Panel one
Straight on--On a hotel worker in the obligatory over sized butt ugly solid colored blazer. It's a black guy, 20's, average looking. He has a confused look on his face, one eyebrow raised. He holds up six fingers, one whole hand and a single digit from his other hand. He's asking " Six?"
Panel two
Again, straight on--We're on Morph, but it ain't Morph. He's got himself morphed up as a beautiful girl. Put her in clothes that would be distracting. She's leaning across the counter towards the hotel guy. She's extending a credit card. It's one of the credit cards from issue one--" NISA" in the style of a VISA card.
She is grinning broadly. Flirting.
Panel three

Mike, what I'm looking for is that T-bird is like a machine that's been shut off. He lays down and pop, he's asleep. No fetal position no getting comfortable.

Sunfire is twelve, on stage and playing piano in a recital. Her parents stand behind her.
Mike, I don't know if you can get all the info in one panel maybe split it in two. First show her playing the piano and we look at her and out on the audience--then reverse the angle in the next panel so we are looking at her playing on stage with her parents looking over her.

Interior of a suburban house. Mimic is in a business suit. He's hanging up his trench coat and hat on a hat rack that is just inside the door of the foyer . The front door is still open to imply that he just"got home". A brief case sits next to his leg. Mimic still has his Goatee but his hairstyle is more conservative.
Panel three
Two kids come running at him, they are five years old, one boy, one girl. We see their backs, one of the kids has wings. Mimic is crouched to hug them/ greet them , his arms thrown open wide!! He's got a screaming grin on his face! Everybody is over the top happy, happy, happy!

" what the hell was that?!" expression on his face.
Panel three
On Morph sleeping. He's under the covers and has not visibly "turned" into anything
Whatever skin is showing is white and nude. My thought is when Morph is in deep sleep, he loses form and is just a blank slate.

Panel five
The audience in on it's feet--applauding like crazy.

Panel five

Panel six.
Pull back and Morph screams some more.

Panel one
On Nocturne sleeping
Panel two
Nocturne's face and her shoulders. James Proudstar's hand is on her shoulder.
Panel three
Nocturne, in her Mystique like costume from the first issue, has turned and we are facing Warpath. (Mike, it may be impossible without dialogue to make the folks understand that this is T-bird's younger brother, but we'll give it a shot. Make him smaller, younger, happier...different.)
He should be in a Warpath type costume, maybe the most recent costume (Mike: the X-Force costume from Whilce Portacio's recent Counter-X run) to avoid the confusion to T-bird. He should be wearing the LEAST T-bird looking costume, I guess.
Panel four
They kiss passionately
Panel five
Warpath is pulling Nocturne's shirt off over her head—keep it PG!
Page fifteen
Panel one
They kiss some more and Warpath shucks off his shirt.
Panel two
A path of clothing lines the way to the bed where the pair of them are intertwined. The room should look DRASTICALLY different from the hotel room she sleeps are in. I'd say make it a FANCY hotel room. Four post bed, long curtains, etc...We don't want people to think this is really happening.
