Synopsis for 1st story

Reprint of the 1st story from
House of M #3
Wolverine's entire life from the real world flashes before his eyes, up to when Professor Xavier brought up the subject of what to do with Wanda Maximoff. Mystique attempts to ask him what's wrong and suggests that he see Madame Web if there is a problem. Instead, Wolverine jumps down into New York City below. Once he makes a hard landing, he reads a newspaper detailing the House of M, before stealing a motorcycle to locate the Xavier Institute. However, he soon finds that the Institute is just a mansion with a family who have never even heard of Xavier. Wolverine then rushes off to a telephone booth near a diner to locate Xavier or Peter Parker; amazingly, for the latter, he learns that there is a fan club. He then notices a group of mutants harassing a female Sapien. Angrily, he pops his claws and advances on them. Some time later, he arrives back into New York to contact Tony Stark at Stark Tower. Unfortunately, Stark is not in the tower. Worse, the Red Guard, having been ordered to bring him in by any means necessary, has tracked him down; they include Jessica Drew, Toad, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Mystique. He makes a run for it. As he escapes on his motorcycle, he runs into Cloak, who teleports himself elsewhere. On the other side, Wolverine recognizes Luke Cage, among the other Humans (Homo sapiens) in the room. Cage asks that Wolverine take out the tracking device in his neck. Even more surprising, the once deceased Hawkeye emerges out of Cloak to demand that he complies.

Synopsis for 2nd story

Reprint of the 1st story from
House of M #4
In Genosha, King Erik Magnus is walking the courtyards of his palace, when he meets one of his grandsons, who presents him a model ship he created with his mind.

Hawkeye demands that Wolverine remove his tracking device. When the latter asks that he calm down, the answer is an arrow shooting through his neck, causing blood to spill on the floor. As Cage and Hawkeye argue, Wolverine's healing factor enables him to recover within thirty seconds. Just as he chastises them for not taking the tracker soon, House of M-type Sentinels storm their hiding place, killing all they see. Cloak is barely able to recover what was left of Cage's group, including Cage himself, Felicia Hardy, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Danny Rand, etc, into Kingpin's empty office. After Cage explains that they were curious how the S.H.I.E.L.D. Red Guard's star agent went AWOL. Wolverine explains how he remembers that reality was warped by Wanda Maximoff to make mutants the dominant species of Earth over regular humans; Cage tells him that the Wanda of this reality is human; Wolverine also tells Hawkeye that Wanda killed him in the normal reality. When asked how does he remember, he answers that his greatest desire is to remember every detail of his life that was mostly mind-wiped. Only Xavier could have found that out and Wanda must have granted his wish. Cage is willing to believe him, all because of the girl, Layla, who also knows that this reality is wrong, showing him that his real life is suppose to be with Jessica Jones and his child. Wolverine guesses that she must be a special mutant to realize this. He then asks for a phone book.

Cloak teleports everyone into the Summers Residence; Wolverine is more surprised to find that Cyclops and Emma are married. When Emma walks in, she uses her telepathy to place commands in everyone's heads to be quiet. However, she stops at Wolverine, finding that he actually knows her. Confused, she looks at Layla, whose powers awaken her unconscious memories. Shocked at the reality of their situation, Emma declares that they will find Magneto and his family and kill them for causing them. Popping a can of beer, Wolverine tells her that they need to find more troops to accomplish this and if they do, it doesn't mean that the world is screwed for good.

Synopsis for "Season of the Witch Part 2 of 4: We're not in Kansas Anymore!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Uncanny X-Men #463
At Braddock Manor, Marvel Girl and Psylocke are about to face off with a Sentinel when a flash of light alters their clothes and personalities. Betsy now reasons that the Sentinel is extra security for her brother's party. The two ladies enter the manor along with the other regal guests and are introduced as Princess-royal Elizabeth Gloriana and her lady-in-waiting. Lady Rachel telekinetically manipulates their clothes to better suit the party, while they are greeted by Brian and Meggan (king and Queen of the realm.) As the night passes, Brian has a terrible nightmare in which pieces of his mission to save his dimension are revealed to him. The next morning he gathers his wife, sister, and her lady-in waiting and tries to make sense of these visions. Then Brian's private secretary, Pete Wisdom, walks in with a visitor. Brian attacks his childhood friend Courtney Ross, thinking that she is the tyrant Opal-Luna Sat-Yr-9. Fortunately, after a short battle, Brian realizes it truly is Courtney Ross but no one can shed any more light on his confusing situation. News from MI-13 reveals that two mutant fugitives are being perused by the Marauders, and Brian intends on investigating. In the West Country Juggernaut is engaged in battle with all the Marauders. After a struggle he is finally subdued, but the bounty hunters are confronted with Captain Britain and his group before they can search for Nocturne. Rachel and Betsy sneak off in search for her, unknowingly perused by T-Rex, when they reach an abandoned house. The girls search for the invisible Nocturne in the darkness, where she cannot escape Rachel's telepathy. Nocturne is captured by Betsy's telekinesis but quickly escapes and tries to possess her. Unable to do so, Nocturne is shot back down and pleads for the women to not harm her.
