Story Title: … For What I Have Done
By: Scott Lobdell
Artists: John Romita Jr., Jae Lee, Paul Smith, Brandon Peterson & Dan Green
Synopsis: Exodus, the proclaimed Voice of Magneto, has arrived amongst the Acolytes and informed them that not only is Magneto alive, but Cortez had betrayed their savior and had attempted to kill him. Abandoning Cortez, the Acolytes accompany Exodus to Avalon, the haven Magneto has constructed for them. Elsewhere, both Magneto and Xavier are tied up in thoughts of their past. Magneto remembers the night his daughter, Anya, died and how it changed his life, steering it down the road it is on today. Xavier questions whether upsetting the course of lives for his X-Men has been wise and even shrugs off a message from Lilandra reminding him that he is never truly alone. Anticipating the upcoming funeral of his sister, Illyana, Colossus withdraws even more emotionally and refuses the affection of Kitty, his closest friend. At the funeral of Illyana, which is attended by all of the X-Men and their allies, the grief of Colossus turns to rage when he blames Xavier for Illyana’s death, saying that the failure of his dream, more than anything, led to her death. The sentiments are joined by Magneto, who arrives unexpectedly with his Acolytes. After holding the attending crowd in their place with his powers, Magneto offers then a place in his haven, Avalon. Displaying his massive fortress for them, Magneto returns his Acolytes to the station, continuing to address the X-Men alone. Having absorbed enough of Magneto’s energies through his passive powers, Bishop expels them, temporarily taking down Magneto and freeing the X-Men and others. The X-Men manage to get the upper hand against Magneto until Colossus intercedes. Declaring that he wishes to join Magneto’s cause, having tried Xavier’s way, Colossus is levitated to Avalon, to join the rest of the Acolytes. As the presence of Avalon is still a threat, Xavier mentally commandeers Magneto’s powers and uses them to raise he, Magneto and Avalon into space. Xavier lets Magneto and Avalon go and begins to fall back to the Earth, but is saved by Archangel. Still, with the threat of Magneto still around, all Xavier and the X-Men can do… is wait.
