Plot[]

When Storm exhibits her powers to save the life of a young graduate student, Xavier appears to explain her mutant heritage. One night during a talk with Erik whom he refers to as Magnus, both Xavier and Erik watch television to discover that Canadian authorities had apprehended a mutant and was able to get him into custody as Logan revealed his Adamantium claws to defend himself from a bear attack. As Xavier departs, a maid, whom served tea to the two reverts back to her true form as Mystique and watches as the Professor leaves after Erik remains adamant that mutants were Homo Superior much to his friend's dismay.

Back at the Institute, Storm questions Xavier about his encounter but the Professor assures her that he is certain mutants and humans could still co-exist and suggests he could help Logan as he offers a drink to his new recruit. After Ororo uses lightning to charge Cerebro, Xavier utilises the device to track down Logan and located him in Canada. In Canada, Logan breaks out of his confinement and runs down an alley only to be chased by the police, in the alley, an old homeless man sits on the ground and mentions that the man they were after had cut through the bars and escaped. As the officers thank him for his contribution, the man gleefully responds it was his pleasure as he then turns back into Mystique once the police leave the area. As he escapes , Logan is then confronted by Storm who assures him that she is a mutant just like him as a projection of Xavier appears to explain to Logan who exactly he was.

Just then, Erik appears in the area in an effort to convince Logan to join him as he knew of how humans hated their kind but Logan, who hated war and did not want to participate in any more violence, voiced his distaste and sided with Xavier and Storm who had watched the encounter from the sides and were pleased after Logan then sides with them. A year later, Storm and Logan return from a mission they were on and explain to Xavier that Erik was still out in the world causing trouble. As they continued their talk, Logan began to show his liking for how well the Institute began to look as Xavier goes on to explain that he wanted to open a school for mutants who needed help with their powers and as a safe area for mutants who were struggling. As he further explained his vision, he then activated a newly repaired and improved Cerebro where he had the machine show Storm and Logan a picture of Scott Summers, whom at the time was located in Anchorage, Alaska, the three took notice in the picture which showed Scott in the process of using his optic blasts.
