"Now what are you doing here?" Jean demanded. "What is this, a new Hellion hangout?"

"We come in peace…" Yvonne said calmly. "We're here simply to talk."

"Talk…about what?" Scott demanded. Yvonne looked to her sister.

"Sharon…why don't you and Rahne catch up on old times while I have a few words with the X-Men?" Catseye was no fool and shook her head.

"What sister say to X-Men—and Misfits—you say to Catseye." She said.

"I need to gain their trust based on my own merit, not your own friendship with one of them." Yvonne reasoned.

"Why should we trust Catseye for that matter?" Bobby asked. "You Hellions just attacked Sky High!"

"Catseye wasn't there." Rahne spoke up. "Trust me, I'd know."

"Yeah, she was paying the Pit a visit." Althea noted. "Liberating Side-Splitter. We found out after the battle ended."

"I guess we should thank her for not wrecking our lab when she freed him." Daria said.

"Well why should we trust her?" Kitty snapped.

"Because she does." Spyder said, pointing at Naomi. She had run towards Catseye and started tugging on her arm for attention. Catseye grinned and picked the little girl up.

"Catseye miss Dolphin-Girl!" She said as she embraced Naomi. Naomi hugged her back.

"Hellion or no, Catseye is really good with kids." Althea said. "But we have to talk."

"Agreed." Yvonne said. "Sharon?" Catseye narrowed her eyes as she looked at her sister, but agreed to leave with Rahne.

"So…why are you here Celandine?" Scott asked, crossing his arms across his chest.

"To help."

"Help." He repeated. "Huh. Emma Frost's adoptive daughter, protégée, and Spyke's girlfriend wants to help us. Forgive me if I'm skeptical."

"This isn't about you." Yvonne shot back. "She wants to help her students."

"Some help she's been so far." Amira muttered as Lina used her silk to help bind the wounds Amira received during the Sky High fight. Amira had told Hank and Logan about the subcutaneous chip and had it removed while the others were arguing. Lina had her powers back and was putting them to good use.

Amira sighed as the surprisingly cool silk was used to bind up a burn she had on her leg. Yvonne glanced at her, but didn't answer.

"The question remains…" Althea said sternly. "What help do you have to offer? And what possible reason did Frost have do this to Vladimir and the Omegas in the first place?"

"To save the world." Yvonne answered.

"That's a pretty good reason." Pietro admitted.

"Miss Frost going to save Vlad and his friends." Sharon told Rahne proudly as they went into the next room. "Sister has telepathic command from Frost. Yvonne use it to deprogram Vladimir."

"Really? That's great! But, why?"

"One-armed jerk wants to hurt Omegas." Catseye growled and it took Rahne a moment to realize that she meant Pierce. "One-arm going to let nasty Snakes kill them."

"They're selling the Omegas out to Cobra?" Rahne asked in disgust. Catseye nodded.

"Miss Frost wants us to help save them. Miss Frost hates Pierce and hates Cobra."

"But why did she do this to Red Nova in the first place?"

"No choice." Catseye answered uncomfortably. "Miss Frost—and Inner Circle—need a champion, a Herald, so World-Eater not come. She trying to save planet. Red Nova supposed to catch Phoenix. Phoenix be Herald and world is saved. Miss Frost is…hero, yes?"

Rahne just stared. If this was true—Rahne certainly didn't doubt Sharon's word, but she may not have had all the facts—then the Hellfire Club was interested in its own hide, first and foremost. But that came later. The first thing she thought was.

"What's a World-Eater?"
