X-Men HCs

A/N: my hyperfixations are not very hyperfixating rn. literally they’re changing so fast. But take some nice little relationship headcanons, and the next Chapter of Winters’ Servants is coming soon!!

Characters included: Logan (Wolverine), Scott (Cyclops), Kurt (NightCrawler), Jean

Warnings: potential OOC, nothing else really. kept it nice and light.

Logan (Wolverine):

Logan would absolutely, if you use them, stretch out your new hairbands for you. If you express that you dislike using them unless stretched, he’ll offer to wear them on his wrists for a day or two till they’re stretched to your liking. It could be the most girly hair ties and he’ll proudly wear three on each wrist. When asked, he’ll happily tell them “Just stretchin ‘em for my woman/man/partner”

Scary dog privileges? Scary dog privileges. He adores making you feel safe enough to wear the most skin revealing or feminine clothing. You want to wear something revealing/very feminine but tell him you're scared? He’ll instantly assure you and tell you to wear anything you want. If someone says something, he won’t hesitate to shut them up before you even hear.

There’s going to be a point in your relationship that you’ll realize he absolutely doesn’t care about any of the gross stuff you do. Burp, Fart, don’t shave? He really doesn’t care in the least bit. Definitely the boyfriend that will go, unphased, into the bathroom while you're on the toilet and brush his teeth or shower without a care in the world. If you are comfortable that is, and he secretly preens when he realizes that you're comfy enough to do that stuff around him lol.

I wholeheartedly believe that when he realizes he wants you to be his forever partner, he’ll gift you his dog tags. His past is very personal to him, because he could never remember it for a good part of it. His dog tags are only second to him getting down on one knee.

Speaking of getting down on one knee, sorry for all the people who want it to be a surprise, but he won’t make a big deal and will tell you about his plans beforehand. No surprise engagement, and no public one. Not because he doesn’t care, but because he wants to make sure you’re ready and want it too. He doesn’t put much on marriage because it doesn’t change much, and doesn't want you to feel pressured to say yes because there are people there. He’ll love you the same married or not, but he does note how pretty you look with the ring he bought you on your finger.

I personally believe he would be more likely to get in a committed relationship with another mutant. I just think a lot of the X-Men would want to be able to relate to their partner and have their partner relate to them, and Logan is going to live a long life so…I can't truly see him with a normal person.

If you are apart of the X-Men, while he won’t baby you or anything, he finds himself keeping an eye on you the most. There have been a fair amount of times that you find yourself having a Logan shield on the field, and even more often if you are susceptible to projectiles.

Dates are a norm at this point, Fridays are always the day he takes you out. It’s usually the same place, but he thinks it’s nice.

Flowers are also a norm, if you mention you like them.

He doesn’t do much on Valentine’s day because he already does all the normal valentine’s day stuff it weekly or bi-weekly. Does get cheat food so you guys can eat it and watch stupid rom com movies though.

Scott (Cyclops):

First and Foremost Scott is such a golden retriever. Anything you want, he obtains quickly and with 0 thoughts of you getting him something in return. He just wants to see his partner happy and healthy, with a smile on their face as often as possible.

He is very big on PDA, likes to hold your hand, or slip an arm around your waist, put his hand in the back pocket of your jeans, etc. Overall he just likes touching you, and just because you're in public doesn’t mean anything.

Adding on to his liking of PDA, I feel like he’s possessive. Like in the one X-Men movie, when Logan goes into the past and stops bad shit from happening and goes to touch Jean and he blocks him? Yeah he does that with you but with everyone. He likes people knowing your his and what’s better than you two being attached at the hip in public?

He likes when you wear his things as well, not so much for people knowing you’re his like mentioned above but just because you're adorable in it. Want his sweatshirt? He’s giving it to you even though it's negative 5 out. His cologne? Just take the whole bottle, even though it’s brand new. He’ll get another one!!

When he’s on missions and away, he gives you so many shirts and even a pair of sweats. Sprays the stuffed animals he got you with his cologne, same with your pillows. He will expect the same if it’s you going away for a long time. Or you’ll come back to him sleeping on your side of the bed where it smells the most like you, his face stuffed in one of your pillows that has one of your shirts on it.

He is very vocal about being your boyfriend, and you being his partner. Everyone in the world knows, yet no one asked. He’ll gush about you to whoever will listen, the rest of the team is so done but they do admit his devotion to you is adorable.

All the ladies and gents and nonbinary pals who want an over the top surprise proposal, this is your man. It’s super romantic, he pays for your nails if you wear them, getting your hair done, and a new outfit. And you can’t even tell it’s because he wants to propose because he does this all the time. Then he takes you to your fav restaurant and pops the question.

Make no mistake though, he has to be 100% sure that you want him to propose to do so. He’s so attuned to you and your likings he gets your dream ring without having to ask everyone close to you first. Which also assures him no one can spoil the surprise.

He is one of the few ones who probably doesn’t care if you're a mutant or not, because his love is 100% blind. He would probably want a mutant partner, but once he falls he falls hard.

He also won’t baby you if you’re in the X-Men, but if he happens to laser them first? Not his fault.

Kurt (NightCrawler):

He is a very shy partner at first. But once he falls for you, and you make it obvious you have fallen for him it all goes out the window. He is a completely different person around you, confident and flirty. He is just so in love.

Teases you almost constantly, he’s a teaser with everyone but he loves to see you blush and squirm from his words.

Loves if you run your fingers through his fur, and almost emits a low purr when you do. If you brush it for him, especially if he doesn’t ask you but you WANT to, he swears he is going to marry you one day.

He takes you places you told him you wanted to go to when you guys were in the talking stage. Paris? Done, let’s get some baguettes for back home! The Bahamas? Pack a bathing suit, and make sure to bring the detangling brush.

He loves non sexual acts of intimacy, like taking baths together!! Your fingers feel like heaven on his scalp when you massage the shampoo and conditioner in his hair. He also loves touching your body, he’s always careful with the fact he has claws but he would never dream of hurting you.

Big on cuddling and all that stuff in private, but I feel like he would want to keep it behind closed doors. Not because he doesn’t love you, but because he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands on you otherwise.

Long missions with him are never a problem, he’ll just teleport to you wherever you may be and spend time with you before heading back.

He’s your call bird, and the gossip you two are able to share with one another? It is divine. He seems to know everything, and you know the most obvious stuff but he always makes you feel like Sherlock Holmes when you tell him things he already heard and was going to tell you about. Which is why he always makes you spill the tea first lol.

For marriage and proposing, I can see him accidentally proposing on a mission. Tensions are high, and he’s worried that one of you won’t make it home to the other. The thought alone makes him dread the upcoming battle, but he grabs your hand and looks into your eyes and states with all the conviction in the world “We’ll get married after this.”

You brush it off, after you both survive the battle, that he didn’t mean it. He just wanted you to know how much he loved you. But oh how wrong you are when you walk into a room with all your close friends and family, Kurt in the middle down on one knee and asking you to marry him. Your face was priceless, and lucky for him everyone took pictures.

He definitely carries around a photo with you wherever he goes, and when he prays he takes it out and not only asks that God protect him, but you as well because there is no life beyond you. Even if you’re not religious he’ll still do it, just for the peace of mind.

Jean:

She’s the black cat of the relationship for sure. I mean, she has a lot of issues but she always makes you her first priority.

She keeps tabs on you constantly. What’s your mood, why? She’ll talk to you in your mind when you’re anxious to calm you, and let you know that she’s there with you. She’s probably an anxious persons’ best friend. You don’t even have to talk, she knows what you mean and changes accordingly.

She is big on communication for sure. If you do something that bothers or hurts her feelings she will sit you down and talk to you about it. And she has this certain way of doing that doesn’t make you feel guilty. She’s just letting you know what she does and doesn’t like and won’t tell anyone else. These things are very private to her. And she expects you to do the same, and her feelings are never hurt by it.

Jean’s type of love is selfless. She would put herself in danger tenfold just to keep you safe. Mutant or not, she would be the one to baby you if you’re a part of the X-Men as well. There’s always a kind of bubble around you, that not many but you notice. Hence, people think you’re indestructible because you’re the only one who came back uninjured for the fourth time.

She wants to be independent, but also loves when you do stuff for her. She will never ask, but her heart warms so much when she sees you did something for her because you wanted too and not because she asked.

She plans your dream proposal. She is almost a roommate in your own mind, she knows what you like and don’t like.

Small extra blurb: imagine giving telepathic hints that you want a proposal. She thinks “Why are they broadcasting their ring si-ooooh. I see.”

She is so gentle with you, almost afraid that you’ll break and it’ll be all her fault. The way her hands gently caress you or how she holds your hand is so incredibly gentle.

Chariot Rides | Clarisse x Cabin 10 Girlie

Summary : When during the chariot rides and the magic border around Camp Half-blood is gone, crazy birds attack.

Warnings : pain, blood, crying, insecure thoughts and sayings

Notes : I have not slept all night, it’s currently 6AM and I’m halfway through Sea Of Monsters so this’ll be short. This could be a pt 2 to the other Clarisse scenario.

The chariots raced at top speed, each one targeting another. For being “Aphrodite’s girl’s” they were doing well, in a secure third place so far. Everybody assumed cabin 10 were just lazy, doing their makeup and hair, but they also trained, usually just earlier than any cabin would wake up at.

Ares’ was right ahead of the Aphrodite chariot with Athena following closely just behind. There was barely any space between said chariots and while cabin 10’s chariot was decked out in pink paint and white lace, it still held many weapons the opposite of its design.

As Lilani tossed her hand knives to jam the wheels of the Hermes’ chariot, causing the cart to stop despite their horses great attempts.

The birds in the trees called and cawed, as if an alarm. The birds in the trees—making a god awful radar-like noise—had gotten even louder, distracting all the chariots from attacking.

“What the…” Lilani said before the birds swooped down at everyone, pecking their beaks and chirping noise into their ears. The birds didn’t bother attack anyone on the chariots despite the speed at which they were all racing at.

The birds pecked at Lilani’s skin, picking small cuts and punctures into her once perfect complexion. She cried out in pain as the driver of her chariot crashed into a guard wall along the course, sending them flying out the car and crashing to the floor.

A pain shot up her arm, not one too bad but enough to throw you off guard. Barren, bloodthirsty birds still carved red streaks into her skin, making the girl try and get up to run away, only to fall a couple feet later.

She could feel as the razor sharp beak drag around her face, etching a long red, bleeding line across her eyebrows and down her eye.

Ares’ chariot had a net above it, protection from the killer birds but when Clarisse heard Lilani screaming, she faltered for a second, allowing Athena to pass by into first. Annabeth stuck out her tongue at Clarisse for a moment. “Stymphalian birds!” Annabeth yelled from her chariot.

“They’ll strip everyone down to bone if we don’t drive them away!” She yelled at Percy, who—by the looks of it, was trying to calm down Tyson his cyclops brother. “Tyson, we’re turning around!” Percy yelled, grabbing the reigns from Tyson’s hands.

When Clarisse realized what that meant, she frantically looked around, desperate to find Lilani before it was too late.

“Going the wrong way?” Tyson frowned. “I’m sorry.” He dipped his head down, one eye with a tear on each side.

The Poseidon and Athena chariots ran off the tracks, towards the stands where Annabeth yellled “Hero’s to arms!” But no one could hear her.

The Ares’ chariot stopped long ago, losing the victory they would've had. Lilani was still trying to get up and to safety but always fell after around 10 feet. “Lili!” Clarisse called, trying to look through the mayhem and birds swarming her for her lover.

“Clarisse!” The screaming girl cried out, finally being able to stand up without falling back down like a domino. Her arms flailed around as she tried to push the birds away from her.

Lilani ran as fast as she could from the birds and to anywhere safe, the water, the cabins, anywhere. The cabins were the closest so, she ran as fast as she could until she was in the cabin and shut the door behind herself.

Before she even realized how much pain she was in, she looked for the closest mirror and into her reflection. What she looked into wasn't herself anymore, it was a girl who was cut, bleeding, and bruised and-

"Ugly..." She whispered, fingers delicately dragging along her own face, outlining every imperfection that was once perfect.

The cabin 10 door opened slowly while Clarisse popped her head in. "Lili?" She asked softly, stepping into the cabin and nearly letting out a gasp at the sight of her holding a mirror, crying and whispering "I'm ugly again."

"Lili..." Clarrise--as gently as she could--placed her and on Lilani's shoulder, careful not to hurt any unseen injuries. The girl jumped at the touch only to realize it was only Clarisse. But Clarisse was the last person she wanted to see.

"Mom's gonna be so mad at me." Lilani cried into Clarisse's shoulder as she wrapped her arms around her. Not knowing what to do, Clarisse just combed her fingers through her lover's hair--which was now tinted red from blood.

"I'm gonna go grab a washcloth okay?"

Lilani hummed in response.

Clarisse had tried as carefully as she could to clean Lilani's wounds, not wanting her to be in any more pain but there was only so much she could do. "The cuts aren't deep at all, they should heal well with scars."

"Scars..." Lilani's head dipped down. She hated scars, she thought they made you ugly. "I'm gonna be ugly again. All the other girls will laugh-" "You aren't ugly. I think you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen." Clarisse smiled.

"Really?" The (h/c) girl blushed. "Of course."

Original Niffty and my version for comparison. See my redesigns masterpost for more info and other designs.

If Niffty is supposed to be bug inspired, I don't know why she doesn't have a bug antenna, it makes the inspiration very obvious. Polka dots help Niffty to play on a word "ladybug", being a literal lady-bug, but she is actually a cockroach.

I leaned into a 50's housewife with the dress. It also looks like a maid uniform.

Since the "atomic age" and "nuclear family" I think that mutant/radiation could relate to her one eye, since with just a bug insp. she doesn't have to be a cyclop. She's a cockroach that survived a nuclear blast. And I made the eye that toxic waste green color. I don't think that it has to do anything with her mortal life necessarily, it just represent her bizzare nature. Also I saw a Niffty redesign (link) that has a UFO inspiration for the same purpose. So yeah, a mutant/alien vibe for the weird girly.

I'm thinking to make her limbs a dark brown or smth, so it's easier to see when they overlap.

Hazbin Hotel: The Contract of Blood Ep. 15

*Hey guys! We're back with another episode/chapter. This is published on April 15, 2024. If you like this episode, don't be afraid to reblog, heart it, and comment! That would be wonderful. Warning: Vulgar language, mentions of abuse, and making out. Enjoy.*

Episode Fifteen: Time to Rise

Rosie leads Husk, Alastor, Nifty, Angel, Emily, Sir Pentious, and Cherri to the direction of Cannibal Town.

Up ahead, Alastor notices an invisible shield around the town.

“My, my, how did you know that this chaos will enfold sooner than later?” Alastor asks Rosie.

“I just knew. Heh, if I have the full power, I would’ve shield all of Hell from this chaos,” Rosie responds.

Husk listens to the answer, blinking in shock at the answer. Before he can make a comment, a sudden vision of two Liliths fighting each other, gold licorice blood everywhere invades his mind. He stumbles a bit and grabs his head.

Angel notices this and arches a brow. “What did you see, Husky?”

Husk looks up at his boyfriend and holds his hand. “I’ll tell you later, babe.”

Once they enter Cannibal Town, Emily sticks closer to Sir Pentious and Cherri.

The short cyclop notices this.

“Hey, they ain’t gonna eat you alive, girlie,” Cherri reassures Emily.

“Really?” Emily questions.

Sir Pentious nods his head in reassurance. “Yesss. Just don’t get on their bad ssside and you’ll be just fine.”

Emily shivers at the answer. “How would I get on their bad side?”

Alastor enters the conversation. “If you try to eat their limbs, they’ll eat you back. They’re better in numbers than individually.”

The cannibals notice Rosie’s return.

Rosie looks at the group. “We need to try rallying them up to battle.”

“That actually sounds easy,” Angel responds.

“Oh, I wouldn’t underestimate them. In order to convince the cannibals to fight with you, you have convince them all,” Rosie replies.

“That’s including Susan,” Alastor adds with the distaste of the name.

“Susan?” Husk questions Alastor.

“Can I stab her, sir?” Nifty asks while raising a knife.

“As much as I would love the idea of that, I wouldn’t do it for Rosie’s sake,” Alastor responds.

Rosie raises her staff, summoning the cannibals with her to the gazebo in the middle of the town square. As the group stands in the gazebo, Rosie turns to her friends.

“So, who wants to convince an entire group of cannibals?” Rosie asks the group.

Alastor shifts his gaze at Husk. “Oh, Husker.”

“What?” Husk utters.

“Maybe you can convince the townspeople with your buttery voice,” Alastor teases Husk.

Husk shifts uncomfortably in his stance. “Uh, I'm not sure if that's a good idea.”

Sir Pentious notices Husk's movements and slithers beside him. “I can do it.”

“I can do it too,” Emily chirps. “I have a class based on diplomacy.”

Cherri arches her left side of her only brow. “Are you sure you're up for this, kid?”

“I'm not a kid,” Emily says with confidence.

Emily stands in front of the group of cannibals. Alastor hands her his staff that has the microphone attached to it.

Emily takes the staff awkwardly and sighs. “Okay--oh, that’s a little loud. Um, hello, my name is Emily. Former angel, uh, hi! Um, I kind of new here, so I--”

“BOOO!” A random voice shouts.

The crowd disperses, revealing an old lady cannibal in her dead fox scarf and blue dress.

Emily arches a brow and looks at Rosie and Alastor. “Susan?”

“Susan,” both Alastor and Rosie responds simultaneously in deadpan tones.

“Okay,” Emily says and clears her throat. “Anyway, as I was saying--”

“BOO! Get off the stage, bootleg version of Charlie!” Susan curses at Emily.

Emily clears her throat. “Anyway, I’m here to talk to you all about--”

“BOO!!! Get an adult to make a speech!”

“I’m a fucking adult, you bitch!” Emily shouts in irritation.

Emily’s eyes turn red while her wingspan grows larger. Before she goes in for the attack, Rosie grabs her shoulders.

“Okay, okay, let's take a moment to breathe,” Rosie says calmly and pulls Emily aside.

“That fucking bitch,” Emily grumbles.

Sir Pentious raises his hand. “I can go next.”

“Good luck,” Cherri whispers to her snake boyfriend.

Sir Pentious slithers up in front of the audience. “Well, hello, fellow cannibalssss!”

“BOOO!!!” Susan shouts.

“Uh, okay, I’m here to addresssss the elephant in the room,” Sir Pentious continues. “Susssan, what’sss your problem here?”

“Why do you talk like a retard?” Susan questions.

“I’m a ssssnake!” Sir Pentious barks.

“RETARD!”

“BITCH!!!”

Rosie hurries besides Sir Pentious. “Okay, okay, let’s not fight each other. Take a seat, Sir Pentious.”

Pentious huffs and slithers back to sit next to his girlfriend.

Alastor looks at Husk with a smug grin. “You’re up, Husker.”

Husk groans. “Great, now I got to deal with the bitch.”

He shuffles his feet up in front of the audience and sighs deeply. “Okay--”

“BOOO!!! Get the cat off the stage!!!” Susan shouts.

Husk takes a deep breath, his patience wearing thin. “So, look, we need your help to stop Morrigan and Orais--”

“BOO!!! Charlie is better than all of you!!!” Susan barks.

Husk’s eye twitches and he changes the script. “You know what I see?! A bunch of pussies!”

The cannibals gasp in shock while Rosie slaps her forehead in discouragement.

“Yeah, you heard me! A bunch of pussies!” Husk adds with a firm tone. “You fucks are willing to let an old bitch-ass woman decide whether you should go into battle or not!”

Alastor smirks wider while Angel clenches his teeth in fear for his boyfriend.

“You don’t even have brains of your own!” Husk shouts at them.

“BOO!!! Get the cat off of the stage--”

“And you!” Husk growls, his eyes turning green. He flaps his wings over to Susan and stands close in front of her. “You’re just a bitter old woman who has nothing better to do than to criticize everyone else around her. I bet something happened in your years of living that makes you this bitchy. I bet you are a bitch-ass motherfucker who decides to abandon her kids to your abuser husband instead of saving their damn lives! If it weren’t for the fact that your kids actually crawl of that abuse alive, they would’ve been dead and their blood is on your hands forever! I bet you killed yourself knowing that you’re a fucked-up whiny bitch that no one in the world wants to be around!”

Everyone has their jaws dropped except for Alastor.

Susan seems dumbfounded by Husk’s accusation, tears edging out of her eyes. “I love my kids.”

Husk widens his eyes, the green fading. “W-What?”

“I love my kids. I would never abandon them. Certainly not with an abuser of a husband. I would kill him and eat him alive,” Susan responds, now with sass in her tone.

Husk relaxes his shoulders until he hears a loud gasp from Emily behind him.

He looks behind him to find an familiar blonde woman. She has looks like Charlie except her blue eyes stare into his yellow ones. Her cannibal mask has fallen off of her face, the black eyeballs rolling on the floor. She appears to be crying, not realizing her disguise is taken off.

Emily covers her mouth in shock while Pentious, Angel, and Cherri stares at her in confusion.

Nifty giggles a little in excitement at the sight.

Alastor sips his teeth and leans to the side. “Your disguise fell off, Rosie.”

Husk lets a gasp escape from his lips. His vision is bombarded by the sight of two Lilith’s fighting each other while Charlie watches in horror. Charlie is held back by the green chain connected to the ground while Vaggie is trying to break up the fight.

Husk screams and falls onto the ground, holding his head.

“HUSK!” He hears his friends and his boyfriend call.

Angel slides by his boyfriend’s side. “Baby--Baby, can you hear me? BABY?!”

Everything fades to black for Husk.

~.~

Husk wakes back up at the old house in his human form again, seeing his mother sitting across the table and putting together more pieces.

“What the fuck is going on?!” Husk screams.

“Pieces. Finding more and more pieces,” his mother mutters.

“What the fuck are you doing in my head?! You should’ve been dead! Why the fuck are you in my head?!” Husk shouts at his mother while grabbing his head.

“You know, it’s disrespectful to talk to your mother like that--”

“You fucking abandoned me, bitch!” he yells, glaring at her. “You don’t deserve any respect! You don’t deserve any respect after what you did! Do you even have regret it when you left me?! You know what Pops did after you left?! He takes it out on me! He fucking beat the shit out of me! I wouldn’t have been alive longer if I stayed with him!”

“Why didn’t you try to find me--?”

“I DID!!!” Husk cries, tears streaming down on his cheeks. He can feel his black fur growing back on his body, but it seems natural now. “I’ve looked for you everywhere! I don’t know where the fuck you were at. And when I did find you, all I got was the cold shoulder.”

His mother softens her gaze at him.

“You said you don’t love me,” Husk croaks, his hands turning into claws. “You’ve kicked me out. You’ve disowned me. You want nothin’ to do with me. So, I just...gambled. And gamble and gamble and gamble until I can have all the wealth in the world. I want you to see that I was well. But you were dead by the time I had all that money to show you how fucking wrong you were to disown me.”

Husk starts to sob, teardrops falling on the wooden table. His cat ears grow from the sides of his head and his face contorts into a face of a cat.

“I just want you to love me again. I--I’ve blamed myself for you disowning me for years. Was it how I look? Was I a bad kid?”

His mother stops trying to put pieces together.

“Maybe that’s why you’re in my head,” Husk says, looking down to find the green chain around his neck. “Maybe that’s why I’m down here.”

His mother frowns at the sight of Husk. “You’ve always wanted a cat. But you couldn’t take it home in fear that your father will kill it.”

Husk glances up at her. “And how would you know that if you abandoned me?”

“I know everything about you. I am what you wanted, son. I can be your mother--” his mother transforms into the form of Angel Dust, fully clothed. “Or I can be him if you want me to be. Whatever brings you comfort.”

Husk widens his eyes. “I said I want the real Angel.”

“Yes, you did. The real Angel is outside of yourself now, pleading for you to wake up,” Angel says until he transforms back to Husk’s mother. “But I see that these two forms are the only people you have ever loved. One that triggers you and one that comforts you. Which one do you want me to be?”

Husk blinks and tilts his head. “Who are you really?”

“I Am. I Am the one who helps the angels create the Light that creates the Earth. I Am the one who breathes life into mortals like you. Sadly, most fall away and go into the dark.”

Husk blinks his eyes in shock. “W-Wait. You--You are--”

“I Am. That’s my name.”

Husk tilts his head. “You tricked me.”

“I Am what you see me as, Henry. How could I trick you if that’s all you see of me?”

Husk sighs shakily. “I want to see the real you.”

“As you wish.” The creature, I Am, transforms into what appears like an angel, except bigger than the angels Husk has seen. I Am’s figure shapes of a suit-up man without a head or face. Holes through his skinless palms and eyeballs forming around his missing head that is a bright glow.

“What do you think?” I Am asks. “Too freaky?”

Husk shakes his head. “You look...normal?”

“Oh, this is my normal look,” I Am responds while waving his hand. “Anyways, do you want to know how to stop Morrigan and Orais?”

Husk nods.

“The light is getting dimmer. It’s weakened from the corruption of Heaven as you know. It has caught my attention after the years of planning Earth’s end and a new Heaven. The End Times are to come soon, but not this soon. These visions of what will happen to each of your friends and those demons you called ‘friends’ will be due to their choices. Their choices will determine whether or not you all will save your homes from the couple.”

“You keep mentioning choices and puzzle pieces.”

“Yes, I always love those. It’s what keeps life interesting. Pay attention to the pieces and maybe you’ll find the answers you’re looking for.”

“Are you fucking kidding me--?”

“Language.”

Husk gruffs in annoyance.

“Gabriel gave you these powers to see into the future for a reason."

Husk huffs and looks at the pieces. Then he leans closer and finds a vortex sucking everything in one of the puzzle pieces.

~.~

“Husk...Husk!”

Husk wakes up from his dream to find that the group is in what is supposed to be Rosie’s shop. He looks up to find Angel cradling him his four arms.

“Hey, baby,” Husk says with a small smile.

“You alright, mate?” Cherri questions. “You just fainted, cried, and screamed.”

“You’ve nearly deafened half of the population,” Alastor replies with a deadpan tone.

“Lilith, what are you doing?” Emily asks in concern.

Everyone glances up to find Lilith tries to put on her face mask back on.

“Damn it,” Lilith curses.

“Everybody can see through you, Lilith,” Alastor adds with a groan. Then he smirks cheekily at Husk. “Thanks to Husker.”

“What the fuck? What did I do?” Husk questions, sitting up.

“When you used your ‘seeing through people’ powers on Susan, our dear Lilith’s disguise falls,” Alastor replies with a little giggle. “You must have shocked her so much that her disguise falls right off.”

“Fuck!” Lilith curses, struggling to put the mask back on.

“And now it won’t come on again,” Alastor adds with a smug grin at Lilith’s dispense.

Husk blinks and tilts his head. “Wait a second, you’ve abandoned Charlie?”

“W-Well--”

“Wait, if you’re the real Lilith, then who’s that up in Heaven?” Emily asks Lilith.

“The slut’s name is Roo,” Lilith responds with a deadpan stare ahead.

“Roo?” Angel probes.

“Look, we need to keep this a secret--”

“No!” Husk determines before sitting up.

“Husker--” Alastor starts to glare at Husk, but Husk pays him no mind.

“You’ve abandoned Charlie. Why?” Husk growls.

Lilith softens her gaze and looks away. “I--I can’t say.”

“Don’t you love her?” Husk probes almost angrily.

“Of course I do. More than anything!” Lilith says out loud. “Why do you think I disguise myself as a cannibal near the hotel I left her at? Or send Alastor to look after her while she’s building a hotel?”

Husk softens his gaze at her. “Were you trying to protect her?”

Lilith sighs. “I haven’t told her this when she’s a child. Luci and I...we weren’t getting along at the time. He’s so dark and broken. She’s so innocent. But the one thing we both did agree on was we are willing to protect Charlie from anything that can kill her. Even from people like Roo, Morrigan, Orais, and Adam. How can you tell a young teenager that she’s at risk because she’s our daughter? Even after we are casted down into Hell, there are still people that want to destroy us. Charlie deserves a better life.”

Lilith stares at the skinned mask with a crooked smile on the face. She caresses her soft hand over the cheek and continues, “I’ve left her at the hotel in the hopes that she can hide with unlimited access to the rooms and foods stored there.”

The group softens their gazes at Lilith, except for Alastor.

“You’re right,” Lilith replies to Husk. “I wasn’t the best mother. But I thought the best for her at the time. It’s my fault for not seeing it.”

“Then why do you want to keep your disguise up still?” Husk asks.

Lilith sighs. “Now that there’s danger out here, I don’t want them to know that I’m here. They’ll go after me--”

“Then you’re a fucking coward,” Husk responds.

“Husker--” Alastor growls, ready to yank Husk by the green chains.

Lilith signals Alastor to not be harsh on him.

“You have abandoned Charlie for, I don’t know, for seven years. You owe her an explanation. You can’t keep running from your problems. You can’t keep masking yourself just to hide. You have to face them eventually. You’re the Queen of Hell for God’s sake!” Husk replies.

Lilith frowns at the words Husk uses.

Husk looks away with a small huff. “Look, if you want to keep hiding while your people fight your battle, that’s on you. But just know that you owe this much for Charlie.”

Husk strides out of the shop. Angel, Emily, Cherri, Sir Pentious, and Nifty walk out with him.

Alastor glances at Lilith. “I’ll punish him for you, your highness.”

“There’s no need,” Lilith says, waving her hand to release Alastor’s chains. “I no longer need your assistance.”

“Wait for real?”

“You want me to chain you up again--?”

“Nope, I’m good,” Alastor responds, backing up.

“Good. Now go,” Lilith orders. “Eat all the souls you want, but remember, if you make any deals with Charlie again, I will fucking kill you. You understand?”

“Yes, your highness.”

“Good. Now leave me,” Lilith says sadly.

Alastor hesitates for a moment until he exits the shop to leave the queen to wallow in self-pity.

~.~

Husk notices the cannibals gathered around the gazebo still in confusion. He stands under the gazebo roof and faces the cannibals, gaining their attention.

He looks at Angel, Cherri, Emily, Sir Pentious, and Nifty.

Angel gives his boyfriend a thumbs up in support, earning a smile from Husk.

Husk turns to face the audience with a deep breath. “So--”

“BOO! Get off the stage, narc!” Susan shouts at Husk.

Before Husk has a chance to quiet Susan down, he hears a beating drum. He looks to the side to find Nifty drumming beside the group, who looks at her in shock.

Husk takes a deep breath and looks at the audience of cannibals, now singing.

“We’re under-attacked.

Hell is slowly freezing over

And we’re standing on thin fucking ice.”

The cannibals listen closely, quieting Susan down from her critics. Husk continues to sing as he walks down the aisle in between the audience.

“Morrigan and Orais is going to kill us all

If we don’t stand together and fight them.

Now I can see what’s ahead, but only barely.

I only know that they’ll destroy us.

No, I won’t let them kill the ones I love.

Oh, I have to be ready for this.”

The cannibals starts to nod to each other as if they’re in agreement with Husk’s words as he sings in more determined voice.

“Listen,

If it’s not us, then who will rise up against them?

If we don’t fight, then how will we survive this climate?

We have to be ready.

Be ready for this.”

The cannibals nod their heads to the intense beat of the music. Husk sings passionately with his fist in the air.

“The worlds are ending right now.

No, I won’t sit back and watch everything go dark.

We have to be ready

Be ready for this.”

Angel smirks and slides in to sing between the cannibals behind Husk.

“C’mon, ya chums!

Get out your teeths

For the all you can eat buffet!”

Sir Pentious slithers next to Angel and sings mischievously.

“We got holy armory and weaponsss.

Ssssuit up and march on!”

The cannibals starts to march while Husk sees them following him, including Susan surprisingly.

Emily clenches her teeth and sings with uncertainty.

“I hope they’re not prepared for what’s coming.”

Husk, Angel, Sir Pentious, Cherri, and Nifty sing in unison and with passion.

“Because we’re going to fuck them up!”

“That’s a bit vulgar,” Emily says.

Nifty continues to sing, ignoring Emily’s words.

“If there’s one thing they don’t have--”

Sir Pentious and Cherri sing together for their verse.

“It’s our skills and the bonds we share!

We got them, baby”

“That’s two things,” Alastor says, joining in the scene.

Husk sings in determination.

“We have to be ready for this.”

The group sings in unison.

“We have to be ready for this!”

Sir Pentious croons with a bright smile.

“And if, if we ssstick together,

We’ll survive the next day.

Here’s to a fight!”

From within the shop, Lilith notices the cannibals marching out of the city. A gasp escapes from her lips in shock.

Back to the group, Alastor sings to the others.

“This is our only chance to take down the power couple of Hell.

So, let’s not screw it up.”

The group sings in unison again.

“We have to be ready for this!”

Nifty starts drumming rapidly, earning a dance number from the group. The cannibals join the dance. Angel and Husk dance with each other in the middle of the street. Cherri and Pentious dance with each other along with Emily and Nifty.

Alastor smiles and sings after the music break.

“Look now, we have ourselves a support system.”

Sir Pentious takes out his sword and points it upwards while singing.

“Raissse the flags and march into the battlefield!”

Emily brightly smiles while marching with her new friends.

“We’re once weak, but we’ll be something else.”

Nifty chirps in excitement.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!”

Angel holds Husk’s hand to sing to him.

“We ain’t gonna let these chains stop us!”

Husk grips his boyfriend’s hand tightly.

“We ain’t gonna be losers, baby!”

Cherri pumps her arms up.

“Let the show go on!

They’ll see us ascend from the graves!”

The group shouts in unison.

“YEAH--!!”

The music stops as soon as the group finds Lilith standing in front of them. The cannibals stop their march idly in confusion.

Lilith sighs and sings passionately.

“I’ve fallen from grace for my rebellious nature.”

The beat drops once she starts to sing. The group sees Lilith coming to their side, standing next to Husk. She continues to sing passionately.

“As the queen of Hell, I’ve hidden my disguise well.

Never ready to face the world I’ve created.”

The group sings in unison around her.

“We have to be ready for this.”

Lilith smiles at Husk, who exchanges a smile back as she sings.

“For the past seven years,

I’ve watched my baby grow up without me.

More than anything, I want her to know

That I’ve not been far from her.”

The group sings softly besides her.

“More than anything.”

Lilith croons with her fists clenched.

“More than anything, I’m ready.”

Husk sings next with a smile.

“More than anything, I’m ready.”

Angel chirps next to his boyfriend.

“More than anything, I’m ready.”

The group sings in unison.

“More than anything, we’re ready for this!”

The music ends as the group and the cannibals poses as if they are ready for battle.

Alastor’s gaze turns into a deadpan stare. “Okay, let’s not pose here like idiots and fight this battle.”

“YEAH!!!” Nifty screams in encouragement while running ahead of them with a knife and cackling.

“Should we get her?” Angel whispers to Husk.

“Uh, maybe,” Husk answers with a shrug.

“Uh, Nifty, come back here!” Angel shouts while running after her.

Husk huffs up a laugh until he feels a hand on his shoulder. He looks up to see Lilith smiling at him.

“Thank you,” Lilith whispers to Husk.

Husk nods his head and leads the group and the cannibals forward to catch up with Angel and Nifty.

~.~

“You think the others are okay?” Charlie asks while pacing around the fortress.

“Babe, you worry too much,” Vaggie responds, trying to calm her girlfriend.

“What if they’re slaughtered or hurt or--?”

“I see them on the cameras,” Carmilla says while looking at the monitors that showed the cameras. Then she notices a familiar queen standing by Husk. “Holy shit.”

“What?” Vaggie asks before Carmilla opens the doors.

Charlie stands by the doors and watches them open. Once they’re open, it’s revealed to be Lilith standing by Husk. Charlie winces back with a scared gasp.

“I won’t hurt you, Charlie,” Lilith reassures her daughter quickly.

“Yes, you will, bitch! You already try to stab me--”

“That’s not me, baby,” Lilith responds.

“How do I know you’re not lying?” Charlie growls, her eyes turning red with white pupils while her horns grow on the sides of her head in distrust.

Vaggie stands beside her girlfriend and takes out her spear.

Lilith frowns and sighs until an idea strikes her. Then she does Rosie’s voice. “Don’t worry, dear. Auntie Rosie is here.”

Charlie’s glare turns into a stare in confusion as if she hears a sound that’s foreign to her. Then she sees the others beside her with Nifty holding up a mask of Rosie’s face.

A sudden realization settles in. Charlie’s eyes go back to normal with her horns going back into her head.

“Holy shit, Mom?!”

Lilith nods tearfully.

Charlie starts to sob and jumps into Lilith’s arms. “MOM!”

Lilith embraces her and picks her up. “I won’t let you go again, baby. I won’t let you go again.”

“Y-You don’t think I’m an abomination?” Charlie asks with sniffles.

“Of course not, dear,” Lilith coos and hugs her daughter, walking into the fortress with Charlie in her arms. The army of cannibals following behind Husk, Angel, Nifty, Emily, Sir Pentious, Cherri, and Alastor.

Vaggie widens her eyes to find the number of cannibals coming into the fort. “Holy shit, how did you guys manage to get them to follow you?”

Angel smirks and looks at Husk. “Husk ain’t bad at convincing people to take up arms.”

“I got some help,” Husk says while looking at the group with a soft look...except for Alastor.

Vaggie puts her hands on her fists. “We need to prepare for battle.”

“Right!” Sir Pentious says with a mischievous smile. “I wonder what Carmilla has in store still.” He slithers off to find Carmilla.

Cherri chuckles at her boyfriend and follows after him. “I gotta see if Carmilla got some holy grenades.”

Nifty laughs maniacally and follows both Cherri and Sir Pentious. “Holy axes! Holy axes!!!”

Everyone stares at Nifty in concern.

“Is she okay?” Emily asks.

“Yeah, don’t worry about her,” Angel reassures Emily.

Emily strokes her long white hair. “This might be bothersome during the battle.”

Vaggie corners a smile. “Don’t worry, I got you, girl.”

Vaggie leads Emily into the fortress to find a pair scissors to cut Emily’s hair with, leaving Husk alone with the Angel.

Husk presses his head against Angel’s side.

“You doing okay, Husky?”

“With you, yeah, I’m just okay.”

Angel blushes and smiles softly. “Glad my presence comforts you. What do you say? Maybe we can take this conversation somewhere private?”

“Ugh, get a room you two,” Alastor groans, earning glares from Angel and Husk.

“Oh, shut it, ya old bastard,” Angel replies while standing in front of Husk to protect him.

“Don’t make me use Husk to hurt you again,” Alastor threatens, his voice going static.

“At least I know it comes from you, asshole,” Angel growls and holds Husk’s hand.

Husk blushes and lets Angel pull him into the fortress.

Alastor scoffs. “Ugh, lovers.”

~.~

While Vaggie cuts Emily’s hair short, the others are getting ready for bed for the night.

Angel and Husk shares a room while they cuddle each other in silence.

There are so many questions Angel has for his boyfriend. Now he realizes that his boyfriend is having visions, he wonders what his boyfriend sees that no one else does. With a deep breath, Angel ruffles Husk’s hair softly.

“Henry?”

“Hm?”

“You did amazing today,” Angel compliments.

Husk huffs a laugh. “You helped--”

“But you managed to pull an army together. That’s no small feat, babe.”

Husk frowns when he thinks about what he has said to Susan earlier.

“I love my kids.”

A sigh escapes Husk’s lips as he sits up from laying on his boyfriend.

Angel notices this and frowns. “What’s wrong, baby?”

Husk hugs his legs. “I didn’t see through anyone today. I just projected my own pain onto her.”

“What are you talking about?” Angel questions while sitting up next to Husk. “What pain?”

Husk rests his chin between his knees. “I--I---” He tries not to tear up. “Damn it.”

Angel places his hand on Husk’s shoulder. “It’s okay, baby. You can talk to me, you know.”

“I know...but you’re going to think I’m crazy.”

“Babe, I’ve done and seen crazier things. I’m sure whatever it is, it won’t phase me.”

There’s a brief silence between them as Husk finally lets out a sigh.

“I keep seeing my mom in my dreams,” Husk confesses. “She left me behind with that dickhead of a father and disowned me a long time ago. But even in real life she did that, she’s somehow nice and caring in my head. Maybe I wished that. I mean, it’s revealed to be this...I don’t know how to describe him. I Am? Yeah. That’s his name.”

“I Am? That’s a strange name.”

“You’re telling me,” Husk says with a laugh. A frown returns his face. “These visions are starting to bother me. I keep seeing puzzle pieces of our future. I don’t know if they’ll come true. What if they all come true? What if they all show that you’re dead? That everyone in this damn place is dead? W-What if--?”

“Hey, hey, baby, don’t get lost in those thoughts. Okay? It’s okay--”

“No, it’s not. The world’s going to end and it’s only a matter of time before we all die.”

Angel winces at Husk for interrupting him.

Husk sighs and grabs his head. “I’m sorry.”

Angel holds him and rubs his shoulders with both of his hands. “If we all die tomorrow, maybe...maybe we can make love before that happens.”

Husk glances up at Angel in shock at how he phrases the words. Then he leans against Angel’s chest, shaking his head and tearing up more.

“N-No.”

“No?”

“No. If we do this now, then it’s like we’re saying goodbye to each other. A-And I don’t want to say goodbye.”

Angel frowns at his boyfriend to find him sobbing into his chest fluff. He caresses the back of Husk’s head, letting his extra arm limbs pull out from the middle of him while his top arms manage to move Husk’s face to look into his tearful yellow eyes.

“We don’t have to say goodbye, baby,” Angel says softly, using his middle and bottom set of arms to pull Husk further to get him closer to his face. “We don’t have to say goodbye.”

They both kiss on the lips. It’s soft at first until Husk crawls up and holds Angel’s face, kissing him deeper with small moans.

They pull away, staring at each other’s eyes with heavy eyelids.

“Wanna make-out?” Angel asks, his voice hoarse. “It doesn’t have to involve taking our clothes off.”

Husk caresses Angel’s cheek. “Yeah.” Without hesitation, Husk kisses his boyfriend’s lips. Angel wraps six of his arms around Husk’s body, holding his body closer to his. Husk falls over to the side while Angel moves his kisses to his cheek and travels under his jaw.

Husk lets out a small moan that would’ve turned Angel on and caused him to lose control. But for Husk’s sake, Angel keeps himself under control while his kisses trail onto Husk’s neck. Husk purrs while his fur stands on its end from the electrifying feeling of love.

Angel moves on top of Husk, kissing his fluffy chest. “You’re so soft, baby.”

Husk stares up at the ceiling, feeling his boyfriend’s lips on his stomach. When Husk shivers, Angel moves his kisses back to his chest.

“Sorry, baby,” Angel whispers while kissing his shoulder.

Husk can’t say anything without letting out small moans.

Angel smirks at hearing Husk moaning softly. “I didn’t think I was going to get you to moan so easily.”

“You know, you’re turning me on, right?”

“Heh, I have that way with people,” Angel responds.

“But I’m yours, ain’t I?”

Angel kisses Husk’s lips. Husk feels Angel’s six hands roaming through his body, with the bottom set of hands teasing around the waist as if he’s ready to take off Husk’s pants, but won’t since this is not what they agreed upon...unless Husk says he wants it.

Angel breaks away from Husk’s lips. “Of course you are. Am I yours, baby?”

Husk nods breathlessly.

“Good,” Angel whispers into Husk’s ears. “I want to be yours forever. I don’t want to be with anyone else right now. Just you.”

“Oh, fuck, please don’t leave me, baby~.”

“I won’t. I won’t. I’m right here.” Angel takes the straps of his suspenders off of Husk’s shoulders so that he can have more access to his shoulders.

“I thought this doesn’t involve taking our clothes off.”

“You’re not wearing a shirt, babe,” Angel teases. “Besides, I want taste your shoulders a little more.”

Husk hums when Angel starts kissing his shoulders. Both Angel and Husk stop their movements as soon as Angel feels Husk’s erection against Angel’s stomach. Angel looks down to find his hard-on is pressing against his pants and then glances up at Husk.

“Need help down there, baby?” Angel teases with a smirk.

Husk blushes madly. “Seriously?”

“Hey, I’m good at sucking cock--”

“Okay, you ruined the mood.”

Angel giggles at his boyfriend and kisses his fluffy face. “Aw, baby, you’re going to have let me suck down there eventually.”

Husk blushes at the thought of it. “Eventually.”

Angel smirks teasingly. “The world’s ending. It might be the last time I sucked a dick--”

Husk rolls his eyes playfully. “Okay, that’s enough out of you.”

Angel chuckles. “You know, I’m teasing, baby.”

“You better be.”

Angel kisses Husk’s neck, making his pants tighter. Angel starts to suck on Husk’s neck softly.

“I swear if you leave a hickey on me.”

“I won’t. Trust me,” Angel says with a little wink at his boyfriend.

~.~

Val is busy counting the bills in his office at Porn Studios, which he has to squint his eyes to look at through his red glasses. Then he feels chills down his spine. He looks to realize that the blue aura is glowing on his left hand.

“Huh? Someone’s making out at this hour?” Val responds. “I wonder who.”

Val throws the blue aura in front of him, getting him to reveal whoever is making out at this hour. But almost to his surprise, he sees Angel kissing Husk’s body with Husk moaning in pleasure. Val tilts his head and smiles evilly.

“Oh, you little slut,” Val replies evilly. He’s able to zoom out from Angel’s bedroom to find that he’s at a familiar fortress where the famous Carmilla Carmine lives. “Oh, this will be interesting.”

Val picks up the new contract for Angel's soul and heads out of his office.

NEW X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - SEASON 2, EPISODE 3

We open on the Xavier Institute in the middle of the night. Dressed in casual clothes, sipping a beer, and with a six-pack at his side, Cyclops is seated on the roof and looking up at the stars. We cannot see his eyes, but we do not need to to know the pain in them.

"Room for one more?"

With the grace expected of a goddess, Storm floats up to the roof.

Scott is unsure until Ororo warmly smiles at him. He can't help but smile back at her, and pull out another beer for her. Ororo takes it and sits down next to him.

The two sip their drinks and stargaze together.

SCOTT: "I miss her so much."

ORORO: "We all do. We can only hope that, wherever Jean is, whatever she's doing, she's happy."

Another moment of silence.

SCOTT: "Thank you. For still talking to me."

ORORO: "You did an awful thing. But, unlike someone else, you know it was wrong. It was a mistake, one with grave, unforeseen consequences, but not a mistake I expect you to make again."

Scott's smile widens as he hangs his head and thanks her again.

ORORO: "We'll get through these dark times the way we always have. As a team. When Jean eventually comes home, your wife and my sister returned to us, our family will be whole again. And then, we need not ever even speak the name, "Emma Frost" again.

Scott chuckles. He hopes that day comes soon.

Scott raises up his beer, and Storm clinks hers against it.

We cut directly to a large home in Mississippi, where Rogue kisses her mother, Irene Adler on the cheek.

The two are standing in the doorway. Rogue wouldn't look out of place on a runway, while Irene, a blind, frail old woman with gray hair in a bun, glasses to hide her eyes, and a sweet smile on her face, is dressed far more conservatively.

Rogue says it's been nice spending time with her again, but she really does have to get back to Remy. Irene understands, a wife needs to be with her husband, but asks her to please never be a stranger again.

ROGUE: "If you can avoid stayin out of any more trouble, that won't be a problem."

Rogue gives her mom one more kiss, before saying she loves her and flying off.

Irene waves goodbye and shuts the door, only to immediately shift personas, a sneer overtaking her face as she cracks her wrinkly neck.

Irene puts on her Destiny costume, grabs her sidearm, and dons her helmet, all the while growling about how much she hates Gambit, and how she, for the life of her, cannot understand what Anna-Marie sees in her.

In the basement, Toad, Blob, Avalanche, and Pyro - the Brotherhood of Evil - are gathered. It's been a while since they were all together, and they're all catching up. Pyro just got out of jail after three years, and is positively itching to burn something again. Avalanche says he should count himself lucky. He was living on Genosha, and only wasn't there when everything went boom because he was getting drinks with Blob. Blob meanwhile has been in therapy.

PYRO: "You're in therapy, mate?"

BLOB: "Mmhmm. You should consider it too, Pyro. For a Flatscan, Dr. Garrison is the best."

Toad laughs at this.

TOAD: "Well, while you've been talking about your fee fees, I totally banged Husk!"

PYRO: "The X-Men girlie?"

AVALANCHE: "Isn't she a kid?"

TOAD: "She's 19!"

The other three exchange glances.

AVALANCHE: "Oh. Well then I just don't believe you."

As Toad shouts back, he's quickly silenced as Destiny comes downstairs, the boys all terrified of her mere presence.

Now that Rogue is gone, they can get down to business. Her wife has been in SHIELD custody for months now, and she refuses to tolerate that any longer. The four of them are to break into the prison she's being held in and bust her out.

Blob wants Mystique free as much as they do, but he raises the obvious question: won't the X-Men come to stop them?

TOAD: "Eh, he's got a point, boss. You see who's on their team these days? I'm awesome, but I dunno if the rest of these guys are up to fighting them."

Pyro smacks Toad on the back of the head.

DESTINY: "Yes, on your own, there is no future I see where you can succeed. This is why I've enlisted someone else to lead this mission."

AVALANCHE: "And who's…that?"

The Brotherhood all strike looks of disbelief as they glance up the staircase.

The camera pans up a short, muscular, excessively hairy man in a white tank top and jeans, chomping a cigar.

LOGAN: "Sup, bubs?"

Back at the school, Cessily and Roxy are hanging out in Bling!’s dorm room. The two are seated on Roxy’s bed, her side of the room decorated with band posters, with instruments all over the place. Cessily has headphones on and is listening to a hip-hop track. She’s clearly enjoying it, bobbing her head along with it. Roxy is happy to just watch her reactions until the song finishes.

Cessily takes the headphones off and tells Roxy that the song was amazing! Roxy plays it casual and says it’s not perfect yet and her mom and dad are still working out the kinks.

ROXY: “Aaaand, once they have, I may have talked them into letting you audition in front of them for a spot as a background dancer in the music video.”

Cessily freaks out with excitement and anxiety. That’s so cool, but also does she really think she can do this? Sofia’s the dancer, not her. Roxy assures her she’s seen Cessily’s cheer routines, and she should be perfect. And if she isn’t, her parents already agreed to let her be an extra no matter what.

Cessily practically squeals with joy.

CESSILY: “Roxanne Washington, you are the coolest girl in the world.”

ROXY: “Girl, I know that already.”

She smooches Cessily. To her surprise, Cessily suddenly shrinks in her seat, partially literally, as her face falls. Roxy questions what’s wrong, with Cessily explaining that she’s so amazing, and this opportunity is incredible, but…

CESSILY: “What will people say? Won’t everyone hate that there’s a freak in the background? Dancers in music videos are supposed to be hot.” Cessily partially melts onto the floor. “Not sure how *anyone* could look at me and think that.”

Roxy holds Cessily, not caring one bit that Cessily is mostly goop right now, and tells her that, first off, she’s been starring in her parents’ videos since she was little. Anyone who had a problem with Mutants checked out a long time ago, and they’re still riding high as hip-hop royalty. And as for Cess herself…

ROXY: “You’re stunning. One of a kind. The most beautiful metal in the world.”

Cessily liqufies even further, but this time with a smile creeping across her face.

CESSILY: “You mean that?”

ROXY: “I never lie.”

Roxy detaches a piece of diamond from herself and sticks it into Cessily, tickling her with it.

Laughing hysterically uncontrollably, Cessily jovially tells her girlfriend to stop. Roxy only joins in the laughter.

We cut from Roxy laughing to Roxy shouting, as Bling! and her squad run drills in the Danger Room. The rest of Roxy’s squad consists of Pixie, Match, Indra, Loa, and Network. They are not doing well, with Roxy unable to hit the target circling her with her diamond shards, Loa unable to catch the target she’s supposed to disintegrate through, Match running out of steam before he can finish melting his assigned beam, Indra’s armor form unable to withstand the drone attacks it faces, and Pixie just getting scared of the drones she’s supposed to be fighting and flying headfirst into a wall.

PIXIE, rubbing her bike helmet on the floor: “Aww, thanks helmet. You’re always there for me.”

The only member of the squad who’s performing well at all is Network, who’s using her ability to interface with technology to shut down the other tests one by one.

Above the Danger Room, the kids aren’t the only ones who are frustrated. Scott is on his phone, shouting at the top of his lungs.

SCOTT: “Your vacation is over, Sunspot! Get back here, now! Northstar says he wants your spot, and I WILL give it to him!”

Scott hands up and takes a breath as he joins the rest of the teachers present, Hank, who’s squad this is, Iceman, who wanted to come see his oldest friend, and Emma, who was curious to see what Bling! had since she’s spending so much time with her squad now.

Beast knows it’s not what she was hoping to hear, but, no, Bling! Is, fittingly, quite close to Mercury’s skill level currently, not the rest of her little prodigies.

BEAST: “Of course, there’s no shame in one’s strength being in the lab.”

ICEMAN, obnoxiously eating a banana: “Yeah, we wouldn’t be able to do anything without you science dorks.” Bobby swallows. “Good thing to be getting your seat nice and warmed up for her.”

BEAST, unamused: “Mmhmm.”

Suddenly, Network is blasted across the Danger Room and into the opposite wall, hitting her head and getting knocked unconscious.

As everyone freaks out, Scott orders Beast to shut the Danger Room down and tell his kids to stay bacl. He questions what happened, but Beast isn’t sure. Before she ever set foot in the Danger Room, he’d made sure Network’s powers would never trigger any defensive response.

Scott pinches his forehead. He’s gonna go make sure Sarah is okay, and help calm the others, who are still visibly freaked out downstairs, but he wants Beast to make figuring out what happened and fixing it his top priority. No more kids are getting hurt inside these walls, dammit.

Beast understands, but Iceman wants to help. He may not understand any of this stuff, but there has to be someway an Omega can be useful. Besides, it’ll give them more of a chance to catch up.

BEAST: “Oh, that’s really not necessary.”

ICEMAN: “Come on, I don’t mind, it’s all chill.”

The others all groan at that.

EMMA, putting a hand on Scott’s shoulder: “Well, while you boys get to work, I have some new students to greet.”

SCOTT, swatting Emma’s hand off of him: “New students? I haven’t received any reports about any. Who’s bringing them?”

EMMA, clearly displeased with Scott’s attitude: “Oh, don’t worry about that. They have their own means of transportation.”

At an airport, a private jet lands. With a driver and limo waiting for them, attendants seeing to their luggage, and a carpet rolled out, five identical blonde teenage girls, sporting sunglasses, exit their place and enter their car. The limo rolls out and drives across New York City, until arriving at the Xavier Institute.

The girls get out and step through the school’s gates. As they remove their sunglasses and put them in their purses in unison, their eyes look like they’re all judging the school.

ESME: “This seems…”

SOPHIE: “...adequate.”

As the five strut toward the school itself, the bombshells draw the attention of the students who are presently outside. For one student, however, simply looking at these mysterious new girls isn’t enough, as he rushes up to them.

DJ, with a cocky shithead smirk on his face: “Hello, ladies! You must be new here. I’m Mark. I basically run this place. Want me to show you around?”

The girls smile as their eyes glow a familiar shade of blue in unison.

“Go jump in a well.”

Mark’s eyes flash blue for just a second.

DJ, with the dopiest dumbass grin on his face: “OK!”

DJ runs off to go jump in a well.

(AUTHOR’S NOTE: DJ was never seen again.)

As the girls laugh among themselves, they’re greeted by Emma.

EMMA: “The Stepford Cuckoos. A pleasure to meet you all.”

Pointing at them one by one, she makes sure she knows who is who. In the center of their arrangement is Sophie, at her sides are Esme and Phoebe, and on the ends are Celeste and Irma.

Emma notes that, with her now teaching Jean’s telepathy class, she’s gotten a chance to know an obnoxious, arrogant young man who thinks he’s the most powerful telepath of his generation. She hopes that her expectations for these five remarkable, well-bred young women are rightly placef, and they’ll be able to crush his dreams.

THE CUCKOOS: “We settle for nothing but the best, Ms. Frost.”

EMMA: “Girls after my own heart.”

Emma volunteers to show them around and introduce them to her current prized students, but they tell her that won’t be necessary. They’ve already ripped the knowledge of the campus’ layout out of the other students’ heads, and they already have a very good idea of who they want to be friends with.

Emma pays no mind as they all smile obviously evily.

In the Danger Room, Beast is going around opening to panels to examine the system’s inner workings. He remarks to himself about how this room has always been such a scientific achievement, always updated to be on the cutting edge of progress. Professor Xavier truly is a genius like no other. He hopes he can live up his standards on its maintenance.

While Beast says all this, Bobby stands behind him, clearly not paying attention and lost in his own little world. Hank notices.

HANK: “Bobby, are you even paying attention, or am I speaking to the air?”

BOBBY: “Sorry, sorry. Yeah, the professor was great…mostly. But come on! I wanna hear about what you’ve been up to, fuzz. Get it? Rhymes with cuz? And you’re fuzzy?”

Hank pinches his nose and tells Bobby that between teaching and his research, he hasn’t had time to “be up” to anything. Not anything he’d understand at least.

Bobby questions why it seems like Hank isn’t happy to have him around. Didn’t he miss him? As Hank starts to answer, he presses a series of buttons on a panel, which results in a trap door opening and the two men falling through it.

In Scott’s office, he’s hard at work as ever when Emma slinks in. She tells him to cancel his non-existent plans for the night, because she got them seats for the grand opening of the hottest new restaurant in the city. Scott flatly tells her he isn’t interested as he continues to type.

Emma questions if he really wants to do this whole dance AGAIN. She sees how he looks at her, she knows what he thinks about her, and she sure as Hell knows how she made him feel, so what’s the problem?

Scott doesn’t even respond.

EMMA: “Oh, is this about poor Jean? Still feeling sorry for how you betrayed her? Genosha’s destruction isn’t the only thing which would have happened without us. The second you rightfully obliterated Stryker, Jean’s fate was already sealed. Cassandra Nova had seen to that. She feels no guilt for what she’s done, not as we do. Unless you wish to tell me that you regret killing Stryker, and that it wasn’t the most freeing moment of your life, then you have nothing to brood over, and no reason to resist what you desire.”

Scott stands, not changing his expression.

SCOTT: “This isn’t you, Emma. I’ve gotten to see a different side of you, a side I care for, respect, and am grateful to have around…but this? Chasing after me when I’m not interested? That’s beneath you. So whatever game you’re playing, drop it.”

Scott heads for his door, only to stop momentarily as Emma responds.

EMMA: There’s no game. Not currently. I’m just looking for someone to play with.”

After hesitating for a moment, Scott exits.

Back in Bling!’s room, with class having gotten out early due to the accident with Network, she’s jamming out on one of her guitars. Across the room, her roommate, Pixie, has puffy, pink-furred, over-sized headphones on, is watching one of Sofia’s makeup tutorials and taking notes, her facorite stuffed animal, Mr. Dogbear, “watching” with her. Pixie’s side of the room is filled with flowers and many other stuffed animals.

When Roxy takes a quick water break, there are multiple simultaneous knocks on their door. Roxy puts down her guitar and goes to see who it is, opening her door to reveal the Cuckoos all smiling at her.

ROXY, confused: “Uh, can I help you?”

SOPHIE: “You’re Roxanne Washington. Daughter of Roy and Angel Washington. I’m Sophie Cuckoo. These are my sisters Phoebe, Esme, Celeste, and Irma. We’re going to be best friends now.”

ROXY, weirded out: “Riiiiight. Listen, it’s cool you guys are fans but you can’t just do…this. How about you come sit with my friends and I at lunch tomorrow? Sounds good? Good.”

Roxy starts closing the door, but Esme keeps it open with her high-heel.

PHOEBE: “We’re going to be famous Mutant pop stars one day. Like Dazzler. It only makes sense we get along.”

Just as Roxy is started to get freaked out by these girls, Pixie notices what’s going on and flutters over to them, taking her headphones off. She tells the Cuckoos their outfits and hair are really pretty, only for the Cuckoos to flash their eyes blue, and making Pixie’s flash blue for a second. Pixie spins around and, from her perspective, all of her stuffed animals have been mangled and torn apart.

Pixie screams hysterically as she flies over to them in tears.

PIXIE: “Mr. Dogbear! Everyone!”

As the Cuckoos giggle, Roxy questions what the Hell is wrong with them…only for her eyes to flash blue. An instant later, she’s pointing and laughing at Megan with her new best friends.

ROXY: “This is hilarious.”

IRMA: “We knew you’d think so.”

At a SHEILD prison in Arizona, two uniformed agents are having coffee in the break room. One of the guys mentions that they need to go feed the inmates. The other guy groans. He really doesn’t want Mutie duty again.

SHIELD AGENT #1: “Heh. Duty.”

SHIELD AGENT #2: “Real mature, Dave.”

The other agent doesn’t want to have to go near the Mutants either, so they play rock, paper, scissors for who gets to feed the human prisoners, and who has to feed the Mutant prisoners.

Naturally, Dave loses.

Mumbling and grumbling the whole time, Dave brings a food cart to the Mutant section of the prison. Along with season one villains such as Mastermind and Sabretooth, we get cameos from Lady Deathstrike, Black Tom Cassidy, Frenzy, and Nanny & Orphan Maker, all of whom are in SHIELD custody.

Simultaneously afraid and disgusted by all of them, he eventually arrives at Mystique. Her, he takes an extra moment on. He doesn’t get her. She was one of the good ones, helping the government capture dangerous Mutants. Why would she throw away the good thing they had going by picking a fight with the X-Men?

Mystique laughs as she seductively saunters over to the agent, a glass-quartz wall separating them.

MYSTIQUE: “Well, David, it’s really quite simple. Capturing Mutants was business. Desiring the death of your entire race? That’s what I dream of.”

The agent snorts. She should recheck the scoreboard. Mutants are the ones who look like they’re on the way out.

MYSTIQUE: “Perhaps. But your numbers are dwindling too. For instance, you’re about to be crushed to death.”

SHIELD AGENT #1: “Huh? What are you…?”

Blob crashes through the cieling and crushes Dave to death, leaving nothing behind but blood and gore underneath him.

BLOB: “Ooph. That hurt my butt.” He dusts himself off and stands up. “Rescue team’s here, Mystique!”

Mystique speaks as the rest of the Brotherhood drop down from their plane.

MYSTIQUE: “Of course you are. Just as she said you would be.”

In the school cafeteria, Cessily, Sofia, Sooraya, Brian, and Laura are at their usual table. Sofia is frustrated. She’s been pumping out more content than she has since she got here since she’s no longer spending so much time with Julian, but that jerk is all people are commenting about. They just HAVE to know how the “Mutant Prom King and Prom Queen” are doing.

SOFIA: “It wasn’t even a prom!”

Before this can be dwelled on too much, Roxy enters the cafeteria alongside the Cuckoos. Cessily enthusiastically calls over to her girlfriend to introduce her to her new friends, while Laura questions who these new girls are.

LAURA: “They’re cute…but they don’t smell right.”

Roxy and the Cuckoos turn their attention to the squad and laugh, before finding a different table.

CESSILY, confused and hurt: “Huh?”

BRIAN: “Hey, don’t panic. Maybe they just madea funny joke, and she wants some time alone with the girls.”

SOORAYA: “You panicked at the dance. I don’t know romance, but I know you can’t become afraid of everything.”

CESSILY: “Yeah. I guess. Maybe you’re –”

Before Cessily can finish that sentence, Sofia picks her up with her winds and flies the two of them over toward the Cuckoos and Bling!

SOFIA: “She does NOT get to do this too!”

CESSILY: “Sofia, wait, I don’t want to…!”

Cessily trails off as they land.

CELESTE: “Oh, look, Roxy. It’s your girlfriend and…”

SOPHIE: “Sofia Mantega. The most popular girl in this school. Of course, without your man, that won’t last.”

SOFIA: “Who do you think you are?!”

ESME: “Careful, Sophie. Get her too mad and she’ll try to kill us.”

Bringing up the Shaw incident partially shuts Sofia down.

ROXY: “They’re the Stepford Cuckoos. And I’m trading up.”

CESSILY: “Wh…what do you mean?”

Roxy laughs.

ROXY: “Sofia gets it. It’s why she brought you over here. You two are a matching set.” She mockingly waves at Cessily. “Buh bye.”

Cessily starts crying, as the Cuckoos cackle.

ROXY: “Honestly, I was just curious what you’d be like in bed. There are no other freaks as freaky as you out there. One of a kind.”

Cessily breaks down completely, sobbing and begging Roxy not to mean this, at which point Sofia utter a somber sigh and flies them both away, hugging her.

SOFIA: “It is going to be, Cessily. I will get you through this. I know what you need.”

In the school’s gymnasium, Scott is playing basketball with two members of his squad, Quill and Specter. The game of course is brought to a sudden end with Quill accidentally pops the ball on one of his spikes. While Specter gets mad at him cause that was HIS ball, Scott walks away to take a call.

On the other end of the line, we see Maria Hill, acting commander of SHIELD, on the Helicarrier. She informs him that Mystique is presently being broken out of prison by the Brotherhood of Evil, and the agents they have stationed there won’t be able to hold them off for long. They require immediate assistance.

Scott questions why they can’t handle this themselves. Maria answers that “The X-Men deal with Mutant problems” was the deal their predecessors made, and she intends for him to stick to it.

MARIA: “Not to mention, there’s someone with them we can’t do anything about.”

Scott raises an eyebrow.

We hardcut to a new Blackbird being geared up for takeoff. The only ones on board are Cyclops and Storm, and Scott is livid.

STORM: “You don’t wish to bring the others?””

CYCLOPS: “Kitty and Laura have enough on their plates. If Logan’s actually cracked, they don’t need to know. And we don’t need Bobby for this…or Emma. You shouldn’t have any problem dealing with the Brotherhood while Logan and I have a talk.”

STORM, calmly: “You had me, “or Emma”.”

The Blackbird takes off, heading for Arizona.

Iceman and Beast wake up suspended in mid-air in darkness, their arms and legs wrapped in metal cables.

Bobby notices where they are and asks if it’s weird that was the best he’s slept in ages. Beast ignores him and notes he has no idea where they are. He’s looked over the Danger Room’s schematics a million times, and he’s never seen anything about a lower level to it.

BOBBY: “According to Cyclops, the Professor hid a sister from us. Not too hard to assume he’d hide a scary basement or two.”

BEAST: “Hmm. Touche.”

Bobby says he’ll get them out in a flash and tries to freeze the cables, but no matter how hard he pushes, the ice melts. Hank tells him it’s no use. Between this and what happened to Network, he can only hypothesize a virus has caused the Danger Room to resist being examined or tinkered with, and with its ability to counter every X-Man’s powers, there’s nothing they can do. Not till someone comes looking for them, at least.

BOBBY: “Soooo, we’re stuck here?”

HANK: “That’s what I said, yes.”

BOBBY: “Right…so what fur brush have you been using? Cause I could definitely use it for my hair.”

Hank groans in annoyance.

At the Grindhouse, Cessily is crying her heart out to Sofia as they both have coffee. She just doesn’t understand why Roxy would do this. Sofia says she can’t understand herself, but maybe that Quentin kid has some points about people like her and Julian.

Cessily takes a deep breath in. She questions if Sofia is going to fight Bling! for her, with Sofia laughing that, no, she isn’t Noriko. Surge fighting Hellion didn’t make her feel better. Doing what she loves with a friend, and remembering that’s what’s important, did. So, they’re going to put together an Xavier’s cheer routine to do together to post on her Instagram and TikTok.

Cessily slightly smiles and says that’s a sweet idea, but she can’t. She’s a freak. She can’t put herself online. Sofia slams her hands down on the table. She insists that Cessily cannot listen to the cruel things Roxy said about her. She is beautiful, and she promises all of her Sofia Stans will say so as well.

CESSILY: “I don’t know. Also, I thought you were calling your fans Wind Babies.”

SOFIA: “People didn’t like it.”

CESSILY: “I didn’t either. I don’t like tihs name either.”

SOFIA: “Really? I am off my branding game.”

Now working here as a waitress, Noriko approaches her friends.

NORIKO: “Hey, Sooraya let me know what happened. Said she was telling me so I wouldn’t say anything insensitive or dumb. Anyway, you wanna know what I think you should do?”

CESSILY: “Nori, I appreciate the thought, but I’m pretty sure whatever you’re about to say is going to make me feel infinitely worse.”

NORIKO, slamming her hands down on the table: “YOU GO UP TO THIS NEW BITCHY BIMBO BRIGADE, YOU GIVE THEM A PIECE OF YOUR MIND, AND YOU DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO YOUR GIRL! THEY’RE MUTANTS! THEY PROBABLY USED THEIR POWERS ON HER!”

SOFIA, sighing: “Noriko, I’m helping her move on. Accepting the facts is the only way she will–”

CESSILY: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but you’re right, Nori. Yeah. The Cuckoos? I’m gonna figure out what they did to Roxy and save her from them!”

NORIKO: “Hell yeah!”

The two high-five as Sofia embarassedly put her face in her hands.

In the SHIELD prison, SHIELD agents fight a desperate, losing battle against the Brotherhood as they make their escape from the secure facility. The agency’s marksmen are useless as the Blob acts as a bulletproof wall to protect his team, while their martial artists are no match for the supernaturally agile Toad and Mystique, Avalanche and Pyro using their localized earthquakes and flamethrowers to ensure none of their enemies can even stay still.

This isn’t a fight. It’s a massacre.

All the while, Logan stands back and does nothing but seethe.

TOAD, taking a pistol from an agent whose neck he just broke and mockingly bowing as he hands it to Mystique: “Madame.”

Mystique takes it from him and, with a sadistic grin on her face, swiftly headshots the entire next round of agents to come for them.

They’re almost out the front door, when, at last, they’re stopped in their tracks by the appearance of Cyclops and Storm.

Blob and Avalanche shrink a little, nervous about taking them on, while Pyro and Toad appear excited to throw down. Logan is sneering right at Scott.

MYSTIQUE: “Cyclops. I’m glad you’re here. I’ve been waiting for another chance to kill you. And, would you believe it: there’s someone who wants to kill you even more?”

Logan steps forward and pulls out his claws.

ORORO: “Logan, do not do this.”

LOGAN: “Sorry, Stormy. This isn’t about you.”

As the two teams stare each other down, Cyclops fires the first shot.

In the school’s dance studio, the Cuckoos are performing a routine to the most soulless pop song imaginable, with Bling! cheering them on.

As the song enters its final verse, however, their speakers are unplugged by a pissed off Mercury.

The Cuckoos and Roxy all ground around and taunt Cessily, but she isn’t backing down. She doesn’t know who these girls are or what their powers are, but she knows Roxy would never act like she’s doing, and she would never, ever enjoy trashy music like she was just listening to.

CELESTE: “Aww, can someone not accept they were just used and tossed aside?”

PHOEBE: “Like a tin can?”

The Cuckoos cackle.

Cessily holds herself together, hard as it is for her, as she says she doesn’t care if they’re telepaths or just have mind control, but they’re going to undo it NOW.

Roxy gets right in Cessily’s face. She tells her to face facts. She was never into her cause she’s a loser. Although the Cuckoos did get ONE thing wrong.

ROXY: “We never slept together. Girl was a damn cheerleader, but she’s still a virgin. She’s as freaky on the inside as she is on the outside.”

As the Cuckoos all start mocking Cessily, she just utters, ”Please”, as she tenses up, grits her teeth, and clenches her fists.

SOPHIE: “I don’t believe she’s gotten the message yet.”

ESME: “Let’s teach her this time, Sophie.”

As Cessily struggles not to let her rage get the best of her, her eyes flash blue. She roars and stretches out her entire body to attack the Cuckoos, only for the quintuplets to effortlessly blast her away and nearly knock her unconscious with a single psy-blast.

Roxy hollers as the Cuckoos stand over the half-way melted Cessily.

IRMA: “You can believe what you’d like.”

CELESTE: “But we hope you get the message.”

SOPHIE: “Never fuck with us.”

Cessily cries as she further melts into the floor, as her tormentors strut away…only for her eyes to widen upon hearing what Roxy is shouting.

ROXY: “Ms. Moonstar! Wherever you are, we’ve got a problem! One of your kids just tried to kill the new girls!”

Cessily belts out a high-pitch screech of despair.

Back at the SHEILD base, the X-Men and Brotherhood’s fight has begun.

Storm is battling Mystique, Toad, Pyro, Avalanche, and Blob all at once. With what Storm can do limited by the confined space they’re in, Mystique and Toad’s taunts and difficult to hit natures, Pyro being able to manipulate his flames to move in any direction, Avalanche staying behind Blob, who’s durable enough to even tank Storm’s attacks, as he launches his seismic waves at her, they’re able to keep her busy, if nothing else. Still, Storm clearly has them all on defense, and it’s evident that they really do need all five of them to be a match for her.

While the Brotherhood are able to successfully keep the big gun busy, the main event of Cyclops vs Logan takes place further down the hall. For all of Scott’s skill and precision, he struggles to land a hit on Logan with his beams, while Logan jumps around his attacks and picks key moments to move in and kick Scott around.

Scott questions what the Hell Logan is doing, with Logan spitting back that he’d have loved to ask him the same thing before it was too late.

SCOTT: “Wiat…is this about Jean?!”

LOGAN: “What else would it be about?!”

Logan manages to slash Cyclops across the chest and, while he’s stunned, kicks him to the floor.

LOGAN: “She trusted you!”

Scott can only cringe. He knows he cannot defend himself.

In Dani’s classroom, Mercury continues to cry as she’s chewed out for attacking The Cuckoos, with no knowledge of how she was manipulated into doing so. Dani is starting to think therapy should be mandatory for every kid who went out to fight the sentinels, because she knows they’re good kids, but they just keep on acting out.

DANI: “Two weeks detention, Cessily. I’m sorry.”

CESSILY: “WHAT?!”

DANI: “You didn’t nearly destroy the school like Noriko, so you’re getting off easy by comparison. But you can’t do this again. No matter how much you’re hurting.”

Cessily sniffles.

CESSILY: “I’m sorry, Miss Moonstar. I don’t know what came over me. It’s like one second I was just angry, and the next, I felt like I HAD to hurt them.”

DANI: “I know, but…” Dani trails off as she has a thought. “Cessily, you said Roxanne only started acting differently after The Cuckoos showed up, right?”

Cessily nods and tells her that just this morning, Roxy was arranging with her parents for her to audition for their next music video, but she guesses that was a lie.

Dani, without another word, proceeds to give a call to Roxy’s father. We only see Dani’s side of the conversation, but all she does is check to see if Roxy was lying or not. Of course, she was not.

With Cessily still deeply confused as to what’s going on, Dani hangs up and hops onto her computer. Cessily questions what she’s doing. Dani pulls up The Cuckoos’ file and the audience gets to see two of Emma’s notes about them: 1) They’re among the most gifted telepaths she’s ever met, perhaps on the same level as Captain Britain, and 2) They have sociopathic tendencies.

Dani smacks her desk.

DANI: “God dammit.”

CESSILY: “What’s going on?”

Dani gets up and tells Cessily to follow her. She’s not the one getting detention today.

Iceman and Beast are still stuck in the under-level of the Danger Room. Bobby asks Hank if he’s seen any good movies lately. Hank doesn’t answer. Bobby asks Hank if he’s built anything cool lately. Hank just sighs. Bobby, starting to get a little pissed at his old friend’s attitude, begins whistling obnoxiously.

Hank tries to ignore it, but the longer Bobby goes, the louder he gets. And, eventually, Hank snaps.

HANK: “Would you quit it with that infernal, brain-rattling whistling?!”

BOBBY, instantly shooting back: “Only if you tell me what your problem is! You’ve had a stick up your butt ever since I got here. What, have you come so far as a scientist that I’m too low brow for you now? You’re too good for me, so you don’t want me around?”

HANK: “No, I DON’T want you around, but it has nothing to do with me.”

BOBBY: “Then why?!”

Hank sighs.

HANK: “When I got the call from Jean that the school would be re-opening and the X-Men would be re-forming, I was thrilled. I thought it would be just like the old days, but better. But…they aren’t. They’re so different, I’m not even sure I fully comprehend them. What I understand is that we’re moving in the wrong direction. And anyone who’s on this ship when it reaches its endpoint will be worse for it.”

There’s a pause as the atmosphere becomes more somber.

BOBBY: “Look, if this is about Scott and Emma–”

HANK: “Not just them, but…yes. And please, do not try and defend their actions to me. As far as I’m concerned, the man who’d cheat on Jean and who’d murder a woman, even a monster like Cassandra Nova, in cold blood, is not the Cyclops we grew up with.”

Another pause.

BOBBY: “So what are YOU still doing here then?”

BEAST: “I’m seeing out the rest of the school-year for my students. I’ve already arranged for Forge to come and take my place come September.”

BOBBY: “Damn. It’ll suck not having you around, but I’m not going anywhere.” Bobby chuckles. “And hey, when things do work out for the best, I’ll be able to laugh in your face that you were wrong about something for once.”

Beast smiles remorsefully.

BEAST: “I’ve never hoped for you to make stupid jokes at my expense more.”

Storm continues to battle the Brotherhood, but the fight doesn’t last long.

Toad hops on Storm’s back and sniffs her hair, poorly flirting with her as he asks what shampoo she uses, because it’s making his heart go crazy, only for her to blow him away with a fierce wind, sending him flying into Pyro, and launching them both down the extended hallway headfirst into a wall, knocking them both out. Without Pyro as backup and Toad’s distractions, Avalanche is defenseless as Storm takes him down with a single lightning blast.

STORM: “Dammit.”

Ororo realizes in the middle of the action, Mystique abandoned her team and made a run for it. She goes to fly after her, but Blob attacks. Storm proceeds to just lift him off the ground, leaving him to wiggle his legs, as he’s left helpless.

BLOB: “Hey! You let me go, now! I’ll knock your head off!”

STORM: “Fred, weren’t you in therapy?”

BLOB: “I still am! Just here supporting my family.”

STORM: “You may have meant well, but this destructive behavior under any circumstances will only ever set you back. You need to cease being a super-villain if you wish to make progress. Do you understand?”

BLOB: “I…you…yeah. Sorry, Storm.”

STORM: “It’s okay.”

As Fred smiles, Ororo grabs his face and electrocutes him at point blank range until he’s unconscious.

With the boys all down, Storm calls out to Cyclops, who’s barely holding his own against Logan in hand-to-hand combat, that she’s pursuing Mystique, and flies off.

As Logan and Scott continue to fight, their conversation continues. Scott tells Logan that he knows he messed up. No matter what he was feeling toward Emma at that moment, he shouldn’t have betrayed Jean.

SCOTT: “And if you think I haven’t been beating myself up for what I did every second since it happened, then you don’t know me at all.”

LOGAN: “Guilt doesn’t make things any better, Bub.”

SCOTT: “No, it doesn’t…but isn’t there also a reason she chose me over you?”

As Logan loses his cool completely at that and attacks more like an animal than the master martial artist he is, Scott is finally able to land a blast on him and put distance between them.

Scott tells Logan that he knows he loved Jean just as much as he does, and that Jean loved him back, but while Scott may have hurt her worse, Logan hurt her first.

SCOTT: “Or do you think she didn’t end things with you for good because she couldn’t stand your attitude? Your jealousy, your sense of “ownership”, and the way you’d run off on her for “business” on a dime. Face it, Logan. Neither of us was good enough for her. Neither of us was ever good enough for her.”

Veins practically pop out of Logan's head as he hears all this. Once Scott is done, however, Logan finally gets a hold of his temper.

Both unsure of what to say, but their fight over, the two simply stand where they are.

The Cuckoos are getting moved into their dorm room, with Bling! helping them decorate. They're all laughing about something when Dani appears in their doorway, Mercury nervously hiding behind her.

Sophie asks if Cessily has received her punishment and has been brought here to offer an apology, but Dani tells her to cut the crap. She knows what they did.

The Cuckoos play dumb, but Dani doesn't play around with this kind of thing and uses her powers on them. While we don't see what they see, Dani subjects them to their worst fears. As they cry and scream, Roxy threatens Dani, while Dani orders the Cuckoos to undo the brainwashing.

The Cuckoos quickly relent in the face of a challenge, as bullies so often do, and free Roxy from their control. Dani turns her powers off, and the sisters collapse on their beds.

CESSILY, sheepishly: "Roxy?"

Roxy groans as she rubs her aching head. For a moment, it seems like she doesn't remember anything, but her mind is just playing catch up.

Roxy runs into Cessily's arms as she apologizes profusely, but Cessily is just crying happy tears none of this was real and that she has her back.

Roxy spins around, not letting go of Cess, and shouts at the Cuckoos that they're all fucking psychopaths.

Roxy leads Cess out of there.

CELESTE, holding herself: "Sociopaths, actually."

PHOEBE: "People always get those mixed up."

IRMA: "We're in trouble, aren't we?"

DANI: "Ooooh, big time."

Scott and Logan stand next to each other, backs against the wall of the SHIELD base hallway.

It's silent at first, save for the occasional sniffle or cough, until Logan speaks.

LOGAN: "So…seriously? Frost?"

Scott laughs. He knows it seems crazy, but he's gotten to know her better than anyone, and she understands parts of him he never even knew existed. Parts of him which were repressed for so long.

Intending to insult himself, Scott says he might actually have more in common with her than he ever did with Jean. Still, that doesn't change anything. He isn't taking their relationship any further.

Another brief silence.

LOGAN: "Why the Hell not?"

Logan says there are few things he cares about less than the love life of Scott Summers if Jean isn't involved, but she clearly means something to him, and he did what he did for a reason. He acted on instinct, and instinct? That's who you are.

More silence.

SCOTT: "Are you just saying all of this so you have no competition when Jean comes home?"

LOGAN: "That depends. Do you agree?"

Before this subject can be further discussed, Storm returns. Mystique got away…again.

She questions what Logan was doing here, and the succinct answer just makes her pinch her forehead over how stupid her boys are. He *really* helped break free one of their greatest enemies just so he could fight Scott.

Logan makes a point that he didn't actually kill anyone here, he just didn't stop the Brotherhood from killing the cops who'd be rounding them all up if Charles hadn't made a convenient arrangement with them. Storm tells him Maria Hill is still going to want him locked up just for being here and helping Mystique escape, but Scott assures them both he won't let that happen. X-Men don't just turn over their own.

Scott and Logan fist clasp.

In the cafeteria, Cessily and Roxy are having dinner. Roxy feels so incredibly violated by what the Cuckoos did, but she's more concerned about if Cess is okay. She knows she didn't mean any of what she said, right?

There's no doubt in Cessily's mind. Now that she has her girlfriend back, everything is perfect. For her. She's going to do everything she can to make sure Roxy is okay too. She's heard a bunch of kids are going to see a guy named Dr. Garrison, a Mutant ally therapist, lately, so maybe they can give him a call.

Roxy shakes her head, saying she doesn't want that.

ROXY: "But, seriously, if after all this you don't want to be in my rents' music video, it's chill. You gotta take care of yourself first."

Cessily giggles and, under her breath, remarks that "Nori actually brought it back."

Picking her head up, Cessily says she's more confident than ever that she wants to be in the video. If it took literal brainwashing to make the coolest girl on Earth think she isn't hot, and girls like the Cuckoos are the only ones who disagree, then she has nothing to worry about.

CESSILY: "Maybe being a Mutant isn't the worst thing in the world after all."

As the two hold hands, the Cuckoos enter the cafeteria.

ROXY: "Yo barbies!" The sisters turn to look at her. "If you wanted to be my friend that badly, you could have just tried being nice."

The Cuckoos seem like they may have something apologetic to say, but they quickly turn back around and continue walking, sneers on their faces.

Continuing to pan across the cafeteria, we find Sofia and Noriko. Sofia questions how Noriko knew all wasn't as it seemed with Roxy. Noriko sighs and tells her that, after her fight with Julian, she no longer thinks things are with him either. Sofia isn't sure what to say to that.

In Emma's bedroom in the school, she's in her nightgown and brushing her hair before bed. There's a knock at her door.

Emma gets up and opens the door to reveal Scott. Before Emma can even get out the first three words of a witty remark, Scott grabs her and plants a long kiss on her lips. The two walk over to and fall onto the bed as Emma shuts her door telekinetically.

Scott, on top of her, pulls up to breathe, smiling as he sees the widest grin on Emma's face.

EMMA: "What changed your mind?"

SCOTT: "Instinct is who you are. I'm done denying who I am just to make others happy." Pause. "Even if she hates me for it."

The two resume enthusiastically making out as they rip each other's clothes off.

We cut directly to Mystique and Destiny, also making out in bed.

MYSTIQUE: "I counted the days till we would be reunited."

DESTINY: "As did I, my immortal love."

MYSTIQUE, smiling innocently: "I only wish my prison stay could have been as lovely as time with our daughter." Pause. "Is everything still on track?"

DESTINY: "Yes. We are still moving toward the sacred timeline."

The two resume having sex, as we cut between them, Scott and Emma having sex, and Cessily and Roxy just resting their heads against one another as they listen to music together.

In the Danger Room basement, Bobby and Hank are both passed out when Kurt BAMFS in, having been looking everywhere for them. With Beast's back aching and Bobby joking about not getting to do his skin care before falling asleep, Kurt teleports them out.

Once back in the common area, Kurt asks what happened. Beast isn't positive on the details, but it shouldn't be anything serious. So long as no one uses the Danger Room, everything should be fine.

We close out in the Danger Room, sinister music playing as a feminine face forms in one of its walls.
