Excalibur arrive in Israel where they meet with Sabra to help investigate strange goings-ons involving whom they suspect to be Legion, however when they arrive at the location of the destruction, they learn it is Legion’s three personalities, hovering between life and death. Excalibur and Sabra do not really get on, as she already knows plenty of personal information on them after reading up on them, and challenges Nightcrawler’s leadership. By the end of the battle though, Sabra appreciates Excalibur’s cohesiveness and team work, while Meggan convinces the personalities to pass into the other side. Sabra gives Excalibur a disc of information on a “mutual friend” and they part as new friends Colossus and Shadowcat, who sports a new uniform, also share a moment of friendship. Sabra re-tells the adventure to officials at the Mossad who want to know if Excalibur would be sympathetic to their cause, and get concerned when Sabra mentions she promised Excalibur information, assuring the officials she never gave it to them. Meanwhile, on Muir Island, Moira MacTaggert informs the Beast and Cecelia Reyes that her quarantine has ended and she is taking a sabbatical from her research into the Legacy Virus, while Wolfsbane tells Douglock that she will never forgive him for ending the quarantine.
