Title:
X-Factor
Synopsis:
Sabretooth lunges at Forge, Polaris, Valerie, and Wild Child, to attack the large being behind them - a mutant Hound. Sabretooth explains to Valerie that this is why he was sent here without the rest of X-Factor as he battles the Hound, Mystique’s attempted assassin. During this fight, Mystique remains unconscious. Polaris tries to stop the Hound with her magnetic powers, but he just passes right through them. Sabretooth and Wild Child tackle the Hound before he can get to Mystique, before Polaris drops a huge pile of rubble and equipment on the Hound. As Forge taps into the facility’s computer to find some more information about the Hound, Sabretooth tells Valerie that his collar has been switched off, so he doesn’t have to do what she tells him.
The Hound breaks through the rubble, and boasts that no mutant can stop him. Polaris summons immense power, and takes control of the Hound. She asks him various questions, but he explains that he doesn’t know why he attacked Mystique. He does know that he cannot stop until all mutants are dead, and that he is also a mutant. Polaris incapacitates the Hound, though she is drained of energy.
Forge learns that Rory Campbell is somehow involved in this facility. Some black-op Government agents then arrive, who end the goings-ons by taking the Hound into custody. Valerie is confronted by a man called Gladstone whom she has some sort of friendship with. Gladstone persuades her to give this mission up, warning her that it is for her own good. X-Factor, including Sabretooth, then leave.
At Falls Edge, two unknown Government operatives break in, as they were informed the place would be deserted. As they try to steal Forge’s computer and files, they are stopped by Shard.
Graydon Creed’s campaign for President of the United States receives a large sum of money from someone within the Government. Graydon is warned that Mystique is going to be kept alive to keep him in check.
Two days later, Valerie and Senator Kelly travel to the location of the Government facility on the border, only to find the whole place is gone, replaced by farms. They are confronted by a Government Scientist-cum-Farmer who explains that they are testing bovine diseases. He claims he doesn’t know what Valerie is talking about when she mentions the complex that was supposed to be here. Senator Kelly is annoyed, but tells Valerie that this confirms some suspicions he has been having of late.
Later, Valerie walks the grounds of Falls Edge at night time, and is confronted by Sabretooth, who hints that he likes his current situation, before warning Valerie that she might be the next person to end up with a restraining collar around her neck.
