"Well Shiro I do hope that tomorrow that the Professor says something that would make you want to stay around. I do like having my family around. I have a lot of siblings I need to make time to get to know but it would be nice to have someone around that I grew up with." Yuna said to Sunfire after Ghost left the table with Storm to dance in the air above them. "I love you too kid!" Shiro said as he reached his hand out and took a hold of Yuna's hand..
"I doubt that the Professor has anything to say that will change my mind but the one thing I have learned over the years is to never say never.. I do promise that no matter what I will try to be around more.." Sunfire said to Yuna and gave her a gentle smile..

Both Bishop and Lazuli had put the rest of the food away and checked on the food for tomorrow before heading out onto the dance area in front of the stage.
"It's nice to have so many people back in the fold. So much history in this dome right now." Bishop said to Lazuli as they began their dance.
"It's nice that everyone for once is happy and together." "I feel like finally all of us are coming into our own and like my dad I have faith that everything will work out in the end. The future belongs to us!" Lazuli said just before kissing Bishop and continuing their dance..

"My healing factor just kicked in an I am free of the affects of all the alcohol that I had drank and finished my meal. I thank a dance with my girl before getting some sleep is a perfect way to top this night off. So Rachel would you like to go for a dance?" Jackson asked Rachel as he stood up and held out his hand. He did it at the same time as Fantomex which looked like they were copying one another but it just lead to a laugh between both couples. "I agree it will be a great way the top the night.. One dance then off to our tent for much needed rest for tomorrow!" Rachel said as she took his hand and headed straight up in the air which surprised Jackson at first..

Kitty's heart swelled with joy as she watched Logan and his wife head for the dance floor with the others.. She looked up and saw Saber and the others dancing in the air it was so romantic.. So she stood up and held out her hand to Sam..
"Would you like to join me for a dance up in the air.. Because we can?" Sam looked up at everyone dancing in the air and then looked back at Kitty. Bumblebee gave him a thumbs up sign, and Sam chuckled a bit. "I forget you can do cool stuff like that with your powers, Kitty. That would be fantastic!"
Before they took to the air, Sam realized that both Piotr and Pete Wisdom were nearby. Mr. Super Strong and Mr. Super Spy. ((How in the heck did I end up here with Kitty and not one of them? Were they freaking stupid?)) he thought as he smiled at Kitty. "You know, you are absolutely amazing!" he said as he finally got up the courage to give Kitty a kiss. ((And I bet I have doomed myself with that move)) he thought as he almost waited for her to recoil after what was likely a clumsy smooch at best.
Kitty took Sam's face into her hands and looked into his eyes and kissed him back..
"Life is full of surprises Sam you just have to take chances.. I am glad to be in this moment with you.." She said before kissing him again.. "I feel like everything is changing and I am a little scared but also excited.. I am excited for us and I am excited for.." Kitty paused for a moment as Sam saw something in Kitty's eyes..
"I have a confession.. I know a lot more about what the Professor is going to say tomorrow.. I know because Emma had taken me aside and told me because she gave me an offer.. Something I can not talk about tonight but will tomorrow.. But the decision I need to make is a big one and I thought very hard and I am going to do it.. It's going to be life changing.. Tomorrow I want to talk to you more about it because I want you to join me on this.. Journey of sorts.. Sorry for sounding cryptic..

Michael nodded as he listened to Emma and Christian speak about the goings on before them. "You are right," he said to the siblings as he raised a glass of faerie wine to the group--even the insufferable Sparrow and Kari's brother Cormac who, last he remembered, wanted to pop Michael's head on a pike. "Perhaps this air of cooperation is what has been lacking all along, at least among our own people? We can't account for what the world will do at any given moment. Doom in Latveria, Zemo in Bagalia--the list of potential strong men dictators who could cause mutants trouble is endless. But together? There is nothing that we cannot accomplish, in spite of the actions of those who might stand against us."
After a moment of thought, Michael did pose a question that few might want to answer at the moment. "Has anyone discussed what the tin-suited millionaire and the super soldier will think about what has been set in motion? The last time I remember hearing what that family wanted to do with Stark," he said as he motioned to Kari and what had been called her personal army as they played the night away, "Kari wanted to punch Stark in the face for hurting Enya and Devnet? After his little stunt with the Phoenix, can we trust The Avengers to be diplomats or madmen? And I know there are people that cross over to both groups. I have always had the feeling that the mutant ones like Namor, Beast, Wolverine, Rogue or Storm got short shrift from the rest of them. I just do not relish a war with that bloviated fool Stark or that supposed paragon of virtue Rogers."
"Who really cares about what Stark thinks Michael!" Shaw said as he took a drink of his wine..
"Seriously this is beyond him and we will have the United Nation in our corner as this has been thought out very carefully.. It's why I agreed to all of this.. This is a new level of power for us all not just Hellfire but for our people.. This is beyond Stark or the Avengers!" Sebastian laughed.. "I am looking forward to putting that smug son of a bitch in his place.." Shaw put his glass and turned to Emma..
"I am still going over options for our Red King.. I will have one picked out by the end of the week I promise.."

"Don't bother!" Emma snapped at Shaw as she put her glass down as she knew that this was going to set Sebastian off..
"I have already picked our Red Queen and the Captain of our fleet and she just accepted my offer just now." Emma said as Kitty reached out with her mind to Emma with a simple (Yes)..
"What!?" Spouted Shaw.. Why do you think your the one to make this decision without talking to me!" Yelled Shaw..
"Michael and I already discussed it so you would have been out voted anyway!" Emma said to Sebastian to Michael Priest's surprised because Emma did not talk to him about it and took him by surprise but he did not show it..
"Michael would you like to dance I think Shaw's company is not going to be to healthy for my mental well being.. I want to leave this table before he makes a fool of himself with his temper!" Emma said as Priest took her hand and hurried with her to the dance floor just as Shaw began to use colorful language towards her..
"Thank you Michael."

Chetna smiled as Ashvin ran up to join the family band. "That is truly his element," she said to Japh as she waved to her brother. "Music has always been his first love. He DJs sometimes back in Mumbai. He has a pretty good reputation in the smaller clubs there. And no, that talent skipped me. No one needs to hear me sing. I swear I would break the dome and let all the water in!"
She could not help tapping her feet, though, as the music continued to play.
"Would you like to dance?" Chetna asked Japh as she extended her hand to him. "I am not the best there is at this, but maybe it's time I started to unwind a bit more than I have been?"
Maggott was taken by surprise.. No one had ever asked him to dance before.. He had friends that he had danced with at the clubs in South Africa.. No one ever asked him personally to dance before..
"Sure! I am not the best dancer but I will do my best!" Japh said as he took Chetna's hand and walked out to the dance floor leaving Eany and Meany at the table eating..
"Don't eat the bowel or the table this time!" Maggott said to his slugs before leaving..

Post by Doctor Nemesis on May 21, 2021 3:12:48 GMT
Alice had managed to drag Damien away from the dome wall to where their father had been standing alone before, and now he wasn't so alone. Alice kicked Damien in the left shin before he could even open his mouth. "Hi," he waved to Modem before his sister could kick him again. "It's nice to finally get to talk to you!" Alice gushed to Elisabeth as she stood next to her brother. "I have no idea what Dad is talking about, but that's OK!" "For now anyway," Damien said as he looked toward their brothers Gallion and Duncan and smirked. "As long as Dad doesn't do anything to mess with my new pals, I'll be fine," he said as he turned and pointed to the rear dome wall where a large group of fish was still gathered. "I like fish. They are calm and don't make a lot of noise." "Unlike you!" Alice said with an uncharacteristically nasty growl at the end of the comment.
"What did I say this time?" Damien muttered as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "He never takes a joke well!" Alice said with a giggle as she kept looking at Elisabeth. "You were helping Dad with those jellyfish before, right? That's pretty cool!" Modem chuckled at banter between Alice and Damien. "Hmm...Oh yeah I was helping with the Jellies when we went down to the newer city. Though most of the time I can say that he's Goose to my Maverick when we have to do something in the Blackbird."
Elizabeth plucked the wine glass from Bradley's hand. "Ok you I think the mixing of Atlantian wine and Fey wine don't mix well." she teased him. "And some magic mushroom's." Bradley said as Modem's eyes got big with the new revelation of what all Nemesis had consumed.. He did not resist her taking the glass from his hand he just waved (Goodbye) to it.. It was at that moment he really noticed the music and turned very fast to look at the stage at Karenza's family on the stage performing..
"Oh yes this is music!.. Not like that God awful stuff that comes out of Dazzler's mouth!.. I mean disco was like a wrecking ball to the soul and Dazzler just made it worst by keeping it going no matter how modern she made it's the same bloody dribble.. And this is true music and I don't know it's the mushroom's mixed with the wine but I want to dance!.. Do you want to dance Elisabeth? I bet I can surprise you with some moves!.." Bradly smiled as he moved his body to the beat of the music..

Post by Pete Wisdom on May 21, 2021 3:30:17 GMT
Pete found himself standing in front of the stage with his flask of Irish whiskey and was feeling way more then tipsy as he watched Karenza’s family performing.. He was shocked to see Dana MacFeorais with a tambourine..
“Bloody Hell!?” He thought to himself as he looked down at his flask and remembered that he drank a whole bottle of Fairie wine and began to wonder about his current reality if he was seeing what he was seeing.. Dana waved her tambourine at Pete and laughed as he looked down at his flask. {{Relax, Pete. I came for the weddings. You are not imagining things}}
Truth be told, Dana did miss being with Pete, but his work plus her studying for multiple bar exams at once left little time for a real relationship, so she had decided to let him do what he needed to do without her messing it up for him. He had been too good to her in the time they had together (even if her brother Cormac thought otherwise), and she was not going to be one of those bitter exes you read about in some trashy magazine. He deserved his happy ending, even if it wasn't with her.
{{If you need a top off for the flask, my brother Keir is here, and he likely has some of your favorite on him. And I know he won't punch you}} Dana said to Pete as she smiled at him again. {{I actually passed the bar for Wakanda! I think I can now safely defend the X-Men in almost every country they have a strong presence. I need to check that list of mine again. It only got longer! When we're done up here, we can have a proper catch up if you aren't busy. We can have Keir chaperone if you need. Don't want to upset anything for you}} "Congrats on passing the bar.. I am very proud of you and I am sure you will be putting that skill to good use.. I had went back to England and began working with my country and even meet with the Queen once a week over tea to discuss mutant situations for the country.. That is why I am here on behalf of the Queen.. The Professor did not ask me to be here he asked the Queen.. So tomorrow when he makes his speech I will be reacting and responding on behalf of the Crown.. Which has me curious on what is going on?" He said but it was a flat out lie as he did know what the speech was about or was a hundred percent sure he did.. It was his job to collect information on all the big moves that the X-Men and everyone in the X-Men orbit.. All the moves that The Hellfire and X-Corp have made painted a clear picture.. Charles Xavier reaching out to the Queen and not him personally also confirmed what he knew..

Post by COLOSSUS Piotr Rasputin on May 21, 2021 3:49:07 GMT
Piotr started to clap his hands just as Roslea and her family began to play the music.. When Roslea started to sing Piort turned to Enya and held out his left hand to her.. “Would you like to accompany me for a dance?” He asked as Enya took a hold of his hand and make his way to the open area in front of the stage and both began to dance.. For Piotr and Enya they were focused on enjoying this moment.. Enya drew in a deep breath as she took Piotr's hand and went to the dance floor. She thanked the Goddess the chances of anyone messing up this evening were few and far between because they were in Atlantis. "Hey, that's a good idea," she said as she levitated herself and her tall and handsome dance partner above the dance floor. "Don't worry. I've got you."
If she had been less concerned about mucking this up, Enya would have started to tell Piotr about her days back in pre-Soviet Russia, but no one needed that history lesson tonight. The music was too beautiful, and everyone was having way too much fun to start talking about the Mad Monk of Moscow and all the horrors of 1917. Enya loved Russians and the country in general, but that cleric was a freak no one needed in their lives.
"I can't remember the last time I saw them all like that," she said as she motioned to Kari and her siblings and children. "I'm glad we are getting to share this tonight," she said as she lifted herself up a bit further and gave Piotr a kiss. "I hope we have many more nights like this." "Boiza moi!" Spouted Colossus as he lifted up into the air.. It took him a few seconds to feel secure and then he laughed and relaxed..
"I do hope so and I do remember a time when it was a lot like this as I am sure you do too.. All those years ago when the Purifiers bombed the school bus of students it kind of ended after that.. It seemed that we all went to a darker place.. It seems like all of us are now bringing back the light back into our lives.. That is why I am painting more and I decided to start farming again and I am going to get the student into as well.. I grew up on a farm in my country and want to bring that connection to the earth and calmness that you feel from it.." Piotr said as they continued to dance in the air..

“Come on guys and gals let’s get our dance on!” Spouted Santo as Rose and him lead the way for the younger X-Men to head out to the dance area..
He was happy to get away from all the Scarlet Witch talk.. Which was never a good to bring up anyway shape or form.. Rockslide also knew why Prodigy brought it up and hoped that his relationship with Speed would not suffer under who Speed’s mother was.. "I hear everyone talking and saying that want to have more time like this. I know our life can be complicated but I don't understand why we can not make more time for all of us like this. What do you think Santo? Do you think we can make this happen more my love?" "I do and I feel that is why we are doing this now because we missed all the major holidays last year because everything we were facing.. So I feel this is the beginning of that and we know that this is a priority for all of us just as much saving our people and the world.." Santo responded as the ground shook a little bit as he danced..

"I agree with Santo.. I think both Professor and Magneto understand this and that is why we are here doing our big holiday celebration and not just the wedding!" Victor said as he was dancing with the rest of the younger X-Men..
"Man this night was a lot of fun!"

"Hmmm... Claire thought for a moment as she listened to both Hayley and Sydney speak. She didn't think for very long since she kept getting distracted by the music. While they had their own back and forth, Claire decided to down a glass or two of wine herself. It wasn't a smart move since she hadn't had alcohol in ages, but she wanted to indulge herself. a bit. "Forget about Ray," she interjected to the women as she made a waving motion with her hand, "He's fine. I, on the other hand, have a brilliant idea. And you're both going to hate me for it." Everyone else was off having a good time, and with the three of them looking like wallflowers seemed out of place. And now that she was feeling refreshed and knew she was going to be drunk soon, Claire used her TK to float into the air and toward the dance floor, dragging Sydney and Hayley along with her as she started to dance. "You may not be able to carry a tune, but you're gonna dance your ass off!" Claire wasn't on beat, but she was dancing in the air like the world depended on it.

"This is the first time that I have been to space for fun and not on a mission!" Cessily joined in the conversation..
"I would like to have more experiences like that in the future!.. We have traveled to so many places from space to other dimensions only on missions.. I would like to do that just for fun from time to time!"

James swept Michelle up into his arms and cradled her and a big smile on his face.. "We always find ourselves apart in conversation with other people when we need to spin more time together.. So I am going to dance!" Warpath said in tone that made Michelle giggle as he carried her out to the dance area and put her down..
"So what is on your mind?" "So much to process is all babe. Things are moving so fast with all of this and it may be the old pessimistic Summers blood in me but I wonder if things are moving too fast?" She said before tracing a hand across her husband's face gently.
"But enough about that now. Let's just focus on us." She said before kissing him deeply as the two floated off the ground. Jimmy wrapped his arms around Michelle as they floated off of the ground and moved to the music..
"I don't know.. it feels to me like it took a long time to get here.. I feel like it has been way to long.." Jimmy looked concerned for his wife..
"Is all of this moving to fast for you.. We have not heard what the Professor has to say but we all know it's about a new direction for a future.." Jimmy said in a worried tone..
