She'll find him soaring over the Rocky Mountains, in discussion with Rick while returning to Los Angeles.

"I still don't see why you are so protective of this broken nation's system, Rick. Noh-Varr may have the right idea. Doesn't your constitution include the right to abolish the government once it no longer serves its intended purpose?"

Genis! Moondragon yelled in Captain Marvel's mind. Your sister discovered you altered reality and now she has gone mad.

Captain Marvel is jarred out of his thoughts. Heather, as usual, is abrupt and abrasive.

"Wait, what?"

No, hold on. Telepathy.

Wait, what?

Ugh. How typical of Genis.

Moondragon was finally in sight now.

I'll show you.

Through the psychic link Genis could see and hear Phyla's violent reaction to the truth, up to the point where Moondragon blacked out.

The psychic link also relates Heather's pain, and Phyla's pain, directly into his mind.

"Phyla has gone mad. The one who was so certain of how to talk ME away from madness..."

"It must run in the family." Moondragon replied dryly. "You can angst over this after we prevent her from repeating your failure."

"No. She'll have an altogether different failure. She's too smart to repeat mine."

"Wonderful. Then we must find her."

"You know her better than I do," he says, and that may or may not be true.

"Any idea where she might have gone?"

Or must he use his cosmic awareness to find her trail?

Moondragon knew Phyla when she was sane. Insanity played too often upon subconscious thoughts and feelings, which Heather had not allowed herself (nor been allowed) to pry into, but she could take an educated guess.

"From the way she was talking, she may be taking steps to undo her existence."

"But... that's crazy. Her existence isn't hurting anyone..."

"Yes, insanity does make you crazy. I believe we have gone over the basics enough now it is time to take action."

"Fine. Let me try and locate her trail."

He leans his head back and starts to access the power of his negabands. If she's lost it, she's likely not covering her tracks very well. He'll probably be able to get a good sense of her.

Judicious. Cautious. Focus on Phyla. Don't think about the future messiah being murdered somewhere or anything...

Two faces rise up to meet him. Faces he knows all too well.

Entropy. Epiphany.

It's the end of the Universe.

No. Grozit, no.

"She is repeating my mistakes."

Find calm. Find it.

"I'll bring us to her."

Universe-wide teleportation will take a lot of power. Careful.

Careful.
