![]() ![]() In the wreckage left behind, Claudine is still barely alive, and is being watched over by the fifth Alice Clone – the new host of Essex. Laura, Alice and Gambit manage to escape the laboratory as it collapses and arrange for the children to be given new homes before setting off on their journey again. Laura manages to overcome Essex's presence in her mind, expelling it through force of will. The plan backfires when Essex in fact controls Laura's body and uses her to mortally wound Claudine again. She has wanted the healing factor since her stabbing, and hopes it will free her of Essex. Claudine then incapacitates Gambit and straps X-23 to a peculiar chair, stating her aim to switch their bodies – thus inheriting Laura's healing factor. He even manages to manifest briefly before being re-absorbed back into her. He is slowly killing her as a means of self-resurrection. She then expands upon her own origins, stating that the process of becoming what she is left her with vague, but invasive memories of Essex's life and that as a malignant presence within her mind. Revealing herself openly to X-23, Claudine explains that Alice is also a clone, fourth of a series of five created by Essex as another experiment alongside several other children that live in the complex. Encouraging them to follow her to a peculiar desert laboratory, Alice introduces them to her employer/owner/adoptive mother: Claudine ( Miss Sinister).

She also notices a symbol on her hand (Marjorie Liu promises that the symbol will be a long mystery). She awakes to find that there is blood everywhere but she and Hellion are fine. X-23 finds her inner "light" and banishes him from her mind. He tries to convince her to join him as his queen in Hell. He meets X-23 in the hospital and seemingly "kills" Hellion before diving into her mind. When brought back to the present, the fire was implied to be started by the devil possessing Wolverine. While they are preparing for the roller coaster to launch, Wolverine states he is adopting her as his daughter. Ī flashback opening the second chapter of "The Killing Dream" shows Wolverine and X-23 at a theme park. As she steps into the building, she suddenly experiences a vision similar to her dreams with the building on fire and her surrounded by dismembered corpses. He then tells her to visit a halfway house in San Francisco for former mutants who are trying to live normal lives. However, Surge's antagonizing of Laura forces Cyclops to intervene. She pleasantly surprises Hellion when she tells him she has missed him, and the two share a brief moment. The only ones who side with her are Dust and Hellion. ![]() A rift has arisen between her and her former teammates, who are now wary of her due to her having been a part of X-Force.
