Owner's Description

Chris Claremont (writer), John Romita Jr. and Dan Green (artists), Glynis Wein (colorist), Tom Orzechowski (letterer), Ann Nocenti (editor), Jim Shooter (editor in chief)
Agent Henry Gyrich and Valerie Cooper decide to use Forge’s Neutralizer to hunt Rogue. When Mystique learns of this while in her human identity of Raven Darkholme and knows and cannot stop them, she informs Forge, who is enraged by this betrayal of trust. Storm, in the meantime, is worried because Rogue is missing. She informs Xavier and they use Cerebro to search for her. Storm finds Rogue on the banks of the Mississippi, her old home. The two women talk a bit and Rogue tells her about her fears and frustrations. Storm offers a gesture of trust by allowing Rogue to temporarily absorb her powers. Rogue complies and enjoys the new perspective of the world. However, at that moment, she is attacked by Gyrich’s group and hit by a weak dose of the Neutralizer. She fights back using Storm’s power, inadvertently creating a hurricane that endangers a nearby tugboat crew. Storm regains consciousness and joins her. Despite the danger, the two of them try to save the boat crew. With them distracted, Gyrich fires at Rogue again, using the maximum setting, over the protest of Forge who has joined them. Storm shoves Rogue aside and is hit instead. As energy explodes from her, both women fall into the river. Forge manages to save the unconscious Storm. Unfortunately, he is unaware of the alien Dire Wraiths who plan to kill him before he can develop the Neutralizer into a threat to them. In Westchester, Rachel makes an anonymous call to Cyclops, her father, believing the woman he is married to Madelyne – to be her mother, Jean Grey, instead.
