During a bad weather day in Cairo, Illinois a young girl is discovered needing medical attention. She looks like Storm, but is way too young to be her. Wolverine and Jubilee escape from the Reavers base, the cyborgs pinpoint Muir Island as their most probable destination and plan to invade the island.
