Watching It All Play Out (Open to X-Factor)
Julian was still counting the money and good press from the Battle of the Bands a few days later, when the Battle of New York began. People were calling the club at all hours, wanting to know when N.I.C.H Machinegun was performing again, and that put Julian in a good mood.
That all ended the moment Paulo came in and turned on the television.
"Sir, there is...something you must see." Paulo says, rewinding the newscast. TiVo was a wonderful invention.
Julian, for a moment, did not understand what--or who-- he was looking at. Over the space of a few more seconds, his recognition of the young man became clear.
"Andrew...?" Julian said, his eyes widening. "Paulo, bring the car around. I need to get to Ellis Island."
"Sir, may I suggest that you call in aid? The...terrorists have hostages, and you don't know their numbers. It would be unwise to walk into a situation like this without a plan and back up." Paulo said.
Julian considered it for a moment. "Very well. The X-Men can handle themselves. Call Lisa and the others and ask them to come here. If they aren't interested, fine, but anyone I want to talk to anyone who is. We need a plan and someone needs to get to those children." he says, keeping his eyes on the television.
Andrew, it would be unwise for you die right now. It might get us all killed. Julian thought to himself.
