Ancient Story
N/A: Something that pops in my mind.
Scott Summers is the first to say that good allies are hard to find, and without falter, the X-men need any allies they can get, but, is this the correct mindset, hence, the dilemma the leader of the X-men is facing at moment. Not even Storm or Beast managed to give a solid answer, and, in times of need is important to make sacrifices.
Clearing his throat. Two times now. Scott speaks with all the bravado one can. "Kitty, what do you think?" his tone is cautious as the others look at Kitty pretending, the best of their abilities allows, not being frightened of her answer.
Kitty´s right fist is holding her face for a moment as she´s pondering the situation (or not, no one can understand what she´s thinking and Psylocke is not dumb enough to try) and smiles in her mysterious way(is she mocking them? is she amused?)
"I see. Is not every day that an intergalactic race makes contact with you, Scott Summers" Kitty states amused too amused as she now gives that cat-like a smile, but, she´s not over. "And I can see the plight you´re now, Scott, the Shiar people are a group of formidable warriors, but, the Deltars are even fiercer than them and they don´t take kindly any rejection"Kitty concludes in a serene tone.
The others side-eyed each other for a moment, Ororo nods to Scott as he´s silent asking permission or reassurance to do his next bold move. And, once Storm gave a confidence vote, Scott Summers continues. "So, you think we should accept their offer?"
Kitty scratches her chin now. "Well, I can say the only good thing they´re good fighters, but, only that...the Deltars aren´t provide of common sense...in fact, sit...I want to tell a story"
And no one dares to oppose to that, after all, whatever Kitty is, no one can deny one thing. She has stories to tell.
___________________________________________________________________________-
The planet of Daltars have a name, of course, but, once pledge their loyalty to Chaos itself the name lost all meaning, however, one thing that still makes Daltars a name to be spoken to everyone, even among the Shiars, is the fierce strength they demonstrate in any fight.
That and their devotion to Chaos, in fact, their devotion is completely blind that no mask of Chaos would ever be questioned. After all, why bother? Chaos is versatile.
Tonight, the temple of Doom, horned for IT´s presence has the light and full of followers as for the first time. "Chaos is here. Chaos is here!" as the leader of the group guides them to the entrance to admire the chaos itself.
A beautiful woman who resembles humanoid enough, but, her uncanny eyes and her dark ebony skin, her unmoving lips, her bikini and the open skirt does give away what the woman truly is.
"...Here?" the deity respond mentally with a soft chuckle that rings in everyone present. "How can you say I´m really here?"
The deity can´t speak as her mouth seems sewed. Delicately tailored to remain a perfect line in her uncanny and beautiful face. However, the followers are overjoyed and frighten to see their God.
Days passed down as tension is higher as the deity is walking among the city making questions about...itself with its dogs. Someone, in a hushed tone, asked if the deity shouldn´t be around cats, which is answered quickly by saying that the cats are under disguise.
The leader of the group summons the courage to ask a question to Chaos itself. "Chaos, we´re wondering if you could lend us more power to face the war?"
The deity blinks and pets her dogs. "Still on the chaos thing, huh? Sure, but in order to get more power you must all do something for me" and the man clearly agrees. "I want you to save all the victims of the said war, take them to a safer place and take care of them, if I like the work I may lend more power" and the deity is now playing ball with the dogs.
The shiars are confused as to why the Daltars are helping victims of a previous war that they caused. Their only reply? Chaos orders us.
A few time later, someone approaches the deity who is a garden (a new thing the deity crafted for herself) and asked an audience with Chaos itself. "Oh boy, this will be good," the deity said as she let her right fist support her face.
The someone reveals to be a woman and she´s on a tangent as to how she had visions about this moment(the deity is not really paying attention, but, let the woman continues to speak) and after some much-elaborated thoughts the woman said "I´m ready to sire you a son"
"...Pass?" the deity said as the woman grovel on the floor, but, she thinks again and speaks, again, mentally. "It seems you know what a lot about my tales, why you don't share with me, all I did in the past...amuses me and I may amuse you"
And the woman left the temple with the satisfaction of soon enough she´ll carry the Chaos´ son.
And finally, a group asked for knowledge of the universe and if is possible to be a god. "You guys? Nope. Besides, how can you want to be a lesser god if you can´t even answer a simple question? Are you real?"
Finally, the deity leaves the Deltars and the dogs follow suit, however, the cats return and aren´t happy about the situation that only they have the mind to notice.

"So...they never noticed they were worshipping the wrong God?" Scott asked dubiously at this information/story. Kitty is smiling cheerily. "You...were that God?"
"Oh Scott, I have to give a big clue like that to you to notice?" Kitty shakes her head. "Let me tell you something, the Deltars won´t have a long lifetime, so, if you accept their deal...rest assured they won´t be here for long" and she leaves as Wanda arrives with shopping and a grumpy Pietro (who has a new haircut)
Scott does the only sensible thing here. "All favours to say no to this deal?" everyone agrees and the X-men know they have an ally in Kitty, a really scary one that they don´t need to make too many questions.
