Hateful (2nd Story) <br>Weapon Omega, part 3 (3rd story)
Second Story:
Outside what appears to be an abandoned building, two men stand guard. The larger of the two tells the other “I do not trust the white-haired man.” He adds that he has heard that this man is mad for power, worse than even Stalin. The other man questions who has said this and asks if it may have been the “human media”. The larger mutant says that he does not see why Whisper would wish to be friends with a person like this. The other guard explains that Whisper knows his limits and his comrade argues that Whisper has no limits. His friend says that the power to steal the knowledge of anyone on the planet cannot stop a bullet. The larger mutant retorts that he possesses the knowledge of presidents and scientists but the other points out that despite all this information, he has done nothing. He adds that the man they are there to meet tonight has physical power beyond his imagination. The other man asks why he thinks that Whisper is meeting him. The smaller man explains that this man shares Whisper’s goal of ensuring that mutantkind is not herded and slaughtered like animals. He believes that together, these two mutant leaders will be unstoppable.
At that moment, Magneto arrives, flanked by the mutant twins Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. The smaller guard orders him to stop where he stands and prove who he is. The larger grabs a large piece of wood and wields it menacingly. Wanda gestures and the wood splinters and snaps in his hands. Pietro zooms past them and reports that these are the only guards on the perimeter of the building.  Magneto demands to know where Whisper is and states that he does not wish to waste his time here. One of the guards questions his statement that this is a waste of time and Magnus replies that he was asked to meet here with no explanation. The smaller guard replies that Whisper knows the power of information and reveals only that which is needed but that he should never doubt the man’s dedication to the mutant cause. He explains that Whisper has vowed that mutants will not fall to slaughter as he witnessed in Auschwitz. Hearing this, Magneto’s eyes widen and he demands to be taken to Whisper.
Whisper proves to be an older man with spectacles. He sits in an inner chamber of the building. He greets Magneto and thanks him for coming. He begins to ask for forgiveness for his secrecy. Magneto removes his helmet, approaches Whisper and embraces him, much to the surprise of the other mutants present. Magnus tells him that there is no trouble he would not go to for their cause. Whisper says “Very good” and politely invites Magneto to sit with him.
 He asks if he had trouble getting to the “east side” and Magnus replies that if a simple wall caused him any difficulty he would hardly be a worthy ally. Whisper begins in earnest and tells Magneto that he prefers to be direct now that they are face to face. He tells Magneto that he can see plainly that the cycle of genocide has started anew and that all it will take is an increase in fear to tip the scales against mutantkind. Magneto predicts that from there, concentration camps and extermination are inevitable. Whisper says that this is why they must be proactive. Magneto states that mutantkind’s physical powers give them a fighting chance.
Whisper believes that mutants must be taught that they are hated by humanity and should not attempt to passively avoid trouble since it will only lead to their deaths. Magnus agrees and adds that trying to integrate into human society will not succeed either. Whisper agrees. He shares that he only goes by the name Whisper now and has given up his human name, Karl Reifschneider.
Magneto is taken aback at hearing this name. He remembers it instantly and his eyes turn white with rage. He rises and sends his chair flying at Whisper. He confronts him as the chair pins him to the wall with the fact that he was not a prisoner at Auschwitz but a Nazi soldier.
 Whisper struggles to breathe as the chair presses against his throat. He stammers that he is no longer that man. Magneto tells him that he watched as his family was marched into the gas chambers by men like him. Whisper tries to explain that he was too young to understand what it was they were doing. Magneto replies “I’ve heard every excuse, Nazi.”
 The large mutant guard grabs a massive wooden beam and moves to defend Whisper. With a gesture, the Scarlet Witch causes the beam to explode. Another mutant lunges at her but Quicksilver speeds to his sister’s rescue. He moves her from harm’s way and punches the other mutant before he realizes what has happened.
 The mutant behemoth again declares that he will not let them hurt Whisper. His wiser comrade from earlier tells him to stop and that he is choosing the wrong side. Magneto gestures casually and subdues the two by striking them with nearby pipes.
Whisper tells Magneto that his dedication to the cause is absolute. Magneto tells him that no one who slaughters innocents can understand what he is trying to accomplish for mutantkind.  Whisper offers to provide him with every secret he could possibly want to know. He tells Magnus that he can exercise his rage over deaths in the past or he can save lives in the future, but he cannot do both.
 Magneto glares at him and clenches his fist. Blood splatters across the Master of Magnetism’s face as he tightens the metal around Reifschneider’s throat.  As Magneto leads the mutant twins away from Whisper’s hideout, Wanda asks him why he did not choose to use Whisper to help save the lives of their fellow mutants. Magnus simply states “He would have been no help to us.” She continues to question him and he cuts her off, restating what he said before “He would have been no help to us.”
Third Story:
Canada, ‘Who’s this guy we’re chasing, again?’ asks Julia “Arachne” Carpenter as she and her Omega Flight teammate Dr. Walter “Sasquatch” Langkowski make their way through some woods. Sasquatch replies that the guy’s name is “Tentakill”, and adds that according to the coordinates from USAgent and Guardian, and extrapolating the direction in which Tentakill fled - it is hypothesized that he may be holed up somewhere in this area.
As if on cue, a run down old cabin comes into sight. The heroes approach it cautiously, and Sasquatch radios in to Omega Flight headquarters, announcing that they have discovered a possible location. At Omega Flight headquarters, Agent Brown and several scientists have Walter on view, and one of the scientists announces that the operatives have possible intercept with the target, and another exclaims that the containment team will be ready in five minutes.
Walter signals to Julia that they are going in, so Arachne knocks on the door. Inside the cabin, a man is reading a newspaper and eating some food from a can. ‘Hello! Anybody home?’ Julia calls out. Suddenly, the door creaks open, and the man peeks his head out. ‘Er…yes?’ he asks. ‘You Tentakill?’ Julia replies. ‘Um…no. Who are you?’ the green-and-yellow clad man asks. Julia ignores him momentarily as she communicates with headquarters, via the communicator on her wrist, announcing that contact has been made but that the individual is not Tentakill.
‘Um…who are you talking to?’ the man with odd facial hair asks, confused. Julia introduces herself as Arachne - of Omega Flight as the man opens the door, revealing almost a dozen other oddly dressed people inside. ‘I’m sorry?’ the man asks. ‘Omega Flight…Canada’s new premiere super hero team?!’ the former long-time Avenger West Coast / Force Works member replies. Agent Brown is watching the goings-ons via a communication device and somewhat annoyed, wonders what Arachne is doing.
‘Oh…’ the strange man utters in reply to Julia’s revelation that she is part of Omega Flight. One of the other criminals in the room swears, as their cover is blown, and they all stand up, readying their abilities. Julia holds her arms up and tells them all not to try anything rash, when, suddenly, ‘All this dump needs is a skylight!’ shouts Sasquatch as he rips open the cabin roof. The criminals all utter ‘Hey!’ ‘Ow!’ and the like, while Sasquatch grins, ‘A whole rat’s nest!’.
Back at headquarters, the scientists are still watching via the communications video device and announces that there is no visual on Tentakill, but they are counting nine other unidentified super-powered individuals. Agent Brown frowns as he walks out of the lab, ordering the scientists to let Sasquatch and Arachne know that when they’re done screwing around they can bring the criminals back to headquarters for processing. Agent Brown adds that he has other business to attend to.
Shortly, ‘Dr. Benning? It’s Agent Brown!’ the CSIS official declares as he knocks on Dr. Benning’s office door. Dr. Benning opens the door and asks Agent Brown what it is she can do for him, to which Brown replies that it is about Guardian, and asks her why she countermanded his orders to send Guardian out with the others today. Addressing Guardian by his real name, Michael, Dr. Benning replies that he needed rest, as they have been pushing him to the limit as it is.
Dr. Benning informs Agent Brown that Michael’s episode with the failed retrieval of Tentakill last week clearly indicated to her that he is being pushed too hard. Dr. Benning adds that the human psyche - especially an already damaged one - is a precarious balancing act. ’And we’re walking a very fine line as it is with Mr. Pointer’. Dr. Benning explains that is why she did not feel it prudent to send him back out right away, especially to revisit such a recent past failure.
Agent Brown replies that people fail all the time, and asks Dr. Benning whatever happened to the old “Get back up on the horse” adage?. Dr. Benning points out that they are not talking about skinned knees here. ‘We’re talking about death and destruction’. Dr. Benning declares that they need time, as right now, the conflict between Michael’s psyche and the power inside of him, in congruence with the Guardian suit’s systems trying to maintain the correct checks and balances, has overwhelmed him. Dr. Benning adds that the three separate entities are in constant conflict with one another, and therefore, the key is achieving the proper balance.
At the same moment that Brown and Benning are having their conversation, Michael Pointer a.k.a. the new Guardian is asleep in his quarters. “Spongebob Squarepants” is playing on the television. ‘Three crabby patties coming up!’ the cartoon sponge exclaims, when, suddenly, the television goes blank - only for a report on the devastation that Michael - possessed by the Collective - created to appear on the screen.
‘The devastation is horrific - we - we can’t tell yet if any members of Alpha Flight have survived…’ ‘Reports are also coming in now from the North Pole, Alaska, where this unknown assailant appears to have…to have…oh dear God…it appears that the entire town has been destroyed…there…there are no survivors…there are no survivors…there are no survivors…no survivors…no survivors…’ the news report keeps clicking over and over, strangely repeating itself, while the sleeping Pointer suddenly stirs, gritting his teeth as a wave of power comes over him, until suddenly, Spongebob appears back on the television. ‘The best day ever!’ the odd character grins.
Back on her office, Dr. Benning tells Agent Brown that eventually, Michael will “get back on that horse” as he put it. ‘And contrary to what you believe, I want nothing more’ Dr. Benning assures him. Agent Brown replies that he is not sure he agrees with Dr. Benning’s assessment, but he appreciates her concern for Guardian’s well-being. Exiting Dr. Benning’s office, Agent Brown remarks that he has other business to attend to, but would like to discuss this further when they have a chance. ‘Of course, Agent Brown…I look forward to our speaking again’ Dr. Benning replies.
Meanwhile, in a quarantined area, a couple of men put a woman, apparently deceased, her entire form shucked, onto a stretcher and remark that they will have to monitor this more closely next time. ‘The stresses were clearly greater than we’d anticipated’ one of them remarks. ‘We’ll have to slow it down a bit more…with the next one’ someone points out.
Elsewhere at Omega Flight headquarters, Agent Brown enters some sort of loading bay and a soldier informs him that the cargo has just cleared the South gate. Agent Brown thanks the soldier, as Johnny “USAgent” Walker approaches him, remarking that he heard Sasquatch and Julia bagged some super-baddies. ‘Tentaloser one of them?’ the handsome hero asks. Agent Brown matter-of-factly replies that Tentakill was not among them, but that his teammates did good work, as nine criminals have been contained. All illegal and unregistered. ‘A fortuitous mistake’.
‘”Fortuitous”?’ Johnny asks, smirking as he remarks that Brown sure likes using big college words. ’So, without using any more of them big fancy words, can I assume yer happy then? Even with it being a “mistake” and all?’ Johnny asks. ’Yes. Very’ a frowning Agent Brown replies, as both men glare at each other. Walker asks what is next then - ship the criminals back to the States and let Tony Stark’s boys deal with them. ‘Of course’ Brown replies, pointing out that is the agreement they have made with the United States and Mr. Stark. ‘What would you have us do with them?’ he asks, when suddenly, the transport vehicle arrives.
Sasquatch and Arachne keep watch as the chained criminals are all lead out. ‘I dunno…maybe train them to be more Omega Flight heroes?’ Walker asks, when suddenly, the criminal that Arachne spoke with earlier transforms and escapes his shackles, ‘No one cages Raptore!’ he declares as he appears in some sort of dinosaur form. ‘Who keeps coming up with these corn ball names?’ Sasquatch asks as he bonks Raptore on the head, before Arachne traps him in a psionic web. ‘Very funny’ Agent Brown mutters in reply to Walker’s comment. ‘Yeah…hilarious’ Walker replies sarcastically, unaware that elsewhere, the unknown woman is covered by a sheet - dead.

Weapon Omega, part 4 (Fourth Story)
Fourth Story:
CSIS Headquarters, home of Canada’s newest premiere super heroes…Omega Flight! Whom, ironically, are comprised of mainly American super heroes, such as long-time Avenger West / Force Works teammates Johnny Walker and Julia Carpenter a.k.a. USAgent and Arachne, formerly the second Spider-Woman, respectively. In the residential wing, Julia is preparing some food in the kitchen / dinning area, while Johnny is in the living area, playing a video game with Julia’s plucky daughter, Rachel.
‘All I’m saying is that “residual energy” is a lame explanation!’ Johnny, dressed in his the top half of his costume, and some star-spangled more comfortable looking slacks remarks. ‘How so?’ Rachel asks, not taking her eyes off the video game. Johnny replies that all of a sudden, Pointer has the power of a god and wastes everybody - everybody - then, he gets the power sucked out of him and thrown into the sun, but now, they are being told that he has some “residual power” left in him, and is still pretty powerful. ‘Yes?’ asks Rachel.
Johnny looks at Rachel out of the corner of his eyes and remarks that she didn’t see Pointer take on the Wrecking Crew like he did. Walker tells Rachel to ask her mother about it, as she was there. ‘“Pretty powerful” my ass’ Johnny almost says, but quickly replaces “ass” with “butt” aware that he is talking to a child. ‘That guy was still walking on water, far as I’m concerned’ Johnny remarks. ‘Something stinks’ he decides. ‘Wasn’t me…you’re the one had that nasty burrito for lunch’ Rachel grins. ‘Hilarious’ Johnny mutters as they continue their video game.
In Michael “Guardian” Pointer’s quarters, the new hero groans as he brushes his teeth. ‘I feel like…’ he mumbles in between brushes, the top part of his costume hanging around his waste, unaware that he is being watched by some of the CSIS scientists, one of whom remarks that he is showing no manifestations. But one of the other scientists replies that there should be something by now, and begins checking a spectral analysis. Pointer covers his face with a hand, before spitting his toothpaste out into the sink and wiping his mouth.
The scientists continue to watch him, one of them remarks that it looks like a no-go on the power transfer, when suddenly, they get a close-up up Pointer’s mouth from their cameras. ‘My god! Did you see that!?’ one of the scientists shouts, before calling out for Weapon Omega Leader to get in here. Examining the rather large canine teeth ‘27 percent and rising’ a scientist remarks. ‘Power levels spiking!’ another shouts. ‘The transfer was a success!’ another exclaims.
Pointer leaves his bathroom, unaware that some shark-fin like spikes are running down his spine, but seem to vanish as he pulls the top part of his costume up. ‘35 percent…still increasing!’ the scientists exclaim. ‘45...52...’. ‘I repeat - the transfer was a success!’ another of the scientists exclaims as Pointer puts on his helmet and gloves, while another remarks that they have achieved a 60 percent increase, and cellular assimilation is in progress.
Meanwhile, in Agent Brown’s office, the administrator for Omega Flight is having a video-link conversation with Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man and the Director of SHIELD in the States. Brown tells Stark that there has been significant progress with Michael Pointer and that he thinks Michael is well on his way to becoming a valuable asset to them. Tony asks Agent Brown if his technicians have determined the exact manner in which Michael processes energy yet, to which Brown replies that the analysis is incomplete, but that the prevailing theory indicates a bio-electric assimilation.
Stark replies that the current conclusion from his end is absorption of mutant energies and conversion into bio-electric charges also, before asking about the storage aspect of Pointer’s powers. Brown replies that their tests are inconclusive at this state, but that other energy-absorbing mutants have significant variations in the manner in which they store energies as well as in the matter those energies are initially acquired.
Brown continues, remarking that direct contact is not required in Pointer’s case, but that the degree of proximity does seem to bear relevance with the levels of absorption. Brown adds that Pointer also exhibit’s a seemingly greater-than-average capacity to store these energies. Stark replies that he finds that part the most intriguing - how he’s still utilizing the residual power from the Collective.
Brown asks Stark to understand that he is not a scientist, and is therefore just relaying the information as best he can, adding that he will continue to share the data as he receives it. Brown clicks on a computer file labelled “Pointer-Guardian-Stark” and informs Stark that he is sending him the files now. The file next to that one is labelled “Pointer-Guardian-WO. Confidential”.
From his chamber where he can access various things, Stark tells Brown to keep in mind that Pointer was willingly handed over to the Canadian government after the Alpha Flight incident. Stark assures Brown that any and all information SHIELD has gathered has been fully disclosed. ‘I’m sure it has, Mr. Stark’ Agent Brown replies, before asking Stark to keep in mind that Pointer - whether responsible for his actions or not - perpetrated those actions while on Canadian soil. ‘The murders in Alaska preceded those that occurred in Canada, Agent Brown’ Stark replies quickly.
Agent Brown pauses and frowns. ‘Of course’ he mumbles, before getting up from his desk and suggesting that dispense with this little dance. ‘Okay. Let’s Stark replies sharply, before Brown remarks that he is fully aware of Stark’s apprehension in handing Pointer over to them. ‘This was a political exchange and both you and I know it’ Brown remarks. ‘An exchange?’ Stark asks. Brown tells Stark not to play coy. ‘I may not be Tony Stark, but I am no idiot when it comes to politics’ Agent Brown declares, to which Stark replies that he never made such an assumption.
Agent Brown reminds Tony Stark that this is not the first time America has plated a role in the demise of the Alpha Flight program. ‘And the Canadian government has not forgotten’ he warns Stark. ‘Wolverine’ Stark replies. ‘Mr. Logan, yes’ Agent Brown remarks, adding that the loss of Wolverine set the program back years and cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars. Stark angrily replies that Pointer was sent to Canada as an act of good faith in helping with the ever growing problem of Registration Act violators crossing over into Canadian soil. ‘There are no conspiracies here’ Stark assures Brown.
‘Of course not’ Brown mutters, before Tony Stark reminds him that in the agreement drafted there was a provision allowing SHIELD scientists access to Pointer for direct examination twelve times a year. ‘I’d like to schedule one right now’ Tony asserts. ‘Certainly, Mr. Stark…’ Brown replies, before informing Tony that he is quite late for another obligation. ‘Let me make a note of this, and get right back to you after checking my calendar…I am sorry, but I am very busy’ Agent Brown remarks, before bidding Stark a good day, despite Stark’s protests.
Suddenly, in Stark’s chamber, an armored villain can be seen on one of the monitors. ‘You’re busy, Agent Brown?’ Stark mumbles while the villain threatens to crush Iron Man like the tin can he is. ‘It’s called multi-tasking!’ Iron Man exclaims as he arrives on scene and blasts the armored villain.
Back at the CSIS headquarters, Michael Pointer is engaged in a training session with some robot, monitored by the scientists. One of the scientists remarks that the transfer was a success, and that absorption levels were at 86 percent efficiency as projected. ‘Even without subject in immediate proximity of the donor’ another scientist remarks. ‘Very good…then I believe it’s time to start looking for more donors!’ someone wearing a suit but standing in the shadows exclaims….

Weapon Omega, part 5 (Fourth Story)
Fourth Story:
CSIS headquarters, ‘Pointer’s up’ one of the scientists monitoring Michael “Guardian” Pointer remarks to his colleagues. ‘Geez, he looks like crap’ another scientist remarks as they all watch the monitors displaying what is going on in Pointers’ room. ‘Ooohhh…’ Michael mutters as he clutches his head. ‘He’s looking at it!’ one of the scientists exclaims as Pointer looks at his red and white costume, laid out over a chair in his quarters. ‘He’s going for the suit!’ another exclaims as Michael gets off his bed and crosses the room to his costume. ‘Approaching…’ one of the scientists reports, as if they have to announce Michael’s every move.
‘He’s putting it on, Agent Brown!’ one of the scientists calls out to Agent Brown who sits watching the monitors, intently. ‘Okay…give him some!’ Agent Brown exclaims. ‘Nice and easy now!’ he adds. With the suit and helmet on Michael, one of the scientist begins controlling part of it, ‘18 percent…22...’ ‘Assimilating…levels increasing…’ another scientist remarks. ‘Nice and easy. Let the suit do the work!’ Agent Brown replies, as the assimilation goes up to 28 then 33 percent. Guardian glows in electromagnetic energy, while one of the scientists exclaims ‘Assimilation efficiency optimal. Rate of increase smooth and steady’.
Another scientist announces that it is steady at 37 percent and approaching the 40 percent target, while another assures Agent Brown that, although Pointer’s vitals are elevated, they are within acceptable parameters. ’Suit’s internal sensors indicating optimal integrity…’ another reports. ’Excellent!’ Agent Brown exclaims, before ordering more. All the scientists turn and look at Agent Brown in shock. ’Give him a bit more!’ Agent Brown orders, not taking his eyes off his monitor. Suddenly, the energies around Pointer increase, and Michael grins.
Elsewhere within the Canadian Secret Intelligence Services offices, home of Canada’s new premiere super team, the heroic Omega Flight. One such hero, the mighty John Walker a.k.a. USAgent knocks on the office door of Dr. E. Benning. ‘Mr. Walker’ the Doctor remarks as she opens her door. ‘Got a minute? I ain’t got an appointment’ the handsome hero remarks, while Benning’s secretary, Sandra apologizes to Dr. Benning, ‘I tried to explain to him that he needs to make an appointment’ she exclaims, but Dr. Benning assures her that it is all right, and asks Walker to come in.
Benning sits at her desk while Johnny looks around the office and picks up a book. ‘ID. Ego. Super-Ego. Load. Of. Crap’ Walker mumbles as he puts it back on the bookshelf, while Benning remarks that, going by USAgent’s comments, she supposes he does not subscribe to Freud’s theories. ‘What I “subscribe” to is a good kick in the butt!’ Walker declares. ‘So, metaphorically speaking, you believe the tough love approach is best when treating patients with issues regarding their mental health and well-being’ Benning replies.
‘Nooo, literally speaking, I’m saying that all’s they need is a good kick. In. Their. Butt!’ Johnny explains. ‘I see’. Benning replies. Johnny frowns at the Doctor, ‘Yeah, I know…you all just think I’m USAgent: the big, dumb jerk’. Johnny exclaims. ‘Maybe’ he adds, before declaring that life is tough, but get over it. ‘@*$# happens, you deal with it. That’s all you can do, right?’ Johnny exclaims, before telling Benning that the way he sees it, there are two types of people - the strong minded, and the weak. ‘That’s it…ya either crack under the pressure or ya don’t. Simple’. Johnny exclaims.
Hands pressed together, Benning replies ‘For some, yes, it is simple. But I don’t think it’s fair to generalize something as complex as the human psyche, Mr. Walker’. Benning declares that there are so many possible variables that factor into each patient’s specific problem - or problems. Benning adds that sometimes events, or outside influences that are beyond a patients control also factor into the equation.
‘Pointer’ declares USAgent. Benning smirks as she replies ‘That is who you are here to talk to me about, isn’t it, Mr. Walker?’, remarking that she doubts he came here to debate Freud with her. ‘Although I do so enjoy a good debate when it comes to the human mind. Is that what you’ve come?’ Benning exclaims. Johnny pauses, before replying ‘No. I did not’.
Benning asks the long-serving Avenger if he realizes that there is a doctor/patient confidentiality that she is ethically bound to, and informs Walker that she will not be sharing any information with regards to Michael Pointer’s state of health. Walker tells Benning to listen to him as he remarks they, believe it or not, both want the same thing here, and tells her that the bottom line is he doesn’t want Pointer out in the field if he isn’t able. ‘I don’t want him killing himself or anybody else…specifically I don’t want him killing me!’ Walker declares.
Johnny then tells Benning that Pointer is either strong enough to survive what he is going through, or he is not strong enough to survive it. ‘You don’t wanna tell me he’s a nut job or not, that’s fine with me…it’s on you, Doc’ Johnny tells Benning, reminding her that she has the power to pull Pointer out of the field, that she is the one to make that call. Johnny then raises his voice as he starts to leave Benning’s office: ‘Kick him in the butt or cut him loose! But for cripes sake, quit mollycoddling the poor jerk already!’. ‘A fascinating man!’ Benning tells herself once Walker has left her office, before paging Sandra, and asking her the whereabouts of Michael Pointer right now, as she would like to check in and see how he is doing.
Pointer is still in his quarters, and as his powers flare up around him, he wonders what is going on. One of the scientists reports that power levels are at 53 percent and quickly rising, approaching 65 percent now. ‘Readings are going crazy!’ another scientist exclaims. ‘Who’s there!? What…what is…’ Pointer exclaims, enraged almost. One of the scientists announces that Pointer is at 71 percent, while another shouts ‘He’s losing it!’. Another of the scientists remarks that this is not making any sense, as power levels are cascading beyond their fail-safes.
Pointer screams as the power rages out of control, when Agent Brown orders the scientists to power back down to 25 percent. ‘Stop! Can’t…’ Pointer mumbles, while the scientists all exclaim that this cannot be right. ‘Powering down!’ one of them shouts, while another exclaims that the systems are going haywire. ‘Levels decreasing…82 percent’ one of them remarks, before another informs Agent Brown that their communication systems have been breached, that he is locked out. ‘We’re receiving incoming messages…they’re flooding our systems!’.
‘Messages? What messages? What’re they saying?’ Agent Brown asks. ‘I’m not sure…it makes no sense!’ a scientist replies, while on the monitor: I hear you…I see you…so many!  is repeated over and over again. Another scientist reads out the power percentages as they decrease, 66 percent, 62, 57, before someone announces that Pointer’s vitals are stabilizing. ‘I think we’re out of the woods!’ another scientist remarks, while another repeats what was on the monitor: ‘I see you…’.
In his room still, Pointer pulls off the cybernetic helmet. ‘I…I hear you…’ he exclaims as he turns to his mirrored wardrobe doors. ‘What’s he doing?’ one of the scientists asks. ‘I see you!’ Pointer shouts. ‘Looking in the mirror, I think’ another scientist replies. ‘He - he’s looking at us!’ another exclaims, concerned. One of the scientists switches the main monitor to the mirror cam. ‘He knows. He’s looking right at us!’ one of the scientists exclaims. But Agent Brown declares that he doesn’t think that’s right, as Pointer’s eyes aren’t stationary, focused, but moving about. ‘Then what’s he looking at?’ a scientist asks. ‘I have no idea’ Agent Brown replies.
A scientist holds up some readings on paper and tells Agent Brown that there is something strange here. ‘What is it?’ Brown replies, to which the scientist explains that for a few seconds, his electrophalographic sensors registered 27 entirely different synaptic beta signatures….While, in his quarters, Pointer is still looking at the mirror - seeing other beings all around him, strange beings, all wearing his costume. ‘In English!’ Agent Brown snaps. ‘27 different brain waves, sir…’ the scientist explains….

Weapon Omega, part 6 (Fourth Story)
Fourth Story:
The Niagara Falls at the US / Canadian Border in the dead of night. The noise of the falling water shatters the silence, while the handsome Johnny Walker a.k.a. USAgent, currently serving in Canada as the leader of Omega Flight, stands in a deep cave hidden behind the falls, waiting - until his visitor arrives - Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man, Director of SHIELD. Johnny initially raises his SHIELD upon the arrival of the armored hero, but lowers it when Iron Man comments on the loudness of their meeting place. ‘Yep!’ Walker shouts back.
Tony then asks John what their status is. Walker tells Stark that he doesn’t know what his scientists are telling him but that Michael Pointer is still doing the “Galactus thing” up North. ‘And I ain’t getting squat from any of the brass up there. Nothing!’ Walker mutters, complaining about the Canadian Secret Intelligence Services administration. Walker continues, informing Star that the scientists are keeping Pointer under wraps good, and that he has hardly seen him since the Tentakill fiasco.
USAgent adds that Pointer spends a lot of time with the shrink, Dr. Benning, and remarks that she isn’t giving anything away either. Walker admits that he may not be one of Iron Man’s big fancy brains that he has all over the place, but something is definitely going on at the CSIS. Iron Man points a finger at USAgent accusingly and shouts ‘I need to know what’s going on with him, what they’re doing to him and what he’s saying to Dr. Benning!’. A defiant Walker snaps back ‘Hey, it ain’t like I’m not trying!’.
Iron Man ignores Walker’s comment and brings up the subject of Pointer’s powers, demanding to see all the data that Agent Brown has been collecting on them. ‘”All the data”?’ Walker asks, quoting his former Force Works teammate. ‘What the *&$% do I look like to you? All I know is that the power’s got that poor chump all screwed up…it’s unstable, he’s unstable…the kid’s a mess!’.
At that moment at CSIS headquarters, home to Omega Flight, Dr. Benning is having another session with Michael Pointer a.k.a. the new Guardian, who sits opposite her, staring at the ground. Dr. Benning explains to Pointer that the drastic highs and lows he has been experiencing are most likely due to chemical imbalances triggered by stress, and remarks that the Guardian suit will help him adjust, but that it is still learning his body’s unique physiology. Benning adds that the stability and structure of Omega Flight should help as well, before asking Pointer how he has been getting on with his teammates. ‘Have you forged any relationships with them? Any friendships?’.
Pointer doesn’t answer, so Benning probes him, revealing that she understands he and Rachel Carpenter’s daughter have made some sort of connection. ‘Rachel? She’s just a kid’ Pointer replies. ‘I don’t know that I’d say we’re “friends”…she…she needed my help. I just -’. Benning interrupts, remarking to Pointer that now it is he who needs help, and tells him that if he is not ready to reach out to others she would certainly hope he feels enough trust in the relationship that that the two of them have built in their sessions.
When she gets no response, Benning asks Pointer if he is all right, pointing out that he seems very distracted today. ‘Um…yes…Dr. Benning…there’s something else…I hear voices!’ Pointer suddenly reveals. ‘”Voices”?’ Benning asks. This causes Agent Brown to lean in closer to his monitor where he is watching the session between Benning and Pointer from an undisclosed location within the CSIS building. ‘Yeah…well…maybe not “voices” exactly…but something. I hear them. Heard them. Or I think them…whatever. Voices’ Pointer mutters, looking at Benning intently.
Benning asks Pointer when exactly he hears these voices. ‘While you were in the suit?’ she asks. ‘What?’ Pointer replies. Benning asks Michael if he is hearing the voices now, but Michael replies that it happened a couple of days ago. Benning asks Michael again if this was while he was wearing the suit or not wearing the suit. ‘Think hard…this could be important’. ‘I was wearing it’ Michael replies. ‘You’re sure?’ Benning asks. ‘Yes’ Pointer declares.
This causes Agent Brown to scowl, and clicks on his voice recording device as he begins recording in to it: ‘subject speaks of “hearing voices” while wearing the Guardian suit…timeline corresponds with the recent recordings of multiple brain waves’. Agent Brown wonders if the two are connected to the Collective power, or perhaps it is just Pointer’s inability to cope. ‘If he is hearing voices, I want to know whose voices they are…and more importantly…’
‘…What are the voices saying to you?’ Benning asks Pointer curiously. Pointer replies that he is not really sure, as there were so many of them, it was hard to separate them, to make sense of it. Benning asks Michael if he has shared this with Agent Brown yet, but Pointer replies that he hasn’t, as he was not sure what to do or to say. Agent Brown frowns as Benning tells Michael that, for now, she thinks they can keep this information to themselves, as there is no need to unnecessarily alarm anyone. She remarks that this could have merely been an isolated incident, but if the condition persists, then they will inform Agent Brown.
Back in the cave behind the Niagara Falls, USAgent asks if the transfer of US criminals back from Canada to the US is going all right. ‘Yes! You’re doing good work up there’ Iron Man replies. USAgent begins to laugh, ‘Some real winners in that last batch, eh? How about that Raptore loser?’ Iron Man remains silent, the only noise the pounding of the water. ‘Dinosaur guy!’ USAgent exclaims, making his hands into a raptor face. Silence again from the armored Avenger. Iron Man replies that he will have to check the manifests and begins to walk back through the water fall, not looking at Walker as he tells him to keep at it and that they will get in touch regarding the next scheduled rendezvous. ‘Yep’ mumbles Johnny.
After a few moments, Johnny looks at his watch, then calls out ‘He’s outta range!’ into his communicator. Turning backwards, he exclaims ‘Arachne! You  get all that?’ as Walker’s long time West Coast Avenger and Force Works teammate Julia Carpenter steps out from the shadows, along with her lover, the enigmatic Shroud. ‘Yeah, he hesitated’ the glamorous Julia tells Johnny, who agrees. The heroine formerly codenamed Spider-Woman points out that Stark has instant access to any manifests, but had no clue who Raptore was. ‘Which means he never got him!’ Walker declares.
Johnny turns to the Shroud and asks him if he now knows why he wanted his help. ‘Something ain’t right!’. The Shroud a.k.a. Maximillian Coleridge replies that he has pretty much no idea what they are talking about, but that it sounds like star is still being a total tool. Julia calls Shroud ‘Baby’ as she thanks him for his help, before they kiss passionately. Julia tells Max to stay safe underground as he approaches the waterfall. Max replies that there is no need to worry, as Stark and his storm troopers haven’t found him yet. ‘And I am the Shroud! Hiding is kind of my speciality!’ he jokes.
Julia watches her lover leave, and Johnny asks his friend if it has been awhile since she has seen him. Julia replies that, in fact, she sees Max quite often, puzzling Johnny. ‘He is the Shroud after all. Hiding is kind of his speciality’ Julia jokes. Johnny grins, pleased for his friend, he then suggests they get out of here, as he is tired of shouting.
Shortly, USAgent straddles his motorcycle and Julia stands nearby, as USAgent remarks that he knows Julia has got no love lost for Stark and how she feels for these types of government programs using people as their guinea pigs, which is why he asked for her help, to show her what is going on, and that he has nothing to hide. Johnny adds that he just wants to find out what is going on with Pointer - and why.
Julia asks Johnny what he needs her to do, to which Walker replies he is not entirely sure yet, but at this stage to keep an eye out on Pointer - and Agent Brown. ‘I trust that guy about as much as you trust our pal Stark’ Johnny remarks. Walker suggests that Julia could check on all the prisoners they have been corralling, to look into that Raptore guy and find out where he might be. ‘And Rachel could -’ begins Johnny, until Julia quickly interrupts, declaring that they will not be involving her daughter in any of this. ‘We. Will. Not!’ she shouts. ‘All right! All right!’ Johnny exclaims, explaining to Julia that Pointer connected with Rachel when Sasquatch was going nuts, that he trusts her and might reach out to her.
Later - the plucky Rachel Carpenter walks down the residential wing corridor, singing the theme song to the television show “Spongebob Squarepants”: ‘Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants! Absorbent and yellow and porous is he…’ Rachel then knocks on Michael’s door, where inside, Michael lays curled up on his bed in the foetal position, a golden glow being emitted from his hands.
‘Mr. Pointer?’ Rachel cries out, continuing to knock, while Pointer groans. ‘No!’ he shouts. ‘Are you okay?’ Rachel replies through the door. ‘Shut up please!’ Pointer shouts. ‘Mr. Pointer, it’s me…Rac -’ Rachel begins, until Pointer shouts ‘Shut up!’ once more. Somewhat dejected, Rachel steps back from Pointer’s door and makes her way along the corridor, while Pointer curls up even tighter, his costume sprawled on the floor, ‘…please! Just leave me alone!’ he mumbles….

Weapon Omega, part 7 (Fourth Story)
Fourth Story:
‘When are we gonna train this kid, Agent Brown? I ain’t seen him in weeks! I’m supposed to go to war with Pointer, I need to know he’s got my back!’ shouts an angry John Walker a.k.a. USAgent as he waves a fist in the face of Omega Flight’s administrator, Agent Brown. Agent Brown frowns at the powerful hero who leads the new Omega Flight. Calmly though, Agent Brown cleans the lenses of his glasses and simply replies that Michael Pointer, the new Guardian, is feeling ill today, and resting.
Listening in to the conversation via USAgent’s communicator is Julia “Arachne” Carpenter, Walker’s long-time friend and teammate, who slinks around inside the venting system, peering into Pointer’s quarters, she smirks when she hears Brown’s comment and sees that Pointer is not in his quarters.
Johnny frowns and crosses his arms in front of his chest. ‘Resting, huh? Been doing a lot of that lately…there ain’t anything you wanna tell me now is there, Agent Brown?’ he asks. Annoyed, Brown replies that Pointer will be fine in due time, and adds that he will set up a training session with the two of them tomorrow. Taking his leave and walking away from USAgent, Agent Brown calls back that he’s sure Pointer will be feeling much better by then. ‘Uh-huh. I’m sure’ Johnny replies. ‘Jerk’ he mutters when Brown is out of earshot, before holding his communicator up and asking Julia what she has.
Julia replies that Pointer is not resting in his quarters, and that when he is in his quarters, he is being watched. ‘No surprises on either front’ Walker replies, before asking the former Spider-Woman if she is scrambled. Julia replies that she has her scrambler on, so no one will know she was here. ‘Good’ Johnny replies, before asking Julia to keep on snooping to see what she can find, while he goes and talks to “the ape”. ‘Sasquatch?’ Julia asks.
USAgent replies that Sasquatch is the one that got Pointer involved in this mess, sort of, and hopes that he can answer some of his questions, when suddenly, Walker sees Julia’s daughter, Rachel up ahead of him in the corridor, and asks her how she is doing, but gets no response, Rachel just keeps walking past him. With concern in her voice, Julia asks John what is going on, to which Walker replies that Rachel just walked past him and completely blew him off.
‘She’s a teenager, Agent…it’s part of their M.O.’ Julia replies, smiling. Johnny replies that he doesn’t like it, and declares that when he was a kid he was taught to respect his elders. ‘What’s happened since?’ Julia asks. ‘What’s happened since…?’ Johnny snarls. ‘…’Guys like Agent Brown happened since!’.
Elsewhere in the CSIS complex, Agent Brown enters an observation booth, ‘How’s he doing?’ he asks one of the many scientists present as they look out the glass at Michael Pointer, who is currently tearing up some large robot in the training room. ‘Surprisingly well, considering’ a scientist replies. ‘Considering what?’ Brown asks. ‘Considering that three hours ago he had his head in a toilet, puking his guts out!’ a scientist reveals. ‘Does he know we know?’ Agent Brown asks. The scientist replies that they are clear, that Pointer told them about it when he came in for his session.
Watching the new Guardian dart about and fire electromagnetic blasts at the robots, Agent Brown asks how long he has been down there. The scientist replies that it is going on two and a half hours now, non-stop and with no signs of letting up. ‘And the suit?’ Brown asks. The scientist replies that it is functioning at optimum efficiency, with no power deviations at all, no anomalous readings of any kind and all systems are running as expected.
‘Let me talk to him’ Brown demands, so one of the scientists quickly replies ‘Linking to audio!’. Brown then asks Michael how he is feeling. ‘Agent Brown!’ exclaims Michael, replying that he is actually feeling great as he rips the head from one of the robots. ‘Heard you had a rough morning?’ Brown remarks, to which Pointer, puzzled at first, replies that he is feeling much better now though. ‘Good to hear’ retorts Agent Brown, before telling Pointer that is the suit helping him adjust to his powers. ‘Yeah…okay…about that. You guys any closer on figuring out a way to get me on an even keel?’ Pointer asks, to which Agent Brown assures him they are working around the clock.
Elsewhere, in a corridor lined with several doors that all have QUARANTINE written on them, several armored soldiers march the hall, ‘What the heck is going on up there?’ one of them asks, referring to the commotion coming from the training facility. ‘These poor suckers are getting drained faster than we can keep up!’ another soldier remarks, glancing at one of the doors, he adds that they are down to their last one now.
He peers into the glass panel on the door, claw marks line the wall, a pillow has been torn apart, but the soldier cannot see the inmate, until, suddenly, the criminal - Raptore - lunges at the window, growling, he cracks the window panel with his head. The soldiers move backwards, and one of them says into his communicator ‘Setting up prisoner 0-0-5-8 for transfer!’ as Raptore shoves his hand through the panel. ‘Saved the best for last though’ another soldier remarks.
Back upstairs, Brown asks Pointer if he wants to take a break, but as he dodges a missile, the new Guardian replies that he is fine, and adds that if it is all right with them, he would rather work out a while longer. ‘Sure, Michael…show us what you got, then’ Brown replies, giving one of the scientists the “thumbs up” signal, while downstairs, one of the soldiers remarks that they have been pumping Raptore full of juice all week. ‘Lord knows what so much mutant growth hormone will do to this guy!’. ‘Or to Pointer for that matter. Wait’ll he gets a taste of this!’ the other soldier adds as he presses some buttons a computer, which has Raptore’s headshot on the screen.
Back upstairs, Pointer glows in a brilliant light which radiates around him - and only grows brighter. ‘Here we go…’ Pointer whispers, while Agent Brown is forced to shield his eyes, turning away from the tremendous light. Downstairs, Raptore lies on his floor, motionless, some energy residual rising from his body. ‘This guy’s pretty much had it’ one of the soldiers reports. ‘Ready any available cells…more inventory has just arrived’ someone radios back to him.
Indeed, another container load of American costumed criminals has arrived at CSIS headquarters, unknown to the soldiers monitoring them, Arachne clings to a nearby post, and radios to USAgent that she thinks she has just found something….

Cyclops & Wolverine “The Rabbit Hunt” (Third Story)<br> Weapon Omega, part 8 (Fourth Story)
Third Story:
Scott Summers sits in his office at the Xavier Institute. He reviews a message sent from his brother Alex who left the X-Men to pursue the youngest Summers brother Gabriel AKA Vulcan. Havok tells Cyclops that they fought with Vulcan but it wasn’t enough and during the battle, their father Corsair was killed. Scott leaves his office only to find Logan in the corridor outside. Logan comments that Cyclops is working late and Scott merely replies that there’s a lot to do. Wolverine asks if he needs help and Cyclops politely declines.
The next day, Logan is running through the woods behind the school. Running alongside him is a young buck. Suddenly, Logan stops running and sniffs at the air. He pops his claws as Cyclops emerges from the trees with a jagged knife. Wolverine asks what he was thinking and points out that he could have killed him! Cyclops coolly replies “I knew you wouldn’t” and Logan says that he’s either “…braver than I thought or dumber.”
 He asks what Scott is doing there and he makes some excuse about fresh tactics and brushing up on his survival skills. Logan points out that the combination of Scott’s cologne, tight and noisy boots and the way he’s leaving tracks and scaring the wildlife are less than stealthy. Not to mention the glowing visor. Scott clearly gets an idea from this.
A few minutes later, Logan has helped Scott to cover his scent and take a more stealthy approach to being in the wild. Logan asks if anyone else knows he’s out there. Scott replies “I don’t want to be found.” He goes on to explain that he wants a little solitude and a break from being the leader, teacher and politician and to just be for a while. Wolverine points out that Prof. Xavier was all those things. Scott says that that was before he lied to them. He lied to Scott about his long-lost brother. Scott describes Charles as “just one more disappointment in a line of crap fathers”. Logan tells him to cut it out and that Xavier’s dream is real and is what unites them.
 Scott spies the buck and bolts out from cover, his knife drawn. He tells Logan “We’re just heartbeats away from extinction… the dream is over!” as he plunges his knife into the deer.
The deer is startled but then bolts away. Scott is bewildered and wonders how it survived his assault. He looks at his blade and sees that it has been cut in half. He looks accusingly at Logan who tells him that he doesn’t come out here to kill. He explains to Cyclops that this is how he calms himself and the longer he’s out there, the more human he feels. He asks “You didn’t come out here for tactics, did you?”
Scott replies that he did and then reluctantly admits that he also came there to let loose a bit. Logan asks bluntly if he was letting loose on Xavier or maybe his dad. Scott grabs Logan by the shirt and shoves him against a tree. “What do you know about it!?!” he barks and Wolverine replies that he knows plenty about both loss and betrayal. He tells Scott that this is about the two of them: his “failed fathers”.
Scott says that his father, Corsair never came back to them…even after he learned that he and Alex were still alive on Earth. He asks Logan how he could just leave them. Logan suggests that Corsair may have had his reasons and reminds Scott that by the time he learned that his sons were alive, Corsair had a new life. Scott replies coldly “Life is responsibility”. Logan looks him dead in the eye and tells him that the deer he tried to knife isn’t the only wounded animal in these woods and that it’s not Xavier who is his problem. Scott can’t take any more and unleashes his optic blast, demolishing a nearby tree as he screams “ENOUGH!” He turns and walks away.
Late that night, he returns to his office and sits down to record a message to send to his brother Alex who is in space with the Starjammers. He begins the message, “Hi Alex. I’d like to talk about dad.”
Fourth Story:
CSIS Headquarters, the home of Canada’s newest super team, Omega Flight, where, suddenly, Johnny Walker a.k.a. the team’s leader, the handsome USAgent smashes the unstable Michael Pointer a.k.a. the new Guardian, right in the face. ‘Come on, Guardian! This all ya got?’ Johnny asks as he climbs up the wall, then swings onto an overhanging bar to kick Pointer in the face, exclaiming ‘Hawkeye could kick yer butt fer cripes sake!’.
The battle is being monitored by Agent Brown and various CSIS scientists as Johnny smashes Pointer with his trusty shield. Agent Brown watches intently and asks the scientists to give him a reading on the suit. One of the scientists replies that the suit is functioning at optimal efficiency and that they show no signs of anomalous readings of any kind. ‘Hell, I bet Jarvis’d gimme a better fight!’ Walker taunts Pointer.
Agent Brown remarks that Pointer is holding back, and as Pointer unleashes a blast of electro-magnetic energy, Walker dodges it easily, ‘Yer a complete joke!’ Johnny then tosses his shield at Pointer which shoves him into the wall as Johnny exclaims that even Jarvis’ mother could take Pointer on. ‘She’s probably a tough old bird, actually’ Walker mumbles. Walker stands over Pointer’s weary body as Michael asks ‘Who’s Jarvis?’ while blood drips out of various points on his face.
‘Someone who’s made outta a lot sterner stuff than you!’ Walker replies before slamming his shield into Pointer’s face. ‘Course, that ain’t saying much, is it?’ Johnny adds as he walks away from Pointer’s fallen body. Agent Brown frowns and tells one of the scientists to increase Pointer’s power, remarking that he needs a boost in confidence. Indeed, Pointer is able to stand up, and electromagnetic energy ebbs and flows around him as he wearily tells Walker that he isn’t done yet.
‘Yer done, kid’ Walker replies, not even looking at Pointer, who is now smirking, ‘I said, I’m not done yet, USAgent’ Pointer exclaims. Johnny turns around, just in time to raise his shield as the energies slam into him. Agent Brown demands a reading, to which one of the scientists replies that power levels are up by 27% and rising. Brown smirks, ‘Excellent…now, lets show that loud-mouthed @!#$ what we’ve got’ he remarks, referring of course to USAgent.
‘Is this stern enough for you, Agent?’ Pointer asks. Walker just grits his teeth as he continues to hold his shield up, blocking Pointer’s attack, before he tosses his shield at Pointer, ‘Yeah…not bad, kid’ Walker replies as his shield smacks into Pointer’s side, causing Pointer to fall to the ground. ‘Yer finally showing some intestinal fortitude!’ Walker remarks before he elbows Pointer in the face adding that it is too bad Pointer wasn’t showing more of that when Xorn possessed him. ‘Maybe then ya could have stopped him from killing Alpha Flight…and destroying yer own…’ Johnny’s voice trails off as he notices something strange begin to happen.
One of the scientists asks what Walker is doing. ‘Is he out of his mind?’. Agent Brown replies that Walker is testing Pointer. ‘And, yes, he’s out of his mind’. Another scientist reports that Pointer’s power is still increasing, nearing the 40% mark. ‘Maybe then you could have been something!’ USAgent tells Pointer, bringing his foot down towards Pointer’s face, but Pointer grabs Walker’s boot, ‘Wrong thing to say!’ he snaps back. ‘But I think you knew that!’ he grins, power flowing from his eyes as he holds Walker above him.
A figure standing in the shadows of another laboratory orders the scientists in that lab to stand down on the donor transfer, as Pointer shoves Walker back across the training room. ‘You’re testing me? Pushing me, USAgent? Is that what you’re doing? Is that what you want?’ Pointer asks. The mysterious figure then orders the power transfer to continue, Pointer exclaims to Walker ‘Well, all right then…if that’s what you want…then that’s what you’ll get!’ With that, several super powered beings suddenly emerge alongside a glowing Pointer. ‘Holy!’ gasps Walker as he is knocked to the ground and a hideous creature grabs his leg with one of its tentacles.
Agent Brown demands to know what is going on down in the combat training area, while another scientists announces that Pointer’s power levels are spiking 80%. Agent Brown is confused, exclaiming that he didn’t authorize any additional power increases. ‘Where’s he drawing that power from?’ he asks, to which another scientist replies that the increased power is not coming from within the Collective. ‘What the Hell are you talking about?’ Agent Brown asks. The scientist explains that the power is not coming from Pointer, but being drawn from somewhere else.
‘Shut him down! Shut him down right now!’ demands Agent Brown furiously, but one of the scientists replies that they cant as their access to the Guardian suit has been locked out. ‘That’s impossible! By who?’ Agent Brown replies. ‘Unknown, Sir’ the scientist replies. Brown exclaims that they have to get Walker out of there and asks to be linked to USAgent’s communicator. Brown’s request is actioned, and almost instantly, Brown’s voice can be heard by Walker, shouting ‘Get the Hell out of there! Now!’ But with Pointer’s hand firmly around his throat, Walker replies ‘Gee - why didn’t I think of that? Must be why they pay you the big bucks, Brown’.
One of the scientists suddenly tells Brown that they are registering at least seven new and unknown power signatures, to which Walker exclaims ‘What did you say?’ as Pointer tosses him in the air while remembering something his friend and teammate, Julia “Arachne” Carpenter recently informed him, getting Johnny down to a safe location one night not long ago, Julia informed him that she saw six or seven new prisoners being transferred to the CSIS facility, except when she checked the manifests, there was nothing about the prisoners on them.
Suddenly, with increased strength, Pointer tosses Walker into a wall, causing it to crack. ‘How’s this for “intestinal fortitude”?’ Pointer mocks. Walker recalls another meeting, this time with his other teammate, Walter “Sasquatch” Langkowski, who informed Johnny that, honestly, he doesn’t know how the new Guardian’s battle suit works, as Reed Richards designed it, so it’s a bit out of his league, but what he does know is that it is basically a modulator, a regulator to be more specific, and that it controls the amount of energy Pointer can release. ‘Or absorbs. That right?’ Walker asked. Sasquatch replied that he supposes so.
The image of the criminal Raptore can be seen behind Pointer as he races towards the fallen USAgent, ‘My God…’ a wide-eyed and disturbed Johnny whispers as he sees this, and more recent events flash through his mind, to when he met with Iron Man and asked ‘How about that Raptore loser? Dinosaur guy?’ A blank Iron Man replied that he would have to check the manifests of criminals returned to the States from Canada. When Iron Man left, Arachne and her lover the Shroud, who had been listening in, joined up with USAgent, and reminded him that Iron Man has instant access to any manifests, but has no clue as to who Raptore was.
Later, USAgent asked Julia to check on all the prisoners that Omega Flight had been corralling and to look into Raptore and see where he might be. Now though, Johnny knows, as a deranged Pointer, teeth suddenly bared sharp and his hands like claws begin tearing into him like a savage beast. Blood splashes into the air from USAgent, who begins trying to tell Pointer that he is being fed these energies, that he is being used - then Walker screams….

Weapon Omega, part 9 (Fourth Story)
Fourth Story:
‘Get USAgent out of there before Pointer kills him!’ shouts Agent Brown from the observation booth of the training room at CSIS headquarters, home and operations base for Canada’s premiere super heroes, Omega Flight. ‘We’re trying, Sir’ one of the scientists replies, explaining that somehow, Michael Pointer a.k.a. the new Guardian has jammed the entry. While down in the training room, Pointer, his body distorted into resembling that of the criminal Raptore is ripping apart Johnny Walker a.k.a. the handsome USAgent. Agent Brown points at one of the scientists and tells him to go and get the Doctor. ‘Dr. Benning? The psychiatrist?’ he asks. ‘What? No! She’d be killed in there, you idiot! I mean Dr. Langkowski…Sasquatch!’ Brown shouts.
Within moments, the founding member of Canada’s first super team, Alpha Flight, Sasquatch rips through the walls of the training room, ‘That’s enough!’ he shouts, making his way over to Pointer, he warns him to let USAgent go. Pointer, his form returning to normal, just stares at Sasquatch. ‘This isn’t like you. This isn’t who you are!’ Sasquatch tells him. ‘You’ve got to -’ Walter begins to say, until Pointer blasts him with his powers, right in the eye, disorientating Sasquatch, who suddenly has the images of Pointer murdering his teammates flash through his mind - Mac, Heather, Judd… - ‘Uhhhh…no…you killed my teammates….NOOOO!’ growls Sasquatch.
Pointer returns to normal now, apologizing as he exclaims ‘It wasn’t me!’. Sasquatch slumps to the ground, rubbing his eyes. Agent Brown enters the training room followed by soldiers, one of whom exclaims that they need medics. ‘Prep the infirmary!’ another shouts. ‘Tell them we’re coming in hot!’. ‘It wasn’t me…’ Pointer exclaims, before turning to Agent Brown and telling him that he doesn’t know what happened. While medics tend to USAgent, who is lying in a pool of his own blood, Brown tells Pointer to calm down, before turning to a medic and ordering him to sedate USAgent and get him to the infirmary.
Walker is placed on a gurney and Pointer tells him that he is sorry. Exhausted and badly wounded, John tells Pointer that it’s not his fault. ‘It’s the suit’ he exclaims. ‘They’re feeding ya like a…like a…’ Johnny passes out as the medic injects him with something, unable to finish his sentence. Agent Brown turns to Pointer and tells him that USAgent will be all right. ‘He’s even tougher than he is annoying’.
‘I don’t know what happened…’ Pointer exclaims, before asking Brown how this could have happened. ‘You told me that this suit is supposed to be regulating my powers!’ he reminds him. Agent Brown replies that they are not entirely sure, and reveals that they are hypothesizing that the Collective still somehow fights for control over him. ‘What? Are You saying that the I - that it’s somehow aware?!’. Pointer exclaims. But Brown replies that he isn’t say that at all, and remarks that everything is speculative at best. ‘We’re still analyzing and collecting data’.
‘”Useful”?’ Pointer asks ‘Are you kidding? I might have just killed a man!’. At that moment, Dr. Benning enters and asks Pointer to come with her, telling him that they need to sit down and talk somewhere quietly. ‘Sure, Dr. Benning’ Pointer replies quietly as he walks alongside her. ‘I didn’t mean it that way…’ Agent Brown mumbles. ‘We’ll go somewhere…away from this mess’. Dr. Benning declares.
A scientist asks Brown why he didn’t tell Pointer about the outside power source they detected, to which Brown replies that until they can figure out exactly what it is they don’t need to confuse Pointer anymore than he already is. ‘Agreed?’ Brown asks the scientists, who look at each other a bit puzzled. ‘Well…go and figure it out!’ Agent Brown orders the scientists.
As Pointer makes his way down a corridor with Dr. Benning, he is suddenly confronted by an angry Julia Carpenter a.k.a. Arachne. ‘Pointer!’ she shouts. ‘What the Hell’s going on?’ she demands to know as she walks up to him, followed by her daughter, Rachel. ‘I’m…I…’ begins Pointer, unable to look at Julia, so Dr. Benning steps in for him, explaining that there was an accident while Pointer and USAgent were training. ‘Accident?! What happened? Is USAgent okay?’ Julia asks, concerned for her friend and long-time Avengers West Coast / Force Works teammate.
Benning explains that USAgent has been taken to the infirmary and is being tended to. She adds that the it is her understanding that the wounds Sasquatch sustained are of a superficial nature. Pointer looks at Rachel who is staring at him and asks her if she is okay, while Julia asks ‘Walter was injured as well? What’s going on here, Doctor?’. Pointer looks at Rachel, who is staring blankly at him and asks her to say something as he takes her hand. ‘I hear you…I see you…so many…!’ Rachel exclaims.
(Flashbacks, over the course of recent issues)
‘They’re bringing in more prisoners - ones that aren’t showing up on any manifests. And they’re not sending the prisoners stateside’ Julia told Walker, who remarked that that the $64,000 question is “what are they doing with them”, both unaware that Rachel was hiding in the bushes nearby watching them.
Another time, Rachel listened to a couple of soldiers, one of whom remarked ‘That dude is messed up, man. This morning we practically had to scrape Pointer off the floor. I’ve seen some bad hangovers before - but, man!’. The other soldier replied ‘Should’ve seen him yesterday. If I’d known I’d be cleaning up puke all day, I’d have been a stay-at-home dad!’.
Later, Rachel eavesdropped on Brown and Benning who were arguing over Pointer, with Brown telling Benning that she has to encourage Pointer to stay in the suit as much as possible, as the suit is the only way to control his unstable powers. “Control”? Benning asked. ‘Control. Regulate. Semantics, Doctor. I’m not one of your5 patients. Don’t try reading into any Freudian slips with me’ Brown replied. ‘Yes, but who controls the suit, Agent Brown?’ Benning asked, to which she got no answer, Brown just walked away from her.
(Present)
‘Oh! Hey, Michael!’ Rachel suddenly exclaims. ‘What’s up?’ she asks. Julia pulls her daughter away from Pointer and remarks ‘You’re talking again? Good, at least someone around here is!’ to her daughter, before telling her that they are going to see how Walker is doing, ‘And then I think it’s time for a little visit with Agent Brown!’ she announces angrily. Rachel follows her mother, ‘Okay Mom…um, what’s going on, by the way?’ she asks. Pointer watches them leave, while Benning tells him to come into his office so they can talk. ‘Yes…it’s time to go inside now…’ Pointer replies.

Deadpool in “Fun with Ninjas” (Third Story) <br>Weapon Omega, part 10 (Fourth Story)
Third Story:
A grappling hook flies across the night sky and catches hold on the rooftop of a posh penthouse. The mercenary called Deadpool uses the line to gain access to the roof. He uses a glass-cutting device to cut a hole in the skylight and silently descend into the apartment below. As he unsheathes his sword, he places a finger to his masked lips and says “Shhhh…” He moves to the bedroom where his elderly target is asleep next to a gorgeous young blonde. Just as Deadpool draws back his sword to dispatch his target, his cell phone rings. The ringtone sings out loudly “It’s fun to stay at the Y…M.C.A.! It’s fun to stay at the Y…M.C.A.-A!!!” Deadpool mutters to himself “Aw, hell.” as his target wakes up.
Deadpool answers his cell phone with a casual “Hello?” as his target screams out “Assassin!!” and the man’s female companion screams. The caller on the other line is Deadpool’s friend and partner Weasel. Deadpool reprimands Weasel for calling in the middle of an assassination. Behind him, his intended target screams for the guards. Weasel apologizes for interrupting and Deadpool sarcastically informs him that he woke up the mark. Weasel asks “How do you know?” and Deadpool dryly replies that that’s him screaming in the background. Deadpool starts to really lay into Weasel when he hears several subtle “thwip” sounds. He turns to see that his back is filled with throwing stars! He screams at Weasel and announces that the mark has ninja bodyguards! He yells into the phone “You never said anything about ninjas!!!” He threatens to kill Weasel if they’re mutant turtles again.
Weasel tries to say that this isn’t his fault but Wade insists that it is. He then tells Weasel to shut up because he now has to kill some ninjas “…for FREE… because of YOU!” Wade taunts the ninja calling out “Come out, come out, wherever you are!” and calling him “Little red ninja”. He is still on the phone with Weasel as he pulls out an uzi. It is marked with the words “Super Blood Soaker… Keep out of reach of Deadpool”. He tells Weasel to shut up and that he isn’t listening as a ninja streaks past the doorway. He says “I think I see him” and Weasel asks who. ‘Pool replies “The little red ninja… the one I’m about to kill.”
 But before he can open fire, the ninja hurls a throwing star with the characteristic “thwip” sound. Deadpool asks “Why do I think I’ve heard that before?” The star lands in his left eye and he cries out “Oooouch!”  He declares to the ninja “Oh, it’s on!!!” as he opens fire with the Super Blood Soaker. He fires his uzi until it’s empty, never pausing in his banter with Weasel. He asks “So, why are you calling me again?”
He doesn’t hear the answer as dozens more ninjas descend from the skylight above. He asks Weasel to repeat that and Weasel tells him to pay attention. Deadpool reminds him that he’s fighting ninjas. Weasel asks why he doesn’t just shoot them and ‘Pool replies that he ran out of bullets in the Super Blood-Soaker and doesn’t like what he wrote on the other one. Weasel says that he thought it was funny and this convinces Deadpool to use it. This uzi reads “This space for rent!” and the clip says “Smarty pills”.  He unloads the gun in the face of one ninja and mows down the rest in a rain of bullets.
The “little red ninja” who first attacked Deadpool has reappeared and refuses to be mowed down. Weasel suggests that Deadpool run. The ninja wraps a garotte around ‘Pool’s neck as Deadpool compliments him. He tells the ninja “You’re good… but I’m bad… and sometimes bad is better!!” He then head butts the ninja, driving the throwing star that is still lodged in his eye socket into the ninja’s forehead. Deadpool picks the diminutive ninja up and taunts him some more about how hard it must have been to learn ninjitsu in the peewee class.
The mark starts to run and Deadpool draws out his sword and decapitates him. He then returns to his phone call and tells Weasle that he now has his undivided attention. He asks what it was he wanted anyway. Deadpool listens to Weasel as he cleans his sword. He doesn’t like what he hears and screams “What?” and drops the phone. Weasel repeats what he just said “They’ll quadruple your money if you bring him back alive!” Deadpool sinks down onto the bed next to his mark’s terrified girl. He sits there for a moment, pondering his dilemma then turns to the woman and asks “You got any duct tape?”
Fourth Story:
CSIS headquarters, the home to Canada’s newest super team, Omega Flight. One such member of that team, the rookie new Guardian, Michael Pointer, looks at his costume - a modified version of the original Guardian’s costume, the legendary James MacDonald Hudson - whom Pointer murdered. He clenches his fist, before putting the costume on, not knowing he is being watched by several scientists who have been monitoring him for some time. With his uniform on, he sits down in a chair, motionless, just sitting and staring blankly ahead. ‘Well…this is some exciting stuff, eh?’ one of the scientists mumbles. ‘What’s he doing?’ another asks. ‘Well, speaking in strictly scientific terms…I’d have to say ‘nothing’!” one of them exclaims.
However, inside Pointer’s mind, countless super powered beings, criminals, are milling about. ‘I see you…I hear you…so many!’ Pointer exclaims. Suddenly, he finds himself standing in the middle of them all, and confronted by himself - as the Collective. ‘My God!’ he exclaims, before being consumed by the fires of the Collective.  ‘All right then…is that how this works?’ he exclaims as he makes his way through the crowds of villains, until, he comes across someone he has been looking for. ‘There you are!’ he exclaims to a red-headed woman, grabbing her by the shoulder. ‘Okay, then…let’s do this!’ he declares.
Meanwhile, in her office, Dr. Benning is working, when, suddenly, a voice in her head exclaims ‘I need your help! You’re the only one I can trust!’ Startled, Benning looks around her office, before realizing that it is Pointer. She presses an intercom button, ‘What’s going on down there?’ she shouts, to which a group of scientists dressed in strange full-cover suits reply ‘What? There’s nothing to report, Pointer’s just…sitting there’. Another reports that his heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory, all vitals, are normal. Another announces that the suit is maintaining a 15% output.
One of the scientists remarks that neither Pointer nor the Guardian suit are indicating any activities or irregularities of any - suddenly, one of the others interrupts, and announces that he has readings on the electro-encephalogram. ‘He’s doing something!’. The scientists call out to Benning, and tell her that she had better get down here, as Pointer is doing something.
Elsewhere in the facility, Agent Brown is speaking with Tony “Iron Man” Stark over video-com, and Tony asks what exactly is going on. ‘I’m not exactly certain what you’re referring to, Mr. Stark’. Agent Brown replies. Stark informs Brown that he just received an urgent telepathic message from a SHIELD telepath who is suffering from one hell of a splitting headache. ‘Says it’s psychic backlash from Michael Pointer - some sort of “massive cerebral event” occurred’ Stark explains, before snapping that he now has one hell of a splitting headache.
Stark tells Brown that the Guardian suit designed for Pointer has stopped transmitting data, ‘I can only surmise that the transmissions are being intentionally blocked somehow!’ Stark declares, before asking Brown again ‘What exactly is going on?’. Brown calmly replies that he is not aware of any intentional withholding of data. ‘You’re not making a smart move, Agent Brown!’ Stark warns him. But Brown assures Star that everything is under control, and that if any improprieties were to come to his attention, they will be taken care of immediately.
Meanwhile, in the infirmary, Johnny Walker a.k.a. the USAgent lies in a bed, hooked up to various machines. ‘I need your help! You’re the only one I can trust!’ cries a voice. Suddenly though, an unidentified figure lurks in the shadows of the room, and reaches for one of the cords, hooked to Walker’s arm - and pull’s it out! Blood begins to drip from the opening - and Johnny flatlines….

Fourth Story: Weapon Omega, part 11
Fourth Story:
Inside his own deeply troubled mind, Michael Pointer a.k.a. the new Guardian looks into the eyes of a red-haired woman, while numerous others surround them. ’They’ll be coming now…but don’t worry…I’ll be back…’ Pointer exclaims as he begins to fade away, and everyone reaches out to him.
‘Power him down! Now! Reduce levels by 80%!’ a female voice calls out. It’s Dr. Benning, who enters Michael Pointer’s quarters, flanked by well-armored CSIS soldiers and scientists. ’…I know where to find you now…’ Michael mumbles, talking to those inside his mind as he returns to reality. Dr Benning puts a hand on Pointer’s shoulder and asks him if he is all right. Pointer looks at Benning sideways and tells her that he trusted her. ’You can still tru -’ Benning begins to reply, only for Pointer to interrupt her, exclaiming ’Susan Catrini!’.
Pointer exclaims that Susan Catrini is in there now - with them - inside the Collective. ‘I understand that’s what happens to them if they die during transfer’ Pointer remarks. He tells Benning that Susan is - was - a telepath, and that it was through her that he contacted Benning. ‘And I met others…they’re all inside me!’ he exclaims, asking Benning how she could do this to him. ‘Yes, well, it was essential to the success of the Weapon Omega Program’ Benning replies coldly.
‘That’s what I am then…a weapon?’ Pointer asks. ‘”Weapon Omega” is just a codename designated for an objective, Michael…you’re the Guardian!’ Benning replies assuredly. Pointer asks if Benning has been using these people to feed him, to which the Doctor replies that they are criminals. ‘Don’t pity them. Many are murderers…or worse!’ Benning explains. Benning tells Pointer that if it provides him any comfort, they are continuing to make progress refining the process. ‘The mortality rate has drastically declined’ she adds, revealing that many of the donors have in fact volunteered to remain. ‘Most of those apprehended by Omega Flight - given the choice of extradition into Stark’s hands or participation in the CSIS chose to stay.
‘WHAT?’ Pointer exclaims, shocked. Referring to the large recreational facility within CSIS headquarters designated to the “donors”, Benning assures Pointer that they are treated quote well, and compensated quite well. ‘My God! You - you’re paying them to be…to be food for me!’ Pointer gasps. ‘Well, we certainly don’t phrase it so crudely’ Benning replies. Benning tells Pointer that it is explained to the donors that their energies are partially siphoned to provide energy for the Guardian suit. ‘And they accept this? What about those who don’t?’ Pointer asks, referring to Raptor and Susan Catrini. ‘Yes…well…in some cases difficult choices had to be made. Maintaining sufficient power levels requires a significant number of donors’ Benning replies.
With the CSIS agents now aiming their weapons at Pointer, Michael asks ‘But why? I have the power of the Collective inside of me! I - I don’t need these others!’ he exclaims. But Benning tells him that he does, as it was discovered early on that the powers of the Collective were fading - therefore it needed to be fed just like any other living organism. Benning tells Pointer that the tricky part was “processing the food”, as apparently Pointer can only absorb energy from other mutants. ‘And there just aren’t as many running around these days as in days past’ Benning adds.
Benning explains that they had to be creative, and that mixing Mutant Growth Hormone with some of the donors already altered cell structures produced some rather fantastic results. Benning leans in towards Pointer as she tells him that the energies he was able to assimilate proved quite powerful, but very erratic. ‘We needed you in that suit, Michael. We needed you to need it. The Guardian suit was designed to help you control those powers. To help us control you’ Benning reveals, before explaining that they began manipulating the amounts of power in Pointer’s system. ‘It became evident early on that elevating the levels had an intoxicating effect on you’ Benning adds, revealing that reducing the levels, well, she suspects that Pointer is experiencing some rather unpleasant withdrawal symptoms right now.
Pointer begins to sweat, it pours down his face, ‘Ugh…my God! And so, what? You - you turn me into some sort of…of energy addict?’ Pointer asks. Benning tells Pointer that he left them with little choice, and remarks that he was a very reluctant subject. Referring to the deaths of four of Canada’s premier super heroes - Heather McNeil Hudson…James Hudson…Michael Twoyoungmen…Eugene Milton Judd… - at the hands of Pointer, Benning remarks that the trauma of his origin left him shattered mentally. ‘You certainly weren’t ready to accept the mantle of Canada’s new Guardian’ Benning adds.
‘Wait a minute! You said the powers were fading? We could have just let them fade away?’ Pointer exclaims. Benning corrects herself, explaining that the power was decreasing - ‘levelling off would be the most accurate description’, she adds. ‘But that’s even better! I could have controlled it then!’ Michael exclaims, confused. ‘You destroyed Alpha Flight, Michael. Becoming Guardian was your penance…Guardian is not only Canada’s premier super hero, but also a symbol!’ Benning exclaims, adding that she was not about to tell the people signing her checks that they were spending billions of dollars to fund a b-level symbol.
‘What? That’s - you’re insane! I’ll do it now. Just stop wearing the suit and let the powers level off!’ Pointer shouts. But Benning frowns as she tells Pointer that is no longer a possibility. ‘The shock of complete withdrawal will kill you now’ she states. ‘I don’t care!’ Pointer shouts. Benning extends a hand to him, ‘Don’t you?’ She asks. ‘Well then, do it - you’re already halfway there. Hand me the suit and we’ll walk out of here. We’ll honor your noble sacrifice’ she tells him. Pointer begins clutching at the top of his costume, sweat continues to pour down his face, and he gives up.
‘I didn’t think so’ Benning remarks, standing with her hands on her hips. ‘You’re a doctor…how can you do this?’ Pointer asks. Waving her hands around, Benning replies that the popular answer would probably be “for the greater food of God and country”, but she suspects he would like a more precise answer. Benning smiles as she tells Pointer that his condition presented an opportunity that most doctors can only dream of. ‘I don’t think Stark even realized what exactly you were capable of. ‘If he had, he surely would not have release you to us’ Benning remarks.
‘So that’s what I was to you? A weapon and an opportunity…something to further your career?’ Pointer asks, declaring that he is no doctor, but that he thinks he would have to diagnose Benning’s behavior as sociopathic. ‘Call me what you will, Michael. Sadly, sometimes compassion only serves to cloud the scientific process’ Benning replies. ‘The - the others will help me! When they find out what you’ve been doing, they’ll -’ Pointer rambles, but Benning interrupts, declaring that they will do nothing. ‘They can’t help you now!’ she snaps, informing Pointer that Sasquatch and Arachne are currently our on assignment, rounding up more potential donors. ‘God bless the Americans and their Registration Act’.
Benning informs Pointer that he lacks the ability to contact his teammates now, ‘You have been completely shut off from utilizing your powers’ she tells him, adding that USAgent can no longer help anyone thanks to Pointer’s attack on him. ‘That man was simply too stupid for his own good’ Benning remarks harshly. Pointer begins to lose it, I’m…I’ll…’ he shouts, sweating harder than before. ‘You’ll do nothing but cooperate now, Michael’ Benning declares, reminding him that they have already determined the alternative. ‘And dying isn’t an option for you anymore, is it? No, you’re only thinking about how much you want that feeling back right now…the power. To feel them alive inside of you again!’
‘Yes, “inside of you”. The last time I saw you, you said “It’s time to go inside now”. You didn’t mean into my office, did you?’ Benning remarks. ‘You know the answer, Benning. They’re in me. I’ve been hearing them for…for months!’ Pointer exclaims, suggesting that Benning’s messing with the power shook a few things loose. Benning asks Pointer, whose skin seems to be shucking inwards, if he did get inside the Collective. ‘Is that how you isolated specific traits from the, ah…’ her voice trails off, and Pointer finishes her sentence: ‘Victims?’ he asks. ‘Subjects’ Benning corrects Pointer. Pointer declares that all he needed was a moment to concentrate - to go deep inside and find them. ‘There’s thousands of them in there…combined, they come out as…as some kind of mishmash of energy. But they’re each their own individual little bit of…something’ Pointer remarks, thinking of Susan Catrini and the others inside his mind.
Benning declares that their hypothesis was correct. ‘Even factoring in that many of the powers will be duplicates, there should still be hundreds of specific, unique powers to choose from’ Benning adds. ‘And now the means by which to utilize them’ Benning remarks, before telling the scientists to take him to the lab and prepare donors for transfer. But, a withered Pointer suddenly collapses on the floor. Benning takes his hand and tells him that the time for discussion is over, and that he needs to realize she is the only one who can help him now. ‘You trusted me once before, remember. It was me you reached out to…I’m asking you to trust me once again’ Benning tells him.
His face withered, and sweat continuing to pour down, Pointer manages a half-smile, and tells Benning that she really is a piece of work. ‘What makes you think that you were the only one I reached out to?’ he asks, when, suddenly, the door is kicked in, knocking over a scientist and a security guard. Standing in the doorway is Johnny Walker a.k.a. USAgent, bandages on his arms, and wrapped around one of his eyes, he looks furiously into the room. Walker is flanked by Julia Carpenter’s daughter, Rachel, and Agent Brown who looks at Benning and remarks ‘I’m sorry, Dr Benning, but I don’t believe I got the memo on all this…’.

Fourth Story:  Weapon Omega, part 12, conclusion
Fourth Story:
Five minutes ago, CSIS headquarters, Canada, where USAgent a.k.a. Johnny Walker holds up Agent Brown by his neck, shouting ‘A super-junkie, Brown? Is that what Weapon Omega’s all about, you sick, twisted *@#!!’. Gasping for breath, Agent Brown assures Walker that he didn’t know about this. ‘I swear!’ he pleads. ‘You’re lying!’ Walker shouts back. ‘You’ve got to trust me!’ Agent Brown exclaims. ‘Trust…my mom always trust is something you earn, Agent Brown’. Rachel Carpenter, daughter of the second Spider-Woman, now known as Arachne, remarks, sucking on a lollipop. Walker glances at Rachel through his one good eye - the other is covered by bandages due to injuries he sustained at the hands of Michael Pointer - before turning back to Brown and telling him to start earning.
Now, Walker, Rachel and Agent Brown stand in the doorway of Michael Pointer’s quarters, where a dire Pointer has been arguing with Dr Benning. ‘I’m a big confused as to why I had to hear about this little meeting from Mr Walker and Ms Carpenter here, Dr Benning’ Agent Brown exclaims. Flanked by CSIS security guards and scientists, Benning tells Agent Brown to remove himself immediately, assuring him that he will be debriefed later. But Brown replies that he doesn’t think so, and tells Benning that he is not certain the Prime Minister would like what is transpiring here either. ‘And I know that Mr Walker’s government will be very…enlightened’ Brown adds.
USAgent helps the withered Pointer to his feet, telling Benning not to look at him, as he heard about this from the kid. ‘Hello!’ Rachel exclaims proudly. Pointer reminds Benning that she is the one who suggested he reach out to Rachel, and explains that he contacted her telepathically, just like he did with her. ‘Might not have been what you had in mind…but - I needed help and she’s the only one I really trust around here!’ Pointer exclaims. ‘Um…yeah…and Mom was gone so I went and found Mr Walker’ Rachel explains, revealing that she was the one who pulled the medical equipment from USAgent. ‘And here we are. One. Big. Happy. Family’. Walker mutters sarcastically.
Agent Brown exclaims that Pointer is dying, and tells Benning to give him some power, now. Benning tells Agent Brown that if he is going to try and make demands, he needs to be in a position to make such demands. ‘Your pitiful show of force is far from intimidating - a teenage girl and two heroes who can barely stand!’ Benning exclaims. ‘Actually, I’m feeling a lot better, but thanks for asking’ Walker tells Benning. Michael explains that there are all different kinds of powers inside of him, and that three or four of them are healers. ‘Guess…using their powers was how I saved Walker’ he remarks. ‘Who gives a crap how? Point is I’m ready to kick some well-deserved ass again!’ Walker shouts, leaning towards Benning.
‘Be that as it may, Mr Walker, I implemented lock-down measures twenty minutes ago’ Benning explains, revealing that all recording devices and transmissions connected to the Guardian suit have ceased. ‘there will be no evidence of what’s transpired in this room here today’. The withered Pointer suddenly informs Benning that he took some measures of his own. ‘Ever hear of technopathy?’ he asks, explaining that it is a form of telepathy which lets you talk to machines. Pointer declares that he had not heard of it either, not until he was in his mind and met a guy named Key. ‘His power let me access…access all the computers and little cameras you both have everywhere…and I mean everywhere!’ Pointer exclaims.
‘You bugged me…she bugged me…you had each other bugged…I’ve accessed them all…and everything will be sent to Tony Star in…four minutes. Only I can stop that message from going out!’ Pointer announces as dozens of small hover-cameras appear in the room. Benning and Brown look nervously at the cameras, before Rachel exclaims ‘And, uh, I don’t know if this helps or not, but I also did text my Mom before going and getting Mr Walker’. Rachel receives a text response at that moment, ‘That should be her texting me back’ Rachel informs everyone as she looks at her phone, before laughing. Walker smiles and asks ‘What did she say?’
‘Quack quack’ Rachel replies. ‘I’m sorry?’ Benning asks, confused. ‘Quack quack. You know…as in duck!’ Rachel exclaims as Julia “Arachne” Carpenter and Dr Walker “Sasquatch” Langkowski burst into the room, sending rubble flying and knocking several CSIS guards over. ‘Hi, Mom!’ Rachel exclaims. The sultry Julia tells her daughter that she got her signal and asks if she is all right. ‘What happened?’ Julia adds. Benning coughs due to all the dust the heroes’ entry created, before turning to the scientists and scowling at them. ‘We - we screened all outgoing messages as you requested, Doctor’ one of them replies urgently.
Rachel reads out her text to everyone: “Mom, we’re out of bologna. Can u pick some up?”, and explains that it is their own little secret code for trouble. ‘It - it seemed innocuous…so we let it through’ one of the scientists reply, before Julia asks ‘What exactly is going on here?’. Agent Brown exclaims that what is going on is that Dr Benning is relinquishing control of the Guardian suit and giving the power back to Pointer. ‘Do it now!’ he shouts at Benning. But Benning just stares blankly at Agent Brown, to which Sasquatch declares that he is not entirely sure of what is going on, but that he is getting the idea that Dr Benning is the bad guy. ‘And I don’t like that’ he snarls at her.
Benning gasps at Sasquatch, before she turns to one of the scientists, ‘Do it’ she tells him. The scientist presses a button on the console that he carries, and Pointer’s withered form begins to glow - he moans, and moments later, is restored to his healthy appearance. ‘Damn!’ Walker exclaims as he, Julia and Agent Brown watch what transpires. Pointer then strides over to Dr Benning and looks her in the eyes, grabbing her around the neck, he whispers to her ‘It’s time to go inside now, Doctor…’, and takes her into his mind. ‘This is what you wanted, isn’t it?’ Michael asks Benning as they are surrounded by Susan Catrini and the others inside Pointer’s mind. ‘The opportunity to see what makes me tick. Well, here it is, Doctor…here it is!’ Pointer exclaims.
Moments later, Benning collapses in Pointers’ arms. Pointer shoves Benning at one of the scientists and declares that she has met her victims face-to-face now - ‘She’s seen the Collective. What happens to her next? I don’t care’ Pointer declares. ‘”Physician heal thyself”’ he quotes. ‘If she can’ he adds, before turning to the scientists and exclaiming that they are all going to help him now. ‘Or you’ll take the same little journey she just did!’ he warns them as he destroys the console that controls his powers.
‘What just happened?’ Sasquatch asks. ‘Long story’ Walker replies as the two of them, Julia and Rachel watch Pointer stride towards Agent Brown, asking him ‘How much did you know?’. ‘Michael, listen -’ Agent Brown begins, but Pointer punches him in the face. ‘How. Much. Did. You. Know?’ Pointer asks clearly. Agent Brown wipes the blood from his face, revealing that he knew the suit had to be integrated with Michael, that it had to synch up with his biology. ‘The result - the result was a dependency, yes, but there was no other choice. It was the only way it would work!’ Agent Brown exclaims.
As Pointer grabs Agent Brown by the collar, Brown swears to him that he didn’t know thy were feeding him like that. ‘I was trying to help you - I still am. I still can, Michael!’ Agent Brown exclaims. ‘You turned me into even more of a freak than I was before! Now I’m a murderer and some kind of super-junkie!’ Pointer shouts. The rest of Omega Flight, and Rachel Carpenter, gather at Michael’s side, while Agent Brown asks ‘So what now? What do we do?’
Epilogue:
Michael Pointer a.k.a. the new Guardian hovers in the sky, thinking to himself ‘Choices. That’s what life is all about, I guess. Sometimes they’re easy, sometimes they’re hard. Sometimes you’re the innocent bystander caught up in the mess made by the choices of others’. He tells himself that he didn’t choose to be a mutant, didn’t choose to be stuck with the residual powers of a thousand mutants inside of him - and didn’t choose to be turned into an addict. ‘But I’m making the choices now. Now I have the knowledge to guide me and protect me from the choices of others. And I won’t be their pawns anymore’.
Soaring downwards to a construction site, Michael tells himself that he will not be their Weapon Omega - and he won’t be their Guardian, either. The construction workers look at Pointer oddly, before he helps set down a large sign that says Welcome to North Pole, Alaska. ‘Those are the names they chose for me. I am not their weapon. I am not their opportunity. I am Michael Pointer…and this is the beginning of my story…’
