Description
In Madripoor, Susan Hatchi wanders around an exploded warehouse in search of her father. She doesn’t find him but she does find her half-sister, Karma. She aims a pistol at her head, just as her father appears and does the same to Susan. Surrounded by Susan’s soldiers, the three of them chat about old times and about him not being there for them. Over in New York, Kyle is visited by two agents from the immigration service who want to speak to Jean-Paul. Before they leave, they hand him a parcel that was hand-delivered to his building. Elsewhere in New York City, one of Susan’s agents releases the nano-worms into the atmosphere and calls Susan to let her know. Believing that everyone in New York City is about to die, she gloats about the fact to Karma. Karma tells Susan that her games are over and Susan turns to see the X-Men gathered behind her. She orders her agent to trigger the nano-worms and presses a button on the phone which should kill the X-Men simultaneously. Nothing happens and she wonders how this is happening. When Iceman then appears alive and well, Karma informs Susan that they played her and Bobby found a cure for her virus. Northstar takes out her soldiers and desperately, Susan turns to shoot her father, only for Karma to prevent her from pulling the trigger. Karma then gets inside Susan’s mind and shows her how it’s not just her who’s suffered. They both have. Convinced that she is not alone in this world, Susan and Karma embrace, only for their father to shoot Susan dead. As he is taken away by the authorities, he tells Karma to pretend he is dead. He is old and soon will be anyway. Later, Karma heads to a hotel to have some alone time. Wolverine calls in and hands her a letter which explains that she now owns Hatchi Tech. She is a billionaire. With everything that’s gone on, Karma isn’t particularly in the mood to celebrate her unexpected windfall.
