Destiny lets the wind lift and turn the restless pages, returning him to a page he had read a little over two years ago. Down a cold hallway, Bishop runs screaming for the resident doctor as he cradles Gambit in his arms. A gust of wind picks up the edges of the pages. In a dark laboratory, charged cards fly from Gambit's right hand as he leaps over the fallen body of the Marauder, Vertigo. Sweat pours down her face, and her eyes are wide in fear as she watches the turbulent, murky green depths of a cloning tank.
Destiny makes no move to stop the turning of the pages.
He only watches as the images continue to flash before him. Much of his nervousness can be attributed to a green gargoyle, named Gregory, who towers over him as it sips its tea delicately, with its pinky in the air. His expression is unreadable, though he is shuffling a deck cards. His other hand touches a black pearl pinned to his lapel. From the shadows, three women approach.
