During this time, Sean Cassidy arrived on the scene with his NYPD partner where they battled the Dark Beast whilst Leland followed them. With so many present, Frost decided to use her powers to wipe the incident from all three peoples mind and made them forget encountering her. (Generation X v1 #-1)
