What if Rachel Summers...?

Description

My entry for the most recent (I think) X-Jam over at the Comic Book Resources forums. That's why I had to go with a white background. This time the theme was What if...? The back story for the pic went as follows:

Based on Earth #8720 - (Original Series) New Mutants #48

In this world Scott Summers never had a romantic relationship with Madelyn Prior, thinking it was just to wierd to get involved with someone who looked so much like Jean. When Jean was ressurected there was no impediment to their relationship and it wasn't long before they were married and had a daughter named Rachel.
During this time an alternate reality son of Jean and Scott arrived. Nate Summers came bearing a warning of a distopian future where Sentinels ruled and mutants and other superhumans were confined to terrible concentration camps. Sadly, the warning wasn't enough to stop the rise of the Sentinels, but it did give mutants time to form an escape plan. They would teleport mutants to Lila Cheny's Dyson Sphere!
The evacuation took a huge toll on the X-men. Almost all the older members of the tean were killed, including Scott and Jean. Still, many mutants and their famillies were rescued, teh X-men in the end being lead be Dani Moonstar, Sam Guthrie and Nate Summers.

Rachel was raised by Christopher Summers who left the Starjammers after the death of his children. Life for Rachel was pretty good growing up. Sure there were occasions when the rescued villains staged uprisings and tried to take more than their share, as well as the occasional attempted alien invasion, but overall it was pretty peaceful
They knew it couldn’t however and Rachel joined a faction that wanted to return to Earth and destroy the Sentinels. This put her squarely at odds with her own boyfriend, Quentin Quire, who had a more conservative take on things. It may nor matter.

The Sentinels are coming.

Note:

IN NM #48, the time traveling New Mutants are told that no one they know is on the Dyson Sphere. This means everyone they met prior to the Mutant Massacre is dead. Rachel is an exception because this Rachel didn't travel back in time.
