Arc Summary
Having rediscovered his father and uncle through Mistra records, Nathan set about establishing a relationship with them, only to discover they were heavily involved in a type of cult, aimed at mutant supremacy and with ties to child soldier and mutant weaponisation projects. With various clues left by his precognitive mother, Nathan was able to piece together his own history, as well as taking on Gideon and his father. Not without losses, however, the greatest being the death of his close friend and mentor, G.W. Bridge.
Arc Plots
X-Men Mission: A Mirror Darkly: When the X-Men are alerted to the existence of a military training camp for mutant children in Chad, they decide to risk a rescue mission. But upon arrival in the country, they are sidetracked by a new enemy.
Kashmir Waltz: When Nathan and Angelo go to Kashmir to investigate the suspicious activities of an NGO, wacky adventures and close encounters with Gideon abound.
Lost Generations: Nathan and Angelo carry out a months-long investigation into the falling mutant birth rate in Southeast Asia.
X-Men Mission: Air Xavier: When the Pack breaks a group of mutant children out of a Libyan training camp and then get cut off from their helicopter, the X-Men fly into the country to pick them up – and have a very wild flight on the way out.
Skeleton Coast: Following right on the heels of the traumatic events at the Hellfire Club, Nathan and Pete discover that Gideon's laid a trap for them - with Domino as the bait. Being who they are, they walk into it anyway.
Trinity: A small investigative mission to Kazakhstan takes Nathan away from home, allowing his uncle an opportunity to seize some information about the Pack that he later puts to deadly use.
X-Men Mission: Trans-Siberian Hustle: The X-Men set up a sting operation to publicly expose some of Gideon's more underhanded dealings.
House of Wind: Driven by a series of precognitive visions, Nathan sets himself up to be kidnapped by his uncle Gideon in an attempt to end the threat his family poses to everyone and everything he cares about. But his self-fulfilling prophecy turns out to be far more complicated than he ever imagined.
