Gambit breaks into Vargas' stronghold in Valencia and after charming his way out of battle, manages to steal a jewel. He is unaware that Vargas let him take it because of one of Destiny's prophecies. While the X-Men are camping on a beach, Bishop is spirited to the Dreamtime by Gateway and is greated by Psylocke's spirit. Bishop realises that Gateway is his [great]grandfather but is not sure what the visions of a giant space needle are supposed to mean. Psylocke's spirit is suddendly stolen away by an unknown entity. The other X-Men arrive in the Dreamtime when Rogue manifesting the powers she once absorbed from Gateway, but only long enough to see the space needle. The X-Men then move on to Destiny's Valencia house. There they find legal documents listing all of her properties and holdings and transfering them to Rogue. They also find a locked box that should hold a diary, but instead they find that somehow Vargas has stolen it without opening the lock. And more disturbingly he has replaced it with the rose that Thunderbird had placed inside Psylocke's coffin.
