...is hunted and killed by Logan.
Her nightmares create an interesting inversion in her identity–especially after her nightmares manifest her hound outfit–as hunted rather than huntress.
As compelling a character as she's been, Rachel's emotional growth has been stunted for...
...from the skies.
True to form, Claremont pauses the issue long enough to give Jessica–the latest in a line of editorially-spurned Claremont heroines–a moment to call Julia Carpenter out for sullying her good name, even if her gumption is nothing in the face of Julia's powers.
...for a few moments before Spiral sees through the rouse and zaps the former weather witch to the ground.
When Kitty's companion David tries to jump into battle with her, her dismissal that he's "only human" would be salt in Ororo's wound if not for her unconscious plummet...

Joined by a sort-of-newly-minted Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter (like here to give Jessica Drew something to angst about, as is Claremont's favorite thing to do with his disparaged female characters)...

...ultimately overpowers them.
One of Claremont's main arguments across the Run is that humanity is derived from our relationships (he establishes Katie as a well of strength for Logan throughout the book), which is why the revenge-driven Lady Deathstrike falls to Logan.
...stage a second attack as Logan poses for a moment and asks Katie for his trust.
Before Logan prepares to take their assault, he asks Katie for courage and trust.
UXM #205 is very much a meditation on innocence–and when it might be lost–and so his request to Katie...
