Synopsis for "Carnage: Part 1"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Ultimate Spider-Man #60

Curt is having a nightmare where he was the Lizard again, and that he went into his son's room to kill him. He calls his ex-wife Doris from his apartment to ask if Timmy is okay or not. On his desk is a letter from Jim Rhodes stating that to continue receiving a grant from Stark Industries, he has to present his research results ASAP. At the same time, Peter is swinging towards a museum where Gladiator is demanding police captain Jean De Wolfe to free someone named Nurhachi or he will kill the hostages inside. Peter is wondering why his name isn't "Spider-Boy," especially when he sees how much taller Gladiator is than him. Peter manages to stop him, but is cut by his blades in the fight. The police then storm the place, and aim guns at Spider-Man's head. A hostage says that Spider-Man saved them, and Jean orders them to put the guns down. Spider-Man then swings away.

Curt is let into his lab at ESU by the guard, Willie. When he enters, he sees Peter unmasked, bleeding, and asking for help. Curt says that he isn't that type of doctor, but that he owed Peter one for the Lizard situation. Conners bandages Spidey up as he swings off to get home. Curt puts a cotton ball in the blood that Peter left on his table. He examines it through a microscope and is clearly impressed by what he sees.

Synopsis for "Cry Wolf: Part 2"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Ultimate X-Men #51

Wolverine awakes, his face still damaged from the attack made by Gambit. He stands up and tells the rest of the X-Men that he is going after Rogue before he loses the scent. Iceman looks to tag along but is stopped by Colossus as he is not one of the adult team. Iceman refuses to listen to them, telling Kitty this does not concern them and he is going after the one he loves.

In a dark cell, Rogue wakes up to find Gambit playing Solitaire, waiting for Rogue to gain consciousness. Rogue attempts to get Gambit to remove the handcuffs she has been placed in. Gambit knows of Rogues powers, understanding that if those gauntlets come off, she is free to touch him and get her way out. As they chat, Gambit gets closer to Rogue. It is then Rogue reveals that her powers do not only work through her fingers. She goes in and kisses Gambit, stealing his memories and powers. She fills her gauntlets with kinetic energy, hitting Gambit away and blowing them off. Rogue escapes her cell only to find her surrounded by a swat team, ready to take her down. Rogue uses the deck of cards she took off Gambit to fight through the team making her way to a window leading outside. As soon as she breaks the window, Rogue discovers she is on one of the top stories of the Empire State Building.

At the Xavier School, the team, minus Wolverine and Storm, reassemble, Xavier attempting to locate Rogue or Gambit. Xavier cannot though, wondering if the people who took Rogue are protected against psychic intrusion. Jean offers to help, believing that with both their minds, they can create a more direct search. Xavier agrees this is the way to go, kicking everyone but Jean out of the room.

Back at the Empire State Building, Rogue is approached by Andrea and Andreas von Strucker, two mutants who have a shared ability. They explain to Rogue that they are the co-presidents of Fenris International and are wanting Rogue to join them as one of their spies to ensure them economic empowerment. This group would help Rogue with her powers as well as her accent, making her the perfect tool for Espionage.

On a nearby roof top, Storm catches up with Wolverine, who has lost the scent of Rogue and needs the wind to pick back up. Storm fulfills Wolverine's request, creating a gust for him. Wolverine tells Storm that he sees Rogue as a younger sister as they both had been used and abused by the same groups. He should be there to protect her so that she does not have to protect herself. Storm tells Wolverine they both have changed since then and they are all in a better place. As Storm makes the wind pick up once again, they embrace in a kiss.
