Raven calms down a little and looks at his husbands and kids. He says, "It looks like we'll be heading to the Excelso Prae Omnibus Aliis. Hopefully Nate will meet us there."

Everyone can still see the fury in Raven's eyes. They all hurdle together, and Raven wraps his magic around them all, and with a flash of fire they area teleported away.

Scene

A young man with golden skin and gold hair was trying to heal a woman with red hair who was wearing all green. He is Josh Foley also known as Elixir.

The woman keeps repeating the same words "Now and Forever." She is Jean Grey and the most powerful mutant to ever live.

At one point another person joins them, this time it's a man with red skin, and black hair. He was wearing clothes in the various shades of gold, purple and white. He is Bennet du Paris also known as Exodus.

They are stopped by a young lady with black hair with a portion that's white. She was also wearing various colors of white, purple and gold. She is Eva Bell also known as Tempus.

Outside the strange looking building is another group of people, one is a young woman with red hair, who's wearing gold and white. She is Hope Summers.

Hope holding a gun to a woman with red skin, a heart figure on the forehead, tattoos running down cheeks, and glowing lanterns attached to the spine. Her tattoos and clothing were all in white.

Not even 2 feet away, a flash of fire erupts and out steps six people.

One is a young man wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. His brown eyes flicker every which way cataloguing everyone. His brown hair is was semi smoothed down. This was Spider-Man 2099 also known as Miguel O'Hara.

Another is a young man wearing black pants with no shirt, leaving his chest revealing his tribal tattoo. His normal blue eyes have turned blood red all thanks to his Berserker coming through. These blood red eyes are piercing and his black hair was up in a ponytail. This was Daken who preferred being called Akihiro.

The third male had orange skin, blue irises with black eye balls, his black hair was shorn short with two metallic like horns popping up at his hairline. He has tattoos up and down his arms. He was wearing an open button down shirt and grey joggers. This was Jon Ironfire.

The last man was the scariest, he had purple hair and silver eyes. Around his neck was a very powerful gemstone, called the M'kraan Crystal. He was wearing denim jeans and a loose fit black T-shirt. This is Raven Grey O'Hara, Ironfire Howlett; Elder God of Magic, Sorcery, witchcraft, crossroads, boundaries, ghosts, necromancy, Night, Infinite Names, and Chaos.

Another male is wearing all read, from his red shirt to his red boots and jeans. His blue eyes eyes as dark as Sapphires while his midnight black hair was pulled up into a man bun. This was Adam Stanislaus Essex also known as Arcane, and he was a Blood Mage.

The last member was a woman who was wearing all black from her black shirt, to her black boots and black jeans. She had long black hair with a tint of blue that was tied back into a braided ponytail, she also had complete heterochromia in which both eyes have different irises, the left eye (your right) was blue while the right eye (your left) was a light purple. Her lips were painted a dark blue just like those that possess the blood of clan Akkaba. This was Morgana Essex also known as Plas.

Raven says, "Jon and Akihiro keep an eye on Rebecca, would you dears."

Raven continues, Adam, Morgana, And Miguel with me."

These last four race is towards the wrecked building.

They entered and see Elixir and Exodus crying while Tempus was holding them. Jean Grey was still on the ground.

Raven gasped as he saw his mother in law in her current condition as she kept repeating the words "Now and Forever."

Raven looks at Adam, "Contact Nate now. I may need his help."

Adam nods and then his eyes begin to glow. He's using his abilities as a mage to telepathically contact Nate Grey also known as X-man.

Five minutes passed and Nate teleports to Raven's side. Nate gasps at the sight of his mother.

Raven says, "I am going to take the M'kraan Crystal and slowly insert it into her body."

Adam looks at his father, "You mean for Grandma to become the living embodiment of the M'kraan Crystal. Kinda like Aunt Wanda did for the Darkhold."

Raven chuckles, "Yes. It's been said that the M'kraan Crystal is the key to the whole multiverse and within it is the White Hot Room."

Raven then unhooks the necklace that helps the M'kraan Crystal. Ever so slowly he pulls the crystal off the Adamantium chain.

Once the crystal was in his hands, it slowly began to glow. Raven then begins to lower the crystal until it's hovering above Jean's heart.

Raven grabs onto Nate, while Adam, Morgana and Miguel hold hands and are passing some of their powers to Nate and they go from Nate into Raven.

Raven filled with this energy, starts to merge Jean and the crystal. Soon the crystal was fully inside Jean.

Raven looks to Elixir, "Elixir, get over here. I have implanted the M'kraan crystal, and with our help you will be able to help Jean."

Elixir rushes over to Jean. He holds his hands out over Jean and a good light begins to shine out of his hands. As Raven was still being touched, he takes about places his hands on Joshua's shoulders and passes into him the pooled powers.

Josh gasps at the load of powers, but he's able to see that the extra power helps him, and he's able to slowly heal Jean.

After Jean was healed, the Phoenix Force and the M'kraan crystal place a psionic bubble around her body to further protect her.

Raven stands up, and that's when he notices that there's blood on his clothes. With a flick of his wrist, he's wearing a skin tight black catsuit that covers him from neck down. On his feet are thigh high purple boots. Around his waist is a purple sash with a pentacle holding it together.

Raven turns from the others and begins to walk away.

It's when Raven has fully left the building when his family realizes that he's left.

Miguel says, "Oh Fuck."

Miguel knows exactly where Raven went, he's after Mother Righteous.

Miguel, Nate, Adam, and Morgana all race outside just in the nick of time to see Raven throw a massive uppercut to Mother Righteous, also known as Rebecca Essex.

Raven says, "You just tried to kill our mother. And she's the only being that can go up against the Dominion. Well besides Galactus that is. But you in your urgency to become a Dominion yourself, you didn't possess two fucking molecules that might have told you that that's was no need."

Rebecca spits out blood, and chuckles. She says, "Oh come now luv. That didn't hurt."

Raven begins to cackle. He says, "My dear, Rebecca. There are things that I know in which you don't. I know that the Rebecca in talking to is nothing more than a puppet that the real you created using magic. I know she's with the Crew and everything I do too you or say to you the original feels it."

Rebecca if possible turns a lighter red almost pink.

Raven says, Oh come now, Rebecca; oops Mother Righteous. You didn't think I'd know about you and the other clones. I know what those lanterns are. You aren't the only one who has some. But at least mine aren't tied to my back. And I know what really happened to the children of the original Rebecca."

Rebecca replies, "My children are dead."

Raven says, "hah. They are alive. Little Adam was given to me. And I kept him alive and he's healthy plus immortal now as he's a Blood Mage. And let's not forget little Morgan. See she has a pale blue skin tone and Nathaniel brought her to me, thinking that she was dead. But lo and behold she was alive and somehow either the original mother or original father was related to En Sabah Nur also known as Apocalypse."

Rebecca was stunned, she cannot believe what she's hearing.

She asks, "Why would he do this?"

Raven sighs and conjures forth a comfortable chair. He plops down and looks to his son daughter.

Raven replies, "I believe he was suffering from some sort of mental illness before he met the original Rebecca. After her death, he went to En Sabah Nur in hopes of receiving power. He had it and he ended up creating five different clones what with the fifth one receiving all of the information on the failed timelines."

Everyone was stunned.

Hope steps forward and asks, "Who the fuck are you?"

Raven smiles, "I am Raven Grey O'Hara, Ironfire Howlett; Elder God of Magic, Sorcery, witchcraft, crossroads, boundaries, ghosts, necromancy, Night, Infinite Names, and Chaos."

All the mutants were stunned. Raven continues with, "I'm married to Nate Grey also known as X-man; Miguel O'Hara Also known as Spider-man 2099; Jon Ironfire also known as Ironfire; and Akihiro Howlett who used to go by Daken."

Hope growls, "There's no way in hell that my father would marry you."

Raven begins to chuckle until it turns into a full on belly laugh.

Once Raven has calmed down he says, "Little Red, I never said your father. Nate is from the Age of Apocalypse and Age of X-man. He's the younger and better looking one."

This of course pisses off Hope, and she tries to mimic Raven's powers.

Raven smiles, "My dear Hope, you cannot mimic my powers. I just told you that I am a god."

Hope growls, and Raven chuckles. He says, "Don't test me, little Messiah. You seem to forget that The White Phoenix of the Crown created you. And here's in the heart of the Phoenix I can unmake you and return you to mother."

Tempus asks, "Who's mother?"

Raven sighs, "Jean Grey is the mother to X-man. And our mother-in-law, but we call her mother."

Everyone gasps.

Raven continues, "I've placed her in a psychic cocoon in the hopes that she will heal. As only The Phoenix and Galactus are the only beings that can take down Enigma."

Raven then stands and walks over to Proteus. Raven's hands glow, and the purple energy form slowly melts away revealing a handsome young man with blue eyes and brown hair.

Raven says, "my darling child. I am so sorry for what Moira said to you, Kevin. You aren't an experiment. She said those things in the hopes that you would kill her and then get into trouble with the Quiet Council. And then no more Resurrections. But she forgot herself and you. She let her xenophobia get the better of herself. Plus you have the members of the Five as your new family."

After hearing those words, Kevin gasps, and begins to cry. These aren't sad years, but tears of relief. That it's ok to hate the person that used to be his mother.

Kevin moves back and the other members of the Five surround Kevin and hug him. Some know what it's like to have their parents hate them.

Raven moves back to his chair, once he is sitting down, he pulls out his cybernetic glasses and sets up his interactive keyboard.

Raven was checking his domains, plus he's checking on the mutants that are on Earth.

He sees that Scott was released and was getting help from Dr. Alia Gregor. He overheard Nimrod talking about Sentinel City. He even witnessed the death of Dr. Gregor.

Raven watches as Lorna helps out ShadowKat (shadow kitty) and Magik. But what disturbs Raven most is watching a clone of Akihiro being dismembered by Sabertooth.

Raven says, "I need the following mutants to be front and center of me."

Raven a breath and says, "Clarice Ferguson AKA Blink, Hisako Ichiki AKA Armor, Maximus Jensen AKA Mammomax, Jono Starsmore AKA Chamber, and Manuel de la Rocha AKA Empath."

It takes a while but, the five mutants are soon standing to the side of Raven who was still looking at his heads up screens.

Raven turns from his computer screens and looks at the five mutants. He says, "Logan is battling Victor Creed AKA Sabretooth. I want you guys to be there as back up. As knowing Creed he doesn't like to play by any rules."

Raven then flicks his fingers at the group, changing their clothes into Battle uniforms. Raven stands and walks over to Jono, and touches his face. What Jono came are is that Raven is slowly healing his face.

Once Jono was healed, Raven conjures a mirror to which Jono gasps. His face is while, but he the blue lips, facial markings and Akkaba tattoo return from when he was given the blood of Apocalypse years ago .

Raven says, "I changed the way the blood would've changed your skin tone. It cannot be helped that you are related to him."

Chamber asks, "How will I use my powers?"

Raven smirks, "You still have telepathy. Maybe later a telepath can help you develop it further. But you still have the Psychic flames, but they can either shoot out of your hands or from the Akkaba marking on your chest."

Jono thanks Raven. Raven just smiles and walks to Blink.

Raven says, "Clarice I'm going to implant the information for you to teleport the team to. I am also giving you all ear buds so you can talk to me and hear me "

Clarice nods, and with a glow of his eyes, he implants the coordinates for where Logan and Victor were Fighting.

Blink turns to the others and says "Hang onto me. Raven will teleport us back to earth. But I have directions to Wolverine's location."

Raven hands over the earbuds and mics. Everyone puts them on and once they are holding onto Blink, Raven teleports them away.

Raven turns back to his computers and watches as Blink and her team arrive on Earth. And then watch as she teleports her team close to where Logan and Victor were fighting.

Raven was looking over the new X-team when he gets an idea. He flicks his fingers at the screen and ends up teleporting the Juggernaut from Earth to the White Hot Room.

Juggernaut removes his helmet and asks, "Where am I?"

Raven says, "You are in the White Hot Room. I brought you here since Cyttorak no longer had empowered you "

Cain removes his helmet and says, "Yeah. I'm no longer as strong as I was. I guess since I didn't want to destroy anymore, he took back the crimson gem "

Raven smiles, "The Gem did help you though. You have the X-gene, but when you first found the Gem, it had been dormant. Now though, you have a mutant power. But if I gift you a different Gem, it could help you develop your X-gene more."

Cain looks at this man and asks, "Who the heck are you?"

Raven smiles, "I am Raven Grey O'Hara, Ironfire Howlett; Elder God of Magic, Sorcery, witchcraft, crossroads, boundaries, ghosts, necromancy, Night, Infinite Names, and Chaos. Older than the Elder Gods of Earth."

Cain just goes huh, and asks, "May I see this stone?

Raven pulls it from his pocket space, the stone is called the Sorcerer's stone (not the one from Harry Potter). It changes color from black to a dark eggplant purple.

Raven says, "The color of the stone will reflect in your armor. If it's Black armor, it's God level powers; purple armor is Omega level. After the mutant massacre of the Hellfire Gala, the mutants of earth will need a great warrior. The Avengers have Thor and The Hulk. You were bad, but now you are on the side of good with some mutants. With this stone you can help protect them. What say you?"

Cain thinks, and with a thought his armor disperses and Cain was next in Jeans, Boots and a T-shirt. He says, "I'll take it. But retain the name Juggernaut."

Raven stands and walls closer to Cain. He says, "Brave yourself, for it's going to hurt."

Cain braces, and Raven slowly but surely pushes the stone into Cain's chest cavity. There's no blood as Raven was using his powers, but Cain was gritting his teeth, the veins in his neck popping up and sweat beading and rolling down his face.

Raven waves a hand removing the sweat and turmoil from his Juggernaut.

Raven asks, "How do you feel Cain?"

Cain smiles and transforms into his purple armor. He replies, "I feel awesome."

Raven smiles, he says "It's time to send you back to earth." And work a snap of his fingers teleports Cain back to earth.

Raven walks back to his chair and falls in it.

Akihiro, Miguel, Nate and Jon all huddle around their husband giving him love and comfort.

Raven takes a deep breath and sighs. He pulls out of the group hug and looks at the other mutants.

Raven looks at Rebecca, "Poor little magic user; if only you learnt better. Selene was right though, your version of magic tho old, has fallen out of favor. It may have existed since humanity began, but I'm older than humanity. And I will be taking your lanterns and the binding deals."

Rebecca snarls, "I'll never give them up. They are mine to do with as I please."

Raven chuckles, "You think that you have a choice."

With those final words, he holds out a hand and pulls from homunculus the orb lanterns. Next he snaps his fingers and the deals she had, land at his feet in scrolls.

Rebecca begins to laugh, "I'm a homunculus, little man."

Raven tsks, "Yes I know that. But I pulled the lanterns and deals from your true body where it's being held by Charlie X. "

Mother Righteous AKA Rebecca Essex was stunned. She seems to have forgotten that Raven is a God, an Elder God at that.

Raven looks at the deals and lanterns, with a snap of his fingers, they are teleported away to his home on earth.

Adam looks at Rebecca, "I was hoping to have some sort of reunion with you. But in my hopes, I forgot one thing."

Rebecca arches a brow and asks, "What's that, dearie?"

Adam sighs and replies, "The clone you (and not this puppet) is nothing to me. I was hoping that some part of my mother, of Morgana's mother would be in you. But Nathaniel destroyed the Original Rebecca and the clone is nothing. You have no feelings."

Morgana walks forward, and using telepathy says, "Ever since Raven told me about my parents, I wanted to meet you both. I met all of the clones except for Enigma. And every last one has disappointed us. From the crazy Geneticist mutant chimera, to the scientist that worked for Orchis to wipe out all of the worlds mutants, to the space pirate arms dealer to the crazy sorcerous bitch who is constantly looking for a way out. Adam and I wipe our hands if you."

With those final words from Morgana, Rebecca screeches in outrage.

She looks at Raven, "You did this. You brainwashed my children into hating me."

Raven snorts. "I did nothing of the sort. They made their own decision. I only introduced them to all of the clones. Hell, I don't want to introduce them to Enigma."

Rebecca snarls and launches herself at Raven.

Raven stops Rebecca mid air. He says, "You are really pathetic. Thinking you can attack me, a God."

Raven removes the tie from the earthly plane and begins to melt the homunculus.

Soon it was a red mud puddle on the ground and with a wave of Raven's hands, the puddle was banished from sight and the white Hot Room.

Out of nowhere, an alarm starts going off, Raven recognizes it as a soul in his domains is dead.

Raven races to his interactive computer and sees Emma Frost give Nathaniel Essex (Doctor Stasis) a heart attack that was caused by painful telepathic death experiences and his body was burned to ashes.

Raven smirks and holds his right hand out at the screen showing Doctor Stasis's death. A small pearl-like orb pops through the computer. Raven grasps it, and brings it up to his eyes.

He chuckles and summons up his Pearl necklace.

He adds it to the others, which are souls that are a part of his afterlife. Romulus is one soul, Warren Worthington III is another, while Sebastion Gilberti AKA Bastion, Dr. Abraham Cornelius, and various others.

Eva Bell asks, "What are the orbs?"

Raven smiles a devious smile, "The orbs are souls. The orbs or pearls that are black did really awful things in their lives. Some are the souls of Dr. Abraham Cornelius, or even Henry Peter Gyrich. While the gray and white ones are either neutral souls or good souls. Some gray ones for a few bad things but in the end they stopped."

Fabio Medina asks, "What are you going to do with them?"

Raven replies, "Some of the White and Gray orbs are mutants that haven't had the chance for resurrection. I can hand them over to you and the rest of the Five. While the Black Orbs will stay right where they are. They are experiencing their own level of Hell. And depending on the soul, they can turn from black to gray. It's rare for one to become white."

Just as Elixir was about to speak, Raven and Nate clutch their heads and scream.
