Like Lambs to the Slaughter

Summary

  Magneto remembers being nursed by Piotr, after Xavier shut off his mind (X-Men II:25). Piotr wanted him to ignite the faith he once had; Magneto now berates Xavier for not stopping human attacks on mutants and says Piotr achieved in death more than he or Xavier ever did. He is slowing the blood to Xavier's brain, to keep him captive.

  Jean telepathically trains her interim team in the use of their powers; Provenzano is a pig, and she puts him in his place. Jean takes everyone into Dazzler's memories of the Mojoverse, which was overrun by X-Baby versions of the AOA. Longshot may be dead.

  The Blackbird lurches forward and breaks apart. Jean scrambles to get the team safely to the ground, but they are delivered by magnetic power to Magda Square. Scott and Logan come running, while Lorna helps escapees.

  Magneto shows them Xavier; Dazzler uses the roar of the crowd to blast him with light, but he uses magnetism to deflect it back, disintegrating her.
