Omnia stood up and floated a little bit off the ground.. "Your welcome!.. It's honestly my honor
that I could do this.. Tonight is the first step into something special.. I do want to address a
couple of things.. First my husband En Sabah Nur does not have Forge.. If we did we would
returned him to all of you as a token of good faith!.. My husband wants peace and unity among
mutants.. Second thing I want to address is from what you saw from my memory is that your
people have been around from the early days of life on this planet.. It was the Phoenix that came
from the stars and created the first of your people.. The war on Okkara with Annihilation caused
the great land to split into two living islands.. The Island of Krakoa and the island of Arakko.. The
majority of your people went into the Hell dimension of Amenth.. Before the modern age Otherworld
was more connected to this world and your people and the fairies socialized.. The humans called you
mutants but to Otherworld we called you The Witchbreed.. Just as old as the fairies.. History made
you all invisible or changed the narration of who and what all of you are.. The day is coming when the
Witchbreed of old and their descendants will return from Amenth to this one.. And we will all show
Annihilation and the demons of Amenth that we are strong and the strong will survive!.. So I raise my
glass to all of you the mighty Witchbreed!"
"Onnia. Thank you for sharing a story . I've heard a lot of stories of my mother but that's the first I've heard that story." |

As he walked away from his mom and the others, Ray was able to witness the magic that cause the tables to shift around and combine into one big one. "That's a nice touch," he said to himself, just admiring the sight of something like that. He'd been away for awhile, sure, but it was always nice to see all of the ways the X-Men could come together. He had to make sure to make time for things like this again.
As he came over toward the side of the table with his friends, grabbing a drink as he passed Pixie and the others and stopped before he grabbed a seat to listen to what the woman had to say. He heard something being mentioned by Forge, but all he focused on was "Apocalypse" and "husband." "....." Ray slightly grumbled as his energy started to leak out of his eyes in anger. To him, it looked like they were being friendly with Apocalypse and his wife. And with all he'd experienced as an X-Man fighting Apocalypse, he had a hard time believing what he was seeing and hearing.
In the past, he would've shown his anger and blown something up, but instead, he finished his drink, put it on the table, and walked away. He didn't want anything to do with anyone who wanted to be allies with Apocalypse.

"Excuse me for a minute." She said to her family and got up for a moment hurrying over to where Ray was walking .
"Hey! Wait up." She said catching up to him.
"I don't have to be a mind reader to know what you are upset about. These are uncharted waters for sure. Believe me I have no idea where they will go but remember we are all here for each other.....That includes you." She said trying to be soothing. " My names Sarah. What's yours?" |

Thom's mind did a mental "tick" upon hearing the name Apocalypse, and he did his best to push it far from the surface of his mind. He'd speak to his mother later about this and not bring up any questions when everyone was in such a celebratory mood.
"Dani, Rahne, it is a pleasure to meet you," Thom said as he slightly bowed to both of them. It was still a habit he carried with him to this day. His parents had always told him that politeness was the hallmark of a true gentleman. "Cass told me a bit about all of you when we were in Camelot. I'm glad I finally get to put faces to names while I am here."
"He's staying," Cass said with a big grin. "Trust me. Once he gets accustomed to a place, he makes it home."
Thom rolled his eyes at his sister, but he really couldn't disagree all that much. "She's right. The only reason I wasn't here when everyone else arrived was because I was swept away in some sort of temporal vortex."
As they stood chatting, Thom noticed that the seats were filling up quickly. He also saw his Uncle Kai had kept a few seats open where he was standing. "It seems my uncle is saving spaces over there," he said as he smiled at Rahne. "Do you ladies have seats already, or would you like to go sit with him?"

Desdemona followed Hank, Moira and their children to the table and was surprised to see so many old faces in the crowd. "I am glad everyone has been able to find a home back with the X-Men," she said as she noticed that a portion of what her Aunt Hayley called The Scooby Gang was also back with the group. She'd go talk to them later, even if she knew it would make Sydney MacLeod a bit antsy.
"And I am glad Kurt is here. I'll talk to him later. He seems very busy..." she noted as she saw the group around her brother. "And very happy. Everyone seems happy. That is just a bit too weird for me, too. Maybe I have stayed away much too long!"
Dez picked up an apple from the table, and she was sure it would disintegrate because of her demon blood, but it didn't. She took a bite, and it didn't turn rancid in her mouth. "I didn't expect that. I always thought my demon nature outweighed anything from mother's side of the gene pool. I guess I have some learning to do," she said to Hank before she took another bite of the apple.

Axl looked and saw Mystique near Sabretooth, and he knew any plans he'd made for the evening were now as good as toast. He'd have to go talk to her and tell her exactly why he hadn't been back around to see her since his family left the X-Men en masse ages ago.
"One of them will likely gut me, but here goes," he said to himself as he walked toward the former members of The Brotherhood. "I have no excuses for being a jerk, so I'm not going to get overly emotional and strange. I'm sorry. I screwed up when I walked away. Dumbest thing I ever did. And I paid a price for it."
As Axl stood before Mystique, he started to bulk up in size, and before too long he turned into a great horned demon.
"This got grafted to me shortly after I left. I didn't think I'd get the warmest welcome rocking up to Xavier's looking like this. I'm better at controlling it now. And, I guess, now I live up to my stage name at least."
Axl took a deep breath before turning back to his human form. "I am sorry, but I also know that likely won't cut it, so I understand, whatever comes next."

"Now to find the stupid exit," Scarlett grumbled as she tried to avoid anyone with a "Summers" or a "Mac" in their names. This family togetherness stuff was starting to grate on her last nerve. She had never been the chatty, happy one. Citian had created her one day out of thin air, and she never felt like she was truly a member of the group, as much as her "twin" tried to help her feel like she was. That led to all sorts of nonsense, including her becoming the Dark Mother of those loony Dark Askani acolytes that ran around making life hell for the X-Men years ago.
"No going near Xavier or Magneto or anyone in the upper echelon either. No Emma Frost screwing around in my head," she muttered as she skirted the bunch that hung around her Aunt Hayley as well. "No Scooby nonsense. Not today. Although the one in the hat is kinda cute...and he has a cat...no. Not going there. I'd have had better luck running around with The Winter Soldier before they deprogrammed him!"
She had never wanted to be a student, an X-Man or much of anything else. She was, in her own estimation, a freaking waste of space.
The whole thing with that girl who had dropped in out of Portal Land just reinforced how loopy things felt for Scarlett. She didn't belong here, and hell, she didn't belong anywhere else either. In part she blamed Siofra for messing with her head even more than it has been at that asylum, but what good would it do to actually confront her about it? None whatsoever.
Blowing up that asylum, had it not already burned to the ground, might have been the catharsis she need. She had been too drugged up then to have enjoyed watching it burn to the ground. She still hadn't told anyone, not even Siofra or her parents, what had happened to her there. Frankly, she wasn't sure she could trust her own recollection about what happened. And why the hell was she stuck on the name Bo all the time? It kept creeping into her mind like an unwanted thought for what seemed like forever.
"Maybe a portal outta here is the best bet," she said as she blew past that Ray Madison guy and her cousin Sarah. Cousin? Hell, Scarlett wasn't sure about the family connection, but "cousin" always seemed to be the safest bet when talking about family ties here. "This is all too freaking weird for words. Madison, run while you can! You were the smart one!"
The next string of words Scarlett muttered had something to do with the current state of X-Men affairs and how she couldn't understand all the happy speak about En Sabah Nur, and then a portal opened a few feet away. "And I didn't open that," she said as she suddenly froze. "I think we have a problem..." she said as she backed up slowly, green energy forming around her hands. "Green? What the f*uck is that all about?"
A huge package came through the portal before it snapped shut again. It was big enough to hold an elephant, and it had air holes all over it.
"Great...who the hell sent this thing?" Scarlett shouted as she levitated on top of the box to see if it had any markings. "For the celebration! Do not open until the big day! Your friend, Nick. Nick who? Nick Jonas? Any clues on this stupid crate already?"
Scarlett looked back toward where Ray and Sarah were talking, but she did not want to get into that chat, so she sat on top of the box for now. "You better not shoot things out of these holes, whatever you are," she said to whatever was in the box.

" Seems like you've got an interesting dilemma going on there." A voice said to Scarlett as the redhead looked over to see another tall redhead with a crown on her head. It was Soulfire aka Crystal Grey Proudstar Mckenzie . Quite the mouthful but more than that simply the queen of Atlantis. "I think the time Brad Pitt shouted what's in the box it didn't end well. Would you like a hand?"It was then she felt a twinge in the back of her head she heard her mother speak through their link.("Crystal! You look beautiful! I can't remember the last time I saw you with your original hair color!")
Soulfire just smiled as she was able to continue the conversations going on. ("Thank you mom. It was long passed time for me to make a change. ")"So...You need some help Scarlett?"

"And another cousin, right, your majesty?" Scarlett said as she got back to her feet. "You are lucky you found someone outside the family gene pool. It's a wonder any X-Man gets married!"
Then Scarlett realized what she just said and smacked her head. "OK, I give up. No matter what I say I am going to start an incident. My apologies for not being the queen of tact or common sense. I'll try to dial it back a few notches. Back to the matter at hand. This box is apparently a wedding-related gift, if not an actual wedding gift. The funny thing is, I don't think anything is in this crate. I can't feel any sort of presence, but the holes all over the place would make anybody think there is something alive inside the box."
Scarlett looked down into one of the holes and was more or less forced back by a gust of some sort spray. "Huh? Faerie dust? And it smells like peppermint...and Christmas cookies?"
As she looked at Crystal, Scarlett got this weird look on her face. "OK, Nick? Don't open until a specific date? Holiday smells? Your majesty, does Atlantis have a treaty with Santa Claus, or did I just drink too much before we got here? This is weird...even for the X-Men!"

"Babe, I better talk to JJ for a minute," Lu said to Hollywood as everyone continued to grab their seats. "Save two spots for us, OK?" she added as she gave him a kiss before going to her sister. "Look, I know what I did stinks..."
"And I need to start reacting better," JJ said as she finally gave Lu a hug. "Sorry I was hell on wheels before. Redemption died, and I was all alone, and then Siryn and I had to keep Sam Witwicky from getting killed..."
"Roll that back. What happened with Sam? I saw him walking around a little bit ago..." Lu started to ask as JJ took a deep breath. "And Redemption died? I am so sorry. He was the sweetest pup."
"I got a new pup. Gordie. Named him after that guy at Lafitte's who used to play on Friday nights. And as for Sam, that college he was going to was full of mutant haters. I'm surprised we got Sam and his buddy Bee out in one piece. Siryn was so damned kick ass during that fight. I've got all kinds of new respect for her."

"And before you ask, no, I am not going to reconnect with any old boyfriends still on the roster," JJ added as Lu shook her head. "Not that way, anyway. Don't worry. I'm not going to go nuclear on anyone. I'm the one who ended things. Each and every time. No fault but my own."
JJ looked and saw Fantomex in the distance, but she had heard all about what happened to him after she left, so she was not going to go be all "Hi there. I'm back like a bad penny," any time soon. He deserved better. Period.
"And do not take that as a sign I want any suggestions on guys, do I make myself clear?" JJ said as she started to laugh. "Right now I want to concentrate on anything else but my love life."
"Understood," Lu replied as she motioned for them to go back to where Hollywood had saved them seats. "And Gordie is where exactly?"
"Back in Westchester. I didn't dare bring him to Harry's, then space and now here. He's a mushy pup, but even he has his limits, sis," JJ said as they finally sat down.

Ray didn't get very far before he heard footsteps of someone running behind him. With a heavy sigh, he stopped walking and turned around to face whoever it was. As he listened to Sarah's words, he couldn't help but get more visibly angry with everything she just said. "Ray," he replied to her when she asked for his name, and then he took a deep breath to help calm himself down.
"Just because it's uncharted waters doesn't mean I can't see that the water is choppy and boat has a bunch of holes," He wasn't happy about the thought, let alone the likes of Sabretooth being with the group from what he could see, either. "And we're clearly not all here for each other. I'm here for the weddings and if you want to get on a rickety boat with a madman who's tried to rule the world more times than I can count, then I hope you can swim."

Post by Dante Walker on Apr 19, 2021 10:27:07 GMT
Dante took the stone from Sydney and stared at it for a couple of seconds. Almost on instinct, he caused the technology in his arm and head to scan it and feed him information on the magical energy it contained, but he didn't pay attention to any of the readings, he didn't want or need to."Thanks, I appreciate it," Dante said to Sydney with a half smile as he played with the stone in his metal hand before he looked up.
"You all seem like a fairly nice bunch, and since the past five realities went to hell within days of me showing up, I'll stick around for a bit even if this isn't where I'm supposed to be. Just in case." He had the closest thing to a laugh in awhile, even though he was entirely serious. Bad things tended to follow him into these universes. "Thanks again, and goodnight."
As Dante walked away from the women, he dug into his coat pocket to pull out another stone, and it looked exactly like the one Sydney just gave him, but without the faint glow of magic, as if it had been dead for ages. He'd had it since being given it right before the Incursions. Eventually, he found a nice corner to settle down in as he inspected both stones. "Hmm... they're the same."

Hayley watched Sydney walk back toward her and Claire, and the youngest MacFeorais sister got a very odd look on her face. "I'm sorry, Sydney, but I am getting the feeling that rock you just handed Dante has crossed his palms before. Did you ever give him one in the past?"
"What? No. Not in a million years," Sydney said as she turned and looked back at Dante. "What are you seeing?"
"Nothing exactly," Hayley replied as she kept watching Dante. "But that whole 'I'll stay in case things fall apart' speech was a bit too well practiced. I'm going to sound crazy. Fine, crazier than usual..."
"Claire, did Dante seem off? I mean after I gave him that stone?" Sydney asked as she clearly wanted to avoid Hayley by walking closer to Psionica. "I know he might not be our Dante. I get that he's still thrown by all this. But is Little Miss Avatar of Danu right? Did my giving him the stone make him freak out more than he was before?"
"I wish we knew what he had experienced," Hayley said as she kept looking toward Dante. "I'm not doing anything. I promise. I just wish he would open up on his own."
Hayley then heard Scarlett, Sarah Summers Proudstar and Ray in the general vicinity of that ridiculously huge crate. "I actually pray Scarlett stays away from Ray. I sound like the worst aunt in history. I know. But she has issues to face on her own. There is no need to pull anyone else along with her."

"Hello beautiful sister.. I am so sorry that I was distracted and was not able to get to you until now!" Kurt
said as they both embraced in a hug.. "You look good.. it's been so long since we seen one another and
a lot of change since then.. "I would like you to meet my wife Dana and our daughter Lazuli.. Dana died
while pregnant with our daughter and the Phoenix brought them back and Lazuli was all grown up.. But
we had a whole life raising her in a Phoenix egg.. Very strange life we have.. Also I want you meet our
half sister Omnia who is half fay.. It seems like Azazel has spent time in the fairy realms.." |
