Chapter 139 - Mutant Life After Exposure

UNIVERSE 11052

Meanwhile, in the Universe 11052, Rude Ben was still unconscious, now X-Men were recovered, but still discrimination between the mutant and human has started.

Three bullies were going towards the Wanda in the Alley, but she taught them the lesson. She comes to meet Caliban in an alley. She asks him to find Magneto. Caliban tells her that he can't help her and starts to walk away.

She started using her power, and started hurting the Caliban.

"Aahh, Pain, Pain, stop your attack. I can't locate Magneto, he was so powerful. I can locate another person."

Caliban screamed in pain, revealing his power's boundary.

"Ok, you puny guy, then locate my brother Peitro. It was time, I teach him some lessons as her sister, so he will reveal Magneto's location." She said laughing deviously.

In the institute, Beast was training the new mutants to use their power. Mutants were going to school, but then didn't want to go, because of the discrimination.

Meanwhile, Wanda tracks down Pietro in a diner.

"My sweet brother Pietro, where are you hiding? Meet your sister, I am here to search for you?" Wanda sweetly asked to search for Pietro.

But Pietro knew, behind these honeyed words, there is a devil. So instead of replying to her, he tried to run away.

But then Wanda caught him, by hearing him running, and using her powers, she brought him face to face.

"My brother, please tell me where you hide father. Please, then we both will get benefits. You will not get hurt, while I know the location of Magneto." Wanda asked him, looking beautifully towards him.

"Sis, I really didn't know where my father is?" Pietro replied.

"So, you will not understand, right," Wanda shouted in anger, and in her anger, the whole diner started crashing.

"Well since you care about your father so much, then he will also care about you. Let's see how much he cares about you, will he save you from the police?" Wanda said, and then she decided to throw Pietro in front of the cops.

While Lance was leaving school grounds, he ran into Gambit. Gambit told Lance to round up the rest of the Brotherhood and meet him at their house.

"Forget it, we are sick of being used," Lance shouted and ran away.

Fred was finishing up his cleaning by shoving a huge pile of junk into a closet when Lance came running through the front door and informed them that they had trouble coming.

And Gambit arrives there, he takes Todd hostage by wrapping him up in a rug and using his power to make Todd a wrapped in living bomb, and threatening to release him if they don't do what he says.

Lance and Fred are forced to listen or else he'll release Todd and "boom." He tells them that they have to go and free Quicksilver.

The Brotherhood of Mutants ambushes the military convoy that's transporting Pietro. The Blob grabs hold of the truck that contains Pietro and tells him that they're going to "squash" him. Quicksilver tells him that he almost blew it and calls him a slowpoke; then he takes off.

Wanda is watching the whole scene from some higher cliffs. She's obviously angry and says that it's not over yet. The Blob and Todd load the unconscious Lance up into the jeep and take off.

Back at the Brotherhood of Mutants' house, Gambit arrives and informs them that the test was a disaster, and they need new leadership.

He also adds that Quicksilver will be the new leader. Quicksilver agrees and states that he is in charge now, and no one will rest until they defeat the X-Men.

At Area 51, Mystique was trapped and left behind by Cyclops after she refused to give him the location of Charles Xavier.

Within Area 51, scientists are conducting experiments on Mystique. She manages to incapacitate a female scientist and escape. After a series of near-misses, she finally breaks free and transforms into a raven, flying away.

Back at Xavier's Mansion, Jean and Storm are talking about when Ben will wake up; so far, he has not even opened his eyes once.

Scott asks Logan how a guy is supposed to know if a girl feels the same way. A raven flies at Scott, trying to claw him, and then flies off just as fast.

Scott receives a call from Alex. Alex is stranded in Mexico and cannot reach his foster parents. Scott decides to go to Mexico to help him.

In Mexico, it turns out that it isn't Alex after all; it's Mystique. She hits Scott with some sort of knockout gas.

Scott wakes up in the desert alone and without his glasses. As the night drags on, he's attacked by a pack of coyotes.

Scott falls down a hill and is knocked unconscious, but some oil rig workers manage to reach him just in time to save him. Scott runs away from them and ends up stumbling around lost in Mexico City.

At the Institute, Charles Xavier tells Jean that Scott is out of psychic range; she needs to go save him. Meanwhile, Jean and the others head out to find him.

Some thugs attempt to start a fight with him, but Scott uses his powers and frightens off all but one of them. The last one turns out to be Mystique. She tries to gas him again, saying she's going to take him to the North Pole and abandon him.

Scott knocks the container away and the two begin to fight. However, Scott still takes a few more good beatings.

Mystique morphs back into her true self and goes after him again. She stops suddenly in mid-air, and Jean uses her telekinesis to knock her around a bit and save Scott.

Later on the jet, Jean finds Scott another pair of his glasses. Then with the Wolverine, Storm and Xavier, they return to the Academy.

Ben finally opened his eyes and noticed the Rogue was looking at him.

"Ben, you're awake!" she exclaimed, as she hugged him.

"Yes," he replied, but he felt his energy was less, he talked to her for two hours, she gave him all the details till it happened, but then Ben again fell asleep.

Rogue started crying a little, and she murmured, "Well, you will be better in a few days."

At Spear Sports, the Morlocks sabotage the factory and escape after paralyzing a guard.

Its Owner, Guy Spear, concerned about bad publicity, avoids involving the police due to his upcoming sports drink launch.

At Bayville High, Kitty seeks driving lessons, while Evan is befriended by Andrew, who admires mutants. Then Evan struggles with his uncontrollable mutant abilities at home.

During a skate competition, Evan faces a sabotage attempt, discovering that the sports drink Pow-R8 is harmful to mutants. After a painful reaction to the drink, Evan's spikes go out of control, causing chaos.

The X-Men try to contain the situation as Evan is taken by Callisto and the Morlocks due to his mutation's rejection by society.

The Institute discovers Pow-R8 is toxic to mutants.

Evan, in the Morlocks' underground tunnels, learns about his rejection by society due to his mutation and questions their underground lifestyle.

Evan learns about the Morlocks' struggles due to the toxic Pow-R8 affecting their underground community.

He agrees to help stop Spear, the drink's creator. Berzerker overhears and informs the X-Men, leading to a confrontation at Spear's factory.

A fight erupts, causing chaos and the release of the toxic drink. The X-Men rescue the trapped Morlocks, revealing Pow-R8's danger to mutants to Spear. Evan decides to stay with the Morlocks, rejecting Storm's plea to return.

As Xavier leaves with Kitty driving, Spear aims to ramp up production, seeing Pow-R8 as more valuable.

Evan remains with the Morlocks, and Storm watches helplessly as they depart.

Meanwhile, now Ben has recovered, and he is able to use his powers. Now he was really cursing himself, he understands choosing the Time Power is a mistake. It cost his body the most.
