Then he thought about what would happen when Shaw moved on the school. What Selene would do to any of the kids that didn't get away.

Arc Summary
Following his father's death at the hands of Alphonso de la Rocha, determined to have his revenge, and make sure that his enemies don't attack his family again, Pete Wisdom quits Xavier's, and joins the Hellfire Club as their White King. It turned out to be part of a long-term ruse, with Alison Blaire his contact at the school. It was not without casualties - Amanda Sefton, believing she had been abandoned by her 'uncle', wound up making a deal with Selene to address her addiction issues and Remy LeBeau, struggling to fill the gap left in the mansion's intelligence network and his own sense of betrayal, wound up leaving the mansion after nearly killing Pete at least once.
