Colossus is in Scotland (flown there after the Mutant Massacre in issue #216), and is no longer stuck in his armored form. However, he apparently doesn't have much control over it, and it pops out while he's talking to some kids, scaring them half to death. He gets a visit by a girl (a projection of Roma?), who convinces him that the X-Men need him. After she leaves, his sister, Illyana, transports in, and agrees to take him to the X-Men. Meanwhile, the Adversary has captured Roma and taken over her Starlight Citadel. In Dallas, the X-Men arrive at Eagle Plaza to find an empty building. Wolverine enters and is cut down by lasers. The team rescue him and are ambushed by Freedom Force outside! A big fight starts, Colossus teleports in, and then a huge hole in the sky appears over their heads.
