EPISODE 5:

We see Ororo considerably dressed down from when we had seen her in previous episodes. She's about to board a ship. Shuri is with her.

"I don't understand. This isn't necessary. We can get you anything you want here."

Ororo: "I know, but that's not the issue. I don't know what I want. So if I see it and feel it, from the place of my mother's birth I think I will wholeheartedly be able to choose something."

Shuri: "But T'Challa, he won't be pleased that you're gone."

Ororo: "I have left a video message for him. He will understand." Ororo begins walking onto the ship. "Besides, I'll probably be back by the time he sees the message."

Shuri: "Be safe Storm."

Ororo looks back and smiles: "I will."

We see the ship exiting the dock. A gap opens in the dome-like protective roof that covers Wakanda. The ships goes through the gap.

On the ship, we see Ororo sat and she's going through pictures on her phone. The audience can tell that they are photos taken of developed photographs and that Ororo has taken digital snaps so that she has a way of keeping her parents close to her. We can see that she has two guards with her as well as the pilot.

Raven is in a hotel room. Pietro rushes into the room having been running at full speed.

Raven: "So? Did you find him this time?"

Pietro goes to the sink and opens the tap, leaning over to guzzle water. "You know, I didn't realise how hot it is over here. And the outback? There's a lot of it. A lot, a lot of it."

Raven: "So that's a no then."

Pietro: "No. I found something. It was private and had locals be very guarded of the place. I couldn't get in to vet it properly, but you could."

Raven: "Locals?"

Pietro: "Yeah. Exactly. It was strange. It didn't seem like a habitable place. There were no grocery stores or anything that could even pass as a safe place to sleep. But they were in good health. And it looked like they were protecting something. I figure if you mask as their locals, you could get to the parts I couldn't." Pietro sits down. "I can run us there, but it's a long way away. I'm gonna need a minute."

/

Fading out from black we hear Scarlet Witch's voice; "No more mutants" and Emma Frost wakes up with a minor scream. Scott is next to her and he sits up beside her. It's dark out. Dawn not yet having hit their home.

Emma: "That fucking nightmare."

Scott: "It's alright."

Emma: "It's not! What if I am projecting these memories onto our baby? What if she has the same recurring dreams that I do? Oh my f- what if her first words are no more mutants!?"

Scott turns on their bedside light: "Emma, Emma, shhhh, it's alright."

Emma: "Scott you don't know. The anxieties and worries. I hate all this uncertainty."

Scott: "That's motherhood."

Emma: "But I'm calm. I'm solid diamond, unbreakable, and unmatched. I don't like this I" – Scott holds her hand and kisses her fingertips.

"Emma. The mutant part of you is calm and unbreakable. The human part of you worries, just like any mom. But your concerns are amplified because of all the dangers we have faced and will face in the future. But you're alright. You have me, you have a family. We have a home. It will all be alright."

Emma puts her head to Scott's shoulder. She mumbles: "Don't you tell anyone about this Summers. If anyone talks of hearing screams I'll tell'm you were freaking out 'cause of a spider."

Scott chuckles and he slips into the duvet to lay down, with Emma laying on his arm. "I'm sure they'll believe that."

/

We see the pilot of Ororo's aircraft. "We've arrived Miss Munroe. Are we to head straight into town?"

Ororo: "No. Settle us outside in the fields. We will get a cab from there. Best not alert the locals and create a gathering of any kind. I'm not here as a celebrity."

Pilot: "Very well Miss Munroe." Ororo sits back in her seat, belting herself up for the landing. She pulls her hood over her head.

/

We split-screen back to Raven and Pietro. Pietro has Raven in a cradled position. He's running as fast as he can, we can tell by the fact that their surroundings pass in slow-motion. They stop all of a sudden and Raven darts away from Pietro, puking behind a bunch of rocks.

Pietro: "Ergh, that's gross."

Raven: "Be quiet unless you want some of this gunk in your face."

Pietro turns his attention to the sandy scene past some bigger rocks. We see from his point of view as he tells Raven that this is the area he was talking about. It seemed like there were villagers talking and eating by a fire outside only a couple of huts. "That's the one with guards. You think you can get in?"

Raven looks over the rocks: "I should be able to, but you need to snatch one of those people. I need to see their face so I can be one of them. The guards need to recognise me or else they won't let me through."

Pietro: "Alright, so what I just snag'm and bring'm here? Or shall I take a photo or something?"

Raven: "Wait, look. Something's happening."

They watch as members of the community begin walking toward the main hut. They all seem to be going in a minor hurry. Then eventually the guards go in the building too.

Pietro: "What's going on?"

Raven: "Maybe a ritual? A prayer of some kind."

Pietro: "What, like a cult? This guy Gateway leads a cult?!"

We zoom in on Pietro and hear a new voice: "I do not."

Pietro: "What was that?"

Raven doesn't answer him as she keeps looking toward the huts for more activity.

A voice to Pietro: "I am of a culture, but I am not God, nor am I leading a cult."

Pietro runs back and forth for a moment. "Aaaah, aah!"

Raven turns to see him: "Pietro, what the f-?"

Zinging back and forth, "there's something weird going on. Aaah, get it out of me, there's a voice in my head!"

Raven stands up: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Voiceover: "He's talking about me Miss Darkholme. I assume you are here to talk to me? If so, please enter where my friends entered my building."

Raven watches Pietro zinging back and forth. "Pietro, Pietro calm down!"

He stops, eyeballing Raven. "What was that?"

Raven: "Relax. I think that's him. That's Gateway."

Pietro: "Well did you know he could get in our heads?"

Raven: "I did not. But he's not responsive to our thoughts, he responds to our voices."

Pietro: "Ok, so what's that mean?"

Raven takes her phone out of her pocket and begins typing. She holds it up to show Pietro. We have to be careful. This could be a trap. Pietro's about to speak, but Raven instead passes him her phone.

He types: So let's get far away from here, come back with a plan?

Raven types: No. Then he'll know we're onto him. Run in the hut. There are no guards, just see what's inside.

Pietro does as instructed and he speeds into the hut, runs around it and zooms back out by the rocks to Raven.

Raven waves her arms and mouths "well? What's happened?"

Pietro takes her phone and types: Nothing. It's empty.

Raven: "It can't just be empty!"

Gateway voicing over: "It's not empty. I am in the hut. I have moved my people away as a means of protection. We do not know your intentions and so we must be careful at all times. Enter and talk, or please leave us be. Raven and Pietro look at one another wondering what they should do.

/

Emma is pushed off Scott, still before dawn.

Scott: "I'm sorry Emma I can't."

Emma: "What's the matter? Is it because my baby-bump's bigger?" Emma slips her vest back on.

Scott: "In a way, it's to do with the baby, but not to do with you. I just wanna make sure she's alright."

Emma: "You can do that by looking after her mother."

Scott: "It's difficult for me. I feel like I would be intruding on the baby's space."

Emma: "Scott honey, you're not that big."

Scott: "I'm big enough to make it painful for you, so stop."

Emma: "Ooh a little thunder with that lightning, wanna make me clap Summers?"

Scott slides himself away from Emma and out of bed. "No." He holds a pillow over his crotch and then throws it at Emma. "Go back to sleep," he commands, as he exits the bedroom.

Emma pouts, punches the pillow and lets out a yelp. Her hair scruffy and she looks uncharacteristically messy.

/

Ororo is in a taxi with two guards sat either side of her. She notices that the lights say 'go' down the road, but the traffic wasn't moving. "There seems to be a problem?"

One of the guards puts his head out the window and then quickly back in again. He rolls the window up and instructs the driver to lock all their doors. "There are thieves Miss Munroe. They're stealing from cars in traffic and they're carrying weapons."

Storm: "Let me out."

Guard: "Miss Munroe, it's best not to be in a storm before such a big day coming up. Pardon the pun."

Storm: "I said out please gentlemen. Do as your future Queen commands."

A guard reluctantly gets out of the vehicle and Storm follows. She looks down the street and sees three armed car-jackers. Her eyes turn pure white as she holds up her arms. "I Storm, Mistress of the Elements command the; leave those people alone!"

Her voice seems to echo down the street as the goons turn to see her. Storm begins to levitate and as she does there is thunder and lightning behind her. "Be gone hooligans!" She says, but they begin shooting. Storm waves her arm and lightning strikes by the feet of one of the thugs. She waves the other arm and there is a gust of wind that discombobulates the other two. They shoot toward her more, but the tornado that's forming around her seems to swallow the bullets and protect her from any impact. She lands at the feet of the leading goon.

"Storm. What the? Didn't you die?"

Storm picks up the gunman's weapon and has bolts of lightning come from her hands to demolish it. "Not all mutants died, fool. Now return their possessions and let this be the last of any trouble you make."

Another goon is seen from the other side of the car. "Ha! Storm, big deal." We see that the guy has a little girl in his arms.

The mother from the car is crying out: "my baby! No, no please, let her go, give her back!" The guy by Storm gets up and rushes to be by his two buddies. "We've hit the jackpot here. Look at you, the bravado and the elegance. How about that necklace, or the rings. Give us them and we'll go!"

Storm: "I was going to let you go, but now you must all be incarcerated. How dare you use an innocent child!"

Goon: "Oh please, what're you going to do? You can't strike us, not with the kid in our arms. Now you heard what he said. The diamonds, give'm here!"

Storm eyeballs all three goons wondering if there was a safe way of getting the child back. She calms the winds behind her. "You must let the girl go. Return her, then you can have the necklace."

Goon: "As if we are stupid? Necklace first, then the father can come with us. As soon as we are away, we'll let them both go."

Storm: "Or shoot them dead in the street. Why does this place never get any better? You should be ashamed of yourselves!"

Suddenly there's movement under the first goon as a figure comes up from out of the ground. It's Shadowcat! She uppercuts the goon and catches the little girl, clutching her with both arms and running to the car, phasing through it and putting the child back under her seatbelt.

The girl's mother yelps "oh thank God."

Storm reaches her hands up and shoots three lightning bolts right at each goon. They fall back, stunned and having dropped their weapons. Shadowcat goes over and phases a body part of each of them into the ground. Their elbows, leg or wrists. They can't get up. Storm goes over and sets small tornado's around their faces so that they become so dizzy that they fall asleep. Shadowcat appears up through the ground by Storm's side. There are people applauding from their cars, whistling too. Storm's guards come running, late for the action. They see Ororo and Kitty as they hug.

Storm: "Oh it's so good to see you."

Kitty: "You too! Where have you been? I've been in town for days looking for you. Don't you live here?"

Guard: "Miss Munroe, Miss Munroe, we really must be on our way. Media outlets will arrive no doubt and all these people have seen you."

Ororo: "I certainly don't want to do any impromptu interviews. Ok." She shouts "can somebody call the police? Make sure you are witnesses to testify for what happened here!"

There's a pause as the majority of the cars begin driving away from the scene.

Kitty can't believe it: "Wait what? Where's everybody going?"

The parents of the little girl come over, with the girl in arms. "They're scared. The community here always has to be careful. We do not know to which group the thugs belong. Please. Accept our thanks, but we cannot comply. We must leave."

Ororo shakes her head as the family get back in the car: "Some things never change."

Guard: "Miss Munroe, we must leave too. If the public get wind of this before your wedding then too many questions will be asked."

Kitty: "So they're just going to get away with it? They held a kid hostage! Wait, wedding?" Ororo smiles at Kitty. Kitty leaps toward her to embrace: "Ohhh my gosh. Amazing, I'm so happy for you. Who's the luckiest man alive?"

Guard: "Our King, de Black Panther, T'Challa."

Ororo: "I can speak for myself gentlemen. (To Kitty) We have to catch up. What are you doing here? You were in search of me?"

Kitty: "Yeah and it's not good. You were the most trusted and closest person I could turn to. There's something terrible that's about to happen."

Ororo looks at the goons. "Guards, take these three out of the ground and lock them up in Wakanda."

Guard: "But Miss Munroe, your trip?"

Ororo: "I am to remain here. I'll be fine. My friend will look after me yes?" looking at Kitty.

"You bet. Of course, Queen T'Challa." Kitty salutes.

Guard: "That's not how it's said!"

Second guard: "You must bow!"

Kitty seems ready to bow, but Ororo laughs; "No no, enough. Come Shadowcat, we can talk while you help me choose a wedding dress."

/

Back at the hut we see that Pietro and Raven have stepped inside. They look around and cannot see anything until there is a blast of circular fire. Out of it steps an aged man. His skin looks like he's a man hundreds of years old, yet his ability to walk has no limp nor hindrance. The circular fire acts as a portal and closes as he sits down. He doesn't speak, but asks via his mind: "Why do you come here?"

Raven: "We're here to ask for your help. We need to locate a man that used to be a mutant. We thought you could take us to him."

Gateway: "Why? Who is this man and why should I help you?"

Pietro: "Magneto. He's my dad."

Gateway: "The famous Erik Lehnsherr. You want to find him because?"

Raven starts talking, but Pietro interrupts: "to help him get his powers back. He's one of the most influential and historical mutants in history. It's wrong that he's nothing but a mere human now."

Gateway: "And the objective if he retrieves his powers?"

Raven: "Erm…"

Pietro: "Ahh, peace! Of course. And er, he he doesn't know I'm his son. I can run real fast, but I think he'll feel emasculated if I show off my skills to him. I don't want him to be a broken man, I just want him to be whole again. Please? We need to find him that's all."

Gateway elevates off the ground and the circular fiery portal opens. "Wait here." He floats backward and through the portal.

Raven hits Pietro on the arm. "Ow!"

"What was that? Bullshit much?!"

Pietro: "Argh, you're so violent. What were you going to do, threaten him? Look around you. He's an old man with literally nothing to lose. You gotta learn to read a room. A sappy father-son story pulls at the heart-strings. I mean look at the guy, he's probably outlived all his kids."

Raven: "Shhh!"

The circle re-opens and Gateway comes back through. He communicates to their minds: "I take you to where Mr. Erik Lehnsherr is, and you have no reason to return here?"

Raven: "Yeah. Correct."

Pietro: "Absolutely. We didn't mean to disturb your peace."

Gateway: "Follow me."

He floats back through the fiery circle and Raven and Pietro gingerly step through it. They're in a much foggier place than they were before. Gateway allows them space to look around as he floats himself back through the fiery circle.

Pietro: "Where are we?" The camera zooms out as Gateway exits through the portal.

As the portal closes he says "Poland."

Hank is in the kitchen, tea in hand. Scott zips up his hoody, stepping into the kitchen too.

"Hank? What's so important that you interrupt my work-out at this hour?"

Hank points to a holographic communication device. The background is dark, but he can see Ororo on the screen.

"Scott, there is trouble ahead. I know why Quicksilver wanted the vibranium."

Scott: "Really? Why?" Ororo zooms the camera out and we see Kitty Pryde beside her.

Scott: "Kitty. Hi! What are you doing in Wakanda?"

"Hey Scott. Not in Wakanda. We can talk, but listen Pietro's up to no good and he's not on his own. Raven's with him."

Scott: "Mystique?!"

Hank: "I thought she went off the grid, like most mutants after Decimation Day?"

Ororo: "Not any more, and they have some evil intentions in mind."

The camera split screens to show us the pyramid where En Sabah Nur is buried.
