Synopsis:
Years ago, Destiny gave Mystique some cryptic, prophetic advice. More recently, Mystique met with Xavier and Magneto about them resurrecting Destiny. But Xavier and Magneto want something from Mystique, and give her a special assignment, to deliver a Krakoan plant to the Orchis space station that a strike team is going to board. When the mission is underway, Mystique does her part, planting the Krakoan flower, before she and the rest of the strike team are killed. Before she dies, Mystique is sucked into space, and her last thoughts are of Destiny. When she is resurrected, Xavier tells Mystique that her sacrifice was not in vain. Mystique realizes that Xavier wants more, and Magneto tells her that they believe she planted the flower, but that they need to know she did. Mystique steps through a portal, and finds herself on the Orchis space station. Disguising herself as a courier, she delivers a package between Director Devo's workshop and Dr Gregor's laboratory, and returns to Krakoa, informing Magneto and Xavier that Dr. Gregor appears to be developing a Nimrod aboard the Orchis space station. Certain that she has done her part, Mystique asks for Destiny to be resurrected, but Xavier reminds Mystique that she has never exactly been faithful to the mutant cause, and that they will only bring Destiny back when she has earned it. Mystique promises to go back to the space station to find more information about the Nimrod, before telling Xavier that she hates him – that she has always hated him. Mystique remembers more of her time with Destiny and her prophetic words – that the time will come, and that she must return – but if she is unable to, then Mystique must burn this place to the ground.
