X-Factor #1: A New New York

 

Born on the island nation of Krakoa, Kirby Summers watched the annihilation of his people only to immediately be displaced to an alternate reality set in a different time.  Now, the mutant called Nudge has one purpose: protect the heritage, legacy, and the lives of all of the Krakoan people.  And at some point, find a way home.

Entry ONE

ProfX.- I almost regret taking this job.  What am I doing working for SHIELD?  Super cops supreme.  If I've learned one thing growing up on Krakoa, it's that badges and titles like Colonel, General, Officer, or even Mr. can't be trusted.  These are people of power, and people of power will step on you to get more.  Now, not only am I working with SHIELD, there's a duffing cop on the team.

ProfX.- That SHIELD guy has his little team.  We're now heading to a neighborhood in New York where a guy has been getting muscled by the mob.  Sounds like they burned his restaurant down.  I know I'm still learning about my mutant gifts, but the three of us are being sent to talk to a guy who refused to pay protection money.  Doesn't this Earth have a Daredevil or a Luke Cage?  Anyway, speaking of my powers, I feel like there's so much more I can do.  I kind of feel like I have to do more, like there's a raging lion inside me wanting to charge into the fray.  Some of my powers like my Telekinesis and my telepathy are inherited.  Mom thinks I might end up an even stronger telepath than her.  Other powers, like my uncanny accuracy and marksmanship will likely work themselves into my daily practice, whereas my healing factor is just what it is.  Well, we're here.  I'll report back soon.

ProfX.- I'm certainly not asking for help.  Any trouble I get myself into, I can get out of, but I wanted to share what's been going on.  We talked to the guy who owned the restaurant.  His name is Nanni something.  It's as simple as that:  they goons told him to sell and he wouldn't sell, so they burned it.  While we were talking to Nanni, more Maggia showed up.  We were able to fight them off, but one guy in our little trio, got a little zealous and punched one of these enforcers so hard it snapped his neck and killed him.  We took off and left the cop in our group to try and clear things up for us.  Unfortunately, the news crews saw it and now we're wanted by the law.  What I wouldn't give for some good old fashioned mind wiping powers.  I know that's not the way we do things.  Nanni was grateful.  He gave me this pendant that when I say a few magic words, a sort of genie comes out.  I'm nervous to use this thing but apparently it kicks butt.  Well, I'll report back within the hour.  Talk to you soon.
