Why This Must Be Read: This is an interesting X-Men fusion where they're super powered mutants in a typically dystopian world. John was captured and abused by humans, so he aligns with Michael(the Eric character) after being freed. Rodney's part of Elizabeth(the Charles character)'s group, so they're at odds. There's lots of action and drama, and John, despite the assassination mission Michael's given him, manages not to kill Rodney but to fall for him, and shifts allegiances. Or does he? The author keeps us guessing as they battle to stop Michael's plan to kill humans using a diabolical machine powered by a ZPM Rodney and Radek have invented. An excellent read!

John was pressed close to him, doing wonderful, interesting things with his tongue, when he suddenly pulled back. "Hey," he said, looking at Rodney, and all of a sudden something was different, only Rodney didn't know what.

"What?" Rodney said, trying to focus on what was different about John.

John's mouth twisted down a bit. "This is nothing personal, okay?"

Rodney was going to ask him what wasn't personal when John pressed a gun to his chest and Rodney had just enough time to see John's face change, eyes turning yellow and skin turning blue, before he scrabbled backward through the wall, stumbling as he reentered the building (the kitchen, as it happened), staring in shock as the plaster on the wall burst outward from the impact of the bullets. He stayed lighter instead of solidifying, and the bullets passed through him with just a tickle. Moving aside, he looked around, seeing the shocked faces of the chef and one of the waitresses. He had a brief thought of regret that he wouldn't be able to eat here again. Then he ran through the wall, into the dining room, and out to the street.
