[/hider][hr][hr][center][color=f7941d][b]The Hellfire Club - Earlier...[/b][/color][/center]
	The Three-in-One were dressed from head to toe in black, a veil hiding their mournful faces. Their mother had died, succumbing to a disease before Magneto and his Brotherhood could return with the cure. Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe felt the loss keenly. Their attempts to resurrect their fallen sisters had been futile, with both of the pre-selected hosts perishing before they could begin the experiments. Just as they had done with Mindee and Celeste, the Three-in-One had made a copy of Emma's consciousness right before she died, in the hopes that they could find a suitable body one day. 

	All members of the Washington D.C. Hellfire Club were assembled, in order to select the next Lord Imperial and Black King. The White King, Magneto and the White Rook, Polaris were both still in the field. This meant then that in attendance was the Black Queen, Reeva; the Black Rook, Mister Sinister; the Three-in-One; and a visiting guest, the Black Queen, Selene. 

	[color=B1C1EB]"The Lord Imperial - [i]Emma[/i] - has died,"[/color] Reeva said, standing as she took in the small gathering. [color=B1C1EB]"The other circles have begun to question our leadership. If we are to prepare the homeland and see the rise of Genosha, we need to choose a Black King who will last."[/color]

	Mister Sinister yawned slightly. [color=8E6BB3]"Please, Reeva, spare us the theatrics. We all know you're going to take the throne for yourself. Magneto isn't here to protest and Selene loves New York fashion too much to move to D.C."[/color]

	[color=CDC0CF]"Oh, pish, posh,"[/color] Selene said dismissively. [color=CDC0CF]"If there's anything that matters more to me than fashion, it's [i]Genosha[/i]. I want to see every bouncing mutant babe on that island, living in peace and finding utter bliss."[/color]

	[color=3D5DC3]"We claim the title of White Queen,"[/color] the Three-in-One interjected. [color=3D5DC3]"It is our birthright. Mother wanted her successor to defend Genosha with their life, so we'll support whoever has the greater claim."[/color]

	[color=8E6BB3]"Oooo, a duel! The winner takes the throne, I love it! Phoebe, Esme, Sophie, would any of you be a dear and fetch me some popcorn? With extra butter, I'm having a cheat day,"[/color] Sinister cackled. 

	[color=B1C1EB]"I accept the challenge,"[/color] Reeva said. 

	[color=CDC0CF]"Are you sure about that? I'm an external, darling,"[/color] Selene boasted. [color=CDC0CF]"I never die."[/color]

	[color=B1C1EB]"We'll see about that."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=935DB8]Veil[/color] & [color=DBA1DE]Casper[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.imgur.com/Z9aiZRj.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=935DB8]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Underground: Dining Room
[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [hr][/center]	Everyone had gotten healed up and there was still no sign of Max or Sunshine. Veil was getting worried. She wasn't worried for Sunshine, fairly confident she could handle whatever came her way - she was more concerned that Sunshine might have murdered Max. Jack's reaction to finding out what Mister Sinister had done to him was understandable, in fact it was comforting. Had he done anything other than try to bash his head against the wall, she would have considered him as not being blameless in his actions. 

	Most everyone was downstairs in the dining room, with the exception of Spark Plug as her M-Pox had taken a turn for the worst - she was up in medical. Veil had been calling various heads of Mutant Underground stations, giving them Max and Sunshine's descriptions in the hopes that someone might have seen them, but she hadn't heard anything yet. Well, that was until her phone buzzed with a tip from a number she didn't recognize. Someone had seen them near a strip club downtown called the [i]Glitter Factory[/i]. [color=935DB8]"Someone saw them, they're at the Glitter Factory downtown,"[/color] Veil announced. [color=935DB8]"We'll get a team to go and -"[/color]

	There was a gust of wind into the Underground as Pietro Maximoff appeared out of nowhere and sat down on a chair in the room, and in front of him sitting on the table was a box of sorts. [color=7ea7d8]"Hey, was told to deliver this to you guys, it's cures for M-Pox that Xavier managed to get ahold of. And a message, apparently the Hellfire club might be targeting some vaccines being sent to the White House. Or something like that..."[/color]

	Casper had his feet up on the table, blinking as he saw the box appear nearby. [color=DBA1DE]"Oh great, is Daddy Dearest trying to win father of the year?"[/color] Casper complained. He had to resist the urge to smash all of the cures to make a point, but he knew that wouldn't be a popular decision. Magik had already died because of this, a lot of people here were sick and they needed to be able to function. Casper was used to not really functioning properly, so he didn't mind, but other people weren't intimately familiar with the best ways to projectile vomit. [color=DBA1DE]"And do you have any idea how vague that is... just some vaccines? Like what, are the Hellfire Club people hoping the President is gonna use a dirty syringe they found on the street for his nightly good times? I mean it makes sense, his wife is [i]definitely[/i] a lesbian."[/color]

	[i]"I'm pretty sure that's just a meme, Casper,"[/i] Ben reminded him. [i]"This sounds serious. You should pay attention - and take one of those cures."[/i]

	Pietro had put a single sheet of paper in Veil's hands - it indicated an address. She assumed that was where the vaccines being sent to the White House were coming out from. She couldn't help but feel internally conflicted, as much as she was relieved that their sick would finally be healed. They needed to go find Sunshine and Max, but they also couldn't let the Hellfire Club assassinate the president or whatever was going on. [color=935DB8]"This is above our pay grade,"[/color] she said bluntly to Quicksilver. [color=935DB8]"We'll handle it. Are the X-Men busy with a cross-dimensional tournament?"[/color]

	Casper opened up the box of cures, seeing little vials of pills. He popped open one of the vials and took one pill - the dose needed - and dry swallowed it. [color=DBA1DE]"Nah, the X-Men are too busy having an orgy where they talk about how [i]amazing[/i] they all are,"[/color] Casper explained. [color=DBA1DE]"[i]Oh, Scott, the way you wore that outfit was breathtaking![/i]"[/color] he mocked in a falsetto. 
	
	[color=7ea7d8]"We're handling Magneto - speaking of which, I need to get back.... Good luck!"[/color] Quicksilver cheered, before running off and vanishing as quickly as he came.
