Title:

Uncanny X-Men

Synopsis:
The original X-Men from the past and X-23 are relaxing at the New Xavier School when Jean Grey tells them that she needs a break and is going to set out on her own. Angel suggests that they all take a break for now. Beast walks away, annoyed. Jean goes after him. Beast tells her that ever since they came to this time, he has been hit with one humiliating pie after the other, and now he believes that this group will never get back together. Jean tells him that just because she doesn’t want to be an X-Man doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to be with him. They kiss, which Cyclops observes from below.

At the Jean Grey School, Iceman has a brief training session with Triage, the Stepford Cuckoos, Goldballs, Benjamin Deeds, and Hijack. He leaves them, suggesting they need serious re-training and heads into the mansion. There, he finds his past self and the past Jean Grey, waiting for him. Young Iceman informs his present day self that he is gay and tells him it must mean he is, too. He also tells his present day self that he is not going to live a lie but understands why his present day self did – but not sure why he continues to do so. There is an awkward silence, before present Iceman explains how he put all of his energy into being a mutant and an X-Man and never took time out for himself, always being persecuted for one aspect of his life.

Kitty finds Colossus at the Jean Grey School. He is unsure if it is really Kitty, but she convinces him that it is. Their reunion is pleasant, and Colossus confesses that he understands Kitty is to be married. Kitty tells Colossus that she has come to talk on behalf of someone else. Colossus realizes Kitty is talking about his sister, who teleports to him. Their reunion does not go smoothly to begin with, but Magik explains to Colossus all of the changes she has made in her life – teaching and training. Colossus embraces his sister, who tells him to make his move on Kitty. He declines as he wants her to be happy.

The Beast is in his laboratory when he is summoned to the cafeteria by Storm. When he arrives, he finds himself confronted by numerous X-Men and students from the Jean Grey School, as well as Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Dazzler, Magik and the original X-Men from the past. The Beast asks if this is an intervention of sorts, and Storm explains that it is. She points out that he has taken enormous liberties in the name of the X-Men. The Beast realizes this is a trial and gets angry. Storm suggests to the Beast that they could turn him over to SHIELD because of what he has done to the X-Men. The Beast ignores her and gets angry that Cyclops’s students are present. Emma tells Beast that his actions impact them all, and Storm tells him that she wondered if no one talked to him about power and responsibility. After discussions with his past self, she learned that he knew about them, about the differences between right and wrong. The Beast tries to ignore Storm and tells her that most of the things he is working on, it would take him weeks or months to explain them. The Beast tries to change the subject, but Storm won’t have it. Kitty points out how he never discusses his decisions with the rest of them. The Beast scolds his past self for letting this happen to him. He reminds everyone that he brought the original X-Men here, and Cyclops’s mutant genocide never happened. He points out that Cyclops caused a schism, caused the X-Men to fall apart, but the X-Men let him walk free. He tells the X-Men that they can go to hell and then angrily walks away.

The X-Men soon learn that something is going on in Washington, DC, so Magik teleports everyone in the Cafeteria. There, they find Cyclops, Havok, and the Utopians standing on the steps of the Capitol Building, with hundreds of other mutants gathered. Cyclops announces that this is the mutant revolution – bringing all of mutantkind together, united. Magneto arrives and joins Cyclops on the steps, telling him that Charles Xavier would have loved this.

Back in his lab, the Beast is visited by Eva Bell, who informs him that she has travelled to many times. In three of them, she was told there will be a trial of Henry McCoy and that it would be very important. The Beast doesn’t want to listen to her. She tells him that if this was it, then what is he to do with what happened today. And if it wasn’t? She doesn’t continue, and when he turns to her, she has vanished. The Beast looks to the moon and then drives away from the Jean Grey School.
