"We're being messed with. My memories - some of them are wrong."

Permalink

Nausicaa flinches. "That makes no sense! Who'd do that?"

Permalink

Sue's slowly pulling her hand away from her head.

"It does. It - "

"I remember being scared."

"It hurt. I - didn't know what was going on."

"And then - there wasn't anything at all."

Permalink

"That was a nightmare, it didn't happen - "

Permalink

She shakes her head. "I don't know."

"Loki - what's going on?"

Permalink

"This world's overlaid on another. I don't know if it's some kind of shared illusion of what. Everyone's memories were altered to fit. It - it's perfect, in a way nowhere can be - nothing's ever this good."

Permalink

Nausicaa's shaking her head, but she's - upset, in a way she wouldn't be if she fully didn't believe that -

Permalink

"That makes more sense than it should. Who though? How?"

Permalink

"Someone I spoke to thought it was you guys' mom. She's powerful. Maybe - maybe enough."

Permalink

"Her powers don't work like that, though - "

Permalink

Nausicaa goes quiet.

"They do, though."

"They're - whatever we want, as long as we want it hard enough, the right way."

Permalink

"And this would've been easy to want."

Permalink

"Yeah."

"So what's our plan?"

Permalink

"I have some friends. They have abilities we don't, so - probably that's something to discuss with them."

Permalink

"Right."

Permalink

Loki nods, bringing them back to the ruin of Xavier's Institute - and to her allies.

Permalink

"Hello."

Permalink

"Hey. I'm Nausicaa, that's my sister Sue - Loki said you guys were trying to help her with the whole... Thing?"

Permalink

"More or less. I am Eliana, this is Mora."

Permalink

"The identical quintuplets are the Cuckoo sisters - Sophie, Phoebe, Irma Mindee, Celeste, and Esme. They used to get called Five-in-One a lot. Polite but powerful telepaths."

Permalink

"Nice to meet you all."

Permalink

"Have you any insights to share with us?"

Permalink

"Mom's not got much in the way of defenses - a hard blow she's not expecting should bring her down. She's got really good sensory powers, though. And - I think I can maybe talk to her. I think - there's a memory I have. I think me and Sue died, in that other world."

Permalink

"That would fit with the story we've heard so far."

Permalink

"I'm - not actually sure what happens to us if this world unravels..."
