Lucas travels the country with the Witness stealing food and hearing stories about the mutant girl, Hope, who destroyed the X-Men. He is reunited with his grandmother and Shard and they live as family unit until Grandma Bishop dies. As Lucas is stealing, he is attacked and his mutant power manifests. He is recruited into the XSE but only agrees to join if his sister is too. Trevor Fitzroy, Bishop and his crew find themselves facing vampiric emplates and Shard is infected by them. Bishop takes Shard to the Witness who keeps her alive by transferring her to a digital form.
