"One mindwiped cabdriver on his merry way, thank you Jean, now shall we join our comrades in action?" Beast asked.

"Just a moment and I'll find out what the plan is." Jean said before returning to her telepathy. *How is the search coming Scott?*

*Iceman and I haven't found anything. What about Psylocke and Archangel?*

*PSylocke. Any sign of Viper?* Jean asked.

*Archangel spotted some Hand ninjas down by the docks. We're headed there. We think they are using an abandonned warehouse as a base. But no sign of activity yet.*

*Great Psylocke. We are all on our way.* Scott said using his link with Jean to communicate with the entire team.

*Jean, you stay with Jubilee and Viper. I don't trust her in the mansion without supervision.*

*Has anyone seen Logan?* Psylocke asked.

Logan left his scoot outside of a bar two blocks away from the docks and ran the rest of the way.

[This warehouse must be where Viper's hiding her goons. I can smell her all over it. And it has the same smell that I caught on Viper earlier tonight.]

Logan snuck inside the warehouse.

Meanwhile.

Psylocke, Angel, Cyclops and Iceman were systematically surrounding the warehouse, unaware that Logan was inside. Beast was on his way.

One by one Logan began picking off ninjas, just as the X-men were making their way inside. One ninja uttered a cry before Logan silenced him. The rest dropped their playing cards and dove on Logan just as the poison gas bomb in his back pocket went off.

The X-Men heard the commotion and came charging in ready for a fight...only to find a heap of ninjas passed out on the floor, in the midst of which was Wolverine who had a strange green gas cloud erupting from his behind.
