Rachel Summers is homeless on the streets. After travelling back in time to this era, she has begun noticing things are different from how they should be; for example, when she tried to contact Xavier’s, she found Illyana Rasputin older than she should be. Confused she’d run away. To make matters worse, the mutant energy vampire Selene notices Rachel and the power in her, deciding she’ll make a perfect apprentice and heir. Weakened and scared, Rachel runs away and searches for refuge in a club. The bouncer tries to throw her out, but the owner, Nick Damiano, takes pity on Rachel and offers her a place to stay for the night. Rachel agrees and walks home with him. She takes a bath when she notices she can’t read his mind anymore. In the living room, she finds Nick a lifeless husk, killed by Selene. Rachel tries to fight the other woman, but finds Selene is more experienced and powerful. At that moment, the X-Men join the fight, as Cerebro detected the two strong mutants. Thanks to Xavier’s telepathy, they barely manage to drive Selene away and rescue Rachel. Rachel blurts out that she knows them, but then is in for another shock as she sees Xavier walking and Storm as a punk. She now has to admit to herself that somehow she ended up in the wrong timeline. Meanwhile in Dallas, Texas, Valerie Cooper and Raven Darkholme visit the inventor Forge to secure weapons against both the Dire Wraiths and any mutant threats. They witness part of an argument between Forge and his old mentor Naze, who hints at a terrible future to come if Forge doesn’t follow his duty. Forge plays a joke on the women by claiming he can detect a mutant in the building, much to Raven’s aka Mystique’s horror, before admitting that he is the mutant, leaving Raven in a foul mood.
