After tracking the signal from Sharon's collar the X-Men arrive on scene, and they're not in a patient mood.

( In the interests of time, let's assume we've already asked you a question and you've told us you don't know anything so we can get right to the torture. Seem fair? )

Nightcrawler and Spectrum, acting as reconnaissance, encounter the first wave of resistance and get a hint that all is not as it appears to be.

xp_topaz

Team Magic + Kurt arrive to get the kids home. It doesn't go well.

( Maybe take the younger ones first? Liam, Emily- )

xp_match

A quiet afternoon means that Match is able to show how far his juggling lessons with Kurt have gotten. The resident blue mutant is able to gently suggest maybe some more classes be added to his curriculum.

( Teaching a willing student is one of my favourite things, )

xp_emplate

There's more than one way to use the Danger Room.

( Not your game? )

xp_nightcrawler

Kurt drops by to see Rogue and finds Hope instead.

( I won't be here that long and she's leaving in two weeks, so it works out for both of us. )

xp_emplate

As it turns out, Molly meets the whole Horseman thing with admirable equanimity.

( It's cool. I think a lot of people have been temporarily evil before. )

An uncomfortable conversation with Kurt proves easier than it might have been.

( No apology is needed, you know. )

As Death deploys his avatar powers, ready to claim not just District X but the heart of New York, Kane has time for one last desperate gamble.

( I eat your reality sandwich! )

xp_dominion

Warren and Bobbi help evacuate residents of District X to varying degrees of frustration and gratefulness.

Death’s race with Kurt turns out to be a ruse to lure him to Jubilee and Amanda.

( You'll need to throw something at me other than gravity. )

Kyle, Kurt and April are able to bring Marius to a halt, but not to put him down, as he initiates the beginning of the end.

( Apologies, but I've no interest in monologuing. Things to do, you know. )

xp_legion

Sooraya and Clarice find themselves dealing with an out-of-control mutant and some extremely ungrateful protesters.

( You gonna show me the world? )

While it is always morally correct to punch bigots, Kurt witnesses Kyle taking things a little too far.

( Enough. Have you forgotten why you were doing this? )

Equally thrown by the blast, a mode-locked April and disoriented Maya collide.

( Is that you? )

Amidst the chaos, Scott and Monica find themselves responding to one crisis they could not have foreseen: Alex.

( I don't know what's happening )

xp_legion

A week after the unseasonable flooding of NYC, various anti-mutant groups have united for a demonstration on the borders of District X. The X-Men are present to ensure things remain civil.

( So far, everyone is behaving well enough. )

Obviously civility doesn't last. But what at first appears to be a simple IED proves to be something much, much worse.

( Someone’s let off a bomb! Repeat, we have a bomb! )

xp_spectrum

Match and Artie are working on sandbagging, early on during the storm and find out they have rather a lot in common.

In the midst of rescues, one flier runs into... or rather through another.

( We get a lot of floods back home, I couldn’t just sit by and let folks not used to em suffer. )

Later on, Hope and Kurt team up to look for those needing evacuation.

( I am not sure that breaking into his home would have the effect we are hoping for. )

xp_madin

A group of X-Men and X-Force meet to discuss the problem currently sitting in the basement.

( I had a discussion with Madin and, well, let's be honest, after a while in my job, I've gotten good at knowing when someone is lying to my face. )

Out of patience, Kevin takes matters into his own hands.

( But nah, they had to stop for a little menty-b first, like that couldn't have waited a few hours )

xp_nightcrawler

Our two nocturnal residents run into each other and introduce themselves.

( In the dark, no one sees me if I do not allow them to. )

xp_daytripper

Called to North Africa by X-Force, the X-Men start with a bit of recon - Blink and Psylocke team up to scope out the compound.

( Villainous Decor R Us. )

Considering what they're facing, the X-Men go in for shock and awe, with Dominion and ~~Marvel Girl~~ Phoenix as the Shock.

( TK-directed flash grenade. That's all kinds of nasty in my head. )

Next up is Team Awe - Colossus and Nightcrawler, who literally drop into the ritual.

( Just be cautious, gunfire tends to ricochet off of my body. I'd hate to have to patch you up. )

Once Colossus and Nightcrawler are done clearing out the bad guys, Blink, Pyslocke and Spectrum come in to free the victims of the ritual.

( Magic was just... too much and she wasn't messing with it for anything. )

Faced with something not of this world, the rest of the team comes in to help rescue efforts. And find a surprise.

( There's someone in there. )
