Summary

  Note: this happens after Uncanny X-Men 388.

  Flashback: bullies in a pickup chase Rogue, a young girl. She runs square into Cable's chest: the early Cable. He carries an enormous gun but uses his TK to stop the boys. He wants to take her away, but Professor says he shouldn't involve children in his struggles. He bodyslides away.

  In Boston, Cable defends Kelly against the Brotherhood of Mutants. Gambit, Beast, and Colossus provide backup. Colossus takes the brunt of Post's attack; Cable telekinetically tosses Blob, to his great surprise. An old man in the corner removes his hat, and Cable sees it's Pyro, dying of the Legacy Virus. He realizes this is all a setup and throws his psimitar into Mastermind, so her illusions dissipate. Post has Kelly, but Pyro uses his power to stop him, pleads with Kelly to make the hatred stop, and dies.

  Note: the story continues in Bishop 16.
