Synopsis for ""Gifted" (Part 4)"
While the X-Men infiltrate BeneTech Laboratories and explore the basement, Kitty tries searching for the sub-basement, but discovers it is all solid metal. She decides to investigate.
Ord shows up at the Xavier Institute and questions the mutants Wing and Hisako on the X-Men's whereabouts. However, when he learns that they are mutants, he prepares to inject them with the Hope Serum and Hisako fights back with her mutant powers while Wing flies into the air. Ord fights back against Hisako and Ord catches up to Wing and injects him with the serum, sending him plummeting back to Earth.
At the BeneTech Laboratories basement, the X-Men find the corpse of a mutant woman presumably experimented on to make the "cure". Emma Frost tells the team they need to get back just as men wearing armored machine guns arrive. Kitty finally hits the sub-basement after traveling through solid steel. She finds the guards are protecting a certain subject, who she sets loose. Kitty is stunned to see that the subject is Colossus, who she previously thought dead. Colossus starts beating up the guards until Kitty urges him to stop. Upon seeing her, Colossus breaks down and embraces Kitty.
