No one ever said the revolution would be bloodless.
In the present day, Reeva has an orderly plan for the long-awaited bank heist on Creed Financial.
Rebecca will then fire up the vault, with Andy alongside her for protection.

So Quinn follows along.
He walks into Creed just like any other day but then inserts the drive into the computer system.
They look so cool standing there in their black jackets that its hard not to root for them.
When security guards try firing on the intruders, Polaris stops all their bullets mid-air,Matrixstyle.
Then Reeva unleashes her scream, making everyone extra pliable to the Cuckoos manipulation.
The Mutant Underground, by contrast, is a total mess.
Meanwhile, Jaces leadership oflast weeks successful Purifier raidhas earned him a lot of prestige in the mutant-hating ranks.
In fact, he gets invited to meet with one of the organizations biggest supporters.
This turns out to be TV news host Benedict Ryan, played by Peter Gallagher.
But I guess thats the whole point because so far he does give the character a sympathetic charisma.
Its not enough to sway Jace, though.
Jace agrees to go along with Ryans plan, just in time for the Mutant Uprisings bloodiest attack yet.
Made of adamantium, the vault at first proves impervious to even Rebeccas powers.
Once there, Quinn helps them hack the accounts, which get immediately uploaded to Sages computer.
Andy shouldve been more careful about giving Sith-style advice to Rebecca, though.
The kind of anger he brought out is hard to put back in the bottle.
The moment Reevas back is turned, she uses her powers on the people in the conference room.
Thats right, she turns their bodies inside out.
We dont see the final, horrifying result, albeit for blood smears on the walls.
Those bankers hurt a lot of mutants for their own profits, even if it was indirect.
When conflicting sides are so polarized like this, somethings gonna give.
But this is where steadfast refusal to make compromises or coalitions will get you!
People are going to side with the forces they see as actually helping them.
