into this part of the building, and Firestar appears in a robe. 'I take a shower and this is what happens!' she declares, to which Bobby tells his friend to get on up there and help Storm.
Outside, Maria Hill orders an immediate shutdown protocol. 'All hands abandon ship!' she exclaims, using her security clearance code. An officer up in the Helicarrier reports that the commands have been overridden, that the ship is not under their control. 'All hands abandon ship! No exceptions!' someone calls out.
'Control freak' the mysterious person in the space suit remarks to themselves as they continue to observe the chaos at the Jean Grey School.
'Hi, Quentin Quire. Why is this happening, Ms Cook?' Quire asks as he reaches up behind Maria and puts his hands to her head. 'Why is SHIELD here to kill us?' Quentin asks. As the rain continues to beat down, the phony Dazzler, still holding the umbrella overhead, skulks away. Above, Storm, Firestar and Kid Gladiator fly towards the Helicarrier, while in his lab, the Beast has Cyclops and Magik laid out on tables. 'Okay, Scott Summers... let's see if you have anything constructive to add for once in your – oh my stars and garters... I know who is behind this!' the Beast exclaims.
And elsewhere, the mysterious foe remarks 'Congratulations, Dr McCoy. You were always the smart one. But there's that one lesson you never learned. So now I'm going to teach it to you'.

Untitled
The hidden location of the New Charles Xavier School, 'Stepfords, give me psychic intel' Emma Frost asks the Stepford Sisters – Celeste, Mindee and Phoebe – as they all look up at a small aircraft which is fast approaching. Phoebe reports that there is someone in the craft, but that they are blocking out their psychic probe. Celeste adds that there is someone else in there hurt and unconscious, too, while Mindee reports that their thoughts are scrambled, like they are in some sort of haze. Benjamin Deeds goes wide-eyed, while Fabio Medina a.k.a. Goldballs, Christopher Muse a.k.a. Triage and Eva Bell a.k.a. Tempus are also present on this clear day. Emma instructs the Stepford Cuckoos to “diamond up” and warns everyone else to brace for attack and to follow orders. The aircraft reaches ever closer, and comes to a stop on the ground nearby. The cockpit opens and a bald man can be seen sitting at the controls. 'Uh, Miss Frost?' Benjamin asks. 'On my order, and not before' Emma declares, before gasping 'MAGNETO!' as she sees who the pilot is. Magneto pulls an unconscious blonde woman from the craft. 'She needs help! Boy! Healer! To me, now!' Magneto orders.
Triage rushes over as Magneto places Alison “Dazzler” Blaire on the ground, and the others gather around, as Emma asks 'What happened to her?' 'Mystique happened to her' Magneto reports. 'Dear God...' Emma utters, while Magneto tells Emma that it is worse than she thinks, as the mutant has fallen prey to her darker instincts, maybe worse than she or he in their more notorious days.
'Who is this?' Triage enquires. 'No talk. Heal' Magneto responds. 'I'm healing, I'm healing' Triage replies as he places his hands to Dazzler's face. 'What's happening?' Mindee asks. Triage announces that something is wrong, to which Celeste suggests they need to get her to a hospital. 'Shhh....' Triage tells everyone. Holding his hands to Dazzler's face, he concentrates hard, and suddenly, Dazzler opens her eyes and mouth in horror, and sits up.
'Are you okay, Dazzler?' Emma asks. 'Okay? Am I okay? Mystique kidnapped me and replaced me in my world. And she used my mutant DNA to synthesize MGH to fund her Madripoor operations. And she's still out there. Am I okay?' Dazzler snaps back, before turning to Magneto and telling him that he saved her life. 'Catch your breath. You've been through a lot' Magneto points out, and as Dazzler stands up, Emma tells her to take it easy. 'Get me a Walkman!' Dazzler declares. 'A what?' Tempus asks. 'Music! I need music!' Dazzler announces. 'What kind of music?' Benjamin enquires. 'Really. Loud. Music' Dazzler replies.
Meanwhile, in Westchester, New York, a car comes to a screeching halt down a busy street, 'What is that?' the driver asks as he gets out of his car and looks to the sky. 'I think this is it' a woman remarks. 'It looks like SHIELD is finally here for the X-Men' the woman points out as everyone looks at the SHIELD Helicarrier, while a storm rages in the sky nearby. 'Day-um. Well, we knew this day would come' the man remarks. 'Yeah, uh, I think we should all get inside' the woman suggests. People start moving into stores, and the man agrees. He turns back to his car, and finds that it is gone – and the driver – unbeknowst to him is David Bond a.k.a. Hijack – is already down the end of the street, driving towards the Jean Grey School.
At that very moment, rain pours down over the Jean Grey School, as the SHIELD Helicarrier fires uncontrolably at the school below. Storm, Firestar and Kid Gladiator fly towards the Helicarrier, while Iceman throws up and ice-shield, which is immediately blasted down by weapons fire from the Helicarrier. Quentin Quire, Surge and Broo are near Maria Hill as she taps her communicator and asks to be connected to the White House Situation Room and Avengers Tower, announcing that the Jean Grey School is under attack by commandeered SHIELD Helicarriers. Maria repeats her message, stating that SHIELD has been compromised and that the Helicarriers are not in their control. 'Inform the Avengers and the White House – SHIELD Helicarriers have been hijacked!' Maria exclaims, adding that the Jean Grey School faculty has tried to get their students to safety, but some have stayed to fight and protect their school.
'Evacuate the School! I know who is behind this. Please, this is Hank McCoy. The School is about to be destroyed and there is nothing we can do about it' the Beast announces over an intercom, while, at another location, someone in a space suit is monitoring the situation on consoles. 'Say it, Doctor. Go ahead... tell them who is about to rip their world apart' they remark, while, aboard the Helicarrier, a female SHIELD agent calls out to whoever can hear her that the ship is not under SHIELD's control. Back outside, 'All hands, this is Commander Maria Hill! The Helicarriers have been compromised!' Maria exclaims as the ground around her is blown up. 'Abandon ship, I repeat – abandon ship!' Maria orders. She turns to where the phony Dazzler – Mystique in disguise – lurks away from the battle field. 'Agent Dazzler, I need you to help get the Jean Grey students to safety and then I need you to -' Maria calls out, but “Dazzler” responds just by walking away from her. 'Agent Dazzler! Agent Dazzler!' Maria exclaims. 'Helicarrier, follow my orders now! And if you see Agent Dazzler, shoot her on site!' Maria declares.
'And with that... it seems like it's time to bring this to a brilliant conclusion. Wake Scott Summers up, Henry... this is for him' the mysterious foe in the space suit utters from their secret location. In the Helicarrier, the female agent looks horrified as the red nuclear symbol on her console lights up.  'Oh my God. Commander! Our payload is active! We've just gone nuclear!' she reports. 'Oh my God' Maria utters. 'What now?' Iceman snaps as he slides past her. 'Oh, dear Lord...' the Beast utters from his laboratory, and outside, the Helicarrier fires more shots, creating massive explosions below as the weapons fire impacts with the ground, while several Sentinels suddenly appear in the sky above, with smaller Sentinels being deployed from the larger ones. Storm looks on in shock, while Maria and several agents near her stare up at the sky. 'Sentinels? Sentinels and Helicarriers?' Iceman asks, while Firestar goes wide-eyed. 'Come on!' Quentin Quire shouts, while in his lab, the Beast looks solemnly at his screen depicting the events outside.
The smaller Sentinels land on the ground, several feet from the X-Men, Maria Hill and several agents. 'Get the students out of here!' Storm commands, while Firestar asks 'Um...what are these Sentinels doing?' 'Why aren't they attacking and killing us?' Quentin enquires. 'Yeah, that's a good question' Maria agrees, before opening fire on one of the Sentinels, which falls backwards to the ground. 'Attack!' the mysterious foe shouts as they watch their monitors. 'Why are they not attacking?' the foe wonders, tapping at some keys at the console before them.
Aboard the Helicarrier, the agents get a surprise when the nuclear symbol on their console switches from red to green. 'You see this, right? Tell me you see this!' the blonde female agent exclaims, before informing Commander Hill that something has taken over the Helicarriers from the thing that had originally taken over the Helicarriers. 'Make sure the students are in the bunker!' Storm calls out to someone, while Maria asks 'You're saying whoever took control of the Helicarriers just lost control of the Helicarriers?' causing Quentin Quire to frown and ask 'What kind of joint are you running here?'
The Helicarrier opens fire on the Sentinels, striking several of the larger ones at close range. 'NO! How?' the mysterious foe wonders from their secret location.
At that moment, Cyclops, the Beast and Magik emerge from one of the school buildings, 'Oh my God' Cyclops utters, while the Beast wonders who is controlling the Helicarriers now. Cyclops reports that there is only one mutant he knows who can do that. 'HIJACK!' Cyclops exclaims as he sees the young mutant standing atop a pile of rubble, looking up at the Helicarriers. 'And to think, I was just coming to see if I could enrol here. This better get me a scholarship!' Hijack jokes.
Maria sees this and mutters 'Okay, so now we have a new “too powerful for the world” mutant to worry about, to which Iceman tells her that he thinks the words she is looking for are “thank God for the new too powerful mutant”!'
At the unknown location, the mysterious foe screams 'NOOO!' and slams their fists into the console.
'X-Men, back up Hijack! Protect him!' Cyclops orders. 'Who?' Quentin Quire asks. 'No, Scott, you come with me!' the Beast tells his former teammate. 'What?' Cyclops asks. The Beast reports that he knows who is doing this, and where they are. 'The reason your powers weren't under your control is because you were infected with Nanotech Sentinels' the Beast reveals. 'What?' Cyclops asks, while Magik demands to know who did this and that they be shown to her. The rain continues to pour down, and the Beast explains that it is advanced tech, years ahead of where they are now, but definitely where it is going. He reports that he shut them down in Scott's system, but that he can look forward to some nasty diarrhea. He adds that it had a very potent signature and that he has traced it back to its owner. 'And I know who it is and where they are' the Beast announces. 'Show me!' Magik shouts, but Cyclops tells her that they need backup. 'But -' Magik starts to protect, until Cyclops tells her to get everyone and get back here. 'Who? Who is it?' Cyclops then asks the Beast.
Back at the New Charles Xavier School: 'Where are we going now, Miss Frost?' Benjamin Deeds asks as the students follow Emma, Magneto and Dazzler down a corridor. 'We are going to find and help Scott Summers and Illyana' Emma replies. Magneto announces that he shall join them. Yeah, you shall, Magneto' Emma replies, adding that they need both him and Dazzler. 'Are you up for this?' Emma asks Dazzler, who replies 'That's all I am'. Suddenly, Magik appears. 'And now Magik, appearing out of nowhere' Emma remarks. 'Oh good, Magneto, Dazzler... we need all the help we can get' Magik points out. 'What is it?' Emma asks her. 'SHIELD versus the X-Men. Come with me. Everyone ready?' Magik responds. 'Yes! Go! Now!' Emma declares.
An instant later: 'Geez, a little warning!' one of the students calls out, as they find themselves on the lawn of the Jean Grey School, amongst the battle. 'Really' someone else utters, while Triage asks if anyone is hurt, announcing that he is a healer.
At the unknown location, the mysterious foe decides that they were greedy and impatient, but they don't have time to start over. 'I should have listened to my better nature and just dropped an atomic bomb on the front lawn of that nightmare' they tell themselves. 'But that's not what you wanted...you wanted us to find you' the Beast points out as he and Cyclops appear in the room, and Cyclops fires a close-range optic blast at the mysterious foe, who galls to the ground, the space suit they are wearing damaged. 'You wouldn't just kill us because you wanted to see...' the Beast begins. 'My God...' Cyclops utters, as the Beast tells him that his original guess that it was he who brought this nightmare upon them was not that far off. 'It is me' the Beast points out, as the space suit's head covering is broken, revealing the foe. 'Oh, it's that Dark Beast from the Age of Apocalypse' Cyclops realizes. 'Yes' the Beast confirms. 'There are far too many versions of us running around' Cyclops mutters. 'Yes' the Beast agrees.
'I agree, Summers. Help out and kill yourself' the Dark Beast suggests. Cyclops leans over him and declares 'You infiltrated SHIELD tech, you built and perfected all these Sentinels to attack us, you tried to turn the world against us even more than they already are... why?' to which the Dark Beast replies 'Because I hate you. I hate you almost as much as you hate yourself'
The Dark Beast starts to cough, and Cyclops asks the Beast what is wrong with the Dark Beast. 'He's dying. Look at him... he's experimented on himself. Probably one time too many' the Beast points out as the Dark Beast indeed appears to have skin deformities. The Dark Beast reveals that the suit was keeping him alive. 'Scott Summers killed me... because you... brought him here' the Dark Beast announces. 'You killed... yourself...Henry. So symbolic...so... inevitable'.
Cyclops tells Hank that he is sorry. 'I'm torn, frankly' the Beast replies, while Cyclops comments that it is amazing how the Dark Beast hid himself into the bowels of an abandoned Helicarrier here. 'Wait...' the Beast begins, as they see a screen in front of them start to count down. 'Magik! Hijack! My location!' Cyclops shouts through his communicator, and immediately, the two teleport into the abandoned Helicarrier. 'What?' Hijack asks. 'That!' Cyclops exclaims. 'The counting down thing?' Hijack enquires. 'YES!' Cyclops shouts as the number reaches seven seconds. 'Oh, #$%&!' Hijack declares, before waving his hands around.
And soon, back at the Jean Grey School, Cyclops, the Beast, Magik and Hijack have returned, with the Dark Beast. Cyclops's students gather around while Maria Hill announces that she wants the entire property taped off, she wants all the students and faculty accounted for and wants the Helicarriers decomissioned immediately.
'It's over' Cyclops reports. 'That looks a lot like a dead, older you, Dr McCoy' Maria points out as she looks down at the Dark Beast. 'It is' the Beast replies. 'See, this is what happens when you mutants use space and time as your own personal playground, you guys just do whatever you -' Maria begins, before Cyclops interrupts, informing Maria that he will do everything in his power to fix what has been broken and put this right. He adds that nothing she can say will make him feel any worse about what has happened today than he already does. Maria tells everyone that they will all cooperate with SHIELD's investigation. 'You can investigate all you want, Lady. This happened on your watch' Cyclops points out. 'Yup' Tempus agrees. Cyclops reminds Maria that this happened on one of her ships, that the Dark Beast used her technology to attack this school and his team. 'Yeah, but one of you did this' Maria remarks.

'You're supposed to protect the world' Cyclops tells Maria. 'That's your job! Look around... did you?' Cyclops asks. 'What about me?' Dazzler enquires. 'You are under arrest' Maria announces. 'For being kidnapped by Mystique?' Dazzler asks. 'Where is she? Where is Mystique?' Magneto asks, before telling the SHIELD agents who aim their weapons at him to cool it with the guns. 'Kidnappped?' Maria asks. 'Yes!' Dazzler replies. 'So that wasn't you?' Maria enquires, while Dazzler asks where Mystique is. 'She, oh damn it, she ran away. We'll get a team on it ASAP' Maria reports. 'She kidnapped me in the Helicarrier. Where is she?' Dazzler demands. Maria calls her “Agent” and tells her to stand down. 'Agent?' Dazzler responds. 'You are still an Agent of SHIELD. You need to be debriefed and you -' Maria begins. 'You've got to be kidding me (Agent of SHIELD)' Dazzler replies, asking 'When I needed help, who was there for me? All this did was remind me who I really am... I am an X-Man' Dazzler exclaims as she walks away from Maria Hill. 'Mystique. Playing us against you. Setting us up to be compromised this badly. I think we need to change the rules on how we deal with all this. Starting now.' Maria announces, before asking Magneto 'Would you mind'.
The SHIELD agents who are holding weapons suddenly find their weapons falling to their feet, while the Beast, Storm, Iceman and Rachel Grey stand nearby. 'Time to get to work' Maria tells everyone and as the SHIELD agents start to pick up the damaged Sentinels, Iceman announces that he is not cleaning this up. 'I'll tell you that right now'.

Last Year
The Battery, Charleston, South Carolina:
a woman storms down the front steps of a large house, while a red-haired man follows her. 'Matthew, you promised me, you said the words. You were not going to bring your computer on this trip!' the woman shouts. Matthew calls the woman Jules and reminds her that he didn't promise. She asked him not to bring it, but he needed to. 'Completely missing the point of the bed-and-breakfast' Jules tells him as she starts to walk along the sidewalk. 'You go to sleep at 9 PM. You crash every night. When you sleep, I will check my mail. But right now? Look, no computer, no phone, you have my full, undivided attention' Matthew points out. Jules turns back and tells Matthew that the point is that he said he was not going to bring it. Matthew replies that if this is a conversation they are going to have, then he doesn't want to go on this walk. 'You're choosing to ruin a lovely evening away from the kid' Matthew adds. 'I'm choosing?!' Jules retorts.
'Oh my God, please!' Matthew exclaims, while Jules tells him that the computer is a symbol of a larger problem. 'Oh my God' Matthew repeats himself. 'You say you're going to do one thing and then you just decide -' Jules begins, when suddenly, she is struck with green energy and vaporized.
Matthew turns around to see that the bed and breakfast behind him explodes after being fired at, and a large ship hovers overhead, while green weapons fire darts through the air around him. Someone walking nearby is also struck by the green weapons fire, and Matthew looks over to the rubble of the bed and breakfast to see an alien Skrull pointing his weapon towards him. Matthew looks scared. The Skrull grits his teeth, and Matthew goes wide-eyed, however, before the Skrull can fire at him, the Skrull's head is blown off. Matthew looks around at the fires now raging around him, and sees that the large ship overhead has fallen into the rubble of the bed and breakfast, while a voice is projected from another nearby ship: 'Citizens, this is SHIELD Command. We are under Skrull attack. Please stay in your homes. Do not trust anyone!' And Matthew just looks around, forlorn.
Today
The New York law firm of Jennifer Walters, the She-Hulk:
Jen sits at her desk, tapping away at her laptop, while speaking on the phone. Her receptionist, Angie Haung, and her monkey Hei Hei sit at a desk across the room. 'This is Jennifer Walters... no, Mr Lowe, you don't have to prove damages, you see?' Jennifer explains, adding that you can't just go into court and say that you made a huge mistake and that Spider-Man annoys you. 'You have to have been – hold on' Jennnifer begins, before noticing a website that has an image of her trying to block a photographer, while an insert has a headshot of a smiling Hercules. 'No. No. I'm here' She-Hulk tells Mr Lowe, before suggesting he take a breath, think about it, and if he still wants to pursue this course of action, of course he can come to her office. 'Listen, I certainly don't mind billing you the hours... it's just I want you to get your money's worth' She-Hulk explains, while a delivery man enters her office, and hands her a small package. 'And how are you today? Good? Great. Me, too. Just peachy' She-Hulk remarks to the delivery man who doesn't answer her. She-Hulk opens the package, and goes wide-eyed.
Madripoor, currently a haven for mutantkind, teeming with mutants going about their lives: Dragoness soars between the skyscrapers, while down on the street, Mindblast, Bliss, Kylun, Outlaw and Razorback can be seen amongst the crowds. 'Dazzler, Mystique is not here. If she is half as smart as we know she is... she is anywhere but on this island' Magneto remarks to Dazzler as they, along with Magik and Emma Frost search for their foe. 'This is her version of a mutant paradise.. .but she knows that we, and SHIELD, are looking for her now' Magneto reminds everyone. Emma adds that if Mystique is here, pesky shapeshifters are hard to point out in a crowd.
'So I should just give up? Is that your professional opinion, Miss Frost?' Dazzler asks, annoyed. Wearing her SHIELD costume, she turns to the other three, as Emma tells Dazzler to be angry, that she should be angry, because Mystique kidnapped her, impersonated her and made Mutant Growth Hormone from her. 'We're here because we want to watch you beat the blue off of her' Emma adds.
Dazzler turns away, so Magik goes over to her and remarks that she can work some spells and reveal someone's true form, but that they would at least have to know if she was in the vicinity. Dazzler turns back to the X-Men, annoyed, light glows around her, which she releases in a rage, causing them to block their eyes. Dazzler collapses to the ground, the last glimmer of light dancing around her.
The secret location of the New Xavier School, where Kitty Pryde is outside in the snow, overseeing a training exercise that her charges, the original X-Men from the past – Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel and Beast – are undertaking with X-23.
Inside, Cyclops stares at a large projected map of the world, with bright lights popping up in various cities across the planet. He hangs his head, and remembers being empowered by the Phoenix Force, while Charles Xavier called out to him 'Scott... look around  you. I'm begging you, son, stop this now'. Cyclops replied 'You are not my father'. Cyclops turns his head, but the memory still haunts him, as Charles raised his voice, 'THAT IS ENOUGH!' he shouted – and Cyclops responded by murdering Charles Xavier.
'Professor?' a voice calls out. 'Are you all right?' Tempus asks as she approaches Cyclops, who seemingly wipes a tear away from under his ruby quartz glasses. 'I'm fine, Ms Bell' Cyclops tells the younger mutant, who asks him if he is sure. Cyclops reminds Tempus that their last “adventure” had him infected with Nanotech Sentinels, and although they have been purged from his system, it has left him feeling a little flush. 'Nanotech? So like really small?' Tempus asks. 'Yes' Cyclops tells her. 'Crazy' Tempus remarks. 'Yes' Cyclops agrees, before Tempus asks him if she can get him something.
'Have you mustered up the courage to tell me what has happened to you?' Cyclops asks. Tempus goes wide-eyed, 'Um – that's not -' she begins, to which Cyclops tells Tempus that she has aged years in the weeks that they have known each other. 'I just – I'm not aging' Tempus replies. 'I know what has happpened to you' Cyclops claims, before informing Tempus that the Stepford Sisters read her mind, and they told him. 'Why would they do that?' Tempus asks, turning away from Cyclops, who tells her that they were scared for her, and thought she needed help. 'This was them trying to help you' Cyclops explains. 'So if you know what happened to me -' Tempus begins. 'I was waiting for you to muster up the courage to ask for help' Cyclops replies. Angrily, Tempus tells Cyclops that ever since she met him she has heard all the stories about how polarizing he is, how people hate him, and she couldn't for the life of her figure out what they were talking about, because she thought he was probably the most interesting person she has ever met. 'Until now. Now I see exactly why you annoy people' Tempus declares, before turning and storming away. 'Eva, sit -' Cyclops begins, until he tells himself that yelling after them never works.
Meanwhile, She-Hulk has arrived at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning in Westchester County. 'Good Lord...' she utters as she stares out at the destruction around her.  '...what happened here?' She-Hulk asks as X-Men Storm, Beast, Iceman, Pixie and Rachel Grey, along with Armor and Rockslide and several SHIELD agents are cleaning up the damage. 'Hey, Lady Hulk. You missed all the fun' Iceman remarks as he slides over to She-Hulk. 'We could have used you yesterday' the Beast calls out, while She-Hulk asks if everyone is all right. Storm, Iceman and the Beast gather around She-Hulk, as Iceman begins 'Considering someone hijacked SHIELD then used their Sentinel technology to attack us at our home...' his voice trails off, while the Beast assures She-Hulk that everyone is fine. She-Hulk enquires as to who is in charge of the school now, and Storm reports that it is she. 'Well then, Storm, we need to talk' She-Hulk frowns. 'Are we in trouble, counsellor?' Storm asks. She-Hulk holds up a mobile device with a list on it and reports 'We need to gather the following people for the reading...'. 'Reading of what?' the Beast asks. 'The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier' She-Hulk replies. Storm, Iceman and the Beast go wide-eyed in shock, while Pixie, Rachel and Armor all stop what they are doing and look over to the others.
Back at the New Xavier School, the Stepford Sisters, Benjamin Deeds, Goldballs, Triage and Hijack are gathered around a large table. 'And they are back' Benjamin calls out as Magik teleports herself, Emma, Dazzler and Magneto into the room. 'How did it go?' Mindee asks. 'Does anyone need healing?' Triage enquires. Emma replies that everyone is in one piece, physically. Cyclops enters the room and calls out 'I take it the hunt was a wash-out'. Dazzler starts to walk away from the group, while Emma remarks that it will be a year before they even get a whiff of Mystique, adding that she has all the money in the world, and is a shape-shifter with a sliding scale morality, so she could literally be anywhere or anyone. Magik adds that Mystique won't be found until she wants to be found. 'And Alison?' Cyclops asks as he sees Dazzler walk up some stairs out of the meeting room. Emma tells him to leave her be. Magneto reports that she is in a fragile state, so they need to be careful with her. 'Is she joining us?' Cyclops enquires. 'Hasn't said' Magik repies. 'Should I talk to her?' Cyclops asks, to which Emma and Magik both exclaim 'No' in unison.
Emma suggests to Cyclops that he go talk to, thank and welcome back their long-lost student Hijack, whom he rudely kicked off the team. 'Have you done that?' she asks him. 'No' Cyclops replies. 'Why don't you do that, then?' Emma tells him, suggesting that he show the students what it looks like when he admits that he was wrong about something. Cyclops turns to Magneto and asks him if he is staying or if he is going to disappear and do whatever the hell it is he does when he is not here. 'Deal with your students, Mr Summers' Magneto replies as he walks away. Cyclops walks towards Hijack and addresses him. 'Oh, you do see me?' Hijack replies, adding that he thought invisibility was added to his power set. 'I kicked you off the team because -' Cyclops begins, but Hijack interrupts him, remarking that he knows why he was kicked off the team, and that Cyclops was right. 'I was – this is a pattern with me. I do whatever the hell I want and – I'm shocked when my life isn't what I hoped it would be' he explains, adding that Cyclops was right. 'But, and please hear me... you were also right to invite me in the first place. I want in' Hijack announces, adding that if it isn't here, then he will go to that other school that isn't hidden in the Canadian woods or wherever the hell they are.
'Stop. You saved our lives without even the slightest hesitation... you pushed yourself and your powers and you revealed a sophistication that is both promising and a little scary' Cyclops announces. 'You mean I'm more powerful than both of us thought I was? Yeah? Well, I'm more than a little scared' Hijack admits. Cyclops extends a hand and asks Hijack to accept his invitation to rejoin this group. 'Hell yeah. I need your help' Hijack smiles as he and Cyclops shake hands. 'And we need yours. Welcome back, X-Man' Cyclops smiles.
'That's a lovely moment...' Celeste begins. 'Be nice' Emma tells her charge, before Celeste asks who is going to deal with the pop star having a mental breakdown in the bathroom?
Inside the large bathroom, Dazzler stares into a mirror. Her eyes are dirty with mascara-stained tears. She frowns at the image staring back at her – a proud Dazzler, Agent of SHIELD. She scowls, and sees another image, famous pop star Dazzler, and narrows her eyes. Another image, of Dazzler  in her classic silver jumpsuit, and another image still, of performing on stage. She hangs her head, then glances over at some scissors on the sink. She steps back slightly from the basin, then looks up at the mirror, the wretched image of herself staring back.
And, in Newberry, California, a red-haired man walks down a sidewalk, past a grocery store, when someone calls out to him: 'Matthew?' 'Um -' Matthew begins, hands in pockets. 'It's me... Alana' the woman smiles as she approaches him. 'I know' Matthew replies. 'How are you? Are you living here now? Jeff and I – we just moved here' Alana reveals. 'Um...' Matthew begins. Alana tells Matthew that she was really hoping he would keep in touch. 'Yeah -' Matthew begins, turning away as Alana takes him by his arm. 'I called' Alanda adds. 'I know, I just didn't -' Matthew starts to reply, as Alana states 'She was my sister. That makes you my brother no matter what. You know?' But Matthew doesn't look at Alana and tells her that he doesn't want to talk about this. 'You just disappeared' Alanda points out. 'It was good seeing you' Matthew states. 'No. No, Matthew, I just want to talk to you' Alanda calls out. Matthew asks her to leave him alone, but Alana tells him that this isn't right, and that he needs to talk to her. 'I said no!' Matthew shouts, when suddenly, energy radiates from him seemingly destroying everything around him, he looks on in shock.
Back at the Jean Grey School:
'So, what's in the will?' Iceman asks. 'First thing's first, Bobby...' She-Hulk replies, and soon, they go into an office, where She-Hulk sits at a desk, and tells the X-Men that she knows this is a delicate question and one she would not normally have to ask, but that they are the X-Men and they don't do normal. 'It appears not' the Beast remarks, before She-Hulk asks, to the best of their knowledge, if Xavier is really dead. 'I only ask because we both know that “dead” and “dead” dead...' her voice trails off, as Storm and the Beast look at each other, and Storm reports that Charles is gone. 'It's a valid question, though' the Beast admits. 'Valid question?' Storm asks. 'Legally speaking' the Beast points out. Iceman tells She-Hulk to just read this thing so they can get on with their lives. 'I hate this kind of stuff. I just hate it' he complains. She-Hulk informs the X-Men that it stipulates that everyone named in the will be present for the reading of the will. 'Of course' the Beast tells her. 'No' Storm utters, covering her face. 'Who?' Iceman asks. 'Scott Summers' She-Hulk announces, asking the X-Men if they know where he is – because they really need him here – right now!

The Jean Grey School for gifted Youngsters:
'Bobby? Bobby? Did you hear me?' Storm asks. 'Are you all right?' the Beast asks his friend while the She-Hulk sits at a desk nearby. 'You know what we X-Men are really good at? We're really good at keeping ourselves super busy so we don't have time to mourn our losses. Charles Xavier is gone. Charles Xavier. And we sit in the house he built for us and we just keep on keeping on. We....' Bobby's voice trails off as he gets up and leaves the room. An instant later, he exits the campus on an ice-slide that extends up into the air.
'So, um, as I was saying... Scott Summers. Do you guys happen to know where he is?' She-Hulk asks the others. 'I do' a voice calls out. 'Henry? You do? Since when?' Storm asks, shocked. 'Of course I do, Ororo. I have mutant-finding Cerebro technology that I helped invent. I calibrated it to look for people who were hiding from it. He can hide from the world but he can't hide from me' the Beast declares. Storm reminds the Beast that Cyclops is a fugitive from justice and at least partly responsible for the murder of Charles Xavier. She tells the Beast that he hates him now, he has made it abundantly clear. 'And now you tell me you know where he is and you never did anything about it or told us because...' Storm's voice trails off.
'...because I don't want to look at him. I don't want any more of my life dictated by the actions of that man' the Beast explains, adding 'I don't want my life to be his life'. Storm goes silent, and the Beast stops talking, before asking 'Is that so hard to understand? Do any of you – do you have anyone in your life like that, Ms Walters?' he asks the She-Hulk. 'Do you have someone in your life that you just do not want?'
'I don't know...' She-Hulk starts to reply, before Firestar and Nightcrawler enter the office. 'Hey, guys, what's going on? Where'd Bobby go?' Firestar asks. 'And what is this tall, green, lovely vision doing here?' Nightcrawler enquires as he goes over to She-Hulk and kisses her hand. 'Oh, Kurt, you say that to all the Hulks' She-Hulk jokes. Storm asks the others if they were aware that the Beast knows where Cyclops's secret mutant training camp is. 'I was. But I'm psychic and I'm nosy' Rachel Grey admits as she enters the room. 'Oh. That's – you have Xavier's will' Rachel remarks as she sees She-Hulk, who replies 'Please don't read my mind, Miss Summers'. 'Xavier's will? What does it say?' Nightcrawler enquires. She-Hulk announces that she hasn't read it yet. 'But it stipulates that the following people be present...' she begins, while Firestar asks 'What could be in it?'
'Wolverine owns the school property' Storm announces. 'Actually, that ain't true' Wolverine reveals as he appears, standing in the doorway, can of beer in hand. 'Logan. Where have you been?' Storm asks. 'Where I go' Wolverine responds. 'What do you mean? You no longer own the property to the school?' the Beast asks. Wolverine explains that it happened a while back, when he wasn't so sure things were going his way, he signed it all back over to Xavier – just in case.
'And in that document – that will tell us who owns the school now?' Nightcrawler enquires. 'Goddess. It's Scott. Scott owns the school now' Storm utters. 'What?' Firestar asks. Storm explains that Xavier could never imagine that Cyclops, his first and brightest student, a virtual son, would be the man who killed him. 'Scott Summers killed Charles Xavier?' a horrified She-Hulk asks. Rachel tells her that it is complicated. 'No. It's not' the Beast frowns, while Rachel explains that Cyclops wasn't in control of himself – the Phoenix possessed him. 'I did not know that' She-Hulk admits. 'I still do not believe it' Nightcrawler remarks, 'And neither would Charles. He left the school to him. I guarantee it' Storm declares, while Firestar asks 'What does that mean for us?' Wolverine crushes the can of beer he has been drinking and announces that it means they are going to settle this thing with Summers once and for all.
She-Hulk gets to her feet and declares 'You are all, if I may, you are all presuming a lot. Get him here' She tells them to get all of the X-Men here, then they can read this and deal with the facts as they are. 'Just open the damn thing' Wolverine snarls, reaching out for the will, which She-Hulk pulls away from him. 'It's a dead man's wish, Logan' She-Hulk points out. The Beast frowns and announces that he will get Cyclops. 'So where is he?' Wolverine asks. 'He's in the old Weapon X facility' the Beast reveals. 'What?' Wolverine asks. 'In Northern Canada. Where you were made' the Beast explains. 'Last place I'd look. Son of a bitch is good' Wolverine smirks. 'I'm coming with. Anyone else?' Storm calls out. 'Me. Let's go. Let's get this over with' Iceman frowns as he re-enters the office.
Meanwhile, in Newberry, South Carolina, a red-haired man stands in a large crater as dust settles around him. Everything in a large circular radius has been destroyed – except for him. He stands wide-eyed, then look at his hands. He holds one hand out as if using some great power – but nothing happens. He looks at his hand again, then turns to some debris, where a can of spaghetti can be seen. He holds his hand out towards the can, but nothing happens again. 'I... I don't understand...' he utters to himself.
'What's your name?' a voice calls out. 'What – what is this?' the red-haired man asks as he looks up and sees a holographic projection of a woman's head, projected via some sort of high-tech device that has driven towards him. The woman introduces herself as Maria Hill, Commander of SHIELD. 'Do you know what that is? Do you understand me?' Hill enquires. 'Y-yes' the man replies. 'Who am I speaking to?' Maria asks again. 'You're – you're a robot?' the man asks. 'No. I'm a human person, but I'm speaking to you from a remote location. For safety reasons' Maria explains. 'And you are?' she asks once more. The man introduces himself as Matthew Molloy, to which Maria asks him if he created this situation. 'Situation?' Matthew asks, confused. 'Did you make this mess?' Maria enquires.
Matthew stands in the middle of the crater still and replies that he doesn't know. 'If you had to guess...' Maria begins. 'How – how could I have?' Matthew asks her. 'Do you have – are you a power?' Maria enquires. 'A power?' Matthew asks, shocked. 'Are you a mutant?' Maria asks. 'What is happening? What is happening?' Matthew shouts, putting his hands over his face. Maria tells Matthew that she needs him to calm down, she needs him to get a hold of himself. 'You're not in trouble, I just want to talk -' Maria assures Matthew, who puts his hands over his ears and asks 'Did I kill these people? There were people!' Maria asks him if he has done anything like this before, to which a wide-eyed Matthew shouts 'What did I do? What is happening to me?' 'Move in' Maria orders, and Matthew turns around to see several heavily-armored SHIELD agents moving down the crater towards him. Maria tells Matthew that it would be wonderful if he would calmly sit down, but Matthew just goes wide-eyed once more, and again energy crackles from him and whips around the open space, striking each of the SHIELD agents. In her control center, Maria sees this on monitors, which all suddenly go dead with static. 'Uh-oh' Maria utters. 'We just lost all the agents on the ground!' a SHIELD officer calls out. 'All life signs are gone' another remarks. 'What am I?' Matthew wonders, looking at his hands.
The New Xavier School, where the Blackbird descends. 'Is that who I think it is?' the Iceman from the past asks as he looks up. 'Yes' Mindee Cuckoo tells him. 'Oh my stars and garters...' the Beast from the past utters. 'I thought they didn't know we were here' Marvel Girl remarks to Emma Frost, who replies 'It seems that was wishful thinking, Miss Grey...'
The ramp to the Blackbird opens and Storm, Iceman and the Beast appear. 'Sorry to intrude. But some of you are needed back at Westchester...' the Beast begins. 'It's important' Storm announces. Mindee, the past Beast and Iceman, Magik, Benjamin Deeds, Kitty Pryde, Phoebe, the past Marvel Girl, Emma Frost, Celeste, Dazzler, Hijack, Tempus, Goldballs and Triage stare back, before Dazzler, sporting her new punk look with short spiked black hair, a blue star over one eye and a torn, dark costume, folds her arms and frowns: 'So, you... found us'.
Inside the compound, 'Scott...' a voice calls out to Cyclops, who is sleeping in his quarters. 'Who is it?' Cyclops asks, sitting up in bed. 'It's me, Scott. Calm down' Storm tells him.Cyclops is surprised to see Storm, and he sits up, he finds Iceman, the Beast, Dazzler and Emma in his doorway. 'Nice place you got here' Storm remarks. 'Did you ironically put yourself in jail? Or subconsciously?' Iceman enquires. 'Subconsciously' the Beast remarks, before telling Cyclops that he probably wants to know what they are doing here. 'Get dressed, “Slim”. We'll be waiting outside'.
Shortly, Cyclops is dressed in his uniform, and stands with Kitty, Emma, Magik and Dazzler, while the students all stand behind them. 'I don't want any part of this' Cyclops states. 'You need to be there for the reading. All of you' Storm tells the other X-Men. 'Well, the ones of you we know' Iceman adds. 'I don't want anything from – I won't accept whatever he left me' Cyclops declares. 'How big of you' the Beast mutters, to which Cyclops frowns and tells the Beast that this would be in terrible taste, even for him.
Magik announces that she has already teleported back and forth to the Jean Grey School and states that She-Hulk is sitting there playing a game on her phone. 'It was off-puting' she remarks.
Marvel Girl tells the others that she can read their minds, and that it's not a trick. 'And they don't like you anymore' she adds.
The Beast frowns and motions to the ramp to the Blackbird. 'The old man's final request. We will gladly give you all a lift' he snaps. Cyclops frowns and replies that they will find their own way, adding 'I appreciate you making the trip out here'. The Beast, Storm and Iceman turn in silence and climb back into the Blackbird. Cyclops watches them leave, while, inside at the controls, Wolverine stares out the window and scowls at Cyclops, who stares back, 'Hold on, Illyana... they just waltzed in here, didn't they?' Cyclops remarks to his team. Marvel Girl announces that she would like to be there, too. 'As would I...' the Beast begins, while Celeste declares that she would pay money to watch this. 'No. Please respect my wishes on this. The students stay' Cyclops responds. Emma puts a hand on Scott's shoulder and tells him that she will go for him, that he doesn't have to do this.
'You know he left me the Jean Grey School, Emma. What am I supposed to do with it?' Cyclops asks. Magik turns to Kitty and remarks that this is going to be profoundly unpleasant. 'Or maybe this is that one time in the history of our history where everything is just chill and low key and -' Kitty starts to reply, until Magik says, 'Kitty, please'. 'I know. I couldn't even finish the sentence' Kitty sighs.
'Illyana...if you will...' Cyclops calls out, and Magik follows by casting her teleportation disk around Cyclops, Emma, Dazzler, Kitty and herself. They are gone within an instant. 'What if it's a trap and they never come back?' Hijack asks the other students. 'We'll have to repopulate the mutant race through procreation' Celeste replies. 'So let's all get to work' she tells the others. 'You guys are scaring me' Goldballs utters.
The Jean Grey School:
She-Hulk stands up and starts to read the will: 'I, Chalres Francis Xavier, of the town of Salem Center, County of Westchester and state of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills and codicils previously made by me. I declare that I am married as of the date of this will and that my wife's name is Raven Darkholme. I further declare that I have -'
She-Hulk is interrupted by blank expressions from the X-Men assembled before her – Firestar, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Magik, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Dazzler, Beast, Wolverine, Rachel Grey, Storm and Iceman – and Kitty exclaims 'Wait, what?' while Emma grins.
'Raven Darkholme... Raven Darkholme...how do I know that name?' She-Hulk asks. Emma bursts into hysterical laughter and exclaims that this is fantastic. 'Emma...' Cyclops begins, while Emma covers her eyes and declares that this is the best thing she has ever heard. 'Oh my god' she laughs. 'He married Mystique!' 'Oh, my God...' Dazzler remarks. 'Is this real?' Kitty asks. 'Wait, what is that?' the Beast asks, referring to a small token with the will.
'Yes, this was in with the will. What is this?' She-Hulk asks, holding the small device up. The Beast examines the device that She-Hulk puts down on the desk, and Iceman enquires 'What does that mean for us that he married Mystique?' Beast tells him to hold on, as the device is something. 'What is it?' Nightrawler asks. The Beast reports that he has seen it before, and that it is Shi'ar. He then presses the button, and a projection of Charles Xavier appears. He addresses his X-Men and remarks that if they are watching this, tthen he has passed on. He tells them to know that he whole-heartedly believes that he has lived his life in the best way possible, having dedicated so much of it to making sure that their people will see a better day. He adds that having his home filled with their love and courage has been a life well spent. 'I truly love you all. But as you all know, there have been moments of compromise that we have had to make. For me, one such compromise involves a mutant...' Xavier's voice trails off.
The projection of Xavier continues, explaining that the mutant is so powerful that their very existence threatened their way of life and any chance they would have had for a peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans. Both groups of X-Men listen, wide-eyed, as Xavier begins to say 'Now that I am gone, I have no choice but to leave this for you to handle...the story of how this came to be and what you now need to do is my darkest secret...'

[Assistant]
untitled
The Jean Grey School, where a holographic projection of Professor Charles Xavier has appeared before several X-Men from the two different factions. He tells them that he knows some of them hold him in a very high regard, and for that he is very humbled. He adds that it is because of this high regard that he knows what he is about to tell them will shock and maybe horrify some of them. He asks them to please hear him out until the end, and explain himself fully before they judge too harshly.
He reveals that it was many years ago in the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters' earliest days, he had finally come up with a working model for Cerebro, combining their mutant-seeking technology with his telepathic abilities was finally not just a theory, but a reality. At long last they could locate any mutant in need, or any mutant that would be a threat to man or to their cause of having mutants and humans living together in peace and harmony.
Xavier reveals that one day when the original X-Men were out on a mission, he was using Cerebro to attempt to keep tabs on Magneto and other such concerns, when a very unique signature appeared – something he had not seen before. It was most definitely a mutant signature but there was something different, something more powerful – at first Charles was worried that the machine was broken, that he had misused it – but it wasn't and he had not. It was the largest mutant power signature Cerebro had ever registered. He was immediately filled with such hope, such a thrill of discovery, but then, suddenly, a wave of panic washed over him and he couldn't breathe. Charles wondered what if Magneto found the mutant before him, what if he was already there? Charles couldn't get a hold of the X-Men, nor could he wait for them to return from their mission, he had to see this mutant for himself and get there before anybody else.
Charles tells the X-Men that one would think that he would be used to the fact that so many emerging mutants were so young, but this one was so powerful and so young. He seemed so ordinary. His name was Matthew Malloy and he was eight years old.
Flashback
The shadow of Charles Xavier in his wheelchair loomed over the young Matthew Malloy who is out the front of his house playing with some toys. The picket fence surrounding the house somewhat broken. 'Hello. My name is Charles Xavier. What is your name?' the Professor asks. 'No, thank you' Matthew replies without turning to look at the Professor. 'I'm sorry?' Charles asks. 'Stranger danger' Matthew declares, playing with his toy dinosaurs. 'And you are a total stranger' he adds.
Charles asks the boy if his parents are home, but Matthew tells him to shush, as the match is about to begin. Charles detects no thoughts coming from inside the house, so he asks the boy once more where his parents are, and if he can speak to them. 'On one side, the prehistoric super-species known as the Devil Dinosaur... and on the other side, all the terror of the mysterious Orient in the form of the mighty Fing Fang Foom!' Matthew exclaims, playing with the toys. Charles asks him what they are fighting for, and Matthew turns to face him, 'Domination' he explains. 'This is a belt tourna-. Wait, are you making my mind tickle?' the boy asks. Charles raises a hand, while Matthew exclaims 'This is a grudge match. This is for everything!' He slams his dinosaurs together, and energy starts to crackle around him. 'Matthew, you may want to -' Charles begins, before the energy blasts him backwards, out of his wheelchair and onto the pavement. If not for his mutant powers he would have died. Matthew looks across the broken-up ground and stares at the Professor, who looks back at the young mutant.
Present
The hologram of Professor X tells the X-Men that authorities arrived, but he was able to mentally manipulate them into fleeing the scene before they were accidentally hurt or killed – but he was unable to enter the boy's mind. He was unable to psychically suggest anything to him, unable to make him sleep or paralyze him, or any of the other ways his specific abilities are able to stop such chaos. Every time he tried, the boy would, almost on instinct, on reflex, erupt with this destructive power. It wasn't concussive or elemental, but something different, as if the world around him were being turned inside out and pushed outward. The best Charles was able to do was convince the boy's mind that he was no longer there, and even that made the boy somewhat agitated and suspicious – he knew something was wrong. Charles was at an impasse, this was the most difficult challenge he had ever faced – a young, destructive, out of control mutant.
Jennifer Walters the She-Hulk, sits a desk listening, while the X-Men gathered stare the holographic image of their mentor, who tells them that if the world found out there was an uncontrollable mutant of such horrible capabilities, their chances of finding peace within the human world would be impossible, and without understanding what he was, Charles could not help him control these abilities, but Matthew was so young that he was worried that even if he was able to figure this all out, the task of control for the young man would be too much for him to handle. Charles states that this was the humans' worst fear about mutants realized. 'What was I to do?' he asks. 'And if Magneto or any other negative influence had gotten a hold of him before I could figure it out...' Scott “Cyclops” Summers asks if there is a pause button on this hologram thing. 'I, uh, I think this does it' Hank McCoy a.k.a. The Beast replies as he presses the Shi'ar device Charles's image is being projected from.
Kitty Pryde tells Scott that she wants to hear the Professor's last words, to which Scott replies that he does as well, but that he needs a minute. 'I need to break... for just a second' Scott announcces as he leaves the office and walks past a reception desk where Doop is hovering.
'I am uncharacteristically agreeing with Scott. This is freaking me out' Bobby “Iceman” Drake admits. 'He's married to Mystique? Charles Xavier and Mystique are married?' Angelica “Firestar” Jones asks in shock. She-Hulk suggests to everyone that they take five. Get something to drink.
Storm a.k.a. Ororo Munroe follows Scott outside and asks him if he is wishing he hadn't killed Charles now. 'Stop it, Ororo' Cyclops replies. 'He married Mystique' Storm remarks. 'That was surprising' Cyclops replies, to which Storm points out that it explains why she has fallen so far off the rails since Charles died. 'What if he left the school to her?' Cyclops asks. 'I'd die on the front lawn before I let her step one foot in this school again' Storm declares. 'You won't have to. I'll never let it happen' Cyclops announces.
Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner stares out the window at Cyclops and Storm, he turns and smiles when he senses someone approach him. 'Katya' he declares. 'Elf' Kitty replies. They embrace, and Kurt tells Kitty that he misses her in these halls. Kitty shushes him, and the old friends continue to embrace.
Back in the office, Emma Frost and Rachel Grey appear to be having a discussion, while Iceman stands near Logan a.k.a. Wolverine. The Beast turns to Alison “Dazzler” Blaire. 'Alison' he remarks. 'Henry' Alison replies. Examining her new appearance, the Beast tells her 'That's a new look'. 'Look who's talking' Dazzler points out. The Beast asks Dazzler if this “new her” is about Mystique having attempted to take over her life. 'And everything that led up to it' Dazzler responds. The Beast asks Dazzler why she is working with Cyclops, and suggests she come back to this school. 'I'm – I'm just... I'm too angry to teach music appreciation' Dazzler claims. 'So you're joining his “revolution”?' the Beast enquires. Dazzler tells him that she needs a fight. 'You'll let me know when his revolution starts' the Beast states. 'Xavier married Mystique' Dazzler remarks. 'That was upsetting' the Beast confesses. Dazzler suggests that they might have kids, to which the Beast tells her that nothing would surprise him at his point. 'Mrs Xavier or not... I'm still going to kill her with my bare hands' Dazzler vows.
Those who left the office have returned, and She-Hulk suggests that unless somebody has a question, they should get back to it. 'Only one question? I have about 600' Wolverine announces. 'Me, too. But most of mine are a version of: Mystique?!' Iceman declares. Firestar asks if Mystique should be here, too, to which Dazzler asks 'Who says she isn't?  But Rachel Grey reports that she is not. Kitty suggests they let the Professor continue with his story. Nightcrawler remarks that he is enjoying hearing the Professor's voice again. 'It is nice' Cyclops agrees. The Beast presses the Shi'ar device, and the Professor resumes his dialogue.
'Was I to do? Let Magneto get his hands on this mutant power? Let this small child become a mass murderer?' The Professor declares that in the name of complete confession, he must admit the horrible thoughts that plagued him – that he thought about putting the child down. This child was an anomaly, not representative of their entire species. It is a thought that he never had about any of them, but, as he said, he had never been put in this position before. However, it was very clear that if Charles wasb to physically or mentally attack the boy and his power revealed itself to be even more than he originally thought, then he could start a chain reaction of damage, death and destruction that he could not live with. Xavier states that he could not control Matthew, could not overpower him, he would have to find a new way to communicate with him....
Flashback
Matthew Malloy is playing with his toys, when he suddenly turns to find a boy of a similar age standing several feet away on the broken ground. 'Hey...' Matthew calls out. 'Hey' the boy replies, holding a large toy robot. 'You live there?' Matt asks. 'No, just visiting. My uncle lives here. I'm Charlie' the new boy replies, introducing himself. 'I'm Matty' Matthew replies, before asking 'What's that?' Charlie holds the toy up and explains that it is a Monsteroso. 'Where did you get that?' Matthew enquires. 'From Japan' Charlie reveals. 'That is awesome' Matthew declares. Charlie tells him that Japan has crazy cool toys and asks if he wants to see it. 'Hell yeah' Matthew replies as Charlie hands him the toy, boasting that, at home, he has a Goom, a Zzuta and a Thorg. 'I'm crazy jealous. That is insane' Matthew grins as he examines the Monsteroso. Charlie asks Matty if he is hungry, and holds up some french fries, claiming that they gave him extra at the food court. 'Oh, man. I am' Matty replies. Charlie hands them to Matthew, who asks 'For real?' Charlie tells him that he is full, and that they turn to rubber if you don't eat them real fast. 'You're the best. I haven't eaten' Matthew declares. 'I can tell' Charlie replies, before asking Matty where his Mom and Dad are.
'You know, I don't know. It's weird...' Matthew starts to reply. 'You're just here by yourself?' Charlie asks. 'I wasn't' Matthew responds. Charlie looks at Matthew's house which is all busted up, and half demolished and asks him why it is all messed up. 'Um... you want to see something cool?' Matthew replies. He picks up two of his toys and bangs them together – energy crackles around him and the landscape is once again broken up. 'Charlie? Oh no! Charlie?' Matthew calls out as he sees that Charlie has fallen to the ground. He rushes over to Charlie, who sits up and asks 'What did you do?' Matthew sniffs and replies 'Oh God. I thought – I thought I did it again...' his voice trails off. 'How did you do that?' Charlie enquires. Matthew tells him that he doesn't know, so Charlie asks him if he did that with his mind. 'I don't know' Matthew replies, to which Charlie asks him not to do that again without warning. 'I can't always – I can't always -' Matthew begins, concluding that he doesn't know how it works. 'Is that why everything around here is so messed up?' Charlie asks. 'I – I think so' Matthew tells him. 'Do your parents know?' Charlie enquires.
Matthew reveals that he thinks he might have killed them. 'Whoa...' Charlie utters. Matthew hangs his head as he reveals that they were yelling at him and then they just disappeared. He thought they would come back. 'Are they coming back?' Charlie  asks. Matthew tells him that he doesn't know. 'I don't know what to do. What's happening to me?' Matthew asks. Charlie asks him if he knows what a mutant is, to which Matthew replies that he doesn't. Charlie informs Mattew that a mutannt is somebody born different, somebody who can do things normal people can't. Matthew says that he doesn't want to hurt anybody, and not anybody else. 'You didn't do it on purpose' Charlie points out as he takes Matthew's hand. They hug, and Matthew asks 'What happens if I do it again?'
Present
The holographic projection of Charles Xavier reports that he was able, using this younger avatar of himself, to psychically ingratiate himself to young Matthew, was able to get him to understand what needed to be done, and though it went against everything he believed as an educator, as a doctor, as a mutant and as a man, he used his powers to slowly and carefully take away Matthew's ability to access his own powers. Charles explains that now he had Matthew's friendship, he was in the position to carefully, gently, precisely put up a series of psychic blocks that removed Matthew's ability to tap into this power. He adds that he also did the young man the courtesy of letting him forget any of this had ever happened, and removed every memory of the lives he had taken and the destruction he had caused. 'As far as the world was concerned, this young boy's parents ran away and never came back' Charles states, as the X-Men listen intently. Charles continues, explaining that he helped place Matthew in a very reputable orphanage that an old colleague of his from university was in charge of. 'I took away his rights as a mutant. I took away his identity as one of us'.
Charles continues, stating that, to save the world, for lack of a better word, he lobotomized the young man. Cyclops frowns. Iceman covers his mouth. Storm does not look impressed, while Nightcrawler narrows his eyes. 'I know some of you will be quite confused and angry at me because this does fly in the face of everything I taught you. But that is how dire the situation was for the young boy and all of us' Charles announces. He promises the X-Men that there was no other choice. 'But still you may ask yourselves... why I didn't just dampen his powers? Just enough to bring him to our school?'
Magik a.k.a. Illyana Rasputin stands in the shadows of the office, while Firestar goes wide-eyed. Wolverine stares at the projection of the Professor as he explains that Matthew was more power than he had ever faced, he feared the worst and acted accordingly. Emma Frost hangs her head, while Charles asks 'Why didn't I turn him over to SHIELD or the Avengers?' Because I didn't trust them. Not Tony Stark, Not Captain America. None of them would help me' Charles declares, while Cyclops listens intently. Charles adds that they would imprison him, starting a chain of events that would bring chaos and destruction.
'And this isn't conjecture, I can read their thoughts. They would not help him or us' Charles states. The Beast's expression remains stoic, while Iceman goes wide-eyed, bringing his hand away from his mouth. 'Not yet. They had a long way to go before they truly saw mutants as anything but something to keep an eye on' Charles points out. Wolverine closes his eyes as Charles announces that he was not going to hand over a young, defenseless mutant and tell them that they were right about mutants, that they were right to be afraid of them. 'That any day anywhere around the world another mutant could be born that could turn this world inside out'. Cyclops remains silent as Charles continues, adding that he wasn't going to let everything they fought for and everything they struggled for and everything they survived be for nothing. 'And yet I couldn't do what I should have done, which was put this boy down. I couldn't do it' he confesses. Dazzler looks unimpressed, as Charles declares that what he had done was a very delicate operation and there was no way to be one hundred percent sure that it would work. Rachel listens intently, while Kitty is wide-eyed, as  Charles reveals that every year he would go visit Matthew. 'Make sure that my mental blocks -' he begins, as Cyclops declares 'You God damn hypocrite'.
'- solid and that the boy was stable -' the projection of Charles remarks, before the Beast puts the projection on pause. 'Scott!' he exclaims. 'Really?' the She-Hulk asks.
Everyone turns to Cyclops as he exclaims that his entire life, ever since he was a little boy, he has – they all have – been listening to lecture after lecture from this man about “no mutant left behind” and how they have to keep the peace by helping every mutant find their true potential. 'And we find out that this school was, in fact, built on a lie?' 'Scott' Storm calls out, but he continues, remarking that as soon as they turn their back, Charles does whatever it takes to keep things the way he wants them, that when the going gets tough he uses his power to overthrow. 'Hey, I got an idea – why don't you kill him again?' Bobby calls out. He smirks as everyone turns to him. Cyclops grits his teeth, and responds by firing an optic blast that sends Bobby careening backwards, out through a window and onto the front lawn.
'We will not have this!' the Beast warns Cyclops, putting a fist to his chest. 'Our whole lives we listened to him!' Cyclops replies angrily. 'Settle down!' Kitty exclaims. 'Lies!' Cyclops shouts. 'Settle down' Rachel states, her eyes glowing, but Cyclops shrugs her off and warns her not to control him. 'Start controlling yourself and she won't have to' Kitty tells Cyclops, adding that he is embarrassing himself.
Bobby re-enters the office, 'Cut the show you're doing right now to make yourself feel better about your guilt. About his death' he tells Cyclops, adding 'You may not have been consciously aware of what happened when Xavier was murdered, I'll give you that, but you were standing over his dead body and that means you are going to listen to him and you are going to abide by his last wishes'. Bobby angrily tells Cyclops that if he lays eyebeams on him one more time, then he promises to freeze his colon. 'Do the math on that one' Bobby snaps.
'I think I'm behaving quite well and I'd like one of ya to acknowledge it' Wolverine jokes, to which the She-Hulk puts her hands to her head and asks if they need to take a break. 'We continue' Storm declares, pressing the button.
The Professor's hologram states that he would visit the boy from time to time, always as his friend Charlie, to keep a close eye on the psychic blocks and to keep an eye on him – especially through puberty, which they all know is where mutations bloom or become secondary mutations. He adds that as Matthew grew older, Charlie would get older, and for a long time everything stayed the same, everything held – until one day.
Flashback
'Matthew, good to see you, my man' an older Charlie calls out as he approaches Matthew, who is reading under a large tree. 'Who are you really?' Matthew replies. 'What?' Charlie responds. 'You're not what – you're not real. You're in my head. Are you real under there or am I making you up?' Matthew enquires. Charlie narrows his eyes, before removing his baseball cap, and Charles Xavier suddenly switches to his true form, in his yellow hoverchair. 'My name is Charles Xavier' he announces. Matthew stands up and asks him why he was pretending to be something he is not. Charles tells Matthew that when they first met, he was too young to understand what had happened to him, so this little lie allowed them to communicate in a way that he could help him deal with what Matthew had become, without him hurting himself or others. 'What had I become?' Matthew asks. 'You're a mutant, Matthew. Do you know what that is?' Charlies asks. 'Yeah, duh. I mean, yes. What do I do?' he responds. Charles replies that his best guess is that Matthew summons energies from a dimension other than their own, and when he does, it creates a destructive force that can obliterate everything around him. 'Geez' Matthew exclaims.
Charles informs Matthew that, as a younger man, he was not able to cope with it, so he helped him the best he could, as is his calling in life. 'Am I – can I -? How powerful am I?' Matthew asks. 'The fact that you pulled down my psychic shields and saw right through me shows another level of psychic ability. You are a very powerful mutant' Charles announces. Matthew clutches his head, energy starts to ripple around him. He puts his hands over his eyes 'I killed my parents' he realizes. 'Yes, you did' Charles confirms. 'Did I do this to you?' Matthew asks, referring to Charles's hoverchair. Charles tells him that he did not. Matthew asks if he killed other people, but Charles confesses that he doesn't know. 'You were a little boy and you did not – it was an accident of nature' he explains. 'Accident of nature?' Matthew asks.
'It is the hand dealt you' Charles replies, before telling Matthew that he is sorry he could not help him more. 'Your powers unchecked are dangerous and volatile'. Matthew hangs his head, before announcing that he doesnt want the power, and asks the Professor to take it away from him. 'I can't...' Charles begins. 'Without killing me' Matthew declares. 'And that I cannot do' Charles states. Matthew tells Charles that he gives him permission, right now. 'Whatever you were doing to me – wipe my brain. Give me amnesia. Whatever you did so I didn't know any of this. I don't want to know this. I don't want to know any of this' he exclaims before dropping to his knees. He sobs on Charles's hoverchair, and declares that it is all coming back to him. 'Please. Please make it stop' he begs. Charles tells Matthew to sit with him.
Present
The hologram of Professor X tells the X-Men that he set up a strong series of psychic blocks and memory repression that has allowed Matthew to live a normal, unassuming life, and he has continued to keep an eye on him from afar. 'But as this is my last Will and Testament I must turn to you, my students and friends, and ask you forgiveness for this breach of trust... and at the same time for you to take the mantle of his care'. The hologram of Charles announces that he would like Cyclops and Wolverine to put together a small team that includes Rachel Summers or whoever is now their strongest psychic and he would like them to journey to wherever Matthew Malloy has made his home. He explains that he would like them to quietly and stealthily make sure that the psychic walls that keep him from his powers remain strong. 'If you can do this without interacting with him you would be doing our people and that poor mutant a great service. Know that you are doing this man's wishes. And mine'. As the X-Men listen, the hologram of Charles tells them that once thay have returned from their mission, he has instructed their attorney to then reveal the rest of his last Will and Testament. He asks them to please keep their people safe no matter how distasteful this mission might feel to them. 'Just this one last time: TO ME, MY X-MEN!' Xavier declares, before his hologram vanishes.
The X-Men are silent. Cyclops hangs his head, while Kitty and Nightcrawler embrace once again. The Beast covers his eyes, while Iceman closes his eyes. Storm starts to walk away, 'Matthew Malloy. Let's hope he's easy to find' she remarks.
And elsewhere, Matthew Malloy hovers in the air as his powers rage across the land around him....
