X-Men: The Last Stand Page #2

Synopsis: When a cure is created, which apparently can turn any mutant into a normal human being, there is outrage amongst the mutant community. Whilst some mutants do like the idea of a cure, including Rogue, many mutants find that there shouldn't be a cure. Magneto, who still believes a war is coming, recruits a large team of mutants to take down Warren Worthington II and his cure. Might seem easy for the X-Men to stop, but Magneto has a big advantage, which Wolverine doesn't have. Jean Grey has returned, and joined with Magneto. The Phoenix has woken within her, which has the ability to destroy anything in her way, even if that 'anything' is a X-Men.

but he has no consciousness to speak of.

What if we were to transfer

the consciousness of one person,

say a father of four with terminal cancer,

into the body of this man?

How are we to decide what falls within

the range of ethical behavior and what...

Professor?

We'll continue this tomorrow.

Class dismissed.

The forecast was for sunny skies.

I'm sorry.

I don't have to be psychic

to see that something's bothering you.

I don't understand. Magneto's a fugitive,

we've a mutant in the cabinet,

a president who understands us - why hide?

We're not hiding. But we still have enemies.

I must protect my students. You know that.

Yes, but we can't be students forever.

Storm, I haven't thought of you

as my student for years.

In fact, I thought that perhaps

you might take my place some day.

- But Scott's...

- Scott's a changed man.

He took Jean's death so hard.

Yes, things are better out there,

but you, of all people,

know how fast the weather can change.

There's something you're not telling us.

Hank?

Ororo. Charles.

I love what you've done with your hair.

You too. Thank you for seeing me

on such short notice.

Henry, you are always welcome here.

You're a part of this place.

- I have news.

- Is it Eric?

No. Though we have been making

some progress on that front.

- Mystique was recently apprehended.

- Who's the fur ball?

Hank McCoy. Secretary of Mutant Affairs.

Right, right. The secretary. Nice suit.

- Henry, this is Logan. He's...

- Wolverine.

- I hear you're quite an animal.

- Look who's talking.

Magneto's gonna come get Mystique.

Magneto's not the problem.

At least not our most pressing one.

A major pharmaceutical company

has developed a mutant antibody.

A way to suppress the mutant X gene.

- Suppress?

- Permanently.

They're calling it a cure.

That's ridiculous.

You can't cure being a mutant.

- Scientifically speaking...

- When did we become a disease?

Storm.

They're announcing it now.

These so-called mutants

are people just like us.

Their affliction is nothing more

than a disease,

a corruption of healthy cellular activity.

But I stand here today

to tell you that there's hope.

This site, once the world's

most famous prison,

will now be the source of freedom

for all mutants who choose it.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I proudly present the answer to mutation.

Finally, we have a cure.

Who would want this cure? I mean, what

kind of coward would take it just to fit in?

Is it cowardice to save oneself

from persecution?

Not all of us can fit in so easily.

- You don't shed on the furniture.

- The government probably cooked this up.

- The government had nothing to do with it.
