[kurtty-drabbles]

Here is a new fic I crafted. A rewrite where horror (cosmical horror) is used.

@djinmer4 you know how I created Zaorva and make Lovecraftian stories for Kurtty...well, don't fix what is broken. Lol. Zaorva is here and so is Kitty. Can the X-Men survive the experience?

Star Wars/X-Men Crossover

“Well, that’s the last of it.”  Logan shut off the holovision.  “Public execution of both Zebastian Shaw and Em’ma Frost.  That’s the end of the Hellfire Club.”

Ororo pushed Xavier’s floatchair in while the Shistavanen continued to grumble under his breath.  “Did they say what happened to the students?” asked Xavier.

“’Rescued’ with no casualties according to the news reports.  Pretty sure they ended up in one of the Sith cults the Emperor’s been promoting.”  Dark eyes watched the last two senior members of the X-Men arrived.  Scott Summers and Aikatarina Prydakios (known as “Kitty” to her friends) had only recently been promoted to cover the losses of Magneto and Mo’ira Mc’Tag’gert, but had stepped up admirably in dealing with the persecution of the Empire.  “The problem is, I’m pretty sure we’re next.”

“Why us?” interjected the red-eyed man.  “Why not the remaining Guard on Jedah?  Or the Brotherhood?”

“Because the Guard on Jedah isn’t made up of Force users.  Some Force sensitives, but even those are the minority.” growled Logan.  “And the Brotherhood has what- maybe a dozen members at a time?  Two dozen?”

Xavier took over at this point, “You think they’re going after influence then?  Not just power?”

Logan shrugged.  “The Jedi were obvious targets for Dark Side hostilities.  But they’re not going after the Guard at Jedah or the Antarean Rangers.  So they’re more interested in Force Users than wiping out the last remnants of the Jedi.  The Hellfire Club was the next obvious target.”

“The Hellfire Club was also made up of Dark Side users.” noted Ororo.

“No honor among thieves then.”  Kitty spoke up for the first time.

“Whoever’s running the show there, that Darth Vader or the Emperor, that person clearly wants to keep an iron grip on the galaxy’s Force Users.”

“But you still haven’t answered my question.”  Scott adjusted the ruby glasses that prevented his own Force abilities from flaring out of control.  “Why us and not one of the other major groups?  The Brotherhood’s members are more powerful than us.  Genosha has more influence and people.”

“The Brotherhood’s members are stronger, but there are a lot fewer of them than us.  We have maybe then times the number of students than they have members.”  Logan opened up the minifridge and cracked open a lomin-ale.  “Genosha’s bigger, but first off, most Genoshians are a lot weaker than we are.  Second, Genosha is firmly pacifist, while everyone knows we’ve been actively opposing Palpatine.  And finallly Genosha’s a planet, not a school like we are.  Even now, the Emperor can’t destroy planets just upon a will, the whole Senate will rise against him and they still have a lot of power.”

“Us though, he can send a squad to sweep us under the rug and no one will give a damn.”

“He’ll want the students as well,” mused Xavier.  “The members of the Brotherhood are all adults, and not everyone on Genosha is suitable to train.  Perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky-”

“How is any of this situation lucky!”

“Lucky, Kitty, lucky in that we got any warning at all.  If the X-Men had been located in the Core Worlds like the Hellfire Club, Darth Vader would probably have gone after us instead.”  The bald man thought for a while, then squared his shoulders.  “Logan’s right.  We’re out of time.  We’ll institute plan Changeling.”

“You think they’re going to stop looking if we just disappear?” snorted Logan.  “Have I got a ship to sell you, Wheels.”

“Logan, I told you, my floatchair was broken that day, please stop using that ridiculous nickname.  And no I don’t think they’ll stop looking, but we do have a way to stall them.”

“And how are you planning that, Professor Xavier?”

“By giving them what they want.” He turned towards his caretaker.  “The only Force Weather Controller currently alive.”  He then shifted his attention to Logan.  “An escaped experimental weapon.”  The professor finally gestured to himself.  “The greatest master of the mind.”

“Professor no!” Kitty dropped to her knees in front of her mentor.  “We still need you-”

“I’m sorry Kitty, but it has to be this way.  I wish we had more time to give you and Scott, but this is the only way to get the students to safety.”

“We have a few days, but by the end of the week, the two of you must take the Blackbird and bring the students to some form of safety.” Ororo held up a hand to stop Scott from talking.  “The three of us won’t turn ourselves in, but we’ll make it look like we’re trying to lose Darth Vader in the more populated Core Worlds.  We’ll buy you as much time as we can.”

“And don’t tell us exactly where you’re going, kids.”  Logan grunted as he skulled the ale.  “They’re probably gonna torture us before execution, so anything we don’t know we can’t reveal.”

Scott stood stock still while Kitty remained on her knees.  There would be more arguments as the week went on.  But deep down they both realized they would have to follow the plan if there was to be any hope at all for the X-Men.

Captain Mitth’kurt’darcolm was in a foul temper.  More and more ships were entering the Chiss Ascendancy from the direction of the Exile’s Folly.  Nothing the Defense Fleet couldn’t handle, but the news these stragglers brought was worrying.  At the going rate the Chiss were going to attract the attention of nations far greater than themselves, and there was even the possibility of the Exile returning.  His next report to the Aristocra was going to include a recommendation for more active reconnaissance of this Republic and that Empire.  The Chiss may not need anything beyond their borders, but that had never meant their neighbors would have the decency to leave them alone.

“Another ship, Captain.”  Commander Anri’Hank’Micoy, Chief Medical Officer and only person who dared to cross the Captain when he was in a bad mood.  “And this one’s nearly as big as the one the Exile had crashed on the Redoubt.”

Kurt drew a deep breath.  Last time this had happened, it had been a disaster.  Yes, the Chiss had learned of the threat of the Republic and managed a crushing blow against the Vagaari, but at the cost of the ship, the demotion of Thrawn, the death of Thrass and the near ruin of the Mitth family.  If these were searchers for that missing ship . . .

“Start broadcasting the trespass warning in Sy Bisti trade language . . . and what Basic that we can.  If they continue, fire across their nose, but do not hit them.  Add the boarding warning as well if that happens.  If they don’t drop their shields, continue moving or if they open fire, only then shall we engage.”

“And if they stop?”

“Unlikely, but prepare a boarding party.  This is an excellent opportunity for acquiring more information about the Republic and the Empire.  And if they fail to heed the warnings . . . an opportunity to learn more about their technology and tactics.”

“’ . . . drop shields and prepare to be boarded.  This message will repeat.  Unknown vessel, you are trespassing on the territory of the Chiss Ascendancy.  Cease-’ And then it just continues to repeat itself.” Douglock turned to Scott Summers.  “What do you want us to do?”

“We’re gonna get turned over to Thrawn,” moaned Kitty.  “Then he’ll turn us over to Vader and it will all be over.”

Scott sighed.  “We don’t have a choice.  If it was just one, I’d risk the fight, but there are too many of them for us to be successful.”  He turned to look over the bridge, his ruby-visor hiding any expression.  “Kitty, you’re with me for the meet-and-greet.  Get two communicators with GPS, they’ll probably realize what they are, but hopefully won’t be offended.  Douglock, you’ll be in our ears translating.  If they kill us or take us off the ship, Angel’s in charge.”

“Yes, sir.”

“We’re refugees.”

“Refugees from what?  The Republic?  The Empire?  You invaders all claim to be fleeing something but never the same thing.”  Kurt was getting frustrated.  The outsiders were being frustratingly vague.  He also had a sneaking suspicion that they were capable of understanding Cheunh, although that should have been impossible.

The man in front continued to do all the speaking.  “The Core Worlds are in a period of upheaval and revolution right now.  What faction people are fleeing from depends on who they sided with originally.  Desperate people run far, so it’s no surprise that you would get refugees from all sides of the conflict.”  He raised his hands, probably a gesture of surrender or helplessness.  “As for us, we’re fleeing everyone.  We have no allies left in the Core Worlds.”

“Ask them what they want.” hissed Hank.  “They may be able to offer a lot, but we need to know what it’s going to cost us first.”  Kurt noticed that the other greeter, the woman in the back twitch.  Had she heard them?

“They want to know what we have to offer them and what we want in return.  At least they don’t think we’re smugglers anymore.”  Douglock whispered in their ears.  Kitty tried to hide a wince.  If they had anything to offer, they wouldn’t have been running away.  Still in for a credit, in for the planet.

“We’re looking for a place of safety for our students.”  For the first time the woman spoke.  She was short, slight and as pale as a corpse.  They both were.  “If that cannot be found here, we will leave your territory as quickly as possible.”

“Let’s say we could offer you safety.  What would your company be able to pay in return?”

She shook her head.  “Safety means more than just a place.  We need assurances that you will not reveal us to any who are searching for us, and that we will be defended in case of attack.”

“You have my word.”

“I don’t know if your word means anything.”  Kurt bit back a reply of how beggars couldn’t be choosers, but couldn’t hid the snarl from his face.  Hank just chuckled.  “She’s got you there.”

“A demonstration of faith then.  Yours is not the first ship colony ship we’ve seen from your worlds.  The last one was involved in a battle with the Vagaari and crashed in the sector known as the Redoubt.  We’ll give you the coordinates and escort you to see her.”

“A colony ship?  Here?”  The man and woman turned away to speak to each other.  Kurt could hear them clearly, but unfortunately it wasn’t a language he knew.  “What was the name of the ship?” asked the woman.

“Outbound Journey”

“Outbound Flight!”  For the first time he could see emotions on their faces.  Surprise, horror, hope, all of those flashed by.  Finally they managed to wrestle their expressions under control.  “Following your lead with the ship would be folly.” the woman stepped up.  He was surprised, he had known she was short before, but not how short.  She barely came up to his shoulder.  “I alone will go and confirm that it is indeed the Outbound Flight.  If that is true, then you and I will negotiate the future of our ship.”

“Very well then.”  He wasn’t sure how seeing a bit of wreckage would help prove his word, but maybe these people would be able to salvage something from it.  The Chiss scientists hadn’t, but these people appeared to have compatible equipment.  “May I have your name then?”

“Aikatarina Prydakios”

“Aiketrine-”  

“Kitty if that’s too hard.”

“Kitty it is then.”  Hank flashed a smile and she took a step back.  “I’m Commander Anri’hank’micoy and this is Captain Mitth’kurt’darcolm.  But I know how difficult it is for humans to pronounce our language, so you can call us Hank and Kurt.”

Favorite Books of the Year

These are not necessarily books that came out this year, just ones that I read in 2021.  There are so many that I loved, I am only going to put down my tippy-top favorites, of all genres, only in order of when I read them.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab

Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine by Olivia Campbell

Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language by Amanda Montell

Cinnamon by Neil Gaiman

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman (I read it twice this year)

Mother’s Milk and I Gave Her a Name by Rachel Hunt Steenblik

I haven’t included rereads, or books in series that I haven’t finished yet.

Honorable Mentions:

These are the books I kept seesawing about whether to include in my favorites list, and then just decided that if I was wavering, they didn’t make the cut. I have to draw the line somewhere. They were really close, though, and so lovely that I couldn’t NOT mention them. Ya know?  

 The Art of Tangled by Jeff Kurtti, John Lasseter, et al. (If anybody knows how I can get prints of Claire Keane’s Rapunzel artwork, please tell me immediately).

Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry

Art Matters by Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell

The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare

The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place by Julie Berry 

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

Nottingham and Lionhearts by Nathan Makaryk 

Favorite Literary Experiences of the Year:

1.      Listening to the Sandman comics on Audible. These are still coming out, so they don’t make the best of 2021, but it’s been like listening to an old timey radio show with a phenomenal cast, sound effects, and a storyline that absorbs you. It is right on the line of being too much for me content-wise, but I love it too much to give it up. I just squirm a lot, and can’t listen to it at night.

2.      Going to the Library of Congress. Holy Hera, talk about bibliophile heaven. A lot of this building was restricted, but what is available is incredible. I spent an hour just reading all the quotes on the ceilings. I also befriended a security guard who let me see the children’s section, which was one of the rooms that wasn’t open to visitors. It was magical.

3.       Going to the New York Public Library. Again, magical. This was another incredible building, but what was really special was the treasure room. It contained P.L. Travers’ parrot umbrella, Charles Dickens’ writing desk, Christopher Robin Milne’s stuffed animals, handwritten drafts of many famous books, several first editions of classics, original illustrations by Arthur Rackham, and so on and so forth. I asked the official-in-charge person if I could hug Winnie the Pooh, but was emphatically denied, more’s the pity.

I may’ve gone a bit overboard with this, but I really like having this kind of thing for my own reference, and this is way better than the little notepad on my phone that I’ve been using for the past few years. If anybody is actually reading this and wants my reviews for any of these books, they are on my Goodreads profile. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/9620538-maura

fic writer tag game

I snatched this from @revasnaslan I don’t write too actively (anymore), mainly because I have been earning my living with writing and then I really don’t want to write on my free time, too :’D But now that I’m earning my living mostly art, I try to counterbalance it with writing more. 

fandoms: If I count ALL the fics, excluding my childhood  fanfic scribbles, I have written to Tekken, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy XV, She-Ra, X-Men, Trollhunters, Soul Calibur, Bleach, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Miraculous Ladybug, Inuyasha and Kuroko no Basket. Though I think my KNB fics are not up anymore but I removed them. I might have forgotten some fandoms, hmmm... 

number of fics: 18 in public. Some older ones are long gone. 

fic i spent the most time on:  The Loveless Prince. I wrote it a year and I still couldn’t finish it the way I wanted, but I had to cut it. 

fic i spent the least time on: Any of the one-shots. Those are nice and I enjoy taking a peek into a world with one-shots as an author. 

longest fic: The Loveless Prince. It is over 450 pages long with 29 chapters and  word count 196,869. It would have been probably another 200 pages longer if I had time for finishing it well.   This Time I Might Disappear is going to be a long fic, too, as the word count is now almost 54 000 and I have no idea how many chapters it still will have until it’s done. I tend to write horribly long fics so that’s one reason I write rarely... 

shortest fic:  Sweet Promise;  Words: 2,281

most hits: The Wingman Visits;  71932

most kudos:  The Wingman Visits;  3202

most comment threads: The Loveless Prince;  2279

most bookmarks:  The Wingman Visits (431) and The Loveless Prince (430) are almost at tie.

total word count:  Is this like all fics combined? If so then it’s 583,824 with the 18 fics. Yes. I counted. And most of the fics aren’t even finished yet, sigh....

favorite fic i wrote:  I really enjoyed working with The Loveless Prince. It took me by surprise so many times. Readers were like “OOOO you foreshadowed this!” and I was “I DID???” :D I’m still sad the ending isn’t up to its standards, but I hope someday to write a proper end to it. 

fic you want to rewrite or expand on: Better ending for  The Loveless Prince. I think I will rewrite Training The Female Turk someday in the future. 

share a bit of a wip or story idea you’re planning on:  If I share, then I won’t actually write anything because my brain goes “You spoke it out loud. Now it’s completed.”  But I can tell that it would be nice to write more one-shots to Velvet Sweetmine or perhaps try if I could do Dragon Age fic. Strange Magic fic would be wonderful, too.

tagging: I must say I don’t know much writers so I will tag only a few by name and the rest of you can take this ask freely and say I tagged you! :3 I’m not active in writing communities but I know following people write fanfics: @dannybagpipesarecalling @sofimoon27 @his-shining-tears @hotchiwitchi @blood-and-pepper @kurtty-drabbles  @magically-strange

#tagged #niu fics #niu fic #I forgot the tag aaaa #fanfics

[bamfoftheundead]

I was looking back at @niuniente 's art of Kurt and kitty for the au and I got another idea for his backstory, esp when she insinuated that Kurt's a rescued/former slave

@dannybagpipesarecalling @kurtty-drabbles if your interested too?

Kurt was originally from a far village in northern [ravaged] Bavaria, raised by a small pack of blue furred beast [who mistook him for their own cub] until around his mid teen years where he was ''liberated'' by a group of raiders. Angry he leaves and travels around and finds many villages. He learns from the cultures and people around him, since he never learned to speak during his developmental stage it isn't for sure if he can speak yet or at all. He learns to communicate with yes and no noises and hand signals. For a short time he lives in a village with a romani woman, Margali. She takes him in and tries to reform him. A few years go by and then a group of raiders/villains destroys his town and steal people as slaves for a very diabolical project. Kurt was taken with the mass of villagers and when it became obvious he couldn't be tamed enough for use he was to be put down, until a sorceress sees the blue man and decides he could be of use. Amanda sefton keeps Kurt and uses him for her ghastly magick experiments, keeping him from running away with the promise of love and affections he'd never known before. Kurt doesn't know any better having not been taught about this and perceives Amanda's treatment as "love" and stays with her, he is nothing but a pet.

Weeks go by and he continues to suffer and struggle under Amanda's thumb. Finally a chance arises, a rogue mutant breaks free from their captivity and starts a riot. Kurt in the midst of the fighting Kurt jumps from a window to escape the woman and discovers his teleportation, after several ‘ports he also quickly discovered the limits to it. He travels the scorching desert looking for safety. He travels for days, barely kept alive by the deerskin canteen of water he’d snagged before jumping. Finally nearly a week later he comes across a red canyon, home to many catbeast. He scares off a few beast and sleeps within a cave hidden within the red stone. He makes the small cave his home, leaving occasionally only to hunt for food and water and sneak around the nearby villages. 

Even on the run Amanda still searches for her pet, determined to bring him back and make him hers.

_________

End [until he meets kitty soon and the story goes on]

If it's not good please tell me and I'll scrap it! Im just trying to give Kurt a past and this idea came to me

#x men nightcrawler #x men #kurtty #x men apocalypse #nightcrawler #kurt wagner #kitty pryde #amanda sefton #shes the main villain for kurt #shes terrible even in the apocalypse #lmao #earth 979v #bead au #beads of sand #feral kurt #thats what ill call him :D

Disney World’s Riviera Resort Update: Voyageurs’ Lounge Details

Disney just announced that the new Riviera Resort, opening this December, will feature a lounge that honors Walt Disney’s travels through Europe.

Disney’s Riviera Resort © Disney

The new lounge will be called Voyageurs’ Lounge and according to Disney will offer guests an “an artful little gathering place” to relax and share vacation memories.

Voyageurs’ Lounge’s decor will be inspired by the books that Walt Disney collected and by Walt’s 1935 European “Grand Tour,” and will showcase some of Disney’s connections to Europe — which is the inspiration for the entire Resort’s decor.

Disney’s Riviera Resort

Voyageurs’ Lounge will be located next to Le Petit Cafe, which we learned about in an earlier Disney announcement about the resort.

I don't know if you remember, but you were one of the very few authors who wrote about movie!verse Kurtty. So I'd like to ask for movie!verse Kurtty with "Road Trip with Good Friends". (I think I've got the right person. I'm going to be very embarrassed if I'm wrong.)

A car that is not especially worth noticing, at least twenty years old, rust along every fender, four-door and the kind of blue that brings to mind jeans that might once have been pretty, but had gone through too many rounds with bleach and now were more or less too bright. The fact that the windows were black tinted didn’t even seem worth questioning: who would want to be seen inside the thing?

The smell of half-eaten popcorn and donuts, a shirt drying by being tucked into the window and waving along the side of the car like a pirate flag, seltzer water in various flavors fizzing in the cooler in the leg alcove of the shot-gun seat.

Kitty was just grateful that Kurt had finally given up the driving and had moved the passenger seat back so he could sleep, honestly.

After letting her natter on and on about the up and coming architecture of the Southern Gothic they were on the way to see, listening to the music she had brought along that honest-to-his-Catholic-upbringing-God belonged back in the mid-90’s and would have cause her death from embarrassment should anyone else have heard it; her friend deserved a break. She’d slept, she’d laughed when she woke up and found breakfast food entirely unhealthy placed before her on the dashboard, she’d let him soldier through two more hours of miles upon miles of back roads made of dirt, grit, patches of grass that Kurt tried his best to avoid, and then mentioned statistics on car crash victims in connection to lack of sleep.

She should probably feel more guilty about scaring her older friend into relinquishing the steering wheel, but couldn’t find it in her as she turned down yet another crossroad and paused just long enough to turn down the crappy folk music currently playing and glanced at him.

Kurt without a shirt wasn’t anything she hadn’t seen before; curled up like an over-sized kitten into the sweaty, pleasant smelling car seat with his tail twitching along his scarring tattoos with the whims of his dreaming was slightly newer in their time together, but only because of his position.

Seeing him relaxed and comfortable, now, that was a tragedy in her not getting to see and him being unable to experience more often; probably since the beginning of his life and long before their pseudo-romantic relationship had begun just after it became obvious that there wasn’t anything that could be achieved between herself and Bobby and he had started teaching German to the newer students. She was honestly glad that she’d been recruited by Storm to be his TA and more had slowly develop from there.

It was just difficult to say anything, given that he was over ten years her senior and was so polite and proper that she didn’t want to scare him off without a huge build-up.

Hence taking up the first chance at a road trip after a mission he’d taken had ended with him being injured, confined to the medical wing and then allowed out only with the promise that he’d take it easy for at least two weeks.

It wasn’t like he would pass up Kitty introducing him to the kind of American life he’d fantasized about in his early youth; much more quiet and out of the way than his early assumptions, but all the better for the way he lived now.

And the food, of course. Nothing more romantic than introducing a bottom-less pit like Kurt to Creole potato salad, spiced shrimp gumbo and, for sure, French Quarter Bread Pudding.

Hopefully she’d have the guts to bring up the actual romantic insinuations while he was eating. It would be a lot harder to bring up while they looked into cotton plantations with abandoned, gloriously creepy barns that doubled as churches, installed top to bottom with creeping ivy and stain glass in disturbing End Times promises.“Urgh,” she groaned, trying to find another station that wasn’t practically illustrating her thoughts, pausing the car adjacent to yet another crossroad. Third one in under an hour.She’d just shut the radio off and plug in her MP3; Sixpence None the Richer HAD to be better than Bible Belt shrieking and static like knives on her own, and Kurt’s much more sensitive, ears.

A Disney Library

After my book review the other day, I thought it would be fun to share my personal Disney library. I don’t post at all in almost a year, and now I’m writing two original posts in one week! Anyway, it’s not much, but this is every single Disney book my mother and I have accumulated over the years. (That’s assuming I found all of the books we have, but of course halfway through this post I remembered a book that I completely failed to include, so I had to drag all of them back out and retake the picture.) Five of these are originally my mother’s, and the rest are mine. The books range in quality, from those classic Hidden Mickey books to various trivia books to books actually about the parks and the people who made them.

(A discussion of my favorite books and a list of the books is under the cut.)

A lot of these are trivia books we collected or were given over the years by people who know we’re Disney fans. Most of the books are pretty cursory or just average quality, but my personal favorite in the collection is Since the World Began. This is one of my mother’s books, and it’s the book I credit with getting me interested in Disney history. I read it over and over when I was younger, reliving that formative experience as many times as I could, and I spent hours poring over the pictures of extinct attractions in that book, as well as in another of my mother’s books, Walt Disney World Resort: A Magical Year-by-Year Journey (which is not as good of a book, so I wouldn’t call it one of my favorites, but it was certainly still a formative book for me). Another one of my absolute favorites is Marty Sklar’s book. It’s been a while since I read it, but I remember really enjoying his perspective on the parks, and it was a fascinating read. I also really enjoyed Walt Disney: An American Original. I’m always a little wary of books about Walt, just because there’s so much misinformation and conflicting accounts about him out there, but I just skimmed the author’s sources at the end of the book, and I think it’s reasonable to conclude it’s pretty accurate. At any rate, it was also a really interesting book to read.

On the other hand, I haven’t actually read a few of these yet. I’m currently a tiny bit of the way into The Haunted Mansion: Imagineering a Disney Classic, but I’m enjoying it so far. I’m just terrible at reading books that are physically larger than a standard size book, since you can’t really bring them many places, so I haven’t gotten too deep into it. I also haven’t read any of Disney Facts Revealed, since it was a recent gift to my mother and I’m really not a fan of the trivia books, but I’m going to take a look through it after writing this post (I actually have all of the trivia books sitting next to me right now because I haven’t looked at any of them in a while and I want to see how much I know. It’s a slow night of just marathoning Netflix). That really kind of holds true for most of the trivia books- I haven’t read all of them cover to cover, mostly because I’m uninterested in anything other than parks trivia. Most of them have sections dedicated to the parks, and that’s the bare minimum of the content that I’ve read in any of them! Of course, I also haven’t read the Hidden Mickey books cover to cover, since they’re not what I would call riveting, and I’ve never bothered doing a scavenger hunt as I don’t actually care about Hidden Mickeys all that much. I got those when I was younger and more interested in that sort of thing. However, the book I’m most looking forward to is Building a Better Mouse, which I’ll be reading on my upcoming plane trip this week. I plan to do a full book review post for it, but I’m very excited to read it as it took me years to track it down after completely forgetting every identifying characteristic about the book. Also, I haven’t ever gotten to read an EPCOT specific book, so I’m ready to hopefully learn something new about my favorite park!

House of M -Redone part 11

N/A: This is reaching the end, thank god.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @tieflingteeth @muninandhugin

Lady Mastermind´s headquarters is subtle at finest all thanks to her sister's choices, Lady Mastermind is awry in regards to Megan´s safety-not completely, mind you, as she has eyes and ears in Genosha.

First things first, is what on her mind, Lady Mastermind needs to defeat Scarlet Witch in one field where the woman is not at the top.

Blink bites her lips, pink as her skin, and voices one concern that plagues her mind, "but what if they find our location? They have telepaths and Pixie was never trained to endure this...process?"

Lady Mastermind is adjusting her corset, truly, if you want to be evil and sexy...you need to know how to dress as a woman and not as a man drawing hentai.

"Oh, I know they will do that...hence why I put our location in her mind," Lady Mastermind confessed too easily.

Blink is not seeing how her leader can be so nonchalant about this. "What? The Red Guard does not take prisoners...and they will still parade themselves as being humane!" Blink shouts and no one needs to be a telepath to know what she is thinking.

The Red Guard wants to protect Genosha at all costs.

They may want to go to the humane route-whatever for their own morality or for the press- but the point remains, The Red Guard has killed before and will do again if the occasion rises.

Lady Mastermind is too calm, as the corset is molding her body in an appropriate way, mind you, Lady Mastermind has no interest in parade herself in nothing but a corset.

Her look will be a sexy Victorian outfit aka, she will cover more skin.

"Oh, I meant...they will have an address...I never said it was the right one!" Lady Mastermind explains and Blink is pondering this line, the implications...

"And there´s no way of them...finding us?"

"None!"

___________________________________

Kurt and Kitty are approaching the building, too fancy to be unnoticed and at the same time, too fancy to be suspicious. Kurt and Rogue are shaking their head in disapproval...the place was too obvious now.

Kitty won´t comment on tastes...after all, when she was 13 years old she thought ribbons would be fashionable, well, many mean girls prove otherwise.

The team is composed of Rogue, Kitty- an honorable guest and nothing more if she is immune to illusions...that´s no big deal- and Kurt. You don´t need to be a telepath to know ...Rogue is not too comfortable in having Kitty here.

"Sugah, we´re going to do...bad things here," Rogue commence not unkindly yet, "you´re here for a technicality," her eyes wander to her brother who is just staring back, "but we´ll kill those who are a threat to Genosha and the Queen...do you understand?"

Do you understand what you´ll see?

Kitty wants to lie and say yes and how that won´t be a problem for her.

Kitty is a terrible liar.

"I know...and yes, I´m immune to illusions so you two need me, I get what I´ll see is not....great, but, let´s forget about me for a moment," she psyches herself for the last part, "are you sure you and the elf can do all this alone?"

Kurt now smirks and it is a mirror image of his sister.

"Katzchen, me, and Rogue are an army, this is more than enough," Kurt even winks Kitty after such line is delivered.

Kitty bites her lips. She saw Kurt, the conspiracy theories. She saw Kurt the flirt...she never saw Kurt...the Red Guard...in action.

"Ok, I trust your judgment..." Kitty speaks and no one says anything else. Rogue, for her part, regards Kitty one last time as if saying ''are you ready?''

And truth to be told, Kitty is not sure if she is...

But she made her bed, now she must lay.

________________________________________

The building is an apartment, one of those for the elite only. Kitty recognized one celebrity as Patsy Walker- the famous actress and radio host- taking her mail and ignoring the Red Guards the best she can.

Kitty looks at Rogue who is entering the elevator along with her brother and both are waiting for something.

Conventionally speaking, in video games, as soon the heroes enter in the base of the enemy...everyone starts to attack, yet, what they´re getting is total ignorance of some and bewildered from others.

The security let them in...too easily.

"Guys..." Kitty spoke startled by the bing sound in the elevator as the doors open to reveal more illustrious people trying to enter, but, noticing Kurt and Rogue preferred to wait for another elevator.

"Guys...is this an evil lair to you?"

Rogue growls and Kurt continues to press the bottom to each floor, till finally, they reach the penthouse level.

If Kurt was expecting something evil...all he got was a penthouse owned by a very distressed and confused socialite.

A lie is made on the spot and the socialite is more than pleased to help Genosha-she shows interest in Kurt and his fur, but, the man´s mind is reeling to even notice her words- and well, there´s nothing evil going on in this apartment.

Aside from capitalism and very rich people.

_____________________________________

Rogue stares at Kitty as if any moment the woman will reveal this was all a facade, Rogue was hoping for that...except.

"Not an illusion...just a fancy apartment," Kitty spoke inwardly relieved she won´t have to see the Red on the Red Guard.

Kurt grits his teeth and says one thing. "Fantastic she made us of a fool, fantastic!"

Rogue exhales sharply. "What we do?"

Kurt stares at the building as if it is mocking them.

"We return to Genosha, either Pixie trick us or Lady Mastermind is far more cunning than we thought," Kurt spoke seriously and a bit ashamed, silly Kurt thought this would be an easy mission.

_______________________________

Blink can sigh in relief as her boss´s words are proven true once again, not once the Red Guard show up or have any clue where they are.

"So...what´s the next part of the plan?" Blink asked largely now.

"We destabilize Wanda, who wants to have a queen that is so incompetent?" and adds "then we strike, we´ll get Genosha once and for all,"

The mysterious Death of Charles Xavier Part 2

N/A: A bit more set up for this story.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @kurttyfamily  @tieflingteeth

The chippering birds are singing loudly on the bare branch of the tree near Maximoff´s household. One girl wearing a purple cloak and spreading towards the woman at the entrance of the house- the woman is wearing scarlet and is holding a teacup hovering in the air- and hugs said the woman. “Miss Maximoff, guess what? I got accept into the school!’

Kitty is beaming as she’s holding the letter of acceptance. Wanda Maximoff hugs the girl, her hand is gloved with velvet red and once the hug is broken, the Scarlet Witch titled her head. “School?”

Kitty beams and explains in one go, without needing to breathe, what really happened, and then takes a moment to breathe. Wanda blinks at the explanation.

“I see, let’s drink tea and talk,” Wanda set the table-one can see the magic items and even feel the charm itself. Kitty is familiar with going to this place, however, Kitty never saw the Darkhold...too advanced and too dangerous.

“So, from what you told me, you want to go to Hellfire School to solve the mystery of Charles Xavier´s death, ok, may I ask why?” Wanda asked curiously as the young pupil is tying up her hair in a ponytail at the last minute.

“Well, I...” she is cut off as a strong wind flips her hair, she looks around to see a new person in the room. “Oh, hello Mr. Maximoff,” Kitty greets him. Pietro rolls his eyes-it´s possible to see the corner of his mouth twisting in a smile- and speaks to the girl.

“I told you to stop calling me that, Mr. Maximoff makes me feel old...and I already have white hair,” he mentions his hair as proof of his words.

Kitty nods sagely. “Ok, Mr. P”

Wanda chuckles at that. Pietro sighs.

“Well, it’s better...and you what you two are talking about? magic stuff?” Pietro asked interested and resembling a curious puppy. Wanda shakes her head.

“Actually no, we´re talking about Kitty going to Hellfire School,” Wanda explained cautiously. “The school where Prof X was murder,” she raises her eyebrows and gesture to Kitty Pryde.

Pietro takes the hint. “So, let me get this straight, you wanna solve another mystery?” Pietro asked, and Kitty nods mutely. “Of course, here we go again, ok...did you know Prof X´ house was a school before the Hellfire took over?”

Kitty denies and now is giving undying attention to Pietro.

“Yeah, the Hellfire used to be a school for all mutants, well, he had a group of mutants called X-Men...Scott was the leader,” Pietro snickers and Wanda gives him a pointy look at him.

“After the death of Prof X, yes Kitty he was called like that, the X-Men disbanded, and re-grouped in other places,” Wanda pipes in calmly.

Pietro grimace now. “Our sperm donor was friends with Prof X,” he looks a bit revolted, “or maybe more than friends when the bald man died...our sperm donor cried like we never saw before, nor we´ll,” Pietro added somberly.

Wanda nods. “Yes, Magneto was so distraught by Prof X´ death...he even tried to take the school to honor his “friend” death," Wanda takes a sip of his cup of tea. “Then, by the intervention of law, Madelyne Pryor got the acquaintance of the school,”

Wanda can see the gears on Kitty´s mind working.

“But, what about Jean Grey? Should she be the one to be the heir? I mean, Prof X had a son ....who rejected him, the school in several ways, even legal ways,” Kitty remembers that story and has the clips saved on her pen drive.

Pietro interjected. “Well, yes. But Jean and Maddy are twins,” Pietro seems to want to make a joke and Wanda shakes her head. “Anyway, Maddy was made the heir for reasons we do not know...and then she and Emma created the Hellfire school, a place for mutants who are real genius!”

kitty blinks remembering this story. This time Wanda scoffs.

“Emma is a bitch,” Wanda replied and Kitty is shocked by the choice of words. “Sorry Kitty, but, she is....we have a bad history. Anyway, it was her idea to make this school so...exclusive,” Wanda is clearly not pleased.

Pietro nods in agreement. “She’s also one of the few telepaths who are powerful enough to hold the title Prof X left open,”

“And to make our sperm donor back off, say what you will about Emma, but she’s truly strong to make Magneto think twice before anything, few have this...privilege,” Wanda replied cooly.

Kitty nods. “And how the body was found? I mean, Prof X is/was a powerful telepath... I find it hard to believe he was murder in the traditional way,”

Pietro and Wanda sent a look to each other.

“Kitten, look, is already too late to say how dangerous and morbid this all is, again, not your first mysterious death nor will be your last...but, Prof X had many secrets, made many enemies...his death is not truly investigated,” the twins talked together.

Kitty holds her tongue to not say how funny that was.

“I know...but like you two said, together! I had to do this once again,” Kitty states conventionally.

Wanda sighs and then speaks. “You know, Reeds tried to solve it...”

Pietro shakes his head. “He’s that smart and I bet he knows what happened but refuses to share it,”

No one argues against that.

Kitty holds her letter. “Well, guess I have to be smarter than him,” she jokes. “and yes, I´ll solve the case,”

“Just be careful, Kitty, those students are scary smart, one of them, moon girl is so smart she...created a dino,” Pietro exclaimed perplexed.

Wanda chuckles. “You have a twin you is a witch. This surprised you?!”

“Wanda, have you made a T-Rex? No, I don´t think so,”

Kitty watches them bicker for some time.

_________________________________________________

Cameron is a rational man, at least, he truly hopes he is. When his daughter develops magic and mutation well, the man was freaking out, but, thanks to Terry, his dear wife, the man got a grip and did the right thing.

This, however, is a matter they both need to discuss quickly as possible. “Terry, listen, I have a friend in New Orleans, he has a house for rent, we can go there...Kitty can study in that School of magic in New Orleans, We can live there,” Cameron suggested.

Terry’s lips are now a thin line. “Look, we´re jumping horses here, your job...how that would work?”

Cameron raises his hand. “We have a filial in New Orleans, I can be transferred there,”

Terry is biting her lips now. “Yes, but the legal process would take a while, plus, we never enter contact with that school, Wanda told us, remember? That New Orleans magic school has time to accept new students...and I think we´re far behind,” Terry responds worriedly.

“True, but I was thinking...maybe Scarlet Witch could...you know, open some door for Kitty,” noticing his wife’s gaze, Cameron amends. “Look, I´m not happy with any of this, but, do you want our daughter to be the sole magic user here?”

Terry blinks.

“I´m a muggle, ok, but even I know Kitty must be lonely here. She’s the only witch in this area, is involved in dark mysterious and well, is the only witch too young to join a coven,” Cameron replied.

“Oh...but she has so many friends, does she needs witch friends?”

“I don´t know, again, I´m a muggle, but, wouldn´t hurt...Kitty can be more close with her magic side, it feels as if we´re trying to force her to choose one side,” Cameron states.

“All paths lead to Hellfire School then, and I hate it, I don´t want them to bully her...look, our daughter may not be magic, but, those kids...” she trails off.

Cameron nods slowly. “I´m afraid too, but let’s be real, what option do we have here, we once tried to lock her in her room to stop her from tangle her in dark mystery, and...we found out her former principal is Satan,”

“Mephisto” Terry corrected.

“Yeah, so...let’s try a new approach, maybe this is just the typical ‘’rich dude is killed for money’’ and will be bored, hey, sometimes rich people kill each other for money, not for Satan,”

The door slams and the two adults jolt.

Kitty enters the house. Still holding the letter. “Mom, dad...”

Terry just hugs her daughter, “tell me, do you want to go to this school?”

Kitty nods.

“Promise to call us?”

Kitty nods.

“Then...fine...guess we have no choice, but, look is temporary, you heard me, temporary!”

Across the universe -part 6

@dannybagpipesarecalling @tieflingteeth @munichstagram

Ororo Monroe has her fair share of odd love stories Doom wanted to marry Ororo and so does Dracula-flatter as in thought, the execution, in reality, is less than romantic- therefore, Ororo feels she can´t judge too much.

“But you are...” Kitty, or the being who presented herself as Kitty Pryde, speaks softly, as she’s holding a big mug of coffee. “No, I´m not reading your thought, just your body language,” Kitty promised and takes a sip of her coffee.

If her husband is a being who adores chaos, pain, and beer, well, Zaorva likes coffee.

“I just...want to understand, why you marry.....him?” Ororo is smart enough to know she can´t call what she truly thinks of Zaorva´s husband, either fearing a negative reaction from Zaorva or the said being, being polite is the best excuse here.

Zaorva drinks her coffee and gives no signals of being offended or annoyed. Once the mug is empty, now Zaorva responds.

“I love him and he loves me, we don´t complete each other because we´re being complete, we´re Outer Gods, Ororo, not...gods or humans...something beyond that,” There’s a wistful look in her expression now.

Ororo can only imagine what she is thinking and Ororo knows that whatever she imagines doesn´t come closer to the truth.

“We´re chaotic beings...but so different, if I have to respond to your question with all sincerity and if me saying I love him is not enough, imagine this: We´re the ying-yang. He’s destruction, I´m creation...we exist together and separated,” Zaorva creates another mug-the previous one vanish in thin air- and a new brew of coffee is being tasted.

Ororo blinks at this response. She doubts LK has any love for anything...then again, would she call Zaorva delusional for saying this.

“I think I can understand that, he loves you,” there´s no room for argument in her tone and Zaorva nods in approval, “but...he’s evil, malicious is the word you use often, just tell me...how? How do you live with him?”

Zaorva stops drinking her coffee and stares at Ororo. Such intensity and such power with one look, one look from a human avatar.

“You seem to think I live in the merry state and create flowers and sing all day, don´t worry, many people think that of me,” Zaorva rolls her eyes, “while I love creating, I do create many things you mortals consider bad...oh no, not bad humans...you humans are free to be the worst of the worst if you guys wish,” Zaorva states fraught with nostalgia and melancholy.

“The humans have free will, but, I also create other things that you humans can use for good or bad, I take the blame...maybe, maybe I´m a hoard,” she shrugs nonplussed about it. “the point is, creation can be as deadly as destruction. I know that, he knows that. We know that,”

Ororo is not entirely sure who the “we” refers to.

“So, yes, he has done terrible things, I did things that would be terrible and yes, sometimes I ask for him to spare planets, sometimes I watch him destroy planets...the thing you have to understand is: we´re Outer Gods, we´re beyond what you mortals may understand of morality...” Zaorva concludes now drinking her coffee pleased by the new brew.

Ororo absolves this information.

“In Kenya, the tales of the Black Pharaoh are told to anyone who dares to listen, they say he had a wife so pretty and no one believed she was there out of her free will,” Ororo repeats the same words her mother used to say about those tales.

Zaorva hummed and put her mug down. “Oh, that’s an old narrative, very popular, there´s one where I changed him for the good, which is hilarious!”

Ororo nods and concludes the conversation. “How many Ororos asked this question?”

Zaorva now blinks, and an amused smile spreads across her face. “You´re the fifth, though, the second was under the belief I was chained to him, literally. Oh, she’s fine but she made a passionate speech about how my husband is evil and I didn´t see it,” Zaorva chuckles.

Ororo shakes her head, that version of herself is silly...is clearly shows Zaorva knows and still loves.

The mysterious death of Charles Xavier

@dannybagpipesarecalling @kurttyfamily @tieflingteeth @muninandhugin​

The pallet of colors present in the main office is white, red, and green, all thanks to Emma Frost, Madelyne Pryor, and Sebastian Shaw.

The main office is filled with letters, admissions letters to be exact, to be examined by the 3 adults present in this deluxe ambient. Sebastian Shaw is reading the letter of the Braddocks - the paper has the brazen of the family and Shaw is paying more attention for practical reasons only- ignoring the other pile.

Sebastian Shaw needs no introduction as the man dressed like someone from the Victorian era, which is unpractical, as they´re in the 21 century.

“The Braddocks are asking about our summer program, a collaboration can be profitable for us,” the voice carries not-so-subtle greed and the two ladies present in the room ignored his words.

“Anyhow, we have to select the next class for the school, we need genius and mutant, accepting Inhumas was a mistake,” Maddy counter clinical even if her eyes hold some pity, “at least in the RP department, Medusa was a hell of a show for us to deal and this really affected our reputation,”

Madelyne Pryor has long red hair, green eyes and is a stunning woman, however, she’s holding a letter with the symbol of the royal family. “They took all the Inhumas kids from us and ...we look like fools, I don´t like that at all,” Madeline frowns as the letter is burned.

Sebastian pipes in. “Your sister could have helped us” it was poor advice to give as Madeline sent a death glare in response, the man may be greedy but he’s smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

Emma Frost is laughing, for once, it wasn´t thanks to Shaw's callous decision or Maddy´s sister complex. “Oh My God!” she barks laughter again as she hands the letter to Maddy.

Madeline takes the letter and reads it out loud. “Dear council of Hellfire school, my name is Katherine Anne Pryde, I´m not a genius nor I know much about genetic-I think you guys have tons of future evil scientists- but I´m a fan of mysterious...I´m a witch- a real one, I promise- and I want to investigate the mystery of Charles Xavier´s death, can I please study in your school?”

Maddy cracks a smile but is unsure why Emma found that so hilarious.

“You, this is perfect, let’s enroll her in this school!” Emma suggested and Shaw wanted to argue but Emma is quick on her point. “Aside from her being hilarious,” there´s a derisive tone present. “It will also help us take the antis out of our back, people seem to think we support eugenics and if we have a true dumbass running around...our school is safe, for now,” Emma concluded.

The woman adjusted her white dress suit-never once ashamed of her coverage- and reads as she looks at the picture of Kitty Pryde. “She looks so much like a goofy,” controlling her laughter the woman has a sly smile now. “Which means, she’s perfect, we can use her,”

Madelyne Pryor raises one good point. “Emma, our school is for genius for a very good reason, you think if we let a person, with normal intelligence, hanging out here...it won´t cause us problems? Do you think she can understand our classes?”

Emma shakes her head. “Of course not, but, again, she wants to investigate one of the most mysterious deaths of Charles Xavier, let her try, once she fails...she can put this on her resume later and hey, our good name may open some door for her or not, either way, no one loses here,” Emma promised.

Shaw raises another good point. “The tuition is expensive for a reason, you think this girl can afford it? Plus, our scholarships are for real genius, real talents like Amadeus Cho or Kurt Waggoner, wouldn´t that mean...we´re robbing some child’s chance just so you can bully a teen?”

Maddy is looking at him in total surprise. “Wow, that’s a very ...kind thoughtful of you, Sebastian!”

Sebastian just shrugs. “The student of today can be a client of tomorrow”

Maddy sighs in defeat. “Here we go, that’s the real Sebastian!”

Emma waves dismissively at them. “we still can afford the real students, this one...this one will be a short joke, I promise you,”

In the end, no one has any objection.

Kitty Pryde should be in school, but, ever since the incident-something no one likes to comment on- she and all the other students have free time. Well, some have tutors and others were transferred to another school.

Kitty is with her red jacket as she’s coming back to her home, no school may be normal, but no one can stay stuck at home 24/7 as she returns-sauntering and even jumping over the white fence- she noticed a letter on the mailbox.

“Hey, the mail deliverer arrived at last,” she noticed the number of letters. Bills and some invitation, until, “Oh my God...The Hellfire School reply to me” the girl has a big grin on her face.

She went inside to open the letter. Didn’t even hear her mother saying something about soup, as she is now in her room filled with magic and mystery books till the eyes can see.

Kitty delicately puts the letter on the bed and takes a deep sigh. Her fingers grow a soft blue light.

“OK, OK, Letter open it,” the letter opens by itself gently. Kitty is reading one time, two times, three times and finally, she screams of joy.

This makes Terry prompts to her room with a broom in her hands. “What? Is another demon?” and sighs in relief as is just Kitty with a floating letter. “What happened?”

“Mom, guess what? I´m accepted to Hellfire School...I CAN SOLVE ANOTHER MYSTERY,”

Terry can only say one thing. “Could be this time the mystery won´t be related to a demon?”

“It’s Charles Xavier´s murder!”

“Silly Terry, silly me!”

House of M au (redone) part 8

N/A: I´m happy with the reviews. Yes, Scott took Jean´s last name because he wants to be Mr. Grey-puns are welcome here- anyway, the story will continue. Now, more about my Witch Queen of my heart.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @tieflingteeth @muninandhugin 

The news channel has the liberty to express its concern ever since the fiasco on the Queen´s palace. This is an ironic spin, as the media, often label Wanda as being a totalitarian ruler who controls the media to say whatever she wants to further her own agenda.

Hard to think how allowing anyone any means of communication openly talk-sometimes even mock- the last incident in her home could help her in any way.

Wanda is pacing back and further as the anchor of channel 5 is re-telling the incident one last time. "As the royal advisory reported, the situation is under control and no one has gravely harmed thanks to the play of such illusions, according to some witness, many saw their worst fear come to life" the reporter points to the panel. "fire, snakes, zombies and much more to what was a peaceful night. No information regards who did such prank" and the TV was shut off by Quicksilver.

Pietro watches his sister pacing back and forth. Her twins- Tommy and Billy are sleeping, both ignorant of the fiasco that happened- and Lorna is waiting for her older sister to say something. This is an old dance between the siblings.

Finally, Pietro is the one to interrupt the dance, metaphorically speaking, as Wanda´s magic is flowing too freely. "Wanda? who do you suspect is behind this?"

And as for magic, again only metaphorically speaking, she halts her moves and bites her inner lips. Her red eyes slowly returning to her natural color-some would say, never to her face, that red is her natural color- and stares at her family.

"Lorna, you may not know this, but, father used to have a revolutionary group" Pietro snorts and Wanda promptly ignored him. "called the League of evil mutants, yes, it´s tacky name"

Lorna shakes her head. "I knew about that, and...the name is a bad attempt at irony, father wasn´t very good at this, wasn´t he?" Lorna asked trying to lift the mood. A rounding failure on her part.

"In that group, there´s a man called Mastermind" Wanda bites her inner lip and looks at Pietro. "Don´t go overprotective on me, but, the creepy old man used to make moves on me... 15 years old"

Pietro´s face turns a dangerous shade of vermillion. Wanda has to admire this face for a moment, they´re twins, connected in ways people can´t understand, she can feel his fury as she can feel it mellow out.

Pietro took a few low sighs. "If you didn´t tell me back then is because you could handle yourself...still, I´m pissed I never knew about that until now"

Wanda could mention how Janet Van Dyme used to hit on him, even with the age difference above them, however, Pietro is not as smooth and suave as people would like to believe. He never noticed and Wanda never let the older woman take advantage of her innocent twin.

"My point is, the man once tried to bribe me with promises of a better life and his illusions should have sealed the deal" Wanda´s tone is nonchalant. "I didn´t, of course, I´m Scarlet Witch...not a toy and I teach him the difference between magic and illusion" her grin is similar to Magneto.

(Few would say that to her face. Wanda has no white hair. Wanda has all the bad signs of Magneto if provoked)

Lorna looks back and forth to her older brothers. "ok, and you think he´s back? Retaliation for you told fuck yourself?" Lorna is a princess and she feels this is more than enough reason to use the F-bomb.

Wanda shakes her head. "The man didn´t seem heartbroken as he slept with Paula" Pietro shurgs and Wanda won´t elaborate how that was awkward or how their father could make some background check for his minions. "anyway, my point is...Mastermind has many daughters and Mastermind was killed 2 years ago."

"Great story sis, still not seeing the point here" Lorna states trying to imagine a younger Wanda and Pietro along with their father. Even in her mind, there´s zero chance of a positive and fatherly outlook for Magneto and his first kids. That really makes her look down at her ring. Magneto gave this ring to Lorna and to this day, she has no idea why.

"My point is...only someone of the Mastermind family could make those illusions and only one person in that family was powerful enough to pull that off" Wanda states composed.

Pietro answers for her. "Reagan!"

Wanda nods. "Lorna, when dad acquired this land...he didn´t get this by making legal and honest deals. He made a deal with Mastermind and well, I think he didn´t want to fulfill his part"

Lorna narrows her eyes for a moment. Allowing her body to slouched on the chair-completely breaking the princess image- as she tries to remember the "official version" as to how Genosha came to be.

"Dad told me...he buys this land...was that a lie?"

"Yes, he stole this land...but, it was a useless land that had no use for anyone...father is still a criminal, we can sympathize to the motives" Pietro offers magnanimously. "but we can´t forget he was willing to throw our lives away to achieve his noble goal"

Lorna now bites her lips. Yes, she can´t forget that.

"So, what we do? Go after this Reagan woman and tell her to stop?"

"Well, that would be a plan...if I knew where this woman is"

Rogue Darkholme is used to many things. Having to wear a frilly dress in some events, sure, she can do that-she´ll look positively murderous, but, hey she can do that- having to coordinate a hasty exit as people are shouting in panic for snakes, fire and zombies are ready to kill them even though is an illusion? She can do that, however, she can´t do one thing.

"Kurt, NO!" Rogue uses all her big sister move to impose her denial on Kurt´s request. The azzure man is having none of this.

"Kurt, YES"

Rogue groans in response. "Kurt, she´s a civilian" Rogue has no inhibition to point at Kitty who is pretending to read her newspaper as if this is a common occurrence.

Rogue facepalm herself. "Kurt, she´s a civilian. She can´t be inside the intelligence of Genosha. She can´t participate in the mission"

"Uhm, excuse me! I was one of the few people who wasn´t affected by the illusions, just saying" her sing-song tone is noticed by Rogue who brown furrowed at such declaration.

"Kurt, you don´t have to drag your new girlfriend to missions! What mother will say"

Kurt pouts. "I´m more professional than that, plus, she could be an asset as you know, she´s immune to illusions...not everyone in our department has this luxury" the last part is chilling cold and it seems Kitty won´t be briefed about what Kurt is talking about.

Rogue mellows down. She nods. "Ok, fine, she can come with us....but mom will have a word with you, civilian"

"Kitty! My name is Kitty Pryde. Not civilian, you´re losing the cool aspect now...Kurt, you´re cooler than Rogue now"

Kurt's fist bumps the air.

Rogue is bemused.

House of M- redone (part 9)

N/A: This story is close to being wrapped and as always I will not make a sequel. I hope the ending is ok.

@dannybagpipesarecalling  @muninandhugin

The breakthrough about Lady Mastermind participating in the lastest attempts is all thanks to Mystique and a good connection with Logan- the rich playboy is living a good life but his ears still work- warrant a meeting with the Witch Queen and every single Red guard present, leastwise, all the important ones.

And sure, Kitty Pryde is present in the meeting. Once, Kitty confessed to Jubilee she would love to be in a Red guard meeting if this could mean she can be close to the famous Witch Queen. Yes, Kitty knew it was just a fan-fantasy and it wouldn´t be real.

"Why is she here?" Mystique asked solicited leering at Kitty. Her golden eyes fixed on her two children. Rogue crosses her arms and looks away, Kurt is nonchalant about the whole ordeal, while Kitty, in all her wisdom, is staring at Mystique.

Wanda is too used by the Darkholme clan to mind their shenanigans- Pietro rolls his eyes and Lorna is always amused- and one clear of her throat is enough to stop whatever was stirring in the Darkholme clan and all eyes are focused on Wanda.

(Lorna is holding the little Billy and Tommy as Wanda doesn´t trust to let them alone lately nor Lorna wants to be left out of the debate)

(Billy and Tommy are too little to know how dangerous the situation truly is. All they know is that they are here)

"Now we´re all here to discuss what to do about Lady Mastermind" her voice demands respect and all eyes are present for the famous witch queen.

Scarlet eyes stare back. Wanda is anything but powerless.

"What does she wants with Genosha?" Kitty asked too bravely and inwardly cringing as all eyes are present and facing the small figure- Kurt holds her hand unobtrusively and Kitty can feel his ungloved hand nicely- gulping loudly she carries on. "No one wakes up and decides to cause chaos and I know Magneto and Mastermind used to work together"

Kitty notices the apprehensive from the royal family and adds swiftly. "I say this thanks to the textbooks and many videos about them"

Pietro snaps at such revelation. "Wait, I thought those videos were banned"

Lorna regards Kitty cooly. The woman tries to remember how the royal children have a tumultuous past with Magneto. A young mutant may say Magneto is right, but, his kids can also say how he´s a terrible father.

It's a real tragedy for the man who is immortalized as an activist for mutants is now forever and ever denied any semblance of love by his only family.

"Not all the videos, some are still available, his fight in New York, for example, is still show by everyone in the globe. In that fight, everyone can see Mastermind and Magneto fighting with their enemies and each other" Kitty concludes her case.

Wanda studies her. Such red eyes and the woman is not above pretending her crimson eyes aren´t intimidating.

"Mastermind had a desire for Genosha, one my father never fulfill. You think his daughter carries such insult as it was direct to her?" Wanda asked and no one is sure if this is a rhetorical question or not.

Mystique is the one to interject. "It wouldn´t be the first. Many people in the past often believe to have a claim to Genosha...but, if its not about the land... then could be about " her golden eyes travel to Billy and Tommy. "your family...is very interesting to some people"

Pietro inhales starkly. "That too wouldn´t be the first time...and we´ll face them and win, again"

Lorna pipes in. "Pietro is right, it wouldn´t be the first time someone..." her green eyes land on the two little boys who are playing on their phones now. "tried to harm us...plus, Wanda is really powerful...only a fool would try to fight her"

Wanda sighs weakly. "I´m not all-powerful. I´m still human and I can still die like everyone else...That´s why I need a plan, I need to know Genosha and my family will be safe"

Kitty never saw Wanda in such a position before. Sure, when they broadcast the Witch Queen the media shows this woman who is God in a red dress. No one ever imagined or wanted to imagine she is just as human as the rest.

Rogue takes the reign of the conversation. "Kitty mentioned that fight in New York, well, I saw that fight too, and apparently Mastermind had some allies. Some died, some are still alive and this gave me a lead" Rogue has that winning smirk.

Mystique is exasparated. Are all of her children enjoying secret investigations?

"Turns out, the man had 4 marriages and had 4 daughters, one of them is in Genosha right now" Rogue is revealing as this is a story and it´s getting closer to the climax.

Kitty stares at Kurt who is too used to the level of the flare of his dear older sister.

"Her name is Pixie or how she was once called Megan Gwynn" Rogue reveals triumphantly. "A teleport and magic-user that is enrolled at Emma´s school"

Silence reigns as Rogue were expecting. "So, I took the deliberately to ask Megan to come to one of the stations and have a nice chat with Kwannon"

"Wait, if she´s a magic-user can´t she magic her way up with Kwannon?" Kurt asked in pure concern. After all, magic users are wild cards. Thankfully, Wanda doesn´t take offense in that.

Kitty can picture the scene of this young girl in the station having to deal with Kwannon. One of the best telepaths after Jean Grey. "Where is her mother? Was she in Genosha all alone?"

Is ethical to interrogate a young girl without her parents even in this situation? I think not.

"Oh, she was with relatives in Genosha, an aunt but that was fake" Rogue answers.

Wanda and Pietro don´t like where this is going.

Kitty is the one to pinder about Pixie´s safety.

After all, she could have been one of her students...

Postwoman au (part 9)

N/A: Oh, God! It has been years. No, seriously. This one will be straight to the point. Kurt is just messing with Kitty.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @muninandhugin @tieflingteeth

There´s a saying passed down by generations that goes more or less like this: when you´re about to die, you´ll see all your life in a flash. However, the same can apply to one scene that you deem important.

Kitty Pryde never hide the fact she´s a city gal at its core, sure, she may like animals and even ride horse-once and it was thanks to Mirage who lead the horse one time-yet, Kitty would never prefer camping over a day in the city.

Once upon a time, the Prydes ventured camping. Kitty was a small bean- her father´s words, not hers- pouting and complaining akin to a cat, however, the pouts and jokes stop once a wild wolf enters their line of view.

Kitty, herself, doesn´t remember that episode but her mother always gives the details to paint a mental image. The small bean! Kitty tried to face the wolf with all the courage someone so young can muster.

Thankfully, a ranger did pass down and saved the Prydes. A story with a happy ending. However, what possesses a young Kitty to try to face a wolf?

Right now, what posses Kitty to stares down at whatever is gazing at her as if she could win? Stubbornness or stupidity? At this point, it doesn´t matter.

"What...strange little creature you are" his English is too heavy. The accent is too noticeable and almost familiar, but, she can be excused for not paying too much attention to his phonetic.

Kitty hugs the basket with her rocks. A mission is a mission. A job is a job. Her eyes noticed the fog cloud the area. A black fog that has a smell of brimstone-flashes of fire invaded her mind. Fire and more fire. Kitty could even taste her own flesh burning- as her eyes scan the area one last time.

"Rich words coming from a coward that hides in the fog!" Kitty reminisces the time Bobby fought an invisible man. According to him, he was extremely lucky in that fight, because the invisible man had a perfume so strong that even Bobby-who has a normal nose- could pick up. Can this apply to Kitty too?

The voice gave a burst of bombastic laughter. It was laughter or a mini-Earthquake? Kitty scans the area again. She takes a step down as she waits for any attack. Any clue of where this invisible force may be.

"If you think I´m hiding then it means you´re not from here..." his tone is conversational. "Or you´re not from this time..." the fog gets thicker as Kitty can measure up with her naked eye. "Nor I think you´re a witch!" the former is an accusation.

Kitty´s lips straighten in a thin line as her eyebrows narrow. The fog remains. The fog gets thicker and thicker causing Kitty to try to levitate. "I don´t have to answer to you..." She opens her mouth in a perfect O when noticing she can´t levitate. The Fog is not allowing.

"Yet..." the creature continues ignoring Kitty´s rude stares. "your hair says you´re guarded by someone...how interesting" and laughs again as Kitty´s eyes are doing a scan for the third time. "Oh, darling, mein dumme Frau, I´m not here...I´m up here!" his tone is jovial.

Kitty almost screams as her eyes follow up and saw a mountain and two golden moons. Until her mind registers that the creature is the mountain and the moons are its eyes.

"The fog..." Kitty got pale. Still hugging the basket because Kurt trusted her with this mission.

"Me, all me, Schoen Frau" Replied amused. Now, Kitty can see its razor-sharp teeth up close. “What a non-witch is doing with my magical rocks?”

Kitty stills hugs the basket. Kurt trusted her and Kitty, for some reason, doesn´t want to let him down. “I´m on a mission…is all I can say. If you don´t let me do my job, my boss will come here and kick your ass…serious, he´s really scary and into some strange things”

The creature frowns at her briefly. “You don´t know my name, do you?”

Kitty has the perfect counter-answer. “Do you know mine?”

“No, how curious is that…I usually know everyone´s name. OK, mein Frau…you can call me Chernobog” Kitty's expression twisted as the name dances in her mind. “And I´m not as cruel as to prevent a working woman to do her job, so, let´s make you a deal, mein Frau?”

Kitty cannot trust in fairies and Gods-even if what land her into this job was an Outer God- and hissed carefully now. “Depends”

“Oh, don´t look so frightened,  I´ve no intention to harm you. All I ask you to stay here until the sun rises. If you can handle my party, I´ll let you leave with the stones” Noticing her confusion and distress. “I gave my word as a God, Mein Frau if a God breaks a promise….”

“She or he dies right away” Kitty completes the sentence. “If I accept, what your party will entail?” She was vision orgies and maybe some public-speech in languages she´ll never understand.

The creature smiles too inviting. Too above her. “Dancing and music, just that”

Seems…innocent enough.

“Deal”

The fog let her touch the ground. Kitty only has to endure one demonic party. Well, she saw Yana´s parties in the past, this is nothing on her resume now.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Kitty is not even sure if she can still in the mountains. The fog remains. The burning smell remains but as she can walk freely now-she had a paranoid moment where she thought her feet are being mutated and sigh in relief as this is not the case- and notice the lack of life in such a party.

Her brown eyes stare at a procession coming her way. People wearing black and white clothes coming her way. Slow steps as if they have no rush.

The woman manages to take a good look at their faces and cover her mouth with one of her free hands. The procession of the undead is hard to miss. The flash decaying from its owners. Eyes popping out from their socket.

She´s levitating as the undead continues. The Fog takes them- The fog is this creature and all she can understand in the bleak scenario was screams-so many screams. Women, men, and children alike- until the corpses were dust.

The souls are free.

The souls are erring.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Kitty is not sure where her feet, the wind, or even the fog is taking her. All she knows now is how she needs to survive one night to be able to live and never return. "I don´t want to see you ever again" she sniffs hating her own tears.

"Oh, why? The party is only begging" Kitty started as she feels a hand on her face cleaning her tears. Tasting said tears and looking at her. Two golden eyes gaze at her amused.

Words escape her mind/

"Why so quiet, Mein Frau...you´re so talkative before" the creature spoke softly.

Kitty steps back and runs away. The creature is too cruel for using that face...is the only reason, cruelty, and nothing more.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Kitty saw demons being torn apart by the creature. She knows his name. Chernobog. Yet, to her, this God is too alien to use his own name. Too cruel to deserve some politeness.

Kitty sees demons being made in the grotesques way possible. A mockery of birth. More blood is spit, more flesh is decayed and more souls beg for mercy.

Finally, the sun rises and with that, all the torture is put to stop. The sun is shining and Chernobog has to fulfill his deal. "Well, well. You did survive" he analyses. "Even if you cry a lot"

Kitty shakes her head as Chernobog is wearing an indigo face with golden eyes again. How cruel can he be? That´s the only explanation. The only...

"I´m a God of my word, Mein Frau, you´re free to go...hope we meet each other soon"

Kitty didn´t say anything as she used her key and leave that time. She still has the image of everything burned into her mind.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Kitty is back to her present. Having all the rocks needed for the ritual. Santa Claus thanks Kitty-the woman nods absently as her puffy red eyes are a given away of the level of this mission- then she stares at Kurt who has the same indigo fur and golden eyes.

"So...you´re Chernobog or is he or evil twin?"

"I´m Chernobog"

House of M Redone (part 6)

N/A: I didn´t put Reagan doing her evil-doing yet...time to correct that.

@muninandhugin @dannybagpipesarecalling @tieflingteeth

The party went on without a hitch. While one can argue this is not a fun party for young children- as the two princes are seeing walking around with their uncle in tow- no one can accuse this party of being indecent, so, therefore, there´s nothing stopping the presence of the twins.

Only they seem to disagree with this notion. Grimaces and pouting are their trademark response. Yes, this is a party safe for children but is not a fun one either.

Kitty covers her mouth at the sight of the young princes. The curves of her smile are too noticeable for a pair of golden eyes, of course, this observation is purely professional. See, Kurt takes his duties seriously.

"What?" her tone is saccharine and light as brown eyes are back to golden ones. "Have you personally meet the princes?"

He sent her a quizically stare. "Of course, they´ll be my bosses one day, so to speak, but...no child would think a party full of adults is cool...should see how they are with parties for their age" Kurt chuckles remembering that incident very well.

Kitty´s interest increase. "Is that a subtle way to ask me out again?"

"Well...I can´t ask you out as there´s no party planned ...yet" Kurt states and Kitty nods her head sagely. Dropping the subject for now. Looking around, no one can fault the young princes for being bored, because, Kurt is feeling a bit jaded himself too.

"Hey, wanna see something new?" whispering in her ear is totally necessary, after all, the music is being too loud. Sure, the music was not loud enough to "cloud" other´s people´s conversations. 

Kurt is paying attention to details.

Kurt is guiding her to the balcony. The colors of beige, golden and white follow the interior and exterior of the palace as Kitty can tell. The balcony has a privileged view of Genosha in all is wondrous.

Her mouth is agape for a few seconds. Kurt can let a smirk takes place for a few seconds too.

"Genosha is beautiful" her tone is breathless. In front of her is Genosha, all its light, are structures and its shadow. Kitty´s home is beautiful and she allows herself to relax. "Your childhood was here?"

"Nien" Kurt responds letting his weight rest on the balcony admiring his date, of course, is important to point out Kurt has professional reasons for that and nothing more. "Born in Germany" is not confidential information. "In Bavaria, my father is a count from there" again, not super-confidential, nor is something Kurt talks so freely.

Kitty blinks at him 3 times. "Oh, you really have blue blood then?" she asked now admiring the night. The moon is full and the stars are glowing. Maybe, they´re glowing for the Witch- Queen, or maybe is because Genosha has a low-level of pollution.

There´s a third option that is even sillier than thinking Wanda make the stars shinning. Kitty is not a romantic fool and won´t be one now. Her avert to the moon only as her pout is in place.

The third option is a lie. Always.

Kurt shurgs. A man with too many words usually means nothing. Is one of his father´s old saying.

"Enjoy the party?" Kurt asks confidently not minding Kitty staring so fixated on the moon. 

Kitty bites her lips. "I´m surprised, I thought you were using me to make someone jelly" Kitty can see the frown on his handsome blue face. "I kid, I kid. But in all honesty...this was a fun night" Kitty replies now looking his frown vanish.

"I´m glad...I usually don´t bring dates for those events, but, you know...I have to give a good impression"

Kitty nods. "Well, you´ll be happy to know that when I was part of the project GLADOS one of our top priorities is how to cause a superb impression in noble events" she winks at him.

"Sadly, we learn on the hard way the cake is a lie" she whispers in his pointy ear.

A deadpan stare is a response enough from Kurt. "Really? Portal to a teleport? You´ll never let me live this one down, will you?"

Kitty winks at him again.

Kurt only groans in response.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Suddenly, a commotion takes place, people start to run away and the words fire is the only thing anyone needs to hear. Kurt is the Red Guard and he puts his duties first. "Kitty, we need to get out" And he didn´t wait for a reply not take into account her surprised look as Kurt is more than willing and cable to teleport them away from the palace.

Once Kitty is on the floor and still looks at him funny. Kurt needs to clarify. "The palace is on fire" his urgency only further her confusion.

"Kurt, what are you talking about? There´s no fire" and her eyes land to see the palace completely fine.

And Kurt land to see the palace on fire. Kurt is the Red Guard. The man is ready to teleport and save the day along with his fellow Red Guard when Kitty puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Kurt, listen to me...there´s no fire...is all an illusion"

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Carol Danvers is one of the most powerful Avengers ever. To the point, Captain Marvel, the once Mar-Vell, saw something in Carol that was worthy to be his successor.

Of course, some people took negatively when Mar-Vell selects a woman to fill the role, so to speak, and of course, many rumors fly. It didn´t help Carol in the slightest the fact she used to date Mar-Vell- nevermind the fact it was way before she even discover her powers or even consider herself a heroine- some people are more than willing to be extremely petty if a woman takes the role.

Her blue eyes travel to where Wanda is. The Scarlet Witch. The strongest person Carol ever meet. A smile curls on her face as her sons gravitated towards her. Literally now.

Wanda and Carol are friends. Having friends is enough to face anything.

"FIRE!" is all Carol can hear as suddenly everything is pure chaos. 

She starts helping everyone to leave. She missed Wanda´s confused glare the Scarlet Witch.

"Everyone follow me" Carol starts using her Photon powers to put off the fire.

Wanda is completely confused as well as her sons and one of the guests, Ororo Monroe.

Carol is not the type to prank or trash places for no reason. Neither is Pietro and Lorna who are doing their best to put the fire out.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Outside of the palace, Kurt stares at Kitty for a solid minute. "An illusion? Then how come are you not being affected?"

Kitty blinks at this and sighs. "I´ve several students who have abilities similar...I got some immunity" better leave out how some teachers still struggle with illusions and how Jubilee is a victim of those...still.

(That´s how she meets Jono. He´s also immune to illusions and often stands by to help)

Kurt takes a deep sigh and looks at the fire once again. "Is not that I don´t believe you, I do...but I can´t stay still...even if the fire is an illusion, I´m a Red Guard, my loyalty goes to Genosha first and foremost" his tone is firm and without waiting any minute more. Kurt teleports.

Kitty watches the palace. Still no fire.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Kurt found Rogue in a minute-no one mentions how Rogue and Captain Marvel are working together- and while Kurt can see the fire, and 50% of people are behaving as one would do if you´re trapped in a fire trap of death. Kurt has enough common sense to notice the other 50% who is looking at the rest as if this is a poor and tasteless joke and is drinking without fear.

"There´s no fire...is an ILLUSION" Kurt recalls Kitty´s words.

Rogue and Cap Marvel send quizically stare at him.

Emma Frost has Felicity clung in her arm. "Oh, please, that´s all about? Of course, there´s no fire...any telepath worth of their salt can see this" Emma states.

Wanda supports Emma´s claim now seeing the bigger picture.

Kurt has a duty to uphold. Fire or no fire. "Everyone follows me, we'll leave the palace calmly. There´s no fire...is all an Illusion. It can´t hurt you" and so, a long queue is formed with people trying to be calm.

Some are using their powers to put out the invisible fire even if Kurt explains is no need.

Wanda wants answers.

 __________________________________________________________________________________________

Blink wears 

Reagan wears

Everyone is outside. The guests, the staff, including, of course, the royal family. Wanda used her powers- Emma offered to help, but it was a poor choice as Wanda is furious someone dares to do this to her home- in a minute everyone saw how never was any fire or danger.

Kurt looks discreetly at Kitty. She was right. Again. He can only send a thankfully smile towards her. She gets the message.

Meanwhile, a blonde woman with blue eyes and a black dress walks away not paying mind to anyone nor is anyone paying any mind to her. People are still speculating about the fire.

A woman with pink skin offers her arm to said blonde woman. "Reagan, is everything went as you planned?" she asked with a calm tone. Again, no one is paying them any mind.

Reagan smiles at her. "Blink, not even I could have predicted this...let´s go...take me home" and in a blink of eyes. The two women are gone.
