Introducing... Agent Justin Pierce! Agent Pierce is an FBI agent who works in the Metahuman Crimes division. He has come to The Cage (a metahuman prison in France) to talk to his uncle... Donald Pierce! He says the FBI is making a deal with Pierce: They WON'T kill him, and in return he will testify against a mutant who they believe to have committed murder. That mutant's name... Kevin Ford! The cybernetic man is pleased to hear that the FBI is going after one of Xavier's children... *Donald Pierce: "...I hear the school is quite vulnerable right now."* Splash page of the Xavier Institute. Rahne, Shan, and Dani watch in horror at the smoldering hole that used to be their home. Magneto destroyed it, and there was nothing they could do to stop him. These three helped in the evacuation of all the students, so they didnt fight Magneto. Just then, some familiar friends walk up... Its Samuel Guthrie, Roberto DaCosta, and Amara Aquilla! As most of the group enjoys each other's company, Amara is quite moody, and is pretending not to like anyone. They talk about where they are now in life, and Roberto is surprised that Dani is a teacher, and not a fighter. Then again, Karma is surprised that Roberto is head of X-Corp LA, and not leader of the Hellfire Club. Meanwhile, Donald Pierce is being moved from JFK International Airport in NYC to a secure location. But of course, things go awry, and he takes control of one of the transport vans. He kills everyone inside, and threatened to kill Justin Pierce, but since they're family, he doesnt. After the original New Mutants reconnect for a while, Amara rudely demands that they all get some food, so Shan and Dani take everyone to the Grindstone. Roberto tries to hit on the lesbian manager, Luna, but it doesnt go quite as he planned. We see more allusions to Luna and Shan going out (but they still aren't yet). Dani tries to confront Amara about the way she's behaving, but they're interupted by Justin Pierce, who came to talk to Dani about...
