Summary

  Nate projects an image of what would happen if the CS-9 were released. He doesn't trust the Brotherhood; Havok says better them than Dept. H, and reminds him that Dark Beast fixed his TK, which neither Moira nor the X-Men did. Nate blasts his way out and plans to take Aurora with him, until he realizes she's nuts.

  She calls out for her brother, and Nate remembers avoiding the AOA version of the twins and of Havok.

  Nate decides to leave the Brotherhood, and Alex tries to convince him otherwise but then lets him go. Nate knows his "Uncle Alex" is lying to himself. Fatale uses her feminine wiles trying to keep him, but he just stops back to tell Dark Beast not to harm Aurora and to destroy the DS-9 by exposing it to air, and to himself in the process.

  In Hong Kong, Maddie is officially inducted into the Hellfire Club, as Shaw's consort, and Selene allies with Fitzroy and Tessa against her.
