Synopsis:
In her hospital bed, Madelyne Pryor has a nightmare about being the sole survivor of a plane crash. She is brought to an ambulance, but the paramedics seem familiar and Madelyne realizes she is in trouble. She breaks free but is eventually gunned down by two of the Marauders. Madelyne finally wakes up from her coma, much to the surprise of two doctors, who have been treating the unconscious woman for weeks. At Xavier's, the X-Men load up the wounded onto the Blackbird. They're going to take them to Moira MacTaggert's in Scotland. Only Storm and Wolverine are staying behind. During the flight Shadowcat, still stuck in a phased state, walks up to the sleeping Longshot and gives him a kiss. He wakes up and feels death within Kitty. Meanwhile, Storm and Wolverine take a trip to Sara Grey's house. They arrive and find the place on fire. Wolverine picks up a familiar scent and goes berserk. He knocks Storm out and runs away. Storm wakes up in a prison cell. She escapes and finds out she's in a building filled with animal heads and war memorabilia. The owners of the building come back, they are three super-powered war veterans by the names of Crimson Commando, Super Sabre, and Stonewall. After a big fight, Storm is subdued. Later, she finds out she and another girl are going to be hunted by these three men. They get a head start and take advantage of it. At sunset, the men go hunting.
Notes:
- Signed by: Alan Davis on 10/28/2022
- Madelyne Pryor was brought to the hospital as "Jane Doe" in Uncanny X-Men #206. The nightmare is a mix of what she believes to be her past (sole plane crash survivor) and the events that led to her current condition. X-Factor #38 explains that with Jean Grey being found alive, Mr. Sinister wanted to eliminate all evidence of Madelyne Pryor being her clone. He had ordered the Marauders to kidnap the baby and kill Maddie, but fighting back with powers she did not even know she possessed, she survived.
- Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Shadowcat were seriously injured during the Mutant Massacre. Kitty was stuck in a phased state, whereas Piotr and Kurt received terrible wounds.
- Longshot arrived at the mansion in Uncanny X-Men Annual #10. In that issue, Kurt, Kitty, and Nightcrawler are all unharmed, so the story has to be set before the Mutant Massacre. It's unknown where Longshot was from Uncanny X-Men #210-214.
- Sara Grey's house exploded in X-Factor #12. Much later the X-Men found out that Sara was absorbed by the Phalanx [X-Men (2nd series) #36], while her two kids were abducted by Nanny. [X-Factor #35] How this came to be was never explained.
- The X-Men don't know that Jean Grey is alive at this point, which is why Wolverine went crazy. Jean was revealed alive in X-Factor #1, but her teammates among X-Factor thought it was best to keep it a secret since they were posing as mutant exterminators.
- Storm lost her powers in Uncanny X-Men #185 from being shot with the neutralizer gun Forge built for the government.
- Tommie was most likely the person Stonewall and Super Sabre were referring to when they talked about their hunt.
