The Southwest of America has been given to the Sentinels & the military is squashing uprisings in New York City
Kitty gives up all codenames & decides to lead the mutant revolution, but first, she needs to take a team to the Southwest to fix the mess

(I'm a sucker for a fictional map)
Kitty is determined to find land for her & the X-Men in the Southwest
Some jerks pull her over & get too friendly with her & harass her later too

Kitty has a secret contact she's trying to get to

Kitty updates everyone about NYC – Johnny was taken after a raid, mutant kids may be hurt
We meet Ultimate Husk!
She brings Kitty to . . . Nick Fury!
