“You are one hundred percent right Duncan.” Bobby responded to Poltergeist as he put his arm around his boyfriend and leaned into his seat.
“We are living through history and a positive one for our people. It does feel like a dream in a way. All of this is the calm before the storm. At the end of the week the rest of the world will know and all of this will take another shape. For now we just be in the here and now and enjoy all of this before the fireworks hit.”
"I almost forgot that this will become public knowledge soon. Oh man, that's sure going to be something." He took a deep breath for a moment. In an attempt to prevent from panicing over the possibilities. "And I agree, let's enjoy everything and live it up. The island is beautiful." “It is really beautiful!” Bobby said as he stood up and gave Duncan a nod which told his boyfriend that he was about to go. Poltergeist put his hands around Iceman’s waist as Bobby created an ice slide and bridge under their feet and up into the air and back down onto the ground where the Logan family were gathered.
“When this town is up and going we need a date night here.”

Duskk folded his arms and stood at Monet’s side as she joined the conversation about Orchis. He did not know what to say so he listened to the conversation. He did not like what he was hearing with Orchis. Duskk had always felt very concerned by Weapon Plus but Orchis made him even more concerned. Orchis had the technology and power of Weapon Plus and now the scientist to understand the tech.
Duskk’s thoughts shifted when the Warlock ship came to a stop and he looked over and saw the town. He unfolded his arms and walked over to the ship's rail and joined Jubilee and Revolver.
“I have never had the chance to see New Orleans before. This town looks magical in its beauty.”

“I have something that I want to do that I have not had the chance to do before.” Poltergeist said as they walked onto one of the docks and continued until they reached the end.
“I have never gone fishing before. I would like to try that in the near future, my love.”

“All of us do not have our families and grew up at the school away from the families we were born into.. So our family is this group that have grown up together.. What I am trying to say is that we love you both as our family and want the best for you.. And that we will miss having you both around as much as it had been..” Santo said with a lot of emotion.. He understood at that moment more than ever that everything is changing.. “Santo said it perfectly. Everything is changing and some of us are moving on to new things. No matter what, we are a family and we will make time for one another. I think both of you are going to do well in X-Force. I want to be on a team. I just don’t know what team or the options. I know both X-Force or the Marauders are not what I want.” Rose said just as the Warlock ship crossed into the town’s border.
“Santo, we need to spend some time here. This is breathtakingly beautiful. To see a city and now a town made from the elements of the island is magic to me.”
“I am sure you will know when the time comes. The reason I am joining X-Force is because I do not want Krakoa to fall like my world did. I do not want to watch the people I love and care for lose everything like my brother and I did. I am lucky to have a second chance in this world and I want to protect it.” Everly said as she took a hold of Quentin’s hand and walked him over to the ice slide that Iceman had created from the ship to the ground. A smile formed on Quentin’s face as they both got onto the slide and wrapped their arms around one another and slid down. Both of them laughed and cheered as they had fun.

Brian remained quiet for the most part as he sat next to Allen, paying attention to what the others were saying. Shaw's comments about Weapon Plus caught his attention and he learned forward as the man talked. Brian had been hunting Weapon Plus in and out of his Darkwing persona for months now trying to shut down more programs, with no leads as to any locations. Even his contact with Snake had gone silent. News of Weapon Plus being taken over would explain things. There was a massive bidding war for some excess equipment when SHIELD was shut down after the fake Captain America tried to take over the world and he tried to get as much of it as he could. It would make sense that whoever could take over Weapon Plus and recruit agents from some of the spy organizations could outbid him, too. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone and started flipping through his photo albums before he came across a picture of a white business card with a colorful flower on it. "Orchis. Never heard the name before until now, but a couple of weeks ago at a business convention, I got a card from a an exec from a defense contractor and told me to give him a call. I never did because I was....busy." He paused, not wanting to talk about his secret life as a superhero, "But it's too much of a coincidence that someone from a defense contractor is handing out business cards with only a picture of a flower on it and a new group named after a type of flower coming into play for it to not be connected." Both Monet and Duskk sat beside the Hellfire and Marauders. She took everything she heard and saw in. She stood up and walked over to Darkwing’s side and gazed down at the card he was holding.
“I think we have an opportunity here with Darkwing and the opening he has with Orchis. This really works in our favor. Darkwing, what are your thoughts on this?”Brian's posture changed when Monet called him Darkwing. He wasn't shocked that she knew his superhero identity, but if she knew, then maybe the others in Hellfire did, too. And even if they didn't, they knew know, so there was no point in keeping up the act anymore. "I don't think it's as simple as just this Orchis," he said, now sounding cold and off-putting instead of the welcoming person like he was moments before. "Weapon Plus had plenty of in-fighting well before Orchis was a thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if their warring with each other helped the split and helped Orchis, especially after Nathan Pliskin leaked their information on to the dark web." Brian then looked over at Allen and handed him his phone. "Pull down Mobile-3. I might be spending a few nights on Krakoa.""You sure you want to risk pulling down #3? I don't think the Atlas Foundation will take too kindly with one of their satellites landing on Krakoa.""Jimmy Woo owes me a favor," Darkwing replied before he turned back to Monet. "Nathan Pliskin has been dead for months, so it's not hard to think that he and his section of Weapon Plus got destroyed by Orchis. So either they're weaker than they want anyone to know because of it, or something worse. But I haven't heard from Fury Jr since he went to the CIA and Snake doesn't talk much either."

"Wow, this is gorgeous," Ray said to himself as he looked across the landscape of the small town. It was almost enough to make him reconsider against moving to Krakoa, but he knew that the moment anything forced him to stick around, he would no doubt be drawn back into the X-Men.
He listened to Rose speak on not knowing what team to join after everyone congratulated Quentin and Everly and then chimed in. "You know, nothing is stopping you all from making your own team with your own mission. X-Men, X-Force, Excalibur, X-Factor, those are all things made by the others, but if they don't work for you, make your own. You could always be the new X-Statix, I don't think those guys are active anymore!" Ray said with a laugh.
As he turned around to take the ice slide down to the ground the others began to, he felt a tingle as he sensed something and began to stare off in the distance. He didn't know what it was, but it wasn't like the weird feeling he got from Krakoa, it was something else that he really couldn't figure out.

Laura’s wolf sailed into the lead as it leaped over a fallen tree.. In minutes Laura saw the town of Reservoir and it looked like a small New Orleans.. The buildings were all made from plants and stones..
“This place is beautiful and a bit creepy being empty!” Spouted Laura as she came to a stop at the front of the town..
“Rogue and Gambit are going to love this place!” Laura said as she took her phone out and began to take pictures..
“My home is just a small walk from here!” Jason said as he slid off of his wolf onto the ground.
“So I will be hanging out here a lot I guess!” He said as Laura turned around with her phone. He smiled at her as she took his picture.
“I have extra rooms at home. If you, Gabby or Seth want to visit I would love it.” Jason said as he walked over and joined them.

So either they're weaker than they want anyone to know because of it, or something worse. But I haven't heard from Fury Jr since he went to the CIA and Snake doesn't talk much either." Bishop and Lazuli listened to the conversation intensely.
“I think Brian brings up some serious points. Weapon Plus has many different roots and programs out there. Some of them were in conflict with one another. I am sure there are many more out there that Orchis does not even know about. I also believe that Nathan Pliskin and his Weapon Plus ground made it look like they were destroyed or taken over. I honestly think they are just deeper underground. I also would not be surprised that they are working with Orchis and not for. Like an alliance of sorts but it is hard for me to see Pliskin working for anyone but his own program. He would see Orchis as a resource to be used. Honestly I know nothing and I am just spit balling from experience.” Bishop joined into the conversation just as they arrived at the town.

Emma nodded her head to Kate.
“I feel like there are a lot of moving parts to this. Anything with Weapon Plus is going to be messy. Not for one minute do I believe Pliskin is dead or his independent branch is gone. If anything like Bishop I think that they went deep underground.”

I don’t think I am going to be on a team right away. I plan to stay active for the X-Men for sure. Mostly I plan to train some more and enjoy the island before I put myself on an official team.” Santo said as he joined the conversation with his wife and Ray. Rockslide was just really excited about everything that was happening. Life at the mansion was becoming the same thing and he was feeling that he needed a change. For him the future looked brighter than ever..

“Ray you okay?” Victor said once he came down the ice sled and landed next to him. Anole saw Ray looking kind of out of it.
“Did something happen?” Victor sounded very concerned for his friend.

“Gallion, I think we will be spending a lot of time visiting Rogue and Gambit here!” Jubilee said to her husband as the ship came to a stop and Jubilee got a good view of the town.
“Doug, were you thinking of New Orleans when you created The Reservoir? The details of each building and the lanterns for street lights is a nice touch!”
“Yes it was!” Doug responded to Jubilee as he hurried over to the ice slide that Iceman had left behind and slid down it.
“This land reminded me a lot of New Orleans so Krakoa saw what I was thinking of and created this town. I am looking forward to seeing our people bring it to life.”

“Hang on!” Gallion spouted out as he held Shogo tightly in his arms as Jubilee wrapped her legs around him from behind and grabbed a hold of his shoulders.
“Here we go!” Revolver announced as they went down the ice slide with Shogo squealing with joy as they went down.
“Now that was a lot of fun.” He said when they made it down to the bottom.
“These past couple of days have been the best!”

{It really has been the best few days in a very bloody long time!} Jono said as Kendra and him came down the slide together. Once on the ground he scooped Kendra up in his arms when he stood up.
{This place is very special.. I have a feeling a lot of spots on this island are going to be this beautiful or more!} Chamber said as he gently put Kendra down on her feet..

“AYE!” Sean said as he came down the slide next. He tried to stay out of the serious talk for now. Banshee just wanted to spend time with his former students who he saw as his kids. He was still in the process of healing his relationship with his daughter which was going well after his return from the dead. There is always time for doom and gloom and he will lend himself when the time comes.. For now he was celebrating life with his kids.
“This place is breathtaking!” Sean said as he looked all around with a big smile on his face.
