Story Title:
(First story) - The Extremists, part three of five
(Second story) - Endangered Species chapter six
By: Ed Brubaker
Artist: Salvador Larroca
Synopsis: (first story)
Storm asks for Ben Grimm’s help in working out possible places where Masque’s group could be hiding out. She utilizes Reed Richards’ 3-D maps of the underground to help in the research. Meanwhile, Charles Xavier and Nightcrawler visit White River Junction in Vermont - the last known sighting of Erik Lensherr. Charles is using his abilities without other people’s permission more and more these days, and Kurt doesn’t much like it. Charles sees what the sheriff saw. Erik was looking at the grave of someone who didn’t quite make it into his brotherhood, and Charles wonders if he’s paying his last respects or taking a glimpse at their future. Meanwhile, after Masque puts a video online which states that every mutant left on the planet is a weapon, Skids tells him that he’s gone too far. However, Masque is in charge, and what he says goes. He threatens Skids, asking if she’s a traitor, but before their altercation gets out of hand, O*N*E soldiers storm the hideout. Back in Vermont, Charles picks up anxiety even that far away, before watching the video. He realizes that Masque is calling for Magneto, so they need to locate him before Masque does. Storm’s team find Masque’s hideout and discover only two soldiers left alive. However, they also discover Skids lying under the rubble. A Sentinel arrives and accuses Storm’s team of harming his friends, the soldiers. It attacks Storm, but Skids regains consciousness and orders the Sentinel to stand down. She is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and this is her investigation.
(second story)
Hank McCoy visits the abandoned facility of Neverland, and discovers Dark Beast there. The two men aren’t exactly friends, but Dark Beast explains that he is there to offer his assistance. The prospect of mutant extinction doesn’t sit too well with him, either. Beast is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but Dark Beast explains that, in order to succeed, Beast needs someone to think the unthinkable and do the irrevocable. He needs someone to carry out research that he himself will not do. He hands Hank a disk that contains personnel records of those who gave the orders at Neverland, and those who pulled the triggers. Hank almost walks out, but ultimately realizes that Dark Beast is right. The two men shake hands, with Beast understanding that he’s walking a fine line with this union.
