   Summary

   Bedelia Hayes is an independent journalist that writes on mutant rights issues. While she was gathering evidence about the slavery of mutants in Genosha, Bedelia ended up "rescued" by the Brotherhood of Mutants. Since she fights for mutant rights, this shouldn't be a problem - except she is human. Now Bedelia must navigate her job, her love life, and unravel the mystery of who is behind Genosha's technology, all with Magneto holding an ax over her head.
