Anyway, while she is recovering at the hospital, Xavier sends the team, minus Cyclops, on a forced vacation. He and Scott need to take care of Jean, and he can't deal with their shenanigans at the moment. Banshee has a perfect idea: He just received a letter saying he'd inherited the Cassidy Estate! So they all head to Ireland to see it.
There, they get to his CASTLE (seriously why was Sean ever committing crimes when his family was loaded). Also, it was all a trap! His cousin Black Tom has teamed up with the Juggernaut to take down the X-Men!
They drop them into the basement, where Storm freaks out because of her claustrophobia (also her background gets expanded to show that her parents were killed when their house was destroyed during the Suez Crisis in Cairo, Egypt. She was buried alive and not found for some time.)
Anyway, the fight goes badly for the X-Men, but Nightcrawler escapes. There he is helped by... ok, bear with me here, I'm also just as baffled by this one as anyone else... the leprechauns that live in the castle.
Black Tom and Juggernaut torture Storm to try to get Xavier to come to the castle to be killed. With the help of the leprechauns (no really), Nightcrawler attacks using his image inducer to pretend to be Xavier. They all get free, a lot of fighting ensues, Storm redeems herself with some badassery, Black Tom gets thrown off the parapets into the water below. Juggernaut jumps after his only friend to protect him.
There is also some stuff in the middle where Xavier tries to send Cyclops after them but he refuses, and then he acts like a complete ass...
Though we don't hear the rest of an argument cause then Xavier has another of his "WHAT THE HELL ALIEN LADY" visions and freaks out.
X-tra Notes: Guys I still can't get over the leprechauns. I can't. Also, Wolverine's idea of getting dressed up for a fancy dinner is wonderful.
What are you talking about, that's just standard Canadian formal wear.
