(the doorbell rings and Jim opens it to see the MRD)

Jim: hey. can I help you

Commander: mutant inspection, sir

Jim: none here

Solder: we'll see, sir. get your family

Jim: sure

(he walks to the kitchen and tells Rogue to hide Clarice a large trunk under her bed)

Rogue: on it

(she and Clarice go to her room and Clarice goes in the trunk willingly because she knows the drill. Jim and Rogue Carry the other three kids to the MRD solders. who believe their human and leave. Jim sniffs the air to make sure their all gone and when he's done he gets Clarice out of the Trunk)

Jim: you okay

Clarice: yep

Logan: come on, lets go

(they run and Amara, Thomas, Elizabeth, Tabitha, and Roberto catch up to them)

Thomas: what the hell is going on

Roberto: how should I know

(they reach the garage and hop in Jean's SUV. they see the keys are still in the car)

Thomas: thank you, Jean

Logan: buckle up

Roberto: me and Tabitha are in the boot

Thomas: okay now let's ride

(cut to Jim and Rogue's house hours later. the MRD shoots knockout gas containers into the house knocking everyone out. cut to the lab hours later as Jim and Rogue wake up strapped to tables)

Stryker: welcome back to the land of the living. first off. thank you for the birth of Weapon XIII

Jim: you bastard. I will kill you (he unsheathes his claws but knows he's strapped to the table) which one did you use

Stryker: your son and I've made a serum out of the blood of the X-men and the brother hood to give him

Jim: you are a sick man

Stryker: you have no Idea. (he talks on a communicator) Moss, get to the chopper and bring the kid and the serum
