Description
As Northstar prepares for his wedding to Kyle Jinadu, he thinks back to the events that led to the big day. A week ago, he was searching for Kyle in the tunnels and found him holding a gun, which he put to his own head. Luckily, Northstar’s super speed allowed him to prevent Kyle’s suicide and he discovered that Karma was behind the whole thing, though the reasons why remained unknown. In the aftermath, Kyle agreed to marry him after all. In the present, friends and family prepare for the ceremony which is taking place in New York City’s Central Park. Northstar is approached by several guests who demand his time, but it is Warbird’s statement that she will not be attending on principle that hurts him the most. Jean-Paul’s sister, Aurora, arrives with something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. She advises her brother that it isn’t too late to pull out of the wedding, but Jean-Paul is adamant that this is exactly what he wants. Beast officiates the wedding and marries the loving couple to a backdrop of sculptured ice and white flowers. Once the party gets going, Wolverine slips away as his stomach is grumbling. Outside, he notices Karma hiding behind a tree but before he can determine what she’s up to, his stomach explodes from the inside.
