"Give me that!" said Scott, temporarily forgetting his good manners. He snatched the card out of Miss. Piggy's hands.

            "Mr. Sinister Productions!" he exclaimed.

            "We've already been over that Scott," said Jean in an annoyed tone. She turned to address the assembled muppets. "Where did you all come from? Why would Mr. Sinister be after you?" The muppets all exchanged uncertain looks, except for Animal who was happily head banging to music only he could hear and muttering Wolverine under his breath. Finally, a short, brown rat spoke up.

            "We wanted to meet the X-men so we came here," said the rat.

            "Came here from where?" Jean persisted. The fuzzy bear spoke up.

            "There was this white room – "

            "And aliens. They said they were related to me and…" The rat clamped his hand over the blue whatever's mouth.

            "Don't mind Gonzo. His mind has a tendency to change universes when he's not looking," explained the rat. Jean sighed.

            "Well, since your mind is in this universe, would you mind telling me where you came from?"

            "They can't Jean," said a voice in a familiar accent. Everyone looked up. Standing in the doorway was Gambit, his face looking grim.

            "Where have you been?" demanded Scott, "Jumping out windows just because of a few muppets?!" Remy shrugged.

            "Eh, dat was de hangover speakin. After I calmed down and had de chance to tink it over, I realized who de were." He paused and Kermit approached him. He walked up to Remy and looked very seriously into Remy's eyes.

            "And who are we Mr. Lebeau?" He asked the question and all the other muppets leaned in, as if their very lives depended on his answer.

            "You're living beings created without all dat bothersome flesh and blood. Perfect for Sinister's evil plans, not to mention marketing potential."

            "How can you be sure about this Remy?" asked Rogue.

            "Had a chat with Sinister. He's waitin out front. 'Parently de doorbell's broken."
