 * Issue 06 - 'Another Brick in the Hall' **




 * Plot**

Panzer pursues the Brotherhood of Mutants from the New York City nightclub into the sewers to rescue Billy. He runs into Discord, who warns him that there was a fight ahead that he escaped. Panzer continues and at a sewer junction finds the Brotherhood all knocked out (Mystique, Burner, The Blob, Toad, Avalanche, Sabretooth, and new member Probe, who can locate mutants and discern how powerful they are). They are in a coma-like state, just like the teachers and students back at the mansion. Billy is also affected in the same fashion! An illusion of Discord appears and warns Panzer to get back to the mansion. He says Mystique has sent enemies to the school! Panzer sees through the illusion and notices Prism nearby creating the false Discord – but it’s a future version of Lucius, obviously older and with scars! Prism repeats the warning to get back to the mansion and slips away. Meanwhile, at school, a sentient version of the Danger Room (a robot that calls itself Danger) has been activated by one of the students at Mystique's order! Danger explodes out of the basement and begins attacking students. Prism, Bast, and Ruth are forced to fight the personified Danger Room with the assistance of Rafé and Meghan (Meghan has the ability to steal other students' powers - she has taken Nightcrawler's teleportation powers and has jumped back to the mansion to help). The group manages to defeat Danger. The seniors investigate how Danger was activated and discover that the security camera footage was deleted. Prism hacks into the security system and finds that the files were deleted remotely from a computer lab terminal. He takes fingerprints, compares them to the files, and discovers that it’s Tiberius – one of their prefects! They call down the prefects and confront Tiberius, who admits that he’s a follower of Magneto and was working with Mystique, but didn’t know what the code he entered would do. He also says there is a “Magneto fan club” at school. They strip him of his prefect status. They also reprimand Meghan for going to New York City and Frankie (Tiberius’ girlfriend) for knowing about the Magneto club and not telling anyone. Frankie says that the members of the club know that Samantha is Mystique’s daughter! Due to seeing real battle, Ruth takes the code name Blindfold, Rafé takes the code name Lobo, and Meghan takes the code name Swipe. A week passes, and at the spring formal, Ruth approaches the seniors: Liam has used Cerebro at her behest and has located the future Prism that Dane saw in the sewers beneath New York City. The future Prism is in the nearby Morlock tunnels. But there's more - in the tunnels are several mutants, each of them a future version of the seniors...
