Panel 1
Jenny waking up in her new bedroom. Currently still filled with Franklin’s “toys,” the kind of science projects you’d expect from the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm.

CAPTION: I don’t envy her. Even if her circumstances have drastically improved.

Panel 2
Jenny looks around the room as if she still can’t believe this has happened.

CAPTION: She’s about to find out that even when the world finally gives her something, it’s still taking away from her, too.

Panel 3
Franklin, a few years younger than Jenny, is barging in happily with a breakfast tray. Jenny is surprised and astonished.

CAPTION: There’s so much she doesn’t know, and no one knows where to begin. Sue told her the basics. She knows who her father is, now. She thinks she knows everything. She doesn’t know the half of it.

Panel 4
Sue and Reed are standing at the door smiling proudly as Franklin sits on Jenny’s bed, watching her eat, a grateful expression on her face.

CAPTION: Yesterday she was alarmed at the possibility that she was a mutant. Today she’s not thinking about it at all. I don’t blame her. But she’s still in danger.

Panel 5
Sue and Reed have entered the room as Franklin and Jenny have started throwing toast at each other. Reed and Sue are still smiling.

CAPTION: I didn’t have the heart to tell Sue what I had in mind when I set this in motion. She alone among the Avengers trusted me, stood up for me when the whole world recoiled in horror, all over again, at the very thought of mutants.

Panel 6
Sue and Reed have joined Franklin and Jenny on the bed.

CAPTION: Because of the plague.
