of the young X-Men breaks rank - and leaves to join the adult Cyclops and his

 revolutionary crew! And when Mastermind targets the young Jean, will history

 repeat itself?

  Plus: When the teens find themselves face-to-face with the Uncanny Avengers,

 young Cyclops meets the adult version of the brother he thought he'd never see again!
