"Startling news broke earlier this week that Worthington Labs was developing a "cure to mutants". While Worthington Labs founder and CEO Warren Worthington II declined to comment, sources close to the Labs state that Worthington is mere weeks away from developing the cure."
-

"A mutant!" Someone exclaimed.

Warren ran forward to attack the intruder, but Erik shoved him to the side with one hand, slamming his back against the wall. Warren cried out in pain.

"What the hell is this?" Worthington demanded, slamming his fist on the table.

Erik took off his hat and smiled at the (other) old man.

"Magneto!"

"Director Fury," Charles greeted.

"Charles," Fury replied. "I thought you said you had your boy on a leash."

Charles sighed. "I'm afraid this time I could not convince Erik to stop."

"This is the sixth time in as many months that he's gone on a rampage like this. This time, he killed three people. President Kelly just reactivated the Sentinel Program."
-

"There's a new player we've been tracking." Fury started as the images flickered from one to the next. "Vigilante. She's left dozens of bodies around the city; most of them are drug dealers, gangbangers...the misogynistic criminals would be luckier if she kills them. We've been calling her "Knightress"."

Outside, fire erupted from every window in the building, then the entire glass-and-steel structure collapsed, creating havoc and debris, raining down fire and hell on New York City.

Phoenix smiled at her work and disappeared into the night, nothing but a flaming demon.
-

"So if it was not Magneto who destroyed the building, then who?" Laura asked.

"That's what we're going to investigate." Charles replied. "But due to the magnitude of this attack, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers are pitching in to help with the investigation."

"The Avengers?!" Bobby exclaimed. "Awesome!"

"X-Men, please welcome the Avenger's newest member: Ms. Marvel!"
-

"Good. I've been doing some looking over our computer systems the last two weeks. Someone has been sending encrypted messages through Cerebro."

That woke everyone up.

"The culprit was very good, and I just discovered where the transmission was going tonight:"

"Genosha"

Shock rippled through the X-Men.

"Wait, Professor, what are you saying?" Amara asked.

"I'm saying, my dear X-Men." Charles replied gravely. "We have a traitor among us."

Laura sheathed her claws and gripped her hand hard to keep it from shaking so terribly. She was breathing heavily. She pushed her sheets aside messily, feeling the sweat on them and her bare legs. The moonlight filtered over her skin and the cool breeze from the window she had propped open blew against her. The coolness of the soft air and the dampness of the sweat clinging to her body made her shiver and wish to crawl back under her sheets. She couldn't though. She had stuck out her claws this time. She sighed and sat on the edge of her bed, placing her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands. She breathed shakily. The always-in-control and tough, fierce clone couldn't stop shaking now.

The nightmares…HYDRA…

As if a whisper in the night: "Hail HYDRA!"
