Craig Dragotti gasped at the sight of Captain Hook. The other man seemed a bit taller than most men. His wide eyes settled on the hook. Did Craig wish to know how many others the pirate harmed or killed with the hook? He stood in front of Jack to protect him. He scowled at Captain James Hook.
Craig relaxed after Jack revealed Captain Hook was a friend. That was when he stepped to the side. He smiled the minute Captain Hook implied he liked him. A frown replaced his smile as soon as Captain Hook mentioned his mother. He saw a tear on the pirate's face. His expression was one of sympathy.
''Your mother is deceased, Captain Hook? You poor man. I know what it's like to lose a loved one. My wife...'' Craig's lower lip trembled. He took a breath. He trembled at the sight of the hook.
Craig's eyes became wide after Captain Hook treated Dana with respect. He usually never viewed men bowing near women recently. ''Your mother raised you right, Captain Hook,'' he said. Craig's eyes became wide another time. He forgot about how sensitive the pirate was about his mother. He expected Captain Hook to use his hook to mutilate him.

Major Domo saw a man with a hook for a hand. He gasped as his eyes became wide. He turned to Erinyes. ''Do you see the man with the hook, Erinyes? He seems terrifying. It's not just the hook itself. Something about that man bothers me.''
Major Domo wasn't sure if he was able to protect Erinyes in case the man tried anything. ''I'm not sure what the man is saying to Jack and Craig. The fellow doesn't seem to be harming them.'' Major Domo tilted his head in curiosity after Captain Hook removed his hat and bowed to Dana.
''Did you see that? That man seems to respect women. Hopefully he'll respect you if he sees you. I'm still a bit worried about that hook.'' Major Domo shrugged. ''Perhaps the gentleman's mother raised him the right way. Then again, he is a pirate. Maybe she didn't raise him right.''

"I am forgetting my manners," Jack said as he motioned to Erin, Dana and Pete. "This is Miss Dana MacFeorais, and her niece, Erin MacFeorais Summers. And this is Dana's...." Jack stopped as he searched for the appropriate words. "Companion I guess is the best word. Mister Pete Wisdom, head of the British spy agency MI-13."
Jack prayed Pete would keep his mouth shut, but the mention of this Ulfric person seemed to make the spy get antsy. "James, if I may, who is this Ulfric you are referring to? Is it that Norwegian pirate who always wanted us to eat that smelly fish? And how did he get a portal into or out of Neverland?"
The pirate then thought about James' harpsichord and how it was not here. "I know we cannot replace your harpsichord, but perhaps we can find you one that, while not the same, could fill the void? Someone in our lot of musicians must have one they can loan to you. Dana, what about your cousin Eamonn?"

OOC: I will app Dana ASAP. Need to find the old one.--K
IC:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain," Dana said as she bow slightly to Hook. "And as for the harpsichord, I am sure we can locate one if you are interested in getting one. My cousin runs a music company, so I am sure he could obtain one if requested."
Dana could almost sense Pete wanting to go into some frenzied question session, so she had to keep him in check before things got odd. {{I know. Another pirate that comes wandering into our lives. From a fairy tale. Is it any worse than Indiana Jones running around bringing Hank McCoy things from digs? You did have Martians on the lawn at Buckingham Palace a few years back}} she telepathically to her former, and possibly future, fiance.

Captain Hook began to smile at Erin and Pete. He removed his hat another time. He bowed in front of them. ''Greetings,'' Captain Hook said to them. His eyes were large with interest at the mention of Pete being British. ''It's always good coming across another Englishman.'' Captain Hook frowned. ''Maybe except my brother.''
Captain Hook faced Jack. He nodded at a snail's pace. ''I don't recall a whole lot about Ulfric. He seemed more like a god to me. I don't remember a whole lot about the portal. Everything occurred so quickly.''
Another smile formed on Captain Hook's face. ''You're eager to find another harpsichord? Sounds interesting. You have my thanks. How are we going to get the harpsichord to your place? At least Peter Pan won't almost wreck it this time.''
Captain Hook's smile remained. ''Forgive me for being impolite, Jack Sparrow. Am I going to remain with you? The Jolly Roger vanished with my crew.''
Captain Hook smiled at Dana for a moment. He usually never viewed women bowing. That was when he heard about the harpsichord again. ''Many thanks, my lady. I would love to obtain another harpsichord.'' He began to frown. His shoulders slumped.
''Mummy's picture...'' Another tear appeared in the corner of Captain Hook's eye. ''The portrait was the only thing that remained of my mother. Stupid Smee shrieked after he found the portrait and turned it into a ball. He tossed it out the window. I tried to obtain Mummy, but she fell in the water. I almost forced Smee to walk the plank. I still don't know why he shrieked at Mummy.''

"Boring, boring, why aren't people eating the heads off bats or something?" Harley muttered under her breath before her babysitter, Doc Nemesis, got a call from Wolverine and wandered off. "Oh, tall, blonde and Russian dead ahead," she said to herself with a smile as she spotted Omega Red. He probably should have scared her, but he really didn't. After what Weapon X had done to her, not much scared her anymore.
"So, Arkady, bored to tears yet?" she asked as she fixed the dress Nemesis had made her wear. "I am so bored, I want to go dive into the wedding cake. I thought X-Men weddings always broke out in fights. Lame. Just lame."

"Thank you, Dana!" Jack said as she offered to help find a harpsichord. Then Jack thought about getting it into his house. "You are most welcome to stay with us, James. I have more than enough room. When Mrs. Brown, my housekeeper, is finished visiting with everyone, I'll let her know about you joining our little group. Dana, about transporting the harpsichord..."
"If it is too large to fit into your doorway, it can be mystically shrunk and then returned to normal size once it's inside," Dana said as she looked around for Axl. "I'll bring Axl over later, and we can all chat about your harpsichord. If you still had the ball, Captain Hook, it is possible it could have been restored to its original form. Perhaps a locator spell could help get it back to you? One of my sisters could be of help. They are more magically-inclined than I am."
"Or we could have Tia Dalma do it," Jack said as he thought of his friend. "She has a spell of protection placed on my home. She might be able to locate what Smee took from you, but it might take time. Then again, she is a tad scary, right, Craig?"

Omega Red's eyes became wide after he heard a familiar voice. He turned his head. He smiled after he recognized Harley. ''It is good to see you, Harley.'' Omega Red nodded. ''To tell the truth, I'm not being entertained.''
Omega Red smiled at the thought of a battle. ''Although I am currently with the X-Men, one enemy remains. Wolverine. I don't know where he is right now.'' Omega Red began to focus on Harley. ''Perhaps we can find someone to battle outside. Far from the wedding guests,'' he said.

Captain Hook grinned and nodded at Jack. ''You have my gratitude, Jack Sparrow.'' He bit his lip. He held his hook up for a few moments. ''How will your housekeeper react to...?'' He waved the hook another time.
''A harpsichord that can shrink?'' Captain Hook asked. He tilted his head to one side. He frowned and shook his head. ''Water ruined Mummy's portrait. It is probably long gone, but I will be eternally grateful if your lady friend can obtain it. I don't care what the lady looks like. As long as she can obtain the most important object to me. Perhaps even more important than a man's harpsichord.''

Craig was thankful that Captain Hook never flew into a rage at the mention of his mother. He shuddered after Tia Dalma was mentioned. ''Do I have to be near Tia? She still frightens me.'' Craig forgot all about Tia until now. He was certain he would view her during a terrifying dream.
Craig decided to take his mind off of Tia. ''James, do you have any brothers or sisters? How many? Do you still keep in touch?'' Craig wondered if James was as emotional about possible siblings as he was about his mother. He decided not to ask about Captain Hook's father.

"Yeah, I do not want to get some fangs stuck in my neck here," Harley said to Omega Red as she motioned to some of the party guests. "Or get turned into a goat. Goats smell and act weird. My uncle had a goat. I hated that thing. He ate a party dress of mine when I was little. The goat. Not my uncle. He got killed because he owed a lot of money to a bookie. Cement shoes and right into Lake Michigan. My uncle. Not the goat."
Harley saw a waiter coming by with a big tray of drinks. "Want some bubbly before we split? Or do you want to get some food first? I've got that monitor thing on Nemesis gave me, so I can find some even worse, not-so-reformed bad guys for us to beat up on. Don't tell old Snow Top Nemesis, but I snagged his car keys," she said as she dangled them in front of Omega Red. "He never lets it race. Poor car must have a complex."

Omega Red glanced at a few guests. He grinned at Harley. ''Do not worry about the guests, Harley. I will protect you from vampires if they attack you.'' A coil slid out of his wrist opening. It returned to his wrist after a few moments.
Omega Red looked sympathetic after the tale about the goat. ''You poor girl,'' he said in a sympathetic tone. He tilted his head due to interest after the interesting tale of the uncle. ''Hopefully your uncle is happy in the afterlife.''
Omega Red shook his head about the drink. ''I am a bit hungry,'' he said. His eyes became wide after Harley revealed car keys. Omega Red grinned. ''I really like you now,'' he informed Harley. He scanned the area for food.

"He seems to be, for the moment anyway, non-threatening," Erinyes said to Major Domo as she tried not to stare at the man with the hook for a hand. "But if that changes, we will handle it. I hope he does not fall under the category of a wedding crasher."
"No, that title goes to The Neo," Kendra said as Bethany gave her an odd look. "They are another group of genetically-evolved humans. The live all over the globe in tribes. They thought Kitty Pryde was one of them a few years back, so Stalik got into it with a few of them. They started a huge fight at Harry's Hideaway back in Salem Center. But we haven't seen them in years. Maybe they found a new bunch of people to annoy?"
"I certainly hope so," Erinyes said as she placed her hand on Major Domo's arm. "I am sure we will be fine. If you are afraid things might get dangerous, we can leave. I don't mind. It isn't like we are very close with the bride or the groom."

''A wedding crasher? I never considered that possibility,'' Major Domo said. The corners of his mouth went down as worry filled his eyes. He shook his head. ''I'm certain the man with the hook for a hand is a wedding guest.'' He heard Kendra as the latter spoke.
''Hopefully we will never come across The Neo, Erinyes,'' Major Domo said. He didn't seem to mind her touching his arm. ''I'll do whatever you want to do, Erinyes. We can remain here or depart.''

"For now I think we'll be fine," Erinyes said as she smiled at Major Domo. "No one is acting too badly yet, not even Omega Red and Harley. She drank all of Deadpool's beer last week, and I thought they'd kill each other."
"Wade is a little cuckoo when it comes to his brewskies," Kendra said before she turned and saw a very tall woman carrying a shield and spear walk past them. "Get out! She actually came to the wedding?"
"Who?" Erinyes asked as she turned and watched the woman disappear into the crowd.
"She's a real Amazon warrior. Her name is Antandre. She's related to Miri Rydenborne, I think," Kendra replied as she seemed to get flustered by the sight of the woman. "We have got to see if she is going to hold training sessions!"
"We do?" Erinyes said as she made a funny face before turning back to Major Domo. "I think we can pass. I think I'd prefer to eat something right now. Major Domo, let's check out the buffet table back there," Erinyes said as she started to walk slowly away from Kendra and Joshua. "We'll be back shortly," she said as she guided her friend by the arm. "Amazons scare me. The ones in my world hated men. I do not need to be trained by one, even if she is the rare exception that does not hate men."
