History:
(X-Men: Blue I#3 (fb) - BTS) - While in the streets of Barcelona young Belen suddenly manifested her mutant abilities, feeling a strange headache and sudden fever. Unable to control her newfound abilities Belen caused an earthquake which cracked open the streets. Mere moments later five giant Sentinels arrived, not to kill but safe and help Belen who was unaware the Sentinels had been reprogrammed by Bastion to safe mutantkind. The Sentinels weren't the only ones to arrive as a group of time-displaced X-Men arrived as well.
(X-Men: Blue I#3) - Belen watched as the X-Men fought the Sentinels, surprised why they would attack those who'd come to help her Belen demanded the X-Men stop their assault. The Sentinels then revealed they'd been sent to aid Belen, calling her Emerging Mutant 213345 after which they placed Belen and the X-Men in force field bubbles and brought them back to Bastion's base. Upon their arrival, Bastion, a feared antagonist of the X-Men, revealed his presence and explained he'd come to change his ways and wished to save mutantkind. Truly believing him, Belen went up to Bastion noting that although she wasn't an X-Man she surely wanted to help him any way she could. Belen, however, was unaware the X-Men were telepathically discussing Bastion's utility function amongst each other. The X-Men realized Bastion's utility function was to kill mutants, with mutantkind nearing extinction he had to save them so he could kill them later. Young Jean Grey then confronted Bastion with their theory which he easily confessed to, hearing his confession Belen pulled away from Bastion's arms and sought shelter while the X-Men attacked Bastion and the Sentinels only to watch as they teleported away, fleeing. Belen was disappointed, hoping to do some good, Jean then proposed to take her to Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach in New York City.
(X-Men: Blue I#3 - BTS) - Belen joined the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach student body.
(X-Men: Gold II#7 (fb) - BTS) - When Manhattan was encased inside a dome of the Darkforce Dimension the X-Men's leader Kitty Pryde decided it was best to put the school on lockdown. However, in doing so she inadvertently trapped the school with mutant killer the X-Cutioner who'd wanted revenge since his son Alex was murdered during "Magneto's" (Kuan-Yin Xorn) attack on Manhattan. Making his way through the school the X-Cutioner found Belen in the school's laundromat and shot the young girl in the head after which he carved an X into her forehead.
(X-Men: Gold II#7) - One of the younger X-Men, Anole found Belen's lifeless corpse and quickly alarmed the X-Men who examined her corpse. Kitty Pryde then asked Anole to keep the incident a secret until they knew what they were dealing with. Not much later the X-Men found another student, Oscar, dead, X-Cutioner was eventually defeated by the X-Men.

Whenever an X-Man tells you they know a great school...turn around and run away, poor students.
