Wearing the Face that She Keeps in a Jar By the Door

The site of the recently restored Braddock Lighthouse. Aircraft hangars and other X-Men facilities, including a Cerebra unit and the Danger Room have been constructed around the foundations of the lighthouse.

Wearing the Face that She Keeps in a Jar By the Door

Keeping a shapeshifter contained is always a bit of a tricky puzzle.

The solution, this time, was presented by the way Will was captured. Since Tereza already had her on ice, the decision was made to lock her in a cell in the Point with deep-freeze capabilities -- essentially a -80 fridge. They had allowed the ice to thaw around her head so she could communicate, but that was about all they were willing to do at the moment, with the hopes that the cold would prevent her from using her expansive shifting powers to test the limits of the secure facility.

In most other situations, the end result would be quite comical -- a Will-flavored icepop stuck in the freezer, waiting to be let out. When the one behind the controls was a psychopathic serial killer, on the other hand, the situation was a bit more grim.

"Alright, who are you and what have you done to Will?" Nailah demands as she walks in. She's left her crutch at the entrance to the cell block, trying to appear less weak.

"Really, those are the questions you want to be opening with? So boring, so predictable." Will sneered.

"That's where you're wrong, pretty bird. You're all here to entertain me.

You think you're all very clever, with your technology keeping me in here. I'll tell you what, though -- I've been out before, and I'll be out again. Better people than you have tried to end me, and I'm still here. I will always be here."

Nailah frowns a little. Why did that sound so familiar? She shakes her head slightly to clear it.

"Yeah, well, 'out' is what we want you to be. Out of Will."

"Again, better have tried. I'm just taking my rightful spot in the pecking order here.

You didn't think someone as weak as Will could hold me back forever, did you?"

"Oh please. The comparisons with your precious Miriam only go skin deep. That unambitious, broken woman has nothing in common with me.

I am Melpomene, pretty bird. Forged out of tragedy."

"You speak in the future tense, little precog.

It has been decided. The decision has already been made. I twisted and I fought and I spun my web, and I manipulated events to get to this point. I win. I always win."

Run along, pretty bird, or else I'll have to make sure I pay you a visit first when I get out of here."
