Shaylee was part of a group of students that were using mathematics to decipher ancient texts and better understand magic. Impressed, Zelma Stanton had surprised them with a field trip to New York City where they will compete in the Multiversal Math Bowl. This year, it was being held at Brooklyn Visions Academy. In addition to Shaylee, the team consisted of: Doyle, German, Toth, and Guslaug. Once there, they get to meet Dr. Erasmus Dawnbright, aka Equation, the leading expert on “enchantimatics,” the math of magic, and fairyworld exile. Between defending him from a fairy posse with the help of Spider-Man and both Earth schools getting first and second in the math bowl, Strange Academy made quite the impression on Equation. He has an important project he was looking to recruit for, and he believed Doyle and Shaylee were the two for the job.
Doyle and Shaylee were mind-controlled by Equation into helping him derealize magic out of existence. Their first target was Moon Knight, through whom they could target the entire Egyptian pantheon. Using a teleportation spell, the students were able to snag Shaylee. After they freed Shaylee, their strategy was for Shaylee to pretend to still be in Equation’s thrall, so that they could get close to him. When they found him, he had already derealized Doyle and was about to do the same to all of magic. He immediately figured her out and overwhelmed the group, stealing the Book of Enchantimatics. However, German remained inside the book and pulled both Equation and all his classmates in with him, where they were able to overwhelm Equation with their own math formulas.
Afterward, with the help of a recently resurrected Doctor Strange, they were able to re-realize Doyle.
