[techno music playing]
[people cheering]
[whistle blows]
-Yeah! -Go, go, go!
All right, that's it. I said keep 'em away from you.
Keep 'em away from you.
[player] Daniels, over here.
[groaning]
[crowd] Aw!
[woman] Get 'em! Steal the ball!
Set up your zone. Don't let him shoot!
Is it always this exciting?
No, this one's a real nail-biter.
[coach] Come on. Ten seconds. Go.
Get through it. Daniels is open. Now!
You can do it, Evan! Shoot! Shoot!
[groaning]
[buzzer]
[cheering]
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
Yes!
[theme music playing]
Good game, man.
Yeah, Daniels. You rule, man.
Thanks, guys. Good game.
I should have known you'd hog all the glory.
What are you talking, man? Everyone knows that you--
Everyone knows if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had that last shot.
I knew I should have just taken it myself.
Hey, that was a great pass, man.
But there's no way you could have made it
down the court in time for a shot.
Hey, dude, I got moves you can't even imagine.
And I'm through holding back just to make guys like you look good.
Seems like that boy has been competing with you
ever since you were babies.
Hey, auntie O, what's up?
-Where's Dad and Mom? -Waiting outside.
I think the boys' locker room makes your mother nervous.
Right. Some game, huh?
It's tight that you showed.
And miss my favorite nephew's big game?
[Ororo laughing] Not a chance.
Thanks again for coming, auntie.
Evan, are you all right?
I've been concerned about you lately.
You know, about the things we've discussed before?
Yeah, yeah. No problem, auntie O. Everything's cool.
Evan, I saw what happened to you out there tonight,
-when you fell. -Hey, it's no big deal.
I got it under control.
-Ah--achoo! -[swishing]
-Bless you. -[sniffs]
-Busted, huh? -Big time.
[David] Still can't get over that last shot, son.
What a beauty!
You're gonna remember this game for a long time.
Yes! Wasn't it exciting?
What amazes me is that you've kept it concealed this long.
I'm telling you, I've got it covered.
A few points, a few spikes, I mean, so what?
-This is New York. -Evan,
you need to take this seriously.
The Xavier Institute can offer you training.
I don't need training, man.
I can take care of myself.
Anyone messes with me, bam!
No, Evan.
You mustn't use your powers like that. You have to learn control.
Hey, I've got control, see?
-Everything's cool. -Like in the locker room?
All right. So it's not perfected yet.
I think we'd better continue this conversation with your parents.
Like I didn't know that was coming.
Look, can't this wait till after school tomorrow?
-I mean, this is a big night for them. -Get 'em while they're hot!
All right.
[smooch]
[Xavier] Ororo, how's it going with your nephew?
[Ororo] Just as I feared, Professor.
He's being stubborn.
[Xavier] All right. We'll go to plan "B".
Scott and Jean will arrive in the morning.
Uh, by the way, Cerebro detected
another mutant's signature at the game tonight,
but couldn't get a clear reading on it for some reason.
Did you notice anyone else there unusual?
[Ororo] Maybe, but I'm not certain yet.
[Xavier] Very well. Keep me informed.
[city hustle]
[students chattering]
-[student] See you later, man. -[boy] All right, take it easy.
[clicking]
Aw, man! Not again!
-Something wrong? -[gasps]
[Evan] Where did you come from?
That's a question you should be asking on the basketball court.
Hey, look. I know you're fast, man.
[Evan] You were really busting some great moves last night.
Ah-ha! You finally admit that I'm better than you.
I said you were faster, not better.
I still got a few tricks of my own, you know.
Sure you do. Like getting ripped off for the second time this month.
-What's up with that? -[Evan] Yeah,
and I even changed the combination.
Hmm. Sounds like a bonafide mystery, dude.
Yeah, but I'm gonna trap this sleezeball.
Sure, Daniels. But you're gonna need some bait.
Hey! Thanks, man.
I'll get it back to you on allowance day.
Catch you later.
Not even on your best day, Daniels. You will never catch me.
[Evan] Man, you don't give up, do you, auntie O?
That's because she loves you. She's concerned.
-We all are. -This certainly explains
why you're always coming home with holes in your clothes.
[Ororo] We always knew this was a possibility, Vi.
While you did not receive the mutant gene as I did,
we knew it could show up in future generations.
It's really not so bad, Mrs. Daniels.
Having special powers can be pretty cool sometimes.
[Evan] Oh, yeah? I'll tell you what, Shades.
Let me see what you've got that's so cool.
Evan!
-Sorry, Mom. -No, really. It's OK.
It's just...
Scott's powers aren't really what you'd call indoor-friendly.
[Evan] OK, whatever.
Look, man, I like it right here,
and I'm not going to some home for freaks.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I got school stuff to take care of.
Evan.
[door slam]
Well, that went well.
Yeah, and I thought we were really making a connection there.
I apologize for my son, Mr. Summers.
He's obviously dealing with a lot right now.
I'll talk with him.
[gasps] Hey. He's going out the window.
-[grunting] -[rock music playing]
We really need to work on our sales pitch.
OK, sneak thief.
You wanna play tonight? The spike man is ready.
-[wind blowing] -Huh?
[cracking]
What the heck?
Ah! Freaky, man!
What's going on?
Whatever it is, it stops now!
[swishing]
-Pietro? -Call me Quicksilver.
Like the outfit? Made it myself. Took about a quarter second.
Well, would you look at this.
Seems my old pal has a few tricks of his own.
-But as usual... -[swishing]
-...not as good as mine. -You?
You've got powers, too?
Duh! Finally.
Remember, Daniels, anything you can do, I can do better.
[Quicksilver] Mind if I take that back?
But why would you want to rip me off?
Kicks, man. For the challenge.
Look, when you live as fast as I do,
there ain't enough things to occupy my time.
I gotta entertain myself.
Ha! And you thought you could stop me.
Well, wrong again.
Don't bet on it.
-Ah! -Too slow. What a surprise.
-[yawning] -[police siren]
You know, I think you're gonna need some more time
to work on those powers of yours.
-Maybe I can arrange it. -What do you mean?
Can you say "scapegoat"?
-[swishing] -[groaning]
Huh?
[gulps]
-[cell door opens] -[footsteps]
Evan, what happened?
Welcome to the downside, pal.
Misuse your powers, go to jail.
It wasn't me, man.
Hey, I believe you, Evan.
In fact, I know you didn't do it.
Evan, please listen to me. Let us help you.
So we'll make you a deal.
The Professor will use his influence to get you out of here,
and you give the Institute a shot.
What do you say?
Like I've got a choice?
Hey, hey. You've always got a choice.
We just want to help you make it the right one.
[sighs] OK.
[Evan] Deal.
[birds chirping]
[Kitty] So, like, where's this new guy?
[Xavier] Still sleeping.
He had a rather difficult evening.
[inhales] Ah!
I love the smell of bacon in the morning.
I think he knows who really trashed those lockers.
-Did he tell you? -No.
And I'm not going to pry. He'll tell us when he's ready.
Hmm. You ask me,
he's looking to settle that score, personally.
Pass the sausages, Red.
Eww. That stuff, like, totally plugs your arteries, you know.
I appreciate your concern.
I suspect you may be right about Evan's intentions, Logan.
Yeah, trust me, chuck.
I may not be able to read minds, but I know what a boy's thinking about
when he's been wronged. Ah!
[sighs] How many times I gotta tell ya,
ask and it'll get passed to ya?
Sorry. I didn't want to interrupt you.
That's better. Now, mind your manners.
[Xavier] In any case,
it might be best if Evan had other things to distract his mind.
I've already enrolled him at Bayville.
Now, Scott, could you introduce him to the basketball coach?
Sure. After that last game he played in New York,
-coach will jump at him. -Good.
And let's hope that Evan's desire for vengeance is short-lived.
[cracking]
[people chattering]
[fly buzzing]
[Mystique] I'm honored that you've come.
[Magneto] I'm not here
for your little student body meeting, Mystique.
Behold .
Ah! So, this is the speed demon I've been hearing about.
[Magneto] Pietro Maximoff.
He is of particular interest to me.
[Magneto| I have waited for just the right moment
to approach this young man.
And now is the time.
Then we shall extend the hand of friendship to the boy.
[Magneto] It will not be that easy.
He believes he needs no one. However, there may be a way.
Yes?
[Magneto] Young Pietro has long had a grudge rivalry
against Evan Daniels.
The new student Xavier enrolled here last week.
[Magneto] Yes.
Pietro has recently taken the advantage in that competition,
and I believe Mr. Daniels would like to... settle the score.
Well, then. I know just how to bring them together.
[Magneto] Excellent. Then I will take it from there.
This is your fifth run, Spyke. You wanna take a break?
No time for breaks, man.
You got me here to train, so let's train.
Heh. You heard the man. Let's roll.
[groaning]
[growls]
[smashing]
[beaming]
Ah! [grunting]
[Wolverine] Not too shabby, porcupine.
[Kitty] Spyke, the coach just called.
Says you gotta come to the gym. You've got a game tonight.
There wasn't one on the schedule.
[Kitty] Well, there is now.
Coach says principal Darkholme, like, put it together last minute.
[Kitty] Says he wants you suited up in, like, one hour
'cause you're starting against P.S. 104.
Dude! All right!
You get to play against your alma mater !
Yeah...
[engine rumble]
[Evan] Hey, Maximoff.
Well, well. Out of jail already?
Or is this miserable dump part of your punishment?
We've got a score to settle, Pietro.
-As usual, too slow. -Whoa!
Props for the attitude.
Might be hope for you after all, Daniels.
What's going on here?
Nothing I can't handle.
Is this the guy who was stealing from the lockers?
-Stay out of this. -That true?
-Actually, yeah. -[grunt]
I trashed those lockers. Why? You gonna do something about it?
-Look, I think you better come with us. -I don't think so.
That's it, Pietro! You're going down this time!
Oh. Sounds like a challenge.
Come on, Daniels. Let's see what you got.
-[grunts] -[swishing]
Trust me, man, you're gonna find out.
Man, that guy's fast.
We can't let Evan do this alone.
When you're with the X-Men, you're never alone. Let's go.
[laughing] Give it up, Daniels.
You're out of your league.
Not this time, Pietro. It's time I win one.
Ah! [grunting]
You call this a challenge?
You can't even touch me, no matter what I do.
Check it out, spike boy. Say bye-bye to Bayville.
[swishing]
[crashing]
We have to stop him!
I've tried. He's just too fast!
I thought you said all that training stuff would help.
Training's just one part of it, Spyke. Teamwork's another.
[Quicksilver] Yahoo!
-[swishing] -[crashing]
See ya!
Jean, he can't run if his feet are off the ground.
On it.
[laughing] Huh?
Hey, what's going on?
[screaming]
I can't hold him.
[laughing] [Quicksilver] Hold on to this, baby.
It's twister time!
-[groaning] -[screaming]
-Look out! -[crashing]
Spyke! Lock and load.
-[grunting] -[beaming]
Ah!
[groaning]
-[swishing] -[thud]
[groaning] Ah!
I can't get loose! I can't get loose!
Not so fast now, are you, Quicksilver?
Yeah? What good is it to you, Daniels?
You still can't prove I had anything to do with getting you in trouble. Can you?
Oh, sounds like a challenge.
I got it all right here. Check this out.
[Pietro] Actually, yeah. Yeah, I trashed those lockers.
Why? You gonna do something about it?
Good shot, dude.
Looks like some of that training did pay off.
[sirens]
Hey. Hey! Hey, let me go.
Hey! Hey!
You gotta let me out of here.
I want out of here!
[grunting] Huh?
Huh? You?
[Magneto] It is good to see you again, Pietro.
Even under such distressing circumstances.
Yeah, well, you can make them a lot less distressing, you know.
-Come on. Hustle it up. Move it! -[Magneto] Still impatient.
But you have grown much, Pietro,
And I have need of your services,
if you think you can handle the job.
Oh. Sounds like a challenge.
OK, whatever you want. Just, let's bail this jail.
[Magneto] Very well.
-[metallic creaking] -[Magneto] Come with me.
[guitar music playing]
Look out! Cannonball!
-[splashing] -Ah!
-Hey. -[laughing]
[coughing]
-Kurt, knock it off! -[Xavier] Congratulations, Evan.
I understand you've been cleared of all charges.
Yeah, it feels good to have that off my record.
Hey, thanks for your help, Professor.
[Kitty] Eww! Professor!
Kurt's, like, totally getting fur in the pool!
-[Kurt] I am not! -Hmm.
We're just glad to have you with us.
Thanks. Hey, check this out.
[Evan] Whoo-hoo!
Oh-oh!
-Ah! -[splashing]
-[laughing] -[coughing]
Sorry.
[chuckling]
It would appear your nephew's going to fit in just fine, Ororo.
Yes, but one must wonder, is that a good thing?
-[nervous laugh] -Hmph!
