THE ANTI-VIRUS.
WELL, WHY AREN'T
I FEELING RELIEVED.
THERE'S MORE TO
IT THAN THAT, ISN'T THERE?
I MEAN, YOU MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO SAVE HER THIS TIME, BUT...
I MEAN, WE'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT OUR MUTATIONS LEAVE US OPEN
TO, WILL WE?
THERE'S NO GUARANTEES
IN LIFE, EMMA.
NOT FOR NEW MUTANTS.
NOT FOR ANYBODY.AH, NOTHING.
WELL, SO FAR,
IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE A TRAP.
MAYBE THIS KID'S
ACTUALLY ON THE LEVEL.
I CAN'T BLAME
HIM FOR BEING CAREFUL.
CONSIDERING HOW ASHLOCKE
TREATS HIS FRIENDS,
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW
WHAT HE'D DO TO A DEFECTOR.
WELL, BEFORE YOU BRING OUT
YOUR VIOLIN, LET'S JUST REMEMBER
THAT NOBODY ACTUALLY FORCED
THE LINKS TO GIVE THEMSELVES
OVER TO ASHLOCKE.
REALLY?
SURE ABOUT THAT?
WELL, YOU KNOW,
I'M JUST SAYING LET'S...
JUST MAKE SURE THAT THIS GUY
REALLY WANTS TO BREAK FREE OF
THIS SOCIOPATH BEFORE
WE LET OUR GUARD DOWN.
OKAY?
STOP!
STAY WHERE I CAN SEE YOU!
SURE YOU WEREN'T FOLLOWED?
NO, IT'S JUST US.
WHAT'S UP?
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE WANT
TO GET AWAY FROM ASHLOCKE.
YEAH, THERE WERE TEN OF US.
ASHLOCKE GOT THE OTHERS
BEFORE THEY COULD ESCAPE.
I... I BARELY MADE IT OUT.
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
HE'S GOING TO DO TO THEM.
YOU GOTTA HELP THEM GET OUT.
WELL, YEAH, BUT WE NEED
TO KNOW A BIT MORE FIRST.
LOOK, I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
IT USED TO BE ABOUT ALL OF
US WORKING TOGETHER, YOU KNOW?
NOW, IT'S JUST
ALL ABOUT GABRIEL.
LOOK,
GABRIEL IS REALLY SICK, BUT
HE'S STILL STRONG, ALL RIGHT?
HE'S PLANNING
SOMETHING REALLY BIG.
HE CALLS IT HIS LAST TESTAMENT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
BUT WHATEVER
IT IS, IT SCARES ME.
WELL, WE SHOULD
GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
AH... AH... AH... !
AH... AH... AH... !
HEY. YOU OKAY?
YEAH. TAKE IT...
TAKE THIS. HELP THEM.
AH... AGH... NO...
ASHLOCKE, NO!
AGH.
YOU TRIED TO
STEAL ME FROM GABRIEL.
THAT WAS A STUPID MISTAKE.
ASHLOCKE'S GOT HIM!
JOSH, DON'T!
I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!
I KNEW YOU'D BE THE ONE TO COME.
YOU JUST CAN'T
STAY AWAY, CAN YOU?
THE LINKS ARE MINE.
YOU THINK YOU
CAN BREAK US APART?
OH, I FORGOT.
YOU DON'T LIKE
FIRE, DO YOU, SHALIMAR?
WELL, THINK FAST.
I HAVE BIG PLANS FOR YOU.
AH!
JESS, BRING IT IN!
SHAL'S IN TROUBLE.
AH... UH... !
HAH... !
COME ON! WE GOTTA GET OUT!
NO! WE CAN'T!
WE GOTTA GO! COME ON!
YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!
THIS THING'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE!
WE'VE BUILT SOMETHING HERE
THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
WE HAVE A POWER
THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE.
LOVE, DEVOTION, AND
A LOYALTY TO OUR OWN KIND,
THAT SOCIETY
COULDN'T EVEN DREAM OF.
YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONES.
YOU'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING
TO REACH OUT THERE AND GRAB
THE DESTINY THAT WAS BUILT
INSIDE YOUR GENETIC STRUCTURE.
BECAUSE THE ONES
THAT ARE RUNNING IT NOW,
WELL, THEY'RE ONLY ABOUT
GREED AND VOTES AND WEAKNESS.
BUT WE'RE GOING
TO CHANGE ALL THAT.
BECAUSE IT'S OUR
TURN IN THE BIG CHAIR.
NO MORE RUNNING AND HIDING.
WE'RE THE MAIN ATTRACTION.
TOP OF THE BILL.
BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE MIRACLES
HAPPEN, THE KIND OF MIRACLES
THAT MAKE PEOPLE
WANT TO STAND UP AND CHEER.
THE KIND OF MIRACLES
THAT WILL KEEP DOWN ANYBODY
THAT STANDS UP AGAINST US.
WHAT'S COMING
NEXT IS GOING TO TAKE ALL
YOUR STRENGTH AND COURAGE.
SO GET READY BOYS AND GIRLS.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
DESTINY IS ONLY A BREATH AWAY.
KID DIDN'T HAVE CHANCE, ADAM.
ASHLOCKE KNEW HE'D BE THERE.
HE WANTED US TO
SEE WHAT HE COULD DO.
YOU KNOW, AS HIS CONTROL OVER
THE LINKS HAS GROWN STRONGER
OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I THINK
HIS MADNESS HAS GROWN WITH IT.
I DON'T KNOW.
THE KID WAS TALKING ABOUT
SOMETHING ASHLOCKE WAS PLANNING,
SOMETHING CALLED
HIS LAST TESTAMENT.
YEAH?
WELL, ACCORDING
TO MY PROJECTIONS,
HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME LEFT
TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH OF ANYTHING.
WELL, GOOD.
MAYBE I CAN GET
THIS GUY OUT OF MY HEAD.
HE KEEPS TOYING WITH ME.
WELL, BECAUSE, ONCE
HE TUNES INTO YOUR MIND,
TOUGH TO GET HIM OUT.
YEAH, NO KIDDING.
WELL, I'M HOPING THAT AS HIS
PHYSICAL CONDITION DEGENERATES
HIS PSYCHIC ABILITIES
