Untitled
Dawn at the Summers Institute, where in the agricultural department, some chicken feed is thrown into the chicken run, where three chickens begin pecking away at the food, before looking up at the strange mutant called Glob, whose real name is Robert Herman, sitting on a bench nearby. He tells the chickens to hold on, and that there is plenty of food to go around. 'Oh. How sad!' a voice mocks. 'Don't you have any real friends?' the pale young mutant called Manon asks as she and her twin brother Maxime stand behind Glob, who looks over at Manon and tells her to leave him alone. 'What are their names? Les poulets... the chickens' Maxime asks. Glob informs him that the brown one is Logan, the white one is Hope and the barred one is Scott. 'Are you serious? You named them after dead X-Men?' Manon asks as she sits next to Glob. 'And those are hens, you fils de taupe. Why would you give two of them boy names?' Maxime asks, to which Glob tells him that it is none of his business. 'Do you call them the X-Hens?' Maxime jokes, before Glob asks them if they aren't supposed to be, like, anywhere else.
'Maybe... but I find you interesting. In, like, a weird way' Manon replies as she touches Glob's face, remarking that she can see his skull, but she can't see into his mind. 'I can see into everyone's mind' she mutters, wondering why she can't see into his.
'I -' Glob begins, before a voice shouts 'Manon!' Manon and Maxime look up to see Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armo, who wears a blue and black costume like they do, standing nearby. Armor tells the young mutants that they have better things to be doing with their time, and they need to run along before she reports the two of them to the dean, Angel. 'This sucks' Manon mutters in her native French. 'She's such a buzzkill' Maxime adds, also speaking in French.
Glob thanks Armor, who tells him that it is no problem, and adds that those kids are always acting like such pests, suggesting that they are going to have a lot of problems if they don't straighten themselves out by fifth year. Armor then tells Glob that they should hurry or they will be late for breakfast. 'Right!' Glob agrees, before telling Armor that he will just get Scott, Logan and Hope back into their coop. He starts ushering the chickens into the coop, but the one called Logan starts pecking Glob's hand. 'No! Stop pecking my hand and get into your coop!' Glob mutters, closing the hatch when all three chickens are inside.
Soon, inside the cafeteria, Santo Vacarro a.k.a. Rockslide, Megan Gywnn a.k.a. Pixie, Victor Borkowski and Iara dos Santos a.k.a. Shark Girl are seated at a table. Armor and Glob join them, as Gentle walks past their table, and Blinb can be seen among other students sitting at a table nearby. A news reporter appears on the televisions that are placed around the canteen, stating that there has been another fire in the downtown and that Department X has determined the cause to be accidental, and a full rebuild is already underway. Pixie, who wears a blue uniform like Armor, tells her friends that they are late. Armor apologizes and informs her that Glob was feeding his chickens. 'He loves those chickens' Iara, who wears a green costume, remarks. Anole, wearing a red costume, complains that those chickens are so gross. Glob sits next to Iara who notices a book under his arm and asks him if he was working on his fan fiction. 'What? Shark Girl...I don't want people to read -' Glob begins to reply. 'Fan fiction?' Anole asks. 'Yeah. It's like... the Resolution. The X-Men's last battle. But not really' Shark Girl explains, adding that they are all there, all of them, they are X-Men in his story.
'Oh yeah? So we're all big heroes? Are we famous?' Anole asks. Shark Girl explains that the way Glob wrote it, they weren't really important X-Men, and he got hurt in battle and was just in a hospital bed for most of the story she read. 'Are you kidding me? Why don't I get to be a hero?' Anole asks, which causes Pixie to laugh. 'Hey, at least you were in the story. I was barely in it' Shark Girl reveals, which causes Pixie to laugh again. 'What about me?' Rockslide, who wears a brown and black costume, asks. Shark Girl smiles as she tells him that he got beat up by someone named Forearm. 'He's a dude with four arms' she explains. 'Sounds too corny. I gotta read this!' Pixie declares as she snatches the book from Glob. 'Hey, no! Pixie, don't! Give it back!' Glob protests, adding that Iara shouldn't have told them, that this was private. The cover of the book reads “Property of Glob Herman. Do not read”. Suddenly, 'Enough...leave poor Glob alone' Armor mutters as she snatches the book from Pixie and hands it back to Glob, who thanks her. Armor frowns at Pixie, and Rockslide points out that they have to get to class, before asking them if they are all down for tonight's study session. 'I... uh...' Anole begins, as he and Bling pass each other. Bling stares back at him, before Anole reports that he can't make it tonight, but that they should go on without him. 'Your loss' Rockslide replies. Pixie tells the others that she will see them at six. 'Later' Armor mutters.
The bell rings as students take their seats in a lecture theater, this is the tenth year class who are in the history department. Madison Jeffries is the instructor and he stands at the front of the room. Photographs line the wall behind him – Rogue, Gambit, Cyclops, Professor X, Hope, Wolverine and Cable. 'Come now, my little chickadees. Let us begin today's lesson' Jeffries calls out. He begins writing on the blackboard and informs them that today they are going to be talking about an incident that he is sure all of them are already well aware of – Hope Summers and the sacrifice she made so that they could all live – how she died so that they could all have powers and live on in peace. Jeffries tells the class that although this is well-trod territory, he thinks it is important that they periodically look back at their history, that they examine their roots. He has written “The Resolution” on the blackboard tells the class, of which Rockslide is among them, that to understand who they are now, 'It is imperative that we look at early...'
'... signs and symptoms' Dr Ceceilia Reyes remarks in the medical theater where the tenth year class are seated in a circular fashion around an operating table, which Dr Reyes stands over with Anole. Dr Reyes tells the class that by listening to their patients and carefully monitoring them from their hatch day, looking for anomalies and irregularities, using the skills that they have been taught in their training as nurses, doctors and surgeons, they can detect problems early. Anole makes an incision into the body lying on the table, and pulls a small object from the body as Dr Reyes remarks 'Once detected, we're able to remove the ailment... striking it before it can...'
'... take hold and spread its rot to the rest of the plants' Paige Guthrie a.k.a. Husk tells her students outside in the agricultural division. This is the tenth year class, of which, Glob, Shark Girl, Gentle and Match are students. Paige tells her students that their community depends on their produce and livestock, so it falls to them to nurture it. Her class are attentive as Paige continues, 'To weed out these problems...'
'... before they come a larger issue' Shiro Yoshida a.k.a. Sunfire tells his tenth year civil management class. Pixie and Armor are both in this class, and look at the front of the room as Sunfire tells them that is why he knows many of them are excited to finally have the opportunity to embark on their mentorship with Department H officers. 'You have worked hard. You have earned it' he adds, before announcing that here to tell them what to expect in the next step of their journey is Department X clerk, Psylocke. Betsy Braddock smiles at the class as she enters the room, which is met by the entire class snapping their fingers in adoration. Betsy thanks the students and tells them that they are far too kind – and nervous, she is sure. Pixie and Armor smile as Psylocke assures them that they have no reason to be.
Psylocke reminds the students that as they have all learned by now, Department X is focused on maintaining community relations and standards, that their motto is “A clean neighborhood is a safe neighborhood”. She adds that it might not seem terribly exciting, but that cleanliness leads to order, that it is an important part of what they do. She informs the students that they will be paired with officers to carry out what they call “block watches”, that they will be out in force to keep their neighborhood clean and to lend a hand when needed – which could be anything from helping some of their older citizens with their groceries, to fixing fences. She tells the students that in those very rare instances where they might find themselves facing a far more serious obstacle, such as a violent act, then they are to stand back and maintain the scene while Department X handles the situation. Psylocke concludes by telling the students that looking out at them she can see herself as a student once again, she sees those who will keep them from falling back into the chaos that was once all too common. 'I see the future of our world'.
Later: 'Sorry we're late' Pixie remarks as she and Armor arrive at the Hope Summers Memorial Library in Westchester, New York. 'Someone was drooling all over the Department X speaker at our school' Pixie smiles. 'What? No. I just had some questions, that's all' Armor exclaims. 'An hour’s worth of questions. I thought she was going to talk Clerk Braddock's ears clear off her head' Pixie jokes. 'That's so cool' Shark Girl remarks, adding that she wishes she got to be in civil management rather than boring old agriculture. Pixie looks at Shark Girl and asks her if she is insinuating that Angel was wrong in placing her into the agricultural stream? 'What? No. No no no. I just think it's cool, that's all' Shark Girl replies. Glob tells them that they should really get studying, because if he fails another test, they will probably make him a janitor or lunch monitor. The students enter the library and Shark Girl tells Glob that she doesn't know how he can spend ten years in a classroom and not remember anything. 'I -' Glob starts to reply, hanging his head, before Rockslide suddenly alerts them to a fire down the road.
'We have to go help!' Pixie calls out. 'But -' Glob begins to protest. 'Not you three. Us' Armor declares as she and Pixie rush off down the street. 'This is what we've been waiting for' Armor remarks, adding that everyone else needs to keep back where it is safe. Glob tells Shark Girl and Rockslide that it is just the three of them studying then. 'Are you crazy? I wanna see the fire!' Shark Girl exclaims as she throws her books into the air and starts to head down the street with Rockslide. Glob just hangs his head.
Pixie and Armor arrive at the house fire, and Armor tells some civilians that they are civil management students and that they are here to help. She instructs them to move to the other side of the street where it is safe. From around the back of the house, a voice shouts' Help! Someone... anyone!' Armor and Pixie hear the cries and race to the back of the house, 'We're coming!' 'Please help me!' someone on the ground exclaims, 'Is that Bling?' Pixie gasps as they see the young mutant held to the ground by the Blob, one of the Department X clerks. 'Your fascist organization can't suppress the truth, Blob!' Bling exclaims. Blob just tells her to be quiet. 'We're going to wake the people up! We'll open their eyes to the lies!' Bling shouts. Blob remarks that he hates seeing a good kid like Bling flushing her life away like this. He points out that this is the second time she has made them mindwipe her. 'You know what happens if you get a third?' he asks.
Armor and Pixie appear confused, 'We're... ah... we're civil management students. We're here to help' Armor eventually informs the Blob, who sighs and tells them that they can't be back here. He instructs them to go back up front and make sure that they keep the crowds away – and to make sure no one else comes back here. Pixie heads back to the front of the house, but Armor tells her that they can't just leave. 'What he's doing isn't right. We need to -' Armor begins, but Pixie reminds Armor that they are not real Department X – not just yet – Blob is, so they have to do what he says. 'I'll meet you up front' she calls back. Suddenly, there is a rustle, and Armor turns around as Anole falls from the shadows, 'Anole?' Armor calls out, surprised. 'Please...you never saw me. You can't let them get me. Not again' the terrified Anole utters as he moves towards a large bush, informing Armor that she needs to listen to Bling, that this is all a lie – 'We're being lied to' he utters, before vanishing in the bushes.
Out the front of the blazing house, Glob has joined Shark Girl, Rockslide and several civilians. Glob holds a hand out as embers fall around him – one of them lands on his skin and burns him. He watches, wide-eyed. 'Oh wow! Look! It's -' Shark Girl begins, pointing up to the sky, '- the X-Men!' she concludes as Jean Grey, Magneto, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, X-23 and Nature Girl arrive. Storm instructs everyone to move back from the fire, while Jean assures everyone that they have the situation under control. Armor asists, by telling people to move back. 'Let's give the X-Men the room they need to do their work' Pixie calls out. Shark Girl tells Rockslide that this is so cool and asks him if he thinks she can get Nightcrawler's autograph. Rockslide replies that he has never seen them this close before. 'Isn't this amazing, Glob?' Shark Girl asks, but gets no response. She and Rockslide look around as rain begins to fall over them and the burning house, but Glob has vanished. 'Where'd he go?' Shark Girl wonders.
Later, there is a knock on the door to Glob's dorm, and Armor bursts in. 'Hisako?' Glob asks, surprised. 'We need to talk' Armor announces. 'Uh...' Glob begins. Armor tells him to close the door, but Glob tells her that they can't. 'If people found us in here together, they'd -' he begins. Armor is clearly conflicted, and tells Glob that she knows, but she needs someone to talk to. 'Something's...I saw something and I need to talk to someone about it. Please' Hisako utters. She sits on a chair opposite Glob, who sits on his bed, as Armor informs him that when they were earlier at the fire, she saw Department X, and they were arresting students – Bling was there, and she overheard clerk Blob say that he was going to mindwipe her, and the way Blob pushed them out of there, like he didn't want them to see what was happening. 'The threats he made...and Anole was there. He was... he was running from them. He looked so scared' Armor reveals, hanging her head.
Armor tells Glob that she was supposed to, and thinks she should, tell Department X, told an officer that Anole was running from the burning house, but he looked so scared that she couldn't. 'Not again' Glob utters as he places his hand over a candle flame. 'I don't know what's happening and I'm -' Armor begins. 'I...I have to stop it' Glob remarks. 'Glob? What do you mean “Not again”? That's what Anole said. What do you know?' Armor asks. 'No more lies. You deserve to know' Glob remarks. 'What are you -?' Armor begins, as Glob's hand is engulfed by the flame, he tells Hisako that he is sorry, that this is the only way. He lunges at her, flaming hand ready to grab her as he tells her that this is the only way he can show her the truth!

Untitled
The Summers Institute for Higher Learning, where Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor, in the dorm room of Glob Herman, gasps as she suddenly finds herself in a strange substance akin to Glob's body matter. 'What the hell? What happened to me? Why am I covered in... what is this?' Armor asks. Glob apologizes and tells Armor that he didn't know how much wax to use, several candles melted down on a table next to him.
The next morning, Victor Borkowski yawns as he sits up in bed and turns his alarm clock off. He looks over to a table in his dorm room and sees a vial with a colorful substance placed next to a piece of paper. Anole looks confused, and goes over to the table, where he picks up the paper – it is a note that reads “Open me and breathe deeply” and is signed by himself. He frowns as he looks at the vial, then opens it and sniffs, the strange, colorful substance billowing around him as it flows from the vial.
'What the hell did you do, Glob?' Armor asks, punching Glob in the head over and over, while Glob asks her to let him explain. 'You've got thirty seconds, then I'm going to Dean Angel to lodge a complaint. You'll be out of this school by the end of the day' Armor warns Glob, who cowers, and holds his hands up to his face, as he tells Armor that she can't do that, that she doesn't understand. Wide-eyed, Glob informs Armor that everything, this whole world, it is not real – but he isn't sure how to explain in. He adds that they have been here a few months, but everyone thinks they have been here for years – and that people keep going missing, and everyone forgets them. He admits that he thought he was going crazy, but he knows he isn't, and this is really happening.
'Bull' Armor replies. 'It's true' Glob tells her, adding that people break the rules and then they are hauled off to prison and everyone forgets. 'Bull' Armor repeats herself. Armor leans down over Glob, frowning, she declares that, firstly, there are no prisons here, and secondly, she thinks he  is getting too wrapped up in the fictions he has been writing. She suggests to him that it is time for him to go to Dr Reyes and let her examine his head. 'No! It's not fiction!' Glob replies as he opens a desk drawer, and pulls out a book. He holds it towards Armor and tells her that it is everything he can remember from before – before they all came here – before all of this. He explains that he is writing it all down so that there is a record of it. He adds that he told Shark Girl it was fan fiction, because he doesn't want them knowing. 'Them who?' Armor asks. 'THEM!' Glob shouts. 'The people who make people disappear!' he explains, grabbing Armor, who pushes him away, telling him to get his hands off her, she drops the book and turns to leave his dorm room, informing him that she is not buying into his conspiracy theories. 'Please don't tell -' Glob calls out, but Armor interrupts him, telling him that she isn't sure what she is going to do, and she needs some time to think.
Later, in the canteen, Anole is sitting with Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie, Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide and Iara Dos Santos a.k.a. Shark Girl when Armor walks up to them. 'Dang, Hisako. Your hair!' Shark Girl exclaims upon seeing Armor's short, cropped hair. 'What did you do?' Pixie asks. As she sits down next to Pixie, Armor replies that she doesn't know, she just thought it was time for a change, and is no big deal. 'I like it!' Rockslide tells her, as a reporter can be seen on a television hanging from the wall nearby, announcing that the X-Men arrived and eventually extinguished the fire. The reporter informs viewers that Department X confirmed the house was empty at the time of the fire, and, thankfully, no one was hurt. 'What?' Armor exclaims. 'I said I liked your haircut. I think it looks good' Rockslide responds. 'Oh...right. Thanks, Rockslide' Armor replies, while concentrating on the news report. She then asks if anyone has seen Bling. Shark Girl motions to Bling, who is sitting at a table nearby. Armor thanks her, and gets up, informing her friends that she will be right back.
Armor goes over to Roxanne Washington a.k.a. Bling and asks her if she has a second. 'I'm eating' Bling replies, looking at Armor, who tells her that it is important. 'So's breakfast' Bling points out, telling Armor that it is the most important meal of the day. 'It's about last night' Armor begins, ignoring Bling, who asks 'What about it?' 'I wanted to ask you about what happened. You were talking about “exposing the truth”' Armor reminds her. 'I don't know what you're talking about' Bling frowns, to which Armor utters 'When I saw you...you know...at the fire' to which Bling asks 'Last night?' and tells Armor that she is confused, s she was with  her friends last night, they were studying at the library. 'I saw -' Armor begins, to which someone tells her that she couldn't have. 'We were there all night' another student at the table asserts. 'Yep. All of us' another confirms. 'Ask the librarian if you don't believe us' one of them suggests.
Back at the table where Armor's friends are sitting, Shark Girl asks the others if they know what Armor is talking about. 'No idea' Pixie replies, while Anole leans towards Rockslide and asks him if, in his history class, they have studied the Life Seed. Rockslide confirms that they have and explains that it is what Hope Summers used to give everyone their mutant abilities during the Resolution. 'But what happened to it after that?' Anole asks. 'After?' Rockslide replies. 'Why is there no record of it after the Resolution?' Anole queries. Rockslide admits that he isn't sure, but supposes there must be one, and offers to look into it, and tells Anole that he wil get back to him with the answer. 'Sure, you do that. If you can find the answer' Anole replies as he gets up and walks away. Armor returns to her friends and asks where Anole went. 'Dunno. Class maybe?' Rockslide suggests, to which Pixie suggests they should get going, otherwise they are all going to be late. Armor tells the others that she will catch them up in a bit, but she has something to do first.
Meanwhile, Glob is outside in the agricultural department, watching over the chickens called Logan, Scott and Hope. 'I think I screwed up, guys' Glob tells the chickens, adding that he really thought it would work, he thought Armor would see. 'I'm so dumb' he laments, before dropping some more chicken feed on the ground, he decides that he has to learn to keep his stupid mouth shut or else he is going to himself in a world of trouble. 'Glob... move over' a voice calls out. Glob looks up and sees the short-haired Armor standing over him. Armor sits down next to him, neither of them says anything, Glob just watches the chickens, until Armor finally turns to him and asks him to tell her everything – but first, she wants him to explain the eax. 'I'm sorry, I -' Glob begins, to which Armor raises a finger and tells Glob to just explain it. Glob tells Armor that everyone here seems to get their minds erased, like someone or something messes with their heads, and makes them think that they have always been here, but it also makes them forget people – only it doesn't seem to work on him. He supposes that must be because his bio-wax is blocking it somehow. 'I thought if I covered you with it -' Glob begins.
'I can figure out the rest' Armor replies, realizing that would explain why she is remembering things differently than what she is seeing on the news. 'Had to cut my hair off to get it out, though. I'll never forgive you for that' Armor mutters, before telling Glob that Bling thought she was crazy when she asked her about last night. She wonders what did happen last night, and what Anole is wrapped up in. Glob explains that Anole keeps falling in with a group of...radicals, he supposes they would be called. 'Keeps?' Armor asks. Glob reports that Anole has already been arrested twice, and both times he was mindwiped – he thinks they made him forget, but he keeps getting drawn back, like he is predisposed to act that way. Glob then informs Armor that from what he can tell, Department X only gives you two chances – and the third time, they make you disappear, he has seen it happen to a couple of other students – they just vanish one day and no one remembers them. 'Anole's my friend. I can't let that happen' Glob utters, while Armor reaches out for the chickens.
Meanwhile, in the Summers Institute Library, students are going about their business, studying and reading in silence, while Rockslide searches through a large filing index. He sighs and slams is head against the cabinet when he comes up with nothing. He goes over to a book called 'The Resolution” and flips through, it shutting it loudly and muttering 'Nothing'. Rockslide heads over to a desk where Sally Blevins a.k.a. Skids is sorting through a trolley of books. He calls out to her and informs her that he has been looking for, or trying to find information on the Life Seed. 'There's plenty about it right up until the Resolution. But after that...nothing' Rockslide tells Sally, who replies by telling him that there must be something, and asks if he checked the card catalog. Rockslide assures her that he triple-checked it and also read through every book about the Resolution – twice. 'There's nothing' he states again. Sally agrees that that is curious, so picks up a clipboard and starts writing on it, assuring Rockslide that she will put in a request with their circulations department, see if she can't scrounge up something for him. 'What was your name again?' Sally enquires as she writes on the clipboard “Student asking about missing Life Seed information. Seems distraught. Report to Dean Angel?”
In the medical theater where the tenth-year class is about to take lessons, Beak, Quill and Trance can be seen among the students as Dr Cecilia Reyes takes the roll call. 'Hope Abbott?' she asks. 'Here!' Trance responds. 'Victor Borkowski?' Dr Reyes asks, but gets no response. 'Has anyone seen anole?' In the tenth-year civil management class, Shiro Yoshida turns to Pixie and asks her why Armor did not see fit to come to class today. Megan looks at Sunfire and tells him that she doesn't know, and isn't sure where she is. Shiro instructs Megan that when she finds her, Hisako is to come directly to his office – as this sort of behavior will not be tolerated. Outside, the tenth-year agricultural class is underway, Paige Guthrie looks around at her students and turns to Shark Girl, remarking that Glob didn't come to class today, and asking whether she should be concerned. Iara remembers that he didn't come to breakfast either, and agrees that is weird, before asking Paige if she should go check on him. Paige tells Iara to keep doing her studies and she will send someone to check on him, as Glob is behind all the other students as it is, he cannot afford to miss classes.
That night, Anole sneaks out of his dorm room, and crawls down the side of the dorm building, he pulls his collar up around him as he walks down a deserted street, down another, until he comes to a house. He walks up a staircase, and enters a door, 'Bless, Scripture' he calls out, addressing a woman with white, blank eyes, who wears a purple costume with a mask over her mouth and nose, and her hair pulled into a side braid. 'Bless, Anole' Scripture replies as she writes strange messages on the wall: “We are not meant to be alone”, “Mutantkind was meant to be together”, “Community not conflict”. Scripture tells Anole to breathe deep and receive the words and wisdom of En Sabah Nur. Another strange dust flows into Anole's nose, as Scripture tells him that the others are waiting for him in the front room.
'In En Sabah Nur we trust' Anole utters as he enters the front room, where he finds three other mutants sitting in a circle around some candles. 'For he is the way' Maggott calls back. 'Welcome back, Brother Borkowski' a blue-skinned woman smiles. 'Thank you, Sister Tromette' Anole tells Transonic, while Batch looks up at him. Maggott and Anole hug, and Maggott utters 'After what happened last night... when those fascists burned down our place of worship...for they know that is the only way to scrub it of Scripture's truth. To try to silence the words of En Sabah Nur'. Maggott smiles at Anole and tells him that after what they did, he prayed he would see Anole again, and that he is happy his prayers have been answered and they did not mind wipe him again. 'No, Brother Japeth. I got away. Luckily I still had a vial of Unveil left. It helped me remember. Connected me back to all of you' Anole replies.
'Ah, yes.  That reminds me. My supplier of Unveil seems to have vanished. Another victim of Department X, no doubt' Maggott announces as Transonic holds up a small box with a few vials in it. Maggott informs Anole that these are the last vials they will likely see for a long while. He hands one of them to Anole and tells him to keep it safe.
Back in the Summers Institute dorms, Armor and Glob walk down a corridor together, past several other students, as Armor asks Glob if he is sure that Anole is already in with the radicals. 'I mean... probably? He's already done it twice before' Glob reminds Armor, who knocks on Anole's door. 'Anole?' Glob calls out, but they got no response. 'Screw this, we're going in' Armor mutters as she forces Anole's door open and steps into the darkened room. 'We can't just break into Anole's room!' Glob exclaims. Armor ignores that comment and suggests that if Anole is in trouble, he might have left behind some sort of clue as to where he went. 'Oh no' Glob utters. 'What?' Armor asks him. Glob looks at the empty bottle of Unveil and tells Armor that if Anole has taken it, and remembered, then he has gone back to his group.
Anole stands around a table with Transonic, Match and Maggott, who announces that this is it – this is how they make a show, how they expose the truth – the Hope Summers Memorial Library. They all look down at blueprints of the library as Maggott remarks that this is the heart of their propaganda machine, the nexus of their lies. Maggott reports that there is an empty room on the fifth floor, never used and never checked, and it is in that room where they will change history – where they will free the people. 'How? What are you going to do in that room?' Anole asks as he follows Maggott to a curtain, where Maggott tells him that they are going to do what the X-Tracts and other followers of En Sabah Nur haven't had the courage to do – so caught up with their teachings of peace  and love. 'We're going to end the facade...we're going to blow up their library of falsehoods and cease the spread of misinformation and lies' Maggott reveals as he draws back the curtain, revealing a large bomb. Anole goes wide-eyed and frowns as Maggott adds 'We're going to become martyrs for the truth'.

Untitled
The Summers Institute for Higher Learning, inside the cafeteria, where six young mutants sit around a table, eating their food, reading and talking, while Iara Dos Santos a.k.a. Shark Girl looks up at the television above them, which is about to start playing the trailer for the new Nightcrawler film. Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie sits next to Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor and tells her that she doesn't know what has gotten into her. 'Guys! Guys!' Iara exclaims. 'First the hair, and now you're skipping classes...' Megan points out while Hisako plays with the food on the tray in front of her. 'It's the new Kurt Wagner movie!' Iara calls out, while Megan warns Hisako that My Yoshida is going to fail her if she keeps this up. “Mission Mutation III: Firebird” the television can be heard quietly saying, as the trailer for the movie begins. 'You think they'll turn up the TV?' Iara asks. Glob Herman stares down at his food, while Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide is engrossed in a book. Victor Borkowski a.k.a. Anole kneels on his chair, and quietly calls out to Santo, asking him if there is anything about what happened to the Life Seed in that book.
Santo looks over at Victor and tells him that there is nothing yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be. 'There won't be' Victor mutters, to which Santo tells Victor that he will never find out if he doesn't stop breathing down his neck. 'I need to focus' Santo adds. 'Okay, okay. I can take a hint' Victor replies, holding his hands up, he then tells Santo that he has to get going anyway. Santo quietly tells Victor that he will let him know if he finds anything. Victor then leaves the table, as Iara asks her friends if they are not seeing this – it's the trailer for the “Mission Mutation III” Firebird” film. 'I heard it's, like, the best one yet' Iara tells the others, adding that she isn't sure about, because “Mission Mutation II: The Krakoa Incident” is gonna be pretty hard to beat. 'Glob, Glob! Are you watching?!' Iara asks. 'I can see it, Iara' Glob mutters, looking up at the teleevision.
Hisako gets to her feet and tells Glob that they need to go. 'Right' Glob responds, as he follows Hisako and they go place their food trays over with other dirty trays, while Megan calls out to them, asking them where they are going. 'You barely ate anything and we have to be in class in ten minutes!' she exclaims. Hisako glances back at Megan and frowns as she tells her that she isn't hungry, and that she will be at class, but she needs to take care of something first. 'Mr Yoshida is going to be -' Megan begins. 'I'll be there!' Hisako snaps, before she and Glob exit the cafeteria, and Hisako calls out to Anole, asking him to wait. Anole frowns, but turns around and smiles as he faces Hisako, 'Uh... Hisako, Glob. What's up?' he asks, while Manon and Maxime watch them from nearby.
'We need to talk' Hisako tells Anole as she backs him up against a wall of lockers. 'Okay?' Anole replies, before Hisako asks him what happened the other night – the fire, he and Bling and Department X. 'I...uh...I really don't know what you're talking about' Anole replies, but Hisako tells him not to try and play them like fools. 'If we know, then who knows how many others do' Hisako points out, while Glob tells Victor that he could be in a lot of trouble. 'Shouldn't you kids be on your way to class?' a voice calls out. The young mutants look up to see Angel, the Dean of the Summers Institute standing over them. Victor tells Dean Angel that he is right, and apologizes, assuring him that they are on their way. 'Yeah, we...we we're on our way' Glob adds. 'Hope to it then' Angel frowns, folding his arms. Angel watches as the young mutants walk down the corridor, with Hisako warning Anole that this isn't done.
Shortly, outside Madison Jeffries' office, Manon waits on a seat, while inside, Rockslide sits facing Madison Jeffries, who sits behind a desk and listens as Rockslide informs him that he has looked through everything – twice – and there is no mention of what happened to the Life Seed after the Resolution. 'I mean... even if it had been destroyed, you'd think it would say, right?' Rockslide suggests. Jeffries tells Rockslide that perhaps he needs to keep looking. 'But you must know.  You must have an idea of what happened to the Life Seed' Rockslide replies. Madison frowns and puts his hands to his chin as he asks what sort of teacher he would be if he just gave his students all the answers. There is a knock at the door, and a young woman with blonde hair enter Jeffries' office. Jeffries looks up at her, 'Ah, Ms Blevins. What can I do for you?' he asks Skids, who pushes a trolley into his office and informs him that the books he sent out to be re-bound are back, and she wanted to let him know before she reshelved them.
Skids watches as Jeffries removes a book from the trolley and remarks 'Well, look at that' and hands the book to Rockslide, telling him that he suspects he will find what he is looking for in here. Jeffries then thanks Skids and tells her that she can leave these books with him for now. 'Happy to be of service' Skids replies as she leaves Jeffries' office. Rockslide looks at the book that he holds in his hands and appears confused as he announces that he checked all the library cards, all the records, that there was nothing about this book on file. 'You probably just missed it' Jeffries suggests, adding that it happens to the best of them. 'But I triple-checked. I -' Rockslide begins as he stares at the book called “Quest for the Life Seed”. 'Santo...' Jeffries begins, sitting on the edge of his desk, he informs Santo that he gets a lot of students who come in here questioning the texts, which is all part and parcel of coming into your own and questioning the world around you. He adds that it is good to question things, to poke and prod and look for answers, but that Santo shouldn't become so focused on one thing that he finds reasons to ignore the answers that are right in front of him. 'Don't intentionally misinterpret texts in order to satisfy a preconceived agenda. Okay?' Jeffries asks. Santo hangs his head, 'Okay' he responds.
In Sunfire's Civil Management class, the room is darkened as Sunfire shows his students several slides. Hisako has her hands on her ears as she looks up at the slides, and Sunfire informs his students that there is an epidemic sweeping their world, and that as the next generation of Department X officers, it is up to them to be extra vigilant and keep an eye out for it. The first slide projected onto the wall is of the drug known as Unveil, and Sunfire reports that recently, Department X seized a large shipment destined for the streets, some of it possibly headed here, to the Summers Institute. Sunfire admits that it is unknown how much of the Unveil was distributed beforeb the guilty parties were caught. Pixie watches Hisako as Sunfire tells the class that some people take Unveil because they believe it will make them feel better – they think it will open their minds, but instead, they find themselves addicted, desperate and ready to do anything to get another dose. He reveals that many will take too much and die.
Sunfire shows another slide, this time of a female student before and after taking Unveil. He tells the students that this is why it is important to find Unveil and get it off the sgtreets and get those who may be using it the help they need. He informs the students that in order to find Unveil and rid it from their campus, it is first important to recognize the signs of a user. Pixie watches Armor even closer now, as Sunfire reports that, first and foremost, they will start to notice behavioral changes in an Unveil addict, and while being moody is just part of being a teenager, Unveil users tend to have incredible mood swings not normal of teenagers. He tells the students to look for changes in appearance and changes in personality. 'Does your normally chipper friend suddenly become irritated easily?' Sunfire asks. 'Are they bowing out of social engagements? Do they ignore you? Seem secretive? Elusive?'
Pixie frowns as Sunfire reports that Unveil addicts will generally lose their appetite, seem distracted and unfocused – they will typically become angry if you confront them directly. Sunfire tells his class that if they suspect someone of being addicted to Unveil, not to confront them, instead report them to him or Dean Angel and let them help free their classmate from this terrible addiction.
Outside, Anole walks towards a community notice board, he takes a pen out of his satchel and writes on a note that is stuck to the board, checking over his shoulders to make sure no one is watching him. He finishes writing on the note, and glances around before he skulks off away from the notice board.
Over in the Agricultural Department, Glob is feeding the chickens called Logan, Scott and Hope. 'Hey, man. Scooch over a bit' Rockslide asks as he sits down next to Glob on the bench in the middle of the garden, announcing that he needs to talk to somebody. Glob suggests to Rockslide that he can talk to Scott, Logan and Hope. 'I find it helps me sometimes' he adds. 'What? No... no... you... I wanted to talk to you' Rockslide replies, before asking Glob if he really talks to the chickens. 'Umm... I... maybe?' Glob responds. 'Do they talk back?' Rockslide asks. Glob tells him that they don't, but sometimes it is just good to get out what is eating you up and feel like someone is listening – even if it just a bunch of chickens.
Rockslide hangs his head, 'Yeah, okay. I can see it. That's...yeah' he remarks, before telling Glob that he just needs to get this out, say it out loud. He looks at his hands and admits that it might be nothing, that he might just be being paranoid, like Professor Jeffries said, but that he was trying to find out what happened to the Life Seed, after the Resolution – after Hope Summers gave her life so that they could survive. 'She used it, but all reference to it after that, well...there is none' Rockslide informs Glob. 'Or was none, I guess' he adds. The chickens peck around Glob and Rockslide's feet, and Glob listens as Rockslide continues, informing him that he checked everywhere over and over and over again – and there is nothing. Rockslide reveals that the moment he mentions this to Professore Jeffries, all of a sudden a book appears – a book he could swear did not exist before he asked – and it answers his query by stating cleanly that the Life Seed was destroyed during the Resolution.
Rockslide wonders if maybe because he is in the middle of it, or maybe he doesn't want to admit that he was wrong – but it feels too convenient, like he found a hole in their history and they are trying to patch it up, trying to supress any questions. Suddenly, Rockslide tells Glob to forget annything he said, as now that he has said it out loud, he realizes how crazy it sounds and how dangerous it is to think this way. He thanks Glob for listening, and starts to stand up to leave. 'Wait' Glob calls out, grabbing Rockslide by his wrist. Rockslide sits back down and Glob tells him that he isn't wrong, 'This world isn't real. Everyone thinks it is. But...it's not' Glob utters. 'Whoa, hey. That's not what I was saying' Rockslide quickly replies. 'Just thought  that it felt like they're hiding something' he explains. 'That is what they're hiding' Glob declares, assuring Santo that this whole world is a lie – a lie  that no one sees.
Glob continues, informing Santo that every time there is a small crack, some sort of imperfection, they spackle over it and make people forget it ever happened. He tosses some more chicken feed down at the chickens, as Santo asks 'Who does?' 'Them' Glob replies. Santo asks him 'Who is “them”?' to which Glob raises his arms and admits that he hasn't figured that out, but that whoever they are, Department X works for them, and perhaps the X-Men, too. Rockslide tells Glob that that is crazy, that it doesn't make any sense, but Glob assures him that it is true. He looks down at the chickens and states that the seed wasn't destroyed, that Hope didn't die, and they weren't hatched from test tubes. 'Where we came from, we were X-Men' he announces. Rockslide gets to his feet and tells Glob that he knows he is messing with him now. Glob asks Santo to wait, and claims that he can prove it to him. 'Come with me' he asks.
Meanwhile, 'Armor, I'm your friend. I care about you. If you're on... drugs... you would tell me, right?' Pixie utters as she follows Armor, who turns around: 'What? No! How...we learn about drugs in class and now all of a sudden I'm on them?' she snaps. 'Are you kidding me?' Pixie replies, pointing out that Armor has been acting clean off – that she shaved her head, is missing class, and that it is like she isn't even there anymore. 'The lights are on, but no ones home' Pixie points out. Armor looks up and sees Anole walking nearby as she tells Pixie that she has just got a lot on her mind with what they saw the others night. 'And...just...other stuff' she adds, before telling Pixie that she is going to be okay, but that she has to go, and assures her she will explain it all to her later.
'No! You don't get off that easily!' Pixie calls out. 'You're constantly sneaking off. I want to know what's going on! Prove to me you're not on Unveil!' Pixie declares, grabbing Armor by her arm. Armor yanks herself away from Pixie and asks 'You sure I'm the one you should be worried about? You're acting pretty crazy yourself, Megan' Armor scowls, before storming away and telling Pixie that they will talk later.
'You're not wrong, Pixie' the strange girl called Manon remarks as she and her brother, Maxime, appear behind her. 'What do you want?' Pixie frowns. Manon tells Pixie that they have noticed too – Armor is acting weird. 'Real weird' Maxime adds. Manon reports that she saw things in Armor's head that scare her. 'She's going to do something bad' Maxime reveals. 'You can't just let her walk away. You need to stop her' Manon urges Pixie.
'Victor!' Armor calls out to Anole as she follows him down a dorm corridor. 'Crap!' Anole utters as he turns and sees Armor, who begins to run after him. Anole pushes past another stuent, while Armor mutters 'That little turd'. Anole darts into his dorm room, and attempts to close the door – but Armor places her hand between the door and the frame and uses her exo-skeleton to force it back open. 'You broke me door! The wide-eyed Anole exclaims. 'I'm trying to save you, you idiot!' Armor frowns. 'What? By breaking my door?' Anole asks. Armor dissolves her exo-skeleton and closes the door behind her as she informs Anole that she saw him at the fire the other night, running from Department X. 'I know that you're mixed up in something bad' Armor adds.
But Anole tells Armor that he isn't, and that he doesn't know what she is talking about. 'Don't. Don't lie to me. If I know it, then other people probably do too' Armor exclaims through gritted teeth as she grabs Anole's face. Anole looks to the floor as Armor tlels him that Glob says this isn't the first time he has done something like this, either. 'That if you get caught again. That... they'll make you disappear' Armor frowns. Anole hangs his head, then suddenly looks at Armor and asks her how she remembers, and how Glob remembers. 'Are you taking Unveil? Are you part of the resistance?' he asks.
Armor sits down on the bed beside Anole and asks why everyone thinks she is on drugs, before explaining that Glob can just remember, and that he thinks his bio-wax is protecting him from the mind wipes. She tells Anole that that is not important, and that she needs him to listen: 'If you keep going down this path...doing what you're doing...they're going to make you disappear. As your friends, we can't let that happen. Let us help you' Armor remarks, putting a hand on Anole's shoulder, when suddenly, 'What's going on in here?' a voice shouts. Armor and Anole look up to the door to see Pixie standing in the doorway. 'Are you two...are you two romantically involved? You're 'grades!' she gasps, referring to “retrogrades”, she declares that she knew something was up. Armor asks Pixie what she is doing here. Pixie rushes over and stands between them both, she tells them that she is trying to stop them before they go too far down this path.
Pixie glances over to a desk, and sees an empty bottle of Unveil. 'Oh, this just keeps getting better and better' she mutters, before pushing Anole against the window and telling him that she is placing him under arrest. 'Ow! No. You're making a mistake!' Anole replies, while Armor stands up and tells Pixie that she can't do this, that there is more going on here than she knows. 'I'm not daft. I can see what's happening. Anole's been dealing Unveil!' Pixie exclaims, before assuming that Armor has been buying it from him. 'We have to report him and get you help' Pixie declares. Armor hangs her head and tells Pixie that she is so sorry, and that she hopes one day she can forgive her, as she summons her armored form, and slams a fist into Pixie, knocking her to the ground.
'I can't believe you just -' Anole begins, shocked, looking down at Pixie. Armor returns to her normal state and tells Anole to go, to get out of here before Pixie wakes up. Anole quickly writes something on a piece of paper and hands it to Armor, telling her that these people can help, that they know what is really going on. As he starts to climb out the window, he explains that they are going to be suspicious, but they have to be to survive. 'Let them know I sent you, and give them that piece of paper' he adds. 'Okay, fine. Now go!' Armor replies as Anole climbs down the side of the dorm building. 'In En Sabah Nur we trust... for he is the way' Anole utters.
Elsewhere on the Summers Institute grounds, Dean Angel looks over and sees several students gathered around a community noticeboard. 'I'm sure you all have somewhere else to be' he remarks. 'Yes, Dean Angel' a girl replies. 'Sorry, Dean Angel' another utters as they move away from the noticeboard, which has been painted over with the message “You are being LIED to” in large red letters. Dean Angel scowls and pulls one of the signs down off the board, before turning and looking around, while a security camera watches him....

Untitled
Glob's dorm room at the Summers Institute for Higher Learning, where Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide asks Robert “Glob” Herman if he is sure this is necessary. 'Yes. Just relax' Glob responds as holds a candle up to his form. Rockslide closes his eyes and mutters that he is not sure he is comfortable with this, when suddenly, 'Glob! Anole's on the -' Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor calls out  as she enters Glob's room, stopping herslelf mid-sentence as she sees Glob standing over Rockslide and heating his waxy form, melting some of it onto Rockslide. 'This isn't what it looks like, Hisako. Glob and I were just... ah... we were just...' Rockslide trails off, before begging Hisako not to tell Dean Angel. 'Really, Glob? Rockslide too?' Hisako asks. Glob tells her that the more people who know the truth the better. Armor folds her arms and remarks that they will talk about it later. 'Wait...Armor knows?' Glob asks as some of the wax spreads across his head.
'You don't know anything yet, Rockslide. Not like Armor does' Glob replies, while telling Rockslide that next time they try to mindwipe him, he should be able to remember. 'I think. I don't know if my wax on your head is enough, or if you need it all over your body, or maybe if -' Glob begins, before Armor interrupts him and declares that she tried to get Anole to talk, but Pixie came in and saw that he had a vial of Unveil in his room and freaked out and tried to arrest him, so he ran off. Rockslide asks the others if someone wants to fill him in and tell him what is going on. Armor informs him that Unveil is like a drug that a bunch of people who follow En Sabah Nur use, and it connects them to him. Armor assumes that Pixie has already told Department X and that they are on their way. She reveals that Anole gave her an address, and she thinks they can find him there – but they need to go now.
At that moment, 'Mr Yoshida! Dean Ange! I'm sorry to interrupt!' Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie exclaims as she bursts into an office where Sunfire and Angel are reviewing security footage of Anole. Sunfire begins to tell Pixie that she can't come bursting oin here, but Angel tells him that it is fine and asks Pixie what they can do for her. 'It's Anole!' Pixie exclaims. Sunfire remarks that they were just talking about him. 'You were?' Pixie asks, surprised. Angel claims that it was about an academic issue, before Pixie reports that she saw an empty vial of Unveil in Anole's room. Pixie adds that Armor was there and that she is really worried about her. Pixie reminds Sunfire about everything he said about Unveil in class the other day, with the signs and the symptoms, and reports that Armor has been moody, that she cut her hair and keeps missing class. 'And I think maybe she's on Unveil, too' Pixie explains. She looks sad as she asks Sunfire to help her friend. 'We will' Sunfire responds, while Angel tells Pixie that she did the right thing in coming to them. He picks up the telephone and states that it is better that this is brought out into the light than having it fester in the halls of their school.
Armor, Rockslide and Glob, wearing a cap on his head, leave Glob's dorm room and make their way down a corridor, as Rockslide tells the others that if he is going to come with them, they have got to tell him what is going on. 'Anole's in trouble. Again' Glob responds. Rockslide is confused by this, and points out that Anole is a straight-a student, and that he is never in trouble. 'That's what I was telling you about, Santo. This place...somehow they make you forget. They, like, mindwipe you' he explains as Armor leads them out of the dorm building. Glob informs Santo that Anole has been through this before, and if he gets caught again, that will be his third strike. 'And after a third offense people tend to...they tend to disappear'. Out on school grounds, the trio walk down a path and Armor reports that she has seen it, too. People forgetting, like they have been reprogrammed. 'I don't know how to explain it, but -' Armor begins, before a voice calls out 'Hey, guys!' The trio freeze as Iara Dos Santos a.k.a. Shark Girl comes up behind them, puts her arms around Rockslide and Armor and tells them that she was coming to find them, as she is headed to the cafeteria. She begins to ask them if they want to join her, to which Armor tells her they are sorry, but have somewhere to be right now, a bit of an emergency. 'We'll see you for breakfast' she calls back to Shark Girl as they leave her behind.
At an undisclosed location, Maggott's safehouse sits in the cover of darkness as Victor Borkowski a.k.a. Anole climbs a staircase and looks around nervously before entering the house. 'Brother Borkowski' Maggott calls out as he stands near a table. 'In En Sabah Nur we trust' Anole responds. 'For he is the way' Maggott adds. 'Maggott...Brother Japheth... we have a problem' Anole announces as he pulls back his hood.
A few moments later, Anole and Maggott sit in a circle with Transonic, Match and Scripture, a few candles lighting the room as Anole reveals that he has beenn exposed. He explains that Armor, a friend, said she wanted to help him and claimed to know the truth about what is really happening. 'And what does she believe is really happening?' Maggott enquires. Anole reports that Armor knows about Bling, and about the X-Tracts. 'Then she knows we're not officially associated with the X-Tracts, only that we both follow the words of En Sabah Nur' Maggott responds, adding that the X-Tracts would never do anything like what they are planning, as they are too caught up in love and peace and all that crap that will never lead to change. Anole tells him that he doesn't think it makes a difference to Department X, and remarks that Armor said that Glob can remember everything somehow, and he has helped her remember. Anole remarks that he thinks they can trust Armor, and that he wanted to talk to her more, but Pixie burst in and tried to arrest him. Anole adds that he is worried about who else knows about them.
'And so you came here? What if you were followed?' Transonic asks. Anole assures her that no one followed him – he made sure of it, and thather came here to warn them. The others listen as  Anole declares that if they are going to go through with the plan, they need to do it tonight – before they find them and prevent them from following through. Maggott frowns and pauses, before replying 'Very well'.

'And you have no idea where they went?' someone asks Pixie as she stannds in the doorway to Anole's dorm room. Sunfire and Dean Angel stand next to her, while Department X operatives Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke and Fred Dukes a.k.a. Blob search the room. Pixie reports that she has no idea, as Armor walloped her pretty good, and when she came to, the room was empty, which is when she went straight to Professor Yoshida and Dean Angel. 'And I called Department X directly' Angel adds, before informing Psylocke and the Blob that he also has footage of Anole defacing school property. He adds that Anole has always been a good student, so he is not sure what has gotten into him lately. The Blob explains that Unveil seems to be making its way into the hands of good children and changing them in ways they cannot predict. 'The important thing is that we find him and make sure he's okay' Blob states. Psylocke turns to Pixie and asks her if she can show her Armor's room, as there might be something in there that will give them some indication of how to help her friend. 'Sure' Pixie replies as Psylocke puts her hand on Pixie's shoulder.
Betsy tells the Blob to finish up in here, and adds that she will report if she finds anything. 'Sure thing' Blob replies as he looks through some drawers, while Betsy and Pixie walk into the corridor and pass the twins Manon and Maxime. Betsy tells Pixie that this is a good thing she is doing for her friend. She adds that one's teenage years can be a confusing time, especially when you're about to graduate and leave behind the comfort you have been used to since your hatch day. 'Do you think that she'll be okay?' Pixie asks Psylocke as they stop at the door to Armor's room. 'Some people just make mistakes. With support from friends like you, we can guide them back to the right path' Betsy replies. Pixie knocks on the door, 'Please answer...' she utters, but gets no response. Betsy tells Pixie that no one is inside. 'How can you -' Pixie begins, before Betsy explains that she did a quick telepathic scan, and unless Armor can mask her mind, she is not here.
Betsy opens the door to Armor's room, and finds it shrouded in darkness. Before they step into the room, Shark Girl appears behind them: 'Pixie? Are you looking for Armor? Because if you are -' she begins. 'Shark Girl!' Pixie gasps, while Betsy turns to the new arrival and asks her if she knows where Armor is. 'Is she in trouble?' Shark Girl responds. Psylocke shakes Shark Girl's hand and tells her that no one is in trouble, and claims that they are just doing a standard safety inspection, and thought they would ask Armor a couple of questions – kinda of like a pop quiz. 'Oh, yeah, okay...' Shark Girl responds, before revealing that she saw Armor, Glob and Rockslide leaving the campus about twenty minutes ago, and that she asked if they wanted to grab something to eat, but they said they had to be somewhere else. Shark Girl mentions that it looked like they were in a real hurry, too. Psylocke turns from the younger women and frowns, thanking Shark Girl as she walks away. 'Happy to help!' Shark Girl responds. Pixie follows Psylocke down the corridor, as Psylocke telepathically reports in, announcing that students Armor, Glob and Rockslide have left the campus. She adds that they have to assume they are all working together – and that they are working with Anole.
At the safehose, Armor, Glob and Rockslide knock on the door, and Maggott answers. 'Can I help you?' he asks, peering out from behind the door. 'Where's Anole?' Armor snaps. 'I don't know who you're talking about' Maggott responds, before Rockslide pushes the door open and knocks Maggott backwards. 'DON'T LIE TO US!' Rockslide shouts, before he calls out to Anole, asking him if he is in here. 'Rockslide, this isn't the way to -' Armor begins, but Rockslide ignores her and declares that they know Anole is here. 'If you don't go get him, we'll...we'll...' Rockslide stops himself mid-sentence, as he looks at some scriptures on a nearby wall in the room that is lit by candles, and a strange smoke wafts towards them. 'What is that...?' Rockslide asks, walking over to the wall, he looks at the words scrawled before him and remarks that he can feel them calling to him. 'Allow the truths of En Sabah Nur to wash over you' Scripture utters as she goes over to Rockslide, while Armor tells Maggott that she is so sorry about that, and assures him that they are here to help him. 'Get your hands away from me' Maggott snaps as Armor reaches down to him.
Armor then holds up the piece of paper Anole gave her with this address on it, and tells Maggott that they know something is going on, and Anole told her that he would have the answers, but right now, she is more concerned with where Anole is, as Department X has to be looking for him by now. Maggott snatches the paper from Armor's hand and motions to her blue uniform, which he tells her indicates to him that she is a civil management student, and that she is wearing the colors of their enemy, yet she expects him to believe that she seeks to help brother Anole, rather than arrest him. 'The words... they're...' Rockslide utters as he continues to read the wall. Transonic and Match go over to Maggott as Match asks him if he is okay. Maggott tells Match that he is fine, but that he will be much better when these three have been escorted out. '...beautiful' Rockslide concludes, entranced with the words on the wall as Scripture stands next to him, some black smoke rising from her as she explains to him that they are the words of En Sabah Nur, that they are the truth behind the lies of this world, and this is why they burn down their homes, as the words imbue themselves upon anyone who lays eyes upon them – the only way to destroy them is to destroy the structure.
Armor grits her teeth as she tells Maggott that they are only here to help, and asks where Anole is. 'You open your mouth and all I hear are lies. Lies upon lies' Maggott responds, before Glob goes over and assures Maggott that Armor is telling the truth. He adds that he doesn't know why, but it might be because of his bio-wax exteriot, but the mindwipes and all the messing with people's heads that this place does, it doesn't work on him – he can remember everything – everything before here. Glob rubs the back of his neck as Maggott, Transonic and Match listen to him, he remarks that he knows that people are disappearing, and that Department X might be involved – he doesn't know if they are killing them or just taking them somewhere else. He knows that this world isn't real, none of it, that they all come from somewhere else. 'Lies' Maggott responds, stating that he believes they are being lied to, but that he remembers his hatch day, and the hatch day of others. 'I've always been here' he asserts.
'No. We all have parents. Real parents. None of us were grown in a lab... well, most of us weren't. Most of us were X-Men. And this man you worship... En Sabah Nur... Apocalypse is, like, a bad guy. Like the worst bad guy' Glob reveals. 'I will not stand and listen to any more of your blasphemy!' Maggott shouts as he lunges forward and knocks Glob to the ground. Armor responds by extending her force field and shoving Maggott backwards. 'How dare you! You come into a house of peace and have the nerve to speak ill of the one who seeks only to bring harmony to this world!' Transonic exclaims. 'You attacked us first, lady!' Armor snaps, while Rockslide continues to gaze at the wall. 'A little help!' Armor calls out to Rockslide when Match blasts her with a stream of fiery energy. Rockslide spins around and knocks Match backwards, 'I turn my back for a second and you guys had to go and start a fight?' he asks.
Maggott lunges at Rockslide, who asks where Anole is. 'We will not condemn one of our own!' Maggott responds, while Transonic flies up behind Armor, and Glob checks on Match, who lies motionless on the floor. 'We're trying to save him. You morons' Armor mutters as she spins around and slams a chair into Transonic, knocking her backwards. Maggott slams his knee into Rocsklide's face, forcing Rockslide to stumble backwards and fall onto a table, which collapses, and a large piece of paper lands on his face. Rockslide looks at the paper and asks Maggott why he has blueprints to the Hope Summers Library.
Elsewhere, with a cap on his head and glasses over his eyes, to obscure his appearance, Anole carries a large bag on his back as he walks down a bust street. 'Hey, watch where you're going!' someone snaps as Anole knocks into them. Anole apologizes to them and carries on, telling himself to get it together, and that he didn't come this far just to chicken out. 'This is for the good of everyone' Anole reminds himself. He walks to the front of the Hope Summers Memorial Library, and as he passes through the front door utters 'In En Sabah Nur we trust. For he is the way'.
At the same time, Psylocke is waiting in the Department X van. 'Took you long enough' she remarks as the Blob walks towards the van. He gets inside and informs Betsy that Dean Angel showed him Rockslide and Glob's rooms as well, and adds that he thought they might have left behind some sort of clue as to where they went. 'And did they?' Betsy asks. 'Maybe' Blob replies as Betsy drives off. Blob holds up a diary that he took from Glob's room, and remarks that despite the warning, he read it – and there is some stuff in here that he thinks the X-Men need to see.
Anole makes his way through the large libraby, nervously looking around, he walks up a large staircase to an upper level, and another, heading for the top floor he keeps checking around him as he goes. Anole passes all the civilians going about their business in the library and walks into some sort of storage room. He looks out of the room, back into the library, then closes the door as he utters 'In En Sabah Nur I trust. For he is the truth'.
Outside, Rockslide, Armor and Glob rush down the street, pushing past civilians as Rockslide exclaims 'They have to be wrong, right? Anole? He wouldn't do something...something dangerous like this. He's -' to which Glob cuts him off, informing Rockslide that Anole has tried before – tried and got caught and they wiped his mind, and it was fine for a bit, but then drifted back toward that X-Tracts splinter group. Armor asks Glob if he knew then why he didn't say something before – like after the first time. Glob explains that if he said anything then he would have been admitting that the mindwipes weren't working on him – and he didn't know what they would do to him, that he was scared. 'And now?' Armor asks. Glob tells her that he is still terrified, but now he has people who he can trust. They rush onwards, and Glob adds that he is hoping they can stop this before something bad happens – too late though, as several feet from the library, the young mutants stop and look up as the top of the library goes up in flames!

Untitled
The Hope Summers Memorial Library, which is currently ablaze after a bomb was set off on the top floor. Civilians run in panic from the ground floor of the library, while on the top floor, among the rubble and debris, Victor Borkowski a.k.a. Anole lies motionless on a staircase. 'There he is!' someone calls out as Hisako Ichiki a.k.a. Armor, Santo Vaccarro a.k.a. Rockslide and Robert “Glob” Herman rush towards him. 'Oh my God, Anole...what did you do?' Armor asks as she kneels beside Anole and helps him sit up. Anole coughs, and utters that he tried to get the people away. Glob tells Armor that she isn't supposed to move him, as his neck could be broken. Anole assures his friends that he is okay, before asking if anyone died. 'I don't think so' Rockslide responds, while Armor informs Anole that a lot of people are hurt, and asks him why he did this, admitting she doesn't understand. Armor tries to touch Anole's face, but he pushes her hand away, and looks to the floor. Anole gets to his feet, and explains that he wanted to end the lies – he didn't want to hurt anyone.
Suddenly: 'Freeze – do not move!' a voice shouts, and the young mutants turn to see Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman and Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, two Department X operatives, race towards them. 'That's my line, Northstar!' Iceman complains. Northstar frowns and tells Iceman that this is no time for his attempts at humor, before instructing Anole, Armor, Glob and Rockslide to place their hands behind their heads and drop to their knees – as they are under arrest! 'Crap' Armor mutters, while Rockslide asks what they do, as they can't fight Department X. 'but they'll... who knows what they'll do to Anole' Glob points out, while Armor tells her friends that it isn't just Anole, and to look at it from Department X's point of view – it looks like all four of them did this. 'I suggest you do what the flying man says. No reason to make this any more difficult than it already is' Fred Dukes a.k.a. Blob calls out as he and Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke walk towards the students. 'Just come with us' Psylocke tells the young mutants. 'Guys... on my word... RUN!' Armor exclaims as she leads her friends away from the Department X clerks.

The young mutants crash out of the side of the library and free-fall several floors towards the ground. 'We're going to die. We're going to die. We're going to die' Glob utters over and over, before Armor extends her force field around the others, 'No one's going to die!' she tells them as she hurls them through a window of a nearby building, and tells them to keep running, that she will catch up. 'Running where, though?' Rockslide asks. 'Away!' Armor responds, while on the edge of the library, Bobby grins and declares that they have a chase on their hands. 'This is not a good thing, Bobby' Jean-Paul mutters, to which Bobby points out that there is nothing wrong with a little excitement once in a while. Betsy instructs Jean-Paul and Bobby to go high while she and Blob heads them off on the ground.
'Pardon us. Sorry for the interruption' Glob tells people in the other building as he, Anole and Rockslide run past them.
On the street below, Armor goes over to a man who is about to get into a white van and tells him that she needs to borrow his van. 'What? I... who are -' the confused man begins to reply, while someone shouts 'Stop right there!'
'Come on, kids. You may as well give up. There's nowhere to go' Bobby calls out as he ice-sleds after the young mutants, while Northstar flies alongside him. Anole glances back at them, but keeps on running.
Back on the street, Psylocke walks towards Armor, her hands held up, 'You're Hisako, right? My name is Psylocke. I talked to your class a few days ago' Betsy reminds Armor, and tells her that they can sort out this whole mess, that she is sure it is just a misunderstanding. 'I'm sorry. We... we can't' Armor replies.
'Leave us alone!' Rockslide exclaims as he throws some furniture towards Iceman, knocking him backwards.
Psylocke is knocked backwards too as Armor goes up to her and slams her force field into her. 'I'm so, so sorry' Armor calls out.
The impact of the furniture slamming into Bobby hurls him back into Northstar.
'What now?' Anole wonders as he, Glob and Rockslide arrive on a corner. 'Hey! Get in!' Armor calls out as she pulls up beside them in the stolen white van.
The Blob calls out to Psylocke, rushing towards her as Betsy struggles to get to her feet. Blob puts his hands on Betsy as he helps her up and asks her if she is okay. 'No' Betsy replies, admitting that she let her guard down, thought she could talk Armor into coming in. 'It was foolish of me' she adds, before the Blob asks after the others, but Betsy tells him that she doesn't know. Betsy telepathically contacts Bobby and Northstar and asks them if they stopped the kids. 'Ahh... we ran into some trouble' Bobby responds, while Northstar admits that they lost them. 'Damn it' Betsy mutters. Blob tells Betsy that the kids blew up the library, that they have resorted to terrorist tactics, and coupled with what was in Glob's journal, he thinks they need to call in the X-Men on this one. Betsy just frowns.
One week later, images of Armor, Anole, Glob and Rockslide appear on a news announcement, as the reporter states that Department X is still on the lookout for four Summers Institute students who went missing last week. Dean Angel appears on the news announcement, remarking that they are deeply concerned for the well-being of their students and just want to ensure that they are not in any danger. He adds that they would like to implore the public to be on the lookout for Anole, Armor, Glob and Rockslide, and ask that they do not approach the students as they may be easily frightened. At a convenience store in Rapid City, South Dakota, a young woman with blonde hair looks at a television which is displaying the news report as she places several bottles of water on the counter. 'That's a lot of food and drink for one person. You going campin' or something?' the store clerk asks. 'Something like that, yeah' the blonde woman replies, listening as Angel tells viewers that if they see the students to contact Department X immediately. 'And students, if you're out there – please get in touch with us. Let us know where you are' he remarks. The clerk packs the young woman's food and drinks and tells her that with the gas the cost is nineteen dollars and 6 cents. 'Here. Keep the change' the woman replies, handing the man a twenty dollar note as she heads out of the store.
'Finally! I'm starved!' Rockslide exclaims as the blonde woman gets into the van. 'We're all over the news' the blonde woman reports. Glob asks her what they are saying. 'That we're missing. And they're concerned about us. No word about the explosion' she adds. 'That's something, at least' Glob remarks. 'Are you kidding?' Anole asks as he takes the bag of food and looks through it, telling his friends that it means they are covering it up, that they don't want anything to disrupt their little utopia. 'Egg salad sandwich. Gross' Anole mutters, adding that he bets they have wiped the explosion from everyone's minds by now. He starts eating a sandwich and declares that if they didn't have Glob here make them wax shields every night, he bets that they would have forgotten, too, although he wonders how much longer they have before it is discovered they know how to protect themselves and some sort of work-around is found. Hisako removes the blonde wig and tells her friends that, either way, they need to get to Quadra Island quickly. She reveals that they are running out of money, and points out that it is only a matter of time before someone recognizes them or this stolen van. Anole tells Armor that it is so cool she actually jacked a van, but Armor tells him to shut up.
The next day, deep within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington, Glob and Rockslide cover the van with leaves and branches, while Armor starts a small fire. Anole goes and sits next to her as she tells her friends that she never thought that she would be a fugitive on the run from the law, hiding out in the woods and eating food over a fire. She puts a sausage on a spike as she prepares to cook it over the fire, while Anole tells the others that he is sorry, and that they should have just left him, that he didn't want to get anyone else involved. Armor assures Anole that they wouldn't have left him behind, that's not what friends do. 'If Department X had caught you... they would have... you know. Third strike and you're gone' Glob points out, but Anole tells Glob that he doesn't know, that he has never explained.
Glob pauses, before informing his friends that for the longest time he felt like he was crazy, that maybe he was losing his mind – everyone believed that this place was real, but he knew it wasn't, that it couldn't be. But he remembers where they came from, he remembers who they really were. 'But if everyone believed it was real maybe it was and I was wrong? Maybe I was...maybe there was something wrong with me. But then, when I started noticing changes... people who became problems... who acted out... kept disappearing. I don't know where they went. Only that it was like they were never there. No one remembered them. Except me' Glob explains. Glob continues, telling his friends that hopefully, by tomorrow, he can show them what he already knows, that the Life Seed is still on that beach. He adds that if they find the Life Seed and prove it wasn't destroyed in the Resolution, that it is still intact then they can show that everyone is being lied to. Rockslide tells Glob tha he hopes so, as he hates to think they became fugitives for nothing. Anole eats a sausage as he tells Glob that he believes him. Glob thanks his friends, then they fall silent around the fire.
The next day, the four young mutants walk across the shore of Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada. 'Here' Glob calls out, before dropping to his knees, he runs his fingers through the sand and declares that this is where he was – X-Man – right before everything changed, before they ended up...how they are. Glob lets some sand fall through his hands, 'It's got to be...' he begins, but finds nothing. 'I...I swear it was right here' he utters, turning back to his friends, he declares that he must have misremembered, that it's here somewhere, he asks them to help him look. Santo, Victor and Hisako drop to the sand and begin digging through it. 'Glob, are you sure -' Anole asks, forlorn. 'IT'S HERE! KEEP DIGGING!' Glob exclaims. He knows it is here, as he saw it. Suddenly, he looks up as a voice calls out 'There is nothing there, my child'.
'Glob Herman has taken the four of you on a fool's errand. The Life Seed is not here. It has never been here!' Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm declares as she arrives via teleportation along with her fellow X-Men Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler, Lin Li a.k.a. Nature Girl, Laura Kinnry a.k.a. X-23, Erik Lensherr a.k.a. Magneto and the friend of the fugitive mutants Megan Gwynn a.k.a. Pixie. Nightcrawler informs the young mutants that Department X told them the truth about them, and warns them that they are in a lot of trouble. 'Please listen to them guys...they're just trying to help' Pixie calls out to her friends. 'Pixie?' Armor exclaims, surprised to see her, while Glob  asks Armor if they fight the X-Men. 'Fight the X-Men?' Anole exclaims. He throws his hands to his head and tells the others that they can't fight the X-Men. He thanks his friends for helping him the best they could, but he can't let them do this. 'I've already caused the three of you enough trouble. Not anymore' Anole tells his friends.

'This is crap' Armor mutters as X-23 places some cuffs on her, and Magneto does the same to Anole. Glob looks at Pixie and asks her how she found them. 'With your journal' Pixie replies, smiling as she holds Glob's journal up. She remarks that all the clues were in there, so it wasn't hard to figure out where they would be headed. 'Hey, that's mine! You can't -' Glob exclaims, reaching out for his journal, Pixie holds it away from him. Nightcrawler leaps onto Glob and forces him to the ground, 'Quite a fiction you wrote' he remarks. 'Glob's just a confused kid with an overactive imagination. I don't know how you all fell for it' Pixie remarks. Glob looks up at Nightcrawler and asks him what he is going to do to them. 'I'm sure that Department X will have a suitable punishment arranged' someone announces.
Several days later, within the Danger Room prison complex, Glob sits at the end of a long line of partitioned tables, a tray of food in front of him. He looks over to the other prisoners who are lined up to collect their trays of food, and notices Anole. He looks away, as a voice calls out 'Hey there. Mind if I sit here?' It's Armor, and Glob tells her 'Yeah... I mean, sure...please'. Armor sits down in the seat next to Glob, while Anole comes along and asks if the seat next to her is taken. As he starts to sit down though, the Beast, sitting at another table calls out 'Hey... come sit with us. We stick to our own kind in here. Ferals eat with the ferals'. Glob turns away and sees Rockslide carrying his tray, but Rockslide walks right past Glob and the others. Armor smiles at Glob and introduces herself as Hisako, adding that she is new here, holding her hand out. Glob looks at her hand, to which Armor tells him that this is usually the point where he would shake her hand and tell her his name. But Glob quickly stands up, causing his tray of food to clatter to the floor as he runs away.
Glob rushes into his cell and takes a piece of paper and a small pencil out from under his pillow, where he begins to write:
My name is Glob Herman.
What follows is everything I can remember about the world before we came here. An official account of the truth.
I only hope that one day, someone can use this to somehow undo what has been done to us.
But please be careful with this information. I tried to expose the truth. I tried to fix the world. All I wanted to do was to protect my friends. But instead... instead, I damned them to live out the rest of their lives in prison.
Their minds have been wiped. They don't recognize one another. Armor tried to introduce herself to me today, as though we'd never met, but I think I've messed up her life... their lives... enough. Part of me is glad they don't remember. I couldn't look into their eyes knowing that this is all my fault. That this happened because they listened to me.
It's better that they forget... the same way that I'm sure the world has forgotten us by now. And maybe that's for the best. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I am crazy. Maybe everyone else was right. Maybe this is our real world. Maybe this is where we really belong.
Life goes on for the students of the Summers Institute. Shark Girl sits alone in the cafeteria, watching the movies featuring Nightcrawler that are displayed on monitors around the cafe. Bling smiles at Pixie, who sits next to her, and later, Pixie listens attentively in her civics class. Angel smiles and waves at students who pass him on the school grounds.
The chickens, Scott, Logan and Hope, peck at the ground, and suddenly look up, as the young twin mutants Manon and Maxime appear, and begin to feed them. 'You know what?' Maxime asks his sister. 'I can't remember who told us...but this is pretty relaxing' he remarks. 'Yes, a nice way to forget about your worries for a few moments, non?' Maxime agrees as the sunsets behind them.

Untitled
An unknown location, where the prison complex known as the Danger Room is situated. A new prisoner has arrived. His ankles are cuffed together, causing him to shuffle down the corridor between cells, accompanied by two guards who wear blank helmets that cover their faces. The prisoner wears green overalls, his wrists chained together as well. His name is Lucas Bishop, and he has a raft of crimes against his name – possession of illegal weapons (firearms); conspiracy to disseminate anti-autonomy misinformation; initiating (romantic) relationship with another person.
'Mr Bishop. We've been expecting you' a voice calls out as the restraints around Bishop's cuffs are removed. Bishop turns to the man in a gray uniform that approaches him. He introduces himself as Forge, the Warden of this place. Forge announces that he will give Bishop a tour of his new home, and informs him that while he is here, he will be outfitted with a collar that inhibits his mutant abilities, explaining that once he has proven that he can control himself, and has done his mandated time, he will be released and the collar removed.
The guards follow Bishop and Forge as they make their way through the Danger Room prison facility, passing through a gymnasium where other inmates are working out or playing a game of basketball. Forge tells Bishop that his inability to conform has lost him the freedom to be out there. They enter the cafeteria, where Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast, another prisoner, is on cleaning duty, moping the floor. Several prisoners look up at the new arrival, including Dani Moonstar and Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, who folds her arms across herself. Bishop looks over at Dani and Polaris as Forge informs him that he is expected to be cooperative. 'To help us help you to learn to be a productive member of society' he adds. Some laughter can be heard resonating around the cells, as Forge comes to Bishop's cell, he tells the new prisoner that he will come to learn his place in things. Bishop enters the darkened cell and rubs his wrists as Forge welcomes him, and tells him that he hopes his stay will be short and productive.
in vision:Bishop wears a blue and gold costume and runs through a ruined city, firing a weapon at a large Sentinel which looms over him. 'Halt. Mutant' the Sentinel calls out. 'Get it together' Bishop tells himself as he looks up at the Sentinel, who suddenly raises a hand above Bishop and informs him that he will be eliminated, as energy begins to glow from the Sentinel's hand.
Reality:'No!' Bishop utters, wide-eyed as he sits on the edge of the bed in his cell. He swears as he covers his face with his hands.
Later, Bishop enters the dining hall, where other prisoners sit at long tables with partitions separating them from the prisoners sitting opposite and next to them. Two mutants are communicating in morse code, indicating to each other that Bishop is the new guy, while Moonstar sits down next to Polaris, 'Is that him?' she asks quietly. 'What're you looking at, chump?' a mutant with large black wings and several tattoos on his face and arms asks, as the young mutant Gabby Kinney reclines in her chair, feet up on the table, she snorts, while a gray-skinned mutant sitting under her table exclaims 'Yo, Gabby. Looks like the X-Men are sending their own here now?'
Bishop joins the line to get some food, 'Excuse me. Mind passing me a tray?' he asks a woman with short blonde hair. 'You're awful close. Might wanna back up a step' the woman snaps, looking at Bishop, who appears slightly confused, and asks the woman, who also has a large “M” stamped over her right eye, if he knows her. 'You tell me' the woman smirks, folding her arms. Suddenly, 'Move it!' Gabby Kinney shouts as she pushes past Bishop, 'Some of us are still hungry!' she snarls. 'Patience is a virtue, kid' Bishop remarks. 'Says the new guy standing around talking to himself' Gabby mutters. 'What? No. I was talking to...' Bishop begins, going wide-eyed as he sees that there was no blonde woman in front of him. 'Where did she -' Bishop asks. 'Yeah, okay, gramps' Gabby remarks, while Bishop hears a loud laughter. 'You and Lorna know the same invisible people' Gabby suggests. Bishop looks around and realizes that no one else hears the laughter.
Bishop takes his tray to the counter, where a four-armed mutant serves some slop onto his tray. 'Day one. Get it together, Bishop' Bishop tells himself, before a large, blue, furry mutant – Hank McCoy a.k.a. Beast – comes up next to him, 'I couldn't help but notice that you had words with one of mine' the Beast remarks. Bishop tells him that he isn't seeing what the problem is here. The Beast tells Bishop that he knows who he was out there, but he needs to understand that amounts to nothing in here. 'You will learn respect, or you will not last very long' the Beast informs Bishop. Bishop tells the Beast that he seems real wound up for this early in the morning and asks him if his blood sugar is low, if he got enough breakfast. 'Now that you mention it, I could use another portion of meat!' the Beast snarls, moving in closer to Bishop, who readies a fist to punch the Beast – but the fight is broken up before it begins, as Moonstar puts a hand on the Beast and tells him 'Enough, please'.
The Beast moves back from Bishop as Dani assures him that it was innocent, that she heard them. 'I'll allow the contact Moonstar. This time' the Beast remarks, while suggesting to Dani that she make sure Bishop understands to keep his own counsel from now on. The Beast lumbers away, while Dani tells Bishop that the Beast's bite is as hard as his posturing, but that if you steer clear, he should be okay. 'Thanks... I think' Bishop replies, before following Dani to an empty booth as Dani tells him that he will learn his eay around soon, and until then it is best to keep his head down. 'Keep my head down. Right' Bishop replies, sitting down and looking at the food on his tray.
Shortly, in the yard, Bishop sits in the bleachers overlooking a court where a game of basketball is underway. Gabby Kinney currently has the ball. Sitting a few feet away from Bishop is Polaris, hunched over, she stares blankly ahead. Bishop has another memory, of a time where he handed a cloth to Gabby Kinney, whose face was covered in the food she was eagerly devouring. 'Fank you!' he remembers Gabby saying to him. He pinches his nose, and Lorna turns to him, as he has another memory of Gabby – this time of her in battle, armed with deadly claws. Bishop shrugs the memory off, and walks down onto the court, 'Enough of this' he remarks, before calling out to Gabby and asking if he can talk to her for a minute. 'What? Oh, you again. Whaddaya want?' Gabby asks. Bishop tells her that he thinks they got off on the wrong foot, that he might have scared her or something. 'Are you serious? You?' Gabby retorts. 'I could kick your $#%&!' she grins. Bishop pinches his nose again and tells Gabby that he is trying to say he is sorry. He explains that he has been having these flashes, like memories, but possibly not. He then asks Gabby if they knew each other before she got here.
'Look, buddy. I would remember someone as annoying as you and... oh. Oh. You are like Lorna, huh?' Gabby replies, before assuring him that she won't tell Hank to come around again, and that he should take it easy now, try napping, as that helps her when she gets the brain fuzzies. Gabby catches the basketball and shoves it into Bishop's hands. 'No, I meant -' Bishop begins, but Gabby tells him 'Bye now' as she starts to walk away. '... right' Bishop mutters, before throwing the ball to a blond mutant with wings, then heading back to the bleachers. 'Polaris?' he calls out to the green-haired mutant. 'Or Pestilence?' Bishop wonders as he has a memory of Lorna wearing a terrifying armor. Bishop stands over Lorna and tells her that this may sound out there, but that kid said they might be alike. 'Do...do you see other things? Do you know me?' Bishop asks. Polaris doesn't answer, and glances to the side. 'I'd leave it for now. She's having a bad day today' Dani calls out as she approaches Bishop, who thanks her. 'Come with me?' Dani asks. 'Yeah. Yeah, okay' Bishop replies.
Dani and Bishop walk past other mutants who are working out with gym equipment, and Dani asks Bishop if he has questions about the people here, and the rules. 'That's just the start of it' Bishop replies, before introducing himself as Lucas Bishop. 'We all know who you are' Dani tells him. She informs him that the powers that be don't encourage affiliation, same as on the outside – but it still happens here. 'Like gravitates to like. For protection, but more for understanding' she explains. They walk past another group of winged mutants who are playing volleyball, and Dani tells Bishop that their powers may have been taken away, but what makes them special remains. 'This seems wrong, somehow' Bishop replies, rubbing the back of his head. 'We're in prison, Bishop' Dani smiles, but Bishop tells her that it's something else, something more. He reveals to Dani that he is seeing things wrong, remembering things about people that he just met – and his memories feel more real than all of this.
Dani looks at her hands and tells Bishop that she knows what he means. She then hugs herself and declares that she does not belong here. Bishop puts a hand on Dani's shoulder and admits that he hasn't been here for long, but that, aside from a few, he doesn't think anyone belongs here. Dani turns to Bishop and tells him that isn't what she means. 'I don't know why I'm here' she adds, explaining that she has memories of being out there, but they are wrong, they can't be true. Images flash through Dani's mind, of wearing a black and yellow costume and firing using a bow and arrow as flames washed over her, and of riding a dark, winged steed as lightning crackled behind them. 'Wait, you too?' Bishop asks. But before they can discuss further, a siren sounds, and a voice announces that yard time is complete, and that prisoners need to make their way inside for the evening meal. 'Wait, I -' Bishop calls out as Dani starts to head inside. Dani tells him that he has to be careful, and to only speak when he is sure they aren't paying attention. 'But -' Bishop protests. 'Time's up. For now' Dani replies.
Soon, at dinner, Bishop stands in the line to get his food, and thanks the mutant who serves it to him. But as he starts to leave the line, he finds himself shoved forwards, and lands on the ground. 'What the -' Bishop begins, turning, he starts to get up, only for the Beast to pin him to the ground by standing on his head. 'I distinctly remember telling you to leave the girl alone' the Beast snarls. 'Sorry. I lied about not telling on you' Gabby grins as she stands on the bars that separate the line from the rest of the dining hall. 'Coward, attacking a man from behind' Bishop remarks as he shoves the Beast off of him andd gets to his feet. 'Let's see how things go when I'm ready for you' Bishop suggests as he readies himself for a fight. The Beast leers at Bishop, who narrows his eyes, and has a vision of being in a lab with the Beast, only they both look slightly different. In his vision, he thanks the Beast for helping him with his gun, and tells him that it means a lot. The Beast is friendly and tells Bishop that it was his pleasure, that he always enjoyed a puzzle – and what could be more of a challenge than an energy transformation system that hasn't been invented yet!
Bishop glances sideways as he hears that strange laughter again. 'We...we shouldn't be fighting' he begins, before the Beast punches him hard in the stomach. 'Enough talk! You will learn your place!' the Beast roars as he continues to punch Bishop. 'Hands in the air, now!' a prison guard calls out, while Gabby hands the Beast a chair. Several guards surround Bishop, who has fallen to the floor again. Bishop tells them that this is all a big misunderstanding. 'Ain't that right, Hank?' he asks the Beast, who roars as several guards lunge at him and try to restrain him. 'Stand down!' one of them shouts, before they fire weapons at him which appear to be some sort of stun guns.
Shortly, the Beast is led back to his cell, along with the other mutant prisoners as a voice over the intercom announces that the facility will be on lockdown until further notice, and that the prisoners should use their time to reorient themselves to their environment. 'Think on what is expected of you. Ask yourself how you can be a better version of yourself. Remember: This is for your own good' the announcer suggests. Bishop sits on his bed in his cell, as Dani stands at his door briefly. Bishop lies down and closes his eyes, as he hears that strange laughter once more.
Suddenly, 'Well, well, well. What do we have here. Step into my parlor, won't you?' the Shadow King grins as he appears in Bishop's mind, sitting his lower body resembling that of a spider, with eight legs extending out over a large web. The Shadow King appears as Apocalypse, standing over Bishop's fallen teammates – Jean Grey, Storm, Colossus and X-23. 'Even without context, your mind still knows to be afraid. How interesting' the Shadow King remarks, switching his appearance once more to that of Shard, crushed in the hand of a Sentinel, 'You don't remember, but the fear still rules you. We're going to have a lot of fun' the Shadow King snarls, as his laughter ripples through Bishop's mind.
Bishop opens his eyes and sits on the edge of his bed. He glances to the floor and sees a note, which he picks up. He looks out through the cell bars, but can't see anyone. Bishop opens the note and reads it:
The dream is real.
The realty false!
GET OUT!
