Résumé: In Croatia, someone has taken X-23 prisoner. She soon discovers that this same person has taken Sabretooth and Daken prisoner, as well as a cloaked figure who is keeping to himself.
Soon after, Deathstrike is brought in as well. Daken says that this has to be about Logan. Deathstrike tries to escape, but their captor uses the code word “caterpillar” which causes her to collapse.
The cloaked figure reveals himself to be Charles Xavier, which is odd since he’s supposed to be dead (but, I thought Daken was dead, too). It is revealed that this is really Mystique in disguise. Elixir is brought in as a prisoner too.
Their jailer arrives and asks, “Have you ever heard of a scientist named Dr. Abraham Cornelius?”
It is revealed that Dr. Cornelius had captured each of them at some point and implanted four trigger words in their minds. One to put them to sleep, one to control them, one to kill them, and a mysterious fourth word.
The jailer says that they had been working for Cornelius, and had no idea. He wants to know what they were doing. And that is the end…
