2007 marked several new starts and recoveries. The New Year's party at [[Silver]] proved hugely successful, especially for [[HeliX]]. [[Kurt]], healed of his ritualistic scarring by [[Amanda]], threw his scarring knife in the lake, whilst the witch began to deal with the new realities of her healing ability. [[Ororo]] reluctantly returned from Africa at the behest of [[Scott]]. [[Nightcrawler]], [[Legion]] and [[Sunfire]] were reinstated to the [[X-Men]], following their [[Mommy Dearest Redux| respective]] [[Kick It Up| absences]], whilst [[Polaris]] was physically cleared to begin training again. [[Angelo]] was promoted from trainee to full X-Man, taking the codename "Skin". [[Nathan Dayspring | Nathan]], [[Domino]] and Angelo climbed Mt. Washington in order to mark the anniversary of [[The Pack| GW's]] [[Trinity| death]]. [[Pietro]] and Scott discussed healing after the former Brotherhood member caught sight of Scott's [[Search and Rescue| scars]]. And [[Julio]] and [[Angelica Jones| Angel]] went on their first date.


Nathan discovered that his disclosure of his telepathic powers was going to make life difficult at the UN. [[Medusa]] and [[Mark]] encountered a scary shoe-throwing fanboy, which resulted in lots of shoes needing a home. [[Alex]] and [[Shiro| Shiro's]] nascent relationship was outed to [[Kyle]] and Lorna, causing both boys to have their individual wigginses.


The X-Men needed their full component, as it because a busy month for them. The Greek government requested help with a [[X-Men Mission: Phalanx| military experiment gone rogue]] on the island of [[Youra]], which prompted not a few flashbacks for those involved. It was also [[Dominion| Dominion's]] first mission, and his last being partnered with Legion when [[Haller| Jack]] surfaced and blithely assumed Garrison didn't need [[Psionics| telekinetic]] shielding. 


Later that month, Angelo, attending a conference in Moscow on behalf of [[Elpis]], found himself in a [[Epiphany Frosts| hostage situation]]. Garrison attempted to negotiate with the terrorists, but deliberate mistranslation resulted in the death of one of the hostages and the X-Men were required to storm the building. Angelo - with his friend [[Samie Kander]] in tow - provided much in the way of useful intelligence, and proved himself worthy of the X-Men tags he was later given by Nathan. 


[[Sabretooth]] resurfaced, this time attempting to assassinate his father, politician [[Graydon Creed]]. The first attempt was [[Minitooth| interrupted]] by a chance meeting with Kyle - Sabretooth's taunts raised doubt in Kyle's mind as to his parentage, and when his mother revealed his father wasn't his genetic parent, he sought out answers, nearly getting himself killed. A security shut down halted the weekly [[The Bus Run| bus trips]], lifted only upon Sabretooth's capture as part of a clever sting operation between the Secret Service, the FBI and the X-Men, using profile information provided by [[Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs| Snow Valley's]] [[Sofia Mantega-Barret]].


The drama wasn't over, however. A field trip led by Haller and Lorna, with Amanda assisting, resulted in [[When It All Goes Wrong Again| mass comas]] when a telepathic con man by the name of [[Thomas Glorian]] inadvertently threw the group into Haller's dream - or nightmare - of a world without mutants. Upon recovering, [[Forge]] decided to take a sabbatical on [[Muir Island Research Facility| Muir Island]] , and [[Crystal]] and Lorna began to bury the hatchet of animosity.
