Title:
X-Man
Synopsis:
Nate wakes from a strange dream, where he is rescuing a boy during a storm, only for him and the boy to be attacked by demonic versions of the X-Men. He realizes he has had the same dream all week.
Nate dresses and goes to Washington Square Park and thinks about people and events in his life before noticing two men being rude to an older man. Nate goes to help the older man and sees his newspaper, which has a photo of the boy from his dream. Using the information from the newspaper, Nate arrives in Clairton, West Virginia, where the orphanage the boy was at was destroyed. The local authorities are less than helpful, until Nate disguises himself as a local, and they reveal what they know about the boy’s history, and explain that he was taken to an institute in New York.
Nate assumes that the boy is a mutant and travels to the institute in New York, this time disguised as the boy’s uncle. He is taken to meet the boy, and it is explained to him that he appears to have some sort of multiple-personality. Nate enters the boy’s mind, and learns about his true history - that he is the child of a Dire Wraith who lived as a human male and his human wife, and how the Dire Wraith elders taught him their evil magic and he killed his parents. Nate sees the X-Men attacking the Dire Wraiths like in his dream. He is worried about what he has unleashed, as the boy transforms into the Dire Wraith form, Hybrid, and a lengthy battle ensues.
Nate tries his best, but the alien is powerful. Eventually, Nate searches the alien’s mind for any remains of the innocent boy that it once was. Using the essence of the boy, Nate manages to take the Wraith down, and it appears to disintegrate.
Nate returns to Washington Square Park, reminiscing on his life and the state of humanity. He hopes that there is still a place for innocence in the world.
