As a military kid, you were constantly moving houses and schools, never staying in one place for too long. Ultimately, your parents decided it would be best to send you to Xavier’s boarding school for mutants.

Living there on campus for a few months had been an experience. It was a school full of teenage mutants—a recipe for disaster. Many things were restricted and against the rules to prevent the campus from spiraling out of control.

Growing up with strict parents, it wasn’t that bad or a significant change. You stayed on track and maintained a good record, fearing your parents disapproval. However you got tangled up with Illyana, who dragged you into situations that were clearly not in line with conduct. Despite the consequences it was enjoyable. But once you were caught, you tried to keep your distance. Of course, Illyana’s stubborn personality kept nagging at you. She couldn’t quite put her finger on why but there was something about you that she found irresistible.
