untitled
A snowy wilderness in CanadaMagik, Kitty Pryde, Lockheed and the original X-Men teleport in. The newcomers look around confused. What is he missing? Beast asks. Where are they? Kitty agrees. Is the school invisible? Iceman wonders. Magik explains this is the original Weapon X facility. They… re-appropriated it. What is Weapon X? Beast asks.
Their hosts are already waiting. Welcome to the new Xavier School! Cyclops greets them and the original Angel shouts happily they’ve finally come to their senses. Cyclops’ people lead them inside. The last place on Earth Wolverine would ever look for them, Kitty realizes. Not bad, right? Cyclops asks. That’s why he is Scott Summers, Kitty agrees and punches him playfully on the arm.
Beast repeats his question. Cyclops explains that years ago this facility was used for horrible medical experiments that caused the deaths of dozens. One of the only survivors was their “friend,” Wolverine. That’s where he got his shiny claws.
The young X-Men look horrified, though Iceman jokes weakly that he hopes they got a good deal on the rent. Young Cyclops asks how this is going to work exactly. His older counterpart tells his students to show the newcomers their living quarters. Let’s make them all feel at home.
They split up, with Goldballs leading Cyclops, Triage leading Beast and Eva Bell aka Tempus leading Iceman, who tells her he loves her Australian accent. She shows him her new room. It looks like a renovated prison cell, he complains. That’s because it’s a renovated prison cell, she agrees. But some posters, some flowers… It’ll look like he’s a prisoner with connections, he suggests. Exactly, she agrees.
He throws down on his new bed, apologizing. He’s not usually this high-strung. He just spent most of the week dealing with the fact that he grows up to be some sort of ice wizard or he grows up to be some kind of ice-hulk. And he’s not even sure how either of these could possibly happen. Or if knowing that he could end up as either one of these things makes it so he won’t. He knows they came here to the present to see the legacy of the X-Men, and they are staying here to solidify it, but everybody is trying to keep this “you don’t’ want to know too much about your future” business going. But they already know too much about their future. So he’s not exactly sure what difference it would make if they knew the rest. He can’t get the image of that ice-hulk out of his head.
He looks up to see Eva has gone. Somewhat insulted, he falls asleep.
The three Stepford Cuckoos have led Jean Grey to her room. “Here’s your castle, your highness,” Celeste tells her sarcastically, causing Irma to admonish her for her rudeness. What hasshe done to Celeste exactly, Jean asks. Let’s figure this out. Pointing her finger at Jean, Celeste snaps that there is nothing to figure out. She just doesn’t like some people. Jean is one of these people. The two girls glare at each other. Jean orders her to stay out of her head. She may not be the Jean Grey that Celeste remembers but she knows who she is and what she can do. And between the two of them… she thinks she is the only one who can say that.
Phoebe is impressed by the threat. Celeste shouts at Jean she doesn’t belong here. “Whatever, Emma Frost test tube baby fail,” Jean snaps and storms off. Ouch, Phoebe comments. It was a solid burn, she admits. Celeste points out it applied to all of them. But she was talking to Celeste, Irma rebuts and asks what her problem with Jean is. She thinks she‘d make a good redhead, Phoebe muses. Celeste groans.
Beast is in the lab, examining the comm. system while Benjamin Deeds watches an old Dazzler video. Magneto joins them, explaining he put together the communication system. If Henry has any questions… It’s nice, Hank replies politely. It’s a clean signal. It can’t be traced here, Magneto continues. Does he mind if-- Henry begins. Be his guest, Magneto replies. It’s not like he didn’t do a good job, Hank babbles. It’s cute. Nice and cute. Magneto stares at him. The thing is, Beast continues, it was not so long ago he was trying to kill them in a murderous rage. Yes, Magneto replies curtly. So it’s very strange to be standing here, talking to him like this. He understood the unspoken subtext of the conversation, Magneto remarks wryly.
He leaves as Jean enters looking for Henry. She complains about the Stepford Sisters. And that they have it in for her. She’s not sure why, because she can’t read their minds, because they are part of a psychic hive mind and she— She stops. He is mad at her, she states.
Focusing on the comm.-system, he asks her to stay out of his mind. She’s not in his mind, she replies. This is hardly subtle. He wants to do his work, he tells her. He is mad at her, she repeats. What was that kiss about? he demands. Then those fake future X-Men showed up and she went off with Summers! Angrily, she reminds him she asked him to come with her first. So he says ‘no’ and she goes off with him? he demands.
She told him something was up with those future X-Men and he didn’t want to hear! They needed to go! And she was right! Not about going with Scott. But they were bad guys. It was the two of them from the future, he points out. It was hardly a fun look in the mirror! she snaps. She’s saying she asked him to come with her first. He blew her off, but she was right to go!
With him, he repeats stubbornly. Why is he making this about that? she shouts, her powers flaring. Why can’t they just—Somebody clears his throat. It’s young Cyclops, who informs them Professor K wants them outside. As he turns around and leaves, Jean and Hank look after him in silence.
Kitty and Illyana are waiting outside but none of the others are coming. Cyclops explains that Iceman and Angel are asleep. Illyana suggests Kitty let them sleep. They’ve been through a lot. Kitty sighs and, calling Scott “Slim,” suggests he do the same. He asks her not to call him that, as he leaves.
Illyana tells Kitty she made the right choice bringing them here. She’s sorry she and her boyfriend broke— Let’s not call him that. Ever! Kitty interrupts. He’s just another member of the Kitty Pryde low self-esteem mistake parade. Illyana looks down grimly and Kitty notices her faux pas immediately. She doesn’t include her brother on the list, she assures llyana. She knows, is the reply. Has Kitty talked to her brother? No, she is told. Illyan hopes he’s okay. She’s sure he is, Kitty figures. Illyana explains all that went on recently reminded her she really made a mess of things with him. She did and said some terrible things. He’ll come around, Kitty tries to comfort her. Illyana doesn’t think so. She misses him a lot, she admits.
Illyana suddenly tries to hug Kitty. Startled, Kitty phases and Illyana lands in the snow. Kitty apologizes. She didn’t expect her to hug her. She is not a hugger. She holds her, apologizing. Illyana didn’t realize she was going to do this either. It’s nice that they get to hang out again, Kitty admits. And whine about her brother, Illyana adds. Just like old times, Kitty laughs. Except for everything else.
24 hours later the original X–Men have finally gathered. Kitty begins a speech but Bobby interrupts, announcing he has a question. Kitty orders him to zip it for a whole minute and she’ll give him a cookie. He knew she was going to take it out on him, he complains. He’s sorry his older self broke up with her, but that’s no reason to-- First of all she broke up with him, Kitty snaps. He finds that very hard to believe, Bobby mutters.
Kitty tells him she likes him. She’s not taking anything out on anybody. But he talks a lot. He gets nervous and talks a lot. And she needs him to listen. If she can teach him anything, sometimes it’s better to lean back and listen. Like his good friend Henry McCoy. That’s why when people think of him they think of how smart he is. Because he listens. Hank pipes up. He’s sorry. He wasn’t listening.
Illyana grins. Kitty really has her work cut out for her. Just do it, Kitty sighs. Illyana raises her Soulsword and casts a spell and the X-Men suddenly find they are wearing new individualized uniforms, each with its own color scheme. Did they need new uniforms? Jean asks skeptically. They desperately needed new uniforms Kitty retorts. Cosmetically and hygienically.
Bobby and Warren are pleased with their new looks. Hank would like to know how Illyana was able to conjure these uniforms out of thin air. Magic, is the reply. Hank tries to clarify the question until he realizes that she really does mean magic.
So what now? he asks. They train their tuchases off, Kitty orders. They have all seen the future, what may become of them. And, although she spent most of the last couple of days thinking that all this time travel mishegas was about the worst thing that could have ever happened to them, she has since decided it was the best thing that could have happened to them. Now they know.
On top of that, it seems they are stuck with each other for a while. They can’t go home to their time, which means they make the most of what’s happening right here, right now. As a team. As individuals. As mutants. As people of this world. They are going to train to make the world better than it was yesterday. They are going to teach people who hate them that they are wrong through example. They are going to reach out and help any mutant or human that needs them. And they are going to do it smart. But they are going to make mistakes and they are going to learn from them. Any questions?
What was the middle part? Bobby asks. Kitty glares. Okay, he would have broken up with himself too, he admits. A moment later, someone screams.
A few minutes before, while Kitty was giving her speech, Jean overheard Scott thinking how he didn’t understand Jean. They are destined to be together. They get married. They end up together. You don’t get more together than married. Why is she fighting this? Why can’t she see he is the best thing for her? Hank doesn’t understand her.
At the same time, Hank wonders what kind of game Jean is playing. She’ll only be with him if he agrees with everything she says? And if he doesn’t she runs right back to Scott.
They get married! Scott thinks. They have kids. Well, a kid, he thinks.
He’s smart, Hank thinks. He’s attentive. He did this to himself. He brought them here to start this cycle.
He could just leave, Scott figures.
Hank thinks there are more girls on the team now.
Scott muses the Stepford sisters are all kind of cute…
Jean finally shouts out in frustration and unwillingly levitates herself. Helpless, she asks what to do now. Kitty tells her to gently bring herself down. As if she were levitating someone else. Jean’s head goes down and she screams.
Angel flies to her rescue. The two smile at each other. Scott and Hank glare, then look at each other, frustrated.
Suddenly, there is an alert. Hank explains he created a portable Cerebro device linked to the one Magneto built. This is the emergency alert alarm. Magneto coded this to monitor police radios in the vicinity of mutant readings. There is a big problem in Florida. Playtime is over, Kitty announces. They are going to see something else they are probably not ready for…

untitled
Nighttime in Miami:A young woman in shoddy clothing, hood drawn over her face, walks the streets. She notices someone following and begins to run, only to run right into the men giving chase. The armed men – Purifiers – tell her it’s not her fault. Homo sapiens are the only true work of God. Mutant is the abomination of the devil. She is not a mutant! the girls screams. God doesn’t want mutant, the speaker continues. He gave the Garden of Eden to humans! This is judgment day!
Before they can fire, their weapons’ energy crackles and Magik teleports in Kitty Pryde and the original X-Men. Kitty orders the Purifiers away from the girl. Jean and Scott wonder what’s going on and who these guys are. The armed men recognize them as Scott Summers and the X-Men. God delivered them unto them! His will be done!
Kitty jumps in front of the kids and phases them as the weapons are fired. Who’s Will? Iceman asks. What is he missing? God, Kitty tells him annoyed. They think they speak for God. Let’s see what she thinks about this then, Jean suggests and telekinetically takes one gun apart. Oh, they are wackos! Iceman realize.
Back to back, both Cyclops orders. Angel, take to the sky! What else is he going to do, Angel points out wryly!
Abomination! one of the men shouts and fires at Magik. The other X-Men tell Kitty they can handle this. She should go after the girl. Jean will look after Magik.
Beast criticizes their interpretation of Scripture until being hit himself. When Jean sees that she becomes angry. “How dare you?” she shouts and lashes out with her telekinesis. God did not create mutants! One of them shouts and aims his gun at Cyclops. Sure he did, Scott quips and blasts him. See?
One of the Purifiers chases the girl who started it all. Why do they think she is a mutant? she pleads.
Kitty phases through the man from behind, making his armor malfunction. She is welcome, she tells the girl, then recognizes her as Laura Kinney aka X-23. Laura runs again despite Kitty’s reassurances. What’s the matter with her? Kitty wonders.
Somewhat recovered, Illyana promises the men to show them the devil as she attacks with her Soulsword.
Angel grabs one of the men, flies upward with him and remarks here that is what he doesn’t understand. They think that mutants are some abomination of nature, of God. He kind of sees where they could come to that conclusion. But when someone like him shows up who looks so very much like an actual angel here on Earth… With the wings, and flying and the heavenly good looks…That doesn’t do anything to rattle their convictions?
He is an abomination! the man sputters. Now he’s just hurting his feelings! Angel announces and drops him from up high. Iceman catches him on an iceslide.
Cyclops asks one man who they are. Who is their leader? The man rattles down religious convictions. Marvel Girl announces she’s got this. She reads his mind and sees the atrocities they have committed.
The police arrive. Time to go, Magik orders. They don’t run, Cyclops replies. They are the good guys. The police will need a statement. He thinks they want a statement? Illyana mocks. From him?
On the ground! the cops orders. Don’t even think about it, mutants! Hands on your head and faces to the ground!
Not far away, Kitty still chases a panicked Laura and wrestles her to the ground. She asks if she is okay. Does she not recognize her? Laura jumps up and Kitty phases, then grabs her by the hood to throw her down again. A drunk man asks if he can help them with anything. Kitty glares. A police car stops, the cop believing they are drunk.
Some distance away, Cyclops tries to calmly reason with the cops, explaining the situation. Angrily, the cops order them on the ground, Cyclops continues his explanation. Beast points out this isn't going the way he thinks it’s going to go. They are not thinking happy thoughts, Jean agrees. On the ground! the cop shouts. They have a 519! But they saved--Scott protests. Believing them to be hostile, the cop fires.
That moment, they are teleported back to the school. They are welcome, Magik tells them coolly. When she tells them it’s time to go, it’s time to go. Not because she likes the sound of her voice but because she knew all too well what was going to happen. She knows Scott’s heart is in the right place but to them they are masked men engaged in violence on their streets. They will arrest them. They will gun them down if they think for a second they are in danger. They are gun-happy in this world of superpowers and mutants and they are scared of them, she points at Cyclops. She knows that things might have been different where they came from.
No, that was about what it was like, Iceman muses. Somebody threw a rock at his head, Hank recalls. But they didn’t religiously persecute them, Angel admits. That’s a first. Jean tells them not to joke about this. They don’t know how deep it goes with them. They don’t know how many they murdered in the name of God. They have never faced anything like this before. What about Kitty and that poor girl? Scott asks.
In Florida, Kitty tries to explain the situation and introduces herself. She explains she is an associate of Captain America. Laura struggles to get away. Kitty tackles her and phases them through the ground into the sewers.
Kitty offers help and reaches out, inadvertently pulling down Laura’s hoodie. She doesn’t touch her! a bald Laura screams, extending her claws. “You don’t touch me!"

X-23 awakes to bright lights and faces leaning over her. One of them asks if she can hear them and assures her she needn’t panic. She is with friends. Can she hear them? Ask her if she will marry him, Iceman interrupts Cyclops. Scott repeats his question.
Her hair growing back before their eyes, Laura sits up and unsheathes her claws. Cyclops again tries to tell her who she is and that she is among friends. She knows exactly who she is and where she is, she snaps.
Kitty Pryde tells her she must know who they are then. So even though this usually has the opposite effect on her: she needs to calm down. Jean offers to make her go to sleep, but Kitty forbids it. Laura is one of them. There is no need for any kind of manipulation. She’s clearly been through enough. Jean informs them Laura doesn’t believe they are who they say they are.
Cyclops interrupts Kitty, introduces himself to Laura and asks how she is. He asks if she remembers how she ended up in Florida. Jean warns them she doesn’t and she’s going to run.
Laura glares and then jumps off and runs. Jean tells them she knows this place is Weapon X, where they made Wolverine into Wolverine. She figured that out fast. They make Wolverines on purpose? Bobby marvels and Kitty realizes this might not have been the smartest place to take a clone of Wolverine.
Cyclops decides to go talk to her. Bobby still can’t get over the fact they made Wolverine. And he can’t get over the fact that, after they saw what Wolverine turned out like they thought it might be a good idea to clone him into a teenage girl. A girl Scott Summers quite fancies, Jean informs them. Kitty shudders.
X-23 has reached the outside but Cyclops took a shortcut and emerges in front of her. It’s kind of beautiful, he tells her. She should see it in the daytime. They are in Canada, by the way. But she probably knows more about this than he does.
She asks who he is. He tells her. Who is he really? she insists. He is really Cyclops and would appreciate it if she didn’t do anything that will make him bleed. Laura sniffs him and realizes it is him. Why are they so young? He explains the original X-Men time-traveled here. Why would they do that? she asks. Here sucks. They figured maybe they’d help make it not suck anymore. And anyway they are stuck here now. For the foreseeable future.
Where’s the other older him? Laura asks. Around, he tells her. That’s weird, Laura mutters. He agrees. What happened to her? She looks away and keeps silent. Scott continues a few hours ago she was bald and sickly and scared and being chased by religions anti-mutant zealots. She didn’t recognize Professor Kitty.
Laura snaps she feel this has to be a trick. What does he want from her? What does everybody want from her? She’s a mutant, Scott replies. She’s a friend of their friend. They want to help her.
That was the actual Jean Grey, she realizes. Wow. What happened? he repeats.
Dear God! Jean exclaims some distance away. She can see what happened to Laura. It’s awful!
Laura tells Scott she is not a whiner. But the last year of her life has been nothing but a raging sea of lies, torture and disappointment. That’s all she wants to say about this.
Jean whispers Laura was kidnapped and forced to— Kitty warns her this is one mind she shouldn’t read. Get out of there! she orders when Jean hesitates. Laura will tell them when she’s ready. But-- Jean begins. Kitty raises her finger reprovingly and Jean complies.
Why were those crazy people harassing her? Scott asks. Because that’s what crazy people do, X-23 retorts. Why her specifically? he clarifies. She thinks it’s just her famous luck being at the wrong place at the wrong time. They hate mutants. And they could smell it on her. She can heal and she was healing from as close to death as she can ever hope to be. She was healing herself from almost nothing. That’s why she was having trouble seeing them all for what they were. She was out of her head.
Why are they living in Weapon X? she demands. They were told it was the last place anyone would look for them. Who told them that? Laura asks. Him, Scott replies.
Laura decides she’d like to take her anger out on those Purifiers. Does she know where to find them? he asks. Get her back to where they found her. She can track them.
She awkwardly thanks him. They’ve all been there, he points out. He doesn’t know what he would have done if Charles Xavier hadn’t grabbed him out of that fire when he did. They stand there awkwardly. She looks like she is about to cry. Scott steps closer and hugs her. Laura protests. She doesn’t do hugs. Especially not with an audience.
Ocala, Florida, nighttime at an abandoned theme park:The Purifiers’ leader lectures his people. People focus on their quest to end mutants like it’s cleansing, like they hate them for being different. They don’t hate them. They pity them. They would put them down because of pity. But it only matters that they are a danger to humans. His father saw it coming. He told the world this was coming. They are not human! He told him every day! They are abomination!
But they all doubt. He found himself full of doubt. You see Scott Summers dressed like the devil on the cover of magazines, toasted like he is God… treated lie a rockstar… A hero. And he wonders: is it him? Does he just not see the world for what it is? Has his father, the great William Stryker, brainwashed him into feeling this way?
He said to God: give him a sign. Show him why the mutants are dangerous. And just like God spoke to Moses, God spoke to him. He delivered unto him the original X-Men. For they are his burning bush. The original X-Men, who last night felled many of their Purifier brothers, are in the present? What are they doing here? That means they are breaking rules of time and space as if those rules don’t apply to them!
In the meantime, the X-Men led by X-23 (who has been given her own tan and brown version of their uniforms) infiltrate the place.
Stryker continues you don’t have to be a scientist to realize if the past X-Men are here that endangers their future, the future of their children.
Angel takes out a guard.
They could very well cease to exist because of the X-Men’s selfish actions. Just because they have the power to do so, doesn’t mean they should be allowed to do it. There are consequences. A human being would understand that. A child of God would understand that. He prayed to God for a sign that mutants must be destroyed and he brought the original X-Men to them. He gave them a—
Kitty warns the X-Men the Purifiers know they are here as she takes out the electricity. As they practiced! Everybody follow Laura, but everyone listen to Scott.
Stryker orders the Purifiers to suit up.
Jean takes over Stryker’s mind and has him suggest they all take off their clothes. God told him he wants them all to be naked.
X-Men, go get them, Jean orders and Cyclops sends off an optic blast at them as the X-Men attack. The X-Men seem to get the upper hand. Stryker concentrates. Jean shouts a warning as Stryker glows with energy which bursts forth and hits all the X-Men. They fall down unconscious. God’s will be done, he smiles.

Years ago:A crowded televised service by Reverend William Stryker:“And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads,” he quotes from the Book of Revelation. “With ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its head. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like a bear’s. And its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed. And the whole world marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon for having given his authority to the beast. And they worshipped the beast, saying who is like the beast? And who can fight against it? And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words.”
Who do they think the mutants are? he asks his congregation. They are the beast! They are the blasphemous! And humans will not stand idly by and let the beast win! The mutant is an abomination and it will not have its day!
After the service, a man gushes that was wonderful. Are they here? Stryker asks. Another man introduces him to Dr. Lyle Getz from Advanced Ideas Mechanics. Quite a show business machine, he built himself Getz remarks. His boy is ill, Stryker states coolly. Okay, no small talk, Getz realizes. They have gone over his son’s medical files. Stryker admits he is of two minds on this. God created man. His will be done. God also created science, Getz points out. Stryker appreciates that as well. He created their capacity to help themselves, Getz continues. He takes an aspirin when he has a headache. What Stryker wants from them is no different.
Stryker confides God wants him to prepare for the mutant Judgment Day. God came to him and spoke of this. That this day would come where he could prepare his boy for the fight ahead of him. He wants the boy to be prepared.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if he turned out to be a mutant? Getz suggests. Stryker stares at him coldly. They can save his son and create within him the power to fight for his cause, Getz announces. Now… there is the ugly topic of remuneration. Whatever it takes, Stryker replies. His kind of negotiation, Getz laughs. Stryker takes his hand and presses him to his knees. “Let us pray,” he orders.
Today:“Let us pray,” William Stryker Jr. orders. He prays, the unconscious X-Men at his feet. When he is finished he orders to gut these #&%* sons of Satan. Another Purifier points out these are the original X-Men from the past. If they kill them doesn’t that create a paradox? Wouldn’t there be a— butterfly effect, another Purifier suggests. Like maybe so much would change they wouldn’t exist. Or they would hobble the mutant cause, another points out.
This mutant killed his father, Stryker insists, holding a knife to Angel’s throat. A mutant killed his wife, another Purifier shoots back. They go back and forth and the other Purifier suggests they talk to someone smarter about this.
Later:X-23 hangs in chains from the ceiling. Someone tosses cold water at her, waking her up. She unsheathes her claws, threatening the Purifiers. Come on then! she snarls.
A computer screen springs to life, showing scenes of the horrifying things Laura did in Arcade’s arena. Where did they--?
Stryker informs her this was broadcast all over the world. The entire world saw her as the monster she is. She was on a reality show, he gloats. She was popcorn for morons. He wonders if the rest of those misplaced monsters knows what she is capable of. Let’s find out!
Cyclops hangs in another room. Is he awake? Stryker asks. When Cyclops says ‘yes’ Stryker asks why he is here. He’d gladly leave, Scott replies wryly. In this time, Styker clarifies. Scott demands his lawyer. Help him remember Stryker orders another Purifier and soon Scott screams.
Dr. Monica Rappacini from AIM enters after he asked for her. She identifies the unconscious Kitty Pryde and asks who the other woman is. Jean Grey, she is told. When she protests Jean is dead, she is told she is from the past. Stryker explains the X-Men attacked and they were about to execute them. Rappacini forbids it. Because it would create a paradox? Stryker states. That’s the best thing it could do, she replies. So he should let them go? He should let them go, burn this pale down, move to Auckland, New Zealand, start over and hoped they never find him, she snaps. He finds unacceptable. So is reality turning itself out, she retorts.
Jean awakes and secretly listens.
Rappacini continues since Stryker was a child… AIM and the Purifiers have had a longstanding fruitful relationship. AIM sells them their best weapons and they do what they need to, but hear her now- He has called her for her expert opinion and she is giving it to him. Pull the plugs on this. Then they win! he shouts.
Monica considers and finds they can be of use, after all. She orders her colleague Gary to get her bag.
Jean telepathically contacts Cyclops.
Monica wants to do some DNA gathering. She and her colleagues are working on some interesting experiments…
Jean calls the others telepathically. Bobby asks aloud: what?
Starting on Kitty, Rappacini explains they’ve done some work on eliminating the mutant gene but with the growing number of Terrigenesis Inhumans popping up around the world…
Jean telepathically calls Laura who in a panic orders her to stay out of her mind.
They’ve been creating some really interesting DNA splicings, Monica continues. They are taking these abominations and those abominations and make more abominations? Stryker asks skeptically.
Finished with Kitty, Monica tells him they can kill her. She is adult Kitty Pryde from the present. Seeing him sweat, she asks if he is okay He is praying, he replies. She read his genetic file on the way down. How is he feeling? Headaches? Sometimes trouble sleeping? He doesn’t sleep, he snaps. That’s not good, she tells him.
Jean telekinetically removes the ties that keep Cyclops’ glasses on his head.
Monica asks Stryker to visit her at the AIM compound. She has some interesting implants that could help him. There’s been a lot of advancement since her predecessor worked his magic on him. She tries to cut Kitty who phases.
No! Stryker shouts and begins to glow. His energy blast hits Monica while Kitty phases into the ground.
The other X-Men are free as well. Kicking a Purifier, Beast asks if they have a hypocritical psalm for getting a giant foot in the face.
Cyclops is still chained but blasts his guards. Laura kicks her guards and Angel takes his out.
Stryker shouts he doesn’t what happens to the world. Those devils will not… Suddenly, his father appears to him (courtesy of Jean), calling him an embarrassment. He trusted him! He gave him power and he failed him! He failed God almighty! He realizes it’s Jean. Daddy issues, she scoffs as she collapses the ceiling on him. Really original.
Kitty arrives remarking she was about to phase him through the floor but Jean has everything under control. She suggests they find the others.
Is this all going according to plan? Iceman asks the others. Because he forgot the plan. Scott orders him to find the others.
A Purifier crashes against a door and inside the room they find X-23 crouching on the ground. Scott tells the boys to find the others. He’ll help her.
He asks if she can stand. Is she ok? When Laura doesn’t react, he kneels down next to her and asks what they did to her. Without a word, she hugs him and clings to him fiercely. Jean silently watches.
While the other X-Men fight the Purifiers, Kitty calls SHIELD and asks to speak to Maria Hill. When told she is busy she asks if she is doing anything more important than mopping up Purifiers and some AIM scientists. Tell her it’s okay because the X-Men just did it for her. So how about, they triangulate this signal and come to clean this mess up?
The battle over, the X-Men stand around Stryker who calls them devils. They don’t belong here and they are going to create the apocalypse. They are the devil and the world will know. They will all know! Devil!

The New Xavier School:In the Danger Room, Kitty Pryde watches their newest member X-23 train. In the laboratory, Beast is busy trying to make sense of the theories of time travel. In the backyard, Iceman is making snow angels and singing Run DMC.
In the cafeteria, Angel stares with longing at the burger he is about to bite into. He is joined by Cyclops, who asks him how he is feeling today. Moments later, Jean Grey sits down on his other side and asks how they are after yesterday’s almost-kidnapping and religious zealot throw down. He’s okay, Warren replies and nervously ogles Jean and Scott. When he wants to bite into his burger, Jean suddenly shouts at Scott: Go ahead! Go ahead with what? he snaps back.
He’s sitting there thinking all those thoughts and if it’s okay to talk to her. Just say what he wants to say! she shouts. Obviously he doesn’t have to, Scott snarls, because she was reading his mind without his permission! Again!!!
She wasn’t, Jean replies defensively. She can’t help what she overhears. Calmly, he explains they’ve been through a lot in the last couple of weeks. He just wanted to see if everyone is okay. He’s okay, Angel remarks, only to be ignored.
She’s fine, Jean replies. Scott reminds her she saw her future self die. That could not have been easy. She’s still processing it, Jean admits. They can talk about it, Scott insists. They are friends. Teammates. How is she really? Scrunching up her face, Jean replies that if she wanted to talk about it, she would. That’s healthy, Scott mutters.
Who says she hasn’t cried? Jean gets into his face again. Stop reading his thoughts! Scott shouts. Stop thinking judgmental %$§# about her! Jean snaps back. Scott glares. That’s not fair, Jean replies to his unspoken thoughts. He glares again. And he knows that isn’t true. Sitting between them, Angel clearly wishes he was elsewhere.
He doesn’t know that, Scott finally says. She’s the one who knows. Everything that’s going to happen to them… their entire lives. She’s seen her life. She knows about their entire relationship. He only has bits and pieces. He only has things that he discovers as they go. She won’t even talk to him about it.
She really doesn’t think it’s healthy for them to know so much about their destiny, Jean replies primly. But it’s okay for her, he points out. She didn’t ask for any of this! And he did?!
What does he want to know? she asks. He wants to know— He breaks off. Honestly, he doesn’t want to get caught up in all of this with her. He just wants to know she is okay. She’s going through a lot. She’s one of, if not actually, his best friend and, regardless of whatever else is going on with them, he just wants to know she is okay. Jean says nothing.
What? she suddenly demands. He didn’t say anything, he points out. She’s dealing with it, okay? That’s what she does. Stuck in the wrong time… dealing with it. Find out she dies, twice… she deals with it. Find out her whole family dies… dealing. Belying her words, her food goes flying in a telekinetic outburst. Find out they get married but he ends up with Silver Boobs McGee… she’s dealing with it. Then, to top it all off, she dies in front of herself, and yet… she deals with it. She’s dealing.
Jean gets up and stalks away, ignoring Angel calling out her name. Cyclops walks off into the other direction. That was really uncomfortable. Angel returns to his food. Bobby would have loved that.
Bobby is still outside, singing, when he notices three lights in the night sky coming closer. They are missiles. He erects an iceshield that is quickly broken through by armored beings. Before he can warn the others, he is shot at. An alert goes off which the others hear.
The X-Men attack. Cyclops orders them to protect the school. Kitty recognize their foes as Shi’ar. She tries to phase through one’s armor to make it malfunction, but finds out the hard way they are prepared for her powers as she is pushed back.
Jean uses her telekinesis to send their blasts off course as others attack. Beast is excited at the idea of dealing with real alien life forms. Cyclops less so. Suddenly, Jean is imprisoned in a bubble energy field and, after her, so are the others.
Only Iceman is outside. As he sees the Shi’ar getting away with Jean, he attacks on an iceslide and is also quickly put into a bubble.
The Shi’ar take Jean and leave.
Kitty awakes to see them fly off. Why should the Shi’ar do this? she laments. They were their allies, she explains, or so she thought. Beast marvels that they made extraterrestrial contact. X-23 warns them they are coming back.
Lights in the sky come closer. Kitty tells the kids she’ll do the talking. However, a very different motley crew exits the spaceship. A blond man introduces them as the Guardian of the Galaxy. He sees their faces and swears. They’re too late, aren’t they?

In the darkness, Scott Summers can make out a shape. Jean? he asks. She read his note, Jean Grey tells him. Did he mean what he said? Does he really love her? Why didn’t he tell her sooner?
He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know what? a different voice asks. Good Lord! Scott screams as he wakes up and sees that the person talking is a raccoon. What – who… he stammers. Hey, he was the one about to pucker up on him, Rocket Raccoon points out.
Scott finds himself on a spaceship, surrounded by the other X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Kitty Pryde tells him things took a turn for the surreal. Gamora explains they are the Guardians. They are here to help.
Iceman happily points out they are on a spaceship and that this is a talking raccoon. As usual, Groot announces, I am Groot. If the straits were not so dire, this would be the greatest day of his life, Beast admits. Did they mention the tree talks, Angel adds. And they are in outer space?
Peter Quill aka Star-Lord tells everyone to take a seat and buckle up. Earth’s orbit is nothing but clutter. Sometimes things get bumpy. Is he saying they already made it into orbit? Hank marvels. He’s just going to nerd out on him the whole time, isn’t he? Peter states. Probably, Hank admits. Scott asks where they are going. Peter tells him to settle down. They are here to help. Where is Jean Grey? Scott shouts.
Jean finds herself floating. She awakes with Scott’s name on her lips. She is still in her bubble prison, now aboard a spaceship. She announces who she is. She doesn’t know where they are taking her, but she demands someone explain to her exactly where-- Oh God! she exclaims when she realizes they are in space. Just tell her where they are taking her. Why can’t she hear their thoughts? Maybe she hasn’t tried hard enough…
That won’t be necessary, Gladiator, flanked by the Imperial Guard tells her. Her mutant powers won’t work here. They’ve seen to that. He is Kallark, Majestor of the Shi’ar and chosen Praetor of the Imperial Guard. Her human friends know him as Gladiator. They have been chosen to make sure that the laws of the Shi’ar Empire are obeyed across the entire galaxy. Take her away! he orders.
What do they want from her? Jean demands. Her questions will be answered in time. No! she protests. He has to tell her! She is here to answer for her crimes, he replies darkly. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about! she cries. That means little. He turns away. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about! she screams. He doesn’t have the right to do this! Let her go! Let her go, or so help her God-- She screams and tries to use her powers. An energy blast hits her and the globe is dropped through a trapdoor into somewhere dark and isolated. Helpless, Jean swears.
The Guardians’ ship on the outskirts of the Shi’ar Empire:Kitty blames herself for not predicting this. She didn’t see aliens from another planet coming to Earth to kidnap Jean and put her on trial for crimes she didn’t commit? Angel asks sensibly. Yet, Rocket Raccoon adds. Crimes that they didn’t even know she would be capable of, Angel continues. Yet, Rocket repeats. Angela and Kitty tell him to shut up.
Star-Lord tells Kitty she is being hard on herself. She’s in charge of these kids, she replies. Why are they even here again? Rocket asks. They offered them a ride, Iceman replies. He means in this time period, Beast explains. He gets that, Iceman replies. He just likes talking to the talking raccoon. It makes him feel like a Disney princess. He’d make a better princess than Hank, he points out defensively when Beast reacts with skepticism.
It’s all a lie, a dejected Cyclops announces. They are here because someone told them there was going to be a mutant genocide or apocalypse and that they should come here and stop it. But it was all a lie. Hearing this, Angela asks what a mutant is.
When Hank begins to explain Rocket states he is already bored with the answer. Drax asks him to be nice to their guests. Then they should stop calling him a raccoon, he replies, surprising Bobby and Hank.
Suddenly they are shaken as the ship is hit. Peter reminds Rocket he told him to keep the ship cloaked. He did, is the angry reply. The Shi’ar have nevertheless found them and are firing at the far smaller vessel.
In the chaos, Angela asks Drax if they can get the ship closer.
Rocket addresses the Shi’ar, announcing they accept their surrender and mocks them.
The Shi’ar fire at them and the ship is again shaken. Angela tells Star-Lord to get the ship close, then asks Groot if he will accompany her into battle. I am Groot, he replies as usual. What can they do? Cyclops asks. Angela tells them to stand down. They are hit again. She hates space, Kitty mutters. She has had very bad luck in space!
Elsewhere, Jean awakes at what seems to be a table in a huge interrogation room. Opposite her sits the Imperial Guard’s telepath Oracle, who explains to her she has been transported to the Shi’ar homeworld. She is under arrest and to be brought before a tribunal.
Jean slams the wall, demanding to be let out. Calmly, Oracles asks her what she knows of the Phoenix. She was shown her legacy when she arrived in this time, yes? She was shown her future, Jean replies. Did she understand it? Oracle asks. Jean recalls the images of Dark Phoenix… of Phoenix dying twice. She was shown her entire life in a burst, she states. Oracle imagines she wasn’t able to fully comprehend the experience.
What is she being accused of? Jean asks. What has she done? She murdered a planet, Oracle replies. No, she hasn’t! Jean retorts. Oracle tells her to look inside herself. Jean is quiet.
Interesting, Oracle observes. Jean has no firsthand experience memory of her time or actions as the Phoenix… none at all. How could-- Jean stammers. She would never – wait! Was Oracle just inside her mind? She knows Jean is innocent! She has to tell them! That is what the day of judgment will be for, Oracle tells her as she gets up. But she knows it wasn’t her! Jean insists. She liked talking to a psychic of such raw emotion, Oracle continues. She has such love in her heart. And for so many. So raw, so— Stop it! Jean shouts and her eyes flare. Oracle advises her to watch her temper. She is not helping her case. She and the room fade away and Jean finds herself again in her bubble prison in the dark.
Elsewhere:Angela, Drax and Groot attack the Shi’ar ship in space. Aboard the Guardians’ ship, Gamora tells Star-Lord to take the ship away as she puts on a spacesuit. She’ll signal when to come get them. Hell, no! he protests.
Rocket criticizes Cyclops for the way he is trying to extinguish the fire. It’s his first space fire! Scott snaps. X-23 wants to go fight. Gamora informs her she likes her, but she’ll stay here.
Rocket decides when this is over he is going to propose to Angela. And it’s not because she doesn’t know how to dress for battle. His train of thought is interrupted when they encounter another spaceship. The other ship hails them, telling Quill to get his buddies out of the way and they’ll wrap up this fight for them.
Quill orders his teammates back and the Starjammer quickly takes out the Shi’ar ship. He thought he was dead, Quill addresses Corsair, leader of the Starjammers. He thought the same about them, Corsair retorts. He was just talking about this yesterday. He bet Raza his sword the Guardians hadn’t made it off the Badoon homeworld.
Why did he call him Summers? Scott asks Peter. Star-Lord stammers. Corsair asks what the trouble with the Shi’ar is. Peter announces he thinks there is someone who wants to say ‘hi’ to him. This is Major Christopher Summers, US Air Force. Who is he talking to?

Chandilar:The trial of Jean Grey has begun. Having confronted the imprisoned Jean with the deeds of Dark Phoenix, of the millions who have died at her hand, Gladiator demands how she pleads. Jean looks down and stays silent. Gladiator booms, he takes her silence as – Innocence! another voice interjects sharply.
It is J-son, king of Spartax, who is making his way to the dais. He accuses Gladiator of blindness. Jean is but a child. She is not the Phoenix. She doesn’t even understand what Gladiator is accusing her of! His posturing seems quite insane!
He has no place at this tribunal, Gladiator hisses. J-son points out Gladiator invited him here like everyone else. Does he mean to say only the Shi’ar were affected by the Phoenix’s rampage years ago? He thought this tribunal was to keep civility in the galaxy. As far as he can tell, this girl has done nothing. Certainly not yet. While Gladiator and his people have kidnapped her and held her against her will. Wasn’t it also the Shi’ar who once sent an invasion to Earth and had her entire family and lineage wiped out? Jean looks up shocked. They killed her entire family, J-son continues. On the off chance that it was her genealogy that attracted the Phoenix Force. Is this true? Jean asks, wide-eyed.
J-son continues if that child were the Phoenix and Gladiator were the cause of her family’s demise… if she had the power, does he really think she would let him live? Jean glares and Oracle looks up disturbed.
Somewhere in space, Angela drifts seemingly lifelessly. The Shi’ar cannot identify her but decide to pull her in as an unidentified lifeform for the high science command to examine.
On the cloaked Guardians’ ship, Kitty asks if this is going to work. It’s working, Star-Lord replies. There are other ways, Drax mutters. Gamora tells him this needs a lighter touch.
On the Shi’ar ship, the Shi’ar examine the body to suddenly find it is quite alive.
Guardians, Starjammers and X-Men are waiting more or less patiently when they are finally hailed by Angela after she has finished off the Shi’ar. Admiringly, somebody asks her for her hand in marriage. Believing it is Rocket, she tells him he is too short. When finding out it was Gamora, she decides to think about it.
Meanwhile on Chandilar, a group of Imperial Guard members accompany Jean in her bubble prison out of the hall while the tribunal pauses. While disliking J-son, they wonder if he is wrong though.
Meanwhile, J-son and Gladiator are arguing. J-son asks what he said that was factually incorrect.
Both J-son and the Imperials wonder if Jean is just a girl, not the Phoenix. Suddenly. Jean looks up…
While the two kings are arguing, Oracle looks up, announcing something is wrong. She runs outside to find the Imperials unconscious and Jean gone. Angrily, Oracle shouts she warned Gladiator. Jean is capable of so much and he is so intent on pushing and pushing her! In his pathological fear of the Phoenix, he may have woken her from her slumber! Coolly, she recommends he stop thinking of assassinating Jean. If Oracle can read his thoughts, so can Jean.
J-son’s guard insists on protocol and getting him off-planet. Smiling, he replies he’s done what he came here to do…
In space, the Shi’ar command addresses the ship the Guardians, X-Men and Starjammers hijacked, telling it that it is out of formation. Rocket explains their commander is taking an unidentified humanoid to the Shi’ar science command. She is emitting an unidentified radiation and he is worried about his ship’s crew. Permission is granted and they are told to bring the alien to the science command headquarters at Tirgard and stay away from the throne city. They learn that the Earth girl escaped and the city is on lockdown.
Drax is impressed that Jean took down the Imperial Guard and wants to meet her. Cyclops demands they go faster. Rocket snaps that will get them the entire Shi’ar armada on their sakonnets. She needs them! Scott insists. Kitty tells him to steady.
Jean is jumping from rooftop to rooftop and hiding in the shadows. She is overcome by what she has learned of the Phoenix.
Elsewhere. the heroes land in the rubble of a city. Star-Lord, Corsair and Kitty brief the others. Angela announces she can find Jean if she has her scent. X-23 states she can track her and does have her scent. Peter puts her up front and tells Drax he is in charge of her well-being. Nobody go off half-cocked or whole-cocked or any kind of cocked.
Corsair asks Scott if he is gonna be okay out there and suggests he stay behind. That’s not going to happen, Scott replies simply. Corsair explains they can’t afford any kind of emotional – She’s out there! Scott interrupts him. Let’s go!
Nice try, Hepzibah tells her lover. Corsair admits he can’t stand watching him make the same mistakes again. She can’t even imagine how weird this is for him. He doesn’t know what to do. She tells him to have Scott’s back.
The heroes head out of the ship to find Gladiator and the Imperial Guard (Oracle Tempest, WarStar, Plutonia, Electron, Smasher and Manta) expecting them. Gladiator advises them to choose their next move wisely. All right, Rocket replies and fires his weapon at him. Iceman is surprised that they consider the opposition a solid threat when there are so few.
He soon learns why, as Manta blinds most of them with a strobe of light. Gladiator tells her to hit them again if they get up. The rest of them will take care of the stragglers, referring to Angela, Groot and Drax, who are still standing.
The three of them attack Gladiator, who grabs Drax and throws him against the other two. He wonders how the Guardians and Starjammers are involved in this madness, when he is hit in the back by Cyclops’ optic blast. Not bad, Corsair admits. Gladiator addresses Cyclops directly. The older him would have known better than to anger him this day. Bring him Jean Grey or he will kill him! Scott threatens. Gladiator takes it back. He sounds exactly like his older self.
He and the others are about to attack when a voice shouts ‘enough.’ It’s Jean. who calmly announces Gladiator is right. She is a monster.

Night at the Jean Grey School:Dr. Hank McCoy lies in his bed wide awake. Suddenly, a bald stranger stands next to his bedside. Having trouble sleeping, Dr. McCoy? he asks. He never sleeps, Henry replies. Rarely, he amends. He’s so uncomfortable. Is he in pain? the stranger asks. Not terribly, he replies. Just uncomfortable. Anxious. His mutation, the stranger agrees. His body has been through so much. But this lack of sleep… He wonders if it is about something else.
Of course it is, Henry sighs. He is not a fool. The choices he’s made, the stranger continues. He’s brought the original X-Men here to the present. And now they can’t go back where they belong and he can’t figure out how to send them back. Or he refuses to. He’s tried, Henry replies. Has he tried everything? the stranger asks.
He thought he understood the fundamentals of time travel, Henry muses. But they point to an understanding of the universe far greater than humankind’s collective experiences. He thought he understood the scientific realities of the space time continuum. But he does not, the stranger remarks. Does he? Henry shoots back.
It doesn’t matter what he thinks or knows, the stranger replies. He didn’t abuse the privilege of reality. And that is what it is, doctor. A privilege. And a privilege that must be earned. Henry brought himself and his friends here under false pretenses. He told them they were here to stop a mutant genocide.
It worked, didn’t it? Henry replies. It never happened. He brought them here to sober Scott Summers – to stop him from ruining them as a people. He stands by that decision.
Does he stand by the consequences? the stranger asks. He obviously didn’t consider the fact that he wouldn’t be able to send them home, Henry admits. He doesn’t even understand the consequences, the stranger remarks. He understands that time and space are fragile, Henry begins.
The consequences are infinite, the stranger continues. Infinite for him. For his friends. His people. His planet. His reality. Infinite realities. All of them real. All of them concrete. And now Beast is responsible for all of them.
He begins to show him images of these realities:A reality where the tortured soul of Jean Grey, once the freshest face of hope and reason for his entire people… A young woman who can read the minds of those around her and yet actively chose to sift through the darkness and fear and clung only to the good and hope. And even when that innocence was corrupted against her will… In his heart Henry thought whatever happens to Jean Grey now must be better than her original horrible fate. Because he couldn’t imagine anything worse than what she’d been through.
He couldn’t imagine that without Charles Xavier to help her and mold her persona that eventually it would not be others who brought out her worst. It would be Jean that decided her powers were given to her for a reason. That like Magneto told her, it was mutants’ birthright to conquer.
The next future Henry is shown is one of Scott Summers, the idealist, being crucified and burned by mutant haters.
Iceman is next who without the team support has lost control of his power and finds himself attacked by icetrolls of his own making.
And if the most heroic and lighthearted of them could so easily be destroyed from within, how hard is it to imagine a world where those of them who have already faced their darkest hour found their destiny even more nightmarish? A future where Angel has given in to the dark side of Archangel, has murdered other heroes and holds Betsy Braddock prisoner.
In a world of overwhelming chaos, war and despair even the most noble are overwhelmed… and Colossus has become a vicious warrior with a huge gun and a sword.
Another world where the voices drove Emma Frost insane.
Another reality:The Savage Land:Ka-Zar and Zabu search for a trace of the Beast, who has given up his humanity and become savage. Angrily, he attacks a dino, fighting with him for prey. Ka-Zar looks away, pained.
Present:Hank tells the stranger to stop. Is he telling him of all the myriad possibilities for his people, that they all end in failure and tragedy? It all ends in the world rejecting and punishing them?
No, the stranger replies, these are just the ones he wanted to show him first. There are futures with friendship and joy and happiness. That’s why he did this, Henry interrupts. All of this! To bring peace and understanding. To calm everything down before he died! To bring clarity to it all. Show him what he has been fighting for!
New images appear:One shows the X-Men flanked by the Avengers on a parade, loved and hailed by the public. There are many futures where this day arrives, the stranger tells him.
And with their struggles behind them, his people are free. Free to live, to love, free to experience friendship and adventures. He shows him a future of Kitty Pryde and Illyana Rasputin fighting ninjas and demons and having fun together.
Others would use their powers to explore, e.g. Storm, Psylocke and Nightcrawler in space together.
But what is still a primary concern to Beast is what a world without X-Men would be like. Some of them would reach new and maybe truer destinies unencumbered by old allegiance, such as Magik becoming the successor to Dr. Strange.
As an X-Man, they would never find their true calling. Now some of them would bloom. Some of them would be challenged in ways life hadn’t prepared them for (such as Emma Frost, Pixie and others becoming agents of SHIELD).
In the Savage Land, Cyclops fights Mimic, as a freedom fighter becomes a vigilante. A tortured soul becomes an icon (referring to the Scarlet Witch). A terrorist becomes a power broker (referring to Magneto) while others stay true to themselves in different ways (Nightcrawler fighting alongside Captain America). Those with special skills will still find a way to use them—
Stop his lies right now! Beast orders. He’s filling his head with all these images… impressions…All of these roads not taken. He’s not convincing him that he’s done anything wrong. He can’t be held responsible for things he has no control over. This collage of all the good things that won’t happen because of something he’s done…He wants his friends to find love. He wants his friends to rise above their status and become the mutants—
He came here to tell him that because of him none of those things will ever happen, the stranger announces. A myriad of realities he has destroyed. He has guaranteed that the happiness and love and respect and adventure that he craves for his friends may never happen.
Then help him, Henry asks. Help him put it back.
The Stranger reveals himself as the Watcher. He does not act. And Hank disgusts him. But it’s not too late, Hank stammers. He can make this right. He just needs—
He finds himself alone and sleepless.

Surrounded by the Phoenix effect, X-Men, Guardians and Shi’ar at her feet, Jean shouts: I am fire! I am life incarnate! Now and forever I am the Phoenix!
Reality:With a scream, Jean awakes from her nightmare. Is she ok? a voice comes from the doorway. Seeing the familiar red glow, she figures it’s Cyclops, who has come back. Not exactly, he replies and she realizes it’s the older Scott. Or regular-aged him, he replies, depending on one’s point of view. He heard her scream. He knows that sound. Is she okay?
Bad dreams, she tells him. Really bad. He can imagine. She found out a lot of terrible things, about herself, the world, the galaxy. She saw a lot of things she might not be ready for.
Professor Kitty told him what happened? she asks. A space adventure, he replies. He could use one of those actually. They used to go on them all the time. She hated hers, Jean sighs. Scott suggests next time to go of her own volition and not get kidnapped.
If he had been here at the school, he’d have done everything to stop what happened to her from happening. She knows. He heard she has a fancy new power. She doesn’t have to show him now but he would like to see it. He finds it interesting that she manifested something new, when the older her – well, it’s just interesting.
The older her, she sighs. She’s tried putting it all together and sometimes it felt like she never had a chance. She never had a chance he agrees darkly. So maybe she doesn’t either, Jean ventures.
Scott considers it. He doesn’t know, he admits. He’s been thinking about this, about her, about himself. He was wondering what he would do differently if he knew then what he knows now.
And? she asks. He would have done a lot of things differently. He doesn’t know if they would have been better but they would have been different. He certainly would have dealt with her differently.
So his younger self took off? he asks. With his father? That is strange. She agrees. Did they even mention him? Jean admits she didn’t talk to Corsair all that much. It’s weird that he’s jealous of himself. Jean agrees. Why doesn’t he remember this happening if it’s happening to his younger self? She tells him to ask Hank. Every time she’s thinking about what they are doing to time and space, her head hurts.
He worries about Hank. His or hers? she asks. His, he clarifies. He did this. He brought the original X-Men here and it kind of backfired on him. He did it to stop Scott from committing “mutant genocide” Jean quotes. What he did was create a situation he can’t get them out of, he continues. He’s worried what will happen if the wrong people find out.
It’s actually nice to talk to him, Jean admits. They have been avoiding each other pretty hard, he agrees. She touches his hand. He is so much older. She thinks that’s why she likes him more than young Scott. It’s like instead of hoping he’d grow up to become this man, he did become this man. He’s here. The man she’d hoped he’d be.
He pulls his hand away. They can never, he warns her. Okay. He means never! Okay, she replies beaten.
He tells her he and Kitty talked. They are going to have Ms. Frost work with Jean. Help her manage her new powerset and continue the training she started with Xavier. It’s important she stay on top of this. His ex Ms. Frost? she asks. Well, that won’t be weird at all. Why should this be different than anything else? he sighs as he leaves her room.
Kitty Pryde is waiting outside. He handled that well, she remarks coolly. Good thing for him. That’s the last time she wants to see him in Jean’s room alone. Yes, ma’am, he sighs.
Morning and Warren Worthington is enjoying a flight outside in the winter air when he notices Laura Kinney leaving. He lands in front of her and asks where she is going, but she snarls at him to stay out of her way. What happened? he asks. She scoffs then tells him she doesn’t know him. She is sure he is pleasant to be around some people but excuse her.
He continues talking when suddenly she crouches in a fighting stance. She attacks the bear behind him and frightens him away.
Laura turns to leave again. Angel guesses it’s because Scott left. Laura stops. He just left, she states puzzled. Well, he did say goodbye, Angel points out. She though they were a team! So did he. But he gets it. Scott thought his dad was dead and he’s not and he’s a space pirate. And regardless of whatever the thing was he was wearing on his head, it’s his dad.
Laura turns around. She’s leaving. Did they have a thing? Warren asks. She doesn’t know him she replies. This is how people get to know people, he points out. Wordlessly, Laura walks on. He looks after her.
Some distance away, out of sight Laura notice something. Stop following her, she warns .She unsheathe her claws. From behind the bushes, someone comes out and apologizes. He didn’t mean to sneak up on her. He didn’t know how else to approach her. All things considered. It’s young Cyclops. Hands in the air, he tells her he came back for her. He should have talked to her before he left. So he asked his dad to come back.
When he is close enough, he stabs her in the stomach. He assures her he took no joy in that, takes her bag and leaves her to bleed in the snow.
Inside the complex:Beast hangs upside down in front of his timeline blackboard, now factoring in Cyclops’s departure with the Starjammers and Jean’s new power and wonders what it all means.
Angel joins the other in the mess at breakfast and asks if none of them noticed Laura leaving. Who’s Laura? Bobby asks. Where did she go? Benjamin Deeds adds. Did he try to stop her? Hank asks. She was having none of it, Angel replies. Did she say why? She’s mad that Scott left. So is he.
Who are they talking about? Bobby asks. Laura, X-23. The only other girl they know who isn’t Jean Grey. The girl with claws, Bobby realizes. He didn’t catch her name, he shrugs. He called her “Wolverine clone.”
An agitated Kitty orders Angel to go back and find her. Kitty grabs him by the arm and wants to go look for her despite his protests they have to respect. Please, she scoffs.
Oh no, she mutters moments later, when a bleeding Laura drags herself inside. Show yourself! she orders and breaks down. Hank calls for the healer to come over. One of them… shapeshifter! Laura groans. Tempus wonders if she means Mystique. Kitty protests she doesn’t know they are here. Someone found their secret school, Bobby announces darkly. It was only a matter of time.
And outside, the future Brotherhood of Mutants closes in.

Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, England, last year:A woman looking like and addressed as Moira MacTaggert is giving birth in the hospital. With a final scream, she pushes out a healthy boy. She holds the baby in her arms and recalls the death of Charles Xavier at Cyclops’ hands. She tells the medical personnel to take the baby. She doesn’t want him.
They look at her nonplussed. Is something wrong? a doctor asks. Take him and give him to someone who will take care of him! She can’t. She’s unfit! He isn’t safe with her! The midwife remarks that she didn’t say anything about giving up the baby before. This is a huge decision she’s making, the doctor adds. Get the baby away from her now! she screams. She shouts at them all to get out.
Once she’s alone, she turns to her true blue form as Mystique. She cries she’s sorry, Charles. She thought she could do it. She can’t!
Present:Outside the new Xavier School:Listen to him, young Xavier addresses the future Brotherhood of Mutants. Let’s not make the same mistake twice. No one is looking for a repeat of last time, Beast points out and Deadpool dimly recalls he thinks he died last time. Xavier addresses Molly Hayes, who takes up a ball of scrap metal to smash in the door. They sure it’s time? Deadpool asks. Xorn replies Raze has been ready for three minutes.
Three minutes earlier inside: The X-Men have gathered around the injured X-23. Kitty asks her what happened. Beast shouts at Triage to come help. Someone get Cyclops, Tempus suggests. Magik orders an emergency lockdown. Triage tries to calm Laura telling her he is a healer. You first! “Laura” decides, stabs him through the throat and reveals herself to be Raze. So have they all guessed who the shapeshifter is? he grins.
Magik wounds him with her Soulsword, announcing she knew this day would come. Grabbing Raze from behind, Beast wryly remarks he wishes she’d told them then. He throws Raze down hard.
Kitty fears the rest of the Brotherhood is here as well. Moments later, the lights go out. Someone cut the power. The emergency system goes on. Who would even know where the power generator is? Magik wonders. It’s ten stories below them.
Celeste and Phoebe Cuckoo are in their rooms and wonder what is going on. She senses the others are in the cafeteria, Phoebe announces. Celeste snaps she can read the same minds. Where is Mindee? She doesn’t like not being able to feel her in their hivemind.
Their sister Mindee crouches on the ground in the corridor. When Celeste addresses her, she turns around, her eyes glowing and telepathically attacks her sisters.
Xorn informs the rest of the Brotherhood the Cuckoos are down. She really enjoyed that. Beast warns her not to get cocky. They have entered the HQ. Molly Hayes reminds them they still have Frost and Jean Grey to deal with.
Xavier, in a floating chair, announces he can’t sense them, which means they are shielding themselves. Moments later, they see Cyclops, Emma and Jean in the corridor.
Cyclops fires his optic blast at the Brotherhood, blasting them out the door. Afterwards, he admits that’s all he had for a while. Jean telekinetically blocks the entrance with debris. Sure, that’ll keep them out, Emma mocks. She’s buying them a second to regroup, Jean shoots back. Emma lectures her that keeping up her psychic shield is more important.
Did they recognize them? The Brotherhood of evil X-Men from the future. Cyclops recalls some of them had expired last time they fought. When she sees people time-travel here to cause trouble she understands how annoying it is that the original X-Men are here, Jean announces. Just her admitting it makes her forgive Jean, Emma states. Jean wonders what they want.
The Future:The adoptive mother of teenage Charles is playing with her tablet in the kitchen and shouts the bus will be there in a few minutes. She hears screams from her son’s room and runs up to him. Is it the headaches again? she asks and suggest going to the doctor. Charles doesn’t believe he can help. She believes it’s just migraines. She doesn’t understand, he sighs.
Unwillingly, he lashes out with his new powers. When he recovers, he finds her lying still and bloodied. Horrified, he realized he has killed her.
Today:The cafeteria:Growling, Raze attacks. Iceman blasts him with ice while Magik shouts she is not getting any pulse from Triage. Kitty and Beast demand answers from Raze, who turns back into a frightened X-23. It’s really her, she stammers. They are controlling her. They are mentally manipulating them. Nothing is as it seems. The young X-Men are confused. Despite Kitty’s warning, Tempus reaches out to “Laura.”
Benjamin Deeds shouts at Magik to use her magic to help Triage. He’s dead, she replies. Suddenly, Christopher sits up and wonders aloud whose blood is on his shirt. Did he pass out for a second?
Laura has turned into young Cyclops and announces they are all in a heap of trouble. Iceman states critically Scott wouldn’t say heap. Can he? Beast asks. Please, Kitty replies and Beast hits Raze square in the face, knocking him out.
Magik and the kids marvel at Christopher healing himself from being dead. Kitty orders they need to regroup. Mindee? Angel asks.
The Cuckoo stands there empty-eyed, then attacks all of them telepathically, under young Xavier’s control.
Years from now, Madripoor:A limo stops in front of a luxurious building. Mystique exits the car and enters her spacious apartment. How come she can smell him but not see him? she demands. Xavier shows himself and notes why she can smell him. He used telepathy to prevent her seeing him. He didn’t know to do the other senses. Mystique wants to know who he is. He came here because he thought she was his mother. But who is she really? Is he a mutant, “Mystique” asks. Or SHIELD, whatever’s left of it? Xavier probes deeper and states it would seem he is his brother.
Raze shifts to his true form and announces he hates psychics. Xavier realizes he is a shapeshifter like their mother. He killed her and took her place. How is he meeting him just now? Raze asks interested. Xavier explains their mother gave him away. But kept him, Raze scoffs. Genius move. And Raze killed her, Xavier states. If he read his mind he knows why, Raze shoots back. And if he has a problem with it he has a problem with him. And if he doesn’t, he’s welcome!
They size each other up. Raze muses he looks exactly like— his father, Xavier finishes. Intrigued, Raze states maybe they should think about what they are going to do when they grow up…
The Present:Scott, Emma and Jean are on their own. Emma wonders how to get the cafeteria without getting tracked by psychics. She is the expert on psychic manipulation, Scott points out. She tell them. Emma reminds Jean to keep up a strong psychic shield to protect them. Jean announces she can’t stand the screaming. They are psychically torturing everyone else. She suggests they call for help. Emma points out everyone hates them.
They can do this. They beat them before, Scott announces. Emma remembers a few of the Brotherhood died the last time. And yet, here they are.
Jean groans. They found her. They are trying to take down her defenses. Emma hits her hard and takes her out. She’s been dying for an excuse to do that, Scott states as he checks Jean’s vitals. Emma reminds him they have a full-grown Jean and Xavier versus teenage Jean. She didn’t like the math.
The astral plane:Jean finds herself here facing Xavier, Xorn and the Cuckoos. Xavier coolly states last time they met he realized he should have dealt with her first. That was why they failed. He thanks her for the chance to rectify that. Why is he doing this? Jean demands confused.

The future:A lab, an older Hank McCoy hangs upside down, the room is full of blackboards with his notes and formulas. Age of Apocalypse he mutters, Age of Ultron, Age of X, Age of Aquarius, Age of Enlightenment… President Stark, President, Rogers, President Dazzler, President Jameson, President Brevoort…
Young Xavier and Raze enter the lab. Xavier addresses Beast, remarking he is a hard man to find. But, being that no one has seen him in years, that was probably of his own design. Oh my stars and garters! Beast exclaims and jumps down. He really does say that, Raze marvels, like that old guy Drake said.
Xavier, you are alive! Beast exclaims. He might be thinking of his father, Xavier replies. Or his father’s father. Beast realizes he is Charles Xavier’s son and asks how old he is. Eighteen, he is told. Beast climbs up again, intending to write this down.
When Raze is puzzled Xavier explains that Dr. McCoy has been struggling with the conundrum of the space time continuum. He is the one who brought the original X-Men forward in time and never found a way to send them back. Oh yeah, he hates those guys, Raze replies, looking at a piece of circuitry. Xavier continues, Beast blames himself for a series of events that led that team to ruin. And it drove him bat s-word Cocoa Puffs.
Which one is he? McCoy demands of Raze, who reluctantly tells him his name. He asks more questions and Raze makes fun of him until finally admitting his parents are Wolverine and Mystique. Beast adds that to his formulas.
Raze decides he’s useless. Xavier replies he just needs a little help putting everything back where it belongs. He uses his power…
What did he just do? a saner Beast asks. He’s suffered enough, Xavier replies. Crying, Hank thanks him. Xavier demands information about Charles Xavier and the X-Men. He wants to know where it all went wrong. What difference does that make now? Hank asks. Xavier wants to fix it. Hank tries to explain you can’t fix what already has been done. He’s tried everything. Not everything, Xavier insists.
Today, the Canadian wilderness:X-23 was stabbed and left for dead by Raze. Having healed herself, Laura awakes. Claws unsheathed, she gets up.
In the cafeteria, Mindee, whose mind has been overtaken by Xavier, mentally attacks and tortures the other students and X-Men present. She begs for someone to stop her before he makes her kill someone.
The astral plane:Jean Grey finds herself on the astral plane at the mercy of Xavier, who announces his mistake last time was not dealing with her first. She asks where they are. He thought she’d come further along as a psychic. He reckons this will be easy.
Jean attacks and he scoffs at her straight-forward attack. He strikes back, assuring her he respects her. He is not treating her like the others. Why is he doing this? she groans. Why does everyone ask that? he shrugs. Why does she think? Because he hates them. He hates who the X-Men are and who they will become. They stand on his father’s grave and speak of his legacy and have done nothing but make a mockery of it. If he was alive today he would be disgusted. But he is not alive because the X-Men murdered him! And then they moved into his house and took his money and they didn’t even have the courtesy to keep his name on the school he built. She wants to know why this is happening? Because they deserve it! Because they think of nothing but themselves!
The future: Madripoor:The Brotherhood is gathered. Why can’t they beat the X-Men? Xavier rages. Because the X-Men have mastered magic, technology and bending the laws of physics, Beast points out. Magic trumps psychic, even at Xavier’s level. And just as they have found a way to stave off Xavier’s psychic attacks, they will find the Brotherhood soon enough.
Beast announces he is done fighting his mutant brothers. He sees Colossus and the others and remembers the good old days and it breaks his heart. This is not the life he wanted.
Xavier orders him to be quiet. He doesn’t care what he wants. He let Beast have part of his own mind so they could engage in a civilized conversation. But the reason the X-Men are like this, that his father is dead, is in part because of Beast. He doesn’t get to leave here. He doesn’t get a vote. He is Xavier’s puppet. Say: I understand. “I understand,” Beast echoes dutifully.
All of them, Xavier orders and the others (save for Raze) echo the statement. He likes when he makes them do that, Raze grins. He’s not puppeteering him like that though, right? He’s his brother, Xavier replies. They are family. That’s not an answer, Raze pushes. Stop it, Xavier orders and wonders how do they defeat the X-Men and take back his father’s legacy.
The Present:The cafeteria:The others beg Mindee to stop attacking them psychically. She cries Xavier is controlling her. A bored Raze mutters if this was any of the X-Men he actually gave a #*$& about he might really enjoy this. He licks Mindee’s face and asks where Cyclops is. He really wants to gut a Cyclops.
Elsewhere, Cyclops is carrying Jean while Emma is suffering from the screams of the others. Her psychic powers are of course not broken enough to spare her this kind of hell. Cyclops tells her to find Xavier. He’ll stop the screaming. Possessed by Xavier, Jean announces: He’s right behind you, Slim. He turns around to see the Brotherhood.
Kill me, Xavier has Jean say. Xavier urges him to do it. He killed his father, no problem. This should be easy for him. He takes control over Scott. who asks him not to do this as his visor begins to open. Jean regains consciousness. Emma tackles Scott, making his eyebeam aim elsewhere and hit Molly Hayes.
Xavier orders Deadpool and Xorn to kill them in front of him. Make it a show! Emma thought they took care of these future-pains in the ass already.
The future:Madripoor:Xavier is still musing. Let’s go back in time, Raze suddenly suggests. He points at Beast. Time travel guy here, he’s already messed up the entire mutant timeline. Let’s go back in time and kick their asses before they master magic and tech and all that. Let’s pull a McCoy, go back and beat them. How far back? Xavier inquires interested. Not so far back that they would endanger their own existence, Raze considers. Like right after he was born. Xavier would be one. The X-Men won’t even see them coming. And this is the best part: If they lose, they can come back yesterday, grab themselves and keep the fight going. If they completely blow it, they could send themselves a message.
Xavier muses he could go back and save his father’s life. Raze warns him he can’t. The Phoenix killed him and he is not sure Xavier is at its level. If it killed Professor Xavier, it would kill him too. Timetravel gives him a headache, Xavier sighs. No kidding, Raze pans. Look what it did to McCoy.
Beast asks them not to do this. Raze asks why Xavier keeps letting go of his brain. He wants him to beg, is the reply. He orders McCoy to send them back in time. But what day? Raze wonders.
Suddenly there is a knock at the door. A messenger leaves a note. It turns out it’s from Raze. He’s written himself a message from the past. They do go back in time and get their butts kicked again but good. Their X-Men followed them. It didn’t go well. But there’s instructions on how to try again and win. Oh, they are good! This is good! They are all over this baby, he grins. Xavier announces they eliminate Jean Grey and end the X-Men forever.
Present:Diamond Emma hits Deadpool and Xorn and shouts at Cyclops to get Grey out. No, she can do this, Jean protests.
On the astral plane, Xavier asks what she is doing. New trick she learned, she replies as her eyes begin to glow. He shouts he knows everything about her. If he knew everything, what was about to happen wouldn’t be happening, she retorts, calling him a bastard.
And in reality, X-23 gets ready to attack him.

untitled
On the astral plane, Jean Grey is beset by young Xavier and the telepaths he controls.
In the real world, she contacts X-23, who is nearby, running toward them. Jean informs her of the situation with the Brotherhood. She is blocking Laura’s thoughts from Xavier, but is only able to do so because he is controlling so many minds at once.
In the meantime, the others are attacked by the Brotherhood. Shooting a laser at Emma, Deadpool asks if she will marry him.
Jean asks Laura not to hold back and Laura stabs Xavier in the gut. Nice, Jean smirks.
Those who were controlled or tortured by Xavier snap out of it.
X-23 attacks Deadpool next.
Is she okay? Phoebe asks Celeste who replies she is really not. That bald-headed prick used their hive-mind against them. “Let’s go turn him inside out!” She thinks Jean Grey has it, Phoebe informs her. Celeste swears. Why does Jean get all the fun?
Jean uses her new power set to keep Xavier at bay and thanks Laura. When Xavier is on the ground, Laura states she hopes no one has a problem with her ending this.
He’s going to have a bit of a problem with this! Raze shouts as he attacks her and rips into her. He turns into young Cyclops and X-23 realizes he was the one who ambushed her outside. Raze mocks he’d ask her out but they might be related or something. She might be his great-aunt!
Jean can’t get a shot at him. Cyclops tells her Laura has it and to focus on Xavier. You Greys! Xavier hisses and attacks Jean, Scott and Emma while Raze gains the upper hand as well.
With Xavier focused elsewhere, the Brotherhood seems to awake as if from a trance. Old Beast explains they have all been manipulated by young Xavier.
Having lost control of the situation as Kitty and the other X-Men arrive, Xavier takes over their minds and orders them all to kill each other. While the X-Men fight one another, Xavier orders the Brotherhood to kill them. Molly pleads with him not to do this. Beast tries to get him to see reason. Bathe in their blood, Xavier orders. Holding X-23 in a choke hold, Raze leers she’s going to want to watch this. Deadpool fires his gun… at Xavier. Jean telekinetically stops the bullets.
The battle is over. Iceman suggests to Xavier that this is the part where he bursts into tears and begs their forgiveness. X-23 throws Raze into a wall.
Xavier cannot understand why they are suddenly immune to his influence. Guess, Celeste mocks. Jean and the Cuckoos address him on the astral plane, ironically thanking him for reminding them what being a telepath who abuses his power would be like.
Utterly furious, he lashes out. But since they are prepared, he is no match for Jean’s new power and the Cuckoos’ mindlink. Suddenly, though, he is gone both from the astral plane and reality.
Old Beast explains he is blocking himself from them. He is hurt and trying to run. Is he okay? his younger self asks. Find him and kill him, old Beast pleads. Molly promises she is going to kill him. She promises she would never hurt the X-Men.
Magik announce she can find Xavier. Cyclops suggests they look for a blood trail, but keep their distance. What about stabby girl and her new playmate? Iceman asks. X-23 is going ballistic as she shouts at Raze not to touch her. Cyclops orders her back then fires his optic blast at Raze and Iceman freezes his arms to the wall.
Jean informs them that Raze is the only one not controlled by Xavier. Raze mutters they’ll just come back. Molly wants to kill him. Old Hank holds her back, reminding her they need to be not them. Young Hank would like to run some tests.
Emma turns to Xorn, who is standing still and asks if she would like to help them find her master. She’s been awfully quiet behind her Xorn mask. She can’t believe the great Jean Grey let Baby Xavier overtake—
Xorn takes off the mask and there is nothing behind it. The costume collapses into a heap. Baby Xavier made himself a Xorn puppet to play with, Emma comments. Jean wonders what that means. The last time the Brotherhood attacked, Xorn was an older her. And she died.
Maybe it means Jean has half a chance of not turning into a beautiful nightmare that dies horribly, Emma suggests. Maybe Jean gets to die of old age… maybe she does eat the planet as the Phoenix… any of those…
She found Xavier! Magik manifesting Darkchilde traits announces. She teleports them outside, where a bleeding Xavier lies next to the Ice-Hulk. Is he dead? Kitty asks. Mindee tells her he isn’t. Celeste suggests returning in an hour to see if he is dead then. Scott refuses. Emma suggests a vote. Today their lesson is to be better than their enemies, Scott announces. Deadpool recalls he doesn’t go to school here. Jean points out Xavier came here to kill Scott. Yeah, Scott replies and remembers killing Charles Xavier.
Later, the freed Brotherhood members stand on a time platform and apologize again. Emma assures them they did nothing wrong. Are they sure? Angel whispers to Jean, who assures him they are. They got it worse than the rest of them. Xavier may have been puppeteering them for years! Bobby asks them to get the Ice-Hulk out. He’s freaking him out.
Hank announces the time cube is ready to send them back to the future. In theory, his older self adds. Young Hank asks if he can help him to get the original X-Men back to their own time. Old Hank replies that he spent his life trying to fix that mistake. Maybe this interaction will jar something in young Hank or in space and time that wasn’t there before and they will find their way home. But there are things like what happened before that they are going to blame him for. A lot of things… and sometimes they are going to be right. Promise him, however long it takes, fix their mess.
They’re out, bitches! Deadpool announces as the Brotherhood fades away. Time travel gives him a headache, Bobby sighs. Angel then asks what they are going to do with Raze and Xavier. Already taken care of, Jean replies.
SHIELD commander Maria Hill is invited to the Cage and is informed the X-Men dropped off two prisoners with clear instructions. They said these are hardened mutant criminals from the future and not to take off the power-dampening collar and not to stop medicating them… no matter what.
Hill is startled when she sees the first prisoner’s resemblance to Charles Xavier. She demands Agent Daisy Johnson investigate this. When the director asks what he should do, Hill tells him if the crazy-powered X-Men say not to take off the power-dampening collar, don’t take off the power-dampening collar!
Barely conscious, Xavier mumbles, asking if he can have a piece of paper. He needs to write a note.
Madripoor, years from now:Xavier is still musing. Let’s go back in time, Raze suddenly suggests. He points at Beast. Time travel guy here, he’s already messed up the entire mutant timeline. Let’s go back in time and kick their asses before they master magic and tech and all that. Let’s pull a McCoy, go back and beat them. How far back? Xavier inquires interested.
Suddenly there’s a knock on the door. Raze expects the X-Men. Xavier informs him it’s a messenger. The note is from Xavier and informs them they went back in time and where defeated but there’s instructions on how to try again. Xavier smiles darkly…
Present day:The New Xavier School:Angel thanks Laura. If she hadn’t come back this whole thing would have gone differently. He asks if she wants to go out. There is something called a Bob Evans 50 miles from here. Him and her? she asks. And Bob Evans, Warren replies. He’s sure he’s a pleasant fellow.
They fly? Laura asks. Well, he does most of the flying. Superman-reference high five! Laura ignores the hand. She won’t have him carry her. Undeterred, Angel gets a motorcycle. Laura smiles and hops on.
As they leave Cyclops wonders aloud if that is his motorcycle.

X-23 awakes, half-dressed in a beautiful if messy room, the balcony door wide open. Moments later, Warren returns from his morning flight and wishes her a good morning. Getting dressed, Laura asks where they are. One of his family estate getaways. She keeps forgetting how rich he is. She doesn’t remember ending up here. Warren reminds her about last night.
Flashback:How they drove to a club. Laura danced with abandon and Warren admired her. When a girl stroked his wings, Laura scared her off. Then a guy was annoyed by his wings and he and a few friends started a fight with Warren. Laura kicked their asses. When she popped out her claws, Warren held her back and flew out with her.
Present:That was fun, she recalls. That was just the first part, he teases. She reminds him he’ll have to buy Scott Summers a new motorbike. Laura begins a sentence, then suddenly deflects this may be the nicest room she’s ever been. Warren calls her out, she was going to say something else. Laura refuses to tell him. He likes it when she smiles. She tells him not to be weird. She should do it more often, he continues. Does he know about her past? she asks. He knows she is quite tortured about it. She thanks him. She needed this. So did he, Warren replies. He doesn’t even know which year this is.
Laura asks why he likes her. Jean is prettier. That’s not true, he points out. He is prettier, she continues. That is true, he agrees. She’s been through some stuff. She had to do things that she’ll never—
He tells her to stop trying to talk him out of enjoying her company. Can’t they just enjoy not being torn apart by a mutant-hating mob or mutant-hating mutants or just idiots who—
Laura looks down darkly. Why does he like her? He smiles. Laura smiles slightly. He grins. Laura wonders what the other X-Men are doing. He doesn’t care, he replies happily.
Meanwhile outside the New Xavier School:She doesn’t care, Jean Grey declares, arms crossed defiantly. She cares, Emma Frost retorts. She really does not, Jean insists and stresses she is not doing this. Emma calls her a liar because Jean agreed to have Emma train her. Jean corrects her; she was told Emma would train her. She didn’t agree to anything. Emma reminds her she is one of the few people on Earth who can teach her how to use her growing psychic powerset. She knows everything Jean doesn’t. Hit her! Jean refuses.
On a hill above, Iceman, Beast and Mindee are sharing an impromptu picnic and watch the show thanks to Mindee’s telepathy.
Hit her, Emma repeats. Jean grins smugly. She knows how this works. She tries to hit Emma and then Emma beats the hell out of her to prove how she doesn’t know to fight as well as Emma. She’ll beat her up and laugh. Plus, she’ll turn to diamond, so she doesn’t get hurt. Jean will get hurt. Emma tells Jean she wants to hit her and she’s giving her permission. She doesn’t actually, Jean tells her with a grimace. Emma has issues with her. Jean doesn’t even think about her. She has no issues with her, Emma smirks, calling her “darling.” Oh my God, you do! Jean bursts out. Her older self. She doesn’t have to be a telepath to read this loud and clear. Emma’s one true love is Scott Summers and his one true love was older Jean. Emma stops smiling,
Uh-oh, Bobby gasps and Mindee telepathically calls her sister to join them.
Emma has issues with her, Jean continues. Giant, unresolved issues. But adult Jean is long gone and young Jean is standing here. All fresh-faced and young and her worst nightmare. Can she go back inside now?
Emma smiles and suddenly Jean sees an image of how her older self caught Scott and Emma telepathically cheating on her. What was that? Jean asks confused.
Fight back! Emma repeats. Was that real? Jean bursts out. Emma bombards her with more images of Emma and Scott in intimate situations. Jean shouts at her to stop. She’s a kid! That’s inappropriate! Fight back, Emma repeats. Stop it! Jean shouts.
Goldballs, Benjamin Deeds and the other Cuckoos have joined the picnic. Here we go? Celeste grins.
Fight back, Emma goads Jean. It’s the fact Emma’s trying to make her mad that’s making her mad, Jean fumes. Uh-huh, Emma replies and shows her another memory of Scott telling Emma he chose her. Pissed off, Jean uses her new power and blasts Emma.
He thinks he speaks on behalf of all of them when he says ‘wow’, Bobby remarks. Despite the distance Emma glares at him. He thought her powers were broken, he mumbles. That was her, Celeste replies smugly.
Looking like her adult self, Jean walks toward Emma. Here’s the thing: everyone’s trying to make her crazy mad to see what will happen with her new powers, and she gets that, but she’s stuck in a time she doesn’t belong in, where she finds her legacy is nothing but total %&#. She sits down astride Emma. Her best friend just left for outer space with his dad, leaving Jean here with her.
The illusion dissipates. She doesn’t need any of them to make her crazy. She’s already there! And she’s fine! Hit me! Emma repeats.
Hank suggests they get Professor Kitty.
Kitty is in her quarters, chatting with Peter Quill aka Star-Lord via holographic communication. Laughing she calls him a liar. He tells her he’s glad this interstellar holographic communication thing works. She asks where he is. On his ship outside the Kree territories. Has she told him how much she hates outer space? Because of that thing where she was phased inside a giant space bullet and couldn’t find her way home? he asks. She may have mentioned it about 500 times. Like he wouldn’t mention it if it happened to him! He’s not making fun, Peter promises.
Everyone here is making fun because of that weird whatever it is she has with him. What’s weird about it? he asks. Everyone thinks she is dating a hologram. She kind of is, Peter points out. What is wrong with her that this is making her completely happy? He makes her completely happy? Peter repeats. Kitty is truck silent. He is very charming, he points out. Kitty muses that talking with someone half a galaxy away is not the most intimate setting. Peter has no problem having intimacy issues be one of the things they bond over.
She is asking when he is coming back to Earth when Bobby and Hank comes running into her room, exclaiming Jean and Emma are going to murder each other. Peter tells her if Jean goes full Phoenix let the last words she hears from him be Toldya!
Bobby mumbles he can’t believe she broke up with older him to date a hologram. Kitty orders him to shut up. Outside, she asks Illyana what is going on. Magik shushes her.
Some distance away, Jean and Emma are sitting on the ground, staring at each other in silence. Illyana explains it’s a psychic battle. They are locked in combat. They can’t get in, the Cuckoos add. The others wonder whether to run or pull them apart.
The silence continues until suddenly the two begin to giggle then laugh. That is so true, Jean announces. Emma helps her up. Jean continues she never thought about it that way. That is so funny! Well, she’s young, Emma replies.
The others wonder what happened. Taken aback, the Cuckoos explain Jean and Emma have bonded. They are friends now. Jean and Emma walk off arm in arm and Illyana announces this is the scariest thing she’s ever heard. And she grew up in hell. Literally.
Suddenly, the Cuckoos warn them of company and soon a Blackbird of the Jean Grey School lands. She thought the other X-Men didn’t know where they were, Jean announces. Emma calls that wishful thinking.
Adult Beast, Iceman and Storm exit and announce some of them are needed in Westchester. When Kitty asks what’s going on, Jean interrupts it’s the reading of the will of Charles Xavier.
The other X-Men agree and reveal Scott Summers needs to be there for the reading as well…
