Synopsis for "Future Memories"
While Mystique recovers from her wounds, Forge and Val lead the rest of X-Factor in a virtual reality training program to see if Sabretooth can work with the team. Over Forge’s instructions, the program simulates a post-apocalyptic New York City. Beneath Manhattan, Random finds Havok comatose in a stasis tube and promises to look after Polaris. Fatale catches Random, mocks his guilt, and orders him back to Virginia to spy on X-Factor. Back at Fall’s Edge, X-Factor find themselves facing off against holograms of other mutants, including the X-Men, and then Shard suddenly appears. Outside, Fatale teleports in with Random and orders him to resume his bounty hunter persona. Forge tries to end the simulation as Wild Child elatedly hugs Shard, and Val restrains Sabretooth to take him back to his cell. Polaris wants to talk with Forge about what X-Factor is becoming, but he rebuffs her, and she flies away. Later in Forge’s lab, Shard recalls vanishing during the battle with the Adversary then reappearing when agents broke in to steal Forge’s files. Outside, Polaris encounters Random and shares her feelings about Havok’s disappearance and how X-Factor has changed. Forge goes to Val’s office and tells her about the break-in, suggesting the intruders were government agents. He asks her to keep Shard’s existence a secret from her superiors, but she refuses. After Forge leaves, however, Val’s shadowy boss calls, and she tells him about the break-in, claiming Shard was just Mystique in disguise. That night, Sabretooth sits in his cell delighted at having disturbed his teammates.
