Description
Professor Xavier and Cadre K board a Shi’ar outpost on the fringes of the Shi’ar Empire, only to find the entire crew dead at the hands of Deathbird. A temporal portal opens and Bishop, who is somehow anchored to Deathbird, crash-lands in the ship. Deathbird finds him just as Xavier finds Deathbird. She uses him as a shield against Cadre K. Deathbird escapes into the lower parts of the ship, leaving the unconscious Bishop with the very shocked Xavier. Bishop wakes up and is also surprised to find Xavier. Xavier telepathically learns of Bishop’s whereabouts during the last year and informs Bishop of a dire threat on Earth. The galactic powers, including the Shi’ar Empire, have transformed Earth into a penal colony for the most dangerous criminals in the universe. Z’cann, a member of Cadre K, has been taken prisoner and Xavier needs a key to get an agent past the barrier and on to Earth to aid the X-Men and Earth’s other heroes. Deathbird has that key. Bishop and Xavier search for Deathbird and find her. Bishop finds himself in a position where he must kill Deathbird. Deathbird hands over the key to her one-time love and opens an air lock, which sucks her out to an unknown fate. Bishop closes the airlock, retrieves the key and agrees to be Xavier’s agent to be sent to Earth.
