	Bob Banner's eyes widened as Matt explained he was from another world - his heart skipped a beat nervously. It felt simultaneously like it had been yesterday and also a lifetime ago that he had sent his little girl to another universe, in order to give her her best chance at growing up safe, happy, and secure. Each time travelers from another dimension arrived on Genosha, it sparked hope in him that maybe, his little girl would be among them. [i](This was the third time that travelers from another universe had arrived on the island, making it rare but not unheard of).[/i] "Are any of you adopted and assigned female at birth?" Banner asked quickly. "It's just... Well, I sent my daughter through one of those portals a long time ago."

	Dr. Reyes' gaze softened, as she put a hand on Banner's shoulder for a moment to give him some comfort. She then returned to tending to the patients. "We should be able to help your friends - or at least, attempt to. Psychic surgery is a Genoshan specialty," Dr. Reyes said. "Although, I don't know [i]why[/i] your memories would be altered... We have some residents on the island from other universes or timelines, like Cable, and as far as I'm aware he never has had any symptoms like that."

	Sage raised her glasses for a moment, looking at Flynn. She then dropped the shades back into place. "Then they didn't travel the universes in the same way the others did. How exactly did this portal come to be? Any detail you can give would be helpful."

	"Oh," Prodigy then said suddenly. He had the mutant power of gaining knowledge - what someone else knew, he then knew. His brain synced with the information in Oliver's head, and he turned to Banner. "Excuse me, Bob - but your daughter is outside. She's here."

	Destiny's voice was reminiscent of Kreia's from KOTOR II - patient, old, and wise, with an authoritative softness. She turned to look at Flynn, her gaze concealed by the terrifying golden mask. "If they fall, Genosha will share their fate," Destiny said simply. She didn't offer any elaboration. That was one problem with seeing the future - sharing too much information could be as disastrous as giving any at all. Each prophecy she gave had to be vague or else the consequences could be dire. 

	Raynor frowned, thinking back on the Professor X and Magneto he had known over twenty years ago. He had been angry and raw back then, fresh from the loss of his parents. And those two had been more than happy to provide Raynor a target for his rage, manipulating him into becoming their weapon against the world. Raynor couldn't really claim he had been truly deceived though; he had known what they were doing all along. He just hadn't cared. [color=d86615]"The worst,"[/color] Raynor finally answered, telling Cass what she could expect from the duo. [color=d86615]"There isn't a line they're unwilling to cross."[/color] 

	The conversations then stopped, as [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415345821098311681/998449289783152750/unknown.png]Charles Xavier and Erik Magnus Lensherr[/url] entered the Waiting Grove - better known by the codenames Professor X and Magneto. Their hands were clasped as they walked - Magneto was wearing an all white variant of his costume, his cape trailing behind him ominously, and his face almost entirely obscured by his helmet. Professor X was in a black body suit, his waist looking [i]snatched[/i], and on his head was a portable Cerebro unit, making it impossible to see his eyes. 

	"It is true then - you have returned, Ragnarok," Magneto said. 

	"You are always welcome on Genosha, my boy - you're one of our lost heroes - but... I have to ask - why now?" Professor X added. "After all this time, why return here?"

	Raynor shifted uncomfortably. In many ways, Charles and Magnus had been his adoptive fathers - his dads. They had molded him into the person he had become, just as much as Baldur and Nanna had. He felt like an uncertain young man again, standing in front of them. [color=d86615]"I was investigating an anomaly with my team - it pulled us across the multiverse and we landed here by chance,"[/color] Raynor said. 

	"All the realities and it brought you to us... That's curious," Magneto murmured. 

	"I sense that's not all though?" Professor X pressed. 

	Bonnie jumped into the conversation. She didn't feel like this was a closed forum between these three, particularly after she had used Athena's power to call Professor X to them. [color=f6989d]"No, it isn't. We were sent looking for some dangerous people who had escaped prison - Luminous and Doctor Doom. They're magical and volatile - we have no idea what sort of damage they might do to this world."[/color] Bonnie paused for a moment, before continuing. [color=f6989d]"We need to apprehend them and return to our universe, but some of us are experiencing memory problems. Like we're being overwritten with the memories of our lives here, slowly forgetting our lives back home... We don't have any team psychics, so we need help if we're going to complete our mission and get home."[/color]

	[color=FFB795]"Supposedly, I'm not actually from here? Which again feels super wrong, since my memory is totally fine, and she's definitely the one that's not from here,"[/color] Amelia said, before hitting Aero slightly with her elbow. Aero furrowed her eyebrows and elbowed Amelia back. "No, we decided [i]you[/i] are," she reminded her. [color=FFB795]"No way. Anyways, if you could do your mental whammy trick to fix everyone, that would be cool. There's like two Firestorms right now and that seems like two too many - no offense,"[/color] Amelia said, looking at Firestorm. 

	Magneto turned his gaze to look at his son. "Where is your double, then?" Magneto asked. 

	"Um, excuse me!" Eye Boy said, calling Xavier and Magneto's attention to him. "They're surrounded by some sort of red energy - feels almost magical. Like... ugh, I don't have a good reference for it, but otherwise I don't see anything weird. The doubles are all identical, like perfect clones. But there's something clinging to them. Well, except for those ones," Eye Boy said, pointing at Raynor, Sparky, and Darcy. 

	"I see," Professor X said, before focusing for a moment. Each member of the Secret Warriors would briefly feel a probing presence in their minds, before it lessened and vanished. "You did a great deal for Genosha and helped to establish our young nation - so we will help you," Professor X promised, looking at Raynor. 

	"I can perform psychic surgery on you all to stave off the effects, but it will be only a temporary solution. I may be able to temporarily restore some clarity to your minds, but it will be difficult - and you will need to assist me. In the meantime, I can dispatch some resources to attempt to locate this Luminous and Doctor Doom you seek."
