The New Mutants face the Hulk in the Danger Room which freaks David out because the same thing happened in his illusion about becoming president. He starts snubbing Noriko because, in that possible future, he was married to her. Kevin tells Cyclops and Emma about the relationship between Josh and Rahne. Rahne is reprimanded and leaves the school. Laurie is heartbroken and breaks up with Josh, using her pheromone powers on him when he won't leave her alone about it. David lets Josh know he is on the outs with the rest of the squad.

Indexer Notes

This story is the first full appearance of Pixie. She is depicted as a member of the Paragon team and her first name (Megan) is given as Rahne speaks to her. She is shown as having short hair with red circles on her cheeks with colorful butterfly like wings. In her next appearance in issue #14, the circles on her face have become individual freckles and her wings are thinner and more translucent. In her only previous appearance, she is shown in one panel of issue #5 sitting at a table in the cafeteria with a number of other unidentified students. Oddly, the first few issues of this series had a number of background characters, both male and female, with pixie wings which are clearly not the character that would become Pixie.
