New Mutants Vol.2 Issues #1-6

Former New Mutant Danielle "Dani" Moonstar is convinced to return to the Xavier school as a mutant mentor & recruiter. Dani encounters her first recruit, Sophia Montega, by chance when the young girl is arrested for using her abilities to manipulate the wind in an effort to gain the attention of her neglectful father. Dani offers to take Sofia to the Xavier school to learn to control her abilities. At the school, currently in its summer session, Sofia meets fellow students Laurie Collins (Pheromone Control), Julian Keller (Telekinesis), and Cessily Kincaid (Mercury Metal Form). Professor Xavier accepts Sophia as a new student and enlists Dani to help him recruit other possible students. Dani helps in recruiting additional students Kevin Ford (Organic Decay) and David Alleyn (Telepathic Learning). Dani is also reunited with former New Mutant Xi'an "Shan" Coy Manh who agrees to move back to the school with her younger siblings.

On a recruiting trip to New York to recruit another student, Dani and Shan discover that the last potential student, Josh Foley, may be connected to a mutant-hate group called The Reavers; led by X-Men antagonist Donald Pierce. Pierce and the Reavers plan to kick-nap Sofia's wealthy father as a way to target her and other mutants. When the students stumble into Pierce's trap, a battle ensues. When a Reaver friend falls in battle, Josh unwittingly uses his mutant healing ability to recover him, outing himself as a mutant. As the battle turns in the students favor, Pierce arrives and mortally wounds Laurie Collins. Josh attempts to heal Laurie with his ability, while Kevin, in his anger strikes at Pierce in an effort to kill him by decaying his exposed flesh. Dani, unable to physically stop Kevin, must reluctantly use her mutant ability against him; generating a horrifying illusion that he is attacking Laurie instead of Pierce. This vision causes Kevin to halt his assault. The battle now over, Josh, not accepting he is a mutant, rejects the offer to join the school. Kevin, horrified by Dani's illusion, decides to leave the school, deciding he is better living alone where he cannot hurt others. Kevin's leaving wears heavily on Dani as she feels she has failed him. Josh Foley, upon returning home, finds that he is not welcomed back by his friends or family. He arrives to the school seeking admittance, being paired with a reluctant David Alleyn as a roommate. Dani informs Professor Xavier that she will not continue recruiting and will also leave the school. Before leaving Xavier has her attend a small meeting in his office with her recently recruited students. They are each asked who they would like as a faculty adviser and they all unanimously choose Dani as the person they trust most. This convinces Dani to stay at the school as a teacher/adviser.
