The X-Treme X-Men

The team of Storm was still in her tasked to unfold the remaining pages of Destiny's journals. They found out that the journal was a trap. There they meet another entity villain named as Khan. The entity kidnapped the Gambit and Rogue. They fought for him to rescue the fellow X-men. In that battle Bishop was badly injured and he almost killed Sage for that rescue. In an unexpected event they got a hand by a sibling not knowing that they were mutants. Heather Cameron tried to sacrifice her life to cover Sage but with that moment she was able to transform like organic-solid gold like skin. And his brother later knew that he can be a latent liquid figure out from himself, his name is Davis Cameron. Later the siblings temporarily joined the team but after a short while they have decided to leave their affiliation as X-men.

Slipstream (Davis Cameron), an Australian who can generates a "warp-wave", a funnel of trans-spatial energy that swallows up him and any passengers to transport them over vast distances, sensitivity to displacement energy signatures enables him to track other teleportation effects back to their origin from residual energies, hover board

Lifeguard (Heather Cameron), an Australian capable of bio-morphing adaptability enables her to assume any characteristics necessary to save her life or that of others nearby, including metallic armor, gills, additional arms, and wings

Thunderbird III (Shaara) is an Indian pyrokinetic, who can create large plasma blasts. During his time with the X-Treme X-Men, he struggled with the same difficulty the X-Men's Havok did years before - his fear of killing or hurting someone with his incredibly powerful plasma. For a time he was seen working with Lucas Bishop, another mutant with energy-related powers, in an attempt to overcome his fears and gain greater control over his powers. During this time, it was revealed that his plasma, however powerful, could not burn through adamantium, a testament to the metal's already impressive durability. He had a brief relationship with Betsy Braddock, which ended when she was slain by the swordsman Vargas. Thunderbird left the X-Men in connection with Psylockes’ death, along with Lifeguard and Slipstream and has been seen sporadically since.

The team gets to Valencia, Spain, where they all get attacked the local guardia forces. Rogue is shot into the sea, while Storm, Bishop, Beast, Psylocke and Thunderbird are caught; only Sage manages to escape.

The five captured X-Men deal with everything that the Civil Guardia throws at them in their examining Maze, but they get separated.  Rogue, is then attacked by Vargas, who defeats her. Beast and Psylocke come to the scene, and again Vargas easily beats Hank, breaking many of his bones.

Only Psylocke is left standing. In the following battle Vargas kills her by running his sword though her gut. Vargas claims that she was only the first and leaves to let the rest of the team find their beaten comrades.

Following their battle with Vargas, Psylocke is really dead and Beast mortally wounded. by Vargas who is neither mutant, nor superbeing, yet something more than human. To save the Beast from dying Tessa uses a never before seen power. She can perceive mutants' full potential and temporarily bring it forth. It strains her a lot, but she boost Hank McCoy’s healing factor so that he is able to survive his injuries.  Storm also sends the Beast back top Westchester as he is too weak and would only be a liability.

They manage to free themselves and leave to inform their teammates about their adventure, taking the unconscious Red Lotus with them. Storm and Thunderbird locate Viceroy’s children, the Cameron siblings, but evil forces are close behind. Criminal gangs want to seek and destroy the Camerons and eliminate any heirs to Viceroy’s empire. Sage becomes a target as well when her old allies from the Hellfire Club reenter her life with a vengeance.

Storm and Thunderbird save the Camerons’ lives by defeating assassins and Heather Cameron reveals herself as Lifeguard, a mutant with mysterious power. The Camerons learn the truth about Viceroy and their blood ties to the local criminal underworld. They decide to help the X-Men put an end to the death and destruction.

Sebastian Shaw and Lady Mastermind imprison Sage within an impressive illusion, intending to brainwash her back into the Hellfire Club.    Red Lotus fights Sebastian Shaw to a standstill in a valiant effort to rescue Sage, but it may take a miracle to save Sage’s mind, as she trapped in Lady Mastermind’s illusionary world.   In the X-Men’s apartment, Storm is visited by an astral image of Jean Grey.  Jean warns Storm of Cassandra Nova and that she might have infected the teams at the school with some strange illness, so they should consider the mansion quarantined. In the next room the catatonic Sage is still trapped in Lady Mastermind’s illusion.  Sage suddenly reaches out to Heather, whose Lifeguard powers activate as she is pulled into the illusion as well.  Lifeguard manifests new abilities for every new threat that Mastermind throws at her, but her power is limited to only reacting and she can’t hope to defeat her foe.   Finally Sage and Heather return to the real world, where Tessa apologizes for taking over Heather’s body and risking her life.

The X-Men are attacked by a hulking creature called Shaitan. Gambit and Lifeguard, under Storm's orders, attempt to escape with the ruby but are attacked by Shaitan who teleports them all away. Desperate to follow and rescue their abducted friends, the X-Men allow Sage to use her abilities to unlock the latent powers of Davis Cameron. He manifests the ability to access a Warp Wave teleportation power, and Davis takes the team to Madripoor, where they are greeted on Madripoor by its current ruling princess, Viper. She leads the X-Men to a temple where Shaitan has Gambit tied to an altar surrounded by the gems of the Madripoor Collection. The X-Men attack Shaitan, but not before he successfully activates the gems and, using Gambit's energy powers, opens a portal from which emerges an immense red energy-laced tower. Also emerging from the portal are alien combat troops. The X-Men rescue Lifegurad and capture the troop leader before, at the behest of the still captive Gambit, they withdraw.

Madripoor‘s Air Force is being attacked by the invaders aircraft’s and the X-men try to help them best as they can with Rogue, Thunderbird and Bishop shooting aircrafts out of the sky, and Lifeguard catching both human soldiers and alien invaders as prisoners alike, though minutes later, the Viper executes the Alien Invaders that the X-Men had just captured, except for Khan, who Storm jumps on to protect him from the bullets. Rogue disarms the Viper and the X-Men escape when an alien aircraft is spotted trying to find their missing soldiers. Storm places Bishop in charge and wants to take Khan elsewhere, but Viper attacks Storm from behind while the rest of the X-Men escape. Viper wants to finish her earlier execution and attacks Khan, but is defeated by him. Khan orders Shaitan to call a medivac for Storm because he wants to save her to become his Queen...

Davis Cameron sits and is saddened by his life since becoming a mutant. Thunderbird, noticing his pain, tries to comfort him. Later, Rogue leads an attack against soldiers by using her new mutant powers. Khan carries Storm to his ship through the portal that links his ship to Madripoor on Earth. Khan tells Shaitan that he will make Storm his Queen and calls for a Skinwalker. The Skinwalker, a black liquid substance arrives in a canister, which Khan pours onto Storm. Then the alien transfers itself onto Shaitan, transforming him into a Storm look alike. Khan sends Shaitan after the other X-Men and then tells his physicians to save Storms life. Later when Storm asks Khan to stop his attack on Earth, he tells her no that he will conquer Earth and her at the same time. Storm tells him that she will not be conquered...       

Sage makes her way to a control room and she causes security breaches all over the tower At the same time, Lifeguard, Bishop, and Thunderbird, posing as Royal Shi’Ar and consorts gain access to the Damage Control central.  While all this goes on in space, on Earth Rogue faces off against Vargas, and his servants Thaiis and Thais. Finally Vargas reveals his motives as he shows Rogue a page of Destiny’s diary that has Rogue stabbing Vargas with his own sword. Rogue distracts him with Cyclops’s optic blast, and Slipstream teleports in, plucks Vargas from the area and takes him above the temple that Gambit is trapped in. Yet Slipstream’s inexperience costs him as Vargas manages to slice across his back with his sword, almost killing him. Vargas crashes into the temple where quickly disperses the entire troop of Khan’s army, and plans to take on Gambit, who finally releases a charged piece of rock he had been hiding in his fist. Outside Rogue saves Slipstream from drowning in the swamps as suddenly the temple collapses, apparently killing Gambit, though saving the universe from Khan’s invasion.

Jean enters the astral plane and heads for Storm’s spirit world, where she is surprised by the beauty of Storm’s soul. Turns out that Ororo deliberately took the chance to meet her deceased parents in the afterlife, before she returns to her body, after she introduced her best friend Jean to them. At the same time, Rogue heads to Gambit‘s spirit world, where she tries to convince him not to die. Gambit thinks that it is a good day to die as he just saved the world, and he is willing to step into the light. Yet Rogue drags Gambit’s astral form back to the land of the living.

Rogue approaches Gambit, and she tries to comfort him over his recent revelation that he has also lost his power along with hers. The two decide on not leaving one another, as they want to take their relationship day by day and see how it all turns out. The next morning, as Jean and Storm finish doing the dishes since they stayed up all night talking, Kitty says her good-byes and leaves to head back to college. The two friends are left alone in the kitchen when they are startled by a noise outside. As they investigate, they see a motorcycle and Gambit and Rogue inform their friends that they are planning on leaving for a while to explore their relationship further. Neal and Heather also decide to leave together to hunt down Heather's brother and to make sure he is all right. Jean watches the four of them go and is shocked to see how their day has begun. Jean decides that it is their time to leave and Logan offers to stay behind to help Storm in her recuperation and they agree. As the other members leave, the three members of the X-Treme team that are left discuss their future plans.

A long break was in order, and the team (now joined by Cannonball ) headed to Valle Soleada, California, where they got together again with Gambit and Rogue, who had left earlier after they had lost their powers.

The X-Men stop a bombing attempt by a young woman named Marie D'Ancanto, who lost the rest of her family to the actions of mutants. She also claims that she was pressured to sell her house, like many other people in her neighborhood, who all had recurring nightmares until they signed the papers. The entire area was turned into a district exclusively for mutants.

Sunspot and Empath follow news reports of Marie being put on trial; they even talk to the governor on the phone, asking him to make her an example, as to stop similar hate crimes from happening. The same day, Marie, currently powerless and owing a house in the area, finds herself under attack by Revenant, the mutant responsible for the nightmares. When a lawyer offers to buy her house, Marie secretly follows him on a bike, only to see him enter the X-Corporation L.A. building.

All three, Empath, Magma and Sunspot, are in tears, but unable to break out of their torture scenario. The next day, though, they don't remember anything of it and Sunspot announces to the press that the situation will be rectified and that the lawyer was acting without his permission.

Sage of the X-Men knows that there must have been more to it and continues to investigate, while Sunspot and Magma meet with some of the X-Men and their friends to talk about old times. Meanwhile, Bishop is attacked and defeated by Bogan's mystery telepath, a female hidden in shadows.

Sage reveals to her teammates that Bishop let himself be captured on purpose to lure Bogan and his telepath into making a move. Well aware that they will brainwash Bishop and use him against them, the X-Men decide to split up - one team to keep Bishop and other to deal with the telepath. To exactly pinpoint Bogan's headquarters, some catacombs beneath the X-Corporation building, Magma helps with her geothermal awareness of the Earth.

The X-Men receive further help from X-Corporation members, Sunspot and Skids. The group splits up and the first team (Skids and Sunspot among it) quickly engages Bishop in a battle. At first, they seem to win, until they are knocked out by Bogan's mystery telepath. The second squad (including Magma) meanwhile prepares to enter Bogan's headquarters. Sage, Shadowcat and Magma combine their powers to enter Bogan's base from underground. However, inside, the other team, now all mentally controlled by the telepath, meets them. Just when all seems lost, Gambit and Bishop overcome their brainwashing and the fighting starts anew. In the confusion, Sage slips away to the heart of Bogan's base, only to be found by Magma, now under Bogan's control.

Although Magma encases Sage in a block of molten lava, she has enough free will left not to kill her. The X-Men and their allies reassure their trust in each other and eventually all of them shake off Bogan's influence. They even manage to free the mystery telepath - it's none other than Rachel Summers.

Meanwhile, in Crawford, Texas, dignitaries from around the world met at the ranch of the United States' president to discuss their politics on the rising mutant threat. Storm talked to some old friends and allies among the guests. Colonel Vazhin and Val Cooper made a unique proposal of giving her team diplomatic power over mutant affairs all over the world. After a bit of thinking on the official's part, Storm decided to illustrate the threat some mutants could pose. Storm's gamble worked and her new project was given a green light. Her X-Men became the X-Treme Sanctions Executive (X.S.E.). The core members of the team formerly known as the X-Treme X-Men had a variety of adventures together and formed a strong unit as a result. Encounters with the planet conquering Khan and the misguided Revered William Stryker left the team reeling. A break was in order, and the team headed to Valle Soleada, California, where they got together again with Gambit and Rogue, who had left earlier after they had lost their powers.

And the Storm's teammates went back to Westchester, New York and help them rebuild it after two tragic events. But Gambit and Rogue went to Valle Soleada, who wanted to stop for being superheroes or leave a normal life and have a normal family. They were powerless at this time after fighting with the inter-dimensional warlord Khan.

They returned home and started helping to rebuild Xavier's school in Westchester after that riot, but they have kept their special X.S.E. status at the same time. And Storm just learned that her best friend was killed on that event. The core of Storm's team was left largely intact, although Gambit and Rogue were lined up with Havok's team as the X-Squad team as advised by Cyclops when the coupled returned, to be replaced with Nightcrawler and Wolverine, as much as his busy schedule allows it. Although now based at the mansion, the team kept their responsibilities as members of the X.S.E, with Sage having her own "Cyberpath" room to monitor mutant situations from all over the globe, and alerting her team, when intervention is necessary. However, the X.S.E soon learned that despite their badges and new responsibilities, they are still looked upon with disdain by the local authorities.

With the help of Sage she was able to restore the power of Rogue and while Gambit is also undergoing his secondary mutation, and when recharging his cards blinded him after an explosion. Also Sage was able to help Gambit in restoring his eyesight after a few weeks. The couple went back to Valle Soleada. And Kitty Pride leaved the group again and wanted to be a politician and wishing to end up being a mutant.

Also Daniel Moonstar and Karma together with Northstar became new teachers in the school. And Cannonball joined his fellow X-Force teammates in X-Corporation Europe.

A long-overdue game of baseball is nearing its end. The two teams are led by Storm and Cyclops, with Storm’s team fielding. Rachel Summers (Marvel Girl II) pitches at Emma Frost and, despite Emma trying to cheat, she is struck out, falling flat on her behind. Rachel taunts her and makes it clear that she is has issues with her. Nightcrawler and Bishop have to step in to ensure the situation doesn’t get ugly. Sage showers and checks out the computers. She takes a look at which organization is looking at what, whilst Cannonball chastises his brother and a fellow flying pupil who play up to television cameras. He warns the reporter away, flashing his new X.S.E badge.

With the game over, the X-Men go about their respective tasks. Rachel fixes one of the X-planes, Gambit has a medical check and Bishop places flowers in the memorial Garden, thinking of Jean. Emma and Scott, meanwhile, continue their relationship behind closed doors. After a session in the Danger Room, Sage gives the team missions.

Rachel Summers, Storm, Cannonball and Bishop are sent to the Central Saharan Republic to deal with a group of raiders called Weaponeers, as members of the X.S.E. They work well as a team and quickly dispatch most of their opponents, though their craft teleports away to safety. Rachel reports back to Sage, who then calls Brian Braddock in England, asking if they’re welcome over there. Wolverine and Nightcrawler, meanwhile, are sent to Washington, also in their role as X.S.E agents, where local police have surrounded an alpha-level mutant inside a building. Wolverine senses something and asks Kurt to teleport them inside. As he does so, the whole building explodes.

The Exiles Timeline

Elias Bogan

In California, further investigation revealed that the villain Elias Bogan had wormed his way into X-Corporation L.A. by making use of a mysterious pet telepath. Bishop allowed himself to be caught by Bogan's minions and they brainwashed him into joining their side. However, this was exactly as he and Sage had planned it, and working side by side with former X-Men Shadowcat and several members of X-Corp L.A., the X-Men managed to force Bogan to retreat and even liberated his telepathic slave, who turned out to be none other than former X-Man Rachel Summers. Elias Bogan was the same person who worked-become an ally and an enemy of Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club. He is the same person responsible for the tear-like mark in the face of Sage.

The X-Men and the members of X-Corp L.A. search the base for further clues on Bogan and find themselves trapped in several illusionary scenarios, all aimed at their personal fears. Still the mutants manage to come through and drive Bogan away, even though it takes Magma to destroy the entire catacombs and the X-Corp building above.

Bishop, Cannonball and Marvel Girl II (this time Rachel Summers used the name in honor with her mother) then traveled to England to visit Brian Braddock at Braddock Manor. Upon their arrival, they found signs of a disturbance and headed underneath the manor, where they found a strange creature: the Fury. It attacked them without cause and had the ability to adapt to whatever the X-Men threw at it. Cannonball was the first to fall to its ferocious onslaught, suffering a broken leg. The team united and managed to defeat the Fury, but only just. Meeting up with Captain Britain and Meggan after the battle was over, Rachel sensed something was strangely out of place and saw Brian Braddock's mad brother, Jamie Braddock, on more than one occasion.

In Wade River, Washington, Wolverine and Nightcrawler teleport inside a school building, which explodes soon after. The police officers on duty feel they are inside, killing their kids, and they rush into the school as fire fighters hose down the flames. They attack Wolverine and also slap handcuffs on Nightcrawler, despite him having saved all the children with a single teleport. Wolverine is blamed for killing a teenager, Tommy Reichert, but he insists the boy was a mutant and killing was his only option. Storm and Warbird appear on the scene and Carol uses her authority to have the two X-Men freed. Storm later joins Nightcrawler for a belated dance, whilst, over in Great Britain, Bishop, Marvel Girl and Cannonball drive to Braddock Manor. There, they discover a hole in the entrance floor and investigate. Suddenly, they are attacked by a strange creature, the Fury. Cannonball takes point but is easily brushed aside by the creature. Marvel Girl manages to impale it with a stalactite but is sent crashing skywards for her efforts. The strange being is incredibly powerful - it takes all of Bishop’s energy output and simply uses it to help restore itself. Cannonball once again attempts to fight the creature but, this time, he is caught in its strange taffy-like shell. He is pummeled to the floor and taken out of the equation. The Fury picks up his cyber shades and intends to trace the communications signal to its source. If the cybernetic network proves useful to its prime directive, it will assimilate it.

After the Fury attacked the X-Men at Braddock Manor, Sage is aware that something is wrong. As soon as she makes Storm aware of this, she is attacked, remotely, by the Fury. It uses Cannonball’s cyber shades to interact with Sage’s. Nannites are created in Sage’s shades and they dig their way into her mind, soon gaining partial control of her. The Fury then tries the same trick with Storm, but she manages to get free of them before they sink in too deep. Wolverine, too, experiences another such attack, but survives. They head to Sage’s carriage house, to discover what’s going on, but Sage attacks Nightcrawler and fends off Wolverine. Storm sounds a full security alert, but the Fury, acting through Sage, activates the mansion’s defenses, gassing all but the trio of X-Men with Sage. As laser beams then strafe the area, Wolverine has Nightcrawler teleport them into the tunnels below the estate.

In England, Cannonball has survived the Fury’s attack and, in saving Bishop, he thrusts the Fury into a propane tank. To his astonishment, the Fury emerges unscathed through the flames. The three X-Men at the mansion prepare to use unusual tactics to bring Sage down. They play against type when she appears, keeping her off balance. Helping them is Sage herself, using her indomitable will power to defend herself against the Fury’s insidious invasion. She battles Nightcrawler, who manages to keep her at arms length long enough for Storm to attack with an electromagnetic pulse. Sage lashes out at them, but the pulse does the job, crippling the nannites long enough for her to rip the shades from her face in a desperate last ditch attempt to assert her own free will. Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Storm ensure she is all right but, even though Sage is herself again, she is already making plans for the Fury.

The Fury is still attacking Cannonball in England, as his fellow X-Men take off from Xavier’s in the Blackbird. En route, they pick up Rachel, who emerges from the Irish Sea, a little light headed. She discovers Jean Grey had created a holempathic crystal, which reassures her about her purpose in life. Wolverine backs Jean up, telling Rachel she deserves this fresh start. Back in England, Bishop rejoins the battle and blasts the Fury, but it grabs Sam before he can escape. Bishop explodes a liquid nitrogen canister above them, though Sam’s blast field protects him. With the Fury frozen, the others arrive and Storm uses her powers to ionize the air around it, effectively rendering its scanners useless. Sage grabs the Fury’s core processor and Storm uses the Blackbird to fire three cluster bombs at the Fury, which tear it to pieces. Sage knows it is vulnerable, but will soon adapt. Her plan is to have Kurt place a module inside the Fury, which Rachel can telekinetically lock onto. Wolverine and Nightcrawler manage to place the module within the Fury and Rachel goes to work. She locks onto the module and, despite the enormous effort it takes, creates a controlled breach of the dimensional interface, with the help of her teammates, into which the Fury is banished. With the threat over with, for the time being, the X-Men look forward to their next challenge.

The Manor Incident

The X-Men return to Braddock Manor, following their battle with the Fury, and find the building mysteriously intact. Brian Braddock and his wife, Meggan, wait for them at the door. Inside, Brian explains that the manor is magic, and somehow takes care of itself. Despite being happy to see her old friends, Rachel senses something is wrong with the whole scenario. Once outside, she accesses a portion of her power and, in place of the pristine manor, she sees Jamie Braddock again. This time, he is standing amidst the ruins of the building. As quickly as the image hits her, it is gone. She seems to shrug it off and the team head to London, chauffeured by a woman with green lipstick. They change into evening dress for dinner with the queen but, once inside their car, they are gassed by their chauffeur, Viper. They wake up inside see-through spheres and with a large hologram of Viper standing beside them. She informs them that they are inside Murderworld and the object of her game is to kill them; especially Sage. They must also find and rescue the queen of England, because, if they don’t, she will die. Rachel is the first to emerge from her sphere, but she is severely beaten up by Viper. Without their powers, courtesy of some well-placed nannites, Viper has an advantage over the X-Men in that she knows the terrain. In their new environment, Kurt saves Storm from being swept underwater, but knows that, in escaping this trap, there’s bound to be another one waiting for them. Bishop and Sage emerge next to an illusion of the Tower of London. Sage somehow breaks her sphere using her fist, which surprises Bishop. Viper then appears and beats up Bishop before shooting Sage. Only her uniform protects her from certain death. She then holds a gun to Sage’s head and, despite Bishop’s warning that she will be hunted to the ends of the Earth, she pulls the trigger.

Having shot Sage in the forehead, Viper proceeds to best Marvel Girl in physical combat, leaving Rachel and Bishop to face a squad of soldiers. Inexplicably, Sage stands up and shows her X.S.E badge to the captain, ordering him to stand down. She then wills the bullet from her forehead and switches off her image inducer, revealing that it is, after all, Wolverine. Bishop can’t believe he didn’t figure it out earlier. The queen, however, is still in danger, but Wolverine knows where she is.

Meanwhile, Storm and Nightcrawler intrude on a Purity conference and Ororo has strong words with the organizer, Alice Tremaine, before taking her leave. Arriving at the London Eye, Alistaire Stuart informs the team, who now have their powers back, that the hostage is in the topmost car and two bombs are keeping her there. Viper’s voice tells the X-Men that there are two bombs. One conventional bomb will explode if they do nothing, or a baby nuke will explode if they try to rescue her. Also, it’s not really the Queen of England. It is Ella, one of her housemaids. The X-Men, despite Stuart’s objections, attempt a rescue and Storm creates a Jovian pressure field to crush the car, once Nightcrawler has teleported Ella to safety. Bishop blasts the car high into the sky, where the nuke explodes, harmlessly. Logan tells Alistaire that it was a risk, but Ororo made the right call. Meanwhile, Viper is on a mission to eliminate Courtney Ross. Before she kills her, however, Ross makes her an offer she can’t refuse. Later, Sebastian Shaw meets with them both and, together, they agree to rule the Hellfire Club, leaving the world theirs for the taking.

At the Xavier Institute, Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) and Rachel Grey (Marvel Girl) complete a Danger Room training session and share a short yet passionate kiss. They are interrupted by Logan (Wolverine) and Ororo Munroe (Storm) who are headed out for a “night on the town.” Meanwhile, on Manhattan’s lower east side, a terrorized girl named Jade Parisi runs through the streets screaming for help. She is brutally attacked by four young men who are promptly and violently dispatched by a clawed mutant seen only in shadow. After killing the four would-be attackers, the silhouetted mutant stares ominously at the hysterical Jade who screams out in fear. In the Xavier institute’s library, Tessa (Sage) shuffles through old photographs as she remembers her days in the Hellfire Club. Her reverie is interrupted by the sound of an argument between Marie D’Ancanto and several mutant students. Sage promptly ends this argument. Logan’s and Ororo’s night on the town is interrupted by a page from the medical examiner in District X’s morgue. The M.E. reports that four slaughtered young men, mutant-bashers, were discovered in District X. The slash marks on the bodies indicate claws very similar to Logan’s. The X-Men also learn that Jade Parisi, daughter of a powerful mob boss is missing and believed kidnapped. Later, outside a night club in District X, the X-Men interrogate an informant for information on Jade. Logan investigates the night club and discovers a young girl with a familiar scent. After a short scuffle, the girl pops two claws from each forearm and stabs Logan through the chest.
