Back to the school with ye. It's a whole big get together back at the Academy. The kids needed a little downtime after all that's happened (Onslaught, Emplate, etc.), so they have a barbeque. Banshee trys to comfort Paige who's worried about the future, and after Ms. Frost's salad attacks her, she and Monet share a moment with some Almond Rocha. Penance eats all the food and shows some scars on her face, Jubes tried to save Ev from his evil chip-hogging ways, and Franklin Richards joins the Academy. In the meantime, Angelo and Jono hitchhike across the US and are picked up by... Howard the Duck?! Yup.
Also, the head of Operation: Zero Tolerence, Bastion, is doing some checkin' up on our friends of GenX.
