Synopsis for "Avengers Assemble!"

The Avengers get a call from a Massachusetts sheriff saying he'd been warned by Emma Frost that Magneto was going to try to kidnap some of her students. They ambush Magneto, and there is battle. Magma senses the use of the magnetic field, and Illyana goes to investigate. She goes back to the Massachusetts Academy, grabs the New Mutants, and teleports them to the battlefield. They rescue Magneto by teleporting away. Magneto and Emma Frost together help the New Mutants heal the emotional scars of their encounters with the Beyonder. The New Mutants elect to return to Xavier's.
