Synopsis for "The Helix Of An Age Foretold"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Wolverine (Vol. 2) #101

Story continued from Uncanny X-Men #332...

While the X-Men are busy fighting off the stone creations of Ozymandias, Cyclops is tossed down a long pit centered by an obelisk with carvings depicting visions of the future. Ozymandias has also grabbed a hold of Wolverine and is about to toss him into the pit when the feral mutant stabs the stone-man with his claws and dives down after the plummeting Cyclops. With Ozymandias creating too much psychic static, debilitating Phoenix, Logan might be the only one who can save Cyclops.

As Scott falls down the pit he tries to break his fall with his optic blast, but it does little good. While on the surface, Jean, Cannonball and Iceman are surrounded by Ozymandias and the last of his creations. As Cyclops falls, he strikes his head knocking himself out. Wolverine swoops down to catch up to Cyclops and pushes them toward the wall, using his body to cushion Scott from anymore injury and manages to grab hold with his claws. Licking Scott's face, Logan manages to revive him and when Scott looks over at the obelisk he is shocked to see a carving of the Professor during depicting him as he appeared during the early days of the X-Men. This makes Cyclops wonder how long Ozymandias has been recording the history of mutants on Earth before blacking out again. Wolverine begins climbing back up carrying Cyclops along the way.

Pulling Scott above, they become easy targets to the sculptures prompting the other X-Men to focus on defending their friends. They are soon over powered, and as they are struggling to stop these creations, Elektra arrives. She secretly dives in and kicks two of the statues over the edge sending them falling to the ground. Ozymandias begins tossing rocks all over the place, Jean is burried under rock and when Cyclops tries to go after her it sends jagged rocks after him. Wolverine dives in the way and blocks the sharp objects from striking his fellow X-Man. Cyclops blasts the stone man shattering him into pieces.

This causes the castle to begin crumbling, and Wolverine helps his fellow X-Men get it together and escape while Ozymandias crumbles to bits despite Jean's attempts to try to hold him together telekinetically. Getting to safety, the X-Men try to see if Cyclops is okay. When Wolverine instinctively tries to defend Cyclops it takes Jean to calm him down. Cyclops explains to the others that he saw down in the pit and wonders what it all means to their future. With that said, the group decide to leave because Wolverine is starting to act up, unaware it is because he has detected Elektra in their proximity. The X-Men depart, and Wolverine gets help out from his long time teammate Cyclops.

Synopsis for "Unspoken Promises"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Wolverine (Vol. 2) #102

As Wolverine sneaks out of the Xavier Institute and hitches a ride to New York City, Elektra relates to a turning point in her childhood.

The story is about the gardener Stavros, that worked for her father who she would find out was a mercenary during World War II who killed many. How he had learned the horrors of war and began to learn that each life is precious. He had taught her some hard lessons and she would learn that he came into her fathers employ when her mother was brave enough to summon him by pointing a gun at his face. When a pair of assassins attempted to murder her father, Stavros would kill the elder assassin but it would be Elektra who would convince him to spare the other, whom would realize his youthful folly and devote his life to working with Stavros.

As she is relating to this story, a young woman tucks her eldest son into bed and kisses him goodnight before going out for an evening stroll with her baby child. The young boy wakes up and sneaks out of the house. By this point, Wolverine has wandered near a blind homeless man asking for change. Puzzled by this, Logan would sit on the opposite side of the street and watch him. When the boy's mother would come by, she would give Logan a nickel, mistaking him for another panhandler. Logan would be confused by this offering.

Meanwhile, the boy would meet up with a friend of his who is a drug dealer and after making some sales would get into a firefight with a rival dealer. The rival seemingly shot dead and a number of innocent people, including the blind old man. Sending Wolverine in a fury and set him after the two attackers. Wolverine cuts down the elder gunman and when he sees the younger boy running away Wolverine turns to go but the kid turns back and shoots him in the arm. Logan chases after him into a subway station and the boy accidentally falls on the rails trying to shoot Logan again. This pulls loose a medallion which has a scent Wolverine recognizes.

Logan jumps onto the tracks and saves the boy from an oncoming train, and the boys gun is lost in the commotion. On safe ground, Logan gets a close sniff of the medallion and recognizes it as that of the boy's mother. Logan then points out that his mother was in the middle of the cross-fire and just barely avoided getting shot. When Wolverine passes out from his gunshot wound, the boy at first tries to flee but his guilty conscience makes him turn back and help Logan back on his feet.

This leaves him open to an attack by the rival drug dealer, who survived that attack thanks to a bulletproof vest. Before he can shoot the boy or Logan, he his struck in the back by a sei thrown by Elektra who has finally decided to reveal herself to Wolverine. Seeing that Logan has someone to look after him, the boy rushes over to his mother who is now talking to police. However, before he goes Logan tosses the nickel back to the boy that his mother gave him earlier in the evening.
