EPISODE 2:

Scott's in the X-Mansion kitchen, very early hours of the morning. He's sipping a hot drink and we can hear muffled voices. Scott's concentrating on his own thoughts, not wanting to eavesdrop. A door shuts. Soon after, Beast walks into the kitchen in a robe.

Scott: "Who was that?"

Beast: "Peter. Poor boy's still having a tough time recovering from last year."

Cyclops: "You're a great friend Hank."

Beast: "Don't I know it. Why are you up? Is Emma alright?"

Scott: "She seems to be. I'm actually up because I'm waitin' on Gambit. His flight is due in about thirty minutes. Figure I'd go pick'm up."

Hank: "We've texted. I told him how much fun this was all going to be, but even after a year of no more mutants, there seems to be unrepairable damage."

Scott: "That's why we're the X-Men Beast; not to solve or repair, but to help the world adapt and accept."

Scott offers Hank to go to the airport with him, but Hank says that he's been talking to Peter all night and that he'd catch up with Gambit later in the day.

We see a figure walking the streets of London. She shapeshifts into a random passer-by, then into another person and then into another before finally entering a pub. She goes to order a drink and over her shoulder in a booth we see a female talking to a few other people. The people seem to be listening eagerly as the female teaches them a thing or two. This is when/where we first meet Kitty Pryde.

Scott arrives at the airport and he goes in to grab a coffee whilst waiting on Gambit. There's commotion coming from the Departures area and out runs a man as fast as he can. Gambit is running after him, but then he puts his bag down, opens the zipper and takes out some cards; charging them and launching them toward the guy running. We see a woman running out from Departures with a security guard and then we see sand and gravel snake its way out from Gambit's bag. We follow it along the ground as it chases the man. A playing card explodes off the man's shoulder and he goes down as if he'd been hit by a brick. The sand keeps the guy stuck to the ground. As Cyclops and Gambit make it over, the sand transforms into Dust, who holds the man down as Cyclops then yanks the backpack full of jewellery away from the man. Gambit puts a knee on the guy's back, allowing Dust to be relieved, but as she stands she has a gun to the back of her head. The security guard is pointing a gun at her stating that she is a mutant, a threat to everyone at the airport.

Gambit: "You're prejudiced! I'm throwin' cannons and the woman in the Niqab is who you find a threat?" Gambit begins swearing in French.

The security guard radios for backup and tells them to call the police. He states that he won't let an illegal alien come into his country, let alone one that's a mutant. Cyclops thinks on his feet and tries to deescalate the situation by stating that the woman (Dust) wasn't illegal and that she in fact works in the jewellery store. He says that Dust's unique mutant capabilities enable her to clean the diamonds in the store thoroughly. Gambit becomes increasingly agitated because of the gun still pointed at the back of Dust's head. Dust says that the stranger is correct. She says that she was only trying to take the man down for the benefit of the store. The security guy asks why then did he see Dust manifest out of Gambit's bag?

She says that she thought Gambit was an accomplice of the guy in front; "I thought he stole, so I checked his bag. You saw me coming out from it, but not going in."

The security guy then asks the lady from the store whether or not Dust's story was true. The lady looks at all three mutants and nods, stating that Dust was a friend of hers. The security guy finally lowers his gun and Gambit quickly embraces Dust. Cyclops encourages the security guy to take the credit for taking down the criminal and to be ready for the police when they arrived.

"In the meantime, we will go. We never had to be here."

The woman from the shop states that she has her jewellery back so there's no need for the police to come and question the mutants' involvement; "they'll jump to conclusions, just like you did. They were only trying to help." From the circled crowd we see people on their phones having recorded what happened. They're gossiping and every so often we hear "X-Men… X-Men…" The security guy puts a knee on the robber. Gambit, Dust and Cyclops take their leave.

In England, Kitty finally has some respite away from students and Mystique takes her chance to approach. She asks Kitty to hear her out, but Kitty phases through the side of the pub and out onto the street. She waves goodbye to Mystique through the window. Mystique eyeballs one of the students that Kitty was talking to. She shapeshifts into him and gets set to leave the pub.

Emma is in the X-Mansion kitchen having breakfast whilst talking to Storm via a monitor. Storm is in Wakanda. She says that she would be honoured to be at the birth of Emma's baby. The two talk and Storm says that she can't commit to becoming a full-time X-Man.

"A lot has changed since D-Day, and I'm set to be married soon, you know this."

Emma says that Storm's marriage to Black Panther is something she deserves, but that she would always have a home at the X-Mansion and she would always be welcome to come and be part of the team. Storm asks of Scott's whereabouts. Emma says that he'd gone to pick up Gambit from the airport, but that they had taken longer than she had expected. There is an alarm going off outside Storm's chambers. She gets off the communication device to go and investigate. At that very moment Scott, Gambit and Dust arrive home.

Storm communicates with members of her Wakanda'n team. She says she wants to know what is responsible for the alarm. Her colleague says that the sound is rare because it signifies a breach.

"Shall I notify T'challa?"

Storm: "No. The King mustn't be disturbed. Find footage of the breacher. I will handle this."

Split screen back to the X-Mansion. Emma, Scott, Remy and Sooraya are all talking in the kitchen, finishing up explaining what happened at the airport. Beast enters and Dust says that she needs to catch up on her prayers. Gambit says he needs a lay-down. Beast says Gambit has the same old room, but that they have a separate place where Sooraya can pray. Emma says that she'll take Sooraya there. Scott pauses with Emma for a moment, saying that he would be heading back out again. He offers her anything that she might crave and she ends up asking for various ice cream flavours, including Hulk-A-Hulk-A-Burning Fudge. Emma asks Scott not to give Valerie a piece of her mind, stating that she would be doing that herself. Scott says that it's important Emma rests. Emma sets to take Sooraya where she can pray. Beast accompanies Gambit to his room.

Split screen back to Wakanda: Storm is at the computer centre of her building. She views footage of what was causing the alarms and sees the slight spark of speed on the screen after having slowed the clip down by 112 million frames. Storm tells her servant to follow his movement frame by frame and to tell her which direction he's headed. Quicksilver is running through the city and then out toward the fields of Wakanda. Thunder and lightning go off and Storm floats to strike the earth with lightning and Quicksilver stops in his tracks. Storm questions what he thinks he's doing, taking what does not belong to him. Pietro says vibranium is worldwide now, it wouldn't make a difference for him to take some right from the source.

"That is known as stealing." T'challa is on the scene. "My love."

Storm creates a lightning forcefield that ensures a circle that traps Quicksilver and Black Panther.

Black Panther: "You are not leaving with our vibranium."

Quicksilver and Black Panther fight. Black Panther wins and as Storm gets the vibranium back, Quicksilver escapes Wakanda. Black Panther tells Storm that they should perhaps have imprisoned him.

Storm says that he's up to something, "but if he wants vibranium from the source, he knows that's now not going to happen. Let him be my King. He's always been a lost soul."

Black Panther: "I must get back to wedding plans."

Storm: "Please do."

Scott Summers enters a government building and goes into a meeting with Valerie Cooper. Scott asks how much the government have invested into Moira's company. Valerie says that she can't disclose that information, but states that the US government aren't the only ones invested. She says that MMM Global Sciences is funded by the seven continents.

"The serum wouldn't even be in production if the UN didn't give it the go ahead."

Scott says that he didn't realise that the project was so big. Valerie says that the initial use of it would be in their state, then the US, then the rest of the world – but Moira herself is pushing for the serum to be released equally worldwide in order for the world to have a balance.

Scott says "how can the United Nations be in favour of this?"

Valerie: "It eliminates the element of surprise Scott. Do you know the number of parents that were terrified when their erratically behaving teenagers would mutate? Some in a good way, but a lot in a bad. This serum could be a Godsend for humans that want to remain as they are and to lead normal lives."

Scott: "But there are no guarantees that there will be mutants born ever again anyway. The flipside of the serum allows for mutants to have mutant babies, to be guaranteed that by their teens, their kids would mutate. It's dangerous and it could lead to militias, armies, mutant nations even."

Valerie: "So what are you suggesting Scott? I call a meeting with Moira and the UN and maybe we can distribute the serum for humans, but hold it back for mutants? That will alienate mutants even more."

Summers is conflicted. He keeps hearing "no more mutants" said by Wanda Maximoff. Valerie reminds Scott that they have worked together in trying to keep mutants safe. It didn't work because the 198 felt like they were prisoners. Now they've separated and intel shows that there wasn't only 198 mutants remaining, it was more like 300. But still, a significantly low number considering there were 16 million mutants on Genosha alone not long ago. Valerie says that what's happening is a decision that comes from the world's most powerful government bodies – and they want to preserve and progress planet earth, not hinder it. Moira's serum allows people to have and make a choice. It makes having mutant babies "normal." Scott asks about those that don't take the serum and then suddenly have a fire-blazing mutant child in their teens. Valerie says that's the part where natural evolution still exists, and those parents would have known from the outset that they're taking a chance by not taking the serum. Yet again; the emphasis is on choice.

Beast is mid-conversation with Gambit in his room. The two seem to be reminiscing. Sand and gravel go under the door and into the room, but then as Gambit takes notice, the sand and gravel exits under the door.

"Sooraya's here. One moment mon chere."

Beast instantly gets up and waits for Gambit to open the door to let him out. He passes Sooraya in the hall.

Gambit: "Sorry Hank. There's a lotta courtesy to consider when in the presence of a Muslim female."

Beast: "As there should be for all women. Please, no need to explain. I am accustomed to many cultures and I know my presence even outside a taken woman's room is direly disrespectful. For that I apologise."

Gambit: "Would you calm down? Sooraya, this is Hank. Hank, Sooraya. De woman that be keeping yours truly in a calm and humble place."

Beast: "Ahh, I'm betting you have to pray for him a lot Sooraya?"

Sooraya: "Every day. Pleased to meet you Hank."

Beast, nodding: "Salaamalaikum." He walks off.

Sooraya: "Wallaikumsalaam."

Gambit: "Haha, what was that? Since when did you know multi-cultural meet and greet huh Beast, you show-off!"

Beast out of view: "Pick up a book Gambit." Gambit and Dust go into their room and close the door.

Mystique as the student meets up with Kitty Pryde. All of a sudden the student leans in to kiss Kitty, but she backs away.

"What on earth? I thought you wanted some more help?"

Before long Mystique transforms into another student and then another. She attacks Kitty, who fights back only out of self defence. Mystique says that she only wants to talk to Kitty. People start passing by and the fight instantly stops so that they don't draw attention. Mystique however is transformed into Kitty. A fellow lecturer at the school stops in their path and sees that Kitty has a twin. The guy goes to greet Kitty and shake the twin's hand.

"Wow, I had no idea you had a twin sister. How lovely to meet you Miss?"

Mystique: "Teeky. The name's Teeky Pryde."

Guy: "Miss Teeky, what an honour. I must say Kitty is a breath of fresh air, a real example to the students of how to see through their books and soak in all their phases of learning."

Mystique: "I bet. But Sir would you mind? I'm only in town for a little while and I sure wanna catch up with my sister."

Guy: "Of course, please don't let me stop you."

Kitty and Mystique walk away from the open scene and Kitty tells Mystique to get lost. Mystique transforms into her blue self and proceeds to blackmail Kitty.

"Hear me out or I'll go smooch that old guy as you and then see where your good graces lie with the rest of the school."

Kitty states that Raven is deplorable, but if hearing her out gets rid of her then "fine."

At the X-Mansion Scott returns home with a selection of salads and wraps from a takeaway food place, as well as ice cream for Emma. He says Gambit and Sooraya must be hungry. They enter the kitchen right on cue, as does Beast. They begin unwrapping the food and Emma says she has a call coming through on the monitor. It's Storm. Storm says that Quicksilver had infiltrated Wakanda and very nearly got away with quite a chunk of vibranium. Gambit says that Pietro's up to something, explaining his encounter with him in India a few days prior.

"He was there to talk to Dust. Said that he wanted her help finding Wanda."

Emma says that she's not certain whether Wanda is even still alive. Gambit says that it wasn't clear how Dust could help locate Wanda, but to then go after vibranium must be a totally different gameplan to what Pietro was trying to achieve in the first place.

Cyclops suggests that there is likely only one person who knows what Quicksilver is up to: "We need to find Magneto."

Gambit asks if Emma could use Cerebro to find him, or even find Quicksilver, but she says that she has had a tough pregnancy and going into an entity like Cerebro could be detrimental to the baby's health.

Emma: "I'm not going to take that chance."

So they decide they need to do things the old fashioned way and to do so, they'd need Wolverine.

Quicksilver is annoyed at the fact that he didn't complete his mission. He gets a call from Mystique.

"I have her," she says. "Kitty's on board."

Pietro: "Really? She actually knows what she's going to help us do?"

Raven: "Not every detail, but that's not important."

Pietro: "You blackmailed her didn't you?"

Raven: "Whatever it takes. You want your sister back don't you?"

Pietro: "Of course. But I don't know if this is the right way of going about it."

Raven: "It's the only way. Unless you have any better ideas?"

Pietro: "I thought I did."

Raven: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Pietro: "Nothing. Are you going to meet me in Egypt?"

Raven: "You're not there?"

Pietro: "I will be long before you."

Raven: "Fair enough. Yes, Kitty and I will meet you in Egypt. Be excited Pietro; we may get back everything that we want."

A clip is shown of pyramids in Giza. The camera dives into the sand surrounding the biggest pyramid. As we zoom through the sand and go deep underground we see the tomb of En Sabah Nur.
