Their mission: Jean Grey, who left for Genosha weeks ago, has gone silent. Upon arrival, they’re greeted by John and James Proudstar, who guide them through the island to a distant castle. There, they find Jean on a throne, flanked by Magneto and Scarlet Witch. Jean is possessed by the Phoenix Force. She orders their arrest. Imprisoned, the team forms a plan: Phoenix is vulnerable to iron, and Wanda could help free Jean. Emma reaches Wanda telepathically.
