Miss King was employed at a welfare center, located in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. An area which was known as a working-class and immigrant neighborhood . Â
Â
Warren Worthington and Jean Grey jointly applied for a welfare loan. Claiming that it was needed to help their teacher. Professor X was at the time help prisoner by Factor Three in Europe. The X-Men didn’t have enough to travel there.Â
Â
Miss King was sympathetic. But wanted to first clear up a few thinks. Starting with the residency requirement for the loan. Then contact the parents of the two students. Warren foolishly replied that his parents were out on a Sea Cruise. Giving Miss King the impression that there was no real need for money here. She suggested wiring the Worthingtons for the money needed.Â
Â
Miss King stared from the window as the “poor” students drove away in a Rolls-Royce. She dismissed the entire tale as a “college initiation stunt”.Â
