I'm Finally Here!
Krakoa
Irene took a breath as she had started to think, using her other brains as processors rights now as she looked at her friends corpse, “Okay, first of all–” she went before hands stretched out from her body and slapped all but Anole who got punched, “Hey–!” Shut up! I blame you for this.” Irene told him, remembering the conversation as they had looked at her, “ALL of us are to be blamed.” she said.
Taking a breath, Irene started to plan, started to think, “Alright, I can get started on creating a circuit, I just need four more me’s and a good drain on the Five.” Irene told them, “I need you guys to play with Gabby’s flesh, make it look like she’s still alive.” Irene had said, “How’re we–?” “No–Girl, duh!” She had said, “While you’re doing that, we need a current version of her memories.” she continued.
“Which means that one of us has to steal a Cerebro or get a patch into it.” she had told them, “We’ll do it, you work on the body.” Tashi had told her, “Roger Roger!” Irene said with a salute before she became Five Versions of herself that were all running as fast as they could to The Hatchery so that they can stop one of their friends from being dead at the least.

The Hatchery, Krakoa
The five of them were all there and they were starting to get the abilities all sorted out, Tempus–Irene was the easiest, her memories no longer being linear had helped her with utilizing the temporal abilities, it was The Hope–Irene that was being the most difficult, “I don’t WANT to be her!” she had shouted out in anger towards the others, “I hate her personality!” “We all hate her personality.” Proteus–Irene said.
“But we like Gabby so get over it.” she had said and hearing that, Hope–Irene had grunted as Egg–Irene had seen that Proteus–Irene was starting to decay, “Hey, don’t forget to add some Morph in or else you’ll die.” she had said as Elixir–Irene was trying to go from Black to Golden so that she would be able to do the healing that they needed done, “Hey, can I get some help here?” she asked.
At that, Tempus Irene had looked her over, “Seriously? We’re not using Rot.” she had mocked, making Elixir–Irene glare back at her as Egg–Irene had went and created a crimson egg, “Is that okay?” Proteus–Irene had asked and hearing that, they had all looked, “I think so, I mean, it’s not like we’re an exact copy right now.” she had said, making the others nod at that.
The had started to figure out how this was all going to happen when there was a voice, “Eh hem!” someone said, making all five of them turn to see The Original Five, “I’m in trouble, aren’t I?” She had asked of them as one, “Stand aside lass, and let the professionals work.” Proteus said, noticing that she wasn’t breaking down as they had proceeded to bring back Gabby.

Gabby had crawled out of the egg goo, gasping for air as Irene wrapped her in a towel, “When will she…?” Anole asked, “She’s not in there yet, but the husk is still soothed by your care.” Hope Summers had said before going close and getting to work, “Right now.” she said with a smile, “Hello, Gabby. How are you feeling?” Hope had asked her, making Irene smile at that.

Irene, thankfully, got away with all of the crazy that had happened, Amahl Farouk though, there’s no doubt in her young mind that he was going to get into serious trouble as Irene had went and helped her mama with all of the bags and such, making sure that everything she would need was going to be there, “Okay! That’s the last of it.” Irene had went and dropped the bag.
“That’s great, now let’s get yours–” “Oh, I already have everything.” she said, showing her Sinister Space gate, “Plus I’m running on Dolphin brain so there’s nothing stopping me from chaos.” she had went before realizing that there was a metal manacle on her ankle, “Rude, but fair.” she said as Lorna walked over, “Doesn’t she have trackers installed?” Lorna asked of the two.
“Nomi told you, didn’t she?” the girl had asked, “Good thing I have them on my phone.” Rogue had said, making Irene click her tongue in annoyance, “Alright, so I can’t go free, that’s no fun.” Irene had said, “Too bad, so pick a–” “I choose Pere’s apartment, you got a big bed there and I always wanted to see it.” she said with a grin before vanishing in a puff of smoke, making Rogue hate she was glad for Sinister’s paranoia.

Irene had squealed in excitement before going and running around, liking everything that she saw that was there before running around, there was no food, but she had photosynthesis just in case and there was also a nice bed there, the young Mutant already running up the stairs and leaping in, laughing in joy at that as she had gotten a ring from her cell phone.
“If you’re wondering where I am, I stole your house key to it.” she had told her Mama, “Good to know.” Rogue had told her, “The place has got no food so I’ll be there with some in a bit.” She had told her, “Yes! I call cooking!” Irene had told her, “Now why’s that?” Rogue had asked, curious, “Because I know how to!” she said cheekily, earning a gasp from the other end.
“Irene!” “What? I absorbed Pere’s cooking skills and thought you’d like them?” she had asked as innocent as possible, that had made the woman groan, “Something tells me that you are the worst kind of troublemaker.” Rogue had told her as Irene had thought on that, “That is what Grandfather, the truancy officer, that store sleek and Aunt Claudine had said about me.” she said wondering what tonight would be like.
______________________________________________________________________
Irene who was working at the kitchen, smiled at the couple that had brought the food, “Ah swear, Ah can cook!” she told the two of them, “Oui, mon coure, but Reenie wanted t’ impress us.” he had said, ‘subtly’ winking to Irene which earned a playful slap to his arm, making Irene laugh as she had went and presented her meal to them, “Ooh! This smells incredible!” Rogue said with her husband agreeing.
“Thank you, I learned this from Grandfather Butler!” she had told them, making the two look in confusion, “Grandpere… Butler?” Remy had asked, “A Clone of Grandfather that worked as a butler for us!” she had told them, “He always picked me up at school and was the one that made sure I didn’t do anything a proper young lady shouldn’t!” She had told them.
That had relieved them, slightly, when another question needed to be asked, “So… we heard about Gabby and how you imitated The Five.” Rogue had told her, “And I would have gotten away with it! If The me that got Hope didn’t whine and complain the whole time! She had snarled, making them look in confusion, “Why was she complaining?” Rogue had asked in confusion.
“I don’t like her personality, she grinds my gears.” the little girl had told them, surprising the couple at that, they knew that Hope Summers could be… abrasive, but to think Irene didn’t like her, “So… what are you planning to do in New York City?” Remy asked, just so that they could be sure that there’s nothing that can cause serious problems for… anybody.
“Oh, I’m going to see the sights! Explore the city! Grandfather never let me come to New York City!” she had told them, “Why’s that?” Remy had asked of her, making Irene shrug, “The City’s a hotspot for Heroes, he didn’t want anyone finding out that I was here in life, in this universe.” she had said to them and hearing that, the two looked, “So where did you live all of this time?” Rogue asked.
“London mostly, but if there was a proper team, I usually went to Germany or France, one time I got to live in Rio for a time.” she had told them before taking a deep bite, “But otherwise, mostly England.” she had told them, “So you want to see what all of the hubbub was about?” Remy had asked, “Yeah! Like the Fantastic Fours Tower! I want to see if I can–” Irene started before pausing, “I can get a tour.”
The two knew that she wasn’t planning on just a tour, probably a break in, “Do you need a chaperone?” Rogue asked, both of them knowing the only right answer was yes, “Can it be Alice?” she had asked of them, making them both look, “You can ask, but what about Bling?” Remy had asked, hearing that, Irene had nodded at that, “I wouldn’t mind, but she’s probably busy.” Irene said to them.
“But I promise! I won’t get caught doing anything that will cause anyone worse than Spider–Man to come after me!” she had said, that had made both of them look towards her before looking back to her, “And don’t bring your friends here without an adult.” Remy had said, “Why?” Irene had asked of him, making Remy grin, “You know why.” he had said, making her blush while Rogue looked confused.
“I promise.” she said, “Wait, why would we need to worry about–?” “She takes after her Pere in romance.” he had told her, making realization and an interested look, “Really, which ones?” she had asked of her husband, “Nomi, Ove and Linea.” he had said, making Irene glare, “Pere!” she had shouted, making both of them laughing as they had enjoyed the night today.

NYC, New York
Irene was walking the streets of New York with a grin, wearing her hair in two braids, a T–Shirt with a Queen of Hearts on it with cargo shorts, she looked around in excitement, her first time unmanned, it was thrilling for her as Irene had went and walked through, as she had did as much, the young Mutant had went and headed towards the Empire State Building.
She had walked towards the doors, grinning before she had decided a little bit of Kate Pryde and Baubier to go ahead and fly upwards, going through the floors and upwards to the top, as she had went and reached the top floor, her phone had went off, revealing the news alert of The X–Men there, all of them fighting against a giant kaiju, “Awww, I want to fight a kaiju!” she had shouted.
The people there had looked at her confused and a bit surprised as Irene had went and given a nervous smile, “Me too!” a girl had said, making the mutant smile towards the little girl, she looked Four, “I’m going to be a superhero like my parents!” Irene had said, to her, “Me too!” she had said, both smiling at each other as a voice spoke up, “Dani, there you–”
The woman, her mother, Jessica Jones Cage. was approaching, looking at the two of them, “Momma! Pretty eyes!” The girl, Dani had said, making Irene smile, “Thank you! And you have a very pretty soul.” Irene had said, putting Jessica on guard, “Who–?” “Am I?” Irene had said, doing a very splendid bow if she said so herself, “Irene Lebeau, daughter of Rogue and Gambit.” she told them.
That made Jessica whistle at that, she never met them, but still, they were pretty famous, but there was still a important question, “Where’re your parents?” she had asked, making Irene show the footage, “Here!” she had said, making the woman look at the footage, “So you’re…?” “On my own!” Irene had told her, “But to be fair, I’m the equivalent of a–” she started before deciding better and just made the symbol.
Jessica’s eyes had widened at the nuclear symbol that was there and then back to her, “I take it that you’re in control?” she had asked Irene, knowing that no one would leave a kid that dangerous on her own as she stated, “Yep! And if I reach a certain level then my failsafe shuts me down.” she had whispered to her with a smile before phasing through the cage, making the people there started to scream.
“Tah!” she told them before hopping off, making the people there start to scream, Jessica about to go and save here when they saw that she had popped some wings and flew away from them, surprising the crowd with Dani smiling, “That’s pretty!” she had said, making Jessica smile but she was also worried as the private detective saw that there was a trio going after her.
______________________________________________________________________
Irene had been gliding through the city before there was a sound, that had made her look and see that there was Nomi flying behind her and seeing that, she had went and started to laugh, seeing the others there, “Hey there! Which Linea are you?” she had asked, going Northstar or Aurora now, “Linea The Skywalker.” That Linea had said as they had went and landed on a building.
“Hullo luvs!” she had told them with a grin as the three of them went and landed on a building, “New York! New York!” she had said with a grin looking down with a grin as the others gave her a look, “Why are you so enraptured by this… New York?” Linea, back to themself had asked of her, “Yeah, I mean I’ve been here before, it’s not that amazing.” Nomi said.
“Same for me.” Ove had told her as Linea had no reference so he had just looked at them all as if they were speaking in a different language, “Because I was never allowed here!” Irene said, “There was an invisible fence stopping me from coming her for years! And now that it’s down, I can come here and live with my parents! It’s been one of my dream!” she had told them, confusing the three.
“I thought that you wanted to create a Universe?” Nomi had asked, making Irene shrug, “That’s more of a project I’m going to work on later.” she had said, “This was unattainable until today!” she had shouted with joy before going and falling on her rear on the roof of a glass building, making them look towards the girl there, “Where exactly do you want us to go then?” she had asked.
Hearing that, Irene gave a grin before she had stretched her skin thanks to Skin and used some tattoo mutations to make a list, “Here’s where I want to go!” she had said to them, surprising the group there before they had went and started to think before they had spoken to each other, “Alright, “Let’s get going.” Ove had said as they had went to go and enjoy their day.
______________________________________________________________________
Irene was laughing as they had enjoyed the day, they had enjoyed Broadway, the parks and went to see some historic hero moments that were all there, “This was fun!” she had said, looking towards the trio, “We should do this again!” she had told them, making the three of them smile back to her as Irene had split into three and in unison went and kissed them.
“Disgusting…” one of the people walking by the quartet had said, making Ove glare in anger towards them as Linea started to change into Linea the wrathful as Irene changed her face to look like a Cthulhu horror, “I know!” she had said, making them run away in fear as she had went and laughed, her face returning to normal, “Why are you just laughing?” Linea had asked of her.
“Because it doesn’t matter!” she told them, “They’re just some stranger who I’ll probably never meet again, I only care if YOU think that, not them.” she had said as they continued to walk, “So, where to next?” Irene had asked them as they had seen that Spider–Man was swinging by, making her grin as she had looked like a Green Nightcrawler and bamfed in front of him, “Hiya!” she said.
He had nearly stopped and fallen before sticking to a wall which she copied, “Careful, I had the right of way.” he said, making Irene giggle as she had went and made herself look like her normal self as Irene had waved to the others, “So then, I take it you’re from Krakoa?” he had asked her, making Irene nod, “Yep! I’m Irene Lebeau!” she said, and down there are Magneto’s Granddaughter and Namor’s son!”
That made Spider–Man look to the three, “Wow, looks like you all got busy– wait, that doesn’t make sense.” he had said as she had went and walked onto the air, “Yep! We’re all factory made!” she had said and hearing that, the hero was more confused as she had went and walked over to the others before remembering, “Can I get a selfie before we leave?” she had asked of him.
“Sure–” he started as she pulled out her eye, it growing wings as Linea and the others had went and circled him, Irene making it looking like she was winking before they had went and taken the picture, “Thank you, Mr. Spider–Man.” she had said to him as the eye flew back into her head and they went and flew away, making Peter Parker even more confused as they had headed away.

Irene had texted her parents, letting them know about the change of scenery as they had went and sat on the couch, “I love that we had this.” Irene had said towards them as she had went and poured her energy drink, the others all enjoying it as they had each had their own meal or snack as the day had started to turn into night, as it did, Linea had spoken up.
“So, you’re living here now?” they had asked, Ove looking towards Nomi who was trying to stay cool, “Sometimes, maybe I’ll be here, maybe I’ll be in the barracks, maybe I’ll catch Ove and Linea making out again.” she had said, surprising Nomi at that as they had went and blushed, or at least looked annoyed at that, “It was… an experiment.” Linea said to them.
“I was bored, Linea wanted to get kiss, that happened.” he had said and hearing that, the two of them looked as Irene spoke, “I’ll send you the security footage.” she said, surprising both at that as Irene had went and curled up besides Nomi, “Our turn?” She asked Nomi, surprising them all at that statement, “What?” Ove asked, “You two kissed each other, my turn with Nomi.” she told them.
That had made the pair glare and at that, Irene had grinned before she had went and looked towards Nomi, “You want to?” she had asked with a smile, making Nomi start to blush, “S– Sure.” she had said, going and giving a kiss as deep as possible for someone that was there age, earning a squeak from The Magnetokinetic who had looked at her with surprise and a smile.
Irene had pulled back, “Great!” she said as the two of them gave a look, envy, sadness, “Okay, heads, Linea, tails, Ove.” she said, confusing the pair of them, “Other one kisses Nomi.” she had told them all, making the three that were there unsure what Irene was planning as the girl had went and flipped the coin in the air to see what willl happen next in this situation.
______________________________________________________________________
“That was warm, and soft, and hot, and nice.” she had said, making the trio look towards the girl, “Why?” Ove had asked her, “Why’d you kiss us all?” he had said with the other two nodding at that, “Because I like all of you.” Irene had said to them, pulling out a trio of portraits from her Sinister Space, Nomi was a warrior in blue metal with knives in her hair, bullets orbiting around her as she ready to fight for what she loved.
Ove was wearing a crown of horn, his trident on his lap as he sat in a throne underwater, a smile on his face but his eyes as dangerous as a shark but there was a kindness, while Linea was flying, a star behind them as a array of phantom limbs and faces moved, terrifying and beautiful, “This is how I see the three of you.” she had said, making the trio amazed at the sight.
They had looked at each other after hearing that, “So… you want to date… all of us?” Linea asked, still unsure about the phrasing, “Exactly!” she had said with a smile, making the trio all look to each other, a little unsure as they had went and looked at each other, which made Irene lose her smile, “You need to think about it.” she said, “Yes we–” “I understand.” she said, blushing now instead.
“I can send you guys–!” “We– We’ll walk.” Nomi had said, Ove heading to the Balcony window while Linea brought out Linea of The Thousand Steps, all of them leaving and as she saw them leave, the Mutant had went and curled up in her parents couch, she had hoped that nothing was ruined, but hey, at least she had a place to hide if things went wrong.
