Meanwhile in a coffee shop across the street from Alchem-X...

"So remind me why applying for a job at Alchem-X is a good idea?" Alyssa asks as she takes a sip of her espresso.

"Because..." Maksim replies from behind a newspaper. "We need to find out more about that mutant you tracked down in Russia and what his connection to the most wealthy man in the world is."

"I already told you.." She said in a slightly annoyed tone. "Goddard is a member of the Council and that masked mutant is one of his subordinates."

"You think." He replied, placing the newspaper flat on the table and locking eyes with her. "But what if you're wrong? After all, I didn't see the man's face very well in the warehouse or the photograph. It might not even be the same person."

"It IS." She said sharply. "I told you I was tracking his movements for months. That masked man was the same one meeting with Goddard. And even if Goddard isn't a member of the Council, he's still a member of the Inner Circle at the very least and an extremely powerful one at that." She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, effectively ending the conversation.

Maksim simply let out a tired sigh and went back to reading his newspaper.

They would find out soon enough.
