...to the Morlocks is to offer them a true Asgardian funeral, gathering their bodies and burning them, transforming the Alley into a massive funeral pyre.

Hela arrives to explain her attack against Thor,

Blockbuster once again attacks, managing to shatter Thor's forearm, a moment of physical weakness the Norse god was unprepared to expect.

Recognizing Blockbuster as one of the Marauders who crucified him in the Tunnels, Warren dives at the mutant, distracting him long enough...

...from his mutant gift to Candy Southern; coupled with the pain of his broken wings, his pleas that Thor let him finally rest connect to the idea that death is "gift".

Thor denies Warren's request, and takes the mutant with him in search of exit where the two come upon Artie.

...one again swiftly defeats his opponents.

While the idea of death as release doesn't translate well onto the Morlocks, it does more strongly connect with Warren's suffering.

In his last X-Factor appearance, Warren had essentially lost everything that mattered to him...

...the issue's B- and C- plots but I'm way less informed on the implications of those story elements, which is why I've excluded them from the thread.

Scott cradles Leech–looking more like a father than he ever has–and promises to take care of Leech.

It all reminds him that Artie remains lost in the Tunnels, and he heads out in search of their lost ward.

...of informing Leech of his mother's murder.

At first Franklin tries to explain that just because mommies and daddies go away sometimes, it doesn't mean they don't love you, but Julie cuts straight to the point to explain that Annalee isn't coming back.

Leech howls in grief...

...willingness to murder children even more chilling here than it was in the crossover's other issues.

The kids triumph over their opponents in time for X-Factor to arrive to get Caliban the medical care he needs, and the children are left with the heavy task...
