July 2006 *** September 2006

2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014

The Elpis crew has just arrived back at the mansion and the various participants in Sooraya Qadir's rescue share their experiences with the rest of the residents. In addition to this, various people who participated in the events in San Diego are dealing with the repercussions, most notably Scott Summers, Logan, Lorna Dane and David Haller. Marie D'Ancato receives a cryptically-lettered missive from her hometown containing several strange predictions about the mansion’s residents and decides to go home to investigate. Logan goes with her for support. When she arrives, her family gives her even stranger news: she was adopted. She also meets Destiny, whose prophesies were sent to her, and receives a diary containing many more.

Shiro Yoshida's addiction to Kick continues to spiral unchecked. Several mansion residents notice something strange about his behavior, but no one can figure out exactly what the problem is. Amanda Sefton and Doug Ramsey travel around Europe together on X-Force-related business and even go on a date, but they return home as just good friends. A club out in Los Angeles has trouble with some of its mutant clientele and the LAPD requests some help from the X-Men. Bobby Drake, Lorna, Paige Guthrie and Clarice Ferguson go out to investigate undercover.

Angelica "Firestar" Jones manifests her mutation in the car with her mother one Sunday. After some initial (and understandable) worries, it is finally decided that she will attend Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Sam Guthrie acts as liaison, and she quickly meets Kyle Gibney, Julio Richter, and many other mansion residents. Meanwhile, strange activity in South America draws the attention of the Snow Valley team. Dr. Stephen Strange investigates the rumors of cultists and then requests for Snow Valley to join him, as things are far more serious than originally suspected. In the jungle city of Nova Roma, several local girls are to be sacrificed to Selene, and once Remy LeBeau realizes the scope of the problem, he makes a call to the mansion to ask for even more help, this time from the X-Men. Disaster is narrowly averted when Amara "Magma" Aquilla, one of the girls, calls up a volcano during the sacrifice – the X-Men rescue the girls and deal with the volcano while X-Force rounds up the cultists. In the end, Amara is invited to come back to the mansion and accepts.

The strange activity at the mutant club in Los Angeles is concluded just as some comes to the attention of Snow Valley in New York. They meet another mutant, Mark "DJ" Sheppard, and investigate the rumors of people disappearing. At the mansion, Ororo Munroe makes a phone call to Jennie Stavros' father and discovers that the girl is not where she said she was, prompting much concern among the residents. In Las Vegas, Theresa Cassidy and Bobby accidentally get married.

Crystal Amaquelin's sister Medusa Amaquelin is informed by her mother that she will be going to New York to look out for her sister, much to her chagrin. Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe, Jennie, Marius Laverne and Manuel de la Rocha clubhop, finding someone new for Marius to feed from almost every night. In Paris he purchases a comatose mutant girl to feed from whom he calls Penny. Forge and Amanda try to locate Jennie with a spell, but it is to no avail. Shiro finally snaps and flies into a rage, trying to kill the man who got him hooked on Kick. Scott, Logan, Marie and Ororo manage to subdue him and bring him back to the mansion, but there is a long road to recovery ahead of him.

Two breakups occur at the end of the month: Clarice and Shiro, Lorna and Remy.
