UNIVERSE 11052
In the McFadden castle ruins in Scotland, a group of punk kids are hanging out, having a party.
A guy named Lucas wanders through, and is acknowledged by several of the party-goers throughout.
As he heads down into the remains of the castle, he uses telekinesis to open doors and grates. He reaches the dungeon and talks to someone we can't see. He tells them that if they want it to be over then they have to call "him".

Xavier answers the phone and a boy on the other end tells him he needs his help and calls him father.
On the jet to Scotland, Xavier tries to argue with his ex-wife as discreetly as possible about the son that she never told him existed.
At the Institute, Beast rushes the New Mutants off to school and then checks in on Kurt, who has the flu. Kurt is sleeping, but every time he sneezes he teleports around the room.
Back on the jet, Xavier finally breaks down and tells Jean, Scott, and Storm, "I have an ex-wife, Gabrielle Haller, and we were only briefly married. We had a son together, but she never told me about David, and now he's been kidnapped."
They reach the Haller house and Xavier jumps to ask Gabrielle questions of David's whereabouts. Meanwhile outside, Lucas is spying on them through a window.
Jean and Scott search David's room. Jean notices a little boy in the hall and they go after him.
Gabrielle tells them, "He is Ian, David has found him on the street and brought him home, but Ian doesn't talk."
Jean follows him outside to see if she can reach him with her telepathy. As she follows him across the lawn she runs into Lucas and he takes her out easily with his telekinesis.
Jean is brought back to the castle and Lucas introduces himself.
Jean tries to push him with her telekinesis, but he knocks her flat again with his own, proving he's much more powerful.
After scouting ahead, Storm has returned to meet up with Xavier, Gabrielle and Scott, noting that while she did not spot Jean or Ian, she had seen the glow of fires along the cliff sides.
To which Gabrielle remarks that it's McFadden Castle, where teenagers have used the ruins for parties.
Storm, Xavier and Gabrielle take the task of searching for Ian. Scott eventually finds Jean at the castle, "Scott, stay out of sight, otherwise, you'll be seen by Lucas." Jean warned him.
Scott confronts Lucas head-on, taunting him before Lucas performs a small display of his strong powers, easily knocking Scott and Jean to the ground after she had tried to defend Scott.
Jean escapes her cell through the use of her telekinesis and finds David. They breakout and search for an exit.
David explains to Jean that Lucas is really after Xavier.
He says that Lucas wants to go against Xavier "brain to brain".
The others arrive at the castle and free Scott just as Jean and David get out.
Gabrielle introduces David to his father, but as they shake hands David morphs into Ian.
Everyone is shocked and confused. Ian then morphs into Lucas and knocks everyone away but Xavier.
Lucas goes off on Xavier, "You are never here for me, and what I am is today because of you." He starts ripping the castle apart. Suddenly he loses control and morphs back into David.
David warns, "Dad, Lucas is after you,". "I can help you to control Ian and Lucas." He goes into David's mind and easily defeats the other two. He encases them in bubbles, but the bubbles merge and begin to absorb David.
Xavier grabs his hand and tries to pull him free, but he loses him, accidentally grabbing the hand of Lucas, making him the dominant personality. In the real world, David morphs into Lucas.
Lucas laughed, "Yes, you have done exactly what I have brought you here for." He flew away as the others stood by speechless.
They return to the institute and Xavier is quite upset and leaves the group.
Storm tries to comfort him, "Whenever Lucas will find his way back, you will be there for him, just as you always have been for us."
"What about Ben's condition?" Xavier asked about Ben.
"He has recovered completely," Storm explained, since Ben's condition is better than the previous situation.

A new days at Xavier Mansion, Xavier was seeing the news report about the, Apocalypse having erected another dome, this time in the Shanxi Province of China.
The same news, a little child was seeing it. His mother walks in and flips off the television, telling her son Dorian Leech that she doesn't want him watching the mutant reports; they upset him too badly.
The little boy is small and greenish looking with warts on his face. Leech tries to talk to his mom about the possibility that he's a mutant, but she doesn't want to hear it.
A reporter is interviewing Duncan Matthews, who it seems has graduated along with Jean and Scott and is now working in a mining camp. He says , "Mutants will do whatever they want, they all need to be shut down before they cause real trouble."
At a café, a boy dumps the trash into the dumpster. Lucid sneaks out of the sewers and breaks into the dumpster to get to the food. Some teenage jerks see him and chase him into an alley.
Spyke showed up, and shouted at them, "Leave us alone."
Spyke's mutation has continued to evolve and now his entire upper body is covered in bony armor. He can also fire up his spikes.
Spyke kicks the punks' butts and they all run off. Lucid follows him back into the sewers where they give the food to all of the Morlocks.
Beast and Charles continue to research Apocalypse's domes.
"The pyramids are completely surrounded by the energy spheres. Any attack against them is multiplied and repulsed back violently. The military in China is getting ready to attack, and the results could be catastrophic. I also fear that the result will cause an anti-mutant backlash," Beast explained to Charles.
Sam and Amara are walking home from the library. Sam accidentally cannonball's into a building causing a bit of damage.
Duncan and his friends start hassling them about being mutants and having to 'pay' for the damage.
Spyke comes to the rescue again and sends Sam and Amara home.
"Duncan, spread the word that Bayville Mutants are off limits to hate crime," He said while going back into the sewer, he fired off a couple more flaming spikes that totaled Duncan's car.
The Chinese government attacks the second dome and the results are horrific. The dome remains untouched, but everything for miles around is vaporized.
Fury releases Trask under orders while saying, "Reinstate the Sentinel program. The government wants to be ready for the escalating mutant threat."
Wolverine talks to Spyke to return back, but it doesn't do much good. "The Morlocks don't get to live in a mansion, they are defenseless. They need a guardian and I am the one," Spyke replied back.
On the news, the anti-mutant backlash that Beast and Xavier feared has come to pass. Duncan tells the reporters about Spyke trashing his car and how the Morlocks live in the sewers.
Duncan and his buddies get some of the high-tech mining lasers they use at work and go after the Morlocks. As Spyke tries to fight off Duncan and crew, a news chopper arrives and Dorian sees them on TV.
The Morlocks and X-Men come to help Spyke. Jean and Duncan face off, and when he mouths off to her, she slams him into a car.
Everyone is distracted when a police chopper arrives, and Duncan has a clear shot at Spyke. As he's about to fire, Dorian walks in between them. Duncan fires anyway. Spyke jumps in front of Dorian and is hit by it.
Dorian Leech freaks out and screams, a wave seems to swell outwards and all energy in its path is nullified — including mutant powers.
Spyke loses his armor, Jean drops from the sky, Cyclops can take off his visor and the choppers drop onto nearby roofs. Duncan and his buddies see that they are now weaponless and try to sneak off, only to have the cops get to them first.
Mrs. Leech arrives, she is mad at Spyke for exposing her son as a mutant, she takes back her son. While the power comes back on, Spyke's armor reappears.
Duncan and his crew are arrested. Storm begs Evan to come back to the X-Men.
"Morlocks need me," Spike replied before going back into the sewers.
Xavier catches up to Mrs. Leech, and tells her that Dorian is welcome at the Institute whenever he's ready.
