Charles Xavier, head of the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning and mentor of the X-Men, had been busy in the recent days. Together with an old friend, Erik Lehnsherr, the two of them pushed the anti-human groups into action. Attacks on humans started happening all around New York City.

In Times Square the MLF appeared and started attacking the sea of people in the "Crossroads of the World". They also targeted the nearby Police and fire stations to hinder efforts to control the chaos they were creating.

Down on Wall Street the Brotherhood started attacking the bankers and investment brokers.

Leading the attacks on humans were Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

Mutants attacking humans prompted responses from anti-mutant groups such as the Friends of Humanity, the Church of Purity and other pro-human groups.

The streets of New York quickly became a battleground between humans and mutants.

Winterkill keeps close to the buildings. She's had plenty of stealth training, and now its critical it gets pushed to its limits. Her scouting has turned up the information they needed. Spotting just the person she was looking for. She sneaks closer, looking about nervously.

"Blake." she calls to the guard in a loud, hoarse whisper. "Blake! Turn your com off, you idiot. Someone hacked our signal, we have visitors. Keep it down."

Things were going well. Giovanna was still getting over the shock that they were actually...dating. And nothing had interfered with the Important Stuff, so far. Now if only the Important Stuff would get somewhere.

Andrew was in his room, quite occupied and not yet near any point where he needed to be interrupted.

Giovanna had just finished showering and dressing after a workout and was combing her hair.

The telephone rang.
"Hello, Giovanna Bennet speaking."

“We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you breaking news from Times Square. An apparent bank robbery gone wrong has resulted in the deaths of at least eleven people at the 1515 Broadway branch of Bank of America. Witnesses report that a masked man entered the bank and held the patrons at gunpoint. The details of what happened next aren’t clear, but it appears the robbery was stopped when a mutant teenage boy lost control of his powers and killed everyone in the bank. The boy fled the scene and remains at large. If you see this boy please contact your local authorities immediately and do not approach him. He is considered extremely dangerous. “

“As you can see behind me, crews are still cleaning up the site and authorities have the area cordoned off and are prohibiting anyone from approaching the bank. Traffic is at a crawl through Times Square and police are suggesting that commuters seek alternate routes.”

“Anti-mutant demonstrators and pro-mutant demonstrators are already on the scene. Police are trying to keep the demonstrations peaceful, but tension is running high.”

Daniel glances over the newspaper laid out on the kitchen table. Registration Act. Church of Purity. Clean-up efforts damaged mutant-friendly shelters.

He went to the fridge, got out the lemonade, and poured two glasses before asking, simply, "Boss?"

Once Corey and David had reported what they'd realized to the Professor and Uncle Scott, Corey was left with the fact that there he couldn't think of anything useful to do until the staff figured out a little more of what had happened to Cait and the others and where they could be found.

Announcing with agitation that Cait and the Gileses and others had been missing for day and to let people know felt only marginally helpful.

He sat in the hallway, thinking.
...Please let there be some answers before he called Mom and Dad.

Kaila had spent the past two months gathering information on this group of students at Xavier's. There were quite a few of them and she had spent time getting to know each student and as much as she could about them. Gabriella wanted as much information as she could possibly get and Kaila would get it for her.

They were a wide and diverse bunch, but nothing the Brotherhood couldn't handle if the X-ers got in their way. Kaila sat with her laptop and went through the computer systems. It was slow going, but she was getting information.

Caitlyn was sitting on the shore of the lake and playing with the water. She spent more time down here than she spent in her room and she liked it that way. One could never practice with powers too much. Today she had a dozen small spheres of water orbiting around her as she sat and thought about how she was going to tell her parents she didn't want to go home to Nova Roma for the summer.

She loved her home, she just found New York to be more exciting. Professor Xavier said she could stay here for the summer and be an X-Woman now that she was graduating. There was also the option of college. She had been accepted to two smaller schools in the area and one in the city. She just had to decide on one and what she wanted to do.

Cait hated making decisions. She was a more of a "go with the flow" kind of girl.

She concentrated and increased the speed of the spheres as they orbited around her.

Kaila stood outside the gate to Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning and looked at the intercom. She didn't think this was a good idea, but she could see Gabrielle's reasoning behind it. They knew practically nothing about the mutants living here and they knew very little on the next generation of X-Men.

Gabriella had sent her here to infiltrate the school and gather as much intelligence on the residents as possible. Shard was posing as a student coming for the summer semester. She didn't like the idea, but Gabriella had told her she was the only one who could do this.

Shard took a deep breath and pressed the button on the intercom.
