	Veil bolted upright in her bed. Everyone on Genosha would hear the same message buzzing in their ears, sounding off again and again in a sickening loop. They had been there for a few weeks now without any huge issues - beyond Havok running off, Jack turning out to be a clone (a fact that Veil was keeping private), Sunshine marrying her fiancée in a secret ceremony, and Casper's other brother turning up. Okay, there were a lot of issues, but none of the issues involved anyone shooting at them - so that was a plus. Veil glanced over at her roommate, Spark Plug. She half expected to see Sapphire lying there. 

	[color=935DB8]"Erm... Confirming,"[/color] Veil said. She wasn't used to not being the one calling the shots. It had been strange to say the least for the last few weeks, not having everyone's survival depending on her. Images flashed through her mind then, telepathically implanted by the Three in One. Veil was, it turned out, exactly where she was needed. Asteroids were on a collision course with the housing complex, where a good number of Genoshans resided. 

	Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how good her powers were against asteroids - or even what was causing them - but she had to try. [color=935DB8]"I'm going to the roof,"[/color] she told Spark Plug, before making a mad dash out of their room, out the apartment, and towards the staircase.

	Casper groaned, rolling over and throwing a pillow over his head, trying to drown out the telepathic alarm. [color=DBA1DE]"Damn it, Reeva, I'm trying to sleep!"[/color] Casper whined. His father used to do telepathic wakeup calls and Casper had never liked them. He wished there was some sort of telepathic mute button, but instead Reeva's alarm just kept playing over and over again like a siren. It wasn't deafening or anything, but it was enough to keep Casper from going back to sleep. [color=DBA1DE]"I'm not a spandex wearing fighting mutant anyways,"[/color] Casper complained. 

	Ben looked at him, crossing his arms. [i]"People are in danger. They need you, Casper,"[/i] he advised. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Nuh uh, they need you,"[/color] Casper mumbled. 

	[i]"Yeah, they do. And the only way they get me is if you get off of your lazy ass!"[/i] Ben snapped. He then glanced at James. [i]"He'd want you to do it too. In fact, he probably does want you to do it."[/i]

	[color=DBA1DE]"Too bad ghosts can't hear telepaths. And telepaths can't hear ghosts,"[/color] Casper said, before throwing his pillow at Ben. The pillow sailed harmlessly through him. 

	[i]"Real mature, Casper."[/i]

[b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] [/center][hr]	Meanwhile, Sunshine was on the opposite end of the island. She and Marrow had gotten married just a few days before and had insisted on taking a 'honeymoon' without leaving the island nation, so instead they just migrated down south. Hellfire Bay was breathtaking. It was where the Marauders (now mostly reformed and with almost all new members) would set sail to bring back more mutants in need of refuge and a place to call home. It was also where Reeva kept her private jet, but the [i]Marauder[/i] was much, much cooler. 

	Sunshine suddenly found herself being shook awake, followed by an annoying telepathic message repeating in her head - if not somewhat muffled.  

	[i][b][color=B1C1EB]"This is Reeva Payge, broadcasting telepathically to you all by means of the Three in One. We are under attack. Mutants with healing abilities, please report to Hellfire Manor. Mutants with combat abilities, confirm your readiness with the Three in One and your assignment will be given to you. All others, seek shelter at the House of M, Hellfire Manor, or the Akademos. I repeat. This is Reeva Payge..."[/color][/b][/i]

	[color=#DAF7A6]"...Where are we supposed to shelter then?"[/color] Sunshine said with a bit of a laugh, even as her eyebrows narrowed. Her home was under attack. It had taken her so long to find a place where she could exist - a place where she could fall in love and now have the most beautiful and perfect wife. Sure, her heart would always ache for Magik, but Magik had died. Marrow was here and there wasn't anyone else Sunshine would rather be with. 

	Marrow shorted. "Really? You're going to take shelter when we have a chance to skewer some flatscans?"

	[color=#DAF7A6]"How d'you know it's flatscans?"[/color] Sunshine asked, getting up off of the ground and then offering a hand to Marrow. They had fallen asleep on a blanket underneath the stars. It had been incredibly romantic. And what better way to add to the romance than an all out fight?

	"It's always flatscans," Marrow said. "Marrow and Sunny are ready," she then said, knowing the Three in One were listening. 

	Images then flashed through Marrow and Sunshine's heads. 

	[color=#DAF7A6]"Guess we're pirates today,"[/color] Sunshine said, holding her wife's hand as they rushed off towards the [i]Marauder[/i]. All at once, a tremendous earthquake would ripple through the island, knocking almost everyone to the ground and causing any temporary structure to collapse. [hr][hr][color=f7941d]House of M...[/color]

Zarina, Andy, Miranda, and everyone else present (Magneto and Polaris) would be awakened by that same telepathic message. The House of M was one of the designated shelter points in case of disaster, largely as it was built entirely out of metal, meaning that Magneto could protect anyone inside with ease. 

Of course, that didn't stop the ground from shaking as if a giant were bouncing up and down - or the thick, poisonous looking fog that began to fill up all the rooms.
