The Brotherhood makes its play against Senator Kelly. Kitty's future self, which is in possession of her present body, helps the X-Men defeat Mystique and her crew (thus changing the future). As soon as Kelly is saved, Kitty's psyche returns from the future to her own body. A month later, in response to the attack, Kelly puts Gyrich in charge of a top-secret Sentinel program called "Project Wideawake."
Publisher’s description
In the present, the X-Men fight against the Brotherhood of Mutants. In the future, they battle the deadly mutant-killing Sentinels. And linking these two worlds, these two desperate battles, is Katherine Pryde. The fate of mutantkind is in her hands!
