Origin
At some point she was recruited by Tobias Messenger for his team the Promise. Gracie and another member of the Promise Craig seem to have some sort of romantic relationship with on another.
X-Men: The Hidden Years
When the X-Men were still fairly new in the world Tobias and the rest of the Promise decided to try and take the newest members of the X-Men, Lorna Dane and Alex Summers unwillingly into their group. Craig was able to use his power called dreamcasting to pit the X-Men against each other making them each appear as monstrous looking creatures to one another which caused them to take each other out. Havok was the only one remaining until Gracie kissed him and used some sort of energy drain mutant power to take him out as well. Since Lorna and Alex had the least connection to Charles Xavier and his beliefs and perceptions of mutants Tobias felt they’d come around to their cause more easily. Lucy Robinson talked Tobias into also taking Warren Worthington III as well. Through the use of “teaching circuits” Tobias had hoped the new recruits would wake up with an understanding of his cause and join willingly after that.
However Lucy was able to rig her and Angel’s suspended animation cylinder causing them to awaken in a much shorter time. She wanted out of the Promise because she believed Tobias has become obsessed with his dream and that he doesn’t care who’s lives he ruins in obtaining his goal. Lucy herself abandoned her family for Tobias’s crusade to save the world.
Eventually Lucy was able to wake up Lorna along with the rest the Promise but suspiciously Tobias wasn’t able to awaken even though his vitals were normal. It’s suggested that Lucy had something to do with it. Gracie and the remaining members of Promise decided it best to remain awake and help mutants now before a war that may or may not even happen.
Gracie and Craig decided to adopt Simon in a way since he was still in the body of a kid they thought it better for him to stick with them.
