"I am so sorry that is happening." Jeanne-Marie said to Daken.
"We should join your family at their table. You need them more than ever now." She suggested as she felt a little bad inside. She
was very attractive to him and felt manipulative and she was and understood that. For some reason she could not help herself.
towards his families table..
"We should invite your brother and his lovers to join us.." Daken said as he turned to his
side and waved at them to come join us.. I am sure the old man would love to have his
ex Alpha Flight team mates join the feast."
"I am really glad that we met and that you decided to Stay."

The walk through the forest was brief but it did give Colin the chance to investigate his surroundings -if only for a short time. The forest was full of lush vegetation with vibrant greens and browns of every hue. Colin was a city boy to his core and his time in the wilds was scares. He never showed any interest in camping or hiking, never saw the need but this forest was something else entirely. Every time he ran his hand across the bark of a tree or through the grass beneath his feet it felt so real. It was a strange contradiction when his powers told him it was all illusionary or fake in some way but it fooled his senses so completely. This young mutant never really gave much thought to the nature of his powers. It was more instinct than anything else when he used his abilities. He didn’t understand it. It was something he just trusted down to his core. Colin looked up at the back of Pete wisdoms head when he spoke. They had gotten closer while Colin was investigating his surroundings, he slowed down slightly to increase the distance between then and maintained his suppression field as tightly to his body as possible. Many groups out in the world had tried to use him against mutants in the past. He was the perfect weapon to use against superpowered people and their numbers were growing daily. The people here didn't know the specifics of his abilities or at least that was what he had hoped. “No disrespect Mr Wisdom...sincerely. I have heard that before too. Everyone says they want to help and that I’m safe before they want something or the other shoe drops.” Colin met Pete’s gaze to reinforce his meaning. The pair left the forest and Colin was struck speechless at the number of people gathered here. There were so many and they were all talking, laughing and having fun. Colin heard the term Thanks giving and he again the surprise was written all over his face. The young mutant looked around the area as introductions were made and he nodded shyly to each of them in tern. He gave a slight hesitant wave to the group but didn’t speak. Colin looked to Stacy X out reached hand and took a step back from her. “it’s not a good idea to get to close to me. For your own safety.” The large man who held Pete in a bear like hug sounded Russian or from that side of the world. The amount of people all gathered together here were mutants and Colin couldn’t help that little sliver of hope slip into his heart. ~Maybe this time they mean it.~ He thought to himself.
in the mutant underground traveling all over the world to rescue other mutants had exposed her
to many different kinds of mutants.. She had encountered many mutants that were a danger to
other by the nature of their gift..
"You can sit close to me at the table without presenting any harm of course.. I would like to get to
know you better and maybe help in anyway I can.. The X-Men many years ago now had rescued me
from a bad situation and in return I have been doing the same for our people.. Let's take a seat and
enjoy this feast." She said with a smile..

"I get it mate.. I really do!" Spouted Wisdom as he took a seat on the other side of Stacy X and
across from Colossus..
"It will take some time for you to trust us I understand.. We are up to challenge." He said as he
began to study all the food that was offered at the table and went for the mashed potatoes before
the turkey..

"It's so nice to have had that dance. Dazzler was awesome of course and now we can have Thanksgiving. So are we going to join
Colossus at his table? It's next to the Logan family's table we can sit on the side and kind of be at both in a way." Dana said to
Kurt after they finished dancing and headed for the table area.
"Also I can be with my family as well." Suprema looked over at her father, Cair with Gabby and Seth. Laura and Yuna were on their
way to the table. She wanted to be apart of that too.
as Logan jumped up with Cair to greet everyone that was heading over to them..
"Happy Thanksgiving my Freund!" Spouted Kurt as both men embraced in a brotherly hug.. |

"Happy Thanksgiving to you Elf!" Logan responded to his best friend..
"You did good up there for the ceremony.. I see you put the collar on for this special event..
I know that was hard for you because of past events.. I am glad that you overcame that.. "
Logan said in support just as his son and Aurora walked over.. Logan gave a nod as Kurt and
Dana walked over to greet Cair..
"I am glad your joining us son.." Logan said as he gave Daken a manly hug and a pat on the
back before turning to Aurora..
"Finally your brother convinced you to come and visit us.. I am hoping you stay Darlin.. It
would be nice to have you on the team.."

"Daken!!" Shouted Gabby as she leaped into her brothers arms.. She loved her older brother
and helped him through the programing that Romulus had put him through.. She also knew
he was struggling and needed family right now..
"Happy Thanksgiving brother.. I am glad that your here!"

"I don't think we ever had this many of our family together ever!.." Laura said as she walked
over with Shogun..
"I was able to get Yuna to join us.." Laura said as she saw her other half sister Dana and
Nightcrawler and headed over and gave her a hug..
"I am so happy that your here!" Laura and Suprema had already bonded separately with
her and Dark Red.. They were a huge help in saving Daken from Romulus's programing..
"So Rose is hanging with the younger X's?"

Claire couldn't help but smile when Jean and Rachel came over. The three of them were some of the most experienced users of the Phoenix, so if anyone would be able to help her hone its powers in order to find Naomi, it would be the two of them. "Thanks for the help, I appreciate it," Claire said to the two as she held her arms out so the three of them could join hands and pool their power together.
"Whatever we do, we have to do it in such a way that Ray doesn't notice. He's already tense as it is and the last thing anyone wants is for an argument to start. Thankfully the others are distracting him, but any big spike he's bound to notice if we're not careful."

Restraint nodded and took a seat between Stacy X and Pete. The gap between them was still there and Colin was always hyper aware of any movement around him. People with powers mostly reacted negatively when they lost them due to his proximity. Colin wanted to avoid that for as long as possible. Against his better judgement, he was beginning to like these people. They all seemed genuine and sincere. Of course colin had been fooled before. Many agencies and anti-mutant groups had tried to manipulate him with promises. The only promise Colin cared about was too himself that he wouldn’t be used again.
The smell of the food made His stomach groan loudly and he grinned sheepishly at the noise. It had been a long time since he had any occasion to smile and it felt nice doing it again. “Sorry about that.” He muttered.
Colin sat patiently as people at their table helped themselves to the glorious feast before them. He couldn’t believe it was thanks giving and he was about to stuff himself silly with this feast. His parents would be sitting down to eat with their extended family. His father would give a big speech about how they should all be thankful for their family. Colin couldn’t stop the sting of betrayal and hatred he felt for his parents. They had called some hotline and reported their only son as a mutant.
Colin gripped his hands tightly in his lap until his knuckles turned white before he took a deep breath and relaxed. He slowly reached out and began filling his plate with food. He wanted to mount the table and just bury his face into the nearest bowl of food he was so hungry. The thought of that just made his stomach growl even louder.
“I do appreciate you taking me in and all of this.” Colin said waving his hand around at everything they were offering. “It just seems to good to be true.”

After the weddings, Brian stepped away from the Hellfire circle for a bit in order to continue people watching. Even though there wasn't an announcement quite yet, he was surprised by what he was able to figure out even though no one said anything to him. He didn't let it show, but Brian couldn't help but be paranoid about the whole thing. When he first accepted the offer to join the Grey Court, Brian intended on not doing much, but if things turn out like he expected them to, he might have to be way more involved.
As he sat alone, Allen eventually made his way over and handed him a cup of green tea while he sipped on some coffee. "Find out anything interesting beyond the usual rich people proclivities and fetishes? I don't plan on going to one of those classic Hellfire parties..."
"They're planning something big," Brian replied before he took a drink of his tea, "Far too big. They're going to burn bridges and put targets on their back, and I'm not sure I trust everyone involved."
"That's no surprise, you don't trust anyone," Allen quipped with a chuckle before he saw the look on Brian's face. "Oh, you're serious. I take it Darkwing is going to be paying the X-Men a covert visit several times a month then."
"I doubt it'll be too covert. If they want me this involved, someone is bound to know how I spend my spare time. And if they don't, then they have their suspicions. What did you find out?"
"Curious thing, that. While you were with the costumed types, I opted to hang out with the refugees. That was about as tense as you would expect given the hostile treatment they've had on behalf of humans. A lot of them aren't even fleeing from war torn regions or poverty. Some escaped youth facilities and orphanages. Unfortunately, a common thread started to emerge in their stories, and it's you."
"Me?" Brian asked in shock.
"From the looks of it, some of these organizations you've made your charitable contributions to aren't as on the up and up as we may have liked and are either directly involved in mutant trafficking or turning a blind eye to it. Tales of a one eyed devil man with a metal arm in some of the more disturbing cases."
"That'll be something we'll need to look into once we get back home. If this pans out like I expect, what you've heard will only get worse from here."

born different.. All of this right now all came from sacrifices.. And more sacrifices will continue to
maintain all of this.. That is what the X-Men fight for and will continue to do.. Other mutants out
there in the world still need to be rescued so they can have this too.. I hope you understand comrade.."
Colossus said to Colin as he took his seat with Enya seated beside him.. |

"We have mutants that have powers that are dangerous to others with touch.. We have technology
that was created by Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four that will help you control and protect others..
The X-Men's uniforms is made of this material and we can do this for you and train you how to use
your powers if you like?" Stacy said to Colin after Colossus spoke..

Alicia and her older sister after taking some time to themselves rejoined the Gold Queen at the Hellfire Trading Company's table.
"Did you get to have some personal time with Warren?"Claire asked with a smile.
"Yes my queen...Thank you." Persha said returning the smile.
"I'm glad to hear that. I want both of you to be able to have lives outside of these responsibilities. "

Aradia stayed with Faith, but she kept on eye on the new Grey Bishop as everyone went to their tables for the reception.
"Do you like him, or are you spying for Daddy?" Faith asked as she drank a mocktail of some sort. She was not a big drinker, so these sorts of beverages were the perfect solution to looking a bit more adult but not getting blitzed out of her mind.
"I just met the man, and frankly I am not so sure he's as wonderful as Daddy says he is," Aradia replied as she looked at her sister's drink and then to her own glass of wine. "Daddy is smitten with Emma, so I am sure he's not thinking clearly. I certainly don't plan to tell him that, but I can keep an eye on things."
"Well, Williams is handsome," Faith said with a slight grin as Aradia poked her in the arm. "Go. Play detective. I'll armchair quarterback if I think of anything interesting to ask him."
"No, let him and his friend have a break from the lot of us for a bit," Aradia said as she raised her wine glass to Brian and Allen. "He really has no idea what he's getting into, does he?"
"Hasn't anyone given him that terrible 'hope you survive the experience' speech yet?" Faith chuckled as Aradia sipped her wine.

After Sarah had met her sisters husband she decided to let the king and queen have a few moments to themselves. She saw her mother introducing herself to the Empress and made her way over.
"Hello Empress. My name is Sarah. I am one of Michelle's two daughters. I apologize for interrupting but as it's Thanksgiving and it's been an eternity since me and my parents had a meal together....Mother would you like to go ahead and get a table and me you and dad and perhaps Crystal can eat Thanksgiving dinner together?"
Michelle playfully smacked the back of her head.
"Of course Sarah I'm so sorry. EMPRESS I apologize I've been a teacher here so long I often get tunnel vision. It's been a pleasure and I hope we can talk again."
