scans_dailyWith Marvel redeeming themselves on a lot of fronts last week, I don't know how this was missed.
The Runaways pay a visit to the Avenger's Academy in order to bring back Old Lace, who was last seen in another dimension/time, sent away to heal (see last issue).
I found it to be another pleasant surprise.
... understanding and tolerance.
The Academy teachers don't want to force the Runaways to do anything they don't want to, but there is the issue of the two pre-teens who are part of the group, who anyone in their right mind would know that they are too young for this kind of life.
So a fight breaks out in the prehistoric past, as to who should raise Molly and Klara of the Runaways.
Needless to say, the youth ally with each other against the Pym and Tigra, and they decide to talk about their differences rather than beat each other's brains in.
And since talking isn't getting the job done, we come to magic.
An understanding/"walk in our shoes"/shared experiences spell gives everyone access to their different experiences and perspectives. The Academy teachers grant the girls permission to stay with the Runaways, with a few caveats (concerning the girls education and what not).
So the teams part ways, and we see love blossom for two members of the teams.
Awwwww.... feel the love.
Chase is just asking for trouble, isn't he?

And btw how about the fact that somehow Chase and Old Lace's empathic bond is able to transverse time and space and dimensions and he could tell she was alive through it.
Like I said, it was all ridiculous. Even by comic book standards.
