November 2014

Gabriel Cohuelo and Clint Barton continued to not-date, enjoying each other’s company, while Gabriel slowly – and reluctantly - adjusted to life at the mansion. The paparazzi-baiting game became less funny when Tandy Bowen reacted badly to a photograph of Julian Keller with another girl, revealing that her feelings at least were genuine. After several days of her avoiding people and especially Julian, things blew up with a fight in the kitchen and were eventually resolved as the pair kissed and made up.

The Weapon X alumni, along with Garrison Kane, acted on a lead provided by Tim Dugan about an old research lab; at the same time, Kyle Gibney, responding to a message from his parents, was taken to the same lab, to retrieve some files related to the program for Omega Red and Abraham Cornelius, his parents brought as hostages to his good behaviour. While Logan and Wade Wilson attempted to help Kyle against a sentient virus, another part of the Weapon program and retrieve the data, Garrison Kane and David North attempted to rescue Kyle’s parents from Cornelius and Omega Red. They were partially successful and rescued Kyle’s father, but his mother was taken by the pair as they escaped. Once recovered from the virus, the group pursued after advice from Malcolm Colcord, only to find the progenitors of the Weapons program, two proto-ferals. Kyle’s mother was unfortunately killed, and the group only just managed to escape with their lives, thanks to the eleventh hour intervention of Deathstrike and her team. Grieving for his mother, as difficult as their relationship had been, Kyle withdrew from mansion life.

Arthur Centino appeared in the news again, ahead of the release of his new show, Impossible Odds. Firstly he stopped a mutant terrorist attack in Kansas, then he foiled an armed robbery in Texas a few days later. His sudden intervention as a crime-stopping hero raised questions and concerns from the various teams.

Finally, in an attempt to reconcile with her adoptive family, Rogue took a group – including Julian and Tandy, who were still not talking at that stage – on a road trip to Mississippi for Thanksgiving. It went about as badly as it could possibly do so.
