Summary

  DaCosta Intl.'s board of directors plans to have Bobby killed rather than give in to threats (actually from Reignfire). Meanwhile, the NSA is keeping tabs on X-Force.

  Above Vegas, Bobby fights Reignfire for possession of his body. James tosses Dani up so she can psi-arrow him, and Meltdown distracts him with a timebomb down the pants.

  Siryn questions Joshua: he put Bobby's blood into a protoplasmic entity, which then duplicated him.

  Locus and Skids find themselves stranded on a mountain in Latveria, and are immediately kidnapped.

  James shoots Reignfire with Joshua's gun; Siryn adds her scream. They stop short of killing Bobby, and Reignfire creeps off him. SHIELD arrives and arrests him and Joshua.

  Bobby goes to his company to get money, and they sic Heroes for Hire on him, but he explains the situation and sends them home. He flies the team to Boulder to pick up their stuff, then to San Francisco to meet him. He has agreed to stay out of company business until he is 25, and the company has rented him a new headquarters for X-Force. He is also taking them to Hawaii for a vacation.
