Synopsis for "Gritty Days in the City of Brotherly Love"
With the tournament in Otherworld now behind him, Cable wants to return to the search for the missing babies in Philadelphia. This time, he takes his sister Prestige with him, whose stronger telepathic abilities will be useful. In Philly, the two are greeted by detectives DiStefano and Molina. It only takes Rachel a few moments to figure out that the children are being held by the Order of X in a forest house in Bucks County. While the detectives remain outside the house, Cable goes straight in. The members of the Order of X want to use the babies as leverage to prevent Cable from attacking them, but Nathan simply shoots everyone in the shoulder while Rachel uses her telekinesis to prevent the babies from falling to the ground. Cable then telepathically enters the leader's mind and sees that Stryfe ordered the kidnappings of the babies. The leader kills himself with a poison capsule before Cable can ask him any more questions. He doesn't tell Prestige about Stryfe's involvement.
Back on Krakoa, Cable refuses to have dinner with the family. Five more babies are still missing, and he doesn't want to waste any time finding them. Since he thinks he'll need some luck, he asks Domino for help.
