Summary

  NOTE: new looks all ‘round: Lorna with short hair, Forge with a buzz cut and moustache, Kyle with an earring and stubble.

  Val has a lead on the man who attacked Mystique in Wyoming (X-Men Prime) and tells Mystique, who is impersonating Forge.

  Lorna trains with Kyle, who is concerned because Shard has not been seen since the Adversary's attack (iss. 120).

  Mystique has gone alone to a government base, where she finds many dead men and is attacked by Sabretooth (the father of her child Graydon Creed). X-Factor arrives, and Polaris restrains Sabretooth. Val explains that he has a restraining collar, but Sabretooth explains that they were never supposed to see what they have seen and must now die.
