Katherine was stretched out above Boston when she first felt it, a vague nausea. It had been so long since she had felt anything that it disoriented her. Pulling herself together she swept back to the point where she was to meet the others. Then it happened again. This time bigger. If she had had a stomach it would be churning.

Floating above the ground she finally caught the attention of the trio of mutants. They were arguing about the Hellfire Club. About whether or not it was right to bring them in seeing as it was their fault this happened. Kitty wanted to say technically it was Mystique's fault but two things stopped her. One, she hadn't spoken in two years, and two at the moment she could barely bring herself together, much less make the effort to actually speak.

Rogue looked over and saw a vague shadow. "Shadowcat?" Then she realized what was wrong. "Shit, our times up." Rogue walked over to where a pale shadow of Katherine floated. "It's alright. In another hour you'll be back. We'll try again then." There was a moment of tension before, with a slight pop, Katherine disappeared.

Elsewhere the real Kitty reappeared, right on top of Toad. At his squeal the rest of the Brotherhood came over. Blob reached down and picked Kitty up.

"What's wrong with her?" Pietro asked of his sister, an amateur witch.

"She's been displaced and now put back. She's exhausted," Wanda replied after examining Kitty's aura.

"Wow, I mean, I didn't believe the X Men when they said something was wrong but, well . . . We should take her to the mansion." Lance said as he took Kitty from the Blob. He strode over to his jeep and put her in the back seat. "Let's go. Wanda you drive her car."

Deep inside the time nebula that directs all timelines. "Something is wrong, my lord."

Apocalypse turned to his protégé Holocaust. "What do you mean?"

"In our original timeline, the one that allowed us to come to power. Something is changing in the past."

"Explain."

Holocaust peered out at Apocalypse through his visor. "There have been ripples. Things have begun to change."

"You will go back and investigate."

"Yes, my lord." Holocaust left Apocalypse in his throne room and headed towards the time nexus, the place where all time meets. Holocaust is not a mutant; he doesn't understand their plight. What he did understand was power, which was why in the big battle of 2008, in which humans and mutants unite against Apocalypse he sided with Apocalypse. He was right though, because the humans and mutants had lost. But according to the timeline now, they hadn't.

Studying the dizzying lights that came from the nexus made Holocaust think. Somehow, in some way, time was changing, away from his favor.

Sorry it took so long, but my muse has come home. Let's play!
