Bobby Drake, concerned for his friend Miles Morales as the latter was depressed in the aftermath of the death of the man he was trying to save, gifted Miles with random birthday cake. Kyle Gibney, a little more practically, talked to him about the limits of being a hero and the inevitable failures that sometimes occur. In another discussion, Gabriel Cohuelo had a session with Charles Xavier about the losses he suffered and moving on from that tragedy. As part of that moving on, he and Quentin Quire continued their non-relationship. Tabitha Smith heard from her estranged father and was unhappy and confused about how to react.
Sooraya Qadir continued her work with the Mutant Underground, enlisting Jean-Phillipe Colbert and Angelica Jones for help with similarly-powered mutants. She also experienced a breakthrough in her powers while training with Everett Thomas. Gabriel's training with X-Force under Kevin Sydney continued, with the young man being sent on a mission and confusing the team by asking them to take care of an office fish they didn't know they had. Kyle and Topaz discovered the new team proposed by Clinton Barton and decided to get involved in setting it up.
And finally, the magic class had an accident when a convergence of magic led to a sudden shrinking. While security scans showed they were still in the building, the group was too small to be found and had to make their way from the trash cans to Amanda's suite on the third floor in order to reverse the spell.
