[color=8E6BB3]"But breathe a word of this little project to anyone else and it'll be your head, lad."[/color] [color=8E6BB3]"And we'll just bring back a son who can [i]listen[/i] to us better,"[/color] another Sinister added with a sneer. [color=8E6BB3]"Anyways, off you pop, Jackie,"[/color] the last Sinister said, before snapping his fingers. Sinister had a LARGE assortment of powers, most of them from the result of his experiments on himself and augmentations he had received from Apocalypse. One of them happened to be the ability to teleport. And so, Jack was teleported right into his mother's living room, moments after Casper and James had walked in. [b]En Route to Renegade's...[/b] Casper didn't usually think about the big questions - some might have claimed that his gift of speaking to the dead was wasted on him. He didn't spend much time pondering the [i]hows[/i] and [i]whys[/i] of existence, how the mortal soul operated, and what implications the existence of ghosts had on the afterlife. Until he had seen Selene eat ghosts during the massacre, he hadn't even been certain as to whether or not a ghost could be harmed. [color=DBA1DE]"I... I don't know,"[/color] Casper admitted. [color=DBA1DE]"It's not fair to let some people come back and leave others dead - like what if there's the most deserving person in the world who died and we just don't know about it? Or what if we start deciding that because someone broke a law, they can't come back - but what if the law was rubbish and stupid in the first place? Can we even really judge who is good or bad? Does it matter? Do bad people get to come back too?"[/color] [color=DBA1DE]"But I think they can be hurt - like, Selene [i]ate[/i] people's ghosts,"[/color] Casper said. [color=DBA1DE]"And then Ben was, like, dazed for a while after that entire thing. I dunno if they could bleed or anything, they certainly can't eat like waffles or whatever, they can experience heartbreak - I think Ben [i]finally[/i] got over Max and Jackie... So I think we could definitely fuck it up. Like really bad. I just don't know what fucking it up would look like."[/color] They made it to the door to Renegade's apartment and Casper knocked - the same knocking pattern that little Anna did in Frozen. [color=DBA1DE]"Mamaaaaaaan? C'est moi, ton fils préfèré!"[/color] [b]Renegade's (Rebuilt) Apartment...[/b] "Mostly, yeah - Flower Child's really sad about her artwork, but... She'll bounce back. Kids are resilient," Renegade said, as Purple Mongoose started climbing up the wall and onto the ceiling, running around in circles. She was babbling some sort of nonsense about being a fairy princess and needing to find her lady knight to protect her - clearly bored of the adults and wanting to do something more make-believe for a moment. There was a knock at the door, followed by the whiny voice of Ellie's middle son, Casper. Renegade opened up the door and her jaw just about hit the floor, seeing a baby boy in James' arms. "Is... Is that a bébé?!" Renegade exclaimed, looking like she was either about to faint, scream, or cheer. The emotions on her face were changing by the second. [color=DBA1DE]"Maman, meet Danny - your grandson, not the phantom kid from Nick,"[/color] Casper said. And then to add to the drama, Jack suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the living room. "You.... [i]What???[/i]" [b]En route to Max's...[/b] Veil blinked for a moment, a slight blush coloring her cheeks. She hadn't even thought about [i]asking someone[/i] to the Hellfire Gala. But the instant that Spark Plug brought it up, the dark haired speedster came into her mind - Aurora. Veil dismissed the thought as soon as it came though. She didn't really know Aurora. And she had never really put much stock into a dating life. She had always been too busy, first with the Underground, and now on Genosha's Quiet Council. [color=935DB8]"I honestly hadn't really thought of it - you know my dating life's been pretty dry since... well, since I started with the Underground,"[/color] Veil admitted to Spark Plug. [color=935DB8]"I imagine my brother is going with Legion. They're weird together, but it makes sense,"[/color] she said with a shrug. She had been rather irritated with the weird psychic stuff that Echo and Legion had been up to earlier, but time and distance had caused the irritation to fade. If her brother was happy, then that was all that mattered. [color=935DB8]"What about yourself?"[/color] Veil asked, as they reached Max's apartment and Veil knocked on the door. [b]Max's Apartment...[/b] Pixie rolled her eyes slightly. "John Lewis is a department store, silly," she chastised him. "But I s'pose you Americans don't have them, then. Which is a pity - they're really lovely." However, she didn't spend too much time teasing Max. She was instead mildly amused by Echo's reaction to her pixie dust. Not many people realized that Pixie actually had a bit of a mutant lineage of her own - her sisters in fact were infamous for their illusion powers, as was her horrible father. The illusions would clear from Echo's eyes and Pixie stuck out her tongue at him. [color=#DAF7A6]"Aww, you should've left him like that,"[/color] Sunshine said with a slight pout. It had been rather funny to see Echo's befuddlement, though Sunshine likely would've pushed things further. It was a pretty minor reaction from him and she knew that he definitely had way more range than that. Echo could've at least screamed or something. "Next time, make him think his body is rotting away to nothing," Marrow suggested, as there was a knock at the door. Marrow opened up the door, revealing Veil and Spark Plug outside. [color=935DB8]"Casper and James are on their way. They just... have to drop off their baby."[/color] [color=#DAF7A6]"Wait, someone let that idiot have a baby?!?!"[/color] Sunshine exclaimed, before cackling like mad. [color=#DAF7A6]"Oh gods this is amazing. This is the best day of my life. Casper raising a baby. That's fucking mad. James is fine, but Casper???"[/color] [b]Outside the House of M...[/b] [color=black][b]"THE MOON GODDESS WANTS A CHAMPION."[/b][/color] The skull then stopped talking again, letting the words hang in the air. The concept of gods having champions was not really much of a thing when it came to Asgard - Asgardians would have demigod children, but they didn't usually have mortals to do their bidding. That was more of a Greek or Roman concept - and Selene did love to LARP as a Greco-Roman goddess.
