Have there been any particular teen interactions [between the students] that were unexpectedly fun to write?

Sims: Monet is amazingly fun to write. She’s the super-strong,
bulletproof Veronica Lodge of the Xavier School. Plus, not to get too
deep into spoilers, but while we definitely started out exploring
Jubilee and Chamber as a couple, there’s something that happens in the
story that really made me want to turn that into a love triangle.

Oh, @blithefool!

:O

– GENERATION X –

I would totally resurrect that title. These characters had such a good dynamic especially in the first year of episodes, I think they could still work today, each one of them have evolved so much, it would be fun to see them reunite.
The reason for their gathering would simply be that the school team would have no telepath to operate Cerebro, so they would need Emma to travel around the world and try and recruit the mutants survivor.
She would ask her former students to join, as she would really trust them to give their best to save the next, and probably last, generation  of mutants.
it would have a race-against-time feel, with the characters always on the move, travelling all around the world. This would be a good opportunity to visit lots of cool marvel places.
So the team would be composed of 

CHAMBER : still pissed Age of X left him with half his face off again. still super sceptical about the X-Men way of doing things. still one of my favorite character ever 🙂

EMMA FROST : She has had it. She can’t stand the hypocrisy of non-mutants heroes, she has goal in mind, save the mutant race at any cost. Without realizing, she takes over Cyclops role. The faculty regularly questions her sometimes ruthless methods but, like the honey badger, she does not give a shit, as long as she saves  more mutants kids.
She is still in love with Cyclops but has an ongoing affair with another “damaged good” : Forge and they have an agreement to never talk about their respective “work”
 
M: having lost one of her little sister to the terrigen mist, Monet is driven by anger and rage, she totally support Emma’s views, and would actually go even further in the confrontation with non-mutants heroes and especially Inhumans

HUSK: with the tutelage of Emma, Paige has regained a bit of her sanity and is even more focus on controlling her powers so she would not keep on losing her identity each time she sheds her skin. She has close ties with some kids back at the academy ( Gentle, Anole, Mercury), that help her stay grounded. She is still the lovable over-archiever, political conscious and caring girl. and still my favorite mutant ever.

JUBILEE : As she witness the death of another young mutant, Jubilee realize she is still relevant and can still make a change. Suppported by students at the academy (bling! trance, rockslide), she agrees to join Emma in her globe-travelling quest. Afraid that he might be an easy target if he stays at the school, she task Kymera to take care of Shogo, making sure the two of them regularly rejoin them along their endless trip.

Their adventures would lead them to meet several foes and menaces

– The Hellfire Club’s New Hellions : Kiden Nixon (from NYX) codenamed Pause, Host (from  the Mysttique serie), Liam Connaughton (from X-men Legacy) codenamed T4, Face (from the Inferno baby), Kaufmann (from X-force annual) codenamed Bayonet, Ginny Guzman (from uncanny X-force) codenamed MindMoth, Tucker (from Cable & X-Force) codenamed Oceaneer
– The Orphan makers, a band of fanatics bent on collecting the youngest mutants as trophies
– a new and vicious Upstarts group, sworn to become the last and most worthy mutants alive

I would buy this so fast! Also, beautiful art as always.

Jono, Angelo, and the totally accidental bleaching of every bit of clothing Jono owns.

It wasn’t that Angelo didn’t think Jono could be intimidating. He was a walking piece of leather and attitude, and he had the uncanny ability of expressing “fuck you” in thirty-seven different ways with just his eyes. That, and Angelo had seen some of the things Jono had done with his powers, either when they were training or actually in a fight, and he didn’t doubt for a second that Jono was up there with Emma and Monet as far as dangerous teammates went.

But it was hard to remind himself of any of that when Jono looked like someone had just stabbed his new puppy right in front of him.

“Look, it’s not…I mean, maybe we can fix this.”

Jono’s hands twitched around the blotchy shirt in his lap.

Maybe not.

It was supposed to have been a prank. Just a simple, harmless little prank, probably followed by lots of “oh, lighten up!” puns. Just a little bleach in the wash when Jono finally crawled out of his dungeon pit to do his laundry. Jubilee, of course, having never actually used bleach in her life (“Have you seen how much color I wear, Angelo? Please.”) didn’t know how much to use even under good circumstances. What had been “just enough to be annoying” very quickly turned into “oh dear God, we’re going to die.”

And then Jubilee had conveniently disappeared into town to see a movie with Paige, leaving Angelo to deal with a more or less literal fire-breathing dragon whose entire wardrobe had been replaced with that of an 80s-era hair band member with poor impulse control and a shaky hand.

“Jono?”

Angelo stepped into the laundry room, brow furrowed, and leaned his hip against the washing machine. Jono sat on the floor exactly where he had been for the past five solid minutes as he sorted through his clothes in search of anything, just one thing, that had survived. When he’d reached the mottled black and dingy white t-shirt at the bottom of the pile, his will to keep searching (along with what appeared to be his will to live) completely left him.

He still hadn’t said anything beyond that initial what the fuck happened.

“Hey, uh, I know this looks bad. But first of all, I’d like to point out that this was all Jubilee’s idea.” Angelo wasn’t the type to throw his friends under the bus, but when that friend bailed on him and left him to take the fall on his own? Different story. “Second, we can totally fix this.”

Did I ever tell you where I got this shirt?

Angelo blinked, then shook his head.

Before I came over here, Morrissey did a surprise show at a pub my band had a gig at. I tripped over my own feet just to get a glimpse of him onstage, and after the show, he stuck around to chat with the other bands playing that night. He gave me this shirt off his back.

“Really?”

No, you idiot. I bought it off the discount rack at a shop. Point is, it’s still my bloody shirt and I still didn’t want it ruined. And this!

Jono yanked a pair of jeans out of the pile in the basket and threw them at Angelo. They landed in a sad pile of bleached black denim at his feet.

What the hell am I supposed to wear now?

“They’re just splotchy, man. It’s not that ba–”

Angelo stopped short at the thirty-eighth variation of fuck you Jono leveled at him.

I am going to kill you both. I am going to strangle you with my worthless jeans, since that’s all they’re bloody well good for now, and then I’m going to hang you outside my door as a warning to everyone else.

“You wouldn’t. I’m too cute for that.”

Jono held up a dark gray sock that hadn’t escaped the bleach assault, either. His eyes narrowed accusingly, prompting Angelo to take a half step backwards.

“You’ve had those socks forever. Look, they got holes in them and everything. They need to be put out to pasture anyway.”

With alarming calmness, Jono picked up another pair of recently created acid wash jeans and stretched one leg of the pants between his hands to test the fabric’s strength. When he looked up, Angelo was almost certain he saw a curious twitch in Jono’s left eye.

Run, Angelo.
