Consequences
Storm meets Bishop at a secluded place on Krakoa. He wanted to talk with her privately. He kept plucking away on a mystery that was bothering him, regarding the Red Queen’s murder. He shows her some vines he recovered near Kate’s body. Want to guess where the only place in the world they seem to grow is? On Krakoa, near a sleepy knoll in walking distance of Hellfire Bay, Storm replies. They grow as fast as quicksilver. Bishop commends her, he should have guessed she already knew. So what? Because he is on the Quiet Council the Black King just gets away with it? Storm promises him he will not.
Hellfire Bay, Krakoa:The confrontation was pushed to the back, given the tournament. But now it’s time. Kate and Emma ride toward the Black Keep.
Shaw sits inside enjoying a fireplace and a drink, when he hears a knocking noise at the door. He is annoyed but, when the knocks continue, he walks to the door shouting out who it is. A fist phases through the door and hits him in the face.
A moment later Kate, phases herself and Emma through the door. Emma states they need to discuss his contract. Wiping away the blood, he informs them they have blundered the beginning of this negotiation. Do they not recall his mutant gift? He masters kinetic energy!
Emma shoots him with the power-dampening gun she recently acquired. Kate follows up with a kick to the groin to show how vulnerable he has become. Master that kinetic energy! she tells him then asks what he is serving tonight.
While he still struggles with his new reality, Kate enjoys herself by destroying some of his priceless whiskeys. Emma announces they will speak for a short time, then judgment will pass. They know he undermined Krakoa with Verendi in Madripoor. Luring the Red Queen into a trap. They know the Krakoan medicines were part of the quid pro quo.
Shaw claims he did not know Verendi were going to poison the medicines to undermine Krakoa. She should think not, otherwise he would already be in the Hole, Emma informs him.
Shaw gets up and interrupts her. He asks “Kitty” to stop. That’s a bottle of Port Ellen, bottled to celebrate the Queen’s visit to the distillery in 1980. It’s priceless!
Wow, Kate comments. She’s been working on an impression. Who is she? She downs a gulp of the whiskey, then spits it into the fire. She’s Lockheed! she shouts. Shaw asks her please not to. She throws the bottle into the fire. He can beg better than that. Shaw shouts ‘No’ and runs to stop her. Better, Kate observes, but not as good as the pleading she did when she asked him to spare Lockheed.
He tries to save the bottle. She tells him he has bigger problems. It was a gift from Ichiro himself, he shouts as his jacket starts burning.
Maybe men are too emotional, Kate comments to Emma, who pours some drinks and orders Shaw to sit. They need to discuss the consequences. Shaw gets rid of the jacket. They can talk but he won’t be manhandled like this. They think he needs his mutant gift to protect himself? He enters a boxer stance. Kate effortlessly hits his Adam’s apple with a martial arts move, forcing him to his knees again.
Emma orders him to compose himself. This is what’s going to happen. His various treacheries will be revealed to the Quiet Council. They will deliberate his fate for less time than they discuss their meal orders from Saucier. Then he’ll be exiled beside Sabretooth for eternity. Or… Kate has sat down next to her… he may wish to entreat Kate and Emma to make his transgressions a private Hellfire affair on the Spring side of the Quiet Council. What say he? A public adjudication or a private matter?
Neither! he shouts and flees. Emma sighs and asks Kate to collect him.
Shaw jumps from a second-floor window and lands hard outside. Glob Herman asks if he is okay. Kate comes outside, says ‘hi’ to Glob and drags Shaw back inside. Glob wisely continues on his way.
Kate pushes Shaw in front of Emma and they repeat their offer. Shaw hisses that they should both be thanking him. While Kate pours some drinks, Emma announces she suddenly enjoys imagining him as nothing more than a pillow for Victor. Kate suggests they hear him out.
Shaw defends himself. Emma asked him to help form a nation for mutants. Then she offers a chair at Hellfire and council seat to a woman who might not even have been a mutant. They didn’t know who Kitty really was. Emma slaps him and orders him to call her Kate. Shaw apologies. Kate.
Kate tells him to go on. Shaw explains now she knows she is a real mutant. The only thing he robbed from her is doubt. He freed her. She is better than before. Apocalypse may be gone, but his philosophy remains. He hopes she understands why he did what he did and he humbly asks her… to forgive him.
Kate points out that she is not the only aggrieved party. Storm enters with Lockheed. Storm announces that Lockheed demanded blood and she demanded to see this.
Emma announces good news. The work of Blackstone is far too important to carelessly topple all the pieces on the board. She negotiated on his behalf a settlement where the young lad will only acquire a taste of what he wanted.
Back! Shaw shouts, as Lockheed attacks tearing out Shaw’s eye, which he then spits into the fireplace.
Kate hands Shaw a drink. Still on his knees, Shaw seethes that hew have had their debaucherous times at the Hellfire Club, but don’t they think his punishment was a tad excessive? Emma informs him of a switch in roles. The Black Bishop will now service the countries that recognize their sovereignty. The Red Queen will serve the Black Market, and the dragon taking his eye was not his punishment.
Before he can understand, Kate informs him he drank a dram laced with the Verendi poison. Storm warns him if he flees and goes into the Resurrection Protocols, she will make sure he stays there for a long time. Emma promises Krakoa will see her sister Cordelia returned before he comes back.
Shaw breaks down in agony. The three women inform him, should he survive the poison, he will live in a broken body until such time the three of them agree he should be healed or put through resurrection. Kate gives him an eye-patch.
Emma informs him he can give them his decision at the Council meeting the next morning. She will fetch him with one of Charles’ old wheelchairs.
In the morning at the council meeting, Xavier announces that, once the spring side arrives, their priority should be finding successors for Jean and Apocalypse. Nightcrawler observes the Spring side seems to be missing a chair.
The answer to that comes when Emma. Storm and Kate come with a jaundiced looking wheelchair-bound Shaw. They act as if everything is normal. Magneto asks if the council shouldn’t discuss what has append to Sebastian. Nope, Kate replies, unless he wants to put it to a vote. He would. Xavier agrees. Hell, yes, Sinister grins. Exodus agrees. Mystique chuckles and votes no. Storm’s vote is a curt no. Er, yes? Kurt suggests. All three Spring members vote no.
They are deadlocked, Shaw points out. Obviously his body has been hurt, but his spirit has not dimmed. Fear not, in any case he remains Krakoa’s humble servant, he promises with a wicked grin.

The Winds of Change
No long ago, after Kate Pryde’s funeral, Lockheed had come to Emma Frost’s castle and, via telepathy, showed her the identity of the man who hurt him and killed Kate – Sebastian Shaw. Emma telepathically orders her knight Callisto to find the Black Bishop – Sebastian’s son Shinobi – and await the kill order.
Shinobi is just having drinks with Emma’s brother Christian at the Green Lagoon and he has an idea he wants Christian to run by Emma. Emma telepathically influences Shinobi to excuse himself for a moment and head outside. There she reads his mind. She tells Callisto who has her knife ready to stand down. Shinobi didn’t know.
She orders Shinobi to return to her brother and be kind to him and to remember nothing of this encounter. Callisto wants to know what’s wrong. Nothing they can’t fix, is Emma’s evasive answer.
The present:Storm sits atop a mountain, telling Callisto, who is climbing upward to join her, that she knows her answer. Exhausted, Cal complains she has been really hard to get ahold of, since that Otherworld nonsense. Enough about her problems; has Storm told Emma and Kate that she is leaving yet? Storm replies that, even without Cal’s heightened senses, her perception is surreal. And no, she has not.
Cal replies she won’t ask where Storm is off to, but she would like her to help before she leaves. The pretender halfway killed her back on M-Day. Now she is working all over the world but nothing smells or tastes right. The world feels fake – she needs her damn senses back. She is suffering!
Storm replies tight-lipped that she does not disapprove of Crucible but she does not wish to participate. Why her? Cal reminds her that Apocalypse is gone. Now if you want your powers back, you gotta bring someone to the dance. Strom suggests logan. Callisto admits that, while she likes knives, she does not like getting cut. Storm apologizes as she rises up. Callito calls after her if she remembers how far she was willing to go to become whole.
The island of Mykines, which Magneto recently acquired on Emma Frost’s behalf from the Submariner. Emma and Shaw (in a wheelchair) are visiting the island keeper. Emma explains that they will only inconvenience him once a year. He can live here the rest of the of the year. She asks if he has any requests. He expresses interest in some of the drink from their distillery. She promises to have some Port Genosha delivered to him.
Emma tells Shaw to look – more can be accomplished with a lighter touch. He asks how she managed this. She explains she now owes Magneto a favor, referring to the building he built there.
Bishop and Christian Frost admit they are impressed. Shinobi Shaw remarks that he saw her notes about the changes she and Sebastian are initiating. What of the Red Queen and her court? Emma explains the Red Queen will continue as a pirate and privateer, then muses aloud that Shinobi’s mutant gift is so little like his father’s and much more than their old colleague Leland’s… Shaw glares at her. Emma continues, Leland sacrificed himself against Killrod or something dreadful like that. When his number is drawn by the Five, she looks forward to introducing Shinobi to him…
Jumbo Carnation and Saucier step out of the building. Jumbo asks Emma how many costume changes she wants and Saucier asks how many mouths she expects him to feed. Emma announces this will be their first state dinner. The first of many, she hopes. She warns Saucier that most of their guests will be human. Saucier scoffs about unsophisticated palates. Emma invites everyone inside. Bishop asks, since they are planning a state dinner, shouldn’t Kate be there? Emma explains she asked Kate to deliver invitations to a place where she already had personal business.
In Madripoor Harbor, Kate and Lockheed are looking for the fisher family that helped him. They reach a shack, where two armed men in black threaten the family. She doesn’t know what’s going on but this seems a bit excessive, Kate announces.
One of the men tries to rush her but runs through her as she phases. There’s always a dumb guy, but there isn’t always a smart one, she remarks. She walks up to the second man. Is he smart? He agrees and she orders him to collect his friend and leave.
Kate enters the shack, where the girl is cradling Lockheed. Kate thanks them for helping Lockheed and hands them a satchel of money. She asks what’s going on with the rent-a-cops outside. The father explains the bankers that took over the government are trying to raze Lowtown to build more giant towers. The family and their friends have no idea where they will go. Kate replies, maybe they won’t have to go anywhere…
Krakoa:Another round of Crucible: Silver Samurai introduces Callisto and asks if her kaishakunin is here. She is not, Callisto mumbles. Silver Samurai offers his own blade, but there are two other volunteers. He points to the Fenris siblings in the audience. Callisto mutters if those racists come down here, she’ll end up in the Hole, not Arbor Magna.
Suddenly, lightning strikes close to her, as Storm lands.
In the audience, Andrea Strucker mutters they have been so good. They haven’t killed anyone since Krakoa. Andreas angrily asks Masque what he is looking at. Two *%$§, the Morlock replies.
Callisto thanks Storm and asks if she needs a blade. She has all she needs, Storm replies and tells her to come. Callisto rushes at her, blade drawn. Storm manages to block her strikes, then hits her and has lightning course through Cal’s body, stopping her heart. Callisto dies and Storm cradles her friend and foe.
Soon, the Five resurrect Callisto. She stands at the beach the next morning, meeting this land for the first time with all her senses intact.
Storm thinks to herself that Kate is safe. Their underground railroad is secure and Callisto is sorted. She yearns for change…
Madripoor:Verendi House, the government. The four members plus Zhao discuss another attempt on the mutants when Kate Pryde phases in. Calling her “Kitty,” Emanuel Enduque chides her for trespassing. Kate pours herself a drink. Anything she can do to dissuade them from turning Lowtown into a mini Dubai? She asks. Not a damn thing, Zhao snaps. There were rumors she went to sea and didn’t return. She is so happy they were just rumors. She had to at least try this way, Kate replies as she gulps down her drink. She puts an envelope on the table. This is for them. Be seeing them. She leaves.
Manuel nervously asks if they just got served. Is Emma Frost suing them? Much worse, Zhao replies. It’s a /&%# invitation…

Saving Face
Madripoor Harbor:Professor X and Magneto leave a ship. Xavier asks his friend that he knows he has been helping Emma with her gala. Did she offer any hints as to why she insisted on their presence here this morning? Magneto replies he only knows about this island from their daily X-Force reports.They walk through the port area, where some kids are happy to see them. Xavier is surprised by their popularity, given this city’s government. Magneto doesn’t envy the Verendi children. He wouldn’t want to compete for the hearts and minds of a people with the White Queen or her checkbook.They join the crowd outside a new building. On the stage are Emma, Kate, both Shaws, Bishop, Pyro, Callisto, Iceman, Christian Frost… and Proteus.Emma holds a speech thanking Madripoor for its long friendship and reminding them that the town has been a harbor for refugees, including mutants, for a long time. Today the wheel has turned. Mutantdom has much to offer and they remember their debts.The Verendi member watch the speech on TV, as Emma criticizes Madripoor’s current government and how they have done nothing for the infrastructure. Kade is furious: the mutants have bult a free hospital on the spot where Verendi intended to build the largest tower. They’ve already presold floors! Xhao considers that the mutants have bought properties all over lowtown.In the crowd, Magneto wonders why Proteus is on stage.Emma announces the free hospital and Proteus tears down the banner, revealing the hospital’s name. It’s named after one of mutantdom’s staunchest allies - the Moira MacTaggert Memorial Public Hospital.Pyro puts his hand on the shoulder of Proteus, as he is overcome with tears.Kate whispers a thank you to Emma. This a great help to Madripoor. Emma replies it was worth it to see the look on Erik and Charles’ faces.A little later, Callisto leads the Morlock Masque inside the building. He has no idea why he is here. Does one of the Verendi +&% need their faces arranged? Yes, she deadpans, but they are sending invitations for that. He is here for something better. She orders him to scrub up. He still doesn’t get it until a surgeon asks if he is the mutant plastic surgeon Callisto has spoken about. He is excited to see him work.The confused Masque is led to a room where a young couple with their infant are waiting. The baby has a cleft lip. Masque stammers, he’s never… Charged, Callisto finishes smoothly, telling him to go ahead when he is ready.Masque uses his power to heal the deformity and the overwhelmed parents hug him in gratitude. The doctor announces he will send in the next patient.Masque is still amazed at this use of his power. Cal tells him to have fun, she’s got other work to do.Bishop and Pyro enter a disreputably looking bar and ask for the owner. He warns them he has nothing against their kind, but the mafia that took over this island says muties are bad and can’t be trusted. And they make trouble for people who disagree, so, if they could head back out, that would be grand.Iceman offers him a suitcase full of money for his bar and the land. Pleasure doing business with them, the former barkeeper grins. As he leaves, he tells them there are some guns under the floor, but he figures they won’t be needing them. A patron stealthily sends a message on his phone.And in a high-tech lab, Kade Kilgore swears that the muties just bought another place. They are just doing it to mess with them now! He asks Max Frankenstein if those guys are ready now. He has the location of these Marauders.Max corrects him they are no longer “guys” and, yes, they are ready. He presses a button to release the beings. Rise and shine. Who feels like a little revenge? Time to unleash their new Reavers unto the mutant scum!In the bar, Pyro has poured himself, Iceman and Bishop some drinks and opines that Madripoorian bar owner is probably a more dangerous job than being a Marauder.A Reaver enters and fires from his arm at Iceman. Bishop fires back and feels insulted that Verendi felt one dude with a weird arm would… He realizes his mistake and orders everyone to duck as the entire Reaver group enters.The three Marauders fight. Iceman remarks he is holding back, as he creates wide swathes of ice. The first Reaver with the crew-cut remarks he didn’t hold back the last time. Iceman realizes he knows him. Yeah, he does, comes the angry reply. Iceman made him out at sea. He wasn’t the one that had killed Iceman’s friend but that didn’t stop Iceman from almost killing him. Others were mutilated by Wolverine in Madripoor, others yet by Gorgon in Davos. The Reavers were born around the world and they all have the same thing in common: Mutants maimed them when they failed to kill them and Verendi offered them a way back.Nice story, Iceman snaps back. What did he think was going to happen today? That Iceman would drop to his knees and apologize for taking the arm the man tried to kill him with? Joined by Pyro, he attacks. If he had wanted them dead… they wouldn’t be having this little chat, Pyro points out.Bishop shouts he is unarmed. Don’t shoot! Of course, he gets shot with an energy weapon and absorbs the energy. Suckers, he grins and returns fire.The news report that the Krakoans are involved in the fighting, much to Bishop’s displeasure. He orders them back to the boat, believing this is a set-up.Soon at the UN in New York, Donald Pierce speaks for his adopted country Madripoor, blaming the Krakoans for the damage they caused. He accuses the Marauders of destabilizing Madripoor and impeding their government’s restructuring of the crime-ridden slums. He wishes they could ask the Krakoan ambassador. He looks at the empty seat and mockingly asks who the Krakoan ambassador is this week? He asks for a peacekeeping naval force to make sure the Marauders don’t return and make more trouble.The UN agrees. The Marauder is banned from Madripoor, allowing Verendi to continue liquidating the lowdown slums. Verendi order the Reavers to finish the job…

Fire and Ice
Verendi’s new Reaver clones are attacking Lowtown in an attempt to force the people out, allowing Verendi to gentrify the area.The members of Verendi look on from the balcony of a villa.Max Frankenstein enthuses about how much they will make on the towers they are planning for Lowtown, then announces he has to return to the lab for a new batch of Reavers to be ready at nightfall, just in case.Watching the ocean, Xhao muses that the mutants can only watch what happens to their friends in Lowtown. If they come ashore, they forfeit the recognition they crave at the United Nations.Aboard the ship, Kate Pryde is discussing matters with Iceman, Calisto and Pyro. Callisto asks if she is volunteering to get put in the Hole. Kate insists they can’t turn their back on the people of Lowtown. Pyro and Iceman agree with Kate.Cal retorts that they can save Lowtown and avoid being banned for starting an international war. She kicks the top of a crate, showing some weaponry. She tells them to sneak into town and plant this where no one will find this. She gets the cavalry. If she is wrong, they can still always throw away everything they have worked for. Kate announces she’ll go in low, as she takes off her jacket and her necklace. She could use a distraction.She has heard of the Five, right? Pyro asks. She’s about to see what the Two can do, Iceman boasts. No bodies, she reminds them. Boring! Pyro opines, but she is the boss. She asks him to hold her pendant and asks what the Two can do. Iceman explains if they’d called themselves Fire and Ice, nobody would take them seriously, so it’s the Two.Kate dives into the ocean.Iceman muses that he spent his whole life afraid to cut lose. Pyro admits that he wishes he could say the same, but he left enough bodies in his wake. Being part of this feels like restoration for the old days.They work together creating a distraction: an ice sculpture that shoots pyrotechnics, leaving the other ship baffled. Kate reaches the shore and enters Madripoor via the sewers.Above, many poor people, like the fisher and his daughter who saved Lockheed, are fleeing, fearing that no help will come.In the sewer, Kate plants a Krakoan gate seed.Callisto exits a Krakoan gate in Arizona, disgusted by the bright sun. Meeting, Morlocks! she shouts as she plants a gate flower.Masque shouts back that it’s his day off. Impressive that he’s only been a doctor a couple of days and already has the bourgeoisie shtick down, she deadpans.They are joined by Marrow, Hump, Brute and Bliss. Callisto explains the situation: There is a group of good people in Lowtown Madripoor and now the cops are going to brutalize them and force them out of their homes. She knows they are not mutants, but they are their people. They wouldn’t have turned them away from the tunnels. Are they gonna turn their back on them now?Masque cynically guesses that it’s bad for the fancy mutants to go there… so what? They need some low-profile ones to go to Lowtown? Callisto explains they could wait for the formal complaints to go through the proper channels, but the new hospital he doesn’t seem to hate clocking in at is gonna burn down before the situation is under control.Masque swears, then steps through the gate as the first. Let’s go crack some skulls! he orders. He exits on Kate’s side in the sewers of Madripoor. Very funny, he remarks tartly. Take the Morlock back to the sewer. Real cute, Kitty. Kate, still sick from the waters, tries to correct him then vomits again. The other Morlocks join Masque.In Lowtown, the fisher and his daughter are running but get attacked by some of the new Reavers. They, in turn, get attacked by Masque, Marrow and Hump, who wonders aloud if those Reavers count as human or posthuman. Slicing him apart, he continues it only counts if they go to Krakoa. Bliss, on the other hand, isn’t interested in going to the hole, so she doesn’t quite poison her foe.As Kate swims back to the ship, Pyro tries to make her believe she is being followed by a shark. Iceman helps her up and tells her the plan worked. The chatter is a bunch of sewer monsters have engaged the Reavers. Kate remarks she destroyed the Verendi bulldozer and complains she is going to be sick again. She needs the Healing Gardens or Arbor Magna. Pyro tells her nonsense, she needs a Pyrorita. Yes, she does, Kate agrees and takes the drink. Now ask them where Bishop is, Iceman grins. Where is Bishop? Kate ventures. Iceman replies he has no idea and some of their heavy ordnance is missing.Bishop surprises Max Frankenstein in his lab. Holding a gun to the boy’s head, he orders him to stop creating living weapons. Unimpressed, the boy replies he is just using what the Marauders are serving up. Maybe the mutants should stop turning people into hamburger meat. He reminds Bishop he was on the boat when they were flash-frozen. Bishop is just a sloppy co-creator, sorting his materials - Max is an artist.Bishop throws down his weapon. He asks what the point is of all the pain he is inflicting. Just to stick a thumb in Krakoa’s eye? To make a couple of bucks? To hell with that. He is taking the lab from him!Max smirks that Bishop can only slow him down, not stop him. Besides he has video footage proving Bishop is here in spite of the UN resolution. Bishop replies he found and disabled the cameras fifteen minutes ago, when he planted the explosives.He presses a button. Max becomes nervous. He turns silent and runs. A little later, the lab explodes.Elsewhere, Masque is trying to encourage thinking on one’s life choices by literally rearranging a Reaver’s face. Brute and Hump are tearing another Reaver apart and Bliss chases away another one.Finally, the head Reaver gives the order to fall back. Masque shouts after them that’s what they get for attacking a hospital! The Reaver retorts they had orders to raze everything but the hospital. Masque curses Callisto, however the Lowtowners celebrate the Morlocks as heroes.Later, at the now mutant-owned hotel and Princess bar, Morlocks and Lowtowners celebrate.The fishergirl is grieving the death of her father, who died in the fight. Marrow, tending bar, brusquely tells her at least she had a dad once. She asks the girl for her name. Ai Tran, she replies. Marrow offers her a job tending bar.Masque muses that, ever since the New York winters, he has wanted to live in a hotel. He is going to try to make a go of this, until the Lowtowners have had enough of him and run him out of town. A Lowtowner tells him he needn’t worry about that. They don’t even call the place Lowtown anymore. It’s Mutietown now. Bliss laughs. They broke it, they bought it, she guesses.

Windriders
The Mercury sails the stormy North Atlantic toward Mykines.Inside, at the dinner table, sit Emma, Kate, Storm, Bishop, Iceman, Pyro, Shinobi and Callisto. Storm announces that she will say her goodbyes to all of them tonight, because tomorrow at the gala she will pretend she doesn’t know them. Kate assures her they know she is gonna miss them. Storm agrees. While Emma battles nausea, Pyro tells Storm he’d have thought that he’d quit or get thrown in the Hole before she left. And a bet’s a bet. He hands her a marker. Storm remarks, let’s hope she doesn’t call it in.Pyro claims he rolled with a lot of hard mutants. But he saw Storm get what she wanted and she never had to set anyone on fire to do it, like at the shipbreaking yard in India:Pyro’s narration:The foreman is making the workers toil hard. Storm addresses him. She knows he has a citizen of Krakoa here against her will. Her name is Lash. He pretends not to know what she is talking about. She throws a knife into his board. She orders him to take her to her sister, the one he is mistreating.She sees Lash splitting a ship apart with her psychic energy. The foreman explains that she does the work of a dozen men. Most of them do, Storm replies and orders him to leave them.Storm asks her name. Sunita, she replies, but she can call her Lash. Storm tells her she can stop. Sunita explains they have her family. Not anymore, Storm reveals. Her new mutant family rescued her parents and sister. They are waiting on their boat. Sunita hugs her in gratitude.End of narration:One throwing knife won the whole day and she didn’t even draw blood, Pyro ends his tale.It’s not like it’s her only knife, Kate announces and they start to bet on how many knives Storm carries. Pyro suggests three and Storm laughs at him.Emma complains about the bouncing. Kate knocks against the ceiling and shouts for Lockheed to keep the ship steady.Bishop recalls that Storm got him out of a jam in Angola earlier this year. That’s news to Storm.Bishop’s tale:Within a thunderstorm, he and Pyro face several armed Angolan soldiers. He claims Storm is angry right now and Pyro plays along. With little effort, they get the soldiers to release the prisoners and medicines.End of story:Bishop adds that he thinks she carries seven knives. Interesting, she muses.Iceman goes for ten. He has a Storm story that actually has Storm in it. After the battle of Madripoor, when they were separated from Kate, he and Storm paid a visit to the streets where they found the Hatemonger. Storm beat him up and got him to give up his super villain identity.Callisto chuckles she wondered what happened to the sheety man. As for her favorite Storm story, she’s got a lot of good ones, but only one that matters, referring to her facing Storm in the Crucible. And she’s not guessing how many shivs Ororo has. Iceman protests she has to. Callisto tells them they are making fools of themselves, and leaves before she drinks the whole night through.Kate addresses Emma, who replies she couldn’t fathom a guess without looking inside her mind, and as she learned a long time ago that would not be in anyone’s best interest. A lesson she learned the hard way years ago. A physical rebuke by Storm has an effect not only on the body but on the mind, and even if you might not deserve it, she still offers her hand to raise you up. It is irrelevant how many knives she has, because she doesn’t need one of them. She tells them good night.Pyro asks Kate for her favorite story. She must have seen her fry some cyborg from the inside out. Sure, but all her favorite Storm stories are ones in which Kate ends up crying.Flashback / narration:Right after Kate had discovered the hard way that she could not walk through Krakoan gates, she panicked about not being a mutant. That would be quite ironic considering how much mutant pride she has exuded over the years, Storm told her and as she fixed her nose.Present:Kate announces closest estimation without going over wins and gets a marker from everyone else. She asks Storm how many blades they are talking.Storm shows them that she carries eight blades. It’s been a pleasure being a Marauder with them all.At the top, Emma greets Lockheed, who has been at the steering wheel. She is surprised to find Shaw in his wheelchair outside. He replies that, as a lad, he voraciously read Captain Blood and Treasure Island and the like. This is why he leapt at the chance to turn his business network into an organization that benefited their island nation. Krakoa, the Hellfire Gala, both tremendous accomplishments.Nice of him to acknowledge that, Emma snarks. He should be happy for mutantdom, Shaw continues, but he has not been happy for years… if ever. He just wishes she was here with him… Lourdes Chantel. She deserved better. Emma smiles wistfully. She has not thought about her in years. Shaw continues, now that they are bringing back so many of their fallen, he thinks of her every day. It does not seem right for him to attend a Hellfire Gala without her. Emma agrees, she was a wonderful woman. Such a shame the Sentinels snatched her, before Cerebro went online.Shaw announces that he has an idea, one he will bring to the Council along with the Hellfire Expedition proposal. He hopes she will support both agendas. Their brightest days are at hand!

You’re cordially Invited to the Hellfire Gala (1st story); Out with the Old (2nd story)
1st storyMykines Island, protectorate of Genosha, where the three Royals of the Hellfire Corporation are waiting on a balcony for their guests to arrive. Sitting in his wheelchair, Sebastian Shaw muses that it is remarkable to be at a Hellfire gala once again. It has been a long time. Kate Pryde remarks she was too young for those parties and Emma Frost assures her she hasn’t missed anything. Tonight is the one that will have all the fireworks.
They watch the ships and planes coming in. Their friends and enemies are watching, and so are their neighbors beyond this planet, Emma warns. They have much riding on tonight’s success.
Dressed in simple, black suits X-Force is doing security. Domino informs the White Queen that conditions are green. The Krakoan Gates are now open and active for non-mutant guests.
New York:In front of the Krakoan gate, Tempo welcomes the Avengers and doles out Krakoan flowers as their tickets through the gates for the gala and possible after-parties. Nervously, Captain America steps through the gate first, and he and the others are welcomed by Emma, who announces how glad they are that their friends have come. She knows even their closest allies have questioned what their mutant friends have become. They hope tonight strengthens any frayed bonds.
The Fantastic Four and family arrive with their jet, a disgruntled Franklin Richards among them. Kate waves at him and the two hug. Iron Man also arrives on his own speed and tells the telepath Quentin Quire that it’s the outside of this beautiful head he will be staring at all night. He knows what he’s thinking: “Where did Iron Man get those psi-dampeners?” No, he’s thinking where is his Krakoan flower? Quentin retorts, calling him a boring old *)(/&. And he should have used the gateway. The island is a fragile eco-system. Iron Man retorts that he doesn’t just throw himself into any sort of new unproven portal technology for fun. More conciliatory, he offers to treat them both to a pair of Shirley Temples.
More guests arrive, among them Dr. Doom. Emma thinks to herself that inviting him was a bitter pill, knowing how poorly he’s treated mutants inside his borders.
Next, the Russian and Madripoorian ambassadors arrive with UK ambassador Reuben Brousseau, which gives her pause. Still, more positive guests arrive, among them the AIM Agent who recently helped them and who is warmly greeted by Storm. Next is Dr. Strange, who is pleased to see that for once he is the one underdressed.
Xavier greets Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. After their last meeting, he wasn’t sure he would accept their invitation. Richards replies curtly that the kids wanted to come. Also, he wanted to say this to Xavier’s face. He whispers something into Xavier’s ear, then walks away. Xavier’s smile slips.
Kate hugs Franklin Richards, who admits he thought she’d be disappointed or angry. Never, she assures him. Xavier walks by, noting it’s always nice to see their human friends – especially him. Franklin scowls. Kate reminds him that, being part of the Fantastic Four is plenty cool enough. In fact, it’s probably too cool for him. Everything works out in the end, she promises.
Telepathically, Emma greets everyone, welcoming them to the first of many Hellfire Galas.
In an observation room, Beast complains that Emma is already off script. He never agreed to do this again. Sage snorts. Emma and Jumbo already have a theme for the next one.
On the stage, Emma announces that tonight is about building bridges for the future together, rather than about their obvious differences and rows. A blue-skinned young woman with a string instrument joins her on the stage. Emma introduces her as Rhapsody. She is playing a living, single string instrument grown on the island.
Nothing says mutant supremacy like a string solo, British ambassador Reuben Brousseau mutters in the audience to Delores Ramirez, who prefers seeing her perform over the ones who shoot death rays out of their eyes.
Emma explains that Rhapsody will be accompanied by the telepaths, the Five-in-One and Marvel Girl. The psychic butterflies do not just carry the sound but allow everybody to feel what it is like to play as a master.
Disgusted, Doom swats a butterfly away, while the crowd experiences it. If his Aunt Petunia could hear him play, the Thing announces. Doom calls him a sentimental rube.
The performance over, Rhapsody and the telepaths bow. Ambassador Brousseau calls this a cheap stunt. Delores is astonished. Russian ambassador Natalia Vollock asks Brousseau to join her for a talk with her friends from the Verendi government in Madripoor.
On a balcony outside, Shinobi, Pyro, Bishop, Iceman and Ned the Aim scientist roll dice, until they are discovered by the Thing who angrily asks what they are doing. He’s offended they didn’t ask him if he wanted to roll some bones. It’s gambling time!
Inside, Banshee addresses Emma, now dressed in a short, business style suit and an X-shaped fascinator. Everyone is having fun. She always knew how to throw a soiree. She’s happy he’s accepted her invitation. He got both of them, he replies, but he’s afraid… Emma interrupts: if it’s bad news, please not tonight. She excuses herself. She sees two guests who need her attention.
Captain America and Dr. Doom silently glare at each other and two spectators bet on whether there is going to be a fight.
Emma steps between them and thanks them for honoring them with their presence. If she is interrupting something, do tell. Not at all, Cap replies politely. He was thinking about taking a walk around her party. Is that what this is? Doom scoffs. A party? Addressing Doom by his first name, Cap points out they have both attended their share of state dinners. This one just has more firepower. And style, of course, he adds with a glance at Emma.
Emma turns to Doom stressing there is no reason Latveria cannot enjoy the same friendship with Krakoa that America has. They have much to offer and little to ask. Frankly, his intractability on Krakoa demeans a man who has accomplished so much. Doom replies she says “man” as though he is less, not more. Emma smiles. Mutants are here. They are not going anywhere. He’s acting as though they have announced that they have conquered Earth.
That moment, a Shi’ar envoy bows and announces he’d like to congratulate them on behalf of the Shi’ar Empire. They would like to congratulate mutantdom on conquering their homeplanet. Emma is speechless and Cap looks pained while Doom bursts into laughter. Emma gently corrects the envoy while Doom walks away, still laughing.
Emma speaks under four eyes with the envoy who tells her they have fulfilled her request, though it was not easy. Clearly not knowing what he is talking about, Emma asks him to refresh her memory. They are here, in a ship as requested, he continues. She must come. Emma smiles politely, then telepathically calls her brother Christian for help. She tells the envoy Christian will take care of the gift while informing Christian telepathically she has no idea what he is talking about. She asks him to sort it out. The two men leave.
Shinobi Shaw next steps up. His father asked him to tell Emma that the UN ambassador is at this moment negotiating a trade agreement with… Emma interrupts. A rising tide lifts all boats. If their enemies improve, so do they. She’s the boss, he replies diplomatically and steps away.
In the meantime, Brousseau, Vollock and another ambassador consider when to share their news with the world. Whenever it might be most inconveniently timed to hear, Brousseau decides. Vollock congratulates him. She knows her people in Moscow will be delighted. He would like to introduce her to some like-minded ambassadors. Shaw watches them sharply.
They walk away from Kade Kilgore and Wilhelmina Kensington, two of the young leaders of the anti-mutant organization Verendi. Sounds like the deal is in the bag, a smug Kade addresses Wilhelmina, whose mind seems to be elsewhere. Listlessly, she agrees. She is unaware that she is being watched by the Stepford Cuckoos, who are telepathically arguing. One the one hand, they know Jumbo Carnation is waiting for them. They ‘d promised Emma to wear another set of fabulous costumes. On the other hand, they are interested in Wilhelmina. They know she is hurting and discuss whether they should help her. Finally, they all agree to do it secretly. Telepathically, they make her remember…
Emma telepathically asks her Inner Circle to join her outside Saucier’s kitchen. She’d like to propose a toast before the fireworks and her final wardrobe change…
James Hudson aka Guardian is shooting the breeze with former Alpha Flight teammate Northstar and his husband Kyle Jinadu-Beaubier. He is glad they have remained together. This job can be hell on marriages. Kyle asks about Heather. Northstar gently points out that Mac just hinted at his and Heather’s separation.
Captain America is surprised to see Henry Gyrich among the guests. Same at him, Gyrich smirks. He never could get Cap to attend any of the Latverian functions in the past. That was… Latveria, Henry, Cap points out. This is… Krakoa, Steve, Gyrich replies in the same tone. He’s always marveled at what an optimist he is.
A short distance away, Emma ogles Captain America and tells Kate that the man usually does nothing for her, but the way he looked at her when they were with Doom, she can tell there is something there. In mock dismay, Kate points out he collects Baseball cards. He’s worn the same uniform for a century. He drinks milk! Emma replies that relationships are still fun to fantasize about, but groans a moment later. Having read Rogers’ mind, she found out she reminds him of his mother. She decides she needs another drink.
A little later, Jumbo drags Saucier from his kitchen to Emma’s impromptu gathering, including Shaw, Kate, the rest of the Marauders, Shinobi, Fenris and Callisto. Emma raises her glass, hoping that after this night there will be no need for a black market for their medicines. At this rate, they’ll only have a black market, Shaw mutters. Tonight, they will bring this entire world together, Emma announces.
Later that evening, a few minutes after midnight:The guests leave, many in a state of shock at what they have witnessed.
The Brazilian ambassador tells Emma what they have done will galvanize humanity in a way it never was to confront the danger posed by mutantkind. Emma politely thanks her for coming and hopes to visit Brazil soon.
The heroes seem to be shocked as well. Magik asks her former tutor Dr. Strange about his opinion He answers evasively he doesn’t want to be rude at a party and he needs some time to gather his thoughts.
Cyclops asks Captain America about his thoughts. Cap asks if he knew about this when they met a few days ago. Not for certain, but he had an inkling, is the reply. Cap shakes his hand. They solved one big problem, but he’s worried they might have made an even bigger mess. He just hopes they all know what they are doing, are his ominous last words before taking his leave.

The Morning After
The day after the Hellfire Gala, a news show reports about the mutant takeover of Mars and the shockwaves it sent across the globe. Aerospace stocks have taken a hit, especially those of eccentric industrialist Feilong, who sank his fortune into conquering Mars, only to see his dream dashed overnight.Great Britain no longer recognizes Krakoa, leading to confusion and chaos in Ireland where the price for Krakoan meds has quadrupled.The morning after the gala: Emma Frost is recovering. She sends to the Stepford Cuckoos that they didn’t make it back last night.The Cuckoos return from the afterparty on Mars to Mykines. Once there, they sense something wrong.They find Wilhelmina Kensington sitting on the beach with glazed eyes, holding a dead puffin. One of the Cuckoos announces she thought they’d fixed her. A sister retorts why don’t they ask the dead puffin if she is fixed. Wilhelmina moans she found it like this.At the Quiet Council’s meeting place, Shaw, hale and heathy once more, is first, expecting Emma. He is sorry about the trouble with the United Kingdom. He did try to warn her… A matter for later, she replies. There will be no trial of the White Queen, but she pleads guilty to her first carbs in months. She points out he is up early. That was their agreement, he reminds her. That he could address the physical rebuke after the first Gala… he is glad to be back at full strength. There is quite a bit of clean-up to do… Wouldn’t be a Hellfire Gala without collateral damage, Emma mutters.Xavier enters and telepathically asks her for a word in private. He telepathically informs her that, before they lost the day to the Scarlet Witch situation, a matter arose with Sebastian at Arbor Magna this morning. He had a complicated plan to resurrect a mutant named… Lourdes Chantel, Emma finishes the thought somberly. Xavier continues that he was not familiar with her but was surprised when he looked into the matter. The question is does he tell Sebastian or does she?At the Gala, the Cuckoos looked into Wilhelmina Kensington’s mind and found her radiating anger and despair. They flipped some switches in her to fix her. Something terrible had happened to her and she couldn’t help but pass the damage on - her first victim was her mother, who she threw out of a high-rise window. Later, she turned to torturing animals. And now, fixed, she is feeling the weight of those actions for the first time. They force her to remember how she was raped by her father as a child.The Cuckoos locate the man in London and offer to accompany Wilhelmina there. She asks why they helped her. They reply that their mum taught them to look out for other women when men take advantage.After a Quiet Council meeting, Emma asks Sebastian to stay behind. She repeats his plan to send a Cerebro unit back in time to save his dead fiancée Lourdes Chantel and tells him they can’t do it. Shaw blusters. Emma continues that she never died. Shaw looks at her in disbelief, then sinks down to his knees. Emma continues, noting that he saw what Emma wanted him to see. She corrects herself: What Lourdes wanted him to see. She begins to tell him the real story of what happened at that Hellfire Gala, then they will never speak of it again.Emma’s narration:Shortly before the Gala:Emma’s busy getting dressed. She greets Lourdes, who enters her room and asks Emma for help. She takes off her headdress revealing a black eye. If she’s here for advice, teleport faster, Emma suggests. Lourdes replies she doesn’t trust the humans in the Hellfire Club and she is scared of the Black King. She just wants to get out!Doing her make-up, Emma observes that’s a bit harder than getting in. She suggests Sebastian will be more relaxed after the gala. And she will have a talk with him. She uses her make-up to cover Lourdes’ bruise.Lourdes muses he was so charming when they first met. She has hopes that Sebastian returns at the Gala.Emma glosses over the following events. How she and Leland were attacked by a Sentinel in the Hamptons. Lourdes teleported herself, Shaw and Tessa there, further than she had ever teleported before, and he almost throttled her, but this is where Emma changed the script. She made Leland and Shaw see Lourdes sacrifice herself for Shaw.Emma instructs the real Lourdes to stay here while the others return to the Gala to deal with Ned Buckman and the other humans in the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle.The rest of the evening went as Shaw recalled. They completed the hostile takeover of the Hellfire Club Lourdes had pushed for. Afterward, Emma showers and then meets Lourdes. Emma tells Lourdes she needs to run. If Shaw finds out, he will kill them both. Emma offers to help once more but warns her that Lourdes Chantel has to stay dead. She has a client of sorts who could use her talents. He will give her a new identity in return for a few favors. Lourdes doesn’t want to trade Sebastian in for someone worse. Is this man nice? Emma smiles and assures her he is a very sweet man and very well rounded.And so, Emma brokers a meeting between Lourdes and Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of crime. Fisk greets Lourdes but announces he has no use for common thieves, whereas he would have great need of Frost’s talents. In return for extending Lourdes with an identify and some finances, he asks her to extend the contract Emma already has with him. Emma swears and makes her demands clear. Now who does he need fixed? All in good time, Fisk replies.Present:Emma hints that the price was high, but eventually she worked off her debt as the Kingpin’s fixer, and that is all she will ever say about those days.It’s all a lie, Shaw mutters. He made money playing both sides… then she died, and it made him choose a side. And he won, Emma reminds him. They took over the Hellfire Club, they took over an island, a world and this morning a solar system. She despises him but she doesn’t know if they could have pulled off everything as fast without him. She puts on her sunglasses and walks away, remarking in the end Krakoa is worth almost any sacrifice.

Time for Tempo
Emma Frost lies in her bed, musing over the last few days. It should have been her biggest triumph with the Hellfire Gala and the terraforming of Mars, but then someone had to go and murder the Scarlet Witch at her party. Bad enough, but the Marauder is a total loss after it was attacked and the insurance company isn’t paying, because aliens were the last ones on board. The Krakoan medicines are temporarily on short supply, and she gets the feeling she should stay in bed.Suddenly, she is being psychically contacted by Banshee, who is busy getting beaten by a Reaver. Banshee tears him apart with his sonic scream, then tells Emma a friend in the Irish constabulary called him in on this one.More Reavers attack and he runs as he explains that the Hellfire production problems jacked the price of the medicines way up and the crooks have noticed.He is hiding behind several crates and asks for the Marauders to back him up. While she informs the Marauders, he explains that, fifteen minutes ago, the warehouse that distributes Krakoan meds to Ireland was hit by several criminal gangs, who had the same idea at the same time. With the U.K. suddenly changing its mind on mutants, it’s chaos until things stabilize. A cop noticed and called him. He came in through a Krakoan gate and tried the friendly, sensible approach.The Irish group explains that Shaw is not answering his burner phone. He owes them meds! And why is the Russian mob here? The Russian leader wants to know why the Krakoan meds he paid cash for two months ago haven’t arrived.The Irish group display their weapons. Their leader states the Russians’ supply is still on a boat somewhere; this batch is gonna keep his nana alive!Not giving a damn about his nana, the Russians attack and Sean tries to get out of the way. When an explosion can be heard outside, he figures the Marauders are coming. Instead, it’s the Reavers.One of the Reavers throws a bomb down and warns the other gangs that, if they aren’t gone in thirty seconds, they will be dead!Wide-eyed Sean passes on the intel. A moment later, a burst of dragon fire heralds the arrival of Lockheed, accompanied by Kate Pryde, Emma Frost, Tempo and Jumbo Carnation.What’s this one gonna do? a Reaver grins, critique their clothes? Jumbo is furious, though, at their bombing a warehouse full of medicines. Angrily, he grabs one of the Reavers with apparent superstrength and throws him down, before kicking him.Emma evacuates the humans from the warehouse and the neighborhood, while Tempo slows down the bomb’s countdown. She then warns she has some knowledge in explosives from her MLF days and they won’t be able to defuse this one. Emma asks Sean to give Tempo some room and he uses his sonic scream to tear open a wall and throw out a group of Reavers. The others follow.Tempo tells Kate that she can slow the bomb down to a minute per second left on the timer. Kate tells her to holler when she is out of time. There’s only three seconds left.On the ground, one Reaver tries to burn Jumbo, who stays unhurt thanks to his Teflon skin. Jumbo smirks and attacks. Emma, in the meantime, telepathically coerces the neighbors to evacuate the area but still has time to warn Kate of an attacking Reaver. Emma tells her the bomb is down to one second and asks her to get Tempo.Tempo does her best to slow down the bomb. As a member of the Mutant Liberation Front, she was no stranger to bombing. She wonders if this is the universe’s balancing act.Kate grabs her, instructs her to take a deep breath and lets the explosion phase through them. Kate tells her she should be a Marauder. If it always is like that, she figures no, Tempo replies.Banshee gives chase to the Reaver’s chopper.Emma, in the meantime, has gathered the Irish gangsters. She tells them they are lucky she doesn’t hit them with her lawyer, and adds meds will be here within days. She turns to the bearded guy and tells him she will make sure his nana is sorted, until they get meds. What does he say? Who does she want him to kill? he ventures. A simple ‘thank you’ will suffice, Emma announces.Emma tells the team they need to redouble their security measures around the world. Bishop is in South America and Iceman is guarding their Asian facilities.Emma contacts the Stepford Cuckoos. Seeing they are in London, she reminds them they are no longer welcome in the UK now and asks them to come back soon. They reply they are on their way. They are just helping a friend.Three of them and Wilhelmina Kensington are in the bedroom of an elderly man. The Cuckoos wake him and he demands what Wilhelmina is doing here. Calmly, she asks her father if he ever wondered what happened to Mom. He didn’t have to, he replies. Here to confess?Funny he should ask that, Wilhelmina snaps back. The Cuckoos reveal they know what he did to his daughter and now his neighbors know too. They know the truth and it will follow him for as long as he lives.People from the neighboring apartments stare at them through the window. He begins to protest. Wilhelmina tells him to shush as he used to order her. The Cuckoos tell Wilhelmina goodbye.As they leave and inform the other two Cuckoos, Wilhelmina’s father jumps out of the window. Their sisters warn them to stay out of the Hole.A crowd gathers around the body and one man angrily asks if they are some of those muties. They telepathically order him to punch his teeth out, then head for the secret gate in the old London Hellfire Club.Back in Madripoor, Wilhemina informs Kade Kilgore that she is leaving Verendi. When he refuses to let her go, she kicks him in the balls and walks off. She warns him not to give Verendi his entire life. Being mad at someone else’s success isn’t a life worth living. She is making her own way and suggests he do the same. Don’t contact her again!

Date Night
A spaceship drops out of hyperspace near Mars/Arakko. The pilot is asked to identify himself, and explains the transponder relay burned out in a radiation storm. He is asked about his business. He has business on Earth, is the curt reply. He is ordered to stop at SWORD Station Two near Arakko for inspection. When he refuses, the KEEP fires at him. The pilot swears and lands – barely – at Port Prometheus on Arakko.A guard – Jenus – angrily orders him out. He gets the door slammed in his face. Another guard warns that, if he has come to fight, he has come to die!The pilot, a black man with glowing, golden eyes and a short cape, aims his weapon at him. He is not here to fight or die. He is Eden Rixlo. Tell him: where is the White Queen of mutantdom?Sometime later, Emma Frost’s spaceship, the Mercury, lands at Port Prometheus. Emma, Kate, Bishop, Iceman and Pyro exit. Iceman asks if they have been to this planet he has helped make? Pyro groans, he &*%$ one planet back to life with Magneto, and now he is a cosmic elder!Bishop tells the others he is here on business. He’s got to see the new sheriff about the murder of the old sheriff. This is the third sheriff in four days! Holler if they need him. He leaves.Iceman and Pyro also go looking for some action, leaving Emma and Kate to walk the market.Kate asks why Emma tagged along. Emma reveals she received a message from Commander Brand. An alien has been making trouble and bandying her name about. Anyone they know? Kate asks. Looking at some merchandise, Emma admits it could be several men, but she isn’t getting a hint he knows anyone here in the port.At another stall, Kate asks the price of a blaster. The vendor tells her he doesn’t sell to Earthers.Out of principle, Kate steals some blasters by phasing her hand in from behind the stall. She offers one to Emma, who declines. As they walk toward a bar, Emma believes she has found who they are looking for. There is a mind wearing a formidable psi-blocker in the Red Lagoon and one mind she doesn’t want to read. She refers to Sebastian Shaw, who is nursing a drink at the counter. Rudely, he tells them he came to Arakko to drink alone. Have fun with that, Kate shoots back as they walk on.Emma swears a moment later, as she is addressed by Eden Rixlo sitting at a corner table. Rixlo orders her to send her mousy daughter for a glass of milk and to sit her ass down. What an unpleasant surprise, Emma snarks. She didn’t think their paths would cross again. She knew a blaster would be fun! Kate mutters, while reaching for the one she has stuck in her belt.Rixlo continues that he went looking for Emma on Venus, but it was uninhabited. He thought she’d gotten away with it but then he checked his spam broadcast and heard about a mutant world and asked himself where had had heard this before. Oh yeah! The woman who stole his ship was a mutant!Emma sits down and asks Kate if she would mind. Kate disappears to get some drinks.Rixlo asks if his ship is here. He holds a blaster aimed at her under the table. She replies in the positive. He gets ready to shoot and asks why he can’t remember what they did. A part of their deal, she replies. She doesn’t need him to sign a non-disclosure deal, if there is nothing to remember.Kate returns with the drinks. Rixlo insists he would never have agreed to give her his ship! Emma admits she… borrowed the ship, but he did try to double-cross her, and she only helped herself to what he had previously stolen, right?Rixlo fires his blaster but only hits her glass, as Emma turns to her diamond form. That was a mistake, she states. While he is still surprised, Kate hits him. He fires the blaster at her and, of course, she phases.The Arakki are now interested in a decent fight and begin to wager. Shaw chuckles as he sees “his” queens in trouble.As Kate keeps on hitting Rixlo, Emma remarks they had fun together and she got a lot of work done. Forming a nation on Earth required a discreet jaunt into space. She needed transportation and, of course, a telepath is going to fall in love with a ship that works with telepathic controls.Rixlo throws a gas pellet at Kate. She has to cough and stay solid and he kicks her in the stomach. Emma asks if she may intervene. Just this once, Kate replies, and Emma throws her glass at him.The Arakki at the bar mock the Krakoans’ weakness and Shaw finds himself defending the two women he hates by pointing out there is strength in restraint.Rixlo warns he will blow the whole place up if anybody moves! Unimpressed, Emma tells him there is no need. She will make him whole. He tosses a small globe at her, claiming it is a detonator. Shaw grabs it and presses it into a small cube and absorbs the detonation’s energy. He remarks they can’t have their entire side of the Quiet Council in the resurrection queue at the same time. It would be embarrassing. Emma flashes him a genuine smile and thanks him.Shaw turns to Rixlo and remarks he underestimated those two once too. Whatever their quarrel, it’s over, especially if he only wants money, because they have lots of that. How big a payoff are they talking? Rixlo asks.A little later, the group as well as the rest of the Marauders are on the Keep. They are welcomed by Peepers, who carries a small case. Emma greets him warmly and invites him to Hellfire Bay. Peepers hands the case to Pyro, who opens it and shows the contents – mysterium - to Rixlo. Is he happy? he asks. Rixlo is satisfied with the payment and asks them to drop him off on their way home.Soon they are all having dinner on the Mercury. Everyone is relaxed. Emma promises to drop him off. Rixlo praises the whiskey, causing Shaw to begin his spiel about possibly selling Krakoan whiskey off-world.Rixlo gets up. While he didn’t love how they got into this mess, he does love how they got out. He moves toward a door and thanks them for making him rich. He’d really miss her, but they put him in a position where he can keep both the mysterium and the ship! The door closes with him on the other side and suddenly the entire room is spaced.At the same time as the Marauders are beginning to die in space, a woman stands outside the X-Men’s treehouse, a mutant who has spent years among the humans.A derelict-looking young man throws a Molotov cocktail at the treehouse. The woman teleports to his side, grabs it and chides him for playing with fire. She’s one of them! he accuses her. As she dowses the flame, she replies she is Lourdes Chantel and proud to be a mutant, and he should be ashamed!

Night of the Comet
Eden Rixlo has just tricked the Marauders and ejected them into space, leaving them to die. Within seconds, Iceman catches his teammates in a cocoon of ice, trapping as much breathable air as possible and spinning them to get them some gravity. Kate slaps Emma to wake her up and orders her to call for help, but she cannot reach anybody. Iceman warns he couldn’t catch much breathable air. Emma turns to diamond, so she doesn’t need to breathe. Pyro would give them some heat but that would use up the oxygen faster. Some choice, suffocate or freeze to death! Shaw mutters grimly.Kate has an idea: She grabs her blaster. Misreading her, Pyro agrees, better to go fast than fade away. She needs water, she replies. Pyro and Lockheed melt some ice. Kate fires electricity at the water which creates oxygen. As long as they have more air, they can turn the heat on, she explains. Unfortunately, they are still dead in the water.Maybe not, Bishop figures and hits Shaw, who returns the blow, each one of them creating and gathering more kinetic energy.Emma senses the Mercury still nearby. Kate tells her to pinpoint the location of the ship. She only needs to get her close.Bishop and Shaw create more kinetic energy by hitting each other, while Iceman creates a wall, staying on the side of the two men. Emma telepathically helps Bishop plot a course for the Mercury.When Bishop has gathered enough energy and Emma has shown him where to aim, he releases the energy in an energy blast. Iceman grabs Shaw and Bishop, gets them to the other side and closes the wall.The iceball is close to crumbling. Maybe she should stop going to space, Kate whispers. Iceman strengthens the hull. Emma announces they are getting closer to the Mercury, then that they are overtaking it. Kate asks her to say when and, on Emma’s mark, she jumps through the wall and toward the Mercury. She phases into the ship.In the Mercury, Rixlo is celebrating with music and a bottle of Krakoan whiskey. He won’t miss the mutants, but he will miss their booze!Kate phases through the ceiling and, given her momentum, drops through the floor. Rixlo doesn’t notice. She lands hard on the ground on a floor below. Emma sends “a landing you can walk away from…” Kate is not amused. Emma warns her not to pass out. She won’t - she is too angry, Kate replies. She’s gonna kill that guy!A floor above, Rixlo is busy plotting a new course. Kate phases up behind him, hits him in the back and grabs the bottle. How in hell?! he exclaims. Cheerfully, she announces that, if his space kidneys are like human ones, he’s gonna be pissing blood for a while. She was trained to fight with a ninja. That won’t mean anything to him, but she tells men this to get them to reconsider wanting to fight her.She pours down some whiskey as he tries to hit her without success. The momentum sends him to the ground. All right, they’ll do this the hard way, Kate sighs and smashes the bottle on his head.He grins and orders for the ship to open another airlock. Before he can finish the order, she takes him into a headlock. As they wrestle, Emma sends if Kate removes his psi-blocker, she can bring this to an end. She warns Kate not to underestimate him and adds she has dulled Kate’s pain receptors.Kate thanks her and tells Rixlo this is his last chance. He remains stubborn and she kicks his ass. He gets it, Rixlo groans, ninjas can fight! He draws a knife, which of course isn’t much use against Kate’s phasing power. Kate grabs and removes the psi-blocker on his head, allowing Emma to take over Rixlo and the ship, which he steers toward the rest of the group.Since Emma has to concentrate on Rixlo, though, she no longer numbs Kate’s pain, including the headache she got from headbutting Rixlo.Soon the others are aboard. Let’s not do this again, Iceman suggests. Bishop announces that he is starting a war college. They are gonna teach this one at it. Nice job, Marauders!To Kate’s displeasure, Rixlo’s only punishment is being stranded on Arakko, with all the mysterium. Emma stresses he gets the money, they keep the ship and, if he comes at them again, she will not stop Katherine from killing him.  He knows when he is beaten but insists she couldn’t win in a fair fight. Emma laughs: there are no fair fights when you face the Marauders!

Many Happy Returns
Manhattan:A horse carriage stops before the Manhattan Hellfire Club and three individuals get out: Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost and Harry Leland.Well, that was a time to remember, Leland announces. Shaw welcomes him back. It’s good to be back, Leland agrees, although his travels are a blur. It is nice to see that Shaw and Emma have buried the hatchet. Their business plans have become more aligned recently, Shaw answers evasively, as they walk to the entrance. Emma continues that is why they asked Harry to come home. They need him.They have lunch and Harry wants to hear more about their new business. Over drinks, Emma suggests.Sitting at a fireside and sharing some drinks, Emma asks if Harry has heard about Krakoa. No, he replies, then adds maybe. Forgive him, he has had some dark thoughts of late, and he doesn’t sleep well. He’s had vivid nightmares of dying at the hands of a Sentinel like their friend Chantel.He sips some whiskey, then studies it. He is not familiar with this brand. Shaw smiles that they have entered the distillery business. They call it Port Genosha. Well done, Leland replies politely and demands to know what they are hiding from him. Now or never, Emma sends to Shaw, who replies that he is not ready.Emma walks toward a door while explaining that Harry’s dreams are memories. He suffered a heart attack fighting that dreadful robot while saving them all from certain doom.How long was he in hospital? Leland asks. It is more complicated than that. She throws open the doors. Outside is a glowing Krakoan gate. Mutant science has preserved his life. It will be easier to show him. That is a doorway. They have much to discuss… if he is willing to walk into the future.On the other side of the gate, they see the idyllic beach of Krakoa, mutants frolicking on the beach and in the air.Is that real? Harry wonders. Emma explains he had a panic attack at Arbor Magna, so they decided to take it slow with him. The last several days are implanted memories of his favorite haunts in Manhattan. He never left Krakoa.So he was dead? Harry asks. Please show him everything! He is ready. Emma transfers all necessary data into his brain.Harry begins to laugh and cry with joy. It is a miracle! he proclaims. All of them together! Somewhat restored, he announces he doesn’t believe they have changed that much. So what is the bad news?Shaw replies they’d like him to be Krakoa’s envoy to the United Nations. Is that all? he asks surprised. No, Emma replies grimly. Their enemies gather and Nimrod is back online.In the meantime, the Mercury is flying back to Madripoor steered by Captain Kate. Also aboard are Callisto, Iceman, Lockheed and Christian Frost who while feeding Lockheed complains he can’t believe he is returning to Madripoor. He barely survived that place! Kate replies, they are going back, because that’s what you do when you get your boat blown up under you.Calisto impatiently interjects, let’s just get that whiskey to their human partners and hit the casinos and fight clubs!Suddenly, she warns them something big is coming this way. They hear a loud nose and suddenly find themselves facing an angry huge dragon – namely the alien dragon Fin Fang Foom. The dragon announces he comes from a tournament beyond the stars, where he smashed all who dared stand in his way, and now he’s come to Midgard with his insatiable thirst. He is celebrating a great victory and just drank the mountaintop distillery in Taiwan dry, and as he was flying toward Chichibu the scent of their cargo hit the wind. He’s not smelled spirits like this one before!He grabs one of the barrels, downs the whiskey and burps. Lockheed is ready to fight but Callisto holds him back. The booze ain’t worth dying over! Abandon ship, she orders.Kate jokes that the marketing guy can make lemonade from this: Port Genosha - the preferred whiskey of big ass dragons!Iceman isn’t having it though. He orders the dragon to fly off and become someone else’s problem. Unimpressed, the dragon warns him to run or he will have his spirits on ice!Fin Fang Foom bites down to where Iceman stood a moment ago. Iceman attacks him on an iceslide, but the dragon bites down on him, to the horror of the others.Lockheed flies up to attack. While Fin Fang Foom’s attention is on him, Iceman reforms in a giant form behind him. Much to the dragon’s surprise, the giant Iceman hits him. The dragon retaliates by breathing fire at him.Iceman melts and then reforms as a giant, who fires icespikes at him and gives him a final warning. Turning away, Fin Fang Foom curses him and claims this was because the tournament tired him. Unimpressed, Iceman throws him a casket for the road and warns him not to disrespect his omega level ass again.He tells the others he will stick in this form for a bit and meet them on Krakoa.On Krakoa, having downed some drinks, Leland accuses Shaw of deliberately keeping him back in the resurrection queue. Also drunk, Shaw scoffs they had millions of mutants to resurrect. Leland uses his power to increase Shaw’s mass, making a hole open beneath him. Shaw warns him he could hurt Krakoa. Harry loses his concentration and stumbles after him. Both of them break out into laughter but wonder how they will get out of the hole.An hour later, they enter the Black Keep, making some small talk. Shaw wants to discuss something important. Said matter is already present - it is Shinobi threatening them dramatically with a katana. Shaw orders him to put the sword down, before Harry causes another sinkhole. He then reveals that Shinobi’s’ mother was… a friend to both Harry and him. She wrote to them asking for money, saying the baby belonged to one of them. He thought he was doing the right thing taking Shinobi in, but what does he know of fatherhood? It was disastrous for both of them, especially Shinobi. He tells Harry to meet his bastard, Shinobi.Harry happily walks toward the flabbergasted Shinobi and hugs him. Shinobi has no idea what Harry is doing and orders him to stop. Shaw discreetly leaves.Later, at the United Nations, New York:British ambassador Ruben Brousseau again criticizes Krakoa, pointing out they do not even have an envoy at the UN. That’s the cue for Leland to enter. He announces he looks forward to fostering peace and friendship between the nations of man and Kakoa. His name is Harry Leland, and he shall be of service to them all!Washington Square:A darkhaired woman walks toward the Krakoan Gate.Some young men stop her. One gets in her face and asks if she is one of them mutants. She is sorry about his back, she replies. He has no idea what she means. She then teleports behind him and kicks him in the back. As a parting shot, Lourdes Chantel warns them if any of them are seen at a Krakoan Gate again, they will all need ambulances. The she steps through the gate.
