...second ongoing series.

The issue opens in the near immediate aftermath of the kids' escape from the Morlock Tunnels after the Magus' had hunted them there, teleported once more into Illyana's site-of-abuse turned kingdom, Limbo.

Roberto is the first to awaken among them...

...help they can get; but Malice's influence has had enough of its intended effect: the wearing and weary bonds among the X-Men are now paper thin–all it took was a push.

Touch springs from the heart, but if that heart has been tainted with malice... the X-Men have already lost.

...bait, the team drag Malice from Rogue's body for Ororo to wrestle with.

But whereas Ali denies the darkness within her, Ororo accepts these dark parts of her identity; they are *hers*, not Malice's to control.

Rogue is next to be possessed, and flies out of the nightclub to introduce herself to the assembled Dallas PD, who are more than happy to believe...

With awareness of the Marauders' identities as (mostly) mutants, the question of "who" is to be trusted plays out in the issue's latter half, first playfully among the Mansion's temporary and permanent residents and later much more seriously.

The spar between Logan & Callisto...

...New Mutants, and it will continue to do so as her character is given a chance to develop during the Run.

Back at the mansion, Rogue (computer genius?) informs Ororo that it's no use fixing Cerebro–its mechanics go beyond her capacity.

(Which, were there any doubts of this?)

Having grown frustrated with playing second fiddle to the wildly successful Lila–and infuriated by the way her own career failed–there's a lot of malice to be taken advantage of within Ali.
