Charles. Charles. Lilandra said telepathically. Xavier was in his office looking out the window.

Yes, Lilandra.

I'm here.

Where?
Why don't you turn around and see for yourself. Xavier did just that and saw Lilandra standing on the other side of his desk.

"Is it really you or another image?" Xavier asked knowing the answer full well when he asked it.

"It's me!"

"What brings you here?"

"Bad news I'm afraid. Two of my prisoners have escaped. They were imprisoned when D'ken was in power. Just as I gain power to set them free this happens. I thought they might land her and if not then maybe you could help me find them. Charles are you all right? You look as if the weight of the world is upon your shoulders."

"I'm afraid it is or at least that of my X-men. The Black Fox's third daughter, Andrea was taken a few days ago and I am trying to figure out who took her. It's an impossible task you know."

"Charles did they land here? Their names are Knole and Nethogint."

"Yes. Yes. They landed here."

"Oh my goodness." Lilandra said as she grabbed a square panel and hit a button in the middle of the square. The Majestrix of the Shi'ar let the square go and it flotted in the air. Then a Shi'ar guard appered.

"Titan, I would like to speak with Gladiator."

"Yes, Milady." Five minutes later Gladiator appered.

"Majestrix!"

"Gladiator, did you attempt to recapture the prisoners?"

"Well, I........"

"It's as simple question really Gladiator. Yes or no?"

"Yes, I did."

"Did you or did you not abduct a young girl by the name of Andrea?"

"We did."

"Release her at once. She is the daughter of Black Fox, who is one of Xavier's prized pupils." Lilandra ordered the leader of the Imperial gard.

"I'm afraid I can not follow that order Princess."

"Why not?" There was silence, after gladiator vanished but then a young woman revealed herself. She had feather wings about her arms.

"Why not?" Lilandra repeated to the woman.

"Because younger sister, I am in charge now!"

"Deathbird! No! You were banished. How could you have possably made it past the gaurds?"

"Come now Lilandra. It is very easy when the lady of the house is off galivanting with her earth lover." Deathbird said mocking her younger sister.

"You have not won, Deathbird. Not yet anyway." Lilandra said as she turned the visuale com-link off.

"Who is Deathbird?" Charles asked.

"My evil, tormented, older sister. She was from ever ruling over the Shi'ar and from the Shi'ar homeworlds. She is just as evil as D'ken was. It apperes we will have to do things your way this time my love. We need the X- men."
