Christian looked confused, "What do you mean? It's me...Christian. I came with you here. Remember? All this commotion must have you pretty upset."
I knew it! I told you she wouldn't forget! I knew I was somebody to her!
He stroked her hair, hands shaking from his own world of stress, "It's been a long day, Mi'lady. A long day."

"No, this isn't right, you look like Christian but you mind is not!"Amelia said bewildered pushing herself away from Christian.

Christian's eyes fluttered, rolled back into his skull, and reopened, tired but cleared. He grabbed her wrists, which still rested on his shoulders, and cupped them caringly. He breathed deeply, "I'm sorry...please, don't worry about me. You have alot of catching up to do," he said, nodding towards Raphael, "And if the common foe is Apocalypse, you'll need all the time you can get. We'll talk later."
He let go of her, and leaned against the wall, sinking down to the ground, trying to fight a finish a battle inside his mind.
Ravage felt himself sink back, What? How!? I had control again! Why couldn't I keep it!? His voice resounded in echoes within Christian's mental walls, and Ravage's paranoia was evident.
Christian looked to Amelia, trying to conceal his gaze, I told you she wouldn't forget, Ravage. And as long as she breathes, I won't let you hurt her.

"I have worked hard all my life, and nothing has come out as planned, too many things have conspired against my happiness." Raphael sulked back.
"enjoy your dinner." He walked out the door and sat outside in the air.

X-T stood out of her way from all of this, but then ran forward, grabbing the guy who had kneed Idia in the stomach by the back of his shirt. She extended her three claws and held them at his face. She could feel her eyes turn from their usual bright blue to an evil red. She telepathed to Pravus Don't worry, Pravus. I'm gonna take care of 'em
"Alright, bub. If ya ain't gonna play nice, I'm gonna put ya in time out," X-T said gruffly with a snarl, "An' I'm sure ya know whats best fer ya," X-T then slited a small cut on his face.

X-T looked up from her pray, to the girl leaning up against the wall.
"Any idea were this Bison guy is? An' does this punk hafta do anythin' with 'em?" X-T said snarling.

Mazarus who had been silent most of the time looked up and said, "cut off the head and the body dies, Apocolypse is the one who needs to be slain."

"Maz has a point," Jazz said, looking at them distrustfully from her position, crouching on the floor in a corner. Her green eyes were tired but thoughtful. "Apocolypse needs to die. If he is dead, the rest will fall, but as long as he has them, I don't think we can manage it... can we expect help from Iris, now that her vow is broken?" Her heart ached for Raphael. Even the return of his daughter hadn't stirred him. The hate had consumed him as Iris's pain had consumed her. Jazz felt that she was caught up in everything without ability to direct herself.

Iris looked at her wrsits that had deep burns marks from the bonds she had been wearing because of the vow. But now she was free, and maybe that made her open a portal and bring herself back into Midnight's Hell.
"Miss me?" she asked before shooting energy out of her staff at Midnight.
"I'm thinking we get rid of the lackies free the slaves, gain strength, then attack to mo'fo," Iada said getting up from the floor from were Amelia had pushed her, "You know Mini Iris, you're pushy, selfish, and hard headed, and I like it! Welcome to the club, watch out Jazz snores."

"Christian," Amelia said smiling a little at Iada's acceptance of her, "I'm a powerful telepathic, if you need my help just ask me. But it's up to you," she said before standing up and walking over to Raphael, "I know most of the outlay of the fortress, and some of the weak points, I know which guards are human, or weak mutants. So we need to use what we have right now and work from there."

Christian stood up, and looked to the rebels filling the room, "Listen," he said to those listening, "I am... I mean I was one of Apocalypse's generals. If you'll let me," his face droped to avoid eye contact, "I'd like to be able to help."

Iada ported over Christain and landed on his shoulder with a grin, "Well we have a cudload of telepathic on your side so if you think of doing anything funny then they'll see right through you. But it's up to Raphael....Please Raphael can we keep him, I promise to feed him and walk him everyday!"

"You have nothing to fear from me," he said, unsure, "Let's just say I'm indebted to Amelia for bringing me back from a place I didn't wanna be. The least I can do is support you."

Cole Alden looked up from his work in Apocalypses towers, "Hey, Kevin, you notice the hired help is getting lower in quantity? I think some of the slavers and missing!"
"Yeah, I noticed," He said, "It's weird, Iris is no where to be seen, and I haven't seen Ravage around since his date!"
"Let's hope they didn't elope, marriage makes people grumpy."
Kevin smiled, "Amen, brother. You think we might be able to make a run for it, should the oppotunity arise?"
"Oh hell yeah," Cole cried, "Just say the word, and we'll be on our way to the freedom train. I'll spread the word, and we'll see if we can't get a Union formed."

Raphael turned to Amelia, "what you know we already know." He stirred from his spot and returned back inside.
"go, free your friends, I will take care of the really stupid task."
Mazarus looked up at his father. This was exactly why he didn't want to tell him about seeing Iris, but instead his sister came back and spurred the objective on him. "father, you cannot defeat him, he is too powerful."
Raphael wandered into the back and found the thing he had kept all those years since the war, what he had forged that Iron rod into. It was a mighty hammer.
"you let me worry about what can and cannot be done, while I am taking care of revenge, you should have enough time to free your friends, most of the gaurds will be re allocated in my direction, I will make sure of that."

"Dad, don't be stupid, you can't just go waltzing up to Apocalypse and expect to win," Amelia said, "It's suicide."

"Sir,"Christian stepped up, at attention, "I can get you in easier than a full-frontal assault could. If you can trust me, I'll paint the target on Apocalypses face for you!"

"Neither of you are going anywhere yet," Amelia said standing up and glaring at Raphael and Christian, "I stop you if I have to, but going in there now is suicide. Someone's bound to notice I'm missing so they'll be on high alert."

"I'll be the one to answer those questions, Amelia," Christian said, "Everyone knows you were with me last, I can slow down the searches, and keep them down long quelled long enough for your true father to get inside."

"The object is never to go to your enemy, but to draw your enemy out to you. I wonder." Raphael went back into the back again. He was searching for the suit of armour that had been created long ago. That atleast would protect him from energy blasts.
"Everything dies, this time I get to choose how and when and who I take with me."
