Magic's a pain.
"Ouch!"

The latest figure to land on the Xavier Institute's front lawn is young...almost too young for the world-weary "oh, what the hell's gone wrong now?!" expression with which he surveys his surroundings.

"Figures. Teleport to Transia, Magneto tells me. That's where you'll find some clues.
