synopsis:
Following being grazed by a bullet on the African Serengeti, Storm
continues her long trek, but now is becoming more delirious due to her
injuries. When she is struck by a sandstorm she calls for it to go away,
and when it does she mistakenly believes that her powers have returned
and attempts to fly. She ends up falling down a hill, injuring herself
some more. She is visited by a vision of Forge, the man she could have loved
if it had not been for his invention stripping her mutant powers away.
He tries to convince her to find cover while the sandstorm continues to
blow, but she refuses and pushes on. She ends up tripping over her feet
and falling down in front of a viper. She quickly grabs the poisonous
creature and tosses it away before crawling away into a cave, wondering
if this will be the death of her. In the cave she is visited by visions of her fellow X-Men. She
bows to them in shame, feeling that without her mutant gifts she is
nothing to them. When Phoenix tries to comfort Storm, telling her that
no matter what she still loves her and all the other X-Men. Wolverine
comes next and tells her that if she wants to give up he is willing to
impale her with his claws to put her out of her misery. When the
Professor gives advice that she can stay in this cave and live safely
until she perishes, she lashes out, making the illusions go away.
