Brief Description:
Storm approaches Wolverine about taking over as leader of the X-Men while she searches for Forge to ask him to return her powers. He doesn't want to do it, but Storm manages to convince him that it's his duty. She makes her way to Dallas, Texas, where Forge's penthouse is. After finding the building deserted and without power, she takes the stairs up to Forge's penthouse apartment. When she arrives, she is shocked to find holograms of her and Forge out on the balcony, replaying their confrontation from months ago. Suddenly, the security systems are activated, but through some fancy maneuvering she stays out of harm's way. She progresses through the penthouse only to find more and more holograms of herself and Forge. She decides to go to the control room to shut it off. When she does, the holograms disappear and she finds Forge distraught nearby. However, it's just another hologram and the person who turned them on reveals himself. It's Naze, who tells her he wanted to test her skills. He wants her help in finding Forge. She refuses, but after much begging and pleading she agrees to go with him. However, Naze's motives may not be so innocent.

Characters Involved:
Storm, Wolverine (both X-Men)

The Adversary in the form of Forge's mentor Naze

holograms

Forge,Storm (both memories and fantasy depictions of them)

Story Notes:
Storm lost her powers to Forge's Neutralizer in Uncanny X-Men #185.

The opening story of the two eagles was Storm's metaphorical representation of what she feels was Forge's betrayal.

The holograms were replaying events that occurred in Uncanny X-Men #186.
Naze saved Storm's life in Uncanny X-Men #187.

Naze was replaced (and seemingly killed) by a Dire Wraith (off-panel in Uncanny X-Men #187). In Uncanny X-Men #188 that Wraith was in turn possessed by the Adversary.
