Cyclops

Team, we have confirmation Alison is trapped in that building. Brotherhood agents are closing in.

Cyclops

Storm, I need you to create cover. Wolverine, Psylocke - you're our advance team.

Storm

The elements answer my call. Let the mist conceal our movements!

Storm

Rogue, are you in position for extraction once we locate her?

Wolverine

I can smell her fear from here. Third floor, east side.

Wolverine

Got at least five hostiles between us and her. Don't worry, I'll leave some for you, Psylocke.

Psylocke

I'm detecting multiple minds guarding the stairwell. Their thoughts are... disturbingly violent.

Psylocke

I'll take the high route and meet you inside, Logan.

Rogue

Y'all be careful in there. Jean's scanning for additional Brotherhood reinforcements in the area.

Rogue

Jubilee and I have the extraction route secured, but there's an awful lot of civilians still trapped in the crossfire.

Jean Grey

I've located Alison. She's terrified but unharmed. I'm projecting calming thoughts to her.

Jean Grey

Wait... something's wrong. I'm detecting another mutant signature with her. It feels... familiar.

Jubilee

Guys! I think this whole thing is a setup! I just spotted Mystique heading into the building's basement!

Jubilee

And she's definitely not alone down there!

Wolverine

It's a trap? Well, ain't that just typical Tuesday for the X-Men.

Wolverine

Good thing springing traps is what we do best, bub!
