Peter/I were at the upstate X mansion/Xavier Institute moments later. This helped to take stress of the wonder plane too! It was nice! Thanks a million Thor! Odin too!

Kitty Pryde, a teen X man, was there to greet us. "The professor said you guys were coming. Welcome." I looked at the X mansion. "What's wrong?" she said. "Nothing. I've just seen it before." Kitty got it/nodded. "That's right; you're both from another reality." "Yeah." I left out the tragic details of all that and went inside with her. There senior X men Cyclops Beast and Jean Grey greeted us. "Welcome to both of you," said Beast. "The professor is in his office. Please come with us."

The professor was in his motor chair and looking out a window when Pete/I entered with our X men escorts. They stayed with us. Charles then turned around to face us. "Thank you for coming so soon." "Of course professor." He smiled. "You did know me as Charles in another reality." I nodded/smiled back. "Right." Peter/I took the seats facing his desk with the other X men stood off to the side/took seats where they could. They all took note of my hammer. "That item appears to have made all the difference of late," Charles observed. I nodded. "For now; but Mandarin is still out there-" "After the super butt kicking my wife here gave him," said Peter. "Right," I said. "In any event, as you just told us prior to our coming here - there's new evil - demonic evil - growing on the horizon." Charles nodded. He looked at Peter. "And it's focused on your husband here it would seem." Peter said, "But now that Diana and I married I'm now stronger than ever before." Charles nodded. "Yes, but that won't stop something as sadistic as wonder woman's brother from trying, at least in some form, to cause trouble." "Charles is right honey," I said. "But it's not brother directly; but rather another agent of his."

"That seems right to me as well," said Charles. "But despite what happened with Mandarin of late I fear this will become our next epic crisis to deal with." "But if it's magical in nature what good are we going to be to deal with it?" said Cyclops. "There's still many ways science can be used to fight back," said Beast. I nodded. "Doctor McCoy is right. Science is very much still formidable in even cases such as this. It's all about fighting it in the right way; that's all."

"Well, the X men stand behind you," said Charles. "I will make certain of that." "Thank you pro - Charles. What do think of the mutant vibranium offer with Wakanda?" Charles sighed at that. "Not good. Anything that can create further tension between mutant kind and humanity will not bode well for either." "I'm sorry if I made things more difficult there." "Don't be. You did what needed to be done to prevent escalation; escalation that very much could have become world war. The times are complicated." "I appreciate that Charles." "I meant it. Still, I must be extra careful where mutant matters are concerned. Magneto might try to take advantage of it. We've had a certain...balance of late. I'd like to keep it that way." Even in this reality Magneto and Charles were still old friends/recurring enemies. Their association was complicated like mine was with brother. So I could appreciate those many nuances whenever they clashed.

"We definitely understand. We still ultimately represent Stark industries in most matters but those matters are not opposition where mutant concerns are," I said. "Obviously that's not true with all capitalistic entities, but many such entities are not Stark industries either." Charles nodded. "I can agree with that. And I think you and Mister Parker here are doing well to get that point across. You prove that things are not black and white; that there is gray; and that despite this nebulousness many such seemingly opposing things can still coexist and work together to achieve a common goal. It's a solid similar metaphor for what our struggle as mutants has been about for so long." "Yes, but your struggle is much more serious, with survival implications." "Yes, but a thriving society that is tolerant of all makes things better for all by extension. In your own way you are helping to do that. All of these things connect on many levels big and small; it just doesn't always seem that way. I just wish I could get those like Magneto to see it." "Maybe in time you will. But as for these demonic threats there will be no such reasoning with them. My brother wants hate and cruelty to abound everywhere he goes. He thrives on it. Other villains might just be misguided but not him. War is who he is and always will be. And not just physical war but spiritual as well."

"You are very wise wonder woman. Can you and your husband stay here for the time being? We'd be honored to have you." "Sure. Anything we can do to help." "And as you love science Mister Parker I am sure Henry here can help you...keep busy while you are here in your downtime." Peter brightened at that idea. Beast was behind him and put two furry hands on my husband's shoulders. "It would be my pleasure professor. Mister Parker, if you will come with me?" Peter looked at me like a little kid needing permission. I wrinkled my nose/smiled/nodded. They were gone an instant later to do nerd things.

"I didn't mean to probe your thoughts...but I sensed my previous parallel counterpart's connection with you. You were friends..." I nodded. "Albeit briefly." "Yes... In any event, I sensed how hard this has been for your husband to bear." I looked down at my hands/nodded slowly. "It has been for him yes; but we've come a long way together all the same." "Yes, and his marital bond with you has made things that much better as well." "It has; for both of us." "And I'm sure that will be the case in the days ahead. Jean and Scott here are engaged." "Congratulations," I told them. "Thanks," said Scott. "We hope to be as strong as you guys are." "You'll do fine. Just remember - love conquers all."

"Would you show Diana to their room?" said Charles. "Sure thing," said Jean. "Come with us Diana. We'll make you feel right at home."
