"Thank you, Pixie," Beast said as he looked at the young X-Man, "but rest for a bit. I'm sure Karenza will be able to get that insidious television magnate here and still make it to the wedding, wherever it is being held now."
Beast looked at Isabella and Jasper and growled softly. "You are in here because you attacked the X-Men alongside your mistress. The others are not in custody because they have not transgressed against us. I can put it no more plainly than that. Whatever your issues are, by casting your lot with that of Selene, you share her fate."

Jasper scowled after he heard Beast's words. ''I guess you never had a younger brother.'' He began to tremble with rage. ''I had to attack my younger brother. I suffered. Jamie Hook had to suffer as well.''
Jasper continued to scowl. ''My brother was a pirate just like me. He still is. I do know our mother wanted us to be pirates, but still! I'm certain Jamie Hook is a cruel pirate. That's why he should be in a cell. Well, the other reason. Besides defeating me.''
A smile appeared on Jasper's face. ''What makes you certain my sibling won't attack you? Perhaps he is so traumatized from the illusion of our decaying mother and his betrothed that he might try to end your lives. Jamie is probably still sobbing. That doesn't shock me at all.'' He rolled his eyes.

"Thank you," Jean said to Ceri as she thought about Jessie, "but I am the lucky one for having Jessie in my life. She saved us all, and for that I will be forever grateful."
Jean tried very hard not to talk about the damned mess that had caused the fight above the Golden Gate Bridge. She and Kari were actually still trying to piece it all together after months of pain and recriminations on all sides. Maybe it was the fact Scott was with Emma and that Logan was no longer an option? Maybe it was too much time away from people? Jean still had no definitive answers.
As she sat with Ceri, Jean felt the need to check up on Selene before sending Ceri's astral form to the wedding.
{{Hank, I'm doing a quick check on Selene for you}} she said telepathically to her old friend before turning back to Ceri. "We can get you to the wedding in a minute. I'm doing a quick scan of Selene for Hank."
OOC: Chuck, the floor is yours on the Jean/Selene set up. I will catch up on my other characters this week and weekend.--K

*Jasper Hook should keep his mouth shut* Isabella thought. She scowled again. She wondered how long she was going to remain in custody. Perhaps for the rest of her life. Perhaps for the rest of her afterlife as well. Assuming she died in the cell.

Jean Grey was able to scan the Black Queen's mind with ease. It seemed as though there was nothing left. Selene remained an empty shell. There was no consciousness easily found. Her mind was on autopilot, keeping her heart beating and her chest breathing. There was no response even to the psychic stimuli. Selene's own mind had retreated deep within. No surface thoughts. No surface memories. No emotions to feel. To an untrained telepath, it would appear as though Selene's astral body had left. Jean would know better. She had spent enough time with Xavier and the X-Men to know otherwise.
Selene's mind was dark; pitch black. The silence was deafening. It was unnerving to be in someone's mind with such silence. Jean would have to pry herself in deeper, but there was a danger Jean would have to face. Selene was the personification of corruption; her mind would be far worse once her psyche was found.
((OOC: Don't want to make it to easy for her. Perhaps she leave and finish up with the wedding and come back at another time to go deeper? Up to you!))

OOC to Chuck: Jean will indeed get Ceri to the wedding via the astral plane and probe Selene's mind more deeply later. Perhaps we can chat after New Year's? *schedules willing*
OOC to Chris: I already said the ladies were at the wedding via the astral plane. This was to sync up the threads.
IC:
Jean stepped back from Selene's mind and grimaced as she looked from the prone villain to her old comrade. "Hank, Jessie knocked Selene for a loop, so I am guessing she is taking this time to rebuild mind and body. Please, do not let any other telepaths except Emma make a scan until I finish helping Ceri. Something most definitely isn't right, and I want no one wading in the quicksand of Selene's psyche."
"What if Kari asks?" Hank queried Jean as the redheaded Phoenix shook her head "no" in a most emphatic fashion. "I see," Beast replied.
"I owe Kari. She can consider it an early Christmas gift. She really should not be mucking about in Selene's head," Jean added as she took Ceri's hand. "Let's get going. Just relax your mind, and I'll guide you there."
Jean and Ceri walked onto the astral plane and then found themselves at Sean and Miri's wedding.

Liam looked at Megan and knew she was tired from all the teleporting she had done earlier. "I've got this one, Pixie," he said as he flipped open a panel on his armor and opened a bodyslide portal back to the wedding venue. "A gift from Cable before he and Hope split. Said my armor needed a bit of a kick, and he was right," he said to Beast as he returned to the Conservatory.
TBC Liam back with Mojo for the moment

Thom had not said much since Mojo had gone off on his riff about the slaves in his world, and he continued to keep quiet as he and Liam escorted Mojo and the young man named Copernicus into the holding cell area of Cybercide's base.
"Beast, we have more guests," Thom said as he kept telekinetically holding Mojo and Copernicus in place where they stood. "I think this should be it for the day. At least I pray that's the case," he added as he looked at Mojo. "And slavery is dead in this realm, Mojo, and it is going to stay that way."

Everything was so fast. One minute Mojo was mentioning slaves. The next minute he found himself in a place he wasn't familiar with at all. Mojo's eyes were wide as he looked around. That was when he saw the holding cell. Mojo scowled at everyone.
''The Mojoverse's greatest ruler won't be imprisoned! How will I obtain good ratings if I'm in a cell?'' He continued to scowl at Thom. ''Slavery gone?'' His eyes increased in size again. He shook his head in disbelief.

Worry filled Isabella's eyes as she paced back and forth repeatedly in her cell. She frowned. *Hopefully Emil is fine. I'm still concerned about my queen. Jasper still probably isn't keeping his nasty mouth shut. I WILL torment the man I married another time.*

Curiosity caused Mojo to tilt his head to one side after he saw a male pirate and a woman. He focused on them for a few moments. Mojo smiled. ''You! Male prisoner! You! Worried woman pacing!'' He watched as they faced him.
Mojo kept his voice soft so that nobody nearby was able to hear him. ''You can work for me if we're out of cells.'' Mojo turned to Jasper. ''You can be my replacement Major Domo. I don't know if you're a robot like the previous Major Domo.'' He shrugged.
Mojo faced Isabella. ''You will be my replacement Spiral. I may have to remove your tongue so that you aren't as nasty as her. I can give you six arms just like Spiral. No. Ten arms! You'll use spells and teleport through worlds.''

Jasper focused on Mojo. He heard every word from the latter. He began to scowl another time. ''Work for you? A replacement Major Domo?'' His scowl remained.
''Mistress Selene may be unconscious, but I'll still be with her.'' His next expression was one of shock after he heard what Mojo said to Isabella. ''A replacement Spiral? Ten arms? Using spells? Teleporting through worlds?''
A rare worried expression formed on Jasper's face. *Will Selene open her eyes another time? Hopefully she'll be conscious another time.* Jasper glanced at Isabella. *I should probably keep my nasty mouth shut. Isabella loathes my words.*
Jasper saw Thom. Curiosity was why he tilted his head to one side. ''Do you know where my little brother is? Midshipman... errr Captain James Hook? Long, white hair? A hook?''
The memory of Captain James Hook sobbing formed in Jasper's mind. A smile appeared at a snail's pace. Jasper remembered every tear. He remembered every sob.
Jasper focused on Thom. ''I'm curious. How many tears did you view from my little brother? Multiple tears?''

"First things first," Thom said as he and Liam got Mojo and Copernicus into their cells. "Copper, or whatever they call you, we will talk later about your captivity and that man named Kaine," Thom said as he watched Liam program the code into the doors as they closed.
Thom then turned to Jasper Hook with his arms crossed and a vexed look on his face. "I have no idea where your brother was headed, but I am sure he will be kept very far away from you for the time being. Whatever magic Selene imbued you with seemed to shatter his spirit. I pray that he can recover from what transpired."
As he stepped back a bit, Thom saw Liam look toward the rooms where the girl code named Remedy had been staying. "I'm sorry your friend left," he quietly said to his brother as they turned to see all the prisoners in the cells. "And I pray this lot causes no trouble."

Jasper's smile stretched from ear to ear. ''Shatter his spirit? Wonderful!'' Jasper folded his hands and continued to smile. He placed his hands near his face. ''My younger brother should suffer for defeating me.''

Isabella continued to pace. She heard what Thom said to Jasper. What he revealed about the younger brother. ''I guess my ex-spouse will be very far from me.'' Isabella frowned again. She began to worry about Selene another time.
Isabella's eyes settled on Thom. ''How is Selene?'' she asked in a sincere tone. Concern filled her eyes. She didn't cease pacing.
Isabella never forgot about her ex-spouse. How she wished to hear him mewling. She remembered his tears with Jasper's younger brother's tears. ''How is that ex-spouse of mine? I don't know if you saw him. Craig Dragotti? Long, dark hair? Usually wearing a three part suit?''
