through here.
Hold it right there!
Huh?
Dispatch, we have intruders in the...
uhh!
what's the damage this time?
I'm afraid we're shut down for the day.
I want to know who is doing this to me!
We're questioning the guard now, sir.
The paralysis is just wearing off.
Has he said anything?
Nothing that makes any sense.
Shall I call the police?
No. I can't risk the bad press a week before pow-R8 hits the market.
Upgrade security.
Next time, I want them caught!
ok, let's go! Come on, let's go! Come on!
uhh!
Whoa! What's going on?
Kitty's coming this way!
Run!
Scott?! now Where'd he go?
Hey! Who... Huh?
Uhh!
Ha Ha ha! Ha ha!
Oh, real funny. This school's full of clowns.
I kinda just learn to shrug it off.
Otherwise they keep picking on you.
Yeah.
I know you. Evan Daniels, right?
You're one of the mutants.
What was your first clue?
I saw you guys on the news,
and I was thinking, whoa! Super powers.
I mean, how cool is that?
If I could do half that stuff...
See her? No.
All clear.
Then get us out of here.
Hi. Ehh! Uhh!
You'll never believe this.
Kitty actually got her driver's permit.
We know. We know.
And she's looking for
any licensed 18-year-old to ride with her.
We know. We know.
I bet the professor will ask one of you to do it!
We know! We know!
Wait! I'll drive!
Hey, let me drive!
Huh?
Rogue, so when do you turn 18?
You know, most kids don't want anything to do with us.
What's up with you?
Nothing. Just being friendly.
Hey, tough guys, remember me?
You threw my books in the dumpster yesterday.
And what?
You want us to throw you in today?
Why don't you just try it, fathead,
'cause see, I got a mutant friend.
Whoa! This is why you're hanging with me?
To fight your fights?
I got enough problems. I don't need yours.
Evan, wait!
Yeah, Evan, wait.
Uhh! Uhh!
Evan, Evan, Evan.
Hey, aren't you that spike freak?
You want to find out? Keep pushing!
Come on, where's your thorns?
Show us what you got! Uhh!
uhh!
Come on, Evan, fight back!
Aarrggh!
Uhh!
aah!
Uhh!
ok. Show's over. Thanks for coming.
You wanted to see us, professor?
Yes. I have a very special assignment.
It'll be challenging, so I need someone with nerves of steel.
Sounds dangerous.
It very well could be.
Then I'll do it.
I could use a good adrenaline rush.
Ok. No problem.
It's yours.
But you owe us, Logan.
So, what needs doing? Any explosives involved?
Hopefully not.
Yeah! All right!
Let's go practice some freeway driving!
Wait for the gate! Wait for the gate!
Evan? Not now, auntie o.
huh?!
what's happening to me?
whoa! That was totally awesome!
I so have the hang of this.
I can't believe the number of crazy drivers on the road.
And so rude!
Hey! So when's lesson number 2?
Ah, Logan! How did it go?
Scott and Jean are right.
I owe them...
and I owe you, too, Chuck.
Kitty: Hey, has anybody seen Scott or Jean?
Sorry. It's either you or me,
and it's not gonna be me.
No, wait! Jean!
Oh, hey, Scott.
I was just looking for you.
Evan, quit zoning out, man.
How about sharing some of that milk.
Thanks.
Hey, you entered in that pow-R8 skate this morning?
Yeah. Why?
'Cause I think it's about to start.
Announcer: Hello, everyone, I'm guy Spear,
and welcome to the first annual pow-R8 skate competition. Yeah!
And introducing our new sports quencher,
which blends vitamins and toxic eliminators
so you athletes can totally clear the edge.
Today is all about style, tech, and flow,
and these young competitors are more than ready
to show They've got it going on.
Yeah! You go, Evan. Whoo!
So keep it safe, have some fun,
and let's put pow-R8 skate on the map!
All right! You can feel the vibe of the crowd
as the skaters come out strong.
That's Joshua zerhusan, mixing a lot of switch Tricks into his run.
And now Evan Daniels is ready to drop in.
That was the trick, people! Sweet!
Evan Daniels, rippin' big time.
poison!
Huh?
Uhh!
Into the switch mode, Daniels with Superior board control.
There's a frontside-Tailside 180-Flip over the corner. Sweet!
amazing!
I never realized he was this good.
This guy's all together, and now look!
He's playing to the sponsors with a Spear ball. Yeah!
There's no doubt. This is his world.
You heard me! Disqualify yourself!
Forget it. I didn't use any powers.
Hey, Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?
This punk's a mutant. He's cheating!
You're a mutant?!
Yeah, but my powers have nothing to do with my skating.
Liar!
Uhh! Uhh!
Cool it, both of you!
Now I have to go talk with the judges about this.
Forget it. I know exactly where this is going.
I'm out of here.
No!
aah!
Evan?
Evan?!
what do you want?
Uhh!
Any news on Evan?
Nothing! Come on, let's join the search.
I never want to ride in another vehicle again
as long as I live.
Odd how I'm not getting the same adverse reaction with non-Mutant cells.
What does that mean? Is it poison?
Has Evan been poisoned?!
though it would appear pow-R8 is harmless to others,
so-Called toxic eliminators are hazardous to mutants...
even through skin contact.
Charles, we have got to find him.
what...
What happened?
The pow-R8. It's dangerous for mutants.
I told you not to drink it.
Will I... uhh!
Will I be all right?
We can ease your symptoms, but you must rest.
Don't worry, Evan. You're with the morlocks.
We understand you.
Caliban: Callisto, bringing him here was a mistake.
Callisto: I had to. Even if he wasn't poisoned,
you've seen his mutation.
With those plates growing on his skin,
they'll never accept him topside.
But they will be looking for him.
Night has fallen, and I have seen that Spear has added security.
We could use the boy's help.
No. We cannot trust him yet.
He does not belong with us down here.
Why are you down here?
The world is not a kind place for mutants who look like us...
or you.
Here we find acceptance and safety...
though it's not safe anymore.
Why?
Callisto: Pow-R8. It has seeped into every tunnel.
When Spear Cleans out his vats,
this is where it goes.
We're all being poisoned.
Some of us will not survive.
Unless we do something.
Like what?
Like stop him.
I want to help.
An intruder is present.
Berzerker.
Callisto: I see in the dark, ray.
You can't sneak up on us.
What do you want?
You gotta know that by dragging Evan into this,
the x-Men won't be far behind.
Only if you tell them.
Will you?
Uhh!
Through here.
Uhh!
what's this stuff gonna do?
It'll taint his entire supply of pow-R8
and then gum up the plumbing.
scaleface, you gotta let me go!
Uhh!
Grrr!
Professor, I know where Evan is!
Fire!
aah!
Uhh!
Aah!
No!
uhh!
Uhh!
Quickly! Into the drains!
Uhh!
Uhh! Uhh!
What is she doing?
Diluting it. Better find shelter!
Where's Evan?
They all disappeared.
Please, help me find him.
We're not giving up, storm. Don't worry.
You have to believe me. I didn't know it was dangerous to mutants.
I believe you, Mr. Spear.
If they just told me. Why didn't they say anything?
These people, they've learned not to trust anyone.
I'm afraid they've seen the dark side of Nature too many times.
They now only Depend upon themselves.
Evan! Evan!
Can you hear us?
Where are you?! Evan!
Evan!
I'm here.
Evan!
Wait! Stay back.
I'm... I'm going through some changes.
That doesn't matter.
Let me take you home.
No. Not right now.
I just gotta take a break.
Everything's so crazy right now.
But we can help you through this.
Please don't worry about me...
or look for me.
I'm with friends.
Good-Bye, auntie o.
Wait! Evan, don't go!
Evan!
Logan, let's go home.
Logan said I could drive.
Hang on! We'll be there in a jiffy.
Well?
I want us back in production asap.
Pow-R8 suddenly became a lot more valuable.
