Title:

X-Men

Synopsis:
"Harvest of the Innocent"

While Omega Red stands guard, the Soul Skinner explores the minds of the X-Men, finding similarities in Cyclops’ tortured mind to his own. The Soul Skinner reveals the death of his daughter; how he learned that his wife was a Flagwatch, sent to keep an eye over him; and how he then killed her. Omega Red is sent to find Colossus and Colonel Vazhin, who are in a shack full of Neftelensk’s children. Colossus and Vazhin argue about the use of Colossus’ sister, Illyana, against the Soul Skinner before they detect the arrival of the Special Investigations Unit. Colossus is determined that his sister will not be used, while Vazhin asks if the life of one outweighs the life of an entire town. Colossus sees his sister, caged, and goes to free her, but Vazhin attempts to stop him. They battle until the Soul Skinner finds them. Colossus learns that his parents were murdered, causing him to attack Vazhin once more, but Vazhin assures him that was not part of Flagwatch’s agenda. The Soul Skinner battles Colossus before becoming so overwhelmed with his own guilt that he weakens - but not before pressing a button on the cage Illyana is in, causing her agony. Cyclops, Psylocke, Iceman, Jubilee, and Darkstar and Blind Faith of the Exiles are free of the Soul Skinner’s influence, and battle him, while trying to free Illyana. Colossus meanwhile left the battle, only to return a short time later with the children from the shack. Psylocke telepathically links the children and gathers their innocence as psychic energy before stabbing the Soul Skinner with that power - moments later, Colonel Vazhin shoots the Soul Skinner through the head. Colossus frees Illyana from the cage, vowing to never let her be harmed again. Wolverine returns and announces that Omega Red escaped, while Jubilee questions the X-Men, asking how they deal with this kind of pain and still look at themselves in the mirror. Meanwhile, at the Xavier Institute, Rogue flies blind, with Gambit guiding her. The Beast recalls happier times for the X-Men before Jean Grey approaches him, hoping to discuss his problems.
