Synopsis for "Cry for the Children!"
Colossus is being tested in the Danger Room and succeeds at his strength test with a little moral support from Wolverine. The X-Men are still in shock that the mansion has been left as if no one intended to come back. In Scotland MacWhirter's friends are looking for him, and Jean goes shopping where she encounters Jason Wyngarde. Back in New York, Scott and Colleen go out for lunch, and Logan drives Ororo into town to visit the house she was born in. Ororo finds it a condemned dump occupied by drug addicts, and gets attacked. But she is saved by Luke Cage and Misty Knight. And in a private jet, Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy make a deal with Arcade!
