Joscelyn Darko a.k.a Lynx had been at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters for four weeks, she had already spent seven evenings in detention for refusing to turn up to several classes and was grounded to the mansion for the next two weeks for being involved in several power duels with the older students.

Despite all of this Professor Xavier was pleased at how she had settled in at his school, she had made good friends with Remy Lebeau with whom she would converse for hours in quick fire French about their various thieving exploits. Not necessarily something he wished his students to count as their greatest achievements but considering that both students were pretty lonesome otherwise he allowed it. She was at the top of all her classes despite never having actually attended school since her parents were killed when she was just six years old.

Most of Joscelyn's time was spent hanging around the school grounds with Logan, they had been going drinking in the nearest bar most days until Scott had found out and put a stop to it much to their disappointment.

There were mixed opinions amongst the staff of the school about the close relationship between the two; Scott maintained that Logan was a bad influence on all of the children what with his drinking, smoking and gruff manner. Jean, Storm and Hank pointed out that Joscelyn had been all of these things already and that not only was Logan providing the kind of father figure that she needed so badly if she were to be controlled, but that Logan had become noticeably less bad-tempered since he had been spending time with her and was starting to get on better with all of the students. The Professor abstained, giving the impression, as always, that he knew something the rest of them didn't.
