Summary

  A ferryman (Mystique, see iss. 3) takes Switchback along an icy underground river to Cain, her guide. They walk through jungle for days, the come to the warm haven in the Antarctic: Avalon.

  Sentinels patrol the ruins of Manhattan, where Angel runs a nightclub, Heaven. Kurt wants him to arrange passage for him to Avalon, so he can find Destiny.

  Magneto contacts Mystique, ordering her to meet Kurt in Avalon. She has been fer-rying people there, for a price.

  Angel sends Kurt to an old Stark ware-house, where Proudstar is holding a ghost dance. Kurt hates churches; Proudstar doesn't like the Darkholmes; Kurt ports away with the finger he pointed at him, then demands passage. He puts him on the sub Excalibur, with other refugees.

  Dani is an informant; she tells Apocalypse Kurt is at the ghost dance, and Avalon is in Antarctica.

  Destiny welcomes Switchback, but when she touches her, she sees Apocalypse.
