"Well, our two situations do tie-in to each other. We were thinking of
asking Stacy to join our team as a behind the scenes comptroller. Our 'X-
Men', if you will, are good at the fighting and the world-saving and the
other stuff but our finances are a mess."
"That's odd." said Stacy's mother. "I heard your ice-man was an accountant
of some sort."
"That is true, but he's hardly experienced enough to handle a multi-
million dollar rescue operation such as ours. Especially when he goes into
battle most of the time."
Stacy waves her arms. "Stop talking finance! Who wants to kill us and
why?"
Scott straights up and says...
-
"Your grandfather was ultimately responsible for all the mutations. A crazed millita from Utah has been formenting a plan of revenge for years."
-
"Gambling debts from your father and, pardon my words, your basic female attractiveness, Stacy. Several Mafia men think they can sell you for a profit to recover your dad's losses."
-
"We have no clue but we can offer protection."
-
"Stacy is one of the few morphs with a blood type compatible with humans and morphs. Some crazed millitary scientists think they can use her biology to make morphed-soldiers."
-
"Stacy has a secondary mutant power of eliminating memories. Temporary for her, permanent for others. We think several technology firms want her for industrial sabotage."
-
"Sadly, it's just plain unrelated to your family's past troubles. We have reason to believe a powerful Air Force Colonel is just simply, for high values of simply, stalking Stacy because she is attractive."
-
"Mrs. Jones...maybe you should take it from here."
