April 2005

Jake Gavin was brought back to the mansion by Remy LeBeau to return to the school in order to help him with Intel in the wake of Pete Wisdom's departure. Betsy Braddock returned from her soul-searching trip in England. Henry McCoy, Forge and Danielle Moonstar went to Oklahoma for Dani's divorce proceedings. Dani also announced that she intended for Hank to adopt her baby. Madelyn Bartlet finally got her vacation and when she returned, ended the affair with Remy. Both Hank and Kurt Wagner declared their feelings for Madelyn and she chose Hank. Forge had a riding accident and broke his arm.

Alphonso de la Rocha was assassinated, despite the X-Men guarding him against Pete. Manuel de la Rocha grieved for his father and when Amanda tried to talk to him about it, he realised that she had known ahead of time it was going to happen and threatened her with his powers if she didn't tell him the truth. As a result of this, Amanda fled the mansion, intercepted by Alison Blaire at the last minute and agreeing to go with Kurt to stay with the Szardos Clan in Germany. Whilst in Germany, the family discovered a mutant child being sold by a rival clan and rescued her; she was adopted by Margali and given the name Meggan Szardos. Amanda and Kurt returned with her to the school in order to provide her with the training and help she needed, Amanda acting as her primary caregiver, much to Manuel's displeasure and the concern of several people who felt she had taken on too much. Amanda refused to give Meggan up, despite the child's hatred of Manuel and the difficulties posed by Amanda's lifestyle and the magic.

Pete's decision to become White King of the Hellfire Club was seen as a betrayal by those closest to him. Remy attempted to warn Charles Xavier about the security implications and the Pack relocated to avoid compromising the school's security.

Jubilation Lee and Shiro Yoshida both became X-Men trainees, much to Alex Summers' displeasure in the latter case. Clarice Ferguson began work as a junior EMT after Madelyn's intervention on her behalf. Paige Guthrie continued to show signs of not coping with Jono Starsmore's discorporeal condition, resulting in several people voicing concerns which were generally met with denial and hostility. A trip to Disneyland with Lorna Dane was better received. Forge talked to various people about relaunching HeliX.

Jay Guthrie had a series of gigs, the last of which a group of the students and Terry Cassidy's new boyfriend Tommy Jones attended. Tommy, a member of the local FOH chapter, lured Jay into an alley and beat him nearly to death after they kissed. Jay's healing factor saved him, but he blamed himself for the incident and refused to talk about it with anyone or have official action taken.
