...or not she believes it.

Forge finds a beaten Naze dying on his Sanctum's floor, the entity's deception unrevealed. Ororo confronts him a final time: they may have been a team today, but she has forgotten just how much the man has stolen from her.

...Illyana arrives on scene, finally revealing herself before the team as the mutant-sorceress we've come to love and fear.

The man who has rejected his identity must return to it to restore the stolen identity of another.

Forge is trapped between two worlds, and even as he tries to escape...
