Stacy's mother quickly regained her composure. "I guess you'd better come
in and tell us what this is all about," she said. "Stacy, would you show
Mr Summers through into the lounge, please. I'll join you once I've
cleaned up the mess I made."
Stacy did as she was asked, and she and Scott Summers sat in facing chairs. "Those are very strange goggles you are wearing," she observed. "I have to wear them to avoid accidents. There's no point in my not being frank with you. My eyes emit a heat ray. The glasses are a precaution, to make sure that I don't accidentally incinerate anything." "Ah, yes. My mother mentioned just now that you were one of the - pardon the expression - Mystery Mutants." "Yes. They call me Cyclops, even though I have two eyes rather than one." There was an awkward silence, as neither of them seemed to be able to think of anything else to say. It was broken by Stacy's mother coming in and sitting down. "So, Mr Summers," she said. "Who are these people who want to kill us? Why would they want to do that? And how do you come to be involved?"
