Peter has nightmares about Illyana. The X-Men decide it's okay for him to go to her, even though it may blow their cover. He appears right before she completes a necromantic spell that would have totally corrupted her. He decides to pretend to be the summoned shade of himself. It seems that a demon posing as Baba Yaga has the New Mutants and is going to eat them. Colossus, being cold iron, has little trouble kicking the snot out of her, and S'ym as well. He goes home, but not before reassuring Illyana that it's her actions that define her as good and not her evil nature as the Darkchilde.
