Alaska unrest: What happens at Roxxon....

Bennett Wilson was not happy that his little operation had been found out by some rag tag bunch of do-gooders who were now taking out his soldiers. He had just punched a hole in a conference room wall when Abraham Cornelius walked in on him.

"And, what do you want?" Wilson grumbled as he wiped the blood off his hand. "You had better be giving me good news, or I will send you out into the fight, old man."

"Temper, temper, Wilson," Cornelius said as he handed Bennett a flash drive and pointed to a monitor. "All is not lost. See that girl? She may be the key to everything you ever wanted. Just watch her."

Wilson watched as the woman seemingly erupted in flames and flew into the oncoming soldiers. "She is no ordinary pyrokene, is she?"

"No, that is a Phoenix, and from what our currently off-world associate says, she is a rare one indeed. Capturing her now is likely foolish, but...we might be able to monitor her a bit longer so you can see what an asset it is that she found us."

"I know you didn't want to work with him, but he is good at his craft, and he has been able to give us so many delightful new specimens," Cornelius continued as Bennett watched the monitor. "He has worked with that particular genome before...and had great success."

Cornelius was not thrilled that this mysterious benefactor was also a mutant, but he would learn to live with it for now. There was a lot that needed to be accomplished, and he knew his work was only a part of a greater plan.

"If we play our cards right, we can get some of my old test subjects back, and that girl might be the key to it all, Wilson," Cornelius added as he kept watching the monitor as well. "She is, after all, her mother's daughter, and the universe, as far as the mutants are concerned, revolves around them both."
