October 2015 *** December 2015

2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025

Maya Lincoln-Lopez continued to cause problems, this time with her shyer suite-mate, Rahne Sinclair. Fortunately, the incident only resulted in damaged property, although Xavin Majesdane was less than impressed to find their xBox controller broken without apology. The situation wasn't helped when Xavin had a powers incident which prompted Maya to call medlab and for Xavin to later realise they had turned green and were unable to shift back. For the queer teen who had already experienced persecution, it was a devastating change. Quentin Quire and Amadeus Cho also had roommate trouble, with Quentin dragged into a nightmare and not appreciating it at all.

Quentin's telepathy got him wound up in trouble again, dragging along the minds of Wanda Maximoff, Gabriel Cohuelo and Jean-Paul Beaubier with his own into a terrified teenage girl in Quebec, about to be lobotomised in order to "cure" her telepathy. Working together, the four managed to get 'their' body away from the hospital, but complications due to Wanda's powers resulted in them going on the run to Montreal, dodging police and 'borrowing' cars along the way. Eventually, they made it to Raymonde Belmonde and from there back to the mansion, where Charles Xavier extricated them from Daniella's mind. Surprisingly, one of the results of the incident was that Quentin and Wanda were able to talk - calmly - about Magneto and Wanda's reasons for rejecting her father's methods.

Jubilation Lee and Kurt Sefton got engaged, which was something of a shock to Amanda Sefton, although Kurt's other sisters congratulated him and the high school students had a Homecoming Dance at Bayville Charter High, which went surprisingly well.

Jennie Stavros and Clinton Barton got into some trouble of their own, involving Jennie's former fiance, Donal McGrath and a series of murders in Copenhagen. It turned out to be not only a trap, which Jennie and Clint barely escaped, but a decoy, as other members of The Disciples stole a valuable - and powerful - gemstone. Shaken by the encounter, Jennie asked Amanda for an update on her researches into the group, but only more questions came of it. Clint barely had time to recover from the mission before he had another - rescuing his SHIELD teammate and friend, Natasha Romanoff when her cover was blown and she was captured, the torture she underwent triggering her latent mutation. With several X-Force members as backup, Clint was able to get Natasha out, and brought her to the mansion as the best place for her.

The X-Men also had a mission, called out when a young girl's manifestation got severely out of hand. It did not go as smoothly as similar jobs in the past, as Legion went far beyond what was required in terms of force and wound up seriously injuring several civilians. As a result, he removed himself from the team immediately, but refused any actual help.

Angelica Jones, having recruited Miles Morales and Rogue to join her team, released the first issue of the Mutant Chronicle to counteract the largely anti-mutant slant of mainstream media. It was met with positive reviews from the mansion, at least. And finally, during a Skype call with an old Medicans Sans Frontiers colleague, Cecilia Reyes was shocked to discover Rave had become a major problem in Honduras, and gangs were destroying the medical clinics she had helped build through X-Corps.
