July 2015

The month began somewhat tempestuously, with the field trip curse showing u p at a District X arts and crafts fair attended by Generation X. The police assaulted an obvious mutant, and Sooraya Qadir was forced to make the difficult decision to leave the situation, something that raised the ire of Quentin Quire. Debate raged on the journal system for several days, and various individuals made attempts to convince Quire to see things their way, with little to no success. The uproar proved the last straw for Topaz, who abruptly left for India. Amanda Sefton and Kurt Sefton both followed up with her, and agreed that she needed the break, however inappropriate the means of getting it. Roxanne Washington also departed, her parents deciding a school in Europe would be safer for her after all.

Several new students were brought to the school - Rahne Sinclair was a straightforward pick up from Muir Island, while runaway Amadeus Cho led the NYPD and Angelica Jones, Gabriel Cohuelo and Arthur Centino on a merry chase before agreeing to come to the mansion. Olympic skier Jean-Paul Beaubier was offered a place to stay after he was blackmailed over his genetic status and his coach revealed to be a potential murderer and Amara Aquilla was pulled out of an active volcano in Brazil.

Gabriel had a busy time of it - as well as assisting with Amadeus, he was also involved in helping a small X-Force team rescue David North from a German supersoldier experiment. After this, Marie-Ange Colbert and Wade Wilson offered Gabriel a place with X-Force, which he accepted.

The Vigilante Club - Miles Morales, Warren Worthington, Matt Murdock and Peter Parker - bit off more than they could chew with an investigation into industrial theft which led to the discovery that Miles' uncle was the notorious Prowler and Warren being suspended from X-Factor for putting a minor in unnecessary danger.

Finally, X-Force had another rescue situation, this time involving the Enchantress, Baron Zemo and an old flame of Wanda Maximoff's, Simon Williams. Things got decidedly weird when they got stuck in a time loop, reliving the same day several times until Williams' apparent sacrifice broke the cycle.
