Wasp tries in vain to get some information on the X-Men's current whereabouts from Marvel Girl's father. In the meantime, the X-Men have hidden in a New York safe house and Xavier compares notes with Moira MacTaggert, who had to evacuate to Glasgow. Beast is trying to build a secure line to the Ultimates and becomes angry when Storm forgets to bring some material he needed from her shopping expedition. Angrily, she snaps that this whole mess I his fault anyway. They are interrupted as the X-jet with the missing members, returns from the Savage Land, but Cyclops is not with them. According to Wolverine, he's dead. In the meantime, the Ultimates are planning their strategy when the building is attacked by Magneto. He easily brushes aside both soldiers and Ultimates, punishes his children by shooting Quicksilver into hiskneecaps and then informs the Ultimates that he has erased all information on the Brotherhood from their computers. With that he leaves. Shortly afterwards, SHIELD agents inform Captain America that Xavier has contacted them and wants to broker a deal. Cap brusquely refuses: the X-Men are going to be brought down as hard as Magneto and the Brotherhood.
