01x02 - Hindsight: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Previously on
Wolverine and the X-Men:

You know I'll be back, Rogue.

Who cares? Maybe
I'll just take off too.

Charles.

Jean!

The expl*si*n

was indeed centered
on Charles' position.

I don't know where anyone is.

It's those freaking mardies.

They snatched up a
family just for helping me.

They're arresting
non-mutants now?

I gotta fix this, and
I want you with me.

Hank, we both
know what's going on.

There's a w*r coming.

So, what's next?

We bring back the X-Men.

Patrol 616 to dispatch.

Advise, we'll be dropping
our perp off at MRD.

Is it Toad?

Uh, yeah, it's Toad again.

Let me out of here, po-pos.

Oh, okay. Who
you calling a perp?

Oh, this is messed up.

Y-you don't know
who you're dealing with.

I tried to tell
'em, Blob. I did.

They found out who we are,
huh? Yeah. Yeah, didn't they?

This is getting real old, Toad.

Give Senator Kelly a little
message from the Brotherhood:

There's no stopping the mutants.

And we're coming for him next.

So the Brotherhood
is now threatening me.

Am I scared?

Yes, as you should be,

because mutants
are a danger to us all,

despite the protection of
these fine officers from the MRD.

These creature simply...

Get out of the car, Warren.
You're embarrassing me.

Isn't it enough he
gets our money, Dad?

I have to cheer him on too?

That man is a
champion of the people.

Some people. Not all of us.

Requiring mutants

to register their abilities

is just our first
line of defense.

They're waging
w*r on us, people.

It's time we fight back...

with this.

The Sentinel Prowler.

Please,

don't be alarmed.

You are all quite safe.

All right, that's
enough. Shut it down.

I'm trying, sir.

It's not responding.

Are you all right?

Oh, great, now that I see
the X-Men are back together.

Oh, well...

We're not.

We're still kind
of sorting that out.

Warren. Logan.

So, what about you?

Isn't it time you came back?

Oh, sorry, I... I can't.

But I thought your father
found out you're a mutant.

He did. Still hates
mutants, though.

And that makes me the
family's dark little secret.

So why live under his thumb?

Because right now I
help a lot of mutants

with the family money.

And if I joined
any mutant group,

he'd cut me off.

I understand.

Mardies. That's my exit cue.

Hey, Hank, good luck, huh?

The world really
needs the X-Men.

Rogue, I know you
came to this rally

because you hate
what's going on.

So?

So together we can
do something about it.

Just come back
to the X-Men and...

Forget it. Why?

The reason you don't
know is exactly why.

I want you to come back.

I'm not going to let
you abandon me again.

Your problem is you can't
stay in one place, Logan.

And no one can follow a
leader who's never there.

She just needs a little time.

Yeah, maybe, but
she's right, Hank.

No one's coming
back if I'm in charge.

This is a disaster, Warren.

We cannot afford to lose
support of the Registration Act.

I know. Here's my suggestion:

Make an announcement
that the Prowler program

has been shut down permanently.

Why?

Because then you
can put the focus

back where you need it:

on the Brotherhood.

Trust me, it won't be long

before those th*gs
remind everyone

why registering
mutants is a good idea.

Help a fellow out
with a donation?

Take a hike.

Ah, you wearing any jewelry?

What have you been eating? Bugs?

Sorry about Toad. He's new.

What do you want?

Guys, how about you let
the ladies have a moment?

We got nothing to talk about.

Sure we do. I mean,
we are both mutants.

Don't compare yourself to me.

You're a criminal. You're
making it hard for all of us.

It was hard long
before we got involved.

We're not the ones who
picked this fight, Rogue.

We're just standing
up for ourselves

and for those who
can't fight back.

By terrorizing the city?

By refusing to back down.

Rogue, don't you ever
get tired of being bullied,

of being hated just
because you're different?

And now they
want us to register.

Come on, what's
next, locking us up?

It's time we stop being
victims. It's time we unite.

Rogue, you feel the
same way. I know you do.

You're asking me to join you?

We're not the X-Men.
We don't abandon our own.

And if you doubt
that, just look at Toad.

Hang with us tonight, Rogue.

We're planning a little
chat with Senator Kelly later.

Then you'll see how
good it feels to get results.

With his Mutant Registration Act

hanging in the balance,

the senator has promised
a press conference

sometime tomorrow from
an undisclosed location.

Nice digs. You done
feeling sorry for yourself?

Don't go there, Logan.

Look at you. You're no good
to anybody now, are you?

Get outta here.

So without Jean, there's
no one worth fighting for.

Heh. So much for the big hero.

When the going gets
tough, the tough pack it in.

Is that it, huh?

Good talk.

No one's home.
Nice kitchen, though.

Avalanche, our
calling card, please.

What are you doing?

Get your hands off of me, X-Man.

Why do you have
to destroy his home?

Because when the
Brotherhood leaves a message,

it ain't a note on the door.

Rogue,

if the Registration Act passes,

it will be our homes
that get taken away.

Hey, check this. Okay?

Anybody up for a little ride?

Your turn.

But I, uh...

Look, nobody do anything stupid.

Hit it.

This girl can drive.

The Brotherhood escaping

after leveling an entire street

of empty warehouses.

Still at large, the...

Uh-uh-uh.

What do you want with me?

You've got Kelly's ear.
We want the rest of him.

Where is he?

I'm not telling you anything.

Au contraire, you're
gonna tell us everything.

And I mean everything.

Rogue?

Warren. Sit still.

We're almost done.

All we need is
Kelly's itinerary.

Get away from me.

You all right?

I got it.

Strike two. No Rogue.

And definitely no Cyclops.

Who else have you tracked down?

I found Kitty. She
moved in with her parents,

but when they started
getting harassed,

she just up and disappeared.

I also found Peter in Russia.

I spoke to him but he refuses
to leave his family again.

And I had high hopes for Bobby,

but his parents refuse
to let me talk to him.

So right now the X-Men
consist of you and me

and a stolen MRD helicopter.

Well, considering the
Brotherhood's got Blob and Toad,

I'd say odds are
still in our favor.

Better recalculate.

Rogue's joined them.

What? Are you sure?

Positive. They
broke into our house

so she could siphon
information from my father.

No. What were they after?

Senator Kelly's itinerary.

They now know
everything my father knows.

They're going to
take down the senator.

How do you wanna handle this?

We stop 'em.

But first we have a little talk

with Bobby's parents.

Kelly's having his
press conference here?

Are you sure? Yeah.

A manufacturing plant owned
by Worthington Industries.

Good. So at 12:00 sharp
when Kelly shows up,

we end this.

Bobby is 18 after all.

Legally, he can
decide for himself.

You are not getting
our son back.

We will not let him
leave this house.

You guys nearly got
him k*lled last year.

But...

This isn't fair.

I wanna go with them.

Bobby,

wait for us upstairs.

Mr. and Mrs. Drake, please,

just talk to him about it.

I've already called the
police. They're on their way.

Okay, we tried it your way.

You coming or what?

Your son's a
mutant. Deal with it.

All right.

The X-Men are back.

Well, kind of. It's just us.

Oh. What about Kitty?

Couldn't you catch
her before she left?

You know where she is?

She told me she's
heading to Genosha.

Her ship left this morning.

It's about time.

Rogue. I knew you'd come back.

Give us a minute.

Let's see if we can't
find some uniforms

that aren't scorched
or laser-burned, huh?

What are you doing here?

I, uh... I want to come back.

Really? Why?

I thought I was the
same as them, but...

I am not an assassin.

Okay, Rogue. Tell
me what you know.

They're going to
hit Senator Kelly

at the press
conference, 12 noon.

Why is he going
forward with this?

He knows this press
conference is vital.

You didn't tell him about
the Brotherhood, did you?

The MRD can protect him.

And if he's attacked
while on national television,

the Registration Act
is all but guaranteed.

You're using him as bait.

My dearest citizens,

I'm coming to you with
a most heartfelt apology

for yesterday's
unfortunate incident.

How's your trigger finger?

Itching.

Hmm.

We got X-Men.

Domino, now.

We're too late. It's happening.

Shadowcat, phase us in.

Okay, hang on.

Go, go, go.

They're not here.

Huh?

X-Men, let's go.

Don't let them get away.

We were set up.

The Brotherhood used Rogue.

Wait, where is she?

Come on. I'm going back.

Get in.

Not without Rogue.
She's still in there.

No, she got out. I saw her.

Now come on.

I've been assured
by the president

that the Mutant Registration Act

will be signed tomorrow.

So the Brotherhood, the
X-Men, your days are numbered.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Good news. The MRD
doesn't have Rogue.

She must have just taken
off, probably blaming herself.

Yeah.

Logan, what happened today...

You tried to save a
man who hates you.

That is exactly what Charles
Xavier would have done.

Nice job. QUICKSILVER: Yeah.

In one fell swoop,
you set up the X-Men

and proved your loyalty
to the Brotherhood.

Welcome aboard.
