Pray this is not just another X-Men wedding!

[Omega Red]

Omega Red glowered after he heard a variety of loud sounds. He heard voices from the gates and Captain Hook's voice. He turned to Harley. ''Others are too noisy here, Harley. Are loud people usually attending weddings?'' Omega Red shook his head in disbelief. 

[Sasha Sadovsky]

Concern filled Sasha's eyes after he heard voices from the gates. He forgot about wyverns for a moment. He glanced at Alison. ''Should we go to the gates? Perhaps we can protect someone,'' Sasha said. There was still worry in his eyes.

[Major Domo]

Major Domo was still shocked about everything he just heard. ''I will never abandon you, Erinyes. I'll still protect you.'' Major Domo couldn't imagine how difficult it was for Erinyes to discover new information. At least Spiral and Mojo weren't present. He tried to think of a way to comfort Erinyes.

[Isabella Dragotti]

One corner of Isabella's mouth went up. ''My spouse will be a weak kitten crying for his mother,'' she muttered under her breath. Her eyes settled on bread for a second. Isabella took bread and ate a bit. She thought she heard a man's loud voice earlier. Perhaps it was her mere imagination.

Isabella tried to imagine ways of tormenting her ex-spouse. Death was not what she had in mind. Corpses never suffered. Craig Dragotti was most certainly not going to be with Selene's coven. Isabella took another bite of bread. Food was going to be gone. Just like Craig after he was removed from the wedding. 

[DORCHA]

Mira grumbled as she saw what was going on at the front gate and Jack's suggestion there may not be a wedding today was enough for the mage. "If you all will excuse me for a moment." She said as she made her way over to the front gate the look on her face looked like she could kill. "JACKSON!" She roared. "I will not accept this not today or any other day. I may be related the groom but I am also part of the mystic council and I will not tolerate this outburst here. Your daughter has made it clear she intends to marry Sean and you have been warned repeatedly to calm down or you will be ejected....This latest revelation of what you have been up to is just disgusting and I have seen some truly evil things. Leave now and I will not bring charges against you for what you've done.....If you don't well you may not even have to wait for charges and I will relieve your head from it's neck myself!"

[LADY THOR]

{"Liam the ascension seem to go just as everyone hoped it would. My father is not taking the position lightly and I fear he may have to step into the role of leader as well as king a lot sooner then many of us would have liked....I fear there is darkness on the horizon."} She moved closer as Liam stopped. {"I think it just got more tense. I know how Mira is she is incredibly protective of family and takes her position dealing with mystical affairs quite seriously. If he has any sense he will stand down."}

[Isabella Dragotti]

Isabella finished eating bread. After taking another piece, she bit into it. ''A mere appetizer for the main course. Revenge! It should be sweet, but it will be supper instead. Perhaps I can drink Craig's tears,'' Isabella muttered.

[Black Queen]

''Mistress, are you able to create illusions? I have something or someone in mind for after we capture my younger brother."

Selene gracefully turned to meet the gaze of Jasper, "Of course.  Such a trick is easy for one such as I.  You must be prepared for what it about to happen.  Exact your revenge with no hesitations." Selene turned back to the wedding scene.  "The Mystic Council is being represented here.  They can be quite bothersome."  The tension of the wedding scene was thick.  Everyone was unnerved already.  Many people were strangers, and with the glamour over Selene's coven, no one batted an eye in their direction.

{Jasper, open you're mind to me.  Through my might, your imagination may run free.}  Selene probed Jasper's mind for the illusion.  It was an easy talent for a sorceress of her age.  Not only that, but she could easily use her telepathy as well.  The illusion could be made visible for only one person or the whole group.

"If you'll excuse me..." Selene didn't wait for Jasper to respond.  Instead, she made her way slowly through the crowd, playing the part of a guest, smiling and saying hello until she reached a certain bright-haired young woman.  "Miss, Sorry to bother you... but I just can't shake the feeling that I know you somehow.  Perhaps a past life though, because I certainly can't recall."  Selene, appearing as a beautiful blonde in a black silk dress, laughed as she met Jessie Grey.  

The Black Queen's eyes turned white as snow simultaneously as she reached out to the inanimate matter control nearby.  The ground and the chairs wedding guests were sitting on came to life, forming into tendrils reaching out and wrapping up their legs, essentially capturing them, Jessie included.  Selene knew the matter wasn't strong enough for many in attendance.  Anyone with super strength would be able to free themselves.  Certainly, some would feel something amiss and move out of the fray.  Others had their super abilities to rely on to free themselves from Selene's chains.  But for some... especially those without super abilities, they would be trapped and helpless, waiting for someone else to free them... And others had their own concerns.

Jasper's brother would be tormented by Selene's illusions, trapped by her tendrils if he wasn't able to get free. 

Selene did not expect Jessie Grey's presence at the wedding, but she was thrilled by her appearance.  As the mayhem was just beginning, Selene began revealing herself through the illusion that was cast.  She laughed as her blonde hair slowly faded into the raven hair for which she was known.  "Hello again Jessie.  It has been so long, and I adore the treasured memories of our time together."  Selene mocked.  "I see what kind of people you've surrounded yourself with, and dare I say, you missed me." Selene was cackling.  Meanwhile some of the weaker attendees screamed out as the matter wrapped around them squeezed tighter.

Selene and Jessie Grey had quite the history.  Jessie's sheer power was coveted by the Black Queen.  Selene held the advantage with thousands of years of experience fine tuning her abilities to the point that she could run circles around the young Phoenix, but in the end, Jessie was stronger and overcame Selene's influence.

((OOC: It's a simple attack Selene's used time and time again.  Basically, the ground and the chairs are being warped into tentacle like things grabbing people.  Your characters may dodge, struggle, break through, whatever you like to do!  Have fun with it! A struggle is nice every once in a while too!  Time to get the fun rolling MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jasper, feel free to use those illusions to your liking))

[Captain Jasper Hook]

Jasper smiled at the thought of exacting his revenge with no hesitations. ''Our mother was important to Jamie Hook. She is still important to him,'' he said. Jasper remembered a blonde woman wearing a long dress. His mother was hideous to most. Not so hideous to other people such as Peter Pan.

*Perhaps I'll summon my younger brother's betrothed later. Our mother is the one he remembers the most. I was originally going to just mention our mother. Creating a mere illusion of her is just as fun. I'm looking forward to seeing James Hook's expression.* After concentrating, Jasper's disguise shattered and revealed his true self.

A large hat remained on his head. His boots matched the color of his shoulder length hair. His grey coat reached his legs. Jasper's blouse didn't have a speck of dust on it.

Jasper smiled at his younger brother. He approached him. ''A family reunion, little brother,'' he said.

[Captain James Hook]

Captain James Hook's eyes were wide after tendrils wrapped around his limbs. Scowling, he struggled. He disregarded his hat after it fell on the floor. Captain Hook looked ahead. He gasped as soon as he saw his mother. He recognized her dress and smile.

''Mother?'' Captain Hook muttered. He looked to one side for a moment. ''This a mere illusion! I won't be fooled!'' Frowning, Captain Hook saw the illusion again. He shook his head in disbelief. 

''You departed from this world long ago,'' Captain Hook said. His mother looked real to him. A smile materialized on his face. ''I became a pirate just like you wanted me to.'' 

James Hook's mother continued to smile. She touched her son's face and rubbed near his eye. She saw a tear. After stepping back, she began to decay. 

''Mum?'' Captain Hook asked with wide eyes. He shook his head another time. His lower lip trembled. Tears ran down Captain Hook's face. He focused on the illusion's skeletal features. Her empty eye sockets. Her long teeth.

Captain Hook never saw his older sibling. Tears still ran down his face. He began to sob. The illusion was a reminder of his mother's death. Captain Hook continued sobbing. His shoulders moved up and down with every sob.


 

[Craig Dragotti]

Craig gasped the minute tendrils wrapped around his limbs. He proceeded to struggle. He tilted his head to one side in confusion as Captain Hook sobbed uncontrollably. His eyes became wide. *A sad pirate captain? Perhaps he remembered his mother?* he thought. 

Craig never saw anything or anyone in front of Captain Hook. It was as though the illusion was visible to one person. Concern filled his eyes. ''Everything will be fine, Captain Hook. I'm here. I will be someone you can be with,'' he said in a sincere tone.

Captain Hook might have been the loudmouth with the hook, but he shouldn't have suffered like now.

Craig thought Captain Hook mentioned his mother. ''Are you viewing your mother's spirit, Captain Hook?'' He never got a reply from him. Craig struggled again. 

[BENNU]

Jessie's eyes clouded to a dark black and in a show of raw power the tendrils around her exploded as well as Ewan. The face that was in front of her was someone she never thought she would see or wanted to see again and for her and her minions to show up on such a joyous day....She was pushing all the right buttons.

"YOU!"She roared as her dress burned away to her Phoenix garb. "HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE!" The hatred Jessie felt towards the Black Queen was something very few had ever experienced. True under her influence Jessie's power had been unleashed but as a result she had lost some of her humanity and it was only the love of her friends and family that brought her back from the edge of the abyss. Her mothers return had helped tremendously bringing her back from the darkness much like Jessie had done with Jean herself but with Selene's emergence that anger had come to the surface once again.

"My company has vastly improved over my time with you witch." She continued as her voice took on an echo to it. The Black Queen's handy work was still just as present now then it was all those months ago while Jessie was the Black Princess. "You never wanted to guide me you wanted my power and here you are again turning the key on Pandora's box." She wanted nothing more then to unleash the full fury of the Phoenix on the Black Queen but that would be a disaster.

[Captain Jasper Hook]

Jasper's smile stretched from ear to ear. He enjoyed viewing Captain Hook's tears. *My younger brother doesn't see me. That's not a problem. Jamie Hook is sobbing uncontrollably now* he thought. Jasper slapped James before the latter shrieked and sobbed at the same time. 

[Isabella Dragotti]

Isabella smiled as she walked to Craig. Her eyes settled on the latter's shocked expression. She viewed Craig shaking his head in disbelief. '''Till death do us part, Craig. You will suffer just like your sobbing friend.'' Isabella slapped Craig and knocked him down. She smiled as he sobbed with Captain Hook.

[Harley]

"People at weddings can get pretty stupid drunk and very, very loud," Harley said as she looked at Omega Red. Then she looked down when she felt something wrap around her ankles. "Hello, snake face!" she shouted, realizing a bit too late that it was a plant and not a reptile making itself a nuisance at the moment. "Now, what do we have here? Somebody invite that lady plant professor from Harry Potter? Talk about needing some handy dandy weed killer!"

Harley had not stocked up on anti-magic items for this wedding, and she was kicking herself for not doing so! "You'd think I'd have packed some anti-magic spray or a dagger or something, but nooooo! Of course not! Can you kick the crap out of the creeping crud around my ankles, Arkady?"
