Gimmick (Carmen Cruz) the token mutant of her former team, Children of the Atom; talks to her friend, Buddy Bartholomew about her time in Krakoaland and her fight against the rogue mutants - Infestation and Snot. Gimmick is a student of Bishop (Lucas Bishop) who trains her to fight, sharpen her mutant skill and to work as a team. Besides Gimmick, the students of Bishop are Graymalkin (Jonas Graymalkin), Specter (Dallas Gibson), D-Cel (Miranda Manuel) and Kafka the newest X-Kid. Firestar (Angelica Jones) interrupts Bishop by telling him that there are rogue mutants causing trouble at Central Park. Gimmick vouches to go on a mission to stop Snot and Infestation at the park.

Snot and Infestation are scaring the humans when they are interrupted by "Bishop" who tells them that they should go for training with the X-Man instead of causing trouble. However, the two bad mutants laugh off and they attack, forcing Gimmick to drop her disguise. Gimmick calls for Specter, Graymalkin and D-Cel to subdue Snot while she and Kafka could try to stop Infestation. Unfortunately, this doesn't go well when Infestation sics her bugs onto Gimmick and Kafka while Graymalkin and Specter get thrown off. Even though Gimmick and her team managed to get their upperhand on Snot and Infestation, they failed to apprehend the bad mutants as they ran away to Limbo Embassy where they are considered as untouchable to Krakoaland.

This story might be a set-up to Steve Foxe's new upcoming comic Dark X-Men.
