Jono was brought to [[Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters]] by [[Pete Wisdom]], and from the start he was not exactly a beam of sunshine. Depressed about his accident, convinced he was a freak and there was no point in going about the normal course of living, he had several minor explosions, both with his power and on the journals. The arrival of [[Sarah Morlocke]] gave him someone to connect with, and the two self-proclaimed 'monsters' eventually moved into an old boiler room in the basement. When [[Paige Guthrie]] came to the school, her interest in him both confused and intrigued him, and an experimental kiss went disastrously wrong when Jono lost control of his powers and seriously injured her. Paige proved stubborn, and a series of emails exchanged between the pair whilst Jono was staying with Sarah at Emma's property in Maine settled things between them.
 
 
 
Life at the mansion continued apace for Jono, with various small dramas but overall, general progress being made. The triangle with Angelo and Paige was resolved with both boys agreeing to share, and gradually they became friends. Jono also started playing guitar again, and became part of the school band, [[People Covered In Fish]].  
 
  
However, the stress of Paige and Angelo both being abducted to [[Asgard]] and the lack of control over his power became telling, his remaining physical body beginning to literally crack under the strain. Taken by Emma to a series of experts in mutation, he eventually returned to the mansion when all attempts to help him proved useless. He began training with [[Nathan Dayspring]] and the [[Askani]], but Sarah's departure proved the final straw and he exploded, destroying what was left of his physical form and becoming a glowing ball of psionic energy for many months. Only [[Forge| Forge's]] intervention enabled him to rebuild himself, for the first time since [[May 2003]] being completely intact. He became the school's music teacher upon Alison's departure, and he and Paige shared a suite together.

In [[November 2006]], Jono had another accident, this time coming into contact with new student [[Kevin Ford]]. Kevin's powers caused Jono to lose his new body, and he was unable to rebuild it for any amount of time.

To this date, attempts to rebuild himself permanently have proven unsuccessful.

Val Cooper: Val Cooper has been an agent with the Secret Service for close to ten years. It is unknown what her function with the Secret Service was, but since 2003 she has functioned under the direction of President McKenna himself as liaison between the US government and the X-Men. As such, she has been the go-between on numerous occasions where the government has requested the X-Men's assistance both domestically and abroad. She was also involved in the operation to capture Sabretooth, acting in response to his attempt on the life of Senator Graydon Creed.

Agent Cooper has also been shown to have either a background in law or familiarity with the US legal system, as she has acted as an authority in amnesty proceedings for both Pietro Maximoff and Forge.

As baseline human, she has extensive training in law enforcement, personal protection, and government procedure. She is also highly professional, seeming cold and ruthless on occasion, but this masks a certain dry wit and passion for what she does.
