Previously on Wolverine and the X-Men.

Charles!

Jean!

With Charles and Jean, you know, unaccounted for,

I just can't think of anything else.

Hello. I'm Warren.

Emma Frost.

Yeah, I know who you are.

Question is, why are you here?

I can find Professor Xavier for you.

The simple fact is you cannot operate Cerebro without a telepath.

My X-Men, I come to you with an urgent message.

Come to us? From where?

The future.

The coma you see me in right now,

it will last for 20 years.

I've just awoken from it, and the world I found is a nightmare.

Thank you.

Logan...

Logan...

Logan.

Charles?

Charles.

Don't be alarmed, Logan.

We're still at the Institute,

but this is what you might call a meeting of the minds

on the astral plane.

It's through here I'm able to communicate to you from the future.

It's really good to see you, Chuck.

And you, my friend.

I only wish I were bringing better news.

Why? What's happening?

I need to show you something.

This is Africa in my time.

Twenty years ago something terrible happened here.

Twenty years? You mean now?

It was a catastrophe so fierce that no one on the continent survived.

What could have done something like this?

Not what. Who.

It was Storm.

That doesn't make any sense.

Storm would never attack Africa.

I know. All I can say is she did,

and at the cost of her own life.

You must find her, Logan, before it's too late.

I will.

I don't think we're alone.

How'd you get in here?

Hmm... Well, you know the security code,

and I'm telepathic. You tell me.

We don't need spies in the X-Men, Frost.

You're out of here as of now.

You'll need my assistance.

No, I won't.

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be any climate abnormalities.

In fact, there's hardly a cloud in the sky over all of Africa.

That means whatever's gonna push Storm over the edge

hasn't happened yet.

We gotta find her, Hank, fast.

That will require the use of Cerebro, which means...

I know, Hank.

And she'll want something in exchange.

I know, Hank.

Your attempts to manipulate me are demeaning.

If I perform to your satisfaction, you favor me

by extending my stay here.

If I assist you, that ends now.

I'm manipulating you? You showed up at my door

and traded your telepathy for a spot on the team.

Who's using who?

I found the Professor for you.

I've earned my place with the X-Men.

And just like the others, you have to continue earning it every day.

But you trust them.

Because they've earned that too.

Trust is a two-way street, Logan.

Find yourself another telepath.

Fine.

I've located her.

What is next, Abasi?

The southern crops, Your Highness.

And later there is the celebration.

Another? Did we not just have one?

The village looks forward to again honoring you for your generous bounty.

So be it.

Scott, are you in there?

You should know we're all heading to Africa.

It's Storm. She's in trouble.

I thought Logan said not to even bother with him.

He did, but the Scott I knew

would have been first on the jet.

Come on.

No!

No, no, no. No, no, no, no. I just got her back together.

Okay, this is only a test run, right?

Sort of a take her around the block and blow the carbon out kind of thing, right?

Nope. Africa.

Africa? But that's...

But you guys...

Oh.

Be gentle.

Yeah, right.

The first scratch is always the most painful.

So now you can relax.

Thank you. Your gift is well-received.

Your gift is well-received. Thank you.

Your gift is well-received.

Thank you.

At long last,

we meet again, little street thief.

Now that you have finally returned to your master.

Your Highness, what is wrong?

No. No!

Go. Return to your homes.

Who are you?

You do not remember me, Ororo?

I was like a father to you.

Where is the rest?

This is all I could get today.

You scabrous little cheat!

You're holding out on me.

No, I was delayed.

I ran out of time.

What is more important than earning your keep?

I have a friend.

As if anyone would care about a thieving reject like you.

He says I am more than just a thief.

Then he fills your head with lies.

Who is he? Tell me!

- I will not. - You will.

His name is Xavier.

You will pay for this, you ungrateful beggar.

And then so will he.

Your power over this child ceases now, Farouk.

Ah. So the friend is a telepath.

Then pit your powers against mine, trespasser.

Because she is my property.

Farouk! But you were destroyed.

Only my flesh.

My spirit lives.

As the Shadow King.

What do you want?

To see you wander aimlessly without a home.

Now watch as I burn your precious Africa

to the ground.

No!

Your Highness, what are you doing?

Run, Abasi. Run from the fire!

But there is no fire.

That's it, Ororo.

Unleash the elements.

Try and save your homeland

before it is lost forever.

It's begun and it's expanding at an alarming rate.

Hang on.

You are failing, Ororo.

Give it more.

Give it everything you have!

Heads up!

Bobby!

Keep going. They're all right.

Stay behind us.

Diamond? It would have been nice to know you could do this.

It's not my favorite form. It prevents me from using my telepathy.

There she is.

- Shoot her down. - Are you insane?

It's her or Africa. You choose.

Wait. Take a shot at me instead.

- No! - Storm.

Listen to me.

Storm, can you hear me? You've been deceived.

Fire is not what's destroying Africa. You are.

You're doing it.

Frost, what's happening?

Someone's invaded her mind.

Shadow King.

He's made her believe Africa is burning.

Trespasser.

Can't you stop him?

No, he's much too powerful.

But she now knows the truth.

Let it go, Storm. It was all a lie.

No!

It's over, Shadow King.

You used her up.

Her strength is gone.

Then it will be you who finishes her.

- Emma, what's happening? - He's exchanging bodies.

Keep him out.

He cannot survive without a host.

No!

Shame. And there's not a host body to be found.

It is difficult seeing him like this.

But it kind of helps knowing that he will wake up.

Then we must ensure that when he does,

it is a future worth living in.

So, you're staying?

My place is here,

alongside my family.
