Xavier enjoys his newfound ability to walk by working out. However, he is disrupted again by the mysterious probing force. He is joined by a concerned Storm, who admits her own doubts about her changes. Later, she visits her plants in the botanical gardens and breaks up a robbery in process, hurt that the victims are more scared of her than the thugs. Kitty Pryde, in the meantime, is hanging out with her pal, Doug Ramsey, and confiding the trouble she has with Storm’s change. Doug asks her to accompany him on his visit to the Massachusetts Academy. Back at Xavier’s, Colossus is troubled about Kitty’s friendship with Doug, as it really drives home all the differences between him and Kitty. In the evening, Kitty announces to Xavier and the X-Men that she intends to accompany Doug. As Emma frost is in a coma and Xavier can monitor her telepathically, she should not be in danger. Xavier and Storm agree. Later, Storm sweeps Kitty up high above the mansion and forces her to have their long overdue talk. Storm drives home that, while she and Kitty are friends, it was wrong of both of them to assume that Storm could take Kitty’s mother’s place. She can feel now finally and if Kitty cares for her she will have to accept that. Both of them make up. Later, the X-men drive Kitty to the airport, where she and Doug are led to the Academy’s private Jet. Kitty’s in for a nasty surprise, though, as welcoming them aboard is a very much recovered Emma Frost. Her telepathic scream for help goes unheard, for the X-Men are drawn to the Central Park and to a strange structure. As they enter it, they disappear from Earth…

During a course at Columbia University, Xavier catches a thought fragment, revealing that some among his students plan to kill someone else in the room. However, with his telepathy hampered, he can identify neither the would-be murderers nor the intended victim. He discusses the situation with the X-Men later at a restaurant and the team is not sure how to feel about Magneto’s presence. Rachel has a run-in with a strange man, whom she later realizes is the Beyonder. Intrigued by the X-Men, the Beyonder follows them invisibly. The X-Men split into small groups to find the would-be killers. Kitty runs into them, a group of her university classmates, the ones who mugged Xavier and are now intending to kill him with a bomb targeting telepaths. The bomb goes off, targeting Rachel instead who can fight back, thanks to her telekinesis. When the students try to kill Kitty, an enraged Rachel confronts them, planning to kill them in turn. Magneto of all people manages to talk her out of it. The Beyonder is puzzled by their behavior and decides to understand he must become truly human. Meanwhile, Nightcrawler has sat the mission out, instead visiting Father Bowen. He confides in the priest that their meeting with the Beyonder has shaken his faith in God to the core. In Kenya, Ororo is shot and left for dead by the same party of poachers whom she fought and humiliated earlier.
