Untitled
'Wait, and he hasn't called you in how long?' Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman asks his time-displaced younger self as they both ice-slide down a street, dodging blasts of flame which chase after them courtesy of the Pyro, who is standing on top of a car that has crashed into another car. 'What else can I do? Would it kill Romeo to text more – make me not feel like I'm super needy?' the past Iceman asks as he cools some flames with a blast of ice. 'Don't you see? The time for mutants to rise is now!' Pyro shouts as he fires another blast of flames towards the present-day Iceman's ice-sled. 'It's like, did I do something wrong? Is it cuz I wore bowling shoes unironically?' he asks. 'It isn't cuz I jokingly said Medusa's hair was “a bit much”? I could beat the Terrigen out of him if I didn't wanna kiss that stupid face!' past Bobby exclaims, while Pyro blasts another stream of fire upwards, 'You boys can silence me now, but I am just one of many mutants who will use force to bring this country – and the world – into the present!' Pyro shouts.
Present Bobby casts some cooling mist towards Pyro and suggests to his past self the best of both worlds idea – 'I beat  that star-crossed ghosting snot for making baby-me feel gloomy, and you kiss it better!' The two Bobbys meet on their ice-sleds and the past Bobby tells his present self that he is so sweet – or he is taking “self-involved” to meta levels. 'Knowing me knowing you, my guess is the latter' past Bobby remarks, to which the present Bobby points out that the two are not mutually exclusive. 'And I'm buttering you up for a favor' he admits. Present Bobby reveals that he got a text from their mom – the first since he hold her and their dad about the gay stuff, and somehow she found out about little Bobby – she wants them all to meet for dinner. 'I'm done turning the other cheek – it's time to claim our space from those who systemically keep mutants hiding in shame!' Pyro exclaims.
Both Icemans look down at him, 'Geez, you need to hog the spotlight or something? Didn't I kick your butt like a week ago?' he asks. 'Can't you see we're having a heart to heart!' past Bobby exclaims as he and his present self begin to cover Pyro in ice. Present Iceman even creates some ice-golems, which go over to Pyro and grab him, pinning him to the ground. 'Are you sure? I can say no if mom's gonna use you as a bartering tactic' present Bobby suggests. Past Bobby tells him not to worry about it, and that he is in. 'Ugh, unless they want to eat haggis or something...' he adds, before admitting that it will be trippy to see them all old and wrinkly. 'This is our Earth, and mutantkind is done playing pleasant with those who -' Pyro calls out, to which present Iceman calls back 'Seriously? No one cares what you have to say, you third-tier Australian sandbag of a bad guy!' while past Bobby adds 'You come back from the dead and this is how you choose to spend your time?'
Meanwhile, somewhere in Madripoor:
'But Daken, I don't wanna!' complains the young mutant called Zach as they walk down a rain-soaked alleyway. Daken looks at Zach and tells him that he doesn't care what he wants. 'Wanna earn your codename? Repeat my instructions' Daken tells him. Zach closes his eyes and repeats the instructions: 'Main table. Five minutes. Bring you the ring on the main guy's hand, and we can get onto the real mission. “Move swift as the wind and closely form as the wood -”' Zach replies, while Daken covers his ears, and then remarks 'Zach...remember the part where I don't care? Go get me that ring!' and he kicks Zach into the bar, where Zzach stumbles into the bar, which is empty, save for five men sitting around a table who look up at Zach. “Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak...” Zach utters, before deciding 'Whatever. Lights out' as energy radiates around his hands.
Zach then casts that energy towards one of the men, while standing on another. Outside, Daken leans against the bar wall, and reads from a book, '“Each individual can in his little circle participate in this leveling”...blach blah blah... “But it is an abstract process, and leveling is abstraction conquering individuality” Cute'. Back inside, Zach manages to topple a table, knocking it onto one of the men, as he punches another, 'Take that, loser!' Zach exclaims. Daken continues to read from the book: “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced...”. One of the men is then thrown through the window, but Daken barely pays him any attention, until Zach returns outside, Daken places the book in his jacket pocket, and tells the man lying on the rain-covered alley to put his hands up. 'Yeah, hands where we can see 'em!' Zach exclaims. 'Child, shut up' Daken mutters.
'If it's money you want...' the man begins as he holds his hand up, and Daken starts to remove the ring from his finger, explaining that he has been eyeing it since he saw him on the street yesterday. 'Kind of tacky up close' Daken decides as he puts the ring on his own finger, before turning and walking back down the alley. Zach runs after him: 'What the frak? That ewasnt an ancient relic with magic elements?' he asks. 'Sweetie, you're the only thing I need for our big bang. I just wanted to see if you were ready for what's next' Daken explains, adding that they could probably use some spare goons. 'Snaaaap! You're always finding weird ways to teach me lessons! Like when you had me sleep outside for a week -' Zach calls out as he follows Daken, who puts his hands to his ears again and asks 'What did I say about talking?' Zach repeats what Daken said: “Don't speak unless spoken to – better yet, don't speak at all”. 'Solid advice. Stick to it'.
Meanwhile, the present day Bobby walks towards the restaurant where he is meeting his parents. As he walks there, he is texting Judah, who asks if there really is another Bobby out there in the world. Bobby replies that there is – and he doesn't want any smutty jokes – he has heard them all, and the other him is under age. “Ugh, fine” responds Judah, before asking if dinner will run for about three hours. “If I'm lucky” Bobby texts back, before Judah asks Bobby if he is telling his parents about the move. Bobby responds by telling Judah that if dinner goes well, he will, otherwise, it will be postcard from Venice that says “wish you were here”. Judah's next text suggests that Irish Catholic guilt seems waaay scarier than Jewish mom guilt. He wishes Bobby good luck, and sends kisses from afar.
Bobby enters the restaurant, and waves to his parents when he sees them: 'Mom! Dad! I'm over here! Hey!' he calls out. His father, William, groans, while his mother, Madeline, waves Bobby over and asks 'Wait, he's not with you?' Bobby touches his mother's shoulder and asks 'Bobby Lite's not here yet?' to which William mutters that they would have definitely seen him. Bobby offers to text his other self real quick, while a waiter approaches the table and hands some menus out, while asking the Drakes if they would like to hear the specials, and adds that water is coming momentarily. 'One more menu please, another me is coming' Bobby remarks, while texting his past self, asking “Where the duck r u?” as Madeline butters some bread, she tells Bobby that it is nice to see him. 'How have you been since -' she begins, as Bobby interrupts her: 'Went to LA. Mourned a dead friend. Fought Sentinels. That was just last Wednesday'. He then gets a response from past Bobby, who shows up as “Young Me” on Bobby's phone. The response reveals that he is in the bathroom, but that he can't see their parents yet, as something is wrong with him. Bobby looks over to the restroom and informs his parents that he has found the other him. 'Be right back' he tells them.
'No way, ice toddler. They will eat me alive if you're a no-show – oh' Bobby utters as he opens the door to the men's room and finds his younger self inside it, 'Help! I'm redefining cold feet!' young Bobby exclaims, hands raised, while present Bobby asks him why he is iced up. 'I can't change out of my ice form!' young Bobby explains, to which older Bobby grabs him and drags him out of the bathroom, remarking that he has dealt with being perma-icy before, he adds that the only way he will un-ice is by facing them. They go over to the table where their parents are sitting, 'Look who's a little embarassed by his frosted tips' present Bobby jokes, while past Bobby smiles and waves at them: 'Hi, Mom... hi, Dad... sorry for looking like... this' he remarks. The Drakes get up and rush over to him, 'Sweetie, you're just nervous is all. It's so good to see you again!' Madeline gushes. 'Do you need a coat or anything – would that warm you up?' William asks, smiling. Bobby frowns and pinches his arm, 'Nope...not a dream. Did my parents get woke?' he asks.
Madeline asks past Bobby if it was a long trip to get here from Madripoor, but he tells her that they have jets. 'Fancy! That's very nice of the x-people to fly out out...' Madeline adds, before pinching Bobby's frozen face and smiles at William, telling him that Bobby looks exactly like the old pictures. William smiles back and suggests that the kid needs some meat on his bones, but it is their boy. Present day Bobby raises an eyebrow and wonders if he is in the Mojoverse. 'Longshot, can you pop out now... please?' Bobby asks.
Shortly, food has been brought out and William tells the past Bobby 'The other Bobby tried to explain why you're here... science fiction be damned, I say you're a gift from God' William declares. “Other Bobby?” Bobby mutters, while the past Bobby smiles and asks if that makes him the time-displaced prodigal son. Bobby points his fork at his past self and tells him to watch out – if he keeps talking bible with Dad, he will never let him go. 'Could you imagine if I showed up to Sunday school like this?' young Bobby asks. 'I'd give you ten – no, fifteen dollars to do it!' present Bobby wagers. Madeline looks pleased, and tells past Bobby that he could, if he wanted – to come to church on Sunday, or come back home with them. 'Semi-estranged-mom-says-what?' past Bobby asks, wide-eyed. 'You could come back home with us. Finish high school. Pursue your dreams' Madeline suggests. William smiles at him and tells him that they have a room for him in a nice big house that he hasn't seen yet.
Bobby bursts into laughter and mutters that the bad guys were right – he is an idiot. 'What are you going on about?' William asks, frowning. 'This was a trap. I thought I was just being jealous – but you found a perfect version of your son to start over with. How are you gonna explain to everyone that I got all Benjamin Button?' Bobby asks. Madeline quickly points out that they live in a new neighborhood, so he could be their nephew that they are looking after. 'Wow. You've really thought this through...you two are frickin' mental!' Bobby exclaims. 'Never mind that this is a smack in the face to me... do you even know what I wanted when I was his age? Cuz, truth bomb: it was never to stay in Long Island and get a job that gives you bragging rights!' Bobby declares. William grits his teeth and points out that this boy is a second chance for everyone, and calls Bobby “Robert”. 'Uh-oh, full name time -' Bobby mutters, as William tells him that he has proven his point that he is going to live life his way, so they can raise this boy right, and he can go on and save the world – it is a win-win.
'Hear me, Pops – Hank McCoy's time travel boo-boo is not a divine do-over for you. At the end of the day, this isn't my fight. It's his. What do you want, Bobby... BOBBY?' present day Bobby declares, before turning to where his past self is now even more frozen – completely covered in ice, and unmoving. 'Bobby! He's frozen himself!' Madeline gasps. 'Narrate the scene much, Mom?' Bobby asks. 'Don't talk to your mother that way, Robert!' William declares as they all look at the frozen Bobby. A waiter walks over and asks if everything is all right. 'Just peachy, thanks! I'm pretty sure I heard the table next to us say something about waiting on their syrah, though' Bobby tells him, before turning back to his past self and asking him what is going on. William asks Bobby if he can't use his powers to undo this. 'Everything's gonna be fine, son. We're on top of it!' he tells the past Bobby, while muttering at the present Bobby to fix him, as there is already more ice growing. 'Back off, Dad!' Bobby snaps, loud enough for the restaurant to go silent, and all the other patrons turn to the Drakes.
Bobby realizes what has happened and tells everyone in the restaurant to stop gawking. 'Like you've never seen a family from Long Island eating dinner' he mutters. Bobby wonders what Emma Frost would say to snap him out of this: “Weakling boy! You do not deserve the blessing of your mutant powers, vile sloth -” Bobby remarks, before realizing that tough love is not the answer here. He gets off his chair and kneels down beside his frozen past-self, 'C'mon baby Bobby...I think I know what's going on here. Mom and Dad, they can be big bad wolves, amirite. Lemme tell you something. They're paper tigers' Bobby remarks. Bobby smiles as he tells his past self that their parents have zero clue how hurtful their words are because they both come from a different generation. 'You just gotta trust me and make this a “turn the other cheek” moment. They just don't get it – who we are, what we wanna be'. Bobby adds.
Bobby leans in closer to his past self and adds 'They talk all about letting you pursue your dreams... but if they only knew what we wanted to be when I was your age – don't think for a minute I forgot, Mr pastry chef' Bobby jokes, adding that their parents will say something weird and old-school to make them feel guilty, just like he will always stick out his tongue at them and continue to do him. 'Just like Ill always be here for you' Bobby adds, before putting his hand on his past self's hand, 'Always' he assures him, as the ice begins to melt. 'Help me peel it off!' Bobby tells his parents. 'Is this safe?' Madeline asks as they begin peeling back the ice, Bobby tells his mother to pretend it is just some massive Avon skincare product. 'Note to self: research powers for skincare purposes' Bobby remarks, while deciding that they are not getting around to him switching coasts tonight.
Past Bobby smiles and continues to eat his meal, as Madeline exclaims 'Goodness! That was a scare!' while past Bobby asks what he missed. 'Yeah, right. You heard everything' present Bobby smirks. 'Now, be nice to your, uhh...younger self' Madeline tells Bobby, before she wraps her arms around the past Bobby, suggesting they just get a big bowl of spumoni and finish dinner like a civilized family. 'NO!' past Bobby exclaims. 'Excuse you?' William asks. Past Bobby gets to his feet and tells his present-day parents that they haven't changed one bit since he last saw them – except maybe they got weirder. He adds that he doesn't want to do this, and doesn't have to do this. 'You wanna spend time with a spare son? Do it on my terms!' he tells them, adding that next time, he will be in ice form on purpose – and he is bringing his boyfriend, whom he kisses in public. 'All right, all right -' present Bobby tells his past self, putting his hands on his younger self's shoulders, before leading past Bobby away, he tells his parents that he will get him to 90s-acceptable gay, while they handle the check, they can then take a family selfie and call it a night. 'You're siding with them?' past Bobby asks. 'Dude, calm down' present Bobby tells him.
Once outside, they leave two ice-sculptures of themselves outside the restaurant, and Bobby walks across the road, arm around his younger self's shoulders, he tells him that he gives it twenty minutes before their parents realize that isn't them. 'C'mon, lemme show you how to make the greatest sno-cone known to mankind. This may be my last lesson before I'm West Coast Iceman!' Bobby jokes.
Soon, at the Xavier Institute, present Bobby asks his past self if he is sure he doesn't want to come in. Past Bobby declines the offer, pointing out that it turns into a thing where he has to spend quality time with everyone, then he is there overnight, and then his team ends up on some entirely different continent without him. 'Your struggle is real' Bobby mutters, adding that he needs to have one more conversation tonight. 'If I can take Ma and Pa Drake down, I think I can handle a confrontation with Romeo' past Bobby decides, holding up his mobile phone. 'Yes! You're an omega-level mutant in the making. Use that power to scold your boyfriend' present Bobby jokes. 'Thanks. Good luck with the move. Seems like you need a change of scenery' past Bobby suggests. 'Love you, Micro Frosty' Bobby tells his past self. Bobby walks inside the mansion, but looks out as he sees past Bobby shouting down his phone: 'Romeo? This better not be a screened call – what gives? We face the end of the world together and you frickin ghost me?' Present Bobby smiles and decides that his past self will be fine.
Up in his room, Bobby lies on his bed. 'Gotta pack. Gotta grade papers. Gotta sleep' he tells himself, when suddenly, a shoe is thrown through his window, and lands on his stomach. He hears someone singing “Start spreading the news...I'm leaving today...” and looks out his window, smiling as he sees Judah standing on the front lawn, holding up a sign that reads “U UP?” 'Judah-flippin-Miller – what are you doing here?' Bobby asks. 'Freelance copywriter means I'm free to buy sneakers in the middle of the day... and work remotely while I spend time getting to know you!' Judah calls back. He starts to say that he wants to be a part of it – when suddenly, he is knocked to the ground by Colossus who lunges at him. 'Peter, no! That's my special friend!' Bobby calls out of his window.
At that moment, Daken walks through the busy night streets of New York City, singing “New York, New York...”

The Apocalypse Seed, part 1
The Xavier Institute, where Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman approaches the X-Mansion with his special  friend, Judah Miller, who asks if Bobby's friends are cool with non-mutants. 'All these teams you mention – do they get all clique-y at parties?' he enquires. Bobby smiles as he promises Judah that “normies” are more than just Red Shirts to the X-Men. 'I hope there's a dad joke jar in there...' Judah adds, to which Bobby reminds Judah that he told him he shouldn't give two figs what his friends thought, and suggests he take his own advice. 'Just... steer clear of Kitty for a while' Bobby adds, informing Judah that he and Kitty had a bit of a disagreement regarding his motives for moving – which led to words where one of them – he won't say who – compared her haircut to a '90s era John Stamos. 'Yikes' Judah remarks. Bobby assures Judah that this going away party will go smoothly. 'I swear!' he exclaims.
Meanwhile, at Midtown Goodwill:
'Here we go! Welcome to Michaela Ladak's “Design on a Dime!” Idie!' the Xavier Institute student Michaela Ladak exclaims to fellow student Oya as they enter the goodwill store. Michaela jokes that a micro allowance from a single mother will thread out for ages here. 'No way we're sending Mister Drake off in jeans or leotards!' Michaela points out. Idie tells her that this is not going to work for her. Oya looks at an old sneaker and informs Michaela that Professor Drake was so kind to her when Logan was running the school, but tells Michaela that she doesn't have her power of making an outfit from a mishmash of separates. Michaela puts on a large coat and smiles, suggesting that Oya go find a dress, as rich ladies casually drop off the nicest things here when they upgrade labels.
Oya finds two dresses and holds them up, but Michaela calls out 'Double pass on those duds!' while Oya asks Michaela if she ever thinks about stuff like that – jobs, life after being at the X-Mansion. Oya informs Michaela that she doesn't have a home to go, but that Michaela doesn't have to be a full-time mutant. 'Especially with -' Oya begins, 'My lame powers?' Michaela frowns. 'No, it's not that at all!' Oya exclaims, but Michaela tells her that she gets it – projectile spit is tiddly winks next to fire fist – and ice fist. Michaela jokingly makes fists and throws them upwards. Oya tells Michaela that she knows she doesn't mean that about her powers. 'Remember where Professor Drake started -' Oya begins, but Michaela points out that is what Professor Drake says to all the new kids who couldn't win a fight against a banana slug. 'I don't need a hug about it' she adds.
Oya tells Michaela to relax, and that she has found her perfect outfit. Oya holds up a blue outfit, but Michaela exclaims that this is a grown-up party, not a high school kickback. Oya points out that Professor Drake would want Michaela to be herself. 'Pay attention to lesson plans much?' she adds. Michaela looks at the outfit again, 'Some bangles... some exposed-shoulder action... I'm seeing it' she decides, while Oya glances past Michaela and looks out the window, 'Hmm' she remarks. 'What's up?' Michaela asks. 'See someone pawing at your perfect dress?' Michaela enquires, to which Oya tells her that she thought she saw someone familiar – in a bad way. And although she may not recognize him, Daken can be seen walking past the goodwill store window.
Party o'clock at the X-Mansion, among the guests Colossus passes Old Man Logan, while Anole stands nearby, eating some food. Nature Girl, Nightcrawler, Doop and Quentin Quire talk at the bottom of the steps, while Rogue and Jubilee talk to the time-displaced Cyclops, Beast and Iceman. Bobby and Judah approach former New Mutants Cannonball and Magma, and Cannonball asks Bobby if he doesn't want to do a road trip, as they are the best. 'Even if Judah hadn't killed his frequent flyer miles to get our seats, you'd have to put Mudding on the table, Sam' Bobby replies. 'I tell you about micro-breweries, sand dunes, cicadas... and all you hold on to about the South is -' Cannonball begins, as Bobby tells him again that he wants to go to Mudding.
Northstar and his husband Kyle Jinadu-Beaubier join the group, and Kyle tells Judah 'They go on and on about saving the world, getting out of mind traps or parallel dimensions...but pay a bill on time? It's like baby – Dormammu doesn't affect setting up autopay!' to which Bobby replies 'So true, Kyle'.
The front door opens, 'Zach! What the hell! I thought you got kidnapped by Daken! The X-Men found you?' Benjamin Deeds asks as he stands with Hindsight. '...YES. They... found me, Benji. Yeah' Zach claims. 'You know that girl – the one who dresses like Adidas did a collaboration with Skittles?' Zach asks. 'You mean Michaela?' Benjamin asks. 'Sure. She said to make sure all the students head to the Danger Room for some surprise thing for Iceman' Zach claims. Northstar approaches Bobby and tells him that now everything is out in the open, part of him thinks he knew, but lied to himself because he didn't want to project. 'Mm-hmm' Bobby replies. Northstar informs him that he and Kyle have even had a talk about it. 'Me?' Bobby asks. 'Yeah. He was threatened! X-Man crush is his ultimate fear!' Northstar explains, he and Bobby unaware that Zach is watching them. Northstar reveals that Kyle still feels insecure that he can't relate to this part of their lives. He is about to add something else, when Bobby tells him that he has to tap out of gay talk for a sec. 'We've got two more drinks before we're done!' Northstar grins, but Bobby tells him to give him a second.
Bobby approaches Kitty Pryde, they greet each other, and Bobby tells her that he is glad they remember their names. 'Thanks for doing all this' Bobby adds. 'Thank the caterer' Kitty tells him. Bobby tells Kitty that he knows she doesn't agree with him leaving, and asks her if she can't pretend to be supportive tonight. 'NO!' Kitty shouts, causing everyone in the foyer of the mansion to turn to her. 'Because I'm the only person here who's actually being honest with you. Just cuz life is easier in LA doesn't mean moving there for a guy is the right thing to do. You belong here, Bobby' Kitty adds, to which Bobby tells her that he is not moving to LA for a boy, and reminds Kitty that he is not a team and she can't lead him. 'It's not like I've been fighting to reclaim my life so I can hang around here as your gay best friend' Bobby mutters. 'Ugh' Kitty groans, before telling Bobby that his need for drama will get him into a reality series in no time. She jokes that “Iceman Takes LA” will be a hit, she is sure. Her phone beeps and she announces that she has to go, as duty calls.
Judah goes over to Bobby and tells him that his friend Forge just used his robo-leg to make him a drink. He sees Kitty and asks where the black cloud came from. 'Don't worry about it' Bobby tells Judah, while Kitty informs everyone that she has received a noise complaint, and tells them that while getting a noise complaint in Central Park is ridiculous, but they have been trying to cooperate with the city. She suggests that it is no big deal and that someone find a bar nearby and they can all head there for an early after-party! As Storm walks down the stairs, Kitty asks her if she can chat. Kitty quietly tells Storm that there is a big problem – Purifiers are surrounding the perimeter of the school. She instructs Storm to get Peter and the others ready.
As many of the guests start to leave, Rictor walks over to Bobby and tells him that he can't stick around, but wanted to tell him that he and Shatterstar have been on a break – maybe for good. 'If you're back in New York and single... hit me up' Rictor suggests. 'On a scale of one to “flattered” on the Rictor scale, I'm at an eight!' Bobby replies. 'A sense of humor. I miss that!' Rictor remarks as he carries on.
'Yo, Russian Dumpling. What's really going on?' Bobby asks as Colossus approaches him. Colossus informs Bobby that Kitty didn't want him worrying, but that there is a mild thread. He asks Bobby to stay here while they handle it. 'And Bobby? She just wants to know that she matters to you' Colossus adds. Bobby frowns, before he and Judah walk upstairs. 'We're not going with everyone to the bar?' Judah asks. Bobby tells him that they aren't just yet, as he is going to play X-Man one last time and tag along with Kitty's team. 'Sidebar: I think I just got hit on!' he adds.
Bobby and Judah walk down a corridor, as Bobby tells Judah that he wants to stash him in his room with a few makeshift ice weapons, just in case. 'It's cute watching you internally debate whether I'm a damsel or a sidekick' Judah tells Bobby, who points out that Judah has the wifi password, and he should be back within an hour. 'You're totally safe here' Bobby assures Judah, unaware that Daken us up ahead, around the corner, grinning when he sees Bobby and Judah.
Meanwhile, in the Danger Room, Doop hovers over several students who have gathered there including the Stepford Cuckoos, Nature Girl, Eye-Boy, Rockslide, Genesis, Quentin Quire, Benjamin Deeds, Anole and Glob Herman. 'I'm still confused' Genesis calls out. 'We're going to surprise Mr Drake? It's not his birthday'. Celeste Cuckoo mutters 'If this going-away party stays on theme: Iceman's greatest X-moments... complete with Tori Amos songs'. Nature Girl looks around and remarks that this doesn't feel right, while Eye-Boy asks 'When are the adults getting here'. Suddenly, the Danger Room is plunged into darkness. 'Now this isn't right!' Nature Girl exclaims. 'Seven minutes in heaven!' Eye-Boy jokes. A red light glows in the Danger Room, as the computer recording announces that a maximum-intensity scenario has been initiated. 'Aw, hell' Eye-Boy mutters, before the students find themselves in a Savage Land scenario, with Sauron flyin towards them. 'That should keep your nerds busy...' Zach grins as he watches from nearby.
Carrying on down the corridor, Bobby explains to Judah that there is a batch of Purifiers doing an encore of “storm the Mansion”. 'If for some reason you run into one, ask what their favorite psalm is to buy time -' Bobby suggests, when he is interrupted by Daken: 'Expert advice, much cunning' Daken jokes. Daken leans against the hallway wall and jokes that he is loving Bobby's idea of a party – very ABC Family. 'I suspect my invite got lost in the paperless post?' he adds. 'Daken!' Bobby exclaims, but as he raises his hands to fire some ice at Daken, he finds himself powerless. 'Oh no – your powers!' Daken grins. 'One mutant's trash...is my treasure!' Daken calls out as he slams Bobby up against the wall, pinning him down with his arm digging into Bobby's neck. 'Sup, teach' Zach smiles as he walks towards them. 'Do I look like a dead and used-up pawn to you?' Zach jokes. 'You like like a Daken clone, Zach' Bobby calls out as he tries to push Daken off of him. 'It's Amp, now' Zach announces, before telling Bobby that he can't get under his skin anymore. 'I've leveled up so much, I didn't even have to concentrate to turn down the security systems here' Amp boasts.
Bobby tells Daken and Zach that clearly he has affected them both,, even though they distracted all his friends and have him in an unfair fight. 'Real upstanding Zach' Bobby snaps. 'It's Amp!' Zach protests, when suddenly, 'Bobby – now!' Judah exclaims as he lunges towards Daken in attempt to help Bobby escape, but Daken just turns to Judah and grabs him by his neck, 'Oh, lookit. A damsel, to be sure' Daken snarls. He turns back to Bobby, who he still has pinned up against the wall and remarks 'Training wheels are barely off and you land some grade-A kosher beef, Icepop. I'm impressed'. Bobby frowns at Daken and tells him to leave Judah out of this. 'Does that ever work? “Leave him alone!” Waaaah!' Daken retorts, before asking Bobby 'Did you leave me along when I was trying to have a civil conversation with Amp a few weeks back?' Daken adds that he doesn't think Zach wants him to leave him alone. 'Isn't that right, Judah?' Daken asks, turning back to Judah, who is unable to answer as Daken holds him tightly by his neck. 'I bet you miss being touched by someone who actually knows what he's doing' Daken asks, and Judah tells him that his skin feels really good.
Outside on the campus grounds:
'Storm, status report?' Kitty asks as she phases through a tree and knocks one of the Purifiers on the head, as Nightcrawler teleports onto him, grabs his gun, and teleports away. Storm's voice can be heard over the communicator, informing Kitty that they found another batch swarming the back. Kitty asks Storm if she notices anything funny about their attack patterns. 'That there is none?' Storm replies, as she fires a bolt of lightning which takes out two of the Purifiers. Colossus' armored form protects him from a Purifier who opens fire at him. Nightcrawler then teleports onto that Purifier, grabs the weapon and telepors away, while Kitty points out that Purifiers are not this showy unless they have an audience, or the upper hand. 'Aww, #$%&' the Purifier who Colossus grabs utters, before he is thrown across the field, and slams into a tree. 'My anti-mutant religious zealot just tried to use his mutant powers on me?' Colossus asks, and Kitty announces that they have been set up.
Back inside, Daken kisses Judah, then tosses him to the floor, 'Nothing. No spark. Romance is dead' he declares, releasing Iceman as well. 'That word. “Nothing”. It defines my whole life. And afterlife. And life again' Daken remarks as he paces the corridor, stating that he has been a killer, a pawn, a “goody” guy, a “bad” guy – and this mortal coil has taught him that beyond absolute power, everything else is nothing. 'Then there' you, Bobby – the shining paragon of optimism. Took a long time to shake your dumb lessons out of Little Z... who's instrumental to my “get out of jail free” card' Daken announces.
Daken grits his teeth and declares that he has an Apocalypse-y Death Seed in him, which, if he were following the rules, means that one day he ends up being a pawn again. He adds that there is all this potential power inside him, but he doesn't get to use it unless he is servicing a demigod with blueberry fruit roll-up for skin. 'Rules are dumb'. Daken puts his hands on Amp's shoulders and asks him if he is ready to make him proud – to find the Seed's energy, amp it until he finds a chance in the air, keep the Apocalypse of it all down. 'We got this!' Zach smiles. 'Atta-boy' Daken tells Zach, before turning back to Iceman: 'Namaste. Catch you on the other side, Icedork' Daken grins, while Iceman warns Daken that he has no idea what the Death Seed will do – but too late, as Amp begins to use his powers on Daken, Bobby is knocked backwards by a surge of energy 'Oh my God...' a wide-eyed Bobby utters,, as Daken's shirt is torn off his body, revealing a dull gray colored skin, as Daken pops his claws. 'God's not here, but his powers are. Need a pop culture reference to cue being scared as #$%&, or am I enough for you?' Daken asks.

Daen turns to Amp and asks him how he is doing. Amp tells Daken that this is his first time playing tug-o-war with the power levels, the Seed wants more noise, but he can handle it. 'Good...cuz I'm feeling great!' Daken exclaims. He adds that all his research on the Death Seed has talk of previous Horsemen needing to die, or a catastrophe of some sort to start this fire. 'Hope you got a fridge big enough for him!' Daken jokes as he grabs Judah and shoves his claws through Judah's back, they protrude through his stomach. 'NO!' Bobby shouts as he rushes towards Daken and Judah. 'You want me angry? Here's payback!' Iceman exclaims as he attempts to punch Daken, who easily dodges him. Daken grabs Bobby's fists, and instructs Amp to give Iceman his powers, as he wants to test drive him before he takes on X-Men Mauve or whatever. 'Oh, and check in on Generation Forgettable. If they're not dead yet – make it so'.
Bobby growls as he ices-up, 'There's my little snowflake!' Daken mocks, while Amp boasts that he is gonna make Daken proud, and pops a pill into his mouth, remarking that he needs a little MGH boost to make sure he stays in check. Iceman creates an ice-sled and speeds along the corridor, trapping Daken in a large ice-ball, he pushes Daken down the corridor and off the mezzanine, where he falls down to the foyer. The ice-ball shatters, and Daken gets to his feet, 'Maybe let's just do this all night, then I'll kill everyone else in the morning' he suggests, before Iceman, in a large, bulky ice form, leaps towards Daken. 'Uh-oh. He swole now' Daken jokes, as Bobby punches him hard in the face. Daken smiles and asks Iceman how his friends got this power out of him. 'Fwiendship and miwacles?' he mocks. Iceman angrily tells Daken that he is a fool if he thinks he can control the Death Seed. 'Listen to me -'Iceman calls out, but Daken exclaims 'Boo, hero speech, boo' and as Iceman lunges  at him, Daken knocks him to the ground. 'Now – my turn!' Daken calls out as he stands on Iceman and puts his foot to Iceman's neck.
Amp enters the Danger Room control booth and the MGH has clearly taken effect. He laughs and tells himself that he can see it all so clearly now, as the Seed is starting to affect him, too – he knows he can't let that happen, but doesn't want to let Daken down, so he starts to release the power he has absorbed into the Danger Room, where the other students are struggling against Sauron and a horde of dinosaurs!

The Apocalypse Seed, part 2
Central Park, the X-Mansion:'Are you sure it's all right that we didn't get gifts?' Oya asks as she and Michaela Ladak rush into the front entrance. 'Mr Drake's moving, Idie! All he wants from us is a hug and an inside joke on a group card!' Michaela replies – but they discover the mansion foyer, where the party was being held, is empty. 'I didn't think we were so late we'd miss the whole party' Michaela remarks. Oya adds that it isn't even curfew, and asks Michaela to text Evan or somebody and ask where they are.
But suddenly, as the girls move further into the mansion, they go wide-eyed. 'Oh my -' Oya gasps as they find the mansion a mess, with melting ice and ice-slides everywhere. 'Uh, I'm guessing this X-Men rager turned into a bloodbath...' Michaela remarks, before she hears a moan. 'Over here! That's Jonah – Mr Drake's boyfriend!' Michaela exclaims as she and Oya rush towards him. 'It's Judah' Oya corrects Michaela, before telling her to prop his head up.
Michaela does so, and as Oya creates some ice to block the serious wound Judah has been inflicted with. 'Keep him still, we need to make sure he doesn't bleed out more' Oya orders, while Michaela tells Judah that he is going to be okay.
Oya asks him if he can talk, and what happened. 'D... ken...' Judah gasps, while nearby, Zach a.k.a. Amp walks past. “It's my party and I'll die if I want to...” he sings. 'Zach! That two-timing scum-sucking West Coast brat!' Michaela exclaims, before telling Oya to keep Judah alive, as she has to beat the crap out of that wuss. Michaela then runs after Zach, while Oya looks after Judah and warns Michaela that if Daken is still here, she is going to get hurt. 'Don't care!' Michaela calls back. 'Stupid frickin whiny baby, teaming up with the first bad guy he meets!' Michaela exclaims, before looking up, where she sees Daken leaping from a balcony towards Bobby “Iceman” Drake, who slides past him on an ice-slide. 'Whoa... Mister Drake, please kick son of Wolverine's ass...' Michaela calls out as she carries on after Zach.
'Come on, baby, show me your teeth!' Daken shouts at Iceman, easily slashing his way through an ice-shield that Bobby raises. 'I'm thinking of shadow-boxing your skeleton as a keepsake for my living room. Thoughts?' Daken asks as he wraps an arm around Bobby's neck, claws at the ready. But Bobby suddenly releases ice-shards from his back, knocking Daken upwards. 'No need to get prickly, Drake' Daken jokes as Bobby throws him against a wall. 'Daken, you can kill my boyfriend, wreck my home... but I won't lose my temper and stoop to your level' Bobby responds. Sliding over to Daken, Bobby creates some ice-golems who surround the maniac. 'As a vile being, I know you're just lashing out' Bobby tells Daken, who mutters 'Stop sending photocopies – and stop acting like you know $#!& about me!' as he leaps forward, slicing the ice-golems in two with his deadly claws.
Down a corridor, Michaela is closing in on Zach. She tells him to quit running and to fight her. 'Spit Girl says she wants a fight?' Zach calls back, using his power to short the lamps near Michaela, startling her. 'You're dampening my powers and amping yours – real classy!' Michaela calls back, before telling Zach that at the end of the day, he is ten kinds of stupid, and she doesn't need her spit to knock him out, as she hurls a small table at him, it slams into his back and Zach drops to the floor. Energy crackles around Zach, who rubs his head and declares that the he can't focus the Death Seed energy. He wonders where it is going.
Iceman fires a stream of ice at Daken, but misses, when suddenly, Daken is surrounded by energy. 'What the -' Iceman utters, averting his eyes. 'Is it over? Did Zach stop funneling evil mojo into you?' Bobby asks. 'Quite the opposite – I am your DEATH!' Daken, whose body has increased in mass, roars, as he moves towards Iceman, extra claws bursting up from his elbows can be seen. 'Well. Guess it's only fair to even the odds' Bobby replies. 'How's fifty-to-one?' he asks as he creates fifty additional ice golems who move towards Daken.
'Sauron's coming back!' Nature Girl calls out in the Danger Room from where she stands on a ledge, as a Danger Room projection of Sauron swoops above, and Doop floats alongside her. 'This is a lot harder with our powers dialed back...' Phoebe Cuckoo complains as she and Mindee help pull Celeste up onto the ledge, as Glob Herman lifts Celeste towards them from the lower ledge. Eye-Boy, Bling and Benjamin Deeds are on the lower ledge as well, 'Does anybody remember where the internal fail-safe switch is hidden? We could turn off this hologram and get out' Glob suggests, while Eye-Boy announces that he sees something coming on the bioelectric spectrum – some energy. Rockslide is on the ground level, as he acts as a ladder for Genesis, Hindsight and Anole, who is being helped onto the next ledge by Benjamin, while Kid Omega dangles from the ledge nearby.
Energy crackles in the Danger Room, and Eye-Boy asks the others if they feel that – he thinks they are back to normal – but the projection of Sauron swoops towards him, and Eye-Boy looks worried, until Bling grabs Sauron and slams him into a nearby cliff. 'Yep. We're back. Which means we can actually beat this scenario!'
The young mutants leap off the cliff as a projection of Zabu rushes towards them. 'Anyone wanna punch a fake tiger?' Genesis wonders.
In the Danger Room control booth, Michaela jokingly calls out: 'Hey, Siri – can you turn this thing off? No? What about Danger? How do I get her to fix this...' she mutters, as Zach enters the booth, and tells Michaela that she picked the wrong side. He reveals that Daken planned this whole thing out, and that once he has gotten his revenge on Ice-Bore, they will be on their way to ruling this whole city. Michaela turns to Zach and informs him that she did feel bad for him, that having no friends must have been tough. 'But you didn't ever try, Zach. And now? You're a bully fronting as a Filipino Angus Young'.
Michaela suggests to Zach that they fight to prove that she rules, and that Zach is his own reason why his life sucks. 'Gladly!' Zach exclaims as he moves towards Michaela, fist at the ready – but he misses her, and Michaela is able to slam an elbow into his back, 'Son of Wolverine only taught you offensive, eh?' she asks.
Daken slices through another ice-golem and tells Iceman that he doesn't understand him, that he fights for people who couldn't even sniff out his secrets. 'I HATE you and I know you better than your stupid “family”' Daken declares, slamming one ice-golem to the ground, while telling Iceman that he wastes his power on hollow causes, that he is too dumb to remember, he will always sniff him out – Daken then shoves his claws through another ice-golem's head, while the really Bobby leaps towards him, so Daken knocks him back across the room and tells him that nothing he does will tip the scales. 'This world is drenched in kerosene... and everyone's holding up lighters like Hendrix is playing'. Daken picks Iceman up by his neck and starts punching him in the face, over and over: 'When will you learn?' Daken asks. 'Never' Bobby coughs as he smiles back at Daken. 'Cuz I give a damn. Everything changes when you choose to care. It's a game changer'. Bobby then creates a huge ice-spike from his chest, which bursts upwards through Daken. 'That Death Seed's festered for too long, it's made you a loveless monster' Bobby tells Daken, who replies that love doesn't prevail, and that he is ready to move on and kill everyone now.
Daken and Iceman fall through the floor, landing several feet from where Oya is still watching over Judah. Bobby groans from the impact of Daken landing on him, before looking over at Judah, calling out to him. 'Buh... Bobby?' Judah utters. Bobby returns to his human appearance and rushes to Judah's side: 'Oh my God, you're alive! Stay with me, I'm here, we'll get out of this -' Bobby begins, before Daken snarls 'No one is getting out alive. It's just not allowed!' and leaps towards Bobby, his claws at the ready, but suddenly Oya screams 'NO!' as she blasts a powerful surge of flame at Daken, and tells him to surrender before there are further casualties. She adds that this can still end with the X-Men forgiving him. 'Can it?' Daken asks. 'From where I'm standing, I'll be eating your eyeballs off my claws by the time your Bic lighter runs dry' Daken replies. Annoyed, Oya declares that she has seen true darkness, and tells Daken that his apathy doesn't scare her. 'Plus... she was buying me time to regroup' Bobby announces as he ices up and returns to the battle alongside another army of ice-golems.
Bobby smashes his ice-slide into Daken, knocking him out of a large window and into the open. The ice-slide washes down and catches Daken and the ice-golems before they hit the ground, while Daken tells Bobby to bring as many snow clones as he wants. 'You literally cannot kill me!' Daken boasts. 'Not trying to anymore' Iceman replies, remarking that as much as he loathes the nihilist abyss that is Daken's life, he is still going to save him. 'Will you though?' Daken asks, popping his claws, inches from Bobby's body, as Bobby creates a large ice-hand behind Daken, it moves up from the ice-slide and restrains him. 'Yes' Bobby whispers as he leans in an locks his lips on Daken's, releasing an icy breath into Daken's body, before he kicks Daken backwards off the ice-slide. 'Can't kill you. Can't extract the Death Seed. But I think I just figured out how to freeze it' Bobby reveals, as Daken falls to the ground and lands on a large snowball.
Back in the Danger Room control booth:
'Any last words before I blow your head up?' Zach asks as he holds Michaela down towards the exploding control console. Suddenly, Michaela is able to spin around and spits at Zach, striking his shoulder. Zach reels backwards, and Michaela tells him that Mister Drake told her that it's never about what the power is – it's how you use it. 'Weenie' she calls Zach, flicking her fingers against his ear.
Uptown, in a bar, Northstar and Kyle, Rogue, Rictor and Cannonball are standing around, waiting. 'I guess Bobby isn't coming to his own going-away bash' Northstar remarks.
In the Xavier Institute Infirmary:'Ow' Bobby complains as Dr Cecilia Reyes applies another bandage to his body. 'Quiet. You've been through worse. I've seen it' Reyes snaps at Bobby. 'Memories! Thank you for playing doctor on party night, Cecilia' Bobby smiles, before pulling his shirt on. Cecilia tells Bobby that she is sorry she missed the show, and that his girls said he was epic. 'Speaking of... I gotta check in on a patient' Bobby remarks, before he enters another room within the infirmary, where Judah is sitting up in bed, and Michaela and Oya are standing with him.
'... and then I was all like “You stupid weenie” and flicked him in the ear' Michaela tells Judah and Oya. 'So Zach's got a dampener on now, but they still haven't found Daken?' Oya asks. Michaela tells her that the teachers are sweeping, but apparently he is gone. 'You don't get extra credit for volunteering in the infirmary' Bobby tells his students. Oya explains that they were just checking on Judah while he recovered, before suggesting to Michaela that they go see if Bishop needs help interrogating those goons Daken had masquerading as Purifiers. We'll get out of your hair' Michaela smiles as she and Oya run from the room.
'Hey' Bobby tells Judah. 'Hi' Judah replies. 'I'm really glad you're all ri-' Bobby begins, before Judah interrupts him: 'I don't think you should move to Los Angeles' Judah declares. Judah tells Bobby that he thinks his life is insane. 'I've been here less than a week and I get clobbered by Colossus and stabbed by some sexy Asian biker guy... who is still alive and out there? I can't do this' Judah explains. Bobby explains that he wasn't moving to LA just to be with Judah. 'That's why I'm getting my own -' Bobby begins, but Judah interrupts him again: 'This world isn't mine. It shouldn't have taken my getting skewered to figure that out, but... I don't know. That's all I got'. Bobby and Judah both look away from each other. 'Okay' Bobby says after a moment's silence, before he starts to walk out of the room. 'I'm still your ally' Judah assures him. 'I don't know that I see any value in that right now. Maybe one day, but not now' Bobby replies.
Later, Bobby is outside, and makes a large snowflake over his hand. 'Bobby, I'm sorry' Kitty remarks as she walks over. 'Huh? Sorry for what?' Bobby asks. Kitty tells him that she should have been more supportive. 'Eh. You were doing what felt right' Bobby tells her, but Kitty asks him to hear her out. As Colossus, Storm, Nightcrawler, Old Man Logan, Prestige and Magma work on repairs and clean-up, Kitty tells Bobby 'I keep saying I'm your friend and that I care about you and believe in you. But as your boss, I've done nothing to help. You were being underutilized here and while Los Angeles could use the Iceman – I think the X-Men need him'. Kitty then tells Bobby that if he wants a good reason to stay, he should show her a team he wants to lead and she will make it happen!

Untitled
'Nailed it!' Iceman exclaims as he bursts through a Sentinel's head on his ice-slide, resulting in the Sentinel exploding. Iceman slides towards the ground, where he is joined by his teammates, Cannonball, Beast, Chamber, Dust, Oya and Michaela Ladak. He grins: 'Civilian casualties? Zero. Property damage? Wicked minimal. Boyfriend kissage? Imminent' as he removes his jacket and takes his boyfriend, Judah Miller, in his arms.
'Hey, Judah' Iceman smiles. 'Bobby, your cunning and selflessness are such turn-ons... and who knew you were the greatest leader of all the X-Men ever?' Judah asks. He tells Bobby that he loves him, and that applying the “Dri” model to teamwork helps to keep each member accountable for their actions.
Reality:'Bobby? Hello? You were the one asking me about running a team, Bobby' Julio Esteban Richter a.k.a. Rictor states as he waves across the table they are sitting at. 'Huh? Yes, here. Hello. Teamwork' Bobby Drake replies, before asking if he should lead an X-team or not. They are sitting opposite each other in a restaurant called Pho Gettaboutit, in Midtown. 'Can I state the obvious?' Rictor asks. 'Neither of us want to be here, Rictor?' Bobby replies. 'That much was clear when you asked me out for lunch, not dinner. Plus, I have a real name' Rictor mutters. Bobby apologizes to Julio on all accounts, adding that he thought dating a fellow queer X-Man would be a better fit, but they have both spent the better part of pho talking about their exes. 'I guess we're trying to ignore the fact that we can't get what we want' Bobby supposes. Rictor admits that he isn't being much fun, either – as Shatterstar is the only person he has got eyes on, whether he likes it or not. He adds that the quiet, stoic type is what he needs, as Bobby's nervous banter gets exhausting.
Bobby's phone begins to ring, and he tells Rictor to hang on, as it's a true end to their date – 'It's my mommy' he jokes. 'Hey, Mom, is it important?' Bobby greets his mother, Madeline Drake, who is nervously looking out the window of her home, and tells Bobby that he needs to come out to the house.
Bobby hangs up and Rictor asks him if everything is all right. 'Sort of. How do you feel about Long Island? This will be fun, swear' Bobby grins.
Flashback:'This will be fun, I swear!' a very young Bobby Drake grins to a classmate. 'Hurry, he's coming! That snow is probably slush at this point!' Bobby's classmate exclaims as he opens the classroom door as their teacher walks towards the classroom. Bobby holds a snowball in his hands and tells the other boy not to worry, as for some reason his hands stay cold for a really long time.
The boys hide in a closet in the classroom, as the teacher enters the room. 'Finally... weekend here I come!' he declares, while the boys laugh – and suddenly hear their teacher shout 'AUUUUGH!' before the teacher opens the closet door and drags them both out, 'Which one of you boys came up with the snow-in-the-boots prank? Pneumonia isn't funny!' the teacher exclaims, his boots sopping wet. 'It was all Bobby, Mr Winklestein!' the other boy tattles. 'What? You told me to do it!' Bobby retorts, while their teacher holds them by their ears. The other boy points his finger at Bobby and tells the teacher that he forced him to guard so he could brag to everyone. 'I swear to God, Mr Winklestein! He's trying to be the class clown!' the other boy remarks, while Bobby realizes that his parents are going to kill him.
Present:Bobby and Rictor stand on the front lawn of the Drake house in Long Island. Bobby's parents Madeline and William are with them, as they look across the road, where a house is glowing with pink energy. William remarks that Mr Poklemba has always been a little strange, that he keeps to himself for the most part and is probably retired. He adds that he saw Poklemba rambling to himself at an Home Owners Association meeting, and Madeline declares that he was worried about mutants – it was the only thing he would talk about. 'Those are powers flying out of his house, right? We heard noises and now that' Madeline asks.
Bobby tells Rictor to come with him, as they will go neutralize this geezer and get him to Kitty. Madeline grabs Bobby's hand and tells him that Mr Poklemba may be peculiar, but asks Bobby to be kind to him. She adds that she feels awful, wondering if he keeps to himself because he doesn't want the neighbors finding out, and that he is always alone, she thinks he's probably scared. 'This is a first' Madeline adds. Bobby smiles at his mother and assures her they will be “downy gentle”.
Across the road, Bobby and Rictor stand on the front porch. 'Hey!' Bobby exclaims as Rictor uses his vibration powers to knock the front door down. 'We knocked...' Rictor remarks. They steps inside and examine the house, which is in a dire state – rubbish and filth everywhere. 'This week on “Hoarders”...' Bobby mutters.
'Bobby, look out!' Rictor exclaims as some pink lights move towards them. 'As if, fireball' Bobby replies as he freezes the lights with ice. 'What the hell!' Rictor shouts, ducking as more lights burst out of the wall next to him. Rictor readies another vibration and asks Bobby what he thinks – telekinesis, or perhaps he is projecting all of this. Bobby finds a picture on the wall, 'Rictor, look at this... did he... draw all these?' Bobby wonders, looking at the picture.
Flashback:'It's just a drawing! It's no big deal!' William Drake shouts as Madeline holds up a drawing of the Drake family – William, Madeline, Bobby... and a snowman. “Not a big deal?” Madeline quotes, asking William how long they can keep pretending there is not a problem here. She tells her husband to put it all together – that it is the same thing every time – snow pranks in July, these weird drawings, puddles all around the house that don't smell like pee. 'You want me to be the one to say it?' William asks. 'You think we're raising a little mutie?' he exclaims, gritting his teeth angrily. Madeline declares that she does, and that if it is true, they have to do something now before it becomes a problem. They are unaware Bobby is standing outside the room listening to them – until there is a bump and a crash, and Madeline goes into the corridor, where she finds a vase has fallen from a table in the corridor. Madeline doesn't see Bobby sitting around the corner and tells William that the wind knocked over the vase his sister gave them. 'I'll clean it up in a minute – where was I?' she remarks, while Bobby thinks to himself that it isn't true – he isn't a mutant. 'Please God, don't make me a mutant. I won't be a mutant. I'm not crazy. I'm not a mutant'.
Present:Rictor looks at the various pictures taped the walls and tells Bobby that his mom's neighbor seems a little loony. 'I don't think that's PC. He'll need a little extra TLC, that's all' Bobby replies, adding that from what he can tell, Mr Poklemba's powers seem to affect things on an elemental level. Rictor asks Bobby if he thinks he can stabilize this guy, to which Bobby replies 'Like my mom said, he's scared. We'll walk him through the birds and the bees of mutantdom'. Bobby looks at Rictor and points out that they can't stress Mr Poklemba out any further, and that mutants are triggering to him, so they have to be careful about their approach – when suddenly, a middle aged man in a dressing gown lumbers towards them, scissors in one hand, clippings in another, he asks them what they are doing in his house. Bobby begins to introduce himself as the son of Mr and Mrs Drake, but Mr Poklemba releases more of the pink energy towards Bobby, who switches to his ice-form and blocks the blasts with an ice-shield. 'I was warned about you mutants! I'm not like you!' Poklemba shouts, angrily.
'You hear that, Ric? Not a mutant' Bobby remarks, as suddenly, the floor beneath them gives way as Poklemba's powers dart about the floor, and Rictor falls into a large open hole, while Bobby maintains himself on an ice-slide. He calls out to Ric, who screams, before landing on the basement floor. Bobby asks Ric if he is all right down there, and reports that Poklemba locked himself in his room. 'I'm fine... for now' Ric calls back.
Looking around the basement he sees more pictures, and more sparks of energy dart about. Ric instructs Bobby to calm Poklemba down, as he is only getting more agitated and losing control. Bobby replies that he will come get Ric, then they can take Poklemba together, but Rictor assures Bobby that his seismic powers have got him safe, so the quicker Bobby takes him out, the quicker this all goes away. 'I trust you!' Rictor adds as he uses his powers to knock back some debris which is suddenly flung towards him.
Flashback:'Charles may trust you, Magneto... but I never will' Cyclops remarks as he looks out a window in the X-Mansion. 'Seriously pensive, Slim' Bobby calls out as he slides towards Scott, and asks him if they can chat for a second. 'Of course' Scott tells his longtime teammate. Bobby switches from his ice-form to his blue and white costume, and prefaces by saying that this may be a topic for Storm, but that she is always necking with Forge in the rain – even indoors. Bobby then explains to Scott that he feels different after the fight on Asteroid M – like he is more powerful, like he can have a big role in the X-Men. He switches back to his ice-form and leaps back onto an ice-slide, as Wolverine strides into the corridor and declares that the Cajun Rat ain't treating Rogue right, and that he is hanging with Jubilation and being a bad influence.
'Logan!' Scott exclaims, before asking Iceman if they can talk later, as Wolverine is angry. 'Way to prioritize me over someone you seemingly loathe, Cyke' Bobby thinks to himself, before frowning and looking sad as he replies 'Yeah... sure. My stuff can wait'.
Present:Bobby knocks on the door to Poklemba's room and wonders if he should show him the beauty of their powers, but decides that is too cheesy. 'Time's running out, Iceman!' Rictor calls out from down in the hole. 'This is madness!' Rictor exclaims as he releases more power, he warns Bobby that if he can't get Poklemba to calm down, then this house is kaput. 'At the rate he's going, he's gonna destroy the entire foundation of the house with us in it!' Rictor exclaims. 'That would be bad for the neighborhood property value' Bobby remarks, to which Ric tells him that nervous banter does not save lives. 'Seriously, Bobby. Handle it!' Rictor shouts, annoyed as he casts forth more energy against the debris blasting towards him.
Bobby looks at the walls and wonders if there is anything he can do with the apocalyptic drawings and news clippings about X-Men. He is already feeling the implicated weight of talking one guy down from the ledge in light of his abilities to run a team. 'Also, wow – did we really get all this bad press?' Bobby wonders, looking at the articles taped to the walls.
'Iceman...!' Rictor shouts as large rock creatures rise up from the floor, materializing from Poklemba's power. 'Okay, fine! I'm on it!' Bobby calls back as he creates some ice-armor around his body, and an ice-sword. 'The visions keep coming, the slip-ups happen. I know God is listening!' Poklemba shouts from within his room – which is also a mess. Energy darts about the room as he declares that he prays and prays for these problems to go away. 'I won't be like you people. I WON'T BE LOCKED UP!' he shouts.
Bobby reverts to his human form and decides that a different approach is needed. He then opens the door to Poklemba's room and enters, telling the older man that if it feels like he is losing his mind, he is not. 'GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!' Poklemba shouts, angrily. He jumps onto his bed, and holds a baseball bat as he turns to Bobby. Energy rushes through the room, as the floor begins to rise and the walls begin to collapse in. Bobby greets Mr Poklemba and introduces himself as William and Madeline Drake's son. He asks Poklemba to put that thing down, so they can have a talk about kids and prayer. Bobby adds that he has no beef with a good pray, but promises Mr Poklemba that it won't fix everything.
Flashback:'Your parents say you've been praying, Bobby' a priest remarks, looking at some papers as he sits behind a desk in a stark office, telling the young boy sitting before him that his outbusts are occurring with more frequency. The young Bobby looks back at Pastor Block and assures him that he has tried everything – read the pamphlets he gave him, to which Pastor Block tells Bobby that his parents don't think he is trying hard enough. 'We can't be the only ones praying for you' he remarks, before asking Bobby if he has seen the news, about how mutants are treated – the disgusting ones forced to live in the sewers. 'Yes, but my friend Chris says -' Bobby begins, to which Pastor Block holds up a paper called “God's Order” and tells Bobby that propaganda always sounds interesting – that is how they convince the young and naive. He hands the papers to Bobby and tells him that he got these last week, and that the text may help guide him when he is weak. 'Is that why it feels good when my powers – outbursts – happen?' Bobby enquires. 'That's the definition of temptation, Bobby' the priest explains. Bobby tells him that he will try harder, and that he doesn't feel like a mutant. 'Attaboy' Pastor Block remarks, before asking Bobby if there is anything else he needs to discuss while he has his time. Bobby hangs his head and pauses, before responding 'No, Sir'.
Present:Bobby edges closer to Poklemba, 'Lemme guess how it feels inside your head – like a lot of hands. Big hands, little hands, all trying to grab your insides?' Bobby asks, adding that somewhere in the chaos is safety, but that he is too lost to pick the right hand. Poklemba continues to hold the bat up and explains that it is like noises, and he can't figure out which one to listen to. Bobby asks Poklemba to lower his body temperature to settle his nerves, then he can take him to get help. Bobby assures Poklemba that he will only do that when he is ready. 'You're in control here, buddy' Bobby adds.
Back in the basement, Rictor is trying to hold off the rock creatures that rise from the ground. 'Iceman! Hurry up and put him down already!' Ric calls out.
'Liar' Mr Poklemba snarls. 'LIAR!' he shouts as he releases more energy into the room, which rocks about, and energy spirits move towards Bobby – who suddenly flash-freezes the entire room. 'Okay, needed to ease the tension. But see – you remain unfrozen. I'm on your side. We're going to walk out of this house together' Bobby tells Mr Poklemba, who looks around, confused.
Bobby holds up one of the articles from the wall and tells Poklemba that they can do something, help him control his powers. 'You're terrorists' Poklemba declares. 'Some of us are, but the X-Men aren't' Bobby responds. Poklemba appears calmer, and asks Bobby how he knows they won't lock him up and kill him – call him a weapon and destroy him. Bobby asks who “they” are, and asks whether reality can be worse than what he is putting himself through now. Back in the basement, Rictor is overwhelmed by the creatures, who are starting to smother him. 'If Frosty can't finish this, I gotta take care of it -' Ric utters, when suddenly, the lights and the creatures vanish. 'Or not. I can't believe he actually did it!' Rictor exclaims.
'... and I don't have to be a super hero. Or hurt anyone?' Poklemba asks as he sits on the edge of his bed. Bobby sits next to him and replies 'Only if you want to on the first part, only if you have to on the second'. Bobby then admits to Poklemba that he had a hard time coming to terms with being a mutant, and for a very long time, he thought “If I have a kid, I pray they don't end up like me”. Bobby adds, that it was like the child's life would be easier if they didn't have to be a mutant, but nowadays, he knows everything he loves about his life comes from that part of his identity. 'You can go back to being quiet Mr Poklemba down the street, if you want' Bobby adds. Poklemba tells Bobby that is comforting, and that he doesn't mind being alone. Bobby smiles and reveals that he knows a lot about having your status quo upended. 'And I got you beat when it comes to personal introspection avoidance. Say that five times fast'.
Flashback:'It's Storm. She wants everyone in the cafeteria' Bobby informs his time-displaced younger counterpart, and his teammate, Marvel Girl. 'You good with all this?' the younger Bobby asks. 'Gooder than good. Goodest' Bobby replies. 'Another thing I'm already “gooder” than you at – grammar!' young Bobby teases. Bobby assures them that he is fine, and tells the time-lost mutants that he will catch up with them in a second. But when they are gone, he switches to his ice-form, and smacks items off a desk. 'NOT NOW!' he shouts, angrily. 'Nosy redhead, destruction-bringing... time-traveling life-unraveling little ice twerp! I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW!' Bobby decides that he needs to get out of here, needs to think – and needs to stop thinking out loud. He covers his face and wonders where he goes, and what he does: “Hi Dad, I really need to talk to someone who won't judge me for having unresolved feelings for men. Got a sec”? Bobby mocks. 'Ugh' he groans, before he returns to his human form and tells himself to deal with that later, to go and be Iceman. 'You'll still be a mess tomorrow' he remarks. 'What's one more day?'
Present:'Wow, all that happened because he felt put on the spot? He'll be okay though' William Drake remarks as he speaks to Bobby on his cellphone. Bobby is back at the Xavier School and slides out the main entrance on an ice-slide, telling his father that “okay” is generous, that Poklemba spent a long time stewing in that house. He adds that the teachers at the Institute will help him make sense of what is going on. Bobby then thanks his father for calling him, rather than the cops. 'Your mother's idea' William replies, before asking Bobby if he wants to come back and tell her this story in person. 'Your mom – we wouldn't mind seeing you' William adds. 'Olive branching, are we?' Bobby smiles, as his ice-slide moves higher and higher above Central Park, he tells his father that he will come by this weekend – as right now, he kinda needs some time to be alone and think.

Untitled
Bobby Drake walks through Hell's Kitchen, New York. He thinks to himself that there was a time when darkness devoured these sidewalks, when the air rang with gunshots and the violent cries of hapless victims – whatever “hapless” means. Bobby remembers that a man in red devoted his life to protecting the streets – and now, it is where lonely gay guys go to strike out to fuel sad-boy vibes. 'Or they still fight crime. Just in flashier clothes...' Bobby decides.
But suddenly, as he passes a busy sidewalk, where people are enjoying their evening, several other people run towards him, 'Somebody call the cops!' a man shouts, as flames burst from a nearby building. Inside, a plump woman is on a stage, 'This is not the kind of death drop I signed up for' she calls out as the flames surround her. Thankfully, swirls of ice douse the flames, and Iceman slides into the room, 'Hey...lemme ask you a question...' Bobby calls out as he reaches out and pulls the woman onto his ice-slide.
'So, I'm out here trying to meet guys...' Bobby begins as he and the woman ice-slide out of the burning building, while nearby on the sidewalk, a man in a baseball throws another flaming bottle towards the building, 'Eat ##### fairies!' he shouts. 'Be with you in a second!' Bobby remarks as he traps the homophobe in a solid block of ice. Bobby continues talking to the woman, telling her that he is a catch, he hates when people say that, but he is cute, and smart enough to know that guy in the ice now has about four minutes before hypothermia sets in. He explains that when he was dating girls, it wasn't so hard, but now – he isn't really translating. Bobby remembers earlier that night at a nightclub, 'I said, I believe you dropped this on the dance floor!' he called out  to another guy, holding up an ice-shoe. 'WHAT?' the other man asked, confused.
'Anyway, I just keep wondering... what's wrong with me?' Bobby asks the woman. 'Honey, if you save men from burning buildings, you should be up to your knees in -' the woman begins, 'Morlocks?' Bobby asks as a piece of paper floats through the wind towards him.
The next day inside the Danger Room control booth at the Xavier Institute in Central Park, Bobby is sitting in a meditative position in the control booth as Kitty Pryde walks towards him and asks if he shouldn't be paying attention to his students' training session. 'Good point, Headmistress Kitty' Bobby replies. 'But nah. Most of them are still in the button-mash  phase of using their powers. No coordination, no plan. I can literally manage my golem and mediate on my powers' Bobby explains, adding that the students wanted Danger Room time, and he wanted them to learn teamwork, so it is a win-win. Inside the Danger Room, Eye-Boy, Glob Herman, Oya, Michaela Ladak and Anole are running from a large ice-golem. 'Michaela, if you're such a Beyonce fan, learn to stay in formation!' Oya exclaims. Michaela replies that she is trying, and points out that Queen Bey didn't have to fight monsters during her Superbowl performance.
Back in the control booth, Bobby hands Kitty the piece of paper he found floating around Hell's Kitchen. Kitty looks at the paper, which is a “Missing” poster and indicates that a Morlock is missing. Kitty remarks that that is strange, but points out that the Morlocks don't usually want the X-Men's involvement. 'Nor do they come up from the sewers and put up flyers asking for help from a society that rejects them' Bobby adds, before suggesting that maybe there is a new group down there. He tells Kitty that he wants to go down into the catacombs tomorrow and investigate, as the cops certainly aren't going to help. Kitty tells Bobby to do it, and adds that he is going to need backup in case it is extra hostile. Kitty offers to coordinate with Storm, Bishop, Nightcrawler and Psylocke, and asks Bobby if that is a good enough team, adding that she thinks Prestige is available, too. 'Uh... yeah!' Bobby replies.
Back in the Danger Room, Eye-Boy looks frightened as the ice-golem slams a large hand down on him, Michael Ladak spits at the ice-golem, while Oya blasts it with fire. The ice-golem knocks Oya out of the way, 'Not today, ice-monst -' Michaela begins, before the ice-golem sits on her, forcing her to the ground. 'That's what you get for telling me Judah has a new boyfriend! And for following him on social media!' Bobby calls out to Michaela. 'But his stories have so many pics of his ab game!' Michaela calls back.
The next day: 'You ready?' Lucas Bishop asks as he sits in one of the mansion living rooms, slicing an apple with a knife, and looking up at Bobby, sternly. 'One sec' the surprised Bobby, wearing his 1990s blue costume, replies. 'Something wrong?' Bishop asks, walking over to Bobby, who tells him that Kitty painted a different picture, and that he is just checking on something. He texts Kitty and asks why his backup team is just Bishop, adding that Bishop is his favorite mutant from the future, but reminds Kitty that she promised him a team. Kitty reports that Jean and company needed help, as Searebro is under attack. 'Fine' Bobby replies, adding that Kitty could have told him. Kitty apologizes and tells Bobby that he knows he can handle it on his own anyway. Bobby turns back to Bishop and waves at him, telling him he is back. 'Yay, Iceman and Bishop team-up. When the law isn't enough, ice is back with a brand-new addition!' Bobby jokes. 'No' Bishop replies.
Shortly, Bobby and Bishop make their way through the underground Morlock tunnels, with Bishop shines a torch forward to light their way. Bobby asks Bishop how he has been, to which Bishop informs him that he teamed up with some of the other X-Men and fought the Shadow King,  a guy he hates, and reminded him that he is constantly failing at future disasters. 'Telepaths – don't even get me started!' Bobby replies, before informing Bishop that he semi-led an X-team when the ladies were in non-exploitation movie prison, but that being the leader isn't all that much fun. Bishop ignores Bobby's comments and tells him to go left, as they are getting close. Bobby slides alongside Bishop and asks him if he hs okay taking directions from him. 'Pursuing outcast mutants in their dingy underground lair with Iceman isn't, like, the ideal situation. But – I'm making it fun!' Bobby exclaims.
Bishop suddenly, steps on something in the water. 'Aw, no.' he utters as he shines his torch down and sees a green-skinned mutant lying in the water. 'Crap. I didn't want to actually need backup' Bobby remarks, when suddenly, they hear a loud crashing noise, and someone shouts 'Come at me – try me!' and Bobby points out that their troubles have begun. They rush down another tunnel, and find two Morlocks being set upon by two men and a woman wearing blue costumes. 'Madin! To your left!' a gray-skinned mutant with gills telepathically calls out to the purple-skinned mutant who displays some sort of energy blade from their wrist while fighting one of the men in blue, who carries energy-battons. The other male in the blue costume rushes over to Madin and fiires energy at Grimlock, who dodges the attack, and tells the other Morlock, Grimlock, to stay back. 'They're being attacked by -' Bishop begins. 'Other ###### mutants' Bobby gasps.
Bobby slides into the battle and creates a large ice-fist which he uses to punch the mutant with the energy powers way from Madin. 'Mutant-on-mutant crime? Never okay!' Bobby exclaims. Madin lunges at Bobby, but her energy blades miss. 'The X-Men want in on this purge, too?' Madin asks. 'What? We're here to save you' Bobby replies. Grimlock tells Madin that he reads Iceman, and that he isn't lying – the X-Men are here to help stop this onslaught. 'Stop what? Iceman, what did we walk into here?' Bishop asks as he stands over Grimlock to protect him. 'Oh, only a mutant massacre!' the other male in blue exclaims as he runs forward, fists glowing with flaming energy, while the woman appears to use telekinesis to lift some rocks and hurl them towards the X-Men. But Bobby responds by trapping the man with the fire-hands in ice-bonds, and Bishop lunges at the woman, knocking her backwards. 'What gives with the targeted attacks?' Bishop asks.
The woman tells him that they are doing mutantkind a favor, boasting that their population is better off without this unsavory filth hiding in the shadows. Bishop's fist glows with energy as he holds it up above the woman's face, 'Facts' he demands. The one trapped in the ice-bonds reveals that they are part of a group on the dark web and are already thirteen members strong. He adds that a new user came on last week and then they alll had information in their heads – coordinates and images. 'I was just saying – telepaths. Don't get me started!' Bobby mutters, adding that he is shaking off the joke habit. 'You're still trash' he tells the man in the blue costume, before punching him in the face, knocking him out. Bobby tells Bishop that someone set them up to do this, and they're in a button-mash situation all over again.
Bishop and Madin look at Bobby in silence. 'Man, I've seen you teach students. I know you're able to speak directly and coherently...what are you talking about?' Bishop declares. Bobby smiles and tells Bishop that this baker's dozen of faux-Marauders has no strategy. 'We control the fight'. He then offers to sled through the sewers and handle this with some ice-golems. 'No' Madin tells Iceman, pointing out that the Marauders will come back twice as hard when the X-Men aren't around. 'I'm fixing your problem -' Bobby begins, 'With a band-aid. I can't risk dozens of lives so you can pat yourself on the back' Madin declares. Iceman asks Bishop to guard Grimlock while she sends out a suggestion to Dark ABBA. 'You wanna draw them out in whole? They've all got powers and are trigger-happy, Iceman' Bishop asks. Bobby replies that he isn't showboating, and offers to corral up any straggler Morlocks 'With, uhhhh...' Bobby remarks, looking at the purple-skinned mutant who replies 'Madin works'. Bobby smiles at Madin and tells her that she has the numbers, so how about they lead the bad guys to where the heart is?
Soon, in another part of the Morlock Tunnels, two other faux-Marauders have several Morlocks backed up against a wall. 'Do you hear something?' one of the Marauders asks as they move in towards the Morlocks – but before they can strike, they are knocked over by two beams of ice as Bobby slides in on an ice-sled, which Madin clings to as well. 'So, why do it?' Bobby asks. 'What?' Madin enquires. 'Live in the sewers. The Xavier Institute has a pretty lax open-door policy' Bobby replies, to which Madin tells him that he assumes every single mutant wants to live in that mansion, where violence is the first choice. 'I wasn't...I -' Bobby begins, as Madin reveals that she was inches away from being the first purple kid at Sarah Lawrence, but her brother wasn't so lucky – being a foot shorter than everyone else and shrieking like a girl at a Taylor Swift show is a rough way to turn 13.
Madin continues, revealing that her Aunt Dee kicked her brother out the minute neighborhood boys started calling Ash “Screamer”, and she couldn't leave him, didn't make it long until all they had were the sewers, and suddenly, she is responsible for her brother, who is now missing. 'You'd never understand that' Madin declares. Bobby tells Madin that he may act like the class clown, but that he comes through, as he has been doing this since high school. 'I'm good at the saving mutants stuff' Bobby assures her. Madin tells Iceman that she is out of options, and that his friend barely like this plan. 'So please be right' she asks.
Soon, in the Morlock safe haven called the Catacombs, a large open space in the tunnels where old subway trains have been left to rot, a large number of the faux-Marauders have gathered. 'Wait...where are they? You told me the Morlocks were all down here hiding in this garbage heap area' one of them exclaims. The all turn at the sound of Bishop's voice: 'My friend Grimlock here is sorry for putting those thoughts in your head. But you owe her an apology for that line about the heap...you're talking about her home!' Bishop exclaims, frowning, and energy glowing around his hands as he strides towards the faux-Marauders, with Grimlock at his side. 'Our home!' a Morlock with crab-like pincers exclaims as he and several others step from the shadows and begin to surround the faux-Marauders.
The Marauders look up as Iceman appears above them on his ice-sled, Madin and several others are with him. 'Here is where you schmmucks are never allowed. Recognize, this is the Morlocks' base of operations. It's their safe space. And you're not welcome here' Bobby tells them, before pointing out that even without the X-Men's help, the Morlocks still out number them. Indeed, more Morlocks appear and close in around the Marauders, as Bobby tells them that they can find out what happens when the Marauders don't have the element of surprise anymore – or they can surrender. 'What's it gonna be?' he asks. One of the Marauders angrily points up at Iceman and tells him that he doesn't understand, as he explains that the only way they will effectively bridge the gap between humans and mutants is by being – and looking – more alike. 'This cleanse is for the future of homo superior!' he shouts.
'Ew, what? No. why would I ever vibe with that?' Bobby asks, adding that his thing is making jokes in a dark and dreary world. 'How is that on-brand with genocide?' he enquires. 'You could be the ideal mutant, you align yourself with these -' the Marauder begins, before Madin shouts 'Enough! They want a massacre... let's give them one!' while Bobby leaps from the ice-sled, 'Sorry to clobber you!' he shouts as he lands on the ground and sends a wave of ice over three of the Marauders, trappping them. 'With pleasure' Bishop declares as one Marauder fires a yellow energy beam from their eyes, which Bishop absorbs and re-directs at another Marauder, striking them down.
'I light, we fight!' Madin calls out as she drops down into the battle. 'We fight!' other Morlocks call out as they use their powers against the Marauders – one extends snake-like arms around a Marauder, while another with wings fires some sort of acid at a different Marauder. Bobby uses an ice-golem to keep several Marauders busy, as Madin fights her foe head-to-head. 'Ooh, I like your catchphrase, Ultra Light Beam' Bobby calls out to Madin as he fires a beam of ice into the battle. 'Don't call me that' Madin snaps back, while Bishop punches a Marauder out and admits that this was a good plan. 'There's Iceman everywhere! Fall back!' one of the Marauders shouts, while a male Marauder suddenly slips away from the battle, down another tunnel, 'Nope... I did not sign up to get arrested by the X-Men...' he mutters.
Soon: 'Gimme a Spider-Man kiss!' Bobby calls out to the Maurader who he has hanging from the ceiling by an icicle. '###### you!' the Maurader snaps back. 'As if. I'm saving myself for Captain America' Bobby declares. 'You done?' Bishop asks as he cuffs another Marauder and tells Bobby that is the last one. 'Yup. I hate these clowns' Bobby replies, while Bishop reports that none of them have any intel on Madin's brother, Ash. 'Sounds like a case for the hottest new team on the streets, Iceshop!' Bobby suggests, before pausing, and admitting that the name needs some work. Madin approaches Bobby and Bishop and tells them that she knows their worlds haven't always lived harmoniously, but that it means a lot that somebody came to try and help.
'So many of us have family that we'd risk anything to save. For my sister, Shard, I went so far as to have her mind put in a -' Bishop begins, interrupted when Bobby exclaims 'Yeesh, Bishop, can you please stop making everything about yourself!?' Bobby smiles and assures Madin that they will get the X-Men to devote more resource to this case. The Morlocks look on and cheer as Bobby and Bishop sled away, with the faux-Marauders trapped on the ice-sled as well. 'Seriously, we've got your back. I promise not to be fair-weather neighbor anymore' Bobby calls out.
Elsewhere, in some sort of laboratory, a man leans over a table, where another man with red skin lies, motionless. The first man wears a mask over his face, and calls out 'Did you thin the herd?' as the remaining Marauder approaches him. 'They...beat us' the Marauder admits. 'I don't miscalculate. Their numbers have swelled the way all vermin does, and needed to be winnowed, yes...but you had more than enough to complete the cleanse, with one simple rule: bring me bodies' the man leaning over the table reminds the Marauder, before asking him why he failed. 'We were prepared to hunt some Morlocks. But X-Men?' the Marauder responds, reporting that Iceman and Bishop somehow found out about them and organized an attack – that the Morlocks had an entire army of Iceman on their side, so they were surrounded. 'I have two children – please don't kill me' the Marauder adds. 'Iceman... he made an army all on his own? Iceman. Fascinating...' the man leaning over the table remarks, pulling his mask away and revealing himself as Mr Sinister!
The Xavier Institute in Central Park, 'KITTY!' Bobby shouts as he and Bishop return. Bishop tells Bobby to slow down, but Bobby is annoyed: 'She trivialized my thing to help out Jean Grey and the already-elite X-Men, and we had to prevent Mutant Massacre Volume 2!' Bobby exclaims. 'So?' Bishop asks. 'Kitty shout know my instincts were right!' Bobby declares. 'She does, man' Bishop tells Bobby, before offering to give him some “Hindsight being 20/20” advice. 'Fine, but only because of your background in time travel' Bobby replies. 'First, the obvious – you think my day was supposed to be playing ride-along with you? No. But my leader has a lot on her plate, and she doesn't need a whiner in her ranks – she needs soldiers' Bishop declares, reminding Bobby that they got the job done, and that is the point. He suggests that Bobby report his findings after he has checked his ego.
'Hey, guys' Jubilee calls out as she approaches Bobby and Bishop in the corridor. 'Whoa. What has two eyes, compulsively chews gum and is the polar opposite of her Jubilation namesake' Bobby mutters. 'Ya face!' he laughs. 'I knew I'd need this' Jubilee replies, holding up a jar stuffed with money, and a label that reads “clunky dad joke jar”. Bobby puts some money into the jar as Jubilee informs him that he has a visitor. 'Oh God, is it my parents again?' Bobby asks, to which Jubilee tells him that she honestly can't remember. 'Whatever. Let it be my ex-boyfriend and my parents drinking tea with all my ex-girlfriends. I just helped saved the Morlocks, sorted out an idea for a buddy cop movie with Bishop... what can't I face?' Bobby points out, before walking into another room, he closes the door, and turns to see who is inside: 'Oh' he remarks solemnly. 'Now, now, darling. If you hold that expression any longer... your face is going to freeze like that' exclaims the woman holding a glass of alcohol in her hand as she sits upright in a chair across the room – Emma Frost!
