Synopsis: The New Mutants gather to watch their fellow teammate Karma get an unwanted make-over from their teacher Stevie Hunter. Making a joke, Psyche accidentally uses her mutant power and pulls horribly real images from Karma's past of her parents getting killed and her and her siblings being kidnapped by Thai pirates. Enraged Karma attacks her until Sunspot pulls her off. Sorry and upset Psyche leaves the room and wanders through the mansion and comes across the X-Men's quarters. Later the New Mutants are summoned by Professor Xavier to the Danger Room for their first Danger Room session. Their mission is to simply cross the room. Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Sunspot and Karma fail and when it's Psyche's turn, she runs away in fear. Wolfsbane later finds Psyche on the Xavier Estate by using her wolf tracking senses. Wolfsbane tells her that she wishes she could stay in wolf form forever. Not so happy with her powers, Psyche tells Wolfsbane how she showed her family their deaths and that the school was her last hope. Leaving her to herself, Wolfsbane joins the other New Mutants and leave the school for an outing to the mall. They are spotted and followed by two agents of Project Wideawake. Dani however, returns to the mansion and sneaks back into the Danger Room, where she activates the test sequence designed for her. Although the program involves robots that can not be affected be her mental power, Dani accomplishes what none of the others could do and crossed the room. However, she is suddenly zapped by a ray from behind and when she comes around, she is once more in the Danger Room, in an X-Men training scenario involving a huge monster, and the safety protocols have been switched off. Meanwhile Moira MacTaggert and Illyana Rasputin meet Israeli Ambassador Gabrielle Haller and learn that she has an autistic son with psi-powers. She needs help, but doesn't want Xavier to get involved as he is unaware of being the boy's father.
