  Emma Frost and Layla Miller link minds with a number of earth's heroes and show them that the House of M is not the "real" world. This is especially hard on Peter Parker who is living an ideal life with Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben, two of his loved ones who are dead in the reality he comes from. As the heroes gather and try to figure out what to do about Magneto and his new mutant world, Logan's old SHIELD unit arrives and begins a battle. Layla zaps Jessica and her team and converts them to her side. Magneto, feeling an impending sense of doom, visits the Xavier memorial.
