Excalibur (Meggan, Captain Britain, Phoenix, Shadowcat, & Nightcrawler) in New York
By: Ron Lim
Plot -
Spending the night in New York after Inferno, the Excalibur members split up, each going
their own way. Nightcrawler travels to California to take one of the X-Men's old jets,
while Shadowcat heads back to the Xavier Institute. Unfornately, Kitty discovers the
mansion was destroyed during Inferno. All she finds there are the New Mutants, who are
starting to rebuild. Kitty lashes out at the New Mutants, but is confronted by Illyana,
who was replaced by her younger self during Inferno. Kitty's emotions, after losing Cypher
and now Illyana, are overwhelming her. Mirage steps in to help, by creating illusions of
Cypher and Illyana as Kitty remembers them. But Mirage's tricks only proves to Kitty that
no matter how much she loved them, she can never have them back. Rachel travels to
X-Factor's Ship to see her baby brother, Nathan Christopher. There, she watches as Jean
Grey takes care of her brother, thinking that someday, she will tell Jean that in her
reality, she was Rachel's mother. Also, Brian searches New York for the missing Meggan,
but each time comes up with nothing. He helps stop an accident and learns that his powers
slowly seem to be fading. Meggan, still hurting after being controlled during the Inferno,
is trying to escape her past. She shape-changes her way through New York, eventually
landing in Harlem and playing basketball. It is there Brian finally finds his lover and
the two rejoice in each other's arms. |
