INT – WHITE HOUSE – MINUTES LATER
Sinister and his gang are in a full blown battle with the agents and cops now. They are fighting back forces to and fro. Gambit is throwing his staff around like a master thief, tossing people back with it, jabbing them with it, all while throwing kinetic charged cards into fray. He’s not as rusty as Storm thought he was, that’s for sure. Callisto is speeding around the battle field, taking out more than one at a time. She stops and snaps the neck of a man before speeding off past Sabretooth is literally tearing into the insides of these men and the look on his face says he’s loving it. Pyro is singeing his foes with his flames. Sinister is digging through the chest while this is all occuring. Obviously his men are holding the guards back from him.
SINISTER
Yes, yes.
A soldier’s body Sabretooth has finished off falls onto Sinister.
SINISTER
Watch it you clumsy oaf! I’m concentrating!
Sinister literally shrugs the body off in disgust as Sabretooth growls and leaps further into the battle.
CUT TO:
INT. MUIR ISLAND – LAB - SECONDS LATER
Beast, Storm, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine are the only ones in the room now. The others have retired to the jet.
STORM
This…this just opens up more questions. It explains nothing. I mean, where is his body? Where is Moira? Comatose bodies just don’t walk out of hospital rooms!
WOLVERINE
Yeah, unless they wake up.
BEAST
That isn’t very likely. The vegetative state would have rendered his limbs almost completely useless.
NIGHTCRAWLER
And would the Professor’s brother actually do something of this nature?
CYCLOPS
All valid points, this is just too much to take in. Was the Professor even the man he said he was?
Beast places a reassuring shoulder on Scott.
BEAST
I’m sure he was.
STORM
He use to teach us about morals, about the boundaries of our powers and he was all along crossing the boundaries of his.
BEAST
But are you sure it was not for our own good? Look at us, Ororo. Look at what it did for, Jean. Look where she ended up when the boundaries he set were broken.
Storm sighs. Nightcrawler reassures her and she begins to reassure him back with a rub of his hand. They smile at one another. Nightcrawler’s tail has gone into overdrive mode again. The room is calm and collective.
CUT TO:
INT. X-JET – SAME TIME
Magneto and Emma sit close together, each studying different things. Emma is focusing on the doorway and Magneto on a girl. The girl is Polaris.
MAGNETO
You know back there? Telling them that, I feel as if a great deal of years and year of burden is off me. I can step forward in my life now.
Emma looks up at him. His focus shifts from Polaris to her.
MAGNETO
You know why I am here. To right my wrongs, to commemorate the memory of my friend, to become something better than I was the last time I was a mutant. A second chance, but you, what are you here for?
EMMA
I fell in love.
MAGNETO
Ah. Love. A strong emotion. If a fool’s emotion.
EMMA
Well, I’m one fool, that’s been fooled too many times before.
MAGNETO
To second chances.
Magneto nods at her. She returns to focusing at the door. We shift focus from them to Iceman, Rogue, Angel, Colossus and Kitty sitting together as of in the distance we sit Jubilee with Cecilia. Colossus is still comforting Kitty as she is still a bit shocked by the revelations earlier.
ICEMAN
Rogue?
ROGUE
Yeah, Bobby?
ICEMAN
I’m sorry.
ROGUE
I know.
They smile at one another. Warren looks pleased at this. Suddenly, Emma shoots up as if ants are in her clothes.
EMMA
They’ve found what they need.
Cyclops, Beast, and Storm enter and part through the crowd that has now descended upon her. Magneto looks at them. They give him a quick indifferent look to Emma.
EMMA
Scott, we’ve got to go. Nathaniel’s found it all. They are in D.C. right now.
The group share concerned looks.
EMMA
Well, what is everyone waiting on? Help me up!
