Madelyne Pryor led Mai Valentine to a fancy café. The two mutants stepped inside. A pale skinned dark haired woman sat alone at a table in the corner. She was dressed in a black corset, black leggings and black boots. Madelyne knew that this was the woman that she was looking for. She approached the table with Mai Valentine by her side.

Selene Gallio, better known as the Black Queen, saw the Goblyn Queen approach her table. She also noticed the hot pink haired female that was with her. The sight of the other woman filled her with irritation. "You're late. Also, you told me you were coming alone!"

Madelyne sighed. She had told Selene that she would come alone but things hadn't exactly gone as planned. "It's complicated but the reason that I have come has not changed. I would like you to join my Sisterhood of Mutants."

Selene was shocked. She knew that Madelyne had disbanded the original team. Selene decided she would find out why Madelyne was forming a new team. "Why should I join?"

"I am forming a new team for protection. The Purifiers are becoming a threat "

Selene was not satisfied by Madelyne's answer but she decided to give her one last chance to convince her to join. "I am immortal. I do not have reason to fear the Purifiers."

Madelyne was stunned. She had thought that Selene would accept her proposal. Madelyne tried to come up with another reason to convince her to join but she couldn't come up with one.

"You should help us because if you don't the mutant race could be destroyed by the Purifiers!" Mai Valentine blurted out.

Selene thought about what Mai had said. "The girl has a point. I will join your Sisterhood of Mutants."

Mai was angered that this woman had referred to her as a girl. She was eighteen so she was technically an adult. "I am no girl! I am the Harpie Lady!"

Selene would have been angered but she was impressed with by the girl's courage. "You are still just a girl to me but I am impressed by your mutation. I have never seen a winged mutant like you before."

"Thanks?" Harpie Lady said. She was unsure if it was compliment or sarcasm.

Madelyne would have been content to allow the two to continue speaking but she was on a time limit. "We must be on our way. We have one more to meet with."

"I must gather my things. Where is your base of operations?" The Black Queen said.

"Our current base is my apartment." Madelyne replied.

Selene was filled with disgust. She hated apartments. They always felt too crowded especially when more than one person was living there. It was one of the many reasons that she lived in a mansion. "I don't do apartments. I would prefer us to use my mansion. It has plenty of space."

Madelyne Pryor was surprised by Selene's generosity. Little did she know that Selene had offered her mansion because she hated apartments. "We can use your mansion as our base."

"Then it is settled. I will go to my mansion to prepare it for use as a base. Here are the directions." Selene gave both women the directions to her mansion before leaving to prepare her home for use as a base.

Harpie Lady turned to the Goblyne Queen "That was very generous of her." She said.

"It was." Madelyne agreed. "We should head to our last meeting for the day." The two mutants got up and left the café.
