    Summary

    As the car drove along, John stared out the window. Memories were hitting him in quick succession, recognizing places he hadn’t seen in years. For some reason, his mind got stuck on what it was like to arrive there for the first time, the air crisp on an early fall morning. He remembered the coolness of the light breeze, how it was comforting against his too hot skin. He’d always felt so hot back then even though his body temperature was probably the same, or even lower, than it currently was. But he hadn’t grown into his mutation then, hadn’t had any control over it either, and the fact that he’d never burned the whole place down still surprised him.

    or: John was arrested at Alcatraz, but the X-Men stepped in and convinced a judge to let him serve out his sentence under house arrest at the mansion. But as John starts to talk to everyone at the mansion, it becomes clear that something bigger is at work.
