Brief Description:
Several years ago, Cyclops was taking a vacation away from the X-Men, and visited Cambridge, Massachusetts, where a large robot was wreaking havoc at the university. Cyclops intervened, and discovered a disgruntled former professor of the university controlling the robot with a helmet. Cyclops fired an optic blast, knocking the helmet off the professor, Tierney, who was taken into custody. One of the students was so overcome with gratitude that he rushed up to Cyclops, thanking him for saving him, as his wife was expecting their first child. His name is Paul Douek, he was the man who was responsible for the unstable Tierney getting fired, and hopes that he can do something to repay the favor to Cyclops. Ten years later, Paul Douek is looking for a midnight snack in his fridge, when the young time-displaced Cable appears before him. Cable reminds Paul how Cyclops saved him, and now he needs that favor repaid. Cable shows Paul, a brilliant scientist, the Phoenix cage, and explains that he needs him to build a new one, about an inch big, and that he has two years to do it. Cable then vanishes. Two years later, Cable and Paul are on Muir Island in the pouring rain, watching the X-Men mourn Cyclops. They got into a lab, where Cyclops' body remains, and cut into his chest, where they place the small device which Cable explains will trap the Phoenix Force inside Cyclops. In the afterlife, Cyclops meets Jean Grey. They kiss, and part of the Phoenix Force is transported inside Cyclops, becoming trapped in the device that was placed inside him. Several weeks ago, Cyclops uses and optic blast to burst through the ground where he was buried on Muir Island. Cable and Paul are waiting for him and take him to Cable's undisclosed safehouse. Cable explains to Cyclops what has happened, and Cyclops thanks Paul for saving him. One week later, Cyclops is getting angsty, he wants to get out there, back into the world, but Cable tells him that he isn't ready. Another week after that, Tierney is released from prison and seeks vengeance on Paul Douek. After Cable returns the time-displaced original X-Men to their true time period, he explains to Cyclops why the older Cable is gone - because he refused to keep the timeline secure. Cable breaks down about Cyclops' death, telling him that succumbing to a virus was not the way he should have gone, which is why he went to such lengths to restore him to life. Cyclops tells Cable that he can't keep him here, that there are people who need him. Cable tells Cyclops that he needs to prove something - and informs him that right now, Professor Tierney is seeking revenge on Paul Douek, while the X-Men are battling X-Man - and if they fail, they will be no more. Cyclops is confused as to why Cable would make him choose between the two, and Cable tells him that he needs to know what type of man has come back from the grave. Cyclops arrives at Paul's home and easily defeats Professor Tierney once more. The next day, Cyclops and Cable arrive at the island where the X-Men were battling X-Man, and find it deserted. Cyclops reminisces about his actions since the fateful battle with the Avengers, and admits that he was wrong. He then vows that he will find the X-Men and set things right.
