Teenage sex! What are the people of good morals going to think!?
Xavier and Lilandra
Xavier lock her down and put the rest of the restaurant in loop so he can grill her about the Phoenix.
Turns out the Hellfire Club was a splinter of the Shiar who wanted to control the Phoenix. The Shiar see him as a force of change and improvement. She talks about a primal force that kickstarted life in the cosmos but then was eventually captured and restrained by an old race that had become quite advanced and wanted to control their fate. I'm not sure why. I mean, if Phoenix is really only a force for change, it seems weird to spend a thousand years and bottomless ressources just to capture it and remove it from the equation. The Phoenix must have been more invasive in its influence than the Shiar wants to admit.
Anyway they needed a prison because he couldn't be destroyed. And the prison agregated matter around itself and became... Earth! According to the Shiar, the Phoenix is Earth's core!!!
They better be just deluded fanatic...
Cyclops and Jean
Not much. Cyclop give a lame line about whether or not is assertive enough and Jean says she'll give him an evaluation in a month. They are in bed. But Jean is still dress so...
Rogue and Bobby
Just as lame except Rogue is naked in bed (covered by the sheet). Tsssk. What are they, 15? What a terrible influence on our youth this Kirkman is turning out to be.
Anyway, they are officially back together.
Wolverine & Storm & Sabertooth
He says his piece, says he remembers his mom. And just as Wolverine seems almost interested enough to listen, he says he said his piece and attacks. And take a chunk of Wolverine's side but they are swiftly separeted when Storm gets a clean shot in. Sabertooth flees and Wolverine accpets Ororo's help with surprisingly little macho crap. They just might work out as a couple, who knows.
Wolverine goes back to base. Turns out Dr Cornelius survived after all. And his uite defigured by the chopper crash. He wanted a sample of Wolverine's DNA because he wants to create his own... Logan clone saga? Cornelius ask what Sabertooth had to say to get close enough to logan to surprise him. He says 'Whatever it takes' but his look is ambiguous. OOooooh. So was it a lie or not? Now we just don't know.
The kid and Fury
The kid doesn't want to be taken in when he realizes he's a mutant. Seems the US mutant/human relationship are still a bit strained. Whaddyuno.
He sucker kick Fury with a nice move. Seems like the kid has some notion of martial arts. But his powers are just wild. Another reality alteration mutant. He nearly takes the suqad apart. Fury order him tranqued. We don't see the result but it must work because next thing you know he is brought by Fury at the mansion in an Hannibal Lecter getup and drugged. Xavier reminds him that X-Men and SHIELD are no longer an item, Fury says that only Xavier can help and that if he remains with SHIELD he'll just be locked away and forgotten. Wolverine asks why this one is worth saving, Fury says he doesn't know what Logan means.
Kitty, Nightcrawler and Peter
Nothing much to say. Kitty came home from her date in a cab (and regrets spending the money). Peter is moping outside. Nightcrawler is nowhere to found.
Not too bad, not great.
3/5 overall for the three issues.
