While some of the X-Men & Nurse Palmer try to save the poisoned Nightcrawler's life, his mind takes him through many strange scenes in which he meets familiar faces, many in older costumes. Don't miss the pirate ship sequence or Emma's dialogue as she tries to pull him back from the brink of death.

Guest-Starring: Christine Palmer and Wolverine
Cameo: Beast, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Iceman, Storm, and Vermin
Flashback: Jimaine Szardos, Margali Szardos, and Stefan Szardos
Villain: Vermin (stooge, true villain as yet unrevealed)

Kurt and Logan have gone to Wizeldorf in Bavaria, Germany with Nurse Palmer tagging along. We see scenes from Kurt's toddlerhood and adolescence, including a waterered-down version of how Stefan made Kurt promise to kill him if he ever turned evil and took an innocent life that was revealed in X-Men (first series) Annual #4. The Szardos are erroneously referred to as Kurt's "step", instead of "foster", mother/brother/sister. Stefan's name is misspelled "Stephen". Kurt's old circus may be in terrible trouble.
