Synopsis
Blindfold has a vision of a team of young X-Men including herself fighting Donald Pierce, who kills one of them. She does not see which one. Cyclops recruits Wolf Cub, Dust, Ink and Rockslide to form a new team of X-Men. Rockslide, who was with Blindfold at the time, insists that Blindfold be on the team because she was in her own vision. Cyclops tells them they will be fighting the Lord Imperial of the Hellfire Club, a.k.a. Sunspot, who is being helped by his former New Mutants teammates.
