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.

Alison was curious the more Gwen talked, especially with the mention of Carol Danvers becoming Alpha Witch as well as mentioning something that happened with Rouge. "Weird" was all she really said, just trying to take mental notes for talking with people later. She nodded at Gwen's mention of Superman and Wonder Woman, having read some of those comics, and she admitted "I really like the Supergirl comics! You'd think having a character who's pretty much the same as someone else would get boring, but I love what they've done with her story!"
It was what Gwen said next that caused Alison to gasp. "Wilson Fisk is in your universe and he's a baddie?" she questioned, shaking her head. "He's here too and always causing trouble" she admitted, smiling as she began to smell the food, which meant they were getting close. "I also can't believe how many movies you guys have" she said, very curious about what kind of adventures their fictional selves came up with. "Can I ask which is your favorite? I have to admit I think it would be so cool to see me and my friends on the big screen.
Just then they turned the corner to the food court and Alison inhaled, making a beeline to the pizza kiosk. "This is what I've been craving" she stated, waiting for Gwen to join her before picking out a huge slice of pepperoni pizza and getting a Pepsi. "Want me to pay for your stuff, my treat?" she asked, not wanting to cause offense but at the same time she did want to treat Gwen.

Ireland was walking down a very busy New York sidewalk, she had heard of a shop that was similar to hers, yet different, and she had the day off so wanted to go check it out. Her blond hair was up in a ponytail and she was wearing a cute long sleeved pink shirt and blue jeans, she had her destination on her maps app and was currently very close to it. She was very curious to see if the owner of the shop was in and if she'd be willing to talk shop with her, but if she wasn't, that would be okay as well.
In just a few minutes, Ireland had reached the door and stepped inside, looking around at all the treasures and getting distracted by a display of items, she right aways leaned in closer for a better look. She then noticed a lady nearby and approached her. "Hi, are you the owner of the shop?" she asked, curious as always.

Alison patted Gwen's back as she began to cry, just saying "It's okay" as she held the girl tight. After a minute or so Gwen pulled back and offered to take the bags from Alison, causing her to giggle. "Then I can give my guys a break, they usually carry stuff for me" she said with a cheeky glance to her security as she let Gwen carry her shopping, though she was curious about the infinite funds part.
She started to laugh as Gwen pretended to over react to her accepting a brand deal, but nodded as Gwen explained how bad they apparently were in her universe. After they started walking, Alison asked "I hope you don't mind if I ask this, but would you tell me more about your universe? Like who's your favorite superhero in comics? Do you guys have movies about superheroes?" She also did want to hear more about Gwen's parents, but that would come with time.

Juli nodded, feeling like she understood a little. "I get it, there are some really weird things in the show, and I'm not just talking about the monsters" she admitted, but smiling as Gwen mentioned liking Star Wars and Star Trek. "What's your favorite Star Wars movie?" she asked, "I'm not sure what mine is. If I had to pick, I'd say the first one, A New Hope." She also thought that she hadn't seen Star Trek in ages, she honestly didn't think the show was still on!
She saw the mall and got excited, squeezing Gwen's arm. "I can't wait, I love to go shopping but today I get to hang out with someone" she confessed, "usually I'm on my own or just running in to grab stuff I need for my shop." Then she got an idea and grinned. "Gwen, you should totally come visit me in my store! We could hang out and play with makeup or whatever, I think it would be fun!"

Alison was pleased as Gwen agreed to eating with them and listened to her talk about her dad, but she became a bit curious when Gwen mentioned her mom who apparently not only dressed up as her but also used to sing. Hmm, maybe Gwen's universe did have a Dazzler she couldn't help but think but didn't say anything yet. Instead, she felt bad when Gwen looked and sounded sad when talking about her mom, and she said "Hey, it's ok! Can I give you a hug?"
She went to buy her stuff and had the outfits bagged up then turned to Gwen and asked "Is pizza okay? I'm craving some greasy cheese and bread." She giggled right after, hoping to keep Gwen's mood up, though she really didn't mind if her fan was sad. When Gwen said she hadn't had much time to listen to music, Alison nodded but asked "Have you tried earbuds? I do get needing to be alert, I'm a part of the X-Men team myself, but" and then she paused before giggling again. "So you're going to laugh when I say this, but Ray-con reached out to me a few months ago to help promote their earbuds and well, I have been wearing them ever since! They do honestly stay in place and you can turn off the music with just a tap, you should try them!" After making sure she had everything, she asked Gwen "Are you ready to go?"

Juli was surprised as Gwen suddenly hugged her and asked to be her sister, but at the same time she felt accepted, which she hadn't totally felt that way in a long time. As a result, she returned the hug and said "Of course!", then listening as Gwen explained how alone she felt. "So don't laugh but it reminds me of Doctor Who, 13 to be exact. She discovered that her memories had been manipulated and she technically wasn't who she'd thought she was for years" she explained, wanting to not spoil what happened in the show, at least for the taxi driver.
Then Gwen mentioned that Juli did not have any comics based on her but that she was an original character. "Aww, so someone came up with my story on their own? That's so cool!" she exclaimed, before wondering if her story would pop up now in Gwen's universe. "But yeah, I believe your story! I mean it's a little weird but I can totally accept it, considering what kind of powers we've got here. I mean, we have people who can read minds, people who don't get hurt after taking damage, why wouldn't I believe that in some universe we're comic book characters?"

Alison smiled and nodded as Gwen said she knew what she wanted her to sign, expecting her to run out of the mall and take some time, but instead she pulled out something and vanished through a portal of sorts. Before Alison could even head toward the register to pay for her stuff, Gwen was back and showed her a couple of items that looked familiar but different. One was a poster that looked like it had been ripped in half at one point and the other item was a record album that had a bunch of songs.
She spent a couple of minutes just looking at everything, but wondering why nothing looked familiar, though once she saw the cover of a Cars song her mind got to thinking about doing a cover. Gwen then explained that in her universe, all the superheroes and villains were not real, but instead they were fictional characters written for comic books. "Whoa, really?" she asked, pulling out a marker in order to sign the two items but still listening to Gwen. She got teary-eyed as Gwen explained how much her music had meant to her dad, and she said "Hey, on behalf of the not real me I just want to say how proud of your dad I am! I do get it, my own dad hasn't been the best support system for me, but you've got to pursue your own dreams, you know?
She finished signing the two items and carefully handed them back to Gwen, then she snagged the CD that one of her bodyguards had ran out to the bus to get. "As a bonus, you can have my latest album!" She signed it with a flourish and handed it to Gwen before asking "Can I ask you questions about your universe? Would you mind getting some food with us, I'm just really curious about the world you come from."

Mercury watched as three ladies fought the vampires off, causing a lot of damage! She almost didn't want to disturb them, but then from behind she heard a growl and whipped around to find herself facing a young looking woman with fangs. "Hey, trying to sneak up on me?" she asked, chuckling as she lashed out with a punch, hardening her left fist to make it land heavier. The vampire growled again before moving extremely fast, ending up behind Mercury and attempting to bite her neck. "I don't think so" Mercury gasped, making her skin on her neck tough and yanking away.
She began moving closer to the other magical ladies, hoping that they could fight off these guys together, while throwing punches at the vampire following her. "Hey, you're gonna get killed if I make it to these guys" she warned, jumping back as the vampire lashed out at her again. "Besides, I don't have blood for you" she lied, seeing if she could get through to the person who was hopefully still in there, somewhere.
