The X-Men attend the opening of Guy DeMondue's "Celebration of Mutant Kitsch" installation in Yerba Buena Gardens. Most of the crowd has dressed up like X-Men, or approximations thereof. There are also protesters due to the Sentinels being part of the installation. Suddently Magneto, his powers apparently restored, attacks the X-Men, chucking Colossus through the big round window in the SF MoMA and somehow activating the two Sentinels.; The X-Men fight the Sentinels, but Emma notices that the Sentinels strangely do not attack Magneto.; The X-Men defeat the last Sentinel and subdue Magneto. They learn that his powers were generated by his extremely high-tech suit. Magneto berates them as unworthy to save the mutant race, and teleports out. Storm spots strange lights at the Dreaming Celestial and we see the High Evolutionary doing something with it, helped by a mesmerized Kingo Sunen. She arrives to late to do anything, but somewhere in space we see the Evolutionary, Magneto, and Fred Dukes discussing plans on the bridge of a starship.; The X-Men give the Mayor a tour of their new headquarters and mutant embassy in the Marin Headlands. The Mayor warns them that Guy DeMondue is planning a "confrontational" art exhibit involving Sentinels.; With Emma broadcasting his thoughts to all known mutants, Scott announces that the X-Men are alive and that San Francisco is a mutant sanctuary.; Simon Trask uses the fact that both he and a bouncer appear to be Prime Sentinels to talk his way into a club. Pixie and her date are leaving a Dazzler concert amazed that she's back and has put on a great show. A group of men in a van see her and put on masks similar to those worn by Hellfire Club guards. They get out of the van with baseball bats and other weapons and prepare to attack Pixie.; Guy DeMondue, artist, unloads a Sentinel at the docs in the dark of night with Simon Trask.; Kingo Sunen, writer-director-producer-editor-actor of samurai movies decides to cast ex-mutant Freddie Dukes in his first ever science fiction film, set in San Francisco against the backdrop of the Dreaming Celestial.; Logan visits Guy DeMondue in his studio, only to find him dead.
