[b]Skills:[/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color][/center][hr][b]Bar Sinister...[/b] 

	One of the Sinisters sighed, slumping his shoulders slightly. It was unclear whether the Sinister was actually sad about Renegade being sick, his inability to cure her properly, or that Jack just wouldn't let the question go. [color=8E6BB3]"She has a deadly, mutated variant strain of M-Pox,"[/color] Sinister finally said. [color=8E6BB3]"I've named it X-Pox, as in [i]Essex[/i] Pox after myself of course for its discovery."[/color]

	Another Sinister then jumped in. [color=8E6BB3]"It's incurable. And if we can't fix it, then there's no one else out there in the world who can,"[/color] he commented. [color=8E6BB3]"Not even one of those nasty Hank McCoy variants could do it. Face it, sonny, your mother's body is doomed. Better to prune it away before it can mutate even further and find a way to spread..."[/color]

[b]Renegade's (Rebuilt) Apartment...[/b]

	Renegade shrugged off Moneta's apologetic look - she really didn't mind. She loved using her powers for little things like that anyways - it made her feel [i]alive[/i]. Sure, using her powers for the betterment of mutantkind was also fulfilling, but in a different way. It was nice to just do things for fun, not because lives depended on it. She led them inside to her apartment and opened it up. Flower Child was still off elsewhere on the island and wouldn't be home for a bit, so Moneta, Mongoose, and Renegade had the place to themselves. 

	Most of Renegade's things had survived, so it looked pretty similar to how Moneta had seen it last - only the drawings Flower Child had made were gone. They'd been lost in the attack on the island. But already there was one new drawing up, depicting what looked like the Heroes of Genosha saving the kids of the Akademos from strange monsters the size of skyscrapers. 

	"Make yourself at home," Renegade said with a shrug. 

[b]Outside the Hospital...[/b]

	People didn't usually think of Casper as the observant type - he had a reputation for being easily distractible. But that was the paradox that was at his core - in order to speed off topic so easily and so quickly, Casper couldn't help but notice the little things, the tiny moments. They usually sparked a new train of thought in his head, abandoning the big things in favor of the small. And here and now, Casper immediately noticed the way that James tensed up - the way James' entire body screamed [i]we are in danger[/i]. Casper shifted his stance immediately, stepping out slightly in front of James, in order to do his best to protect him and make it clear to the world that no one was getting to his husband without a fight. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"I... I think maman can handle Danny,"[/color] Casper said, trying to project an aura of calm now for James. That more or less resulted in Casper's fingers being twitchy and jittery, and him not being able to settle into a comfortable stance. [color=DBA1DE]"And sure, let me just think that back,"[/color] Casper paused, before thinking as loud as he could the thought that James had asked him to give. 

	The reply then came (in only Casper's mind) - [color=935DB8][i]"Thanks. See you then. And got it, let James know we won't do any other telepathic calls."[/i][/color]

	[color=DBA1DE]"Okay, Veil says okay, and they won't use telepathy to contact you anymore,"[/color] Casper explained. [color=DBA1DE]"So... to the apartment complex then? Maman will hopefully be there, so we can give Danny to her..."[/color]

[b]Max's Apartment...[/b] 

	Sunshine paused for a moment, before blurting out. [color=#DAF7A6]"Where the hell are we going to find a bunch of candles people aren't needing?"[/color] she asked. The only candles she could think of at the moment on the island were in heavy use, helping to provide lighting for those whose shelters did not currently have power, or acting as portions of memorials to the fallen 198 mutants lost in the attack. 

	Pixie snorted slightly. "I can handle getting us candles, can just pop on over to John Lewis and rummage up some," she said, referencing a home goods chain local in the UK. She didn't mention anything about paying, but perhaps it was best not to ask. Pixie giggled slightly at Harry's curiosity, before blowing a puff of pink dust into his face - and suddenly, Harry would be hallucinating that everyone in the room had turned into a Sailor Moon style magical girl! 

	"I guess that's everything, then," Marrow commented with a shrug, before eating some more of the marrow stew. "Can't believe you're going to casually raise the dead, but whatever. If it works, you'll be a legend. More than that, actually. You'll be a god."

[b]Outside the House of M...[/b] 

	The skull said nothing. Selene had instructed the skull to deliver the presents to Luna Minor, claim her as her daughter, and ensure that the spell of transformation was completed (which it seemed to have been, given her new status as an energy vampire). Selene had also mentioned not wanting to see Luna Minor just away, explaining some worry that her daughter might turn out to be an uninteresting flop, and that there'd be plenty of time for them to chat at the gala. 

	Zari, meanwhile, would be feeling just a little bit tired from Andy draining her - like Zari had been doing a light warm-up before a workout - tired but alert. 

[b]Outside the Green Lagoon...[/b]	

	[i]"They'll meet you back at the apartment, and James doesn't want any future telepathy,"[/i] No-Girl chimed into Veil and Spark Plug's minds. Veil thought a response back to Casper, telling him that they understood and would meet him there, and then No-Girl ended the connection. [i]"Is that everything?"[/i] Martha asked, sounding a little bit impatient. Even though she was a floating brain in a jar, she still had things she wanted to do and people she needed to go see. 

	[color=935DB8]"Yes, thank you,"[/color] Veil said. Martha then floated off inside the Green Lagoon. Veil shrugged at Callie's question about whether or not Casper had kidnapped a baby. [color=935DB8]"I'm guessing no, since James is with him? I don't think James would be cool with kidnapping,"[/color] Veil said. She was pretty confident James would never kidnap someone - Casper she wasn't too sure about. [color=935DB8]"But we should head back to Max's place then, they'll meet us there and then we can see if Max can pull off a miracle on demand this time."[/color]
