James faced Dorcha. His eyes increased in size again. He began to frown at the same time. ''A vampire queen? I saw dragons, gnomes, spirits, etc. Never vampire queens.''
James turned to Craig. He scowled and trembled after he heard the latter's words. James sputtered. ''I don't seem like a gentleman? I had the best teachers during my boyhood. Bishops educated me! Mum showed me how to treat women with respect.''
Tears formed in the man's eyes again. His lower lip trembled. ''Mummy?'' His frown came back.
''I am indeed a pirate, but I'm also a gentleman. I will always be a gentleman.''

"Cicero is very, very loyal," Blackwell said to James with a big grin. "I just keep these things on hand in case I'm with Craig and Jack and the poor creature gets peckish. Shalandra sends her regards, Craig. She will try to be here later, but the poor dear is very busy since that attack on the Mystic Council. Thank you again, Mira, for getting everyone here to safety."
Alastair did not talk about the attack on the Mystic Council much. A few members of the Council Police perished that day at the hands of the group now known as The Choir, and more would have died had it not been for Mira's power set and her keen ability to scare the devil out of intruders while getting others to safety.
"Here, Craig," Blackwell said as he got more of the biscuits from his pocket and handed them to the reformed mob boss. "In case Cicero gets hungry later. I may end up doing security duty tonight. It seems some loonie lot called Purity and another called the Friends of Humanity plan to protest the wedding. They seem to be as cracked as that group from the southern church the protests all over the place. We plan to put up a force field as soon as all the guests arrive. The father of the bride is still not here for starters, so that is making matters delicate."

James tilted his head to one side after Shalandra was mentioned. He began to shrug. He viewed Blackwell parting with biscuits. The corner of his mouth reached his eye. ''You are not clumsy like Cookson when it comes to parting with food, Blackwell. I respect that,'' he said in a sincere tone.
James rolled his eyes. ''I can imagine Cookson getting food everywhere as he tries to feed every guest. His cooking might just kill everyone! Cookson might even add flies to food. I remember yelling at him for hours after he added a fly to my food. I almost fed him to the crocodile that devoured my hand.''
James turned to Blackwell. He glanced from him to his hook. His smile came back. ''I'll be more than happy to... get rid of protesters for you, Blackwell.''

"Just a second," Erinyes said to Major Domo as she listened to his concerns. She waved her hand and did a small incantation, and that enabled her to hear conversations around the entire area of the wedding. "Some groups called Purity and Friends of Humanity according to the man with the big barrel. No one seems to be mentioning Mojo or Spiral, but I'll keep tabs on it."
Erinyes took Major Domo's words to heart about something bad happening here today. "I can understand why this is worrying you, my friend. Too many factions. Too many powered people in one spot. It would be just as easy for them to fight as to get along. I hope no one here starts a fight. This is supposed to be a happy event. We have all dealt with too much pain and sadness. I'm just glad you helped to find my brothers, Major Domo. That is one thing that has brought me great happiness. Another is our friendship."
As she smiled at her friend, Erinyes thought about all they had been through. He was a true and loyal friend.
"Later we should enjoy ourselves and dance," she added as she watched Joshua walk away with Kendra for a bit. "I'm sure they will."

Craig frowned at James. ''The gentleman behavior is a disguise, James. It conceals your true pirate nature. I was a mob boss, but I switched to being heroic.'' At least James would have respected Isabella Dragotti. Tears formed in Craig's eyes for a moment.
Craig turned to Blackwell. Interest caused his eyes to widen. ''Shalandra? I never forgot about Shalandra at all. I'll be looking forward to seeing her after she arrives.'' Craig looked sheepish. ''IF Shalandra arrives,'' he muttered under his breath.
A smile formed on Craig's face after he took biscuits. ''Thanks,'' he said. He turned to Cicero. ''Are you still hungry, Cicero?'' he asked. Craig heard the wyvern. ''You can eat biscuits later,'' he said.

Major Domo watched as Erinyes waved her hand. He heard every word from her. ''Purity? Friends of Humanity? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with them at all.'' Major Domo shrugged. ''That's good about nobody mentioning Spiral or Mojo.''
Major Domo began to glance at the guests again. ''I'm a bit shocked about the lack of battles now.'' Major Domo began to smile at Erinyes. ''Thank you for the kind words, Erinyes. I was more than happy to aid you. I'm also glad we are friends.''

"I wouldn't worry about Aleera guys. I have had personal dealings with her and while she is an elder vampiress she is no enemy to us. In fact she has gone out of her way to keep the lines clear between our camps and not everyone in her tribe is happy with it but being Dracula's bride well she does have pull hence being the Vampire queen." She added with a smile before looking at everyone. "If you guys excuse me I need to get to rehearsal before the festivities start to kick in to gear. Sean the groom is already here He is just over with AXL and the guys. Ill see you all later." She said before making her way over towards and onto the stage as Sean smiled at her. "Hey lass I was wondering if I needed to send out a signal flair for ye?" Erin just laughed and walked up to the MIC as Sean began to strum the guitar to see how the song sounded and Erin started to sing. (This is the song she is singing) youtu.be/wVWazHTunSI |

Major Domo wasn't sure about how long there were going to be happy expressions. Based on experience, the X-Men usually got into a kind of battle. At least from what he saw from the X-Men due to Mojo's television cameras recording everything they did. *I can see why Mojo always desired using the X-Men as his television stars. The X-Men weren't boring at all. Not to Mojo. Not to various audiences.*
Major Domo was worried another time. *Spiral and Mojo won't locate me. Why am I worried? I can't bear the thought of Mojo and Spiral harming Erinyes or her family. What could I do to protect them? I suppose I could guard them.*

Sasha's eyes remained on the wyvern. He faced Alison. ''Maybe we can adopt a wyvern of our own, Alison. Then again, I don't know anything about taking care of wyverns. They are cute. They seem to eat quite a bit.''
Sasha noticed Erin and the voice. His eyes were wide with wonder. ''The lady's vocals are nice* he thought. He wasn't sure if he recognized her. Sasha made sure not to be noisy. Why disrupt a performance?
Sasha smiled at the memory of Craig performing karaoke. He always rolled his eyes near the stage. Sometimes he fell asleep while Craig performed. At least he actually enjoyed Erin's performance.

Craig's eyes were wide during Erin's performance. They began to settle on her. *What a gorgeous voice!* he thought. Craig smiled again. Her performance reminded him of when he performed karaoke. He proceeded to smile at Cicero.
''I never forgot about you, my pet.'' Craig scratched Cicero's face. ''You won't roll your eyes if I perform karaoke. You won't fall asleep.'' Craig glanced at Sasha and frowned. ''You won't be impolite like certain others.''

Maeve was ticked beyond words that she had to deal with what she considered minor X-Men business today of all days, so of course she was late getting to The Conservatory for the wedding preparations. Scott and Emma had been set to talk to some folks from SHIELD, but because she knew Jack O'Neill, she was roped into a lunatic video conference call with some suited individuals in their offices in Washington. They asked a lot of stupid questions about nothing in particular, so she was very glad to be far away from them now.
"I am going to read Jack the riot act, and Scott and Emma, too," she muttered as she finally cleared the gates and headed for the stage area. "If I have missed any of this wedding..." she kept saying to herself until she got close enough to the stage to hear Erin singing. She found an empty chair near the stage and sat down to listen to her daughter sing. As long as she had not missed Erin singing and the actual exchange of vows, then she could start to calm down about that madness before.

"Maybe, for once, things will go according to plan," Erinyes said to Major Domo as she continued to look around. "There are people here from SHIELD and MI-13 from the United Kingdom, so I hope they can keep this place safe while the rest of us enjoy ourselves. I know you are very worried about all this, but I want you to have fun as well."
Erinyes looked over to see people moving toward one of the seating areas near a large bower of flowers. "Oh, I wonder if they will be starting the ceremony soon? I hope so. I'm not used to such fancy events. I wish the happy couple well, I really do, but in my world, weddings were more contractual things than celebrations of love."

Erin smiled seeing her mother had made it and had taken a seat near the stage. The vampiress was allowed one more song before Sean had to be taken back to finish getting prepared for the wedding. This mini concert was the opening act to the wedding itself. She looked back at Sean and the others behind her and Sean just smiled. "This is your part of the joy of this day let it show."He said as she smiled back and went back to the mic as the opening guitar notes started as she closed her eyes and let the music take her. As Sean played with the others he couldn't help but smile at Erin. She had come such a long way in a short time and had really let her inner beauty as a vampiress come out. He was proud of her along with the rest of her family. As she finished she stood back from the mic with a smile as she opened her eyes. "That was the opening act the real reason we are here is still to come so we better shuffle the Groom to be off to finish getting ready." She said as Sean and the others walked off stage and Erin jumped down running to Maeve. "I'm glad you made it mom."She said hugging her. Last song she sings. youtu.be/WHhTSPqKQRA |

Major Domo watched as a woman not familiar to him arrived. He tried to be careful about assuming the true nature of others. He watched as she was near the stage. *The woman doesn't seem to be a threat so far.* Major Domo viewed her sitting by the stage. *Good. The woman isn't attacking anyone here.*
Major Domo began to smile at Erinyes. ''Thanks. Although my idea of fun is seeing high ratings for television programs.'' One eye widened at the mention of weddings from where his companion was from. ''Zero actual affection between spouses in your world?'' He couldn't imagine people marrying one another due to contracts instead of actual affection.

''I can get rid of every protester, Blackwell. I was able to disarm my elder brother and he was a great pirate.'' Captain Hook never mentioned Peter Pan defeating him multiple times. He saw his hook another time. He looked forward to using it on enemies. ''Let our enemies arrive.''
Captain Hook's smile stretched from ear to ear. ''I'll protect every wedding guest here.'' His shoulders slumped. A sudden frown replaced his smile. *I couldn't protect my betrothed after my brother captured her ship. I will protect everyone this time.*
Captain Hook turned to Craig and still frowned. *Perhaps with the exception of Craig Dragotti. He isn't a gentleman. The protesters can do whatever they want to him.* Captain Hook smiled again. The corner of his mouth almost reached his eye.
