Synopsis
Two Girls Out To Have Fun
While the X-Men say goodbye to Storm, Rachel and Magma enjoy Manhattan when they run into Selene. Finding that they both have a bone or two to pick with her, they stalk her to the Hellfire Club where she more or less forces Sebastian Shaw to accept has as Black Queen of the Inner Circle. As a thank you, she takes Amara and Rachel prisoner and hands the brainwashed girls over as gifts. Rachel still is free within her mind and manages to enter Magma’s mindscape to provoke her into using her lava powers, shaking both of them free and causing a real earthquake. The X-Men are alerted and join them and the two girls are free to go. Elsewhere, Jaime Rodriguez tries to get rid of the cursed necklace but is mugged and killed and his killer inadvertently releases the evil spell…
