March 2018

X-Force got called into action when Emma Frost discovered a weapon of mass destruction had been stolen from Frost Enterprises and was being sold off in Russia; the auction itself was held in a powers-free environment, which required those who spoke Russian naturally and could fight went undercover: Kevin Sydney, David North, Wanda Maximoff and Nina Thurman joined Emma in infiltrating VECTOR and recovering the samples while the rest of X-Force provided back up.

With Charles Xavier semi-retiring and passing over his Mutant Underground contacts to Sooraya Qadir, Sooraya consulted with Angelo Espinosa about using old X-Corps contacts to augment the Underground's, as well as possibly reviving X-Corps. Maya Lincoln-Lopez badgered her way into a reception job at X-Factor Investigations, and Tandy Bowen joined the X-Men, something her boyfriend Julian Keller wasn't entirely happy about. Jubilation Lee and Amanda Sefton had that Talk about Jubilee's breaking of her engagement with Kurt Sefton, and the two agreed to bury their differences in the interest of working in X-Force together. Molly Hayes, thinking she was cursed, consulted Amanda about it, but it turned out she was just having some really bad luck. Hope Abbott investigated a twenty-year-old break-in at Worthington Industries and Garrison Kane weathered through Adrienne's first birthday since being put into a medical coma with copious drinking. Topaz continued her downward spiral by having a solo pub crawl for her birthday, unaware that she was protected by the Sefton siblings from the shadows.

And finally, flyers appeared, advertising a new virtual reality game, Predator-X.
