This one wraps up the Mercury Falling story-line. Jullian and Laura have gone to the Facility to break out Mercury. But they've gotten there just after they've bonded Mercury's skin, on these mutant hunting monsters. And to get that skin off of Cessily, they've been severely torturing her. So that by the time Jullian gets to her, she's just a puddle of goo, mercury actually, at the bottom of her holding container. And then the "Hunger Dogs", for lack of a better word strike. Julian and Laura do end up defeating a couple of them, although it takes their combined might to do so, but one of them escapes. They don't show it exactly, but I think that Cessily figured out that she can reabsorb them also. Which is probably more why the one fled, than fear of being hurt. Also the rest of the new X-men show up, including Emma and Scott, to help their teammates in their fight against the rest of the Facility. They capture a lot of employees, but Harkins escapes also. And Cessily can still feel the animal out there. They share a bond, I guess, since he's in her skin. Literally. At the end we find Kimura on a grassy knoll getting ready to take Laura out. But Emma finds her and messes with her mind a bit. Emma knows about the trigger scent, and is working on removing that from Laura's conscious. But while she's with Kimura, she decides to remove some of her memories, that she holds dear, to mess with her and cause some of the same suffering she had planned for Laura. Also at the end of this issue, we see the return of . . . Illyana, Magik. Cool beans! I really like the direction that they've taken with this new book. And I just think that the whole creative team is doing a bang up job.
