"…six month anniversary of the Days of Future Past event. Yes, it's hard to believe, but six months ago mutants traveled through time to save President Robert Kelly from assassination by mutant terrorist Erik Lenscherr, aka Magneto.

While the initial aftershock of the event shattered mutant-human relations and battles between mutants and Sentinels broke out all over the nation, a peace treaty was ratified by President Kelly and Charles Xavier of the Xavier Institute. This treaty brought fighting on a major scale to a halt as well as many anti-mutant legislation in Congress. America's move has inspired many countries around the world, although Russia, Iran, and North Korea are still proceeding with their Sentinel Programs despite global outrage.

Startling news broke earlier this week that Worthington Labs was developing a "cure to mutants". While Worthington Labs founder and CEO Warren Worthington II declined to comment, sources close to the Labs state that Worthington is mere weeks away from developing the cure. The Senate Mutant-Affairs committee is expected to call Mr. Worthington in front of them later this week to discuss breaches in the mutant-human peace treaty. S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be in attendance."

"Who's that?"

"Oh, I'd stay away from her if I were you man."

"Why?"

"Haven't you heard the stories of the tiger lady?"

"Who?"

"Laura Kinney, that girl you got the hots for? Every guy who's tried to get close to her has ended up with dislocated shoulders, broken fingers…she doesn't like guys, despite how much the guys like her."

"Laura Kinney? That's a nice name."

"Don't you dare."

"I think I'll give it a try."

"Dumb-ass."

The boy laughed, brushed his long dark hair behind his ear and walked towards the dark-haired girl in a T-shirt.

"Hi," he greeted.

Laura turned around.

"Hello." She returned politely, but coldly, and turned back.

He paused. This wasn't the reaction he'd been expecting. "Laura, right?"

Laura turned and stared at him intently, as if trying to scan his brain for anomalies.

"I'm Jullian. Jullian Keller." He greeted. His green eyes twinkled as he extended a hand.

Laura stared at his hand, trying to decide whether to remove it or not, then shook it.

"Nice to meet you."

Erik beckoned with his wrist and the jet crashed into the building, spraying glass and steel at the board members. They darted for the door. Worthington tripped and looked up at the spinning blades of the jet, heading straight for him. Warren dropped his coat off of his shoulders, grabbed his father, and jumped out of the window, flexing his wings and flying off into the distance.

The hole this man had blown in the wall was large enough for a car to drive in. It opened into the main road. Shops glowing with "OPEN" signs and deals displayed in their windows lined the streets. People were panicking, running about. One man came out of his store with a gun, but the white-skinned man's guard shot him down in the street, arousing screams from a group of schoolgirls huddled in the corner.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is Mr. Sinister!" The white man spoke.

"Now, I'm not here to hurt anybody…much…I'm just here for some mutants."

She wasn't in the maze anymore. She had already proven she was a killer, that she could handle herself. Several more sessions like the previous one and she was no longer weak. Now she was moving to stealth tactics. Several HYDRA soldiers were on break in the bio-room. She had been shown three to kill. She had to do it without anyone noticing. Failure meant punishment.

Since the Weapon X facility was located underground, HYDRA soldiers couldn't go above ground to relax, so there were large rooms with plants and trees spotted throughout the facility for the soldiers to take breaks. The light on the ceiling even imitated the sun's position at that time during the day.

X-23 crawled through the trees. The leaves barely whispered as she slid from limb to limb like a snake, silent as a cat, dangerous as Damocles' sword.

The assassin spotted her first target. He was sitting on a bench in the corner reading a newspaper. He was the first HYDRA agent X-23 had seen without his mask on. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He had a square jaw and a sharp nose. He seemed very interested in one article, scanning it with his eyes acutely. Laura moved above him and glanced around. No one was looking, no one was nearby. This would be easy…

"There's a lot to explain. And if you'll let me, I'd like to make you an offer."

"What kind of offer?" Rogue asked.

"I'm putting together a team, and I'd like you and your specific set of abilities and resources on my team."

"Team?" Rogue asked.

"Well," The girl replied. "It's really more of a…force."

"What'd you call us down here for, Prof.?" Bobby asked, rubbing his eyes. "If this is an emergency Danger Room session, I'm leaving first thing in the morning."

"No, Bobby, I'm afraid that this is not a drill." Charles said. "Is everyone here?"

Distant confirmations came from sleepy mouths.

"Good. I've been doing some looking over our computer systems the last two weeks. Someone has been sending encrypted messages through Cerebro."

That woke everyone up.

"The culprit was very good, and I just discovered where the transmission was going tonight:"

"Genosha"

Shock rippled through the X-Men.

"Wait, Professor, what are you saying?" Amara asked.

"I'm saying, my dear X-Men." Charles replied gravely. "We have a traitor among us."
