Meanwhile, Moira, Sean, Peter, Ororo and Wolverine go to the lake, in upstate New York, for a picnic. There, Wolverine is attacked by James MacDonald Hudson. He tries to take Wolverine back to Weapon X program in Canada. After a brief fight where Moira gets hurt, Weapon Alpha flies away afraid of the X-Men's powers.
