Four Days - part 2
The Massachusetts Academy, Snow Valley, where Generation X’s glamorous Monet St Croix is currently training on the courtyard outside the gymnasium, with her teacher and mentor, Sean “Banshee” Cassidy. Monet is the super-powered daughter of a wealthy and influential ambassador. She excels in every physical category, she is cultured, sophisticated, and her beauty and grace are unmatched - and she knows it. Wearing part of her new costume, Monet kicks Sean, but he, the former X-Man, blocks her, while Jubilation Lee a.k.a. Jubilee (presumably the person responsible for sticking a drawing of Magneto’s head to the punching bag, with Grrrr! I bend your spoons written on it), watches the training. Jubilee is a hyperactive, ex-social mall-rat, orphaned at a young age and raised by the X-Men. She likes Hello Kitty and old Blondie records - quite possibly the exact opposite of Monet. So what happens when these two spend the day together in New York City…?
‘Y’know, this really sucks’ Jubilee mutters as she eats a bowl of cereal. ‘Why d’yeh say that?’ Sean asks as he blocks another of Monet’s advances. ‘Cuz it’s boring, Mister Cassidy!’ Jubilee complains, standing up she points out that Monet can punch through steel and toss people about like frisbees. ‘All she has to do is use her powers just a little bit and you’d be out in, like, two seconds flat!’ Monet takes another swipe at Sean, while admitting that it is quite tempting. Banshee tells Jubilee that she knows just as well as he does that there are doing to be times where you find yourself in battle, but for whatever reason, cannot reveal you are a mutant.
Banshee takes a kick at Monet’s head, and Monet blocks him, while Banshee points out that it is important that they are all skilled in conventional fighting like this. ‘I want yeh to be able to take care of yourselves whatever the situation’. Banshee steps back from Monet as she takes a punch at him, remarking that this is an excellent exercise in self-control, for no matter how much Monet wants to, she knows she cannot give in and use her powers. ‘Doing so exposes her, and puts her in further danger’ Sean adds as her grabs Monet’s foot when she tries to kick him, only to be flipped over, where she lands, hard, on the ground. ‘Oww!’ Monet mutters, while Jubilee’s mouth drops open in shock.
Banshee tells Jubilee that, although Monet clearly has an advantage over him in many areas in terms of mutant ability, in strict hand-to-hand combat, he was quite easily able to defeat her. Monet grimaces and stands up behind Banshee, who remarks that it is important to note that not once during the contest did Monet lose control and use her powers to gain an advantage, so in that respect, the exercise was successful. Sean points out that is the whole point of the Academy, to learn how to use their mutant abilities, to grow with them, to learn how to adapt them into your day-to-day lives. ‘Not to just go off with them on a whim, or out of anger…isn’t that right, Monet?’ Sean asks, realizing Monet is sneaking up behind him.
Monet quickly retracts her fist, ‘Oh, absolutely, Mister Cassidy!’ she smiles. ‘Glad to hear it’ Sean smiles back, before telling the girls to take care, as he walks off. Jubilee asks Monet if she was really going to hit Sean, to which Monet replies ‘Of course, I was. Why wouldn’t I? I would be foolish to enter a conflict with no intention of using my abilities. It’s like a soldier entering a fire-fight without his rifle’. Jubilee asks Monet what would happen in a situation where she might have to keep her powers a secret, like Sean said. Monet replies that she doesn’t ever plan on allowing such a situation to develop. ‘It’s as simple as that’ she declares, adding that her powers belong to her, and that she will never opt not to use them if the need arises. ‘Regardless of what anyone else says’.
Monet proceeds to leave the training area, before informing Jubilee that she is taking a car into Manhattan today. ‘You are welcome to join me, if you don’t already have plans’. Jubilee looks stunned as she asks ‘You’re asking me to go with you? Why? What’s the catch?’ Monet tells Jubilee not to gape, as it doesn’t become her, and asks her not to make a bigger deal out of it than it is. ‘I am just trying to be nice’ she explains, before telling Jubilee that once she has changed into something a little more presentable she can meet her in the kitchen. ‘The car arrives in an hour, and I don’t intend to wait for you if you are late’.
Soon, Monet, Jubilee and their teammate Jonothan “Chamber” Starsmore arrive in New York City. ‘Yeah! New York City rocks!’ Jubilee exclaims as she takes in the sights and sounds, before asking Monet to remind her when they get back to ask Emma and Sean to relocate the Academy here. ‘Brilliant idea, Jubilee’ Chamber remarks as he eyes up some young women. Monet puts her hands to her eyes to pretend she doesn’t know them, telling them to stop acting like a couple of backwoods hicks in town for the first time. ‘You’re embarrassing yourselves!’ she tells them, while Jubilee jumps up and down with excitement.
Chamber tells the glamorous Monet that it looks like she has her hands full, and tells her that he will see her later, and to call if she needs anything, otherwise, they can all meet back here at six. Monet stares at Jono before turning to Jubilee and declaring: ‘Jubilation! Stop acting like a child, please, and let’s get going!’. Jubilee tells Monet to relax, and calls her a party pooper. ‘You have gotta learn how to have a good time!’ Jubilee tells her. Monet replies that, for her, a good time doesn’t include gawking like a tourist in the middle of Times Square, as it is so tacky and middle American. ‘You have it your way, rich girl’ Jubilee replies, before asking where they are heading. Monet hails a cab as she replies that they are going to Downtown Soho. ‘I know it’s not the mall, Jubilee, but trust me, this is for your own good’.
Shortly, in an up-market fashion store, Jubilee slouches on a couch by a dressing room, blowing bubbles with her gum. A shop assistant approaches Jubilee and asks her if there is anything she can show her while she waits for her friend. ‘Yeah, you could do that. But if I were you, I’d be making sure that my friend is well taken care of’ Jubilee replies, popping her gum. ‘Pardon?’ the shop assistant asks, unimpressed. ‘You know who she is, right? That’s Monet St Croix’ Jubilee remarks. I’m sorry…should I know who that is?’ the shop assistant replies, still unimpressed.
‘Hello! The Monet St Croix? Come on, surely you’ve seen her in that movie! And the Victoria’s Secret ads?’ Jubilee exclaims, getting to her feet. ‘Oh, yes! Yes, of course! She looks so much younger in real life!’ the shop assistant replies, glancing sideways nervously. Jubilee exclaims that Monet gets that all the time. ‘You know how it is, though. The camera. Ten pounds, bad lighting, yadda, yadda, yadda…anyway, she is the one you should be worrying about, not me’, Jubilee tells the shop assistant, before asking her if she knows that Monet is dating Robert de Niro. ‘NO!’ gasps the shop assistant. ‘Totally! She’s even gonna be in his next film -’ Jubilee begins, when suddenly, Monet steps out of the dressing room.
Wearing a tight black mini-dress with black platforms, Monet “hmphs”, before remarking that she hopes she is not interrupting anything. The shop assistant puts on a big fake smile and exclaims ‘It looks fantastic on you, Ms St Croix!’ Monet gives a half-smile and narrows her eyes as she replies ‘Yes, it does, doesn’t it?’ The shop assistant begins taking notes as Monet tells her that she will take the dress, as well as the gray one, and the boots, along with the cashmere coat. ‘Hey, how do you know my name?’ Monet asks the shop assistant, who just looks nervously in the other direction, while Jubilee smiles.
Shortly, Monet sits very uncomfortably in a funky, but not sophisticated, clothing store. Two valley girls approach Monet, who frowns at them as they exclaims ‘Um sorry to bother you, but… you have like the most beautiful hair we have ever seen!’ ‘Yes, I know. Thank you’ Monet replies graciously. One of the girls asks Monet if she is a model, to which Monet replies that she is a student. ‘In college? Cool! You could totally be a model, have you ever tried?’ the other girl asks. ‘Um, no, not really -’ Monet replies, when the blonde girl interrupts, telling her friend that she knows this girl, Brooke, who started modeling when she was, like, thirteen. ‘Brook from class?’ the other girl asks. ‘No, the other one! That goes out with Josh!’ the blonde girl exclaims. Monet rolls her eyes, before getting up and pushing past the girls, telling that she needs to check on her friend. ‘Fine, be that way!’ one of the girls exclaims. ‘See if we care!’ the other adds’.
Monet approaches Jubilee, who is wearing a checked skirt and ripped green t-shirt, with her hair pushed upwards, and tells her that is a very interesting outfit. ‘Isn’t it? It’s so 1977! I love it!’ Jubilee replies, grinning. Jubilee asks Monet what was up with those girls talking to her. ‘I don’t think I have ever seen you look that uncomfortable before’ she tells her. Monet replies that she is pretty sure those girls are the same age as her, and she knows she grew up differently than most other people, but she just has no idea how to talk to them.
‘Yeah, well, join the club, M. What do you expect? They are just typical high school kids, and you are Ms fancy pants ambassador’s daughter from Morocco’ Jubilee replies. ‘You certainly do enjoy reminding me of that’ Monet replies, to which Jubilee exclaims ‘Seriously, we’re mutants. We live in the middle of nowhere. We stay home most of the time’ Jubilee declares that she lives vicariously through “The Real World” and “Ricki Lake” television shows. ‘Let’s face it: we’re our own best friends, because we have to be. The world doesn’t want people like us around, and probably never will. We’re on our own, M’ Jubilee exclaims. ‘Sucks, but it’s true’ she adds.
Realizing Monet has been silent, Jubilee asks her what she is thinking about. ‘Nothing’ Monet replies. Jubilee sighs, and asks ‘It’s Everett, isn’t it?’, before exclaiming that she misses him too, before pointing out that it has been months. ‘It’s like after I lost my parents, Logan taught me how to deal with that, how to mourn loved ones, and also how to keep it in perspective and move on’. Jubilee declares that Synch was their teammate, and more importantly, their friend. ‘We all miss him a lot, and think about him every day. But you gotta stop beating yourself up about this, Monet’.
Monet gets angry, and throws her hands in the air, ‘That’s easy for you to say. You didn’t have what I had with him!’ Monet snaps. ‘You didn’t wait your whole life to find someone like him, so kind and sweet and smart and sexy, and then have him taken away, right in front of your eyes! The first and only person in my life I have cared about like that, and he was just ripped away from me in an instant! I will never ever see him again - and you have no idea what that’s like! You don’t know how I feel! DO YOU?!’ Monet shouts. Monet stops shouting, and sees tears streaming down Jubilee’s face. Monet composes herself and hugs Jubilee, ‘Yes, yes. Of course you do, don’t you?’ Monet whispers.
Soon, Monet and Jubilee sit in a café, and Jubilee holds a strange brown drink in front of Monet - ‘And this would be…?’ Monet asks hesitantly. Jubilee explains that it is bubble tea, a dessert drink from China. ‘Try it. It’s good!’ she exclaims. Monet asks what the black balls in the bottom of the drink are, to which Jubilee assures her that it is only tapioca, and tells her that if she doesn’t want it, if it’s too weird for her delicate sensibilities, she would be happy to take it off her hands. ‘Besides? Aren’t you supposed to be all well-traveled and hip to all sorts of cultures? Drink up, princess smarty pants!’
‘Fine. If only just to shut you up’ Monet replies as she puts the straw in her mouth, and sucks the drink - including the tapioca - and as she does, she jumps up from her seat and covers her mouth. ‘Oh, God, these things feel repulsive!’ she exclaims, to which Jubilee casually replies that she guess it takes some getting used to. ‘Mark my words though: six months from now, Starbucks will be selling these!’ Jubilee exclaims.
Soon, the subway train speeds along the track. Inside the packed train, Jubilee and a little kid sitting across from each other poke their tongues out at each other, while Monet reads a magazine, nose in the air. Jubilee creates a small plasma burst, causing the kid to grin with glee. Monet notices Jubilee using her powers, and elbows her in the side. ‘Ow!’ Jubilee exclaims, to which Monet asks her if she has gone mental. ‘This train is filled with people!’ Monet points out. Jubilee points out that it is just a little kid, and tells Monet to relax and lighten up. ‘Lighten up? Look, it’s one thing to have pride and confidence in your abilities like I said this morning, but to be purposely careless is just…’ Monet’s voice trails off when a gun is fired in the carriage.
‘SIT DOWN!’ a man in a balaclava calls out, accompanied by several others. ‘I assume the adults here are all registered voters?’ one of the men asks as he hands out some brochures, assuring everyone that he will only take a minute of their time, announcing that he is here to ask they support Senator Kelly in the upcoming election. ‘Senator Kelly. He’s that anti-mutant slime ball Emma mentioned. He was just assassinated!’ Jubilee whispers to Monet, who frowns, wondering what the masked man is talking about, when she gets his answer as he turns to her and declares ‘Oh wait. I forgot. You can’t vote for him. You know why? Because he was just murdered by mutants, that’s what!’. The masked man thrusts a brochure in Monet’s face as he looks at her and remarks that the media claimed Kelly was killed by one of his own - a human - but they know better.
Monet looks annoyed, but says nothing. Jubilee whispers to her to keep cool, to which Monet replies that she is. The other passengers on the train look around nervously, while the men in balaclavas hold their guns up. ‘Mutants. The scum of the Earth. The sort of freaks that scurry about the shadows, hunting down innocent victims to infect with their diseased genes!’ He holds up the brochure, with a photo of Senator Kelly on it, and the words Senator Kelly: Murdered by Mutants!! printed on it. ‘So that is why, in the name of the late Senator Kelly…a brilliant man, a visionary, a born leader…I vow to continue his work to rid society of these godless mutants!’.
Monet pouts as she watches the terrorist, while Jubilee whispers ‘Oh, please, what a bunch of nutcases’ as she turns to Monet and asks what the deal is. ‘Can you tweak their minds, make them drop the guns and start crying for mommy or something?’. Monet continues to stare ahead as she replies that she thinks she can disarm all them before they get a shot off. ‘Wait, disarm them? You mean physically?’ Jubilee asks. Monet replies that she has ran the numbers. ‘Typical reaction times with distance and number of adversaries. With my considerable speed and reflexes, I estimate a 74% chance of success’.
Monet states that the odds are clearly in her favor, and explains to Jubilee that she is a lot more comfortable with that than attempting to influence five minds at once, especially when those minds are pointing assault rifles at innocent people. Jubilee looks nervous as she tells Monet that there is a lot at risk here for a puny 74%. Suddenly, the main terrorist spins round to Jubilee and Monet and asks them what they are whispering about. ‘Oh, you know, the usual…makeup, tampax…girl stuff’. Suddenly, the little kid from earlier shouts ‘Hey, mister! She makes sparks with her hands! Again! Show me again!’ he calls out to Jubilee. The terrorist frowns and points his weapon at Jubilee. ‘I knew there was something about you two. I swear, I can smell a mutant a mile off -’ he exclaims, when, suddenly, his gun vanishes from his hands.
Indeed, Monet used her super-speed to grab it from him, then she aims it at him, warning him to tell his men to drop their guns and stand down. ‘That’ll never happen, you perverse piece of -’ the terrorist retorts as he reaches into his jacket, just as Monet shouts ‘Everybody down! Jubilee!’. Jubilee takes her cue and blasts the terrorist at close-range with her plasma fireworks. Monet throws the bullets from the gun, while Jubilee blasts the weapons of the other terrorists. The terrorists promptly pull out sharp knives. ‘Jubilee -’ Monet calls out. ‘Got it, M!’ Jubilee replies, dropping to the train floor, she blasts a firework at one of the terrorists who lunges at her, but she flips him over. ‘I don’t need prompting!’ she assures Monet.
Monet takes on two of the terrorists at once, kicking one of them hard in the face, while shoving another’s arm through the train wall. The other passengers look on in shock as Monet flies through the carriage and grabs one of the terrorists who has begun to flee, shoving him to the floor, she pulls his arm back behind his head. The terrorist whom attacked Jubilee shouts ‘You…you…filth!’ as he points a gun at Jubilee, who lies on the train floor clutching her arm. The terrorist fires the bullet, which speeds towards Jubilee - who is rescued in the nick of time as Monet picks up the injured Jubilee, then punches the terrorist hard in the face.
With her injured teammate in her arms, Monet turns to the other passengers, who stare at her with some disdain. Monet stares back, using her telepathy to erase their recent memories, before she jumps out the back of the carriage and onto the subway tracks.
Soon, on a deserted platform, Monet has placed Jubilee up against a dumpster as her teammate regains consciousness. ‘M?’ Jubilee asks. Monet tells Jubilee that it is all right, and that she is here. ‘Ow! Be careful!’ Jubilee exclaims as Monet ties a makeshift bandage around her injured arm. Monet tells Jubilee to stop being such a baby, and that it is hardly a scratch, as the new costumes really work. ‘The knife barely got through’ she assures Jubilee. Looking around, Jubilee asks where they are. ‘Somewhere out of the way’ Monet replies, admitting that she isn’t quite sure where, but that they shouldn’t stay here long. ‘You should see what that subway car looked like when we left’ Monet smiles.
Jubilee rubs her head, before remembering that someone shot at her. Monet smirks as she holds the bullet up in front of Jubilee, remarking that it is fortunate for her she is pretty good at catching bullets. ‘You know, I never cease to amaze myself’ Monet adds. ‘Yeah, but that’s never much of a problem for you, is it?’ Jubilee jokes, before Monet helps her up. ‘So much for keeping out powers a secret in public’ Monet replies that she took care of that. ‘A good old-fashioned Emma Frost mind-wipe’ she exclaims, adding that she executed it perfectly. ‘Are you serious? Sean is gonna kill you! He hates that stuff! It’s an abuse of your powers, you know, to use that on innocents!’ Jubilee exclaims.
‘Innocents. Yeah, right, Jubilee’ Monet replies. ‘Just like the “innocents” that are responsible for Ev’s death. The same “innocents” that have us hiding out like rejects from society. And on the one day we try to live like normal people and go shopping, we end up having to defend our lives - just for being born the way we were born!’ Monet exclaims. ‘Well, I’m sorry, Jubilee, but the “innocents” will just have to deal with it!’. Monet reveals that the mind-wipe is one of the very first things Emma taught her, but no one else knows that, especially Sean. ‘And I expect it to stay that way’ Monet tells Jubilee. ‘Fine! Enough with the speeches, all right? I just wanna get out of here!’ Jubilee replies, before suggesting they go and meet up with Jono. ‘I hope he had a better day than I did…’.

Four Days - part 3
The grounds of the Massachusetts Academy, Angelo “Skin” Espinoza is going for a jog. Using his mutant abilities to extend his skin, Angelo extends his fingers and wraps them around a tree branch, which he then swings over, and leaps across the ground. Angelo is an ex-hoodlum from Los Angeles, turned wannabe black ops spook. Aside from his extra six feet of skin, his defining characteristics include being a wiseass and his inability to score with the ladies. Suddenly, Sean “Banshee” Cassidy catches up to his pupil. ‘Hey, Mister Cassidy. What’s up?’ Angelo asks. The former X-Man congratulates Skin on a nice move back there, and remarks that he seems to be taking his advice to heart and experimenting with new uses for his abilities.
Skin replies that time they fought the House of Correction cyborgs he was feeling pretty useless, so figured he should try and build up his arsenal of moves. Sean asks Angelo if he has anything else he can show him, to which Skin smiles and replies ‘I was hoping you would say that!’. ‘This isn’t another one of those things where yeh want me to take a shot at yeh, is it?’ Banshee asks. Skin smiles and tells Banshee not to be a wimp and to try and hit him. ‘”Try” and hit yeh? Most of the times we do this, lad, yeh are out cold before yeh ever saw it coming!’ Sean reminds Skin, who asks ‘We gonna do this or not?’
‘Fine. I dunno what it is with yeh kids this morning, just begging me to knock yeh down!’ Sean replies as he moves his fist towards Skin, who suddenly extends his extra skin out from the palm of his hand, wrapping it around Sean’s fist before flipping Sean around and knocking him to the ground. ‘Pretty sucky, huh?’ Angelo asks as he releases Sean from his grasp, explaining that he balls up the extra skin in his palm to absorb the impact first, then just extends it over his hand. Banshee congratulates Skin on a good job, and tells him not to dislocate his shoulder, as he has a long drive ahead of him today.
Getting to his feet and brushing his shoulder, Sean tells Angelo that in all seriousness, that was really good. ‘I had no idea it was coming . Took me completely by surprise’. Skin thanks Banshee and tells him that he really tried to think about what he has told him. ‘Good to know’ Sean replies, suggesting they get back to the mansion and get ready to head into Boston. Sean asks Angelo if he is still up for coming along, as it is just a quick business trip, he suggests that Angelo might have more fun in New York with Monet, Jubilee and Chamber. Skin replies that he is really looking forward to “hanging” with Banshee today. As they make their way back to the mansion, Sean tells Skin to meet him out front in about 20 minutes, as he has to make a phone call first.
In his office, Sean sits at his desk, some files in front of him, he looks at a photo of his long-time lover, Dr. Moira MacTaggert, world-renowned scientists and greatest ally of the X-Men. Sean smiles before picking up the phone: ‘Charles! Charles Xavier yeh old bastard! I didn’t expect yeh to answer!’ Sean exclaims. Banshee remarks to Xavier that he is actually a bit embarrassed, as he has owed Moira a phone call for months, and has never managed to get around to it, what with all that has happened. ‘I had thought this was her line, but I must have misdialled. Is she in?’ Sean remarks. Suddenly, Sean’s expression goes from happy, to shock. Wide-eyed he whispers ‘…eh? What’s that?
Moments later, out front of the mansion, Skin is waiting for Sean, who suddenly storms past him, striding towards his jeep. ‘Hey, Sean. Wait up. What’s the rush, man?’ Skin calls out as he follows Sean. A stern-faced Banshee takes the wheel of the jeep as Skin gets in, and slams his foot on the accelerator, speeding away from the Massachusetts Academy. ‘Uh…Sean?’ Angelo calls out, but he gets no response.
Later, Angelo turns from looking out the window, to Sean, asking him if he is okay. ‘You haven’t said anything for hours’ Skin points out. ‘Whatever, man’ Angelo mutters when Sean doesn’t respond to him. Suddenly, Angelo urgently alerts Sean to the fact that he is missing the exit. ‘Bloody hell!’ Banshee exclaims, as the jeep swerves. ‘What the hell is wrong with you, man?’ a frustrated Skin asks. Sean apologizes and tells Skin that he is right. ‘I should explain. But first let’s find a pub. I need a pint’ Sean remarks.
Soon, in Boston, at the pub “Ryan’s Daughter”. Sean and Angelo sit across from each other, and Sean tells Angelo not to go thinking that he will be making a habit of buying him beers. ‘This is just the one, right?’ Sean declares, explaining that it is only because he doesn’t like drinking alone. ‘Cheers lad. To lost loves and all that crap’ Sean remarks as he and Skin clink their glasses together. Drinking the beer, Angelo remarks that he has never had this kind before and tells Sean that it is good. ‘It’s Guinness’ Sean reveals, signalling to the waitress to bring him another, before telling Angelo that he owes him an apology for what happened back there.
‘It’s cool, man. I can tell something pretty serious is on your mind, though’ Angelo replies. Sean looks sad as he replies ‘Yeah’ and asks Skin if he remembers Moira. The waitress brings Sean’s drink over and asks Angelo if he is ready for another, but Sean tells her that he is just having the one. ‘So? Moira?’ Skin jokingly asks if she finally figures out what a loser Sean is and dumped him. ‘No. I only wish it were that’ Sean replies, before closing his eyes and announcing that Moira died. ‘I just found out this morning’ Sean explains. A wide-eyed Angelo tells Banshee that he is so sorry. ‘I feel like a total idiot…’ Angelo remarks.
Sean tells him not to and that it is okay. ‘I always keep my personal life so private, most people don’t expect this sort of talk out of me. But I need to get this out. Bear with me, lad’ Sean adds, to which Angelo tells him that it is not a problem. ‘I loved her, Angelo. That might sound odd considering we hardly every saw each other anymore, but trust me. I loved her as much as any one man has ever loved a woman’ Sean exclaims. Sean declares that from the first moment he laid eyes on Moira, he knew she was the one. ‘Ever had that feeling before?’ he asks Angelo, who replies ‘Yeah’. ‘Yeh know what I mean, then. It doesn’t matter if yeh’re apart for long periods of time, when yeh do see each other, nothing else matters, not even time’ Sean exclaims. ‘I hear ya’ Angelo agrees.
‘Yeh do, do yeh? What are yeh up to now. All of seventeen?’ Sean asks. Angelo reminds Sean that he knows his history. I’ve been there. Don’t you think I miss Tores? My family and friends from back home?’ he asks, pointing out that faking his own death means he never goes back. ‘I’m dead to them, and in a way, they’re dead to me’. ‘Aye, I suppose so. Still yehr only seventeen. Yeh have quite a ways to go, lad’ Sean tells Skin, suggesting he finish his pint as it is time they got down to business. Skin asks Banshee if he is sure he is up for it, to which Sean replies that it doesn’t matter, as the Academy needs the security upgrades, and informs Skin that his contacts should be here shortly.
‘Are these friends of yours?’ Skin asks, to which Sean replies ‘Not really’, explaining that they are acquaintances from the old days - not exactly the most trustworthy of men. ‘But I should be fine’ he assures Angelo, telling him that he needs to go sit out in the jeep and wait a bit. ‘When I call yeh on the mobile, bring the suitcase from the boot to me’ Sean instructs Skin. ‘That’s the money, right? Wow, you really don’t trust these guys, do you?’ Angelo asks. ‘I wouldn’t have made it as far as I have by being a fool’ Sean smiles.
Shortly, Angelo leaves the pub, and notes four tough men walking in. ‘Sean’s contacts, I guess’ Angelo tells himself as he gets into the jeep. Skin smiles when two young women walk past: ‘Hey, ladies…’ he exclaims, to which the girls just laugh. ‘God, that was lame!’ Skin tells himself, smacking his palm against his forehead. Angelo sees a store across the road and leaves the jeep.
Moments later, Angelo exit’s the store carrying a bag and makes his way to the jeep, only to see Sean - gagged and cuffed - being led away by his contacts. Angelo ducks for cover as he hears the contacts talking: ‘Check the car’ one of them remarks. ‘Is he alone?’ someone else asks. ‘Looks like it. Do you see it anywhere?’ someone exclaims. ‘Here it is. We got it. Let’s roll!’ one of them declares as they take off in their vehicle. ‘Oh man oh man!’ Skin mutters as he leaps into the jeep. He tells himself not to panic, to keep calm. ‘Where’re the keys?’ he mutters. But finding no keys, he picks up a screwdriver, deciding that it is no problem. He sticks the screwdriver into the ignition, and the car starts up. ‘Alright! Man, some things you never forget!’ Skin tells himself.
In the other vehicle, Sean has a metal gag covering his mouth, while his contacts point weapons at him. ‘Yeh gotta lotta nerve, Cassidy!’ one of them remarks. ‘Waltzing back into the old neighborhood like nothing happened. Wanting to cut a deal with us like nothing happened!’. The thug declares that they don’t forget so easy, and remarks that Cecil worked up the device covering his mouth special, just for Sean. The thug pulls something from Sean’s pocket and asks him what wondrous secrets it holds. ‘What has the infamous Sean Cassidy been up to all these long years?’ he asks. Scrolling through the electronic device, the thug asks ‘What’s the “Massachusetts Academy”?’. This causes Sean to rip through the bonds tying his hands, and grabs the gun off one of the thugs.
Sean elbows one of the thugs in the face, and does the same to another, only to be shot at by the fourth. Sean dodges the bullet, which smashes through the rear windscreen - and goes right into the jeep behind them, missing Skin’s face by inches. ‘What the -?’ Angelo gasps. ‘Right, if that’s how you wanna do this…fine by me!’ he exclaims as he speeds up in front of the enemy vehicle.
Inside the other car, the thugs have overwhelmed Banshee, two of them hold him down while another points a gun at his face. ‘Calm down, Cassidy!’ one of them exclaiming, telling him to play nice, before suggesting he give them the password to the files. ‘Don’ make it any harder on yeh than necessary’ he suggests. Sean just stares back at the thugs, ‘What’s that? A bit louder, Sean, yeah?’ the thug retorts as Sean mutters something from behind the gag. The thug then proceeds to shoot Sean in the left thigh, causing Sean to scream from behind the gag.
Skin tells himself to keep it together. ‘You can do this’ he tells himself, remarking that it is no different than the street races back home. ‘No sweat. Done this dozens of times!’ he boasts, exclaiming that he must stay one step ahead and focus, to think of Tores waiting for him at the finish line. Skin smashes into the sidewalk, knocking over a rubbish bin, and tells himself to focus. ‘You’re not in East L.A. This is Boston. Tores isn’t waiting for you. Sean is. Sean needs you!’ Skin tells himself that there is no going home anymore, as L.A. isn’t home, Generation X. The Academy is. Sean is. ‘You already dead. Man. So what’re you waiting for?’ Skin asks himself.
In the other vehicle, the thug asks Sean for the password once more, while Sean covers the bullet hole on his leg. ‘Yeh’re bleeding to death, lad, and we are the only ones able to get you to a hospital in time. Sean? The password!?!’ the thug demands. A desperate Sean looks at him, and uses his fingers to signal “1, 3, 5”. ‘135, is it? Smart lad’ the thug replies before typing it into Sean’s device. Security Lockout Level: Absolute. All Systems Secured states the message that flashes up on the screen. ‘Bastard! I’m through with you!’ the thug exclaims as he swings the gun back in Sean’s face, only to drop it when the vehicle is knocked sideways.
The driver looks back and sees Angelo bumping into them. One of them starts firing at Angelo, show just rams their car once more, then extends his fingers through their window and grabs the wheel of their car. Taking control, he forces both vehicles into a ditch. The thugs get out of their vehicle, ready to challenge Skin, who creates a cat-of-nine-tails whip from his extra skin, and uses it to lash them into unconsciousness. Skin looks into the vehicle where another of the thugs lies unconscious, alongside a motionless Sean.
Concerned, Skin pulls the gag from Sean’s mouth, and calls out to him. Sean opens his eyes, and wearily alerts Skin to his wounded leg. Skin sees blood pouring from Sean’s thigh and tells him to hang on. Sean tells Angelo that in the jeep there is a med kit, and instructs him to get a pressure bandage, as it will keep him alive until they can get to hospital. ‘Right!’ Angelo exclaims, smiling as Sean tells him that he did well and that he is proud of him. As Skin rushes over to the jeep, Banshee whispers ‘I’ll see yeh soon, Moira my love…just not quite yet’.

Four Days - part 4
The Massachusetts Academy, home of the young mutant heroes, Generation X. Paige “Husk” Guthrie runs on the treadmill, while watching a news report on the television, while monitoring events on the internet at the same time:
In world news, a terrorist bomb ripped through the first four floors of a children’s refugee hospital in Villinkovic early this morning. While no known organization has come forward to claim responsibility, Government officials report that the method and materials used in the attack are consistent with those of the Order of the Fifth Star, a newsreader reports. Paige just runs faster: ‘Time index 0602AM. Index. Print. Save under “Terrorism, Global”!’ she tells her computer. The newsreader announces that the Order of the Fifth Star is an ultra right-wing organization, infamous for its nationalist and racist beliefs.
‘File append: note. Record: Possible ethnic / racist motive here. The Order of the Fifth Star makes no attempt to hide how they feel about many population groups, including mutants. Further research is probably a good idea. Record: stop’. Suddenly, Emma Frost, a.k.a. the White Queen, enters the room: ‘Good Lord, Paige. Don’t you ever sleep in?’ Emma asks, dressed in her robe and carrying a cup off coffee. ‘I could hear you all the way from the kitchen, doing whatever it is you’re doing here’ Emma remarks. Paige glances backwards and apologizes, claiming she didn’t mean to make so much noise.
Emma mumbles, before remarking that, given she probably paid for it, she would like to know what Paige’s new project is. ‘Sure thing, Emma’ Husk replies as she explains that she has developed a process and system to track and file all incidents of terrorist and hate around the world that may or may not be related to mutants. ‘I figure it not only serves our purposes, but could also be adapted to help other global organizations committed to tracking similar incidents, racist and ethnic-related’ Paige explains, adding that it is automatically indexed and at regular intervals is uploaded to the computers at Xavier’s, and to their mobile and cellular systems. ‘Neat, huh?’
‘Uh, yes. It is’ Emma replies as she looks at the tons of equipment in the room, before turning and walking out, ‘Well done, Paige. Keep it up’. Emma stands in the hallway and sees Sean “Banshee” Cassidy, her fellow headmaster, approaching. ‘That girl needs to get out more’ she remarks, before asking Sean if Paige is going with the others today. Sean replies that Husk has offered to stay here and “familiarize herself with the new security protocols and procedures”, and he could do nothing to talk her out of it. ‘I’m hardly surprised’ the White Queen remarks, when Paige suddenly runs past them: ‘Tim index 0605AM. Duplicate file and begin enhancement!’ she exclaims, before telling Emma and Sean that she thinks she is onto something. ‘If I don’t see you all before you leave, have a great day!’ she exclaims. Sean smiles, while Emma mutters ‘Why I allowed myself to be talking into approving a “communications technology and media” budget, I will never know’. ‘Aye, nice one, that. Ye’ve created a monster’ Sean jokes.
Later, Paige sits in the communications room, going about her business. ‘Nice one, Mister Cassidy. Quadruple redundancy in the security systems. Even I wouldn’t be that anal…’ she jokes. Paige is called “Husk” for the unenviable ability to literally shed her skin, revealing a second form underneath. Her other interests include writing code, wireless systems, integration technology, Emmylou Harris, and Buffy. ‘What’re you talking about, Guthrie, ‘course you would!’ Paige tells herself, remarking that the systems are such a work of art, and that Sean really knows what he is doing - most of the time, anyway. ‘He does have this annoying tendency to…’ Paige begins, before noticing something strange. ‘What do we have here?’ she asks.
Tapping away at the keyboard, Paige realizes that it is unauthorized access from Sean’s palm pilot. ‘That’s kinda weird’ she remarks, before wondering if Banshee forgot his password. ‘But I know the rules. And so should you. You made them!’. Paige talks to the computer system: ‘Security user: Guthrie77107. Recognize. Initiate…security level one lockout from…mobile systems Cassidy…’ Husk exclaims, when, suddenly, the mansion is plunged into darkness. ‘Uh…security? What just happened?’ Paige asks.
‘Keep cool, Guthrie’ Paige tells herself as she finds a flashlight, and begins walking through the mansion. ‘For all you know, it’s nothing at all. Maybe you just did something wrong’ she tells herself, before deciding ‘Yeah, I wouldn’t buy that either’. Husk searches a few rooms, while wondering what could cause Banshee’s brand spanking new quadruple redundant million dollar security system to go into ‘total spastic lockdown‘. Husk checks the fuse box and sees that all the fuses are intact, so it is not a power loss, as there is still a current. ‘So this is definitely a security thing’ she exclaims. ‘Wow. Sean. Talk about overdoing it. Cutting all power, heat, communications and sealing the windows and exits?’ Paige supposes after the incident with Adrienne, that Sean is not taking any chances.
‘Whoa, wait. Could be…’ Paige begins, before rushing up into the attic. Peering through a boarded up window, she tells herself to keep cool, as there is nothing out there - no psycho Adrienne-types out to get her, no angry parents storming the school. ‘This is just a security precaution…a really, really stupid security precaution that’s scaring the hell out of me, though!’. Husk sees that there is no one outside, so she slumps over, ‘Well, screw this. Nothing’s going on. I’m gonna get the power back online!’ she tells herself.
Making her way back through the mansion, Paige mutters that she hopes this is worth it, before deciding that she has no idea where she is. ‘It’s like the walls are moving or something!’. Paige jokes that she wouldn’t be surprised if that was part of the security program. ‘The power goes out, the walls rearrange, and a giant metal door slams shut on Mr Cassidy’s beer cellar!’. ‘”What’s that yeh say? Me crates o’ Guinness have fallen prey to some prowling baddies? Bloody hell!”’ Paige exclaims, mocking Banshee, when, suddenly, she sees a light on in one of the rooms down the corridor.
‘What the -?’ Husk wonders as she enters what appears to be a class room - filled with ghost children! Paige looks worried, and one of the ghosts looks at her. Paige steps backwards, and then runs from the room: ‘Oh my God oh my God!’ she exclaims, before tripping over. Husk grabs her mobile phone, which displays a “no signal” message. ‘Damn! If it’s Sean’s security program blocking my signal, I swear I’m gonna kill that man!’. Looking behind her, Paige gasps ‘Oh, no!’ as she sees several of the ghosts flying towards her! By the time the ghosts reach Paige though, all that remains is a pile of skin.
One of the girl ghosts enters the library, where Paige has shifted into a concrete form, and tries to blend into a pillar. The ghost finds her, and a nervous Paige asks ‘What…what do you want?’. The ghost of the young girl looks at Paige and asks ‘Read?’, before turning to one of the bookcases. ‘What did you say? What the…’ Husk exclaims as the girl reaches for a book. ‘Please?’ the girl asks, sitting down on the floor. Husk tells herself to keep cool, pointing out that this is just a little girl, and she can do this. Picking up the book though, a piece of paper drops out of it, with the name Hannah McMurray across the top.
‘Are you Hannah?’ Husk asks. ‘Yes’ the girl replies. ‘My name is Paige. You wrote this?’ Husk asks. ‘Yes’ Hannah replies, to which Paige asks her if she wants her to read it. ‘Yes, please’ Hannah tells her. Sometime later, a shocked Husk finishes reading the letter, and asks Hannah if this story is true. Hannah remains silent. ‘Did this happen to you?’ a worried Paige asks. Hannah looks away from Husk, who asks her if she can look. ‘I won’t hurt you, I promise’ Husk assures Hannah, who replies ‘Okay’. Husk pulls back Hannah’s dress, and sees the lash marks across her back. ‘Oh, my God!’ Paige gasps.
Hannah looks sad, and Husk takes her by the hands, and lifts back Hannah’s sleeves, revealing more cuts and bruises. Paige is horrified, and pulls Hannah in close to hug her. ‘It’s okay, sweetie’ Husk assures Hannah, who starts crying.
Later, Monet St. Croix, Jubilation “Jubilee” Lee and Jonothan “Chamber” Starsmore arrive back at the Massachusetts Academy after their day shopping in New York. ‘What the heck? Everything’s locked! Jubilee complains. ‘Hold on’ the glamorous Monet tells everyone as she types a password into her phone. ‘Simple enough’ Monet remarks as the front door opens for them. Entering the mansion, Jubilee calls out to Paige, while Chamber remarks that he hopes she is okay. ‘I’ll call her’ Monet tells everyone, while Jubilee asks Chamber ‘What’s this I hear about a girl?’ Chamber just tells her to shut up. ‘That’s what I thought’ Jubilee replies, before Monet announces that she thinks something is wrong, as Husk is not answering her phone.
‘I’m right here!’ Husk announces as she enters the foyer, explaining that her phone was turned off, she asks if the driver is still out there. ‘Yes, probably. Are you okay?’ Monet asks. Husk replies that she is fine, but needs to go out for a while, and asks Monet to tell Sean and Emma. ‘Of course’ Monet replies. ‘You sure you’re okay, Paige? The security system…’ Jubilee begins, but Husk has already rushed over to the driver.
Soon, night has fallen as Paige stares out the window of the car, which eventually pulls up outside a farmhouse. The driver stands motionless as Paige, letter in hand, gets out of the car and approaches the house. ‘Yes? May I help you?’ an elderly woman asks. Paige introduces myself, and explains that she attends the Massachusetts Academy, north of here. ‘I believe you also attended there, back when it was a girl’s boarding school’ Paige remarks. The elderly woman replies that she did, along with her sister Hannah. ‘God rest her soul’ the old woman remarks, before asking Paige if there is something she can help her with.
Husk hands the old woman the letter and book and tells her that she thinks she should have it. ‘Hannah wrote that’ she remarks, pointing at the letter. ‘…how did you -’ the old woman begins, before covering her mouth and going wide-eyed as she reads the letter. ‘Oh, dear Lord…Hannah. My poor sister…I remember she wrote that after…’ her voice trails off. Husk tells Mrs McMurray that it is okay. ‘It wasn’t your fault’ Paige assures the old woman, as she comforts her….

Brand New Day
(Flashback, takes place during Generation X #70)‘See that, dear sister? You can hurt, after all!’ Adrienne Frost exclaims to Emma Frost a.k.a. the White Queen, her sister. ‘You sick twisted witch…. Right. That’s it!’ Emma replies as she reaches behind her back and under her jacket - where she pulls out a pistol. ‘I’m finished with you!’ Emma declares, aiming the pistol at Adrienne, she fires - and the bullet strikes her psychotic sister in the chest, knocking her backwards. Emma wipes the blood splatter from her own face, and crouches beside her unmoving sister, ‘You’re wrong, “dear sister”!’ she tells her. ‘I don’t hurt. I never hurt!’ Emma tells her, kissing her, before remarking that is why she survives, and why everything that was Adrienne’s will now belong to her. ‘I will prosper…and you will die!’ Emma boasts as she fires a bullet into Adrienne’s head.
(Present)Emma wakes from her dream in the middle of the night and sits up in her bed. Her expression of shock turns to a smile as she lies back down ‘Oh my…Adrienne…’ Emma whispers smugly.
Morning arrives over the Massachusetts Academy in Snow Valley, home to the teenage mutant heroes known as Generation X. Jubilation Lee - better known simply as “Jubilee” - walks past Angelo “Skin” Epsinosa and as she pours her cereal into a bowl asks him to pass him the milk - but as Jubilee turn to him, she sees that Skin is drinking the milk straight from the carton. ‘HEY! Other people might wanna drink that, you know!’ Jubilee exclaims. Skin ignores her and continues to swallow the milk, before letting out a loud burp. ‘All yours, babe’ Skin tells Jubilee as he passes her the milk carton. ‘Um, Angelo?’ Jubilee calls out as she tips the carton up and discovers it is empty.
‘Hey!’ Jubilee calls out as Angelo walks away from her, grinning. Jubilee throws some plasma fireworks at him, causing him to drop what he is carrying. ‘What the hell is your problem?’ Skin calls out. ‘My problem? God, you can be such a nasty person some times!’ Jubilee exclaims as she throws the empty milk carton at him. Skin spins around and extends large spikes from his form, growling at Jubilee. ‘Gross!’ Jubilee exclaims as Skin tells her that she has a smart mouth and that maybe it is time someone shut it for her. ‘Ooh, nice line, Angelo. You come up with that one all by your lonesome?’ Jubilee asks sarcastically.
Sean “Banshee” Cassidy enters the kitchen and tells the kids that whatever they are up to, to knock it odd, as he is not in the mood right now. ‘Is there coffee made?’ he snaps. Jubilee and Skin stop fighting and look at the mentor, clearly not himself. ‘Morning, Sean’ Angelo remarks, before Jubilee informs him that Emma made coffee earlier. ‘Right’ Sean mumbles as he picks up the coffee pot. Jubilee and Skin just look at each other, puzzled, and watch as Sean adds some alcohol to his coffee, before walking out of the room, ignoring them. ‘Did you smell that?’ Jubilee asks. ‘Smell what? The beer stink, or the three-day B.O.?’ Angelo replies, before pointing out that Sean has been down ever since Moira died, only he looks really bad now. Jubilee replies that she knows people mourn in different ways, but that drinking non-stop just isn’t healthy.
Shortly, Jubilee, Skin, Monet St Croix and Jonothan “Chamber” Starsmore have joined Paige “Husk” Guthrie, and are reading some memos which she has handed out. ‘As you can see from the brief’s I prepared, we have a problem here!’ Paige points out. ‘Trees, Paige? You want us to save trees?’ Skin asks. But Husk replies that it isn’t just trees, and explains that last month a group of young environmentalists set up camp in the forest preserve because it has long been rumored that the preserve is to lose its federally protected status and to be cleared for some oil concern or other to start drilling. Husk tells her teammates that two weeks ago, Washington lifted the ban and gave the go-ahead to drill. ‘So yeah, it is trees, but it’s the people here as well. I think their cause is a valid one, and they could use our help if and when they come under attack!’ Paige adds.
Chamber asks his ex-girlfriend if this is really worthy of their attention, to which Husk replies that it possibly is, explaining that in recent situations like this, the environmentalists tend to get knocked around quite a bit. Paige adds that the oil companies have started to bring in their own security and according to the reports, are getting pretty nasty. The glamorous Monet asks if Emma and Sean will authorize this, to which Paige replies that she hopes so, but points out she is opening this up to debate and vote now to see what they all think before troubling Sean and Emma.
Shortly, Emma, dressed in a pink mini skirt and matching jacket, and Sean, with dark glasses to cover his eyes, enter the room. ‘What have you got this time, Paige? And make it fast. I’ve got a conference call in five minutes’ Emma exclaims. Jubilee announces that Paige wants them to go help environmental protesters up north as some oil company is going to clear the forest and start drilling. Husk begins to tell the White Queen that she discovered in similar situations like this - before Emma interrupts: ‘You want me to authorize and fund a mission to go hug trees with hippies up north?’ she asks, not impressed. ‘Jeez. Trees’ Sean mumbles as he lurches from the room.
‘But, Emma -’ Paige begins to protest, but Emma interrupts once again, exclaiming that she is not at all convinced this is a valid mission, before revealing that, more to the point, the oil company in question is one that she has invested heavily in. ‘Letting you interfere with their drilling plans would be shooting myself in the foot financially. I stand to make a lot of money off this new project of theirs’. Emma declares. ‘You gotta be kidding me, Emma. What about the -’ Paige replies, before Emma interrupts yet again, telling Paige that this is how she pays for thing, with investments just like this. ‘You think about that the next time you hand in one of your “purchase orders”!’ she tells Husk, before turning to the whole team and telling them that the mission is not approved, before excusing herself and leaving the room.
Monet remarks that was not entirely unexpected, to which Jubilee asks Paige if she really expected this mission to be green-lighted. ‘I…I don’t know. Well, yes, I guess I did. I don’t know what to say!’ a taken-aback Paige tells her friends. ‘Better luck next time, then. It’s not the end of the world’ Chamber remarks as he and the others leave. Husk looks to her monitor and wonders why she is the only one who thinks this is worthwhile.
Meanwhile, in her office, Emma sits at her desk, while Sean sits in a chair across from her, remarking that he doesn’t know, and that he has been no use to anyone around here recently. ‘So that’s your solution?’ Emma asks him, telling him that it seems like the coward’s way out, and not like him at all. ‘Yeah, well…’ Sean mutters in reply, before Monet barges into the room, calling out to Emma, she sees Banshee and remarks that she didn’t know she was busy. Banshee doesn’t look at Monet, while Emma tells her that it is okay, before telepathically remarking ‘Something’s the matter. What is it?’. Monet telepathically informs Emma that there is a man in the waiting room for her, and she thinks he is a cop or a detective.
Emma asks Monet if the man said what he wanted, while Sean frowns, knowing that they are speaking to each other with the telepathy, he mutters ‘Christ, you two…’ before taking a swig from his flask. Monet informs Emma that the cop is here to investigate the disappearance of Adrienne Frost. ‘Oh, hello…’ Emma mumbles, before asking Sean if they can talk later on. ‘Yeah, yeah’ Sean mutters as he gets up to leave, on the way telling Monet that she has picked up a nasty habit there: ‘Talking in front of people like that. It’s rude, not to mention a wee bit unethical’. Monet pouts as she replies ‘Rude? Rude like drinking like a fish and treating the rest of us horribly? Is that what you mean, Mister Cassidy?’. Sean looks nervous, before continuing out of the room.
Monet watches Sean leave, before asking Emma what this is all about with Adrienne. ‘Nothing. She won’t be bothering us any more. It’s taken care of’ Emma replies. ‘Yeah, that’s what you keep saying, but you won’t tell us how. Or why. And now there are cops coming by asking about her’ Monet replies. Emma frowns and tells Monet to keep out of this. ‘I’ll take care of it!’ she snaps as she storms out of her office.
Moments later, Emma arrives in the waiting room and introduces herself to the man, before asking if she can help him. The man shakes Emma’s hand before introducing himself as Detective Jensen, and explains that he wanted to ask her a couple of questions about her sister, Adrienne. ‘Oh?’ Emma asks, pretending to be surprised. The Detective informs Emma that they have not located Adrienne yet, so the missing persons report she filed is still open, but that they do have some information she might be interested in hearing. The Detective reveals that, according to Adrienne’s recent financial activity, she, or someone with her bank account codes, has been withdrawing rather large amounts of currency.
Monet stands silently in the doorway, out of Emma’s line of view as the Detective remarks ‘Now, I thought that maybe you, since you’re her sister, might have an idea -’ he doesn’t get to finish his sentence though, as Emma waves a hand in front of his face and snaps ‘Oh shut up. I don’t have time for this!’. The Detective then falls face-forward into the glass coffee table, cracking it. ‘Pathetic’ Emma declares as she stands up, while Monet looks on in horror. Emma suddenly sees her powerful student though, and frowns very distastefully at her. Monet gasps, before running away.
Monet quickly arrives in the Generation X living area, and exclaims ‘Oh, thank God you are all here! You won’t believe what just -’ she begins, but Jubilee tells her to shut up, as Iron Chef is on. ‘Yeah, it’s the one with the mussels’ Jono remarks. ‘Yum, mussels’ Jubilee smiles, before Angelo asks the others if they remember that cook that had last year who would make the dish with the noodles, when Monet stands in front of the television, telling everyone to hush and listen to her. Everyone goes silent, enabling Monet to inform them that a cop just stopped by to see Emma. ‘A cop?’ Skin asks. Monet explains that the cop was asking about Adrienne and something about money, when Emma suddenly mind wiped him.
Monet tells her teammates that she thinks Emma really hurt him, and that she has never seen her do that before. ‘He just sort of collapsed!’ she exclaims. Skin tells Monet to come off it, and asks why Emma would do that. ‘And why would the cops be asking Emma about Adrienne’s money?’ Paige wonders. Monet reveals that she has her suspicions, and remarks that she wonders whether Emma told them the whole truth about what went down between her and Adrienne. Skin replies that he thinks Monet is being a little paranoid. Monet replies that she doesn’t know what to think anymore, and tells her teammates that from the way it looked, Emma may have killed the detective. ‘And the look on Emma’s face when she noticed me watching scared the Hell out of me!’ Monet adds.
Later, Chamber is in his room, reading a letter, he is suddenly interrupted by Jubilee, who kicks his door open and shouts ‘Jonothan Starsmore! I hear your kung fu is most strong!’. Chamber asks Jubilee if she ever knocks, and tries to hide his letter. But the ever observant Jubilee exclaims ‘Hey! I recognize that! That letterhead is from Xavier’s!’. Chamber tells Jubilee to shut up, to which Jubilee replies ‘Relax, Jono’ and asks him what the problem is. ‘So someone at Xavier’s sent you a letter. Big deal. Logan writes me sometimes’. Jubilee sits on Chamber’s bed and asks him who the letter is from. Jono replies that it is actually from Charles Xavier himself, to which Jubilee exclaims ‘Shut up! Xavier wrote to you?’, before asking him to let her read it, and snatching it off him.
Jubilee keeps Chamber at bay as she reads the letter. ‘Wow!’ Jubilee remarks. ‘Wow. Jono. I don’t believe this!’ Jubilee exclaims before jumping up and down on Jono’s bed exclaiming ‘Hell, yeah! Jono’s gonna be an X-Man! Jono’s gonna be an X-Man! This is so cool!’. Jubilee sees Chamber turn away from her and asks him what is wrong. ‘You should be thrilled! I know I would be. What an honor!’ Jubilee exclaims. Jono closes his eyes, and Jubilee realizes something is wrong, so she asks him if he doesn’t want to go. ‘Yes, I do’ Jono replies. ‘Then what’s the problem?’ Jubilee asks.
‘You know, I did my time with the X-Men, and for the longest time I wanted to rejoin. I wanted it so bad. But now I know that even though I want other stuff now, being an X-Man is one of the coolest things ever!’. Jubilee tells Jono that if he is feeling like he isn’t ready, like he cannot handle it or something, or guilty that they picked him and not Paige or Monet, then not to. ‘Xavier’s a smart guy. He picked you for a reason. So stop being a baby and just accept already, or I’ll kick your butt, you hear?’ Jubilee exclaims. Jono looks out the corner of his eye as he tells Jubilee that he already accepted and was waiting for the right time to tell everyone. ‘WHAT?’ Jubilee asks, standing up, she makes kung-fu actions at Chamber, ‘You horrible tease!’ Jubilee exclaims as she lunges at him playfully.
Later, night has fallen across the Massachusetts Academy, the five Gen X kids are gathered together, and Jubilee exclaims ‘Isn’t that cool? Jono is off to the Mansion!’. Paige frowns, while Jubilee jokes that it looks like Jono will finally have to wear a real uniform. ‘And watch out for all the groupies, Jono. They hang out by the front gate and wait for young x-hunks like you to walk by!’ Jubilee jokes. Paige just “hmfps”. Monet realizes Paige is unhappy and tells her to relax. ‘We all knew you wanted to be an X-Man from the womb onwards. But at least try to be happy for Jonothan here’ Monet tells her. Paige replies ‘No, it’s not that, Monet’, before asking her teammates what they are even doing here. ‘We’ve been here for years, but are we any closer to graduating? Is there even a graduation?’ she asks. ‘Or are we just here propping up the status quo indefinitely?’
‘Jono found his way out, and good for him. But I can’t help but wonder how long I’ll have to wait here to get my letter from Xavier. If I ever do’ Paige exclaims. Skin folds his arms and asks if they will have to stay here and watch the freak-show that is Emma and Sean deteriorating, to which Jubilee remarks that she thought Skin was best buds with Banshee now. Skin replies that he thinks Sean is cool as Hell, but that he is turning into a drunk. ‘Makes me sick just looking at him stumbling and mumbling around downstairs’. Monet adds that Emma is ‘Seriously turning psycho’ and tells her teammates to trust her when she says that the tiny glimpses she gets into that warped skull of Emma’s is enough to make her skin crawl.
Skin remarks that he knows Moira died and everything, and that Sean has to deal with that, ‘But look at it like this: Is this the guy you want training you? How is he gonna prepare us for life when he can’t even wake up before noon?’ Angelo asks. Everyone goes silent, until Paige declares that it does seem rather hypocritical, and that if everything Monet suspects is true, then they have a sadistic, murdering psychopath and a middle-aged drunk ex-spook molding their futures. ‘No thanks’, she adds. Chamber asks his teammates what they are all going to do, and everyone looks at each other in silence, before Jubilee exclaims ‘Whatever. I’m leaving. I’m going back to LA for a while. I gotta figure out what I wanna do with my life!’
Chamber asks Jubilee if she is serious, to which Jubilee replies that all she knows is what she doesn’t want - and that is to stay here. Jubilee remarks that Angelo is right, this whole “Academy” thing has run it’s course. ‘I’ve learned all I can. Time to move on’. Husk announces that she is going to take off, too. This surprises Chamber, while Jubilee grins and exclaims ‘Right on!’. Husk reveals that she is heading up north to help the protestors. She exclaims that she doesn’t want to be an X-Man, but she still wants to help people and do what is right, adding that she feels strongly about this. ‘Very admirable, Paige. But while you are off hugging trees and getting shot at, I’ll be heading home. I’m sick of this hick town’ Monet announces. ‘Figures’ Jubilee smirks, before asking Angelo what he is going to do.
Angelo replies that he doesn’t know, and asks Jubilee if she would mind if he tagged along back to LA with her. ‘I suppose not, if you behave yourself’ Jubilee tells him, to which Skin explains that he needs to visit the hood and sort out his life, just like she does. A wide-eyed Chamber tells everyone that he cannot believe they are all just leaving like this, to which Husk replies that she thinks it is pretty cool in a way, and that they all decided at the same time, so it feels right to her. Jubilee agrees, before Skin tells everyone that they may have a problem. Monet replies that Angelo is right. ‘How do we tell Emma and Sean I’m sorry, but we don’t want you teaching us anymore? And by the way, we’re all leaving?’. Everyone looks at each other in silence, before Jubilee remarks ‘That’s a good question’.
Soon, Skin enters Sean’s office, where Sean is sitting at his desk, files and papers strewn across it, not to mention a bottle of alcohol. ‘Up rather late, aren’t ye?’ Sean asks. Angelo replies that he couldn’t sleep, and asks Sean if he has a minute. Sean tells Angelo to have a seat, barely looking at him, before asking him what is bothering him. Nervously, Angelo explains that they had a meeting and came to a decision about something. ‘Yeah? What’s that?’ Sean asks. Angelo is hesitant, so his teammates step into the office from the corridor, and Paige informs Banshee that they all want to leave.
Jubilee tells Sean not to take it personally, but that she thinks it is time they all moved on, and started their own lives. Banshee doesn’t look at them, he just hangs his head. ‘Um, Sean…?’ Skin asks. Banshee tells Generation X that, for a while now, he has felt that he was not doing them much of a service here, as a teacher, and he actually feels bad about that. ‘Sean…’ Husk begins, but Banshee tells her to let him finish. He remarks that he has had a couple of setbacks and knows he probably should be handling it better than he is, but to be honest, he cannot seem to. ‘I think we are all on the same page here. I’m planning on taking a holiday and going back to Ireland to sort myself out. So I suppose this is good timing’ Sean announces.
Smiling, Banshee gets up and walks over to his students, telling them that he wishes them all the best of luck and that he will help out in any way he can. A group hug follows as Sean tells the young heroes that they are all like his own children to him and that he wishes he could have done better by them. Moments later, Chamber asks Sean if he would mind telling Emma about this. ‘We would, but, well…she’s kinda scary recently…’
Early next morning, Monet, Jubilee, Husk, Chamber and Skin are gathered out front of he Massachusetts Academy, where a cab has pulled up. ‘I hate last minute packing’ someone remarks, while someone else points out that, according to Sean, Emma did not take the news very well, and he suggested they leave ASAP. ‘So she isn’t even going to say goodbye?’ Husk asks, looking back at the Academy. Monet remarks that she has a feeling they are better off slipping away like this than having a confrontation with Emma. Skin agrees. ‘So I guess this is it, huh?’ Jubilee asks. ‘Guess so’ Paige adds. Angelo remarks that this is pretty weird, and that it is not like he thought he would be with them forever or anything, but he never imagined himself saying goodbye to any of them.
‘Well, let me be the first then. I’ve a train to catch’ Chamber points out, before opening his arms for another group hug. Chamber picks up his duffel bag and walks towards the cab, telling everyone to take care and to come and visit him. Suddenly, a teary-eyed Husk shouts ‘Jono. Wait!’ and runs toward her former boyfriend. ‘Oh, dear Lord. There she goes’ Monet snaps as Husk wraps her arms around Chamber, telling her not to forget about her. ‘Never in a million years’ Chamber replies, hugging Husk. Paige tells Jono that this is so abrupt and that they never really talked about the two of them, never really figured out where things stand between them both. ‘And now you gotta leave’ Paige adds. Chamber gets into the cab as he informs Husk that he wrote her a letter and put it in her bag. ‘Read it when you get a quiet moment, okay? It explains a lot’ Chamber tells Husk that she means too much to him for this to be goodbye, and promises her that they will talk again soon, before his cab drives off, and Paige watches him go.
‘Awww. Come here, sweetie!’ Jubilee calls out to Paige, giving her a hug. Monet turns to Skin and tells him that she has no idea what to say to him. ‘Me either’ Angelo replies. Monet pouts, before they both burst into laughter and hug each other. ‘Take care, you little street hoodlum’ Monet tells him. ‘Hasta la vista, you stuck-up witch’ Angelo replies. Monet placs a kiss on Husk’s cheek, telling her that she is a strong person. ‘I have no doubt you will succeed in whatever it is you do with you life’ Monet adds, before placing a kiss on Jubilee’s cheek and telling her ‘I hope one day you learn how to dress properly. Only then will I consider my time here well spent’. Jubilee just pokes her tongue out. They watch as Monet walks towards a limousine which has pulled up. Carrying her suitcases, Monet shouts ‘Call me sometime, kiddies!’
‘Did she give any of us her number?’ Skin asks. ‘Nope’ Jubilee replies. ‘How totally typical of her’ Husk remarks, before asking Jubilee and Skin if they are really driving across the country together. ‘Yep’ Jubilee replies, remarking that Angelo has specific instructions not to do anything nasty of perverted, or she will dump him at the nearest truck-stop. ‘Yeah. Very funny’ Skin replies, before handing Paige a set of keys to the other car. ‘Be careful, okay?’ he tells her. ‘You bet!’ Husk replies, before the three hug, as Paige wishes them luck and tells them that she hopes they both find what they are looking for. ‘You too, Paige’ Angelo adds, before smacking his forehead and muttering ‘Oh no, not again!’ as Husk and Jubilee begin crying again.
All this while, the White Queen has been watching her now-former pupils through the shutters in her darkened office. Emma sits down at her desk and sips a glass of red wine, ignoring her mobile phone, which is sitting on her desk ringing. After a few moments, Emma picks it up: ‘Emma Frost speaking. Yes, hello. I was waiting for your call’. Emma informs her caller that they have all left and that Sean is nearly gone also. ‘Yes I do agree that we should meet and talk’ she remarks. ‘Now? Really, next week would be so much more convenient’ she tells her caller, before pausing as she listens to her caller. ‘Yes, yes, I see. That’s fine, then. Whatever you think is best’ she replies, before asking ‘The front lawn?’
Getting up from her desk, Emma looks out the window again and sees a helicopter land on the front lawn. Two men wearing black uniforms with red “X’s” on their chest jump from the chopper, and Emma tells her caller that she sees them. ‘Yes, I’m leaving now. Right. See you soon, Professor!’. Emma hangs up the phone and takes a brief glimpse around her office, and storming out the front door. She ignores the somewhat taken-aback pilots as she strides past them and gets into the chopper. A look of concern falls over her as the White Queen is flown away.
Back inside, Banshee walks through the now empty Massachusetts Academy, looking in a few rooms, he closes the main doors behind him when he leaves. ‘Well, Sean, old boy…they all grew up into fine adults. Yeh should be proud, yeh did all right in the end. Now let’s see yeh home, then’ Banshee tells himself as he walks to his jeep, the sun setting over the Massachusetts Academy….

Untitled
Central Park, New York City, where Jubilee walks across a large green field. She remembers that when she was a kid, she thought that at some point in her life she would feel like she knew what she was doing and where her life was going – like as an adult, she would finally have her crap together and things would just click. 'SHOOOOOOOGO!' Jubilee calls out, while deciding that her childhood plans to have everything sorted as an adult never happened. 'Shogo! Where are you, kid?' Jubilee calls out to her son, while thinking that she will probably never have her life sorted. Looking into some shrubs, Jubilee remarks that she think she knows why people buy their kids those cute little animal backpacks with the leashes. 'Not that I'd actually get one – 'cause that'd be awful... right, Jono?' Jubilee remarks  to Jonothan “Chamber” Starsmore, who responds 'Or practical', before asking what he knows about parenting, and telling Jubilee to relax, as Shogo couldn't have gone far.
Jono looks under a park bench, while Jubilee looks at her mismatching shoes and declares that she can't even remember to put on the same shoes, so of course she has lost her kid. 'Why am I so bad at this?' she wonders. Chamber tries to reassure Jubilee and tells her again that he is sure Shogo is around here somewhere, before suggesting to Jubilee that she give herself some credit, as it is hard enough keeping yourself alive, let alone another person. 'You've come a ways since the mall rat I first met' Chamber points out.
'Hahaha' Shogo laughs from behind a tree nearby. 'SHOGO!' Jubilee exclaims as she rushes over to her son and picks him up. 'There you are! Holy cats you had me worried -' Jubilee begins, while Shogo suddenly grabs Chamber's scarf, pulling it away from his face, causing a psionic energy flare. Shogo laughs.
Civilians are standing nearby and watch, while Jubilee tells Shogo that he can't just expose Chamber like that. 'Phrasing, luv. Phrasing' Chamber tells Jubilee as he adjusts his scarf, adding that it is nice to know his personal tragedy may be someone else's comedy. As Shogo pulls on his mother's face, Jubilee declares that she is late, and thanks Jono, telling him that she owes him one. 'You really don't' Chamber replies. Holding Shogo, Jubilee rushes across Central Park and thinks that Jono is right – a lot has happened since they were just students – even if it seems like it hasn't.
Shortly, Jubilee arrives at the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach. She enters the main foyer, where Broo is acting as a tour guide to some civilians, informing them that the Institute was destroyed in 2008, then rebuilt and renamed the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters, before it was relocated here to Central Park and rechristened the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, while acting as an embassy as well as a school. 'All for the purpose of building stronger ties between humans – and the next generation of mutants' Broo adds, while a young man with silverish hair rolls a suitcase behind him and walks away from the tour group. 'Here's to hoping it's changed for the better' Jubilee thinks  to himself.
The young man with the silverish hair walks past a water fountain, where Rockslide, Genesis and Glob Herman are lined up. 'I just couldn't anymore with the contact lenses' Glob explains, adjusting his glasses. Anole is clinging to the ceiling, while Pixie and Sprite fly overhead, and Ernst walks nearby with Martha floating above her. The young man with the silverish hair looks at Glob, who announces that he kept losing track of the contact lenses when they were on his finger. 'Like, completely' he adds, when suddenly the young slams into Phoebe of the Stepford Cuckoos. 'Watch where you're -' Phoebe begins as her hand touches the young man's arm. The young man's eyes glow as he sees visions flash before him – of blonde girls inside capsules, five of them all identical standing in a row, and Emma Frost carrying the lifeless body? Keep up' Phoebe replies, before telling him that in case he missed it, her name is Phoebe Cuckoo. Her eyes glow red and she then states 'You're welcome'.
'For...?' the young man with the silverish hair asks. 'Calling in the cavalry' Phoebe replies. 'And by “cavalry” I mean “sad nerd”. Nathaniel Carver, meet – Benjamin Deeds. Your classmate' Phoebe announces, addressing the young man with silverish hair, as Benjamin “Morph” Deeds approaches them, running a hand through his hair.
Meanwhile, Jubilee smiles as she enters the office of Headmistress Kitty Pryde and apologizes for being late. 'No worries, Jubes' Kitty smiles as she sits at her desk, papers sprawled out across it. Kitty declares that between budgeting, scheduling invite-only test tours, and moderating arguments between Henry and Rachel over whether or not coffee pods in the teachers' lounge will be the actual end of the world, she has lost all sense of time and space. Jubilee puts Shogo down on one of the seats in front of the desk and asks Kitty 'So you've been... well?' Kitty replies that she is not entirely sure what she was thinking taking on team leader and headmaster responsibilities, but that she thinks – hopes – she is starting to get the hang of things. 'And how are you feeling since... yanno...' Jubilee's voice trails off as she rifles through her bag for something. Kitty jokes that she bought some voodoo dolls, burned his photos and asked the universe to give Peter Quill the world's biggest kidney stone. 'I'm great' she adds, before asking Jubilee how she is.
Jubilee has found a drink bottle and hands it to Shogo, assuring Kitty that she is fine, and that Shogo has gotten really good at running away from her, but she is trying not to take that to heart. 'Jubes, is that the right bottle?' Kitty asks. Jubilee looks at the drink bottle filled with blood. '...crap' she mutters, before handing the correct drink bottle to her son. Kitty asks Jubilee if she is sure she is up for this, and tells her that with everything she going on right now, she would understand if it is too much. Jubilee grins and assures Kitty that she is good, just nervous. 'But I'll be a good mentor, I swear. And I'm really excited to show – teach these kids what it takes to be one of the X-Men. It'll be great!' Kitty looks a bit concerned as she begins 'Uh... about that...' Jubilee looks worried.
Back in the foyer, Nathaniel walks alongside Benjamin and asks him if everyone is as intense as that girl back there. 'Who? Phoebe? No' Benjamin replies, before adding that she is probably the most intense Cuckoo sister, pointing out that they were cloned from Emma Frost, so, hard to say. Suddenly, Benjamin's hair becomes silverish, like Nathaniel's and he takes on his facial features, too. 'What the...' Nathaniel exclaims. Benjamin apologizes and explains that he morphs into other people. He adds that he usually has it under control, but that the school uniform is killing him and his focus. Nathaniel smiles and tells Benjamin that it must come in handy when he is touching up photos for dating apps. 'I... hadn't considered that' Benjamin replies as he returns to his true appearance. 'Seriously?' Nathaniel asks.
Suddenly, Nathaniel looks shocked as the wall next to him is blown open as Roxy “Bling” Washington is thrown through it. 'Huh. Guess you really are as durable as advertised, Bling!' Quentin Quire a.k.a Kid Omega calls out. 'Quentin Quire, you -'  the unimpressed Bling snaps, fist clenched. '- magnificent S.O.B? I know' Quentin replies as he walks from the classroom next door, through the gaping hole in the wall towards Bling, adding that he was before Bling scuffed up his bespoke Berlutis, remarking that he had to wait six months to get them. 'I told you it was an accident!' Bling replies. 'Six months, Roxy. Six. Months' Quentin exclaims, when suddenly, he falls over as a gaggle of geese fly into the hallway, honking loudly. Benjamin and Nathaniel crouch down for cover, and a voice calls out 'Holy crap, Lin Li!' to which Benjamin looks out through the classroom to the outer wall, which is also demolished, and exclaims 'Dammit'. 'What?' Nathaniel asks. 'I think Eye-Boy and Nature Girl are in there' Benjamin tells him. Nature Girl a.k.a. Lin Li is commanding the geese, while Eye-Boy a.k.a. Trevor Hawkins crouches and cover his head and tells Nature Girl that they had to supress Quentin, not kill him.
The geese start flapping about and continue to honk loudly under Nature Girl's control. Quentin puts up shields to block some of them that flap around him, and tells Bling once again that she owes him new brogues. 'I don't even know what the hell those are!' Bling retorts. 'His old-man shoes' Eye-Boy remarks, shielding himself amongst the chaos. 'Ten-thousand-dollar old-man shoes' Quentin adds. Firing shards of diamond hard pieces towards Quentin, which he also blocks, Bling shouts 'Bull! No one's stupid enough to pay that much for shoes!'
Suddenly, a light fixture hanging from above snaps and falls towards Quentin. Amongst the honking geese, Nathaniel sees this and leaps at Quentin, pushing him to safety. 'HEY! Get the #$%& off of m-' Quentin begins as he slams a fist into Nathaniel's face. Visions of Quentin at various stages in his life flash before him. 'Nosy son of a -' Quentin begins, shoving Nathaniel aside.
'Hey, Quire' Bling calls out. Quentin looks up and sees Bling standing over him, fist at the ready. 'Sorry, not sorry' Bling tells him as she slams her fist into Quentin's face, knocking him backwards into some honking geese.
Feathers fly everywhere, and as Quentin looks up he sees Kitty Pryde standing over him. Jubilee is holding Shogo and watches as Kitty, her foot phased through him, tells Quentin to get up, and then her foot really will be up his ass. 'All of this -' Jubilee begins as she looks at the destruction. 'Over a pair of stupid loafers?' Kitty asks. 'Brogues. That I've worn once' Quentin mutters. 'How's Eye-Spy the only one who knows anything about shoes?' Quentin asks. 'I told you – it was an accident, Quire' Bling reminds him again. 'So was throwing you through a wall, Roxy' Quentin replies, while Benjamin asks Trevor what he was looking at. As he stares out the window, Eye-Boy replies that it was nothing – he thought he saw something, but it was nothing.
Jubilee sees Nathaniel roll his suitcase behind him and walk towards a door. She asks him where he is going, and Nathaniel replies that he has seen enough and is out. Jubilee suggests to the students that they pick up where they left off tomorrow, and dismisses the class. Jubilee leaves the room and Kitty tells Quentin to hang back.
When the others have departed, Kitty reminds Quentin that she told him he could come back – but that it was on her terms – one being that he doesn't destroy the school. 'You can't be pissed at me – I paid for most of this' Quentin replies. 'Your donation's been spent, Quentin' Kitty explains. 'No need to beg, Ms Pryde. I'll cover the repairs' Quentin assures her, but Kitty tells him that he is going to fix it. 'What?' Quentin asks. 'You came to us this time, Quentin. If you wanna stay, prove it. Start by cleaning this up' Kitty tells him. 'Alone? The whole room? Everything's covered in goose turds!' Quentin complains. As Kitty turns and walks away from him, she tells Quentin that, for an omega-level mutant, he sure does whine a lot. 'Whatever' Quentin mutters. Leaning against a windowstill and folding his arms, he turns around, and is seen by someone watching the school through red-tinted lenses.
Nathaniel is walking out of the school grounds, dragging his suitcase behind him when Jubilee calls out to him, asking him to wait. 'I swear not every day is going to be like -' Jubilee begins, to which Nathaniel tells her that if he wanted to deal with getting punched and watching people shove their feet up other people's asses, he could have stayed in Texas. Jubilee catches up to Nathaniel and tells him that she knows Kitty phasing her foot through Quentin was hardcore, but that she never would have actually gone solid on him – or in him. 'She was just trying to make a point' Jubilee explains. 'So am I. I don't belong here' Nathaniel responds. Nearby, Benjamin, Trevor, Lin and Roxy are standing together and Benjamin wonders what is going on with Jubilee and Nathaniel. Trevor asks if that is really any of their business. Lin doesn't say anything. She has a squirrel sitting on her head. 'New kid's leaving. Obviously' Roxy snaps.
Jubilee realizes she may have no clue about what she is doing or saying, but she has heard this before. She looks over and sees Chamber talking to Graymalkin and Shark Girl and realizes that Chamber would probably disagree, but she is not the only one who has changed around here – because he once said “Nobody wants to be alone. Not even we monsters” - and he isn't. Not anymore, anyway.
Jubilee turns her attention back to Nathaniel and tells him that she gets it, this place is a little – a lot – crazy. 'But aren't you tired of hiding?' she asks. She explains that the whole reason she came to the Institute was because she never belonged out there. 'And I'm guessing the same goes for you' Jubilee points out. Nathaniel hangs his head as Jubilee asks 'Right?'
'All I'm saying is the guy never even unpacked' Bling tells the others. Benjamin points out that he didn't even have time to stop by his room, while Eye-Boy looks out amongst a group of civilians who are gathered nearby. 'Guys...' Eye-Boy calls out, quietly. 'Didn't have time, or didn't want to?' Bling shouts. A group of men move away from the other civilians and start to remove their jackets, revealing black shirts with a white stripe down the front. 'Look, just give us a fair chance before you -' Jubilee begins, when suddenly, 'JUBILEE! LOOK OUT! The tour group!' Eye-Boy shouts. 'What's up with the geriatric boy band?' Nathaniel asks as the group of men approach them. 'Oh, no' Jubilee utters. 'Purifiers!' Jubilee exclaims, as the Purifiers raise theire weapons and aim them towards the mutants, with one of them boasting that they will purge the Earth of the mutant plague!'

Untitled
The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, Central Park, New York City: Quentin Quire a.k.a. Kid Omega is in one of the classrooms that he recently demolished, and is using his powers to make repairs, telekinetically lifting many bricks and inserting them back into the busted walls he knocked down. Quentin decides that anyone and everyone who says “life is short” is an idiot, as time is a construct measured by perception, and if you haven't figured that out, it means time only seems to move quickly because you think very slow. Quentin thinks that it is probably best those people think life is short. 'Because when you're a billionaire genius with god-like powers, you know that life's not only excruciatingly long and boring – it's also overflowing with idiots'. Quentin thinks to himself as he stands and admires one of the repaired walls – with several gaps left in it that spell out “You suck”. 'Wall patched. Who says I'm not a team player?' Quentin remarks, before thinking that they always seem to want something from him, but lucky for them, he has nothing better to do than fix their #$%&. 'Voila. One trashed classroom un-trashed' Quentin announces, taking a bow.
'This way!' a voice calls out. Quentin looks over and sees Broo leading a civilian tour group through the Institute. 'Yo, sleazy' Quentin calls out. Broo informs the tour group that the library is straight ahead and up the stairs. 'BROO!' Quentin shouts. The alien turns to Quentin and claims that he didn't see him. 'I hadn't even realized you'd returned. How unexpected' Broo adds. 'And I thought you'd be dead by now. Too bad' Quentin replies, before asking Broo what is going on. Broo informs him that the school appears to be under siege by Purifiers. 'Sweet' Quentin grins.
Outside on the front lawn of the school, Chamber, Shark Girl and Graymalkin rush towards the Purifiers, who have opened fire. 'Mind your six' Chamber tells Shark Girl. Nearby, Kitty Pryde sees Trance and Gentle, and instructs them to round up the humans and get them to safety inside the library, and then come find her so she can start lockdown protocols. Jubilee is holding her son, Shogo, while Eye-Boy, Nature Girl, Bling, Benjamin Deeds and new arrival Nathaniel Carver stand near her. Eye-Boy quickly raises a leg as a stray bullet lands near him. 'Library. Get to the library. And stay there' Kitty instructs Jubilee. Kitty rushes into the battle, and Jubilee calls out after her, asking her if she doesn't want them to back up Chamber. 'Library, Jubes' Kitty calls back. 'You know what to do' Kitty adds. Roxy “Bling” Washington turns to Jubilee and asks her if they are seriously supposed to hide in the library while Purifiers destroy their school. 'We're not hiding, Roxy. We're protecting humans from -' Jubilee begins, while Roxy stands with her hands on her hips, looking very unimpressed.
'About damn time something interesting happened!' Quentin Quire calls out as he hovers over the group. He grins and asks them if they were all waiting on him. 'You shouldn't have' he adds, before flying towards the battle and joking that he doesn't need the dead weight. The others watch him while Jubilee calls out to him, telling him to stop and come back. 'Quentin!' Jubilee shouts. Roxy offers to go and get him, but as Jubilee hands her son, Shogo, to Eye-Boy a.k.a. Trevor Hawkins, she tells Bling that she will get to the library and protect it. 'Got it?' she asks. '...yes' Roxy mutters.
Quentin throws up telekinetic shields as the Purifiers open fire on him. He sees Graymalkin down below and calls out to him: 'Sup, Jonas? Still need a tan, I see'. 'You're back?' Graymalkin asks. 'Miss me?' Quentin asks. 'Not particularly' Graymalkin replies as he slams a fist into one of the Purifiers, he tells Quentin that he has always found him to be more troublesome than helpful. 'You're too good to me, Jonas. Never change' Quentin responds.
'How's this for helpful?' Quentin asks as he telepathically calls out to the Purifiers and asks them why they are hitting themselves. The Purifiers all drop their weapons, then, under Quentin's psychic command, start to punch each other. 'You really put some self-hate into that one, huh?' Quentin smiles as the Purifiers start to draw blood with their punches. Graymalkin goes wide-eyed, while Shark Girl utters 'Holy -' when suddenly, Jubilee and Chamber rush over 'Quentin! They're people, not toys! STOP IT!' Jubilee  shouts angrily.
The Purifiers stop hitting each other, and look confused, while Quentin puts a hand to his forehead and tells Jubilee that she sees her point. 'Stop hitting yourselves – and just shoot each other already' Quentin exclaims, telepathically instructing the Purifiers, while putting two fingers to his temple, imitating a gun. The Purifiers do as they are commanded, while Jubilee, Chamber, Graymalkin and Shark Girl look on, horrified.
'Whoa. I did not see that coming' Eye-Boy remarks as he holds Shogo in the library and looks out one of the windows at the battle. Bling, Benjamin and Nathaniel are with him as some doves fly past the window. Suddenly, 'Hey – hey! I'm talking to you!' an aggressive voice calls out. The mutants turn to see a blond man calling out to Nature Girl a.k.a. Lin Li who is tending to some plants in the library. She pays no attention to the aggressive man. 'Look, you freak. You can't just keep us locked up in here. We've got rights' he exclaims. 'We aren't animals like you' the man adds. An older, skinny man wearing an orange shirt steps in front of the aggressive blond man and says 'Sir... don't be mad...' but the blond man shoves him backwards. 'Do I look like I'm talking to you, janitor?' he asks.
'Hey! Was that necessary?' Benjamin Deeds asks as he and Bling walk towards the aggressive man, and the janitor is caught by Nathaniel before he can fall onto the ground. As their skin touches, there is a spark. '...whoa' Nathaniel utters as he and the janitor look at each other. 'Do that again and -' Bling begins. 'And you'll what?' the aggressive man asks her. 'Protect the crap out of you. Sir' Bling announces, large spikes suddenly popping up across her shoulders as she leans into the man, who turns and walks back to the other civilians in the group. 'Andre – uh, it's Andre, right?' Nathaniel asks the janitor. 'Uh-huh' Andre replies. Nathaniel asks him if he is all right, and Andre tells him that he is, thanking him. 'What the hell was that?' Nathaniel asks, turning to Benjamin and Bling. 'Same $%#&, different day. You get used to it' Benjamin replies. 'No, you won't. And you shouldn't' Bling snaps.
Suddenly, one of the Purifiers kicks open the door to the library and raises a weapon. The civilians scream and run around in a panic. 'Fear not, fellow humans. For I have arrived to liberate you from the mutant menace!' the Purifier exclaims. Nature Girl is holding some potted plants and looks at him, while Eye-Boy continues to hold Shogo, Bling clenches her fists, ready for a fight. 'No...no one actually talks like that...' Nathaniel begins.
Back outside, Jubilee leaps at one of the Purifiers, knocking him to the ground, before slamming his head into one of the other Purifiers. Quentin claps and tells Jubilee 'Nice combo', when suddenly, Graymalkin slaps him. 'It's like I said – you're more troublesome than helpful' Quentin falls backwards, and rubs his face. 'I know you were a farm boy – but you desperately need to get into the hand moisturizing game' he tells Graymalkin. 'Whatever, it was just a few Purifiers' Quentin calls out, but Jubilee tells him that doesn't make it okay. Graymalkin ties the captured Purifiers up, while Jubilee points out that Quentin played with them like literal meat puppets. 'And not one mutnt got hurt. So, you're welcome' Quentin tells her. 'It's not how we do things -' Jubilee tries to tell Quentin, but he interrupts her, 'I know. It wasn't tedious or inefficient' he remarks. 'Lee' a telepathic voice calls out to Jubilee, who turns to Chamber: 'What?' she asks him. Chamber asks if there were 14 or 15 of them, because if it was 15, then they are missing a Purifier. 'Dammit' the wide-eyed Jubilee exclaims, while Quentin frowns.
Back in the library, the humans run screaming out the door, while Bling throws herself over Eye-Boy and Shogo, her indestructible form taking the brunt of one of the blasts, while another blast sends some books into the air above Nathaniel and Benjamin, and a third strikes one of Nature Girl's plants. Suddenly, another blast strikes Nathaniel's suitcase, blasting it open, sending some collectible cards into the air. 'Sonofa – that deck took me years to build!' Nathaniel exclaims, before Benjamin pulls him behind a bookcase. 'Can't you do something?' he asks Benjamin. 'Like what?' Morph my face into one he still wants to kill?' Benjamin asks. Nature Girl rushes past them with a skunk at her side. 'Whadda...' Nathaniel begins, covering his nose. Benjamin turns his nose up, too, as Nature Girl uses her power to command the skunk to release its defensive (offensive) smelling spray at the Purifier, who screams.
But the Purifier gathers himself and fires a net from another weapon. 'Damned heathen spawn!' he exclaims. The skunk hisses as it leaps onto his leg, while Nature Girl falls as the net latches around her, and releases some sort of energy. Bling calls out to her, while the Purifier tosses the skunk across the room, and Nature Girl screams. The Purifier fires one of the nets at Bling, and although she falls backwards, she grabs the net, preventing it from trapping her. The Purifier stands over her and puts his gun to her face. 'Question: Are those milky eyes of yours as impervious as the rest of you? I'm willing to bet that they're not...' he declares.
Before the Purifier can open fire, another sort of fire sweeps through the room, a psionic energy flare thanks to Chamber, which strikes the Purifier and knocks him over. 'Oh, yeah!' Jubilee exclaims as she rushes into the room and knees the Purifier in the face. 'Let's see how you like it – in your eye!' she shouts at him as she slams a fist into his face and knocks him out cold.
Shortly, Jubilee stands in front of the “You suck” wall as Nature Girl, Nathaniel, Benjamin, Eye-Boy, Quentin and Bling stand before her. Shogo is strapped to her back as she tells the young mutants that they are all different, and she doesn't mean that they have got different abilities. 'Some blink lasers, some freeze stuff, some beat people up with the weather... others chat with squirrels or have an eyeball on their tongue...' Jubilee begins. 'I don't think I like where this is going' Bling mutters. Jubilee continues, admitting that it probably wasn't the best idea to just throw every young mutant up against the Sentinels, or Magneto, and most definitely not Apocalypse. 'Point is, we're trying something new. We've split everyone into groups and we're teaching each group accordingly: Combat training, ambassador training, and real-world practical application training. Which is what you guys will get' Jubilee informs the young mutants.
While Andre brings a ladder into the room and starts some janitorial work, Benjamin asks Jubilee 'What does that mean, exactly?' Quentin explains 'There's no room for you on the X-Men, so at some point they're gonna kick you out. Back into the “real world” where humans hate and fear you. And you'll be luck to survive every day life'. Quentin turns to Jubilee and, referring to the other mutants, tells her that he knows why this “gaggle of suck” is here, but why him? 'Gee. I dunno, Quentin. Why do you think?' Jubilee asks, looking up to the ceiling, where Quentin put the desk and other furniture that was previously on the floor. Jubilee points at Quentin and tells him that it is like every time they think he is ready to join the X-Men, he can't help but self-sabotage, and no one wants to deal with that. She suggests he figure out his crap and pull it together, as it is getting old.
'What Quentin said about us never being X-Men – is that true?' Bling asks. Jubilee tells her that nothing is set in stone yet, and that if she wants it that badly, they will find a way to make it happen. 'And what if we don't want to be X-Men? What if we just wanna learn how to “survive” like you said?' Nathaniel asks. 'That's fine, too, Nathaniel. But wait – does this mean you're staying?' Jubilee replies. Nathaniel looks up at Andre, as Jubilee asks him what changed his mind. Quentin walks over to the window, while Nathaniel explains that he wants to get a handle on his powers.
'That's fantastic. Listen, I'll do anything and everything I can – to help you guys get whatever it is you need out of your time here. I promise' Jubilee assures them, while Quentin stares out the window and thinks that he should have known better than to come back here, as it has always been a waste of his time and talents.
Benjamin walks over to Quentin. 'Hey' he calls out. 'What do you want?' Quentin snaps. Benjamin smiles and tells Quentin that he thought he could use some company, as life is kind of short to spend it staring out a window alone. 'Then again... let's see what we can do to fix that' Quentin decides as he grins and tells Benjamin that he is an idiot. Benjamin looks shocked while Quentin walks away from him.
