STORYLINE – Smoke and Mirrors

Professor Xavier meets with Cyclops and Jean in front of the newly christened Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. He hopes the future of the X-Men is bright.

Beast continues to study the Legacy Virus. It has been three weeks, but he has finally started making progress. The results are not great, as the virus appears to be deadlier than thought. Iceman seeks to interrupt but is rebuffed. Beast hates to ignore his friend, especially since Iceman is having a bit of an identity crisis of late, but the work must go on.

Iceman heads out to the pool alone. It’s not long before Rogue joins him. She takes a dive and he freezes the top of the water, which makes her very angry. She verbally lashes out at him and he calls her out for her issues with Gambit. They end in a stalemate with Iceman suggesting that they both get their heads in order.
