Part Three: His Name Is Bishop, and Nothing Will Ever Be the Same
There was a story Lucas Bishop's grandmother once told him that he found frustrating. He had asked why the X-Men couldn't do anything to stop the Sentinels, the camps, or the miserable lives of mutants in the world. "But they did, Lucas," his grandmother had said. "I know you may find this hard to believe, but things could have been much worse."
She explained how, when she was much younger, the war between mutants and humans had gone on for so long it reached a fever pitch. Everyone was so tense that the tiniest incident could have sparked a full-scale war. Regrettably, there were people on both sides of the conflict who wanted to make this war a reality. She explained that the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants once plotted to kill a politician. Lucas asked why. His grandmother explained that this politician feared mutants and constantly tried to pass laws against them. From the sound of things, Lucas thought the man actually needed to die. "No, Lucas," his grandmother had said. "The X-Men don't kill just because they disagree with someone. And they fought for Kelly, and protected him, because they knew it was the right thing to do."
She asked Lucas to try to imagine the nightmare future that could have come to pass had Senator Kelly been assassinated by mutants. Thanks to the X-Men, however, people saw for the first time that not all mutants were a threat, and could live side-by-side with humans. If that's the case, Lucas asked, then why were they still in camps? His grandmother told him the future can be stubborn, but she had faith that this too would pass. She had hope for the future. Lucas didn't say this to his grandma, but he refused to believe her. The X-Men may have fought for the future—but he didn't think they fought hard enough.
Tunnels beneath Upstate New York...
Bishop remembers his grandmother's story while chasing Trevor Fitzroy through the bowels of an old tunnel system. According to some rumors, this area used to serve as a home of the X-Men. Fitzroy came there to obtain something—some kind of information about the past. Although Bishop comes as an officer of the X.S.E., he also comes for vengeance. He wants to make Fitzroy pay for what he did to Bishop's sister, Shard.
During a gunfight with Fitzroy and his cronies, Bishop charges up a burst of energy and directs it straight at Trevor's chest. It sends him crashing through one of the walls of the cave system. Bishop climbs through the hole in search of his target. Fitzroy, however, catches Bishop off-guard and grabs him from behind. He drains Bishop's mutant energy and uses it to open a portal. "Got to go," he says to Bishop, "... but say hi to your sister for me, okay?" Before Fitzroy can escape, however, Bishop regains himself and destroys Fitzroy's portal with an energy shot. He tells Fitzroy he will have the chance to say hi to Shard himself; he should have plenty of time for visitors once in the Pool.
With Fitzroy down, Bishop grabs him by the ankle and begins hauling him out of the caves. He hears something strange during his exit. The words "only we had known what she was capable of..." come from Fitzroy's pants pocket. Bishop turns his unconscious body over and pulls an ancient digital recorder from his pocket. "... supposed to save us, but instead..." the oddly familiar voice in the recorder says.
Bishop takes the recorder back to base and scrutinizes it. It isn't the voice itself he finds familiar, but the way its speaker speaks. She talks like an old-timer, like his grandmother. Her recording is a desperate warning. Bishop deciphers the words "traitor among us... false Hope... Cable wrong about this... massive casualties!" Incidentally, Bishop knows precisely whom the speaker is referring. He remembers his mother and other people in the camps talking about the red-haired monster that killed a million humans and caused all the misery mutants now face.
That was the day everything changed, Bishop later recalls. While sitting at his desk, Bishop's associates Malcolm and Randall enter and tell him they just received word of a massive riot in the Pool; rumor has it prisoners are disappearing into thin air. This can mean only one thing to Bishop: Fitzroy. Bishop, Malcolm and Randall head to the Pool immediately and arrive in the middle of a full-scale riot. A guard greets them and informs them all the high-powered mutants have vanished. Bishop scolds him for letting this happen; Fitzroy was supposed to be kept in complete isolation, away from all forms of life! He was, the guard insists! They have no idea what went wrong.
As soon as Bishop enters Fitzroy's former cell, he understands how the teleporter escaped. In the corner of the room lies the sapped corpse of a small rodent. "That dirty rat," Bishop says. Even a creature of that diminutive size gave Fitzroy enough energy to fuel his escape. Suddenly, Malcolm enters and tells Bishop he found something else he should see. He leads Bishop to a swirling vortex of energy, around which lay several drained human bodies. It seems Fitzroy teleported everyone out of there—almost everyone, that is. Without hesitation, Bishop starts toward the portal. Randall asks if he shouldn't wait; they have no idea where the portal leads. Yes they do, Bishop tells him; the portal leads to Fitzroy. He asks Malcom and Randall if they're coming too. They agree to go with him.
As a boy, Bishop would fantasize about time travel, mainly the chance to go back and get things right. Experiencing it now, he discovers it is nothing like he'd fantasized. It's grueling and painful. Bishop almost thinks he can feel time trying to push him back, telling him in its way that he doesn't belong anywhere else. However, Bishop trusts he and his allies will belong where they end up. Later in his life, he will come to realize they arrived where they did for a reason.
New York City. Early 1990's.
Malcolm, Randall and Bishop spill out of Fitzroy's portal onto the streets of Manhattan, feeling confused and sick. Nearby, some of the escaped prisoners from the Pool hijack a van filled with children. Bishop tells his men they don't have time to feel nauseous; they have to stop this mayhem immediately. Bishop has no idea where they are, or even if it's in the United States. At the moment, he doesn't care All he cares about is taking out Fitzroy for good.
Bishop brushes aside a panicked civilian and opens fire on Fitzroy's cronies. He grabs the first fugitive he incapacitates and throws him back toward Fitzroy's portal, intending to send him back to the future. Instead, the man hits the portal, which suddenly seems solid, and bounces back to the ground. He laughs at Bishop's ignorance. Didn't he know? Fitzroy's portal is a one-way trip. Bishop's heart sinks as he realizes they have followed Fitzroy into a blind alley, surrounded by the very mutants they had helped imprison. Fitzroy's men suddenly open fire on Malcolm and Randall, killing them both in cold blood. No, that wasn't right, Bishop later tells himself. I did this. I'd gotten them killed. They were dead because of me...
Enraged, Bishop unleashes a full-scale energy blast at the convicts who killed his men. He hears a voice from behind commanding him to stop what he is doing. Upon hearing this voice, Bishop suddenly realizes exactly where he landed. The X-Men—his heroes—are here. Storm asks who he is, but Bishop is so stunned he can barely eke out a response. He stands in awe of the ones of whom his grandmother always spoke. Unfortunately, he doesn't have time to talk with them, as he still needs to capture Fitzroy.
Cyclops refuses to let him leave. He tells Storm to go after the others while he deals with Bishop, firing an optic blast at his feet. Bishop takes offense at his presumptuousness and counterattacks. He absorbs and rechannels Cyclops's optic blast, sending it back at him in full force. The impact knocks the visor off of Cyclops's head. At this point, Iceman intervenes and encases Bishop in a block of ice.
Paralyzed inside the ice—but still able to hear—Bishop listens to the X-Men try to figure out his identity. If these are truly the X-Men, he wonders why they are worrying about him instead of chasing after Fitzroy and his army. Either way, he can do nothing but listen as they discuss what to do with him. Cyclops volunteers to bring him back to the professor. Storm, meanwhile, notices how similar his uniform looks to the X-Men's, but wonders why he carries a gun.
The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Westchester, New York.
Bishop wakes up in an unfamiliar room. He recalls how some people talk about waking up with a feeling of relief that what they just experienced was a bad dream. Bishop has never felt that. Instead, he usually wakes up and realizes he is back in his own waking nightmare. He often longs to return to his dreams. Now, the feeling is worse than ever; he is stuck in the past, more alone than he has ever been. Everyone he'd ever loved is gone. He pulls out the portable holographic projector containing the essence of his sister, Shard. Her living form is so close, but so distant.
“Nothing is ever truly gone, Lucas,” a voice says within his head. There, in Bishop's darkest moment, he meets Charles Xavier, the man whom he will come to love as a father. Xavier leads the X-Men, the team of mutant heroes from Lucas remembers from the stories of his youth. These mutants always did the right thing, no matter what, he remembers—even in a world that wanted them dead.
Bishop is honored to hear that Professor X wants him to join the X-Men. However, he doesn't know what to think, or how to even answer him. He meets Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, Iceman, Colossus and Gambit. Some of these X-Men look nothing like he had imagined. Others, particularly Gambit, look painfully familiar.
Bishop cannot tell if this is reality, or a dream. Later, he asks Professor X if he can leave. Of course, Xavier tells him; the school certainly isn't a prison. He reiterates, however, that he would like Bishop to stay. Bishop needs time to think about it. Professor X encourages him to take all the time he needs.
The more time Bishop spends at the Xavier Institute, the more his past feels immaterial. He begins to think it even belongs to someone else. One day, Professor X informs Bishop he is not the school’s only time-traveler. Nathan Christopher Summers, the mutant known as Cable, later knocks on Bishop’s door and asks if he has a minute to talk. He trudges in and plops down on Bishop’s armchair. Cable tells him he knows how it feels, more than he might think. They aren’t like the rest of the X-Men, he says. The others have no idea how it feels to be perpetually displaced in time. Lucas Bishop’s eyes narrow at the comparison. “But you came here by choice. I didn’t have that luxury,” Bishop says. Cable understands, but thinks both he and Lucas are there for a reason. He doesn’t believe there are any accidents in history.
Bishop would remember Cable’s words much, much later.
In the meantime, he joins the X-Men, throwing himself into the role just as he had done with the X.S.E. They fight against some of his old foes like Fitzroy, and some of the X-Men’s ancient foes like Apocalypse. They fight throughout the timestream, and in the furthest reaches of space. In time, Bishop grows to love the X-Men as he had loved his own family. He comes to think that maybe his nightmare of a future had been prevented. Maybe his presence in this time changed everything and created a new, better future.
Then, M-Day strikes. Bishop suddenly remembers his grandmother’s ominous words: all over the world, most mutants lost their special gifts. There were no more mutant babies. Bishop realizes he has not changed a thing. This is the same future, the same one that would damn millions of mutants. The final sign soon arrives, putting that last nail in his coffin of suspicion.
While using Cerebro, Professor X detects a massive new mutant spike. “That… may have just been the rebirth of hope,” Xavier says. All the X-Men start talking about it with excitement—a feeling Bishop cannot share. He has seen a future none of the others have. They have no idea what this event truly entails, or what this child will grow up to do. Worse, Bishop cannot share what he knows with anyone, because he has no proof but his memories, and memories, unfortunately, are not proof. He realizes he must take care of this situation on his own.
Sometime later, he meets with Cyclops and Emma Frost and expresses his disappointment over not being asked to join the team sent to Antarctica to confront the Marauders and rescue the baby. If he had wanted to be on the team, he should have been there earlier, Cyclops tells him. Bishop says he was investigating other problems at the time. This, of course, is a lie. He was busy trying to pinpoint the baby’s location on his own.
Emma Frost interjects and tells Bishop he is misinformed. The Purifiers do not have the baby; an X-Man does. He realizes the situation is slipping out of his control. Everything he knows and loves will soon be taken away. This time, however, he can do something about it. At that moment, the O*N*E Sentinels come crashing through the roof of the X-Mansion in full attack mode. Bishop shoots an assaulting Sentinel in the face.
While the X-Men regroup after the battle with the Sentinels, Lucas recalls the words of the Witness: the Son of Askani got to her first. And he hid her away… until it was too late. Bishop knows who has the baby: Cable. He knew long before the X-Men ever did. He also realizes that Cable cannot yet jump into the timestream because his time-travel technology was broken—and he knows the one place he can go to have it repaired.
A calm washes over Bishop as he arrives at Forge’s Aerie in Dallas, Texas. He realizes he is not a mere mutant, but an agent of fate, born to perform a specific function. His life makes little sense otherwise. It doesn’t take much convincing on his part to talk himself into doing what he must. He knocks Forge unconscious and waits for Cable to arrive with the mutant baby, telling himself the act will only be a few seconds of horror, and nothing more. He urges himself to not think about what he will see—the blood, the tiny fragments of skull—after he completes the kill.
Finally, Cable arrives. He immediately rushes over to help the fallen Forge. Bishop emerges from behind and shoots Cable in the back, sending the infant in his arms flying through the air. Think about the million dead humans. The face of your mother. How your father used to hold you tightly to his chest, Bishop tells himself as he maneuvers across the floor.Just pull the trigger and the nightmare will finally be over. For everyone.
With his gun drawn, Bishop approaches the helpless, swaddled infant. His name is Lucas Bishop, he reminds himself. He is a child of the atom, raised in a future that no longer exists. He aims his handgun at the infant’s head. I was born for this, Bishop thinks… wasn’t I?

Dial M for Wanda
'What have you got?' Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, leader of X-Factor Investigations asks his teammate, Daken, who sniffs some bushes on Krakoa. 'This is where the struggle started' Daken announces as he turns back to Northstar. Northstar looks over at Rachel Summers a.k.a. Prestige, another of his teammates, and asks her if she can chronoskim to verify. 'Yeah' Rachel replies, and psychic energy begins to glow around her as she begins to use her chronoskimming abilities to see into the past. 'That is...if it's all right with our X-Men and X-Force babysitters, of course' Northstar snaps as X-Force's Logan a.k.a. Wolverine and Neena Thurman a.k.a. Domino stand nearby, alongside the X-Men's Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine and Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch. 'Tch' Logan mutters as he crosses his arms, while Rachel's warwolf pup, Amazing Baby, looks up at her as she begins to levitate above the ground.
Domino assures Northstar that they are here to help, and reminds him that X-Force was working event security for the Hellfire Gala the night the Scarlet Witch died. 'X-Force was “working” “event” “security” “here” for the Hellfire Gala while a woman was murdered here' Northstar replies angrily as he looks over at Domino, before pointing out that investigating deaths is what X-Factor does. 'Mind removing that stick from yer butt, bub?' Logan asks. 'The stick stays' Northstar snaps, before Rachel telepathically tells everyone to be quiet. 'I need the ride-alongs to stay quiet. I have enough chronology to muck out as it is without your “helping” adding even more $#%& on top of what I have to dig out first' Rachel declares. Everyone falls quiet, and Rachel tells them that is better.
Northstar then instructs Daken to continue tracking from the first struggle. 'All right, from here then...' Daken begins while Rachel's chronoskimming enables her to see Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch running through the bushes from her assailant. '... here. She fought free. Started to run' Daken continues as he traces Wanda's scent. 'How far?' Northstar asks him. Daken reports that she managed two or three running steps east before being grabbed again, this time from behind. 'Then another struggle?' Rachel asks. 'Yeah – got a bead on her event sequence now?' Daken asks as he looks behind some other bushes. Rachel announces that she can just barely see Wanda, but that there is still way too much temporal residue muddying up the view between her and actually seeing who has got her, though.
Daken suggests that they keep going, and alerts everyone to a big gap in the leaves, indicating that she was dragged backwards. 'Forced outta sight. That's how the grass got torn up here?' Laura asks, pointing at the ground. She was kicking and digging her heels in' Daken tells his sister. 'Wanted to make things harder for her attacker' Logan suggests. 'Good for her' Northstar remarks, before calling out to Rachel, who, upon seeing Wanda's feet kicking about in the bushes and digging into the ground, reports that she can confirm that is what happened. Daken looks over at Northstar and asks 'What's up? You look...well, like yourself, but somehow more so than usual'. Northstar suggests that none of this adds up, and asks everyone how one gets the jump on a sorcerer who controls all reality. 'What kind of monster would it take to bring her down at all, let alone like this? She's the Scarlet Witch!'
'Obvious signs of a struggle' Sage comments as she stands in the Boneyard's corpse gardens, looking down at a table where Wanda Maximoff's body has been set down. Sage's X-Force teammate Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast is with her, as are Dr Cecilia Reyes, Josh Foley a.k.a. Elixir of the Five, and two more of X-Factor Investigations – Trevor Hawkins a.k.a. Eye-Boy and David Alleyne a.k.a. Prodigy, who exclaims 'We know. Eye-Boy and I extensively catalogued them in the pathology report already'. The Beast assures Prodigy that X-Force is just here to review X-Factor's findings. 'You don't mind, do you?' the Beast asks. 'I kinda do' Prodigy replies as he keeps his attention on his tablet, where looks at the screen. 'Since when are forensic autopsies a spectator sport?' Prodigy asks, looking up to the observation booth that looks down into the Healing Gardens, where Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops, Jean Grey and Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris can all be seen, along with the rest of the Five – Hope, Egg, Tempus and Proteus.
Polaris, now with the X-Men, waves at her former X-Factor teammates, as Cyclops asks if they can please keep this rolling. 'Go a a lot faster if y'all stopped interrupting it' Prodigy mutters. The Beast notes that Wanda's gloves her torn, and that there is blood under her nails, likely to be the attacker's. 'No, that's her blood' Eye-Boy suddenly declares. Eye-Boy walks around Wanda's body as he remarks 'This stuff here? Under her nails? Same stuff as... um, all the rest here'.
'I smell her blood... starting here. Only hers' Daken tells the others.
'She was – she was -' Eye-Boy begins, struggling to get his words out.
'She was dragged backwards by the neck. One arm booked around her throat, and the attacker's other hand was shoving hard against the back of her head – like this Daken explains, demonstrating with his own hands. 'She wouldn’t have -' someone begins to say.
'She couldn't breathe. The tissue damage right here? That's what that means. So she was using both hands, to, um, like – to.... pull at -' Eye-Boy tries to explain, while Prodigy comes to his assistance, explaining that Wanda was fighting so hard to remove the airflow obstruction crushing her windpipe that her fingernails ripped back andshe began bleeding from her nail beds. 'Yeah' Eye-Boy agrees, thanking David, he reports that Wanda was clawing at the murder weapon, not her attacker, because there is no biological trace evidence that isn't hers.
Logan asks Daken what else he smells. 'You're missing something' he tells his son. 'There's something inorganic' Daken reports. Rachel then sees in her chronoskimming something has bound Wanda's hands behind her back, but there is no one doing it. 'So it's either magic, or -' Rachel begins.
'Metallic' Polaris utters, going  wide-eyed with shock.
Daken alerts the others to a blood pattern on the ground, explaining that it shows where Wanda's hands were bound, just like Rachel said. Northstar suggests that might explain why Wanda wasn't using her magic to defend herself, but now how the murderer was able to get so close to her in the first place. 'Because they knew her. Someone close to her – someone she maybe even trusts' Daken replies. 'Someone she trusts... who was wearing a white cape?' Rachel telepathically asks her teammates. 'You say you saw someone in a white cape here? Where the body was found?' Daken asks. Rachel telepathically tells him that she sees them walking directly away from Wanda's dead body. 'She  died of strangulation. You see any of that?' Daken asks. Rachel tells him that she doesn't, but that she is betting pathology will corroborate that a strange hands-free type of metal killed her – the same kind she also saw being used to cuff her – so this is definitely their guy.
Northstar hovers in the air as he reminds everyone that he saw exactly the way Wanda was laid here that night – so deliberately – and tells them that this was not an act of rage or a crime of passion. He adds that, at the time, he thought it was just because they had heard people approaching and left in a rush, but now he wonders if they wanted to make sure her body was found quickly. 'There were no marks on her face. Indicating the killer was... fond of Wanda. Paternal, even' Northstar adds.
Back in the Boneyard, Cecilia leans over Wanda's body and tells the others that they will notice a bruising pattern o nher wrists, indicating her hands were bound. 'Bound behind her back, actually – we figured that out when I x-rayed her injuries' Eye-Boy explains. 'He's right, Hank' Sage tells the Beast. The Beast looks at Eye-Boy and declares that Sage is a forensics expert with biokinetic genetic sight, and asks him how it is that he can “see”, for example, all of the blood on Wanda's body belonging to her. 'Oh, uh, well, for one thing – I can see enchantment. Wanda has a lot of magic in her blood' Eye-Boy explains. 'Remarkable' the Beast utters. 'Thanks!' Eye-Boy replies, adding 'I also have microscopic and x-ray visions, can see gamam, UV, electromag -' Eye-Boy says, before Prodigy cuts him off, pulling up the x-rays Eye-Boy pulled on his tablet.
'You can see stress fractures on Wanda's ulnar bone and soft tissue damage around her rotator cuff from repeated strain' Prodigy remarks, adding that Dr Reyes and Elixir can verify. Cecilia agrees and reports that the atrophy she can sense puts this happening at about sixty seconds before her death at 2:56 AM. 'Which, um...well, after Eye-Boy reviewed the inorganic particulates found in the soft tissue damage on her throat...we determined cause of death was... strangulation by means of supernatural magnetization' Cecilia announces. Polaris, who has been listening to all of this, frowns, before turning to Cyclops and Jean and asks them to give her a head start.
Elsewhere on Krakoa, within the Grove, where the Quiet Council is currently meeting. 'FOOLS!' Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a. Magneto shouts as he hurls his chair across the Grove. At least make an attempt to comport yourself with decorum, Magneto' Bennet du Paris a.k.a. Exodus suggests as he telekinetically grabs the chair before it does any damage to the Grove. 'Look. She's human, she's hated and she's dead' Nathaniel Essex a.k.a. Mr Sinister points out as he looks at his gloved hand. Magneto turns to Sinister, who adds 'Why are we even bothering to debate the matter?' Magneto grabs Sinister by his throat and looks down at him as he stands over him. 'Because you're all willfully making a choice to endanger the Krakoan experiment' Magneto replies, adding that he finds the offense especially egregious when it is otherwise so easily corrected.
'Erik' Professor Charles Xavier calls out, calmly resting his head on his hands. Magneto lets Sinister' go as he turns to Xavier, who points out that Magneto is somewhat correct on one score – they do have a choice to resurrect the Scarlet Witch. Xavier adds that this is an entirely unique choice, at that – one not afforded to any other, seeing as Wanda and Pietro are the sole non-mutants to deceive Cerebro long enough for there to be actual backups. 'Very, very old backups, but...yes, they are there' Xavier confirms. Xavier suggests to the rest of the Council that if they find the subject at hand too difficult to discuss, then they will simply proceed straight to the vote and no longer entertain Magneto's debate tactics. 'You will get nowhere with pageantry and threats in here' Xavier warns Magneto. Raven Darkholme a.k.a. Mystique tells Magneto that he seems very interested in the Scarlet Witch's resurrection. 'One might begin to suspect you have ulterior motives' Mystique adds. Xavier informs the Council that he has been told X-Factor is closing in on their prime suspect as they speak. 'Are they, now?' Mystique asks. She smirks wickedly as she remarks that it is interesting only one person has noticeably evaded X-Factor's investigation attempts at every turn – and here he is, aggressively campaigning for the victim's resurrection. 'Why is that, Erik? Covering your tracks?' Mystique suggests.
Xavier tells Mystique that is enough, and states that X-Factor's forensic pathology unit is concluding Wanda's autopsy at this very moment with the X-Men in attendance. 'What?' Magneto asks. Xavier explains that it is a transparency measure, and that the autopsy is being conducted in the X-Factor corpse gardens where there is an operating theater. 'You allowed multiple potential suspects with supernatural abilities to remain present at the time of her autopsy? Have you all lost your minds?' Magneto exclaims. He raises his voice as he points out that someone could be tampering with the evidence. 'Sounds like a convenient excuse for whoever finds themselves accused' Emma Frost suggests casually as she sits next to her fellow Hellfire Club associates Kate Pryde and Sebastian Shaw. 'ENOUGH!' Charles Xavier declares as he stands up and leans across the table in front of him.
Xavier then gets to the point and asks if there is anyone in favor of a non-mutant resurrection for the Scarlet Witch. 'Oh, Kate. Really?' Emma mutters as she sees Kate Pryde raise her hand. 'Look, all I know is Krakoan resurrection is inexact. It's art, not science' Kate replies, suggesting that they have no right to deny resurrection privileges from someone when they have every means of providing it, and nothing to lose by doing so. 'We'd be losing a world free of Wanda...' Emma points out. Xavier looks around and sees that only Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler has also raised his hand. 'Very well. Three votes in favor' Xavier points out, taking into account Magneto's vote. 'And those opposed?' Charles asks. Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm, Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, Mystique, Exodus and Sinister all raise their hands.
'Then it's settled' Xavier begins, announcing that the Scarlet Witch's closest friends and Avengers associates will be immediately informed of her murder, and that they are taking the appropriate actions to seek justice on her behalf, and when they may come and collect her remains. Xavier maintains his emotionless position as he tells Magneto that he is sorry for his loss, but that they cannot resurrect the Scarlet Witch. 'You...can. You just simply refuse' Magneto responds. He starts to walk towards Xavier, and raises a hand as he tells the rest of the Council that they are all choosing to suddenly honor the same arbitrary limitations they have long since abandoned for themselves. Xavier suddenly appears to be in pain as Magneto begins to crush his head, covered by the Cerebro helmet.
'STOP!' Nightcrawler exclaims as he teleports towards Xavier, as blood trickles from Xavier's nose. Kate rushes over to Magneto and phases her hand into his head, warning him to stand down, or else she will peel the brain stem right out of his spinal cord like a Twizzler. Xavier gasps for breath as he removes his Cerebro helmet. Kate pulls her intangible hand from Magneto's head as Magneto tells the others that this is a choice they all are making – and that it is the wrong one. 'Then... that is still our mistake to make' Xavier replies.
Nightcrawler teleports away, while Xavier stands and faces Magneto, telling him that this behavior is beneath him. Lightning crackles around Storm as she reminds Magneto that he is not the most powerful mutant in the room anymore. 'Look at you, mired in your methods of force like a tired old fighting dog' Mystique declares. 'Bludgeoning a path toward whatever it is you want that now you've lost sight of the fact that not all will be amenable to you bullying' Mystique adds.
“Bullying” Magneto quotes. 'Another hopelessly antediluvian human concept. Although I suppose even an anthill appears massive to the piteously small' Magneto snarls. He boasts that he carved himself out of torture to stand tall upon the ruins of his subjugation. 'I made a choice' he declares as he turns and starts to leave the Grove, the other Council members watching him leave. 'Let's see how well time will test yours' Magneto calls back to them.
Magneto makes his way out into a large open space on Krakoa where a celebration is underway. 'To the death of the pretender!' someone shouts, while others scream and shout in agreement. Magneto says nothing as he passes several happy young mutants gathered around a bonfire. Suddenly, Northstar flies in front of Magneto, blocking him from walking any further. 'What is the meaning of this?' Magneto asks when he looks past Northstar and sees Cyclops, Jean Grey, Polaris, both Wolverines, Daken, Synch and Rachel Summers gathered. 'Ah, I see. You think I killed Wanda' Magneto snarls. 'You need to come with us now, Erik' Northstar states. Magneto scowls and replies 'No' as he hovers in the air and shards of scrap metal begin to float around him.
Meanwhile, at the Boneyard, home of X-Factor. Northstar's husband, Kyle Jinadu-Beaubier is about to climb the staircase that runs through the center of the building when he sees Tommy Shepherd a.k.a. Speed in the corpse garden, standing over the table where his mother, the Scarlet Witch, was laid. Kyle calls out to Tommy and enters the corpse garden. 'Hey, Kyle. I couldn't leave her all alone' Tommy explains. Kyle tells Tommy that he doesn't think he should be in here all alone. 'No, I mean – look at her body' Tommy replies. Kyle gasps as he looks down at the table, and finds it completely covered in plant matter, and the Scarlet Witch's body cannot be seen. 'I... I don't know... she's in there... somewhere' Tommy utters. Tommy reveals that he called his brother, but that there has been some sort of space emergency so he hasn't been able to get in touch with him. 'Oh god -' Kyle utters as he gives Tommy a hug. 'Billy gets magic stuff. He would know what this is' Tommy adds, before revealing that he doesn't think Billy knows their mom is dead.
At the Krakoan Gate in Manhattan, Captain America, Iron Man and the Wasp have gathered near the gate, which is covered in beautiful flowers. 'Pretty. Sort of. What do you think it means?' Iron Man asks. The Wasp tells him that she doesn't know, but that it is giving her the willies. Captain America frowns as he asks the Vision why he called them and told him to meet him here. The Vision appears and announces that this is the precipitously rare everbloom blossom, impossible to grow in low altitude, tropical climates. 'This isn't native to Krakoa, I take it' the Wasp replies. 'So...you gathered us because you're...excited to show us an endangered plant?' Iron Man asks. The Vision frowns as he reveals that he summoned them because this is Wanda's favorite flower, and that he has been told she never returned from the Hellfire Gala. 'By whom?' one of the others asks. Suddenly, the Krakoan gate opens, and Xavier steps through. 'Me' he declares, before thanking “Vision and friends” for meeting him. He remarks that he wanted to tell them in person, as he is afraid he has some bad news. A moment later, the Vision keels over, and Captain America helps him stand, while the Wasp covers her face in shock at the news Xavier reveals to them.
Back at the Grove, Laura and Logan both leap towards Magneto, but he manages to keep them at bay, holding them back by using his control over metal against their adamantium skeletons. 'You never learn' Magneto tells Wolverine, while more and more shards of metal swirl around him. 'Nah, I just never gave a $%^& what you did to me' Logan replies, before motioning to Synch and Daken who rush up behind Magneto while Wolverine occupies his attention. 'Now them on the other hand -' Logan begins, as Daken leaps at Magneto and shoves his claws through Magneto's back. Magneto screams in pain, while Daken leans into him and tells him that there is an adamantium inside him to manipulate. 'Kids these days, eh' Wolverine grins as he looks up from the ground. But, an instant later, it's Daken who screams in agony, as Mangeto uses his powers to hurl dozens of metal shards into his back. 'I don't require metal inside you in order to make you suffer – there's more than enough metallic ore in Krakoa's soil for that!' Magneto announces, before he shakes Daken off of him.
The metal flying around Magneto suddenly closes in on him, and he assumes that a power-leech is using his powers against him. 'Synch, is it? Show yourself!' Magneto shouts as he resists the attack, and diverts the dozens of shards of metal backwards towards the mutants nearby. 'Everyone – take cover!' Jean calls out as she throws a telekinetic shield around herself, Cyclops, Rachel, Northstar and Synch, while outside, Logan covers Laura with his own body to protect her, several metal shards plunging into his back as he does so. Magneto shakes his fist, 'Arrgh! Let me finish them!' he exclaims as he tells Synch that if he is going to borrow his powers to wield against him, then to come out and fight him like a man. 'Okay' Polaris responds as she appears in front of her father, several beams of magnetic energy flickering around her. Magneto tells his daughter to cease this foolishness, to which Polaris asks him if that is what he told Wanda.
Magneto and Polaris' powers clash, as Magneto reminds his daughter that she once asked him how he would describe her personality, and assumed that he had no answer, when actually, he was merely biting his tongue. 'I now believe it was an error on my part to spare your feelings at the cost of your grasp on reality' Magneto announces. Polaris listens, as her father tells her that if she were to ask him again he would tell her the truth – that she so desperately lacks an understanding of – that she is unhinged and inconsistent at best. This distracts Lorna, who loses her concentration over her powers which are blocking the metal shards her father hurls at her. She screams as one of them slices her right arm, while Jean Grey quickly throws a shield up around Lorna to protect her from other shards, and Cyclops fires an optic blast which destroys one of the metal blades.
Jean goes over to Polaris and helps her, while the others all gather around them. 'How many women is it now you once claimed to love who all perished during your brief window of affection and attention?' Polaris asks, telling her father that he leaves a trail of dead wives and dead daughters behind in his wake, and that breaking people down to make them more biddable has always been his modus operandi. Tears stream down her face as Polaris reminds her father that he tried to break her, too – tried to rearrange the pieces of her into his perfect daughter. 'But you failed. Your efforts backfired and you only made me stronger!' Polaris exclaims as she unleashes a wave of magnetic energy, while the others all rush towards Magneto. Synch joins up with Polaris' powers as Polaris asks Magneto if this is what happened to Wanda – if his efforts at making her more biddable to his machinations failed, so he cleaned up after himself. 'YOU KILLED HER?' Polaris screams.
'GET DOWN!' Cyclops shouts at everyone as he unleashes a powerful optic blast at Magneto – but suddenly, someone – or something – speeds past him and grabs Magneto, whose helmet drops to the ground with a thud. 'What? Where did he go?' Cyclops asks as he picks up Magneto's helmet. The others gather around, while up above, something quickly punches Magneto repeatedly, hard and fast – it's Wanda's brother, Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver. 'STOP!' Northstar shouts as he flies up and grabs Quicksilver, pulling him away from Magneto. Quicksilver looks furious, but Northstar grabs his fists and tells him that is enough. They drop to the ground, where Magneto's unmoving body has  fallen. 'I ALWAYS KNEW IT WOULD BE YOU, MAGNETO! I ALWAYS KNEW IT WOULD BE YOU WHO KILLED HER! JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT DOING!' Quicksilver shouts, while Northstar holds him back from speeding over to the motionless Magneto.
The others arrive, and Jean goes to Magneto's side as she tells Rachel to help her get Magneto to the Healing Gardens. 'SHE WAS ONLY EVER BROKEN IN YOUR EYES, MAGNETO!' Quicksilver shouts as Northstar grabs him and flies him up into the air. 'But she was...she was just unwell!' Quicksilver utters. Pietro remarks that his sister was just a very sick woman, that she just needed help – some %$^&*!%* compassion for once. 'Pietro... I know. I know' Northstar replies as he hugs Quciksilver, hovering high above the ground. 'It's my job to protect her...and I failed...how could I fail?' Pietro asks.
Later, inside the Healing Gardens, Jean, Logan and Cyclops stand around Magneto's body, which is encased in a protective shield. Jean tells Scott and Logan that Dr Reyes said Healer or Elixir would be able to wake Magneto up whenever X-Factor returns for questioning, but that he is stable for now. 'Comatose, you mean' Wolverine remarks, adding that Quicksilver was a heartbeat away from killing him, out of his mind with rage and grief. Jean points out that it is a good thing Northstar intervened, or Charles would have another Maximoff murder incident to inform the Avengers. Logan asks Jean if she can’t just take a peak under the hood to find Magneto killing Wanda. 'Why delay the inevitable?' he asks. 'That depends' Jean replies. 'On?' Scott asks. 'On what his subconscious is up to, because right now that'd be what's at the forefront of his mind, and the mind's a lawless place. I'd need Emma's help' Jean explains. Cyclops tells her that he is sure that can be arranged. But Jean delves into Magneto's mind anyway, and sees him surrounded by death while he screams 'NOOOOOOOOO'. 'No, it can't. A nightmare can't confess' Jean utters.
Meanwhile, at the Green Lagoon, where the Blob and Anole are cleaning glasses behind the bar. The Green Lagoon is relatively empty, save for Mastermind and Toad, who sit at the bar, several drinks in front of him. Quicksilver soon walks up and joins them, sitting next to Toad. Gale-force pain slams into you with a shocking blast. Loss levels you. You were not prepared. After a time, you begin to right yourself. I am healing, you may think. I am moving on. Quicksilver signals to the Blob for a drink. 'To simpler times' Mastermind remarks, raising a glass. His former Brotherhood of Evil Mutants teammates – Toad, Blob and Quicksilver – all look over to him. 'The good ol' days...' Toad's voice trails off, before the four men take a drink.
'This isn't right? How could this happen?' Toad exclaims, slamming his glass on the bar. 'It's not FAIR!' the Toad shouts as he hurls his glass across the bar. 'No! Stop breaking my glassware, Toad! Get out!' the Blob declares as he sees the Toad pick up another glass and prepare to throw it. Anole puts a stop to that by extending his tongue and wrapping it around Toad's wrist. Toad sobs as he wanders off, while Quicksilver holds up his glass and takes a sip. 'To Wanda' he utters, before tears fall down his face as he adds 'May her weary, troubled soul... finally be at peace'.
But then comes a moment in which you unexpectedly recall all that has been lost. And with this, in bursts a bitterly efficient new wind. One that slices cleanly through all the fresh protective layers you'd managed to build back up around your healing heart. It carves open the promise of a scar and leaves you gasping for air in one cold, swooping gust. It levels you again. You may have to repeat this process several more  times before realizing that you simply must stay down. This is just how your life will be from now on. You have no choice but to permanently accommodate the hurting wind because there is no evading the pain. It never leaves you. But you become more adept at managing it. Eventually, your grief becomes background ache. Then, the wind knifes and bites through the nothingness you left standing in its path as it blows. Hurting, yet harmless. A lonely wind left howling its pain throughout all the blackened empty spaces where a love once tended to used to live. Whistling through the haunted ruins of you. 'My winds howl in the millions. I am the Scarlet Witch' Wanda Maximoff thinks to herself as Wanda Maximoff opens her eyes, and finds herself floating in a nothingness.
Wanda looks at herself – her costume is white, but begins to turn red and pink as blood seeps through. She looks shocked as she looks up and sees a cloaked figure holding a blade, which they pull out of Wanda's chest and vanish. Wanda clutches her wound as she thinks to herself that she is intimately acquainted with grief. Every single person I have ever harmed – I grieved for them all. I ache for what has been lost. What I have caused. A tempest of anguish. 'Ha... see you... next round' Wanda calls out to her murderer. The blood flowing from Wanda's wound turns into petals, which flow around her as she begins to grieve for herself – because she was killed. The petals form beautiful flowers, as Wanda thinks to herself 'I died, and yet... I know that I am now dead'.

Welcome to Krakoa
Erik Lensherr a.k.a. Magneoto sits on a bed reading a book. He suddenly sighs and looks up over his glasses. 'Enjoy the view?' he asks. There is no response, so he gets off the bed, leaving his book behind, he walks out of the bedroom and down a corridor lined with sheer curtains that blow into the corridor in a light wind. 'Charles? I know you're here' Magneto calls out, frowning. There is still no response. 'You forget I have decades of experience when it comes to recognizing the grating presence of your telepathic needling' Magneto adds, before sighing once more. 'What game are you even playing at, Charles?' Magneto calls out. He asks if he is being surveilled alone in his own home in the hopes that he might just happen to confess to murder while talking aloud to himself? Suddenly, the landscape around him changes, and dozens of staircases leading in different directions can be seen.
'Sorry, it's my fault' Hope Summers tells Professor Charles Xavier as the two of them stand over Magneto's body in the Healing Gardens. Xavier tells Hope that it is all right, and explains that he should have warned her that Magneto is formidable at evading psychic inquiry even without his helmet. 'Well, I would resist being tortured too' Hope replies. 'This isn't -' Xavier begins, but Hope frowns as she interrupts him: 'Yes, it is'. Xavier sighs and explains to Hope that they are presenting Magneto's mind with different scenarios intended to make him feel at ease. 'Going out of our way to ensure his comfort is -' Xavier starts to say, before Hope interrupts him again: 'Tactical manipulation. To extract a confession'. Xavier frowns at Hope as he tells her that finding the truth isn't torture. But Hope suggests that it isn't “finding the truth” when gestait techniques are being used to force a confession. 'You had to know I wouldn't be happy about being asked to help with this at all, let alone that you expect me to keep it a secret from the rest of the Five' Hope adds. Xavier tells Hope that he knows, and that he is so sorry to have to involve her in such a sensitive matter, before suggesting they finish their unfortunate yet necessary work and be done with it. As they turn their attention back to Magneto, Hope asks 'Why not ask Jean? Or Emma?' to which Xavier informs her that they are busy with an urgent matter of diplomacy, as Krakoa receive s its first official guests today.
At that moment, Wolverine a.k.a. Logan, Jean Grey and Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops look up to the sky as an Avengers Quinjet descends on their home. Several young mutants watch from nearby trees, as four long-serving Avengers emerge from the Quinjet – Captain America, Iron Man, the Wasp and the Vision. The two groups look at each other in silence for a time as leaves blow around them, before Jean crosses over to the Vision and hugs him, telling him that they are sorry for his loss. Cyclops then shakes Captain America's hand, before Jean hugs the Wasp. Cyclops tells Cap that since this is their first visit to Krakoa, they had hoped to give them a tour of the island and show them around before they retrieve Wanda's remains. 'Would that be okay?' Cyclops asks. 'Yes. That'd be nice' Cap responds.
The group pass from gate to gate as the senior Avengers are given their tour of the new mutant nation. Wolverine has left the tour, but Cyclops and Jean have been joined by their X-Men teammates Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine and Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch. As they pass under a body of water, Polaris' thoughts are projected to Jean: '$#%&! It's too late for a detour, and Hope isn't in the Hatchery right now to telepathically mask the place. Jean, you're going to have to erase their memories to protect the secret of resurrection' she suggests, while Synch points at something up ahead and explains to Captain America and the others that the goal was to give water-based mutants a habitat that allowed accessibility to Krakoan facilities. 'Follow this way, through the gate...' he begins, while Wolverine, at his side, frowns. As the Avengers pass through the gate, Jean telepathically tells Lorna that she isn't sure she is comfortable carrying out such a massive breach of diplomacy. 'Well, the alternative is a massive breach of Krakoan state secrets' Lorna replies. Jean tells her that there has to be another way.
But, as Lorna and Jean pass through the gate, Lorna realizes that it looks like someone else figured it out already. Iron Man can be seen smiling, while everyone else looks confused, as Emma Frost and the Stepford Cuckoos appear before them, sunbathing on a beach. 'Hello, boys' Emma smiles as she walks over to Iron Man and Captain America. 'Afternoon, ma'am' Cap replies. 'Ugh' Emma mutters, to which Iron Man tells Frost to go easy on Cap, as “Ma'am” is the feminine honorific in the century he hails from. Unmasked, Iron Man – Tony Stark – leans into Emma and tells her that, from one modern business mogul to another, her tangible assets are looking very valuable at the moment. 'Exceptionally well developed' Tony adds.
Unimpressed, Emma asks the Cuckoos if they heard anything. 'No, mother' the Cuckoos respond in unison, while Emma and the Wasp kiss each other on the cheek. 'Good to see you, Janet' Emma tells the Wasp, who apologizes about Iron Man. 'He's feral. You know how it is'. 'I most certainly do know, Wasp, darling' Emma agrees, hands on hips, she stands with the Stepford Cuckoos. The other members of the Five – Egg, Elixir, Tempus and Proteus – can be seen standing to their side, as they're not really on a beach, but in Arbor Magna, which leads to the Hatchery. Emma telepathically tells Polaris not to worry, as the Avengers can't see or hear a thing of Arbor Magna behind them. 'They just think we're out here sunbathing' Emma assures her.
Elsewhere on Krakoa inside the House of M, Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar, Akihiro a.k.a. Daken and Rachel Summers a.k.a. Prestige stand around the cocoon-like matter that has surrounded itself around the Scarlet Witch's body. Northstar tells his X-Factor teammates that they have searched this place from top to bottom to find clues as to Magneto's movements in his home just before the Hellfire Gala, and asks what the anomaly is. 'The cradle's empty' Daken states. 'Correct. The missing Cerebro helmet has to be connected to Wanda's murder' Northstar replies. Rachel offers to chronoskim to see who stole the Cerebro unit from its cradle, while Daken remarks that he wonders if it was taken to keep Magneto from using it to force Wanda's resurrection through. Rachel watches the recent events play out before her and reports that Magneto took the Cerebro unit himself.
Here's what I've learned about magic.
Magic knows no master.
It belongs to neither gods nor man.
It is the in-between. The fraying edge between reality and unreality. A hidden string secretly linking all things that only the adroit may tug free.
It's a threshold crossed only be rote or by rites. A clandestine path choosing who among the ceaseless quests fumbling toward divinity are the truly worthy.
It is the moon's gentle glissando of tides and all the liminal pools of life it leaves behind – each one glimmering and small and infinitely lonely.
It is the place none can follow, and implication lurking behind worlds, the coil of rope before it cinches in purpose – to rescue or ruin.
There is magic even in the intent driving a dagger.
One may become adept in magic's navigation; but never in its dominion.
Because magic rules itself.
And mortality simply bears witness.
In some strange in-between real, the soul, or essence, or lifeforce of Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch floats. She thinks to herself that magic is lawless, that she coalesces into being from  the yearning clutches of eternity, drawing forth new form out of void, stardust and darkness. 'And then I run before the cloaked figure reappears and kills me once more. It isn't a normal death. I burst apart into fragments of life like vestigial confetti scattered across the astral realm. And then nothing. Darkness. Darkness... and then rebirth. Dakrkess, and then... I wake up'.
'Wake up' Hope Summers declares. 'We don't have much time before Xavier gets back' she tells Magneto as she stands over him. 'WAKE UP!' Hope shouts telepathically into Magneto's mind. Suddenly, Magneto gasps, and sits up. Hope tells him that it is time to go, and warns him that he needs to make sure the Avengers don't see Wanda's body. 'Do you understand?' she asks. 'Hope, what -' Magneto begins, confused. 'Do you understand? Do not let them see her body' Hope exclaims. Magneto confirms that he understands.
Shortly, in the Boneyard, home of X-Factor, where Captain America approaches Northstar and asks him how Kyle is, and if he is around. 'Captain America, you know my husband?' Northstar responds. Captain America informs Northstar that they met at the Hellfire Gala, and that Kyle made quite the impression. 'He's good at that' Northstar admits, before telling Cap that Kyle will be home from work later, and is sure he would love to say hello. Suddenly, Pietro Maximoff a.k.a. Quicksilver appears and calls out: 'Who knew such a brutal murder would bring so many different people together. One might even mistake this as a happy occasion at first glance'. Captain America looks at his former teammate and tells him that it is not the murder, but the grief bringing them together. 'It's the staggering loss of such an incredible, unforgettable woman that eclipses trivial little things like political differences' he explains. Pietro frowns, and then thanks Cap, and tells him he is sorry. Cap puts a hand on Pietro's shoulder and tells him not to be. 'I bet it would make her melt knowing that you are still protecting her, even when she’s no longer with us. That you are always going to be her protector, no matter what' Captain America points out.
Quicksilver turns away from Captain America and the others and covers his face with one of his hands. Northstar speeds over to him: 'Pietro, are you -' Northstar begins. 'Don't' Quicksilver tells him. 'Hugs can be productive, I hear. Sometimes people need hugs' Northstar smiles. '&#^* you' Pietro smiles back. 'Not that -' he begins, when suddenly, he screams as he finds himself slammed against a wall and restrained in metal bonds. Northstar narrowly avoids being trapped too, as a psionic blast knocks back the metal headed towards Northstar. 'Get out before he pins you. He's taking out the speedsters first!' Rachel calls out to her team leader, while she throws a telekinetic force field around herself and Daken and their fellow X-Factor teammates Aurora, Prodigy and Eye-Boy. 'Shields up, Mom!' Rachel tells Jean Grey, as they extend their force fields around Cyclops, Polaris, Wolverine, Synch, Captain America, Wasp, Vision and Iron Man.
Outside the Boneyard, Magneto hurls spiked metal towards the towering building and shouts 'Send the Avengers out, and no one gets hurt!'
'Are you kidding?' Wolverine complains as she finds herself holding Iron Man back. 'What? My suit's magnet-proof. I can take him' Iron Man boasts. 'We know you can. That's not the point' Wolverine explains. 'Then what the hell is?' Iron Man asks, suggesting that beating Magneto sure does seem to be in everyone's best interests at the moment. Jean Grey maintains the forcefield as best she can, while Captain America protects Eye-Boy from some rubble hurled towards them. 'Letting them protect us is the point, Tony. They don't want us to have to fight on their turf' Captain America explains. 'Ten minutes, Cyclops. I'll let you have ten minutes to sort it out yourselves before getting involved. That's it' Iron Man declares. 'Understood' Cyclops responds, adding that he thinks they will only need five. He touches his optic visor as he announces that he will make a new exit – but before he fires a powerful blast, Polaris puts a hand on his shoulder, asking him to wait. 'Let me' she suggests.
A moment later, Polaris has made a hole in the side of her former home and flies towards Magneto. 'So you chose to build the Boneyard with an entirely magnetized structure? What an indulgent design. 'Is this what you were doing instead of finally finishing your geophysics degree?' Magneto scowls. 'Well, since you mentioned it – I designed a sentient defensive structure for my doctoral thesis. Welcome' Polaris responds.
At that moment, Cyclops emerges from the Boneyard and fires an optic blast which slams into Magneto, knocking him out of the air. 'You got an A, right?' Northstar asks as he flies past his friend. 'No, but I got a PhD, so it's fine' Polaris responds. Magneto lashes out at the Boneyard, attacking it with his awesome powers. Inside, Prodigy receives a communication from Northstar, telling him to take point and go protect the science. 'X-Factor – to me! We're defending chain of custody!' Prodigy exclaims. Daken, Aurora, Prestige and Eye-Boy rush to his side as they make their way up the spiral staircase inside the Boneyard.
'What's the plan?' Eye-Boy asks as they are joined by Synch, Wolverine and the other Wolverine, Logan, who has arrived on scene. 'I believe it means we're making sure nothing compromises the investigation or destroys evidence. In case that is Magneto's goal' Aurora explains as the heroes stand ready for action.
'I know, I know – I said ten minutes, but I started feeling left out, so here we are' Iron Man declares as he, Captain America, the Vision and the Wasp race out of the Boneyard towards Magneto. 'You don't want to do this' Captain America frowns. 'But I do!' the Wasp remarks as she switches to her insect-sized form and smashes a fist into Magneto's face. Captain America hurls his shield towards Magneto, 'I'll be taking this, then' Magneto remarks as he uses his control over metal to slam the shield into Iron Man. He then releases some magnetic waves which mess with the Vision's synthezoid body and send him crashing into the ground. 'WHO'S NEXT?' Magneto booms. Suddenly, 'Hello? What is all this?' Kyle Jinadu-Beaubier asks as he arrives at the Boneyard through a Krakoan gate. 'KYLE, NO!' Northstar screams as metal sheets are hurled towards him, and Magneto traps Kyle inside a metal sheet which he wraps around hm.

'THE AVENGERS LEAVE KRAKOA, OR -' Magneto begins, hovering above everyone, his fist clenched, as Northstar speeds towards him and exclaims 'Fine. They'll leave. Now let go of my husband'. Northstar turns to the Avengers and points off into the distance. 'Get out' he tells them. 'Rude' the Wasp mutters. 'Get the $#%& out' Northstar tells them again. Jean flies up to Northstar and tells him to stay calm. 'Let's not. I would kill you all in an instant if that's all that was required to save Kyle. Shall we find out?' Northstar asks. Captain America looks up at Magneto and tells him to let Kyle go, as he is innocent and is not involved with this. 'He's human' Magneto replies. 'HE'S KRAKOAN' Northstar screams. 'Is this really what you want, Magneto? To harm your own people?' Captain America asks.
Magneto drops to the ground and places Kyle on the ground nearby. Northstar is at Kyle's side, while Magneto answers Captain America's question by telling him that is not what he wants – what he does want is for the Avengers to leave. 'May we ask why?' Captain America enquires, before asking if it has something to do with the reason why they are here. 'Are you trying to keep us from taking Wanda's body home?' Captain America asks. 'NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT HOME MEANS FOR WANDA!' Magneto shouts angrily. 'I think I do, actually' Quicksilver remarks as he speeds towards Captain America. Magneto puts his hands together as if he was being hand-cuffed and exclaims 'Fine. It was me. I did it. I'm the one who killed her. And I wanted you to leave because I'm guilty of first-degree murder'. He asks Captain America to take him away before he changes his mind and decides to bring this place down to its knees after all. 'Welll? What are you waiting for? I MURDERED THE SCARLET WITCH!' Magneto booms.
Suddenly, a voice calls out 'I'm afraid I have to disagree. On several points, actually'. Magneto looks up and sees Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch hovering in the air above him, the sun glowing behind her.
Watching from the trees nearby is Raven Dakholme a.k.a. Mystique, who looks up at the Scarlet Witch and decides that this should be interesting.
The Scarlet Witch drops to the ground as the X-Men, X-Factor and Avengers all look towards her. 'Hello, everyone. I'm really moved that you all came to help me, but really, everything is all right. I just want to put all this behind me... and let things get back to normal' she calls out as she rushes over to the Vision, leaps into his arms and kisses him on the lips...

Schrödinger's Corpse
'Mmph -' the Vision mutters as he looks on in shock as the newly-returned Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch has embraced him and kisses him on his lips. The Vision pulls away from Wanda and tells her that he is relieved to see her alive, but admits to being confused. 'I had not finished grieving my late wife when I had to then begin grieving you...' Wanda goes wide-eyed – now it's she who is confused. “Wife”? She asks. Wanda turns and sees several of her longtime Avengers teammates nearby – Captain America a.k.a. Steve Rogers, Jan van Dyne the Wasp and Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man. 'Wanda, what's going on?' Captain America asks her, while Iron Man wonders how they can know this is really Wanda, as it could be a trick. Wanda looks scared as she finds herself on Krakoa, surrounded not only by the four longtime Avengers, but also members of the X-Men including Jean Grey, Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops. Her “father” Magneto is there, too and her twin brother, Pietro a.k.a. Quicksilver.
'Where have you been? Why did you let us believe that you were dead?' Iron Man enquires. 'Well, I -' Wanda begins, while Cap points out that Wanda might have been held somewhere. 'Her? Are you kidding, Cap? Id' like to see a kidnapper try to capture the Scarlet Witch!' Iron Man exclaims. Cap suggests that it could have been an enhancement or some sort of stasis spell. 'Is that what happened here, Wanda?' he asks. 'I don't know any more than you do' Wanda responds, while the water around Krakoa begins to bubble. 'I think we should -' Polaris starts to say, to which Iron Man interrupts her, telling her that he thinks the mutants have done enough talking. 'Stop – please -' Wanda utters, as she clutches her head, and the water continues to bubble and rise up.
Suddenly, there is a strong gust as Jean-Paul Beaubier a.k.a. Northstar speeds onto the scene and slams into Magneto. The water settles back down, while Northstar punches Magneto repeatedly, over and over – and hard. He grabs the old mutant by his cape and looks him in the eye as he snaps: 'That was just a preview. I've been enhanced since we last fought, Magneto'. Northstar then calmly steps back and brushes some dust off his shoulders, while adding 'Threaten my husband again and I'll show you the extent of how much I've improved'. Northstar then turns and walks back towards the structure known as the Boneyard, the home and headquarters of his team, X-Factor, walking past Cyclops and Jean Grey, he announces that Wanda's reappearance alters nothing about X-Factor's investigation – an attack occurred, and Magneto is still a suspect. Northstar's husband, Kyle Jinadu-Beaubier is standing nearby and gets Northstar's attention. 'What? Oh, right – Kyle wanted me to tell you that dinner will be ready soon and the Avengers are still welcome to join us' Northstar mutters, turning his head slightly to his companions. 'Dinner? How can he think about that at a time like this?' Captain America asks. 'He's human' Northstar smiles.
The Avengers follow Cyclops, Jean, Polaris and Logan a.k.a. Wolverine into the Boneyard, with Magneto following them. 'Don't think we've forgotten about that confession earlier, Magneto' Iron Man remarks. 'Indeed. Wanda's being alive just raises more questions than answers...' the Vision points out. Suddenly, 'M-mom?' Tommy Shepherd a.k.a. Speed calls out, in shock. With him is his twin brother, Billy Kaplan-Altman a.k.a. Wiccan. 'Tommy, wait -' Bill calls out as Tommy races over and hugs the Scarlet Witch. 'You're okay!' Tommy exclaims, smiling. 'Hello... have we met?' Wanda asks, puzzled. 'That's not our mother. Though... she is the Scarlet Witch' Billy announces. Iron Man asks the powerful sorcerer what he means, to which Billy replies 'She's not... she's not entirely her. Like she's from the past or something'.
Someone asks Wanda what the last thing is that she remembers, but Wanda tells them that she doesn't know. 'Daddy – what's going on?' she asks, turning to Magneto. 'Oh, Wanda...' Magneto utters, frowning. Northstar instructs his teammate Rachel Summers to find Wanda's memory. Rachel stands in front of Wanda and tells her that this won't hurt, and that she is just going to take a peek under the hood. As Rachel telepathically enters Wanda's mind, she reaches out to speak to her mother, Jean Grey, informing her that Wanda remembers so little. Jean explains that Charles told them Wanda's last backup was quite outdated. 'I thought that the Council voted not to resurrect her' Rachel asks. 'Yes. That's correct' Jean confirms. Rachel tells everyone that she guesses they know where Magneto's Cerebro backup ended, and asks Jean if she can help her fill in Wanda's missing pieces. 'I can, but...is that wise?' Jean responds. Rachel tells her that it might not be, but that it is the right thing to do. 'Let's just play her greatest hits' Rachel suggests. 'As you wish' Jean agrees, as she joins Rachel inside Wanda's mind.
There, they bring Wanda up-to-date on some of the more significant recent events in her life. Her mental instability following the Vision's dismantling and loss of her children. Her manipulation by a powerful force causing her to snap and attack her teammates in the Avengers. Her creation of an alternate reality where she said those infamous words “No more mutants” resulting in the loss of powers for most of the mutant population on Earth. And her recent attempt to fix that mistake during an alien invasion.
Suddenly, there is a powerful rumbling which can be felt across Krakoa. 'What was that?' someone calls out. 'Northstar, can you -' someone begins, before Northstar speeds out over Krakoa to assess the situation. 'Tch' Northstar mutters as he sees three hideous, giant monsters have made their way onto the island nation. A large red serpent-like one, a gray beast with several arms and legs, and a huge brown creature with a long tail that looms over the Boneyard. Northstar returns to the Boneyard and reports that there are three giant Kaiju attacking the island at different coastal locations, and that one of them is nearby and incoming. Captain America asks why they are attacking, to which Northstar suggests they figure that out after the kaiju are dead on the ground. 'Fair point' Captain America agrees, before suggesting they split up and neutralize the threats from each coastal location before they move inland. Northstar puts a hand on Captain America's shoulder and tells him that he is relieved to hear he will help Krakoa. 'Of course. Please give Kyle a rain check on dinner' Cap replies. 'I absolutely will' Northstar tells him.
Northstar then turns to Cyclops and tells him that he has seen the Kaiju and that each is unique. 'Do you trust me to divide us up based on corresponding power sets?' Northstar asks. 'Absolutely' Cyclops tells him. He instructs Northstar to take point on this, and offers to assemble the war captains and rally backup. 'Understood' Northstar acknowledges. The heroes then turn to leave the Boneyard, while the Scarlet Witch looks at them and asks 'Wait...what about me?' Captain America tells her that until they understand what is goingg on with her, she had best remain here. 'You need to come with us' Speed smiles as he takes Wanda's hand. 'But I... why?' Wanda asks. 'Just trust us' Wiccan frowns.
Soon, the giant serpent-like kaiju thrashes about at the shore of Krakoa, hissing at several mutants on the beach. The serpent then shapes itself like a wheel and rolls onto the land, straight towards a young mutant. 'RUN!' the mutant calls out, gasping as the kaiju looms over him – 'I've got you' the Vision assures the young mutant as he flies down and grabs the mutant before the kaiju harms him. David Alleyne a.k.a. Prodigy rushes over to the Vision and tells him to help him evacuate the civilians, while Wolverine, Captain America, Jean Grey and Trevor Hawkins a.k.a. Eye-Boy stand ready, as Eye-Boy notes that the kaiju is gearing up for another spinning attack. 'Three o'clock' Eye-Boy calls out. 'Roger that' Captain America confirms, as he hurls his shield towards the kaiju's face – the shield slices the creature's face, drawing blood. The serpent releases a hideous screeching sound, before diving down into the spinning attack. 'Jean, twelve o'clock! Throw up a shield!' Eye-Boy calls out as the Vision and Prodigy stand in the kaiju's path. 'How are you able to predict its next strike so consistently?' the Vision asks Eye-Boy, who explains that it isn't a prediction, he can just see its intentions. 'That's handy. Better stay close, kid' Captain America suggests.
Elsewhere, the large multi-limbed kaiju smashes its way across the island. 'KRAAAOOOR!' it roars. Daken and Laura Kinney a.k.a. Wolverine can be seen evacuating young mutants from the kaiju's path. 'How about you pick on someone your own size?' the Wasp asks the creature as she switches to her giant-sized form and punches the creature in the face. 'Or  someones!' Everett Thomas a.k.a. Synch of the X-Men suggests as he thanks the Wasp for the power loan, when he copies her power, becoming giant-sized himself, he shoves his elbow into the creature. Northstar and his twin sister, Aurora, fly towards the creature and as they clasp their hands, they release a powerful, blinding light which slams into the kaiju.
The third kaiju makes its way towards the Boneyard, where Magneto, Polaris, Sunfire, Rachel Summers and Iron Man are waiting. Rachel reports that she can't get a psychic hold on it, as its thoughts are incomprehensible to her and only hell-bent on destruction. 'Then we stop it here' Polaris declares. She instructs Iron Man and Sunfire to drive the creature two klicks south and put it in the path of the Boneyard. 'Can do' Iron Man acknowledges as he flies towards the kaiju and blasts it with energy. Sunfire does the same, and the creature moves closer to the Boneyard, where Polaris and Magneto are waiting for it.
The three kaiju suddenly crash to the ground – but they're not defeated, as the two land-based creatures roar in their native tongue. 'They -' Captain America begins. '- won't -' Iron Man continues. ' - die?' the Vision concludes, while Synch gasps. 'We need to evacuate all non-combatants from the island! The kaiju are self-healing!' Cyclops shouts, as the three large creatures begin to rise once more. 'Then what do we do?' someone asks. 'Then we... keep going until we make out last stand' the Wasp declares. 'For as long as we can' Rachel adds.
Meanwhile, for the Scarlet Witch, the wheel spins – another cycle of death and rebirth here. But for a moment, something shifted, a part of her departed. She is somewhere else, running through a strange realm. She had thought she had finally found her way out of here, but instead, she has woken up with even fewer memories. She runs as a figure in white follows her. She falls and finds herself in front of some sort of magical symbol, while the figure in white stands nearby. Wanda wonders if this is the way of things in the afterlife – there is no light at the end of the tunnel, nor is there a tunnel – there is only a fight. 'NO!' Wanda exclaims, while the magic symbols begin to whirl and flow before her. There is only a test of will to survive. An axe materializes from the magic symbols, and Wanda takes it. 'I get it now. I'm supposed to kill you' she remarks.
Wanda swings the axe, and the magic symbols floating before her spin around. 'Chaos magic. This place is made of chaos magic! It is of me! You will not kill me in this place again!' Wanda tells her mysterious assailant, while watching images of the kaiju attacking Krakoa through a portal. 'Finally, you figured it out' the cloaked figure utters, before pulling back the hood covering their face. Wanda gasps in shock – as looking back at her, is an older version of herself, with white hair and wearing her first pink and red costume!

(Earlier)The Five are gathered, with Hope Summers holding a Cerebro helmet. 'I mean... what are they going to do, fire us?' she asks Egg, Elixir, Tempus and Proteus. 'It's a backup from a while back – before M-Day, so she's not going to remember much about -' Hope starts to say, before a strange mist begins to surround them. Tempus gasps, while Hope tells everyone that it is okay. 'What the -' Egg begins. 'Wanda...' Proteus utters. 'She's resurrecting herself' the wide-eyed Tempus exclaims. Wanda Maximoff, naked and confused, appears, and asks 'Where... where am I?' Hope informs her that she is on Krakoa, and suggests they get her dressed, as they don't have much time – and there is a lot to explain.
Hope and Tempus help Wanda get into her classic pink and red costume. Wanda thinks to herself that some mornings, her body wakes up before her mind does, and for a single incandescent moment, she is nothing but awake and alive, holding her wrist up in the morning light and marveling without understanding her ownership of it – she only knows “I am alive”. Wanda flies off away from the Five, who look up and watch her go.
(Later)That is all that registers in the long seconds before Wanda's conscious mind quietly slips back into her body. She only recalls that she is Wanda Maximoff once her internal channels of magic are flooded with primordial knowing as the ancient ley lines tickle her senses and welcome her back to waking life. 'I'm sorry... I don't know who you are 'Wanda utters as Wiccan and Speed gather beside her.
Those first moments, before Wanda is aware of who and what she is, when all she knows is that she is alive, sometimes she wonders if that is what it feels like to be a newborn. She won't recall any of this for another few hours – being born is hard work.
Inside the Boneyard, Tommy Shepherd a.k.a. Speed tells his twin, Billy Kaplan-Altman a.k.a. Wiccan, 'I saw her – she was hone! I swear!' to which Wiccan assures his brother that he believes him. They are with two members of X-Factor – Eye-Boy and Prodigy – as Wiccan explains that Wanda's magic can account for memory loss or even a false death, but he wonders what happened to her to initiate it. 'They, ah, seem to be healed now, but earlier her wounds suggested a strangulation attack – um, attempt, I mean – via means of supernatural magnetism' Prodigy informs the twins. 'What kind of metal was used?' Wiccan asks, but neither Prodigy or Eye-Boy respond. Wiccan explains that there are metals that can hold enchantment and behave in ways unimaginable, and that if foul play is suspected, you can't rule out a magical attack until you know exactly what type of metal it was. 'Enchanted uru could've done this unassisted, for example' Wiccan adds. '$#%&. That throws a wrench into the investigation' Prodigy remarks to Eye-Boy, who points out that they have to tell Northstar.
Prodigy, Eye-Boy, Speed and Wiccan arrive in the kitchen area, where Northstar is at a bench, cooking, his husband Kyle is struggling to open a bottle of wine, and Northstar's sister, Aurora, sits at a table with her teammate and partner, Daken. Northstar asks his husband if he is sure he is all right, assuring him that they can cancel. 'I would love to cancel' Northstar tells him. But Kyle states that he is fine, and asks where everyone is. Northstar reports that they are downstairs, with Rachel and Jean giving Wanda her memories back, but that they will be along shortly. Speed smiles at Kyle as he introduces him to his brother, Billy. 'Hello' Wiccan smiles, as he casts a spell which pops the cork in the wine bottle. 'Ooh, that's handy' Kyle replies, before greeting Billy.
Prodigy asks Northstar if he can talk to him, announcing that just because Eye-Boy didn't see any enchantment residue on Wanda's remains doesn't mean that the metal itself wasn't enchanted. Daken asks if this means they will have to go back and review everything from a magical perspective. Northstar sighs and tells Daken that they will, and that until they can rule out magical murder, they need to re-evaluate the suspect list to see who not only had the motive and the means, but also who had access to magic. Northstar suggests that they contact Excalibur for help on the magic front – discreetly. 'Wanda may have been, ah, healed, but our work isn't done. Murder is murder. Just because magic may be at play -' Northstar begins, when he is interrupted by a loud booming noise.
Moments later, the heroes have gathered outside, and look up to where a large Kaiju can be seen behind some mountains. 'You recognise this feeling?' Wiccan asks his brother. 'Panic? All the time. We're old pals' Speed replies. 'No – the magic' Wiccan declares, before asking Prodigy if the Kaiju attack began after Wanda regained her memories. 'Some of them. Rachel and Jean gave her the, uh, Scarlet Witch highlight reel' Prodigy responds. Wiccan announces that he and Speed need to take the Scarlet Witch and work with her on something – privately. 'You need to come with us' Speed tells Wanda, taking her by her hand. 'But I... why?' Wanda replies, confused. 'Just trust us' Speed exclaims.
Wanda, Speed and Wiccan make their way through some Krakoan forest, with Speed offering to scout ahead. 'Where are we going?' Wanda asks. 'To fix this' Wiccan tells her.
Elsewhere, in another realm, and elderly version of the Scarlet Witch attacks a younger version. 'Why are you doing this? What is this place?' the younger version of the Scarlet Witch asks. 'This is our Eldritch Orchard. And I'm doing this because, sometimes – LOVE HURTS!' the elderly Scarlet Witch shouts as she fires a magical spear towards her other self. 'I mean, this is what you want, isn't it? Someone to punish you for all your sins? To absolve you?' the older Wanda asks. 'What? No!' Wanda exclaims. 'You can't lie to me, Wanda. I remember being you!' the old Wanda declares. She stands over her younger self and aims another energy blast towards her. 'You have to let it go' the older Wanda adds. 'All that guilt, all that turmoil eating you up inside – is manifesting as these monsters, endangering everyone you love!' the older Wanda explains, showing Wanda images of the Kaiju on Krakoa. 'Endangering your children!' the older Wanda exclaims, as she shows her younger self images of Speed and Wiccan. 'No!' Wanda utters.
On Krakoa: 'No!' Wanda gasps. 'I don't believe you!' she exclaims, clutching her head. Wiccan tells Wanda that he is sorry, but that it is true. 'You've compartmentalized your guilt into these physical constructs!' Wiccan explains. Energy crackles around Wanda as she angrily tells Wiccan that she didn't do all those terrible things that the telepaths forced into her head. 'AND I'M NOT TO BLAME FOR THE MONSTER ATTACK!' Wanda screams, creating a shockwave which knocks Wiccan and Speed backwards. Unimpressed, Speed shouts at Wanda: 'Arrrgh! This is why no one trusts you! This is why everyone is afraid to be around you!' Wanda begins to cry, and tells Speed that he sounds like her brother. 'I have lived my whole life defending you, Mom! My. Whole. Life' Wiccan calls out. Wanda turns away from Wiccan, looking anguished as Wiccan tells her that she taught him so much about magict hat he can't even remember now. 'These creatures attacking the island – you made them! Because you refuse to take accountability for your future!' Wiccan explains.
In the Eldritch Orchard, the old Wanda tells her younger self that it is time to forgive herself, and to stop beating herself up.
'Don't you get it? We're gonna die if you don't!' Wiccan exclaims, pointing at the Kaiju in the distance. Wanda continues to cry and clutches her head. Suddenly, both she and the younger Wanda in the Eldritch Orchard release energies. 'ALL RIGHT!' Wanda exclaims, as all three versions of Wanda suddenly appear together. 'Oh. I know what this is. This is healing. I am accepting and forgiving. I am reuniting my selves. My future. My present. My past' Wanda realizes. 'SPIN THE WHEEL' all three Wandas utter in unison.
Energy radiates above the island of Krakoa, then spills out in three directions, each connected to one of the versions of Wanda, who suddenly appear at the locations of the Kaiju. 'Mom!' Speed calls out. 'Need some help?' the old version of Wanda asks.
At one of the locations, Synch can be seen carrying the motionless Wasp. 'Medic! We need a healer! Janet's knocked out!' Synch calls out, while one version of Wanda looks around nervously. At another location, Daken and his sister, Wolverine, can be seen motionless on the ground, while several other mutants attack the large Kaiju. 'Get out of the way! I rule you' Wanda tells the Kaiju as she confronts it. 'So pick on someone your own size!' Wanda tells the creature as she casts energy towards it.
Another version of Wanda lands near another of the Kaiju, where Iron Man, Magneto, Sunfire and Polaris are flying above it. 'How many times are we supposed to kill these things?' Sunfire asks. 'Until they learn to stay down' Polaris smiles at her teammate, while Wanda flies up to join the others and announces that she might be of some assistance. She stares down the Kaiju. 'Go away' she tells it.
'Aim for its eyes!' the old version of the Scarlet Witch calls  out as she casts energy towards the serpent-like Kaiju. Down below, Captain America is with Wolverine, who remarks 'It's always the damn eyes'. 'Who is that?' Captain America asks as he readies his shield. 'Beats me' Wolverine tells him, before he leaps upwards to the Kaiju. 'Don't look a gift hag in the mouth, Cap!' Wolverine calls back, before he lands on the Kaiju's head and starts shoving his claws into the monster's many eyes. 'Good! Yes! Only a hundred more eyes to go!' the elderly Scarlet Witch utters.
At a Krakoan gate, husband and wife Gambit and Rogue appear, carrying martini glasses. 'Well hell, cher. We missed a  whole monster party!' Gambit exclaims. 'Not yet we haven't.... giddyup, Gambit!' Rogue exclaims as she takes flight. Gambit removes his shirt and boasts that he will ride that big fella like a four-wheeler. Cannonball, Boom-Boom, Sunspot and Rictor can be seen attacking the large blue-skinned Kaiju. Nearby, Cyclops meets with his fellow War Captains – Magik, Bishop and Kwannon – and thanks them for convening so quickly. Kwannon asks what the intrusion is, and Cyclops tells her that Kaiju are kicking ass. 'I think we can manage that' Magik declares, raising her Soulsword. Armor can be seen joining the battle, and Northstar and Aurora, too, the twins clasping hands and creating a brilliant light. Colossus and Havok are on hand, too, attacking the large blue Kaiju, and Vulcan and Storm lend a hand to those battling the serpent-like creature, while Magik teleports between the three locations, attacking each of the creatures.
The Scarlet Witch reconciles her past, present and future, and the monsters become easier to quell. As the Kaiju begin to shatter and fade away, Wanda discovers that they were made of Eldritch Orchard. As mutants on Krakoa begin to gather together, the three versions of the Scarlet Witch start to converge. 'Let's be quick before anyone starts asking questions' the older Wanda suggests. 'Quick about what?' one of the other Wandas asks. 'Now what did I just say?' the older Wanda smiles. 'Wait, I – I'm scared...' Wanda utters, while the older Wanda tells her not to be scared, and that they are different stops on the same path. Looking at her older self, Wanda utters 'I never thought I would live so long'. The older Wanda begins to cry as she tells her younger self 'Oh, we live so, so long, little one. We live so much. Don't lose hope' the old Wanda remarks as she and the other Wanda vanish, leaving only one Wanda. 'Spin the wheel...' Wanda tells herself.
Wanda frowns as she turns to face the hundreds of mutants gathered before her, and she recalls how hard it is being reborn. 'Wanda!' Magneto calls out. 'I'm back now' Wanda smiles at Magneto, before they hug, and Wanda tells Magneto that she is here, that it is her – all of her. 'Mom!' Speed and Wiccan call out in unison. 'Boys! Ha ha!' Wanda laughs as she turns to her sons, who are standing with the Wasp and Captain America. 'It is you this time' Wiccan remarks. 'Yes' Wanda tells him, before thanking him for helping her.
Wanda turns to address the crowd and apologizes to them for causing any distress. 'It... my magic – I didn't really die, you see -' she starts to explain, before the aggressive Magma scowls and shouts 'It was you, wasn't it? You created the monsters that attacked the island!' Wanda tells the mutants that she is so sorry, and that she untethered the monsters as soon as she could. 'It's not her fault!' Wiccan calls out as he and Speed step between Wanda and the crowd. 'It's always her fault!' Magma snaps. Wanda starts to tell the mutants that she can explain. 'We're listening' Emma Frost frowns, folding her arms. Polaris, Magneto, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Northstar, Captain America, Iron Man and the Vision all join Wiccan and Speed in standing between Wanda and the crowd of mutants, as Wanda announces that she knows who attacked her!
