"I don't like it," Logan said grimmly. "She ain't been around for months. Something is up."
"You mean Principal Darkholme hasn't been around for months," Cyclops said. "Mystique's probably still here."
"Not from what I can smell, kid," Logan said. "She hasn't been around. For all we know she's setting up another recruitment drive for Magneto somewhere else."
"Logan," Storm's voice called out. "You have a call."
The older mutant growled slightly and headed for the phone.
"Yeah?" he asked upon taking the phone.

Elsewhere in the mansion another phone call was being made.
"Mystique," Professor Xavier said as he picked up the phone. "It has been sometime since we've heard from you."
Half-way across the world in Japan, Mystique was momentarily surprised at how far Xavier's powers could reach.
"Professor Xavier," Mystique said after recovering herself. "I find myself in something of a desperate situation."
"Perhaps you could be a bit more specific," Professor Xavier asked cautiously.
"To start with," Mystique said. "I have another child who should be on the way to your school now."

"So, let me get this straight, Fury," Logan said. "You had a kid by Mystique and just now found this out?"
"That's the short of it, Logan," Nick Fury said. "The report I have says that he's tangled with Magneto recently and his mother is sending him to you for protection."
"Mystique works for Magneto," Logan said. "She'd be more likely to try to recruit the boy."
"If I have a son, Logan," Nick said. "I'd like the chance to know him."
"I get that," Logan said. "I'll talk to the Profesor and keep an eye out for any Japanese kids coming our way."
"Thank you, Logan," Nick said. "If he shows up tell me."
"No problem," Logan said as he hung up the phone.
In his mind he was thinking something else. He was beginning to wonder if perhaps that had been Nick Fury on the phone, and what real motivations Mystique had behind this little game.
"What is that woman?" Logan asked. "A baby factory? Three kids in time frame of two and a half years? She was wild as a kid."
"Logan," Xavier called out. "We have a situation developing."
