Though Ray was tired, he stayed awake for the ceremony for Jessie and Ewan. He was happy for both of them, but he couldn't help but be angry at the circumstances. The two of them deserved to have their moment just like everyone else, not inside of a decked out basement that would have every government organization in the country banging on the door if they knew it existed. But he was glad they could have it, since he didn't think that they weren't getting out of this next battle without some injuries.
"I hope you smiled for the last one," Dominique said as she walked over to Ray and sat next to him. She was always closer to Naomi than she was to him, probably because she came out of Nathan's Armitage program just like she had, so Ray knew how she felt about his sister being gone without her even saying anything.
"Of course I did," Ray replied, "It was underwater, it was immaculate. You should've seen it."
"I planned on it. But there was stuff I had to take care of since the New Warriors disbanded, then I had to help out the Champions get some things squared away in case things turn more south."
"Oh yeah, that new registration act they keep talking about passing."
"They're acting like they already did. I slipped away to Silk after some commotion, helped her with some werecat, I think, and then slipped into the mansion for a nap. Then I woke up to some robots on the lawn."
"Even when you're not with the X-Men, you still get the X-Men luck."
"Damn right," Dom said with a laugh as she watched the ceremony, "We talked about this before, me and Naomi. Asked her how she wanted her big X-Men wedding."
"Oh?"
"Yup. Every time I asked her, she'd punch me and laugh and then said 'I'm not getting married until Ray does!'"
"She must've said that because she doesn't think I'm going to get married."
"Pretty much!" They both shared a laugh afterward.

{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.}
those blocks from our minds. I think that I can open the mental blocks from Logan’s mind if not then our mother Jean can. She needs to be involved in
this too. I do not know if these memories are also blocked from her or not.} Diana said in a telepathic conversation with her twin brother Jason. They both
sat down on their bunks next to one another. She wanted to talk more but she fell asleep once her head touched the pillow. |

As everyone went to sleep, Warlock connected to the prime computer of Dragonfly’s bunker and accessed all the information that Sage
had gathered from the Orchis technology and communication devices that Mystique and others had taken from the last battle. Sage had
done a lot of work to decipher communication and communication stations all over the planet and in space. As she slept he continued her
work of deciphering and trying to gather more information.

OOC: Saeldur is an elf I played for a bit on the board (Legoals pics of Orlando Bloom). Penelope the Apothecary and her home The Arda were creations of a former gamer named Stephanie. The Arda and my characters there may pop up eventually. The Bloodwinds are mages (Nicolas Cage and Jeff Bridges) that may one day pop up for a story arc or two.

Des looked at Alexander and nodded as she thought for a moment about the Buckland armory. "I will take you up on your offer of a place to crash. If my hunch is right, Old Man MacLeod might have left a gateway to a stockpile open that I can access quickly and get back to you to get some rest. Many others in Azazel's dimension do not need sleep, but I do. Now, Mystique," she said as she turned back toward the shapeshifter, "the armor I was referring to sort of looks like this," Des added as she pulled an old book from a pouch she had slung from her belt. "It's made from metals that come from a hell zone no humans have stayed in for long."
"Oh joy," Axl muttered. "Orla said she was going to visit that idiot Grazeer. He always over-promises and delivers..."
"Delivers what the buyer requests," Desdemona grunted. "Orla is not an idiot. She has ordered armor for half our extended family. This is made with something as close to uru metal as one can get in the demon realms. What is so good about it, Mystique, is that it can adapt to whatever form Axl is in. Grazeer has made is before for some in my father's forces. And if you can't get Telos, mother's old friend and the armorer for the Askani Temple when it was here, to make some for you, Grazeer is the next best shot. He's a mystic that lives in the Arda now, with Saeldur, Uncle Caedmon's old elf friend, and all those folks who the X-Men know well like Penelope the Apothecary. Uncle Malachi has a dragon den there."
Des did not like going to the Arda herself, but she knew Orla would have had no issues there unless Grazeer could not get the metal. "I'll see what I can do. The Bloodwind Brothers might have an idea on where to get some. They always know what's going on in the dark realms." |

Xi’an put her arm around Jolie, “You are family now and I am looking forward to building a strong
friendship with you.” Karma said with a smile and then looked over at her girlfriend and waved at
her again seeing that she was surrounded by her friends and family. Xi’an was just happy that
Roslea did not look mad that she was late coming to the wedding.

and then opened one of her skull pouches and pulled out a small rolled up painting of her with Destiny
and Axl.. Axl was wearing the armor in the picture. “This is just a copy of the painting that Destiny had
done back in the late seventies. The real painting is tucked away in a safe spot.” Mystique said as she
looked as if she was possibly happy. “I think it is time for me to call it a night.” |

Alexander held out his left arm and the techno-organic metal around his wrist began to form into
a gold bracelet. He was born with the techno virus within his DNA and has full control over it unlike
his father Cable who has to use his mental powers to keep it from killing him. Alexander’s body-armor
is made from the T.O. virus and he is able to create any kind of technology. “When you are done all you
need to do is say your name and bodyslide after it and Belle will transport you to Graymalkin.” Major X
explained to Desdemona as he carefully put it around her wrist..

"And now it's up to me," Roz whispered as she held the handfasting ribbon in her fingers. "Before the handfasting, the rings, please," she said as she saw the rings Rose had helped conjure for the ceremony. "Thank you, sister, for your gifts this day."
After Ewan and Jessie placed the ring on the other's finger, she carefully bound their hands in the shimmering ribbon that she held.
"I promise that when we do this again before all of your family and friends that I will be much more prepared. This is a simple prayer, and I hope that it will suffice.
May these hands be blessed this day. May they always hold each other. May they have the strength to hang on during the storms of stress and the dark of disillusionment. May they remain tender and gentle as they nurture each other in their wondrous love. May they build a relationship founded in love, and rich in caring. May these hands be healer, protector, shelter, and guide for each other."
As everyone watched, the ribbon seemed to flicker and melt into the hands of Ewan and Jessie. If their brother Caedmon were here, he'd be able to see it still because of his power to discern the lines of connection between all souls.
"May forever not be long enough for you two," Roz said as she squeezed Ewan and Jessie's hands. "Ewan, you may kiss your bride." She then looked over at Xi'an and smiled before wiping a small tear from her eye.

Tears started to fill Ewan's eyes as well as he reached down and kissed Jessie. "The trick with the ribbon was taught to the girls by Mamo Siofra," he said quietly after he broke the kiss. "Has to do with the Celtic goddess of love Aine. She always thought the boys wee too rough and tumble to learn such a thing."
Ewan looked down at his hands and Jessie's and smiled as the faint glow of the ribbon could still be seen.
"Thank you, everyone, for making this moment special," he said as he held up Jessie's hand in his while those there gathered closer around them. "I hope love will carry all of us through the days ahead. I guess we should all call it a night then?"

"Oh," Desdemona said as Alexander put the bracelet around her wrist. "Thank you. That does make things much simpler," she added as she looked at the device. "Mother always told me about your father's tech, but I have never actually been part of a bodyslide before."
There was noise behind the group as Piper and Sydney MacLeod motioned for Desdemona to join them. "Scarlett is on her way as well. I better go. I'm sure the invitation might be taken back if I stay here too long," she said with a slight smirk. "I'm kidding, but only a little bit. I'll see you later."
Before she left, Des walked closer to Mystique and Axl. "May I please see that painting again? The sword looks...familiar..."
As Des looked at the image, she knew exactly what sword that was that Axl had in the painting. "I know that blade. I'll fetch it. I promise."
"We need to go now," Piper said as Desdemona ran out to join the MacLeods as Scarlett came from the wedding and ran behind them through the portal to Edinburgh.
OOC: I am not playing out the Buckland thread. The ladies will show up in the other open threads quickly with their gear.

You know I'll be by your side Turn the darkness into light And we'll make it out alive When the flames are getting hot We'll be walking through the fire Once we keep burning bright And we'll make it out alive
Jessie now had a new path and a new family and while her mother and father were not there at this moment she knew that they were there in spirit and when all this mess was finished they would be able to share this happy moment with them and everyone else who was not there.
"Yes. Thank you everyone who was with us here tonight for this moment. I know it was not the moment many envisioned but it's one that will be forever etched in my memory. " She said looking over at Roslea. "And you have my word that when this is all over and our clan is all back together we do this right. For everyone."
