The Beyonder is back at Owen Reece's apartment, and he's frustrated by everything that's happened to him. He releases bolts of energy that blast through the cosmos, wrecking everything in their path. Owen tries to calm him down, fixing all the Beyonder's damage with a flick of his finger. Taking a cue from his own long-running therapy sessions, he asks the Beyonder to talk it out, starting with his "childhood." Still sitting on a couch and easy chair, they go to the Beyond-realm. To help show Owen what it was like when he first discovered the rest of the universe, he recreates the pinhole portal that leads to our reality, exactly as he first saw it. When Owen looks through, he sees himself, at the moment he got his own powers! The accident that made him the Molecule Man is what made the Beyonder aware of our own universe, and thus started the entire subsequent sequence of events!The Beyonder's ego is a bit bruised by this revelation, but he continues on with Reece's therapy session. They talk about what he has learned since coming to Earth, which in hindsight looks like a series of failures. His anger increases.When they return, and Owen reassures Marsha that everything is fine, the Beyonder snaps back that if he's unhappy, then nothing is fine, because everything in the universe is what it is just because he wills it to be like that. He believes fulfillment is impossible. Owen counters that he is fulfilled in his life with Marsha. Perhaps the Beyonder might try a more vulnerable, everyday existence, like Owen's life? The Beyonder rejects this idea and says he's coming back in 24 hours to destroy everything.He goes off to a hotel and spends the night with a random waitress whose mind he controls, an act more befitting his more immature, wastrel period, before he met Dazzler. He is regressing to a more emotional, self-absorbed personality. He starts an earthquake just to show off to the waitress.The X-Men, who happen to be in town, attack him because of the earthquake....
