Summary

  Joseph recognizes Nanny, who thinks he's Magneto. Beyond her there are monsters, and since Nanny can suppress mutant powers (iss. 113), the X-Men are her captives. Trish observes from a distance, then runs to find Hank. (Note: Magneto's base is located on the Filchner Ice Shelf, Weddell Sea, Antarctica.)

  Deathbird has Bishop in restraints. She claims the X-Men are dead and he is wounded, and she wants him as her partner in ruling the universe.

  With Rogue's powers negated, old stolen memories bubble up, and she yells maniacally at Remy, who she says was working for Essex. (When did Rogue touch Sabretooth?)

  Joseph tells Nanny he's Magneto and orders her to release him, but she says his rules are that no mutant leaves, ever. She shows him video of OZT. When he sees Moira's face, he feels an inexplicable need for vengeance.

  Warren and Betsy return to Soho (see Psylocke & Angel: Crimson Dawn). They find leftover ice and bullet shells (X-Men II:67), and then Betsy disappears.

  Hank realizes he's in Magneto's base, which was destroyed by lava, and that their ship didn't crash there by accident.

  Remy tries to force Spat to say who hired her to catch him, but she just calls him a lowlife. Rogue channels Remy's memories (X-Men II:41) and asks him to explain them. He begs her not to ask and to let him make everything right again, then points out that since her powers are off, they can have a night together.
