September 2023

September started with a blaze - Match willingly used his powers to start a fire for the first time. Xavier's held a party over Labor Day weekend, that had great attendance. During the party, Jean Grey and Garrison Kane began to get closer, the younger members of the mansion started to become friends, Artie Maddicks scared the daylights out of Sharon Smith, and Arthur Centino's psychometry accidentally revealed the existence of Shatterstar's system to him. Theresa Cassidy more or less declared Shatterstar a member of her family when she gifted him a family heirloom sword for his 18th birthday. Jean and Garrison's budding relationship continued to grow, especially when they spent the night together after car trouble during a mission left them stranded. Liam Nelson and Shatterstar started school at the mansion under their new teacher Kyle Gibney. Arthur tricked Jessica Jones into helping him chaperone a trip into District X for Generation X.

Warren Worthington returned to X-Factor Investigations. As it happens, XFI investigated a missing persons case which led them to a mutant group that may or may not have been a cult but either way was of interest to Quentin Quire. In Seattle there was a large explosion that was caused by a mutant, but this was, of course, likely unrelated. Madin was revealed to formerly have been a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants and put in the Box while senior staff discussed the new information and what to do going forward.
