Alexander William Diaz a.k.a. Warp Warp turned at the sound of Shadow Walker's voice and then instead of answering quickly picked up a sketchpad and a pencil and did a rough sketch of the building. "These are the core instructional mainframes of the building. If any of these columns are compromised the whole building could collapse. I need these checked entirely. We can go together. Get the rest of the Brotherhood to handle any falling debris that may endanger pedestrians."
Warp was entirely in leadership mode at the moment, his lazy demeanor he took at times gone. His irritation with Blink gone. He was strictly business concerned about protecting others of Genosha. It showed for once why he wasn't made the leader of Genosha merely for his remarkable power.

??????????
The man that was not Myth turned around at the sudden arrival of this young lady. She was pretty and her remarkable hair only added to that in his eyes. Myth's memories told him that this young lady was named Blink. She was a teleporter. Before he could greet her and correct her on addressing him with a name that wasn't his, the dragon also noticed her. She roar out in rage and lashed out with her tail against the building before slamming it down on Blink.
"Whoa whoa, calm down girl. Calm down. She's not here to attack me. Calm down." The man said gently to the dragon. The Dragon sniffed out fire as she turned her head away to observe the places below. Her tail slid off of her back as well.
"I apologize young lady. She is rather protective of me and she won't allowed anyone else to ride her. You may stay for now as long as you keep that in mind." The man that was not Myth said with the same calm voice with a smile." Now tell me if you will, why are you here?"

Catherine Smithe my name is Shadow Walker Shadow Walker was right that her leader may need her. There was no time hesitate Just breath... Here goes... She emerged from his and the other homosuperior's shadow. She placed her hands on their shoulders, "Let's go". They dropped through their shadow. They emerged behind Sorcerer. "Guys hold on to me we need to get out we need to keep this place stable." As soon as she felt Calamity's and Sorcerer's hands on her they all dropped through their shadow and emerged outside near the building at a safe distance. They were outside when the dragon's tail struck. She tried to hold that spot together by using the darkness between the cracks. It seemed that all of the sudden, without warning she had to use so much of her power. She looked to Warp for direction while she continued to hold that one spot together. Odds are she would have Calamity strengthen the building at its weak points and who knows what he would ask of Sorcerer. She looked back to their home still standing they had to do something fast to make sure they have a place to go back to after all of this.

Felicia Carter ??? After a nap on for the rest of the trip Felicia stretched her arms after they just landed. "Ahhh home sweet-home?" She sensed quite a bit of tension with Cassandra and Dmitri, it was feeling uncomfortable. She felt a little relieved when Sebastian sent her off to go get Emma and Scott.
She went back to the mansion she called home among other students. Since she never went to their office before and hadn't really met Scott she focused on Emma's scent. Using her sense of smell lead her to their office. She knocked on the door and came in. "Hi Miss Emma, Mr. Scott... Dr.Arkain would like to speak to you in his lab."

My name is Blink though once upon a time I was called Aimee Perry {Location: Sky//Central Madagascar} { Wearing} Blink disapeared leaving a scent of cherry blossoms in her wake as the dragon tail lashed out at her. She kept appearing and disappearing around the dragon catching as the man tried to calm her down. During each jump she got out about three words, "Look, I'm... a teleporter... I can't... fly so... if you could... arrange... something... that doesn't... try to... kill me... or you... land... that would be..."
Irritated she finally gave up and just teleported them to grassy empty plane in Madagascar. "Welcome to the middle of no-where Madagascar," She said catching her breath, hands on her knees. She had managed to teleport the man, herself, and the dragon, and beads of sweat dripped down her neck. She pulled her hair back into it's side pony tail and said, "I want to talk and it's really hard when I have to talk teleporting constantly."
She glanced at Myth, realizing this man was not Myth or at least did not recognize himself as Myth the leader of the X-men. She took a deep breath, bowed as was typical of Japanese culture figuring that would be more appropriate than a hand shake, though the cliche made her want to vomit-she was about as Americanized as it got and hated any hint at her half Japanese roots. "I am Aimee," She said using her old homo-sapien name, a name she hadn't used in years. "The dragon endangered my home and my people, but I don't want to rush to conclusions, but I felt it was my duty to follow. A truce is far better than war, yes? A home is a sacred place is it not?"
There was a dragon, best to go with fantasy cliches, right? Good thing she was basically a literature major. And all those psychology classes couldn't hurt at the moment though she didn't remember the class on 'what to do when the X-men leader can't seem to remember who he is and summons a dragon'.

Alexander William Diaz a.k.a. Warp Warp pulled Shadow Walker back with his hand and focused one of his forcefields in the area, completely restoring the area. "Shadow Walker, you're transportation only. We can't lose the ease of a teleporter and Blink is currently preoccupied with a dragon right now so that just leaves you."
He glanced over at Calamity and Sorcerer and said, "I don't know how much either of you know about engineering but we need to keep this building standing and not falling apart. In the sketch book there," A sketchbook formed open to the crude drawing he drew floating in a forcefield, "I drew the integral structure of this building. We need to make sure those parts are in tact first. A lot of lives could be lost if this building goes down."
"Also, I don't want any falling debris to be a problem," Warp continued. "My range is about ten feet-so I'm relying on you lot to help. If anyone gets hurt bring them to me immediately. Shadow Walker will be our transportation only. The focus is the building only, got that?"

Emma Frost Emma and Scott were sitting at her desk drinking coffee. Scott stood when Felicia entered but Emma didn't even bother looking up. "I assume this is about the loss of Dean and the little rescue mission Sebastian did 'behind my back' to save Cassie," Emma sighed, finally looking up. She stood and said, "Well, we should at least make sure Cassandra doesn't try to kill Dmitri at the very least." Setting down her coffee she motioned towards Scott, "Scott, darling, come on. Let's see what our resident scientist has to say to us." He sighed and followed her quickly taking the lead. Emma paused and ruffled Felicia's hair, "Don't worry. I'm not mad. I knew it was bound to happen anyways. And Cassie won't really kill Dmitri. She might break his nose again, but that's only if he doesn't raise his guard against her. Well, Miss Carter, care to join us, I'm sure the initial reunion between the two is over by now, anyways."

Dean Nixon a.k.a. Myth
The man looked around him surprised. The young lady had preformed an impressive feat. Teleporting him, herself and his dragon.
"Impressive, young lady." He said praising her ability. His dragon was not as pleased as he was. He patted her on the back." Stretch your wings for a while dear. This lady wants to talk." The man that was not Myth escorted the young lady off of his dragon. The moment they were off she stretched her wings to their full span. An equally impressive thing to see. It ran off to get some speed before flying off with it's massive wings. He saw her off with a smile.
The man turned to the young lady who introduced herself with a Japanese styled bow. He returned the gesture. Aimee, a teleporter from Genosha. Also known as Blink. She was playing it safe with her human name. The man continued to listen as she talked. He nodded when she was done.
" Yes, home is sacred and a truce is far better than war. However, I was brought to that home and mentally assaulted. It was I that was endangered so I was forced to defend myself. There is no need for a war between us nor do I wish to endanger the lives of my people.." The man calmly stated." But where are my manners? I forced you to tire yourself. I apologize, please...sit."
Two gilded royal chairs adorned with various gemstones appeared next to them. In between those chairs stood a small gilded table with two golden cups. Resting on a small pedestal next to it stood the Cornucopia. A horn filled with an abundance of a sweet liquid.
The man pulled back a chair for her to sit on as any man should do. Then he took his own seat. Pouring from the horn, he gave Aimee a cup.
"Consider it my way of apologizing to you. Please, drink. Ambrosia was often consumed by the gods. It is said that it will bestow immortality to all who drink it. But I will not burden you with immortality. So you will not become immortal. I can assure you the taste will please you."

My name is Blink though once upon a time I was called Aimee Perry {Location: Central Madagascar} { Wearing} Blink sat down, having the distinct feeling of being chatted up in the weirdest singles bar that ever existed. She looked down at the Cornucopia and crossed her legs pulling down some on her denim mini skirt. She wasn't dressed the part of this at the very least.
She did not drink, though, and merely set the cup down with a sigh. "We are not the type to purposefully endanger our own kind, which we consider you. This is obviously a misunderstanding."
She sat back closed her eyes and considered how to proceed. "You know my name. You know my purpose. And I would not concern yourself about tiring me, I am well aware of my limits and stick within them. However, I only know you perceived a mental assault and lashed out at those who had nothing to do with it. I never did, however, get a name from you. And, my good sir, where I come from a name holds a great deal of importance."

Dean Nixon? a.k.a. Myth? The man smiled at her. He liked her. She had manner and knew how to converse. He did note that she did not drink while he did. Understandable in a way. She did not know him and he did 'lash' out with a dragon.
"To my defense, I did not know where I was at the time and would have shown considerable more restraint had I known. If anyone is to blame, it would be your leader for placing me there instead of a secluded place." The man replied and drank some more. No matter how much he drank of this, the taste would always amaze him.
"Regarding my name. I have lived with many names, lived in many countries. They hold very little meaning to me. Alcor, Ba'al,, Ganesha, Sanjaya. The list goes on. Dean Nixon is the newest addition and part of my current life. Myth is still the name I chose as a homo-superior." The man said as he overlooked the plains..

My name is Blink though once upon a time I was called Aimee Perry {Location: Central Madagascar} { Wearing} Her brown eyes narrowed at his explanation. She was well versed in literature, so she knew some mythology but was not well rooted in it. What he proposed sounded like past lives. That would be something the generally agnostic-if not atheistic-Warp would love to hear. Considering all the things she had seen in her lifetime, she decided to roll with the man's story.
"Myth should have been an Alpha level homo-superior and contained in that barrier," Blink said bluntly. "Your power was obviously underestimated. Furthermore, I don't bow to anyone. I swore not to a long time ago and have kept that promise to myself."
"My connection to Alexander William Diaz is that of a friend primarily," She stated. "Not that you may care, but he has been placed in a precarious position, for the higher you are placed the higher you fall." She sighed and continued, "He has far more on his plate than he should thanks to Magneto. Alexander never wanted to be leader but was placed there. Most of Genosha think of him as some god. I do believe that is a bit of a different situation than your Myth."

Dean Nixon a.k.a. Myth
Your eyes say you have a hard time believing my statement about my life. I am older than I look. That is all."
" Myth didn't want to be a leader either but he stepped up when they needed him. The students don't think of him as a god but a mentor or the devil at times. He would go out of his way to protect them all even if they go behind his back. They aren't that different from each other. I suppose Myth had a choice while Alexander did not have much. Or perhaps didn't say no out of a sense of obligation or debt." The man continued.
"And you are right. Myth is Alpha level if not slightly stronger. I made him that way. With Charles's help." He let out a sigh." I suppose Magneto would like a word with me. I do have to apologize to him."

My name is Blink though once upon a time I was called Aimee Perry {Location: Central Madagascar} { Wearing} "Screw Magneto," Blink said. "Sure Magneto has provided me my safe haven but I can't forgive so easily how he's warped Alexander for his own uses. Alexander became what he did to help his sister more than anything else. When I first met him he was as broken as I was-maybe he was worse off. Homo-superiors do different things to survive."
She sat back and said bluntly, "In Genosha you never have a choice no matter how you think it is. Perhaps the choice is better but there still is no choice, even if in the end you put off the choice for a time."
With a sigh she sat back forward and smiled, her pointed canines showing, "Of course, I doubt life itself gives us a choice... You were saying Charles Xavier made Myth. What does that make Myth then? A figment of imagination? Your human form? You'll have to excuse me, I'm not familiar with mythology beyond what is written in classic literature and referenced in psychology texts."

Dean Nixon a.k.a. Myth
The man nodded. Genosha...the land of mutants. Homo-superiors. A place where you are treated equally without racism against mutants. A fancy cage without true freedom. Still it was understandable for many mutants to go there. Not everybody is lucky enough to have their mutation on the inside instead of outside.
"There is always a choice. The consequences might too grave but the choice is there. Myth is....a fresh start. I have lived a long time. Immortality is a long time." The mans finger circled the edge of his cup. He looked a little sad as if he regretted something." The option of having all of my memories erased was there as well but for obvious reasons I did not take it. For a man who's power is linked to his knowledge that is not a good thing to do. We decided to create a new personality and seal me away including a portion of my power."
"You must understand that someone of my level is capable of affecting the world. I can create islands, destroy them just as easily. I can create an army of creatures to ravage this world. It was impossible to know what the future would bring to Myth so we limited his power for that reason. If he did end up under someone's control the result could be....catastrophic." The man said rubbing his hands.

My name is Blink though once upon a time I was called Aimee Perry {Location: Central Madagascar} { Wearing} "Ah... the true Omega level," Blink said with a smirk. She knew she should be afraid but she wasn't. The age that this man brought with him just brought a sadness and she truly doubted he meant her real harm. Besides with that power level it would be hard to run from harm anyways: what was the use of being afraid?
She frowned glancing away, "I don't know if you have the option but for the world's sake, if you are so concerned about it, is to destroy yourself. The story of a martyr has always been a romantic one. Well, to those of the modern day. Romans actually thought martyrs were idiots it was the Christians who instilled to us a more idealized view of the idea."
Glancing back her brown eyes narrowed she sat forward, "Professor Xavier isn't here anymore. Magneto would use you. Alexander would ask for your alliance to destroy what he sees as the greatest threat to his sister-the MRD, the Black Reaper, and Magneto. If you wander someone is bound to find you eventually, even if I sent you to Siberia or the North Pole or wherever... as I said I will not bow to anyone, but mind you my alliances lie in protecting those I love."
