STORYLINE – Not a Cloud in the Sky

Members of the X-Men, X-Force, and Generation X are all gathered around playing a game of baseball. The teams are the Stormers and the Wolvsters, led by Storm and Wolverine respectively. Storm is up to bat, and she hits a homerun, running all the way around the bases until, just as she nears the home plate, a Sentinel appears in the air.

The teams jump into action, and Cyclops blasts it so it hits the power lines nearby. The Sentinel tells it’s life story, as it is somewhat sentient as it dies, and Jubilee begins to cry. Cable and Wolverine begin to argue over Cable’s son’s death, but Cyclops, Rogue, Jean, Storm, and Caliban manage to brighten the day and they all go swimming instead.
