Misha's laptop calendar popped up to remind him that opening day for the Mets was in two weeks. He had season tickets and he hadn't missed an opening day since he was eight and Mom inadvertently put him on the road to Mets worship in an effort to find something for them both to do together one spring day. No matter what insanity was happening in his life, a good game could take him out of his head for a few hours. A bad game gave him a chance to let off steam by yelling at the players and the umpire.

He knew only a couple of other Mets fans that loved the team as much as he did, and while he thought Uncle Ben was great, he was thinking about another fan that might like to get out of her head as much as he needed to get out of his right now.

He called the Baxter Building's main reception line and asked to speak to Andrea Denker. When asked who was calling, he kept with the alias theme and said "Mikhail Romanov, Dork of Russia."

Sarah gets brought back to Xavier's after her fight with Holocaust, nowhere else has the facilities to deal with these kinds of injuries.. She never regains consciousness on the way home. Indeed, its most of another day before she does. Even by then, she still has broken ribs, a recovering dislocated shoulder, numerous radiation burns, and third degree burns up both arms, her hands are still black. Her sight will recover, but her charts say that she doesn't seem to have much of it currently in her right eye - the one on the side of her face that's mostly black and blue.

They've got her full of enough elephant tranquilizers to let her rest comfortably. Even so, eventually, she does regain consciousness, blinking her blurry eyes.

"Where?"
