New Mutants: Truth Or Death # 3 - The Decision!

Cypher readies Illyana for Mikhail to teleport the dormant Legacy virus cells out of her body. But the experiment goes awry, and they have to rush her to the ICU.

Sam wakes in a cell with the rest of the elders. He touches Douglock to the

containment field, shocking him awake, and they rouse the others.

Mikhail vows to remain a villain. He tells the youngers that Illyana is free of the virus. Doug is suspicious and investigates, learning that she was

originally healthy and Mikhail actually infected her, under the assumption that her mystical self would develop an immunity whereas her de-aged self could not.

(Mikhail is infected and needs a cure.) Doug also learns of his own death.

Young Rahne sneaks off to free the elders, but Mikhail stops her. They free themselves and attack him. Illyana and the youngers confront Mikhail with the

truth, and he ports away.

Karma wipes the youngers' memories as they port back to the past. The elders

reminisce and visit Illyana's grave.
