August 2015

Several newcomers arrived at the mansion - Monica Rambeau; Maya Lincoln-Lopez (after an incident where she nearly stabbed Wade Wilson with a butter knife); Alex Summers (rescued after being used as a hostage by the Brotherhood of Mutants and Magneto to get Lorna Dane back); Clea Lake, Sebastian Druid and Stephen Strange (three friends who had used their magical and mutant powers to protect their faerie cat and attracted Amanda Sefton's notice) and Sharon Friedlander, who was arrested by SHIELD after rescuing someone from a fire. David North also woke from his coma, with Wanda Maximoff watching over him.

Garrison Kane discovered a new nemesis in the form of a serial killer calling himself The Scourge, whilst investigating a case in St. Louis with the help of Logan, Kitty Pryde and Julian Keller. Namor made a discovery of his own, when an Atlantean artifact turned out to be a portal, and the group researching it found themselves fighting fish people in the basement.

Jean Grey thanked Warren Worthington for saving her life, but the conversation ended with a lecture on Warren's fear of commitment, while Angelica Jones and Clinton Barton found themselves dating after a mansion party. Alison Blaire and Jean-Paul Beaubier both had to deal with star-struck roommates. Quentin Quire surprised everyone (and himself), by accepting an offer to work with X-Factor.

And Maya proved to be a handful for Wade, with an incident where she got into a fight with her roommate, Xavin Majesdane and then went snooping in Wade's room, finding his explosives and attacking Marie-Ange Colbert by instinct when disturbed; she wound up being grounded, while Wade desperately tried to get drunk with Logan.
