To Me, My X-Men

Reporter on TV: As we await more details out of Paris, we take a look back on another life cut short, Professor Charles Xavier. The mutant leader's assassination last year by former NSA agent Henry Gyrich has spurred increased sympathy toward mutants despite their strange powers. But is mankind ready to share a future with those who science claims were born to replace us? Experts debate this and more after the break.

In a warehouse filled with members of Friends. Of. Humanity., we see a blonde man with a mullet escorting a teenager with a collar around his neck as he worries for his life.

Mullet: The buyer's really gonna throw down 10 grand for every mutant we nab?

Stranger: Says he's using them for target practice.

Teenager: Please don't hurt me. I'm Roberto da Costa, heir to the Da Costa fortune. Name a price. Money's not an issue.

In comes in a man with scars in his face.

Denti: Mutie thinks it's about cash. Funny. What's this freak's trick?

Mullet: No clue. Kid didn't even try to use his powers. Collared him just in case.

Denti: Hear that, mutie. So long as that collar stays on, your powers are bye-bye.

Roberto: I'm not like the ones on TV. I'm one of the good ones.

Denti: A good mutant? Now, that is rich.

Roberto: Listen, I am begging you. I didn't ask for this, okay? I was born this way.

Denti: Ain't that the rub?

All of a sudden, the sound of thunder rumbling is heard outside and the wind becomes harsh. This causes the members of F.O.H to panic.

Denti: Grab a Sentinel blaster and spread out!

Outloud voice: I am Storm, mistress of the elements. Surrender the boy or face my fury!

Electricity breaks through the glass roof and down flies a black woman with a white attire and winds surrounding her. The F.O.H members ready their blasters.

Denti: I ain't afraid of you, you witch.

Storm: Then you are a fool.

She shoots electricity towards Denti knocking him out.

Roberto: Huh?

In slides in a black man wielding two pistols firing back. He joins storm and fires back at the F.O.H members.

Bishop: Whole announcement shtick didn't go over so well, did it?

Storm: Pardon me, Bishop, for striving to resolve matters peacefully.

Bishop: Real peaceful, Storm.

The F.O.H began to shoot at Bishop but he begins to glow pink as the energy from the blaster begins to course towards his arms.

Bishop: Keep shooting, punks. Is it me, or did these dirtbags get upgrades?

He then fires the energy built up back towards them. One F.O.H members shoot at a close by electrical circuit causing an explosion and Bishop taking cover while holding Storm, knocking them down.

Denti: Boot it up, boys. X-Men are like roaches. You see one, more are coming.

Roberto seeing the chaos, tries to flee but to no avail. All of a sudden, an explosion happens in a wall nearby and a man with an all black suit and a big yellow X running through chest stood there and behind him another man with a blue and yellow suit and a visor.
