Title:
X-Factor (Vol. 1)
Synopsis:
Val Cooper has the injured X-Factor taken to a medical facility for treatment. With her is Major Edmond Atkinson; her ex-husband. A storm is keeping anyone from putting anything it the air, but the major knows there’s no way that news of X-Factor’s being alive isn’t going to reach Washington. As the doctors and nurses treat the team, Mystique accuses Val of being a paltry bureaucrat who cares nothing for mutantkind. Val says she’s wrong. The only reason she isn’t going to let anything happen to X-Factor is because they’re her friends - a concept she figures Mystique won’t be able to grasp. One of the major’s men informs him that the weather is breaking up earlier than expected, and radio communications confirm they’ve been spotted. Val persuades Edmond to withdraw his men but, before he leaves, Mystique attacks her. Edmond puts her down hard, and then departs.
Over at Fall’s Edge, Bowser is informed that Val has sent a message, asking to turn herself in. Also, Stone has tracked Sabretooth to their designated pick-up point. The boy is as good as theirs.
Val asks the hospital staff to leave, but then Ed returns without his men, to help out if her negotiations with her boss fail. Soon, government troops try to break in, and Edmond is caught in the chest with laser fire. Fortunately, Havok and Fatale appear and deal with the troops quickly. Despite not fully trusting Havok, she asks them to get the team away from there, which they do, leaving her and Edmond to face the questions.
Sabretooth, having freed himself from his restraining collar, heads straight to Trevor Chase’s house, where he intends to murder the boy and his family; simply to get at Mystique. He murders Cole as soon as he opens the door. However, Stone manages to prevent him from murdering Trevor, taking the boy with him, but he leaves Justine to suffer the same fate as her husband.
