All set in the present day, to stop difficulties with time differences between films.

Set at the time "Lost" has got up to in Britain("Fire + water" at beginning of first chapter, so no spoilers) so unrevealed info is based on what I think is going on.

Set just before the end of Episode 3 of Star Wars, with some characters still alive.

Post "The Last Stand" for "X-Men".

A knowledge of all of these is needed to understand the story.

I do not own any of these characters, unless stated.
