February 2019

Maya Lincoln-Lopez decided to give dating a try, asking out a boy from her class at Bayville Charter High after seeking advice on the journals about who should ask whom out. Artie Maddicks took off to Europe for some personal time, unable to handle "too many people wearing dead friends' faces in the mansion". Gabriel Cohuelo also left for a time, travelling to Asia for X-Force reasons, while Warren Worthington took himself to rehab, both to address his drug habits and to begin work on redeeming his public image after the demon possession. An attempt to apologise to Alex Summers for his abuse of Lorna Dane proved more difficult, especially since Warren had trouble actually apologising.

Sharon Friedlander continued her investigation into the Iraqi supersoldier, Qunbala, asking Garrison Kane for help in finding him. And a spate of thefts of magical items and a favour for a friend became a headache for Clinton Barton, with a smuggler called Janet Lyton, mercenaries, portals, an evil magician and a mysterious pocket dimension cum artifact warehouse resulting in the first 'official' mission for the group that would become known as eXcalibur.
