Description
Northstar and Kyle’s wedding reception is in full swing, but Bobby Drake is thinking about Karma. One hour ago, Karma is walking through town, struggling to maintain control of her own mind. Ten days ago, Karma is with her two siblings and Kitty Pryde at the American Museum of Natural History. As the children look around and take photographs, Kitty realizes that something is preying on Shan’s mind. Shan reveals that she feels like she is realizing more and more how much she has lost over the years. She is feeling increasingly alone and that her life is a mess. As they leave the museum, a woman trips on a step and Karma catches her and, unbeknownst to Karma, she infects her with nanobots. Karma then receives a phone call from Logan, who asks her to meet him. Kitty takes the children and Karma heads off to meet Logan, who is with Iceman and Warbird. He informs her that they have a situation so they’re heading to Gambit’s place to talk about it. Warbird decides she wishes to walk, so Karma goes with her and Iceman comes along for safety in numbers. As they head towards Remy’s apartment, Warbird spots some mercenaries in the trees and charges of towards them. In the present, Karma arrives at Northstar and Kyle’s wedding, not understanding exactly how she came to be there. She is approached by Susan Hatchi, whom Shan recognizes as the woman who she caught on the steps ten days ago. She tries to fight Susan’s mental control but Susan explains that the nanobots she infected her with means she owns Shan. Asking why Susan chose to grab her, Susan informs her that she likes using power and owning it. She is surprised that Shan doesn’t recognize her. Shan suddenly remembers who she really is and then attacks Susan. As they fight, Logan approaches and Karma runs towards him. When Karma within a few yards of him, Susan activates a remote control and sets off an explosive inside Logan’s stomach, blowing him apart.
