He Loves You – part 2
She-Hulk has just joined a fight between her partner, Jazinda, and the two mutants, Darwin and Monet. Recognizing Monet, she inwardly curses. She doesn’t need the hassle of dealing with the legendarily insufferable Monet St. Croix.
Little does she know that Monet, hovering several feet above her, feels exactly the same way about She-Hulk. She-Hulk angrily orders her down. Ignoring her order, M asks why she is interested in Darwin. She-Hulk doesn’t even know who he is. The one she is looking for, M replies. Obviously they are operating at cross-purposes here. She sees no point in pounding on each other until they inevitably settle their differences and work together. So she’s sorry as all get-out if this disappoints She-Hulk, but they’re not going to do this.
In response, She-Hulk pulls of the top of a hydrant and hits Monet with the full blown water stream. She smirks at her foe. Yeah, okay, Monet decides infuriated. Now they’re going to do it. She dives down at She-Hulk and hits her.
Inwardly, part of She-Hulk knows she is acting like an idiot because this is pointless and ridiculous. But part of her welcomes it, saying that Monet has it coming because she looks at Jen so condescendingly. And besides it keeps her distracted from She-Hulk’s partner Jazinda.
Nearby, Darwin has Jazinda in a headlock. He warns her she may as well stop struggling. He was taught this by the best. Did the best teach him how to cope with this? she asks, as suddenly her body becomes malleable. She squirms out of his grip and kicks him in the ribs. As she gets some distance from him, she shouts at him stay back and let her do her work. He is out of his depth!
Jazinda runs past the two fighting women. Jen knows she could just tell Monet what’s going on. Explain it calmly like any lawyer would. But dammit, this is just way more fun!
 flashback:
Outside Detroit, several hours earlier, Jen Walters and Jazinda were driving away from the airport. Jen asks Jazinda what’s wrong with her. She’s driving like she’s in the Indy 500, she’s suddenly started speaking fluent “cryptic”… Jazinda asks her to trust her. She does trust her, Jen stresses, but if Jazinda doesn’t tell her what’s going on, it tells her that she isn’t trusting Jen
Jazinda thinks for a bit, then reveals that the Skrulls are coming. When? Where? Jennifer asks. Soon. Everywhere, comes the reply. They’ll be stopped, Jen supposes. The heroes like the Avengers and the FF, they live for this stuff. No, comes the curt reply. What does she mean “no?” Jen asks. It’s the opposite of “yes,” Jaz deadpans. The heroes won’t stop it. This has been planned too long, too thoroughly. New York is ground zero. But it’s going to be simultaneous and worldwide and unstoppable.
And she’s known about this? Jen demands. Yes. What does she mean, “yes?” It’s the opposite of “no,” Jaz replies, stone-faced.
Jen makes a grab for the steering wheel, ordering her to turn around. They are heading to New York! The hell they are! comes the reply. Jaz insists on their going to Detroit. They struggle for the steering wheel and Jen turns into the She-Hulk, announcing that she’s done listening to Jazinda. Then her planet’s done along with her, the Skrull woman shouts
That moment, they go over and crash. Terrific! Jaz complains. She hopes Jen’s happy. She-Hulk slugs her outside and Jaz returns to her Skrull form. How dare she? She-Hulk demands as she comes after her. Jazinda acts like her friend and then she keeps this from her! She is her friend, idiot, Jaz complains, holding her aching chin.
Yeah? She-Hulk asks. ‘Kay, here’s a couple of guidelines to being a friend… One: friends don’t let other friends drive drunk. Two: Friends give you a heads up when aliens are about to turn your planet into a real-life version of “Space Invaders.”
She didn’t know, Jazinda defends herself. Now she’s changing her story? She-Hulk asks doubtfully. The invasion was conceived years ago, Jaz specifies, but there were factions in the Skrull Empire that opposed it. She didn’t’ think it would ever happen. Obviously, those factions changed their minds or were simply eliminated.
How is she supposed to believe her? Jen asks. Because if she didn’t care about this planet, she wouldn’t have told her at all, Jaz replies. Maybe she’s just trying to get her as far as possible from New York, so she can’t be any help, Jen speculates. Jaz tells her she’d fight and die. As they are standing on the highway, a wildly honking truck closes in. Jen holds it off with one arm, crunching its front. Hey, she’s talking here, she complains annoyed.
Turning back to Jazinda, she corrects her that she’d fight, but not die. In turn, Jazinda interrupts her. Yes, she would. That’s the plan. She’d die! Unless they’d think she’d be of unique use to them. Indispensable. And since the Skrulls aren’t going to be looking to sue anyone or round up someone who skipped on their bond, she’s guessing She-Hulk won’t fall into that category. They will kill her and Jaz will go back to being a bounty hunter, roaming the galaxy, trying to stay one step ahead of her own people. She can’t go back to that life. She just can’t.
Both of them keep silent for a moment. Finally, Jen asks why Detroit. What’s there? The Talisman, Jazinda explains. She acquired a general sense of him and knew he was close within range. The closer they are to him, the clearer her awareness of him becomes.
Who the hell is the Talisman? Jen asks. Returning to the caravan, Jazinda explains that his presence is what made her realize the invasion was imminent. If the Talisman appears on any world, a full-scale Skrull invasion is sure to follow. If they can capture him, they might be able to short-circuit the invasion before it even starts. She asks Jen to get them back on the road. Jen lifts up the caravan and apologizes for punching her before. Fortunately, she hits like a girl, come the reply.
Now…
She-Hulk flips Monet over and crashes her into a car. That all she got? Jen scoffs. Lady she’s always got more, someone announces. Monet’s teammate Guido Carosella aka Strong Guy literally beats her into the ground. More friends. More resources. And more goin’ for her than She-Hulk’ll ever have!
Looking up, She-Hulk remarks Strong Guy’s loyalties are commendable. But there’s more going on here than he knows. So how about she tell him all about it? he asks aggressively. He should know better, she replies. Rather than tell, it’s always preferable - she kicks him in the unmentionables – to show!
Several hours earlier:
Back on the road, Jazinda continued with her explanation. The Talisman’s name is Nogot. He is the holiest of Skrulls. One step below the gods themselves.
Skrulls have a religion? Jen asks incredulously. Ohh yes, Jazinda replies. Gods and everything. The Talisman is the representation of the gods and his presence is required to ensure the gods’ blessing on their endeavors… particularly major ones such as an invasion. All Skrulls can sense his presence, no matter how far away they are. It brings them security, peace, and a sense of rightness about their actions.
In her case, she is disconnected from her people, so it took her longer to become aware of his presence. But now that she is, it gives them an advantage that no one else in the world has. Her people keep the Talisman away from the main area of fighting because if anything happened to him, the loss to morale would be incalculable. It would mean the gods have abandoned them. Believe it or not, the invasion hinges on the moral certitude that their actions are blessed by the gods. Without that, they couldn’t proceed. Capture the Talisman, threaten the Talisman, hell, kill the Talisman if necessary and they can stop the invasion before it starts.
Now…
Longshot runs through a crowd, unheeding of the people he pushes aside. Suddenly, he is shot in the ankle and falls. Jazinda raises her weapon. So this is where she is hiding out, Longshot snarls, adding the word “traitor”. The gods have turned her over to them. Pointing her gun at him, Jaz remarks considering who’s holding the gun, it seems to her he and the gods might not be quite on the same page.
Suddenly, Darwin steps between them and asks Jazinda to please put the gun down.
Jazinda curtly informs him that Longshot is a Skrull. Yeah? And what does she know about it? Darwin pleads doubtful. More than he does, she retorts and shows her true Skrull face. Now step aside, she orders him.
Darwin is still doubtful. Impatient, Jazinda just fires at him. Big mistake as the bullet ricochets from Darwin’s chest and hits her.
She-Hulk tries to raise her via comm. Darwin anxiously asks Longshot where the rest of the team is. Longshot asks him to follow.
She-Hulk heads into the directions she believes Jazinda ran into when Madrox steps into her way. Oh now what? she exclaims annoyed. Now she stops acting like a curvier version of her cousin and tell them in a calm rational manner what the hell is going on. Madrox shoots back. Or what? she snorts. He’ll beat it out of her? Well, that’s not the “A” plan he admits, but he will if he has to.
Still crouching on the ground in pain, Guido moans a supportive “That’s tellin’ ‘er, Boss.”
Annoyed, She-Hulk informs Madrox that he is a boring guy whose power is to turn into a lot of boring guys. Here’s a thought: how about he take her word that the future of the planet is at stake and leave it at that? She runs past him. How about we don’t? another two Madroxes ask who step in her way and who are quickly joined by more.
As She-Hulk swats them aside, she announces this is getting old fast. He is still a normal-strength guy. And a bunch of normal strength guys are no threat. Then how about a crowd of boring, normal-strength guy? even more Madroxes ask as they crowd in on her, or a slew or an angry mob? Go ahead, he tells her. Tell him how she’s got the strength of a hundred men or two hundred. Hell, make it a thousand. Doesn’t matter how many she says, he’ll match that and add one more!
Buried under the Madroxes, Jennifer realizes that this is her fault. She should have done exactly what Monet suggested. Instead, she gave in to the impulse to slug it out and look where it’s got her. The planet is in peril and she is needlessly hampered by a dog-piling mutant. She wonders what is happening to her. First she jumps Hercules’ bones and now she leads with her fists instead of her head.
Monet catches up with them. One of the Madroxes reminds her of their first priority: find Darwin. A couple of his dupes are moving in on him, but he doesn’t want to take chances, Especially if Longshot is traveling with him. He asks her to round him up. She flies upward but announces she wants another crack at She-Hulk before this is over.
She-Hulk hears this and all thought of anything except more fighting go right out of her head. She is starting to wonder whether there’s more going on with her than she admits. It’s like she is becoming someone else. And she has to say, whoever she is, she kind of likes her.
Not far away, Darwin follows the running Longshot, wondering why that woman would accuse Longshot of being a Skrull. She is a Skrull herself, Longshot replies. Darwin saw that. Her kind will say anything to…
Monet lands, calling out to them. Darwin apologetically states he was going to cycle back to make sure she was okay. Touching his shoulder, she assures him she is always okay. She’s glad she managed to catch up with him. What she doesn’t get is him, she tells Longshot. Where the hell did he come from? Oh, he shrugs, his hooking up with Darwin was just one of those lucky things that happen to him.
Darwin, in the meantime, is in 7th heaven. Monet touched him. And she was glad. What? Monet asks irritated. Nothing, he replies quickly and tells her there was this Skrull woman who said Longshot was a Skrull.  Skrull? Monet asks and looks at Longshot sharply. Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard? he asks. Maybe not, she decides and touches Longshot’s skull, intent on telepathically scanning him. Longshot first protests that’s absurd, then agrees to it and allows her to scan.
Monet focuses and then announces she’s done. She doesn’t detect anything abnormal. He’s not a Skrull. Well, of course he’s not, Darwin agrees. If he were and he ever posed a threat to him or his survival, he’d probably evolve some sort of ability to see thought his disguise. Like… He doesn’t know, being able to jolt his molecular structure somehow with a touch so that he’d… lose control of his ability to disguise himself…
Darwin’s words trail as he sees what he as inadvertently done. Having touched Longshot, as if in demonstration of his words, Darwin’s powers have acted just as he mused, involuntarily deactivating the Skrull’s disguise. Now revealed, the Skrull immediately fires an energy blast at Monet.
“Someone… anyone… a little help?” Darwin shouts, all alone, while some distance away She-Hulk and the Madroxes still slug it out.

Act 2 – The Child
Attilan: inside the palace, Luna, youngest member of the Royal Family, asks the teleporting dog Lockjaw where he has been. He’s all wet and smelly. He’s been out in the rain and it never rains in Attilan. He’s been down to Earth, hasn’t he? She told him: that’s not allowed! They are at war, she muses. Black Bolt says they all have to prepare for the worst. If they get invaded, everybody will have to fight.
Lockjaw hopefully brings her a small ball. Luna apologizes. No time to play. She’s a member of the Royal Family. She’s six years old. She’s not a kid anymore.
Later at Karnak’s training center:
Both Karnak and Luna are holding long sticks. Addressing her as Luna Amaquelin, Karnak reminds his niece she is a member of the Inhumans elite. He is an American soldier and has come to kill her uncle Blackagar Boltagon, her aunt Medusa, her mother Crystalia Amaquelin. And he has come to kill her. He attacks her with a scream.
Luna simply steps aside. It’s not fair, she figures. Karnak has good fighting skills and he’s very fast, but she can see his moves before he makes them. By the time he strikes, she is not there anymore. He doesn’t stand a chance as she rams him with her wooden sword. When he lies on the ground, she gets ready to strike, but he shatters the sword.
Luna muses that, since she’s inhaled the mists of Terrigen, she’s been able to see things. Kalikya calls them auras. She’s a healer and can sense them a little, but not like Luna can. She can see what people are feeling. She knows when they are happy or angry. Like Uncle Karnak. He wants her to think he’s pleased with her and he is. But he’s angry too. Still, Karnak praises her. Luna sees many colors in his head meshed together. She doesn’t think he likes her as much as he used to.
She’s becoming quite the little warrior, isn’t she? he asks. Suddenly Luna screams, feeling pain. And finally she figures it out. The humans are using the Terrigen Mists.
At the Pentagon’s ONE security unit, the transmuted Gorgon breaks out of his chamber, thus also releasing the Mists to which Professor Cartwright is exposed. Gorgon collapses. Looking at his newly muscular body, the professor remarks, “This is interesting.”
Twenty four hours later, Maria Hill, Commander of SHIELD, asks him how he is. Hooked up to devices, he explains he is busy as he has become his own test subject. Hard to believe that only a day ago he was the proverbial 120-pound weakling. Now he can benchpress ten times that. To tell the truth, a day ago he wasn’t exactly sure what “benchpress” meant.
Turning his back to her as he fiddles with machinery, he asks for the news from Capitol Hill. The president has ordered a halt to experiments on Inhumans she replies. It’s too dangerous. He protests, telling her to look at him. Exactly, she replies wryly. The president would like to continue the experiment but only on non-mutant humans like Cartwright. Look what secondary Terrigenesis did to Gorgon, she reminds him. She’s told it takes a liter of Tiletamine per hour to keep him under. One like that is more than enough.
However, the public is demanding some kind of retaliation for the attack on New York and the president doesn’t have confidence in the superhuman population. It’s his view that they are too unpredictable. What he’s looking for is an elite force of handpicked discipline volunteers. US marines.
Cartwright points out it will be a few weeks before they are ready to try that again. They need to know what exactly is happening here. Masses of data to analyze. In case he hasn’t noticed, Hill reminds him, they are at war. So think days! There are side effects, he wants. Dizzy spells, nausea, itchy scalp, she recalls. Hardly terminal, is it? He certainly hopes not, he replies.
In the dungeons of Attilan, Maximus, mad brother of the king, cowers, muttering there is a ticking in his head. Tick-tick tick. He thinks it may be a time-bomb.
Unsurprised, he turns around, greeting his brother. Why does Black Bolt come here? he asks. Does he need to confess his sins. Shall he say them for him? Bless me, Maximus, for I have sinned, he begins a mockery of the Roman-Catholic ritual of confession. I opened my big mouth and blew Attilan into little tiny pieces. And then I locked my own brother away because I knew he would make a better king… locked him away in a cold, dark dungeon.
Maximus stops the speech and smirks That is not the big one, is it? What is it that wakes Black Bolt at night on the edge of a scream? Is it because he killed Mommy and Daddy? Never mind, Maximus will make it all better. He absolves him of his sins. Say three Hail Marys and – ah, silly him, he was forgetting. Mum’s the word. He makes a sshh sign.
Back Bolt’s antenna crackles with energy and Maximus is slammed backward against the wall’s mirror which cracks. Now look what he’s done! Maximus admonishes him. Seven years bad luck for both of them!
As Black Bolt turns away. Maximus asks him to wait. He knows why he’s come down here. He doesn’t know what to do, does he? Started a war and doesn’t know how to finish it. His problem is he never understood humans. He thinks Americans are soft? He thinks he can hit them and they won’t hit back? Two words, he tells his brother with a grin: Hiroshima. Nagasaki.
In war, humans are vicious, brutal and without mercy. Has he heard of Winston Churchill? Maniac-depressive. Drank too much. Always knew what a situation required. When England was about to be invaded by Nazi Germany he had anthrax bombs prepared to drop on them. He was willing to make half of Europe uninhabitable for decades rather than let his enemies set one foot on his country’s soil. Now, that was a leader!
He reaches out of the cell almost touching his brother. Black Bolt can win this war if he only has the will. Say the word: Gen – o –cide. It’s not an ugly sound, is it? The humans’ world will end with a sigh from his sweet lips.
Black Bolt turns away. He always does this, Maximus states. He always walks away from him. Does he know what Churchill said about ditherers like him? He memorized that one just for him.  So they go in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute… all-powerful to be impotent! Who’s got the voice now, brother? he calls after him. Who’s got the voice?
Black Bolt and Medusa take Luna to the scanning room and Desidera, a finder who helps her see where the crystals are. Because Luna used them so many times she has a bond with them. Luna’s scanning first seems to lead them to New York, but she claims this is the wrong place.  Finally, they pinpoint the Pentagon. Luna silently notes that she feels Black Bolt’s and Medusa’s sadness.
On the SHIELD heli-carrier, Director Hill is told that something triggered the deflector in the Pentagon. There are five humanoid intruders and one inconclusive. What the hell is that thing? Lockjaw, Hill replies. The others being the Royal Family members Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, and Karnak as well as another tall bald Inhuman called Somnus.
The defectors worked perfectly. Hill radios the Sentry telling him his guests are arriving at the designated coordinates. He has forty-five minutes to make nice… then the boys with the big guns will be arriving. Finished with the conversation, she announces to nobody she still thinks they should have bounced them into an incinerator.
The Inhumans find themselves surrounded by whiteness somewhere in the icy cold. This is definitely not the Pentagon. The Sentry floats above them, remarking now they have brought the war to Earth. Oh, not you, Robert! Crystal exclaims.
Karnak orders Somnus to create a dream quickly. Blackness emits from Somnus’ eyes and he throws a small ball of it at the Sentry who simply deflects it at Karnak.
Karnak screams as the blackness is sucked in by his eyes and rambles. The Sentry apologizes. He hopes he’s not injured. It’s just a dream, Crystal explains. He will sleep for a while. It wouldn’t have harmed the Sentry.
Medusa draws her sister back with a tentacle of her hair, telling her to let Black Bolt handle him. Black Bolt flies upward toward the Sentry and pulls him along. Not fighting back, the Sentry assures him he is not here to fight him. Some of them are still trying to avoid the war.
To prove what he can do, the Sentry creates a chasm in the ground with a gesture. SHIELD agents will be here soon, he states. He went to a lot of trouble to persuade them to let him talk to the Inhumans first. So, let’s talk! He and Back Bolt sit down across each other. The Sentry states he understands what Black Bolt is going through. He knows the responsibility of power and he knows Black Bolt doesn’t want this war. It’s possible he can still pull back, but he must understand they will never return the Mists. They are afraid of him. The Mists make the Inhumans too strong!
Let them believe the Inhumans are weaker than they truly are. Go home. He can’t promise… but, with negotiation, Gorgon and the others may be released to him. The alternative is unthinkable. The two of them are like nuclear weapons. They work as a deterrent, but if they were to go to war… Does Black Bolt know the term “mutually assured destruction?”
A little later, Black Bolt returns to the others. SHIELD is about to arrive and Sentry prays Black Bolt has listened to him. What the hell happened here? Hill asks the Sentry, pointing at the chasm in the ice. Global warming, he replies.
The Inhumans have returned and Desidera informs them that Luna lied about not seeing anything in New York. There is a second source of the Mists there. Luna’s father Pietro Maximoff kept some of the Terrigen crystals.
Luna wonders how Black Bolt can be scared. Medusa orders Luna to come with them and she asks them not to hurt her father.
Lockjaw teleports them to the part of New York known as Mutant Town to Quicksilver’s office building. Unsurprised, he remarks he was beginning to think they weren’t coming.
He greets Luna, who apologizes. He tells her not to. He’s glad to see her. Crystal too. Nothing to say to him? he asks his estranged wife who glares at him. Angrily, she states they are here for the crystals. Ah, yes, the crystals, he replies grinning. Well, that’s a problem. He takes off his shirt. If they want the crystals they’ll have to rip him apart to get them. The crystals are embedded in his torso.

Act 3 – The Mother
The Inhumans silently gaze upon Quicksilver, who has bared his chest to reveal the Terrigen crystals are now a part of him. His estranged wife, Crystal, recalls that there was a time when the sight of him would take her breath away. He was so beautiful. What’s wrong? Pietro asks her smirking and addressing her as “my love.” Cat got her tongue? Their daughter Luna asks what’s wrong with him. Crystal thinks to herself Luna should not see her father like this.
Pietro addresses them: he knows what they are thinking, but their priests would do the same if only they had his insight. Medusa demands he explain himself.
It’s actually not as bad as it looks, he replies. It doesn’t even hurt anymore. He did this after the Americans took the crystal from him on Genosha. All he had left were a handful of fragments. But that was enough for what he needed.
Flashback:
He communed with the Terrigen mists for six days and nights. On the seventh day, he experienced a moment of absolute clarity. He saw what he had to do. He stuck the crystals hard into his chest. His body welcomed them. As they pierced his flesh, his mind was filled with a blinding light.
present:
Then he became one with the crystals, Pietro announces. With these hands, he can heal. Do they understand? he demands They chose him. Take him back to Attilan. Tell their precious genetic council that he has the power to bestow Terrigenesis.
Is he insane? Medusa demands. When he was last in Attilan, he committed murder! He stole the sacred mists of Terrigen and started a war. There is a sentence of death upon him, should he ever return.
Crystal thinks to herself that, through all the troubles their race suffered, there has always been one constant. Black Bolt always stood as their center, an island of calm, the perfect example of self restraint. However, unsettled by the words of his mad brother, Maximus, Black Bolt suddenly and wildly attacks Quicksilver and Crystal realizes that no reconciliation with her husband will be possible. She wonders why Pietro doesn’t use his power of timetravel to escape the blows. Perhaps he believes he deserves this.
Luna begs her uncle to stop and Medusa finally restrains him with her hair, reminding him this is not their way.
A part of Crystal is crying out to run to Pietro and hold him. The weaker part. Luna does it though. Pietro tells his daughter not to worry. He could leave here any time but Black Bolt would keep coming after him. That’s why he decided to get this over with. He’d rather take a beating than spend his life anticipating one. A few days ago he timejumped. He will be arriving quite soon, in fact. He’ll still be alive after they leave. He knows because he’s seen it. A few bruised ribs, is all. He thinks he already has those.
Medusa remarks that, while they are aware of his time travel ability, how did he know to come here today? That’s too fortuitous to be coincidence. Not exactly a coincidence, he admits. There’s a child in Mutant Town named Layla. She knows things. She seemed to think it was important for him to see what would happen when they met, to know that Black Bolt is not actually going to kill him.
Luna looks at the darkness she perceives surrounding her uncle.
Outside the building, Layla Miller explains things to Jamie Madrox. For a while, there she was pretty sure Pietro was meant to die but, after she tried that and he survived-- Wait just a second! he orders. She tried to kill Pietro? He is totally evil, she excuses her behavior. If he isn’t killed he’s going to do something bad. Worse than decimation? Madrox asks. Worse than starting a war with the Inhumans? Yup, Layla assures him as they enter the elevator.
Madrox tries to take it in. So Pietro has to die. Actually, no, she replies. When it came down to it, she couldn’t kill him. See, he triumphs, she isn’t such a cold-blooded, little—Layla interrupts. She would have, but she couldn’t and that suggests that the bad things he’s going to do are supposed to happen. So they—have to keep him alive? Madrox asks, completely confused. For now, Layla agrees. They exit the elevator and walk toward the office. Don’t bother to knock, Layla orders. He is expecting them. What’s happening in here anyway? he wonders. Should they have brought Rahne and Guido with them? And what is the baseball bat she brought good for? It’s for him. She presses it into his hands as she opens the door.
Oh crap! Jamie mutters as he sees who is there. Layla on the other hand isn’t impressed. Maybe they haven’t heard, she tells the Inhumans, but they are X-Factor and Mutant Town is their territory! They want to mess with their people, they have to go through X-Factor first!
Layla, shut up, Madrox whispers. Heh, he mutters as Black Bolt towers before and over him. A moment later, the silent king has grabbed him by the jacket. Madrox squeaks hat he realizes they have issues with Pietro. So under the circumstances, he thinks they could make an exception here.
Black Bolt throws him to the ground. Automatically, Madrox creates a dupe. An aggressive one that attacks Black Bolt who hits him, causing another dupe to split off. He’s Madrox, the Multiple Man, Layla explains. They can’t beat him. Every time they hit him, another dupe is created.
With her hair, Medusa grabs one of the Madroxes, the original, and holds him up. Her husband has the power to cause every electron in his body to simultaneously collide with every adjacent electron. He wonders if Madrox has any idea what would happen then. Would each individual collision cause a duplicate to be created? She’s bluffing, one of the dupes claims while the other marvels that would be amazing. Let’s take him! is their decisions. Guys, seriously, the original calls from above. Not a good idea. He dissolves the dupes and suggests they calm down.
She told him she’d bring the cavalry, Layla tells Quicksilver. Now it’s his turn. She turns toward the Inhumans. Pietro has something to tell all of them. She urges him to tell them what he saw. What will happen because of him.
Luna points at Layla, shouting that something is wrong with that girl. Looking at her makes her sick! She doesn’t know what to make of Layla’s aura. Luna makes her feel kind of nauseous too, little miss cute as a button! Layla snaps back.
What did he see? Crystal asks her estranged husband. Hesitatingly he begins that this was after he sent Luna back to her. When he was using the Mists. Towards the end he achieved an altered state of consciousness…
Quicksilver’s story:
Before then he could only timejump a few weeks forward at most and remain in the future for less than an hour. But now he found he could jump further ahead. Months into the future. He was able to remain for several days. Enough time to learn that war had broken out between the United States and the Inhumans. Civilians had been killed and the hawks in the US administration were calling for decisive retaliation.
Suddenly the people on the street shouted out and looked up to the sky in horror. Pietro did too, seeing something terrible happening on the shadowed surface of the moon. A catastrophic release of energy visible to the naked eye. He knew where the explosion was located. The Blue Area. Attilan, he whispered in horror.
present:
What has he done? Crystal sighs. It’s too late for regrets and recriminations, Pietro insists. This event will happen. She has to send Luna with him. Attilan is not safe for her. With him? Crystal scoffs. Look at himself! He looks aside. With the Fantastic Four then, he urges. They are the Inhumans’ enemies now, Crystal replies. Because of him. Then take her to Atlantis or Wakanda, he begs. Somewhere she will be looked after in safety.
Luna speaks up and refuses. She is an Inhuman and her place is with her people. Black Bolt makes a gesture. They are finished here, Medusa translates. She warns Pietro that he is under sentence of death by order of the genetic council of Attilan. If his path crosses that of Black Bolt again, the penalty will be carried out. He shouts at Crystal to wait but the Inhumans teleport away.
Angrily he turns to Layla. This isn’t right. What Layla showed him was he with Crystal. She’ll be back in a few minutes, Layla promises. Just wait here. She and Jamie have to leave.
Outside, Madrox asks her if she is sure what she is doing. 95 percent give or take, she admits. She had to set it up this way or Pietro would have disappeared the moment Black Bolt appeared. He’s not good at confrontations. And what purpose does all this serve exactly? Jamie asks.
It’s very complicated, Layla replies. It’s about despair. Some people have to go all the way to the bottom, before they can start to climb back up. Well, he guesses Pietro is about as low as he can get, Jamie remarks. Not yet, is her reply.
Quicksilver appears before them, now all costumed, clearly from another time. He’s here against his better judgment, he announces to Layla. What is so important he had to jump three days into the future to see it?
Layla explains that Black Bolt has been here and he has worked future Pietro over a little. A few bruises, maybe a couple of cracked ribs. Pietro looks up. And he just took it? Why didn’t he get out? Because Crystal and Luna were here, too. There are some things he needed to say to them. About what he saw. Pietro clenches his fists, denying it. Yes, he does know what she is talking about! Layla insists. Anyway, it’s done. He’s told her everything just like he was supposed to. And when they get up there, he is just supposed to look. Don’t go inside or he will mess up everything!
Inside the building, the other Quicksilver from the present is putting on a shirt when Crystal reappears. He knew she’d be back, Pietro announces. She has something important to tell him, she states. He takes her hands, promising they can fix this. He loves her and Luna. They can be a family again. He has to wake up, she replies. It’s over. When he took Luna she formally applied to the Council for an annulment of their marriage. That annulment has been granted. But their marriage was on Earth- he protests, not—
She’s Inhuman, Crystal interrupts. That’s the only law she recognizes! What about Luna? he pleads. He’s her father. He must have the right-- Sadly she cradles his head as she explains he has no rights. Luna made her choice too. He will never see her again. She’s sorry. She gives him a farewell kiss.
Layla and the other Pietro watch through the slightly opened door but are too far away to understand the conversation. See, fight’s over, Layla tells him. He’s still alive and Crystal came back to make up. All’s well with the world. He’s seen enough, she decides and tries to drag him away. He wants to hear what Crystal said but it’s too late as he switches back to his time.
Madro admits Layla is full of surprises. That was actually kind of sweet. He thought she hated Pietro. She does, Layla replies and looks at present Pietro, dejected and alone. She really does.
On the moon in Attilan, Crystal remembers Pietro and tells herself she does not love him anymore. Luna joins her and admits she is frightened. When they were on Earth with her father—Crystal interrupts her daughter. She must not think about that. He’s sick! She mustn’t worry about what he said. She’s not afraid about that, Luna tells her. It’s her uncle. Black Bolt. She saw something in his head. Something really bad…
Until then, Crystal had always believed in Black Bolt. At the moment, she is certain of nothing. Perhaps this time they will perish with their city. Perhaps the time of the Inhumans is over.
In his jail cell, Maximus is expecting a visitor who prostates herself before him. Medusa kneels as Maximus promises he will make everything better…

1st story:
Death Threats
1st story:
The law office of Murdock and Nelson has many prestigious clients. But none is anything like the entering mercenary known as Silver Sable! And she needs to see Matt. Foggy apologizes, and explains to Silver that Matt was found murdered. She finds that very tragic, as Matt was an outstanding attorney. Foggy adds that Matt was a good friend as well. When he opens the drapes in the dark room, he doesn’t notice that outside, a costumed man has been watching the office. But as the drapes open and he notices Silver Sable, he jumps away before Foggy can even see him.
Foggy mentions that Matt would have liked it that if someone as revered as Silver would have called him outstanding, but Foggy is certain that he can help out Sable as well. She stands up and, with a serious look on her face, explains that an associate of hers, Jaques Girard, is having a bit of difficulty with the American government as they speak. Jaques has been framed for conspiracy, treason and murder. Silver Sable mentions that she is prepared to pay any costs that assures victory and will place her own team of investigators at Foggy’s disposal.
Foggy recalls that government cases can be real difficult sometimes. Silver Sable mentions that, if Foggy would win this case, it would surely improve his reputation. But Foggy isn’t interested in that. He suggests that the best place to start is at the beginning. He hates to start with such a redundant question like he is about to ask, but he has to know if Silver Sable has any enemies.
Outside the office building, a silver-colored limousine sits parked. Its driver is carefully eying each passerby, but somehow manages to miss an important one: none other than… Deadpool! It’s Howdy Doody time for Wade. He jumps into the car, but the chauffeur quickly reacts and takes out his guns. He points them at Wade’s chin, shouting that he hates that puppet. Deadpool jokes that everyone’s a critic these days. He guesses that he better makes like a tree, and goes for it. The chauffeur agrees. Deadpool was only kidding. He breaks the chauffeur’s arm, and then gives him a painful headbutt. He jokes that people have got to learn to fire guns instead of just pointing them at people.
At the same time at the Plaza Hotel, one of Manhattan’s finest and expensive places to stay, is also sadly a place that attracts trouble. Terrorists with guns tried to rob it, but luckily have been stopped by Paladin. He found it a piece of cake, and mentions to the crooks that he couldn’t let them get away with embezzling from Silver Sable International as long as he’s on the lady’s payroll. Paladin notices a scared Jonathan, and remembers that he wanted to cut his wages when he was working for Sable.
Jonathan asks Paladin what he’s going to do to him. That depends on himself. Paladin grabs Jonathan by his clothes, and says that they have to know what he did to the money and why he took it. He promises Jonathan that, if he tells him what he wants to know, he’ll let him live. Jonathan claims that it wasn’t him who took the money, but Paladin doesn’t believe him. Paladin tosses the guy down, explaining that he had been following him around for weeks, and now he’s bored. So, they’ll have to do it the hard way now. Paladin wants Jonathan to think about that while he’ll go use his phone.
Back at the office, Foggy’s phone rings. It’s the Symkarian embassy. Silver Sable takes the phone, and understands what the caller tells her. She wants a full report. She stands up and apologizes to Foggy, but she has to leave. Foggy claims to have enough to start on the case, and promises to be in touch. As Silver Sable walks out of the office, she doesn’t notice Daredevil watching her. Daredevil finds it ironic, and thinks that Silver Sable should try to secure the services of his “dead” alter ego, considering their earlier conflict over Eddie Passim.
Silver walks to her car, and instructs her chauffeur to head back to the embassy right now. The door opens, but the chauffeur changes his mind. Deadpool comes out, and holds his gun up. He jokes that the union changed drivers, and no longer has embassies. Silver Sable recognizes Deadpool, despite it has been a long time since they last saw each other. It hasn’t been long enough for her. She grabs Deadpool’s arms, but he wants her to come along quietly. She won’t, and punches Wade. She recalls how much funding he cost her the last time they met. Silver throws Deadpool through the car’s windows, and he jokes that she knows how to hold a grudge. She tells him to just consider himself lucky that she’s in a hurry.
Silver Sable starts the car, not having time for games. She can’t imagine which one of her enemies would have sent Deadpool after her. Had she had the opportunity of spare time, she would beat the answer out of the merc. She starts to drive away, but Deadpool is disappointed that there isn’t even a tag. She apologizes, and drives in reverse, and hits Wade in his back! She drives away.
Deadpool admits that he had forgotten what a temper Silver Sable has. He wonders if she remembers he is practically indestructible, or maybe Sable wanted him dead, or perhaps she didn’t care. Nah, Wade thinks, that would be impossible. A cab passes by, and Wade whistles to stop. The driver does as told. Wade climbs aboard and takes out his sword. He kisses the chauffeurs on his forehead, and threatens with his sword to follow Sable’s limo. The chauffeur’s confused, but Deadpool tells the guy to just move and do as told.
At the same time at the embassy, Larry Arnold is ready for his first day of orientation into the Wild Pack. As he watches other people train, the butler mentions to Larry that, even though he passed all the other tests, he will be taken away on as a member of the Wild Pack on a trial basis. There, he must learn to interact with the team. But the butler warns that some of the team members are not so found of new recruits. Larry finds that out when the members of the Wild Pack start calling him names for being a black man, and also don’t like him because he’s short.
The butler mentions to Larry that this is an extraordinary opportunity for Larry, but he won’t make any promises. The butler walks away, quoting that the streets of Los Angeles aren’t the place for anyone to die. He mentions to Larry that Silver Sable is giving him this opportunity because of his friendship with Quentino. Once the butler is gone, Larry gets into an argument with Crippler, who calls him a boy. Upset by a white man calling him “boy,” Larry punches him to the other side of the room.
Meanwhile on the streets, Deadpool’s cab is closing in on Silver’s limo. He tries to shoot her from the cab, but misses. He jumps towards Sable’s car, and tells Silver that this is about money, and that she should have come quietly. But since she chose to drive over him, Wade feels like an unloved merc, so he has no choice… and shoots at Silver!
Daredevil arrives and kicks Deadpool away from the streets, telling him that they belong to him. Wade is surprised to see him, and cries that two against one isn’t fair. Silver Sable, having survived all of the bullets, jumps furiously out of her limo and shouts at Wade that he will pay for the repairs. That is, if Sable won’t kill him first. She starts shooting at Wade, with Daredevil just barely able to dodge her bullets. The smoke clears, and Silver Sable notices that Wade isn’t dead. They notice Deadpool crawling up after having ducked, and aiming to a sewer hatch. Sable mentions to Daredevil that she isn’t sure if Deadpool can be killed.
She notices the “D” mark on Daredevil’s uniform, and not recognizing Daredevil in his new costume, she mentions to whom the mark actually belongs to. Daredevil mocks that the “D” signs belong to him now. And he shouts to both Silver Sable and Deadpool that he doesn’t want either maniac running wild on his streets. Deadpool notices that it looks like Sable doesn’t have any bullets left. He picks up the sewer hatch and throws it at Sable, but Daredevil intercepts it by kicking it away.
With Silver Sable attracting the wrong kind of attention to him, Deadpool decides it’s best for him to escape, and jumps inside the sewer, mentioning to the heroes that they can follow him if they want to. Having her guns reloaded, Silver gives Deadpool what he wants and she and Daredevil follow the merc through the sewers. However, in her impatience, she doesn’t notice that Deadpool has tossed his sword at her. Luckily, Daredevil has seen it, and punches it away with his billyclub. Silver Sable is amazed by the quick reaction.
At the same time, far below the Earth’s surface, in an old abandoned Hydra base, the Genesis Coalition has secured a stronghold. They have arrested Dmitri, and inform the man that he has outlived his usefulness. They explain to Dmitri that he will be detained until they have decided if they should kill him or use him in a bargaining chip with Baron von Strucker for his treasonous actions against Hydra. Dmitri tries to make Trefkov that he will regret this in more ways than he will ever conceive.
Trefkov isn’t impressed. He thinks he should have trusted Dmitri with anything more than stealing from Hydra. Ernst Sablinovia isn’t sure. Trefkov thinks that it was wise to send Deadpool after Silver Sable, but he would have preferred her delivery as a corpse. Sablinovia corrects Trefkov that he doesn’t know how the Wild Pack works. With her alive, he thinks that they have something to hold over them. Dead, Sable would represent a means for vengeance. And he is confident that Silver Sable’s people loyalty knows no bounds. Trefkov understands. They mustn’t have any interference when they start a war in Bosnia, and blame it all on Hydra. They will take the fall, and the Genesis Coalition will pick up the scraps unimpaired!
Back in the sewers, Deadpool gets tackled by Daredevil. Deadpool quickly gets up again and in return kicks Daredevil away from him. Silver Sable starts attacking, but Deadpool tells her they can still call the battle a draw if she agrees to come along with her like a nice girl. He jokes that there are substantially better bucks for her alive and kicking. Sable won’t do it. She wants Deadpool to think about a way to survive his upcoming decapitation! They reach an edge. An unimpressed Deadpool throws grenades at Silver Sable, rendering her unable to see.
Deadpool wants to finish her off but, thanks to his blindness, Daredevil is unaffected by the grenades, and manages to punch Deadpool and make him fall of the edge. This makes him drop his sword and Wade panics a bit. Silver Sable recovers, and jokes if Wade feels impotent without his swords. She takes out her guns, and starts shooting at him. Now it’s her turn to speak. Wade isn’t so sure about that. He tries to take out his guns out of his utility belt, but… they are gone!
Silver Sable and Daredevil surround Wade, and give him the warning that if he should move, he’ll have a mouth full of bullets next. She wants to know who hired him. Wade touches his head, and notices that his mask is a little broken. He jokes that his masks cost money, and he won’t just tell Silver who hired him for free. Deadpool warns Wade not to push it. Silver Sable notices that this new Daredevil sounds more ruthless than the old one, and wants to know who he truly is.
Wade mentions to the heroes if they want to prevent him from escaping and killing them, they better just kill him. He mentions that the battle was pure business and nothing personal. They offered him a lot of money for Silver Sable, and Wade would sure have hated to lose that. Silver understands, and is certain that an arrangement can be made for the information.
Later, Silver Sable finally makes it back to the embassy. She informs Paladin and Jonathan that, though there was something not right about him, with the help of the “new” Daredevil, she was able to retrieve info from Deadpool. He was hired by the Genesis Coalition. He found it particular that they didn’t want her dead. And for a finale, Wade had the nerve to ask her if she was interested in working with him again. Jonathan is surprised that she said no. Silver corrects that she didn’t say anything. After all, they might never know.
She took triple Deadpool’s commission to drop the assignment and give her the privileged information. She wants a retainer put on Deadpool so he doesn’t show up on the wrong side again. Paladin jokes that Silver has got him, and that she doesn’t need Deadpool. Silver doesn’t respond, and wants Paladin to tell her what was so important that she had to call off her meeting with Foggy Nelson.
Paladin goes to sit behind a fancy desk, and mentions that he hit the jackpot. He has got Jonathan now. After a little persuasion out on a flagpole thirty stories up, he let fly that Silver’s ex-husband, the Foreigner, was behind the embezzling the whole time. It seems he wants a controlling interest in Silver Sable International.
Silver Sable won’t let that happen, and wants to send a message to their old enemy. And she also wants more aggressive action taken to locate the Genesis Coalition. It has been too long since they had a lead on her father’s whereabouts.

Part 1: Everything is Sinister
+ 10 years:Arbor Magna, or a place much like it. A man patiently waits for the eggs to hatch. They do and several versions of Scott Summers crawl out of them. With a smile, Mr. Sinister announces: “To me, my me’s.”+ null years, the present:After being captured for his crimes, Mr. Sinister is dragged into the Pit, while he curses the Quiet Council.When he is gone, Professor X announces that having that monster among them was a mistake. This has to be a new age for Krakoa. One that is distinctly less sinister!Later, alone in his quarters, he takes off the Cerebro helmet to display the red diamond on his brow.Emma Frost joins him and demands what on Earth he is doing? Admiring himself, Xavier replies. He was afraid of this, but it’s so beautiful. He feels free! It is intoxicating! It’s a shame to keep it hidden.Well, if they are doing the nudist approach to genetic tampering, she’ll join him just this once. On her forehead, a red diamond also appears. But they must keep it oh so hush-hush, she warns.Hope and Exodus, also with red diamonds on their brows, join them. Hope opines that any sign on your forehead is too easy a target. She sees it and just wants to put a great slug through it. They need to stay camouflaged until they pull the trigger. And then its head shots for the whole #%&% planet! One step at a time, my messiah, Exodus addresses her. First tomorrow, let’s put on a good show.The next day at the Quiet Council, the four play their roles. Xavier announces that, with Sinister finally gone, they can review their program. It has gone deeply awry. Nightcrawler interjects that Mystique and Destiny have disappeared. With Sinister in the Pit, this Council is looking sparse, Xavier agrees. He suspects, with those two leaving, they have grasped the nature of the new age. There is no room for unreformed villains in this room. They will fill these gaps soon enough, but understand: they need a new Krakoa, a kinder one. They need to share more with the humans, including working towards total access to immortality.Absolutely not! Emma shouts. They’ve been through this before. They must look after themselves first! The Genoshan dead are still in the soil! How can he think of diluting their effort?Charles replies, they are creatures of forever now, and must play a longer game. They will bring back Genosha… but they need not rush. It is more important to ensure they have the time to bring them back. The bigger the stake humans have in Krakoan success, the better for all of them. The dream can be real now, as they have a treasure that can overcome even their worst hate. Shaw joins in, telling Emma she knows their business friends. One taste of this, and they’ll have them hook, line and sinker. Emma seems to consider their words, musing they couldn’t do it with their current methods, but perhaps if they explored other routes…Predictably, Exodus protests. Those of faith would never compromise! Really? Hope asks, because she thinks, it’s a damn good idea. Exodus harumphes and states, let them see how the council feels.For once, they all agree. Storm points out, though, she is worried about the practicalities. Can they do this? Kate agrees. They need to increase the resurrection rate and find a way to harvest everyone’s brain patterns. Is it an opt-in thing? Will someone make a spreadsheet or…Xavier believes they can work out something more elegant. Forge, perhaps, has the skills to pick up where Sinister left off. Emma adds her Cuckoos can handle the load of taking human minds. Forge playing understudy for Sinister and the Cuckoos acting as glorified clerks? Kate snarks. Doesn’t sound like something they’d be interested in. Emma smiles, she is sure she and Charles can change their minds…One year later:A frazzled looking Ben Urich stands in the streets of Manhattan, seeing huge ads for the genetic treatment. He enters a building for a secret meeting with J. Jonah Jameson. Urich thanks Jameson for agreeing to this meeting and apologizes for his appearance. He has been working on this too much. Jameson shouts at him, asking if he has gotten confused. He reports on superheroes. He doesn’t fight them. He looks like he has done ten rounds with all of society’s menaces. Has he? Give him the exclusive and he will pay Ben top dollar!Ben shushes him as he opens his bag. Inside, there is a gun with a hypodermic. He presses a small device and there is a buzzing sound. Jameson asks if this is one of those devices that scare away teenagers. Should he able to hear it? He always thought he had youthful ears. Ben replies it is an anti-surveillance device. He got it from… He breaks off, not wanting to name his contact. He takes out the hypodermic gun. Despite Jameson’s protest, he injects him to find out whether he can be trusted and hasn’t been compromised.That hurt! Jonah bellows angrily and Ben is relieved he is still himself. Jonah puts his hand on Ben’s shoulder. He has him scared. What is going on? Ben replies, having this limited X-gene implanted to guarantee immortality… it’s got a Trojan Horse. He looks outside as he continues that there is some kind of a para-personality. If you have the gene, you can be taken over by it any time. Even if it doesn’t take over, it warps you, pushes your worst impulses. Now think of the number of politicians who have had it done already and think about what that means.Jonah asks if he has evidence. This sounds more like the sort of opinion that emerges from underneath a tinfoil hat than a real journalist. Of course, he does! Ben replies. And even without the X-gene, they have their telepaths at work! They are taking over the world with a smile on their faces. They are offering humanity a velvet glove and it hides an iron gauntlet wrapped around humanity’s throat!He is shocked, Jonah announces. Shocked that Ben believes the test would actually reveal the genetic tampering.Ben turns around. Jameson displays the red diamond on his forehead, and a group of more people with red diamonds enters the room. While they grab Ben, Jonah (or rather the Sinister para-personality) explains they developed the test to lure out paranoid yet correct folks like Ben. But good work! Ben goes out with his head held high! He was correct. “A mutant gene for everyone and everyone for me!”On Krakoa, Emma, Xavier, Hope and Exodus have joined Forge, who now also displays a red diamond. He is putting the finishing touches on an orbital cannon. What’s the deniability? Emma inquires. Can this be traced to them? What does he look like? Forge scoffs, an amateur like Mr. Sinister? When he makes it, it does what he says it does. Nothing less, and possibly a whole lot more! Pull the trigger and they’ll reduce Krakoa to a drooling vegetable!And it was always such a smart vegetable, Emma snarks. What a shame. They’ll take the opportunity to take out little Doug. She sends Beast the telepathic signal.Holding the button, Forge asks who wants to take out Krakoa. Hope immediately volunteers. What girl doesn’t want to head-shot an island from orbit? she asks and pushes the button with a grin and lobotomizes the island.Cypher tries to communicate with Krakoa and even as he realizes what is going on, Wolverine impales him from behind.A little later, Emma speaks to humanity with the grim message that Orchis has attacked them with an EMC attack. It killed their living island and wiped all psi-imprints. They have a mystical method to retrieve mutant ones, but all human ones are lost forever. They grieve alongside humanity for the loss of the ones they thought saved. They will be acting against Orchis immediately and hope humanity will join them.And indeed, the Avengers and Fantastic Four join the large-scale attack. Moira shouts at Nimrod to save himself. Nimrod, who has just killed Namor, refuses. They are the future! The three tech geniuses Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic and Forge hit him with a virus that leaves him paralyzed long enough for Thor to destroy him. After finishing Orchis, Cap just wishes people had seen them sooner for what they are. Cyclops replies that Orchis’ propaganda confused a lot. Their elective X-gene is the safest way to ensure the minds are saved, but prejudice is hard to overcome. Maybe this disaster will encourage more to take the gene. Actually, he turns to Cap, after today, they are all honorary X-Men. What does he think about the gene that goes along with it? Captain America… mutant? Cap considers it: it would be a hell of a statement… He assures Cyclops they are in this together.A little later, on Krakoa, watched by Xavier, Emma, Exodus and Hope, Forge frees Mr. Sinister from the Pit.With a broad grin, he announces he is back… though it is like he’s never been away. Xavier informs him the plan has progressed. Krakoa is dead, Earth is compromised. None will know he has been released from the Pit. Excellent, now he can watch the show closer up. He tells them to keep up the good work, and teleports away to his secret lab hidden beneath Muir Isle.There are, of course, technical reasons for hiding his Moira lab beneath her old stomping grounds but, mainly, it’s funny. He finds his now dead lab assistants and orders the machines to give him a new Cy-cat and Professor Plod. And let’s peruse the data, he decides. He sits down and goes through his masterplan. When he allowed Xavier and Magneto to use his gene library, of course he had manipulated the DNA. He added a copy of himself and some spice in every DNA sample so skillfully that none of the other scientists found out. Anybody brought back from the dead would be compromised! He grins broadly. Except it didn’t work! he sulks.The plan was always to reach Dominion status before the AIs do. To that end, he compromised the DNA database allowing him to take over or warp the will of any Krakoan mutant…The plan was to take over Earth, use the full creative power of mutantdom to find the quickest way to Dominion status. The most obvious method, mass psychic sacrifice of a huge population, is simply too slow. Instead explore novel powersets and the true potential of mutantkind, shorn of ethics. Reset the timeline to speed up the process, ascend this stinking reality to become something more than a god. Gloat.It took a lot of Moira resets to work out the problem was Hope. Whatever her weird gift is, during resurrection she was fixing his meddling without even realizing it. He had to compromise her to compromise the whole thing. But killing just her was too suspicious. He needed a critical mass off the council, and himself as well to allow the plan to go into motion. He’s been beaten by the X-Men so many times: but now the X-Men are his. He is the X-Men. Now, popcorn, funtime, let’s see what he can discover. Commence his five-year-plan of /&*%$ around!And many things happen in those years:Increasingly suspicious of Krakoa, Dr. Doom tries to persuade Namor into an alliance, unaware that Namor has already been compromised after a boudoir murder by Emma Frost. Namor kills Doom, who is replaced by a clone who, despite spouting anti-Krakoa rhetoric, secretly works with the mutants. A sole Doombot is rumored to work with Orchis.Prompted by fake rumors of another Eternal attack, Krakoa and Arakko go to war against the Eternals. The Arakkii release Uranos the Undying for an hour and he acts as a powerful vengeful ally. The Eternals are defeated, then stored peacefully in stasis engines positioned in deep space. Uranos sits alone forever in his cell, caked in the blood of his family. He smiles.Reed Richards is considered too dangerous and, after previous tampering, probably immune to further tampering. Instead, Ben Grimm is compromised. A Mystique gene allows him to return to his human form. However, after the Sinister gene has done its work, he wants for the other FF to die as he has lived – as Things. A mission through cosmic rays is arranged. It is believed Grimm choked his dying once friend as they disappeared into the void.Compromised by the Sinister gene, the Avengers are pushed into more dangerous, antisocial behavior, culminating in Captain America taking control of the US government after murdering the president. Thankfully, the X-Men are there to save the day. At the end of the Avengers / X-Men war, the X-Men are declared Earth’s mightiest heroes.5 years later:A Quiet Council meeting:Namor, Beast and Magik have replaced the fallen or missing members.Storm announces she has a matter she needs to broach. She has become increasingly disillusioned with their work. Xavier asks her to be more specific. She could, but they’d be here all day discussing questionable omens. She’s heard all the Spirits of Vengeance have left Earth. The Arakkii’s mystics say they are petrified. However, let’s concentrate on one thing she’s discovered. She points at the inanely smiling Nightcrawler and announces he is an impostor. Where is Kurt? she demands.She wins, comes a voice from behind her. Here he is. It is Mr. Sinister, leading the real, by now completely monstrous and no longer intelligent, Kurt on a leash. He’s got something deeply wonky going on with his genes, Sinister states. He can’t quite fix the problem yet but, if she wants him on the Council instead of the nice, automated hand-raising furry sack he cooked up, it’s up to her.Storm stammers then shouts this is an abomination! She’s got him there, he shrugs, or rather, she’s got them. All the Council members rise, all of them displaying their red diamonds. Sinister tuts that she has always made things hard. Erasing herself from the resurrection protocols meant they couldn’t just kill her and bring her aboard. Psychic meddling is risky, but she leaves them no other option. Emma and Xavier use their powers on her, as Xavier corrects, he prefers the term “teaching.”Flashback:Before the Council session, Storm talked to Lactuca. She told her she feared the worst and asked Lactuca to act, should they tamper with her mind. Lactuca replied she would sew the defense into a phrase. Speak it and Storm’s mind will be linked to Lactuca’s infinite one. The attacker will be pushed away. You cannot hold the ocean between your fingers.Present:Storm speaks “You make sure.”A thunderstorm erupts, blowing them all to the ground, except for Sinister. Abominations! Storm pronounces and flies away. Said as if that’s a bad thing, Sinister mutters.Storm lands in Peru. Very well, war, she announces. No, not yet, comes a voice. Destiny and Mystique are expecting her. Destiny warns, they will lose unless they are smarter. They will lose, unless… they must be on the same side.Back at the Council, Sinister announces this accelerates their plans, but only slightly. And besides, he was bored of lurking in the shadows. This isn’t the 90ies. If her high and Martian mighty is gone, there is a free seat on the Council. Who thinks he should take it? Vote! All surviving members raise their hands.Sebatian Shaw becomes emissary to the various hells. He is killed every time he is required to visit. To get a seat on the Infernal Parliament, he was required to own a hell. Suffice to say, the Waiting Room is no longer a paradise…Thor had left the Avengers when they turned to evil. Shaw made a deal with Muspelheim to get the Twilight Sword. It and a kick from Magik are enough for Asgard to be propelled away from Midgard, eternally lost.Scarlet Witch gets killed, just in case.The former school is turned into Sinister’s lab, where he creates his first chimeras splicing two x-genes into one body. The pollution will soon be enough for life expectations across the seaboard to tumble.Storm is believed to be hiding on Arakko. Attempts to get her fail.An invasion of Arakko with stage two chimeras allows an insertion of a Legion clone in the planet’s core The planet is destroyed and the ensuing asteroid belt is immediately prioritized for exploitation. Storm’s fate remains unknown.10 years later:Mr. Sinister walks through what used to be Manhattan. Ads for X-gene insertion are everywhere. What’s wrong with you all? a man shouts. It is Foggy Nelson. He is standing in front of several Wanted posters of Storm. He shouts there is a lab in Westchester the size of a small city and it is poisoning them! The east coast is going to be uninhabitable. Another five years and they… The crowd boos and jeers at him and suddenly a Spider-Man / Nightcrawler chimera called Night Legion webs him up and takes him along.Sinister speaks to himself that they are not mind-controlled. They are queuing up to get mind-controlled… and don’t care. He has a low opinion of humanity, but this is really something. How can he not think he is better than everyone?The Grove:Another meeting of the Quiet Council, which has agreed that their hold on the world is secure, so they need no longer hide the red diamond. Time to strut their new look, Emma announces. Diamonds are always in fashion.Hope interrupts, there is another problem. Remains of Orchis are out there agitating. Hitting Mars didn’t get Storm. Last she heard from her dad is that space is all riled up. The grand empires of the galaxy will be coming for them sooner or later. Unless Krakoa goes for them. Sinister announces they shouldn’t worry about that. They should throw all their efforts into science. They’ve got a lot of work to be getting on with. Yes, he finally managed to get Kurt’s genes working, but he’d like to know how he actually managed to. They’ll work out what to do, if the aliens come for them.Emma suggests a vote: who wants to prepare for a little space war? Sinister loses.As the others leave, Xavier asks if Sinister is surprised. A little, he replies. He thought they had more loyalty. Does he? Emma retorts. Touché, Sinister admits. They’ve been meddling with his work, he accuses his four original victims, Xavier, Emma, Hope and Exodus. A little, Xavier admits. They should have more leeway than the masses. They are the Quiet Council of Sinisters and they should rule together. He still believes in the dream. If everyone thought like him, there would be no war. Assimilation to the dream is essential.Emma announces, they must think of the children… and compared to them they are all toddlers, running around with runny noses and damp diapers.Exodus announces that the stars in the firmament were once thought angels. They know that is not true… but they are still their property, and a crusade can reclaim them for mutantkind. Hope tells Sinister not to look glum, but he brought a messiah on the team. She is meant to save everybody. And if she saves everyone, she has to save them from themselves, right?Xavier touches his shoulder: they have their differences, but as Sinisters they stand together. Everything is sinister doesn’t mean everything is the same. They can all work together… assuming they can all prove themselves useful. Sinister forces himself to smile and agrees. A toast to this new age!Walking the pathway to the portal that leads to his secret lab, he announces that can go to hell. He needed their personalities, but he gave them too long a leash. He was hoping to get a nice, big blob of reach from the first Moira run before the planet got crushed by the inevitable pissed-off aliens. And perhaps hunted down those errant knock-off Essex clones… but he did get distracted. Oh well. Still, he leaned a lot. Much better than most first Moira runs. Let’s sweep the board clear and start again. A computer voice informs him that the teleporter is inoperative and he swears.He finally reaches Muir Isle by conventional means and now uses an Avalanche system to get to the underground lab. He orders the system to activate the frequency to get through the Unus field that surrounds the lab, but instead he lands hard on the ground - no forcefield. No lab either.Someone has stolen his lab. Someone has stolen his Moiras! He realizes he is trapped in this timeline…

Part 11: Deadly Sins
1,000 years later, the Storm System, hovering next to the corpse of Galactus:The Storm System is burning, everyone is dead. Is that what he wanted? Moira X asks Mr. Sinister, the other survivor from a hiding place. No, he replies seriously, that it’s a hell of his making doesn’t make it less of a hell. And speaking of hell, where the hell is she? he curses outside the vault. With all eyes on him, they lost track of her.She tells him not to panic. She can’t get in his lab yet - it’s sealed. The Arakkii aren’t letting anyone in. She’s not sure they could if they wanted to. Any luck in changing Ironfire’s mind about that? He replies that, alas, he changed Ironfire’s mind by pushing it out of his skull. He could get in himself if he had a bit more time, the one thing he doesn’t have. C’mon, c’mon! he mutters. Emma’s fashionably dead, but McCoy will be making a play soon… Oh Irene, where is it?What does he mean? Moira asks. He explains Destiny’s message hinted she’d arranged a way into his sealed-off lab. Moira tells him the Marauder has picked up something coming their way. He gets an image: it is the Juggernaut. Long ago, they fired him from a rail gun to kill Thanos. He must have been constantly building momentum… He recalls that they found Thanos’ exact position because of a recognizant. Confirmed it but never knew who had the original vision. A blind lead. Blind! he chuckles. Maybe they should be on the same side, he finally admits, then warns Moira to brace for impact.The Juggernaut collides with the forcefield. Moira announces there is an entrance now. She is going in! Sinister orders her to wait. He has plans to upload. She isn’t interested. Someone has to reset the universe!Suddenly, Sinister is impaled by a blade from behind courtesy of Ironfire. How did he survive? Sinister gasps. He can turn his blood to metal, Ironfire retorts. And, before a battle like this, he makes sure to give his bones a little coating. His blood is useful. Sinister’s blood? He draws him close. All it’s doing is keeping him alive. That’s no good at all!Sinister shouts for Moira. His plans! She ignores him and Ironfire tells him any plans he has that don’t involve dying are over.Somewhere on the Red Queen’s flagship, Beast has made himself comfortable on Emma’s throne. One of the Cuckoos peevishly warns him that the empress will not appreciate him sitting on the throne. And she will definitely not appreciate him molting all over it. Probably, he shrugs, but Mother Emma is now invulnerable, unstoppable, sentient, diamond dust, so her opinions don’t really matter much… Perhaps it is for the best, having the Beast rather than the beauty in charge in these fateful hours. That projectile’s opened the way to the Moiras. The best part of their forces are tied up with Galactus, which he thinks is a distraction. He decides they can deploy the Namornauts to retrieve the Moiras, but they need their own distraction too, and for that they need an alliance!He orders the Cuckoos to dismantle the Quiet Council psychic barricades. One of the Cuckoos warns of the risk. There can be no conversation with him, only assimilation! But he dismisses her advice, besting he was trained to resist Charles a long time ago. He knows the risk.The frontline of the 47th enforced Serenity War:Powered by a crowd of meditating psychics, Xavier is contacted by Beast. He reads Hank’s mind. When he learns about the Moira clone, he stops grinning and decides he has to take over. He uses Beast as a conduit to psychically project through, as he orders his dreamers to convene on him, turning him into what seems to be a sentient globe which attacks the Storm System.Inside, the tremors momentarily let Sinister slip from Ironfire’s grasp. With their psychics gone, Ironfire realizes they are in trouble from Xavier’s psychic assault. He has his own defenses, Sinister mocks. Ironfire is in trouble! He did have an omega psychic, Sinister muses. She could have protected him. She’s dead now. “Regrets, I’ve had a few,” etcetera.Nothing can stop an idea, Ironfire quotes Xavier. He knows one thing: He makes a cut on his forehead. As he is the leader of the Brotherhood, he should look the part! He creates a Magneto helmet from his blood.Good trick, Sinister admits. Ironfire is very interesting. He wishes they had more time to get acquainted. Agree to disagree, is Ironfire’s reply as he creates a blade, ready to kill Sinister. Sinister pleads he can help him stop Xavier! Grabbing him by the lapel, Ironfire demands what he means. Sinister points out that his fine Magneto tribute hat is one thing but he can’t fight Xavier as he is. He needs more power, and as his blood is power, he needs more blood, and blood is ninety percent water. He produces a syringe and explains a dose of Bobby Drake will get him all the chilled water he needs… if he lets him go.He forestalls any foul play by adding he can see Ironfire thinking that maybe he is quick enough to take it and smart enough to activate it himself. And he knows if he lets Sinister go, he will run off to try and reset the universe. But maybe someone will stop him. He is one man. He can be stopped. Charles isn’t. If he gets the Moiras, it’s game over for everyone. Sure, the universe will exist but it will be Charles’s universe. With the Moiras, he will be unstoppable. If Ironfire doesn’t stop him, they will all be forever trapped in his sick dream.Ironfire swears as he realizes Sinister is right. He lets him go in exchange for the vial and vows he is going to kill him. He uses the vial to create a bloodarmor around himself, then flies to attack the sentient globe surrounding Xavier. Erik? Charles asks when he sees the helmet. Nah, Ironfire replies as he rushes through the globe, but Charles should know – he was right!Sinister runs through the corridors. “Kill him?” he repeats Ironfire’s threat. Join the queue! Today, everyone is going to die!He reaches the lab to see the forcefield around it has broken. Barely interested, he notices lots of old bones from the Nightkin on the ground around it. He wonders what happened, but then gets angry when he sees Moira X standing in front of his lab. He fires his gun at her and orders her to get away from his Moiras. Furious, she grabs a gun and shouts he turned her into a machine! She turned herself into a machine, Sinister replies cruelly (but not incorrectly).Seeing the bodies of Banshee and Mother Righteous, he asks why Mother Righteous is bleeding over his nice clean floor. Moira aims her gun. She broke in with a scheme…, Moira replies, but her stooges turned on her. She had a plan and it went all wrong. That’s nice, he replies. She was so smug.Smug with a plan that went wrong? Moira points out his hypocrisy. With the heart on her forehead, she did remind Moira of someone… Touché, he admits. Now, let him upload his… Hell no! Moira shouts and fires at him under cover. He shouts he needs to upload his files, then they can reset-- Moira refuses to let him learn from this. He turned her into a glorified harddrive!To be glorified is by definition a glorious thing, he shouts. He also pleads that, if he doesn’t send the intel back, it will happen again. A one thousand year rerun. Plus, every second they stay here and prove how witty they are, they risk Xavier getting hold of them and trapping them in his heaven.They both feel a psychic shockwave and he warns, this is Ironfire going down in his fight against Xavier. After a little break for a hypocritical speech about his dream, Xavier will be on his way. Failing that, Emma’s Namornauts will be scurrying here.This is the least-worst option. Take it!Moira is convinced but warns him he will pay for this. She orders him to demolish this abomination the moment he gets home. She tells him to hurry while she fends off the arriving Namornauts.At the computer, Sinister sees a thousand years’ of uploaded data. With the upload complete, Moira tells him to start the engine. He hesitates. He could do it. This universe taught him a lot. He has seen exactly how badly things can go astray. His best intentions simply aren’t… perhaps he should change.… or maybe he could become a god!A mutant circuit consisting of enough mutants could do anything. All the mutants with his modified X-gene carry the Inferno failsafe, that can clear up any experiment that runs out of control, or if there is a sufficient number of Sinister-mutants (which now there is), he can effectively harvest the psychic essences and use them to push himself outside of this reality to a state normally reserved for AI gods or in other words Dominionhood.Moira is horrified but is busy fending off the Namornauts.Not god god, he corrects himself A better god. A scientific god! His psychic Inferno failsafe is still there and the controls are here in the lab. It will kill every person in the universe with his modified X-gene and use them as fuel. He tells Moira not to look so horrified. They were going to wipe this dimension anyway. One final trick before last calls. He pushes the lever.And everyone across the universe with an X-gene and the Sinister strain burns: The Namorauts, Xavier, his Lotus Eaters: the remnants of the Nightkin burn. Wagnerine and her child do not burn.The Exodus clones burn, the Madroxes burn, in his hell Sebastian Shaw burns. Standing tall, Jon Ironfire does not burn.Every death is a step out of reality, from which Sinister’s mind now ascends. He gloats as he feels becoming more than a god, becoming a Dominion. He rises and leaves time behind and suddenly finds himself stopped by a wall. The space filled by another Dominion. What is it? he demands and is told it is the being that is harvesting the powers Sinister stole. Whatever is Sinister’s is its now. It is a being of infinite perspective and knowledge. It could tell him everything! Instead, it will share a single fact: “Who am I? Not you.”With that devastating reply, Sinister is sent back to his body in the lab. He is too late! he rambles. A Sinister Dominion exists already outside time and space! It happened in an earlier timeline. And as it is outside time and space it can act across all timelines! It’s too late! It isn’t him!He and Moira are joined by Ironfire. He killed a galaxy, he accuses Sinister. He did, Sinister admits. For nothing. One of the others does it. Stasis, Mother, Orbis. Not him. Kill her, kill Sinister, kill himself. Nothing matters anymore!Raising his blade, Ironfire replies that he is wrong. Death always matters! He decapitates Sinister.A thousand years and he learned nothing! Ironfire states, disgusted. He learned that he is nothing, Moira corrects him cynically. Let’s hope he remembers that. She fires her gun at the primed Moira engine and a universe ends.The death of Moira VII.1Length of timeline: 1000 yearsPeak mutant population: 8,662,221,825,176,193.Mutant casualties in psychic inferno: 8,662,221,825,176,190.Dominion ascension attempt:1Successful ascension attempt: 0The present: Sinister’s secret lab:Moira VII.2: year 0:Hunted by the X-Men and the rest of the Quiet Council after having murdered Hope, Xavier, Exodus and Frost Sinister is priming the next Moira version for a safe point. He’d hoped for more, but he can handle the situation. He is not going back to bloody Judgment Day!The computer tells him the clone is activated and there is one upload. He grins in anticipation, when he sees it is a large file covering a thousand years, and asks for a download.What he gets is an unexpected detonation and a message from Moira X from 1,000 years in the future:She tells him how she found his lab and watched the end of his rival’s – Mother Righteous – scheme. She was going to insert a mythic virus into his machine. She’d spent a thousand years finding the tools she needed to do it. She failed at the last second – stabbed in the back and the throat. She needed to sacrifice a specific soul to finish. She had prepared one to do the job. “A radiant soul saturated in the purifying faith of fanatics without number.”And Moira looked at her dying and thought of all the awful things she had done and the church she had built around herself and realized that the description applied to Mother Righteous as well. So, she fed her into the heart and corrupted the machine. Future Sinister interrupted het before she could reset the timeline, but Moira is glad she failed, because she saw something he just has to know: Sinister made an attempt to ascend to Dominionhood and failed. The last thing before burning the timeline was having the machine take a reading of his mind.Sinister looks horrified and with empty eyes as he hears his dreams shatter. The message continues that his future version had realized something profound. This is all he is going to learn from that future and Moira stresses that this is her story. And his story is over.The other Moira clones detonate and Sinister finds reality still exists, meaning the virus neutralized their X-genes before killing them. He finds the files are uploading by themselves and the machine speed-grows what seem to be another clone with an unknown designation, RPIV. He wonders what that is about.The answer comes a moment later, when a naked and very angry Rasputin IV cuts her way free with her soulsword.She introduces herself and announces he is wanted for the murder of mutantkind. He will pay for his crime!In her Sanctum Malefica, Mother Righteous is reading one of her journals. When she looks up, she sees a door which is ajar. The door is new. She peeks behind she finds a new wing full of more books. Who does she have to thank for this little gift? She looks to find the same name on all the book spines. “Why, thank you, Mother Righteous,” she smirks.On Krakoa, the surviving members of the Quiet Council are hunting for Sinister. Kate Pryde orders they have to keep the murder quiet as they can. Shaw fears they are too late. People know there is trouble. Them being coated with blood carries a lot of subtext. Jean can give them a telekinetic shower, Kate grimly replies but agrees they should inform the X-Men and X-Force. Get a message to Storm and get her back here. Nightcrawler suggests, informing Dr. Nemesis to see if they can get Hope back and her father, Cable, of course. Kate agrees.Destiny suddenly moans and they ask what’s wrong. The future, she replies. There’s more of it!That moment, Rasputin IV steps out of the gateway carrying her prisoner. By the gene sacristies of Hope herself, it’s real! she marvels and breaks out into a smile. Krakoa is real!Kate greets her with a smile. She doesn’t know who she is. but she is loving the whole look. The Sinister accessory is fire. Who is she?Rasputin introduces herself as being from the future. She came from a thousand years in the future to make sure this criminal does not escape his crimes. They are numberless and he must be punished for every single one! Oh, this is one of those, Kate replies knowingly. If she wants justice, she thinks they can do that.Several resurrections later, the whole Council (as well as Rasputin and her prisoner) are gathered in the Grove. Xavier announces, sadly, he supposes it would have always come to this. Does Sinister have anything to say for himself?Sinister begs them not to do this. It would be a huge mistake! Too late, Emma sniffs. He tried to murder her. Into the Hole, snap-snap!Krakoa’s vines already reach for him from the ground. Sinister rambles, they don’t understand. He doesn’t matter! He isn’t the threat! He’s not the one they need to be afraid of! It’s the other Sinisters, not him! He is nothing!As he is dragged down, he continues screaming that one of them succeeds. There is a Sinister Dominion outside time and space! A stain on existence! It’s already there! They’ve already won! Oh god, it’s too late! He reaches out to Destiny, begging her to stop them. It’s down to her now! But it’s already happened, so it’s too late and… He begs her to find a way. On the same side, remember? He knows she understands! Only she understands! With only his head above ground, he begs them not to do this. He is not even a crumb between the teeth of god! He is nothing! No… He is gone.Emma muses that his panic seemed particularly convincing. Rasputin replies that he lied to her for nine hundred years and suggests they not believe anything he says. Destiny quickly agrees. He is trying to throw suspicion at her. Active malice on the way out is certainly in character. So, she doesn’t know what he is talking about? Nightcrawler demands. She doesn’t know specifically what he is talking about, Irene amends.Kate asks Rasputin to fil them in about their latest dark future. How did she come to be their savior? Rasputin corrects her: she is but a soldier, not a savior. With a smile, she introduces their real savior and Mother Righteous walks down the stairs, claiming this is all news to her as well. She introduces herself as a humble little wizard lady. She was having a nice cuppa when suddenly she got a download from the future. Seems that Mr. Sinister fella has been cloning Moiras. He stores data about the timeline in her noggin, then kills her to reset to the past. The past him pulls out the facts he needs and then tries again.The council members are horrified at that revelation, except for Destiny who agrees and claims she was trying to find a way to stop him while not giving away that she knew. Xavier is distrustful but decides to pick that up later. He asks Mother Righteous to continue.She narrates how Sinister took over the world and lost his Moira engines. The galaxy went mad for a thousand years. Sinisters everywhere. Apparently, her future self learned about what was going on and managed to find the Moiras before him and uploaded a virus. When it was turned on, it made the Moiras lose their X-twinkle and sent their stories to Mother Righteous… and also cloned tall and shiny here, to make sure he didn’t leg it. Three cheers for magic. Pip pip!This is all mindboggling! Kurt bursts out. How did she do it? Humbly, she claims she had some help. Pulling together to save the universe seemed the right thing to do; it’s in her name after all.Most illuminating, Xavier remarks and asks her to leave, so the council can discuss this. She interrupts, stating there is one more bit of bad news. She hasn’t said how Sinister pulled off the world-conquering bit. By offing the redhead, he managed to get some clever gene-malarky up and working. He’s got a copy of himself in the four he killed. He can take them over. He can warp them. They may not even know it. She grins sheepishly and adds, he really is a rotter.With her gone, the Quiet Council discuss the situation Emma jokes, he would have her wearing black, and that cannot be borne. Xavier tells her to be serious and asks if they can believe this. Shaw points out, while he doesn’t trust Mother Righteous, they do owe her. He volunteers for checking her bonafides. He has certain contacts in the magical world. “Hellfire” has connotations and some of them are quite literal.That’s something, Storm agrees but stresses they must all be very careful. They can’t have anyone who may be compromised in power. Xavier disagrees. That’s not nearly sufficient!A little later, they call Mother Righteous back. Xavier, Emma, Hope and Exodus stand in the center of the Grove. She asks what the plan is. Xavier explains that, as long as they carry Sinister’s influence, they must be held safely. No matter how unpleasant it is, the Pit is their safest place.Storm tells Mother Righteous she has done Krakoa a great service. How can they repay the debt? Don’t mind her, Mother Righteous simpers. A ‘thank you’ would do her. Storm thanks her in the name of every mutant on the island, while Krakoa’s vines drag the four into the Pit.
