After a lengthy process made more difficult by the former prisoners attacking anyone not dressed as a prisoner the X-Pendibles gathered all the former prisoners and took them back to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The guards were left tied up with rocks, metal, and other things.

Six months have passed since the mission in Mexico. No one has seen Tatiana Mystikos or the mutants that escaped with her since that day. The telepathic mutants at the school have been unable to locate them either, something or someone was shielding them. Some of the mutants rescued from Mexico returned to their 'normal' lives while others chose to remain at the school under the care of Booker Smith. Booker found his schedule quite full these days. Emma Frost stayed around for a while but she eventually left to regather her own students and restart her school.

After the Mexico mission Rose Mary cut off ties to everyone beyond what was absolutely necessary to do her school & X-Pendibles work, she spent her time in her room studying or feeding the squirrels. The clothes that Tatiana bought for her had six months of dust. The closet's door knob had six months of dirt as well.

In New York the law firm of Smith, Foster, & Samson was under new/old management. After the Mexico mission Tatiana returned to her old stomping grounds and took charge. She turned all the mutants that came with her into Dhampirs. The named partners and select few other partners were in the know about the true power behind their law firm. They began an intensive training & tutoring regimen. Tatiana also led a hostile take over of Alkali Corporation. Slowly piece by piece was acquired, but she has been unable to acquire it all, but she wasn't through with them yet.

The former president of Alkali Corporation has been in jail ever since awaiting trail and while countries duked it out over who got to put him on trial first. He is kept in solitary confinement for his own safety after a prisoner attempted to murder him.
