The X-Men meet Rick Jones outside of town.

Scott, Kyle, and Jean-Phillipe do research into the deaths in town and find out they are in line with radiation poisoning.
( I used to date a physician's assistant, she'd stab me if I violated HIPAA. )
Rick Jones leads April and Nica to the source of the gamma radiation where they find that Del Frye is no longer in his grave.
( It's mostly concentrated around the kid- or his grave at least. )
Marius, Sooraya, and Rogue look for other mutants in town.
( I even used my feminine charms aka a low-cut shirt, and I got no answers really. )
Marius and Rogue help Nica disperse the gamma radiation and change it.
( Is Marius just being a mutant divining rod and I'm the spirit it speaks through then? )

The X-Men discuss two emails for help they received from Bruce Banner and Canada's Beta Flight. They decide to go investigate.
( So, depending on who we're meant to believe, we're looking for either some sort of radiation poisoning or a rogue mutation. Or fully intentional murder, I suppose. )

In the aftermath of the hunt, Phoenix and Dust tend to Liam and Sharon. The worst injuries aren't physical.
( That's it. You're safe now. Just let us take care of you, okay? )
Human trafficking should have consequences. Bevatron and Cyclops have a few ideas.
( I know that look, mon capitaine. )

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

Realizing he'll be around for a while, Marius connects with Scott to re-audition for the team. Conversation turns to their (least) favorite turncoat.

Malice and Deadpool continue to fight, and he reveals that he is not the Death they are looking for.
( You are without a doubt, the most useless waste of DNA in the world, if not the universe, )
Phoenix and Rogue move to neutralize Malice.
( But kudos for trying to get under my skin. Guess you're here to fill the quota on evil bitches in her wake, )
Dust and Cyclops finish off the last of the Marauders and start to come to some unsettling conclusions.
( You're right, it's like they weren't doing much more than distracting us with a big target and a fight that we'd respond to, that we'd have to respond to… )
The X-Men retire from the massacre, only to realize that this was not the main fight after all.
( The fight here...it's a ruse. It's not Death. )

The X-Men arrive at the Fete des Mutante in France only to discover that their fears were correct and it is a target.
( We need to hurry. Everyone is just sitting ducks out there. )
Blink and Echo are the first to engage, confirming that the man at the centre of the chaos and death is, in fact, their old friend Wade, now Deadpool.
( But don't worry. Deadpool's here to take care of you and all your friends. )
Rogue and Spectrum take over for Blink and Echo, engaging Deadpool to keep him away from the fleeing festival participants.
( I won't hold back and neither will you. Let's see who passes out from blood loss first. )
Just as the X-Men engage Wade, a new player enters the combat zone.
( I always did wonder where you’d jaunted off too. )
