| Comic Summary: |
On Utopia, Rogue is having a tough time deciding whether to remain on the island with Cyclops’s faction, or go to Westchester with Wolverine and his followers. Both Gambit and Magneto try to offer Rogue their thoughts, but each has already decided their path - Gambit is going, Magneto is staying. When Magneto lets Rogue touch him, to find out his perspective on things, Rogue detects another presence inside his mind. Havok confronts Cyclops about the separation of the X-Men, and urges him to talk about this with Wolverine, but Cyclops tells him that this is the only way. Soon, Rogue, Magneto, Gambit, Havok, Polaris, Frenzy, Marvel Girl and Korvus, the eight who have returned from space, meet with Cyclops and the X-Club, as Rogue reports what she detected in Magneto’s mind. The eight undergo a series of tests, but they all come back negative - except for Korvus’s sword. The X-Club discuss the sword, and given its heritage with the Phoenix, consider the possibility of Jean Grey returning. But they are still unsure about how to proceed. Blindfold examines the sword and detects that it is a doorway, and someone is on the other side of it. The White Queen links to Blindfold, and confirms this, seeing someone surrounded by fire, that death was spat out of the sky, that it wasn’t her fault, and something is going to be ruined. The White Queen learns that whoever this mutant is, she started to die, but got confused and turned around, and only made it about halfway. Rogue suggests that she absorb the piece of the mutant from each of the eight who returned from space, and Cyclops agrees, but not without Doctor Nemesis constructing some sort of containment field, in case the mutant is dangerous. Frenzy reveals to Rogue that she has made the decision to go to Westchester, for if she remains here, she will fall into bad habits. With the containment barricade created, the group meets once more, and Rogue absorbs the energy of this mutant from the others. When she touches Korvus’s sword, a door opens, and Rogue realizes who the mutant is. Cyclops wants more information, but Rogue enters the door, telling Cyclops inside is a friend who died by fire. Through the door, Rogue finds a distraught Ariel! (Brief description courtesy of uncannyxmen.net) |
