Phil Sheldon bumps into Wolverine who tries to bum a light; Phil turns him down
and meets his daughters, Jenny and Beth, at Rockefeller Center for Christmas. They
are unaware they are standing by the X-Men, also enjoying the holiday.
Suddenly, Sentinels appear, hunting the mutant heroes. Banshee and Storm take
action, ascending into the sky to take on their mechanical enemies. Phil gets
his daughters to a position where they can watch, almost safely. When the
ruckus is over, they see a new hero, Nova, arrive to rescue people trapped in
the rooftop restaurant. The girls snap pictures and asks they dad if this is
what his job feels like. Recalling all of the things he’s seen, he explains
“It’s scary. It’s exciting. It’s thrilling. All of it at once.” They head home,
Phil wondering how he’s going to explain to their mom why he let them stay and
watch.
