X.S.E. #2 continues the story of time-traveling mutant soldiers Bishop and his sister Shard, chronicling their past as officers in the Xavier's Security Enforcers in a dystopian future. The issue is framed as a conversation between the present-day Bishop and the holographic version of his deceased sister.
Key plot points include:
A look into the past: The issue flashes back to Bishop and Shard's early days as X.S.E. officers. It shows Shard manifesting her mutant powers for the first time during an Emplate attack, and Bishop receiving an early promotion for his actions in the fight.
The origin of Bishop's squad: The story explores how Bishop selected two candidates, Malcolm and Randall, for his squad. Despite their initial useless-in-combat powers and clashing personalities, they eventually bonded after a tragic massacre at Harmony Base, where both lost family members.
The deaths of Malcolm and Randall: The memory of their deaths is a central source of Bishop's guilt, which is triggered by Shard during their conversation. Their deaths, and Shard's eventual fate, contribute to Bishop's feelings of responsibility and failure.
