Title:

Soldier X (2002)

Synopsis:
Dead Ends, Part 2.

Nathan Summers enters Magda Ramirez’s mind, determined to discover the truth about the murder of her parents. She doesn’t want him in her memories, but Nathan breaks through her mental defences and finds what he came looking for.

Magda’s father tried to shoot her for being a mutant, but her mother stepped in the way to protect her daughter and was killed instead. Magda’s father, grief stricken, put the gun to his mouth and killed himself. Magda fought with him over the gun but couldn’t stop him from killing himself.

Back in reality, Nathan urges Magda to flee with him, convincing her that she is indeed innocent. However, Magda can’t let go of the idea that it was still her fault, for if she was not a mutant, none of this would have happened.

Nathan takes Magda into his own mind and shows her the future he came from and the odds in which he battled against, like the techno-organic virus, to get to where he is today. She is surprised that Nathan lost so much but still fights to help others. She is almost ready to leave with him but then realizes she can’t leave the prison. Her escape would just show people that mutants are above the law.

Later that day, as Magda is taken to be executed, she mentally talks to Nathan, thanking him for helping her. In his hotel room a safe distance away, Nathan breaks down in grief. Something breaks within him, and for the following months, he keeps himself isolated in a cabin in Alaska, drinking lots of alcohol.

Six months after Magda’s death, Domino leaves a message on his answering machine. She has news; mutants have been disappearing all over the country, arrested for terrorism and taken to debriefing camps. He picks up the phone and gets interested. He tells Domino to meet him and to bring very big guns.
