Synopsis

The X-Men return from their fight with Bastion to find X-Mansion completely stripped of everything but the bare walls by Zero Tolerance. Scott has a nano-bomb in his chest and the X-Folk, old and new, have to pull together to save his life. In the midst of the operation, Juggernaut comes calling to lay claim to his half-brother's assets and decides to beat on his foes in a moment of weakness.
