Title:
X-Factor
Synopsis:
At Havok’s order, Shard begins a day of walking around New Jersey to get herself acclimated to the world that she is trying to save.
On the subway, she witnesses a boy being chased by bullies who are calling him a mutant. She follows them off the train and onto the platform, where the boy soon jumps in front of a train. Shard uses her powers to save the teen who drops his bag and runs away from her.
Returning to headquarters, Shard contemplates her life. She once more gives Fixx the cold-shoulder, while rummaging through the boy’s bag, and finding a book that has the school he attends stamped on it. Shard goes to the school, and waits for him. Eventually, their paths cross, and she returns his bag to him. She finds out that his “mutant ability” is being double-jointed. They spend some time together and get to know each other a little. Kevin asks to meet Shard the next day, and Shard agrees.
When she goes to find him, Shard discovers an empty schoolyard, She is then ambushed by the bullies, who throw rocks at her. An audience gathers to watch, as the bullies knock her to the ground, and encourage Kevin to hurt her. Shard tries to talk Kevin out of it. She eventually uses her powers to knock over a tree, causing everyone to run.
Shard returns home, resigned to the fact she has to get used to saving a world that hates and fears her. Back at school the next day, the bullies continue to tease Kevin.
