Cable surrenders himself to Genesis so that his teammates can "escape." They are really telepathically told to find him through a conveyed homing beacon. Genesis plans to use Cable to siphon energy and become the next Apocalypse. Cable's team trashes the place, however, and Cable opens his heart to his son. Genesis sees the truth but cannot commit to returning to America with Cable. The fortress explodes and a mysterious figure crawls from the ashes.
