Summary

  Trevor is a young mutant whom Mystique has secretly been trying to help. He is chased down an alley by the Friends of Humanity, beaten, and hospitalized.

  The government has put X-Factor in restraints for a debriefing, but Mystique has sneaked away. She goes to Trevor's bedside in the shape of a doctor and swears vengeance. We learn that Onslaught has polarized society (even the nurse) against mutants. Mystique finds the "Friends," who are just a trio of punks, and terrorizes them, then impersonates one of them, and finds that her son Graydon is to blame for the attack on Trevor.

  Bowser interrogates each of the team members, who all refuse to admit the existence of Shard.
