So I formed X-Force. And I told Wolverine to take his team and to kill. To kill the enemy before they could kill us. ... Because of X-Force, I think of things like genocide. I think of how I can use the worst of what we've faced as a weapon against our enemies. This is who I am now. ... When this is all said and done, we'll be cast out. By the X-Men, by the Avengers...by everyone.

Synopsis for the 1st StoryEdit

Both Scott and Emma is restless. The latter gets out of bed, staring out the window remembering what Beast's concern about the secret they're keeping. Scott decides that its past they "talk." However, Emma pushes him away

In the morning, Pixie, Armor and Prodigy find Scott lying on the couch. They ask him if he had seen Emma, considering that she missed her class and her room is very quiet. In a panic, Scott quickly rushes there and fins a note, stating that Emma has left to "kill" a man. Shocked, he alerts the Cuckoos to start searching for her while making psychic calls. When he opens a door to the outside, he find Emma standing there, having not gone through with her plan. They both decide to open up to each other. Going into Scott's mind, he shows her the secrets locked inside his black box. He shows her that he reformed X-Force as a black ops team, to do kill the enemy before they could. However, things got out of hand, as old enemies began to return from the dead and his team was hurt, both physically and mentally. He even risked Hellion, Surge and Boom Boom's lives while X-Force attempted to save them, only to be sent into the future to kill Bishop.

On Emma's side, she reveals her fling with Namor, drove away her students and her association with Osborn's Cabal.

Opening up to each other has enabled both Scott and Emma to reconcile with each other. Together, they promise no more secrets and kiss.
