(Scene opens with scenes of Beast doing experiments and taking numerous measurements and readings, with a thermos of something sitting beside him on the table). [Choices, some hard, some easy, and lately the choices made by Henry McCoy, otherwise known as the X-man Beast have been unfortunately hard, much to his regret]. [It starts......].(We see Beast mull over numbers and decisions he's made over the past few weeks, wringing his paws), "Henry, we need to talk", (Warren says as he strides into the lab, he doesn't look happy at all).

(We see close-up on Beasts face, it's mostly black but we see his eyes very clearly, at Warrens words we go to a close-up of his eye line and we see his eyes both go to one side as he says), "Yes Warren, is there a problem," (After his eyes we see his face and body, acting as if he's admitting that he knows that there's a problem). "You know good and well that there's a problem, a huge problem, why didn't you tell me?" (Warren is getting angrier), "And just what problem didn't I tell you about," (Beast says continuing to write in his book or continue experiments).

"Betsy's dead, and you didn't even think of telling me, did you," (Warren says now almost fuming). "I thought it was better for you that you didn't know," (Beast says trying to look sincere, but obviously failing). "You thought it was better that I didn't know, hmm, well, who gave you that right," (Warren says pacing around angrily while Beast becomes visibly concerned and anxious). "Okay, so maybe it was wrong of me not to tell you about Betsy, but how did you.," (Beast says as his voice trails off as he looks at Warren for the answer).

"It doesn't matter how I found out, the fact is that I did, and now with a little luck, I'm going to do something about it," (Warrens says almost smirking). "What do you mean, do something about it, what are you planning Warren," (Beast asks looking very concerned now). "Bring her back, that's what," (Warren says firmly and without moving or taking his eyes off of Beast). "How, she's gone," (Beast says trying to be sympathetic to his old friend.)

"The Crimson Dawn that's how, it's worked once before and it'll work again," (Warren says acting and appearing upbeat). "Now I know that this is hard on you, but do you think that you should be tempting fate like this, yes it's bad that she's gone, but in the end maybe it's for the best, maybe it's just fate, I think that we should just leave it at that and move on with our lives, as painful as it will be," (Beast says trying to act and appear upbeat for Warrens sake, but failing).

"Don't tell me to move on and don't talk to me about fate, I stopped believing in fate a long time ago, I believe that we decide our own fate, and I'm going to bring Betsy back whether you like it or not," (Warren says while violently clearing everything off of the table that Beast was working at, the books, vials, and papers goes flying and land with a loud crash and we see Beast sort of cringing).

"But Warren," (Beast tries to stammer out looking slightly scared). "But nothing," (Warren says as he starts to leave))""And don't ever withhold something like this from me again." (Warren says as he walks down the hallway from the lab, we see this from the perspective of Warren is coming towards us).

"Of course Warren," (Beast says as he looks very upset and dejected as Warren disappears from sight). (Jean enters the lab looking very worried before saying), "What happened, is everything okay?" "Yah Jean, everything's just fine," (Beast says turning away from her as we see a tear slide down his cheek, maybe with a close-up on his face so we see the tear and Jean watching him with a worried look on her face, before Beast softly mutters to himself), "Just fine." [With Archangel's hasty exit, Henry McCoy is left with just one question knawing at his soul, what do I do now?]
