Storm comes to her rescue and they make their way back to the mansion.
Beast and Jean have Jubilee checked out for any signs of illness. Jubilee is given a clean bill of health. Beast grows curious about the virus. He sneaks into the hospital where the infected man was warded to learn more about the virus. Meanwhile, the city has called to quarantine mutant safehouses.
Bishop tries to stop a riot outside a mutant safehouse. He is joined by the X-Men. After dispersing the crowd, the X-Men are quick to assume that the presence of Bishop means trouble is brewing nearby.
Back at the mansion, Bishop relates his new findings of the future. The X-Men have likely died of the virus early on, a virus that was engineered in a lab. Beast backs up Bishop’s statement with his own research into the virus. The X-Men contact President Kelly, who has invited Beast to join the hearings of the Senate regarding the virus.
At the headquarters of the Friends of Humanity, Creed is pleased that his scheme is panning out nicely. He plans to use Beast as a scapegoat at the Senate hearings. Unknown to him, his lead scientist is Apocalypse in disguise, with a virus created to rid the world of “mutants and humans”.
