[xp_madin]

Following last night's dog shelter break in, X-Factor (and friends) finally have a lead on the missing boy, Ben.


( They reckon there's nothing for them up here )

Madin leads them on an exploration of the Chicago tunnels.

( Question is, are they just out on errands or are they gone gone? )

Chicago is Burning:

[xp_madin]

After last night's events - and Eve's murder, Ben decides to say goodbye to his grandmother as he now feels there's no way at all that he can stay.

( Going back home after so long was much easier than he'd thought it would be )

Quire, Havok, Dust and Skin, with Madin tagging along, head to the site of the police disturbance.

( You asking us three to kill the police while Dust extracts Match? )

Meanwhile, in the house

( Time to talk more later, but we need to get out of here now. )

Outside the house, a plan to remove the threat is made.

( We've got to get the cops away from here before they get up the nerve to go in )

Chicago is Burning: Conclusions

[xp_madin]

Safely away from Ben's grandma's burning house, they regroup. Ben is offered a place to stay - Chicago isn't a viable option. Madin, who had tagged along until now reluctantly asks to come along too.

( You can come with us for a time or we can get you to where you want to go, whatever )

While the distraction is going on, Jubilee, Doug and Nat take the opportunity to raid John Sublime’s personal tent and wipe all information he might have about X-Force and Jasmine Destine.
