A group of teenagers from Utopia has responded to Rogue's distress call. Arriving before the team from Manchester can defeat Exodus, Wolverine must reluctantly accept their help to subdue the formidable mutant. Once he has been defeated, Rogue invites the teens to join the school at Manchester but they decline, preferring to train themselves as soldiers. Wolverine says he cannot trust Rogue for alerting Utopia, Exodus is content that he momentarily unified the two factions, and Blindfold foreshadows that this is the beginning of the X-Men's destruction.; Captain America and Iron Man tell the President that the Phoenix Force is headed to Earth. Captain America then informs Wolverine and asks how Cyclops will handle the news. Cyclops expects the Phoenix Force to come for Hope and wants to train her to be prepared to use it to the advantage of the mutant community. Captain America arrives at Utopia to take Hope away.
