    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    In a Madripoor restaurant, Wolverine, Psylocke and Jubilee are attacked by Harry Malone's Harriers, who have taken on a commission to abduct Wolverine. With their friend gone, Psylocke and Jubilee, despite their mutual dislike, figure out a plan to find and rescue Wolverine.

    The Harriers, a team of professional mercenaries led by Sergeant-Major Harold Malone aka Hardcase, a retired member of the Royal Marine Commandos, are in Madripoor, hired to capture a trio of mutants: Wolverine, Psylocke, and Jubilee. As fate would have it, Wolverine, Jubilee, and Psylocke have just arrived in Madripoor after their adventures in Hong Kong. The three mutants are in a restaurant in Lowtown, and while Jubilee is complaining about how hungry she is and the lack of edible food in Asia, Harriers Axe and Shotgun ambush the three mutants. They successfully kidnap Wolverine and blast Jubilee with a non-lethal shotgun blast to the chest that leaves her bruised. Psylocke is able to save Jubilee and the pair escape. The pair locate the warehouse where Wolverine is being held captive and Jubilee hatches a plan to rescue him that involves her dressing up as a boy and delivering pizzas. Jubilee's plan works fairly well and she is let into the warehouse. She then uses her fireworks to create confusion and is able to free Wolverine from the cage he is being held in. While this is happening, Psylocke is discovered creeping in the rafters by the Harrier known as Blindside. The two women battle it out and ultimately the Harriers are able to subdue the two mutants. At that moment Wolverine's Hong Kong gangster buddies bust into the Harrier's base ready to fight. Wolverine appears and stops everyone from killing each other. He and Hardcasse explain that the entire thing was a test for their respective teams. Wolverine wanted to see if Jubilee and Psylocke could work together while Hardcase wanted to put The Harriers through their paces. Everyone then sits down and has pizza together.
