Published on October 29, 2021, in the US magazine X-Men No. 4, a story titled 'A Dream' reveals the potential consequences of Cyclops' hidden secret.
As the X-Men face off against the villainous Nightmare, Cyclops' personal struggles come to the forefront. His relationships with Jean Gray and Emma Frost are strained, and he's forced to confront the possibility of losing his son, Cable.
However, the dream takes a darker turn when Cyclops is seen being killed by Sentinels, and Krakoa is shown burning due to a lie he told Professor X and Magneto. The issue ends with the X-Men's headquarters in flames, and Cyclops' coffin bearing the plaque 'Cyclops was wrong.'
Despite the defeat of Nightmare, the story leaves the fate of Cyclops' secret and its potential consequences for the X-Men and Krakoa unresolved. The tension between Cyclops and Professor X, who have differing visions for the mutant nation, adds to the sense of unease.
