Storyline

After a near-death experience during a strange tornado, Danielle Moonstar awakens in an abandoned research facility run by the mysterious Dr Cecilia Reyes. There, Dr Reyes introduces Dani to four other equally uncommon teenagers: Illyana Rasputin, Rahne Sinclair, Sam Guthrie, and Roberto da Costa, who wants to keep them safe and sound until they learn how to be in full control of their extraordinary abilities. However, even though the exceptional team of traumatised inmates believes that they're being treated and cared for, before long, they all start to experience horrifying hallucinations. But, this institution was supposed to be a safe place. Are they patients or prisoners?

Goofs

Characters are kept at the facility behind a force field so they cannot escape. Illyana's mutant power is teleportation. She has to go to Limbo first, then she can teleport anywhere/when she wants. She is shown teleporting during the battle. So her powers aren't blocked. She could leave the facility at any time, and she would be able to teleport others with her.

Quotes

[first lines]
Danielle Moonstar: There's a Native American proverb that says: Inside every person there are two bears, forever locked in combat for your soul. One bear is all things good: compassion, love, trust. The other is all things evil: fear, shame and self-destruction.
