Max's face lit up with relief. His mission was nearly complete.
But Logan and Storm? Their expressions were far from celebratory.

A figure descended, golden light flaring as his boots touched the ground in that unmistakable cape-flapping superhero pose.
Nolan.
He arrived cloaked in mystic energy, his aura bending the air around him. Just moments ago, he'd been training Wanda in Kamar-Taj and experimenting with the newly discovered [Psionic Dimension]. But the moment he heard Shadowcat and Storm were on site?

"You really brought out the big guns," Nolan said, smiling casually at Storm. "If you're here, then Charles must be doing better. And Magneto? With the serum I gave him, he's probably stronger than ever."
Storm kept her tone even. "We didn't come to start a war, Nolan. We've fought side by side before—there's no need for this aggression."
"Hold on." Nolan raised a hand. "When exactly were we ever 'friendly'? Let's see... every time we've met, one of you attacked me. Logan, Erik... all so self-righteous."
