Owner's Description

“Beauty & the Beast part two: You Can’t Go Home Again” Mikhail Rasputin teleports his brother and Marrow to his world, and Marrow immediately leaves to find Callisto. Piotr talks with his brother, and it soon becomes clear that Mikhail intends to make up for his sister’s death and those of the Morlocks by creating new life, which horrifies Piotr. He explains that even by creating new life, it doesn’t mean anything, as Illyana will be a soulless statue. Mikhail, however, tells him that Piotr himself will have the creative spark to give Illyana her real presence. Elsewhere, Marrow comes across Callisto, but she is holding a younger version of herself. Marrow doesn’t know why she can see these images, but when the whole scene begins to play out, she remembers it from her younger days on Mikhail’s world. As she wonders if Mikhail is creating these flashbacks, she sees her younger self being taken from Callisto, and realizes how little choice her friend had in the matter. She then takes a look at those fighting on the hill outside and remembers how she used to feel when asked to battle day by day. She then sees a slightly older version of herself, and is shocked at how feral she looks. She sees the scene where Mikhail tested her once again against two large thugs, and recalls how proud she felt when she took them apart. All she wanted back then was his acceptance - the acceptance of a madman. Meanwhile, Mikhail creates a facsimile of Illyana, but when Piotr will not help, Mikhail decides that he will be destroyed. As they fight, Marrow returns and argues with Mikhail about how he should recognize his part in her struggle in order to live with the guilt of the thousands that he killed. Mikhail begins to struggle with something inside of him, and somehow pushes out of himself a strange entity that swirls around them, comprised of dozens of tortured faces. Piotr realizes that this thing must have been in control of his brother for some time, and formed a symbiotic relationship with him. Mikhail decides to return Piotr and Marrow to where they came from, but Piotr persuades him to come too, hoping the entity doesn’t follow. With his remaining power, Mikhail teleports them back to the Boston art gallery and falls unconscious. Meanwhile, in Egypt, Deathbird is double-crossed by Apocalypse after delivering the Living Monolith to his followers. <br /><br />
