Feeling him fading just as they enter the edge of the Milky Way, she slumps a bit in Adam's arms. Her chest on fire. "Are you okay?" "I will. We are almost there. I just have to hang on. This isn't the first time. Watch him for me." "Why, why are you helping me?" "Because despite everything, you are still my little brother. Holding their brother in his arms, the boom occurs as they begin reaching the speed of light.


Landing gently, he keeps his grip on Gabriel. Seeing that a group is quickly approaching them. "What, what's happening?!" "You are home, Gabriel Summers." Seeing their destination, her willpower leaves her. She hits the ground hard. Upsetting the still gaping wound, she begins bleeding again. Groaning from the pain, she finally passes out; just as Alex touches the ground, releasing Scott. The rest of the Summers behind them.

"RACHEL?!" "We have to hurry. She is in worse shape than she appears. She feigned things very well." Adam tells them. "And him?!" He shrugs his shoulder at this. "Whatever you all seem like you want to plan, he is under her protection. "Well, we better make it quick. We don't have Wanda, Bennet and Danny to channel their chi and magicks to speed the process up for either of them. And Warren is on Earth, Jean."

"What exactly do we do then, Scott?!" "Hope, you and Charles go with Cable. Bring Angel back. The rest of you help me get things set up in the infirmary. Lorna, can you halt things in the mean time?!" His sister-in-law, takes to the air, narrowing on their energy signatures. She stabilizes them the best she can, levitating as they make their way to The Summers House. "And don't, wait until we get to the infirmary before pulling that out of her, Aunt Lorna." Rachel and Nate tell her.


"OW!" Groaning accompanies it. "Woah, take it easy there!" Helping her sit back. "Warren, ?!" "He's fine. And you shouldn't be talking either; you are still healing yourself. Thankfully, you are the two Summers who can survive such things. Both too stubborn. We had to strap him to the bed; he tried to leave just like you. And she really loves him. She had been adamant on leaving with their child until that point.

Yes, she believed you. But being around, those one has only ever seen as enemies can't be easy. The harm his resistance could have caused, made her acquiescing all the easier. But I hope to never have to get into a fight with your little brother. Even with his chest and stomach having been exposed; he almost managed to overcome us. It took her to actually calm him."

Taking the seat next to her, "hey, I get it. You will stop at nothing to attempt to fix the mistakes you have made; the people you have hurt." Laying her hand on his as his head is bent. "It is hard I get it as well. And while it will never make things right. At least, for almost the entire time you would go on benders, it was due to another's manipulations. And not of loyalty to someone you love with everything in you."

She turns to face the other wall. "The things I had done, had been willing to do for Apocalypse; just for Scott's sake. The Phoenix saved my life. If it hadn't come to me when Nemesis almost succeeded in killing Wanda Maximoff; the things I would have continued to do?!" Tightening his hold on her hand, "but you see that is what makes you so incredible." His other hand touches her cheek in order to face him.

"You and your niece, the both of you have seen some of the most horrible things. And while you both protect yourselves emotionally; neither of you are so jaded that you don't allow forgiveness and compassion from happening. It puts the rest of us to shame really." Sitting up a little more, "you aren't giving yourself enough credit, Warren.

You haven't changed. You have still remained the same. I know that we have never been close. But I remember how kind you were. Sure, you lived in Apocalypse's citadel, and helped him. But that wasn't all that you were or are. I never bothered before; but I get it now. I never really bothered before. And I am sorry about that.

You never let your money, influence and prestige make you into a snob. And I am sorry for all the ways, he tried to twist you; but Apocalypse never knew who he had been messing with. Grossly and completely underestimating you." Staring at her curiously, this entire time. "You still don't get it. Oh, come off it. Betsy sees it. And she wouldn't fall for someone as jaded as she. Yes, there was that one moment between her and Scott. But we both know due to Kwannon's confusion, that didn't really count.

And sure, my Warren fell while trying to take a stand when Apocalypse killed Karma. But you were a sheep that managed to survive among wolves…I know it is a bad analogy. Here this might make more sense." Opening her mind, he sees a memory that she has kept hidden. "I…I?!" "See, you are no different. And while nothing came of it, I am glad for Sinister engaging me to you.

You could have easily turned my husband in. Instead, you did your best to console him. Apocalypse or The Human High Council would have no doubt have loved to get their hands on him. Or my brother, surely with the knowledge at your fingertips; you no doubt knew he had turned against Apocalypse's cause." Sitting back further, "so you see. This is what Betsy, Paige, Wanda, Candy and even Jean saw in you. You don't have to fear hiding that heart of yours. You are more than the monster Apocalypse made you."

The two remain sitting in silence. She patiently lets Warren take in the gravity of what she has told and shown him. Their hands still in the others, continuing to solidify support for the other. "And you know these scenarios you have been throwing yourself into lately. It worries them. Yes, they are concerned just like you. But losing you hurt them greatly. You already know this. So, don't get why you don't see the value they place in you; or if you do why you choose to ignore it?! If you think I can find redemption and rectify my mistakes, surely you can also?!"

Looking down at her lap, "how are Paige, Anabel and my brother?" "Paige and Anabel are fine. In fact, Paige thinks she is pregnant again." "I am glad then. I would like to see my brother, sister and their child now." "You are in no condition to move. Yes, even telekinetically. You may have managed telepathy. But actually, moving isn't recommended at the moment." "Well then, I guess someone will have to carry me then. I am refusing no as an answer."

Her arms remain around his neck; as he holds her in his arms. "I didn't expect Warren or my family to play this dirty." "Come now, my belle. We all know your stubbornness. I was the only clear choice. Besides, being weak as a kitten, still makes it easier to manage your power level; if you choose to escape from me." "Like I said, dirty."

He lays her on the chair as they near the bed. The machines rising and falling with Gabriel's breaths. The other woman remains quiet in the chair opposite of them. Remy remains standing behind Rachel. "Cal'ysee?!" "He is fine. He is just sedated. When he first awakened, his confusion caused quite the commotion." "I know. I heard. And how is?!" "Cal?!"

Her sister gets up. "Vulcan. It is okay now." Turning to see Rachel and Remy, he recoils slightly from his wife. "It is okay, non, mon ami?!" Placing his hand on her shoulder, she covers it with her hand. As the other one, reaches out to Gabriel, who takes it. Deathbird's rejection beginning to become palpable. "Gabriel, how much do you remember?" The flashes start coming back to him.

He starts to get up. "Remy?!" Just as Cal'ysee puts her hand on his chest, lightly pushing him down. "My love, please?!" "She is right, little brother. Listen to her." "I don't understand; why did you help me?!" Putting her hand against his forehead, before running her hand through his hair; he closes his eyes enjoying the gesture. "Just because we are enemies or were; you are still my brother. You really thought I would have left you to suffer that alone; though I am not happy you killed our father?!

Come, they have been waiting. Remy, get Rachel, Nate and Cable and my brothers please. Cal'ysee and I will make sure he doesn't move." She turns her head away as the couple have a moment. Imaging for once in her life how things would have been if they had never fallen from that plane. And had managed to make it to her grandparents. "Would we have still been as happy; would we have even met them?!"

Jean, Rachel and Lorna appear first. "It is good to see both of you are up and about for the most part." Nate, Cable, Hope and Dane come in with Scott and Alex behind them, pushing two wheelchairs. Remy and Warren finishing the group. "Aunt Rachel!" The green haired boy stops next to her chair. "Mom and Dad wouldn't let me in before.

"I was scared." Taking him in her arms gently, "your Uncle Gabriel and I are fine now. We are glad you are here. We are going to see your cousin." "None of us have seen them except Uncle Scott and Aunt Jean; what are they like?!" "That will be the surprise. They were taken before even Gabriel and Cal'ysee could see them."


Standing in front of the cylinder, the black making it hard to see inside. Rachel stands right in front of it, remaining motionless. "What is she doing?" "She is creating a psychic link." The babe stops what it is doing, putting its hands against the glass. A smile on their face at seeing her. "That's right. I am your Aunt Rachel." The fire bird perched on her arm speaks.

Connecting the two, "and these are your parents, they have been longing to meet you." The child turns their gaze looking at them. Their smile brightening even more. Continuing to use the barrier for support, they stand. "He wants to know his name." Gabriel and Cal'ysee stand in front of it, looking down at him as he stares back at them.

She stands in front of the circle. Warren and Remy walking toward her. She keeps the pink energy in her hand. "Clarice, Remy, Warren, thank you. And give our regards to Ana and Paige. Hopefully we can return soon." Nate and Rachel Grey standing next to each other. Cable and Hope in the middle. Scott and Jean on Nate and Rachel Grey's other side.

Alex and Lorna at the other end with Dane in between them. Rachel standing next to them with Cal'ysee and Gabriel next to her, holding their son. The bandages still evident around their chests and stomach. Gabriel and Alex put their arms around her. "What now?!" Looking to space's horizon, "we do as we always have, Rachel. We persevere." Scott putting his arm around Jean's shoulder. As Lorna leans her head against Alex's shoulder. As Nate looks to his sister and Hope takes Cable's hand. "And wherever they are so too will Katherine and Sean. We will find them, Rachel."
