Summary

  Xartans spy on the Avengers and transform themselves into duplicates of them. Zano plans to take vengeance on them for a previous defeat. Instead, they come across Ship and decide to attack X-Factor, who hold back so as not to hurt the Avengers.

  The aliens have prepared for X-Factor, but not for the kids, who help defeat them, and Ship places them in stasis. Scott and Jean decide to send the kids to boarding school, to be among normal humans.

  Hodge contacts N'astirh using one of Belasco's rituals. They make a deal: power in exchange for the sacrifice of mutant babies.

  Hank is still comatose from Infectia's attack last issue.
