Summary

  In Manhattan, Betsy uses her TK to fly alongside Warren. They returned to his penthouse for a romantic evening, but then there is an explosion. Betsy instintively erects a TK bubble and propels them both to the ground: they land in Jersey, where their attempted assassins, the Twisted Sisters, try again.

  Coil catches Warren, so Betsy fights the rest alone, finally felled when Helix's shoots her feathers at her. Just then, reinforcements arrive, alerted by Cerebro.

  Kelly is in Chicago, running for president and making noises about the mutant menace. Mystique observes and sees that Nathan is one of his aides. She is impersonating Moira to get access to Destiny's diaries, and she plans to let nothing stop her.

  The X-Men fight the Twisted Sisters, but they show effective teamwork, and Helix adapts new powers as needed. They scratch Piotr with acid, wrap Logan in webbing, and collapse a building on all of them. Betsy's TK holds, but the nearby dam doesn't, and the Hudson River comes pouring in.

  The X-Men capture the villains, and Betsy rebuilds the dam. Perry is furious that the mutants fought on his property, but Warren explains to the police that they rescued him from an assassination attempt and offers to reimburse the damages.

  A mysterious someone (perhaps Stryfe, see 2000 Ann.) gloats that Betsy no longer has telepathy and doesn't realize the hit was on her.
