X2:

All right. Obviously, we have a situation.

First things first -- in case the Babysitter broke the X-Phone, I'll post here. Sit tight; Red and I are coming to get you all. It'll be about an hour.

Secondly, Sam, Kitty, Piotr, Warren -- seems like you've taken charge. Good. Keep everyone at location #1 until Emma and Betsy show up. Emma and Betsy... get yourselves (and Hank?) to location #1 unless you haven't already.

Thirdly -- has anyone heard anything from the Professor and Scott? I hope they just found out what happened and are lying low, but I'd really like to get confirmation of that.

After we collect the Babysitter and his charges, we'll head to location #1 to make more plans.

Everyone, like always: be careful, stay safe, and take care of each other.

We both love you all.


On May 14, 2003, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was attacked by a government-sanctioned military group led by William Styker. In the chaos, some residents were captured and relocated to Alkali Lake, whilst others escaped and holed up in various safe houses and hotels, trying to reach their compatriots and work out a plan. With Charles Xavier and Scott Summers among the missing, this was difficult. Stryker, a Vietnam veteran and scientist whose experience of mutants had left him bitter and hostile saw Charles' refusal to 'cure' his son Jason of his illusion power as an attack and following the death of his wife due to their son's powers, he vowed to wipe out all mutants, using a bastardised version of the Cerebro technology and Charles Xavier himself.
