Later in the evening, it's begun to rain, and as Storm's looking outside, she says to Jean, "Nothing I can't handle, don't worry it won't rain on the Graduation."
"Thank Storm, I want to be perfect for my family," Jean's thankful for that.
"Well, have you given any thought about your future?" Xavier comes in his wheelchair and asks.
"Well, I am thinking about reading and studying medicine, maybe in genetics. I know, I can find a great tutor," Jean replied, giving tea to Xavier.

Meanwhile, the limo arrives at a warehouse. Rogue points a window out to Mystique. Mystique nods as she reaches out her hand.
Rogue touches it, steps out of the car and morphs into a hawk. She flies through the open window and morphs back.
Colossus is there, carrying a heavy crate. He doesn't even know what hit him.
Moments later, as she drags Colossus from under the crate, she gets jumped by Sabretooth.
Rogue, however, knocks Sabretooth out with her hand in Colossus mode.
As she does that, she notices a reflection of a flame on the metal surface.
"You are stupid for being here," Pyro begins to torch her.
Rogue, however, steps out of the flames in Colossus-mode, and Pyro bites the dust when Rogue knocks him out in Colossus mode.
But Gambit is waiting for her, "Bravo strategy, looks to me like Rogue is up to no good, but hey I like the girl," He pointed to her in Colossus form.
As Rogue begins to approach Gambit, he backs off, holding his staff. "Only thing is, you are not alone in this, are you? Who's behind you, and if it's Mystique, so why?" But Rogue just attacks him with telekinesis and slams him into some walls. Gambit's down too.
Then Magneto arrives and gets greeted by the sight of his Acolytes down. He stops next to Gambit and calls out for Rogue.
Then he sees a second Gambit lying there, but before he fully realizes it, the 'Gambit' next to him turns back into Rogue and touches him.

Meanwhile, at night Ben has come to Wanda. He has come here to recover his complete energy.
But after coming here, he found Wanda was knocked out. He put her in bed.
"Do you see who attacked you?" He asked her, while taking care of her.
"No Ben, I didn't see it clearly, when I just turned from the door, someone touched and knocked me out," Wanda replied, she felt a little confused.
"It's okay, I am here with you," Ben said, as he put a blanket on her. But she caught his hand.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Ben, I think maybe the person will return back, so please don't leave me alone tonight," Wanda said, as she hugged Ben.
"Of course, I am not going to leave you, after all, I come here to recover myself," Ben said, as he adjusted himself together with her in bed.
"Of course, since I have lost the energy, It was good for us to do Dual Cultivation," Wanda nodded, leaning in Ben's arms, her hands starting the action of undressing Ben.
Ben, seeing her actions, nodded, he also knew she wanted his Dragon.
He cooperated with her, and started undressing her. After both became the nude, Wanda started waking his Dragon by giving the warmth and saliva of her mouth.
Then Ben pointed his Dragon, then adjusted it, and with a natural push, he started exploring her Sacred Forest.
While she started moaning in pleasure.
All night Wanda and Ben spend in sexual pleasure, and all the weakness, which Ben has got in saving the Rogue and X-Men vanished. Filling him with full of energy.
Ben understands both Wanda and him are not only a couple but also tonic for each other.
As the morning light shines on them, Ben is ready to go to his graduation ceremony at Bayville High School.
Although he already graduated in his Universe, but still after going school in this Universe 11052, he was again ready for it.
And just when he wants to wake up, Wanda holds his hand, "What happened?" He asked her.
"Ben, please also spend today with me," Wanda replied by showing her puppy eyes.
"Why, all night we have already done this," Ben replied to her.
But Wanda tightly hugged Ben, "Ben, I want to visit romantic places, together with you, I want today to go on a date," She replied.
Ben thought for a few seconds, and knows she has not any happy memories of childhood before meeting him. So he accepted her demands, "Ok."
"Thank you Ben, thank you," Wanda shouted happily, she started kissing all over Ben's face, and then since both of them were still nude, a passion ignited, and their morning turned into intimate moments.

Meanwhile, at the Bayville High School, the time of Graduation's about to begin. Jean and Kitty are in robes, talking about the nice weather and about their journey to Bayville High School, when Jean's family arrives.
Present among the crowd is Pietro: he's watching Rogue.
When the ceremony begins, Kelly starts a speech.
But then Kelly noticed Magneto, the Acolytes and the Brotherhood entering the grounds.
People begin to panic, Kelly tries to calm them down, but nobody's listening anymore.
Rogue tries to flee but Pietro stops her and brings her to Magneto. He holds her in place by surrounding her with iron chairs.
Mesmero was there too, looking on from under the stands.
Xavier asked, "What are you doing Magneto?"
"Rogue's attacked us under Mesmero's control, she absorbed our powers," Magneto replied.
"What proof do you have?" Charles Xavier asks him to prove it.
"My security cameras, they recorded everything." Megnoto replied, but before he does more, Rogue flies into the air and hurls the chairs against the mutants.
"Rogue stop," Xavier said, but before he does anything, Rogue flies off, throwing the chair towards X-Men.
Most chairs miss or get warded off, but Kitty and Kurt get knocked down.
"Logan follows her," Charles quickly orders.
"Sabretooth and Gambit will help him." Magneto also commanded.
Wolverine refuses, but Charles says, "There's too much at stake."
Both Wolverine and Sabretooth growl. Moments later, the three are off on their motorcycles.
As Wolverine and Sabretooth exchange looks, Gambit remarks "Things might get interesting."
Not much later, Charles and Magneto are walking through the corridors under the institute.
Charles tells, "We've to find Rogue and stop her from getting the third key or."
"I know the alternative, finding the portal and defending it." Magneto added, and continued. "But we will only succeed when we form a team with their most experienced members."
"To prevent Mesmero from taking anyone under his control, I am afraid, I must place a mental block with each of the X-Men and your team. It is the only way," Charles explained, Magneto. agrees as they arrive in the Control Room.
"I didn't find anything on Apocalypse in Ancient Egypt." Beast tells them.
Magneto tells him, "Search under Apocalypse's real name: En Sabah Nur."
Beast found files about Apocalypse. And as it seems he ruled over the Gizeh, some 5000 years ago, they assume his tomb's there. But they don't know exactly where.
Magneto tells them, "Only Mesmero has the one who knows the answers."
"I will be able to read Mesmero's mind," Charles agreed, as they left for Cerebro.
Charles tells them he'll use Cerebro to interpret the images from Mesmero's mind.
Having attempted that, Charles tells them, "I know where to find the Tomb of Apocalypse."
Meanwhile, Sabretooth, Gambit and Wolverine break into the control tower, and find everybody there is out cold.
Gambit, looks at the radar. Wolverine looks too and says it might be them.
Gambit suggests stealing a plane.

Meanwhile, the X-Jet touches down next to the Great Sphinx, together with Magneto's spheres. Xavier was about to call for Ben.
But when he knew Ben was spending time with Wanda, he didn't call for him, he didn't give him any details about the mission.
Beast prepares Shadowcat with an oxygen mask and a lamp, while Charles briefs Kitty, "Just look for an underground room."
Kitty then phases halfway into the ground. She dives into the ground and ends up in an underground room.
She takes a fright, seeing there are all kinds of statues.
Beast told her, "Find a lever and activate it."
She finds and activates it. In front of the Sphinx, a large hole opens up in the ground, in which a stairway forms. While the team descends the stairs, Kitty takes off her mask and waits for them.
When they arrive in the room, Magneto orders "Pyro, light the torches, then we will find the door."
While everybody looks around, Kurt approaches Kitty, "This place looks interesting."
Then he screamed, because one of the statues behind him began to stir. Others also notice that the statues are beginning to move.
Then, behind them, the door starts to close. The team realizes they've walked straight into a trap. The torches die down.
While Ben has returned after his date with Wanda back in the academy, he didn't find the X-Men there.
