The X-Men and Brotherhood and stood on a clear, grassy hill. They talked while they waited for SHIELD to come and take the Brotherhood into custody. A SHIELD team came, lead by Agent Daisy Johnson. The Brotherhood surrendered as they had in the second illusion. Vance planned to attack the agents before surrendering himself. One agent slipped up, the agent called him Ravager. As Vance neared the agent reality began to warp as the agent lost his composure. Vance calmed the kid down then slit his throat. Everyone felt a blast push them back as reality repaired itself. Vance was closest to the source but he recovered first, standing up like nothing happened. A scared agent shot him in the shoulder, he asked "What was that for?"
The agent didn't listen to Agent Johnson. He waved his gun around, terrified. Vance leapt over the agent, Sabretooth style. He said "You can give it to Agent Johnson or me." The agent threw the gun on the ground. Vance walked past his towards the confused looking mutants, he said "Survival instinct. Agent Johnson is least likely to kill him."
Scott Summers asked "What was an illusion?"
Vance said "None of the three. They were all real. The kid could do to reality what he can do to metal." Referring to Magnus.
The agent that shot him continued his insanity, accidentally killing another agent. Vance walked over to the downed agent. He pulled a small device off the agent's wrist, revealing her natural mutant appearance. Vance said "She's a mutant. You might want to run now." The shooter dropped his weapon and ran. Vance left the dead body.
Vance asked Agent Johnson "Is your stuff demagnetized metal?"
She said "What?"
Vance said "Guess not." He pushed his way back to the mutant agent. He knelt beside her, put his hand under her wrist so her hand was touching the underside of his wrist. He began chanting, the injury healed like she was Wolverine. The crowd of agents backed away.
Agent Johnson said "Whatever you're doing keep doing it."
Vance kept chanting, she regained consciousness. He couldn't stop chanting, his chant started draining her. Scott and Logan (Wolverine) pulled him away. She recovered, he stopped chanting as soon as the physical connection was severed. Vance said "I need a nap." He turned to the mutants "No cat jokes."
"Of course not," was the response. The Brotherhood kept up their surrender. They boarded a transport jet. Vance sat poised on a bench like he was a waiting calmly but he was sleeping. Agent Johnson came from the cockpit, she had to put a watch on him to track his vitals. She referred to the X-Men for help, afraid of ending up on the wrong side of his claws. Scott, sitting next to Vance, nudged him awake. Scott said "You need to track his vitals."
Agent Johnson said "Yes." As she turned to see Vance awake. She reached up and grabbed a monitoring watch. She said "The scientists want to see the effect bringing someone back has on him. Since we're not there, this will have to work."
Vance ended the babbling, he said "Give it to me." She did and he put it on, "Good?" She nodded before returning to the front of the plane. Vance closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
They landed on the Helicarrier. Nick Fury stood with fully armored agents as the ramp lowered. The agents moved in to surround the Brotherhood, they escorted the villainous mutants to their cells. The X-Men were greeted by Director Fury. Agent Johnson took Vance to a medical scanner for a full work up to see the after effect of his resurrection powers. Vance flipped out at the site of the scanner. He picked a fight with two guys suits, not lab coats. The fight ended with the agents subduing Vance with handcuffs, Vance knew the no metal rule and calmed down. Nick Fury came in flanked by three male X-Men (Charles, Scott and Logan). Charles demanded "Remove the cuffs," as soon as he saw the cuffs.
Fury, as they came in, asked "What is going on here?"
The agents removed the handcuffs, Vance said "I'm not getting in the scanner. Any chance I can get some sleep after I resurrected your agent?" He was put in a cell but he wasn't charged with anything, SHIELD's compromise with the X-Men. Vance slept on the bunk, quickly gaining enough energy.
Deciding to see what SHIELD's stake in mutant affairs was, Vance escaped his cell. He found barracks with a ragtag team of young mutants, one girl was a shapeshifter. Vance figured no good could come of SHIELD having child mutants. He gave them a stolen access card and described Magneto for their escape purposes. He left them to make their own decisions, deciding Nick Fury was personally responsible for a million unpunished crimes. He snuck up behind Fury and sliced Nick's throat opened with his claws. The thud was enough to notify the guards but Vance was gone before they got in. He was taken in under his own terms. Once sure the kids were safe he slipped undetected behind Agent Johnson.
Vance said "Arrest me."
Daisy spun and did just that. Vance stood proud, not kneeling or holding his hands above his head. He surrendered by extending his arms, at the elbows, forward.
SHIELD put him in the same cell as before, locking it this time. Magneto had returned after taking the young mutants to Charles for their own safety. Vance escaped to ensure the kids were safe before returning to lockup.
