[quote=@Mao Mao]I am interested in what [@Bounce] brings to the table with his character.[/quote]

First up is a short story that will just frame why each of the kids (Toro, Fauna, Carter, and Rubbermaid to start) are at the Institute. In the case of Fauna, the story is going to be that the Texas governor is among several Wideawake America Movement associated politicians bussing mutants to so-called "Sanctuary Cities" and Fauna was literally put on a bus by his family to get rid of him. (Obviously this is very close to the nose for real-life politics and if [@Retired] or anyone would like me to nix that, just let me know). Apart from establishing the cast, the story will focus on the kids' belief that the X-Mansion is haunted.

The second story will be a field trip, where the kids travel to recruit Abigail for the Institute, owing to her town in Scotland being accepting of her and it viewed as a safe experience. If there's no issue with it, I may make use of Moira MacTaggart and Muir Island for the story, introducing [url=https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Plague_(Earth-616)]Plague[/url] (the Pestilence horseman from the Fall of the Mutants storyline) as an antagonist.

Third up will be a trip to Cosco when delivery services to the Institute are temporarily suspended due to political backlash over companies outted on social media for supporting mutants (obviously [@Mao Mao] can turn this off), leading to the discovery of some Morlocks and introducing the kids to Anole, who should be my final new cast member for the team, and will use either Purifiers or Friends of Humanity as the antagonist.

On the far horizon, I want to do something with Carter and the Shadow King (the plot in the comics that was dropped along with the character of Carter when the writer departed the series), but I'd probably need another telepath along for that ride.

And that's all the Toro that's fit to bounce.
