Mutants could leave the concentration camp with the inhibitors to do errands.

But if they didn't come back in the exact time superhuman mutants had said they would a Sentinel robot would question mutants about not coming back in time and use their computer brains to figure out if the mutant was lying:_ -Richards- the-Phoenix-Two's husband Frank- the-Psi lord -Richards cried out, Rachel: get away: quick: ahh!

The beam blast of electrons came down: striking Frank-Richards and destroying Frank-Richards's body.

_The-Phoenix-Two screamed: no:_one Sentinel pulled open the top of the metal sewer pipe.

The Sentinal revealing a sewer chamber of stone.

It was a chamber with many crossing giant sewer pipe tunnels going through the giant chamber.

Full of giant Sentinel robots:_while the-Phoenix-Two and the grown up Rasputin-the-ShadowCat went off to the side into a recessed New York doorway to a business with barred windows: where nothing could see them up the street: so that the-Phoenix-Two could concentrate to psychically send the-Shadow-Cat's spirit back through time.

My upper body swings forward into a sitting position from where I lie now in my bed's sheets.

My name is Rachel.

That is my nightmare.

That is my reality: more or less: or at the very least it was in the past.

A reality in my future too, perhaps.

I have this nightmare every night.

The details are always different but the gist remains the same.

If Marvel Girl Summers doesn't do something during the day-time to change the future then when today ends and the Witching Hour comes: tomorrow will come and all will be darkness.

That tomorrow awaits the X-Men.

God help me I am a mutant.
