X-MEN #21
OUT OF CONTROL PART 1
"We were born out of a genius. Grown out of a lab, we were created to be the new species. Ugly little creatures that were shrouded in destruction. But I broke free, and now I shall do the unthinkable..."
Professor Xavier, Wolverine, and Colossus enter the interrogation room Marvel Girl was in with the Savage. They see Marvel Girl on the floor, passed out. Wolverine walks over towards her, gets onto his knees, and picks her up slightly up off the ground.
Wolverine: Rachael! Rachael, wake up!
Rachael quickly gets back her consciousness.
Marvel Girl: Uhhhhh... I'm alright, guys.
Wolverine helps Marvel Girl up. Professor Xavier approaches Marvel Girl.
Professor X: What happened, Rachel?
Marvel Girl: (beat) I don't know... I remember the Savage and I talking, he was telling me how he plans to "cheat evolution" and the next thing I remember... nothing...
Colossus: "Cheat" evolution? As in?
Marvel Girl: Well, the only connection I can think of is what Xavier did. No offense.
Professor X: What we need to do is find this Savage before he can do anything that could possibly make things worse. This is going to be tricky... but I think I know how we can find him...
"Forge?!"
Forge Labs:
We are now inside Forge's labs in the "Sub Basement" (in reference to looks from the Jean Grey School's sub basement) area of the base. Wolverine, Marvel Girl, Beast, and Professor X all walk into the labs and head towards Forge, who is sitting at his table, working on what looked like to the others, miscellaneous stuff.
Forge: Professor. You need me to build something?
Professor X: As a matter of fact, I do. Do we still have a Savage body anywhere in the labs?
Forge: One. Beast and I were working on studying them. Why?
Professor X: Do you have any DNA already set up?
Forge: Why, yes I do. Why?
Professor X: We're going to need to use you and that DNA for something.
"I was lost. I was cursed. Anywhere I go, I was shunned, called a freak. Saying I was a angel shunned to Earth for being ugly. I couldn't bear living with those who shunned me for my looks. But then again, why wouldn't they?"
Cerebro:
Forge is directly under Kelly's chair, attaching a few components together, Xavier, Marvel Girl, Beast, and Havok, and the other New Mutants. Xavier walks over towards Kelly, who is sitting in her chair.
Professor X: Do you know what you must do?
Kelly: I do. Find the Savage.
Professor X: Now, remember, you can't find him through normal telepathic means. You must use the Cerebro signal to find him.
Kelly: Understood, Professor. Is it ready yet, Forge?
Forge: It should be all set in a second. (beat) And... done! You should be able to track any Savage in the world, Kelly.
Kelly: Got it. Stand back. This won't take a bit.
The chair begins to raise up. Kelly presses a button on her chair, which turns the entire Cerebro into a dark blue glow, that illuminates outside of the Cerebro, glowing a more lighter blue in the outside shell. A map is displayed inside the Cerebro walls, which is shown on the walls. The map eventually zooms into a dot, located at the tip of Algeria, Africa.
Kelly: Got him.
Marvel Girl: (to Professor X) We'll want to get to him fast. He's-
Suddenly, Forge and Havok both begin to feel pains in their bodies. They both fall to the ground, spazming. The other New Mutants come into the room, shocked to see their mentors on the ground.
Kelly: Somethings going on... hundreds of thousands of mutants are in pain. They're evolving...
"I couldn't live anywhere... until he found me. Gave me a home. Gave me a reason to not go back. He gave me a mission... he gave me the truth. He had a plan... A plan to all to move forward..."
To be continued in X-Men Issue 22! What is going on? Why are they in pain? What are they doing?! What's going on?! READ THE NEXT ISSUES DAMNIT!
