I have been eyeballing this page for some time now. I ran into Anthony at Super Megafest in Framingham MA and we made the deal.

In Dallas, Storm does her best to prevent debris from the devastated Eagle Plaza from falling and harming the civilians on the ground below. But the civilians mistake her actions and accuse her of terrorizing the city with her power. Storm is suddenly attacked by a mob of angry civilians. However, a police officer comes to her defense, claiming he knows what it is like to defend a world that hates and fears you, enabling Storm to continue protecting everyone. Up above, Bishop manages to get into Eagle Plaza, and finds a somewhat familiar construct inside Forge’s lab. Bishop explores the construct, and soon finds Forge and the wounded Mystique within it. But outside, the civilians are not going to give up without a fight - fortunately Iceman arrives to lend Storm a hand, and holds the crowd back with a large ice-web. Inside, Bishop and Forge rush to get the wounded Mystique to safety, but as they attempt to escape, Trevor Fitzroy returns - though before he can act he is attacked by Jean Grey, who has arrived with Colossus and Archangel. Fitzroy gets up and attacks Forge and Bishop though, until a furious Colossus, plagued with thoughts of his ailing sister, fed up with the actions of evil mutants, tackles Fitzroy and repeatedly punches him as he knocks him several floors below. His teammates stop Colossus from doing any further damage while Jean tries to calm him down. At the Xavier Institute, Professor Xavier uses his power to make the sick Illyana believe Colossus is at her side. While trying not to study, Jubilee answers the door and gets a surprise visitor - Kitty Pryde!
