But unfortunately the Avengers don't know where the professor's school for gifted youngsters is located! However after searching for a while, Earth's Mightiest Heroes start finding things! First, they find the X-Men's home, then Cyclops, Marvel Girl, and Iceman out cold on the floor; and finally, big-time trouble!
