" Jean?" " Jean?" " Jean?" " Jean!" "The cars are still in the garage." "And this jack-in-the-box." "I wonder if it has any significance." "What, that?" "It's nothing." "Jean won it at the carnival last week." "We've combed the mansion." "There's no sign of her." "Then sometime during the night Jean simply vanished." " Hank, how's your progress?" " Nothing yet." "I've begun scanning news and police sources for the entire East Coast." "What about Cerebro?" "Pick anything up?" "No." "It won't detect her until she uses her powers." "Well, let's hope that if she does use them it's not because she's in danger." "Duncan, is Jean over there?" "Have you heard from her at all?" "All right." "Thanks." "No, no." "Nothing to worry about." "Bye." "Taryn, hi." "Listen, have you seen Jean around?" "Oh, relax, Lance!" "I never said you guys kidnapped her!" "As if one of you hadn't tried it before." "Clear." "We really ought to be out looking for Jean with the others." "Hey, last I heard, we're supposed to have class." "Yeah, but without an instructor?" "When has that ever stopped us?" "Today's lesson: the danger room." "Hey, guys, wait up!" "Nobody told me we were having a session here." "Wow." "What an oversight." "Imagine that." "Forget it, Multiple." "You can't handle the danger room." "No way!" "If you can, I can." "Sorry, Jamie." "We're just more experienced at this stuff than you." " Yeah, she was in here." " When?" "About 4 this morning." "Bought a ticket to Boston." "It's confirmed." "She's in Boston." " So she's using her powers?" " Most decidedly." "The jet's prepped." "Let's go." "There's no point." "After stealing that ring she obviously left." " How do you know?" "Cerebro has detected a fleeting use of her powers near the train." "I believe she's on the move." "Man, what is going on with her?" "This doesn't make any sense." "Scott, we'll find her." "I promise." "But we simply must wait for another lead." "This is going well!" "All the other X-Men make it look so easy." " Come on." "We can do this." "Everyone combine your powers on mine first." "Now Berserker's." "Yeah." "That was cake!" "We rule!" "What are you talking about?" "I'm totally chafed!" "Class dismissed." "I'm out of here!" "Hey, what gives?" "I think we got some extra credit coming our way." "So, still think it was cake?" " You did this?" " Let's get him!" "We'll get him tomorrow." "Yeah." "Tomorrow's good." "Identity confirmed." "Welcome, Jean Grey." "Security system is disabled." "Jean?" "Jean!" "Jean, what are you...?" "Professor, wake up!" "Jean, she was here!" "And now Kurt's gone." "We got a match on a face-recognition scan." " Where?" " Airport surveillance." "Where were they going?" "Cross-referencing ticket sales with the time that was recorded." "Looks like New York City." " Scott, you and Logan..." " We're already gone." "Wolverine, Cerebro has detected their powers at Fifth and Byron." " The Township Bank." " We're on it." " They're in the vault." " And I got the combination right here." "Jean, it's us." "Take it easy." "This is starting to get me seriously upset!" "There are three of them." "Tibetan artifacts." "Early Han Dynasty, if I'm not mistaken." "The second ring has been kept in a safety-deposit box." " Let me guess." "In the Township Bank." " Until now." " Where's the third?" " Still looking." "Jean!" "She's here." "We're sealed in." " Is that the guy you saw in Jean's head?" " It is." "Now, I'll have Cerebro scan its mutant profiles to find a match." "Don't bother." "I know that face." "The mind-bending Mesmero." "He was in Bayville last week with Circus of Mystery." "Then we need to attend their next engagement." "Professor, the last remaining ring?" "It resides in Washington, D.C., at the Museum of Eastern Antiquities." "Security, go to amber alert." "Something's going down." "You can't land that here!" "Who are you?" "All right, speak up!" "What are you doing here?" "Hey!" "Intruders on level eight!" "Hold it right there!" "About time." "We aren't exactly dressed for socializing with the general public." "That's okay." "We'll all fit right in at the circus." " There they are." " Try to keep them occupied." "I've got an appointment with a mutant named Mesmero." "I don't like this." "They're our friends." "We just gotta subdue them." "No one has to get hurt." "Yeah?" "Tell that to them." "Come on, Kurt!" "Don't fight me!" "Look out!" "Would you knock that off?" "Jean!" "Twerp, you know I could never hurt you." "This is why I don't like to play nice." "Jean, stop!" "Fight it!" "I'll deal with Mesmero." "Just don't give him what he wants." "Oh, no, you don't!" "This ain't gonna be easy on either of us." "But mostly you." "Mesmero." "You may have been able to control their minds, but can you handle mine?" "You have no idea who you're messing with, Xavier." "Whoa." "What's going on?" "How did we get here?" "Yeah, sure, now you're all better." "Easy, Jean." " Scott?" " I'm right here." "Everything's okay." "Hey, where did he go?" "Are you all right?" "Did Mesmero hurt you?" "Not Mesmero, Hank." "Mesmero was just another puppet, like Jean." "There was someone else pulling the strings." "A mind more powerful than anything I've ever encountered." "What could he possibly want with those rings?" "I really don't know, but I doubt we'll like the answer." "I have done as commanded." "The first door has been opened." "I await your instruction on the location of the other two keys." "Understood." "I will find them." "And the world will once again tremble at the presence of Apocalypse."
