Synopsis for "Synge City Blues"
After Xi'an Chi Xian's attempted assassination,[1] the X-Men flee from Nuevo Sol Arcology in the Experience Van. Unbeknownst to them, Junkpile has betrayed his fellow mutants and attempted to coordinate the murder with the Greater Nevada Syndicate.
While seeking refuge along the Hoover Dam, Bloodhawk appears to give the group aid but flies away to be alone and wishes them well. He has a solo mission to fight against those who destroy the environment.
They raid Sygne's base but are attacked by the Rat Pack, who capture Meanstreak (Henri Huang) and Metalhead (Edward Osako).
