LISTEN TO ME?
THE...
THE GSA WANT TO GET RID
OF ADAM, JUST LIKE YOU.
REALLY?
YEAH, THAT'S
WHY THEY WANT YOU:
TO... TO HELP THEM.
THEY WANT ME?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
CHARLOTTE,
YOU BELONG HERE.
I MEAN,
YOU CAN REALLY, REALLY
FIT IN WITH THESE PEOPLE.
MISS COOKE, MR. ECKHART
WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU.
I'M A LITTLE TIED UP RIGHT NOW.
WE DON'T OFTEN COME
ACROSS NEW MUTANTS LIKE YOU.
WE THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE
THE RIGHT STUFF FOR THE GSA.
THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS JUST...
WE KNOW WHAT ADAM
DID TO YOUR FATHER.
HE COULD HAVE HANDLED
THE SITUATION QUIETLY,
BETWEEN COLLEAGUES.
BUT HE HAD TO GO PUBLIC.
HE HAD TO
SATISFY HIS OWN EGO.
WE NEED YOUR
HELP TO STOP ADAM BEFORE HE
RUINS MORE PEOPLE'S LIVES.
DON'T OFFER
TOO MUCH UP FRONT.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
LET HIM
DO THE TALKING.
HE LIKES TO COME
UP WITH THE IDEAS HIMSELF.
SPEAK WHEN YOU'RE SPOKEN TO.
WHO THE HELL DOES
THIS GUY THINK HE IS?
LET'S GET
SOMETHING STRAIGHT
RIGHT NOW, CHARLOTTE:
YOU'VE GOT RAW TALENT,
AND THAT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT.
I CONVINCED ECKHART
TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE.
DON'T MAKE ME LOOK BAD.
AM I UNDERSTOOD?
I WON'T LET YOU DOWN.
MR. LYNCH HERE HAS
THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN
YOUR ABILITIES, MISS COOKE.
I'M AFRAID I DO NOT.
SIR?
I REALIZE I MIGHT HAVE BEEN A
BIT HASTY IN AGREEING TO THIS.
PLEASE DON'T UNDERESTIMATE
ME, MR. ECKHART.
BUT I'M WILLING
TO BE CONVINCED.
REMOVE HER RESTRAINTS.
HOLD ON.
THIS SHOULD BE
A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT.
HOW'RE YOU
FEELING, MR. LYNCH?
DID YOU KNOW HE WAS PRONE
TO THOSE KINDS OF BEHAVIOUR
BEFORE YOU HIRED HIM?
NICELY DONE, MISS COOKE.
THAT'S QUITE ENOUGH. MR. LYNCH.
OH, IT'LL WEAR OFF IN
ABOUT FIVE MORE SECONDS...
ON NEW MUTANTS.
AND ON NORMAL --
EXCUSE ME -- NON-NEW MUTANTS?
I ONLY TESTED IT ONCE BEFORE.
AND?
WELL,
IT SEEMS TO LAST FOREVER.
REALLY?
ALRIGHT, MISS COOKE,
I'M CONVINCED.
WHAT WAS YOUR PLAN?
ADAM?
ADAM, IT'S CHARLOTTE.
UM, I NEED YOUR HELP,
AND I HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.
CHARLOTTE, THIS IS EMMA.
EMMA, I ESCAPED FROM
GENOMEX, IT WAS HORRIBLE.
WHERE IS SHE?
IS THAT ADAM?
CHARLOTTE,
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M...
I'M AT MY APARTMENT.
ALRIGHT, YOU
STAY RIGHT THERE.
I'M ON MY WAY.
NO ONE ESCAPES FROM GENOMEX.
YOU CAN'T TRUST HER.
EMMA.
LOOK, AT LEAST
LET ME COME WITH YOU.
TOO DANGEROUS,
NOT GOING TO HAVE ANYONE
ELSE EXPOSED TO THAT TOXIN.
HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PROTECT
YOURSELF AGAINST THE TOXIN?
BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T
DO THAT TO ME.
SHE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
BEFORE, AND SHE DIDN'T DO IT.
JUST THINK ABOUT
IT FOR A MINUTE.
WHY
WOULD SHE COME RUNNING
BACK TO US FOR HELP?
WELL, MAYBE SHE'S
SEEN WHAT LIFE WOULD
BE LIKE FOR HER THERE.
THAT'S WHAT
SHE WANT YOU TO THINK.
ALRIGHT, LOOK.
IF IT'S A TRAP,
I'LL DEAL WITH IT ALONE.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT
I DID BEFORE, TO YOUR FRIENDS.
THAT'S ALRIGHT. I UNDERSTAND.
NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH I HATED YOU.
I... I JUST...
I NEEDED SOMEONE
ELSE TO BLAME.
SOMEBODY OTHER
THAN MY FATHER.
YOUR FATHER
LOVED YOU VERY MUCH.
YEAH,
HE WAS WEAK, THAT'S ALL.
WELL, IF I KNEW WHAT HE
WAS GETTING HIMSELF INTO...
YOU WOULD
HAVE STOPPED HIM.
I'M SO SORRY
FOR HATING YOU.
PLEASE FORGIVE...
OH MY GOD.
YOU DON'T TRUST ME.
YOU'RE JUST LIKE THEM.
CHARLOTTE,
WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?
I WANT ANOTHER CHANCE.
PUT ME IN
THE UNDERGROUND.
I WANT TO GO IN THE UNDERGROUND.
ALRIGHT.
HOW DID YOU
ESCAPE FROM GENOMEX?
THE WAY I ALWAYS DO.
I USED MY POWERS.
I DON'T WANT
TO DO THAT ANY MORE.
I...
I'M ASKING FOR HELP.
ALL MY LIFE
EVERYBODY JUST...
WON'T EVEN TOUCH ME,
THEY'RE AFRAID OF ME.
AND YOU ARE TOO.
YOU...
I'M SORRY.
NO, NO. NO.
I'M... I'M SO SORRY.
I JUST...
I'M SORRY FOR THE
WAY THINGS TURNED OUT.
I'M SORRY THAT I...
I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE FOR YOU.
IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
ADAM.
EMMA?
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOU?
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
OF COURSE HE'S ALRIGHT.
HE CAME TO HELP ME.
SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE.
THANKS FOR COMING BY.
VERY CLEVER OF YOU TO PLAY
ON MY
