Divided We Stand - X-Men: Divided, Part Two
A strange force seems to be turning back the clock in San Francisco, returning the city and the people in it to the 1960's. Concerned for the safety of their teammates, Scott and Emma have cut their vacation in the Savage Land short to investigate. In Russia, Colossus stands at the graves of his parents, but doesn't find the closure he seeks. Drinking in a nearby bar, Wolverine cuts to the meat of what's bothering Peter... he longs for the days before his life as a mutant, and one of the Professor's X-Men. But when the trio step in to defend the bartender from local thugs, are they attracting more notice than they can handle?
