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.
20 years ago something
terrible happened here.
20 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, 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.
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.
Hyaa!
No!
Shame, and there's not
a host body to be found.
It is difficult
seeing him like this.
But it kinda 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.
Wolverine and the X-men.
