Meanwhile, the X-Men were locked in combat with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
-Be careful, my X-Men!- Professor X intoned in their brains. -Do not underestimate the threat you're facing!-
Cyclops' bolts and Iceman's ice glanced off Magneto's shield as the Angel avoided the Toad's bouncing blows and the Beast leaped towards the sneering Blob. Meanwhile. Marvel-Girl found everything around her had transformed into hissing snakes.

Jean lit a cigarette and rubbed her tangled hair, faded red streaked with gray. The Brotherhood vs. the X-Men. Jean Wyngarde, Mistress Mind, felt kinship for both teams.

"Okay, we need to get moving!' Janet said, slamming her fast against the table. "If we don't get to Zemo, who knows what sort of shit he'll pull!"
Hankie giggled and blushed. Janet was so masterful!
Janet looked a little flushed too. Taking charge always did turn her on.
