Orwell showed up and the bartender recognized them, pulling a gun on them. Hoffman zapped him, before blowing up the bar. Back at home, he had some more liquid courage and awaited Marshal's strike.
After talking about the failed origins of the Brotherhood with Orwell, he gave the surviving members of the London Cell (Fagin, Asher and Malon Reeves

While things got ugly for the other Brotherhood members at the X-Force parade, Hoffman was able to trap Marshal with help from Ms. Fingers, another Brotherhood member. As Asher dropped from the sky, Hoffman scoffed that the last Judas was gone, but Marshal said he was a fool if he thought that, as Orwell cracked a brick over Ms. Fingers' head. Marshal told Hoffman his plan to become X, the leader of the Brotherhood, but X fired a blast at him which inadvertently hit Orwell. While X and Marshal came to blows, they didn't notice a stream of Mike Asher's blood streaming to them until it was too late. While looking over their remains, U-Go Girl
wondered aloud if this was "The end of a revolution?".
