Title:

The Astonishing X-Men (1995)

Synopsis:
Magneto tells his fellow X-Men of a mission that he needs them to go on. He eventually tells them his feelings about Bishop and his story of this reality somehow being wrong. He’s afraid that what Bishop says might be true and needs to find out if it is. He meets some resistance from his people, but he assures them it is necessary.

Blink suddenly comes through her teleportation disc during the meeting. Next through is Sunfire, and he’s hurting. A Prelate comes through as well, but Blink severs the disc, and he is killed. Blink and Sunfire tell everyone that Holocaust has started another culling in Chicago, and everyone is shocked.

Later, while still recovering, Sunfire asks Rogue to help them stop Holocaust. Gambit enters the room, and he and Rogue leave to have a heart-to-heart talk. They’re almost about to kiss at one point when Blink steps outside with baby Charles. Gambit leaves, and the X-Men proceed with their mission.

In the hangar bay, Quicksilver stops by to try and convince Rogue not to go, only to learn that Sabretooth, Wild Child, and Morph have decided to accompanying Blink, Sunfire, and her to Chicago. Rogue convinces Pietro that she has to go. After wishing each other good luck, they blast off for Chicago. Bishop enters the hangar, puzzled as to why the X-Men would go on a suicide mission. Quicksilver tells him that even if this world isn’t the right world, it’s still their world and they will fight for it.

Elsewhere in the mansion, Magneto mulls over Bishop’s ramblings. Nightcrawler is in the room with him and they have a deep conversation about everything. Magneto is willing to sacrifice this Earth based on a promise to his friend Xavier to make the world a better place.

In his stronghold, Apocalypse learns from his servant Rex that the location of the X-Men’s base of operations will soon be known, since they can track Blink’s teleportation signature.
