“Yes this will be very useful!” Sage responded to Mystique as she walked away and then left with Axl. Sage opened the back pack and
looked over at the devices and made sure that they were all disabled and they were. She was excited to figure out what information
she could extract from the devices. She decided to go and grab some food and head back and break down the information as she ate.
So she went upstairs to grab something to eat and drink and then head back to do just that.

Guido gave Karenza a friendly nod after Havok skirted off to talk with his family. He put his hand on Jamie’s shoulder, “I am going to
get us a table and order our favorites!” He said as he left Jamie to talk with Karenza and slid into a booth with a great window seat.
Guido had eaten at Harry’s a few times in the past and really enjoyed the food. He ordered a big basket of golden french fries and onion
rings for the table. He ordered three super cheese burgers for Jamie and Alex. He was just really looking forward to eating.

“Save a seat for me at the bar!” Diana said to Jason as she walked all the way to the back where the jukebox was. (You do not see
these around much.) She thought to herself as she looked through the song list and smiled. She pulled out a dollar from her pocket
to slide it into the jukebox. The jukebox was modern enough that she did not need change. She began to program a few songs before
she headed to the bar. As she walked to the bar the beginning of the song Hotel California began to play.
“I saw the jukebox and I couldn't help myself.” Diana said to her brother and gave a friendly smile to Ghost.

“I think you look unbelievably hot! You know I have a thing for Ryan Reynolds!” Vanessa said as she grabbed Deadpool by the side
of the face and brought him into a big kiss. He then put his arm around her as they headed upstairs.
“So this is the famous Harry’s Hideaway you have been talking about for years. I can not believe this is the first time I am seeing this
place.” Copycat said as she looked all around. The place was like a myth that Wade talked about. So many stories over the years, she
was captivated to see it with her own eyes.

“That sounds delicious! I remember Rahne getting a double order of cinnamon buns and shoving them in her mouth and licking the
frosting from her fingers.” Illyana said as she put her arm around Dani and walked up the stairs with the rest of the New Mutants.
As soon as they went up the stairs Mary and a few of the staff members rushed over with hugs. The New Mutants with the X-Men
had a long history at Harry’s Hideaway. It was a comfortable place for all of them.

Aurora's uniform changed into a simple black dress and short heels. She took a hold of Akihiro’s hand and walked up stairs together
behind Logan and Cair. She greeted Mary and the rest of the staff that came over to say hello to Logan and Cair. Logan introduced
them. Suddenly the song (Hotel California) began to play.
“I love this song.” She whispered to Daken and pulled him over to the dance floor. She put her arms around him and started to dance.

Before Vulcan could respond, Rogue placed her gloved hand on his shoulder and spoke before he could. “Thank you for understanding
Gabe! I knew you would Surgah! Now let’s go up stairs and have a good time because the next few days are going to be balls to the
wall of craziness!” She said as Gambit put his arm around her and they followed behind Juggernaut up the stairs.
“Cain I know that I am saying it again but I am really glad you are back and maybe over drinks you can tell Remy and I about how you
got your new armor?”

("Grandfather I will do my best to prove to Uncle Gabriel that I am not a threat. I just wish mother and father were here.") She said telepathically to Cyclops as they walked. |

A lone dark haired woman sat at the bar waiting as the others started to make their way upstairs.
"Well I thought I'd have to sit here alone forever." Aspen said as Rainmaker ran over and embraced her
"Aspen! You're here?....What are you doing here?! I mean I'm happy to see you but what are you doing here?"
Fathom smiled and returned the embrace. "Father sent me here. With mother's disappearance and him occupied beneath the waves he wanted to make sure there was still a connection between him and the team. That's why I'm here.

Kari nodded to Alex and Guido as they both walked off to other places, and she covered Jamie with a soft green light to speed any healing he needed. "Thank you for always being you, Jamie. I know few people fully understand everything about you, including me. But you are a constant, and I am glad you are here."
Scarlett moved up behind her mother and watched as she went to work on Jamie. "Gabriel might need to find his way around the menu upstairs," Kari said quietly to her daughter before slowly pulling her healing light back. "Peggy, you are right about the battlefield weddings, and we can chat about that when I get to the bar myself. Now Jamie, is there anything else you might need, or might need to tell me, before we go and get some food?"
Kari was not about to go digging around in anyone's mind for intel that might end the Nate situation more quickly, but if Jamie had anything to share, she would gladly listen.

"Got it," Scarlett said as she walked away from Jamie and her mom and over to her Uncle Gabriel. "Hey, let's go grab a table upstairs, and I can fill you in on the few Harry's stories I know. I know they won't be as cool as Logan and Wade's stories, but you can think of them as a minor introduction until everyone gets settled in for a bite to eat."
Scarlett took a deep breath before she turned to see Ray and Quentin talking. As much as she might have wanted to go talk to Ray about finding Naomi, she was sure everyone else had already been driving him nuts on the topic. She turned back to Vulcan and smiled. It was the grin of someone who knew the X-Men's "double edged sword" of questions about her past and the desire for old enemies to become friends if they could toe the line.
"Uncle Gabriel, I'm sorry things get so weird sometimes. I know why you were asking the questions you did. Let's face it. We've had similar ones asked about us. You want to protect the family that was ripped away from you for so long. I get it. And I want you to know that I get all of it. It's tough. And it's extra tough if you are a Summers. Just know I'm here if you need me. Now, I know they have these burgers upstairs that look like small mountains, and the onion rings are super. I haven't been here in a long time, but I'm sure they could make something if it isn't on the menu. What do you think you might want?"

Post by Rhiannon DalCais on Oct 15, 2023 23:54:34 GMT
Rhiannon had said little since she made it to the bunker. She had sent the dragons into a portal realm that was often used by Merlin and Malachi as a resting spot for the mounts in battle. She was not thrilled with being in the middle of this mess that was the X-Men again, but here she stood, covered in blood, guts and motor oil.
"I look like an idiot," she muttered as she went to look around for a place to more or less hide from her family members and the few MacLeod sisters who were here. "What I would not give for a night in my own bed, a good cuppa and some ridiculous box set mystery series to watch on the telly."
After walking down the corridor, Rhi found a spot where she could get a good look at herself. Rhys and Ruarc were right. She was not cut out for this. Demon hunting was one thing. Fighting the metal assassin bots and deranged troopers sent by Orchis was another.
"Hayley why on Earth did Nate take you?" she mumbled as she waved her hand and watched as her grungy battle gear transformed into black loafers, black trousers and a lavender crew neck sweater with small colorful flowers embroidered on it. "And why did he not take me? Was it solely because of Saber's spell, or was it more than that?"
As she finished cleaning herself up, Rhiannon watched Kari as she talked to Jamie Madrox. Rhiannon knew but had not interacted with all the X-Men during her last visit. With the group so small at the moment, that likely would need to change. "If I can be of any help, let me know," she added as she walked toward Kari and Jamie. "And pray no Neo show their faces tonight upstairs. I'll send them en masse to some distant realm. We don't need their brand of insanity tonight."

John had taken the hint and wandered upstairs to get away from Piper and Scarlett. He was no X-Man. He knew that. He had simply been the one to bring Thom back to this world's version of his mother. If he were smart, he'd bugger off to another world. But even John knew he couldn't do that. He could not live with the blood of the X-Men on his hands if things went from worse to worst.
As he turned to see everyone being greeted by the staff, John took off his trench coat and looked at the photos behind the bar.
"It has been so long since I felt a part of anything," he whispered under his breath as the photos told the story of the Children of the Atom, that family known as X. "Maybe I should stay this time."
John looked toward the bar and started to go get a drink, but he pulled up short when he saw a dart board on one of the walls. He smiled and then started to go to the bar once more. "There may be hope yet, you miserable git. Anyone seen a nice bottle of Scotch we can dive into?"

Blake had already used her symbiote to mimic civilian clothes. She hadn't stopped talking to the older version of her father as the group started to head upstairs.
"So pops wanna head to the bar?"

"Gabriel maybe at some point you and I could talk a bit? You are my sister Michelle's uncle and I'm still trying to learn the whole family. You too Scarlett. Hopefully when this craziness is all over we can get to know each other. I hope I didn't interrupt I just wanted to say I understand." She said before leaving the two Summers to their own thoughts. |
