Harley fancied herself a bit of a speed demon, so she did her best to get herself and Omega Red to the Golden Pagoda as fast as possible. "They better not be closed, or I am going to be so bummed!" Harley shouted as she pulled the red sports car into a parking space in front of the restaurant. "Beast said the guy that runs this place is an immortal. His name is Lu, I think. All I know is that his food is yummy and that the X-Men have a running tab here, so we can eat until we burst! Well, not really burst. That would be super gross."
As she got out of the car, Harley smiled at Omega Red. "I'll bring in that monitor so we can go pound on some creeps if they are in the neighborhood. And hey, why does Wolverine get to do whatever he wants? That is so totally unfair! We aren't chopped liver!"

Omega Red's eyes were wide during the driving. He was not about to be impolite by informing Harley about her fast driving. ''Perhaps another restaurant will be open if this place isn't,'' he said. Omega Red smiled the minute he found himself in the parking lot. ''An immortal running a mere restaurant?'' Omega Red frowned and nodded at Harley after her comment about Wolverine.
''Imagine what would have occurred if we attacked that creature. We would have been imprisoned for life.'' Omega Red's smile returned. ''Perhaps we will be able to view Wolverine's remains after that creature ends his life.''

"That redhead he's married to would just magic him back together," Harley said with a frown as she and Arkady made their way to the front door of the Golden Pagoda. "That's funny. Why in the world do they have a sign like this on the door?"
The sign read:
To all who enter the Golden Pagoda:
This restaurant is more complicated than it looks.
"What the heck does that even mean?"Harley asked Omega Red as she pushed the door open and was met by a fresh fish flying at her head. "Who threw that?"
Then Harley realized the fish was actually flying as it zipped around her and went back inside.
"Oh! This is going to be insane! Maybe we have to catch our dinner, Omega Red!" she said with a big grin as she checked to make sure she had her baseball bat. "This may come in handy!"

Omega Red's eyes became wide for a moment. ''Our enemy is married?!'' He tried to remember red-haired women he might have crossed paths with. ''Wolverine is married to Jean Grey?!'' He shook his head in disbelief. His eyes remained wide.
That was when he viewed a sign. ''This restaurant is more complicated than it looks?'' Omega Red shrugged. He followed Harley into the restaurant. He gasped after he saw a flying fish. ''What was THAT?!''
Omega Red smiled at Harley's bat. He also had his coils in case anything occurred.

"No, he's married to that shorty short redhead with all the kiddos. The Irishy one," Harley said as she kept her eyes open for more flying fish but instead saw a group of people in red and purple robes singing karaoke. The flying fish seemed to be hanging out near them. "OK, this place is super weird," she said to Arkady as a man in a traditional looking blue brocade Chinese-style jacket and trousers came over to them.
"Welcome to the Golden Pagoda. I'm Lu Yan, the owner," the man said as the fish came flying at him again. "Ah! Stay away from me you crazy fish!" he yelled as he hit it with a frying pan that he kept under the stand where they made reservations. "Table for two? Do you want to be near the time portal, or would you prefer a table near the door? I have no idea who will be joining us this evening, and first timers might want to..."
"Time portal?" Harley asked as she interrupted the man. "Arkady? Did I hear that right?"

Curiosity filled Omega Red's eyes after he saw a bunch of people. He never performed concerts at all. It seemed like fun. Well, besides draining others' life forces. Omega Red considered harming others fun. He wondered if Harley was interested in performing.
Omega Red saw a man as the latter approached him. He nodded after the latter introduced himself. ''Time portal?'' Omega Red shrugged. ''It seems interesting. I'll sit wherever you wish to sit, Harley.''

"Time portal it is then!" Harley said with a big smile as she looked at Arkady. "Mr. Yan, who exactly comes here via a time portal anyway?"
"It depends on the night," he said as he grabbed two menus and motioned for Harley and Omega Red to follow him. "Last night we had Einstein sitting over there with...what was his name? He has those funny coils with the electricity..."
"Nicola Tesla!" one of the waiters shouted as he tossed a towel at the flying fish as is zipped past him. "Lousy tippers. And who ordered that silly fish anyway?"
"I think it was Napoleon!" another waiter yelled back to his compatriot, "but he left before the fish arrived. He had a hot date with someone, I guess!"
"Napoleon? On a date?" Harley asked as she looked at Arkady. "What kind off crazy place is this?"

Omega Red followed Mr. Yan at a snail's pace. He frowned. *You will be my enemy if Harley and I get revolting food!* he thought. Omega Red was thoughtful after he heard Napoleon mentioned. *I could be familiar with Napoleon. At least hearing about him,'' he said.

One of the hostesses at the restaurant walked two other patrons up behind Harley and Omega Red. "You have got to be kidding me," Alison said to Sasha as the hostess took them over to a table in the opposite direction that the other X-Men went in. "Beast really must have stock in this place if he is recommending it to everyone," she giggled as they got to their table. "I just wish he had told us it was so, uhm, over the top? The food is supposed to be fantastic, but the atmosphere is a bit out there, isn't it?" she said as the flying fish went past them and through the rippling time portal that stood behind a set of velvet ropes attached to silver poles. "And that is not something you see every day."

Sasha gasped after a flying fish went by him. He stepped back. He began to frown. *If one flying fish harms Alison...* he thought. Sasha's eyes widened behind his mask. ''Was it a good idea to follow Harley and Omega Red?'' he muttered.

Harley smiled as Omega Red held out her chair for her to sit down. "Thank you! Now let's have a look at those menus."
"Is this gonna be on the X-Men's running tab?" Lu Yan asked as Harley licked her lips and smiled at Arkady.
"Oh, absolutely!" she replied as she looked at the menu and then noticed Dazzler and her pal Sasha walking by. "Hey, Arkady, look who else decided dinner was a good idea?" she said as she motioned to the other X-Men. "I wonder if the flying fish will bother them?"

After sitting at a table, Omega Red glanced at a menu. ''Orange beef looks good. Maybe rice?'' He saw Alison with Sasha prior to a frown. ''Did Doctor Nemesis send those two to look after us?'' He smiled at the thought of a flying fish possibly attacking Sasha and Alison.
''I remember Sasha. He's the one interested in me. Just because I'm a Russian mutant just like him. Maybe it's also because we have the same color hair and length?'' Omega Red shrugged. He turned to the menu again.

"As long as they do not come over here and try to eat our food, I'm fine being in the same restaurant," Alison said to Sasha as she looked over at the portal again. "You don't think we'll need to catch our dinner, do you? That flying fish makes me wonder."
Dazzler looked at the menu and then noticed some diners looking over at her. "Oh boy. We may get fans coming over later. If they do, I'll try to get them over to a side areas so they don't disrupt your dinner, Sasha, or anyone else's either." As she flipped through the menu, Alison noticed the portal start to ripple again. "I wonder what that's all about? We're used to portals, but most people aren't. If I were some random tourist, I'd freak out."

''Harley and Omega Red are villains. They may try to hurt others here. They may hurt you,'' Sasha said. His eyes were filled with worry. Sasha glanced at Harley and Omega Red. He had to keep his eye on them.
Sasha turned to the flying fish. He almost forgot all about them. ''Hopefully the flying fish won't bother us.'' Sasha faced Alison again. He looked sheepish after she mentioned enthusiasts. He also almost forgot she was a singer.
''I just remembered. Craig Dragotti was a singer every now and then. What are your thoughts about performing with him?''

"I don't think Doc McCrankyCrank sent them to watch us," Harley said as looked at the menu. "He better not have anyway! Moo Shoo Pork. Peking Duck. This all sounds so good!" Harley kept looking at the menu as she thought about what Omega Red said. "Well, besides you and Colossus and that sister of his, there aren't too many Russians with the X-Men. And that guy from the other dimension. Bogatyr or something? He always runs off when he sees me. I think he's more chicken than X-Man."
Harley started to wave to get the waiter's attention, and he moved toward the table but was suddenly felled by something flying out of the portal. "What the hell was that?" Harley yelled as she grabbed her bat and got ready to see what else was coming out of the portal. Then she looked at the waiter and saw he had some sort of knife or dagger on the floor next to him. "Hey, is that guy dead?" Harley asked as she looked at Omega Red. "I think the handle hit him in the head. I don't see any blood."
