MEAN, WHEN WE FOUND
HIM HE WAS JUST LIKE...
LIKE A DOG WHO'D
BEEN KICKED TOO HARD.
MY NURTURING INSCTINCTS
TOOK OVER AND I JUST...
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
I MISJUDGED SOMEONE LIKE THAT.
YEAH, WELL,
IT'S NOT LIKE I'M HITTING
THE BONUS BOARD WHEN
IT COMES
TO JUDGING GUYS.
WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME I HAD A DATE.
I KNOW, SWEETIE,
BUT HONESTLY, I MEAN,
IF I WORE THIS I WOULDN'T
BE GETTING ANY ACTION EITHER.
WELL, IT'S A START.KELLY!
COME ON.
I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS.
GO TO HELL.
AND HERE'S A PREVIEW.
YOU KNOW YOU HAVEN'T RECHARGED
ENOUGH TO DO THAT AGAIN.
HEY.
NOW THAT'S A BIG MISTAKE.
DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER EVER
TELL YOU TO WEAR RUBBERS?
WE COULD BE HERE ALL NIGHT.
BRENNAN.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
HELP ME!
NO.
HELP ME, PLEASE.
WE CAN'T JUST LET THEM
GET AWAY WITH THIS.
NO, THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH YOU.
COME ON. WE GOTTA GO.
HELP ME, PLEASE!
YOU SAID THEY
WERE ALL NEW MUTANTS.
YEAH, THE WOMAN IN CHARGE
- SHE WAS A TELE-KINETIC.
AND THE OTHER
ONE WAS A FERAL, AND
HE WAS INCREDIBLE.
YEAH, IT WAS NOTHING WE
COULDN'T HANDLE, THOUGH.
AND THEN BRENNAN
TURNS INTO ROCKET BOY.
YEAH, BUT YOU
SAID THE WOMAN IN CHARGE
WAS A TELE-KINETIC -
MAYBE IT WAS HER.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
IT WASN'T HER
THAT MADE IT HAPPEN.
HE WAS JET-PROPELLED.
MORE IMPORTANTLY,
WE LET THOSE BASTARDS GET
AWAY WITH GRABBING HER.
WELL, SOMETIMES DISCRETION'S
A BETTER PART OF VALOUR.
WHEN HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN
BRENNAN TO BE DISCREET?
WELL, THERE IS THAT.
GUYS, YOU KNOW I'M GOING
THROUGH SOMETHING TOTALLY WEIRD
HERE AND YOU'RE
MAKING FUN OF ME?
LOOK,
IF ECKHART'S FIELDING SQUADS
OF NEW MUTANT GSAGENTS,
THINGS COULD
GET UGLY - AND FAST.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO MAKE
THAT LEAP FROM ONE RUN-IN.
I STILL THINK WE OUGHT
TO BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING.
ABSOLUTELY.
HEY, HEY,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
ADAM, YOU KNOW,
I'M REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD
FOR A TUNE-UP RIGHT NOW.
COME ON, YOU BIG BABY.
CAN WE JUST DO THIS LATER?
I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND.
HEY.
SO, I HEARD ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED WITH BRENNAN.
IS HE SICK OR SOMETHING?
NO, I WOULDN'T EXACTLY
CALL HIM SICK, IT'S...
WELL, I DON'T KNOW, LET'S
JUST SAY THAT MY RESEARCH IS
PRELIMINARY - LEAVE IT AT THAT.
WHICH MEANS YOU KNOW SOMETHING
AND YOU'RE NOT TELLING.
LOOK, I NEED TO KNOW IF
YOU EXPERIENCE ANY UNUSUAL
MANIFESTATIONS OF
YOUR GIFTS RIGHT AWAY.
OKAY,
NOW YOU'RE SCARING ME.
I MEAN, I FINALLY JUST GET
COMFORTABLE WITH ONE KIND OF
WEIRDNESS AND NOW YOU'RE
TELLING ME THAT THERE'S MORE?
NO, NOT NECESSARILY.
WELL, WHAT IS
THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
WELL,
IT MEANS THAT BRENNAN'S
POWER BURST MIGHT BE A
COMPLETELY
ISOLATED INCIDENT,
OR COULD BE THE FIRST
INDICATION OF A MAJOR
SHIFT FOR ALL OF YOU.
WELL,
THANKS FOR NARROWING
IT DOWN FOR ME.
GENOMEX OPENED THE FRONTIERS
OF GENETIC SCIENCE.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOST
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWWHERE
WITHOUT A COMPASS.
YEAH, WELL, I GUESS I'M
JUST A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT
THE IMMUNITY CHALLENGE.
OKAY.
ALL THE USUAL INSTRUCTIONS:
STAY OFF THE MAIN ARTERIES,
OBEY THE POSTED
SPEED LIMITS, AND...
OH, CHECK IN WITH THE
SECURED WEBSITE WHEN YOU GET
TO YOUR DESTINATIONS, OKAY?
GOOD LUCK.
AM I LATE?
DEPENDS.
YOU COULD BE EARLY.
WHAT ARE
YOU LOOKING FOR?
I'D HEARD A
NUMBER OF US WERE GOING
INTO THE UNDERGROUND,
AND I WAS INTERESTED IN
OFFERING AN ALTERNATIVE.
I HAVE ALL UNITS,
SECURITY OFFICERS AND
GSAGENTS ON FULL ALERT.
YOU'LL HAVE TO
DO BETTER THAN THAT.
THE MAN WHO ESCAPED
IS GABRIEL ASHLOCK
- PATIENT 0,
THE FIRST CHILD OF GENOMEX.
HOW DOES THAT
IMPACT ON OUR MANHUNT?
MR. ASHLOCK'S
NEW MUTANT ABILITIES
WERE IN A CONSTANT STATE
OF FLUX FROM BIRTH.
THAT'S WHY HE WAS PODDED
- FOR HIS OWN GOOD AND
THE REST OF THE WORLD.
MS. FORTIER,
IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA
TO WARN ALL FIELD AGENTS
TO BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL
RISKS IN HIS CAPTURE.
I HAVE MY A SQUAD PREPARED
FOR ANY EVENTUALITIES, SIR.
NOT LIKELY.
GABRIEL ASHLOCK'S NEW
MUTANT GIFTS ARE OFF
