 Finding herself being stalked after her mutant status is exposed, Darcy gets in touch with a friend of Jane Foster and gets an offer of sanctuary. "I haven't left my apartment in a few days, if that says anything about the threat I'm feeling. I quit listening to voicemail even before that, my unlocked twitter account is a complete loss, and my e-mail is a cesspit. It wasn't that bad at first, a few capslocked notes about how mutants are going to hell and similar, although the volume's steadily increased.
