Summary

  On a volcanic island in the South Pacific, twenty men lay hands on Omega Red. They die; he rises. Technicians say the mutant death factor is under control, but then they are also killed. Matsu'o shows Omega Red a photo of Logan, his old enemy.

  Logan, Remy, Jubilee, and Rogue are playing basketball. Remy wins, too easily, and Rogue thinks he's cheating. They quarrel; Logan ruins the basket, and Remy charges the ball. He hits Rogue with it, then tries to kiss her, so she pushes him away.

  Moira has a nightmare: her son falls off a cliff. She tries to save him, but he turns into Magneto, and dark forces grab her. Sean goes to her; Xavier mindlinks them (his broken jaw is wired shut). She is distraught over her failure, and they try to convince her to stay among friends, but she decides to go, leaving Sean behind.

  In Berlin, Matsu'o plots with Fenris, who want to become Upstart Dominant and thereby immortal.

  Remy takes Rogue out to a restaurant for their first official date: her in a gown, riding on the back of his motorcycle. Hank (for whom Forge has recreated an image inducer), Logan, and Jubilee tag along in a jeep. Remy tries to lose them; a wire is stretched across the road and hits Rogue in the neck. Gunmen destroy Remy's bike, then attack the jeep, which crashes. The X-Men try to fight back; Omega Red knocks out all but Logan, whom he strangles in his tentacles. Thugs masquerading as ambulance drivers bundle the other X-Men up, as Moira rides past in a cab.
