For All Hope Lies In...

Yer name is Jay Guthrie an' yer a mutant.

Ya find it mighty unfair that bein' one of 'em makes yer prospects less'n bright.

So when ya learned that some visitin' Mister Fantastic had 'imself a cure made down in that lab of his before leavin' the world or somethin'...

Well, ya was less than happy that it was only given out while ya was dead.

But ya rub yer brain cells togetha, an' ya reckoned that sciency guys like that hafta haftemselves some backup.

Maybe God ain't gave ya a goose, but yer now breakin' into that Baxter Buildin' of 'is.

Them defenses got ya in a bad way, but yer power got ya right back on yer feet.

This happens a lot more as ya trudge onwerd, 'til ya get ta the lowest level and find nothin'.

Yer lament 'til a blast opens the floor 'neath yer feet and ya fall inta some secret lab...

Stronger defenses make ya scream but yer healin' outpaces the damage.

As ya mosey yer tail-end on yonder, ya find yaself a shelf of colored liquids.

One uvem gotta be the one yer lookin' for...

The pain stops and ya look up. The hole ya sashayed down has been blown apart even wider, an' a man is flyin' down.

His iron mask an' his green cape tell ya exactly who this gotta be. He is...

DOOM.

Master All That Lies Before

Yer name is Jay Guthrie an' yer a mutant.

Ya d'not enjoy bein' a mutant. If not for yer apparent immortality, you'd be wit' Julia 'gain.

Once more attending the school yer mama sent ya ta, ya feel outta place.

Wit yer peers, ya learned somethin' simple.

You was remembered. An' nuthin' beyond'at.

Yer death ain't impact nobody past a brief period of mournin'.

Fer all ya'd say 'bout not carin' for this school, it's upsetting.

So ya've locked yaself inta yer room, eatin' ice cream, singin' sorrow ta yaself, and listenin' ta some podcast ya heard about.

Yer just finishin' Episode 14.

Shifting in the Sepiatone

Ya scratch yer head as ya move inta yer new dorm room.

Not that ya need much moving.

Ya died an' have nothing.

'Nough 'bout that though.

This Schism thing ya've heard about...

Ya got no gosh darn idea which side's right.

Missus Frost scares ya.

Cyclops was friendlier back then.

But apparently his group're killers or somethin' now?

Ya reckon ya ain't muchuva fan of that.

Should ya even hafta decide?

Ya ain't sure ya even wanna be a mutant wit all the strife it's caused you.

Ya just want to be a singer. A gosh darn good one.

An' it ain't no fair that yer dreams gotta go in the gutter just cuz yer a mutant.

Cross My Heart and Hope To Die

It didn't take you long to get to back to the school.

Apparently being a corpse was a rather refreshing thing.

You felt like you'd just had a great nap.

Who knew?

Touch down.

You go to the front door and hesitate.

What if no one remembers you?

You're scared but...

You knock on the door.

...

Dadgummit, you're still covered in dirt! You should've found a place to shower first!

Ah'm Far From Invulnerable

Your name is Jay Guthrie. You're supposed to be dead.

So why aren't you?

And more importantly, Lord, your lungs burn-

It's pretty simple to burst out of the dirt you're buried in.

Your wings are back. But they were cut off?

You try to remember.

A priest promising salvation.

Dooming your friends.

Your wings being removed. Consciousness blipping in and out some years after that.

It takes a while to figure out. Sam was the smart one, not you.

Your healing factor must've relied on your wings somehow.

There wasn't enough wing left to stop you from dying.

So it took you, to revive... However long it's been.

Huh.

Guess you should head back to school.
