“I still feel safer here than any other country and that includes America. The senators passing anti mutant bills are starting to come down the pipe. It seems like destiny that we are moving here at the right time. I know we will be tackling a lot of countries and I am sure America will be one of them very soon. So the point I was trying to make is that I feel a lot more safer with demons than sentinels or crazy anti-mutant nuts.” Bobby said as he put his arm around Duncan as he joined the overall conversation. “I agree it is crazy no matter where you are on this planet. Krakoa and all of this came exactly at the right time. That is why I am very happy we have the Marauders and we are a part of it. Just listen to the music and all the refugees in the city right now. This is a very exciting time to be a mutant.” Duncan responded to Iceman as he put his arm around his boyfriend. “That is exactly why we do this. This is why I joined the Marauders. I want every mutant to have all of this.” Bobby motioned his arms to the surroundings of Krakoa.
“All those refugees are now bringing the city of Carousel alive! Hearing the music and seeing the smoke from the firepit makes everything we went through worth it.” Bobby said to Duncan with a look of pride. Iceman knew that he would be in more combat in the future than spending time on Krakoa. It was a price he would gladly pay for every mutant who could have the paradise that Krakoa offers. This was not exactly the Professor's dream but it was now Bobby’s.

“Bloody Hell this is a nice flat Bet’s and Saber.. I saw you do your magic thing to create it.. I wish you were that good back in the day old friend..” Pete said as he leaned up against the side of the wall with Dana resting her arm on his shoulder..
“Honestly the Monarch.. The PM and The Parliament are not going to be good with any of this.. But I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to Boris.. But we all bloody know it’s going to be short term at best.. Dana and I are both on board and see how this train goes off its tracks together..”
Dana looked at Brian, Saber and Betsy, and then she turned back to where her sister Hayley was standing near what everyone used to call The Scooby Gang. "Not to be too odd, but are any of my family being invited along on this team? Pete knows I'm not the first to rely on magic, but maybe Kari or Hayley might be useful? And if Hayley comes along, what about the Scoo...I mean D and Dante? And Adrian if he ever makes it back and he and my sister are civil to each other?"
As she kept leaning on Pete, Dana could feel Hayley staring daggers into her back.
"Certainly not my call. Just thought it might be a useful suggestion," Dana said as she sighed deeply. "I think we'll need to refill that flask later, Pete. We may need a bit more liquid courage once the ball gets rolling."
“Dana I hear what you're saying Luv and I agree. We need more on this team with those skill sets. So if you can spread the word on the team and they want to join I would love for them to be a part of the team. I also want to bring something else up that is very important about this team. Something in past conversations I had with Meggan and later last night with Omnia. In the Otherworld we have discovered through Meggan that mutants are popping up among all beings. The fairies seem to have more mutant population in the last few years. So our reach may go into those realms. Karenza and Hayley will be needed for the team. If not joining us physically then access to their wisdom on Otherworld and Camelot is important.” Betsy responded.

“Well Bet’s it sounds like Excalibur has a lot to tackle. I feel like it is very important to make contact with the mutant population of the Otherworld and bring them in sync with Krakoa. All mutants are Krakoan and we need to connect.” Rogue said as she was very excited to be a part of Excalibur. She has been all over from space to alternate universes. Her time in Otherworld has only been a few times. The idea that Gambit and her spending time in fantasy realms and meeting fairies was very exciting to Rogue.
“I like the idea of bringing those names onto the team. Some of them I have been wanting to work with more. Europe and the Otherworld under our belt we will need a strong team.”

“I do not think it would be that much of a difference.. The island creates illusions like the Danger Room. It will be the same in theory I would think.. I do like that we are living on an island that has everything that we had at the Mansion but better.. We will have our own spaces and not everything lumped together in one place.. I love that a lot!” Santo joined in.. “This is a lot different from the time we lived on Utopia. I know it was not a real island and this is a living island. A big difference and I am feeling that. This is a much bigger place than Utopia and has a lot more life to it. I love it here so much, Santo!”

“Danger island sounds cool. I am starting to wonder what all this island can do. We can use plants from Krakoa to create a gate anywhere we can plant it. Just a little bit of water and a gate grows instantly. We have an island that can create illusions like the Danger Room at the mansion. The vegetation can appear and taste like anything you can imagine. Seriously, what can this island do?” Pixie said before hurting over to Duskk and Monet and tried to give them both a hug. Monet declined being touched anymore. She barely tolerated it from her Gen X family. Duskk returned Pixie’s hug. Pixie did not take offense to Monet's hug as she understood how her autism worked.

“We studied Krakoa a little bit at school. Mostly the X-Men history with the island but from what I understand it has psychic abilities but other powers beyond that were never in our lessons. We also never learned the true history until the other night from Omnia and confirmed by Karenza. There is a lot we do not know.” Surge said.

“The island has a lot of psychic power but it depends on us to feed that energy to it. It needs us as much as we need it. Besides that the island has full control of itself and the echo system around it for miles. This includes all life on it if need be. We also feel like the island has been upgraded in some way that we do not understand.” All the Cuckoos spoke at the same time as they joined the conversation.

Daken rode up to Jason and Laura with Aurora on the back..
“Dad and I are in a very good place now.. Our family will now grow stronger together.. It was one of the many things that Romulus feared.. We are stronger together, not apart..” Akihiro turned and looked off to his side..
“I thought that I saw Colin!.. I hope that he will come and join us..”
Aurora’s arms were around Daken’s waist as she sat behind him on the Direwolf.
“I am happy to hear that you and your father are in a better place. I have lost someone to Romulus in the past. His words poison the mind and transform more than just your conscious thoughts. Not many people escape that and I am proud of you for breaking that control.” Aurora said after he spoke with his family.

“So what would you both like to do? We can go into the city or join the other taking a tour of the island. My sister is going on the tour with Daken of course. Both choices are full of opportunity for fun." “I know this sounds corny but I never had a childhood where I went camping and cooked marshmallows on a campfire or in this case a bonfire. If you guys are cool I would like to see if we have any marshmallows and just do that. I am also very flexible with anything you both want to do.” Milo responded to Northstar.. “Oh Milo!” Kyle said as he put his arm around him.
“One thing us Canadians do best is having marshmallows around a fire. My school had these special camping trips that started when I was eleven. I am personally going to make sure you're going to have a fun night. I just can not think of any ghost stories that would frighten a mutant.” Kyle said with a laugh.

“I have a ghost story to tell. Well it’s a wendigo story and it was one of my last missions I went on when I was on the X-Men team.” Jean-Paul said as he suddenly disappeared and returned in a matter of seconds. Northstar stood with a bag of marshmallows with three poles.
“Ready to do this!” Jean-Paul said with a grin and a wink.

Exodus used his powers to move out all the crates of food and whatever surprises that are in the crates out of the shipping containers. He also opened every crate to make it easy for the refugees to get to what was inside. Paris walked over and grabbed a bottle of wine that he saw in one of the boxes. He then stood taking a drink from the bottle and watched the celebration in delight.
“KRAKOA!” Exodus shouted as loud as he could as the crowd of mutants joined him in a chant.
