Family Matters

Summary

  Five years ago, the White Queen tried to bully Christopher Aaronson into her Massachusetts Academy, but he refused. He was also Tarot's boyfriend.

  The present: Tarot (supposedly killed in Uncanny X-Men 281-282), contacts James, warning of danger without and within.

  Domino found out Jesse's parents (Kyle and Nina) were spies and takes Jesse to their supervisor, Saunders, who is incoherent in a nursing home.

  Jesse takes pills. Paige calls Sam to let him know their mom is doing okay. Tabitha wants some time apart from Bobby, but he trails her. She is meeting her dad, who introduces his fourth wife. He was scared by near-death (iss. 49) and has joined a new-age cult, the Triune Understanding. Kale examines Dani's new power. She says it's not magic, but cosmic.

  Domino and Jesse break into the house of the man watching Saunders and are attacked by Magma and a cyborg, Paradigm. They nearly escape but are stopped by Christopher, who can scramble their brain functions.

  He says Saunders took him to a lab because he was a mutant, and years later he escaped. He has started the New Hellions and invites Jesse to join.
