Claire was one of the last people to actually wake up and get dressed, through it wasn't really her fault. When she went to sleep, her consciousness spent most of the time traveling across "everything" to sync up with her real body, and then spent the rest of the time traveling back. She was unaware that such a thing was even going to happen until she woke up, and the time lag caused her to miss the breakfast.
Thankfully, she didn't wake up hungry.
Instead of borrowing a dress, Claire used her telekinesis to manipulate the molecules of her outfit to give herself a nice navy tuxedo and matching high heels and wrapped her hair up in a bun, fixed in place by some decorative chopsticks. When she emerged, she made a beeline toward Sydney and Hayley since they were the two she spent most of her time with last night. "What a lovely family reunion," She announced as she smiled and waved at Piper and Ein, unaware of the conversation she was jumping into. "And aren't these two little ones adorable. They remind me of Ray and Naomi when they were little."
"Hold that thought," Ein said to Claire as he turned back to Hayley. "Snake is Snake, but if there were any hint of issues, he would've called." Ein turned his attention back to Claire. "Since it's a similar subject, I assume Naomi told you and Ray the good news."
Claire paused for a moment with a confused look on her face. "What good news?" Ein paused to choose his words since there were children present.
"The Nathan situation has been handled." She stared at Ein for a moment before it clicked.
"What what?"
"Yeah. Snake passed the word on to me after he finished his business with Alucard. I had a chance encounter with Naomi and her Teen Avengers friends and gave her the good news a few weeks ago. She told me she was going call Ray and let everyone else know when she got here...."
"She's not here..."
"What? She told me she was going to show up early." Claire didn't say anything else, she didn't know what else to add. Finding out her husband was dead and that her daughter seemed to be missing all at the same time was a lot.

“As the Gold Queen has said, you are not your mother and the future belongs to you. All of us understand that you have to let go of
such things and make your own way. No one holds you to your mother. We see you on your own person making your own choices of
who you are. So don’t worry about it too much.”
“I’m so proud of you Bishop. I feel like a bee feeling so drawn to that suit of yours.” She said while
resting her head on his arm. She then turned her attention to Claire and Rain. “Oh we don’t mind.
At least I don’t. It’s always nice to see some friendly faces.” Terra said with a joyful smile.
"This journey for me is also a new journey for you. I will be at Kate's side and that opens the offer of you joining The Red Queen's team.
You have a choice and I hope you join us." Bishop asked as he knew that she would say yes, but it was still her choice to be made.
"We will learn more today what that team will be doing. It will be a little different then what the X-Men have been doing sort of."
Rain smiled at the three assembled. "I....Both me and my sister thank you for having faith in us. Especially you Claire..You had the ability to choose anyone and you chose us. I promise we will back you up all the way." Rain responded before Claire nodded and looked over at Lazuli and Bishop.
"Well we leave you two alone I suppose we better make our presence felt." The Gold Queen and Rook nodded and made their way over to the table where the other members of the Hellfire Trading Company were.

“Well ladies I will take my leave for now. I wish you all a beautiful day ahead.” Emma said as she left with the Cuckoos fallowing
behind her.
“Our Red Queen has a lot of wisdom, we are lucky to have her!” Emma said as she walked over to Kate and both woman embraced
in a warm hug. For a lot of X-Men that caught the sight were shocked. For a long time both of these woman hated one another. Even
when Miss Frost was head of the school and a member of the X-Men, Kate still was a thorn in her side. It was because of that somehow
they were able to over come all that out of a new respect for one another. And the strangest thing of all had happen. Both of them became
good friends and trusted one another from working out their issues.
“Now Shaw how many of your business deals and plans have you shared with the rest of Hellfire. You can not tell me you do not have side
deals that benefit only you. Despite of that our Red Queen is right we do need to do better. I also like to welcome Graeme to the court I look
forward to our future as Hellfire.” Emma said as she and the Cuckoos took their seats together.
"Shaw it's good to see you." Claire said putting on the proper behavior she was expected to showcase as a Hellfire Queen before looking over to Kate "And I can't wait to see you soar Kate it brings me a lot of joy to see you as our Red Queen. |

Captain Jack had arrived and had been with Rose for quite some time but both of them seemed to be among the surprised to see Coulson and a very much physically improved Peggy Carter.
"Jack the last time I saw Peggy she didn't look like she could take on the Hulk. Her energy signature feels strange. I'm guessing we have another reality jumper. Shall we go over and say hello?"

Genn was glad things did not escalate with the Black King and that everyone seemed to get over the tense situation pretty fast.
“So Kate do you have a name for your team? X-Men Red maybe?” |

Jubilee grunted after she took the last bit of her waffle.
“I am so stuff!” She said as she looked around at everyone. “Is everyone excited we are only minutes away walking down the isle!”
Jubilee said as she stood in front of the mirror looking herself over one last time. “I can not believe that I am getting married.”
her in front of the mirror making sure every detail was perfect.
“It does feel unbelievable that we are finally arrive to that moment.” Monet said as she found herself full of emotion. The feelings took herself off

There were things going on that Ray noticed, but he purposefully ignored. Thanks to his energy sensing and telepathic abilities, he could feel surges all over, especially the astral projection. But since he wanted nothing of it, he didn't pay attention to who it actually was making their appearance known. He wouldn't have been happy if he did.
Instead, he paid more attention to his friends. He wasn't much of an ice skater, that was Naomi's thing more than his. But Ray wasn't going to pass up a chance to relax a bit. "Sure, I'm getting on the ice," he said, replying to Hisako. "I'll try not to fall and kill myself before my sister gets here to laugh at me." He chuckled and then checked his watch. He was surprised Naomi hadn't shown up yet. But she had a habit of running late sometimes."I was really hoping that Naomi was going to show up. She would love it and I think all of us needsthis time right now.. So much has happen to all of us these past years and this is the first time ina long time that all of us our together.. And that is kind of nice right now." Victor gave a nod to Ray..
today is so needed for all of us. I don’t know what exactly the Professor is going announce but I feel it will be something that will unite us even more.
At least I hope that it will.” |

“I think Vulcan’s advice is sound when it comes to Sebastian Shaw is very on target.” Lorna said after Gabriel.
“Looks like Emma and the Cuckoos arrived to deal with the situation. I personally will never trust Shaw ever. That is a problem for
Emma and Kate to deal with and God bless them for it.”

“I keep forgetting your dad is Apocalypse!” Quentin said as he also walked over with Banshee to be a support for his soon to be father in-law.
It really hit him that moment that Duskk was going to be his in-law.
“Everly filled me in on your family history so I know how shocking it was to meet your mother and now your dad for the first time. If you need to
talk we are here for yah.” Quentin said as he pushed back his normal dickish persona and tried to do better for Duskk who was going to be his family
soon enough.

Before Kari could reply to Peggy, she heard Bobby mention that some of Emma's Champagne had gone missing, and she had a funny feeling one of her own had lifted it. "Just a second," she said as she closed her eyes and waved her hand. {{Bobby look behind you}} she said telepathically to Iceman so he could see that more of Emma's favorite was now on hand. {{I think one of my cousins has a taste for that vintage. Sorry for the unnecessary drama}}
"There is never a dull moment here, that's for sure," Kari said as she looked around the room and noticed a lot of people staring at Peggy. "And it may get even less dull soon. We tend to be a raucous lot when it comes to weddings. A group called The Neo tried to invade ours, and I pray we see no one trying that stunt today," Kari chuckled as she held Nathan's hand. "Peggy, how did you get here? To this dimension, I mean? Did you ever make it back home?"
Kari held Nathan's hand as she thought of her friendships with that world's Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes and Howard Stark. And then she thought of the times she had crossed paths with Rogers, Barnes and Howard's son Tony in this world. How two worlds could be so similar and yet so different was beyond her at times.
"Coulson, I take it the CIA wants to see what Charles has to say today?" Kari asked as the former SHIELD agent shifted on his feet a bit. "Or did you drop in to see my daughter Chetna?"
Peggy for the first time looked solemn for a moment. "No I never got to see home again. It must not be in the cards for the moment. As far as how I got here well one could say I sort of dropped out of the sky....Literally. first I was a fighting a bloody great octopus and then I found myself in this reality. It's been a little overwhelming to say the least even with Coulson giving me a crash course in where things stand. "
She said before looking around catching on how many had taken notice of her arrival. " Oh bother. I hope my appearance here hasn't thrown things off?" "I can assure you that your arrival has not thrown a spanner into the works, Peggy," Kari said with a smile as more and more people seemed to be watching them. "I tend to have things like your arrival happen a lot around me. Thanks to Merlin splitting my very essence into shards and sending it across the multiverse, things like this happen quite often in my life. At least here you will actually get to meet many of my siblings. I remember droning on and on about my brother Cormac and his stint in the Royal Navy back in the day."
Kari prayed that she wasn't making things too confusing with what she had just said, but it could not be that much of a stretch after fighting what Peggy had been entangled with.
"That octopus was Hydra's Champion. At least that is what I remember Schmidt hollering about before the beast knocked him back. Man was an idiot. The last time I saw them, Steve and Bucky were on a mission to take out the Eagle's Nest. It was a success. I wish I could have been there to celebrate with them, but Hydra had other plans."
Kari suddenly got very quiet. This was part of her past that she really was not happy bringing up.
"They had their own Winter Soldier program there, and they managed to capture me while I was running surveillance for something Howard had gotten wind of in the last days of the war. They used my body to try and crack the immortality equation and mixed my blood with what they could find of yours, Peggy. The facility they had me stashed away in was taken down by what I can only imagine were the Howling Commandos. I never got to see who set me free from my mortal prison. And I have no clue if they realized everything that happened that day."
Kari took a deep breath and tried to shake off those memories. "As always, my life is equal parts comedy and tragedy. Let's focus today on the happier parts. Would you two like to get something to eat?"

"Jack the last time I saw Peggy she didn't look like she could take on the Hulk. Her energy signature feels strange. I'm guessing we have another reality jumper. Shall we go over and say hello?" Mel had followed behind Auntie Rose and Captain Jack, and she kept rolling her eyes as more and more of the things her father told her were coming to pass. Captain Carter's arrival was one of those things Ben Summers had scrawled in his book when Mel was a little girl. There was another thing about a captain, but that was not supposed to happen yet. This was the wrong party. Mel knew that for sure.
"I think I'll leave you two to chat then," she said a she waited for yet another cousin to come up and grab her by the arm and drag her away.
That didn't happen.

Jack turned to Rose and then looked at this Peggy Carter standing before them. "Wait. That can't be the Margaret Carter I know. She's much too tall and muscular. I think you are right, my dear. She must be from one of those other realities. Yes, I think we should go and make our introductions. But your young niece can come along," he said as he turned to look at Mel. "I'm sorry I was monopolizing your aunt's time. Perhaps you and this Peggy Carter have a bit in common, Mel? After all, you are also out of your own reality, thanks to Siofra."
Jack could tell that Mealla was not that thrilled with him being there. He also knew the girl was one of the Askani disciples Kari had spoken of in the past. "I will need to get over to Emma and her group shortly, Rose, and you are more than welcome to join me. Mel, I am afraid that you..."
"I know. I'm not Hellfire's cup of tea," Mel said with a smirk. "I wasn't back home, either. I have the scars to prove it."

"Comrade Shiro!" Piotr called out to Sunfire as he saw him just standing there alone and looked
very lost.. Colossus waved his hand for Shiro to see..
"I hope you don't mind if I invite Shiro over.. He looks like he needs a friend." Piotr said to Enya
as Sunfire headed in their direction..
Luckily, Enya had snuck off to finish getting ready a little while ago and was finally satisfied with how everything looked on her. After all, this was not going to be an ordinary day.
"Of course not," Enya said with a smile as she looked up at Piotr. "This is a party after all, and I haven't gotten to speak to Shiro at all yet. We always seemed to miss each other when I was with the team in the past."
As she scanned the crowd, Enya could see something going on around Kari and mentally tapped her friend on the shoulder. {{It happened again?}} she asked telepathically as Kari essentially nodded back in reply in their link. {{You can fill me in later. If you need someone to help distract Coulson, I can send Dev over once she's finished getting ready}}
Enya shook her head as she looked at everyone gathered in the dome for the weddings and the big announcement later. "This is utterly amazing. I've been part of huge events. When Arthur married Guinevere the whole of Camelot seemed to fill the halls, let alone the royalty from across the realms. This exceeds that day by far."

Moira giggled as she heard James describe Hank's "moods" as he spoke with Elizabeth. "It is a wonder how you two manage to get along at times," she sighed as she gave Hank a kiss. "I'm glad you ladies are joining us today," she said to Cecilia and Antonia. "Now if we can actually get the kids to sit down and eat..."
Dr. Bradley's children Alice and Damien had finally sat down to eat, but Kathy and Lime were still off doing something. "Sorry!" Kathy yelled as she came running to the table. "Lime was out with some of his new Atlantean friends in one of those tidal pools, so I ran out there to remind him to get dressed. He'd have stayed out there all day if I hadn't reminded him."
As she set down another plate piled high with waffles, Moira sighed as she thought of the way Kathy likely reminded Lime to join everyone for breakfast. "Hank, we never have any dull moments, do we?"
