Emma breathed a sigh of relief as Megan offered to take her bags into the White Queen's office so she could have time to talk with Claire. The two women walked into the kitchen, and Emma quickly checked to see if Deadpool or Quentin Quire were nearby. The two had gotten into a dust-up a few weeks back, and Quentin vowed to pummel Wade with old vegetables the next time they crossed paths.
"Let's see if the marauding hordes left any food," Emma said as she motioned for Claire to take a seat at the island in the kitchen. "I mean decent food. Not Hot Pockets or Jolt Cola. Ah. Monet left this. Smart girl," Emma said as she took out a bottle of Shiraz and then looked around until she found some freshly made gazpacho. "Our new cook is actually quite good. Will this do for now?"
A couple of students were walking in but beat a hasty retreat when Emma cast a glance at them.
"I think they are afraid I'll turn them into frogs. That is not my specialty," Emma said with a slight smile. "I'm sure you're likely feeling lost, Claire. How can I help?"

"Yes mother that will be just fine."Claire responded with a smile. As she walked over she stopped for a moment. "I better get into some normal clothes I don't want to freak anyone out too badly."She said as a light flame coated her and her uniform vanished and in it's place was a white t shirt with a small Phoenix symbol on it, a pair of slim jeans with a belt with a X-MEN logo on the buckle and leather boots. Claire was her mothers daughter when it came to fashion that was obvious.
She walked over sitting down as Emma asked her how she could help her. "I feel like a fish out of water is all. I am getting used to my own body for the first time in what feels like ages. Also learning to recheck what I am feeling emotion wise. For Phoenix born that is always of major importance. Sometimes I wonder why the Phoenix chose to connect our line to it but as Jessie said we all find out why when the time is right."

As Emma and Claire sat and tried to start piecing everything together, Emma felt a jolt from Maddie Pryor. She looped Claire into their chat.
{{Madelyne, what do you want now?}} Emma asked telepathically as she poured Claire some wine. {{And if you want to talk to Jessie, she isn't here at the moment}}
{{I know that!}} Maddie snapped back. {{And apologies to you, Claire, but Jessie is under attack at the wedding. The attacker has taken the fight to the astral plane, and Jessie needs your help, Emma, and yours too, Claire. Jean is on the astral plane, and I'm physically at the wedding trying to take out this woman attacking Jessie. I fear it's connected to Selene}}
"Are you up to help Jessie, Claire," Emma asked, "or should I go this one alone?"

Claire sat silently as she thought about what Jessie might have been going through. She stood up looking at Emma. "Mother that is my sister....If she is in danger I wouldn't be anywhere else then trying to get her out of what she is going through." She responded with a smile before adding.
"Family is family." A flicker of fire in her eyes.

Emma nodded to Claire and then looped in Jean and Maddie. {{If Elizabeth is nearby, we should bring her aboard. I take it, Maddie, you will bring in Mrs. Howlett before this dance is finished?}} Emma was sure this was all some mystically-driven disaster waiting to happen, but better to have the avatar of the Morrigan on their side than against it. {{Or has this interloper taken down the usual mystic heavyweights at the wedding?}}
{{As far as I can tell, they are all being attacked by possessed protesters and overly zealous plant life, but that's it}} Maddie replied as she felt Emma and Claire fully enter the astral plane.
OOC: We can post Emma & Claire in both posts now, Chris--posting there next

OOC: So everyone knows, I will be posting Ms. Frost in multiple threads simultaneously, so this will cross with the Sebastian Shaw thread in New York.
IC:
After the whole fiasco that was the wedding seemed to shift locations, Emma and Claire mentally shifted back to the kitchen as well.
The phone in the kitchen rang as Emma and Claire chatted. "We really need to work on getting an assistant to handle the phones," she said to her daughter as she picked up the receiver.
What Emma didn't say was that this was a private line that few outside the X-Men knew about.
"This is Emma Frost," she said in a decidedly cool tone. "But I am guessing you knew that. Oh."
Emma looked at Claire and made a very unpleasant face as she finally used the name of the caller.
"Sebastian, to what to I owe...what do you want?"

"You will what now?" Emma asked as she paced around the kitchen that was, thankfully, very far away from Shaw at the moment. "Take Selene off our hands? Seriously?"
Emma took a deep breath before continuing with the call. She knew Shaw was hitting all her "hot buttons" during his chat to this point. If he thought she had not considered the problems with housing Selene in their base--anywhere in their base--he was sadly mistaken. She knew all too well that having Selene anywhere near the students or her fellow X-Men was a deadly crap shoot.
"And, pray tell, where will you house your dear Black Queen, Sebastian? And why should I be silly enough to think you aren't, in some fashion, party to whatever her latest plan is? That fop Emil Desmarais can't be the brains and money for her little war, and those coven members of hers that were taken in with her are not exactly of your caliber either."
Emma had half a mind to haul Shaw onto the astral plane, but she thought better of it.
"I take it you would like a face-to-face meeting, Sebastian? Time and place, please."
{{Claire, would you mind going with me on this little trip to see Sebastian Shaw?}} Emma asked telepathically as she waited for Shaw to reply. {{I trust him as much as I trust Selene}}

Claire was quick to respond to her mothers request {"If you need assistance mother I will gladly be at your side."}She said lovingly. She knew the name her mother uttered very well and it always gave Claire a disgusted feeling.

Emma seethed as she hung up the phone on her end. "Checkmate, Sebastian," she said as she turned to Claire. "Fancy a trip to Los Angeles with me? We can do some shopping in Beverly Hills after I take care of my old friend the Black King. He is not going to get Selene. If he wants a Black Queen, he will have to recruit one. "
OOC: will open a new thread in Los Angeles (will make a greater California forum in a bit)

Claire smiled simply. "Mother Ill always be happy to assist you. Besides we need to do some talking which I've been waiting for a long time to do. It feels like an eternity since I was on any plain of existence."She responded.

Emma smiled at Claire as she checked one of the computer consoles in the kitchen. "Let's stop off in my room to change, and then we can be on our way. We can take one of the new helicopters Warren gifted us with to Los Angeles," Emma said as she and Claire exited the kitchen. OOC: Chris, story continues here: Truth Bomb post |
