Wild Things
Arak Corral
Irene was having fun a pleasant time, it was a nice place and thanks to sample from Boy, she was having a fine time and if anyone asked her, she could just say that she was distributing ambient energy into a laserblast, which wasn’t too wrong as she had added her own spin to it, turning his heat beams into a disintegrator, as she had went and walked through, Irene heard a roar.
Curious, she had went and headed over to the source where she saw that there was four mutants there, one that looked around her age and green, then there was Pixie, as well a Cable, seeing them, Irene had went and smiled before she had decided to go and walk away, as she did so, Irene was curious on what what was happening before she saw that there was a green girl falling above.
Reacting, she had went and grabbed the boy, “Hi there.” Irene said with a grin, her cat-like eyes staring at him at the moment before she had locked Boy away and helped him down, “I’m Irene.” she went offering her hand to the green boy, “I’m Fauna,” he had went, “You’re friends with Curse too, right?” he asked her, “Yep.” she said before they heard a voice, “I ALWAYS WANTED A BIG ASS SWORD!” Cable shouted.
That made Irene and Fauna approached them, hearing that, they went and approached as they had heard a voice clear their throat and Cyclops appeared, at that, she had went and used ForgetMeNot before walking away, glad that she could turn it off and on as she had walked back to the island when she had started to see something, it was a space whale, making her smile.
Seeing it starting to approach the island, Irene got curious so she had decided to head back, pulling out a speedster she got a while back before running to it, searching for where it would be landing before realizing where it was that she was going to be ending up now, Irene more and more excited to see a whale from space, forgetting for a moment what exactly it could mean.

Akademos, During X–Men #8–9
Irene had arrived right as the whale had crashed, making her grin as she had noticed that there was a swarm of insect like creatures, Brood if she remembered, started to attack, seeing this, Irene had went and pulled out Boy again before adding her own spin on it as she had went and fired upon a few of them, as she had done so, Irene saw as the others were firing before she decided to switch it up.
Irene had went and converted it to her hands before making a clap like she had seen The Hulk do in videos, waiting until they were close before she had went and made her own thunderclap, knocking many of them away from her and firing upon them all with her blend of Boy, taking out a few of them some more before something strange happened, the adults had went and taken a egg before running.
As soon as they had left, the insects had started to follow, taking the whales with them as well as all of their corpses, seeing them Irene pouted at the loss of whales but was also curious on what exactly it was that they were going to be heading towards, but right now, they all needed to start cleaning up the damage that had been made here, Irene had went and started to disintegrate the remains.
As Irene had went and gotten through some of them while the others were all cleaning them up their own way, Irene had felt a hand on her shoulder, making her turn her head after shutting off the power, “Yes?” she had asked, just as she noticed that it was Excalibur who was helping with the clean up, “Hey der Irene.” Gambit had said with his wife beside him, both seeing her disintegration ability.
“So you can disintegrate wit yer eyes eh?” Gambit had asked, still not answering the absorption question, “Kinda,” Irene had told them, “I can take and distribute energy however I wanna.” Irene had told them, “I can take in a blast and make the energy into a thunderclap or a laser beam.” she had lied to them, showing her finger turning green before making a small boom.
That had made them look in surprise at that, the two of them saw the green, but was really interesting was the fact that it answered why she wasn’t absorbed, Irene had stopped it subconsciously, “So you’re helpin’ with cleanup sugah?” she had asked the girl, “Yes Rogue.” Irene had went, “You wanna help?” she had asked them, the two of them smiling before going to do as much.
The adults going ahead and helping out the young girl as well as the others that were there, cleaning up when Irene had seen that there was one that wasn’t completely dead, the animal had went and attacked her, slicing her watch, Irene had glared at that before she had fired another beam, this one larger then before and making a few of the others go boom at contact as her suit started to malfunction.
“You okay petit?” Gambit had asked her, hurrying over when he saw that her hair had changed, becoming– before he could see any more of it, Irene had reacted and took one of the Nightcrawler bombs and teleported, vanishing from his sight but curious on why she had looked so much like a little Rogue at that moment, looking to his wife who had seen a similar thing.

Bar Sinister, Krakoa
Irene was panicking as she had went and gotten a spare, thankful that she had went and gotten a few of these image inducers set up beforehand, as she had went and put it on, Irene had went and checked her face, relieved at the sight that was her fake self again before she had decided that it was time for her to go and read for a while now, not wanting to be a bother when she saw there was a message.
It was one from Gabby asking if she had wanted to hang over at the Green Lagoon, curious she had decided to take her book with her as she had went to The Green Lagoon to go and hang out with Gabby, as she had left, Irene decided that a little bit of another Speedster would help her out as she had went and ran by the Rogue and Gambit who had just barely caught sight of the girl.

The Green Lagoon, Krakoa
Irene had found herself in the The Green Lagoon where she saw that Gabby was going and having some fun with snikt roulette, it seemed that Daken had went and lost, as Logan had went and walked away and the others had went and celebrated the game before Irene had went over to her friend, “Hey Gabby!” Irene had shouted as the young sniktling had seen her, “Hey Irene!” Gabby had went.
The two girls had grinned at each other, “So what’s up?” Irene had asked as she had went and opened her book which got Gabby’s attention, “I heard about the Brood and wanted to hear what you did there.” Gabby had said as she had seen that there was a signature on it from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, “I followed the whales, when I saw the bugs, I started to shoot them before the X–Men had went and taken them.”
She had said, that made Gabby curious as she had seen that it was a first addition, “Where’d you get this?” Gabby had asked, hearing this, Irene had looked up, “From Mystique she had told me to be careful–” “Wait, you got this from Mystique? I thought that she hated everyone but Rogue?” Gabby had asked, hearing that, Irene reacted, “She likes me, that’s all I can say.”
That had made Gabby curious as she had remembered what Gambit told them, how Irene Adler was The Irene Adler during that time, Sherlock Holmes was someone else but she didn’t remember who it was, “Apparently this is the unedited version of it, only a dozen of these exist.” Irene had told her, showing that the story was different from before, involving both of them.
As they had read through it all again, Irene had noticed that rogue and Gambit had went and entered the Green Lagoon, seeing this, she had went and crouched down, trying to not let them see her before remembering that she still had a speedster locked in, “Ooh, funny drinks!” Irene had went, heading to a crowd before she had went and ran, disappearing before realizing that she left her book behind.
Remy and Rogue had seen that Irene was with Gabby so they had went to go and greet her, “Hey Gabby,” Remy said with a smile, “Have you seen Irene?” she had asked of her, “Yeah, she went over–” Gabby had went before she had went and seen that she was gone, “Huh, guess she left.” Gabby went, “Left her book too.” Gabby said which had drawn their attention.
“May I?” Rogue had asked of Gabby which she had went and handed it to her, Rogue had went and recognized it, “Where’d you get this?” Rogue had asked, “Got it from Mystique, at least that’s what Reenie said.” Making Rogue all the more curious, Mystique would never share this, it’s one of the few things they had left of their Irene, Mystique would never–.
“You mind if I take this?” Rogue asked, “I’m just gonna return it.” Rogue had told Gabby, “Go ahead.” Gabby told them , “I’m gonna go and play with Aki anyways.” She said before heading back to her brother, at that, the two of them had went and looked at the book, “I think that Mystique has some answers to our questions.” she had said and her husband couldn’t help but agree.

Mystique’s Residence, Krakoa
The two of them had went and arrived at her home, seeing that Mystique had went and approached them, “Hello Anna.” Mystique had said to her daughter before seeing that she had a book that she had went and lent to Irene, “Hello there.” Mystique had went, picking up the book and flipping to see that there were no new stains on the book thankfully.
“Where’d you find this?” Mystique had asked of Rogue, “Irene had left it with Gabby at the Green Lagoon before she ran.” Gambit had went, making Mystique curious at that, “Huh, I’ll be sure to tell her to not do that again.” Mystique had told them, “Funny thing, Irene lent it to me, but you NEVER gave that to anyone.” Rogue had said, making them get curious.
The statement made Mystique look away, “I had gotten a little nostalgic, she reminded me of my Irene.” Mystique told them, making Rogue consider it, there was a resemblance, to someone anyways, “Next time they’re here, you mind inviting us?” Rogue had asked of her mother, hearing that, she gave a shrug, “That depends if Sinister knows.” Mystique said.
“Oh?” Gambit went, not liking the sound of that, “Why’s that?” he had asked and the two of them grew curious at her possible answer, “Because he seems to want only a certain group away from her.” Mystique had said, “A certain group?” Rogue had asked, “Yes, it appears mostly you two and people that know you.” Mystique had answered, “So why are you able to talk to her?” Rogue asked.
Hearing that, Mystique had given a shrug, “Sinister and I have plenty of… arrangements.” she said, making them curious, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a meeting, have a good day.” she said, leaving the two of them there and more and more curious as they had seen that there were items that a kid would have here, making them more and more curious at what was going on.

Bar Sinister, Krakoa, Hellions #1
Irene was enjoying herself, she was checking on the information that was there, looking through everything that her grandfather had made research on, it was all interesting and thankfully it seemed that Team Excalibur had went and gone to Avalon, good, that meant that they wouldn’t deal with any serious problems right now as she had decided to go and check out The Xavier Mansion.
It was something that she had been curious about ever since she had discovered that the X–Men had went and been formed, she had tried to get in there when she was a year younger or so but Sinister had always made sure that Malice or another of the more stealthy Marauders had kept an eye on her, only Malice though didn’t treat her like a child and so they became kinda sorta chums.
But now she had a chance, Irene had went and started to ready her pack when she saw that Sinister was there, “Irene, where are you going?” he had asked, his eyes seeing her pack, “I want to see The Xavier Mansion.” Irene had told her, “Sorry Irene, but I need to keep an eye on you,” he said, “Looks like I’m getting a team of my own.” he said, making Irene raise an eyebrow at that.

The Grove, Krakoa
Irene had watched as they had all been brought out, making her curious as Irene had watched them, Havok, Wild Thing, Empath, Nanny, Orphan–Maker and Greycrow, Irene was sure that Krakoa was watching her but they didn’t seem to care, “I would remind the council that ALL mutants are welcome on Krakoa.” Magneto said, “even the inconvenient ones.” he went towards them.
“Sure, but also: IF I HAVE TO BEHAVE, EVERYONE DOES!” Her grandfather said with a smile, making Irene laugh in her hands, “Throw them in The Pit of Exile!” he said which got Irene curious, “Ah, Mr. Sinister has something to say. Can you all tell how shocked I am?” Exodus said, making her laugh again as Grandmother had watched them start their little spat.
“Are your epaulettes getting bigger?” Sinister asked, “You want to go down this road, I will be on your ass every step of the way. Mister Sinister’s shoulder ornamentations will not be outdone.” Grandfather said, making Grandmother groan, “Kill me.” she went which got her more giddy before Emma Frost spoke, “Please. God. back to the point at hand…” she said to them all.
“What do we do with them?” she had asked, drawing attention back to the chained mutants in front of them, “I don’t know why I’M here.” Empath had said to them, “I was just having fun.” he said, making Irene curious what kind of fun it was that he was having to get him in this much trouble, hearing how they had been causing which made Irene grow curious as they got to Greycrow.
“You attacked a defenseless group of Morlocks, victimizing them yet again.” Storm said which Irene didn’t get, she saw his memory and it looked like they started it, “Haven’t you caused them enough pain?” she had asked him, “Guess not.” Greycrow said which made Irene think this was unfair, “This is troubling.” Xavier said, “We’ve given predatory mutants a home in paradise.” he said.
“It is out responsibility to make a place for them.” Magneto said, making him her favorite in that section right now, “Such is the promise of Krakoa. Yet–” Big Blue started before Grandfather interrupted, “Gonna stop you right there.” he said, “Do I see someone else in the back?” Sinister asked, “Don’t be shy! Let me get my peepers on you…” he went and so Alex Summers walked forward, “Hey.” he said, sad.
“Alex! Get out of there!” Cyclops said before turning to the others, “You put my brother in The Circle of Judgement without telling me?!” Cyclops had asked of them, “Scott… It’s okay…” Alex said as The Spring section had spoken up again, “This is the business of The Council.” Storm told him, “He put three humans in the hospital, Scott.” Jean had told him, “Two lost limbs. One’s disfigured for life.” she told him.
Irene had grown curious at that, “What are they talking about?” Scott asked his brother, “I don’t remember. I’m sorry…” Alex said, “I think my head might still be messed up.” Alex had told his brother, “He was going to kill him.” Uncle Kurt said, “He would have if Logan hadn’t stopped him. Logan.” Kurt had said, making her get worried if he had went and stopped Alex.
“Had there been a death, there would be no discussion.” Magneto had said, “No choice but to exile him to the pit.” he went, making Cyclops’ visor glow brighter, “In that case I would have no choice either.” he went as Grandfather had went and gotten to the front, “EVERYONE RELAX! UNCLENCH PLEASE! EYES OVER HERE! I’VE HAD AN IDEA! YAAAAAY!” he went, making Irene smile.
“Oh, clean up those poopy pants, Scotty.” he went, making her giggle, knowing that Irene was listening and he didn’t want to swear too much with her around, “I’m here to save the day! Come on, you’re so much prettier when you smile!” he had said before looking back to the council, “These aren’t predators! These are square pegs struggling heroically against round holes.” he had told them before stage whispering.
“That was a metaphor.” he said to Greycrow, “@#$% you.” he said as Sinister had spoken, “What will we, The Quiet Council of Krakoa, do with our outcasts? Our unwanted?” he had asked of them, “Medication? Incarceration?” Sinister had asked of them, “These are HUMAN solutions. They are sweaty and they are dumb and they are gee dee boring.” Sinister had asked of them.
“I know everyone on the council looks up to me,” Sinister had said, “But I have a confession: I to know the cerebral itch of madness.” Sinister had said, making her fake in surprise, “And I know madness can be put to good use. Even these crazy @#$%& right here.” he said as Nanny had spoken up, “Cover your ears, Peter.” she had said and Orphan–Maker did as much.
“I’ve not grown so accustomed to bureaucracy that I’ll let you prattle on indefinitely.” Big Blue had told him, “Reach your point before violence comes.” he had threatened towards Sinister, “These mutants have known only pain and suffering.” Sinister had said to them, “Except for Havok, who has no excuse.” he had told them all, “They know quiet only in carnage, peace only in violence, tranquility only in insanity.”
“If that is how they best express their gifts, who are we to stop them?” Sinister had asked of them, “Is not the expression of their mutation a birthright?” he had asked of them, “We have not yet codified it in Krakoan law.” Xavier said, “But we will. Sinister might have a point.” Magneto said, “Sinister?! You can’t be serious!” Cyclops said as Alex put a hand on his shoulder, “You have to relax…” Alex said.
“You’re objections are heard, Scott.” Jean had said, “I promise you. But the quiet council will decide how to proceed.” she told her husband, “Now leave us…” Storm had told him, “…So we may ponder Sinister’s proposal.” she had said, making Cyclops leave and Irene had decided to as well, a little excited at what it was that her Grandfather was planning.

Bar Sinister, Krakoa
Ireen was in a little balcony that she had found here a while ago as she had went and watched from up above as she had waited, curious as she had received a call from Mystique, “Hello?” she had asked, “Irene,” Mystique had said, “I just called to warn you.” She had said, making Irene curious, “You mean The predators that Grandfather had decided to take in?” she had asked of her.
“Yes,” she had said, “I want you to be careful.” She had told the girl, “I can handle myself!” Irene had said, she was tough, she can take out anyone in a few second, Mystique knew this, “It’s not their abilities I’m worried about, it’s their personalities.” Mystique had said, making her all the more curious as she had wondered about that.
“Nanny is the one I’m most worried about.” She had told Irene, “Nanny?” she had asked, “Yes, Nanny, there’s a chance she might try and abduct you like others.” She had said, making Irene curious, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her get me!” she had went before seeing that there was a people arriving an seeing that, Irene had started to quiet down, “Sorry, I gotta go.” she said.
Irene had went and shut off the comm device that she had on hand as she watched Sinister, the predators that were in the council meeting, as well as Kwannon had all started to get in, making Irene start to smile as she got curious and watching as things were getting more and more interesting right now at Bar Sinister as he was making his own super team now.
