| A vs. X |
[13 Apr 2012|02:14pm] |
1) A mutant (a technopath) shows up at the X-Mansion demanding sanctuary. When armored soldiers show up to try and retrieve him, this lends a lot of credence to his sincerity. The X-Men fight and drive off the soldiers. The mutant spins a story of horrible abuses at the hands of his captors. A telepathic scan verifies this.
2) Not long after, Alpha Flight shows up on the lawn, demanding the X-Men hand over the mutant and claiming he's an escaped prisoner and serial killer. The X-Men are disinclined to listen, especially knowing as intimately as they do about how crooked Department H and Canada and Weapon X and all that can be.
3) The Mansion's defenses activate, leading to the assumption that this is the X-Men throwing the first blow. Alpha Flight and the X-Men fight. (I'd like to keep this pretty even, if possible. One X-er for each Alpha; so unless we get a Guardian, no more than 5 X-Men.)
4) Inside, some of the other X-ers catch the mutant in the Mansion's lower depths. He turns on them, turning the Shi'ar tech of the Mansion against them. Fortunately, they manage to best him in the end.
5) They bring him out and manage to stop the fighting. A scan of his unconscious mind reveals that Alpha's story matches up and that whatever he had given the X-er's before was false. Alpha is allowed to take him.
6) Unbeknownst to Alpha, when they hand him over, the man is actually a Department H agent (or possibly Weapon X, whichever is the most evil proposition here), and the entire thing was simply a ruse to gain access to as much of the data from the X-Mansion as possible.
