BIOGRAPHY - Page 4
Following the disbanding of the X-Corps, Paige returned to Xavier‘s mansion with the X-Men. During that time she  developed romantic feelings for Warren Worthington III, aka Archangel, and as a result had earned herself the scorn of Stacy X, a recent addition to the X-Men who too had a crush on the winged mutant.
Able to “read” the pheromones that Paige was emitting, Stacy embarrassed Paige in front of the X-Men by revealing her feelings to everyone else. Husk ran away and found a shoulder to cry on in school nurse Annie Ghazikhanian, who she confided in. If Paige’s dream of becoming an X-Man had ever really ended in the first place, it now returned. [Uncanny X-Men #413]
After discovering the Worthington’s company was funding Lobo Technologies, which was actually a front for a  group of savage mutant werewolves, Paige helped the X-Men to investigate. While fighting the werewolves, Paige and Warren were separated from the team and ended up both seriously hurt. They barely escaped into the woods, where they passed out, lying on top of each other. Archangel recently having undergone a secondary mutation, his blood now possessed miraculous healing properties, which brought back Paige from the brink of death and accelerated both of their healing. The near death experience helped Warren to finally come to terms with his former lover Psylocke’s death, and he also realized how much Paige meant to him. After this adventure, they started dating. [Uncanny X-Men #417-420]
Things looked promising for Paige – she had officially achieved her dream of becoming an X-Man and, with Stacy X quitting and leaving the mansion, there seemed to be no more interference in her and Warren’s growing relationship. However, Jono returning to the mansion from a week-long undercover mission changed that. Paige barely got the chance to deal with the new love triangle she found herself caught in, as, a few days later, operatives of the Church of Humanity crucified several mutants on the front lawn of the mansion. To her and Jono’s horror, two of these mutants happened to be their old teammates, Jubilee and Skin. Taxing Archangel’s healing capabilities to the limit, the X-Men were able to resurrect some of the victims, Jubilee being among them. Chamber and Husk were both thrilled but it was bittersweet when they realized that Skin was not coming back. [Uncanny X-Men #422-423]
As always, the X-Men grieved and moved on. Paige eventually chose Warren over Jono, and Chamber decided to use his emotional state to the X-Men’s advantage as it provided a good cover for his apparently switching sides and joining the new Weapon X program. At the same time,  him going undercover allowed Paige to be with Warren without fearing to hurt Jono’s feelings. Jubilee, on the other hand, decided to stay at the mansion and resumed her close friendship with Paige, who helped her through losing Angelo. During a visit to Angelo’s grave, the two girls learned of the graveyard’s owner wanting to dig up his body, because of several other tenants having complained about a mutant being buried there. Despite Paige and Jubilee’s best efforts to stop it, Angelo was unearthed and cremated. [Weapon X (2nd series) #15, 18, Uncanny X-Men #427]
 A few weeks later, Warren suddenly broke it off with Paige – the huge age gap between them being only one reason for his decision. When Paige learned of a crisis in her family home in Kentucky, the X-Men accompanied her to deal with a group of mutant-haters that were oppressing the Guthrie family. During their stay, Warren had a heart-to-heart talk with Paige’s mother, during which he confessed that his actual reason for breaking up was that he loved Paige so much that he feared he could not handle her getting hurt or even killed in the line of duty. Overhearing all this, Paige stormed into the room, calling Warren an idiot for not talking about his fears to her. They reached an understanding and brought their relationship to a more serious level, Warren literally taking her to the skies. [Uncanny X-Men #437-441]
Shortly after Xavier’s departure to Genosha, Cyclops took over as headmaster of the school he decided to reorganize the X-Men. He took both Husk and Archangel of the active rosters, as he wanted Warren to go to Genosha and keep a watchful eye over Professor Xavier’s activities there.[X-Men (2nd series) #157]
Paige left together with Warren, though their trip to Genosha was postponed by Warren working on a new project he began with Hank McCoy: Mutantes Sans Frontieres, a pro-mutant organization that would operate where the X-Men or their extension, the X-Corporation, had no authority. The gala reception in celebration of the local office in  Zanzibar, was interrupted by a group called the Weaponeers who were being employed by Viper. Husk and Archangel did their best to fight the Weaponeers but, if not for some of Xavier’s Genoshan friends joining them and the Viper eventually switching sides, they wouldn’t have survived. [Excalibur (2nd series) #11-13]
It is unknown what the future will have next in store for Paige Guthrie, but for now she seems to have put the X-Men behind her she is enjoying being in a happy relationship, although she is not above some occasional jealousy.
