| Comic Summary |
Having entered through the strange portal they found, the Clan Destine ended up in the X-Men’s Danger Room and soon a full-fledged battle rages until Rory and Pandora stop it. The X-Men and the Clan compare notes, realizing that both of them are missing team members due to that portal and decide to work together. Hex, however, acts strangely, causing Wolverine to flip and gut him, which in turn causes Walter to go ballistic and injure Wolverine. Walter is restrained and Hex and Wolverine are brought to Dr. MacTaggert into the infirmary, where Newton assists. The Clan members find in turn that the X-Men are doing their best to separate them. Elsewhere, Xavier Colossus, Cuckoo, Adam and Gracie find themselves on what seems to be Synraith’s homeworld. Gracie reveals how as a youngster she tried to stop Cortez’s slaughter of the Aztecs and inadvertently bound herself to the demon Synraith. Since then, stopping Synraith has been her burden, shared only by Cuckoo. Apparently, they are to witness the demon’s return to Earth. The three telepaths decide to fight Synraith, drawing him to this side of the portal and keep him here. In the Danger Room, the Clan members have realize that the increasingly erratic behaviour of the X-Men is meant to keep them apart and they begin to fight again. Colossus tries to attack Synraith to help the telepaths and fails, seemingly being horribly injured, but he manages to throw the indestructible Adam at the demon and the portal. Adam finds himself thrown through the Danger Room and lands in front of Wolverine, Storm, Forge and the original five. Wolverine recognizes Adam as an old friend whereas Cyclops considers him a threat. Wolverine attacks him and it is revealed that all the X-Men save for Wolverine, Forge and Storm are danger room drones controlled by Synraith. Synraith sends more drones at them, but Storm manages to disrupt the systems by throwing a focused lightning bolt. The illusion passes an all the X-Men and Clan members including the ones seemingly on Synraith’s world are actually in the Danger Room. In fact, the telepaths had been drawing Synraith towards Earth rather than stopping him. Armed with that knowledge, they capture the demon in the portal till it collapses and he is destroyed. Later, good-byes are said and Adam doubts that he and his family will be seen again. Wolverine hopes he’s wrong. |
