As Cable recovers, the rest of the Unity Squad can't keep Deadpool from continuoously roaming the hospital in violation of his doctor's orders. Meanwhile, Beast completes the partial lobotomy on Red Skull and gives the telepathic part of Charles Xavier's brain to Rogue. Soon Captain America arrives to take the Red Skull into custody and demands the brain, whom Rogue refuses. Things start to get tense until Rogue explodes out of an outside wall with it, flies straight up and asks for Human Torch to join her.
High above the clouds, Rogue tells the torch that it's time to send Charles home. With a burst of fire from his fingertips, Professor X gets a touching sendoff. Johnny gives Rogue some privacy as his ashes are scattered across the sky and she revels in the sunlight in Xavier's honor one last time. Back in the prisoner transport van, a crushed Red Skull asks his Hydra servant Captain America how he could let them do this to him. As the SHIELD motorcade departs, Wasp tells the team she's gonna need a vacation. They ask how Rogue is and Johnny Storm tells them she's gonna be ok.
Later they all go to a bar to celebrate their disbanding. Wasp takes her leave while Deadpool pulls out a bottle he's been saving for when Wolverine came back. They all give toasts and Wade sneaks out for a walk. Rogue sneaks up on him and asks him if he hates her for the beating she gave him when she was brainwashed. He tells her no and she picks him up and flies high up into the sky. There she plants a big kiss on him and absorbs his sickness. He tells her she deserves better. Speckled with his scars, she tells him she doesn't care what she looks like. As she envisions the horrors that's made him who he is, they keep making out. Somehow Wonder Man materializes and asks Deadpool for an explanation. But stammering and unable to give him one, we're left to be continued.
After it was explained the X-Men would be reforming en masse, I assumed this book was on it's deathbed. Duggan decided to give his favorite character ever Deadpool a girlfriend. How that plays out I guess we'll see. As he's been a part of the X-family for so long, there's no reason to think they won't be taking Wade Wilson back to Westchester. I just hope they do it the right way. For this issue, I give it a 9/10.
