Synopsis:
The past Jean Grey finds her telepathic powers active and speaks with the present Beast inside his mind. They discuss their present situations, before the past Beast appears, explaining that the Beast’s genetic experiments on his own body are what is killing him. The past Beast continues to work on his future self’s body, while Jean Grey and the rest of the past X-Men, and several present X-Men - Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, and Storm - are on hand. In the present Beast‘s mind, he starts to work through equations with his past self. Despite being ordered out of the lab, along with everyone else, Kitty Pryde returns to talk to the past Beast, who has a big attitude. Inside the present Beast’s mind, Jean tells him that he shouldn’t have brought them to the future, before wanting to know everything that has happened to her. The Beast lets her further into his mind, and Jean practically lives her life, experiencing many significant events, but she panics, and “falls” out of the Beast’s mind, where Kitty then looks after her. Outside, many students gather around the past Cyclops, while Wolverine confronts him, suggesting that he kill the past Cyclops right now - until the present Beast, alive and well, but his form changed yet again, appears, and puts a stop to Wolverine’s spectacle. Storm and Kitty are relieved that their friend is alive, but before the Beast can send the past X-Men back to their own time, Jean announces that they are not going, as she is seen what becomes of their lives, and will not stand for it. The past X-Men put it to a vote, but only Angel wants to return to their true time. The present Beast is concerned that the past X-Men cannot just go around doing what they want in the future, so Kitty Pryde promises to look after them. The past Angel is worried as to why no one is talking about what has happened to him, and when the past Cyclops tries to talk to Jean, she tells him to leave her alone. Meanwhile, at the University of Texas, the new mutant Benjamin has been kicked out of school, and as he leaves, he finds Cyclops waiting for him outside. Cyclops tries to talk to Benjamin and is curious as to his mutation power. Cyclops offers Benjamin training, and he somewhat reluctantly agrees, before being teleported to the New Charles Xavier School for the Gifted.

Quotes: "We're not going back. I've seen what is going to become of our lives. I've seen everything that gets us to this point. I'm not having it. No. We go back, and Charles Xavier, you said it, Charles Xavier will read our minds and know what Hank did here, and he will mind-wipe all of this from us. We'll never know that no matter what we do in the course of our lives as X-Men... we end up in torture and disaster. And disaster. All of us. Everything we're going to go back and fight for ends in my death, Charles Xavier dying, and Scott becoming everything he says he despises... and if that's the way it's going to be if that's our destiny, then we have to make sure it was worth it. We have to right things here. We have to do what we set out to do. We put things the way they're supposed to be, and then we go back. Xavier can mind-wipe the hell out of us. Hell, I'll do it myself." —Past Jean Grey to the X-Men
