Summary

  Siryn investigates the Weissman Institute's files on Stevens, a 10-year old inmate. (She also comes across records of Benjamin Russell, who looks like Shatterstar.) She is caught by Weissman, and explains she was sent undercover by Xavier, but she assumes she is insane and sedates her.

  Xavier had arranged for the Mimic to be cared for in Siberia, far from all mutants so his powers wouldn't go out of control. Now he attacks X-Force, blaming them for the deaths of his caretakers. He throws James through the PACRAT.

  Boomer continues to give Sabretooth milk. He purrs for her, and remembers his name is Victor.

  Sunspot grabs Mimic, who mimics his power, becoming another solar battery. Their powers repel; they explode and fall to earth.

  Wolverine visits Boomer in the night, warning her that he will still "finish" with Sabretooth, even if she gets in the way.

  Caliban tracks Mimic, but the trail ends abruptly at the site of another battle. Mimic has vanished.

  Siryn has been calling for X-Force on a home-made radio, but they haven't answered. So she calls Deadpool.
