HER?
I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE
JUST SAVED HER LIFE.
YOU GUYS OKAY?
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, HURRY.
LET'S GET
HER INTO THE LAB.
FAST.
I'M BUSY, MR. DELAY.
I'M AFRAID I HAVE
SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU SIR.
A TECH'S TELLING ME WE'VE
LOST CONTACT WITH MISS BIGELOW.
WELL, THEN
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THEIR SCANNERS.
MISS BIGELOW
IS A PERFECT WEAPON.
THAT MAY BE,
MR. ECKHART, BUT I HAD THEM
DO A COMPLETE SYSTEMS CHECK.
SHE'S GONE.
HOW COULD THAT BE?
THE WHOLE ESCAPE WAS A
PERFECT CHARADE TO GET HER INTO
ADAM'S WORLD BEFORE THE FAILSAFE
SELF-DESTRUCT COULD GO ONLINE.
I UNDERSTAND, SIR.
BUT THE FACT REMAINS,
MISS BIGELOW HAS DISAPPEARED.
OHHH.
WELL, THEN, IT WOULD APPEAR
THAT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR JOB
FOR JUST A LITTLE
WHILE LONGER, MR. DELAY.
EMMA?
I'M HERE.
AND YOU'RE SAFE.
 I AM SO SORRY.
I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
WE KNOW.
ADAM HAS REVERSED EVERYTHING
THAT THEY DID TO YOU AT THE GSA.
YOU'RE STILL A TELECYBER,
BUT YOU'LL NEVER LOSE CONTROL
OF YOUR EMOTIONS AGAIN.

FEELS PRETTY GOOD, HUH?


HOW IS SHE?
WORN OUT.
SHE'S SO TIRED, SHE
FELL ASLEEP MID-SENTENCE.
LOOK, I WANTED TO
APOLOGIZE TO YOU GUYS.
WHERE ARE
YOU GOING TO START?
RUNNING AWAY WITHOUT
TELLING ANYBODY?
YEAH,
TURNING OFF YOUR COMLINK?
HANGING OUT WITH A GSAGENT?
OKAY, SO I'VE GOT A
LOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR.
FORGET ABOUT IT.
WE'VE ALL BEEN GUILTY
OF RUNNING OFF WHEN OUR PAST
HAS CAUGHT UP WITH US.
EVEN ADAM.
EVEN ADAM.
WE ALL LIVE WITH ONE FOOT IN
OUR OLD LIVES AND ONE FOOT IN
THE WORLD WE FIND OURSELVES NOW.
YEAH, AND SOMETIMES
THOSE TWO WORLDS JUST RUB
EACH OTHER THE WRONG WAY.
YEAH,
AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,
WE GET SMACKED IN THE BACK
OF THE HEAD FROM A BLAST
FROM OUR PAST, AND, WELL,
YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
FOR TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS
ARE FOR, RIGHT?
YEAH.
JUST DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK.
A GSAGENT.

I MEAN, A GSAGENT.
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
THE GUY'S NAME IS ADAM.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO
LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME.
NO, IT'S NOT.
MY MOTHER TOLD
ME ALL ABOUT HIM.
HE CAN HELP YOU.
MUTANT X IS FOR REAL.
ARE YOU EXPECTING ME
TO JUST GO RUN AND HIDE?
ADAM PROTECTS
NEW MUTANTS LIKE YOU
BY BRINGING THEM TO THE
UNDERGROUND WHERE THOSE
GOVERNMENT GOONS CAN'T FIND YOU.
I CAN
TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.
OKAY.
AND, I'M NOT ABOUT TO
TRUST SOME GUY I DON'T KNOW.
MARC, PLEASE.
JUST LISTEN
TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
SORRY, BABE.
I'M OUTTA HERE.
NO, NO. NO, NO.
PLEASE. PLEASE.
PLEASE MEGAN, LET GO OF ME.
YOU CAN'T LEAVE.
I SAID, LET GO.
MEGAN.
MARC.
MEGAN!
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?
SHE'S DEAD.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SIZING YOU UP FOR THE KILL.
WHAT'S UP?
LOOKING FOR YOUR WEAK POINT.
WHAT WEAK POINT?
IT IS FAR
TOO EARLY TO BE EXERTING
THAT KIND OF ENERGY, SHAL.
IT'S NOT NORMAL.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY
NEEDS A CUP OF COFFEE.
YOU BETTER
MAKE IT A POT.
HEY. HAS ANYONE SEEN ADAM?
NO, EMMA.
HE MUST HAVE COME
HOME PRETTY LATE LAST NIGHT.
DIDN'T HEAR HIM COME IN.
MAYBE HE'S STILL ASLEEP.
OR MAYBE HE JUST
DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME AT ALL.
COME ON,
EVEN GENIUSES NEED TO GET THEIR
GROOVE ON ONCE IN A WHILE.
WELL, I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET
HIM IN THE LAB HALF AN HOUR AGO
FOR AN EDD CHECK.
HE MISSED A CHECK-UP?
THAT DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE ADAM.
GET AWAY FROM HER.
MURDERER.
WHAT?
YOU KILLED HER.
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
I LOVED HER AND YOU
TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME.
WHO ARE YOU?
WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENED?
BECAUSE...
YOU HIT YOUR HEAD WHEN
I PULLED YOU OFF OF HER.
NO. MY HEAD DOESN'T HURT.
IT'S JUST... EMPTY.
YOU TELL IT TO THE COPS.
I DIDN'T KILL HER.
WELL,
THAT'S GOING TO BE A HARD
SELL WITH ME AS AN EYEWITNESS.
YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU'RE NO KILLER.
THIS IS OUR QUARRY.
HE HAS THE ABILITY
TO ABSORB A PERSON'S MEMORY
WITH HIS POWERFUL GAZE.
PRECISELY.
FOUR OF MY BEST AGENTS
HAVE FAILED TO CAPTURE HIM.
BY THE TIME THEY APPREHEND HIM,
THEY QUITE
