Marvel Team-Up Annual #6, Marvel Team-Up #135, Vision & Scarlet Witch #4: Kitty is a Terrible Babysitter

Marvel Team-Up Annual #6: Cloak and Dagger, the New Mutants, and Spider-Man all team up when Sunspot and Wolfsbane are kidnapped by people who want to use them to go after Cloak and Dagger. They get shot up with a variation of the same experimental drug that created the vigilante duo. They lose control, and in the end Cloak is able to absorb them into his cloak and "pull the darkness" out of them to cure them. I'm sure this will never come up again...

Marvel Team-Up #135: Kitty Pryde is babysitting a pair of kids who are really into fantasy board games, because Professor X decided she needed to do some "normal teenage things". At the same time, Spider-Man is stopping a train hijacking. He succeeds but is knocked out and taken by the Morlocks. The kids Kitty is babysitting escape to go have an adventure, and end up in the Morlocks domain as well. Kitty goes to save them, and her and Spider-Man end up teaming up to get everyone to safety.

Vision & Scarlet Witch #4: Magneto learns that Magda was pregnant with twins when she ran away, and surprise, it turns out that the twins were Wanda and Pietro. He seeks them out to discuss this with them. It goes mediocre for him.

X-Tra Notes: None of these are particularly amazing, but MTU Annual 6 has some further consequences down the road, and V&SW 4 is the beginning of the "oh, they were his kids all along" thing. Though at this point I'm not sure if they have retconned that away again or established it as true again.
