Story Title: Family Lies: The First FourSaken Part 2
By: Chris Claremont & Tony Bedard
Artists: Roger Cruz, Victor Olazaba & Chris Bachalo
Synopsis: With Jamie gone, his effects begin to wear off. O*N*E soldiers close in on Nightcrawler and his teammates, so he teleports them away from the Institute. However, they arrive in Central Park, which wasn’t Kurt’s intended destination. The Watcher then follows them from the Institute, so they now know something heavy is going down. They chat about whether Jamie Braddock now has the power to affect things on a much larger scale, instead of on a localized basis as before. Kurt asks Betsy about the FourSaken, and she explains who they are. They were friends of Jamie’s who haven’t been seen in a while: Amina Synge, Godfrey Calthrop and Ned Horrocks. The Watcher then cuts in and explains that the Phoenix has a polar opposite called the First Fallen. The FourSaken are his servitors, and the Watcher seems fearful of what they might achieve. Once he’s finished his speech, Cleopatra’s Needle in the park begins to glow with energy, and flying salamanders are created, one of which rips out Cannonball’s soul. Psylocke kills it, and Sam’s soul returns to his body. However, many more salamanders enter the city and bring numerous souls back to a large bowl. The team is then attacked by Godfrey Calthrop and Ned Horrocks, and all but Kurt and Betsy are captured. Amina Synge prepares a ceremony to bring the First Fallen to them but, after Kurt is captured, Psylocke, whose brother has made her invisible to the FourSaken, smashes the bowl containing the souls. The First Fallen disappears back into his portal. Everyone is dragged along with him, so Betsy grabs Ned Horrocks and joins her friends wherever they are heading.
