   Summary

   Two mutants and a Mutate are fighting for three different things.
   Success: Lavinia Haven fights for success. She chases an unachievable goal, racing to a finish line that only exists in her mind.
   Freedom: Kasha Lee fights for freedom. She has only ever lived as a caged animal, clawing her way out of the bars that hold her. But was there a reason for her cage?
   Death: Natalie Volkov fights for death. Her mutation teases her with the idea, dangling it in front of her like a prize she will never obtain. No matter how many times she jumps for it, it is lifted higher and higher out of her reach every time.

   Xaviers School's doors are open for everyone. But what happens when even those doors close on these three mutants?
