“Don’t say the ‘F’ word…it’s just a fluffy toy way of saying ‘necessary support network for an individual.’ Some of us, the weak among us, desire human warmth, encouragement, and affirmation. Someone to pretend to listen while we whine about our day. We are animals, we need sex…so we take partners. And when we get tired in life we take on a life partner. Their siblings being an unwanted complication. We become aware of our mortality and so we squeeze out children. We pat ourselves on the back for our ability to ‘give life’ when any drooling biological organism can procreate. An amoeba divides…there’s no ‘little house on the prairie’ altruism in this world, Reed. Every human interaction is a transaction. We find those who will give us what we need and we cement long-term ties with them as a result. And you call this family” —by Daken.

“Messiah War” is a crossover storyline running through the issues of Cable and X-Force with cover dates of May through July 2009 as well as a one-shot titled X-Force/Cable: Messiah War. Writer Craig Kyle describes it as being the follow-up to Messiah Complex and “the middle chapter of what I think will be a major three-part saga, which will continue to define and redefine the X-Universe moving forward”.
X-Force travels to the future to help Cable keep the Messiah child alive and safe from former ally Bishop and Cable’s evil clone, Stryfe.
“There’s always a point, I tell myself. A reason things happen the way they do. There has to be. Or then again… maybe there doesn’t. Maybe sometimes things just happen and there’s no point and nothing really changes. The bad guy toy with us for no real reason… and then just gets away clean. The people we fight for just go about their lives… as if we were never even there. We’re not meant to know the why… or the how. We just play our part and disappear. Come tomorrow I know I’ll be right back out there, cracking jokes and shooting webs like the best of them… but today I don’t feel much like jokes. Today I’m just gonna sit and wait until some of this starts to make sense. Until some kind of point finally up and reveals itself. Until I figure out whatever it is I’m missing. Just gonna sit here and wait… something tells me I’m gonna be waiting for a while. And ultimately… all for nothing.”

“Chances are we’ll always drive each other crazy, Peter. We’ll always butt heads. We’ll always be opposites. But from here on out, we’ll always be something else as well.”
