The days following the fall of Genosha were not easy - but for mutants, they never really ever were.
Thanks to the dedicated work of mutant teleporters, the Genoshans were transported to the empty grounds of the Massachusetts Academy. The school's doors had been closed by its headmistress, Emma Frost, shortly before the Genoshan project began. While not nearly as spacious as the island had been, it provided safety and security - for now. The Quiet Council worked tirelessly to reunite loved ones, to arrange for passage to anywhere in the world for those who wished to leave, and to tend to the sick and honor the dead.
The mutant circuit of James, Casper, and Max worked to resurrect their fallen dead - some who had fallen recently, like Kristina and Waverley, and others who had been dead for longer, such as Sapphire, Cayden, and Jinx. The estimations had been that it would take almost five years for them to resurrect every mutant who had been lost - yet the circuit's work was ended prematurely due to the events of
REDACTED that fall. Mutant resurrection would not continue.
Mister Sinister fulfilled his bargain with Esme Frost, giving her the viable cloned bodies of her mother, Emma, and her fallen siblings. She transferred their essences from her mind and into their bodies, restoring Emma Frost and the Stepford Cuckoos to glory. Sinister then vanished shortly thereafter - and unbeknownst to just about anyone else, holding Alex Summers AKA Havok captive... still.
By winter, only twenty percent of Genosha's population remained at the Massachusetts Academy. Magneto had resigned his position with the Quiet Council, going off on his own to begin work on his next great mutant project. The Quiet Council collapsed soon afterwards, due to most of its members leaving, and was replaced with a new leadership structure - three leaders (black, white, and red). Reeva Payge served as the Black Queen, Emma Frost as the White Queen, and Veil as the Red Queen. A black ops team was then formed called X-Force, with the mission to specifically target anti-mutant threats and eliminate them before their people could be slaughtered once more. The Hellfire Club as a whole does not currently recognize the Massachusetts Academy as a legitimate branch, so Emma and Reeva are currently using their own personal fortunes to fund it.
What happened to the heroes of Genosha?
Veil was tapped by Reeva Payge and the recently resurrected Emma Frost to head up a new black ops group called
X-Force, as part of her role as the Red Queen of the Inner Circle. X-Force's mission was to take out anti-mutant extremists around the globe and prevent them from expanding their influence. She lives in at the X-Force base in an undisclosed location in New England. Veil still has not made time for romance.
Sunshine and Marrow signed up for X-Force as well. While neither of them want biological children, they are fostering mutant teen runaways in need. Sunshine has tried out a series of new, more mature codenames - none of them have stuck. Marrow still makes fun of her for briefly going by
Plague Queen.
Callie also joined X-Force as part of its inaugural team. The second in command of the team, she also was given a telepathic download by Emma Frost on flying aircraft, allowing Callie to transport the team wherever they need to go. She is incredibly active at the Massachusetts Academy, helping out the mutant refugees whenever she can. After the collapse of the Quiet Council, Callie took the position of Red Knight within the Inner Circle, acting as the second in command to Veil.
Sapphire was one of the lucky mutants resurrected by the power of the mutant circuit of James, Casper, and Max. The circuit was forced to disband because of
[REDACTED]. She ended up taking a position with X-Force as well, which ended up basically being a very #GirlBoss team.
Max trained in the use of his powers (finally) under Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme and Master of the Mystic Arts. Pursuing a romantic relationship with the resurrected Ben Hargreeves, Max
also ended up adopting a baby boy. After the conclusion of his training, he joined the X-Men to attempt to help his fellow mutants once more.
James, relieved to have not murdered Casper after all, moved to New Orleans to focus on his small family. Although he stepped away from mutant affairs for a while (an omega level baby is a handful, and Casper is more of a handful), James did end up setting up an underground clinic. There, he offers healing to anyone in need - mutant or human, friend or foe.
Jack moved to New Orleans as well, given that pretty much all of his family moved there. He lives apart from them and has reopened his practice as a private investigator. On the side, he's been researching dark magic, with the goal of finding a way to kill his annoyingly immortal father, Nathaniel Essex AKA Mister Sinister. He's a doting uncle to baby Danny.
Casper moved to New Orleans to start a new life with James and their son, Danny. It helped that his mother, Renegade, had also moved back to the area with Casper's niece, Flower Child. The road was not always easy, but Casper has maintained his sobriety. To bring in some money, he has started performing as a drag queen, using the stage name
Robyn Caskets.
Echo and his boyfriend Legion decided to go on a bit of a tour / road trip together. They've been traveling the world, seeing the sights and helping out mutants in need wherever they go. Veil enjoys receiving tacky post cards from them and considers Legion to be part of the family now.
Zari returned home to the future and parallel universe of Earth-257, accompanied by her girlfriend, Andy. Her parents then decided to move back to Earth-666 and enroll Zari at the prestigious Avengers Academy, where promising young superheroes could be mentored and trained by legendary heroes. Her time as a Valkyrie-in-training is almost over.
Andy traveled through time and the multiverse with her girlfriend, Zarina - while clutching the acheron containing her evil immortal mother. Like Zari, Andy has enrolled at Avengers Academy - under the name Andy Drummond Lensherr-Gallio. Her adopted father, Magneto, was relieved when Andy contacted him that she was alright - even if over a decade had gone by since he had last heard from her...
Kristina was one of the lucky mutants resurrected by the power of the mutant circuit of James, Casper, and Max. The circuit was forced to disband because of
[REDACTED]. She initially joined X-Force under Veil's leadership. However, she plans on leaving the team to begin a family, ideally somewhere where mutants can live without fear. Her sister was overjoyed to see Kristina alive and well.
Miranda rented a house in New Orleans with Renegade, and the two friends are co-parenting Purple Mongoose and Flower Child. She has not spoken to Magneto since the explosive events at the Hellfire Gala - nor has Miranda contacted her other children, SHIELD agent Freddie Flynn and X-Man Guin Stark.
