Synopsis for "Truth or Consequences!"
The government contacts Forge asking his help in creating an arsenal of Neutralizers to combat the Dire Wraiths. Forge refuses for fear that they would be used on mutants as Gyrich had done when removing Storm’s powers. Elsewhere, Rom watches over a sleeping Brandy Clark who awakens from her nightmare to realize she has been stripped of the Starshine armor. Rom leaves the disconsolate Brandy and comes across Rick Jones and Cindy who are dealing with their own nightmarish issues. Rom decides to confront Forge himself and goes to Texas. The Wraiths decide to move to prevent Rom and Forge from working together and attack the populace outside Forge’s headquarters.
