Kari knew that the talk of En Sabah Nur was not going to just magically go away because Nathan wanted it to. She also realized how much everyone wanted to know things about what was going to happen tomorrow.
But then she got a glimpse of Mystique looking at Hope. The days when Hope was an infant were ancient history, but the fact some still seemed to view the young woman as a means to an end bugged Kari to no end. She knew how it felt, and it stunk.
{{Hope, I'll keep an eye on Axl and Mystique. You just enjoy the festivities}} Kari said telepathically to the girl she and Nathan considered one of their own. It still bothered Kari that she let Hope down in the past, but now was not the time to jump into those waters.
As she continued to look around at the assembled Family of X before her, she kept getting visions of what could come, but she sure as hell was not about to start spouting anything out loud to everyone around her. Some of it was too closely tied to her own family, and she was not about to let the entire group in on all that during this gathering. She pushed the visions aside and turned her attention back to Nathan.
{{I pray everyone actually listens to you, Nathan}} she said as she grabbed his hand. He might have caught a glimpse of what she had seen in her vision, but she actually prayed that he didn't this time. Things seemed way too fluid for any visions to be considered valid. {{There is one face I hope pops up eventually, because I am not sure how well Hayley would handle Adrian being gone for good. She slammed the door on me in our link}}

Jessie and Ewan had stayed close to her mother Storm and that side of the family but she could tell Ewan was getting a little restless.
"Love if you want we can go mingle with some of your extended family if you would like?" She said being supportive of her boyfriend just as he had been of her recently with her adoption by Storm. "No, this is wonderful, Jessie," Ewan said as he actively seemed to be avoiding his family at the moment. "It is nice to sit and talk to people I have not had the chance to talk to much before," he added as he looked at the group around Storm and Ghost. "My family dynamic, at times, can be a bit complicated. And when you have heard the stories once, you really have heard them a million times before in my case."
Ewan stopped to listen to Nightcrawler's and Ghost's toasts to the group, and he raised a glass to both. "No truer or more wonderful words have been spoken, gentlemen, even if Kurt has risked his life by nicking Logan's beer!" The vampire could not stop chuckling at the fact that, indeed, Kurt had performed a feat few others might attempt.
"And a toast to friends old and new," Ewan said to the group around him. "To all the days here and after, may they be filled with fond memories, happiness and laughter. Not my words, sadly, but an old toast that fits this most wonderful occasion."

"Well look at all of you beautiful birds all together!" Bradley said as he stood with an empty
wine glass looking over all the bottles of Fay wine that Omnia had brought from Otherworld..
"We have red and white and blue wine?.. I have never had wine that was blue?.. Well I know
what I have to do for the sake of science!" He said as to the bottles as he continued his conversation..
"I must drink you and see what the difference is.. So thank you luv for allowing a gentlemen like myself
sample your define self.." Nemesis pored himself a glass and took a moment to gently smell it before
taking a sip.. "Oh Luv!.. That is truly divine.. One hundred percent made from berries.. Bradley closed
his eyes as his body began to break down the wine.. With each sensation he felt gave him information..
"The wine does have a healing to it and builds on the bodies immune system.. I should take some more
bottles later for more research.. "Well thank you all for the good conversation and I hope we can continue
more of this later but I need to find my family and join the others.. My oldest boy is getting married tomorrow.."
Doctor Nemesis began to look out at the table to find his ken.. "Dad!" Alice shouted as she jumped up and down so her father, Dr. Bradley, could see her. "Where are you planning to sit? We can meet you over there!"
As she looked for her brother Damien, Alice could not help but smile when she saw so many old faces back with the X-Men. There were a couple she did miss that were still not here, but she hoped they would make their way back soon. She unfolded her clockwork wings and lifted up enough to try to find her brother. "He's looking at the sharks. I should not be so surprised, but I am," she said to those around her--whether they were listening or not. Everyone was having way too much fun to be hearing everything.
"Damien! You can't win a staring contest with a fish!" she shouted to her brother as she flew off in his direction. "Dad, I'll get Damien!"

"My friend and sometimes work partner is trying to say is that she had a very rough childhood
and when her powers began to form as an early teen she was thrown out of her home and
found herself on the streets doing whatever she had to do to survive.. That is a lot of inner
issues that has driven her to drink a lot and live on the edge.. How am I doing Tabs?" Wade
said as he turned to her and she gave him a thumbs up..
"She is also super loyal and caring for the people in her circle and she blows shit up!.."
Deadpool then holds his hand out for a hand shake to Dylan.. "I'm Deadpool but you can
call me Wade.. Your style reminds me of someone.." Deadpool looks over at Doctor Nemesis
who was finished with what he was doing and now was looking at all the fairie wine and began
to talk to it as if each bottle was alive.. "I hope your more stable then that guy but stability is
way over rated if you ask me.."
"As for the ritzy duds." The disgust was obvious in his words as he gestured to his clothes. "I am wearing this as it seems appropriate. I'm far more comfortable in something that has some where to it. I can't stand new things, they have no life in them"
Dylan lowered his hand and felt the warm then cool tingle as a grey liquid began to ooze from his fingers, a blue liquid soon followed and began to mix with the grey. Adept fingers began to work the mixture as it transformed into a putty. The putty was quickly stretched and molded as it solidified into an impossibly sharp twelve inch long throwing knife. This entire process took only seconds, making him pity those men who had to spend hours working over a hot forge in order to make a weapon a fraction as perfect as this. Dylan flicked his wrist and sent the knife flipping in the air, causing a blinding show as light reflected of its blue damascus like surface. The blade landed across his palm and he out stretched his hand to the merc. "I hear you appreciate a good blade."
flicked it at the blade tip which made a high pitch ringing sound..
"That is a good blade!.. The weight is perfect for throwing.. Thank you!" Deadpool spun the blade
with his hand and slid it into a leather sheath that was between two of his pouches on his belt..
"So your name is very familiar to me.. I think I heard of you and some of your jobs.. I hope we
never had a tussle in the past.. I can not keep up with all my enemies but you just gave me a
blade so I doubt we had that kind of past.. Unless we had a different encounter over some drinks
which is possible.. You giving me a blade could be that it was a good time.. So how would I know
you or heard of you?" Wade said as he looked Dylan over..
