No way, yours has plot. I'm very eager to see where you go with it, and I really like your angle that he's trying to find a "good" way to use his powers.
This takes place after Kevin leaves Xavier's the first time (which happened at the end of New Mutants #6), when he tried to kill Donald Pierce and Dani used her powers on him. The picture is actually from New X-Men #3 when Dani and Emma talk him into coming back.
Now, of course, Kevin's run off yet again in #22. If the Hellions don't look for him in a junkyard then I give up on them.
Because he really doesn't forgive - not himself, not Dani, not anyone.
It's hard to come down on one side or the other between Dani and Kevin. On the one hand, she was right: she had to stop him from killing, she had no other safe means at her disposal, and she did apologise to him. On the other hand, her facial expressions in the comics are so distasteful. You can't escape the impression that this kid creeps her out and she's not sorry he's leaving -- except for the reason that it means she's failed.
And yet obviously Kevin has to let this go, somehow. Brian calls him "a black hole of bad energy" and he's not far wrong.
