Sue appears in volume 2, issue 1. The main conflict of the issue is that Jean, being the only female X-man in a house full of guys, has no female heroes to identify with and who understands the worries she has as a woman and a hero. The issue opens with Jean trying to use her telekinesis for flight. She ends up crashing into a tree and getting chastised by Cyclops for practicing by herself instead of with the team and she storms off. The Professor correctly guesses that it is not always easy for Jean to be surrounded by boys who, no matter how well meaning, just don't quite get what Jean is going through like another woman would (Bobby suggests that the Professor start wearing a wig. The Professor is not amused.)
Professor X invites Sue Storm to the mansion so she can have Jean shadow her for a bit and because she would have a similar perspective as Jean. Jean and Sue go out and end up kicking ass and being awesome. The X-men see these exploits on tv and start to worry that Jean is looking to make The Fantastic Four into The Fantastic Five and begin to panic. Meanwhile, Jean and Sue are having a bonding moment when Jean shares her frustration over the earlier incident mention, and Sue tells her that she understands "how embarrassing it is to risk failure in front of others, especially when you are a woman and everyone doubts your abilities already". They hug and it was a pretty nice/cute moment. Immediately afterwards, they both fuck shit up at a villain's hideout.
In the end, the remaining X-men show up to help take down the bad guys and in their own slightly bumbling ways they tell Jean that they'll try harder to understand her perspective and Jean assures them that she was never planning to leave the X-men and that they are her family. It was probably one of my favorite issues in the First Class series and I can't decide if I ship Jean/Sue more romantically or more friendshippy.
