Chapter 4.

Caz was starting to get more concerned about her daughter then she ordinarily would have been. Of course the lass needed space but she had been the one to find Janice and as old and worldly as she was, she did not know what effects this would have had on her daughter.

She stared at the laptop for a moment, and then checking the time she put her headset on and pressed the Skype application then waited.

Luna closed her eyes for a moment then opened them to see a tall, dark red haired and green eyed woman standing before her in a pair of jeans that hugged her in all the right places and a t-shirt that left very little to the imagination. A long gothic looking coat sat around her like a comfortable shroud and Luna wondered if she had done the right thing.

Of all the immortal witches and magi's she knew, this one was part of a family that had been doing this sort of thing far longer then she had been alive and she knew that the woman before her was a lot older then she looked.

She might have looked in her late twenties early thirties but she was defiantly older then that. Of all the covens in Europe, east and west there was none more feared then the Constantine's.

There were three of them, Anna lived in Los Angeles and she was the eldest and the head of the coven that covered the whole of what had been the USSR. Nikoli was the second born but he was the master of the black arts, that did not make him evil, it was just his area of expertise and you really did not want to piss him off.

Then there was this woman, the youngest member of the clan who specialised in the many forms of demonology and all the realities that might encompass. Nikita Constantine also known as Imperium in her super hero guise had been the only one that she could trust with this.

She stepped to one side and let Nikita in. The Russian woman arched an eyebrow and waited for Luna to shut the door.

"Now" Nikita asked in a strange and yet beautiful mix of a Russian and Scottish accent, then Luna recalled that she had been living in Scotland for a lot of years and the local dialect had merged with her natural one. "What is going on?"

That was Nikita, blunt and too the point, Luna wrung her hands a little and scratched her ear.

"The Hatter" She whispered "I think she is doing something, bringing the game back"

Nikita swore vehemently under her breath "You had better tell me what you know child"

Luna was afraid she was gong to say that.

Caz picked her coffee up and smiled little as the beautiful and attractive features of Jean Grey appeared on her laptop screen.

"Hey Caz" She grinned

"Hey Jeannie"

Jean Grey, second only in power to Charles Xavier and the matriarch of the X-men themselves beamed and Caz thought how lovely she looked. Her green eyes sparkled and she never seemed to let anything bother her.

Not bad for a woman who had been dead and cloned and resurrected more times then Caz could count.

"So what can I do for my favourite Brit?"

Caz shook her head a little "Sorry to bring this up Jeannie but well Angie lost her best friend a few weeks ago, she committed suicide, and Angie found her"

"Oh my god" Jeans smile faded "You need me to come spend some time with her?"

Caz smiled a little and lit a cigarette "You do not need permission to come here Jeannie you know that. Thing is I remember what you said you went through when your best friend Annie died"

Jean rubbed her brow with an elegant finger and nodded, even now the memory was still a painful one and she had been 15 then now at 25 it was still an ugly memory for her.

"Annie wasn't quite dead so I got her last thoughts and her wishes. Was Janice dead when Angie found her?"

Caz pulled a face and shook her head, "Angie tried to bring her back, but it was too late"

Jean ran her hand down her face and the sorrow hit her eyes, she liked Angie, she was a rarity in the mutant community; her powers had surfaced when she was five years old and they still had not peaked yet.

If Janice was still alive then Angie would have shared those last moments and even though she had known Albian for a long time, the mother that Caz was right now showed all the worry and concern that any mother might have.

"I'll be on the first flight tonight" Jean promised, "I think you might need some help with this"

"Thanks Jean, I appreciate it. Lemme know what flight you on and I'll pick you up"

Jean grinned and disappeared from view.

Caz sat back she was relieved for Jean to be coming over. Give her a GSIB maniac or other super powered control freak and she was fine, but telepathy and all that, which was way out of her league.
