Plot Summary
With his last burst of power, Kevin decided to change his reality, and managed to transfer himself to a different universe, one where he’s loved, resulting in his supposed “death” in Earth-617.
Kevin found himself back at the Muir Island Research Facility in a severely weakened state. At the cemetery on the facility grounds, Kevin was drawn to the corpse of this universe's Kevin MacTaggert, who had died in childhood. Kevin possessed the body and transformed it into an approximation of his own, changing the body from that of a small child to that of a grown man.
Searching for both help and revenge, Kevin would stumbled his way to the door of the Muir Island Research Facility where he encountered both David Haller and Moira MacTaggert. Despite the fact that Kevin was on the verge of collapse he tried to attack Moira physically, causing Haller to reach out to grab him. This triggers Haller’s psionic abilities to give him a read on Kevin, and Kevin soon collapses, falling unconscious to the ground. Through his read on Kevin, Haller was able to ascertain the connection between Kevin and the version of Haller in Kevin's home-universe. This connection also granted Haller some knowledge of Kevin's home-universe and the horrors that Kevin had faced there.
Haller took Kevin back to his apartments, realizing that keeping Kevin elsewhere in the facility would be a bad idea. Following a night spent remembering past horrors, Kevin woke in Haller's bed and was confused by his current state. Haller helped Kevin bathe for the first time ever, teaching the other man how to shower.
Over the next few days, Haller realized that Kevin could not stay at Muir Island, and announced to the mansion that he would be returning with another inter-dimensional traveler.
