Earth 1610:New York:In a building, Amadeus Cho and Tony Stark are looking at a dimensional rift. Cho expresses disgust that they plan to shut the door to another universe. He can’t believe it! Stark reminds him that just yesterday a giant purple cosmic entity almost ate their world and the damage was so intense it took out SHIELD, the Ultimates and New Jersey. They are lucky to still be here. The world is a mess and the powers that be can’t afford to keep things like this.
Cho insists the proof of the multiverse is more important than food and roads and-- Stark surprisingly agrees and decides he is going to buy it and he will keep Cho on, being that he is the leading expert in this field.
Before Amadeus can fully express his gratitude, the rift implodes and disappears. Cho is about to cry while Stark postulates maybe somebody on the other side closed it or something bad happened…
Earth 616:A universe away and flying over the Canadian wilderness, Angel is taking X-23 back to the new Xavier School after their night together. X-23 asks him to be a gentleman when they return to school.
Just as they are approaching, they find everyone outside and Magik teleporting the senior X-Men – Cyclops, Emma Frost, Dazzler and Kitty Pryde – away. What if it’s a trap and they never come back? Triage fears. They’ll have to repopulate the mutant race through procreation, the Stepford Cuckoos reply, scaring Goldballs.
When Angel lands and asks what’s going on, Jean explains they’ve gone to listen to the last will and testament of Charles Xavier. Beast muses it’s odd they’ve let themselves forget so easily he’s passed away.
What are they supposed to do in the meantime? Angel asks. Bobby demands info on their time away. Jean chides him and Triage tells him to at least try and be cool. Him not trying is what makes him cool, Iceman claims. Yeah, no, Triage replies.
Goldballs asks what they should do while the grown-ups are away. Training and studying, Beast replies. No, really, he asks.
Jean carefully addresses Laura, stressing that she does not wish to lose any fingers, but Laura is looking calm and happy. Laura cuts her off. She knows there are girls who do “this.” She’s not one of them. She knows, Jean replies as Laura stomps off. Good thing she’s a psychic. Is she the girl who can accept when someone is genuinely happy for her? she asks and Laura stops. Warren is a great guy, Jean continues. Truly great. They’ll see, Laura replies looking at Warren standing with the other guys.
Jean reveals that Bobby asked for the gory details and Warren told him to grow up and is walking away. All because Laura told him to be a gentleman. Like she said: Good guy. Laura still wrestles with the concept. Jean continues, knowing all she does now, she is teaching herself to enjoy the good stuff. It’s really hard, Laura replies. Welcome to the X-Men, Jean shrugs. You are not going to survive the experience, so… might as well try to make it worthwhile.
A little later, Warren joins Beast in the lab, where he is tinkering with Cerebro, figuring nobody told him not to. As they muse that every one of the lights is someone they are fighting for, suddenly there is one sigil-shaped sign. Both are surprised. It becomes a red energy ball. Beast figures it’s a mutant in need of help.
Sensing their thoughts, Jean joins them. She figures they should examine this without waiting for Kitty or taking the others students along.
Soon, Benjamin, Goldballs and Celeste see an X-jet leaving. Goldballs asks Celeste who that is. Celeste tells him it’s the original X-Men and the one with the foot claws going off on a mission that no one told them to go on. Fabio reveals that he is going to marry Jean Grey. Celeste deadpans that he has a better chance of marrying Nate Grey. When none of the boys reacts, she tells them if they knew anything they’d find that reference hilarious.
Aboard the plane, the other X-Men ask for more intel. Beast summarizes what they know: a new mutant is either being born or discovering a secondary mutation. If he had to say, he’d guess new mutant.
In a high school in Texas, the graduation ceremony is underway. Amongst the happy youngsters being photographed one girl, Carmen, feels unwell. The photographer and the principal look shocked and so soon do the others as Carmen begins to glow and a glowing S-shape forms in her torso. Help, Carmen mutters. The principal shouts for everyone to remember their mutant emergency procedure training. The kids take cover.
Confused, Carmen grabs the floating energy sigil. Looking into it, she sees an image of ruined buildings followed by an image of familiar but strangely dressed heroes fighting each other. The energy pours from her and she cries for help. She sees another image of a fantastic world, possibly Asgard. She makes the energy go down. Oh my God, she mutters.
Don’t panic, Jean Grey tells her and assures her everything is okay. Angel chimes in this is a good day. She is coming into her own. He’s Warren. What’s her name? Carmen stutters her name. Jean announces they are the X-Men. Carmen is skeptical. The X-Men are adults. Where’s the guy with the goggles? He’s not here right now, Jean replies.
But they are, Hank takes over, holding a tablet. Her mutant power is manifesting and they are here to help. Carmen looks panicked at this revelation and refuses to believe it. Jean assures her it’s a good thing. Hank asks how she feels. Freaked out, Carmen admits, but strangely less so than before. Jean admits she’s helping with that. Carmen figures she is controlling her.
Hank asks personal questions. Is she nauseated? Does she have her period? What? Carmen, Jean and Laura asks simultaneously. Just a theory he’s working on. It’s not a good one, Bobby stage-whispers. Hank continues, saying she is registering a unique energy type so he’d like some blood and urine. Jean tells him he is terrible at this. Can’t he see the poor girl is freaking out?
Angel talks to Carmen, assuring her they’ve all been there.
Lots of police cars close in. Jean offers to take Carmen away. Carmen bristles at the word “take.” She panics and her eyes glow as her powers manifest.
Suddenly, Iceman finds himself in darkness. Hello? he calls out. Does anybody else smell that? It smells like a cat pooped after eating at Little Caesar‘s. He’s totally lost, he mutters, unaware he is being watched by the Mole Man and his Moloids.
Jean finds herself in the middle of a busy street. A cab is about to mow her down. She lifts it telekinetically and lets it down on the other side. Instead of Austin, she figures she is now in New York. She flies upward to get a better vantage point. She lands on a roof, only to find it already occupied.
She looks familiar, Miles Morales, the new ultimate Spider-Man tells her. Do they know each other? She was just about to ask the same thing, Jean replies.

Earth 1610:A prehistoric jungle:The hell is he supposed to be? a blond, savage-looking young man with Wolverine-like claws asks of Angel, who suggests he put the claws back into the Wolverine costume he found them in. What did he say? the boy snarls and demands his name. As he advances menacingly, Angel replies that one of them is having a psychotic break here and he’s just going to say it’s himself. The boy demands his name. Angel decides to fly away, but Jimmy Hudson has his scent…
Beast finds himself underwater. Heading for the light, he swims upward and drags himself ashore at a lovely stretch of beach, surprising a couple of lovers. From the landscape and the language, he figures he’s ended up in Turkey.
X-23 lands in the middle of a football field during a match. When a player is about to run into her, she topples him with a judo move. Not surprisingly, that doesn’t make her very popular with the crowd. When she unsheathes her claws, the crowd and players realize she’s a mutant and curse and flee.
Somewhere underground, Iceman tells a strange audience that a second ago he was with his team of time-displaced X-Men and they were meeting this new mutant and then he is here. He doesn’t know if they ever had anything like that happen to them. Do they speak English? Is this Earth?
He is inside the Earth, the Mole Man snarls in response. He is in his kingdom. Can he borrow his phone? Iceman asks. The Mole Man orders his Moloids to grab him. The Moloids swarm Iceman.
On a New York rooftop, Jean Grey has come face to face with the new Spider-Man, Miles Morales. This is weird, she admits. Which part? he asks. One second ago she was— she hopes she hasn’t unlocked another new part of her powers. She can’t handle discovering any part of her she didn’t know she had.
He tells her he is Spider-Man and noticed the ruckus she caused on the street. Jean admits she doesn’t know what’s going on. Does he have a new costume? No. Who is she? Jean introduces herself.
They’ve met, he recalls, surprising Jean. Galactus, he reminds her. She doesn’t get it. Giant purple thing that ate New Jersey. She came with Kitty Pryde and the other X-Men. When was this? she asks even more confused. There is no way you forget a big purple guy who tries to eat the world! he bursts out.
Jean announces she has to do something he won’t like but she really has to. She warns him she will read his thoughts, making him very nervous.
And with that she reads the mind of Miles Morales, learning all about his life and realizing she is on the wrong Earth. She’s from the other Earth where Peter Parker is still alive! he bursts out. Who’s Peter Parker? Jean asks. Realizing his faux pas, Miles mutters “nobody.”
Jean explains the girl sent her to another dimension. Now she is in the wrong time and space. She is not having a great year.
Can she get back? Miles asks. Jean realizes he’s been to her Earth. He replies he knows how to get her back. He grabs her around the waist. Jean protests she can fly herself. Miles apologizes. He swings ahead and she follows while he angsts that she knows his real name.
In the meantime, X-23 has liberated a motor bike and is chased by a huge squad of police cars. A cop is about to fire at her and Laura jumps off the bridge to ricochet from a school bus and finally lands atop a truck.
Elsewhere, Hank has reached a small quaint looking European town. He’s realized that what little Turkish he knows doesn’t help much. Some people identify him as an American and take snapshots. One man says he looks like a superhero. Heroes don’t come to here. He gathered that much, Hank replies. You die here, the young man continues. You come here, you doom. Henry decides they are having a bit of a language problem. Doom, the man repeats. The people walk away quickly when several Doombots show up and surround Hank, who belatedly realizes this is Latveria.
In the meantime, Miles has led Jean to a building in Manhattan, warning her that the scientists and SHIELD agents are going to freak out about her.
However, there is nobody there and certainly not the rift he told her about. Maybe they moved it, Miles suggests helplessly. Amadeus Cho joins them and announces darkly that the tear closed. Just like that. And his work is incomplete and the government closed the checkbook.
Spider-Man tells Amadeus Jean needs to go home. So go home, he replies disinterested. She is from the other Earth. Can he help her? Cho replies unless they know of another rip in spacetime that opens up to precisely the same reality, it’s going to take decades to get her out. She should accept she is stuck here.

Earth 1610:Below the surface world, the stranded Iceman finds himself fighting a crowd of moloids, who are egged on by their master, the Mole Man, who berates Iceman for infiltrating his underworld kingdom.
Inspired by his future self, Iceman tries something new, namely create some ice-hulks which attack the Moloids as well. Seeing a light, he iceslides toward it while the Mole Man shouts he will reveal their existence to the surface monsters.
Iceman emerges in the streets in broad daylight from a sewer. The people panic, shouting ‘mutants.’ Iceman protests they have a Mole Man problem, then complains about the heat. As he cannot maintain his iceform due to the heat, the ground rumbles and a monster bursts through. He did honestly not see that coming, Bobby admits.
In the snowy wilderness of Canada, X-23 has made it to the former Weapon X complex. She sniffs and unsheathes her claws. There she is, a voice calls out. Home sweet home, the Angel remarks as he lands. Is that a weird thing to say considering where they live? He is glad to see her.
He opens his arms and asks if she understands what happened to them. What was he just about to do? Laura asks sharply. Hug her? he asks. Laura reminds him she doesn’t do that. She too wonders what is happening to them. He tells her that he ended up in a prehistoric jungle at the South Pole. The Savage Land, Laura explains unimpressed. He realizes he has to do more reading.
Laura summarizes that she thinks that mutant girl did something and scattered them. She doesn’t like that. They have to find the others. Something is wrong.
Yeah, there’s a bunch of dinosaurs in the middle of Antarctica, Warren points out. She means this is wrong, Laura insists. The hidden entrance to the Xavier school is frozen shut. And it looks like it has been for a very long time.
And that’s the way it’s going to stay! newcomer Jimmy Hudson announces. Ready to attack, he orders them away from the door.
Him again? Warren sighs. Laura asks if he knows him. He’s not much of a hugger either, Warren replies. Laura and Jimmy get in each other’s face, causing Warren to ask if they are related. Laura notes he didn’t attack yet. They are in and need answers. What kind of trouble? Jimmy demands. She asks him to show them what’s behind that door. Are they mutants? he asks. Then they do not want to be there.
Nevertheless, they enter. Jimmy explains that this is the nightmare where man invented mutant. Laura corrects him. Mutants just happened. Nope, man did it. After a lot of sick torture and experimentation. His name is James Hudson. His father was Wolverine… trust him. He knows.
Latveria:Beast awakes with Jean’s name on his lips. He finds himself at a long dinner table opposite Dr. Doom, who admits he is terribly fascinated. He has to conjecture as to who he is and how he finds himself in Doom’s dimension but he was hoping he’d fill him in on his adventures until now over dinner. He hopes he likes sea bass. He is Victor van Damme.
Right, Beast mumbles and tries to escape over the roof a moment later, only to be captured and returned by various Doombots. As he was saying, Doom continues undeterred, tell him about the Earth he comes from. He is very interested. He could not be more interested…
Brooklyn Visions Academy:Miles Morales’ roommate and best friend Ganke is despairing over calculus homework when Miles returns. Are they alone? Miles demands. It’s their dorm room, Ganke reminds him. He thinks he has Lorde under the bed? He understands about Spider-Man but Miles mustn’t let his grades slip.
Miles tells him to brace himself. Ganke calms down and a moment later Jean appear as if out of thin air.
Miles introduces Jean and warns Ganke she can read minds. Uh-oh, Ganke mutters. Miles agrees; he thought that too. But clearly she has heard and seen it all. Ganke asks how he sneaked her in here. She can psychically make it so no one sees her, he is told.
Miles explains they need to borrow Ganke’s mom’s car. Jean needs to get up to Westchester. The X-Men’s old school is there. There’s something she needs. Ganke protests. Miles points out his mom hasn’t driven that car in two years. She won’t even know it’s gone.
Jean tells them to work it out. She needs a shower. His towel and stuff is in there, Miles tells her. He can’t come with her, Jean informs Ganke. He shouts that he thought that for like a second. As he sputters, she tells him she was joking. So he can come with her? he asks hopefully. Jean rolls her eyes and thanks him for the car. Miles turns on the computer to email someone he thinks can help them.
Soon, Jean and Miles are on their way. Miles is weirded out by Jean steering the car with her telekinesis. He asks if she is okay. She tells him about being lost in time and now apparently in space, with no idea where her friends are. She blames herself for everything and he asks why. She explains it was her decision to engage that new mutant. She admits she knows her future is messed up. She’s been given a second chance and she’s messing it up! Are they there? Miles asks.
They enter the school which is empty. She explains she is hoping they have a Cerebro in the basement. With it, she can find the others.
Someone tells them they are trespassing. They turn around to face this universe’s X-Men.

Jean and Spider-Man tried to break into the X-mansion, only to find the X-Men living there clandestinely, one of whom is another version of Jean. Miles begins to babble that they have to see this in context. Firestar and Rogue remark this is weird. When Iceman points out that the newcomer looks like Jean, just slightly hotter, both Jeans and Storm glare at him. He admits this was a poor choice of words and suggests they return to the drama.
Jean introduces herself to her ultimate counterpart and both admit this is awkward.
Shapeshifter, Rogue figures. Firestar doubts it.
Both Jeans’ eyes begin to glow as they attempt to telepathically probe each other and suddenly they begin to experience each other’s entire life.
Ultimate Jean sees her counterpart’s life, joining the X-Men, fighting villains like the Vanisher, going to the future with her team, being put on trial by the Shi’ar and more.
Marvel Girl sees her Ultimate counterpart’s life: Also being part of the X-Men, battling her madness, her grief over the loss of Cyclops, fighting Kitty Pryde over the fate of the mutant nation.
Both girls scream and break apart. They babble, then as if on cue both faint.
In Atlanta, Georgia an Iceman suffering from the heat is fleeing for his life from the monster the Mole Man conjured up. He uses what is left of his ice powers in defense. When he sees it’s 114 degrees he complain no wonder his powers don’t work properly. And people live here? On purpose?
He takes moisture from inside the creature and freezes its head in a block of ice. He complains that Jean comes here and gets cool new powers while he gets less powers.
Without air, the monster falls. Several cops train guns at Iceman and order him to freeze. He would if he could, Bobby sighs.
Inside the Weapon X complex, Canada:Angel and X-23 insist man did not create mutant. He did and he did it right here, Jimmy Hudson replies darkly. Mutants are born not made, Angel points out. What did they think they’d find here? Jimmy asks. Their school, Laura replies. Well, this ain’t no school. She knows what this is, Laura, replies. She was born in a place like this. Born? he asks. She shows her claws. He is the son of Wolverine. She is his clone, she announces. Now Jimmy is taken aback.
Laura points out she thinks they aren’t from this Earth. They need to find the mutant who did this to them and find out if reality has been warped and this is the new normal. Or if they have been put here where they don’t belong.
What if they are stuck here? Angel fears. Laura refuses to entertain the thought. She can’t go through this. He promises they’ll find a way home. Like he found a way back to his own time? she retorts.
Latveria:In Latveria, Beast explains in detail how he ended up here, thanks to the truth serum Doom doused his food and drink with. Dr. Doom drugged him. A new low for him, Beast sighs. Doom wants to know more about how they are from another time as well.
His older self brought them forward to stop a mutant genocide started by Scott Summers. Did it work? Doom asks. There was no genocide, he is told. So it seems it did.
Doom finds this terribly fascinating. Beast babbles on about how they are lost. And she doesn’t even look at him. Doom doesn’t understand. Beast continues he is absolutely one hundred percent in love with Jean Grey and she barely looks in his direction. And the kick of it is she can read his mind. She knows how he feels. And she does not care!
Doom stands up. This is getting embarrassing. Beast looks up and announces he will not help him. Doom simply tells him he will. He will not! Hank shouts. Doom drugged him to tell the truth, so he knows he tells the truth now. He will die before he helps him! Doom informs him this is not his choice anymore. They found his true purpose now. A help to Doom’s work. What work? Hank asks. What is he going to do?
In Atlanta, Iceman is in a police car and refuses to answer questions. Nevertheless, the cops identify him as Robert Drake, Iceman. He was on the cover of Time magazine, the cop mocks, during the ten minutes the people were fooled by them. Don’t they get it by now? Keep the mutant crap on the down-low. Keep it to themselves. Why do they do this? Do what? Bobby asks. Make a nuisance of themselves, he is told. Should he let a monster attack the city? Bobby points out. Let people get hurt?
Mercilessly, the cop asks if he knows how much it will cost the city to clean this up. Let the cops do their job and stop upsetting everyone with his freakshow.
Well, as long as he doesn’t want to sound racist, Bobby mocks. He isn’t listening, the cop tells his partner. He listens very carefully, Bobby interjects. He appreciates it actually… because the air-conditioning in this car… it really hit the spot.
He ices up and breaks the window. The car crashes into a bus. Fleeing on an iceslide, he assures them he’s going to miss this place almost as much as he’ll miss them.
Westchester:Marvel Girl awakes sitting in the huge Cerebro chamber. Hello? she calls out. The other Jean joins her. Marvel Girl asks why she is here. Her older self explains they need to find the little mutant that brought her here and her X-Men. She’s been looking online and there have been some weird news stories. She thinks her teammates are here too, scattered about.
They both admit reading each other’s life was upsetting. How could they be the same and so different? Older Jean decides to hug her. She muses she was feeling bad about herself before, now she sees the other Jean being better at being her than she is. Marvel Girl protests. Older Jean reminds her she knows her mistakes. And she knows hers, Marvel Girl points out and asks where the others are. Older Jean explains she thought they needed to do this alone.
The other X-Men sit in the kitchen with Miles and stare at him.
Older Jean asks Marvel Girl to do this, figuring he is stronger and reveals Miles has a crush on her. She knows. She is nervous since mutants are different here. What if she can’t find them? Moments later, she bursts out if she saw that. Is that real?

The Secret Life of Eva Bell: part two
Oh no! Eva Bell aka Tempus groans as she finds herself in a prehistoric jungle. She screams when a dinosaur is about to attack and creates a time bubble around the thunder lizard that freezes it in time. She is single-minded about getting back to her family in the future, but doesn’t know how.
Suddenly, the frozen dinosaur is hit and killed by a green energy blast. Hello? Eva calls out carefully. Good, English, a voice replies. She has no idea how long she has missed the language of speech. How did she find herself here?
Eva begins to babble about this being a mistake. Her speech slurs and the other person realizes that, despite her protestations, Eva is hurt. She can get home, Eva slurs before fainting. If she can get home, the other person muses, that is very good news for both of them…
Eva’s Dream: In an apartment, Eva puts her young daughter to bed. The child asks what Eva wanted to be when she was growing up. Eva reminds her it’s bedtime and tells her she is always stalling her with questions. The child really wants to know. Eva reveals she wanted to be a geologist. A scientist of rocks. The child is doubtful. Eva points out you can learn about the whole world from rocks.
What does she want to be when she grows up? First she wants to marry a man with a lot of money, the child announces. Where is this coming from? Eva asks. She would like a lot of money, the child explains. Eva suggests she can earn the money herself. Not from the beach she is sitting on, the child replies. Eva assures her she is smart and powerful. She is going to use that to make the world better. Smart people have to make the world better. It doesn’t matter either way, the child replies. Because she’s dead. Eva got lost and now she’s dead. Forever! Her eyes begin to bleed and Eva stumbles away.
Reality:Eva awakes with a scream. She finds herself in a bed in a medieval style chamber. Is she all right? a voice asks. Where is she? Eva demands. The voice corrects her, the question would be when is she? She has answers to both.
A brunette in a low-cut green dress enters the room She is trapped her at the dawn of man like her. They are going to help each other. Her name is Morgana le Fay.
Eva begins to activate her power and orders her to stay away. Amused, Morgana points out that they are the only two evolved language-speaking people in the world. They are both stuck here. They can help each other. There is no need to panic or threaten.
Eva stammers that she has to get back to her family. Morgana points out this is probably the last thing she needs to hear right now, but she doesn’t think that’s entirely possible. How can she say that? Eva demands angrily. She doesn’t know anything about Eva or her family!
Morgana coolly corrects her. While Eva was recuperating thanks to Morgana’s healing spells, she found out everything there is to know about Eva. She knows how she got here. She knows she is lost. She got the knowledge from a lock of hair and a drop of blood. She shows her the spell, images of Eva’s life flowing in the air.
Morgana explains she was betrayed and was stuck here and Eva is lost. Morgana can point her in the right direction and Eva can carry them out.
Eva repeats she needs to get back to her family. What does she mean, that won’t be possible? Morgana explains her family probably no longer exists. Nothing from there does. What does that mean?! Eva shouts, upset. Time is not linear, Morgana continues. She exists in a time. That’s where she belongs. But Eva travelled to a future that she didn’t belong in. Now once she left that future, it probably ceased to exist. The longer Eva stays here, the more true that becomes. The future is for everyone a blank canvas. That time in her life no longer exists anywhere but in her mind’s eye. Morgana has suffered this punishing loss as well. She knows this is hard to hear.
Eva shouts at her to stop right now. She’s going home! She’s leaving here and— Suddenly, something burning is thrown through the window.
The locals, Morgana states grimly, referring to the Stone Age people outside. Every time they stumble across fire, they use it to attack her home. Why? Eva wonders. Because they attack what they don’t understand. That seems to be a constant, no matter what time the live in.
Morgana casts a spell and easily kills the attackers with a blast. Horrified, Eva freezes her in a time bubble. Morgana le Fay, she sighs. Does she not know there are books written about her? Sure, let’s be best friends, crazy evil sorceress. She has to get out of here, she decides and thinks of her daughter. She gives herself a pep talk. She can do it. Get home! Eva closes her eyes and focuses… and nothing happens. Why can’t she do this? she cries. This can’t be her life now!
That moment, Morgana frees herself with a spell. Eva panics and time freezes the magical energy. No one has ever done that before, Morgana admits and apologizes for underestimating her. She fires another magical blast at her.
Eva panics and begins to move through time. She moves forward and urges herself to keep going, as she comes closer to the present. She pushes herself further, admonishing herself not to interact with anything. Finally, she arrives around 2099 and recognizes the time. She’s home.
She runs through the rain to her home and knocks on the door. An unfamiliar woman answers the door and asks if she can help her. Surprised, Eva stammers this is her home. He husband and child. The woman tells her she lives alone. Eva continues, his name is Danny Warburton. He’s lived here for— The woman interrupts her she has the wrong address. She is about to leave anyway. Eva asks if she can look inside. The woman assures her there is no man or child in there. Is she going to be okay? Is there someone she can call? Eva looks at her broken-hearted then runs toward Magik’s home, praying.
When she knocks, Wagner appears and she hugs him in relief. He teleports out of her embrace and tells her no touching. Please tell her he knows who she is and he is just being a pill, she begs. He’s sure he’d remember that tacky haircut, he replies snottily. Whatever she’s selling, they’re not buying. Eva tries to get into the Sanctum, shouting she needs to see the doctor. She needs her right now! Wagner is surprised at the pronoun ‘her.’ He suggests she leave.
She timefreezes him and enters the Sanctum to find the sorcerer supreme… a black-haired bearded man in a suit of armor.
Dr. Strange? she stammers. That is a name he hasn’t heard in a long time. It is also a name that is not his. His name is Doctor Anthony Stark. But he is the sorcerer supreme. Can he help her? Crying, Eva sinks down on her knees. Her baby…
Later, Stark hands her a hot beverage. She thanks him for listening and believing. No one has lied to him and gotten away with it in a very long time, he replies. He believes every word. And he sympathizes. First of all, he wants to tell her that keeping that evil bitch Morgana trapped back where she is was the most heroic thing Eva has ever done and will probably ever do. Let her rot there. Know that the journey was worth it if only for that. He knows it’s easier for him to say that than for her to believe it.
What happened to her family? Eva pleads. There’s no record of them. It’s like they never existed. Stark admits the evil witch was right. The butterfly effect is real. Eva is not where she belongs. She has not been for quite some time… so she can actually feel the butterfly effect. She’s been bouncing around time and who knows what little thing she did here and there. Everything they do affects everything around them, he lectures. Millions and billions of interconnecting fates every second of every day. It is the butterfly effect building to the billiard ball effect. Everybody does it every day. Eva is just aware of the outcome because she has traveled further than anybody else ever will. And this outcome affects her directly, so it hurts.
He’s talking about her daughter! Eva shouts. Her husband! He is sorry about them and sorry she has been through all this. She can’t get her back because she no longer exists and trying will only make things worse. And it doesn’t take a scientist or sorcerer to know that, if Eva keeps trying, she will lose herself. She is still young and still has a long way to go on her journey. In her own time. The whole story of Eva Bell has not been told yet. It’s time to go home. It’s time to back where she came from, with full comprehension of her power and responsibility.
Tabula Rasa appears around them. Are they back in her time? Eva asks. No, he can’t do that. She is amazed it’s still here. People are still scared of it, he replies. No one comes here. This is where Eva’s journey began and where it must end. Can he help her back? she asks. He replies: No. What if she can’t do it herself? She can, he promises. If and when they meet again, be nice to him. He believes where she comes from he is about to go through one of the most heart-rending existential crises of his life. Or maybe not. He disappears.
‘I’m sorry, baby, I’m so sorry!’ Eva sobs. She concentrates. Please, she pleads and open her eyes to find her power has taken her back.
What happened to her? Ben Deeds asks. Eva hugs him. The others gather. Eva takes Celeste aside. She knows Celeste can read her mind. She knows she knows where Eva has been. Please don’t tell anyone!
Where did she go? a worried Goldballs asks. Didn’t she hear him calling? She kisses him on the forehead and apologizes. Noticing Eva’s poor shape, Christopher offers to heal her. She shouts at him not to touch her, then assures everybody she’s fine.

Now:The X-Men from two universes and Miles Morales aka Spider-Man battle Dr. Doom’s doom-bots. Today did not turn out like he thought at all, young Iceman sigs. His counterpart agrees.
Rogue helps out Spider-Man, who thanks her, calling her “Rock.” She corrects his pronunciation. Angel praises Iceman for destroying that doom-bot, then realizes it was the Ultimate Iceman. No wonder he did so well.
Older Jean’s upper arm is hurt by a Doom-bot’s blast. X-23 and Spider-Man fight back to back as more robots come.
Young Jean tries to help her injured counterpart and Spider-Man attacks the real Doom, who blasts him.
Hours earlier:In the Cerebro chamber at Xavier’s school, the two Jeans see a global map with mutant lights and a few different lights which they figure are Marvel Girl’s friends. In the middle is a sigil-like energy shape that engulfs everything. Marvel Girl figures that’s the girl who sent them here. She is extremely relieved and the older Jean realizes she really blamed herself for this. She offers her team’s help.
In Latveria, Dr. Doom has taken his prisoner Beast to a lab where he will do his work. He reminds Hank that he controls him chemically. He cannot do anything Doom doesn’t want him to. Die in a fire, Hank tells him. Doom points out he needs Hank but, if he keeps up this kind of talk, he will find a way to hurt his loved ones. He wants to see the multiverse and meet his other selves. Hank tells him he can’t do it. That’s why he is here, Doom remarks. Together they will turn this broken time cube into a dimensional portal.
Canada:X-23 runs out of the Weapon X facility, screaming in rage. While Jimmy Hudson and Angel watch her, she rants angrily. Why can’t they ever find a world better than theirs, something to aspire to?
Is she gonna make snow angels all day or does she want to get out of here? a voice asks. She looks up to see two Jeans floating above her. Look at that, Laura is actually happy to see her, Jean jokes. Except there’s two of her. Oh, he sees it too? Angel asks.
Soon they are in the X-Jet. Older Jean tries to explain, during which Rogue gets a shock on seeing Angel, since their version died. Older Jean asks Storm if she should fly, but Storm doesn’t want to go back to the others. Seeing Warren hurts too much. Jean jokingly suggests they keep this one.
Did they say he is dead here? Angel angsts before he sees Kitty and addresses her as “professor.” Kitty is flattered she is a teacher in the other world, then tries to comfort Angel about his dead alter ego, not doing a very good job.
Oh come on, Iceman sighs disgustedly after having Googled himself and finding out where the other Iceman is.
Young Iceman is still in Atlanta chased by a police helicopter and cars and losing his ice-form due to the heat. He swears while a curious crowd gathers. Nighttime and it’s still hundred eleven degrees?
The police catch up. Armed cops order him to get to the ground. Bobby asks the crowd for water and is offered a beer. Alcohol doesn’t really help, he replies.
The cops threaten to open fire on the count of three. Suddenly it gets very cold. Bobby realizes it isn’t him but it gives him the chance to ice up. The cops fire, not caring about the bystanders. Bobby covers them all with an iceshield. Cease fire, a captain orders.
Storm lands and it becomes clear who helped Bobby out. She tells him to come. They have more mutants to rescue, and hopefully it will be as easy as this was.
Latveria:Hanging down from the ceiling, Beast writes down what he knows about the timeline of the universe he comes from, much to Dr. Doom’s pleasure. A Doombot informs the villain that Latverian airspace was entered by an unregistered aircraft.
Doom puts the image on the screen and loudly assumes those are McCoy’s X-Men. He wonders how they found him. Hank replies they must have found a Cerebro. After he explains what that is, Doom orders him to later draw him the schematics for that as well when he has finished his time map.
Doom next gives orders to destroy the plane. Hank begs him not to do this, offering to do anything. He already does anything, Doom replies and gives the order.
Aboard the jet, young Iceman sulks that his older alter ego has refused to talk to him. Angrily, the older Iceman tells him that he has made him look like a bad guy. Now he can never go to Atlanta. And for that he is welcome, Bobby shoots back.
Young Jean grins that Bobby is as much annoyed by himself as he annoys her. Kitty finds that hilarious and both Icemen are insulted.
An alert goes off, warning them the plane has been spotted. Marvel Girl tries to telepathically connect to Beast, who informs her of what’s going on. Jean informs the others that Dr. Doom has him. Do not try to psychically manipulate him, older Jean warns. They have a Dr. Doom too? Angel asks. Older Jean explains that he is actually called Victor van Damme.
Storm interrupts and orders them to take their seats. Young Jean asks Hank to allow her control of his mind and body. She might be able to overpower Doom’s mind control with her own. He groans. Older Jean backs her up.
Doom gets ready to give the order when Beast jumps at him.
The plane lands and they leave while Hank tries to get past the Doombots. Doom orders them to incinerate all mutants. That moment, Miles is hit. An explosion follows.

Dr. Doom stands triumphant, at his feet the unconscious X-Men of two worlds. Foolish children, he calls them. He picks up Spider-Man and unmasks him. He wonders what Norman Osborn knew about the advancement of genetics that he does not. He decides he is going to dissect Miles.
Marvel Girl awakes and sees Miles in Doom’s hands. She psychically lashes out and the two try to blast each other. He admits she is the strongest psychic he has come across but he is sorcerer and scientist supreme. She cannot win against him. She wasn’t trying to win, Jean retorts, just distract him while she psychically wakes up her friends. Which she did.
The Icemen, Jean and Storm attack Doom at once. Kitty plans to phase through him to mess up his armor. Before she can do that, he is surrounded by a blinding light and then is gone. Older Jean cannot sense him anywhere. Beast suggests they leave him with a present.
While the others tear at the Doombots, Hank has X-23 defend his back while he hacks into Doom’s systems. He orders everyone out of the castle and they wait until finally the castle blows up. Brainwash me, you son of a bitch, Beast grumbles. Can they go home now? Iceman asks.
Elsewhere, Carmen looks at another dimension gate she accidentally opened, in this case Old Man Logan fighting the Thing. Please stop, she pleads. The gate changes and again she has opened the gate to Asgardia. Volstagg tells her Midgardians should mind their place. This is completely inappropriate. She screams and the gate’s energy is absorbed into her.
“Take a deep breath,” Angel tells her and asks her not to panic. The X-Men have arrived. They explain to her what happened. Jean again offers to help her psychically. Carmen is calmer now.
Young Jean is going to keep Carmen calm and older Jean is going to guide her to help her find the right Earth. They stress that they won’t control or hurt Carmen, just help her. Carmen agrees. The others get ready in case any threats will get though the portals to push them back in.
They begin and Carmen opens a portal to the House of M reality where the rebels are fighting Magneto’s forces. The others are confused but Carmen closes it and tries again.
Another reality where Wolverine, Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man are the Horsemen of Apocalypse. Firestar incinerates the attacking Wolverine, giving the other Horsemen pause. Iceman shouts at Carmen to close the doorway and she does.
The others are horrified by what they’ve seen. Beast suggests Jean reach in deeper to find which synapses fired in Carmen’s brain when she sent them here. They encourage Carmen and get ready to try again.
Another doorway opens over a Manhattan sky and they see Iron Man and the female Thor flying by. Young Jean telepathically reads Iron Man‘s mind. He is the right one, but she is disgusted by what she sees. Older Jean adds that, no matter what world you’re from, never read a Tony Stark’s mind.
The groups of X-Men say their goodbyes, some more enthusiastically than others. Jean gives Spider-Man a kiss on the cheek and tells him he’s the best. They enter the portal and it disappears.
Just because the other Jean kissed him doesn’t mean she will, the older Jean warns Miles. This mindreading thing’s really not fair, he sighs. He asks for a ride home. He is not so annoying as the other Iceman, right? Iceman asks. Yes! the others shout.
Earth 616:The X-Men take Carmen home, where she is hugged by her relieved mother. Carmen explains she is a mutant.
While they discuss the situation. Beast thinks at Jean not to read his mind. She wasn’t trying to. She knows he had a particularly bad day… No, he had an illuminating day, he corrects her. He saw yet another version of them. A world where the mutant condition is worse. Where real evil is everywhere. He’s sick of it. They need to change the world and need to do it now! What does that mean, she asks but he doesn’t reply.

untitled
A dirty quarter of Madripoor, now inhabited by mutants:Magik teleports Emma Frost and Jean Grey there. Jean is immediately disgusted by her surroundings. If she’d known where they were going, she’d not have agreed to this. That’s why she didn’t tell her, Emma replies unimpressed. She’ll acclimate.
Emma tries to dismiss Illyana, who’d rather stick around. Emma informs her this is private. Illyana doesn’t want to return to the school but Emma remains hard. Magik leaves, threatening she will move to an island and forget about all of them!
Jean warns Emma that Illyana was very angry. She’s doesn’t like using her teleportation as a car service. Emma points out that she also hates it when people read her mind and, since she is carrying an entire demonic dimension around inside of her, Jean would do well to stay out of her mind.
They walk down the street. Okay, Jean begins, they are here in the armpit of the world… Emma corrects her it used to be the armpit of the world. Now it’s more like the steamy undercarriage. But why are they—
A mutant is thrown through a window. This, Emma replies. This is a baaaad place.
Another mutant jumps after him.
This was HYDRA territory, then it was ninja assassin territory and most recently the lovely and talented Mystique tried to make it a mutant utopia. Utopia? Jean echoes in disbelief as the brawl turns into a free for all. Emma concedes they and Mystique might have different definitions of the word. She thought it meant “an island of decadence where mutants can feed off each other’s basest desires.” She was selling Mutant Growth Hormone to anyone who would buy.
As Jean telekinetically splits up the fighting parties, she asks what that is. Emma explains MGH is an illegal drug that grants mutant powers. She abruptly changes the subject. So, she promised to train her. Today’s the day.
Jean doesn’t want to read anyone’s horrible mind here. Good, Emma replies, because she is going to turn off Jean’s psychic powers. Emma focuses. How did she do that? Jean cries a moment later. Practice, Emma retorts. Jean demands she put her powers back. She gets them back when she passes the test, Emma insists. She thought Emma’s psychic powers were broken? They were. She’s been working with the Stepford Sisters to repair them. Slowly, slowly, slowly… She’s getting there. She’s almost there. She’s pretty much there… Since when? Jean bursts out. Why hasn’t she told anyone? Because if she teaches her one damn thing in this life, it’s this: A lady keeps her secrets. She bops her nose, walks ahead and orders Jean to follow.
What are they doing here? Jean asks. Honing the part of her power that desperately needs honing, Emma replies. And as long as she can’t poke people’s minds with a stick, she is not going to get there. As Emma has recently experienced, it’s not a guarantee that you will have your psychic power available all the time. And believe it or not, she’s not always going to be the fresh-faced cute little red-head that turns every man’s head forever.
When did she get her psychic power back? Jean repeats. Emma orders her to pay attention. The good news about this hellhole is that almost everyone here deserves a beating for something. Almost everyone is here because they are actively looking to do something bad to someone else. So let that clear whatever conscience she is carrying around—
Are they in the Danger Room? Jean interrupts. She is a big fan of field training, Emma replies. She is not a big fan of the Danger Room. That’s how she learned. In the field. In the real world. Jean is here in this time because she is looking for a second chance and the first time around she trained in the Danger Room and things didn’t end well for her. So she’s training Jean out here and she’s going to make her the best version of herself. Which is? Jean asks, arms crossed. Emma reveals her telekinesis is her most attractive feature. It is what makes her a more precise warrior. Or it will, when Emma’s done with her.
Jean still smarts about her cut off psychic powers. Emma promises to teach her next time how to not let that happen. Like Xavier should have, the minute he met her. He would have if she’d had the power when he knew her, Jean defends her mentor. It’s cute she thinks so, Emma replies amused. Of course he would have, Jean insists. Amazing how those power came into play the minute he wasn’t around anymore, Emma points out. That’s not true, Jean stammers. She doesn’t know that…
Emma points to a building. In there is a target worth putting down, so says Cerebro. And Jean will do it using only her telekinesis. Jean points out she knows how to use her telekinesis. If she did, it wouldn’t have taken her so long to figure out she can use it to levitate herself and fly! Emma shoots back. And she would not have done so by accident. Is she saying Xavier kept her psychic powers dampened? On purpose? She is saying she needs to grow the hell up! What’s in there isn’t the Danger Room. It’s real. But Emma has her back, Jean almost questions. At this stage, if Jean needs her help to pull her out, she has no business being an X-Man / person. And they both know it.
Jean walks into the building, an abandoned mall. Inside, she wonders to herself if Emma can at least read her thought. Emma answers in the positive and Jean asks what she is looking for. She’ll know it when she sees it, is Emma’s reply. Walking up to the second floor, Jean demands she tell her. That is more than she’ll get in the field, Emma points out. She’s been in the field, Jean retorts. Emma tells her not to get snippy. As she carefully touches a door, she asks if she is going to get shot. Not if she is as good as she thinks she is, Emma retorts.
Jean slams the door open and finds the Blob sitting at the table, with several Japanese gangsters. The men go for their guns. Jean recognizes the Blob but wonders why he is bigger. Emma informs her he is addicted to Mutant Growth Hormone.
Jean telekinetically removes the guns and points them at the men. She orders everyone on the ground. Recognizing her as well, the Blob asks why she is so little. Emma telepathically praises her but warns her that the Blob can take a bullet on his worst day.
The Blob slams the ground and the floor collapses and sends them all falling. Jean is barely able to levitate, however, when the Blob jumps towards her she loses control and falls as well.
Emma is disappointed in Jean, who lands in the trash. The Blob jumps at her again. Jean bares her teeth and smashes a van into him. Emma smiles.
The Blob observes she is littler than the last time he saw her. He’s a lot bigger, she replies and telekinetically fires the guns at him again… to no avail. Told you he could take a bullet, Emma comments telepathically.
The Blob asks what she is doing here. The bullets ricochet back at Jean and she barely dodges them. Stopping him from doing whatever he’s doing! she snaps back. Selling MGH compound to the Yakuza? he asks in disbelief. What could she possibly care? She’s not having this conversation, she replies disgusted. He’s betraying their entire people for money. Okay, &%$/ her then, he replies and tries to hit her.
She levitates out of the way. She reminds him of when they first met. They’d asked him to join the X-Men and he thought he was so much better than them. In retrospect, doesn’t he wish he’d have taken them up on their offer? Yeah sure, he snorts. The X-Men have it all going. Everybody loves them. It all worked out so well for all of them. That’s fair, Emma admits.
Jean insists this has to be the bottom. What is she talking about? He never felt better. He’s here in this armpit selling their people out for whoever will pay, Jean points out. Whoever will pay the most, he corrects her and moves against a lantern to distract Jean. They are going to see this through, he threatens, because she just cost him. And isn’t she already dead?
She almost loses her balance, then use her telekinesis to lift the Blob. She levitates him higher and higher and asks if he thinks the drop will kill him. No! he protests. She drops him and finds out he did survive the landing, albeit it knocked him out.
Emma is satisfied. Jean admits to feeling sorry for the Blob. That’s one for them, Emma replies and adds she got rid of the MGH. He’s such a tragic case, Jean muses. He’s a self-made man, Emma shrugs. She assures Jean she did good. Jean admits that was hard. Emma tells her she needs practice. Can she have her brain back? Emma bops her forehead and returns her telepathy to Jean.
Emma states she has seen what Jean can do and believes she has seen just a fraction of what Jean is capable of. She knows Jean holds back because she thinks there is a darkness in her, a darkness that she won’t be able to control, a darkness that will destroy her and everyone she loves.
Jean shouts at her to stop it. Emma continues Jean is not the darkness. It just isn’t in her. It just isn’t there. If it were, Emma would put Jean down like a dog, to give the rest a fighting chance. Jean has to give herself a break. Open up. Be everything she can be.
Jean admits she doesn’t know how. She knows how, Emma announces. Decide to. And she promises she’ll be there to help. This is good for the both of them. On numerous levels.
Is Magik coming back to get them? Jean asks. Oh hell, no, Emma replies. They have a long way to go… On numerous levels, Jean adds.

The Black Vortex – chapter 4
The transformed adult Beast stares at the cosmos with his new insights.
On Earth, settlers have come upon tribes of native people, he explains to the other two transformed beings, Gamora and the young Angel, all floating in space. Tribes that do not know of the advances of the modern world. They would barely know how to make fire. And what do they do when they are faced with the modern world? They see sorcery. They see demons and attack. This is what’s happening now. The others can’t see what they see or feel what they feel. Change terrifies the weak. They have to show them this is for their own good. They have to show them what they see. The have to show the others they are primitive cave people and they are the next step toward their happiness and enlightenment.
They have the Black Vortex, Gamora muses. They can make all this happen. Angel tells the two of them to do that. He’ll get the others to the Vortex. They’ll do it together, Beast replies. Angel tells Beast he is about to unlock another level of cosmic consciousness. Do that. Gamora will find Thanos and rip him in two. Give him the Vortex and send him on that quest. He can do it.
Every moment of this life unveils new universal truths, Beast muses, and it’s beautiful. Warren tells him he is happy for him. Look at him, Beast replies. A true warrior angel. Centered, powerful. He was beautiful before, but now… Oh, you! Warren jokes.
Holding the Vortex, Gamora reminds them of business. What do they want? What’s their goal? The only thing worth having, Beast decides. Peace in this universe. They figure they can do it. But how far will they need to go? Angel asks. What does Angel mean? Gamora asks. If their goal is good, how hard is it to sell universal peace? Angel agrees. Beast warns the others won’t see it. Jean Grey will see it, Angel believes. Young Jean is afraid of fulfilling her destiny to become the Phoenix. Beast points out. She’ll be the last one to see it.
Then what are they prepared to do? Gamora asks. They’ll prove themselves, Beast replies. Let’s do it. Change the universe. Show them by example.
That moment, Gamora is hit from behind by a blast from a spaceship. The others are shot as well. When Gamora reaches for her sword, someone steps on her hand, and a moment later Ronan the Accuser hits her with his hammer. Angel tries to help Gamora but is too late. The Kree flee with the Vortex. Grimly, Gamora announces she knows where they will take it and they start the chase.
The moon of Spartax:A shocked Storm looks at the devastation caused by Mr. Knife’s attack ship. Moments later, Jean’s telepathic call reaches her. She, Kitty, Star-Lord and Rocket are okay as Kitty phased them all through the attack, however she can’t sense anybody else’s thoughts. Rocket swears and curses, convinced they are dead.
Suddenly, there is an energy signature and they fear another attack. However, luckily, it is Magik who had teleported the others to safety, though X-23 took the brunt of the attack and is hurt.
Jean shushes everyone, sensing their foes are back. Storm orders Magik to take them away. To where? Illyana asks. She can only take them around this broken moon. She can buy them some time, she announces and begins to glow. She’s been training with Dr. Strange. She casts the Cryptorrik spell of Invisibility and the Slaughter Lords pass them by, not seeing them.
Hala, homeworld of the Kree:Angel, Beast and Gamora have arrived and attack. Gamora announces to the Supreme Intelligence that they are the new cosmic protectors of the galaxy. The Kree will give back what they have stolen or the Kree Empire will fall!
The heroes are in space and discuss what to do: call the Avengers? Fight their friends? They need a plan, Kitty decides. Who do they know out here who can help them? Captain Marvel wonders. As if on cue, they are hailed by another ship that heard their calls for help and they are stunned to see young Cyclops.

The Black Vortex – chapter 5
What did she think would happen? the transformed Angel, surrounded by a conflagration, asks X-23. Did she think he would love her? That he would not see what she really is? The fire begins to burn her.
Reality:X-23 awakes with a scream to find young Scott Summers sitting at her bedside. He was sure she would bounce back. He tells her she’s been through a lot. They all said it took a long time to heal. Especially for her.
Confused, she asks what he is doing here. How is he here? All very good questions, Iceman agrees. So they are all mad at him? Scott asks. For abandoning the team, Bobby points out. Scott reminds them he reunited with his dad. All he knows is Scott left them for a man with a sash, Bobby points out stubbornly.
Is this going to go on much longer? Rocket butts in. Because in that case he’d like to jump out of an airlock and accept the cold embrace of space death now. Drax decides to go right behind him. “I am Groot,” Groot agrees.
Laura asks Scott where Jean is. Avoiding him, Bobby explains. She orders Scott to make it right. He is sorry they are all mad. What did he think they would be? She snaps. Happy for him and his dad, he suggests. They can be both things, she points out. Scott follows her advice and joins Jean who is staring into space.
Mr. Knife’s flying fortress:Where is the Black Vortex? an angry Thane demands. Mr. Knife orders him to address him with respect… or not at all. Thane ignores the demand. How will Knife hold his promises to Thane without the Black Vortex? It is being pursued, is J-son’s reply.
Invisible to everyone else, Ebony Maw whispers into Thane’s ears, suggesting ways of killing Mr. Knife. Thane announces he thinks this has gotten away from J-son and he is too arrogant to admit it. He finds his lack of faith disheartening, J-son replies. He thought they had each other’s trust. He though Mr. Knife had this under control, Thane retorts. Thane announces he will return to his flock. All of this is a mistake. Well, he is certainly making one now, J-son mutters.
His Slaughter Lords are still on the moon of Spartax looking for the Black Vortex. Czar Doon fears it was destroyed. Misa orders him to keep looking. Delphinia gets her bow ready, believing the Earthers are still there. They discuss whether it is possible that they survived and whether they would be stupid enough to face the Slaughter Lords again. After all, they are stupid enough to repeat the same mistakes over and over.
Aboard the spaceship:Scott asks Jean if she is reading his mind. She already did. He thought she didn’t do that without permission. Yeah well, oops, she replies unapologetically. He tells her she looks great. She orders him to stop it. Everywhere she goes, she reads people’s thoughts and they are thinking these things about her and it just—
Poor her, he states sarcastically. It’s not flattering, it’s disgusting! She‘s not a thing. He points out thoughts are supposed to be private. He tells her he was trying to be nice. She does look great.
So does he, she admits. Space seems to agree with him. He misses Earth food so bad he could cry, Scott admits. They don’t owe each other anything, Jean remarks. Yes, they do, he disagrees. They share a silent look. Just because they grow up to fall in love and get married and whatever… she continues. It doesn’t mean… Yeah? he asks. Their faces are very close. She is a different person now, Jean stresses. So is he, he thinks. Their faces move closer. Before they can kiss, Hank is not sorry to interrupt, but they have a plan.
Elsewhere, Hala is burning as the three vengeful transformed heroes attack.
Back in the Guardians’ ship, Star-Lord has gathered the team to discuss the plan. They can’t just attack his dad’s flying fortress (are words he never thought he would say in a sentence). Corsair agrees they don’t have the manpower. Drax considers that unimportant. They try. They prevail! It’s math, Peter sighs. They can’t win. He hates math! Drax shouts.
Cyclops pragmatically asks what they need that they don’t have. He hates to say it but they need their crazy cosmic powered: Gamora, Beast, Angel. And they need the Black Vortex.
Cyclops announces he’ll take a small team back to the Spartax moon and distract the Slaughter Lords to give the others a headstart. “I am Groot,” Groot volunteers to join him.
Peter decides the rest will go try to find the others and talk sense to them. Corsair isn’t comfortable with Scott going down there. He’ll take a couple of the big guns with him, Scott smiles. He means him, Iceman grins. Jean volunteers to go with Star-Lord’s group. She can talk to Hank McCoy.
That moment, a distress call from Spartax reaches them. Panicked, Ma Savage shouts the orphanage is under attack.
Okay, they do that first, Peter amends. They can’t be everywhere, Drax points out darkly. Kids, Storm reminds him sternly. Kitty tells them to stick to the plan. She’ll grab a handful of the others and go down to Spartax.
Yet another distress call. Rocket takes it and grimly announces they found Gamora. The camera shows ruins in flames on Hala and Gamora amidst the conflagration. They declared war on the Kree Empire? Peter groans.
Kitty, Storm and Carol, in the meantime, divide the team. Kitty asks for a pilot and Corsair volunteers. Kitty and Peter share a last look, so do Jean and Scott while X-23 looks after Scott unnoticed.
Soon the three groups are on their way: Kitty, Corsair, X-23, Beast and Agent Venom are off to Spartax. Cyclops, Iceman and Groot are off to the moon and the rest is heading for Hala.
Cyclops’ groups lands on the moon to find the Slaughter Lords are gone. Iceman marvels at Cyclops’ new piloting skills. “I am Groot,” Groot remarks. That’s not going to get old fast, Bobby sighs. Scott tells him to be nice. Groot is a gentle soul. Of course he is, Bobby points out. He is a tree. Has he ever met a passive-aggressive tree? He missed him, Scott remarks and looks at the bracelet he is wearing which picks up energy fluctuations.
There’s something over there, he points but they see nothing. Oh no! Scott suddenly shouts as the Slaughter Lords come out of hiding and attack. Moments later, only Cyclops is still standing and soon not even him. The Slaughter Lords decide not to kill them, as Mr. Knife wants them.

Utopia Island, San Francisco Bay:Former home of the X-Men, now mostly in ruins:A group of four men in a boat arrive. One of them announces the place looks like total crap. He asks another man if the place hasn’t been picked apart by the Avengers and SHIELD. To this, the man who is apparently the leader asks, on their day off? His guy says this place fell down and no one has looked at it since. The X-Men just left it? A third guy asks. They don’t seem all that materialistic, the second man replies. The Black Market on this stuff is crazy hungry. They are going to retire off on this #&%(. He can feel it in his bones.
That moment, they hear a noise coming from a dark opening. Moments later, explosive goes off, taking out three of them. The one still awake curses whoever’s behind this. They could have just asked them to leave.
Several people come out from the opening. This counts, a tall man remarks. It doesn’t count, a woman insists. Not her call. They had a deal, all of them. He says, this counts.
#*%& mutants! the man shouts. They all agree that counts.
Outside the new Xavier School:The young, original X-Men and X-23 are sitting or lying in the grass outside the school, while Angel flies above them. They are all happy to be back on Earth. Even Cyclops agrees it’s good to be home. They lie down. Jean enthuses how great this feels. Hank theorizes whether this is caused by their sojourn to space, that they physically need to reconnect to their home planet. Way to ruin the moment, Bobby points out. Hank thought he was accentuating it. And yet… no, Laura Kinney decides.
That moment, Magik teleports back with burgers and fries for them. As she passes out the food, Hank wonders whether people don’t freak out when she suddenly appears in line at a fast food place dressed like that. She usually gets everything for free, magically appearing dressed like this.
As they dig in, Illyana explains that, as long as Kitty Pryde is in space, she will be keeping an eye on them and help them with their training. But she is not their personal shopper nor is she in charge of feeding their little faces. This was a onetime, special occasion to reward them for saving the galaxy. They save the galaxy, they get a hamburger. Yes, Ma’am, Cyclops replies. And if he ever calls her ma’am again, she warns him, “Baby Tyke-clops,” she’ll turn him into a toad.
Jean and Laura ask what’s going on at Xavier’s school. Illyana replies she is attending to that at the moment and leaves them as she teleports away.
Bobby salutes their new teacher’s “incredible hotness.” Jean calls him over to talk to him privately. She asks him why he says things like that. Not understanding, he replies that Magik is hot. Jean knows. And Magik knows, but… she trails off. But? Bobby asks. Jean makes a questioning gesture with her arms. He knows…, she tells him. What? Bobby asks. C’mon, she urges. He says nothing. Finally she spells out that he’s gay.
Taken aback, he asks why she would say that. She reminds him she can read his thoughts. Stammering, he orders her not to do that. Jean apologizes but— Stop! he tells her. He’s thinking it right now, she points out. Stop it, he repeats. He’s not— He is, she interjects. He’s thinking it because she keeps saying it, he claims. She said it, because he was thinking it, Jean shoots back. He turns away. Jean tries again. It doesn’t matter to her or to anyone else. It’s just… He creates an icewall between them. She sits down on her side and waits.
Some distance away, Cyclops and X-23 wonder what that is about. Beast chooses to eat.
Jean finally calls Bobby. He peers over the wall and bursts out that his older self isn’t, so— But he is, she repeats. Why everyone is so in love with her he doesn’t understand, he pouts. That’s because he is gay, Jean grins. Hey! he protests. Too soon? Jean asks. Waaayyy too soon.
Again, he wonders how he can be gay when his older self isn’t. Jean doesn’t really know. Bobby figures that maybe he couldn’t handle being a mutant and gay in a society that has issues with both. And one is easier to put away than the other. But he dated women. Not well, Jean points out. He dated Kitty Pryde, he continues. And now she is no longer lives on Earth, she notes.
Bobby thinks hard. Maybe he’s bi, he decides. They say most everybody is, Jean admits, but she thinks he is more… full gay. Yeah, he knows, Bobby finally states. He thought he …well he thought he was crazy. Or just… he doesn’t know. He’s sorry he yelled at her.
Jean reminds him that’s one of the good things about being here. She thinks here nobody cares. Not like back then. They hug. He doesn’t know what he wants to do with all of that yet. That’s no one’s business but his, she assures him. Except for her, it seems, he points out, Nosy bitch. Thank God for her, she replies and calls him an overcompensating dork.
Still hugging, he remarks they never hug. Because he is so so so cold, she points out. He wonders aloud if Angel is gay and is told no. He’s too pretty anyhow, Bobby sighs. Jean agrees. They both laugh about the new nickname “Tyke-clops” and rejoin the others.
Aboard the SHIELD helicarrier over London:Commander Maria Hill is told they have a situation. Please don’t say it’s mutant-related, she mutters repeatedly, only to be shown images at the ruins of Utopia. The energy signature isn’t in their registry. It could be unauthorized mutant activity or just an anomaly. Should they send a task force to the island? Instead of answering, Hill repeatedly head-desks.
Xavier’s:Bobby and Jean conspire on how they can make Scott’s nickname stick as they rejoin the others. Everything okay with them? Scott asks. Jean assures him everything is fine.
Warren lands. Hank immediately asks how the new wings are. Warren is feeling great. Hank still wants some blood and urine. Then he knows what to get him for Christmas, Warren deadpans. Hank reminds him he has been cosmically transformed. There’s so much they don’t know about what he’s become. Warren calms him he was teasing but his attention is on Laura Kinney. What is she doing right now? Wishing she hadn’t eaten what she just did. He asks her to fly with him. She refuses. He insists. Holding his hand out, he asks if she is mad at him. No. He calls her a liar. Finally, she takes the hand. Warren smiles and flies away with her.
Finally, he lands with her on a butte amidst the mountains. Laura calls him a show-off. So why is she mad at him? he asks. She’s not. She’s… unnerved. Because he allowed himself to be turned into this, he ventures. Yes. Want to know why he did it? She was there, Laura reminds him. Yes, but she doesn’t know why. Not really. Because he came here from the past, got stuck here and he got a real good look at the nightmare his life will become. And that is not exaggeration; that is fact. His story takes a horrible, horrible turn somewhere down the line.
While everyone was so focused on Scott and Jean, he did a little digging into himself. And it’s so bad. First, no one would talk to him about him, which was unnerving. Then he met his other self and it scared the living hell out of him. So he decided, the first legitimate chance he has at making himself different he would take. And he did. This is his do-over. Can she relate to this at all?
She looks at him seriously and he still looks good, he points out. Laura can’t help smiling. And the new him includes him saying how he feels and not letting moments go by and now that mean saying he loves her.
Laura is shocked. He doesn’t know her! He doesn’t know who she was! Yeah, he does. The hell she was born into. All the awful stuff that was done to her. Instead of wallowing in it, just like anybody else would, she’s trying so hard to be better. And he loves that… he loves her. She drags him in for a kiss. First they both look shocked, then they smile at each other.
Utopia:A SHIELD plane closes in, to find multiple energy readings and energy shield readings. Someone is trying to block something. They ask SHIELD command for advice and are told to try to make contact. The ship is shot down and lands hard.
The people in the shadows discuss whether this counts. Oh yeah, tells the others, Karma, Random, Masque, Boom Boom and Madison Jeffries. They won’t leave them alone. They will never leave them alone. Her hand still aglow with energy, Boom Boom agrees. They are going to have to fight for it!

Outside the New Xavier school:Beast, Iceman and Marvel Girl are still lying on the ground outside, enjoying being back on Earth. Cyclops sits a bit apart from them. Beast wonders where Angel and Laura got to. Does he need them to draw him a picture? Bobby asks. It’s none of their business, Jean reminds them. Says the psychic who can read their minds, Bobby points out. Don’t gang up on her, Jean jokes.
Hey, Nosy Grey, what is Cyclops thinking? Bobby asks. Ignoring Hank’s protests, Jean informs them Scott’s thinking he really missed them. Bobby tells Hank Scott is psychically emoting. That’s as close as they’ll ever get to real emotions from him.
Suddenly, a shadow falls across them. A helicarrier, accompanied by smaller jets, hovers over the school. They realize it’s SHIELD and wonder if they should run.
Magik teleports in, swinging her sword. She tells them they are getting out of here. Maria Hill asks them not to, she is alone and unarmed. The X-Men are suspicious. Holding her hands up, Hill reveals she needs their help.
He thought this was a secret hidden school, Bobby muses. How did she even know they were here. She reminds him she is the director of the biggest secret peacekeeping taskforce in the world. She mastered satellite spy programs in sixth grade. He thought they had a thing blocking that. They do, she agrees. That’s how she knew where to look: “Hey, what’s that thing blocking our satellites?”
Beast asks why they haven’t knocked down their door. Because even she needs cause. And she’s not bending backwards to go to war with the X-Men, no matter what older Scott Summers thinks. Jean announces she is telling the truth. Magik tells Hill she has five seconds before she teleports the kids out of here.
Hill announces she has a big mutant problem: Utopia. What’s Utopia? Bobby asks. Hill explains that it’s the abandoned mutant headquarters off the coast of San Francisco. It used to be the center of the X-Men universe. But this changed. There were some off the charts disturbances detected on the island, so she sent a SHIELD alpha squad to look into it. They have not returned. The footage they have shows mutant activity. It’s a mutant problem. Good mutants bad mutants - she doesn’t know. And it feels to her like they can’t afford another mutant problem. It feels to her like they are one mutant problem away from something really bad happening.
So instead of sending SHIELD over there, she was thinking maybe some of them would go there and settle it all down. What do they say?
It’s a trap Iceman! bursts out. Hill remarks that, if she wanted to trap them, she’d go over there and lock the door to their prison-like school. The end. Trapped.
Jean ascertains Hill is telling the truth. Angel and X-23 join them. Magik announces they’ll handle it and warns Hill not to follow them. She teleports them away.
The next moment, they reappear on Utopia. Bit of a fixer-upper, Hank jokes. Who knocked it all over? Depends who they ask? Illyana replies. Some say the Avengers, some say the X-Men.
X-23 volunteers to track on the ground. She tells Angel to take to the sky and Jean to scan for thoughts. No need, baby Wolverine, a new voice announces, they are right here.
Who sent them? Masque demands. Boom Boom repeats they know who it was. Karma remarks she can’t believe who they sent. What is she doing here? she addresses Magik. And what the hell did she bring with her? Magik retorts what are they doing here? Minding their own business, Karma replies and repeats her question. They were attacked, Random adds. And now they are here, Boom Boom points out.
Magik suggest they accompany them and they’ll clear this all up with SHIELD. Absurd, Masque scoffs. Boom Boom asks if she is insane. Oh, she forgot. She kind of actually is. Random shouts they came here to live in peace. But they knew they wouldn’t let them, Boom Boom adds. They are not bothering anyone, they point out. And look, here they are, Karma accuses Magik.
Random explains he made a deal with the rest of the group. They don’t retaliate, they don’t fight back, until the other side makes a move. And they did. They sent Magik’s group here. They sent mutants to hurt them.
Jean telepathically orders all the Utopians to sleep and they fall down. She explains, they are not fighting other mutants. Not if they don’t have to. But she wants to look into what they are talking about.
Suddenly, Scott fires an optic blast at Jean, then at Magik. Iceman erects a shield against the next blast. Cyclops shouts this isn’t him. Somebody knock him out! Beast complies with a foot in Scott’s face.
A moment later, X-23 snarls and goes for Angel, even as she fights the urge. Beast figures it may be something in the air, maybe a compound. Magik moans, it’s Karma. She can control you. Jean uses her new power aspect at Karma and takes her out. Laura has returned to her senses and apologizes to Iceman, who she tried to cut before. Magik continues that Karma can possess your body. Jean wryly remarks she’d be fascinated if her head wasn’t throbbing from being blasted in the face by Scott. A furious Laura asks which one she is going to carve her initials into.
Suddenly, Boom Boom attacks with several of her timebombs, although the X-Men easily defend themselves. Get off their lawn! Boom Boom shouts enraged. Jean puts all the Utopians to sleep.
The astral plane:Karma awakes in a bed. Jean is also in the room. Karma identifies her and Jean asks if she knows her. She knew her, Xi’an corrects. She realizes they are in her head and warns she can get out of this. Jean assures her she just wants to talk, not fight. Karma points out neither does she. They attacked pretty quickly, Jean remarks. Karma explains they are scared and have just had it. Everything in their lives is a fight, a slap in the face, it just never ends! Jean asks Xi’an to show her. Xi’an is reluctant but finally agrees. Jean looks into her memories.
Karma’s memories:She sees Xi’an as a child in Vietnam with her parents, her twin Tranh and her younger siblings Leong and Nga. She sees her as leader of the earliest incarnation of the New Mutants, sees her fall prey to the Shadow King and her obesity afterwards. She sees her becoming a teacher at Xavier’s, training with Emma Frost, losing hers leg and finally leaving the school with some others after Xavier’s death and deciding to return to Utopia.
Reality:Later:Everybody is awake again. Here’s what she thinks needs to happen, Jean announces.
A little later, Magik and the young X-Men explain to SHIELD that they got away. One of them must have been a teleporter. However, they did recover their missing SHIELD agents.
Really, Hill states unimpressed. Jean continues and asks why those Utopians couldn’t simply live there? Why were they under attack? Cyclops adds. Why, after all they have been through, is no mutant safe from attack? Beast demands. How come the Avengers can set up shop everywhere they want and everyone is cool with it? Angel asks. But with mutants it’s always: hit first, ask questions later, X-23 agrees. It’s enough to make people a little paranoid, is Iceman’s parting shot as Magik teleports them away.
They were lying an agent remarks. Not about the last part, Hill muses.
The Utopians have been brought to outside the new Xavier School and try to figure out where they are. The X-Men join them and explain they are off the hook. Magik explains this is their new home. In the middle of nowhere? Jeffries wonders. As opposed to where they were before? Angel points out.
Jean tells them this is the new Xavier school for very gifted mutants who have nowhere else to go. Angel points out almost no one knows they are here. There has been some turnovers lately, some vacancies. It is by far the nicest converted torture chamber he’s ever been in, Iceman promises. It has a Danger Room, Beast points out. With some of their powers, they can really turn it to the next level. They lead them inside.
Jean and Laura remain behind. What? Laura asks. Jean admits Beast was right. These mutants have been through hell. All of them have been through hell. Why is it still like this for them? What are they doing wrong? What can they change?

untitled
Vail, Colorado:Warren Worthington III and Laura Kinney are skiing down a slope, both racing each other, both taking risks. Laura, who is in the lead, uses her claws to cut off some tree branches that would prove to be obstacles for Warren. Laura laughs but, even as she triumphs, she stumbles and falls down the slope into the abyss.
Angel reveals his new fire wings and catches her, much to her displeasure. What does he think he’s doing?! He reminds her she fell off the mountain. They were racing to the bottom, she reminds him She was about to win.
She was about to crash face-first into a boulder, he corrects her. The way she sees this, he cheated. He reminds her that she threw a bunch of trees at him. Good points, she laughs as she sets her broken wrist. But he’s dating the Wolverine. And she is the best there is at surviving horrible crap.
Somewhat doubtful, Warren points out. If it hurts a lot, he doesn’t see why— Laura cuts him off with a kiss. Then she tells him he can stop trying to save her. She’s good. She orders him to answer his cellphone before that old man ringtone makes her all stabby. But make it quick; she wants a rematch. She sets her leg. He answers the call.
It’s Hank McCoy, who is currently in Florida with Evan Sabahnur aka Genesis and Idie Okonkwo aka Oya. Hank peers out of their bus and tells Evan, who is just wrestling an alligator, that they are supposed to let the bearded gentleman do it. Why would anyone pay money to see that? Idie asks said gentleman, who shrugs that people are dumb.
Hank apologizes for calling so early. Warren asks if they are still planning to join him and Laura in Vail next week. Wouldn’t miss it, Hank promises. They are meeting Bobby in Austin, then heading their way. Nice, Warren tells him. Apart from the company it’s “increb.” Laura scoffs. He hasn’t heard from Scott by any chance? He knows he hasn’t, Warren replies. Not since…
He sent him the same e-vite they got but it isn’t the first email he didn’t return. Hank agrees that Scott has discontinued his cell phone as well. He’s been tinkering around with this old Cerebro unit. It allows him to track individual mutant signatures. Unless he’s mistaken, Scott hasn’t fired a single optic blast in months.
Warren tells him to let Scott be. Hank admits he’s worried. Warren reminds him the other Cyclops died locking down the title of “world’s most hated mutant.” Imagine what it must be like walking around with a younger version of that infamous face. Is it really so weird he wouldn’t want to be flashing optic blasts all over the place?
Hank agrees but would like to be there for Scott. Warren tells him Scott takes his time with stuff. He frets, then moves on. Chances are he’s just hiding under a pulled-down baseball cap somewhere. Munching on one of those gross tuna melts. Trying to be normal for a while when nobody’s looking.
Chicago:Scott Summers sits outside in a café writing his journal. A group named the Ghosts of Cyclops is all over the news. News call them a mutant rights group. But he’s been tracing those idiots for weeks and that’s giving them way too much credit. They flashmob in, wearing X masks to scare people. Then power up for show and steal what they can carry. These aren’t activists. They are Cyclops-obsessed thugs. Cowardly, careful… but not very smart. There’s pattern to this. If it holds, today’s the day. This is the spot. He’s putting an end to—
A young woman his age interrupts him. She introduces herself as Marla and announces she’s going to be real weird for a moment. Then, right after that, he’ll decide she is sweet as peaches, she promises. She takes a selfie with him then sits down. Marla explains her mom doesn’t let her out of the house alone anymore with those Ghosts of Cyclops running around. She fibbed to get out here and now her friends are running late. So unless she wants to be forcibly dragged into the backseat of a Volvo, she needs this evidence she is not alone.
She asks for his name. Scott introduces himself and asks if it wouldn’t be easier to avoid places like this. Shopping districts. Big crowds. Lots of stuff to steal. She laughs, she takes it his parents are freaked too. Her friend Tina has to stay in Iowa all over the summer. It’s goofy. Chicago’s a big city. What are the actual chance of those freaks appearing here?
Suddenly, they are hit by a water wave, announcing the Ghosts of Cyclops. Six young people, four male, two female, some clearly mutated, all wearing Cyclops masks. One of them shouts they waited their whole lives for them to let go of fear and hate. Until one day a man stepped up with this X across his face. He shocked the world and said ‘enough was enough,’ some things aren’t worth the wait.
Is he seriously rhyming now? the African-American girl with energy hands mutters. Apparently, the other girl states. He kinda digs it, the guy with the stretch hands remarks. Who cares? Dude likes to talk, metal guy states. Cyclops might be dead and gone but his Ghosts linger on, the rhymer continues.
Scott gets up and hits the rhymer, who is spitting water. Scott moves his head away so he doesn’t get hit by the wave, but metal guy does. Scott realizes they are sloppy and untrained. He knocks him out. The girl with the energy hands tries to hit him. He dodges the blow and elbows her in the face.
Lightning girl blasts him and he now has the attention of the other Ghosts. Before they can all attack him, they notice the cops arriving and make a run for it. One of them as dropped his wallet, though, which Scott takes. The driving license inside identifies one of the Ghosts as Austin Deprez.
That moment, Marla enthuses she thought his name was Scott, not Rhonda frickin’ Rousey. Scott points out Ronda would have won the fight. She thinks he was great and, as soon as her mom sees the video, they get to go on all the dates! Anyone who can hold himself against mutant trash like that will get her seal of approval at once! Not to be racist or whatever; she knows people can’t help being mutants, but, like, if that’s how they’re gonna act, she says lock ‘em all up! It’s like: Hey, morons, Cyclops was a monster. You’re wearing a monster’s face around!
Marla suddenly notices Scott is walking away.
Austin, Texas:Iceman impresses a group of young people by creating ice sculptures, the latest one of the Thing. Same time tomorrow? they ask as he leaves. They know it! he promises.
Hank, Idie and Evan expect him. He thought they’d come later. Hank reminds him they’d agreed to lay low for a while. Bobby begins rambling how the other day there was this guy with an armadillo mascot thing up his shirt. He iced up an armadillo for him… it became a whole thing.
Is he doing all right? Hank asks. Taken aback, Bobby assures him he is golden. And Austin is super mutant-friendly. Don’t sweat the ice thing.
Turning to the others, Bobby hopes they brought their dancing shoes. This town will be hopping tonight. Two pairs, Evan assures him. Idie explains Evan has more sneakers than any five other people combined.
Bobby walks into the trailer and announces he can’t believe why the two agreed to six weeks cooped up together in Hank’s tiny nerd wagon. He breaks off… the inside is huge and luxurious. Can he interest him in a cherry slushie? Hank asks.
In the meantime, Scott has reached the campus of Algar University outside Chicago. He looks at the student ID of one Austin Deprez, one of the Ghosts lost. From a distance, the two female Ghosts wearing civilian clothes recognize him. They watch him head for the library and phone their teammates. They are given instructions.
In the library, Scott marvels at the wonders of the internet. He just types in the guy’s dorm room address but the search engine gives him everything. Welcome to tomorrow, where computers have eaten privacy, and social skills are dead. But you can watch every episode of Star Trek in—
He doesn’t get him, Deprez in his Ghost mask announces. He wants to internet creep on him? That’s fine. But good God, do it from home like a normal person! He attacks Scott with a wave of water. The other three male Ghosts are with him.
Normally, he’d like to say few words, Deprez aka Thirst continues. Who they are and what they do. Hatred and fear. It’s a whole thing. But right here, he is the only one who needs to be afraid. And he’s already heard his—
Scott belts him and follows this up with a kick.
That’s why he shouldn’t talk so much, another Ghost points out. Scott tries to flee but is stopped by the two female Ghosts. One of them hits him into the shelves. One of the big guys follows up. He grabs Scott by the throat. He is torn here. Got him beaten to a pulp, barely even squirming. Their point is probably made but it feels so good to hurt that kid. The others agree. He guesses they got to ask themselves: What would Cyclops do?
A librarian hits Scott’s attacker with a chair and orders him to leave Scott be. Thirst is about to hurt the man. Scott takes off his ruby quarz glasses. “You idiots want to know what Cyclops would do? Fine!” He lets loose with a wide optic blast. This what that &%#* would do!
That moment, Beast’s Cerebro goes off and locates Scott. Sorry, Pickles, he announces and opens a board beneath Cerebro. Inside is a Bamf, munching on chips and playing with a tablet. Hank tells him they need immediate transport.
In Chicago, the Ghosts are taken aback: is he Cyclops? No! Scott shouts. Cyclops is dead! He blasts them again. He is Scott Summers, he mutters before passing out.
Scott Summers is Cyclops, right? the African-American girls asks confused. What do they do with him? Take him with them, one of the big guys decides.
That moment, the X-Men teleport in. He doesn’t see that ending particularly well for them. Iceman points out.
