Cable #16 - Marvel

Ok, the question that keeps occurring to me is this . . if Cable is stuck so far into the future, and he's got these 2 celestial cities on the horizon, why can't he find the parts or the tech to pirate something to fix his time-sliding device? I mean, he built the thing afterall, so . . he should know how to fix it, or how it works and what parts he needs. Or is that technology even farther into the future than he is right now? It's just a question I have. Anyways, when X-Force took off last issue, Hope ends up pulling a bit of a childish act. She sensed a kinship with some of the people from her own time, so, as a child, when they go to leave, she thinks that she wants to be with them. Nathan is getting ready to slip into the future, and she pulls away from him. He's only powered up for a second, so they've only ended up like 2 years apart. But still, as a father, Nathan feels like he's let her down. He knows that she's got to be in the general vicinity . . there's no place else for her to go, but . . at the same time he's a bit disabled because of using up the last bits of his TK energy in his fight with Stryfe. Therefore, he's becoming ravaged by the techno-organic virus that fighting it's way through his system. And then . . Bishop shows up. But he soon realizes that Nathan is near invincible right now, plus . . Hope isn't with him. So he goes back into the past. Meanwhile, in the past Hope has made it to one of the cities. She's looking for food, and shelter. There she meets a boy, and over the course of time befriends him. But the issue ends when the boy sees his father close by and calls out to him. It ends up that he's a soldier, and the leader of his little platoon is Bishop. But all Cable has to do is find her. Hopefully she survived, and yes she'll be 2 years older, but . . at least he wouldn't have let her down. But first he has to survive himself. Paul Gulacy takes over the pencils on Duane Swiercyznski's story this month. I think it's a good opening chapter, but it appears that both of our main characters are in over their heads right now. It doesn't look good for either of them.
