Alison sat down on Gwen's bed and looked around, really interested in her new friend's room, though she felt bad that Gwen apparently didn't have a family anymore. Still, maybe she could mentor Gwen, which is probably the closest to being her mom that she could be. After a few moments, she decided to get up and stretch her legs so she walked over to a window and looked out, seeing a normal suburban street, but then she caught a quick glimpse of someone dressed in a black hood and carrying some kind of staff.
She blinked quickly and looked back, but the figure was gone. "That's weird" she muttered, jumping a little as Gwen ran back into the room and gave her a piece of paper, which Alison realized was a birth certificate. She read it and looked at Gwen, saying "Well, that answers that. I was just noticing how similar your mom's Dazzler makeup was, and not just that but the X-Men costumes on your posters. Got me wondering if someone from this world could see into my world, but it seems like the multiverse theory is more what's going on."
"I have heard of multiple worlds, but never put much thought into it, other than one time where a bunch of us were brought together due to someone in another universe having us as friends, or rather, the us from her world. Doesn't surprise me that you would find this world too, when you needed it." Looking at Gwen, she asked "Are you okay? Need another hug?"

Suddenly another woman joined the fight, she was dressed in what looked like ninja garb but the woman asked her if she was trying to save the vampire fighting her before she was attacked herself. Exhaling sharply, Mercury said "Just trying to figure out how to down these guys, haven't fought vampires before", her mind briefly wondering what Jubilee's friend was up to.
Just then, the wind picked up and the snow blew higher before she heard a voice and then one of the vampires burst into flame. Mercury hardened her left fist and hit the vampire in front of her, smirking as she heard a loud crunch and watched the vampire's face break almost in half, collapsing in the snow. Then she jumped, startled as suddenly a woman was besides her, mentioning a friend in X Force. "Oh, that's cool" she stated, "I haven't met anyone in X Force yet but I'll keep my eyes open."
Just then, she noticed another lady jumping through portals while fighting vampires and ended up plugging her ears as she let out a sonic scream. "Whoa, that's wild" she muttered, stepping back as the vampire at her feet struggled to get up. Hardening her foot, she brought it down on the vampire's head, crushing it to a pulp. Turning to Jade, she asked "Need help?"

Raven listened to Azarel, not stepping back though she was fearful. Crossing her arms, she tried to ignore the tears but when she admitted to loving her, she did feel guilty. She was jolted out of her thoughts by Kurt laughing and she listened as he asked both of them questions before letting Azarel answer first. Pacing just a bit, she then turned to face both of them, but focused more of her attention around Kurt.
"I was with Irene for years before meeting Azzy" she started, trying to help him feel better by using a nickname. "I am sorry that I lied and manipulated, I just...for years I've been by myself, both before meeting Destiny and at times after and we wanted a child so badly. I lost her, I have no idea where she is now and that kills me inside!" Biting her lip, she looked at her ex and said "I did and do love you, you helped fill a hole in my life and helped me gain a son. I should have asked you for help, but I was afraid and thought it would be better to solve the problem myself." She then stayed quiet, waiting to hear what her son and former love would say.

Ireland was surprised as Jade explained where her family came from. "Who hunted you?" she questioned, unsure of whether it was the U.S. government or some smaller group. But then she simply listened as Jade continued, curious and wanting to know more when Jade mentioned that magic was simply a part of her family's life. "I wish I'd had that growing up, that was one of the many reasons why I left my home" she explained, listening again as Jade explained more.
When Jade asked her about the school for X-Men, Ireland smiled. "I don't know a lot about them, other than everyone who is either a student or a teacher there has some sort of power, and of course there's a team that goes out to fight evil, or I should say, those who choose to harm others." She shared this, also adding "I have never been to this school, mainly because I kind of want to help on the sidelines. I would rather provide a safe space and teach people how to take care of themselves, rather than go out and fight , if that makes sense."
"Having said that, I am curious about what you do and how you know how to put these souls to rest. Also I assume the X-Men are kind of like the Avengers, in that they fight those who would cause harm, but I am confused about the difference. Like are only X-Men those with this X gene and how do they know?" Shrugging her shoulders, she admitted "I would like to get more information, but I'm unsure of how to do access it. Do you have any ideas?"

Raven grew hopeful after Kurt questioned her, saying "Yes, let me take you home" but her yellow eyes glowed with anger when Kurt asked if she knew what his father had done. Standing up and reaching out with her other hand, she shook her head but only saiid "I am so sorry I wasn't around for you". She was also confused when he asked if she thought he was here to heal and replied "That's what I assumed, I'm sorry if I'm wrong."
She wanted so badly to hold him, so many years had been lost, but she did breathe a sigh of relief as Kurt mentioned the place he was at being a second start. "That's good, but you know you can always come home with me" she said, in a hopefully soothing tone. When he asked how he could trust that either of them would tell him the truth, she sighed and simply replied "I am telling you the truth, I would never have killed you!" Then before she could answer the next question, she heard a very familiar voice and hissed "Not here!", but she looked up to see Azazel, the mutant who claimed to be Kurt's father, already casting doubt on her story.
She seethed with anger as her former "lover" began to berate her, simply snapping back "You're not helping him", rolling her eyes as he changed form before berating her again for not taking the form she'd taken to conceived Kurt. She changed her form, with a quick "Happy now?" before getting into his face. "Don't you dare mock Destiny, she is my one true love" she snarled, a pang of sorrow striking her heart as she did not know where her partner had gone. "Yes, I do feel bad about deceiving you, but I so wanted a child of my own and this was the best way, that way he could be ours, truly. Would you have been his father otherwise?"
When he continued to berate her, that was fine, but then he dared to question where Irene had gone, and yes, Raven could hear the hurt in his voice but how dare he?! Wanting to strike him, she couldn't but she knew what she could do, so she turned to Kurt and asked "What did he do to you?" she asked, wanting to hear from his own lips an excuse to be mad at and strike out at him.

Once they finished, Alison gave her trash to one of her security guys, knowing he would make sure that everything got disposed of, and she couldn't help but smile as Gwen took her hand, asking if she was ready. "Yes, I'm curious to see what your room looks like" she said, walking with Gwen to a secluded corner, where she held her hand tightly and walked with her into the room.
Once there, she looked around and smiled, saying "I like it!", referring to her room. Then Gwen said she needed to go to the garage to look for something and Alison nodded. "I will look around here, take your time" she said, moving closer to some pictures showing Gwen's mom, as well as the rest of their family. Finding it quite surreal, she studied the picture of the four of them and felt weird but in a good way. She even chuckled a bit as Gwen's dad, in her eyes, looked kind of like a younger Gambit, but she found herself moving around in order to study the other pictures, especially the ones where her double/alternate was dressed like her. It was weird because even though the costumes weren't exact, they were close, and she admired Gwen' mom for making them look realistic.
She then moved to the wall that had a bunch of images of superheroes, including the X-Men, and studied them, looking to see anything familiar in the images. She also wondered if there indeed was a connection of sorts between the two universes, because even though things were slightly different, they were just right enough to make her wonder if someone in this world could see into the other world and draw inspiration from what they saw.

Juli laughed as Gwen talked about the reveal of one of the main villains of Final Fantasy being good and she shook her head. "Like he spent all that time being a really great bad guy, let him be bad!" she exclaimed, laughing more as Gwen declared they were going to Taco John's, but then she explained that in her world, Taco John's wasn't around anymore. Gasping, she said "That's so sad! I don't know what I would do if they ever stopped being around, sometimes you just need greasy tacos and potato ole's."
Juli waited for Gwen to order before stepping up once Gwen offered to pay, right away saying "I'll have a double decker taco with potato ole's and a Mountain Dew, large please" before turning around to see if she could find a good table, and of course letting Gwen pay. In a few minutes, their food was done and Juli grabbed her tray and told Gwen "Follow me" before leading them to a somewhat secluded table. "I'm excited to hear what you have in mind for my rebirth, so to speak. I also have to admit I'm curious about your drawing, I like to draw but I'm not very good at it." she said, popping a warm potato ole in her mouth.

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."
