Synopsis

Hank's condition continues to deteriorate after being put through Norman's Omega Machine which messes up mutant powers. Hellion and his followers stage a protest and the Dark X-Men are sent to bring them in. Cyclops meets with Osborn and tells him to depart San Francisco and leave the mutants alone. The Dark Avengers duke it out with Norman's X-Men team for dominance. Emma is angry at the way the mutants are being treated and demands to see the subjects of the Omega Machine. Even though Xavier is right in front of her and pleading for help, Emma fails to see him due to Dark Beast's holograms.
