She wasn't too sure what to say or do, or what to really think. However, at the first chance possible, she did want to have a probably calmer conversation with Raynor. Now that she was a bit more relaxed, and still finding everything a bit strange, she did want to see if he'd actually explain things better then how her brain at the time had taken any sort of explanation or conversation that they had before. Right now though, that didn't seem to be something that was going to happen, especially considering their new visitors or whatever.

They seemed to know Raynor, then again, just about everyone seemed to know Raynor one way or another, whether it was good or bad really. So truthfully that wasn't exactly very surprising. "So... Um... Who exactly are they since just saying what the group is called doesn't exactly help out the rest of us who still don't really know?" she ended up asking. She knew vaguely about Genosha or whatever, it had been mentioned, but who exactly this version of the X-Men were was not something she had much info on.

---

Flynn wasn't too sure what to do at the moment, with broken limbs and all, but he stopped thinking about that sort of thing for the moment, as something seemed to shift in a way in his head. Of course, before he could even say anything really to question what the hell was going on, a bunch of people appeared as if out of nowhere, though to him, it wasn't out of nowhere, he knew exactly was the one who transported that group from Genosha to the Aerie. Yeah, this was insanely weird, and now he wondered how the hell he even got to where he was before hand.

That's when he saw another him, which was insanely weird to him. "Seriously? What I apparently go away for five minutes and apparently got replaced with another me?" he instantly said, looking at the group, but it was clear he was talking to them, and not the group he actually had shown up with.

"Wow you guys definitely trashed the place didn't you? And I thought they were joking a bit when they mentioned Raynor was involved and all. Been a while hasn't it Ragnarok? Last I saw you I was about 4 or 5 or so, that was like a lifetime ago," Firestorm responded, before looking at Eye-Boy. "Yeah, no, there is no way that guy is like me, no way in hell."

"How about you shut the hell up? Seriously Eye-Boy, I'm me, he's not and honestly not sure why you any of you would think otherwise?"

"Ok, take that back seems to be some similarities between us and all now. Vague ones, but they are there. Could be clones, but honestly don't think that they'd have clones of us, since usually the cloning is in the Iron more then anything, and they really don't like us... Oh, and Raynor, you really shouldn't anger Wolverine, you had the original on your team, but trust me, she can cause just as much damage as him."

As for what to do, preferably get the hell out of here and drag the rest of this group with us, and probably have Cerebella scan everyone's minds briefly to ensure that there aren't going to be any issues or whatever, simple really. And if anyone causes issues we can deal with that quickly." Yeah no, to everyone else, it should be fairly obvious at this point what had likely happened with him, and how it was probably the same thing that had happened to Amelia.

"Ok, this is really weird considering he just said what I was thinking. Is he a telepath or something? Well anyway, that's the best move at this point. Since we were sent to bring them with us afterall. So this is going to be fun, excited to be heading back to Genosha Raynor? You can see all that's changed in the over two decades since you've been gone."

Oli nodded weakly at Niah. He knew they needed to get him serious medical attention sooner rather than later, but he wanted to pus as much of a brave face on as he could. After all this, he just... didn't want to keep getting hurt. It seemed cowardly, but if he had the choice between working a desk job or research or literally anything that didn't invoke a daily risk of evisceration, he just felt like he had to take that. There was, however, the worry in his head that the government wouldn't let him stop working, after all, the son of Thanos was probably somebody you wanted to keep on a short leash.

Even with him being barely able to move, Oli's eyes rested on Raynor, somebody that he really did consider a good friend, but nevertheless was caught on ways to kill. He could barely move at the moment, and there was still the persistent thought that he could call Raynor over to him, get him distracted, and rip his heart out of his chest and show it to him before he died. He felt absolutely disgusted with himself, and he had no idea why his brain was doing this. He was only glad that he seemed to have the self control to keep himself from indulging.

Angel's Aerie

"What's Latveria?" Aero asked Cass, having never heard of that place before. "Ya sure ya don't mean Latvia? Because that's a real place. Latveria sounds like something some geek in a basement made up for their D&D campaign," Amelia scoffed, finishing the thought off. "Right, it's a little weird - not sure how I feel about it," Aero added. They didn't have a chance though to respond to the request about medical aid, as the X-Men had showed up. Aero and Amelia both rolled their eyes and stuck out their tongues in response to Syphon's jab. "Tosser," Aero muttered.

Raynor was having a horrible day. He was really regretting that he and Sparky had gone on this mission anyways - they should have taken time off, stayed at home with baby Zari, and let everyone else sort out this mess. Who even cared if Doom and Luminous were in another universe, terrorizing other people - why did that have to be their problem? "The X-Men are Genosha's secret black ops group," Raynor said, answering Sparky's question. "They do the dirty work so Erik and Charles' hands stay nice and clean, letting them play politicians while other people bleed for their dream."

A sense of fear and panic gripped Bonnie once again - she had managed to steady her mind, but now, seeing the X-Men, she felt like a kid. She felt like she was being told again that her parents had been killed in a terrorist attack, that the X-Men were responsible, and that they were gone - forever. She knew that it wasn't true. But emotions were emotions - they demanded to be felt, she couldn't just ignore them. Her knees felt weak and her head dizzy. She wanted to run, to put as much distance between herself and these people as possible.

But running wasn't the logical move. She knew that they needed to get help with what was happening to their minds. And they needed a means to get back home. A mutant country was likely to have someone capable of shunting them back across realities and who could help them to catch Luminous and Doom. Like it or not, she needed the help of these people - they all did. But more terrifying than all of that was the way Flynn was acting - like he wasn't himself anymore.

Bonnie didn't say it, but she knew that he was gone - that the man she loved had been overwritten, much like Amelia had. She just didn't know if it could be undone. "Do we have your word we'll be safe if we come with you?" Bonnie asked, looking at Firestorm. She didn't know how much his word would mean - but she asked all the same.

Raynor was staring at Firestorm. He could clearly see that Firestorm was Flynn - that much was undeniable, especially with how odd Flynn was acting. But saying that Raynor had known him as a child? That... It all suddenly clicked into place in Raynor's mind. He had a strong suspicion as to who exactly Firestorm had been - how he had known Raynor - remembering the little boy who used to follow him around everywhere on Genosha. "I'm sure your old man will be excited to see me," Raynor said bluntly. "How is Erik?"

"Who all is coming?" Mainfold asked, looking at Firestorm so he would know who to teleport back to Genosha with them.

"Huh, weird..." Cerebella said, tilting her head as she stared at Flynn. "Eye-Boy is right, you two really are the same person..."

"I don't think they're a clone of Firestorm either - they're so... authentic. Clones usually look a little synthetic," Eye-Boy agreed.

"They smell the same," Wolverine grunted.

---

---

---

---

"Not clones." She said exasperated. Why did everyone assume clones? Why did everyone want to drag them off to somewhere else? Why couldn't they just have five minutes to discuss strategy? They should have talked more on the plane before dealing with other people. But everyone was fighting. Like normal.

"Honestly, the strangest thing here is Wolverine as a woman." She sighed, leaning in to give Oliver support if he needed it. She could have her leg give Flynn an option other than dragging himself around, but also he had done the same thing Amelia had and was gone as far as she could tell. At least Maria hadn't flipped. Maybe SHIELD should do personality tests before making teams. She glanced at Bonnie knowing that she could not be pleased with Flynn losing himself to his counterpart. She wondered with Maria remembering both why? What difference was there? Or was it by chance that one remembered their world? It also made her worried about what would happen to her. So far she had the memories of her first life, changed by the time travel she had done, and the House of M memories. Only the version of her that had known all three was fading and shifting to this world. At least here she was with Oliver and she wouldn't lose him. Her heart ached at the very idea of that and she wrapped her arm around him.

---

---

---

---

Matt was confused again. It seemed as if Flynn had gone the way of Amelia. Would it get better if they separated them? Would their Amelia, currently believing she belonged to this world, even go with them? "We should see if separating the counterparts gets memories back." He said to Cass.

There was a great risk. If enough of their group forgot they'd forget their mission and maybe get stuck here. He did not want that. He knew he and Cass weren't together here as they had already met her counterpart. But why hadn't her memories been replaced? Why hadn't Maria's? Why had only Amelia and Flynn's?

---

---

---

"Then I guess Doom could be anywhere, Latveria is a country in our reality that Doom rules over." Cassandra said to Aero and Amelia, she wasn't surprised that the country didn't exist here, there were a lot of changes here after all to. She looked at the rest of her team as well as the Avenger's group of this world, both of them weren't in any shape to fight at the moment as she looked towards Matt, maybe it'll at least help with Amelia's memories if she was separated from Aero. "I don't know, maybe it'll work." Cassandra said sighing slightly as she stared at Flynn seeing that he had been flipped to this reality's version of him as well to which wasn't a good thing at all really.

"We'll go with you to Genosha, and we won't attack unless we have to defend ourselves." Cassandra said as she looked towards the rest of her team hopping that they'd agree with it. She knew for sure that Amelia was going to be really difficult to take her to Genosha seeing that Amelia clearly didn't like this reality's version of the X-Men at all. "We need to have our people treated to if you are able to help us with that." Cass told them, she hoped that this group of the X-Men would keep their word and not attack as well as the citizens of Genosha.

Syphon looked at the two Aero twins and smirked slightly at the two of them, it was kind of entertaining to annoy the two of them, as she looked at the two Firestorms as the two of them argued amongst themselves. "So they aren't clones then lovely, should be interesting to see and interact with myself. And i'm sure Prism would love to see another me around." Syphon said as Maria turned her attention towards her counterpart which still felt really weird seeing a version of her right in front of her. "I don't think Novi would like me staring at another version of her from a different reality." Maria said mainly to herself crossing her arms over her chest.

Syphon turned to Bonnie asking if they would be safe if they came with them and shrugged slightly. "I mean we can deal with anyone who gives you the stink eye, so long as the rest of you behave and don't do anything stupid there then you should be fine." Syphon told Bonnie, as Maria looked over at everyone else, thinking that she could trust her counterpart. "I think she's right as long as we don't attack anyone in Genosha we'll be fine." Maria said, she didn't like the fact that her counterpart was completely fine with attacking and hurting civilians and innocent people in terror attacks but they did what they did in order to protect their people.

"Ok, so maybe not the best group or whatever to be around, great," she ended up muttering. Of course, she wasn't entirely sure what to expect with this since she knew from the wanted posters while in the Iron, that they weren't exactly a great group to be around. And based on how they ended up being attacked while in the Blue, it was a bit obvious that it wasn't just them who thought that the X-Men weren't a good group to be around. That led to more questions in her head about everything.

Of course, right now didn't seem like a good time to really ask more questions, as everyone was going on about seemingly going to Genosha or something like that. Well, who knew how that was going to go with this group, and personally, she wasn't entirely too sure how the people in Genosha would react to their group. Since not everyone in the group was a mutant obviously, and from what she's gathered so far, that might not end well while there. Then again, she had no idea what to do or say with regards to it, they were their best bet to get help for everyone else.

---

"Why do you sound a little annoyed at us thinking there are clones involved? Everyone does cloning practically, it's a fairly common thing. And it is usually a better explanation then some weird alternate reality mumbo jumbo" Flynn commented towards Niah, rolling his eyes more then a little bit at this point. He had no idea why he was there, how he ended up with badly broken legs or anything like that. Not to mention what the hell was going on with the other him that was with his team.

"Yeah, what he said," Firestorm ended up saying with a shrug, before looking towards Raynor again. "Eh, alright, pretty sure he hasn't really changed in 20 something years, so could be worse."

"As for the whole being safe once we get to Genosha, shouldn't be a problem, as long as you don't cause trouble," he ended up saying to answer Bonnie's question. Even though she had been talking to the other him really, he answered the question more or less anyway. There wasn't much else to do with regards to answering that question. Aside from Manifold getting them out of there.

"It should be fine, don't cause trouble. There are quite a few non-mutants in Genosha, though they still are outnumbered by a lot. So don't worry about it too much," Firestorm added, also more or less answering Bonnie's question. "Since we're all going to be spending a little time together while we see about sorting out this mess, might as well let you know who you're going to be with. I'm Firestorm-- he started to say, before being cut off by Flynn.

"No, liar, I'm Firestorm, not sure why you think that you're me."

"Nope, I am.

"No you aren't."

"Yes I am!"

"No you-- you know what? This argument is getting stupid."

"You think?"

"How about we agree to disagree for now and move on."

"Fine with me."

"Aaaaanyway," he continued, before waving his hand towards Maria's counterpart, "This is Siphon, and the girl who you can see the brain of is Cerebella, she's a telepath."

"The one with all of the eyes, is obviously the one named Eye-Boy who basically can see just about anything, and you all have already been introduced to Wolverine." Flynn interjected, deciding to add in.

"Right... Anyway, big metal guy is Colossus, Nightcrawler is the one whose blue and does short ranged teleporting mainly, and Manifold is for more long ranged sort of teleporting, like jumping continents and all," it was a pretty simplified version of everyone's powers and abilities, made life easier. He then looked at Manifold before talking again. "Alright, I'd say let's just bring the entire group since we need to sort everything out about whatever the hell is going on anyway. And we probably should aim for the medical facility, since looks like this group really needs it."

Oliver learned into Niah, and shrugged. "Clones are more likely." He said simply. If he was in their position, "Doppelgangers from another universe" would be pretty far down on the list of reasonable explanations for any of this, and he'd be very unlikely to even consider it when they lived in a world of clones and shape shifters and magic and aliens. There was too much to rule out, so he wasn't particularly frustrated at their current situation.

Oli did give a sort of quizzicle look at the thought of the womanhood of this universe's Wolverine, if only because it was a fundamental departure from their universe's variant. He wasn't about to say anything though, if there was one thing Oli seemed to learn, it was that he should keep his mouth shut and not act in precarious situations, and with a piece of wood nestled comfortable in his abdomen, he wasn't by any means out of the woods yet.

Angel's Aerie

Wolverine's claws shot out - two for each hand, rather than three - in warning. "What's your problem with clones?" she asked, looking directly at Niah. To those paying attention, something would then click into place - Raynor had mentioned that Wolverine had been on the team back when he ran things, and he hadn't recognized this girl as Wolverine, despite her using the mantle. From her reaction, it wouldn't be hard to guess that she was a female clone of the original Wolverine. Wolverine's eyes narrowed at Niah's comment of her gender being strange. "So what if I'm a girl?" she then added. She did not like Niah - not one bit.

"A - a mutant psychic might be able to help, perhaps by putting up some sort of mental partitions," Bonnie said, even as her stomach filled with a strange mixture of fear and hatred at the thought of a mutant messing around with her mind. She knew that those feelings weren't really hers - that they belonged to the Bonnie of this world - but it didn't make them feel any less real. For a brief second, she wished she could hear that strange ethereal voice in her head - surely a goddess would have the power to do what a god (i.e., Raynor) could not. "But until we figure out the mechanism that this is happening by, I don't know what can be done..."

Bonnie trailed off, frowning for a moment as she thought. It would have been easier with a whiteboard to write everything down on. Cass hadn't been replaced by her counterpart despite going face to face with her earlier. Amelia and Flynn had been overwritten upon meeting theirs. Everyone in the group except for Sparky and Raynor were experiencing memory bleed and replacement. They were the only two without counterparts, the ones native to this world - the why had to be that for whatever reason, those not native to this reality were being overwritten. The how still eluded her; and she didn't know why nothing like this had happened to Raynor and Sparky back on Earth-666.

"You're not taking us to Genosha," Amelia said. "We're staying here, in the Blue." "Only bad guys would drag us back against our will," "so if you do that, then you're just proving yourself as the villains we thought you were." "Plus we aren't nearly dumb enough to go to Genosha with a group of strangers to have someone mess with our heads," "Not that we're dumb," "Not at all. And if one of us is from another world," "it's her," "no, it's her!"

"That one's our Amelia," Raynor said, pointing at their Amelia. "No one change their clothes, please," he then added. The more counterparts they ran into, the harder it was going to be to tell people apart. Hopefully the next counterpart they met would look clearly different - like an entirely different person or at least a drastically different haircut or something.

Manifold shrugged - he didn't really care what these people wanted, it all seemed confusing and honestly not something he wanted to worry about. Someone else could sort out what was going on here - he wasn't interested in figuring it out himself. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, speaking to the universe and asking it for a favor -

And suddenly, space-time distorted and everyone vanished.

---

The Healing Gardens -

Raynor recognized where they were instantly. It was a secluded garden of sorts, with mossy platforms like operating tables dotted around in various locations. He didn't recognize the woman with dreadlocks in a blue jumpsuit who stood at what looked like a holographic console, similar to what would be found in Star Wars, but made out of plants rather than metal. Back in his day, the Healing Gardens had been run by Miss Sinister.

"Doctor Reyes, do you mind?" Nightcrawler asked, BAMF-ing to appear on a tree branch, his tail curled around it to keep him hanging there. "Our new friends are a bit roughed up."

Cecilia raised an eyebrow, seeing a few duplicates in the group. "I'm on it," she said, before looking at Cerebella. "Can you fetch Sage and Prodigy for me? I'll need some extra pairs of hands," she requested. "The rest of you, get them onto tables for me, please." She then instantly went up to Flynn, as he was one of the most visibly injured with his broken legs.

"Anyone who isn't wounded needs to leave," Reyes then added. "Now."

---

---

---

---

"There is nothing wrong with clones. Just that we aren't. And I don't care if you're a woman or not." Niah shrugged. Unconcerned with the threat of Wolverine's claws. She seemed more tired then scared. Most of her response was directed at Wolverine though. She did then glance at Flynn and said, "It is more it is getting old being called that."

Niah chewed over the thought of having a psychic fiddle with her memories and wondered what sort of nonsense that would do to her brain. It was pretty scrambled and had taken a while to get her memories sorted between the different worlds. That probably would have been easier with the help of a psychic. She looked at Maria when she mentioned that Prism was this world's Novi. If anyone could go 'ah yeah these guys are from another universe' it'd be her. That was reassuring actually. And she looked forward to meeting her.

Then they were teleported away to yet another location. Niah didn't look around too much. She was too focused on Oliver. She was torn when they were told that those who were uninjured should leave. That would mean leaving Oliver. Something she did not want to do. She spent a moment pulling at the thought. Was it her own? Or was it her counterparts? "Oli, will you be okay?" She asked. She knew the answer she wanted.

"I'll be okay, but I'd rather you stay with me. I know it's selfish, but I love you and I don't want to be alone through this." Niah gave him a small smile in return and nodded. Refusing to leave.

---

Matt chooses to keep his mouth shut. Sometimes that really is the best course of action. He wasn't fond of the idea of being taken to Genosha. At least here there wasn't the innate hatred for Inhumans that the Mutants had back home. There were good reasons, but it didn't mean it was right.

When they were teleported away he was a little irritated. But was stunned by the beauty of the place. He wondered if there was a place like this on their world Genosha. If so, how had either been created? It looked primordial.

He was injured so he stayed. Waiting to see what happened. His injury wasn't bad at least. Flynn was obviously the one who should be cared for first. He glanced at Bonnie and wondered if she would allow herself to be examined.

---

---

---

---

Cassandra turned to look at her Amelia and sighed slightly a little bit annoyed that she was refusing to leave. "You have to come with us, you aren't from here." She told her, as she looked towards Firestorm as he started to introduce some of the members of this reality's version of the X-Men, and nodded slightly. She really didn't trust any of them except for those who were from her reality, and hearing that they'd be willing to commit genocide didn't really sit well with her. Cassandra looked towards Bonnie and suggesting that they'd get a telepath to try and put up some sort of warding to prevent their memories from bleeding into this reality's version of them and nodded.

Cass stared at Wolverine and Niah and sighed slightly. "We aren't here to argue and just need some help." Cassandra told Wolverine as Manifold suddenly teleported them all to Genosha. She looked around the room seeing it looked completely different from a regular hospital than anything it looked like something from a weird fantasy novel. A woman stood at one of the tables and assumed that she was a doctor here, she was slightly injured with a concussion and some bruising. "I should be fine, I just have a concussion and some bruising, nothing to serious I don't think." She told her, Cassandra looked at Bonnie for a moment.

She knew that Bonnie was pregnant and after literally dying she wasn't going to mention it as she whispered to her seeing her friend was visibly uncomfortable here. "It's up to you since you are pregnant and almost dying to at least get looked at. If you don't want to i'll be outside." She told her, she wasn't going to force Bonnie to do something she didn't want to do she looked at Matt. "Are you alright?" She asked him.

---

---

---

---

"I think you should calm down a little bit you are being a bit rude to our guest." Siphon said to Wolverine seeing her displaying her claws out towards Niah seeing that she clearly didn't like her one bit and turned to look at Niah. "She's a little bit quick tempered just saying and be careful." Siphon told her as Firestorm introduced the rest of the X-Men to the group and waved slightly towards them and turned to Amelia and Aero. "Hey we aren't the villains at all far from it." Siphon told the two of them giving a slightly annoyed look at being called a villain before turning to look at the two Firestorms shaking her head slightly. "I kind of already said that." Siphon told the two of them rolling her eyes slightly as the two of them were arguing like a married couple.

Maria looked at Amelia and Aero and then at her counterpart sighing slightly and spoke. "I don't condone what they do, but what they do is in protection of mutants." Maria said feeling slightly weird defending them for what they did to the Iron, as Manifold teleported them all over to Genosha, she looked around seeing the area was weird since her counterpart has come here from time to time. Maria looked down at herself seeing the hole in her clothes where she had been impaled luckily her healing factor saved her from dying when she pulled it out.

"I'm good and I don't need any medical attention." Maria said as she looked towards her counterpart and waved her and those who weren't injured out of the room, Maria looked at those who were injured before heading outside just standing outside of the door.

Oliver shocked himself at the level of honesty and directness he showed there. He just wanted more than anything to be alongside somebody that he knew cared about him in the moment, and that was what he was gonna seek out. The idea of Niah leaving, and him somehow not making it hurt him more than anything he'd ever experienced. He didn't ever want that to come to pass, he didn't want her to feel guilty for a death she'd tell herself she could have prevented. Oliver loved Niah, in a way that he hadn't completely realized until now, she was somebody he wanted to live with, not just exist with.

Then, the world folded in on itself, and Oli's stomach turned. The physics that this entire new paradigm introduced was starting to make his head spin, and a part of him honestly hoped that the things that were possible in this universe were somehow physical impossibilities in their own. He had no idea how spontaneous travel worked, but he knew that every explanation he could come up with at this particular moment; mortally wounded, lovestruck, and trying not to dissociate into the mind of a murderous psychopath was insufficient and would just make him look dumb if he tried to guess.

---

---

She didn't know if it was a good thing that people were trying to reassure them that nothing bad would happen to them or not. They'd done pretty bad things from what was mentioned or something like that, but still, they weren't entirely sure what was going on with everyone who was running into their counterparts. Bonnie had the idea of a telepath putting up a mental wall or something like that to stop the memories from overflowing and taking over. Though she wasn't sure how long even that would last considering how everything else seemed to be going for everyone with that. It was a bit weird wondering how that sort of thing was happening really.

There wasn't much time to consider how that sort of thing was going to work out though at the moment, as reality folded around them, and they found themselves in some strange garden looking place. Honestly she wasn't too sure where they were, but based on the previous conversation, it was probably Genosha. A woman came up and was talking about helping to heal those injured, and everyone else who wasn't injured was supposed to leave. Somehow she had lucked out and hadn't gotten injured. "Well, see you in a little bit then..." she commented, before heading for what seemed to likely be the exit to the area, unsure of where else to really go.

---

---

"You aren't really helping," Flynn said with a bit of an eye roll towards Siphon. Especially considering yes, Wolverine had a quick temper, but pointing it out randomly and then saying that she should calm down was likely the worse thing to really do. "And Siphon, you should not be saying stuff like that out loud anyway, think it maybe, but maybe not when she's literally sitting there next to you." Yeah, who would ever even think to say that sort of thing anyway.

"We aren't the bad guys here, actually we're just going to see about helping you out. And from the perspective of others, you all could be the villains here. Who knows?" Firestorm ended up saying to the Amelia pair, as Manifold decided to now listen and transport them to the healing gardens. "Hey there doc," he said with a wave towards Dr. Reyes.

Flynn was glad to end up in the healing gardens, since that meant that they could see about dealing with fixing his broken legs, which he still wasn't sure how that had happened at the moment really. He did see about trying to get on the table himself, however pain shot through his legs, making that incredibly difficult. "Damn it that hurt..." he muttered under his breath, a bit annoyed as the pain shot through him at the moment.

"Hold it," Firestorm responded, before he ended up going over and more or less helping Flynn onto the table himself, since that was what Dr. Reyes had requested them doing anyway. He then walked over to Oliver, more or less nudged Niah out of the way, before he picked him up and put him onto one of the other tables. Then, he turned to look at Niah a little annoyed. "Either you leave this room willingly since you don't need healing, or I will have Wolverine drag you out kicking and screaming. If you actually care about anyone whose injured, you listen to those trying to help, and you would get in the way, and probably make things worse. So you have one chance right now. Leave!" It was clear that he was not joking around. His eyes were literally just balls of fire, and he had his arms crossed, staring at her, and waiting to hear what her choice was going to be.

---

The Healing Gardens -

"Thank you, Firestorm, for being helpful," Dr. Reyes said pointedly. The Amelias had picked up the unconscious Avengers and gotten them onto tables, and Firestorm had handled both Flynn and Oliver. No one else had moved a muscle to help, something that rather irked the doctor. She didn't like people hanging around in the Healing Gardens and making it difficult for her to work; and she especially didn't like it when they refused to do the one task she had requested of her. "If you drag her out, Wolverine, please be quick and quiet about it - a lot of these people are in bad shape."

Cerebella had left the Healing Garden already at a run, having went off to fetch the people Dr. Reyes had requested - Sage and Prodigy. The other X-Men left as well, going into the Waiting Grove - a natural clearing of sorts outside the tree and plant canopies that sealed off the Healing Gardens.

Bonnie hesitated for a moment, before sitting on a table herself. "I'm pregnant and I died," Bonnie said, when Dr. Reyes looked in her direction - her injuries, if any, were not visible.

"Noted," Reyes said. Reyes held out her right hand, and closed her eyes for a moment. There was a slight shimmering golden light that enveloped Bonnie, shrinking and shrinking until it seemed to go inside of her. Then, Reyes opened her eyes again, the light vanished. "Your baby girl is healthy and strong. I don't feel any internal injuries on you either."

"... Thank you," Bonnie said, her eyes watering for a moment. It had felt so odd - whatever Dr. Reyes' power was, it was like there had been a tiny bit of warm pressure inside of her body, gentle yet firm. Knowing that her child was safe and healthy was a relief, even if it wasn't something that Flynn could share with her right now - and perhaps never again. She had been widowed before; it wasn't the first time she had lost the man she loved. But it was even more than knowing that her child was safe - she hadn't known her child's assigned gender until that moment. They were having a girl - a baby girl - a daughter.

Bonnie hopped off of the table, staring at Flynn for a moment, as if willing some shred of recognition from him; but then she sighed and left the Healing Gardens, entering the Waiting Grove.

Dr. Reyes then turned to her remaining patients, quickly diagnosing the obvious issues; Matt was visibly bleeding from his forehead, Flynn had two broken legs, and Oliver had a gigantic wound in his chest with a still partially impaled object. "Stay still," Reyes told Oliver, pulling a vial out of her pocket, and then loading it into a fresh syringe. She injected him with the dark scarlet substance, and then closed her eyes. Holding her left hand out, a warm glowing bubble seemed to envelope the stick. With her right hand, Reyes then yanked the stick out, letting it fall onto the ground at her feet. The yellow bubble stayed in place, acting as a dam of pressure, preventing traumatic blood loss and further damage. And miraculously, Oliver's skin began to knit back together; whatever Reyes had injected him with was working like magic. Within moments, his wound had closed; the yellow bubble vanished. Oliver would feel incredibly sore, but thoroughly alive.

Reyes then walked over to Matt, and took a syringe with an oddly green paste in it. "This'll sting," she warned him, before placing a thin layer of the green paste along his wounds. It would be a cool burning sensation, but just like how Oliver's wounds had knit themselves back together, Matt's wounds would begin to seal and heal.

She then went to her last conscious patient - Flynn. Reyes stared at him for a moment, as if debating something. "I need to give you something for the pain," she said. She pulled a purple vial out, loaded her syringe with it, and injected Flynn with it. Instantly, his entire body would feel numb; mentally, it would have the side effect of making him a bit loopy and deliriously giggly. "Stay still," Reyes said, holding out both hands above Flynn. Tiny little yellow bubbles appeared, before disappearing inside of his legs - and then suddenly, the bones were popped back into place. While broken, they were at least set. Reyes then injected him with another vial of the same dark red liquid she had used on Oliver, and his bones began to knit themselves back together. "No walking for at least an hour," she warned him.

"Same goes for you - no movement for an hour," she said, looking at Oliver. "Wolverine's blood is powerful, but your bodies are still weak."

The Waiting Grove -

The X-Men, minus Wolverine and Firestorm, and plus Destiny, Rogue, Mystique, Folly, and Gambit, had more or less made their own little group in the Waiting Grove, sitting on some natural stone benches. They were discussing amongst themselves their strange visitors; most of all the return of Ragnarok, the once leader of the X-Men whom most of them had believed to be dead. Eye-Boy kept having a few eyes glancing over at the group of reality refugees; unnervingly, his eyes didn't all move in unison.

On the other set of stone benches, the Secret Warriors (and Aero) were more or less gathered. "Eye-Boy is staring at us," Raynor said with a sigh. He was standing, his back turned to the X-Men. It was weird to him to see that group. He had almost grown used to the X-Men of Earth-666, a group of spunky kids following Xavier's dream of assimilation. It was weird to see the X-Men of his home reality again, a covert black ops group working for the Genoshan government. It was weirder still to realize that Flynn was the pudgy little kid who used to follow him around; Magneto's kid.

"I can't look at him without feeling like I'm about to puke," Darcy admitted, wringing her hands nervously. "Is it just me or is it suuuper hot here? Like, feels like I'm boiling? No? Just me? Yay," Darcy rambled. She had never been to Genosha before and while Firestorm had mentioned some humans lived here, Darcy had grown up in the country the X-Men had committed genocide in. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and scared around them.

"Nah mate, it's fucking frigid," Amelia complained, rubbing her shoulders. Aero was making practically an identical motion. "Don't s'pose any of you all have the power to make a decent coat appear, huh?" Aero asked, shaking her head. It was late at night in November here; of course it was freezing. And while Aero was wearing a superhero costume, it was built to be lightweight and easy to move in; and not necessarily something that was going to keep someone warm outside in winter for long periods of time.

"Do you know if they still have Cerebro in this world?" Bonnie asked, her mind as always on the mission. It was easier to think about finding Doom and Luminous than it was to consider the possibility her fiancé was lost forever. "Telepaths could solve both our problems - partition our minds and find the fugitives," Bonnie reasoned.

"Far as I know, Chuck never takes the stupid helmet off," Raynor explained. "Assuming Doom and Lumy didn't do any anti-telepathy spells, I think that would work," Raynor said, before looking over his shoulder at the X-Men again. Destiny was staring at them all behind her gold mask. Her stare sent a chill down his spine.

Cassandra looked towards Matt for a moment she didn't really want to leave him, but then again she didn't want to piss off their hosts either while the others were being put up onto examination tables. "I'll be outside, if anything feels off or things go bad yell alright?" Cassandra told him as she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, Cass watched as Bonnie was examined by the doctor and was glad that her friend was alright which made her happy. "Niah c'mon you should come we'll be right outside in case things go bad." She told Niah hoping that she'd be willing to listen, as much as she hated leaving the rest of her team separated for now. So far the x-men hadn't done anything hostile towards them, and started to make her way out of the healing gardens and into the waiting gardens now. She walked over to where the others and sat down.

Cassandra turned to face Bonnie gently wrapping an arm over her shoulder to try and comfort her, maybe there was a way to try and help Flynn and Amelia. "Maybe there is a way we can try and fix Flynn and Amelia." Cassandra told Bonnie, she was a little bit out of her element right now, maybe Xavier could fix them. "I'm sure that we can get a meeting with him then right?" Cassandra asked looking over towards the X-Men who were all sitting in a group just of them. Both Eye Boy and Destiny were both staring at them all which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

Cassandra turned to look at both Amelia and Aero for a moment as the two of them complained about it being to cold, while Darcy was warm. "I can try, though I don't think it's that bad, unless you really want me to." Cassandra told the two of them though she didn't think that was a good idea really with the X-Men close by right now.

Syphon looked at both Firestorm and Flynn and rolled her eyes slightly at the two of them and pointed towards Flynn. "You can't tell me what to do, only this hothead here does." Syphon said as she gestured towards Firestorm and then poked him on the shoulder and glared at him. "Obviously the two of them are lovers, they aren't hurting anyone right now honestly." She told him as she gestured to Oliver and Niah as she headed out and met with the other X-Men, as she stared at the Secret Warriors who all were sitting amongst themselves, and talked. She took a seat and stared at Destiny and Eye Boy who were staring intently at the other group. "So, what are you two seeing from them right now anyway?" Syphon decided to ask them mainly out of curiosity right now about their new guests.

Maria followed the others and joined her team and stared at her counterpart who was sitting with this universe's X-Men, she noticed that Eye Boy and Destiny were staring at them which made her feel a bit uncomfortable right now. She leaned back slightly as she listened to the others as they spoke finding Luminous and Doom were their priority and getting back home as soon as possible, her mind wasn't taken over by her counterparts yet unlike Flynn and Amelia's were right now. "The sooner we find them the better and the sooner we can get back home." Maria said softly.

Niah did not want to leave Oliver's side. And he didn't want her to leave either. But with the threat of Wolverine dragging her out of the room hanging over her head. And with Cass telling her to leave. She sighed. Niah placed her hand gently on Oliver. "I'll come if you call." She said seriously.

Leaving the grove to the waiting grove, Niah joined the others. She paced. Unhappy about parting with Oliver. But she didn't particularly want to be the cause of an incident. As she paced, she thought about what needed to be done. They needed to figure out how to help their friends that had their brains re-written. They needed to find Luminos and Doom. Then get home. It would be ideal to do it in that order.

Matt smiled as Cass kissed his cheek. He nodded. If something weird happened, he'd call. Though, being injected with Wolverine blood might be something weird. It was necessary, though. Considering how badly injured Oliver and Flynn were.

The goop did sting, but it was cool. He hadn't been given the order to stay put like the others. He looked over at Oliver and Flynn. Not entirely wanting to leave them alone. Would they keep Niah from Oliver for an hour? She had not been pleased about parting with him. He doubted she'd put up with it for too long. There was also that part of Matt that knew Oliver was guilty of crimes. Could he trust him without someone supervising?

As such, he decided to stick around and, if needed, would help out. But it was mostly to keep an eye on Oliver, and he supposed the discombobulated Flynn.

b][/b]
Oliver watched with a deep scientific curiosity at his own healing, before his human nature overtook him and he realized that watching his body knit itself back together was actually rather disgusting. He wished this hadn't happen in the first place, but as the soreness set on his newly together skin, he ran a hand over it, and breathed a sigh of relief. If he was never impaled again, it would be too soon. He grimaced at the notion of having to stay still for so long, but he would do it, he really didn't want anymore internal bleeding, after all.

Olive nodded weakly at Niah, and smiled. Now that he was at least not in immediate danger of dying, he was fine with her going off and keeping the rest of the team safe. He didn't wanna keep her around if he was just gonna be sore and useless for a bit. He just kind of sat there, not looking forward to having the spend the next bit of time relatively immobile, but given the amount of running around and work he'd done today, he was fine letting the rest of his team take it from here. Sinking into where he was, he rubbed where his wound once was, and and let out a breath.

Firestorm sort of shot another glare at people leaving, before looking at Wolverine, "Let's get out of here and let the doc be," he commented, before heading out of the area entirely now.

Flynn was not sure what the hell was going on still, however it was a nice thing for Reyes to do something about his broken legs, since those were getting annoying, and were really painful. He knew what the idea was on how the healing worked, even if the others who were now currently with him didn't. He still wasn't sure what the hell was up with the other him, or how they both seemed to know about Genosha or whatever. The clone idea was still something that crossed his mind, but he didn't say that out loud again based on others reactions to that sort of thing.

Right now though, he wasn't sure what to do, as Reyes gave him something for the pain, since truthfully it was getting a bit painful. Though now his brain was going a bit haywire from the meds, and going a bit loopy. Reyes said that he shouldn't walk around or move for a while, but that sounded so boring! "Whyyyyy sit around though? It's boring in here if you ask me," he ended up saying, though it was a bit obvious that he was a bit high out of his mind though.

"It feels like a lot of people have been staring at us in some way ever since we ended up in this reality, so honestly getting a bit used to it..." she responded towards Raynor making the comment about Eye-Boy staring at them. Personally, Sparky wasn't too sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, where they were. The place was a bit weird to her in general, and she knew next to nothing about the world that they were in, aside from a few sort of simple things really that had been mentioned to them. Which wasn't a whole lot.

This place was just insanely weird to her, but she sort of still wanted to talk to Raynor when they had the time. That was the problem wasn't it? There didn't seem to be any time, at least where they could talk away from the others. A part of her did wonder what the X-Men group were talking about, or what all was going through their heads. It probably was a bit weird for them considering it had been years since Raynor was around. It also wasn't really obvious if they actually fully believed them about the whole alternate reality thing. Her attention turned towards them talking about a telepath maybe being able to help, and she just sort of nodded her head in agreement.

Firestorm ended up walking towards the X-Men group now in the area, and he was sort of glaring at Siphon at this point. "You really need to get your head checked considering the doc said no one who wasn't injured to leave. I was only obliging, not to mention you didn't seem to actually do anything Reyes said, aside from leave the room, to be helpful, so you shut up and don't chastise me for that sort of thing. Oh wait, that's right, you basically sat around doing nothing, seriously you try to do that sort of thing again, and there will be issues."

The Healing Gardens -

"Got you some help, doc," Cerebella said, coming in from the opposite way the others had left. With her were three people - Sage, a woman in a bright yellow coat with tinted shades, Prodigy, a sharp looking Black man with tinted yellow shades and a yellow coat of a different shade than Sage's, and Dr. Banner, a shockingly youthful looking man who seemed to be in his early 30s at most.

"Thank you, Cerebella," Dr. Reyes said. "Not to make you a messenger pigeon, but if you could go find Charles next, I suspect he'll want to be here."

"No worries!" Cerebella then ran off the way she came.

"Rough night," Sage mused, as she got to work on some of the unconscious Avengers.

"What happened here?" Banner asked, helping out as well. He glanced over at Flynn, recognizing him as just Firestorm. He didn't recognize Oliver or Matt though. "Are you two new to the island? I'm Doctor Banner - but you can call me Bob," he said, holding out a hand to either of them.

"You're kicking off some mad psychic feedback," Prodigy noted, staring at Flynn with his head tilted. "What did happen exactly?"

The Waiting Grove -

"Oh, I am seeing many things, child," Destiny said. She considered her words carefully. Knowledge of the future could be dangerous, tending to create self-fulfilling prophecies. In her experience, there wasn't just one future - there were many, with some common events but often varying and spinning out of focus in a chaotic spiral. "They are nearing their end. What happens will break them apart, triumph or fail, it will not change. Their group will be forever fractured, their bond never the same again."

"Uh... I'm not seeing anything nearly as ominous as that," Eye-Boy said, laughing awkwardly. "There's this... this red stuff though that's sticking to them, it almost looks like magic - and it's extra bad on those two," Eye-Boy said, pointing at the Maria and Amelia from Earth 666.

"Do you think they are cursed then, comrade?" Colossus asked Eye-Boy.

"I... have no idea. This is kinda above my pay grade," Eye-Boy said, falling silent as Firestorm and Wolverine came back on over.

"If it's magic, we can deal with that, non?" Gambit reasoned. "We have to have someone on this island who can handle magic?"



Bonnie nodded slightly at Cass' words - she had to believe that there was a way to fix Flynn and Amelia, to bring them back to them. She couldn't give up hope that they could help their friends, especially as it seemed more likely by the minute that one by one, it would happen to the rest of them as well. Her mind flickered briefly towards thoughts of their home reality - had Fury or Hill sent anyone else after them? Was anyone else looking into that anomaly at the Raft? Would SHIELD go to the Avengers or the Fantastic Four or someone for help?

Bitterly, an answer flashed into Bonnie's mind - no. She didn't believe that Fury or Hill would go for outside help unless absolutely forced to. SHIELD's relationship with superheroing groups was fragile at best these days - the time when Fury could control them was long gone. He had tried it with the Avengers, he had tried it with the X-Men, and it never stuck. The only superheroes he had at his beck and call were the Secret Warriors...

They would have to save themselves.

"You can make coats appear?" Aero asked, a bit surprised. "That's such an oddly specific power - can you make other things appear, like bags?" Amelia then added. Neither of them knew what Cass' full powerset was, thanks to Amelia losing her memories. And as Aero had asked if someone could make a coat appear, and Cass offered to do so, it was logical for them to assume that Cass had some form of power that involved summoning coats.

"Sooo... Are we going to go find this Chuck person, then?" Darcy asked.

"I doubt it'll take him too long to just come and find us," Raynor said. "Chuck is too nosy for his own good. Could never just let people exist on the island, had to make sure they were following his rules. If I had to guess, he's getting wheeled over here by Erik as we speak," Raynor finished. He didn't really know how he felt about seeing Magneto and Professor X again in this reality. He had thought he'd never see these versions of them again when he had left - he thought he had left this entire place behind - and now, he was parading these people through a nightmare of his own making.

"He's a psychic, he must be able to hear us thinking, so..." Bonnie got a slightly wicked smile on her face. "If I am possessed by the goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom, well... She's a goddess of thought then," Bonnie explained. She shut her eyes and whispered to herself. Athena, please, if you can, boost this....

CHARLES XAVIER WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!

"...Did it work?" Darcy asked.

Then, in all of their minds, they would hear an echoing voice - the voice of Charles Xavier -

"Wait. I'm coming."

Cassandra looked between Aero and Amelia asking if she could summon up coats for them and shook her head slightly. "No, not that kind of power, I can kind of control the seasons around me, or at least simulate it kind of. Similar to what I did during the fight with the guy who can change costumes or whatever his name is that is with you guys. So I could make it warmer or colder basically if you wanted." Cassandra told the two of them, of course their Amelia would know that but she was currently replaced by this realities version of Amelia, which she hoped wasn't a permeant thing.

She turned to look back at the X-Men group as Firestorm started to argue with Siphon, which was kind of entertaining to see the two of them bickering amongst each other. Cassandra turned to look up at Raynor she wasn't really sure to expect from this realities version of Professor X or Magneto really. "So what can we expect from this realities version of Magneto and Professor X?" Cassandra ended up asking Raynor since he worked with them, she wasnt sure if they would be willing to help them for free or if there was some kind of twist if they asked for help from them. Cassandra then paused as she suddenly was able to hear Professor X's voice in her head which she still always felt was really weird in her opinion.

Siphon turned to glare at Firestorm and crossed her arms over her chest giving a slightly annoyed huff crossing her arms over her chest. "Sorry, next time i'll be sure to help out more next time no need to get your panties all tied up in a bunch." She said to Firestorm as she leaned back slightly as she looked back over towards the Secret Warriors as they continued to talk amongst themselves as well to. She listened to Destiny as she started to mention what she was seeing from them, it was one of the few powers that she didn't actually want to have. She didn't want to actually see her or anyone elses future and usually preferred to stay in the present Eyeboy brought up the whole red aura thing around both Amelia and her counterpart was heavy on the two of them the most. "Well that sounds pretty ominous for them all. Also i'm sure there are a lot of magic users on the island that could check them out if it is magic related that is." Siphon told Gambit.

Maria shifted slightly as she stared at her counterpart and the X-Men feeling slightly uncomfortable being stared at as she turned to face the rest of their group. "At least they haven't attacked us like the rest of the groups we have encountered so far." Maria said as she ran a hand through her hair slightly, Bonnie decided to try something and then she paused as she was able to hear Professor X's voice in her head. "Well whatever you did that did get his attention actually." Maria said to Bonnie hopefully he would be able to do something about their memories and whatnot and get that fixed.

Niah paced. She didn't know how long she'd have to wait until her and Oliver could be reunited. She did know that a good portion of her irritation at being separated from him was not totally her own feelings. It was this version. At least for her if her or Oliver's memories got fiddled with as much s Flynn and Amelia had she'd remember Oliver. Maybe not the others. But she'd remember him. She clung to that like a life raft. That and the fact that her alternate lives were still there intact. She'd remember everything up to the re-write of history and also the House of M stuff. Now that would be really messy. Why did her brain have to be so messy?

She listened to the conversation of the others. Not joining. Though she wasn't totally excited about Charles Xavier showing up. And who knew which part of her was upset about that. She had spent so much time dissecting her memories and putting the pieces into place and now it was jumbled again. She looked to Raynor, waiting for his answer to Cass' question. She wasn't certain what to think of the fact that Xavier and Magneto apparently were buddy-buddy here.

"We aren't just new to the island. We're new to this world. We are actually from a completely different reality. Whatever is happening to Flynn and Ameilia is some weird mental thing where the memories of themselves from this world write over their memories from our world. We have to fix it." Matt tried to explain. Not that he totally understood what was going on well enough to give a good explanation. Maybe Oliver could explain it better.

"We came through some sort of... uh portal. I guess. We were investigating two missing prisoners. And it opened and brought us here. We've confirmed that they are in this world, but we need to find them. One of them is a different version of Luminous, but Niah confirmed that the one who was among the group earlier isn't the one we're looking for." He trusted that Niah could do that. She could tell if someone was a Skrull after all.
