"What happened to you? You used to be a member of X-factor and a member of X-force. You fought for the betterment of mutantkind and humankind, for mankind. What is it that changed? The dream fade? Did you find a better dream? You used to be a friend Caliban. What happened?" Alex stood in a room that had no windows, one door and a steel table. Caliban, who was manacled to a chair behind the table looked up.
"Friend? You say I was a friend? I doubt I was ever your friend meat. I was Caliban's friend. Always my own friend. That is all I can rely on. I know not of this X-force I remember X-factor barely and I only remember slicing Archangels body into little cubes. I never had a dream. I make my own way. You can go to hell. Caliban is no ones friend."
Alex stood up, "That is sad Caliban. But, even though you have given up on yourself I wont. You are the first resident of our facility here Caliban. You will be imprisoned, and Forge will be analyzing you in order to find a way to bring you back to the way you used to be, if that is possible. I will periodically come and visit you and see how things are coming along. Until then, welcome to Valhalla Caliban, this is your new home."
With that Caliban spit on the floor and Alex grimaced and walked out of the room. Caliban writhed in an attempt to free himself from his restraints.
Outside the room. "Alex, do you think he'll come around?"
"I don't know Lorna, I hope he does, Forge will be running tests on him to find out what happened and what Apocalypse might have done to him. In the meantime I am gonna go check on Guido and his shoulder. Give me a kiss."
Jamie Madrox sat in his room, bored. If anything in the world bothered Jamie more than being bored he did not know of it. Boredom was horrible. He sat, playing a puzzle, while a dupe was playing playstation and yet another dupe sat counting the holes in the ceiling. This is boredom.
Suddenly the front door rang. Finally something to do. He quickly collected his duplicates and ran towards the front door. Ok, he thought, finally something to do. He stood behind the door and sent a duplicate to answer it. The door opened and there stood himself.
"What is this a joke?" Jamie declared. "Did I leave a dupe somewhere? Come in, I guess. Where have you been? Wait a second, your not one of my dupes. ARGH!"
Jamie folded in the middle from a full blast from a stun gun. He doubled over in the corner and the dupe at the door stepped over his fallen body and ran towards its destination. It crossed a hallway and ran past the infirmary, where a bored Guido waved at him trying to get someone to come and visit him, and onward to the computer room.
Quickly it typed in access codes and began downloading information onto a disk. "Jamie? Since when have you been one for computers?"
The duplicate froze and then turned to face Dazzler. "Umm.. well I just wanted to get some files of some of the guys we might be going up against so I know what I will be dealing with."
"Whoa, who are you and what have you done with Jamie? You're studying files? Man you really must be bored. Why don't you go down to the danger room and test out forges new programs? There is a runway program where the models are wearing almost nothing!"
"Maybe later. I'm busy."
Dazzler looked puzzle, "Are you sure your ok Jamie?" Suddenly the dupe turned and pointing the stun gun at her and dove to make contact. "I WILL BE!"
Dazzler quickly moved to the left and sent a light shower into the dupes eyes and shorted out the stun gun. "What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"
Suddenly the dupe turned into something else, a huge version of Guido. "I am fine, and I am not insane. You however, are not fine. You have just walked in on Copycat dear, and I have no patience."
The carbon copy Strong Guy swung hard and knocked Dazzler against the wall. Suddenly Multiple Man runs in and sees the copy turn into Multiple Man again. "Ok jerk, I don't know who you are but no one copy's the Multiple Man!" With that Madrox stomps his feet repeatedly and a dozen Madrox's appear and insanity insues.
After moments of fighting Dazzler, who had been knocked out, awakens to see a dozen Multiple Man's fighting amongst themselves. "JAMIE! Which one of these is you?"
"I am"
"No, I am"
"SHUT UP I AM"
"COME HERE I AM!"
"Ok, that didn't work, COLLECT YOUR DUPES JAMIE! I need to know who is who!"
With that the dupes disappeared, leaving two Multiple Men. "Which of you is the real Jamie? Wait, never mind." Dazzler suddenly sent enough light into the two Multiple Man's it rendered them both into unconsciousness. Jamie fell, and the other fell and turned into a female. "That solves that." Dazzler touches the communicator on the wall, "Alex get up to the computer lab and bring some restraints, we have a new resident here. And she is already for the pens."
"So, Copycat was trying to download our files on the Alliance and I assume delete them from our records. My only question is why the Alliance thought she could penetrate our defenses. Anyway you look at it though Alison you did good, even if Jamie is still mad, he'll get over it. I am going to go and question our new guest and see if she wants to tell us anything about her employer. I expect you to get some sleep and be in here for debriefing with Guido about the mall incident."
Alex turns to leave, "Alex, I know you are busy, but I would really like to start looking for Longshot."
"Don't worry, tomorrow we start on that. Get some sleep for now."
