Wolverine has gotten all of the Generates to Logan’s safehouse.  X-99 wants to go by X-6-7, so she has been quick to Google things.  X-97 thinks the name change is a disgrace to X-67, but X-6-7 points out it is two different number / names.  X-6-7 is sleeping in the room with Gabby and Jonathan, the most real of Wolverines.  X-6-7 calls X-97 mid, and Gabby finally steps in, and tells X-6-7 that she can’t use her phone anymore.  X-74 is going around, portaling into neighbors’ rooms, which seems to go against the very idea of hiding out.  Jonathan startles X-74, and he almost loses concentration as he falls into one of the rooms, but gets himself back in time, unnoticed.  Except he lands on Jonathan, so he very much notices him, and begins an attack.  X-97 destroys the toilet, and X-6-7 says both cringe, and the Skibidi Toilet War is real, so even I’m losing the joy here. 

Wolverine takes them all, in costume, to pay respects at the Krakoa Treehouse in Central Park.  X-6-7 uses the word, rizz, when Wolverine finds a secret note.  A man and his very much mutant presenting family are being harassed, and the Kinney sisters and the Generates head to Jackson Heights to help the family out.  I like that the Generates are not very good at the whole rescue thing.  X-74 teleported the family to safety, but X-97 threw too many, and too big of, time bombs everywhere.  X-6-7 took too long trying to figure out what she should shift into.  She finally settled on a giant cat, which was pretty cute. 

They all get a great post-battle dinner, a Number 25, with Chicken, which does sound amazing.  At dinner, they pick their mutant names.

X-6-7 will be Surprise!, don’t forget the explanation mark, just like Bling!.

X-97 will be Time Bomb.

X-74 will be Point.

Wolverine provides her origin story.  Gabby mentions how you can change your codename, she’s already been Badger, and now Scout.  She’s still open to a name change.

Issue ends with a thud, as in, Logan collapsed at the safe house, and we finally see his broken right claws, as I’ve been curious if other titles would reflect it.  He only popped the left claws in Hellfire Murder, which I needed pointed out to me. 

Such a great issue here.  Giving the Generates their non-number name shows that these are characters worth investing attention into.
