Illyana Rasputin in X-Terminators #5

Aw, look at that! Illyana gets a cute kid sidekick to bring out her protective side and make her reflect on her own childhood trauma in a compelling way. I’m sure we can look forward to a long, well-explored relationship between Yana and Beastie that returns again and again though many books.

…Wait, Bo? Sapna? What are you two doing here?

Oh, you’re here to come pick up Beastie to take back with you to the farm up-state where you two now live, never to be heard from again? Yeah, makes sense.
