"Oh, look at all the cute little baby seals!" Karma almost leaned over the edge of a seal habitat at a marine life theme park.
"Aren't you going to stop her?" Gi asked with a slight edge of concern.
"I probably should." DM said, "But if I interfere she won't learn her lesson."
DM, Gi, Althea and several Misfits and X-Men were sitting at a circular picnic table not to far away; enjoying a nice afternoon lunch.
"Which would be?" Althea looked over at the oblivious Scion.
"AHHHH!" Karma screamed as she toppled over into the habitat and made a large splash. A second later she was back above the habitat, still sopping wet. She immediately went back to looking at the baby seals.
"That." DM said plainly.
"So, how you feelin'?" Raphael asked the nervous looking Planeteer.
"Oh fine." Gi lied, and everyone could tell.
"Now Gi, lying to yourself is not productive." Fred said as he tossed a fish into the habitat. "It's called denial, right Psyche-Out?"
"That's right Fred, now let me do my job ok?" Psyche-Out smiled.
"Denial?" Gi shrieked, "I'm not in denial, I'm in a new dimension, I don't even know if my family is still the same, hell, I don't even know if I'm still the same! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO QUESTION THE VALIDITY OF YOUR EXISTENCE?"
"I do." Xi said calmly, while Rina nodded. "I was created as weapon, and even though I have my family in the Misfits, I still often wonder what my purpose is; if I was meant to be more than just a weapon."
Gi bit her lip, "Sorry."
"I don't think you need to apologize." Althea said with a smile. "Just relax."
"Easy for you to say, you have all your friends as back up." Gi sighed, "And while I trust the others to be there for me, your villains here scare me."
"That's good." Rina said quietly.
"Ignore Princess Perfect-Combat." Raphael said, "You don't have to worry about the lunatics here, just worry about your guys that came here, keep your eyes on them and if you need our help or their help, just ask, that's what friends are for."
"Wow." DM was slightly shocked.
"Shut up, I can be nice." Raphael snapped.
Gi chuckled lightly, "Thanks, but I think I have to work through this myself."
"Now that is denial." Perfection said as he appeared, he was giving Wanda a piggyback ride.
"Hey P, how'd it go?" DM asked.
"Take a guess." Perfection winced as the others from Perfection's group appeared from a portal.
"Hey, I know how you feel." Lance was talking with a very depressed Wheeler, "Well sort of, if you want out and out rejection that's Lina."
"Yeah, thanks." Wheeler said his voice almost as hollow as his look.
"What's wrong Wheeler?" Gi asked, he own worries momentarily buried.
"His pops pimp slapped hi, yo." Todd said, he received several discouraging looks. "What?"
"Well, that certainly is one way to put it." Wanda chuckled lightly. "But yeah, Wheeler's father is not on any of our Christmas card lists."
"I thought you were Jewish?" Perfection asked in confusion.
"Christmas has no religious affiliation anymore, it's all corporate." Todd explained.
"Besides if Kitty found out imagine what she'd do to Rogue." Wanda said. "And Pietro and myself."
Perfection took a second to think and then shuddered. "I see your point, but this means I have to rethink all the holiday dinners!"
"Oh no." Wanda groaned. "We aren't orthodox!"
"So, no cook for Jewish Holidays?" Perfection asked in confusion as he fabricated a fake prayer shawl.
"Somewhere, someone is going to be seriously offended by this." DM groaned.
"No." Wanda growled in embarrassment. "Now change back."
"Ok." Perfection shifted back to his normal look.
"Right, well getting back to my friend…" Gi turned back to Wheeler, "Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I just need some time." Wheeler's voice was still hollow from the shock.
"It's all right Gi, he'll be fine." Karma said as she appeared by Gi and gave her a pat on the back. "He's got a lot of positive things coming his way."
"Like?" Wheeler asked with a sneer.
Karma was about to respond, but DM clamped a hand around her mouth. "Good things."
K2 then appeared in a bright flash, "We're all set!"
"All set for what Tin-Can?" Perfection rolled his eyes.
"Yachting." K2 gave Perfection what could be taken as a glare.
"Yachting?" Perfection arched an eyebrow. "Please, if you're gonna try to plan something fun, you might want to consult the master of it."
"I don't consult people who get stuck in Bathroom stalls." K2 definitely gave a glare.
"Well I don't help things that turn INTO bathroom stalls." Perfection shot back.
"Why I oughta!" K2 screeched.
"Ok, everyone prepare for some ocean bound fun." DM smiled.
"What about those two?" Wanda asked as she jerked a thumb towards K2 and Perfection who were now trying to bash each other's skulls in.
"They'll get tired eventually." DM said as the world shifted to a large yacht. "So just relax."
"Right." Wheeler snapped.
"Don't make me give you an attitude adjustment." DM looked over the rim of his glasses.
"Right." Wheeler said as he slouched into a deck chair.
DM just sighed, "You're going to give yourself an ulcer kid."
A few hours later the yacht's pool was mostly full with the Misfits and X-Men who had joined along. Rina, Raphael and Wheeler where not enjoying the pool; however, they were taking the opportunity to spar on the slightly off balanced ground.
"Hey come on guys this is actually kind of cool." Donatello smiled as he drifted, on a blow up raft, by the two sparing partners.
"No thanks, I have no need to cool myself." Rina said.
"It's not about cooling off." Raphael said as he took a kick to the chest. "Ow, damn girl that hurt." Rina just smiled.
"Yeah it's about having fun." Althea, Jean and Gi swam up to the edge, behind Donatello.
"Yeah." Donatello took a sip of his drink with a cocky smile.
"You three think you can get rid of him for us?" Raph asked.
"Sure." Jean smiled as she lifted the cup out of Donatello's hands.
"Hey!" Donny shouted right before his small raft was tipped over. When he surfaced he had a light smile on his face. "Can I have my drink back now?"
"Sure." Jean chuckled as she lowered the cup to Donny's hands.
"Ah, sweet lovely coconut milk!" Donny smiled as he made his way out of the pool.
Gi let out a loud laugh, and everyone's attention was turned. Well everyone but Rina, who delivered a kick to Raphael that sent him reeling back into the pool.
"Wow." Althea smiled. "Someone's lightened up."
"Well, I guess after being on edge for so long I just needed a break." Gi smiled
"Told ya." DM said with a smiled, "Now if you'll excuse me I need to go make sure that Wraith doesn't kill Linka and Peter."
"What?" Jean and Gi both turned and gave the Scion a concerned look.
"Relax, I didn't mean literally." DM chuckled, and under his breath; "I hope…"
