Story Title: The Other Shoe ...
By: Scott Lobdell
Artists: Pascual Ferry, Tim Townsend & Lee Weeks
Synopsis: Several X-Men hover in a Blackbird over the Pentagon in case Gambit and Phoenix need backup. The latter two X-Men are sneaking into a multinational secret meeting on mutants. Bastion tells the various dignitaries at the meeting that an entity known as Onslaught is making its presence felt randomly all over the globe. Even with the combined integration intelligence, they still do not know if it is an organization or a single entity. Bastion finishes his lecture by pulling a gun and aiming it directly at Gambit and Phoenix. Phoenix is astonished to discover that her telekinetic power does not work on him. The soldiers hesitate to fire because of all the civilians present. This gives Gambit and Phoenix the chance to run for it. Phoenix senses people on the other side of a door so Gambit uses his cards to blow a hole in the wall. They escape into a room of sleeping soldiers. As they are reunited with Storm and the others Phoenix is telepathically contacted by a force that claims to have put the soldiers to sleep as a gift to allow them to escape. Senator Kelly invites Cyclops to his house for a clandestine meeting. He informs Cyclops of an organization with an international agenda against mutants. Neither are aware of the van listening outside Senator Kelly’s home. Cyclops dives to protect Senator Kelly just as the room explodes around them in flame Archangel and Psylocke are practicing maneuvers at Archangels home in the Rocky Mountains while they both heal from their previous injuries. A living shadow makes its present felt. Psylocke cries out psionically, causing her to pass out on the ground. Archangel goes to her rescue, only to pass from exhaustion next to her. . Psylocke senses that the shadow entity will not be friendly once it is free.
