High and Mighty
Devos the Devastator venerates a pathologically insane creed where war is such a crime, it must be punished with destruction. My Inhuman family has just let the Kree stellar empire to victory over the Shi’ar Imperium. Therefore we have become the latest focus of his wrath. At the first waves of his cybernetic persecutors descend upon Attilan, we steel ourselves to face yet another duty that comes with sovereignty. It is, of course, easy to say how effectively that duty would have been performed. It is easy to say what might have been. In reality, there is an unforeseen entanglement.
The Royal City of Attilan, Hala, where Queen Medusa enters a chamber where her fellow royal Inhumans are observing the events going on in the city beneath their palace. ‘They are sort of…in the way’ Maximus remarks. ‘And uninvited’ Gorgon adds. ‘That too’ Maximus agrees. ‘Karnak? Maximus?’ Medusa calls out. ‘Yes, my Queen?’ Maximus asks. ‘Is there any way of interpreting this situation that doesn’t begin with the words…Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take it upon themselves to meddle in the affairs of the Inhumans yet again?’ Medusa asks, as down below five members of the Avengers battle Devos’ cybernetic warriors!
The Mighty Hercules rips the head off one of the droids with his massive strength, while Johnny “USAgent” Walker engages another in physical combat. The new Vision blasts one of them with his laser beam, while Dr Hank Pym a.k.a. the new Wasp flits about, firing his ray gun, as Cassie “Stature” Lang picks one of the droids up. All around them more cybernetic droids arrive, fires burn, and the city is in chaos. ‘Well, this kind of torpedoes our plans to pay the Inhumans a friendly bridge-building visit’ Hank remarks, before telling the Avengers that a quick check of his data-bank form book suggests that this is Devos.
‘So they decided to ditch the red plastic hats?’ USAgent remarks as he shoots one of the cybernetic droids. ‘I don’t get it’ Stature remarks as she prepares to stomp on one of Devos’ battle-cruisers. ‘Devo? Whip it? Forget it. Geez, Stature, your generation just doesn’t appreciate the classics’ USAgent remarks, while the new Vision flies through one of the cybernetics and becomes solid halfway through, telling his allies that as the aggressors are cybernetic in nature there is no need for the Avengers to pull their punches. Hank points out that the question remains as to why they are assaulting the Inhuman City, to which Hercules asks him if he did not heed the Vision’s words. ‘These are not men! They are robots!’ Hercules exclaims. ‘Your point?’ Hank asks. ‘We can hit them very hard! Then there will be glory in victory! And, later, banqueting!’ the Olympian boasts, before motioning to where Gorgon and a squad of Inhuman warriors have joined the battle.
Gorgon addresses the warriors as the new Inhuman Elite and tells them to target and destroy Devos’ attack drones. ‘Hail, Gorgon! Well me, old -’ Hercules begins, before Gorgon rushes over to him, ‘What kind of idiots are you, exactly?’ he asks. While the miniature Hank fires his blaster some more, Hercules looks confused, ‘What? Gorgon, it is I…Hercules! You know me!’ he exclaims, asking Gorgon why he rebukes him in such a tone. ‘The Avengers have arrived in time to help you smite this menace!’ he declares. ‘Who said we needed help?’ the savage Gorgon asks as he rips the head off of one of the droids. Hercules continues his own attack, remarking ‘But by Zeus, I like the cut of his wrath!’ Stature asks if everyone talks this way on Olympus all the time. ‘I feel like Shakespeare puked in my brain’ she remarks.
At this point, however, I knew nothing of the crisis unfolding in the streets of Attilan. I was deep in the undercity, with my husband, Ronan of the Kree. And we were facing a mortal threat of our own….
‘Alpha Primitives! Crystal, get behind me!’ Ronan exclaims. As the Alpha Primitives snarl at Crystal and Ronan, the elemental remarks that something has agitated them, spurred them to violence. ‘Indeed…but I will not permit them to harm you’ Ronan exclaims. ‘Husband, I can perfectly well take care of myself’ Crystal replies, when suddenly, the Alpha Primitives are tossed about as if in a hurricane, which whips around them. ‘Crystal, do your winds -?’ Ronan begins, before the wind dies down, and Pietro “Quicksilver” Maximoff of the Avengers comes into view. ‘She can take care of herself. But I can finish this quickly!’ Quicksilver smirks as he passes his ex-wife.
Quicksilver, from whom I am divorced, arrived alongside his Avengers teammates but, on seeing the crisis, set out at once with his peerless speed to make sure I was safe. Old habits die hard.
‘Pietro?’ Crystal exclaims, before asking Pietro what he is doing here. ‘It’s complicated’ Pietro replies, before asking ‘Wait, did she just call you husband?’ as he looks at Ronan. ‘Well…this is awkward’ Crystal exclaims, looking to the ground as Ronan eyes Quicksilver up.
Back at the scene of the main battle, Hank flits by the new Vision, remarking that he is sensing more than a hint of ingratitude here. The new Vision replies that the Inhumans are not the reluctant exiles that they once knew. ‘They now rule a stellar empire. They have new-found confidence and authority. It is quite likely that they find our arrival here both intrusive and disrespectful’. ‘Disrespectful? Pah! Ya try and do someone a favor…maybe we should just go and leave them to get their butts kicked’ Walker exclaims as he fires his weapon at the enemy drones.
Suddenly, the Inhuman dog Lockjaw teleports in with Karnak and several more warriors. ‘On the contrary, we have already located our attackers’ vulnerabilities and are not targeting them’ Karnak announces as he kicks one of the headless drones over, adding that it has become slightly more complicated ever since the Avengers got in the firing line. Karnak explains that their defensive options have been limited by their desire not to hit the Avengers. ‘A courtesy extended to acknowledge our long association’ he points out. ‘What Karnak means is…if you’re intent on helping, do so with a purpose!’ Gorgon shouts as he swats the droids away with a mace-like weapon. ‘Wow, these guys are scary’ Stature exclaims.
The Wasp flits over to Karnak, telling him that he would be more than happy to direct the Avengers’ efforts. ‘I was about to suggest that -’ Hank begins, before Karnak interrupts, announcing that Devos himself will be the weak link, and although formidable, the entire orchestration of this cyber-ware relies upon him. ‘Words right out of my mouth’ Hank mutters, before Karnak remarks that the prime Devos unit can be distinguished. ‘Can you have the Visi-’ he begins, before Hank interrupts, ‘Vision! I need you to read the situation electromagnetically!’ Hank tells him. The new Vision replies that he is already doing so, and that the complex pattern of electromagnetic signals linking all of these individual mechanisms can be traced to one cyber-tank, which he motions towards.
Gorgon races towards the cyber-tank, while everyone else gathers nearby. Hercules joins Gorgon on the front of the cyber-tank. ‘Open wide!’ Gorgon exclaims as he stomps on the windshield. ‘Put your back into it, friend!’ Hercules calls out, before they burst inside, followed by Karnak and USAgent. There stands Devos, various wires connected to his body, he shouts ‘Your crimes are uncounted! Your dead victims demand this restitution! You have instigated war! You have committed the ultimate -’, before Walker exclaims ‘Somebody shut that jerk up!’. ‘Gladly’ Karnak declares as he taps Devos’ temple, causing him to fall to the floor. ‘Now perhaps you would be so good as to -’ Karnak begins, but Hank interrupts: ‘Interface Devos’ command systems with the central Kree war-net so that Attilan can take control of his cyber-ware and shut it down? Sure!’, and he smiles as he flits past Karnak.
Meanwhile, ‘So, you’re married to him?’ Quicksilver asks Crystal as they walk away from the pile of motionless Alpha Primitives. ‘Yes’ Crystal replies. ‘That great oaf?’ Pietro asks. ‘He’s actually rather sweet’ Crystal tells him. ‘It’s a marriage of convenience, obviously. A political thing’ Quicksilver exclaims. ‘It’s a -’ Crystal begins, before telling her ex-husband that she does not have to justify anything to him. ‘No, of course you don’t’ Pietro replies, before asking if Ronan makes her happy. ‘Pietro!’ Crystal snaps. ‘Does he make you feel like I used to?’ Pietro asks. Crystal frowns and replies ‘No, he doesn’t, thank Randac he doesn’t!’ before asking Pietro why he has come here.
Quicksilver rubs his forehead as he replies that he has come to make amends, and to issue a formal apology to the Inhumans for his past actions. ‘I’m not getting off on the right foot, am I?’ Quicksilver asks, to which Crystal tells him that his tone could use some work. ‘Indeed. Needling you over your new husband is probably not the most endearing approach, is it?’ Pietro remarks. ‘No. Explain it all, Pietro. From the beginning’ Crystal tells him, as Ronan approaches them.
Later, Hank walks behind Medusa on the balcony of the Inhuman palace. ‘We meant no offense, your majesty’ Hank tells Medusa, who replies that times have changed. ‘The Inhumans are no longer a troop of beleaguered outcasts who jump up in bright-eyed delight every time the Avengers arrive to save them’ she exclaims. ‘That’s really not fair’ Hank replies. ‘Perhaps it is not. But the Avengers have nothing to prove. The legacy of your achievements is widely known’. They stand and observe the Avengers and Inhumans who are supervising the rounding-up of the remaining Devos drones, and Medusa tells Hank that the Inhumans have everything to prove. ‘We are not a “super team”, Dr Pym. We are a royal house. A cosmic dynasty. We must clearly demonstrate our ability to rule and protect. We do not need to be bailed out by celebrity heroes’.
Hank tells Medusa that Devos’ assault was real and credible, to which Medusa replies that they had appraised it and were about to contain it with a suite of countermeasures including sentries, destructoids and the planetary shield grid. She explains that Maximus has greatly enhanced the Kree war-net, and though Devos’ attack was unexpected, it was an ideal opportunity to prove how swiftly and thoroughly they could deal with a threat. ‘And we got in the way’ Hank mutters. ‘The Avengers need do nothing to earn our respect…except respect us’ Medusa tells him.
Dr Pym and Medusa look at each other as Hank tells her that he was truly saddened to learn of the fate of Black Bolt. ‘The fate of Black Bolt is not yet decided’ Medusa replies. ‘Of course. But I know how you feel, Medusa. I lost my wife to the Skrull invasion’ Hank replies. ‘Janet. I’m sure you remember her’ Hank remarks, adding that, ultimately, it was the Skrull invasion that took Medusa’s husband from her also. ‘We have both adopted our beloved partner’s role…Wasp’ Medusa replies. ‘Indeed, your majesty’ Hank responds. Medusa smiles, before asking if the loss will ever ease. ‘I hope not. It’s all I have to remind me how it felt to be in love with her’ Hank replies, before Medusa asks him why he came here. ‘One of our number needed to say sorry’ Hank reveals.
The next day, Pietro and Crystal walk side-by-side through Attilan, and Quicksilver remarks that times have changed, that he has never seen the Inhumans so positive, so determined and so purposeful. Crystal replies that it is a new era for them now, and that for too long they have allowed others to shape their destiny. While their daughter, Luna, watches from a balcony, Quicksilver tells Crystal to be careful. ‘Don’t run before you can walk’ he tells her. ‘Ha! That’s fine advice coming from you!’ Crystal replies. Pietro replies that he can be quite vexing. ‘Until later…’ he remarks as he leaves Crystal, while Ronan approaches his comely wife and asks her if everything is all right.
Crystal replies that Pietro was just admiring the new confidence of the Inhumans and the Kree. ‘Really, I wasn’t prying’ Ronan assures Crystal, who tells him that she knows he wasn’t, and kisses him on his cheek. Crystal takes Ronan’s arm and tells him that they must urgently consider the incident yesterday - the revolt of the Alpha Primitives. ‘It is a matter of domestic terrorism, and thus falls under my remit’ Crystal adds, before asking Ronan if, when this ceremony is done, he will help her to investigate. ‘Gladly’ Ronan replies, while Medusa joins Luna in watching Crystal.
How much pain have the Skrulls caused us? It was a Skrull army in the form of my ex-husband Pietro who stole the Terrigen Crystals from us. Now, to make amends for the way his identity was likewise abused, and to repair the rift between him and my people, Pietro is returning the long-thought missing Xerogen Crystals to us. The Avengers recently rediscovered the crystals during an operation on Earth. They are a reminder of a dark place in Inhuman history that we will never speak of. Still, we celebrate Pietro’s gesture and exculpate his shame.
A lavish ceremony is held in which Quicksilver hands the Xerogen Crystals over to the Inhumans, and is forgiven for his past crimes.
Later, Hala City, the Northern Radius suburbs, where, inside a laboratory, Lord Zaerk asks Doctor Vere if he is claiming that the test was a success. Doctor Vere replies that it was, adding that it is perhaps unfortunate that the assault by Devos gained more attention than the incident. ‘But, a success? Ronan and the Inhuman female survived’ Lord Zarek exclaims. ‘Oh, wake up, my Lord!’ the Doctor remarks, before revealing a strange piece of machinery, exclaiming that, within a week, the Alpha Primitives will rise in mass, and a berserk revolt will follow. ‘And we ill have complete control of their frenzy!’ Doctor Vere exclaims. He adds that the ancient, noble houses of the Kree, so diminished since the Annihilation War, will be restored to full eminence and power. ‘And the Inhuman usurpers will be driven from their palaces and killed!’ Lord Zaerk boasts.
On the day that we stood beside the Mighty Avengers and denied Devos the Devastator, the mission commanded by my cousin Triton was entering the Fault. His mission was to assess the danger the vast rip in time and space caused by our former King’s Terrigen-bomb posed to imperial security.
‘Triton! Come look!’ the Kree called Ra-Venn exclaims from within a small space craft flying alongside the Fault. Triton asks her what she has got, to which Ra-Venn exclaims ‘Almost too much data to process! The energetic turbulence is extreme!’. Triton examines the monitor and replies that he has seen that from the helm. Ra-Venn tells hi that the whole region is awash with exotic energies that they have never seen before. ‘Look, I think we’re detecting forms of temporal particles previously unknown to science’ she exclaims. ‘Extraordinary!’ Triton declares.
Ra-Venn replies that none of that is why she called him aside, announcing that she has just detected an acoustic source deep in the Fault ahead of them. ‘An…acoustic source?’ Triton asks. Ra-Venn explains that she has scanned it carefully and that the wavelength signature is unmistakable. Triton asks Ra-Venn what she is saying, to which Ra-Venn replies that it is a voice. ‘The voice of Black Bolt!’.…

Chapter One: Hell
'NYAAAARGH!' Logan a.k.a. Wolverine roars as he keels over, is blue and yellow costume torn, blood splattered across his body and pools of blood forming on the ground. His claws glow as they protrude from his hands – he drops his hands into the blood, which sizzles with the heat of his claws. Logan raises his blood-soaked hands, and looks out into a laboratory, where armed operatives lie motionless, sprawled across the floor – covered in blood, some with multiple wounds, one with no head. In a glass cage within the lab, a large sabretooth-tiger scratches at the glass. Logan looks at his hands as he sheathes his claws. He sees another cage, this one containing a mastodon. He notices a wound on his right side, and touches it, before hearing someone call out for water.
Logan moves behind some equipment, where he sees a blood-soaked scientist, backing up against some other equipment. The scientist appears frightened: 'No... no... they killed you. You're dead!' the scientist gasps. Wolverine holds a bottle of water out to the scientist. 'Doesn't seem like it' Logan points out, before telling the scientist to calm down, that he won't hurt him 'You're... you're not... are you him?' the wide-eyed scientist asks, taking the water. As the scientist drinks the water, Wolverine tells him that he doesn't really know how to answer that, and explains that everything is a little foggy right now. 'What is all this? Who are you?' Logan enquires. The scientist introduces himself as Bernard Delacroix, and tells Logan that this is his lab, that Soteira brought all of this here, he works in de-extinction, cloning, which is why they wanted him.
'But when I finally understood why... what Persephone wants to do... I just said no. do you understand? That's all I did. All of this... just because I told them no' Bernard remarks, hanging his head and looking down at his blood-soaked stomach. Bernard tells Wolverine that if he is really who he appears to be, then he has to stop them. 'You have to go after Soteira and tear them down to the ground'.
Bernard informs Wolverine that Soteira's team just left, that he can still catch them – end them – then he can go find Persephone and end her, too. 'All right, friend, sure. Whatever' Wolverine replies, suggesting that he finds Bernad a doctor first. Wide-eyed, Bernard tells Wolverine no, and that he must try to remember that Logan was a great man, until Soteira stole that from him. He explains that Persephone wants to do that to everyone on Earth – she wants to take their greatness. 'Bring her down... if not for the world, for what she did to you' Bernard pleads.
Wolverine admits that he may be fuzzy on the details, but he can still count. 'I'm just one man. I'm supposed to save the whole damn planet?' he asks. 'You've done it before' Bernard tells him. '... what?' Logan asks. Bernard tells him that he doesn't have time to explain, that he needs him to go now, to catch up to the Soteira team, make them bring him ot Persephone. 'Save us, and save yourself'. Bernard takes Wolverine by his wrist, and adds 'But before that...please. It's the only way' he tells Logan as he places Logan's fist to his forehead. 'What? What are you saying?' Logan asks the scientist. Tears form in the scientist's eye, as he tells Logan that he has to – if he doesn't, it will never end for him. ''ll never rest. She'll just...' Bernard utters, and Wolverine turns away as a grenade is suddenly thrown into the ruined laboratory.
The grenade bounces towards Wolverine and Bernard, who looks shocked – but neither can react in time as the grenade explodes, sending a fire blazing through the lab, which knocks Wolverine aside. He starts to get to his feet, but looks over and sees that Bernard is dead – a shard of glass sticking from his head. '#$%&' Wolverine utters, before he is taken by surprise again, but the sabretooth tiger, which has flames darting across its body, as it lunges towards Logan, knocking him backwards. 'Get off me... kitty' Wolverine gasps as he holds the creature's giant teeth away from his body, but when he said “kitty” he remembers something – someone – 'I love you' he remembers Kitty Pryde telling him. Wide-eyed, Wolverine continue to hold the creature back – but suddenly gets some unexpected assistance from the mastodon which attacks the sabretooth tiger by shoving one of its large, powerful tusks through the tiger's head, before it lumbers down a tunnel.
Wolverine looks over at the sabretooth tiger, then down at his hand, in a pool of blood. He sees his reflection in the pool of blood and tells himself to get moving, as these Soteira mugs just tried to kill him again – and now they're going to murder everyone else on the planet – including people he cares about. 'You might not remember, but you got plenty' Logan tells himself, before hearing a loud noise RATATTATT. Logan looks around, and tells himself to go stop these bastards, as he is a hero. He wonders what that even means. 'Bub... it ain't that complicated' Logan thinks. He starts to make his way down the tunnel, 'Look at you. Walking up outta this hole, and all you know is there's killers waiting out there for you' he thinks to himself, deciding that it might be that he needs a little  more motivation than all that hero $#%& he just got fed.
Logan walks past another pool of blood and sees a reflection of himself – as Weapon X this time and thinks that there is another angle that  he might want to think about – just one word – revenge. 'You can't let 'em walk away with this. No one does something like this to you' he tells himself. Logan looks down and sees a reflection of himself as Patch in a pool of water. 'Or maybe you just take back everything they stole from you. Lifetimes, buddy. They took lifetimes' he remarks. He arrives at the entrance to the tunnel, 'It's your choice, really. Whatever keeps you moving' he thnks to himself as he stares out into the forest covered mountainside, then sees the Mastodon, fallen – shot to death. Logan glances over and sees a jeep with several armed men driving away. He pulls his mask back off his face, 'Whatever keep me moving' Logan decides, as he takes a motorcycle near the entrance of the tunnel. 'Guess we'll see' he adds as he grabs a rifle and drives off down the mountainside.
Eventually, Wolverine's journey takes him to some sort of detainment center, built near a port on a body of water.  He drives the motorcycle down closer to the detainment center, while the soldiers he saw in the jeep earlier drive into the camp. An announcement can be heard over a loudspeaker, instructing all residents to assemble immediately. The men, women and children in the center approach the soldiers, and one of them asks 'Why are you here? We've done everything you've asked. What do you want?' The soldier doesn't respond instead he points at a woman who has her arms wrapped around her teenage son. 'No...no, please. It's not right' she tells him, before begging him not to do this. Fire suddenly spreads throughout the detainment center. Wolverine's motorcycle speeds closer to the center, while a man escapes through a now open gate. 'Oh God, oh my God...' he calls out. A sniper stands in a tower and aims his gun, 'Don't you do it. Don't you -' Wolverine utters, but the sniper opens fire, and blasts a hole straight through the fleeing man's chest.
A determined look on his face, Wolverine speeds towards the center, however the sniper sees him and alerts other soldiers to his approach. One soldier signals something to the sniper, who opens fire at Wolverine. Logan swerves the motorcycle, narrowly avoiding being stuck by the gunfire. 'My turn, you son of a bitch' Wolverine snarls as he grabs his rifle and opens fire at the sniper, several bullets striking the man and blasting his helmet back – revealing his grayish skin and an omega symbol on his face – Omega Red. A coil suddenly moves from his sleeve, grabs his rifle and opens fire at Wolverine again. A blast strikes Wolverine's motorcycle, which causes the motorcycle to flip, and sends Wolverine careening into the air – he falls to the ground and lands with a thud against a large stone. Logan lies on the ground, stares upwards – then closes his eyes.
in Wolverine's mind / psychic projection:'Bub. Bub. Bub' a version of Wolverine repeats over and over, sitting in a stark cell. 'I wouldn't get too close, gorgeous. That guy's crazy' a woman in a white coat remarks as she approaches Wolverine – Wolverine who is not sitting in the cell. 'He's locked in a cell. What's he gonna -' Wolverine begins, when suddenly, the other Wolverine shoves his claws through the cell bars, attempting to cut Wolverine. The woman tells him that he is okay, and that he can't get at him unless he lets him out. 'Nothing in here gets out... unless you let it out' the woman explains, motioning upwards to rows and rows of cells. Wolverine looks around the cells. He sees Storm in one. Weapon X in another. Sabretooth. Cyclops. Another version of Wolverine and even Lady Deathstrike.
The woman hands the key to Logan and tells him to take a look aroudn, as there are lots of interesting things to see. 'Open any door you want' she suggests. 'Any door?' Logan asks. 'How about that?' he enquires, looking at a brick wall with three red dots that is positioned between two cells. The woman points out that that is not a door, but a wall, and that it is there for a reason. 'You don't want to look in there, Logan. You'd be...very upset. Trust me' the woman tells him. Logan looks at her and asks 'Who are you?' The woman introduces herself as Persephone and tells him that they are very good friends. 'Persephone, huh? A dead man told me you're going to do something terrible. Said I should do everything I can to stop you' Logan tells her. Persephone tells Wolverine that he was misinformed, then places her lips on his and kisses him. 'Baby, I brought you back to life' Persephone reveals.
Reality:'Please! You have to wake up! Wolverine! WAKE UP!' a voice screams. Logan opens his eyes. 'I'm up' he utters. The woman from in the detainment center earlier helps Wolverine up, she introduces herself as Ana and tells him that he has to help her. 'They took my son. We need to go after them now, before it's too late' she declares. Wolverine sits up and tells Ana that he will help her if he can, before asking 'Who the hell is Wolverine?' Logan looks around, as Ana utters 'I...you. You are Wolverine' she tells him, putting her hand to his muscular chest. 'You say that like it's supposed to mean something. I woke up, and then everything exploded, and then I was fighting a damn Sabretooth' Logan tells Ana. In his mind, he sees a different kind of Sabretooth – Victor Creed – snarling 'I hate you'. Wolverine tells Ana that he can fight, and that he knows stealing kids is wrong, but that is about it. He adds that when he gets hurt, he heals up, fast – too fast. 'Except for this. Don't know why' he remarks, referring to the wound on his right side.
Ana and Wolverine walk into the detention center, as Ana tells Wolverine that he can find the tiniest scents on the wind – that he can hunt – and he can kill. 'You can kill anything' Ana informs him. 'Anything, huh?' Wolverine replies as they walk past a garage door with a white and red emblem on the front of it. Some smoldering bodies are on the ground nearby. 'Yes. And now I need you to kill the people who killed my friends and took my son. Those monsters from Soteira' Ana tells Wolverine, who informs her that he has been hearing that name a lot, as he follows Ana into a building. Ana explains that this was their place, a research facility, that they were bringing scientists here, collecting them, all different kinds, helping them with their wok. As Ana prepares some sort of stapler, Wolverine removes his shirt and informs her that he think he met one up at the other facility, one who made the tiger.
Ana acknowledges the other scientist as Delacroix, and explains that they didn't want to keep his animals here in case of accidents. 'Yeah. Wouldn't want them getting out. Someone might get hurt' Logan mutters, while Ana tells him to sit and that she will close his wound. As Ana begins stapling Wolverine's skin over his wound, Logan asks her how she knows all this, and why Soteira took her son. 'Is he a scientist too?' Logan enquires. Ana tells him gthat he isn't, and admits that she worked in the canteen – but people talk when they eat – they don't realize who is listening. 'You can learn a lot' she points out, adding that her son, Perren, is fifteen, and when the Soteira team came to destroy the facility, they injected him with something from the labs. 'Wanted to make him a living incubator, maybe' Wolverine suggests. 'Stick him with something, let it grow inside him, then harvest it when they get where they're going'.
'What? Harvest him? How do you know that?' Ana asks, concerned. Wolverine tells her that he doesn't know for sure, it just feels like something – maybe he has heard something like that before. He adds that it doesn't matter, and that he will get her son back. 'And then you will kill the ones who took him. Because you're Wolverine' Ana declares. Wolverine asks Ana how she knows that, and whether they know each other. As she retrieves something from a locker in the lab, Ana explains that they don't know each other personally – just that Wolverine is famous. 'For killing' Wolverine responds. 'Not just that. Other things too' Ana assures him. Ana hand Wolverine a black costume from the locker and informs him that most of what she knows is rumors – people like her, ordinary people, they don't interact with people like Wolverine very often. Ana adds that she knows three stories – things she knows are true, and can tell them to him. 'So tell me' Wolverine replies as Ana turns away from him and he changes into the costume she gives him. 'All right' Ana responds.
in Ana's story:Ana knows this story happened – because she saw it happen – she was there. 'It is the story of why you wear yellow and blue' she explains, recalling how a man lost to anger came to the city one day. He had built a machine and put weapons on it and himself inside it – and then he used the weapons, blasting them around the city. Ana didn't know why, or what he wanted, maybe just to hurt people, and while most could run, and did, he came to a place where the people could not run – a hospital. He aimed one of his weapons at a man who held his arms up. It seemed like this was what the man wanted all along. He was about to fire his weapons and kill all those defenseless people – but then Wolverine appeared, in yellow and blue. Ana tells Wolverine that there is a bird in her country, the weaver bird, it is also yellow, and when it appears, you can't take your eyes from it. Ana tells Wolverine that is why he wears his colors, she thinks, so that when he appears, the evil men look only at him, remembering how the angry man turned to Wolverine and opened fire.
As Wolverine was struck by the angry man's weapons, he fell backwards, and Ana believed that he was dead – who could survive such a thing? But, Wolverine was alive, and he stood up, and then he did the other thing that they say Wolverine can do – he made the knives come from his hands. He popped his claws with the familiar SNIKT sound, as he leapt forward and started slicing away at the angry man's machine of destruction. 'You are a hero' Ana remarks.
Present:'Because I kill people... you say I'm a hero?' Wolverine asks as he stands up wearing a black costume with a red trim around the collar and down the sides. He adjusts his gloves, while Ana tells him 'No. Because you save people'.
in Wolverine's mind:
Logan takes the key and opens a cell door. 'Decided to let me out first, huh?' Wolverine wearing a yellow and blue costume smiles. 'Guess so. Word is I'm a super hero' Logan remarks. 'Hell yeah we are' Wolverine in the yellow and blue smiles.
Present:“Wolverine” Logan quotes, before reminding Ana that she said the people who took her son are with Soteira, and asks her if she has ever heard the name Persephone. Ana informs Wolverine that Persephone runs Soteira and that her son is being taken to her – to her city. 'She is the architect of all this. Persephone... is the Devil' Ana declares. Wolverine frowns. 'Yeah?' he asks, before turning to Ana and popping his claws  he suggests they go meet the Devil!

Chapter Two: Limbo
The sea, where a small jetboat races across the clear blue waters. 'Can you see them, Logan?' the woman known only as Ana asks. Wolverine a.k.a. Logan looks through some bionculars and tells Ana that be can, but her son isn't on deck, so these Soteira bastards must have stashed him below. 'But the bad guys... yeah. I see them' Logan confirms as he looks at another jetboat ahead of them. Ana asks Logan if they will be able to catch up. Logan tells her that this boat is faster, but the Soteira guys are going full out, and they have a head start. 'If we had enough time, yeah, we'd have them' he adds, before explaining that if they get to land first, and they have a vehicle waiting, or a plane, then things are not good for them. Logan frowns and asks Ana if she has any idea where they are going, and recalls that she said Persephone has a city. 'What does that mean?' he asks. Ana closes her eyes and admits that she doesn't know the specifics, she hasn't seen it, she has just heard things – that it was across the water, and she was testing something there.
Logan tells Ana that he has been thinking about that, and reminds her that Persephone's kill team injected her son with something – it could be a biological weapon. He adds that if Perren is the incubator, then perhaps the idea is to test it on a larger population, like a city. 'Oh...oh my God' Ana utters. On the other boat, one of the Soteira soldiers notices the speedboat approaching them as Logan turns to Ana and tells her that he is sorry. He takes her hand and explains that he doesn't always think before he talks. 'Your son will be fine. Whatever Persephone thinks she's gonna do with him... it won't happen' he assures her. 'You swear it? Perren will be all right?' Ana asks, unaware that one of the Soteira soldiers motions to two others – Omega Red and a masked man. 'I swear it, Ana' Wolverine remarks as Omega Red and the masked man dive into the water.
Logan then asks Ana if she has any idea what Persephone's trying to accomplish – the big picture? 'Only a very little' Ana responds, as Omega Red and his masked companion wait beneath the water. Ana informs Wolverine that sometimes, important people would come to the facility where he met her, scientists usually, but not always – and she recognized one once, a famous singer. She adds that mostly they take a tour and leave, but some of the scientists stayed – they brought their equipment and did their research. Omega Red and the other man wait beneath the water still, as the speedboat races every closer to them. Ana glances sideways as she tells Wolverine that not long ago, they all left in big trucks, and only the support staff were left behind – then the kill team came in. 'And then... you, Wolverine'.
Under the water, Omega Red releases a carbonadium cable while his companion pops two claws. Wolverine asks Ana if she knows anything about the kill teams, recalling that he fired almost a full clip into one of them and he got right back up. Ana tells him that she doesn't, other than that they are well named. Suddenly, the claws of the mysterious man strike the underside of the boat. 'You hear that?' Wolverine asks, remarking that if he didn't know better, he would say they just hit something. An instant later, Omega Red and his masked companion flip up onto the speedboat. 'Fantastic' Wolverine snarls. Wolverine tells Ana to stay back. 'I can handle them' he boasts as he pops his own claws – but before he takes more than two steps towards the mercenaries, a harpoon is fired through Omega Red's head. 'Huh. Thanks' the surprised Wolverine exclaims as he looks at Ana, who holds a harpoon gun. 'Don't mention it' Ana replies as Omega Red falls into the water.
The man with the two claws per hand moves towards Wolverine, who asks Ana if she has another one of those weapons, but Ana tells him that there is only one harpoon in the locker. 'Okay, then you really should -' Logan begins. 'Stay back, I know' Ana replies. Wolverine holds his own claws up to the masked man and tells him that he didn't bring enough claws. But the masked man raises his claws hands and pops another claw up on each hand from the underside of his wrists. 'Hnh' Wolverine frowns as the two men leap towards each other, with the masked man knocking Wolverine backwards as he rakes his claws across Wolverine's arms, drawing blood. Before he falls off the speedboat, Wolverine is able to shove his claws into the boat's hull. The masked soldier looks back at Wolverine, then lunges to him, slashing his claws against Wolverine's other arm, as Wolverine's own claws tear part of the soldier's sleeve off his Soteira uniform, revealing some unique tattoos on his arm.
Upon seeing the tattoos, Wolverine sees an image in his mind – of Daken, behind bars. The tattoos on the soldier's arm exactly the same as the man Wolverine sees in his mind. 'Do I know you?' Wolverine asks. He gets no answer, as in his mind, he looks over to another cage, where a savage, scarred version of himself shouts 'Out out out' wanting to be let free of his cage. Wolverine falls to the floor of the boat as the masked soldier pins him down. 'OUT!' the savage Wolverine roars inside his mind, and suddenly, Logan notices his claws begin to glow. 'What the hell?' he wonders, before his attacker plungers his claws into Logan's shoulders. Logan struggles, but forces the Soteira agent backwards by kicking him off of him. Logan glances over his shoulder at the jetboat's rudder. He blocks his attacker who leaps at him again. Logan then retracts his claws, causing red lines to appear on his arm as he reaches back and grabs a cable connected to the rudder and aims it at his attacker, which dowses him in petrol.
Logan then raises his other hand, with his red-hot claws still popped, which electrifies the petrol and sets it – and his clawed attacker – ablaze, tearing away the attacker's mask, revealing that he is Daken. Wolverine pops his claws into Daken's chest, then tosses him overboard into the ocean. 'Logan?' Ana calls out. Logan spins around and points his red-hot claws at Ana. 'No!' Ana gasps, while inside his mind, Wolverine has a key to the cell where his savage counterpart is kept. 'What? No' Wolverine utters as he holds the key inches from the lock. 'D-don't please' Ana gasps, her eyes looking at the blades that are less than an inch from her face. 'Ana... I'm sorry' Wolverine utters as he retracts his claws. 'Soon, bub. Soon' the savage Wolverine caged inside Logan's mind snarls.
Wolverine sits down on the boat as Ana asks him if he is all right. Logan rubs his wrists and tells her that he is okay, just exhausted and hurt. Logan then asks Ana if she has ever heard any stories about his claws getting hot enough to ignite fuel. Ana tells him that she hasn't. Logan clenches a fist and tells Ana that it was ugly, that it felt like he was just the claws and nothing else – like they were stealing every bit of energy he had – like they were in control. Ana tells him that is ridiculous, but Logan reminds her that he has knives in his hands, magic healing powers and he can barely remember his life before this morning – it is all ridiculous. 'And you want to hear something else? That guy I just killed...I'm pretty sure I knew him' Wolverine remarks, wondering what that means as he looks back out over the water.
Logan takes the controls of the jetboat. 'We better get back after these... hm. Not good. I had to cut the fuel line to one of the engines during the fights' Wolverine explains, telling Ana that that cuts their speed in half. 'Please don't tell me we've lost them' Ana pleads. Logan assures her that they haven't, and that the others have been locked on the same heading this entire time, like an arrow, so he doubts they will change it now. 'And even if they do, we'll find them. I'll be got their scent' Logan explains, touching his nose. He assures Ana that they will catch the Soteira soldiers and save her boy, reminding her that he promised. 'I remember, Wolverine' Ana tells him, before remarking that Wolverine is so alive, and that for all he does, for all the suffering he saves others from – the heroism. 'Does anyone... ever thank you?' she enquires, putting her hand on Wolverine's.
Logan turns to Ana and they kiss. Ana's hand strokes Wolverine's bearded face, then they pull away from each other. Logan takes Ana's hand and tells her that he doesn't remember, but that he knows that is not why he does it. Wolverine looks over to the island ahead, where almost futuristic buildings have been built along the shore and up into the mountain behind them. Wolverine tells ana that they don't have time, as he thinks they have arrived.
Meanwhile, in New York, at the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, where Jean Grey is currently using the mutant-locating psychic supercomputer called Cerebro. 'I... I...' Jean utters. 'What is it, Jean?' Kitty Pryde asks, standing nearby. Jean removes the Cerero helmet and tells Kitty that she doesn't believe it – she just found Logan!

Chapter Three: Purgatory
The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, inside the office of headmistress Katherine Pryde. With Kitty are Jean Grey and Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm. The three senior X-Men look up at a projection of their missing teammate Wolverine and a woman called Ana. Kitty states that Jean managed to find Wolverine using Cerebro, so now they finally know where he is. 'Now what?' she asks, looking at the projection. Ororo asks Jean 'Why now?' and points out that surely she has used Cerebro to look for Logan before. Jean tells Ororo that she has been searching since they began to suspect that he had returned to life, but she didn't think it would work, as the psychic blocks in Logan's head make it difficult to zero in on him under the best of circumstances. Jean explains that this time she got a flash, enough to give Cypher rough coordinates, he then hacked a surveillance satellite, which is what they are seeing here in the projection. Jean adds that she doesn't know why it worked, but is glad it did.
Kitty tells Ororo and Jean that they should be careful, as they don't know that the Logan who came back is the Logan who died – and everything they have seen suggests he isn't, as he is with Soteira now. 'And that witch Persephone' Storm adds. Referring to the woman walking with Logan into the strange city, Jean asks if this woman is Persephone, but Kitty tells her she has no idea, as they don't know what Persephone looks like – all they have is her warning – if they go after Wolverine, Soteira or her, she will kill X-gene carriers – mutant kids, before their powers manifest. Storm adds that from what she saw of Persephone, this doesn't seem like her, walking into some city in the middle of nowhere. She points out that it does feel like Logan, though – finding a woman wherever he goes. Kitty agrees, and admits that she is basing a lot on not very much information, but that this looks to her like Logan has escaped Soteira and now he is on the run.
Jean wonders why he hasn't called them, to which Storm reminds her that Logan is an idiot and doesn't call for help. Jean asks the others how they handle this situation. Kitty suggests that they will go, a very small team made up of people he knows well, and that they will just talk to him about what is happening. Kitty points out that Logan is only a part of this, and as much as he matters, there is clearly something bigger going on – Persephone, Soteira – they have to understand – and if it is as bad as they think, Perseophone has to be stopped. 'We may never get a better chance' Kitty adds, looking at the satellite projection.
Meantime, at the mysterious place known as the City. It is a strange place, with futuristic buildings built along the shore and into the mountain behind them. Signs that read “Soteira, the new world is yours to build” are scattered about the city. 'This is it, huh? Persephone's city?' Wolverine asks his companion. Ana tells him that it must be, that she has never been here, but it sounds like what people described to her – imposing and built on the sea. Several citizens of Soteira look ar Wolverine and Ana, as Wolverine asks Ana if Persephone is running an experiment here. Ana tells him that she heard that, but that she has no idea what it is. Wolverine wonders if Persephone is here then – he hopes so, as he has some questions for her. 'And my son? Perren? He's here somewhere too, and we must be running out of time' Ana remarks. Wolverine tells Ana that he knows, and that her son is the priority. 'Don't worry. We'll get him back' he assures her.
'But... how, Logan? This place is huge. He could be anywhere' Ana remarks. Wolverine suggests that they start by looking for Soteira, if they have billboards here, there must be an office or factory or something. 'We'll find them, then we'll ask where they took your son'. 'Ask them? You'll just ask them?' Ana enquires. 'Yeah. Nicely, at first. And if that doesn't work... not so nice' Wolverine frowns.
Shortly, one of the X-Men's Blackbird jets descends towards the island where the City has been build. Most of the island is seen to be covered in forest. The Blackbird lands at a clearing near the City, and accompanying Jean Grey, Storm and Kitty Pryde are Bobby Drake a.k.a. Iceman and Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler.
Bobby asks Jean if she can sense Logan here anywhere, but Jean tells him that she can't, not without a boost from Cerebro to help her break through his psychic blocks. Jean then reveals that she can't sense anyone at all. 'Which is – odd' she remarks as a bottle is thrown towards her, but she suspends it in the air above her before it hits her. Jean, Bobby, Kitty, Ororo and Kurt look up to a ridge where they see police officers and civilians looming above them and throwing bottles, bricks and metal pipes at them, all of which Jean suspends telekinetically before any of her teammates are harmed.
'Leave this city. You are not wanted. Mutants bring destruction everywhere they go' one of the police officers calls out. Kitty holds her hands up and tells the officer that they are not here for trouble, that they are just looking for their friend. 'You have no friends here' the police officer responds. Kurt notices more civilians moving towards them, blocking the X-Men from the Blackbird. Kitty tells Nightcrawler that she sees them, and asks Jean if there is anything she can do with their powers to diffuse the situation. Jean informs Kitty that she has already tried, but that there is nothing here – these people, it is like they are hollow, she isn't getting anything from them. Suddenly, the police officers fire smoke bombs down towards the X-Men. Kitty becomes intangible so one of the bomb passes through her as she tells the X-Men that this is getting out of control and to make sure that no one gets hurt. 'Including us, I hope?' Kurt remarks as the smoke engulfs them and the police officers rush in. 'Your hope is as good as mine, Kurt' Kitty replies. Another smoke bomb goes off. Some slams a plank of wood into Storm, it breaks against her arm. A bottle breaks, an officer readies a batton – then uses it ot beat Nightcrawler, striking him in the face. A brick is thrown at the back of Bobby's head, as a civilian moves in with another glass bottle.
Wolverine suddenly stops in his tracks and tells Ana that something is happening nearby – he can  hear it – smell it – and people are getting hurt. Logan looks at Ana and tells her that he has to go help. 'I know. Go' Ana replies, and Wolverine rushes off, while Ana tells him that she will be waiting.
Elsewhere, some Soteira soldiers are in a warehouse checking their tanks and weapons while one of them speaks with Persephone, who appears before him on a screen. The soldier informs Persephone that their drone surveilllance is picking up Wolverine heading towards the X-Men conflict in the park, and asks her if they should intercept. Persephone addresses him as Zagreus and tells him not to, as this could be good for them. Persephone is in a sterile purple room, sitting on a white chair, she tells Zagreus  that however it happens, Wolverine will kill them – they kill him, or even if it is just a big brawl, whatever way it goes it will be useful. She adds that something is happening with Logan too, and asks Zagreus if he saw how Wolverine got rid of Daken on the boat – those claws. 'I'd like to see more, to understand' Persephone explains. 'Fine' Zargeus replies, before reminding Persephone that the X-Men ignored her warning to call off their search, so they must pay the penalty. He asks her how many of the x-gene carriers she wants to die, as he can dispatch a kill team immediately.
Persephone smiles and tells Zagreus that she doesn't want any killed, and that he should let the X-Men go back to their mansion and wonder how many children they have condemned to death by coming here today. 'Maybe they'll cook up some valiant scheme to locate and protect the pre-mutants. Whatever keeps them distracted, really'. Persephone presses a button on some sort of holo panel that appears beside her and remarks that Kitty Pryde and her teams won't matter in a few days, anyway – and neither will those children. She adds that she would rather save resources for the larger plan, and that they will  be extremely busy for a while. The view screen before Persephone changes and she sees Wolverine running through the City. 'Wolverine versus the X-Men. Wow. I'm actually pretty excited to see this. Aren't you, brother?' Persephone asks. Zagreus doesn't answer her. 'Well. I am' Persephone declares, grinning as she sits back in her chair.
'Mm. Not good' Wolverine remarks as he gets closer to the battle, which is still engulfed in the smoke. 'You all right?' Logan asks as he finds an old man who has been struck in the head and is bleeding. 'What's happening down there?' Wolverine enquires. The old man tells him that it is mutants, that he saw Storm and the one made of ice, and the blue demon, and others, too – and they just appeared without warning. He adds that he thinks they must be with Soteira, another of their kill teams. 'Soteira' Logan scowls.
Inside Logan's mind, another version of himself, telling him that he can help him take out the people he is about to fight, as he knows their powers and their weaknesses. He adds that they are damn strong, and points out that it is five on one, but claims that he can help. 'Talk' Wolverine tells this other version who is trapped behind bars. 'Okay, first one you're gonna run into... is Nightcrawler, the Elf' the black and gray costumed Wolverine announces.
'Kurt, where are you?' Kitty's voice can be heard over communicator as Nightcrawler balances on a pole, clear of the smoke. Kurt explains that he moved away from the park as he cannot operate well in the gas. Kurt adds that he is thinking perhaps he can teleport up and see what he can do about the helicopters firing into the crowd. 'The authorities in this city are truly irresponsible' Kurt remarks. The voice inside Wolverine's mind tells him that he doesn't remember Nightcrawler, but they have a history, and he can use that to his advantage. 'Kurt' Logan calls out as he appears on the ground near the pole where Kurt is perched. 'Logan?' Kurt shouts, before teleporting down to his friend. The voice inside Wolverine's head informs him that he will only get one shot, as Nightcrawler is fast and can teleport, so he's almost impossible to hit – almost.
'How is this poss-' Kurt begins, before stopping himself from moving any closer as Logan pops his claws. 'Move' the voice in Logan's head tells him, but he's too slow, as Kurt teleports while Logan lunges at him, claws outstretched. 'He'll do his thing. And you won't touch him. That's all right. Nightcrawler has patterns. Just like anyone. When he's tired, when he's acting on reflect, or maybe when he's got a lungful of tear gas...he falls back on them. Not sure he even realizes'. Kurt teleports in quick succession, while Logan lashes out with his claws, while the voice in his head assures him that he knows Kurt's patterns, that he noticed them years ago – up, down, back, left...and up again. 'Mein g -' Kurt begins as he re-appears, with Wolverine holding his claws ready to strike – inches from Kurt's face – but suddenly, Logan retracts the claws, and instead slams a fist against Kurt's head, knocking him to the ground. 'You noticed them, and you memorized them. You know...just in case' the voice in his head points out.
Back in the park: 'Please... just stop this!' Jean calls out as knocks several civilians back with a wave of telekinesis. The voice in Wolverine's head tells him that she is a telepath, he doesn't have to worry about that, but she has telekinesis, which makes her a dangerous lady – pretty, though. Wolverine moves closer to Jean as the voice in his head tells him that he needs to get her while she is distracted, and that he should use the gas for cover, as his healing factor means it barely affects him, smells like chili is cooking, that's it. 'Get close, then take her' the voice tells Logan, who suddenly emerges from the smoke, lunging at Jean. Logan has memories of her – around the time they first met, and as Dark Phoenix, and before her most recently death. 'Logan?' Jean calls out, but before Logan can strike her, a powerful surge of ice slams into him and forcing him into a tree.
'Logan! What the hell are you doing?' Bobby calls out as he moves closer to Logan and continues to cover him in ice. The voice in Logan's head tells him that Bobby Drake is a tough one, and that he has him in the deep freeze. The voice in Wolverine's head is still trapped behind the bars as he warns Wolverine that Bobby will call the others, too – and that will be that. 'Not sure you've really got a play here' he remarks, before another voice behind bars calls out 'Bub'. Wolverine roars as he tries to block the ice barrage, while inside his mind, he goes over to the other cage, where a scarred, savage version of himself is held. 'Bub' that version remarks again, while in the cage next to him is the version of Wolverine known as Patch, who tells Wolverine that he needs to be really careful, as that is the Berserker, and he ain't known for his restraint, that he is a shark in bloody waters, that one.
The ice continues to increase around Wolverine, whose claws suddenly begin to glow hot. In his mind, Logan announces that he is not just going to lay down and die – not again. He holds the key out to the Berserker's cage. 'Yeah... yeah... yeah...' the savage Wolverine calls out. 'Just calm down, Logan!' Bobby shouts, but the key clicks in place in the lock, and Wolverine's claws grow hotter. The Berserker pops his claws – they are glowing hot, too. 'Been waiting for this' the Berserker announces as he shoves his flaming claws through Wolverine's chest. And at that moment, Wolverine breaks through the ice and with his deadly hot claws, slices Iceman in half!

Chapter Four: Judgment
'Logan...' Ana calls out as she touches Logan's face '... wake up!' Ana tells him. Suddenly, Logan does, and finds himself strapped to a hospital bed. 'What the hell is this?' Logan asks. Ana explains that the hospital people were worried about him, that they thought he might go wild again. 'But they don't know you like I do' Ana remarks as she starts to undo the restraints. 'Wild? What do you mean “go wild”?' Logan asks, looking at his left hand which is covered in bandages. 'You...don't remember?' Ana asks. Logan frowns as he reveals that he remembers the start of the fight with those people, another Soteira squad, he thinks – with a teleporter and a redhead. 'Then... ice?' Logan asks, as he suddenly remembers his flaming claws slicing through a man made of ice. 'That's all' Logan tells Ana, who stands up and tells him that he won, that he sent them running. Ana smiles as she informs Logan that the people of the city helped, but mostly, it was his strength, his resolve, his anger – nothing could stop him – he drove them away.
'Though it came at a cost' Ana points out as she and Logan look out a window, to see part of the strange futuristic city in ruins, although a construction crew has already moved in to clean up and repair. 'I... I did this?' Logan asks. 'No. They did. The weather witch and the rest. They chose to come here. They knew the consequences and they came anyway. You just did what you had to' Ana tells Logan, frowning, before she suddenly smiles and tells Logan that he is a hero. Logan asks how he ended up here, to which Ana asks him if he really doesn't remember, before informing him that his claws were burning, white-hot, that it was beautiful, but that eventually, he burned out, like embers, he seemed exhausted, injured, and he was brought here for treatment. She adds that normally he recovers quickly from battles, but now, she wonders if the claws steal energy from his ability to heal.
Logan starts to put on a shirt, 'Whatever it is, I feel like I got hit by a truck. It doesn't matter. We need to go' he tells Ana, before pointing out that they need to go, as they still have to find her son.
'Logan... he's here' Ana announces, as a teenage boy walks into the room, 'Hi' he calls out, before extending his hand to shake Logan's, he introduces himself as Perren, and tells Logan that it is an honor to meet him. 'My Mom told me everything you did to save me' Perren adds, before thanking Logan. 'Huh' Logan responds, confused, before he shakes the boy's hand and tells him to call him Logan. 'Yes, Logan. Thank you' Ana adds, before she embraces Wolverine, and, to his surprise, puts her lips on his, kissing him passionately. 'Ana... your son...' Logan remarks, pulling away from Ana, who tells him that her son doesn't mind. 'I don't. You deserve it' Perren remarks. Wolverine continues to keep his distance from Ana as he asks her how Perren is here, and what about the injection they gave him? Ana explains that Soteira set him free, that they knew they could not hold him without Logan coming after them. 'And the injection...well, this is a hospital. All is well' she adds, before smiling and telling Logan that he needs to rest, as she promised to tell him three stories about himself, and she has only told one. 'There is no rush now. We have time, and I think you will find this story very revealing' Ana claims.
Ana's story:Ana tells Wolverine that every day, the people of this city wake up – they go to work – they work – they go home – they go to sleep. One such case is a man, who wakes next to his wife, then stands on a train en route to work. At work, he sits in his cubicle, working away. He catches the train home again, then goes to sleep next  to his wife. Ana remarks that, when they can, in tiny slivers of moments snatched from what they must do – they consider what they might do. They dream. This man dreams of being a rockstar, playing with his band to an adoring audience. And then, they wake up.
Ana tells Logan that all those people, all over the planet, wasting time, effort and hope on dreams, the vast majority will never achieve them, they will never be great, ot even vaguely notable. They struggle forward, believing the indignities they suffer while serving their time in the grand machinery of humanity's rise are somehow worth it. Their dreams, the carrot in front of the donkey – hope an opiate. Ana declares that, in truth, in all their lives, most people do nothing more than fulfil their roles in mankind's engine – they are bears, wires, lines of computer code – they are not really alive at all, not like Logan. They are born dead, and then one day... they die.
Reality:'Isn't that sad?' Ana asks as she touches the window and continues to look out over the city. 'More than that...doesn't it seem inefficient?' she asks. 'I think so. I've always thought so' Ana answers her own question. Ana turns back to Wolverine, who looks at her and asks 'Uh...that's... are you all right?' 'Logan, don't you see?' Ana responds, reaching behind her back,. She tells Logan that story is why he is here, why he came back to life. 'That story was about you' she declares, before pulling a gun out from behind her coat, aiming it at her son and firing. 'Ana, n-' Logan calls out, lunging forward, but too late. 'It's all right, Logan' Ana assures Logan, who grabs her, while blood pools around Perren. Ana looks down at Perren and tells Logan that he is not really her son, he isn't even Perren, that is just a name she likes. The boy “Perren” suddenly stands up, smiling, blood stains on his t-shirt, while Ana reveals that she is not really Ana.
'What the $#%& is going on?' the confused Wolverine asks. Suddenly, another door opens, and a Soteira soldier appears. 'Son of a -' Wolverine begins, popping his claws, before the soldier fires some sort of spear at him, which knocks Logan back and pins him against the wall. The end of the spear sticks out of Logan's chest, and suddenly it extends outwards, and latches Logan to the wall with various cables like some strange mechanical webbing. 'You figure it out yet?' “Ana” asks. 'Persephone' Wolverine snarls. 'Very good' Presephone confirms. Wolverine reminds her that she kissed him, to which Persephone reveals that she would have done more if he wasn't such a prude. 'Ah well. Maybe in our next lives' Persephone suggests. Logan asks Persephone if she killed Ana, to which Persephone reveals that this woman was dead before Logan made it to that research facility on the coast, and she is just giving her a second life. 'I think her name actually was Ana, though' Persephone remarks.
Logan narrows his eyes and asks Persephone why she would do this, what she is trying to achieve. 'That's a big question. But I'll do my best to answer. You deserve it' Persephone responds, before telling Logan to look out the window. Logan glances over to the window, and sees civilians gathering below the building. Persephone informs him that everyone he sees out there is like Ana and Perren, the entire city, dead since before the two of them ever met. Persephone tells Logan that she is a mutant, like him, her power is death – she brings people back. 'I can make monsters, like your movie zombies, that's easy. Or I can return them like the people in this city, able to follow programs and simple instructions. The greatest challenge: if I focus, I can create a facsimile of  life so accurate it would fool your mother. Monsters, drones and clones' Suddenly, the people outside drop dead – again.
Persephone informs Wolverine that where she grew up, death was all around, that it took everything from  her, left her so afraid, so angry, so she thought these powers were the cosmos balancing things, giving her back what she had lost, but it has been years – and she still hasn't managed it. 'Everyone I bring back.. they walk, they talk... but really, they're all just me. Death's the only friend I've got' Persephone claims, narrowing her eyes and frowning. Persephone looks up at Logan and tells him that death is a good friend, though, and that this is a city of corpses – and Logan had no idea, none of her brilliant ones she brought here realized the truth, either, not until she told them. Persephone tells Logan that they couldn't see death here because people think death is ugly or frightening, but it is not – it is beautiful. 'The dead do not litter. The dead do not squabble. The dead do not waste. This is the most perfect city on the planet'. As Persephone uses her powers to resurrect the citizens of this city, she informs Wolverine that this was her test case, a proof of concept, to show what she could accomplish – and it worked for one simple reason – because the dead do what they're told. Those once-again resurrected then go about their business.
'Because they're dead. This is... an abomination' Logan declares, as he strains against the device holding him against the wall. 'Oh, I know. But you gotta do what you gotta do' Persephone responds. Logan asks her who the people that attacked the city really were, to which Persephone informs him that they call themselves X-Men, and that they are a pompous group, on the whole – and some of Logan's best friends in the world. 'Well. Maybe not anymore' she grins, as she informs Wolverine that she did cut one of them in half, recalling Logan lunging at Iceman, growling as he sliced his white-hot claws through Bobby Drake's ice form. Persephone recounts how the Weather Witch came in and helped Iceman, kept him alive, as far as she knows, while she blasted Logan back with a snow storm. Persephone informs Wolverine that the telepath, Jean Grey, was distracted enough by Iceman's agony that a missile from one of her helicopters got through her shields. Persephone tells Wolverine that he had already taken out the teleporter, Nightcrawler, so only Kitty Pryde was left, and she made her an offer, warning Kitty Pryde to take her people and leave, or Wolverine would slaughter every man, woman and child in this city while she watched.
Kitty Pryde was phasing though rioting civilians when she got that warning, and with no other choice, ordered the X-Men to retreat. Persephone informs Wolverine that the X-Men saw sense and left, but that left him, and he was in a mood – so it took quite a bit of work to calm him down – about a third of the city's population, in fact. Persephone remembers how the citizens attempted to calm Wolverine down – and were killed by him for their efforts, slaughtering them all savagely with his claws. 'The damage will take ages to clean up' Persephone remarks, recalling the battle. 'Lady, I'm gonna -' Wolverine begins. 'What? You'll slice up poor little Ana? Go ahead. Learn nothing, and stay and face what's coming with everyone else on the planet. But I have a better idea. Come see me. In person' Persephone suggests, turning to the soldier, she calls him Zagreus and announces that he can bring Wolverine.
'Come because you want to kill me, the real me, or because you want to learn the truth about how you returned to life. Come to save the world, Wolverine. Or come to meet the Devil' Persephone smiles. She walks over to Logan and strokes his face, telling him to come because she still owes him a story. 'Don't you want to see how it ends?' she asks, before suddenly, she lets Ana's body die, falling backwards to the ground, and “Perren” falls too, another pool of blood forming. Wolverine looks up at Zagreus and tells him 'You can drop dead too, if you want'. Zagreus doesn't answer, so Wolverine remarks 'All right, big guy. Invitation accepted. Let's go. Now get me out of this damn thing'.
Soon, Wolverine and the soldier walk side by side out of the hospital and past several citizens who stare and watch as they approach some sort of military vehicle. 'What'd Persephone call you? Zagreus?' Logan asks. They get into the vehicle and Logan adds 'I'll show you something, Zaggy'. They drive off and Wolverine declares that he already knows how the story ends. He notices a shuttle craft positioned at a nearby launchpad and Wolverine finishes his sentence: 'Same way it always does. Somebody dies'.

Chapter Five: Heaven
A shuttle approaches a strange black space station, 'It's been a long ride. Hell of a trip. I'm running out of patience' Logan a.k.a. Wolverine, wearing a white space suit, remarks as the shuttle docks and he and the Soteira soldier accompanying him, Zargeus, walk down a corridor within the space station. 'So tell me, Zargeus. Where is she?' Logan asks. 'Where's Persephone?' Suddenly, a woman in a white dress appears, 'Here, Logan' she announces. 'Right in front of your eyes' she points out. 'Yeah? Doesn't smell like it' Wolverine responds as he waves his hand through Persephone, revealing her to be a holographic projection. 'Well, of course. I don't know if we're friends yet' Persephone points out. 'We're not' Logan tells her. 'And yet you're here' Persephone remarks'. Logan tells her that he couldn't stop her from down there, to which Persephone boasts that he can't stop her at all. She suggests that they not get into all that posturing, all the hero/villain business, as it is tiresome. She claims that everyone on this station is a hero – everyone.
'You came here for answers. About yourself, about me... I have them' Persephone announces, asking Wolverine to follow her, then she can learn everything he wants to know. In return, she only asks one thing – that he keep an open mind. Loan follows Persephone to a balcony, 'What's all this? Who are they? Dead too?' Logan asks as he looks down into the space station, but Persephone claims that they are alive as he is. 'These are my brilliant ones' she claims, as they watch a dozen or so scientists wearing white spacesuits go about their business. Various experiments are being conducted in a large laboratory. Persephone claims that they are possessed of exceptional minds and exceptional skills – scientists, engineers, artists, musicians, writers, architects, and even two Michelin-starred chefs. Persephone claims that humanity has become greed and screens and anxiety, but these people pushed past all that – they have shared their genius with the world – so she thought they had earned a chance to make a new one.
Persephone tells Logan that he metone of them, she thinks, aftr he came back – Dr Bernard Delacroix, her de-extinction expert, with his mammoths. 'Yeah. I watched him die' Logan remembers. 'Well, of course, Logan. He said no' Persephone states. They carry on down a corridor, as Persephone informs Wolverine that it was hard to build all this, and that at first, it was just her – and her brother, of course – with so much to arrange and so many obstacles. She reveals that she had to think of her powers in a new wat, after all, Persephone is not just the Queen of Hell, but also Spring – new life. 'I weaponized resurrection' Persephone smirks, explaining that anyone with powers, anyone she could use – if they were dead, they were hers – Prism for example, and one of the Omega Reds. 'Even your son, Daken. You might remember – you set him on fire. But don't worry, he didn't feel a thing' Persephone remarks, before looking at Wolverine and tells him that he is her favorite. 'No. you didn't do that to me. No' Wolverine gasps, horrified.
'Of course I did, Logan. You are the third story. You were dead. You were mine' Persephone explains, recalling raising Wolverine from the ground, his muscular naked body bursting back to life. Persephone remembers touching Logan's face and telling him that he was the Wolverine, that he can hunt, and kill – can kill anything. 'I couldn't have done this without you' Persephone smiles. 'What did you make me do down there?' Wolveine shouts at Persephone as they stand near a large window, which looks down to Earth below. 'Nothing you didn't do while you were alive' Persephone replies, telling Wolverine that he might not remember, but she does, and so does the world – that Wolverine is a hero, but he is also a monster. 'But as you said...that's all down there' Persephone remarks. 'Everyone you've hurt or killed. Everyone who hates you, everyone who fears you'.
Persephone looks at Wolverine as she informs him that not two days ago he lost control of himself and he nearly killed a team of X-Men, people who were once his oldest friends. She asks him if he thinks he can ever face them again, whether he thinks they will love him like they did, trust him? Wolverine looks out the window in silence, before turning back to Persephone and asking her what the point of all this is, why she brought him here, why any of this. Persephone explains that all she thinks about is death – all day, all the time – she is steeped in it and it will never leave her. She adds that she has learned to use it, but that she will never escape it. 'But you did. You were dead, with one of my killteams, dressed as a hero to impress Delacroix, and then...I don't know. Your healing factor, maybe. Only one thing matters...death couldn't hold you. You came back' Persephone remarks that that is beautiful, that Wolverine is beautiful. 'The hope you've given me...please...let me give you something' Persephone asks.
'Freedom. A true resurrection' Persephone tells Logan as she reaches out to touch his chest, remarking that he has given more to this world than anyone on the station, and that he deserves a new beginning, not to carry a dead man's burdens into his new life. She asks him to stay up here with her, to be free from all of it, and begin again. 'And if I do that, what happens to them?' Logan asks, motioning down to the Earth below. 'Got a pretty good idea who's gonna pay for that new beginning, Persephone' Wolverine replies. He turns to her and asks her if she remembers the first story she told him. Persephone tells him that she does – when he saved them from the man lost to anger. She remarks that she was just a kid when she saw Logan do that, and she never forgot it – he was a hero. 'Yeah. And then I died. You think that's supposed to change something? Change who I am? Make me like you?' Wolverine asks. He tells Persephone that she made a nice offer, and here is his answer: '#$%& death' Logan snarls as he shoves his claws, hand and part of his arm through Persephone's holographic form.
'I'm back. And I'm Wolverine and that's the way it's gonna be' Logan snarls at Persephone, who tells him that he could have started over, free of guilt and obligation, no burden of memories. 'And you said no. Crazy. Peopleare mysteries' Persephone remarks, before pointing out that they know what happens when people say no. she tells Logan that it has been wonderful, and she will miss talking to him, but if it is any consolation, he can still help her when he is dead. Panels on the wall behind Persephone suddenly open and release a gas into the room, which strikes Logan, 'Damit!' he snarls as his skin begins to blister. He pulls his hand out of the holographic projection of Persephone, as Persephone tells himnot to fight it, and that she will bring him back right away. 'Fresh is better' Persephone adds. 'Lady, next  time I die...I'm staying dead' Wolverine responds as he pops his claws again, and slams his claws into the window, shattering it, which creates a sudden rush that sucks Wolverine and the gas out of the space station, and into open space.
Logan floats away from the space station, but just in time, he passes a series rods that jut out from the space station and manages to grab onto a cable hanging from the rod. He uses his strength to pull himself back onto the station, and makes his way towards a hatch, which he tears from the station with his claws, and climbs back in.
Elsewhere aboard the space station, a bearded man tells a bald man called Jack that he isn't sure he agrees with his conclusions. 'Then you need to look again, Neil. My numbers are perfect. We know what Persephone's trying to achieve, and if -' Jack begins, when suddenly, 'Hey' a voice calls out. Wide-eyed, Neil and Jack turn to the direction of the voice, 'Oh $#%&' Jack utters, as Wolverine stands nearby, in the work area that Persephone showed him earlier. Logan's healing factor has started to heal his skin, as he tells the men that he crawled over the outside of the ship to get here without a suit, so before any of them think about pulling an alarm, they should know that he won't go down easy, and that none of them would live to see if it he does. Wolverine approaches Jack and Neil with his claws outstretched and asks 'You know what Persephone's trying to achieve, huh? Hell, maybe you even helped her set it up. We'll get to that. But all I eant to know right now...Jack...is which one of you knows how tob stop it' Logan snarls, putting his claws to Jack's neck. The terrified Jack is quick to inform Logan that it is Phil he needs to talk to.
'Hey, Phil. I'm Logan. Talk to me' Wolverine declares as he appears behind the scientist called Phil, who is tapping away at a keyboard. Nervously, Phil reveals that Persephone built a satellite network, and that he wrote a lot of the interface code, which does two things. He explains that firstly it can generate a pulse, like an EMP, but targeted to human brain activity, so if it fires, it results in instant, painless death for anyone it touches, He motions to a screen which depicts the network relay, that would boost Persephone's powers, explaining that she can bring humanity back, in a way, but under her control. Phil adds that this is it, the whole network, that it is almost complete, just a few more launches, and thenthrey will have total coverage, linking to everyone on Earth. 'Everyone?' Logan frowns. 'That’s the idea. They'd be like...drones. Dead, sure, but functional' Phil tells Logan, adding that the brilliant ones, which is him, can use them to build a better world – no governments, no inefficiency, nothing in the way. 'You're monsters' Wolverine declares, turning to some of the others nearby. 'Every last one of you' he declares, before turning back to Phil and instructing him to kill the network, to destroy it for good. 'I can't. Persephone will... she'll end me' Phil replies.
Wolverine narrows his eyes at Phil and assures him that Persephone is not his problem right now. 'I'll, uh, I'll begin the de-orbit protocols' Phil replies as he begins to tap away at his keyboard. An instant later, Phil reports that it has been done, that the satellites will burn up in the atmosphere. As the flaming space junk begins to fall to Earth, Phil adds that he bets it looks pretty nice from down there, and if only they knew. He then turns to Logan and claims that this is sort of a relief, as he was never really on board with all this. 'You'll keep me safe from Persephone, right?' Phil asks. 'It won't be long before she -' he begins, but Logan tells him to shut up, and asks 'If the satellites are all gone...then what's that, Phil?' as he points at the screen, which indicates something is still floating in space. Phil explains that it is this space station, to which Logan asks if it can do what the other satellites can – the killing pulse and then the reanimation. Phil confirms that it can, but only on whatever area they are above when it fires. 'You're talking at most a few million people, and that's if it's an urban area' Phil explains.
'A few million...shut it down!' Wolverine snarls. Nervously, Phil looks at Logaan and explains that he can't, that Persephone has control over the station. He starts to remark that it is only a matter of time before Persephone notices what he has done – when suddenly, a red-alert light begins to flash throughout the space station, and a voice announces over an intercom that the termination pulse sequence has been initiated, that all nonessential equipment is to be powered down, and all personnel are to get to the crash couches. 'Oh, God. That's... Persephone. She's set the station to fire' Phil announces. 'Where?' Wolverine asks him. 'Where what?' Phil asks. 'WHERE DO I GO TO STOP IT?' Wolverine shouts at Phil, who informs him that all the station's operational stuff is three decks down, so the pulse has to be somewhere down there. He tells Wolverine to be careful, because if he hits the wrong piece of equipment, he could knock the whole station out of the sky. 'Yeah, well, no one on Earth's gonna shed too many tears over any of you' Wolverine points out as he heads away from the others. 'But...you. You'd die too' someone calls out. 'Yeah. And me' Wolverine replies.
As he leaves, Wolverine finds himself confronted by several Soteira soldiers that Persephone has animated. 'Oh, Logan...now you've made me angry' Persephone declares. Logan pops his claws and scowls, 'That's what I do, Persephone. Like you said. I'm the best there is' Wolverine reminds her, as he leaps towards the soldiers and takes them out with ease. As Logan continues down to deck two, he carves his way through several more soldiers, while inside his mind, various versions of himself speak to him. 'Let me out. I can help you' his Patch persona asks from behind a cell door. 'Choose me, soldier you need someone watching your six' Logan as a soldier points out. Logan ignores them, and makes his way onto deck three, where more blood is splattered about as he slices and dices through more soldiers. 'I'm the one you need. I have that killer instinct' another Wolverine calls out to him. The Weapon-X era Wolverine says nothing as Logan shoves his claws through the head of a Soteira soldier, while another soldier zaps Wolverine with an energy-baton, which causes an aggressive Wolverine to snarl 'Bub', as he puts his hands around the bars of the cage that restrains him.
Deck four now, and Logan makes his way to a door with a radioactive sign on it. 'Good enough' Logan supposes as he takes out another soldier. Suddenly, he picks up a scent, and spins around, too late as another Soteira soldier slams their fist into Logan, knocking him back into a wall with awesome fury. 'LET ME OUT! YOU NEED ME!' the aggressive Wolverine roars. Logan is kicked in the face by the Soteira soldier, which causes the aggressive Wolverine in his head to shout 'OUT!' as Logan drags himself along, a pool of blood forming around him. Another punch to the face, as in his mind, Logan reaches out for a lever. He is kicked in the face again, before he finally pulls the lever down – unlocking all of the jail cells within his mind. Dozens of different era Wolverines emerge – 90's Wolverine, Patch, Shi'ar costume Logan, Weapon X, Age of Apocalypse Wolverine and many more. Except for the aggressive Wolverine. 'Bub?' he calls out from behind the bars. Wolverine just smiles at him and starts to walk away. 'You think you can just walk away from me? You're a fool if you think you're done with me. I'm still here! I'll always be here!' the aggressive Wolverine shouts.
Wolverine dodges the Soteira soldier's punch – then slices off the soldier's hand. The shocked soldier looks at his arm, as blood splurts out from his severed limb. 'Zargeus, I just remembered about a thousand fights I've been in. Ten thousand. Guess how many I lost?'  Wolverine asks, drenched in blood, claws ready to strike again, he lunges at Zargeus, and carves him into pieces, spraying more blood everywhere. Wolverine leans over Zargeus and removes his mask. Zargeus' blank eyes stare up at Logan – then suddenly he attempts  to bite Logan, who pulls away. 'Eeugh' Logan mutters, before a voice announces that the termination pulse is firing in 30 seconds. Logan turns back towards the door with the radioactive sign on it, to find Persephone standing before him. Persephone tells Logan not to do this, not to stop her, as this needs to happen 'They're in Hell, don't you see? You'll be trapping all of humanity in the hell they've built for themselves. You're not saving them. You're damning them' Persephone tells Logan, who pops his claws and walks forward, passing through Persephone's holographic form, as Persephone tells him that if he does survive this, she will never let him rest, that everyone he meets, he won't now if they are alive – or if they're her. 'So you'll haunt me. Like a ghost. What's one more?' Logan replies as he shoves his claws into the radioactive sign, which creates a fiery explosion.
The explosion ripples through the space station, which then begins to plummet towards the Earth in a fiery display. The remains of the space station enters Earth's atmosphere, it falls across the sky above Singapore, 'Crap!' Logan calls out from within the space station remains as he holds himself as safe as he can. The space station remains fall over Tokyo, and Wolverine's body begins to burn. 'Beautiful' a man in Hawaii remarks as the fiery space station appears above the island nation, while Logan screams, before he lands in the nearby water, the space station remains creating a massive wave near a fishing trawler. The fishermen look out on the water, which is now littered to remains of the space station. Suddenly, Logan emerge from the water, and the fishermen see his badly burnt body. 'Over there!' one of them calls out. 'Hey' Logan calls out to the fishermen. 'Please tell me you've got some beer' he asks.
Later, Logan has arrived in New York City, wearing a brown jacket and cowboy hat, he walks through Central Park. 'Hnh' he remarks to himself as he sees a sign that reads “Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach” and standing at the mansion door, he rings the doorbell – and an instant later, the door opens....

An Affair To Remember
Rogue enjoys a joy-flight high above the Hudson River. She doesn’t even seem to notice that she is being followed by two army jets. The pilots report Rogue to their bosses and she, in return, fools some more with them. Rogue kisses the top of the plane and then takes off at full-speed. The pilots still don’t believe what they have just witnessed, but find Rogue the most beautiful woman they’ve ever seen.
Twenty minutes later, Rogue returns home to Westchester, as she has a date with Gambit. Rogue thinks about how she is going to tell him that she is leaving for Mississippi, her birth town, tonight. Meanwhile, at the Tyler-plantation at Mississippi, a man named Cody lies in a deep coma. And he has Rogue to thank for that.
At the same time at the New Orleans graveyard, Bella Donna Boudreaux and the members of the Assassins Guild mourn the death of Marius Boudreaux, their Guild leader. The mourning is disturbed by the arrival of Candra and the Tithe Collector. Candra gives Bella Donna her condolences and wants to bring new life into their former pact, that is now broken. Candra and the Tithe Collector leave, with Candra telling Bella Donna that she knows how to reach her. Bella Donna promises to think about it.
Back at Salem Center, Rogue lands in front of Harry’s Bar. Rogue still is unsure how to tell Gambit that she is leaving. She concludes that she and Gambit still know little about each other. They’ve got so much to tell, and yet also so much to hide.
Rogue is approached by Teddy and his friends, who are kicked out of Harry’s because they wanted to have some fun with a woman. And now that they’ve seen the beautiful Rogue, they have chosen her as the lucky one. Rogue jokingly doesn’t know what to say and decides to show the two men how a lady likes to be threatened. Gambit arrives on his bike and decides to join in. He uses his powers to scare the goons away. Rogue chases them and lifts them up. She flies towards the local Sherrif’s office and leaves them on the rooftop. Somewhat later, Rogue begins to tell her story to Gambit. She explains that she’s going away tomorrow, back to Mississippi to visit an old friend, who is very important to her. Gambit asks for more information.
Rogue explains that her friend was named… is named Cody. Cody was Rogue’s very first boyfriend. Rogue remembers how Cody kissed her one day and, on that unfortunate moment, learned what her mutant powers were. Cody ended up in a coma and has been in one ever since. Rogue explains that this is the reason why she ran away from home and hesitates to get intimate with Gambit. Gambit comforts her that the past isn’t important, and only the future counts. Rogue becomes angry and walks away, wishing to be left alone. Gambit lights up a cigarette, knowing that Rogue lies about that one.
Back at New Orleans, Bella Donna fights some ninjas of the Hand. Bella Donna knows that the ninjas believe that they will be set free once they’ve killed her, but Bella Donna doesn’t give them a chance and defeats them all single handedly.
Bella Donna gets congratulated by her fellow Assassins. Singer, Questa and Gris-Gris step forward and Questa hands her over some stolen police reports Bella Donna asked about. Gris-Gris explains that their teams are on stand-by and await Bella Donna’s command. She says to go for it. At Xavier’s, Rogue prepares to leave and packs some of her clothes at her bedroom. Gambit enters with some roses, hoping to be allowed to apologize himself for before. Rogue tells him not to worry as she has already forgotten about that. Gambit kisses her hand as a goodbye. Rogue pushes him back and Gambit lands on her bed. He jokes about it, and Rogue tells him to dream on and takes off.
Storm enters, joking that Gambit disappoints her for stealing someone else’s bedroom. Then again, she says, Gambit is a thief. Gambit jokes back that Ororo too is a thief, and he has known her ever since she was a kid and he had to teach her everything about thievery. Storm says she loves to think back at those days. Gambit says he does too, and asks Storm how she approaches Rogue, as he doesn’t know what to do more. Storm suggests that he best give her some space and to let her go home alone. Gambit says he can’t do that and kisses Storm goodbye and follows Rogue to Mississippi. Storm wishes him (and Rogue) the best of luck.
Meanwhile, Rogue arrives at the hospital. She goes to Cody’s bedroom, wondering what to do with him and her feelings towards Gambit. Rogue opens Cody’s room, but he is gone! Rogue doesn’t understand, as she had called ahead and the nurses told her Cody would be there. Suddenly, Rogue is surprised and attacked by an energy beam. An intangible Fifolet appears, explaining to Rogue that they’ve got Cody and he will be safe if Rogue promises to behave. Rogue attacks Fifolet but, due to his intangible powers, she flies right through the man. Fifolet kicks Rogue down and more Assassins show up and outnumber her.
Questa orders Singer to take off her blindfold. Singer does and reveals an astral projection of Bella Donna’s head. Bella Donna reveals that she has Rogue and wants to make her pay for the memories she has stolen from her. Rogue tries to explain that it was an accident, but Bella Donna doesn’t listen. Bella Donna says that Cody is only the beginning, and promises to kidnap Gambit too, and everyone else Rogue holds dear, only to hurt her. Bella Donna and the other Assassins end the message and disappear. Nurses show up and want to help Rogue up, but she pushes the nurses back and flies away. Meanwhile, Gris-Gris watches Gambit leaving the Xavier Institute and reports it back to a pleased Bella Donna.
Afterwards, Bella Donna has words with Tante Mattie, who takes care of Cody. Mattie warns Bella Donna that Cody will die without proper care of a doctor, but Bella Donna isn’t interested. Mattie walks out, promising that someone will stop Bella Donna. Bella Donna isn’t impressed, knowing that she will be ready for them.

Choices
An exhausted Rogue stops at a nearby river. She drinks from it, but is disturbed by the astral form of Tante Mattie. Mattie hasn’t got much time, because her magics aren’t what they used to be, but promises to Rogue that she would do anything she can to keep Cody safe, if Rogue promises to help Gambit out. Rogue agrees and Mattie points her to Gambit’s direction.
Meanwhile, from her apartment balcony, Candra watches the people below, as the Tithe Collector enters, saying that she is here. When Bella Donna steps forward, Candra asks if she has an answer about her proposition. Bella Donna says she has, but first wants to continue hurting Rogue and promises to hand over Gambit to Candra once she is done with him. Candra agrees, and can’t wait to do business again like they used to.
Gambit has to stop at a gas station to fill up his bike. Two girls stop by and ask him for directions to New Orleans. Gambit talks about his birth town, explaining that it’s a city like none other and that he wants to buy a house there one day and live happily with his girlfriend. Gambit looks up and tells the girls to move. Suddenly, the gas station explodes, but Gambit survives. However, he gets attacked by many ninja’s, who he recognizes to be working for the Assassins. High above, Rogue has noticed the explosion and flies towards the fight scene.
Gambit prepares to defend himself, wondering why the ninja’s are attacking him. Gambit attacks and gets the help from Rogue, and together they defeat the ninja’s. Victorious, Rogue and Gambit try to figure out why the ninja’s have attacked him. Suddenly, Gris-Gris stands in front of the two mutants. Gambit introduces Gris-Gris to Rogue as Bella Donna’s personal voodoo man. Gris-Gris points his finger to them both, and then disappears into the mists of the explosion. Rogue asks what that was all about, but Gambit knows that Gris-Gris was only trying to scare them. “We’ll see about that,” Rogue proudly replies.
Meanwhile, Bella Donna and the other Assasins enter Cody’s room. Tante Mattie is already back with him. Bella Donna threatens her that she knows that Mattie warned Rogue, but that she isn’t impressed and will be waiting for her. And she will make sure that Mattie won’t betray her again. Later that night, Rogue and Gambit relax in a nearby forest on a campfire. Gambit jokes about what they don’t have to do to take a vacation away from the X-Men, and that he doesn’t see Scott and Jean do a thing like this. A scared Rogue asks Gambit to hold her. Gambit does. Rogue explains that she was so afraid that something might have happened to him and that she would be too late.
Rogue explains that Bella Donna has kidnapped Cody, only to hurt her. Gambit doesn’t believe it. Rogue says that she has to rescue Cody and must do it alone and makes Gambit promise that he won’t follow her. Gambit can’t do that. Rogue says that he doesn’t understand, and that she is tired of all the running. She wants to build a better future, together with him. Gambit comforts her, telling her to go to sleep. “Later,” Rogue says, “just hold me a little more.” Hours pass. Gambit wakes up and sees Rogue flying away. Gambit gets up, saying that he can’t do what he promised. As, if Bella Donna has something to do with this, he wants to be there.
Rogue makes it to the French Quarters of New Orleans and is ready to begin her search for Cody. Rogue regrets for what happened to Bella Donna and didn’t mean to harm her. Rogue blames her mutant powers for everything, like they did the same thing to Cody and Carol Danvers. Rogue knows that she does her best to control her powers, but sometimes hurts people with them. Suddenly, Rogue gets caught in an explosion and warriors of the Assassins Guild attack her. Rogue stands up, and tells the Assassins to bring it on!
