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.

"What makes The Trial so damning is that it refuses to balance the despair of this with a glimpse of an emancipating elsewhere. If Kafka had been a naive romantic, he would have put Josef K. on a train to the countryside, or perhaps on a boat to New Zealand, to discover a space not wholly damaged by culture and so a place of potential freedom."
- John Gibson, "On the Ethical Character of Literature," Kafka's The Trial: Philosophical Perspectives

Okay I’m officially obsessed with the X-teens lineup from Steve Foxe’s Pride story: Gimmick (Carmen Cruz), D-Cel (Miranda Manuel), Kafka, Graymalkin & Specter (Dallas Gibson). I need ALL the stories with these five.
Like Carmen and Miranda have both been faves since their debuts and I’ve been headcanoning them as friends forever so having them actually turn up on the same squad is just.....my power, how did I do it, but to throw in my obscure Z-list fave Specter at the same time??? *chef’s kiss*
And Kafka is such a great name for a bug-themed mutant lolol.

Oprah Winfrey: Tell us more about how God “speaks” to you. Bradley: Right. That. It’s super hard to explain to y’all, but I’ll give it a go. You saw Bumblebee, right? OW: The Transformers movie? B: Yep. Remember how 🐝 communicates? Cause he lost the ability to speak and humans aren’t on his level, anyway. OW: Something about songs and lyrics, if I recall. B: So, our brains 🧠 have, like, limitless potential and we use a fraction of our cognitive capability. With training, you can rewire your neural pathways and access paranormal powers. Neuroplasticity. Google it. OW: I will. B: Mystics, artists, and people with genetic predispositions to mental illness can tap into this, and you can brainwash people, too. Like in Bourne Identity. It’s all real. Ask DARPA. Ask the Russians. Thing is, it’s super risky to go there. Nietzsche called it the abyss. Kafka drove himself crazy. And don’t get me started on secret societies like the Illuminati and Bohemian Grove and Oracle-CIA collaboration. You have to be careful not to go all Conspiracy theory like Mel Gibson did. OW: Because most people would think you’re crazy. B: Yeah, I get that. My family think I should be on medication 💊 but that only slows me down. I was scared to come out as the Second Coming of Jesus on social media for years. But it had to be done once I realized that the Apocalypse was coming. This weekend really did the trick. Friday the 13th and a blood moon at the same time. It was go time. I put Black Eyed Peas on my iPhone and have been evangelizing ever since. And obviously that’s why I’m running for President. Seems like a good place to get started with the whole Final Judgement thing. OW: (speechless). B: Yeah. I get that a lot. [end of transcript].
