King Hyperion - part 2
Washington, D.C.
As Sentinels fly overhead, Gyrich informs President Kelly that the mutant threat has been successfully taken care of. The president is pleased and calls the Avengers ‘race traitors’ and is happy with the Sentinels ‘protecting’ humans. President Kelly and Gyrich are then interrupted by an agent that Magneto has launched an asteroid at the Earth that is big enough to destroy the Earth and they have less than twenty-four hours.
The Pentagon: Core Mind For The Sentinels.
A man tells General Ross that with the destruction of Xavier’s home base, there are only a few mutants left which makes them easy prey for the Sentinels. Ross tells him that aside from the mutants on Magneto’s asteroid M, which will be taken care of as soon as the space borne prototype Sentinels are taken completed; the mutant threat is over. The screen buzzes and Ross and the man are puzzled as errors in mutant deaths show up, Colossus and Gambit are reported as errors and alive. Hyperion, Ms. Marvel are reported as unknown super powered entities with their location being tracked. Spider shows up as another super powered entity in Colorado along with Shadowcat. Storm and Vanisher are also on screen listed as being inside an impenetrable Storm field. As they wonder why Hyperion and Ms. Marvel are listed as location tracking a Sentinel is blasted outside of the building. Soon Hyperion stands in front of the two blowing up some more Sentinels.
Ross ask Hyperion who he is as Ms. Marvel comes flying in telling Hyperion to save some for her, she blast a Sentinel standing behind Hyperion and tells him that backup is useless if he leaves it halfway behind the continent. Hyperion ignores Carol and continues at his task. Carol mocks him and thanks herself for him. A Sentinel comes up behind her and fires at her, she falls on the ground complaining about the burn; Carol asks Hyperion for help since her blast needs time to recharge, he tells her that he’s busy and he holds Ross by the throat. Carol gets pissed and is blasted by the Sentinels again. The computer warns that the core temperature is reaching critical as Hyperion continues to heat it up and Carol yells for assistance. Her visor shatters and Carol complains about after what they shared at the mansion, Hyperion could at least pop a few heads for her, then blow up the computer. The computer blows and Hyperion tells her that the computer takes out all the Sentinels, including the ones attacking her; he pushes aside a Sentinel head and asks if she is happy.
 A Sentinel flying overhead crashes into the yard before the White house, President Kelly is jolted and interrupts Gyrich who was explaining his plan for the Space Sentinels with nuclear warheads and having to hide out in the Idaho bunker during the initial impacts. Gyrich tells Kelly to stop being paranoid and that his country needs him, a Sentinel suddenly falls into the side of the building.
Boulder, Colorado
A Sentinel falls to the ground before Remy and the group and they wonder what happened while Spider gives hype to Hyperion and tells them that they are pals. They head towards Storm’s City and Kitty tells them that Storm will probably send out her teleporter to get them; Spider complains about nausea. As they pass a hill part, they see a big city in front of them with Sentinels all shattered on the ground. As they gaze at Storms lightning encircled city Gambit commends Storms on a nice job. Kitty tells them that Storm and Vanisher are the only mutants left on Earth, the rest of the mutants either joined up with Xavier and died or went off into space with Magneto. She continues saying that she doubts Storm will be willing to join up with Hyperion and that she doesn’t care about anyone except herself. Gambits smirks to question Kitty’s logic.
Asteroid M.
Quicksilver runs in to tell Magneto that the Sentinels are offline, and that they can go back. Magneto tells him to slow down as Mystique dresses him. Quicksilver continues saying that the sentinel base has been shut down and it looks like some sort of super human destroyed it. Magneto questions who did it since there are no more super humans left on Earth. Quicksilver tells him that it’s a new guy and now they can go back and claim what is rightfully theirs. Magneto tells him that he has no desire to stop the destruction of the human race and that the asteroid will hit Earth in fifteen hours, “There’s no turning back.” Magneto then decides that they shouldn’t leave behind their genetic brethren since they need servants up at Asteroid M.
Washington.
Hyperion holds up a dead President Kelly and proclaims “Long live the King.” As Ms. Marvel holds a defeated Gyrich at bay with her blast, she questions who they need to defeat next, England, France, Russia? A voice who reveals himself to be Magneto tells them that they need to defeat Genosha next. Rogue accompanying Magneto tells them she loves what they’ve done with the place. Ms. Marvel, tells Hyperion that Magneto and the Brotherhood are their prime targets if they’re supposed to make sure the last ten mutants are dead. Hyperion tells Magneto that it is his world now and he will protect it from whatever threat he thinks he might pose. Magneto, pissed, informs Hyperion that an asteroid is heading toward the Earth as they speak and that he merely came to offer their genetic equals a chance at salvation with them in space or they can remain and rule over the ashes of a dead world. Magneto tells them to reconsider or die.
 Hyperion smirks, then offers Magneto a choice: stop the asteroid and save his planet and remain with him or die. Magneto tells Hyperion that he is beneath no one and declines. Hyperion tells Magneto that he has no choice, he only needs a few of them to remain alive to stay in this reality, “Your death will be meaningless.” Magneto finally gets annoyed enough and orders the Brotherhood to kill Hyperion and Ms. Marvel. Wolverine and Mystique grin in delight and Ice Man and Rogue look worried.
The Storm Field.
A sweaty Spider gets annoyed at the hour long wait and complains to Gambit, but gets told to enjoy the scenery since Kitty said that Storm would send the teleporter out and she’s been right about everything so far.
Behind them, Kitty and Colossus talk about how long Kitty and this dimensions’ Colossus have been together, she tells him that he is just like him except for trying to kill her yesterday. He apologizes and tells her that he didn’t know her then and that he would never have done it, but she interrupts him and tells him that she understands with all the reality hopping they do and having to worry about home and normalcy, she tells him that she might even do whatever it took to get home too, probably. Colossus explains that he doesn’t even think that they will ever get to go home despite Angel being sent back a few months ago. He begins to say how he’s unsure if he can go on then he gives his condolences about this reality’s Peter, Kitty’s Peter. Kitty tells him not to talk about it and tells him again how he is so much like him, then they kiss. Spider is grossed out and calls it a unhealthy relationship since she is pretty much kissing her dead boyfriend.
Suddenly blooonk! Vanisher appears and tells them that they are all clean, being all mutants or super freaks, he asks for the person in charge and Gambit unsure, tells him that it’s him. Vanisher immediately perks up and tells him that he heard he was dead and that Storm will be so pleased to see him alive. Gambit begins to explain that he is not their Gambit, then tells him it’s a long story. Vanisher agrees to Gambit telling them the story after they arrive and tells them to all gather around the amazing teleporting Vanisher and his lady Storm awaits.
Washington
As Hyperion holds onto Wolverine by the neck he tells Magneto that he only wants to kill him and not his minions. Wolverine calls Hyperion meat and tells him that the road to Magneto leads through him. Hyperion says fine, then blasts Wolverine with his flash vision which burns off his flesh and leaves nothing behind but his adamantium skeleton. Mystique freaks out and says that Hyperion is indestructible. Magneto says that no one is indestructible and orders Ice Man and Rogue to take Hyperion down; they continue to stand there and Magneto asks if they heard him. Ice Man asks Magneto to reconsider and stop the asteroid since none of them really want to float around in space forever. Ice Man adds that it is their chance to make the world their own with no Sentinels around, who cares who runs it. Rogue adds that Hyperion will probably let him live if he helps stop the asteroid. Magneto is offended at the fact that someone has to let him live. Hyperion orders him to stop the asteroid or have his head imploded. Magneto threatens to boil Hyperion’s blood through his skin and tear his heart out. Mystique shoots at him and Hyperion tells them that he is not of this Earth or any Earth and there is no iron in his blood, he grabs Magneto by the helmet, then burns Mystique to death.
Rogue and Ice Man look on in horror as Hyperion then picks Magneto up and flies them toward the asteroid. Magneto tried to pull iron file cabinets at them but Hyperion blast them away. Hyperion tells Magneto to give up the garbage since he cannot defeat him. Magneto tells him that everyone has an Achilles heel, Hyperion tells Magneto that only Achilles has an Achilles heel. Magneto begins to feel the atmosphere burning him up and Hyperion orders him to stop the asteroid, then maybe he’ll care, Magneto says no a final time and Hyperion blasts into Magneto’s helmet and implodes his head. As Magneto floats nearby dead, the asteroid approaches and Hyperion is standing his ground in front of it.

King Hyperion - part 3
Storm City, Colorado
Storm greet Vanisher and the group, Vanisher reminds her that he told her that he had something that would interest her. She agrees and as Remy is trying to explain to her their role as Weapon X Storm surprises him and pulls him into a kiss. Remy begins to explain again telling her reminding her that he is not her Gambit. She smiles and tells him that she knows but she watched her Gambit die and he looks so much like him. She continues asking him to forgive her forward manner but explains that she wasn’t able to say goodbye to her beloved, her Gambit. A tear drop wells up and falls down her cheek, she gratefully tells him that kissing him helps a little.
Turning to Colossus she tells him that she heard that he along with the rest of the X-Men had all died, then adds that it’s a shame that  Professor X refused her offer to join her and her followers inside of the storm field. An enraged Kitty berates Storm, telling her that she could have helped them and that the X-Men were on their way. Peter holds her back and tries to calm her down. With teeth clenched together in anger, Storm tells Kitty to calm down and that she is not to blame and it was Xavier and his foolish and idealistic ways that led them to their deaths that would have happened regardless of whether or not Storm helped.
Storm then turns her attention to Spider telling him that she doesn’t know who or what he is, he flicks his tongue at her and tells her to kiss him and find out. Gambit shoots Spider an annoyed look and gets him to leave Storm alone. Storms tells Remy that despite how much seeing him has alleviated her pain, they don’t have much time to enjoy each other’s company since Magneto and his Brotherhood have launched an asteroid at the Earth to destroy it, an extinction level event in which the Earth will become a lifeless husk. “We mutants had the power to change the world, and instead, one of us- - as the humans always feared- -destroyed it.” Kitty begins to ask if Vanisher could teleport them up to the asteroid so that some may live, and he tells her that he doesn’t know if he can since it’s pretty far and if her misses they will just have a nice view from space of the destruction of Earth before their blood boils out of their eyeballs. At Vanisher’s prompt Storm tells him that she promised the people that followed her to Storm City that they would be safe from the mutant-human war and she can’t leave them now. Remy gets concerned and tells Storm that it looks like she has done everything that she can do and in all the realities of chaos he’s seen he has learned one thing, “- -if you have a chance to survive, you take it.”
Suddenly Hyperion shows up with Rogue and Ms. Marvel flies Iceman in from behind, he informs them that all of them will survive and he will stop the asteroid and then rule the planet. Spider gets excited and tells Hyperion that if he says he can stop the sun from rising, he would believe him. Hyperion informs Vanisher and the others that his plan is to have Rogue absorb some of his powers and they will stop the asteroid together. Iceman looks aside in uncertainty and sarcastically ask if he is supposed to grow wings and fly to Jupiter. Rogue tries to assure her man that everything is going to be fine and then they will rule the world. Iceman reminds her that Hyperion never said “we.” Remy consults with Hyperion asking him if the rest of them is supposed to sit there and pray, Hyperion tells him to take the teleporter and the others and go to Asteroid M until they have finished then they will gather and organize the individual governments under his rule.
Storm tells them that she is not leaving her people. Vanisher tries to persuade her to go but she insists that since they are supposed to save them anyway then why should she leave her home and her people. Hyperion grabs Storm by the shoulder and informs her that she must survive to which she inquires why he cares. He informs her that if all the mutants in this reality die, then the team will be sent to another reality with a new mission and he doesn’t plan for that to happen. Storms walks off and tells him to never touch her again. Gambit runs after her and tells her that he has seen what Hyperion can do and he can save them. Storms questions him about what will happen if Hyperion can’t, she tells him to imagine what would happen and lets him know that she does not intent to serve Hyperion for the rest of her life. Gambit begins to tell her that in his reality they were married and he loved her more than his own life but lost her and he can’t leave her behind to die all over again. He begs her not to make him go through it all again. With his head bent in concern and sorrow, Storm gazes at him, her sad expression softens and she agrees to go with him.
 The group teleports off to the asteroid, Gambit and Storm are holding each other’s arms, Rogue places a hand on Iceman. After they leave Hyperion asks Rogue if absorbing his powers will hurt him. She replies that it will hurt a little as she pulls off her inhibitor collar. Hyperion cringes a little as Rogue revels in his power, he pushes her hand away after a while telling her it’s enough; she continues reveling in the feeling of his power and asks him if her feels like that all the time, “I feel like I could crack the world!”
Asteroid M.
Forge tells Quicksilver that the asteroid will strike in less than five minutes just as Vanisher teleports the group in. Quicksilver runs over to them and Forge tells him that the teleportation signature tells him that it is Vanisher along with six other meta-humans. Quicksilver questions what is happening and asks where Magneto is. Iceman approaches him and tells him that Magneto is dead, Pietro’s jaw drops, he question how it happened. Iceman ignores the question and tells Pietro that his father was crazy and this time he got more than himself killed, he also got Wolverine and Mystique killed. Pietro threatens to kill whoever killed his father, Iceman tells him to chill and calls Magneto crazy, reminding him that he was going to destroy the planet regardless of whether they came with him or not. Iceman adds that Pietro once planned to stop Magneto and they all thought it but never said it, but killing Magneto was the only way. Pietro cringes in anger and grief, he consents that it was the only way and his father was crazy to destroy the Earth even with the Sentinels gone and them being able to go back. Forge tells them that it’s too late now since the asteroid is unstoppable, he then asks where Rogue is. Standing by the window watching the asteroid, Ms. Marvel tells him that she is with Hyperion and that it is not too late, she then tells them to shut up so she can watch the show.
Rogue and Hyperion continue blasting apart the bigger chunks of the asteroid before the hit the Earth to prevent too much damage. Suddenly, Rogue falters and reaches for Hyperion, she tells him that she need a quick recharge since his powers are wearing off her. She turns his back to her and tells her it’s pointless. As he flies away Rogue screams for him to come back because she can’t do it alone, she screams his name as she is burned alive.
FWOOOOOOOOOOM!  The Earth is engulfed in flame and debris as the mutants aboard Asteroid M watch on. Gambit holds Storm in sorrow. Iceman worries about Rogue. Kitty pulls Peter away and phases them to the lower deck. Colossus asks Kitty where she is taking him, she tells him that they have to leave before Hyperion gets back. He tells her that they don’t even know if he is still alive, she tells him that he is alive and plans to kill the ones the Timebroker told them to kill. Colossus tries to calm her down. Kitty continues to pull him away telling him that Hyperion won’t want to stay on a planet that is ruined, not if he can move on to another one; he will kill whoever is necessary to get a fresh new world to conquer. Peter agrees with her but assumes that there is nowhere to go. Kitty suggest that maybe the Savage Land or the Morlock Tunnels somehow survived and they have to go now.
Suddenly the door opens with a beep and a burned looking Hyperion comes stomping in, and asks Kitty whom she would rather take her chances down there against. Colossus holds Kitty and tries to remain calm, a false smile plastered on his face, he asks Hyperion what the plan is now. Grinning menacingly, Hyperion asks if Peter is really that naive. Colossus attempts to attack Hyperion and tells him to leave Kitty alone. Kitty tells him to stop since he will be killed. Hyperion falls to the ground, Peter takes Kitty’s arm and tells her that they will take their chances on Earth, and asks her to phase them to the escape pod, she freaks out as Hyperion gets up. Peter smiles assuringly at her at promises her that they will be alright.
An explosion rumbles through the ship, Forge tells them that they are losing pressure and he is sealing off all access ways. Gambit asks if something hit them then looks out the window and sees Peter and Kitty floating around in space dead with their hands still reaching for each other as the drift. Gambit realizes that Hyperion is on the ship and ready to finish the mission, he charges up a knife. Storm questions Remy on what they will do, Gambit looks down in failure and Spider eagerly approaches and asks if they get to kill the other mutants now. Suddenly another hole is ripped through the ship on the deck the group is on, Forge yells for Iceman to seal up the hole but Hyperion manages to pull Forge away from his console and fling him into space.
Hyperion, with his hair burned shorter and tears all over his costume proclaims to Weapon X that the world is a lost cause. Iceman prefers to differ and attempts to freeze Hyperion as Hyperion yells for the team to kill the others so that they can move on. Ms. Marvel calls the world lame and Spider begins to chant merrily about death and destruction. Quicksilver attempts to punch Hyperion out and yells for Iceman to ice Hyperion but he proves to slow for Hyperion who tells him that he annoys him then proceeds to snap his neck.
Vanisher tells Storm that they must go and Gambit agrees telling her that Hyperion plans to kill them all, Storm looks away hopelessly telling them that there is no place to go because the Earth is now a lifeless husk. Suddenly Vanisher feels a prick on his back and sees dark blood appear on his chest, Spider pops out from behind and apologizes for accidentally putting his blade through his heart. Gambit stabs Spider in the shoulder and tells him that they could have had a life here, he then asks what Spider has to go home to.
Remy then tries to help Storm and carry the dying Vanisher somewhere else, Vanisher tells that he can’t get them off the ship but he manages to teleport them out of the room just as Spider blast them. “Stupid teleporters!”
Iceman is running away from Hyperion as he insults him about running away while his girlfriend at least went out with courage. He then asks Spider and Ms. Marvel where Storm and Vanisher went, Carol tells him that she’s unsure but Gambit is gone too. Spider decided to show off and tells Hyperion that he stuck the bald guy good before they left and that they shouldn’t be able to get far since the trip to the ship had pretty much worn him out.
An all too familiar blinking sound rips through the air and two new members appear. A pony-tail sporting, purple Mr. T jumpsuit wearing, green Hulked-up intelligent Bruce Banner informs them that they have been sent to finish the mission. Firestar tells Hyperion that Timebroker is not pleased with his actions but he ignores her and is pleased that Vision finally died with the explosion of the Earth. Bruce tells Hyperion that his deviation from the mission is no joke, then crushes Iceman into a million pieces while Firestar burns him. Banner then tells Hyperion that he shouldn’t be smiling since Timebroker sent them to deal with him and Timebroker is extremely mad.
 Hyperion tells them that he doubts that they can deal with him and that there are only a few lose ends to tie up before that can get on their way, Firestar, arms still crossed, tells him that they will just discuss his disobedience there.
Storm and Gambit hold each other in a cold corridor as Vanisher’s body sits near them, Remy apologizes, she tells him that Vanisher was such a good man. Remy then tells her that they will be here soon and they will have nowhere left to run to. Storm tells him it’s alright though she rather be dying with her Earth and she feels disconnected outside of the atmosphere. Remy tries to tells her how they thought that they might have been able to find a way to be together and apologizes again. Storm kneels by Vanisher’s body and tells Remy that this is how it should end and tries to comfort him by telling him that he’ll find his way home someday and he should make sure to take care of his Storm once he gets there. She pulls out a knife then hands it to him and asks if he can do it for her since she doesn’t want Hyperion touching her, he cringes in shock and tries to say no, they begin to sob, she tells him to make it quick, then adds that it wasn’t meant to be. He honors her wishes, “It was meant to be.…”
As tears well up and fall from Remy’s eyes, the re-formed Weapon X team shows up and  Hyperion smugly tells Gambit that he knew he was too sensible and would come around eventually. Spider tells Hyperion that he has a pain that says otherwise, and calls Gambit a Back-stabber/ shoulder-stabber. Gambit does not look st his team, he hold Storm in his arms and tells them that the Tallus says that they can move on now. Hyperion begins to walk away, he tells then not to worry since this was only the first opportunity to rule and there will be other worlds, he ten adds that this world was after all rather amusing. The Earth is a lifeless ball of dust, Storm and Vanisher lie  dead on the ship as the corpses of Colossus, Kitty, and Forge float around lifeless in space.

A Nocturne’s Tale - part 1
Tuesday, Nocturne’s reality, sometime before she became an Exile.
Nocturne, Thunderbird, Shadowcat, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, and Armageddon are fighting with Apocalypse; a rather common event since Apocalypse seems to enjoy attacking the city every Tuesday, like clock work. Apocalypse had demolished a few buildings downtown and set up a big machine called the Chronal Disrupter. With it he wants to conquer the world and as always it was left to the X-Men to stop him. Luckily, Apocalypse’s son Armageddon had recently decided to change sides and help stop his father. During the fight, Phoenix was trapped in a power dampener and Armageddon’s power was much appreciated since Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Nocturne, and Thunderbird aren’t the most fearstriking names out there.
 As Armageddon fights Apocalypse, Nocturne jumps into the fight with Nightcrawler yelling after her to stop. Apocalypse comments to Armageddon how the telekinetics inherited from his mother are impressive, yet never enough then throws him to the ground. Just as Armageddon hits the ground Nocturne makes her presence known but letting a few hex bolts out at Apocalypse. She leaps around him making light of the situation. Apocalypse gets annoyed with her and slams her down, Nightcrawler bamfs to help her and Thunderbird hits Apocalypse with a beam from the debris, “Hey! That’s a teammate of mine!” As Thunderbird and Armageddon are fighting Apocalypse, Nightcrawler is tearing into Nocturne for rushing into the fight and risking her life. “Aunt” Kate Pryde comforts an annoyed Nocturne and compliments her on her “pretty somersaults.” She always knows the right thing to say.
Logan interrupts them telepathically from the mansion; he lets them know that they have a job to do: they have to distract Apocalypse while Kate takes out the machine. As they all jump onto Apocalypse and cling onto him, he calls them idiots. Shadowcat tells Logan that she is unsure if she can phase through the field around the machine, she struggles through as Logan instructs her to hurry. Apocalypse blast away all those surrounding him and informs Kate that he senses her within the machine. Phoenix, having burnt out Apocalypses dampener shows up next to him and lets him know that now that she’s free it really doesn’t matter what he feels. The Phoenix force had come back and set up house in the empty shell of Colossus who had sacrificed his life trying to save his sister when something happened to her realm Limbo. The rest of the X-Men have TK-chips in their heads to communicate with Logan back in the mansion but a TK-chip wouldn’t have made Phoenix listen or obey anyway.
As Kate Pryde struggles to take out the machine Phoenix lights up and blows Apocalypse and his machine up. A huge explosion follows and everyone is blown over, Thunderbird worries about T.J. and tries to help her up as she asks where Apocalypse is. Logan interrupts them again and informs them that Kate was with the machine when Apocalypse’s machine went up and he’s lost contact. Nightcrawler is distressed, everyone begins to throw aside debris from the explosion. As Armageddon lifts aside a giant piece of rock, he tells them that he is happy to help but he doesn’t know what they are looking for. They soon uncover Kate but she is not their Kate, she looks like she did when she was a child and just joined the X-Men. Logan instructs them that Apocalypse is gone and all his shields are down which means the cops will be showing up soon. He tells them to pick up Kate and get out of the location and they will figure everything out at home.
The mansion
Thunderbird watches a news report telling the viewers that the X-Men were involved in an incident that demolished half a city block. Nightcrawler tells Logan that Apocalypse is not showing up anywhere in a three-mile perimeter scan. He offers to expand the scan but Logan says no and that Apocalypse is gone and they don’t know where but their Kate is gone too. Logan assumes that it had something to do with the time machine, Nightcrawler interrupts with the actual name of the machine, Chronal Disrupter. Logan brushes him off and suggests that when the time machine went up, it sent their Kate back in time and somehow swapped her with her younger self. Nightcrawler adds that young Kitty says that she just arrived at the school maybe three weeks ago. Nightcrawler wonders if it is just a matter of time displacement then where did their Kate go, why she isn’t at the school right now older, why they have no memory of Kate appearing twenty-five years ago and Kitty disappearing. He suggests that Kate might have not just been sent back in time but to another reality. Logan informs Kurt that the scent is right and that it would be best to have Moira do a complete set of test on her to make sure if she is their Kate or not.
Another story is broadcast in the news, this one concerns a successful mission the Avengers had in South America, Nightcrawler smiles proudly when he hears that the Scarlet Witch was instrumental in repelling the alien invasion. Logan reminds Kurt to have T.J. put Kitty up in the student dorms for the night in hopes of maybe calming the poor kid down, since she has been through a lot.
 A news flash catches their attention: the former X-Man, Cyclops, is leading a band of unidentified mutants in a daring escape, possibly signaling the emergence of a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Kurt comments on how the media is not being kind to Scott, Logan tells Kurt that he doesn’t care about Scott’s PR but is concerned about his intentions. Thunderbird starts to leave for a shower, turning around, he tells them that it’s no news that he never liked Cyke much but they stayed and he left, so they should forget about him.
T.J. is giving Kitty the grand tour and some background information on the members of the X-Men. They discuss how Wolverine killed Professor Xavier but how it really wasn’t his fault since he was being mind controlled by the Shadow King at the time. Nocturne adds that the Shadow King is Egyptian, fat, wears a fez, and has a serious old-nemesis syndrome. She tells Kitty how Logan was almost paralyzed by the murder and how everyone forgave him except Cyclops who left after Jean Grey died. She adds that Logan now runs the school but she thinks it’s mostly out of guilt since “Uncle Logan” never really forgave himself and is really somber now. Kitty sarcastically compares somber Logan to the happy-go-lucky, laugh-a-minute, champion-of-optimism Wolverine she knows. T.J. tells her that he is different, he’s sadder now.
 A young boy in a radiation chamber calls out to T.J., they go over to Lucien and take a look at his new jet model he put together. He tells her it took him the whole day. Nocturne assures him that he did a beautiful job. Through the glass of the radiation chamber Lucien asks T.J. to help him with the decals but Moira MacTaggert tells him that T.J. needs to help her.
Moira is a brilliant scientist but, according to Nocturne, she can only concentrate on one thing at a time, with Kitty’s new problem, poor Lucien got forgotten. Kitty asks if Moira can send her home, Moira tells Kitty all the right things to keep her hopes up but they end up to be empty promises; as far as Nocturne knows  Kitty wasn’t ever able to go home and Aunt Kate was never seen again.
Armageddon stands in his room starring at his bed which is all too small for him, he is feeling out of place. Kurt walks in and finds him like that, he realizes that he should have put more thought into “Geddy’s” temporary quarters, he couldn’t even lie down in his tiny bed. Kurt ask Armageddon how he is doing. He asks Nightcrawler how is he supposed to feel since he betrayed his father to help his mortal enemies possibly kill him, which he doesn’t think can really happen. Kurt tells him that he did the right thing and Armageddon replies that he knows he did the right thing but it doesn’t change the fact that he feels like he is nowhere at the moment. Kurt tells him that he is somewhere, he is here which is a big step considering where he came from, he urges him to join them. He adds that no one that ever came to the mansion didn’t feel lost at some time but it is the Professor’s dream to give everyone a home and a family. He wishes him a goodnight and leaves.
Kitty tells T.J. that she never saw anyone like Lucien. T.J. replies that Lucien used to be a normal kid, kind of, he used to be able to take away people’s pain, injuries, diseases, defects and absorb them into himselfm then purge them out of his system. Because of his ability, Lucien, using a bunch of telepaths and Cerebro absorbed the Legacy Virus from the world.  The sad part is that he couldn’t get rid of it and now he looks like that (a skeleton glowing yellow-green with unstable glowing blue energy around it). T.J. adds that looking like that is driving Lucien crazy and his see-through room isn’t helping either.
Suddenly, James Proudstar walks out in front of them, he’s clinging a small towel wrapped around his waist and is wiping his wet hair with another towel. He greets them casually and apologizes for scaring them. He tells them that his shower is out and he decided to use the dorm locker room. He asks Kitty if she is adjusting. Kitty looks up at him in awe, and tells him that she is fine and T.J. is showing her around. As Nocturne avoids starring at him, he adds that she would be his choice for a guide too and tells them to have fun. As he is walking away, Kitty tells Nocturne that he’s cute and tells her to look at his butt, A suddenly serious-faced T.J. tries to pull her away and they get into a little debate over if T.J. had ever checked out James’ butt. At the time, T.J. and James weren’t dating yet but she had the biggest crust on him and acted like such a girl around him. Despite him getting scary sometimes, he used to get angry so quickly, lots of rage; T.J. was attracted to him because of the attraction of danger, not because of the deep brown eyes and the washboard abs.
As they enter the kids’ quarters, they hear a commotion and see Warlock looping around the room, Charlie erecting a force field to keep away Kiko’s blast and Iceman’s snowballs, a green dragon thing  making “gek!” noises, and boy trying to read and turn the pages telekinetically while his sister messes with his hair telekinetically. Warlock asks if Talia Josephine Wagner agrees that this is not productive. She agrees and asks if some of them aren’t supposed to be asleep. Kiko asks for ten more minutes. T.J. agrees but tells her not to singe the furniture. Trudy tells her that she is so not a part of this to which Nocturne tells her good, she begins to try and introduce Kitty but ends up yelling for all the kids to quit it. She tells Kitty that she will meet them all in the morning, Kitty tells her that she was the only kid when she joined the X-Men. Talia tells her that there have been kids here for as long as she can remember and a few of them are ready to join the field unit. She takes Kitty into a room which she calls homey yet ugly then adds that if she were an adult she would be telling her that she needs her rest. Nocturne begins to leave and tells Kitty that she will see her in the morning, Kitty makes her promise, then starts to cry and tells her she wants to go home. T.J. holds her and tries to comfort her.
Logan is having a nightmare, he is reliving Xavier’s murder. He wakes to see Phoenix in his room, he tells her to get out. She tells him that it’s odd that the dreams they have cause them such emotions and feelings that are sometimes stronger than the ones they have while they are awake. She tells him that she is drawn to the dreams since they are what she is missing as she does not share a conscious human host. Logan tells her to get out again. She tells him that he know that she can repair him and make him whole again yet he won’t ask; she asks when his penance will end. He repeats his demand for her to get out. She looks hurt and leaves, they didn’t see her for a while after that night but when they did see her again, it was a whole other story.
The next morning
Nocturne is running a Danger Room routine at the request of her father, she is having fun too, too much fun, Nightcrawler is annoyed. Kitty is watching from above. Nocturne is suddenly caught off guard by a metal tentacle, it grabs her wrist and she gets thrown into the wall and sharp hatchets are flying at her; she bends low and the tentacles get cut off by the hatchets, leaping backwards, she avoids the rest of the flying blades. She poses ready to fight as a robot appears, Nightcrawler yells for the program to end. He begins to lecture her on not taking anything seriously, even in the Danger Room. He reminds her that it’s for her own good and asks why she can’t listen to him or follow instructions. She turns to him in a rage and tells him that she is not him and never will be him and that he should stop trying to make her into him. Constant reprimanding won’t change her into him and it only hurts. She huffs off and asks when she gets to be herself.
T.J. changes and begins to leave the mansion to cool off, Kitty runs up to her and asks where she is going. Still pissed, she tells her that she is going out and opens the door, Kitty asks if she can come too, T.J.’s expression softens and they leave together.
Kurt is telling Logan about the incident with Talia and how she left. He tells him that he’s never seen her so angry before and questions if she is right. He reasons with himself, saying that he was only trying to prepare her to give her the necessary skill to survive, Kurt then wonders if he was demanding too much and being too harsh. Logan tells him yup, he then adds that she is his kid and he can raise her as he see fit but if he was asking him that he wasn’t going to lie to him. Logan tells Kurt that he has been pushing T.J. too hard without noticing that she has only been trying to please him. He adds that she is even wearing his old costume and it looks a lot better on her. Kurt starts to say something but an explosion interrupts them, SHAKOOOMM! Kurt tries to help Logan up as Cyclops stands in the hole he blasted in the wall. With his visor smoking, he tells them that he’s home, behind him he has a force of angry mutants: Blob, Hyve, Radioactive Man, Rogue, White Dwarf, and X-Punk’s Beast.

A Nocturne’s Tale - part 2
Wednesday, Nocturne’s Reality, sometime before she became an Exile
Earlier that day, Nocturne complains about her father, Nightcrawler, being so hard on her all the time. T.J. thinks that he doesn’t care about her feelings, that he just wants her to turn into who he thinks she should be instead of letting her discover who she is herself.  The truth is, she never told him how she felt and just kept it all bottled up inside and just decided to go all Hiroshima on him after an incident in the Danger Room. Though she regretted every word that came out of her mouth as she spoke them she did need to get out of the mansion to depressurize, but as soon as she left, Cyclops and his band of angry mutants show up ready for a fight, and the situation did some sincere and serious fan-hitting.
Cyclops stands in the new hole he punched through the wall with Rogue, Radioactive Man, Hyve, and White Dwarf. X-Punk’s Beast is easily taken out of the battle by a punch from Armageddon. Cyclops ask Kurt about not getting a hug for him having to come all that way along with his new friends. Kurt stays near Logan as the rest of the mutants have been alerted and have already entered the room ready to fight.
Armageddon, Thunderbird, Warlock, and Trudy stand ready to face off with Cyclops’ “friends.” Cyclops comments on how Kurt doesn’t look very glad to see him as Kurt bamfs out with Logan. He leaves him in the Med Lad with Moira and instructs her to help Logan into his exo-harness. Moira questions what is happening, Kurt returns to the fight after telling her that Cyclops is back with a bunch of others and that the X-Men reacted quickly but he still fears that they might be outmatched. Moira quickly runs over to help a struggling Logan.
A garage where the Butt Monkeys rehearse
T.J. has brought Kitty to band practice, they are the Butt Monkeys, their music style is neo-techno-thrash; fast, loud, and a good excuse to vent without any serious breakage, except eardrums. Kitty watches them rehearse with a confused look on her face. The band isn’t really good, never played one gig, but maybe with time… Kitty cringes. The name of the group had been decided by Sean the drummer, he’s a dork. Kitty cringes some more, shuts an eye with her mouth open, both eyes shut, another cringe.
Back at the mansion
Rogue tells Warlock that he’s got the stretching thing down but still looks a little brittle to her, she tears him in half and he falls to the ground clicking. Thunderbird punches Rogue calling her a monster and threatens to kill her if she killed Warlock. She blasts him with some flames from her Human Torch power and informs him that if she killed him then she did her job, “sugah.”
As Kurt attempts to reason with Scott, Hyve is crawling on the wall, Kurt tells Scott that he must stop this and that it doesn’t have to be this way. Cyclops tells Kurt that as long as he sides with murderers (Wolverine) then it will be this way. Kurt tells Scott that it’s not that simple and he knows it. Cyclops tells Kurt to watch his attitude since his swarming associate Hyve reacts primarily on instinct and he doesn’t tolerate aggressive postures very well. Just then, Hyve swarms Nightcrawler and the many ticklike insects begin to bite him, Nightcrawler bamfs in and out causing Hyve to burst into flames, “the vermin couldn’t tolerate the teleport.”
Outside of Powell‘s Pin Parlor
T.J. shows Kitty a Celtic knot tattoo she was thinking about getting behind either her shoulder of on the small of her back. Kitty comments on how Goth it would be. T.J. adds that she can’t get one though, her dad would kill her; even when he’s not around she lets him make all the decisions. Nocturne comments on how Kurt never even asked if she wanted to be an X-Man, she just is one. Kitty tells her that he just sounds like a dad to her then asks if being an X-Man is so bad. “I mean how many mutants are there in the world? And out of all of them, we get to do this. We get to do good. And make a difference. How cool is that?” T.J. squints in annoyance, fifteen years old, and Aunt Kate is still way smarter than her.
The mansion
As Logan tries to communicate with the team, he realizes that Cyclops came prepared and is jamming the TK chip. Moira mentions that Kurt won’t be able to handle Cyclops, Logan agrees and tells her that Kurt will try to reason with Cyke and that’ll get him killed.
Suddenly Armageddon crashes through the wall fighting with Radioactive Man. As Rogue and Cyclops enter the Room Logan and Moira are in she comments on how those boys sure make big holes. Cyclops tells Logan that he can not just block the TK chips but he can track them too. Thunderbird, now with half his clothes burned off from Rogue, is fighting with White Dwarf.  Nightcrawler bamfs in front of Cyclops and tells him that this must stop now. As Scott evilly says he agrees, he is interrupted by Lucien greeting him.
Tangles Hair Salon
Kitty and T.J. are in a hair salon, Kitty isn’t sure if T.J.’s idea is a good one, T.J. replies that she can bet her boots it’s a good idea. T.J. sits in a salon chair with a lady working on her hair, Kitty reads a magazine, she tells T.J. that she isn’t wearing any boots. T.J. tells her that isn’t her point. Kitty begins to explain that if it was snowing then she would be wearing her boots, T.J. tries to interrupt, Kitty goes on to say that it isn’t snowing because it’s summer. T.J. tells her that’s enough with the boots, Kitty reminds her that she was the one who brought it up. T.J.’s hair is done, she asks Kitty for her opinion, Kitty looks on in shock, the shock turns into “Your did is so gonna freak.” T.J. smirks with her new head of braided hair, “Y’think?”
The mansion
Cyclops is shocked at Lucien’s appearance, he asks what the X-Men have done to him. The glass around Lucien’s room is shattered and he has stepped out. He tells Mister Scott that Miss Moira is taking care of him and it’s all fine. Hyve suddenly swarms to attack Lucien, Cyclops screams for Hyve to stop but it’s too late. Lucien, reaches out a glowing finger bone to Hyve and repeats no, with contact, Hyve shrivels and turns white then falls to the ground dead. Cyclops looks on in horror as Lucien comments to Mister Scott that he is fine.
Outside of the mansion
Sundown, smoke billows from the mansion, Nocturne tries to drive faster to get back to find out what is happening at home, Kitty has her face pressed against the window in worry. As Nocturne is hurrying, she almost runs over a student. Kiko yells for Charlie to watch out. Nocturne gets out of the car to ask the kids what happened. Kiko tells her that someone attacked the school. Bobby tells her that big fat guy came after them and knocked out Nate and Mandy and George, he starts to list more names then adds that they ran away. Charlie ask Nocturne what they are to do. She tells them to stop whining and that they are X-Men, or will be one day and it’s about time they started acting like them. She repeats what Kitty told her about being an X-Man, “There are thousands of mutants in the world, and out of all of them you get the chance to do this. You get to be a hero.” Nocturne turns and smiles proudly at Kitty, “and how cool is that?” T.J. begins to gather them up to go but Bobby interrupts to ask what happened to her hair.
Blob stands with a bunch of unconscious kids around him. He complains about how he always gets the boring job where he doesn’t get to hurt anyone, then adds that he knocked down a few kids, then all the rest make like chickens. Charlie, Kiko, and Bobby show up tells him not to count them out so fast. They blast him with their fire powers while Bobby throws ice balls at them. He smirks telling them that he already told them that he’s the immovable Blob. Nocturne leaps onto his shoulders from a overhanging tree branch and calls him easily distracted them comments on how he shouldn’t be bragging about being way too fat to budge. Blob comments on having another blue fuzzy one around then threatens her not to make with the purple smoke, “I swear ya stink!” Nocturne grabs his head and ask if the immovable shtick applies to the brain inside of his head. Blob squeals then falls to the ground unconscious just as Nocturne leaps off his back. The kids cheer her on.
Inside the mansion
Lucien’s bones lie on the floor charred, the poor boy is dead. Kurt is stunned over Scott’s actions, he ask Scott how could he have killed Lucien since he was innocent and never did anything wrong. Scott calls Lucien a walking time bomb that could wipe out the entire mutant population if not the entire human race. Cyclops comments on how it’s classic for the X-Men to leave their messes for other people to clean up, he adds that he didn’t kill Lucien but the X-Men did. Kurt roars at Cyclops calling him a heartless monster.
As White Dwarf knocks Thunderbird down, Armageddon makes fun of Radioactive Man’s name; Armageddon ask why he just doesn’t call himself “Touch-Me-and-I’ll-Give-You-Cancer-Man.” Armageddon lands a hard punch to Radioactive Man’s chest plate. Radioactive Man calls him an idiot and complains about him compromising his containment suit, then knocks over Armageddon. As he gets up, Armageddon thanks him for the tip and tears into the suit. Radioactive Man screams NO, then a huge explosion follows sending nearly everyone flying to the ground. As the explosion occurs, Cyclops tells Kurt that it’s over, then blast him, Kurt falls to the ground smoking. Moira tries to tells Scott to stop, Logan tells her to not bother, she continues, “I miss Charles too. We all do. But you think this does justice to his memory- -and his dream?” Scott has heard enough, he commands Rogue to grab Moira, not to kill her but do shut her up. Rogue grabs Moira and Moira protests.
Scott turns his attention to Logan who is barely standing with his exo-harness. He tells Logan that it’s well past time for the murderer to pay for his crimes. Logan begins to tell him that he is so full of it but Nocturne interrupts him and asks that he watch his language since the children are present. Nocturne greets Mr. Summers, Scotts asks why not Uncle Scott and feigns that his feelings are hurt. She comments that he stopped being her uncle and he knows when and why. She asks to get on with it, he complies and blasts the kids but they all manage to avoid getting hit. Kitty phases through White Dwarf and lets part of her shirt go solid inside of him, it knocks him out and Kitty comments on how Nocturne was right about her powers being able to knock out a guys as dense as White Dwarf.
Rogue shows up behind Kitty and knocks her out with her Thing hands, then adds that T.J. shoulda reminded her to stay all ghosty longer. From behind Rogue, Bobby yells that she looks kinda funny and that he doesn’t mean ha-ha funny, he hits her in the back of the skull with an ice bat. As T.J. tries to sneak up on Cyclops, he blasts away Charlie and Kiko. Scott turns his attention to T.J. and asks if her big plan was to sneak up on him. She politely tells him that that she doesn’t have to sneak and lunges to try to possess him but ends up crashing into him and falling down next to Armageddon. Scott comments on how she shouldn’t be stupid and that he came prepared with a personal disrupter field, he adds that she should limit her bad decisions to her hairstyle.
Turning back to Logan who hasn’t moved or done anything during the course of the fight, Scott calls him a murderer again and blast away Logan’s exo-harness, his last means of support. Nocturne is pretty much knocked out of her senses so she doesn’t get most of what Cyclops said but it doesn’t really matter because he is in rant mode. Scott is screaming about Professor dying then goes on to yell about Jean, he holds Logan up by his shirt. He blames him for her death though that is impossible since Logan wasn’t even there, if anyone is at fault, it would be Cyclops. Wolverine calls him on it, which Cyclops doesn’t take well, he begins foaming at the mouth screaming at Logan, there isn’t much time left.
Nocturne rubs at her head, still too woozy to move, she still has an idea. She calls to Armageddon who is mumbling incoherently next to her but he was too out of it and she only has seconds to act, so she does. Logan feels his hands moving, he finds his knuckles pressed up against Scott’s chest and he plunges his claws into him. Scott is surprised, but that doesn’t matter, he falls to the ground. Logan with a sullen expression tells Nocturne who had possessed Armageddon’s body that she can put him down now.
Later in T.J.’s room
T.J. explains to Nightcrawler how she didn’t have a choice when she possessed Armageddon, she couldn’t have reached Scott in time to save Logan, she had to use his TK to animate Logan’s arms. She asks how Armageddon is doing, Kurt tells her that he is unconscious but he’ll recover and the others are okay. He comments on her taking such a great risk, how if she had been off by an inch or two, she interrupts him. Kurt places a hand on her shoulder and apologizes, then adds that he just worries. They hug and he tells her that he is proud of her and that she did a good thing, she thanks him, then he asks if they can talk about the hair.
After the Timebroker, on a beach sometime ago
Blink and Nocturne were talking about T.J.’s past, she comments on how that time was one of the last times that she had like that before Timebroker decided to play hide-the-reality. She finally felt that her dad was proud of her and it made her happy. Clarice mentions that she thinks that T.J. made Nightcrawler happy the day she was born, “You’re a good person T.J.” Clarice adds that there is one thing that is strange about her, T.J. ask what that would be, Blink mentions that T.J.’s tail retracts which is “eyuch.” T.J. tells her to live with it.

A Blink In Time - part 1
New York City…
Smoldering wreckage, broken pipes and fallen signs litter the ground around the Exiles. Tears, remorse, anger and confusion paint their faces and minds. Blink stands before her teammates, she casually asks who she replaced, then inquires if the person got to go home. Her hands fly to her mouth in horror as she sees Mariko dead in Morph’s arms. Heather cries into her hands, T.J. wipes away tears, Illyana holds her own arm in selfcomfort, and Calvin kneels on the ground and avoids looking at the team.
Enraged Morph screams at Clarice, “Mimic killed Mariko!” Clarice turns to Calvin, who is avoiding looking at her, she repeats to herself that it isn’t possible and can’t be true, she tries to look for some explanation from Calvin. Mimic, still hunched over with a bandage over one eye, calls her name and begs her not to look at him. As the group begins to teleport to their new mission, Morph looks down at Mariko’s body to say a final sad goodbye.
The Morlock Tunnels
The skeletons of long dead Morlocks and old fastfood bags and wrappers clutter the dark ground. Weapon X’s Gambit sits alone in the darkness waiting for answers from the Timebroker. As he gets a little impatient, a pink glow illuminates the dark dank tunnels. Seeing that his wait is over, Gambit still decides to observe the situation before he approaches the other time hopping team.
Morph goes on a rant telling Blink that he’s done with the team and especially with Mimic and he doesn’t care what the Tallus or she has to say. Blink reaches out a hand to Morph to try to calm him down. Calvin remains in the same hunched over position as before, T.J. and Heather hold onto themselves for comfort while Illyana stands alone and stares off into nothingness with a sad expression on her face. Morph lunges at Mimic calling him a murderer and blames his stupidity for Mariko’s death. As Blink tries to hold Morph back he screams for Calvin to look at him. Cal reluctantly complies and turns to Morph with his left eye still missing. With teeth gritted and face contorted with anger, Morph goes off again. “All we have is each other- -how could you betray us like that?!” Morph screams that he’s done with the team and whatever mission the Tallus wants them to go on, and he’s done with Calvin. Morph warns Calvin to stay away from him then begins to storm off. T.J. grabs Morph by the arm to reason with him that it wasn’t Calvin’s fault, that the Brood Egg inside of him made him do it. No longer facing the group Morph replies that Calvin should have killed himself to save their lives and he would have done it, even to save Calvin’s life; Morph storms off.
 Clarice stands over Calvin trying to comfort him, Heather weeps for Mariko and Illyana notices the man hiding in the dark.
Gambit greets them and acknowledges them as the Exiles. Introducing himself as Gambit from Weapon X, he tells them that he’s been waiting for them for a long time. Gambit sympathizes with them for what they have been through, he can relate, he’s been through a lot lately also. He offers them some food and invites them to talk. Cal leaves the group with Blink following him trying to help him work things out and Illyana rushes off in the direction Morph went in. T.J. asks her where she’s going and Illyana rudely asks her if it’s really her business and storms off. Wiping away a tear, Heather tells Nocturne to just let Illyana go and maybe she will run into Morph and he’ll kick her tail. T.J. comments that that’ll be worth seeing, Gambit offers them something to eat again, stale Ho-Hos, smashed up chips, or melted ice cream.
Clarice momentarily loses track of Mimic and calls out to him begging him to talk to her. She walks in on him blowing up a wall with his optic blast and looks on in astonishment then places a hand on his shoulder after he’s done. With red smoke still smoldering from his eyes, he tells her to please go away, then says that she doesn’t understand what he’s done and doesn’t know about the Brood that lay eggs inside of a host body and eventually take control. Clarice kneels with Calvin and holds onto his hands and tells him that she knows it wasn’t his fault because he would never do anything to intentionally hurt any of them, she reasons that they’ve all done things or had things happen to then that that they couldn’t control. Pulling away from her he states that he should have been able to regain control. Feeling a sudden fit of rage, he turns into his steel form and punches through another wall. Reverting back to his human form, Cal tells Clarice that he just keeps failing at who he is and what he believes in. Cal holds out his hand as if holding something up and says that he used to think that Xavier’s dream was secondary to saving whole realities but he realizes that he is wrong.
Calvin moves over to Clarice and holds her face in his hands, he tells her that Xavier’s dream is even more important in the screwed up worlds they visit and that it’s time that he tried to make a difference instead of taking shortcuts and blindly following the Timebroker and Tallus. With a tired look or weariness on her face Calvin tells Clarice that he’s sorry that Mariko is gone but he’s missed her, for so long. She embraces him and closes her eyes sadly telling him that she’s missed him too and that everything will be alright, she swears it.
Illyana yells for Morph to please wait up, he angrily asks what she wants. She struggles with her words and ends up telling him that she’s sorry for his loss, she begins to apologize for getting off on the wrong foot with them but Morph interrupts. He refers to what she calls the wrong foot as the wrong paw, then declares that she’s worse than Mimic and that she’s a killer. In a huff, Morph starts to walk away but Illyana throws out her arms behind him in defeat and tells him that the Timebroker told her that her whole family is going to die if she doesn’t fix these timelines as an Exile. She will go back to her reality and slaughter her entire family, all of them. Morph stops, she’s got his attention, he turns to look at her, she is holding her arms trying to comfort herself. Illyana adds that she is going to kill everyone that she loves. Morph goes up and holds her silently, she explains that she doesn’t know what to do, and that she knows that she seems crazy and horrible to them but she is willing to do anything to not have to kill her family. Still holding onto her, Morph tells her to calm down and promises that they’ll figure this out with her. She tells him that she’s felt so alone since she was taken from her reality and that no one understands her, she turns to him and gazes into his eyes. As Morph starts to ask Illyana what she is doing, she kisses him on the lips and he pulls away in shock. After screaming whoa a few times, he asks what that was and tells her that now is not the time. Ignoring him, she grabs his shoulders and asks if he can look like and anyone then begins to tell him who she always wanted to be with. Morph interrupts and tells her that she had him believing for a minute that she wasn’t a psycho. He asks her not to spoil the moment by being psycho and that just because he shows her kindness doesn’t mean that he’s ready to get all touchy-feely with her. Morph begins to explain about how Sunfire just died, Illyana apologizes. Morph, still holding her, tells her to take it one step at a time.
In a mirror, Calvin checks his eye, which has regenerated itself due to Wolverine’s healing factor. As Cal is examining his eye, Clarice has noticed that she has gotten the Tallus back. Cal looks down at his wrist and notices that it is gone and he hadn’t even noticed it; he tells her that she was always meant to be their leader, then asks where she disappeared to after the Legacy Planet. She tells him that she was sent back to Sabretooth’s world and that a lot has changed and the kids are grown up now but not all of them survived. She gets up from the bed she was sitting on, then adds that she doesn’t want to talk about it now and leans into him for an embrace. She tells him that they should be getting back to the others. Calvin holds her as she rests her head on his chest, he tells her that it can wait a minute since the Tallus hasn’t given them their mission yet. He places a hand on her chin tenderly, they gaze into each other’s eyes and she says that maybe they can stay a little while longer.
As Illyana sits next to Morph on the floor, she casually asks if Morph really loved Sunfire, even though she dug chicks. Morph, holding his knees close to his chest and tells her that he did but it doesn’t really matter now. He then says that love and sex really have nothing to do with each other, then states that men everywhere can rejoice in being proven right. Illyana turns to Morph and asks if he really blames Mimic, she calls him a big rube but adds that he has also been nothing but a hero since she arrived. Morph pats her on the shoulder and tells her that they all know what the Brood are and how dangerous they can be and that he would never have put any of their lives in danger, not even hers. She sarcastically comments on his remark but Morph defends himself and asks if she has a problem with his being honest and tells her that they can’t trust her and that she is the wildcard in a situation where they only have each other and trust is as important as air. With his teethe gritted, Morph adds that she might be excused because she’s new and doesn’t understand the situation but Mimic should know better and he violated that trust and violated them by keeping things from the team.
 Morph begins to get up and walk away and tells Illyana that he’s headed back to the others since they still need him and he still needs them; Mimic messed up and he doesn’t plan to punish the others for it. Illyana gets up and asks Morph not to go, tells him that they will get them when they are needed. With a cold expression, Morph asks why she cares about what he does. She grabs his arm and tells him that she cares because he has helped her feel normal for the first time in such a long time. She pleads with him to stay a little while longer with her and they sit back down on the ground. Morph tells her no funny stuff. She leans on his shoulder, “Not even a little bit.” Morph tells her that funny is his department and she concurs.
Gambit explains to Heather and T.J. that he began to lie to Hyperion and the others about their missions in order to trick them into doing what was needed to be able to move ahead and he would be closer to getting back to his reality, his home, his love, his Storm. That plan worked well for about two missions, Hyperion, Ms, Marvel, and Spider were crazy but Gambit, Hulk, and Firestar just wanted to get back home to their realities. Hyperion eventually figured out Gambit’s plan and decided that he could no longer be trusted with the Tallus.
Flashback
His remedy for that was to tear off his arm with the Tallus as he burned through the cloth, skin, flesh, and bone that connected the arm. As Gambit screamed in pain from having his arm burned through, Hyperion took the Tallus off the severed arm and Hulk decided that he had enough. Banner smashed Hyperion to the ground and called out to Firestar reminding her that the Timebroker wanted Hyperion dead and he now does too. Spider joined the fray and tried to lasso Hulks hand and pull him off Hyperion, “Hype’s the man! If he can’t do it no one can!” Ms. Marvel attacked Firestar and told her that she’d been waiting for a reason to kill her. The fight that broke out was massive and the outcome is unknown to Gambit as he figured it was suicide to stick around and crawled into the Morlock Tunnels to be safe.
present
He tells Heather and T.J. that he assumes that Firestar and Hulk lost, otherwise the Exiles wouldn’t have been sent. As they munch on stale candy, Gambit tells them that the tunnels were pretty much deserted except for a few bodies here and there. Heather brings up Hyperion’s eyeblasts, Gambit tells her that he figures that they cauterized his wound which is why he didn’t even bleed much. “Lucky me.” T.J. and Heather look on in concern as he add that he got the Tallus back and that it just shifted arms, he wonders aloud with them if the Tallus would end up on his ankle or something if Hyperion had decided to take both arms. Heather offers to take a look at Gambit’s arm but he declines saying that he figures that if he’s not dead yet then it’s not going to kill him. T.J. asks what Weapon X’s original mission was and Remy tells her that the Tallus never gave him one and that he’s been down in the Morlock Tunnels for close to a month and the only word from the Tallus was to wait, he adds that he would have too, but he was afraid of Hyperion finding him. The Tallus suddenly glows red and gives them their new mission.
Calvin is sleeping as Clarice is resting her head her head on his chest, her Tallus glows giving her the mission as well.
Morph pats Illyana on the head as she rests it on his lap, taking a little nap.
Nocturne and Heather watch Gambit in horror: “Of the two teams that are here - - the twelve people from Exiles and Weapon X - - only six will move on. The rest must die.”
New York City: Times Square
A line of people stand waiting with their money, jewels, and other worldly possessions, the stand waiting, forced to offer Hyperion his bounty. A small child holding a teddy bear smiles as he sees Spider leaping overhead. Spider screams for Hyperion and informs him that his Spider senses just went loopy which means the Exiles have arrived. His eyes glow ember red and a sinister smile crosses Hyperion’s face, “Perfect. It’s been a bit boring around here. . . what with no more super heroes to kill.” Hulk and Firestar hang from webbing with painful expressions on their faces. The corpses of other heroes hang from webbing and a few lay scattered on the ground. Hyperion sits on his throne with Ms. Marvel sitting at his knee and Spider before him.

A Blink In Time - part 2
A News Report:
A reporter for CBN recaps what has been happening in New York City for the past twenty-five days: Hyperion and his team of crazed Weapon X members have laid siege to New York and faced off with the Fantastic Five. In the end, the Thing lay in crumbs on the ground as Hyperion stretched Mr. Fantastic to death. Ms. Marvel blew off the Human Torch’s head with an energy blast and Spider had the Invisible Woman webbed up while he faced off with Spiderman.
The Avenger were the next team to attempt to take down Weapon X but their efforts proved futile as well, Captain America and Thor were killed, respectively, their shield and hammer were carelessly tossed aside. After the virtual one-manned annihilation of America’s most “powerful and revered heroes,” Hyperion announced to President Osborne that if he were not granted over control of the United States by the next day, he would destroy Manhattan. In the weeks that followed, Hyperion seized Manhattan, and is allowing no one in or out of the city.
Bringing things back to current time, Hyperion has announced that he will begin to kill a hundred people every hour on the hour until his demands are met at 3 PM today. The President is currently in an underground bunker along with several heads of state asking for patience for an internal solution to Hyperion. However, it is looking like the allies of the United States are planning to send in their own solutions to the global threat: the Invaders, the Republican Guard, or perhaps a nuclear solution. “In times like these with the nation’s super-powered resources destroyed, we ask ourselves, as a nation, only one question – who will save us from this madman?”
An Abandoned Manhattan Apartment
An offended Mimic informs the Exiles and Gambit that he has no intention on listening to the Tallus and kill people, he is done killing. Leaning against a wall, Illyana smugly reminds Calvin that he is a day late on that. Clarice shoots her an annoyed look and tells Illyana to give it a break. Calvin tries to reason with Morph and the group. He apologizes for what happened with Sunfire, explaining that he never meant for her to die. Morph avoids Calvin’s eyes while he continues to talk. He explains that he knows that his feeling bad doesn’t make it right and he also knows that they have to do something about Hyperion but there has to be another way besides killing. Still avoiding Cal’s eyes, Morph agrees and accepts Cal’s reasoning, he warns him not to do it again or he will take him down.
Turning his attention to the matter at hand, Morph ask Blink exactly what the Tallus is telling her and Gambit. With their Talluses held up they tell them that they are both saying the same thing, that the Timebroker feels that having two teams of reality fixers was a mistake. With a confused look on her face, Heather raises her hand and ask how the Timebroker can feel that way since he is supposed to be a construct of their collective unconscious. Someone suggests that maybe they might be realizing that they are messing things up royally, T.J. questions that they are doing this to themselves. Heather adds that she feels that they have messed up on a few missions but she has never wanted to kill herself over it, or anyone else for that matter. Gambit lets them know that whatever it is, the Tallus is unwavering in his instructions to pare down to six members and he adds that it might have something to do with Weapon X going psychotic with the arrival of Hyperion. Clarice tells an unhappy Calvin that regardless, the Tallus is clear that the only way they can finish their mission is to kill each other off and it doesn’t matter whether you’re on Exiles of Weapon X; six of the twelve have to die in order to move on, and there are seven people in the room. Everyone looks away from each other in dejection, Morph lifts his head: “Well, that’s cheery.”
Meanwhile
Spider watches the city on top of a gargoyle as Hyperion flies toward him asking if he has found either the Exiles of Gambit yet. When Spider tells him that he hasn’t, Hyperion tells him that they need to find them since they don’t know what the Timebroker has planned for him, then. Spider asks if there is any word from the President, then adds that it must be tough to hand over control of the United States to someone you don’t even really know. Feigning tears, Spider pretends to wipe them away remarking that they grow up so fast. Hyperion ignores him and turns to fly away, then commands Spider to find them and that he, Hyperion, obviously need to show the President that he is serious and will prove it by beginning executions. He tells Spider to meet him in Times Square in an hour. Giving Hyperion thumbs up, Spider tells him that it’s no problem and he’ll just be out in the cold looking for the Exiles while Hyperion goes to sit on his fat throne in Times Square.
Back at the Apartment
Illyana and Morph talk quietly away from the group, near a window. She asks Morph what the plan is after they save the people from the execution, since they will eventually have to do what the Tallus says for them to get home. Illyana starts to plan out who to kill: Mimic, then Gambit. Morph interrupts her and tells her to listen to herself. He knows she wants to get home but they will not be killing anyone, not friends nor enemies. Illyana tries to reason with Morph saying that she thought he would want Mimic dead after what happened to Sunfire and they don’t even know Gambit. She adds that she would say kill them all except for Morph’s attachment to them. Morph tells her that he’s had enough and reminds her to stick to the plan. While walking away from her, he recaps the plan, they save the people, Nocturne will possess Hyperion and they will figure a way out of this reality, since they are heroes and there will be no killing. She turns away from him.
Morph joins the group, Blink comments on how Illyana is a little nuts, Morph defends her by saying that she just wants to get home and no on the team had really ever reached out to her, he offers to switch groups and go with Illyana on the mission. Blink places a hand on Morph’s shoulder and questions if he is sure that they can really trust Illyana considering that she killed Morlocks, and possibly Avengers. He tells her that she hasn’t killed any of them yet.  With concern possessing her face Blink repeats “yet.” Morph keeps a serious expression on his face and keeps silent. Blink tells Morph that Mimic feels horrible, she then tries to defend him mentioning the Brood egg. Morph changes the subject and insists on getting the plan started. Illyana walks up to the two and apologizes to Morph, expressing that she just thinks that they have to do what the Tallus says and that she doesn’t want Morph mad at her. Morph tells her that he knows that she wants to go home - they all do. He asks her to just trust him, as they embrace. Morph reminds her to be careful, listen to what Nocturne says, and stick to the plan. She tells him that she will as she teleports out with Sasquatch and Nocturne. Nocturne reminds everyone to be careful and Sasquatch asks that they save a piece of Hyperion for her since she wants to “bust that guy bad.” Gambit tells Nocturne to make sure that Hyperion is down before she comes running. Blink asks Gambit if he is sure if he is up for the mission. He assures her that he is and adds that he want to get in a few shots of his own despite the fact that Hyperion will probably not even feel them, after all Hyperion did blast his arm off.
Times Square
The throne of Hyperion is empty, Hulk and Firestar remain hung up by webbing behind the massive chair built from debris. Ms. Marvel flies toward the throne area, many dead heroes lie piled in front of the throne, and the civilians stand waiting for news as to what will happen to them. A family huddles together amidst the chaos, they contemplate what they should do since Hyperion and his group destroyed the bridges and threatened to tear down the buildings if the people didn’t voluntarily come out. The father places his faith in the President, and eventually nods his head down in despair. He pulls his wife and son close to him, they hold each other to remain warm. Suddenly, Hyperion shows up and commands the attention of the citizens, telling them that since the President seems to be stalling, possibly because he does not trust that he will honor his word, he will release some of the captives as a sign of good faith. Spider crouches around Carol, and he disappointedly, questions what Hyperion is doing. Carol slyly smirks and Hyperion announces that they will select one hundred of them to be freed. It finally clicks in Spiders head, Hyperion has no intention on releasing the captives, “cool beans.” Hoping over to Hulk and Firestar, Spider tries to wake them so that they will have to watch the carnage.
Firestar attempts to persuade Spider to stop the insanity because if Hyperion doesn’t stop them, the Timebroker will never let them go back to their realities. While Hulk moans in pain, Spider mockingly feigns interest and tells her that it sounds bad, turning his attention to Hulk, Spider comments on his “well said” moan, and then suggests that with the beating from Hyperion, he doesn’t suppose that he can say anything then ask what it’s like to eat his own arm. Firestar chimes in reminding Spider that their job is to repair these realities and not to ruin them. Leaping over toward Hyperion, Spider tells her that it sounds like loser talk to him.
With his eyes eerily white, Hyperion commands the New Yorkers to come forward and live.
A building above Times Square
Illyana continues to argue with Heather and T.J. She lets them know that she finds the plan crazy and insists on killing Gambit. Nocturne tells her to shut up and informs her that they are sticking to the plan. She then suggests to Heather to change back into human form since someone might spot her in her Sasquatch form. Heather, back in her human form, tells Nocturne that Hyperion is rounding up the people and they have to stop him now. They continue to observe as Nocturne tells her that they will stop it.
Nocturne and Heather go over the plan, they will strike after the first group goes in to nail him then Nocturne will move in and possess Hyperion. Heather tells her that she makes the plan sound so easy, they begin to discuss if Nocturne will even be able to possess Hyperion since he is an alien.
Meanwhile, Illyana turns from them with a disturbed look on her face and pulls out her sword, approaching them from behind she pulls her arm back ready to strike. As Nocturne tells Heather to not be such a nervous Nellie, Heather sees Illyana approaching them.
 “Six of us will move on …” Instinctively moving in to protect T.J. Heather uses her own body to shield Nocturne. Illyana slashes Heather across the back with her sword, “And I will be one!” Nocturne hits Illyana with a hex bolt and screams that she’s insane. Reaching over for her fallen sword, Illyana tells her that she is not insane and that she is more in tunes with the reality of the situation than any of them. “This is life and death and I’m going to live!” As she picks up her sword, she teleports right behind Hyperion.
Hyperion nonchalantly, recognizes her as an Exile and asks if she is here to save her people, then questions where the rest of the Exiles are and what the the Timebroker’s plan is. Illyana tells Hyperion that she isn’t there to fight him.
In an alley nearby, Mimic and the others look in is shock, Mimic questions what Illyana is doing and wonders where Sasquatch and Nocturnes are. Gambit comments on how if it was really them that was supposed to go in first. Blink, with her arms crossed in frustration, confirms that they were supposed to go in first. Calvin comments on how now they will have to change their plan quickly. Morph continues to look on with concern and disbelief, “No, Illyana.”
Illyana tells Hyperion that she has come to join him. He asks her what makes her think that he needs her. With a sly smirk on her lips, Illyana tells him that she knows what the mission is, she tells him that there can only be six members of both groups left, the rest dies and they move on. Annoyed, Hyperion tells her that he is tired of the games and lifts her up by the throat. He informs her that Gambit played games with him and he crippled him, he then asks why he should do less with her. Frantically thinking and trying to save her own life, Illyana tells him that she knows where Gambit and all the others are, so they can kill them and go home. With an evil grin, Hyperion mocks her for believing that the the Timebroker will send them home. She tries to reason with him, telling him that the the Timebroker did say that.
Morph questions what Illyana is doing and tells the others that he thought that she was changing. Mimic tells Morph that there is nothing that they can do now and that they will have to continue on with the plan without her. Calvin suggests that Blink and Gambit should teleport over to where Nocturne and Sasquatch are to check to see if they are alright. Blink tells them to keep their fingers crossed and teleports away with Gambit.
Illyana begs and tells Hyperion that she just wants to go home. Hyperion contemplates if Illyana is telling the truth and deduces that since if the Timebroker is really trying to get them to kill each other then he won’t send replacements for the dead. With a horrified look on her face, Illyana screams that it is what she has been trying to tell him. Hyperion tells her that he shall test her little theory and crushes her throat. With a final struggle and kick of her leg, Illyana goes limp and dies.
Morph screams in outrage, Mimic turns into his steel form and grabs Morph by the shoulder to keep him from rushing in recklessly. Morph yells for Mimic to let go of him and tells him that he is taking Hyperion down, with of without his help. Turning to face Mimic, he asks if he is with him.
As Hyperion drops Illyana’s lifeless corpse onto the ground, he notices that no one new has been teleported in. With this realization of Illyana telling the truth, he informs the others that they will find the Exiles and kill the ones they want and perhaps move onto another reality that is more willing to bend to his will. Looking over at Hulk and Firestar, Hyperion realizes that they are expendable as long as seven live. Hyperions blasts Hulk and the heat singes the webbing holding Firestar. She gets free and tells Hyperion that she’s isn’t just going to sit there and die especially knowing that he plans to kill the people whether she stays captive or not. Spider takes this as an opportunity to attack Firestar, misjudging the situation, he leaps in, Hyperion yells for him to wait. Too late, With an angry look on her face, Firestar invites Hyperion and Spider to both “feel the heat.” With a massive burst of flames, Firestar burns her self up along with Spider and sends Hyperion and Mr. Marvel flying. Hyperion and Ms. Marvel comment on how two more have died and yet there are no replacements being sent, they decide that it could be fun to kill two more and move onto the next reality.
Morph, with spikes covering his body, and Mimic fly in, “No one else dies here today but you, Hyperion!” Calvin comments on the element of surprise being gone, Hyperion acknowledges the two Exiles and comments on how they are here to fight to the death and it now looks like he will move onto the next world.

A Blink In Time - part 3
Times Square, New York City
Nocturne holds a bleeding Heather in her arms as she tells the others that Heather has already lost a lot of blood. Blink questions why Heather didn’t turn into Sasquatch and let her mutant healing factor take over. Nocturne informs her that they were attacked from behind and that they didn’t expect that Illyana would try to kill them. Nocturne suggest that Gambit or Blink teleport Heather to the hospital but Gambit informs her that Hyperion destroyed the one hospital that remained open after he took over. Nocturne suggest that she might be able to posses Heather and trigger the transformation. Blink and Nocturne seem to be happy with that idea but Gambit questions Nocturne about only being able to posses a body once per day. He wonders what that will do for their plan for Hyperion. Nocturne acknowledges it but also reminds Gambit that they cannot let Heather die. Placing a hand on Nocturne’s shoulder, Blink assures her that saving Heather comes first and they can worry about Hyperion later, especially after Illyana’s stunt. As Nocturne possesses the other woman, Heather screams in pain.
Nearby
As Morph and Mimic fly in to take on Hyperion, the are greeted by an unimpressed Hyperion. “Oh. . . The Exiles. How utterly pathetic.” Mimic warns Morph to get back as Hyperion prepares to blast them with his eye blast. Still angry about Illyana, Morph tells Mimic to get off him and that Hyperion is a dead man. Mimic and Hyperion both blast each other, their power collide in the air and send Morph and Mimic hurtling back. Crashing in a blast of hot energy, Mimic turns into his steel form to brace for impact and Morph turns all gooey, “Waaah. . . Dorothy, I’m melting!” Annoyed, Morph tears into Mimic but Mimic reminds him that they only have one chance at taking down Hyperion and they have to work together.
As Hyperion tells them that they waste too much time talking, Morph hits him with a giant fist of stone and informs him that he wastes too much time pontificating. Hyperion grabs Morph by the neck and tries to strangle him, he informs him that it was a wasted effort. Morph proves otherwise and takes a bite out of Hyperion’s arm. Hyperion slugs Morph in the face and calls him an useless idiot. Mimic, in steel form, comes to Morph’s aid and crashes into Hyperion. Morph, as Super Man, tells Hyperion that if he thinks that he is done with him, then he has another thing coming.
Meanwhile, Ms. Marvel flies up behind Morph with an energy blast ready to hit him. As her blast hits him, Morph falls to the ground and Carol starts to tells Morph how she still has enough energy to kill him. Morph paraphrases Hyperion and tells her “ talk less - do more!” With his hands the size of snow plows, he grabs enclose Carol in them and crashed both him and Ms. Marvel into debris.
Hyperion tells Mimic that he is almost a challenge and crushes Mimic’s steel hand. Hyperion continues his self glorification and tells Mimic that he destroyed all of his reality’s super-humans: Thor, Hercules, Galactus, and no one could stand against him. Mimic tries to prove him wrong and blasts Hyperion with an optic blast. A smoldering Hyperion grins menacingly and continues to tell Mimic that in desperation the humans even tried nuclear weapons on him which destroyed their environment and atmosphere. Gripping Mimic by the neck, Hyperion tells Hyperion that even his own sense of boredom could not stop him.
A possessed Sasquatch drops in on top of Hyperion and knocks him down. Nocturne steps out of Sasquatch for her to continue healing and zaps Hyperion with a hex bolt. Blink and Gambit show up next ready to fight Hyperion. Hyperion calls Gambit pathetic for making his last stand with the Exiles and tells him that he should have ripped off his head rather than his arm. He picks up a huge piece of debris and throws it at Blink and Gambit. Blink lands in front of Hyperion from the impact and Gambit lands near a burned sword, Illyana’s sword. As Hyperion heads over to Blink, Nocturne blindsides him and hits him with a hex bolt from behind. As she warns Blink to move, Hyperion grabs her by the neck and throws Nocturne aside and continues to make his way to Blink. Hyperion informs them that they are annoying and should all just die. Blink holds out one of her teleportation bolts as Hyperion mocks the “pointy rock” and tells her to die with some dignity. As he blasts her, she opens up a portal which takes the blast and sends it back out behind Hyperion. Hyperion falls to the ground unable to feel his legs, he begins to yell at Blink for what she did to him.
Gambit shows up behind Hyperion and tells Blink to go and that she did her part and he’ll take care of the rest. She teleports away as Hyperion questions what is happening to him. Gambit charges up Illyana’s blade, and plunges it into Hyperion’s back, “I love you, Stormy. This is for you.”
 A big explosion follows, when the smoke clears, Blink picks up Gambit’s foot. Sasquatch helps Calvin up, Nocturne informs them that the plan worked and Blink took out Hyperion. Blink corrects her and tells them that Hyperion killed himself, she just opened the portal. Sasquatch asks what happened to Illyana and Cal informs her that Hyperion killed her. Blink realizes that they haven’t seen Morph in a while and questions where he is.
A young boy points out Morph to his father, he tells him that the pale guy is still alive. The father tells him that the bad woman next to him isn’t alive. They help Morph up and he tells them that if she were still alive, she would still be trying to kill him. Morph thanks them for helping them out of the debris. The dad walks away with his son and tells him that they should start helping their mom with the other injured people. Puzzled, Morph asks how they won.
As Morph starts to joke about how they know how to make a mess of New York city and how their next mission better be to Tahiti or Vegas, the Timebroker shows up and tells Morph that his next trip will be home.
Confused, Morph asks the Timebroker what is going on. The Timebroker tells him that the universe has bitten off more than it can chew and that with the many different personalities of the Exiles and Weapon X and the alien possession of Mimic, their collective subconscious has been disrupted. Timebroker explains to Morph that because of that and the Weapon X team deciding that they wanted to take over realities, they needed to take out some of the members. Morph notices that the Timebroker accidentally says “we” when referring to himself and the Timebroker brushes it off as a slip of the collective subconscious tongue. He continues and says that the team is back to it’s once harmonious self minus Morph. Morph struggles with the idea of being able to return home as Blink and the others show up and start telling him that they were worried about him.
Morph tells the Timebroker that he doesn’t want to go home, and the Timebroker responds that Morph has always been one of his favorites and that he can arrange it for him to stay with his friends. Morph tells him that they are not his friends but are his family and that he can’t leave them. As the Timebroker disappears, he tells Morph to take care of them and that he will keep their conversation between the two of them.
Mimic runs toward them to try and get the Timebroker to wait. Morph tells the others that he will explain everything to them later and finds out from the others that no one else survived. Morph tells Mimic that he knows it wasn’t his fault that Sunfire died and acknowledges that Calvin is one of the most heroic men he has ever met and that the things they do are sometimes things they would never do otherwise if they weren’t living their lives as Exiles. Mimic hugs Morph and tells him that he is like a little brother to him.
Later. . .
A news report is on while the Exiles takes a well earned rest. The news reporter goes over the happening of the past weeks, mentioning how Hyperion and his group has been stopped by a group of mysterious heroes and how they are thanks by many whose lives they have saved.
