Nyx was rudely awakened by Peter's shrill scream.

"What?"

Hank's voice asks.

"What's wrong with you? Is that going to happen to all of us?"

Nyx disorientedly sits up, and notices that Hank is blue.

"No, I just left my meds in the house."

Hank sighs.

The house.

The explosion.

Alex.

"Oh god."

She whispers sitting up.

"Oh god.. What happened?! Please, please tell me I didn't kill anyone."

She says, bringing her knees to her chest.

"What do you mean?"

Moira asks.

"That's why we're locked in here right? I killed someone I lost control I-"

"Nyx. It's okay, some sort of concussive force hit us before.. Your alright no one's hurt."

Hank assures her placing a fuzzy blue hand on her shoulder.

"Alex.."

She croaks, rocking back and forth.

Hank sighs.

"We'll all miss him."

Nyx shakes her head.

"He was like my brother, he was Scott's brother!"

Nyx sniffs then looks up.

"Where are we?"

She asks, taking a deep, shaky, breath. Wiping the moisture from around her eyes.

"Not sure yet."

Raven replies, before turning to the window above them.

"Hey. Hey!"

Raven shouts waving her arms.

Nyx accepts Peter's outstretched hand and let's him pull her to her feet.

She continued to take shuddering breaths as a familiar face appeared in the window.

"Hello, Mystique."

He greets.

"Major Stryker."

Raven replies recognizing the man, obviously unhappily.

"Colonel Stryker."

He corrects smugly.

"I wouldn't get too close to the wall if I were you. It may create some... discomfort."

Nyx examines the laser lining, smelling a hint of burned flesh.

They weren't the first mutants to be caged in here like animals.

"I'm Moira MacTaggert. I'm a senior officer at the CIA."

Moira says standing.

"I know who you are, agent MacTaggert."

Stryker replies.

"You cannot keep me here in this..."

"Actually, I can. A psychic event just destroyed every nuke from here to Moscow. That event emanated from exactly where we found you. At the home of the world's most powerful psychic.
So, you're going to tell me. Where is Charles Xavier?"
