Story Title: Disturbing Behavior
By: Alan Davis & Fabian Nicieza
Artists: Leinil Francis Yu and John Livesay
Synopsis: The Acolytes are protected by their shields from the nuclear wash, but Scanner and Neophyte worry about the X-Men down below. Unbeknownst to the Acolytes, however, Xavier used his powers to telepathically make Cargill extend the ship’s shields in secret to protect his team. He then mentally coerces the Acolytes, including the sympathetic Scanner, to attack his X-Men in a ploy to leave their ship unguarded. The plan works, but Katu stays behind, as he is unaffected by the telepathy thanks to his cybernetic system. The X-Men eventually defeat the Acolytes, and Shadowcat sneaks into the ship to defeat Katu. With the ship secure, the team heads to confront Magneto at his Polar Tower. However, Astra and Joseph have already arrived, and Astra tells Joseph that today is the day he will fulfill his destiny to destroy Magneto. Astra confronts Magneto alone, and finds the man still hooked up to his amplifier. The two argue with each other over their tense past. Magneto tells Astra that she is without honor and never thinks about her mutant brothers, while Astra implies that Magneto purposely agitates the humans and then gets upset when humans won’t let him rule them. After the exchange of words, in which Astra learns Magneto allowed Joseph to live so he could hide and finalize his current plans without distraction, Astra attacks Magneto and destroys his device. The magnetic energy goes out of control and threatens to destroy the atmosphere, but Magneto absorbs it all, as he has no other choice. He is about to kill Astra, when he is attacked by Joseph, who not only is fighting because Astra has total control over him, but because he must fight for man and mutant! Meanwhile, Alda Huxley arrives at the United Nations and tells the delegates that she has an alternative to using more nukes – but they must be willing to sacrifice something.
