| Synopsis | - The White Queen, Rogue and Iceman interrogate Sabretooth, but he isn’t giving up any information, as he only wants to speak with Xavier, no knowing that the professor is not longer at the mansion. As Val Cooper is also unaware of this fact, the X-Men have Mystique impersonate Xavier, when Cooper wants to discuss the events from Nogals with the professor. “Xavier“ assures Val that the X-Men are innocent, however, she is not quite sure if she can believe him. After Val has left, Cannonball tells Mystique that she did good, and informs her that Rogue wants her on her new squad, surprising Mystique. In the infirmary, Beast and Rogue speak with Karima, who has been repaired, but doesn’t remember what happened to her, except that she went to the Fordyce Clinic to help someone, and that her internal clock is off by thirteen weeks. Lady Mastermind is still unconscious. Also entering the infirmary, Wolverine tells Rogue that she should have informed him about Sabretooth’s presence. Meanwhile, in Alaska, the mysterious group of five super beings - Serafina, Sangre, Aguja, Perro and Fuego - break into a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility called Utopia, where former X-Man Northstar is being held. Serafina “liberates” him, while the others kill all the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel. Next Northstar is sent to Canada to recruit his sister Aurora; just in time, as the deranged woman was suicidal and ready to blow her head off. Somewhat later, Serafina and Perro are outside Xavier’s mansion along with Northstar and Aurora. Serafina mentions that she has repaired Aurora’s mind, before she bestows them some new power - blocking the sun and plunging everything into darkness. Confusion spreads through the Xavier Institute, when Northstar and Aurora make their presences known to a surprised Iceman - only for Iceman to explode. Far away, in deep space, a Shi’ar vessel is destroyed by a mysterious energy.
