X-Factor

The Longest Day, Part 1

Havok and Wolfsbane arrive at the Xavier Institute, following Illyana Rasputin’s death. They find Colossus cold and distant, despite Wolfsbane’s attempts to bond with him.

Havok and Cyclops have a game of handball and discuss the responsibilities of leadership, while Wolfsbane meets with the Professor. She is shocked to learn that he cannot help her, before explaining that they could do psionic therapy at Muir Island, but there is only a fifty percent chance she will survive it.

While waiting for the Professor, Havok attempts to go through an electronic file called “Mutant Underground”, but it is locked. The Professor catches Havok snooping, and tells him that the Mutant Underground is classified. Havok asks the Professor about Wolfsbane, before Wolfsbane explains that she has been given the chance to make her own decision, and requests a leave of absence to go to Muir Island and get her life back.

At X-Factor HQ, Polaris and Quicksilver get memos requesting they begin wearing team uniforms, which annoys them. Polaris finds Multiple Man locked away in his room. She tries to talk to him, but a dupe tells her that he won’t answer. And he doesn’t - so Polaris tells him that she is here when he is ready to talk to her. Strong Guy talks to himself before he gets into the shower - only to be teleported away to another solar system - by Lila Cheney! Lila is determined to have Strong Guy back as her bodyguard, but Strong Guy is not interested, and tries to explain to Lila how much his life is different now. Lila is not impressed, and teleports him back to Earth - where he crashes into Polaris’ bathroom as she examines her own new uniform, while pondering the notions behind their costumes.

Soon, Quicksilver shows off his uniform to Polaris and Strong Guy - who think it is amusing. Quicksilver is unimpressed with the pads and accessories on the uniform, so speeds about, causing them to all fall off - revealing a sleek costume underneath, which he likes.

Meanwhile, Valerie Cooper is giving X-Factor’s new government liaison a hand-over. They discuss the job, and recent events, which have led to Valerie standing down from the position, as she wants to concentrate on the bigger picture of how mutantkind and humankind can find peace. She then wishes Forge luck - as with X-Factor, he is going to need it.
