INT. WHITE HOUSE – OVAL OFFICE
Trask walks into his office and around to his desk when he’s taken back by a guard laying unconscious on the floor, gun to the side. He goes to press a button under the desk, but stops when a voice calls out to him.
SINISTER
(O.S.)
I’d say you’d find pressing that button useless. The secret service is quite busy.
Sinister joins Trask on screen, smiling.
TRASK
I don’t need the secret service…
Trask is about to approach Sinister when a blur comes on to the screen and grabs him from behind, Callisto holds him back gritting her teeth.
CALLISTO
Now you gonna talk or you gonna make me snap your neck?
TRASK
I’ll talk. I’ll talk.
SINISTER
Good. Good. Now, Mr. President, do tell where the top secret Sentinel facility is.
TRASK
What? Why? What do you want with that information? Even if you were to find it, the Sentinels would turn you into dust, you pathetic…
Callisto tightens her grip as if to threaten him. Sinister walks behind the desk joining them face to face.
TRASK
Alright, everything you need to know…is in the folder on the desk.
Sinister looks down at the desk, sees a folder. He grabs it up and opens it. It’s not what he needs. He growls and nods at Callisto.
TRASK
You really thought you’d get away with this you mutant sickos. You’ll never make it out of here alive!
Callisto twists his neck and with that, President Bolivar Trask is dead. His body falls from Callisto’s grasp and onto the floor in a slump.
CALLISTO
And neither will you..
SINISTER
Turn this office upside down! Don’t stop till you find the location. Meanwhile, I have more business to take care of…
Callisto nods.
CUT TO:
INT. MUIR ISLAND – WEST SIDE - SECONDS LATER
The west side is just as destroyed as the lobby, Cyclops, Magneto, Beast and Emma walk down the destroyed hallway.
CYCLOPS
Sean, Sean, if you are anywhere around can you hear me?!
Beast looks at Magneto.
BEAST
May I inquire for a moment?
MAGNETO
You may.
BEAST
Why do you seek to help us?
MAGNETO
I see the errors of my previous ways.
BEAST
And why now, of all the opportunities and chances?
MAGNETO
I spent months, days, and years as a human. I’d awake every morning and reflect upon life, upon the meanings of things, of my past, of many things really and as time passed I saw that perhaps I was wrong and Charles was right. That perhaps it’d be best for mutants and humans to peaceful co-exist. Everyday I thought of Charles. Everyday I replayed his last moments. I’d give anything to have his company again.
Beast smiles.
BEAST
Welcome to the team.
Magneto smiles back.
CYCLOPS
I think I see something up ahead.
Ahead a brief glimpse of a figure is seen then disappears. Cyclops gives a quick confused look and he begins to move forward when Emma stops him.
EMMA
No, I have a bad feeling about this.
CYCLOPS
What?
EMMA
I’m detecting something up ahead. Something strong.
CYCLOPS
We still have to check it out.
Cyclops and his group move forward.
INT. MUIR ISLAND – EAST SIDE – MOMENTS LATER
Storm throws her hand back to stop her group.
STORM
Wait…something is ahead of us.
WOLVERINE
I don’t see anything.
CECILIA
Me either.
STORM
No…look.
Suddenly, everyone sees just as we do the still unclear figure. It walks into a room and disappears from our and the X-Men’s site.
STORM
What kind of scent are you getting Logan?
WOLVERINE
Nothing noticeably different, Ro.
NIGHTCRAWLER
Hold on, I’ll be right back.
He teleports off ahead and into the room. He returns shortly
NIGHTCRAWLER
There is nothing. No one there. It’s so weird.
CECILIA
I’m starting to get wig out here guys.
STORM
You’re not the only one.
INT. MUIR ISLAND – LAB
Iceman and his group are searching through the lab. Empty. Rogue and Kitty spot the hospital room and begin to walk towards it, when they are flung back and into some equipment and a creepy voice begin to fill the room. The voice of the creepy figure from Xavier’s Astral Plane encounter.
CREEPY VOICE
STAY AWAY FROM THERE! STAY AWAY!
Colossus and Angel help Rogue and Kitty up.
ICEMAN
What the hell? Who are you?
CREEPY VOICE
I am your worst nightmare.
JUBILEE
So you don’t want us in the room do you? Well, that’s just to bad mister strap throat!
Jubilee suddenly begins to concentrate her plasmatic energy and releases a huge blast that blows the door and a large portion of the wall away. The young X-Men step back at the initial blast but they continue on into the room.
INT. MUIR ISLAND – HOSPITAL ROOM
They find all the beds empty and the equipment turned over. No signs of life in the room. They all begin to search the room
ICEMAN
What were you so scared of us finding in here?
ROGUE
Oh my god! Bobby!
Everyone turns to find Rogue bending over; she pulls up holding Moira’s labcoat. Behind her are the rest of Moira’s clothes as well.
KITTY
This is just too weird.
JUBILEE
Super weird.
Iceman lifts his hand up to his ear and presses into it.
ICEMAN
Storm, Cyclops. You better come to the lab area. We’ve got something.
