Putting aside such deep and troubled thoughts I looked at my gains. First the base sublime was using to study mutants. Obviously I couldn't keep it as I didn't have the proper paper work for this and now that it has been exposed it will definitely be targeted. The only thing that I could do at this time was gather the research contained within the servers and destroy whatever I couldn't take with me.

Secondly was all the daughters of my new co-conspirator Emma Frost. I could easily win brownie points by revealing this to her. I could also have them brought to my mansion and provide my own indoctrination changing these girls into perfect soldiers willing to fight and die for me. Honestly there doesn't seem to be any significant downsides for acquiring these girls.

Finally there is Jean my greatest achievement. Although at first glance it seems like there wasn't much progress but in reality there was plenty. Jean had actively taken a life on her own. This very action completely goes against the core concept of what she was taught all of her life. Most importantly it was her choice granted it was under duress but someone like her would not use that excuse.

My only concern was how much of the Phoenix force seals were broken. If it was loosened then I could work on training Jean to take control over her power and begin molding her to my desire. If it was completely shattered then I would have be extra careful with my decisions and do my best to make her see me as her support. If that fails hopefully trick the Phoenix force into the Stepford Cuckoos to trap it. If all else fails get Jean to leave the planet to wreak havoc in space.

"Cortana?"

"Cortana?"

Cortana: ...Bzzzt..yes.. I'm here sir bzzz *static noise* I am having trouble communicating but I hear you

"Good enough Cortana gather whatever you can from the facility and wake up the girls in the pods as safely as possible keep in mind that we don't have much time"

M'Shen slung an unconscious Jean over her shoulder before waking her apprentices.

Felicia: What the fuck I thought we died back there...

Selena: Obviously not as I don't see Saint Peter

Felicia: Like you would go to heaven

Selena:Your right this is clearly hell because I'm here with you

"Ladies please focus we have about a thousand teens to rescue from this shit hole and we need to make certain that there aren't any extra then those I am aware of"

Without further argument they both quieted down and began searching room to room eliminating anyone not marked as a victim. Killing nurses and doctors wasn't easy for the girls... well except M'Shen but then again she was raised as an assassin. I of course did my do diligence looking into their minds and ensuring that they were either no one of significance or related to anyone who matters.

Sure some of the women were gorgeous but it was to be expected in this world many women easily outclassed super models of the world I came from. This was probably due on artists being reluctant to drawing ugly women in comics. Either way I wasn't about to let a pretty face come between me and my ambition. So with no hesitation I killed them just as quickly as anyone else that got in my way.

X-men X-jet 3rd person POV:

The X-men approach the sight where Jean's power spiked unsure of what they were about to witness but fearing the worst. Arriving on scene they saw a long line of teenage girls heading to a familiar spaceship that they knew all too well. Around the sea of blondes were a few women guiding them to ships and handing out clothes. Not too far away they found Jean sitting with her hands on her head while was someone rubbing her back.

Shadow cat: Whatever happened here it looks like we're late to the party

Beast: If we want answers I think we might know who will have them

As they began to descend all heads turned toward the X-jet. The blonde girls immediately turned into human shaped diamonds while the women from earlier stood infront protectively. As the ramp descended before they could say anything Wolverine became tense and his instincts screamed something was wrong with the smell of death hung in the air.

The smell wasn't strong enough for the others to perceive it but it was definitely there that wasn't a mistake and it wasn't long ago; but none of that is what had him on edge. It was the brown hair girl standing in front of a woman in a lab coat alert glaring directly at him claws out. It was clear that she didn't want to leave the woman's side but also saw him as a threat that she wanted to eliminate.
