Ireland bought the jewelry and carefully took the bag Jade had given her, then listened to Jade explain that she was a mutant. "Oh, like the people who go to the school, Xavier's, I believe it's called?" she questioned, nodding her head along with the story of Jade's family. "That's really cool, I think I had a book as a girl about a family who lived in a circus" she shared before saying "I have a power as well, if I change forms I can learn about another person's power, if there's another person with me. It's useful but so far it's only helped me fight off a robber, but I don't know if they knew they had one."
Thinking for a bit, she admitted "I just found out recently, it had never come up while I was growing up." She then paused to think again after being asked how she knew she was a witch. "Well, I chose to follow witchcraft after meeting the older lady in my hometown, I lived in Montana growing up." she explained. "My family had a farm and I didn't want to inherit it, I always wanted to move somewhere in a big city, and eventually I got here and I love it! But also I do believe there are some powered people who call themselves witches? But basically I just believe in the power of the Universe and I was trained in how to cast spells and such."
As Jade mentioned magic being common, Ireland sighed a bit. "I have to admit I'm a bit jealous. Other than my mentor, not many people where I lived believed in magic, what was it like growing up knowing magic existed?" She was curious but also smiled and said "I would love for you to come see my shop!", and she pulled a business card out of her purse and handed it to Jade.

It was pretty quiet while they ate, which Alison honestly needed as she had a lot of information to process through, so she simply ate her pizza while she mulled over the stuff she'd learned from Gwen. It was honestly really amazing that out of all the fans she could've met, the one that crossed her path was, in a way, her daughter. It also overwhelmed her a bit, if she had to be honest, being as she had never had kids and although she might like to have kids in the future, she was focusing on her career.
She was relieved to hear Gwen say that visiting her home was more universe hopping than time travel, but listened as she explained why she needed to have the portal gun on her. She could tell that her security team got worried at the mention of a portal closing, but simply said "If you can say I'd be safe, then I see no reason why we can't make a quick trip there", giving a look at her team letting them know she'd be safe. "Finish eating and we'll find a space where we can be a bit more private, okay? I don't want to disappear in front of a bunch of people, don't want to cause a panic." she said, very curious about what her alternate universe self was like.

Alison nodded along to her friend's question, adding an explanation. "They let me film before they officially opened, which was really nice of them! Well, and I wanted to help them out as I know it can be hard to make a good first impression. We have so many clubs and bars here, it's important to stand out." Taking a sip of her drink, she smiled again as she half waved at the owner of the club, whom she'd just seen across the bar. Casuaully pointing him out to Angelica, she said "I got to meet him the first time I came in, he's really nice!"
Her foot still tapping to the music, she listened to Angelica explain about Vance and how she hasn't heard from him. "I'm sorry, I'm sure he's okay though" she said, trying to be reassuring. "Maybe he just needed to "disappear" for a while, heal, and then he'll be back." Pausing for a moment, she said "I could put some feelers out, see if anyone's seen him? Up to you." It was up to her friend, she didn't want to pressure her and it was also kind of unlikely Vance could be tracked down, but Internet detectives were known to be very persistent so maybe it would be worth a shot.

Raven was so worried when Kurt did not take the news well, this was why she hadn't told him before but maybe she should have? Fighting tears herself, yet worried that someone would come to see what was wrong, she reached down to Kurt. It was then that he stood up, denying what happened but apparently not doing well, especially when he fell to his knees. "Whoa!" she exclaimed, gently touching him on his shoulder. "Do you need me to get someone, a doctor?" she asked, feeling horribly guilty for not telling him the truth sooner.
He finally reached up to her and she took his hand, wanting nothing more than to take him away from here and bring him home, but he had to want to. In the meantime, she said "I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth before, but I've always been watching you and you seemed so happy!" Shaking her head, she said "I know it's going to take a while to accept the truth, but is there anything I can do in the meantime?" Pausing just a moment, she also offered "If you want, you can come home with me and we can talk more, but it's up to you. I just worry about you, are you sure these guys can take care of you?"

Alison watched Gwen's reaction, guessing that her singing answered Gwen's question, but then her daughter from a different universe pulled out a gun of sorts and asked to scan her. "Ok, two things; first I wouldn't point that at me in public please. Second, let's eat first, I think we could both use food right now." She was worried about Gwen, according to everything she'd said, she was alone in a completely new universe with no one to help her and she was currently having trouble with the thought that she, Alison Blaire, was her mom.
As she began to eat, she cautiously brought up an idea to Gwen. "I am curious to see your world, but I just want to be sure I'd be safe going there, you know what they say about stepping on butterflies" she stated, looking at her security as they tried to bring up the danger. "I know, but if it would risk breaking our timeline I would rather be the only one who goes, unless..." she then looked back at Gwen. "Do you think it would be okay if these guys held onto your portal gun, just in case they need to come in?" she asked, wondering if that would work.

Raven was even more worried when Kurt said he was not fine, though she breathed a sigh of relief when he said they treated him well here. "That's good, I do worry about you" she said softly, bending down and picking up the Bible. One glance at the pages told her everything but then Kurt mentioned his father. Sighing, she said "I need to tell you something about how you were conceived, he is not your father. I took on his DNA and shifted into his form so I could be the father, but I didn't think about how you turned out physically."
Taking a quick glance around to make sure they were still alone, she continued. "For years, even decades, I loved this mutant woman called Irene Adler, she is your mother and I am your father. I don't know where she is right now or if she's still alive but I do still look for her." Swallowing hard, she then said "Also, I am so sorry we left you behind! The people where we lived thought we were demons and were coming after us, we hid you and had every intention of coming back but by the time we did, you had been found. I owe your life to your adopted mom!"
Tears pricked her eyes as she remembered how helpless she felt and she wiped her eyes before shaking it off. "I don't blame you if you are mad at me but I hope you will forgive me or at least let me try to make it up to you." she said, unsure about where to go from here.

Juli felt a bit disappointed as Gwen explained how she couldn't find her family and how she doubted that Dazzler was her mom, but at the same time she was very happy that they were hanging out together and she even smiled at the store clerk who was heading over to the register. When Gwen showed her the shirt, she grinned and replied to her "That shirt is awesome! Yeah, I love the soundtrack but the story can be really confusing. I think there are Youtube videos that try to connect the lore but I couldn't do that, way too much research!"
She agreed that she was ready and headed up to the register, greeting the cashier with a "Hi" before carefully putting her stuff down. After being rung up and tapping her card, she got handed her shopping in a cute paper bag and her receipt, then she stepped aside to wait for Gwen, but she did ask "What are you in the mood for food wise? The food court has pizza, Chinese food, a Taco John's, and a couple of like cold sandwich places."

Alison was surprised at Gwen's request but would do almost anything to help, but they needed to get out of the way, so she asked the young man ringing her up for one slice of pepperoni and a Pepsi, hopefully Gwen would like it, before asking her security to help her carry the food and drinks to a somewhat secluded table. After they were settled, Alison took Gwen's hands and began to sing "Hush little baby", a song she remembered being sung to her so many years ago, and reminded her of her own mom.
As she sang, tears welled into her eyes and spilled out, but she simply kept hold of Gwen's hands, only saying after she was done "I don't know if your mom was a version of me, but I'm sure she loved you and would be so proud of you! I am proud of you, and while I'm not your mom, I would love to get to know you better." She then wiped her face before sighing and asking "Feel better?"

It had taken Mystique quite some time, but she had found her son and was nervous to talk to him. They hadn't had the best relationship, but she always tried to look out for him and she wanted to talk with him tonight, so she morphed into one of the people she'd seen wandering around and walked casually into the garden. approaching the young man. "May I sit here?" he asked, only changing into her true form once she was sure they were alone.
"Hello Kurt" she started, a small smile flitting across her face before seeing the Bible laying on the ground then the tears in her son's eyes. "Are you okay?" Are they mistreating you here?" she asked, getting a bit angry but also not fully understanding why Kurt was here. "I know I haven't been the best mother but I do care about you and if you're hurt or need help, just tell me, okay?" she asked quietly, worried about her son who so reminded her of Destiny.

Ireland watched as Jade moved, constantly working while listening to her and admiring how she set everything up, but she did blush when Jade recommended a necklace to go with the bracelet she'd tried on. "They are both beautiful" she softly said as she fastened the necklace around her neck briefly before setting it back where it belonged. She blushed a bit more as Jade asked for her name and she said "It's Ireland, sorry I didn't give it to you before. My shop name is A Cozy Cottage, kind of evoking small town vibes."
She looked around as Jade mentioned everything she did or had in her shop, noting the name and that it was supposed to be more of an oddities shop. "I can see that" she replied, smiling and leaning forward a bit as Jade mentioned a display of the Circus that she was a part of, admiring it before turning her attention back to Jade. "My shop is more witchcraft themed, with potions, crystals and all that. I was mentored by a witch in my home town and I wanted to bring that to people who maybe need a little magic in their lives." she explained, "plus with all the heroes and villains that run around, I wanted a somewhat safe place for people to come when fights break out."
Heading back to the jewelry, she picked up the necklace and bracelet and said "I want to buy these", feeling drawn toward them. She quietly asked "Do you have a power?", curious to hear what Jade had to say.

Juli just listened as Gwen explained, only uttering an "I'm sorry" but otherwise letting Gwen talk. She knew from experience that just getting all the crap out was the best thing, but she did ask one question. "Have you tried finding the variants of your family here, or do they not exist in this universe?" she asked, quickly adding "Other than Dazzler, of course", knowing of the famous singer but never having met her before. She did enjoy hearing Gwen's story though her reaction to it made her doubt whether she could be a proper villain.
Taking the lead, she said "Let's go shop really quick, then we can head toward the food court", leading the way into the stationary type store and looking around. "Notebooks are here and oh! There's a nice display of pens right here" she said, quickly getting to browsing and finding what she was looking for. "Look, they've got Star Wars" she said, picking up a cute gray notebook with Luke Skywalker on the front. "Got what you need?" she asked, having found a decent amount of pencils but wanting to wait for Gwen.

Alison did chuckle as Gwen compared Carol Danvers, nodding her head in agreement. "Yeah, I have to say she really is that powerful!" she stated, her mind flashing back to the Singularity event where the star child was gathering all her friends together and she'd gotten to meet Carol. When Gwen mentioned not having a Wilson Fisk but having several people like him, she shuddered a bit and said "I am so sorry! It seems like there's bad guys in every universe, which sucks!" She did end up laughing as Gwen said her favorite movie was the first Iron Man, even adding that the guy who played him looked so much like Iron Man!
They focused on pizza for a bit and then Alison asked if she could pay, which apparently was the wrong thing to say as Gwen got upset! Quickly reacting, she then slipped her arm around Gwen and said "Hey, it's okay! I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to do something nice! Why don't you pick out what you want then we can talk?" She then cursed herself out as she realized she sounded even more like a mom! "Ugh, sorry again! Of course I'm not your mom, though I might look like her!" she said, rubbing Gwen's back and wishing she knew what to say to make Gwen feel better.

Ireland smiled as Jade introduced herself and replied "I own a small occult shop of my own and heard about this one, I wanted to check it out and of course meet you" she stated with a warm smile, adding "By the way, I love the rainbow in your hair!" Smiling still, she looked at what wares she could find and asked "Can you show me what you like the most?" Also, before they moved, Ireland admired the braclets that Jade was arranging, mentioning "I love that you have more of a variety of jewelry here, I've been finding it hard to get actual earrings and such! Usually the crystals either come as just what they are, or they come in necklaces."
As she spoke, she reached out to touch one of the bracelets, slipping it on her wrist for a brief moment before returning it to where Jade had placed it. "They are beautiful" she said, smiling once more at the woman she'd just met and hoping they could become friends. "Can I ask what made you decide to open a shop?" she asked out of curiosity.

Juli nodded as Gwen talked about Star Wars a bit, adding "I did like Revenge of the Sith, not so much the newer movies. Anything that's dark and mysterious, sign me up for!" She continued nodding as Gwen agreed that being alone sucked, while wondering whether Gwen herself was alone. On impulse, she asked "Do you have family here, or are they all back home? It must be weird being in a universe that is just a comic book, is there anything that took you a while to get used to?"
She was very happy when Gwen agreed to come to her store, and she said "Maybe after we get done here? We'll need some privacy after all and we can keep my shop closed, come in the back way." Then they entered the mall and Gwen asked what they would do first. "Well, I am hungry but the shop we need is right here" she said, pointing. "Why don't we shop first and then head to the food court? They should have some secluded tables we could park at and do our writing." She then paused to see what Gwen thought, as if her new friend was hungry, they could switch things around and go eat first.
