A case that X-Factor investigations is looking into has just gone belly-up and the signs point to interference from another PI agency called 'Singularity'.

Rictor, who was pushed off a ledge he was planning to jump from by one of Jamie's duplicates, is rescued mid-fall by M. Dispite her invitation, he's still determined to have nothing to do with X-Factor... until he also listens to Layla Miller.
