Abigail's powers first manifested without warning in a factory set in the Tristan Da Cunha off the British isles. The New Mutants were dispatched in order to protect her from what was perceived to be a human on mutant hate crime resultant of the calamity, but were astonished to find that none of the islanders; not even her mother, were intent on harming her. Warpath could see that the people were protecting their own and released the girl back into her family's care. As an extension of good will, he had Magik and their students continue helping with relief efforts. They also offered Abigail sanctuary on Krakoa in case she ever needed it to her mother.
