A suffocating silence grips the Baxter Building. A cosmic predator, the Star-Eater, has anchored itself to Earth, demanding the infinite reality-warping energy of young Franklin Richards to refuel its dying core. Reed calculates a zero-percent chance of survival if they fight, leaving the family to face an unthinkable ultimatum: surrender their son, or watch the solar system collapse.Driven by a mother's fierce, unilateral love, Sue Storm makes a desperate choice. Deep within Reed's laboratory, beneath the hum of containment fields, she secretly recalibrates the cosmic siphon. She programs the machine to masquerade her own unique psionic energy matrix as Franklin's. It is a fatal deception; the machine will drain her life force down to the last drop, burning out her soul to satisfy the entity and save her child.
