Summary

  Bowser forces Smith to play Forge's CD. He wants to learn X-Factor's secrets, but instead the disk provides X-Factor with access to all government systems. Forge first uses this access to make his team invisible to government spy satellites.

  Kyle ticks everyone off and bounces off everyone. Guido wakes from his coma, demands to see X-Factor, and has to be sedated. X-Factor are meanwhile busy terrorizing Bowser in his home to get information about the attack on Trevor. They find him bound in the house, but Bowser denies all involvement. The boy is a mutant with the ability to warp reality, and X-Factor soon finds themselves fighting monsters from the boy's imagination who swallow Bowser. Trevor is satisfied that justice was done and reveals that he knows Raven Darkholme is Mystique. We see Bowser trapped inside the boy's glaring stare.
