Post by Desdemona on Mar 10, 2024 1:31:56 GMT
Desdemona decided not to go to the wedding. It still felt weird being amongst so much of the family, and she was not sure she could keep up with the jolly vibes any more tonight.
She did walk over to where Cyclops, Dragonfly, Havok, Major X, Captain Carter, Mystique and her cousin Axl were discussing the plans for the battle tomorrow. She nodded to her "battle buddy" Major X before she walked over toward Mystique and Axl. "Trojan horse? Interesting. And you have a Juggernaut, a Suprema and, if armored properly, a demon guardian of Hell in cousin Eamonn here."
"Des, I have a hide like a rhinoceros when I transform," Axl started to say as Desdemona tapped her foot impatiently. "What?"
"Orla was having armor made for you. My sources are never wrong. Where is it?"
"My sister was off on some hunt for an armory to make me something, yes," Axl said as she shook his head. "Never made it into my greedy little hands."
"Fine, I'll go to Buckland with the MacLeods. That armory has doors they don't know about. I'll find you something...suitable," Des replied as she looked at Major X again. "And if I find anything else that could help, I'll get it here. Cyclops, my mother alerted me to the Clan Akkaba problem. I'll make sure to come back well armed."

Dante kind of scowled at the thought of Brigantia running through Sydney's head, but he quickly fixed his face after reminding himself that things here were not guaranteed to happen the same way he'd seen in other realities. It was hard to not think about since some things that he'd seen actually did end up happening in some way or another since he'd been back, like with the death of Cable, and with someone ending up with his arm. It was a big coincidence to wrap his head around, he just had to keep focused on making sure things didn't get as bad as he'd seen it in other universes.
"Don't worry about me, there's only so many times I can lose an arm," He said with a laugh. "I don't think I can lose it a third time, that'd be crazy! Sleep does sound good, we do have a big day tomorrow."

Roz fumbled with the ribbon as she looked at those gathered for the ceremony. "This is something that would have fallen to just about anyone else in the family given better circumstances, so I'm sorry if I seem a tad rumbled." she looked at Kari and swallowed hard. {{I'm going to mess this up. Remember the last time?}}
"Ahem," Rhiannon said as she looked at her cousin from the back of the room and shook her head. "I know that face, and I can feel the twitchy vibes from here. Roslea is thinking back to many, many years ago when our cousin Aerfen was set to marry, and forces beyond all our control nipped that joyous day in the bud. Not you, dear Roslea. Not Kari. Not me. Not any in the long line of relations. Jessie and Ewan are a different couple in a different place. Not star-crossed. Not cursed."
"That was the one before the demon," Kari said softly to the group assembled. "The one Aerfen does not speak about. So, it does not leave this room."
"Roslea, you have this well in hand," Rhiannon concluded as she stepped back. "As you always do."
Roz let out a deep sigh as she clutched the ribbon more tightly. "Then...family and friends, we are gathered here to join Ewan and Jessie as one. We. All of us. Because love flows in and around us all, and it will be up to us to make sure they have their full chance to live out their best lives together. To grow as a couple as well as individuals."
As she smiled at her brother Ewan and sister Rose who stood beside him, Roslea lifted the ribbon upward. "Ewan, if I know you, you have your vows already set, right?"

Ewan had been speechless as Jessie came into the room, and he had kept his own counsel until Roslea asked her question. Jessie looked ethereal, and he did not want to break the spell by speaking too soon.
"You know me well," he said as he took Jessie's hands in his and looked into her eyes.
"Never in a million years did I think I would be able to find someone as amazing as you who would be willing to accept me for who and what I am and not flinch. For being able to see through the armor I, at times, put around myself and my heart when things become too complicated. Jessie, you bring light and joy and harmony into my life, even on the darkest and craziest of days. I can only hope that, as time goes on, I prove to be a light to you as much as you are to me."
The only thing Ewan would have wanted to be different at this point was for everyone he loved to be here for this moment. He hoped that would be remedied down the road.

Jessie tried to hold back tears as Ewan said his vows and it was time to say hers. "Ewan. From the moment I came into this world I was created to be a being of destruction. Never knowing love. Only darkness. I've struggled my whole life to find meaning beyond my created purpose until I found you. You've brought light to darkness I never thought I would ever see. You saw past my celestial side to see the being beneath. In the time I've known you you have given me warmth, love, kindness and so many other things . You say you only hope to bring that light to me. You've done that and so much more Ewan. You saved me. And for that I am honored to share eternity with you." |

"Hope, no one will mind if you have champagne," Scarlett said as she saw Kendra waving them over. "And if anyone gets weird, they answer to me. And Kendra."
"You two," Kendra said as she scooted closer to Jono so that Scarlett and Hope could slip into their little group. "I'm glad you are here. I don't get to talk to you enough."
"Well, we've all been a little distracted," Scarlett said as she sipped her glass of champagne. "We need to fix that. It's been...hard to process stuff," she added as she tapped her forearm and nodded in Kari's direction. "And Mom may be used to battlefield weddings, but most of us aren't. And..."
"Pops, yeah, I understand," Kendra said as she slipped one arm around Hope and the other around Scarlett. "Look, I'm never gonna be Pollyanna about this stuff. I usually swing my mace first. But we have family and family beyond that," she added as she looked toward Jono, Sean and Emma. "Tonight we thank whatever creator or deity we want that we are here. We pray for the safe return of the rest of this family. Then we kick ass."
"Since when did you get all speechy?" Scarlett said as she put down her glass and wiped her eyes a bit. "I thought that was your specialty, Emma? The right word when we need it most? And I'm not being funny. I swear."
always will be. Every one of us goes into these conflicts and do the impossible things we do because
of the bonds that we have to one another! We have moved past the things that had divided us. I
am so grateful that Xavier had come to me and talked me into being a headmistress with Sean. I
am very grateful to be with all of you. Every wedding like this is worth every sacrifice and pain we
have to go through..} Emma said as she could not hide the emotions in the tone of her voice. She
brought down her walls even to her own surprise. |

“I understand and feel every word that you and Kendra had just spoken. The time that I was
headmaster at the academy was the best time of my life. It was when Everett was killed by
the explosion that really broke me in so many ways. Then we lost Angelo. It really put Yee in
a tailspin. Well you all know everything else that has happened to me and I am so blessed to
be here with all of Yee now. All of you mean so much to me and we can handle anything as
long as we have one another..”

Desdemona decided not to go to the wedding. It still felt weird being amongst so much of the family, and she was not sure she could keep up with the jolly vibes any more tonight.
She did walk over to where Cyclops, Dragonfly, Havok, Major X, Captain Carter, Mystique and her cousin Axl were discussing the plans for the battle tomorrow. She nodded to her "battle buddy" Major X before she walked over toward Mystique and Axl. "Trojan horse? Interesting. And you have a Juggernaut, a Suprema and, if armored properly, a demon guardian of Hell in cousin Eamonn here."
"Des, I have a hide like a rhinoceros when I transform," Axl started to say as Desdemona tapped her foot impatiently. "What?"
"Orla was having armor made for you. My sources are never wrong. Where is it?"
"My sister was off on some hunt for an armory to make me something, yes," Axl said as she shook his head. "Never made it into my greedy little hands."

"And if I find anything else that could help, I'll get it here. Cyclops, my mother alerted me to the Clan Akkaba problem. I'll make sure to come back well armed."
“I do hope you get some rest before going into tomorrow..” Major X sounded concern but he did not
know if she needed rest.. In his world he had known a few mutants that did not need to sleep or eat..
“I wish you safe travel to and from your destination..” Alexander smiled at her.. |

Post by Mystique on Mar 14, 2024 0:08:36 GMT
“All my years I have not been one that has seen or experienced the mystical side of things..
So Desdemona what kind of magical armor do you think that would find for Axl?” Mystique
asked but it was in a tone that made Axl pop an eyebrow.. As if Mystique already knew about
this armor.. And she did know about it.. Many years ago before Irene had died.. She painted a
beautiful painting of Axl in armor with his arms around her and Raven.. Destiny had prophesied
a relationship between the three of them.. An unconventional relationship from the normal world..
That is why when Mystique met Axl she embraced him into her life.. Irene was right he was someone
that she had fallen for the same way she did with Irene.. After losing Axl and Irene, Mystique became
more detached and ruthless and lost herself.. Now with Axl back she was convinced more than ever
that Irene was going to return.. All three of them will share a life together..

“I am sorry Captain, Alex or I did not know that you were unaware of the situation. Like my
brother we assumed that was the case and that was something that we did not know that
was a surprise to you..” Cyclops said as Havok looked surprised and shocked.. Scott put his
hand on his shoulder to comfort him as he spoke to Carter. “Are you okay Captain?”

“I think that we all assumed that you were a mutant. So Captain, welcome to the tribe, it's
going to be a crazy ride.” Young Cable as he let out a long yawn. “Well I do not know about
all of you. I am going to get as much sleep as I can before we head out for the mission.”
Nathan said as he turned and headed out of the hanger..

When I became Captain Carter for many at the beginning it was a mistake. A man who you know as Captain America in this world was supposed to be in the place where I stand in my own time. But I believe fate isn't coincidental just as I believe here and now. I've seen nothing but bravery, compassion and love among this family and lady fate decided that I should be among you. Not just as an ally but as one of you....." Captain Carter said with a nod to everyone.
"If there's nothing else I think I will retire for some rest as well. We all need it." |

“I am really sorry I just assumed all the mutants from other alternate worlds that were being brought to this world that you were
one of them!” Havok said as he was a bit confused. Welcome to the X-Men Captain. I think getting some rest is much needed.”
Havok said as he left the hanger and went to his bunk.

{I think we should do it at a time where we can celebrate with Logan on Krakoa. By that time all your memories will return to you completely.}
Jason said to his twin telepathicly sister Diana as they walked together to the bunker. {It will be a better way for our father to process this and
we can try to bring those memories back.}

Domino was curious about what was going on the hanger but she had a strong idea what was going down. She was too tired to get up
from her bunk to confirm her suspensions. So she pulled out a flask from her web-gear. The flask was a gift from Colossus. The flask
was filled with Peter’s favorite Russian vodka. A name she could never pronounce right. She laid in her bunk taking swigs every few
minutes watching others enter the bunker heading to the bunks. She slowly fell asleep listening to the small conversation from everyone
around her.
