Xavier Institute For Gifted Children

Jean Grey sits, hovering above the grass in the grounds of the Xavier Institute. She's approached by her boyfriend, Scott Summers, who makes an excuse for wanting to be with his girlfriend. Jean doesn't mind that she wants to be with her and miss the trip to Coney Island fair. They start to talk, and Jean mentions the sunset, and that it may be a side-effect of global warming. Scott replies that everything looks red to him, because of his optic lenses. Jean asks him to take off his glasses, but Scott worries about the fact he isn't in control without them. Jean asks if Scott loves her, of which he replies with a 'Of course'. Jean takes off his glasses, and once again asks him to open his eyes. As he does, a shining optic blast enters the skies of Westchester...

Coney Island

Meanwhile, Colossus, Storm, Wolverine, Shadowcat, Rogue, Dazzler and Iceman have taken off on a trip to Coney Island fair, where Colossus attempts to win on a fairground strength game. When he fails to win a prize, he claims the game is rigged. He gathers strength to try again - he needs something to send home to his sister, Illyana - but Storm convinces him to stop. The X-Men decide to split up. Iceman, Rogue and Shadowcat head for the 'Spin 'N' Puke' and Logan and Storm go for a walk, leaving Colossus and Dazzler alone.

Dazzler starts to flirt with Colossus, who turns her down. As they start to go for a walk, they pass a man in the shadows. A man with glowing red eyes...

Elsewhere, Storm and Logan have found an attraction exploiting mutants. Storm starts to get angry, yet Logan calms her down. Storm tells Logan it reminds her of the way people treated Hank, and they way people still treat Nightcrawler and Angel...

Xavier Institute For Gifted Children

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Nightcrawler and Angel are fighting in the Danger Room under a pirate theme. As Angel worries about what the Pofessor will say, little does he know that he's watching them from the booth above.

Coney Island

Back at the fair, Bobby and Kitty are waiting for Rogue, who has gone to the bathroom. As Bobby asks Kitty what her problem with Rogue really is, they get caught up in the moment, and Bobby kisses her. As Rogue walsk out of the bathroom, she sees the two of them, and ends up knocking Kitty unconscious. A man walks over, asking if there's a problem, just before he reveals himself as Gambit - the man with the glowing eyes. He charges up a playing card, before exploding it in an iced-up Bobby's face, knocking him backwards into a pile of rubbish.

Dazzler, Colossus, Storm and Wolverine arrive, but to keep them busy, he throws a charged card at the Big Wheel, knocking it off, and causing havok on the ground of the fairground. Storm, Colossus and Dazzler go to help those trapped and stop the wheel, as Wolverine goes head to head against Gambit. However, as Gambit grabbles with the X-Man, she shoves a charged pole in his mouth, and makes it blow up in his mouth.

With the rest of the X-Men kept busy, Gambit grabs Rogue, telling her he's been sent to steal her...
