Home Again- The Dream of Two Good Men Part 2
Crystal Palace
Psylocke sits curled up, fast asleep, in the mission control chair. The soft glow given off from the computer monitors bathe her in incandescent light. She opens her eyes and finds herself floating in outer space. She’s joined by over a dozen other beings also suspended helplessly amongst the floating, rocky debris.
Psylocke gradually lands on a large, flat piece of orbiting rock. She surveys the area, wide-eyed, wondering what the hell happened. “Now that is a sight” she hears from behind. Psylocke turns around to find the person behind the voice and just as suddenly the portion of rock she’s standing on breaks free. She starts to fall back out into the nether regions of space, but a hand reaches out and grabs her wrist.
The man, dressed in a button down, slacks and dress shoes, warns Psylocke to be more careful and apologizes for startling her. He explains it’s been a while since he and his wife had guests. Psylocke wants to know who he is and where she is. Instead of answering, the man directs Psylocke to his wife who’s carrying a hot pan of food. He assures Psylocke that he and his wife are her friends.
The lady tells both of them the food is ready and to take a seat. Psylocke thinks to herself she’s dreaming, but wonders why it feels so real. The lady asks her why it can’t be both, and then offers her coffee or tea. Psylocke is taken aback that this woman can read her mind. She asks again who they are and what is happening.
The man tells her not to worry about the “who”, but she can see the rest for herself. He explains that all of creation is coming to an end, everything in time and space is unraveling, and someone has to save it (during this conversation an Earth-like planet is torn asunder). Psylocke asks why he’s telling her all this. Why can’t they fix things?
The man tells her it’s not their job anymore. They’re done with it all. Psylocke inquires as to how he expects them to stop something like that. “I mean, we’re only human. You’re the gods — aren’t you?”
Earth #187319
New York City
Down on the city streets, Robert Banner, of the Four Fantastics, wants to know if the costumed people in front of him are a threat. Doom runs a bioscan on the five Exiles and none of them show up in the global database. Therefore they’re not of their world. Doom says to give them a chance, though, and if he’s wrong he can start punching. Johnny alludes to the fact that Doom is never wrong. Doom counters that he was wrong only happened once, when he was young, and he paid the price of his two best friends.
While high upon the neighboring skyscraper stand She-Hulk and the Mole Man. They’re instantaneously joined by Blink, who teleports herself in and asks them nicely to stop scaring the people down below. She introduces herself and says she just wants to talk, to find a peaceful solution.
Below, the two teams of heroes watch as Blink works her diplomatic stuff. Creed senses something hostile in their body language and tosses both Morph and Spider-Man upward.
Mole Man pulls out a gun and tells Blink to lie better next time. He fires and hits Blink under the shoulder, knocking her out. Spider-Man and Morph come flying in and get the drop on their targets. Spider-Man wraps She-Hulk up with some web, while Morph has some difficulty snatching Mole Man who keeps firing his gun at him. Mole Man grabs Blink, in retaliation for the captured She-Hulk, and drops down through a hole in the roof.
She-Hulk, meanwhile, falls over the edge of the building while struggling to break free of the webbing. She manages to get loose and lands on her feet on the ground below. She calls Spider-Man dumb for thinking she could be held by string. Johnny Storm flies at her, flame on. She-Hulk decks him, drawing blood and knocking him out. Banner also charges at her and gets a fistful for his troubles, he, too, going down. She-Hulk turns her attention to the remaining two Fantastics. Susan puts up a force field protecting her and Doom.
She-Hulk seems undeterred, but never gets the opportunity because Sabretooth grabs her neck from behind and tosses her into the corner of a nearby building. He stands over her threateningly and tells the green-skinned woman she’s going to help him get Blink back. She-Hulk gets up and with rage in her face says, “You talk – She-Hulk smashes!”
She charges at Sabretooth, but he nimbly jumps over her. He gives her a boot to the face when she turns back around. She-Hulk wipes the blood from her mouth and nose and tells Creed she’s going to make him cry. She grabs for him twice, but Sabretooth dodges both times. He grabs her arm the third time and with the other punches her in the gut. He tells She-Hulk raw strength is one thing, but you need to know how to use it.
Sabretooth pins She-Hulk against the wall by her throat. He asks the incoming Morph and Spider-Man for their status. No luck, they explain, as the Mole Man sealed the tunnel behind him and left no trail behind. Creed turns his attention back to She-Hulk. He interrogates her as to Blink’s whereabouts and Mole Man’s plans. She-Hulk responds that he’ll only find out when Reed tells him. Sabretooth asks who Reed is.
Von Doom comes over and explains that “Reed” is Reed Richards and he’s the guy who took their friend. Doom offers to give Sabretooth answers, but in a better way. She-Hulk starts acting scared. Sabretooth asks why that is. Doom explains it’s because they’ve fought before. He thanks Sabes for his help and sympathizes over the loss of Blink. Doom promises to find her, but in the meantime offers his home to the Exiles.
Doom turns his attention to the civilian gawkers. He tells them the threat is over and to give thanks to the new guys for all their help. The crowd cheers them on, much to Spidey’s and Sabe’s surprise. Morph spots some children nearby and joins them on the sidewalk. He turns the top of his head into a disco globe with a party favor on each side. The kids seem uninterested and walk away. Morph thinks it’s weird.
Underground
Blink awakens to find herself tied to an upright slab of rock in the middle of a dark room. All around her are little people whose faces she remarks resemble Ben Grimm. Mole Man, as it turns out, is actually a little person, like the Grimms. He climbs out of his body suit and tells her Ben Grimm was his friend and so is She-Hulk and he wants her back.
Blink says both sides are even in comparison to captured friends. Mole Man asks why she’s not scared. Blink responds sarcastically prompting Mole Man to realize she’s different. Blink jokes that maybe her hair or the color of her skin gave it away. Mole Man focuses in on her humor and explains that nobody jokes anymore, that Doom doesn’t allow it. Blink doesn’t see how that’s possible. Mole Man explains Doom erased it from the racial genome after a bunch of comedians were making fun of what he was doing.
Mole Man recounts his childhood joys of watching the Marx Sisters and how they made him laugh. Somehow, someway they’ve disappeared and have been forgotten. Anyone like them has been forgotten too. Blink’s mouth opens in disbelief.
Mole Man runs a gene scan on Blink and the results say she’s human. Reed asks how that’s possible if she’s not from their Earth. He pulls back his hood revealing long hair with a running white stripe. Richards surmises she’s either from the future or a parallel dimension. Blink doesn’t want to answer. Mole Man tells her it doesn’t matter. Once Doom finds out he’s going to see it as a new world to conquer, where he can make everything right... at least what he thinks is right.
Dr. Doom’s Manhattan Residence
A man and woman enter the room where the Exiles are staying carrying formal clothing for them to change into. Everyone tries on the new duds except Morph who instead uses his powers to create a matching suit. Longshot refuses to wear his, saying the uniform feels wrong. Spider-Man and Sabretooth keep the suits and the four of them head down to party.
They discuss how weird it is being in a place that seems so stable and peaceful, where the general population accepts them. Longshot interjects that he doesn’t like the place.
Von Doom welcomes them to the party and discusses building a lasting friendship with the team. As he shakes Miquel’s hand Sabretooth flirts a little with Susan. Morph worries that Sabretooth’s flirting with Doom’s girlfriend is going to cause problems. He voices his concerns with Longshot who was standing next to him, but is no longer there.
Crystal Palace
Psylocke wakes up and finds herself in the command center chair where she originally dozed off. She remembers everything that happened and has a gut feeling it wasn’t all a dream. As if to alleviate any leftover doubts in Psylocke’s mind a young woman teleports into the middle of the room.

Home, Again! Where Dreams To Nightmares Grow! Part 3
Crystal Palace
The mysterious girl who appeared only moments ago in the command center takes off running. Psylocke gets up out of the controller chair and goes after her, trying to explain that she means no harm. The girl ignores her and rams right into a crystal wall, falling flat on her back.
The girl gets herself into a somewhat seated position and starts to cry. Psylocke rushes over to check on her, asking the computer if there’s a hospital somewhere in the Palace. Computer offers to show the way and prep the systems. Computer also asks who the girl is. Psylocke suggests she looks like a younger version of Kitty Pryde, an X-Man.
Psylocke tries comforting the girl, but she keeps telling the ninja-trained telepath to get away from her. Psylocke assures her she only wants to help. The new arrival tells Psylocke to stop calling her “Kitty” her name is Cat. Looking into Psylocke’s face, Cat makes a visual connection to a hero from her world named Elsbeth Braddock, also known as Captain Britannia. She’s completely bewildered because Captain Britannia’s dead.
Psylocke explains she’s Elisabeth and not “Elsbeth” and that she comes from a different dimension than hers, where similar people exist. She then picks up Cat, cradling her in her arms, and heads off to the Palace infirmary. Cat is still incredulous about the whole thing. All she did was phase through a wall and she ends up in some weird place. She cries that she wants to go home.
The Husband and Wife appear out of thin air. The Wife is concerned over their decision to bring Cat to the Palace. She doesn’t think it’s fair to her. The Husband assures her Cat will do fine, and considering what’s at stake they have to try something.
Earth #187319
New York City
Longshot stands at the top of a tall building, one leg propped on the ledge, looking out over the many citizens of Manhattan. Despite the outward appearance of peace and harmony he witnesses, he feels something is off and it depresses him. Not far away on another building rooftop stands Morph, who has been following Longshot all night, concerned with his teammate’s brooding.
Longshot leaps to the top of another building nearby and so Morph follows, transforming his cape into a parachute. Longshot keeps leaping until he finally lands in Central Park. Morph touches down behind him, making his presence known by asking Longshot if something’s wrong.
Longshot turns around and Morph notices the tears streaming down his face. Longshot tells him the world is all wrong as are its people; they have no soul. Morph doesn’t understand what he means. Longshot explains that these people are missing their passion. Morph asks if that’s such a bad thing since passion usually leads to more bad than good. Longshot doesn’t see the point of being human without passion. And it’s the children that bother him the most. None of them know how to laugh. Morph points out they don’t know how to cry either. He comes in closer, placing a reassuring arm around Longshot’s neck. He poses a question to the former Mojoversian, that if these people are truly at peace, do they have the right to take it away?
Longshot tells Morph sounds like Betsy. Morph replies great minds think alike and transforms himself into the aforementioned Exile. Longshot worries that if they stay too long they might end up like everyone else and maybe spread it across the time-field. Their conversation is interrupted as a bright light appears off to their side.
Blink emerges from her teleportation rift, telling the boys they need to move fast. They have a lot to talk about and a lot to do, but not a lot of time. Morph asks what they’re supposed to do about Spider-Man and Sabretooth. She explains there’s nothing they can do, as they’re too close to Doom. Longshot asks if they can save these people. Blink says anything’s possible. ”But—should we?” he asks. Blink’s face betrays her feelings of uncertainty.
Elsewhere in New York City
Spider-Man and Gwen Stacey have been having quite a night, starting with a nice walk along the river, followed by dinner and dancing and ultimately leading to a passionate kiss shared between the two.
Doom’s Building
A shirtless Sabretooth stares out at Manhattan through one of the large windows in his upper-level suite. Susan Storm calls out to him from the couch asking if he likes what he sees. Sabretooth walks over to her with a question of his own, “I thought you were spoken for.” Susan explains that actions speak more eloquently than words. They embrace and soon after end up in bed together.
Much later, with Sabretooth asleep, Doom enters the bedroom. Susan looks at him breathlessly as he makes his way over to the bed. Susan lifts Creed’s arm and turns the outer casing of the Tallus invisible. Doom looks it over, utterly fascinated. Susan gets out of bed and embraces Doom. He tells Susan she’s done superbly, but to keep the facade going as he has work to do. After all, it’s only fair for them to pay a visit to Sabretooth’s home world too.
Reed Richard’s Underground Stronghold
Blink, Longshot and Morph gather around Richards as he explains his Earth’s past. How, during the second half of the 20th century, everyone feared the inevitable World War III, that was, until, Doom came along and brought an end to hunger and disease. Many people followed him, and those who wouldn’t or couldn’t disappeared or were killed over the years. Some were even recruited into Doom’s personal guard, the Four Fantastics.
The history lesson ends quickly as dropping in from high above is the sensational She-Hulk. Reed yells out her name in surprise. She-Hulk offers Richards the chance to be remade by Doom like she was. Richard, of course, wants nothing to do with that and blames Doom for all the problems in the world.
The Ben Grimms charge She-Hulk, climbing all over her body. She emits some type of electrical charge and the Grimms are thrown off. She-Hulk defends Doom, saying he saved the world. She asks Richards if he’s just jealous because Doom did what Reed couldn’t.
Morph enters the fray, flying down towards She-Hulk with conjoined sledgehammer hands. The Hulk makes his entrance as well, snatching Morph mid-air and slamming him into a wall. He yells at the malleable mutant for attacking his cousin and praises Doom for curing her of the craziness she’s suffered from through the years. Hulk then turns Morph about and decks him twisting Morph’s elongated head backwards. Morph returns the favor with his sledgehammer hands, sending Hulk flying. He congratulates the airborne Hulk on winning the “Cousin of the Year” award.
Reed surveys what’s happening and apologizes to Ben and Jessica. He hopes they both can forgive him for all that he’s done and what he must do.
Johnny Storm enters the underground lair aflame. He washes over the Grimms lighting them on fire. He takes a look at the carnage below and chalks it up to a good team effort. He fires off some flame in the direction of where Blink, Longshot and Richards are standing. Blink teleports away after adding they know all about teamwork. She reappears directly above Johnny and gives him a swift boot in the face. He goes limp and plummets toward the hard surface. Blink teleports once more, reappearing directly in his downward path. She shoves two crystal shards into his body, teleporting him away.
Morph, meanwhile, has Hulk wrapped up by the legs and is slamming him back and forth against the ground. Blink teleports in on top of the emerald brute and shoves two shards into his back. She tells Morph it’s time to go to which he angrily tosses the Hulk into She-Hulk’s motionless body.
As the foursome regroups Richards reassures the bitter Morph this battle doesn’t matter, it’s the war they have to win. Blink teleports the four of them away, leaving their enemies behind.
Later, the now-conscious Four Fantastic members contact Doom through a holographic interface. Hulk explains how they were defeated and that Blink teleported their quarry elsewhere. Doom orders them to continue the pursuit and to make sure next time they aren’t defeated.
With the transmission ended, Doom turns his attention back to his latest project, a recreation of the Tallus. He marvels out loud at the technology involved. A voice intercoms him, concerned about the other Exiles members. Doom assures the voice they are being monitored. To prove it, he switches the channel on a nearby monitor to show Miquel and Gwen Stacey eating at a diner. Then he flicks it again to show a slumbering Sabretooth. The last video feed he turns to shows a scantily clad Susan Storm getting dressed.
Much, much later, Doom has finally finished his Tallus prototype. He gives it over to a member of his human shock troop. He warns the infiltration team of the high risk involved, but promises if they succeed they will be remembered in glory.
Despite his posturing, Doom’s thoughts reveal his doubts. He thinks of Richards, as he often does at moments like this, who never had doubts. He wonders if that was why Richards would always risk his inventions on himself before anyone else. Doom’s thoughts are interrupted as his men step through the energy field and yell back that they’re through.
The Crystal Palace
Computer alerts Psylocke they have intruders, heavily armed military personnel, in the Transport Bay. One of the soldiers spots Computer sounding the alarm and fries her with a blast from his rifle.
Cat sits up in her bed after hearing the gunshot. Psylocke leaves her side and comes rushing into the Bay. She takes one of the troopers down before having to cut back to dodge their fire. She wonders where they came from and how they got there. She takes out another soldier before she’s grabbed from behind. Someone orders her to be taken down, but not killed. She’s blasted and falls lifeless to the floor.
The infiltration team fans out and some of them find Cat lying in the Infirmary. Cat pleads with them not to shoot, that she gives up. She keeps repeating over and over again that she just wants to go home. One of the guys radios in that it’s just some kid going through hysterics. Cat hears the radio report and a calmed, almost sinister look spreads across her face.
The assault team continues their search through the Palace. They are wary, but not wary enough as one of the men is bashed in the back of the head by a giant fist. He falls forward, his gun dropping from his grip. The fist that did him in belongs to none other than Thunderbird. He’s deep in thought at the moment, wondering what’s going on, where he is, and what happened to the Exiles and most importantly, Nocturne.

Home, Again! The Doom Of Two Good Men Part 4
New York City
The Four Fantastics lead their strike team into the underground catacombs in the search for Reed Richards. In addition to their regular members, Spider-Man and Sabretooth are with them. Johnny Storm lets it be known he wants to handle Blink personally, after the embarrassment she put him through the last time they met. He also advises Banner to do the same with Morph.
Spider-Man is irritated by the comments, and despite Gwen’s protests responds to Johnny’s bravado with sarcasm. Johnny’s blood pressure boils as he turns around mid-air and zeros in on Spider-Man. He angrily yells, “You bein’ smart with me, wallcrawler?” Spider-Man tosses Gwen over to Sabretooth and dodges his swooping attack with a swift leap. He continues to make fun of Johnny, while swinging out of harm’s way.
Susan yells at the both of them to stop, reminding them of the mission they’re on. Spider-Man agrees and webs up Johnny’s face, pointing out they’re there to save the world. Susan has had enough and places the both of them inside a giant sphere. She chastises them and orders them to quit with the games.
With a break in the hunt, Jennifer cautions Susan to be wary of Reed and to not overestimate her own powers. She brings up how Reed’s always been able to come up with a way to escape Doom and start over again. Sabretooth asks how they plan to beat him. Jennifer looks downward and says he’s old and alone and he loves her. When she looks up again tears are brimming in her eyes. Jennifer continues, explaining Reed will want to save her and bring her back. She smiles a cunning smile when she says that will be his undoing.
Spider-Man sees Gwen huddled up along the rocky wall and asks what’s wrong. She asks Miguel why he was fighting with Johnny and why he wouldn’t stop. He tells her he doesn’t know, it just happened. She reminds Miguel Johnny is one of the world’s heroes and it’s upsetting her how he’s making him angry and fighting with him. Spider-Man pulls her close and apologizes. He promises he’ll never do it again. He just wants to make her happy. “It’s just...” he stops, staring into her eyes. Gwen asks, “Just what?” Miguel says he can’t shake the feeling that something is... and Sabretooth finishes the thought, “very wrong.”
Morph, Blink and Longshot watch from a hidden spot above. Morph asks what they should do. Blink says they need to wait and watch and when the time is right, attack.
Elsewhere in the catacombs, Reed looks at old polaroids of his friends Jennifer and Benn Grimm. He wonders aloud if it would have been better to have died in the war instead of fighting for a hopeless cause. He questions whether or not Doom is evil, or him for that matter after all he’s done. Reed, looking over the bodies of the dead Grimms, reminds himself he couldn’t save his best friend or the woman he loves. With tears streaming down his face Reed announces he’s come to the end of his road and asks God’s forgiveness for what he is about to do.
Crystal Palace
Doom’s commando strike team surrounds the captive Psylocke and Cat Pryde. Though Betsy is tied down to a chair, Cat is mobile and about to receive a serum injection, which will make her DNA more compatible with those from Doom’s world. As the doctor explains all that he plunges the needle downward only for it to pass through Cat’s arm. The doctor cries out in surprise. One of the men orders Delano and Martinez to place their phase bolts on full power. He then turns around and butt strokes Psylocke to the head. He warns Cat he’ll kill Psylocke if she tries anything funny. He also orders the doctor to give Psylocke the first dose.
Psylocke tells Cat to run, but she doesn’t. Instead, the men around her start to panic at the sight of something behind her. It’s Thunderbird, and he starts laying out the commandoes while Cat works to free Psylocke from her restraints. Cat asks if she knows the new guy. Psylocke responds she doesn’t, as she’s relatively new to the team.
Thunderbird takes out a few more guys and turns to see a rifle pointed straight at him. He knows he’s going to get it, and is totally surprised when the energy beam is deflected in opposite directions just four feet in front of him. Psylocke tells him one good save deserves another, using her TK powers to perform the feat.
Cat sneaks up on another guy and makes his body intangible causing his rifle to slip through his fingers. She tells him she’s not too happy with them barging into her hospital, waving their guns and trying to inject her with creepy drugs. Thunderbird sees this and yells out he’s had enough. He’s through being saved by girls, no offense of course. He tosses one of the unconscious soldiers at a group of four standing nearby, knocking them over like bowling pins. He decks another guy coming in from behind and with a smile on his face asks who’s left.
Psylocke and Cat are the only other ones left standing. Thunderbird introduces himself and asks what’s wrong when both their faces go from smiling to despondent. Cat tells him John Proudstar was killed on his first mission with the X-Men, long before she joined the team. Betsy smiles because in her dimension John Proudstar died in a similar fashion.
This leads Psylocke to point out they’re no longer X-Men, but Exiles. They’re not around to save the world. Like it or not, want it or not, their responsibility is to save all creation.
Doom’s War Room
Doom watches as Thunderbird takes out the last camera stationed by his operatives. He’s impressed with the Exiles’ skills in battle. His mind starts turning at the thought of devising countermeasures to stop those three, but then the transmission goes dead. In it’s place Susan appears. The conversation is short-lived, however, as Johnny Storm flies into view to alert her they’re under attack. Doom calls out to her in surprised worry, but her image disappears.
Doom orders his adjutant to ready a squad of men and get his personal shuttle ready. A voice just entering the room tells him that won’t be possible. It’s Reed, and he explains he took care of his immediate staff. He continues, telling Doom he thought after all the years of confrontations the final battle should be between just them.
Doom doesn’t stir from his seat. Instead he looks down upon Reed as if he was a foolish child. He asks Reed how he plans on going against the whole world. With a serene smile he tells Reed nothing he does can change the outcome. The world, the future for that matter, will always be his. Reed agrees he’s made the world and all its people in his image.
Doom asks if he admires that. Reed responds it’s a remarkable achievement. Doom asks if he’s decided to switch sides and join him. Reed lets his true feelings show, losing his calm demeanor. He tells Doom he’s there to bring the abomination to an end. Doom, still cool and collected, asks, “All by yourself, old friend?” “We were never friends!” Reed replies, beginning the battle.
Reed takes a swing at Doom, but misses and receives an energy blast to the gut. Reed takes a few more swings and finally connects, knocking Doom out of his chair. Reed wraps Doom up with his stretched out waist then extends his upper torso to the ceiling. He brings his giant arm down and strikes the captive Doom square in the noggin.
The Catacombs
The battle rages on between the Four Fantastics and the Exiles. Susan and Blink are matched up, and Blink uses her powers of teleportation to dodge her attacks and strike from behind. Sabretooth watches from the sidelines, content with what’s happening. Morph takes on Johnny Storm who lights him up in a bath of flame. Spider-Man tells his Exile friends to stop, that they don’t need to do this. Longshot, after kicking Hulk in the face, tells Spidey he’s wrong.
Sue turns invisible so Blink asks Longshot for some help. Sure enough he’s spot on with his daggers, letting himself throw based on intuition or “luck.” Sue throws up a force field to block the attack, which Blink uses to rematerialize right on top of her. Sue throws up another shield and blocks the pink Exile’s kick.
Gwen leaves Miguel’s side and joins Hulk against Longshot. Miguel can’t believe what she’s doing and grabs her by the arm. He tells her Longshot’s his friend. “And what am I?” she replies. Miguel tells her he loves her and asks her not to make him choose. Gwen feels like he would be forcing her to do the same. She tells him to make his choice.
Susan yells to Gwen that Doom’s orders were to kill the Exiles. Miguel takes off his mask and tells her she doesn’t have to do this. Again, he tells her he loves her. He holds her hand and Gwen says she loves him too, but that she’s also a hero of Doom and she will do her duty. She tackles Spider-Man to the ground.
Meanwhile, Morph continues to dodge Johnny’s fire blasts. Johnny mockingly tells him eventually he’s going to nail him. “Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!” Morph replies and both decks and kicks the Human Torch. He tells Johnny he talks way too much and then throws him at his sister.
Doom’s Headquarters
Doom decks Reed and frees himself from his windy grasp. He runs up the steps back to the computer control area. He tells Reed he’s gong to transit the entire world across time to the Crystal Palace. It will be his base from which his operatives will expand outward to every dimension imaginable. He presses a button and smiles at his moment of glory.
His smile turns to a look of dismay as he realizes his transit has been disengaged and his strike force from the Crystal Palace has returned. He looks down at Reed and sees him smiling. He yells at him accusingly, asking what he’s done. Doom picks Reed up into the air by his neck. He asks his arch-nemesis why he must always oppose him. After all, he brought peace and prosperity to the world. Reed asks at what cost. He reminds Doom he took away people’s compassion, their ability to grow, dream and create. Reed asks when the last time anybody cried was.
(During their debate people across the world begin falling dead where they stand.)
They discuss love and Doom blindingly believes love is still out there. Reed explains the reality of it all that people have no choice and nothing is theirs. Everything is all about Doom. Doom says his people will sacrifice themselves because of their love for him, their faith in his dreams. Reed asks what happened to his people’s original dreams.
The Catacombs
The battle has stopped between the two superhero teams. Blink tells her Exiles there’s nothing left for them to do and they have to leave. Miguel cradles Gwen in his arms and yells out he won’t leave. He pleads with them saying there’s something they must be able to do. Morph tells him they can’t fix everything. Sabretooth explains there’s nothing to save, the world is already dead, the people not much better than ghosts.
(Doom: My dreams are their dreams, Reed)
Gwen breaks away from Spidey much to his surprise. He calls out her name questioningly and she apologizes.
(Reed: So, Victor—human existence has become all about you?)
Gwen heads back over to the Four Fantastics. Miguel looks at her imploringly. Susan takes her by the shoulder. Miguel takes off running towards her. The Tallus lights up and the teleportation circle appears. Sue fires a shield at Miguel knocking him back toward his team. He watches in mute horror as the Four Fantastics collapse upon themselves, dead. Longshot and Morph beckon him to get into the teleportation ring.
(Reed continues to admonish Doom in a voice-over, blaming him for making the human race into his image and taking away their free choice. Worst of all, Reed says, is that Doom doesn’t realize what he’s done wrong, or even that he’s done wrong.)
Doom’s Headquarters
Doom has grown to mammoth proportions and has Reed’s neck in between two of his fingers. He demands to know what Reed has done. Reed tells Victor to forgive him, but he couldn’t find a better way to stop him, to make things right, so he’s brought them to an end. “May God have mercy on us both,” he finishes.
A large section of the planet explodes in an electro-magnetic fury. The Exiles are caught up in the blast mid-teleportation.
Crystal Palace
The Palace is shaking itself apart, shards falling from the ceiling. Psylocke, Cat and Thunderbird stare at the monitors as the Earth the Exiles were on disappears from view. Psylocke checks the signal and establishes they’re still locked onto the right dimension. She concludes the planet must have blown up.
Thunderbird asks what happened to the team. Psylocke says she doesn’t know. She had a solid lock on them when they began their transit, but lost contact when the Earth exploded. She thinks they may have been scattered across the dimensions. Cat asks if she can find them, after all, how many dimensions are there. Thunderbird asks how many she can imagine.

Home, Again! End’s Beginning Or—Find Us The Way To Go Home Part 5
Crystal Palace
Cat, Psylocke and Thunderbird stare in mute horror as their friends and teammates disappear from the computer screen. Thunderbird asks rather pointedly where they went. Cat says they’ve lost all contact and guesses the shockwave scrambled the Palace’s computer systems. Psylocke suggests they better start looking for them then.
Earth #797
Sabretooth finds himself lying flat on his back in the middle of a grassy field. As he sits up he spots a graveyard in the near distance. Sabretooth gets to his feet and checks the Tallus to see if it’s working. He tries contacting Psylocke, but doesn’t get a response.
Sabes decides to explore the area and get his bearings. As he walks through the dense tree line he hears, then spots, a group of camouflaged soldiers armed with rifles and pistols. They’re moving slowly towards a lone figure standing amongst the headstones. The man in question is holding a bouquet of roses in each hand and seems to be staring at two graves, one marked IRENE ADLER BELOVED WIFE AND MOTHER and the other ANNA RAVEN OUR BLESSED ROGUE AND BELOVED DAUGHTER.
Sabretooth ruins the surprise attack as he leaps toward the skulking men, slicing two of them pretty badly with his claws and knocking another one down. He tells them to have the courage to attack the guy face to face. When Creed turns around a few more soldiers jump out of the woods. He carves through one guy’s chest and another’s elbow.
The man at the gravesite appears pretty handy in a fight as he disarms a soldier with a kick to the face. He’s really angry that his enemies tried taking him out at the graves of his wife and daughter. So angry in fact that he grabs the gun of the guy he just disarmed and blows off the side of his head.
Creed is distracted by the violent show and receives a knife in the back for his laziness. He turns around and nearly guts the young fighter. The remaining members of the militia decide not to stick around and hightail it into the forest.
The stranger thanks Sabretooth, and noticing his wounds, asks if he can be of any help. Creed says his hand won’t quite close and asks the man if he would pull out the knife lodged in his back. The stately chap thinks the blade may have clipped his spine and suggests Sabes get to the hospital. Sabretooth tells him rather brusquely to just pull out the knife.
The gentleman does as asked and the blood-soaked blade is removed. He offers his shirt as bandaging, but Sabretooth declines, pointing to his already healed wound. The man finally introduces himself, Raphael-Raven Darkholme, and tells Creed he will forever be in his debt. They shake hands, to which Sabretooth tells him to be careful what he offers for the deal he may get in return may surprise him.
Crystal Palace
Thunderbird and Cat are hard at work trying to fix the computer system. T-Bird apologizes that he’s not much help. Cat tells him not to worry, she likes working with computers and fixing them is something she’s good at. “And they don’t die,” she adds. Her eyes dart to the left as she relives a horrific gun battle from her past.
Cat apologizes for going off track there. She explains when she’s nervous stuff sort of slips out. She tells T-Bird to forget what she said. He places a reassuring hand on her shoulder and tells her if she ever needs to talk he’ll be there to listen. Cat tells him she doesn’t want any friends. Her friends, she all kills.
Later, along with Psylocke, they start up the computer system. Holographic images of planets suddenly appear all around them. Psylocke says she’s very impressed. Cat asks how they’re expected to find the Exiles in all of this. Psylocke explains that they’re listed in the system’s database... unlike her. Cat asks why. Psylocke clarifies that as far as the Palace and its systems are concerned she doesn’t exist. “Outstanding,” is Cat’s sarcastic reply. Psylocke admits it has its good and bad moments. With that piece of information out of the way, Psylocke tells Cat to turn on the Search System and bring everyone home.
Earth #6375
The ocean waves pound against the beach, but instead of shells or sea life, the unconscious form of Spider-Man washes ashore.
Miguel awakens from a nightmare and finds himself shirtless, lying in a nice comfy bed. Weakly, he calls out Gwen’s name. He blocks the sunlight from his face, wondering aloud why she didn’t fight for her life, why she didn’t let him die with her. A redheaded woman slinks in behind him and wraps her arms around his chest. She suggests that may be the nature of love.
Miguel’s jaw drops and his eyes bug out. The redheaded woman is no longer there. Was that just a dream, he wonders. He looks around his room and then at the ocean outside. He knows he’s not in the Crystal Palace and assumes he’s lost on some parallel Earth.
A voice welcomes him to the world of consciousness and he sees the same redheaded woman from his dream. Miguel finds himself telling her of his adventures across the Omniverse.
A bit later the woman shows Miguel exactly where he washed up on the sand, just a couple days earlier. She tells him it was a miracle he didn’t drown. Miguel says it might have been better if he had. She scolds him for that kind of talk. Spidey tells her she wouldn’t understand. The woman reveals to Miguel he talks in his sleep and she got the gist of the whole story. Gwen refused to let him die with her because she loved him. Redhead advises him not to spit that back in her face. Gwen’s life still has value, she points out, but only if Miguel doesn’t give up.
Earth #1009
New Tokyo, Paragon Tower
Rogue is so busy trying to crack the safe she doesn’t even notice when the Royal Avengers show up outside the office window. Lord Iron announces their presence and tells Rogue to give as they have a warrant for her arrest. Grim determination crosses over Rogue’s face. Ever defiant, she tells the Avengers those words mean nothing to her.
The brash American Boy smashes through the window on his jetpack, the other Avengers close behind. She manages to land a solid hit on Lord Iron, causing a three Avenger pileup. Saracen comes in and knocks her to the ground. He readies his fist for another strike, but Morph appears on the window ledge behind him.
The Exile’s funny man dives right into the fray and attacks Saracen, taking him by surprise. Morph quickly checks on Rogue, referring to himself as the Crimson Pirate. The duo takes to the air hoping to escape. Morph introduces himself mid-flight and when they touch down near a flower shop he changes into a tuxedo. Rogue is a bit weirded out by this, but Morph explains it’s what he does.
Morph grabs a bouquet of flowers and hands them to Rogue. She says she’s never heard of powers like that and asks what he is. He tells her it’s a long story. Rogue suggests they find somewhere comfy so he can tell her all about it. High above, the Royal Avengers go streaking through the air unaware their quarry is down below.
Earth unknown
A window cracks in the near empty cottage, while a snowstorm rages beyond. Blink is inside, huddled next to a roaring fireplace. She figures it’s just her luck to land in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of winter, in the middle of night, in the middle of a blizzard. She’s thankful for the fireplace, though, and that nobody happened to be home.
She decides to snoop around and sees some pictures over the fireplace mantle. She’s surprised to discover they’re pictures of her and some kids. She pulls one of the photos down for a closer look. That’s when the Wife appears and comments that the children are as lovely as their mother.
Blink whips out a crystal shard and asks the Wife what she wants with her. The Wife tells Blink to put away her weapons for they won’t be needed. To illustrate the point she places her hand atop the shard and nothing happens. The Wife tells Blink she led her on quite a chase.
The Wife’s form quickly turns to a fiery visage. She explains that Blink’s teleportation power messed with the Crystal Palace energies and somehow she was bounced through both space and time, but she did leave a trail. Blink asks if this is the future. The Wife says it’s a possibility, or better yet, a hope. Blink stares down once more at the picture and says she lacks the strength for hope or possibilities. The Wife tells her that would be a shame.
Crystal Palace
Blink and the Wife return to the control room of the Crystal Palace where the Husband and Psylocke are waiting. Blink demands to know who they are and what they want. The Husband explains they were the ones who brought many of the worlds into existence and since their time is coming to an end they’re looking for people to take their place.
As gods, Blink queries. Heroes, the Husband replies. Blink asks about their (Exiles) ideas and dreams. The Husband suggests the two aren’t exclusive. The Wife asks her if she ever considered that the path to one might lead to the other.
Earth #797
The Husband and Wife, Blink and Psylocke appear in the middle of a game hall where they find Raphael and Sabretooth playing a game of pool.
Earth #1009
With the addition of Sabretooth and Raphael the traveling group find Morph and Rogue mid-conversation.
Earth #6375
The whole lot of them appear outside the hut/eatery in which Spider-Man has been residing. Some of them decide to head in and grab some food. They meet the owner, the redheaded woman, but Sabretooth can’t get a scent on Miguel due to all the food.
As they bite into their food Psylocke and Sabretooth instantly recognize the recipes, which belong to Miguel. They report their findings to the group outside. Sabretooth says he’s going back to check things out. Morph notices the lights go out and tells the group they must have called it a night.
Moments later, Sabretooth returns and tells them Spider-Man and the owner have gone to bed together and it seems like it’s been going on for some time. Both he and Blink agree that he’s happy where he is and is finally home. Blink doesn’t want to take that away from him, chalking it up to his destiny. She suggests they leave him to it and maybe someday they’ll be just as lucky.
Crystal Palace
Everyone returns to the Palace and Sabretooth points out they’re still missing someone, Longshot. He asks Husband and Wife if they can offer any help in finding him. They tell him it doesn’t work that way. Sabretooth turns his attention towards Cat who’s at the computer terminal. She’s babbling on about some false readings on the computer screen. Sabretooth takes a look over her shoulder and tells her she’s wrong. She asks how he could know. Simple, he replies, he took a breath.
Sure enough, in another part of the crystal structure, there lies Longshot fast asleep.

Home Is Where The Heart Is
Outside the Crystal Palace
Blink lounges out on the beach outside the Crystal Palace. Leaning back in her chair she stares out at the jutting crystal shards amidst the deep blue water. She remembers the beaches from her homeworld and how they weren’t something you’d want to visit. She also remembers Morph promised to teach her how to surf, though she’s not sure what that is.
Blink’s memories:
More memories begin flooding into her mind. Memories of the day she first landed on the beach to begin her career as an Exile. She wasn’t the first to arrive. Nocturne was already sitting down on the sand. There were six of them that fell from the sky that day, each from a different reality and somehow tied to their world’s X-Men.
A figure called the “Timebroker” charged them with fixing broken realities. She recalls that on the first mission Magnus was killed. He was replaced by Sunfire who was also killed after a while. Images of her teammates, past and current, pop in and out of her thoughts as the memories of all the worlds they saved roam through her mind.
The present:
Blink finds herself wondering where she goes from here. After all, there’re billions upon billions of dimensions. She has no idea when their quest will end. Blink is snapped out of her daze when Thunderbird comes crashing to the ground right in front of her.
Nocturne comes jogging over gloating about the smackdown she just laid down on her boyfriend. Thunderbird gets up and charges her, but she leaps out of the reach of his meat hooks. She kicks him in the face and he falls again. However, upon landing, her right leg gives out, a reminder of the stroke she suffered not long ago.
Thunderbird checks on her, obviously concerned. Nocturne voices her frustration at her stupid leg. Thunderbird tells her to follow his lead. He leaps into the air and lands on his left leg. He tells her to make her left leg the foundation while she continues to work the right.
Blink turns her attention from the battling lovebirds to her former mentor and one of the more recent Exiles who are surfing out on the ocean. Sabretooth is knocked off by the waves, his surfboard jetting forward and hitting Psylocke’s. She too falls into the cold water. When they surface they’re both laughing. Blink can’t even remember hearing Sabretooth laugh like that before.
Morph walks over to Blink in a maid’s uniform and asks her if she wants some canapés, courtesy of Mystiq. Blink asks about the ridiculous outfit. Morph tells her to never make a bet with that guy. Blink takes a bite of the canapés and remarks on his superb cooking skills. Morph continues his rounds, passing food off to the rest of the nearby crew.
Everyone heads back towards the Palace, everyone except for Blink that is. Morph asks if she’s ok. Blink says she’ll be up in a bit. Morph comes back toward her and asks if she’s thinking about Mimic. She is, though she doesn’t outwardly admit it. Morph sympathizes with her, but also reminds her life goes on. “If only it were that simple,” she responds and then kisses him on the lips.
Morph comes running back up to the Palace and finds everyone else seated around the picnic table. Mystiq, manning the grill, tells them it’s self-service and although he doesn’t know how the computer generates the food it’s delicious. Everyone digs in and enjoys the tasty food.
A bit later, the Exiles sans Blink, Rogue, Sage and Cat stare up at the nighttime sky. Morph comments about the stars in the sky. Psylocke tells him she doesn’t think they’re stars, but representations of entire dimensions, the entire Omniverse as it were.
After a moment of silence Morph asks where the kids and Sage are. Mystiq comments on how strange it is to see people who are genetic twins of people he already knows. Psylocke sarcastically remarks, “The joys and wonders of Crosstime.” An image of her world’s Mystique flashes before her eyes.
Computer appears in front of Psylocke and tells the group she has a location on Rogue and Cat, but only a general location on Sage. Somehow she’s blocking her. Sabretooth says they need to get Blink and go find them, but Blink suddenly appears having received the transmission from Computer too.
Crystal Palace
While somewhere in the Palace, Cat is busy free-falling into one of the crystal trenches. She’s enjoying every second of it, a look of ecstasy on her face. Above, Rogue stands next to the winch from which Cat’s harness is attached. She can’t see Cat any longer and it bothers her.
Cat falls further and further and sees a giant cloud of pink that she’s fast approaching. She shields her face as she enters the maelstrom, alternate versions of herself reflecting off the surface.
Rogue grabs hold of the line and follows it down after Cat. She makes her way down to Cat and tries to grab a hold of her, but she resists Rogue’s touch. Cat calls for help and Rogue tells her that’s why she’s there. She grabs Cat by the back of her harness and flies upward. Cat is amazed she can fly. Rogue says she can do a lot of things, she just prefers to keep her secrets.
The Exiles arrive and find the two girls a bit banged up. Psylocke tells Computer to lock into their location because they both are going to need medical help. Psylocke cradles Cat into her arms and asks Rogue what the devil they were doing. Rogue, quite indignantly, tells her they were exploring their new home and wasn’t aware that was forbidden.
While elsewhere, Sage is lost. She clutches the granite wall as she stumbles aimlessly through the maze of passageways. Weird creatures follow after her, but she has no perception of the world beyond her eyes because her mind is in the process of being overwhelmed by the memories thrown into her brain by Roma.
Suddenly, Jim Jaspers appears and fires an energy blast from his arm. Sage barely avoids the blast. Jaspers tells her she doesn’t belong in Roma’s memories. Sage tells him it’s her mind and he’s the intruder. She punches him in the chest and he instantly transforms into Merlyn.
Merlyn stands before Sage mocking her. He asks how she could ever think she could master all the knowledge passed down to her. Sage tells him to shut up and punches him in the face. His head shatters like an urn, dust spraying everywhere. Merlyn’s cracked face lying on the ground mocks her still. Sage tells him whatever it takes she’ll find a way to win. She asks if he has anything else to say, but in reality it’s not Merlyn lying on the ground defeated, but Morph.
Sage spots two figures fast approaching, one a giant alien monstrosity and the other a red insectoid creature. She flips the bigger one over her head, who in reality is actually Thunderbird. The insectoid, Nocturne, delivers a high flying kick to the face. The insectoid falls upon landing, its leg giving out from underneath. Sage takes advantage of the situation and rushes over to give a devastating blow. The big one jumps in the way and takes the brunt force of her kick.
Blink joins the fray, blocking all the punches Sage throws at her. She gets in a few good hits before pulling out her teleportation shards. She drives them into Sage’s chest. Sage drops to her knees, finally realizing what’s happened. She asks Blink for help before collapsing into unconsciousness.
Later, Sabretooth and Blink discuss Sage’s situation. Blink wonders if it’ll happen again. Sabretooth says their best guess lies with Mystiq since he’s actually trained as a doctor. Blink asks if he trusts him, or trusts any of them for that matter. Sabretooth says they need to start somewhere because who’s to say the newbies trust them.
Sabes changes the subject and tells Blink she did real good against Sage. Blink sarcastically replies, “Hooray for me.” Mystiq enters the room and Sabretooth asks how Rogue is doing. Mystiq pours himself some coffee and tells him his guess is as good as his. He once again discusses how weird it is to see a doppelganger of his daughter. He then takes a sip and says everyone is recovering nicely.
Blink asks after Sage. Mystiq doesn’t know how she’ll do. If one of them was a telepath it might be a different story, but there’s nothing they can do to help set her mind right. Mystiq compares her situation to literally being at war with oneself.
While later, Thunderbird and Nocturne stop by Blink’s room for some conversation. They step inside and get situated on the couch. Nocturne explains her fears that her handicap might get someone killed. She doesn’t want to put anyone else at risk. Nocturne also adds that she and John have a lot to work out, not only getting her back into fighting shape, but also emotionally. Blink tells her she deserves a happy ending.
They head to the common area where everyone else is gathered. Blink breaks the news that Nocturne and Thunderbird are going on a sabbatical. She tells everyone they’re going to Heather’s dimension where Heather will monitor their progress. Then Blink drops the bomb that she’s going with them.
Everyone is shocked. Blink says she needs a break to figure things out. Morph asks about the team. Blink hugs Morph and tells him the team will go on and maybe even get better. She figures they have enemies that know them and this might throw them a curve ball.
Blink hugs Sabretooth next. He tells her to take care. Blink tells him not to force her to come back to save his butt. Creed jokes about the lack of respect she’s showing him. Morph looks downtrodden. He tells Blink it sucks. Blink asks him to promise her one thing. Morph asks if she wants some company. Blink says she’ll be too busy. Instead, she wants him to look after Sabretooth. Morph agrees and asks if she had the same conversation with him. Blink smiles.
The three departing Exiles are then whisked away to Heather’s world. Sabretooth tells the remaining group it’s time for them to go to work and start saving the Omniverse.

Chapter 1: A World Without Heroes
 Chapter 2: A Quentin In Time
 Chapter 3: Legacy
 Chapter 4: World Tour
 Chapter 5: The Lost Son
 Chapter 6: Meet the Exiles
 Chapter 7: Home
 Chapter 8: Moving On
Chapter 1Earth UnknownTwo months agoThis Earth’s Hulk was launched into space (much like 616), and he wasn’t very happy about it. Warriors of Annihilus captured him while he floated through the expansive universe. Annihilus gave him two choices: join him or die. Hulk made his own choice and killed him. He then took control of the Annihilation Wave and turned it towards Earth. The mightiest heroes on the planet went on the offensive and were all killed, most of them not even reaching Hulk’s vessel. The last hero alive was Wolverine, but after going toe to toe with the green brute he was never seen again. With no further obstacles, the Annihilation Wave was unleashed on Earth.Westchester CountyThe presentWith millions dead, including most of the superhumans on the planet only a handful of young and inexperienced heroes remain. Quentin Quire, who peers out his basement window at the roving insects, leads the most powerful group.
Sophie calls out to him from the bed, a bit rattled. Quentin moves toward her. He asks if she had another dream and if she’s ok. She cradles her arms around his neck and tells him it was a good dream, that there’s help coming. Sophie gives him permission to check around in her head if he wants to see for himself.
Quentin cranes his neck backward taking in her whole face when he asks if she’s sure. She smiles in the affirmative and cautions him against spending too much time in her mind. He asks if she’s been fantasizing about Speedball again. She semi-jokingly threatens to hit him.Quentin pops inside and sees a hazy outline of a group of figures. Sophie tells him they need to find them and bring them to them.
Meeting RoomWhat’s left of Earth’s young heroes are located in some sort of meeting room. First there’s Quentin Quire, aka Kid Omega, followed by Patriot, Speedball, Sophie, the Cuckoos (Mindee and Esme), Lightspeed and Wiccan. Quentin is finishing up his story of the heroes that help realities in trouble and how they need to get their attention. Quire explains he’s going to find them in the dimensional stream and make them come to their reality. All Quentin needs is some help and every member of his eager audience volunteers.
Quentin lays out the plan. He, Wiccan, Sophie and the Cuckoos will head over to Xavier’s while the other three stand watch. He admits it might leave them open to the Hulk’s scanners, but hopes they have enough time. While there Sophie will connect them all with Cerebra, then they’ll open up a dimensional gateway and then it’s off to find the heroes. “Piece of cake,” he concludes.
Xavier’s Institute (or what’s left of it)Kid Omega gets to work on what’s left of Cerebra. He eventually gets it to work causing Wiccan to ask for the next step in the plan. Sophie explains Quentin keyed the machine to hook up with her dream powers in order to track the heroes down. Then the Cuckoos and her will use their symbiotic nature to help combine all of their powers and focus them on Quentin.
Quentin removes himself from Cerebra and tells Wiccan that with his reality-warping powers he will hopefully be able to tap into the location of the heroes, at which point he (Quentin) will be transported there. Wiccan asks when he thought all this up. This morning, Quentin replies. Wiccan puts his hands to his head and exclaims they’re doomed.
Quentin tells him Rachel Summers was able to accomplish the same feat and she even taught a class on it at Xavier’s. Wiccan’s expression brightens and then asks why he just doesn’t send himself back in time to prevent the Hulk from being sent into space. As Quentin attaches the Cerebra helmet to his head he explains that he needs a temporal anchor, which would be Sophie’s dream, which would connect him to the portal she witnessed. He also adds he has no idea how to go back in time. Wiccan questions him on how he would know how to do this. Sophie tells Wiccan to zip it before he freaks Quentin out.
Quentin leans forward to give Sophie a kiss, but just then Lightspeed comes flying into the room warning them of a wave of bugs that have descended nearby. Quentin calls for the abort so they can escape. Sophie refuses. Quentin tells her he’s not going to leave her and that they’ll find a way to do it later. Sophie still refuses to go. She wants these heroes.
Quentin is adamant against it, but then Wiccan chimes in about the fate of the world and how this might be their opportunity to save it. The Cuckoos come rushing into the room in agreement with Wiccan’s thoughts. Sophie tells Quentin to sit down and shut up, which he does. She establishes the link, blood dripping out her mouth, nose and eyes. Quentin asks if she’s ok, but she just tells him to focus on the portal. Quentin then disappears, but not before telling Sophie to run if she can and that he’ll find her when he comes back. The four would-be heroes stare in somber silence at the chair from which Quentin disappeared.
Chapter 2Xavier’s InstituteQuentin drops from out of a dark, spinning vortex and lands against the hard, rough surface of Xavier’s Institute. However, this is not the same place he was mere seconds ago for before him is a Para militaristic-looking version of himself. The Quentin Quire of this universe takes a hit from his Kick inhaler and orders Beak to kick in his gene-trash skull.
Beak charges, bat in hand. Glob Herman stands on the sidelines hoping to get in on the action. When Beak readies to take a swing at his leader’s “freaky twin” he receives a blow to the neck. A mystery voice calls out, “You know it’s against the law to use your powers, especially for evil.” With Beak lying on the ground Glob asks what they should do. Quentin orders him to kill the “fake me” and “Night-chump.”
Glob flames up and charges Quentin. Q picks up Beak’s bat in defense. In flies Nighthawk and he takes out Glob. Evil-Quentin pulls out a gun and aims it straight at Good-Quentin. Good-Quentin tries reasoning with him, but Nighthawk takes the more direct approach, crushing Evil-Quentin’s forearm like a smushed banana. He then pulls out some sort of aerosol spray and remarks on Quentin’s wasted, drug-addled brain.
Nighthawk tells the remaining Quentin he thinks he was sent to meet him. Quentin explains he’s on a quest to find a team of heroes that travel to different realities righting wrongs. Nighthawk points at the giant statue next to them and assumes he’s referring to them, or at least the thing on his wrist tells him that. Nighthawk assures him they won’t be found on his planet, as he’s searched. Quentin asks how he’ll find them then. Nighthawk doesn’t know, but explains what happened when they visited his world.
Nighthawk relates the story of the evil superhuman named Hyperion who was thwarted by the Exiles. He explains he was a boy at the time and pulled the pale one, a shape-changer, out of some wreckage, and then never saw them again.
Afterwards, with most of the heroes dead from their battles with Hyperion, the villains took over and within a year the United States outlawed all powers. Despite the law most of the big cities were overrun with mutants or genetically engineered bad guys fighting over turf. He further explains that’s the reason he took the name Nighthawk and took up patrolling the city trying to keep people safe.
Quentin asks why he hasn’t been arrested if all powers are outlawed. Nighthawk explains he doesn’t have any powers. Quire can’t believe it and asks why he does it. Nighthawk tells him it’s the right thing to do.
As the rain pours down Quentin restates the fact the Exiles aren’t around anymore. Not for the last nine years, Nighthawk admits. He then pulls something out of his pocket and explains the guy who sacrificed himself killing Hyperion was wearing it. He had found it in the rubble after hearing someone calling out from it, but after picking it up it never spoke again. That is until an hour ago, when it told Nighthawk that someone was coming to retrieve it and to meet him right where they’re standing. He hands it over and Quentin thanks him. He starts to question what good the device will do for him, but is teleported away mid-sentence. Nighthawk is left behind to wish him well. He stares up at the Exiles’ statue and hopes maybe Quentin will come back someday to help.
Chapter 3Vi-Lock realityV-Day Remembrance ParkQuentin reappears in the middle of an outdoor memorial center. The Tallus speaks to him much to his surprise. It tells Quentin he has many tasks to accomplish. He brings the Tallus closer, explaining he doesn’t have time for tasks. He has to save his friends. The Tallus tells him he will meet the Exiles if he does as asked and will be able to save his friends. Quentin agrees.
Q asks what his first mission will be. The Tallus tells him to grab the nearby flowers and place them on a grave. He’s shocked at so simple a mission. The Tallus tells him it’s the first step. Quentin does as asked and then inquires as to the grave. The Tallus directs him to Mariko Yashida’s grave. He asks the Tallus who she was and learns of her status as a former Exile who sacrificed herself in the line of duty.
A woman approaches from behind and asks if she knows him. When Quentin replies in the negative she asks if he knew Mariko. After another “no” Mary introduces herself and tells him it’s nice of him to leave flowers. Quentin introduces himself to which Mary points out he’s soaking wet. Thinking quickly, Quentin blames it on kids with water balloons.
Luke Cage saddles over and asks Mary if she’s ready for the ceremony. She tells him to can the “I’m in charge tone” since it’s been a long time since they’ve been heroes, what, with all the Vi-Locks gone and not enough people left in the world for anyone to want to conquer it. She then introduces him to Quentin and points out his wrist. Luke is surprised to see the Tallus.
Quentin backs off, getting the feeling he’s intruding on something here. Cage offers his hand, assuming Quire’s an Exile, and tells him if it weren’t for the Exiles the whole place would be a Vi-Lock hive. Mary further explains that after they found a vaccine it was all downhill and that the last Vi-Lock was killed a year ago. She asks how Morph, Nocturne and Blink are doing. Quentin admits he doesn’t know and that he’s currently looking for them. He tells them the Tallus told him to lay the flowers down on the grave. Luke offers to tell him the story of Mariko and her heroic deeds.
Cage relates the time when Sunfire and Nocturne were sent back to their world, separated for some reason from the rest of the Exiles. They were in some hairy stuff taking out a Vi-Lock nest in Montana. He was knocked out by a Vi-Lock Colossus and while unconscious was being infected by another. Instead of taking the easier route of getting Cage back to base and administering the vaccine Sunfire blasted both him and the Vi-Lock with her flames, counting on his impervious skin to protect him. Cage adds his lungs were singed and he spent a week in the infirmary.
Mary starts laughing and Luke takes slight offense. She adds how he was singed, naked and swearing up a storm in the back of the quinjet after the battle. “Mariko kept saying she was so mortified, she just wanted to...” she trails off realizing the next word is “die.” She wraps her arms around Luke’s neck and tells him she’s going over to the celebration. Luke’s expression turns somber, informing Quentin how close the two were. He also adds Dr. McCoy, the Beast, spent a lot of time analyzing the Exiles and the way they travel and offers his help in aiding Quentin. Quentin is excited at the prospect, but then abruptly disappears. Luke looks to where Quentin was standing, wishes him luck and tells him to save a few worlds for him.
Chapter 4New Universe realityMilitary HangarQuentin “blinks” into a hangar with various military vehicles positioned throughout. The Tallus tells him it’s time for his next mission. He demands to know why the Tallus did that because those other people were going to help him find the Exiles. The Tallus reminds him they will be delivered as promised and tells him his next mission is to make sure a hero stays on the right path.
Quentin senses a figure looming behind him. Sure enough, someone in giant, crimson armor orders him not to move, that he is in a highly restricted area. Quentin tells the figure he’s not there to hurt them. The person inside the suit doesn’t believe him and asks if he’s a paranormal as the suit detected him as such.
As Quentin is blinded by the armor’s spotlight he replies he’s a mutant with the ability to read minds. He starts talking about the birth of superhumans and how the armor is made to hunt them. The woman inside asks what he’s doing as Quentin continues to peer into her mind. Quentin continues, realizing she came to destroy the armor, the one her father helped create. The girl inside readies the gun in her arm and tells Quentin if his eyes glow again they’ll be glowing for another reason altogether.
Quentin calls her bluff, pointing out she wouldn’t be destroying the armor if she really wanted to hurt him. The woman takes off her helmet and places it in the crook of her arm. She asks Quentin why he doesn’t want her to destroy the armor. After all, it was created to hunt people like him. She doesn’t want the government to use her father’s legacy to hurt people.
Quentin smiles and tells her to steal it instead, and use it to help people. The woman doesn’t like the idea. Quentin explains he knows a bit about hunting robots and tells her she doesn’t have to destroy it. She asks again what she’s supposed to do with it. He tells her to help those who can’t help themselves. She places the helmet back on and tells him he’s crazy, she’s no hero. Just then a couple dozen soldiers storm into the area and tell them they’re under arrest.
With a buttload of M-4 carbines pointed in their direction the two would-be heroes put their hands in the air. One of the men in charge, calling the woman Jenny, tells her to put her hands down. Quentin tells them to go ahead and shoot him. Jenny tells him to be quiet, as she knows what they have planned for him. Suddenly, she grabs him by the arms and takes to the air. She blasts out of the roof and into the nighttime sky.
With Quentin in tow she lands a few miles away. Jenny can’t believe what she just did, but knows her father would have liked it. Jenny takes off her helmet again and asks Quentin what their next move should be. She refers to them as some sort of crazy super-duo. She then introduces herself, Jenny Swenson, and the Spitfire armor. Unfortunately Quentin disappears, causing her to question her sanity.
Chapter 5Earth #295A rain of gunfire is unleashed as the mutant Wild Child moves about the crags and crevices of the rocky terrain. One of the gun-toting men remarks on the President and Magneto being in bed together, which doesn’t mean they have to sit around and do nothing. It’s time for payback, he adds, for the twenty-some years Apocalypse ruled the nation.
Wild Child uses his enhanced maneuverability to avoid getting hit and even getting the drop on one of the men. He leaps and claws, slicing the man’s neck wide open. The gunman’s last fleeting moments are spent blindly firing his Uzi into the air.
This, however, leaves Wild Child exposed. He takes a bullet to the shoulder. He yells out in pain. But then the other men don droopy expressions and stand motionless. Quentin appears before Wild Child and tells him the men can no longer hurt him as he shut down their minds for a bit. He comments on their non-apropos name “Friends of Humanity” as they don’t seem too friendly.
Quentin asks to see Kyle’s shoulder, but it’s already healed. Quentin remarks it must be nice. He looks at the Tallus on his arm and tells Kyle he was told he could save his friends if he saved him (Kyle), but now he thinks it’s taken too long. A figure appears out of nowhere and tells young Quentin negativity will get him nowhere. Quentin asks the guy who he is. The figure introduces himself as the Timebroker and thanks Quentin for saving his “ferocious little friend.”
Quentin asks after the Exiles. The Timebroker tells Quentin not to worry. Quentin babbles on about his world needing help. A portal appears in front of the ‘Broker and he tells Quentin to step inside and he shall finally receive the help he needs. After Quentin walks through the Timebroker stays behind to ask Wild Child for a favor.
Chapter 6Crystal PalaceQuentin finds himself within the crystalline confines of the Panoptichron. He senses no other minds, not even from the Timebroker. Quentin brandishes the Tallus and tells the Timebroker he wants to meet the Exiles as promised.
The Timebroker waves his hand and the screens hovering around the computer system light up. The Timebroker tells him he’s already met them. Suddenly on display are the visages of the heroes Quentin’s already interacted with: Nighthawk, Luke Cage, Jenny Swenson and Wild Child. He asks Quentin what he thinks.
Quentin argues those aren’t the Exiles pointing out he saw their monument on Nighthawk’s world. The Timebroker agrees those were some of the original Exiles, but now Quentin has his own team, which he will lead. Quentin is confused and demands to know what he’s talking about.The Timebroker explains there was a hiccup in his timeline that left his reality compromised. It was an accident, but in order to fix it they need to make some adjustments and he’s getting the right people to help. Quentin points at Nighthawk’s picture and argues he doesn’t have any powers. The Timebroker agrees and adds he’s not promising him anything, only giving him those heroes. Whether they win or lose, the Timebroker finishes, is up to the choices they make.
Quentin stares up at the faces. He can’t believe they agreed to help. The Timebroker reiterates they did and were eager to “crack some skulls” as Luke Cage put it. Quentin smiles for the first time and says, “Then let’s do it. We’ll make things right.”
The Timebroker tells him there’s one more thing. He needs to know that if his team is ever needed they’ll heed the call. Quentin says he’ll do anything if it means saving his world and Sophie. The Timebroker thanks him and sends him off saying, “We’ll be watching.” Quentin asks who the “we” are, but is transported away before he can get an answer.
Chapter 7Quentin’s WorldCerebra roomPatriot is pinned down by one of those nasty bugs. Speedball blasts it through the skull and then pins it up against the wall. Wiccan apologizes for letting that one through, but he doesn’t know how much longer he can hold them back. As a matter of fact the only way out is clogged with insect arms trying to breach the room.
Hopelessness and desperation cloud the young heroes’ minds. Patriot grabs some metal paneling and hoists it up like a shield. He tells Wiccan to let them through. Wiccan can’t believe what he’s saying, but Patriot tells him they have no choice. He wants Wiccan to use whatever’s left of his power to get a few of them out of there and then when the door is unblocked Speedball and Lightspeed will try to get the rest out. Patriot says he’ll be the last to go.
Sophie agrees, but Speedball begs to differ. He doesn’t want to leave anyone behind. Patriot tells him they don’t have much of a choice and orders Wiccan to drop the defensive shield. Wiccan does so and the bugs bust through. Right at that exact moment a thick laser beam blasts right through them. The young heroes look up at their salvation, Quentin and the Exiles.
Chapter 8Crystal PalaceBlink asks Sabretooth if he thinks it will make a difference. Sabretooth only tells her they gave back the heroes they shouldn’t have lost. Blink asks if they should do more. No, he replies, these heroes were killed during Hulk’s initial assault when they shouldn’t have. They were supposed to be part of an underground resistance with Quentin’s team. Sabretooth adds they can’t be messing with the small stuff anymore. He tells her not to get any ideas anyway since she’s retiring.
Sabretooth adds he’s a bit worried about Spitfire replacing Iron Man. Blink asks how many Tony Starks they’ve ever gotten along with. Sabretooth tells her she has a good point. He then asks why this world was so important to her. Because, she responds, while they were chasing Proteus around different realities they were supposed to save Iron Man and his crew from their fatal ship crash. Sabretooth tells her saving realities isn’t cut and dry. She sharply asks if he learned that while running with the Weapon X crew. No, he tells her, from the Exiles.
Sabes moves towards the computer controls telling Blink she was pretty convincing as the Timebroker. He also can’t believe a guy dressed as a butler convinced them to go around saving realities. Blink is surprised to hear their Timebroker looked differently, adding it must have been Satan himself. He brings up the image of a sexy looking blonde. Blink tells him he must be kidding. Sabretooth tells Blink she was pretty harsh.
Sabes places his hands on Blink’s shoulders and tells her not to worry, that they’ll be there to help them if need be. Blink replies she knows. She turns around and faces her old mentor. He tells her it’s time to rest. She says she hopes she did enough. Sabretooth tells her she did good, real good.

Déjà Vu
Unknown location
A large, ruby-colored, sphere hovers amidst the backdrop of a nighttime sky. Six faces can be seen through the lens of the sphere, faces that belong to a new team of Exiles about to make their debut.
However, before any action is taken, two unseen characters discuss what they’re about to set in motion. The first questions whether or not it’s going to work. It doesn’t matter, the second one replies, as there’s no time for any other course of action. The first speaker cues in on the word “time”, finding it ironic that they have none of it, stating that once it’s done there’s no turning back. “Then… make it happen” the second voice finishes.
Earth #8149
Along the city block a trio of Sentinels are experiencing system failure, electrical sparks pouring out from their fracturing helmets. Yet another is decapitated with its chest torn wide open. The assailant of these mutant-hating robots is Polaris who reminds her latest victim she has a rule about no Sentinels in her hemisphere.
Lorna looks around at the robot parts scattered all around her. Another job well done, Polaris lets her guard down. It’s just what one of the Sentinels was waiting for. It catches Polaris by surprise as one of the giant robots thought destroyed suddenly comes at her from behind. It wraps its hand around Lorna’s neck and explains it’s the S-8000 class C Sentinel, developed just for her. The Sentinel breaks down its components, explaining its entire being is composed of fiber and plastic.
Lorna’s eyes light up in blue electric fury. She tries to yell, but the grip on her throat is too tight and she can only manage a feeble cry. The Sentinel’s red pupils begin to glow even brighter until it emits a high intensity blast sure to kill Polaris. Thus ends the terror of Polaris the Sentinel decrees.
Earth #763
M.O.D.O.K. fires a blast from his helmet band that knocks Wonder Man down for the count. A concerned Beast rushes over to check on his friend. Simon lifts his head up, blood dripping from his nose, mouth and ears. He calls out weakly to Hank before collapsing dead.
Beast turns his attention toward M.O.D.O.K., screaming that he’s a freak. M.O.D.O.K. says he was only doing what he was designed to do, kill. Beast leaps at the massive-headed villain and digs his claws into the side of M.O.D.O.K.’s face. He snarls, trying to find a throat somewhere.
M.O.D.O.K. attempts to flee, but Beast holds on. He tears off one of M.O.D.O.K.’s arms and then sinks his teeth into M.O.D.O.K.’s cheek. M.O.D.O.K. threatens to detonate his fuel cell if Beast doesn’t stop. A rapid beeping starts emanating from the criminal mastermind in response. In a last cry of desperation he tells Beast he’s insane, and then explodes with enough intensity to surely kill the hero.
Earth #1119
The Panther sits crouched upon a tree branch, eyes surveying a map of sorts. Off in the far distance of the horizon sits an ancient lost city, at least up until Black Panther found it. He drops down to the ground below. His companion, L-10, an android lion, is waiting for him. Panther asks if there are any signs of life. L-10 responds in the negative, unless he’s referring to flora. Panther jokingly asks why women can’t be more direct and literal like robot lions. L-10 senses the hypothetical tone of Panther’s question and doesn’t respond.
They finally make their way to the city and enter one of the ruins. L-10 uses its eyes as flashlights and the two begin to explore. Panther starts chatting to pass the time, bringing up an archaeologist who didn’t believe the map was real and wanted him to wait until she got there before he started searching. He asks L-10 if it thinks he’s being old-fashioned scoping the place out first, and then going back and pretending he didn’t.
L-10 ignores his remarks because it’s picking up unusual sonic displacement in the vicinity. That’s when Klaw steps out from the shadows. Panther orders L-10 into evasive maneuvers, but Klaw fires immediately, tearing L-10 in half with enough force to do the same to Panther.
Earth #2814
Storm is out hovering above a large bridge with dozens of Skrull warriors standing below her. She starts flinging them to and fro with her weather powers. She asks her love, Forge, if he’s almost there because she’s not sure how much longer she can keep it up. Forge radios back he’s busted through their barricade and is almost there.
Storm looks off in the distance and rubs it in the Skrulls’ faces that their time is at an end. Forge radios back he had to reprogram and rebuild all of Sentinel city, which took about a month with the help of Nightcrawler’s teleportation. Storm just tells him to hurry up and fly the pod out so they can end it.
Forge has some bad news for her. As he continues to pilot the city-sized, spider-like, Sentinel-head ornamented, death machine he tells Storm there’s no way it would work without someone manually controlling it to fight off their attacks and defend against data-jacking remotely. Storm yells out in protest, but Forge’s decision is made. He tells Storm it’s the hardest thing he’s ever had to do, but will take satisfaction in the fact he’s rid the world of its hunters and conquerors. He tells Storm he’ll always be with her. She screams out once more, but Forge places his thumb over a red button and presses it.
The city-like monstrosity Forge was piloting erupts in a gigantic fireball of twisted metal and ashes. Storm grabs her head with her hands and screams out one last time.
Earth #8823
Stephen Strange finds his man Wong, axe in hand, trying to bust down a door. He questions Wong as to how long she’s been in there. About an hour, Wong replies, and adds that she fused the door.
Strange yells out Wanda’s name and teleports himself into the room. As he reincorporates himself he orders Wanda, who’s holding some sort of oblong sphere, to stop, that she can’t control the forces. Wanda, in extreme concentration, asks him to be quiet, reminding him he had his chance to help, but refused.
Strange pleads with her again, saying she can’t hope to command the Mists of Ectus. This mist itself begins to coalesce about Wanda. Strange begins yelling at the mist to release her. Wanda starts choking and the mist begins dragging her away. Strange invokes the Vishanti to try and set her free, but it’s no use. The mist takes Wanda to her grave… or does it.
Somewhere else
Polaris, Beast, the Panther, Forge and the Witch, with the addition of Blink suddenly all find themselves hip deep in a grassy field. Naturally, they’re all confused as to what just happened. Panther remarks on how the fields remind him of the grassy plains of Wakanda, yet it feels different, like he’s not really anywhere.
Forge asks if any of those around him brought him there. Beast points out that nobody seems to know what’s going on, suggesting probably not. Wanda recalls how she was just about to die, guessing maybe they’re all dead.
“Dead?” a loud, booming voice rings out. Atop a small hill, a long-bearded fellow with a white robe stands, pointing at the group beneath him. He informs them they are no longer in the life they knew and are ready to receive judgment. They all look up at him, scared. That’s when he smiles, winks, and tells them he’s just joking.
The white-robed fellow reverts to his true form, that of long-time Exile Morph. He introduces himself and remarks that some of them may know a different version of Morph in their reality. Beast charges him, accusing him of kidnapping, but his hand passes right through Morph’s face. Morph reminds Beast he was just about to die when they pulled him out and sarcastically promises it won’t happen again.
Forge tries using his mutant gift to ascertain any kind of transmission or projection. Morph, looking like an infomercial guy, explains he’s being brought to them by the universal collective subconscious. Morph then peels his normal guy face away and asks if any of them come from a reality where they let people finish their sentences.
The Witch finally catches on that they’re all from different realities. Morph says she’s right and Forge loses his temper, demanding to be returned to his wife. Morph asks once again for them to let him explain.
Morph takes a few steps back to an image of six headstones and tells them they can’t go back because each of them were one-thousandth of a second from dying, which is why they were pulled out. Morph further explains that if they were put back it would derail their reality, and the universe hates that.
Morph segues to the next point, discussing the aspects of the multiverse, realities intertwined into one large construct. When one reality goes out of whack, he continues, it messes up the chain and if a few go, or even a prime world it could destroy everything.
Blink asks what that has to do with them. Good question, Morph responds. He explains that since the six of them exist outside of time they can go in and fix worlds gone awry and put them back on track. Otherwise, Morph adds, they have the option of going back to their old homes. He leans against a tombstone that now reads “R.I.P. YOU.” Panther jokes that’s some choice they’ve got.
Morph transforms into the form of the original Timebroker and explains he didn’t set things up, he’s just doing what he can, in fact, he’s not even making the calls, just filling in a role. He tells them he’s a Timebroker and calls them Exiles and assures them this is no test, they really need to accomplish their mission goals.
Getting right to business Morph says they need to prep because they’re running out of time. Polaris asks how they could be running out of time if they are currently outside of it. Morph informs her they interact with time as a constant and they have to strike at the place with the most potential for success at the given time, and if they mess up the whole setup changes and they have to try again.
Now in Captain America guise Morph tells them the biggest kicker of all, that they’ll be meeting and interacting with different versions of people they knew on their homeworld. Some of them will be similar, while others will be exact opposites, he explains.
Producing a baby Hitler in his hand and a gun in the other, Morph lets them know they’ll also face some tough decisions like should they kill Hitler as a baby to prevent him from doing anything wrong. Forge asks who Hitler is. Morph figured someone wouldn’t get the reference and changes the baby to Ghandi. Forge yells out, “The fiend!” and takes a swing at him.
Blink asks if he’s going to tell them what the goals are. She lets out a surprised yell as the Tallus appears on her arm. Morph tells them about the Tallus and how they’ll be getting telepathic messages from it. It’s more than a computer, Morph continues, that will guide them along the way, sometimes remaining silent, but it’s never wrong and they must do what it says. Finally, Morph lets them know he will make contact occasionally, but stresses their need to rely on the Tallus.
Not happy with what he’s hearing Beast demands to be returned home, claiming he can survive that attack. Morph disagrees, pulling apart his own chest to reveal three separate screens breaking down three different angles of Beast’s untimely demise. Morph refers to Beast as George Bailey and says to do him a favor and fix reality.
The Panther asks what happens if they fail. Morph sarcastically mocks their “team spirit” and says they could end up dead, imprisoned or worse, but they can’t be pulled out until the line of history has been altered.
And just like that the wind picks up and the Exiles are battered about. Morph offers one last tidbit before they are all swept away. As a reward he can occasionally show them how their world continued after they “died”, he discloses.
The Exiles swirl around Morph as a bright light begins emanating from the center. Morph starts to warn them that the first few times they do this they’re likely to get sick, but they disappear before he can finish.
Unknown Earth
However, they get the gist of what he was about to say as all of them except for Blink are hurting pretty badly. Panther and Beast puke while the rest try and get their bearings. They find themselves in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees. Blink starts checking on her new teammates. The Witch, holding her hand to her face, tells Blink she must have a strong stomach. Blink chalks her non-queasiness to her mutant abilities.
The Panther checks out the local foliage and surmises they’re somewhere in southern Africa. Beast rushes over to the tree line and pukes some more. When he looks up he spies a city off in the distance.
Blink alerts the group that the Tallus informed her they’re supposed to help Wolverine overthrow Magneto. That’s not so different from where he’s from, Beast comments. They all gather round and stare at the futuristic city in the distance. They all come to the same conclusion, Genosha. Forge is surprised Magneto only rules that much. The Panther hopes they never get sent to his world. Forge tells him to try being from there.
This begs the question what do they do now, which is voiced by the Witch. Blink suggests they start by going over their mutant powers. Starting with herself she tells the group she’s a teleporter, and can displace targets with little javelins she can create. Polaris is next, revealing her control over magnetic fields. She’s not entirely sure, but thinks she may be Magneto’s daughter.
The Witch pipes up at this point and tells them she is Magneto’s daughter back on her world and that her powers behave just like magic. Tired of all the chatter, Panther gives the details on Forge and Beast and then introduces himself, the only non-mutant in the bunch.
The group walks a trail along the mountainside, getting closer to the city. It appears as if a crowd is forming around the center of it so they stop and Forge uses a pair of binoculars to get a closer look. It appears to be a celebration and he sees Magneto. The Witch asks for a look, but Forge tells her she’s not going to like what she sees.
Upon closer view Magneto can be seen riding some sort of ship above the crowds of cheering mutants. In a small cabin up top with a big ‘X’ adorning it, stands Magneto, along with a version of Wanda and Lorna as well as Moira MacTaggert. On the main deck stands Beast, Colossus, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Juggernaut, Blob, Sabretooth, Pyro and Toad. Flying alongside the ship is Phoenix, but that’s not the worst of it. Not only will they probably end up having to fight those people, but the person they’re supposed to help, Wolverine, has his head impaled upon a pike and his adamantium skeleton, torn costume and all, bolted to the front of the ship.
