"Hey Thunder and Wonder! (Does that make me 'Sunder?') I got some churros for everyone. What are we doing today?"
"Hey Thunder and Wonder! (Does that make me 'Sunder?') I got some churros for everyone. What are we doing today?"
Now I want to order churros ...
You arrive at the island nation of Krakoa via one of the flower portals that was available close to where you lived. A small group of about 15 other mutants of all ages, sizes, and appearances arrives at the same time that you do.
You are welcomed by a 5 ft 9 man who speaks in a German accent. He wears red and black clothing. He has furry blue skin and yellow eyes. Velcum mein freunds to the island Nation of Krakoa. Mine name is Nightcrawler, a member of the Quiet Council. I am here to velcum you on their behalf. There are 3 things to remember about your new home:
1) Make more mutants;
2) Murder no man;
3) Respect the sacred land of Krakoa.
We are here to be supports to each other and for all of mutant kind.
Do you have any questions?
"Hola Nightcrawler. I go by Bantha. Thanks for the big welcome. Is there somewhere we should check in or look for a place to crash?"
Ban looks around for hot, but not on fire, females, because he's a teenage boy.
Val looks around, uncertainty written all over his face. "I think I get the second and third rules. But, ah, number one? Do you mean we make mutants the, ah, traditional way? 'Cause that seems like, well, a lot of pressure." His cheeks color.
"Pardon me, Nightcrawler. I heard a rumor the island we're walking on is sentient? Is that true?" The tall brown-haired teen asked.
Val looks around, uncertainty written all over his face. "I think I get the second and third rules. But, ah, number one? Do you mean we make mutants the, ah, traditional way? 'Cause that seems like, well, a lot of pressure." His cheeks color.
"I think maybe he means magic; I'm a mutant, and I was made the other day! Is that traditional? Because I do not know magic myself so I think it might be hard for me to make another mutant, although when I meet the Lost Son of Asgard maybe I can help him make a mutant ...
Nightcrawler smiles, If you ask around for Stacy- X and her domicile I think she can help with the awkwardness, if such a thing is necessary
He turns to Thunderer, Why yes, Krakoa is a living and breathing island. It is a home for all mutants.
"Pardon me, Nightcrawler. I heard a rumor the island we're walking on is sentient? Is that true?" The tall brown-haired teen asked.
The tall brown-haired teen smiled to himself.
Of course, I knew the answer. I just wanted to help ask a question some of the newcomer might not know.

The tall, brown-haired teenager head turned when the newcomer mentioned The Son of Asgard. "Hey. I'm Josef Aganarsson. But around here, they call me Thunderer. We should talk after this."
"Uh, maybe later? I don't know who that is." He looks around, clearly out of his depth. "Is there someplace here that's, ah, normal? Just to get settled."
"Normal? More human, I take it?" Thunderer asks. "Well, what would a beautiful island like Krakoa be without a tiki bar? Mr. Dukes runs it. It's awesome! I'll show you."
"More human." Are we not allowed to be both? Val sighs and follows the big Norse fellow. "All right. Tiki bar sounds good. The drinking age isn't 21 here, is it?"
"More human." Are we not allowed to be both? Val sighs and follows the big Norse fellow. "All right. Tiki bar sounds good. The drinking age isn't 21 here, is it?"
"Thunderer! Wow, that is cool! I sort of have a grandmother, and she had a funny smile when she first called me Wonder Boy. I'm not totally sure what a Tiki is, but I am certainly thirsty enough to drink many things."
"Thunderer! Wow, that is cool! I sort of have a grandmother, and she had a funny smile when she first called me Wonder Boy. I'm not totally sure what a Tiki is, but I am certainly thirsty enough to drink many things."
Josef stops for a moment. "Wait! You're calling yourself 'Wonder Boy'? After Wonder Man? Simon Williams? The movie star?!"
"Well I didn't do it myself, but yes. He is one of my fathers! My grandmother said that is one of the reasons I am handsome. Almost everything I know, she taught me, and the hero name and costume came from her as well."
The young man blushes
"I wasn't sure that she thought so or was helping me understand, or maybe both."
"So, you're not a mutant then?" The young man with the glowing eyes shakes his head, looking even more confused.
"So, you're not a mutant then?" The young man with the glowing eyes shakes his head, looking even more confused.
Simon frowns at this, looking a little sad
"I am very very much a mutant, and I do understand, somewhat what it means. I really do have two fathers, and so my last name is "Omega". It seems there was a very powerful mutant who was NOT a hero, and he is my 2nd father. It is a little confusing for me, my grandmother placed many many memories in me. I think his name was like, Quentin Omega. Something like that. I do not think he was crazy, but I do think he made many bad choices."
Thunderer crossed his arms, looking slightly pissed.
"Quentin Quire. Kid Omega. Enormous pain in my a$$."
"Who is your grandmother, Wonder Boy? So far these seems hard to believe. And yes I realize we are having this conversation on a sentient piece of land."
"jajajajajaja, omg, that was a joke! That was awesome! That is so cool, I want to do that too!
Simon looks thoughtful for a moment, opens his mouth to speak, but pauses ...
"all of this is still confusing, and there is a great deal that I am still assimilating, but there are things I do understand, they're just different than for regular people. I do understand, there are not a lot of people with 2 fathers. I do understand that when regular people say 'grandmother' they mean the maternal parent of one of their own parents (he takes a breath) yeah, that is not me."
"I do not know the Williams(es?) and I do not know the Quireses; I do not even know if any of those individuals are alive, let alone how to pronounce the names. Maybe Omega being my last name is another joke? Do Asgard people make jokes also?"
"I think maybe grandmother was meant for me as a lesson, a lesson about how to show affection maybe? The Lady Karnilla is perhaps the greatest Mage in all of Asgard's history ... her greatest apprentice, Amora, is my creator. My creation, however, appears to have been unintentional, and so Karnilla intercepted me as I was let loose into the world; she helped me. She used her powers to implant some knowledge of the world in me, trained me somewhat in a timeless space where I could break things but not myself, and created an identity for me so that I could go to Los Angeles and try to be ... Simon Omega"
"It was when I asked her name that she said, "well my boy, I have several, but perhaps 'grandmother' is best for you. She smiled and told me that in all of Asgard, and Nornheim, and Midgard, there had never been a mutant created by magic and enhanced by science, and that although I could not fight my destiny of meeting Thor's decendant, after that, I would always find welcome in Nornheim."
"How are mutants created withOUT magic? Are we supposed to know? It seemed like the dark gentleman who smelled a lot like magic was telling us to go create more ... I am not sure I can create things."
"I can read though! Are there books about it!?!?"
"How are mutants created withOUT magic? Are we supposed to know? It seemed like the dark gentleman who smelled a lot like magic was telling us to go create more ... I am not sure I can create things."
"I can read though! Are there books about it!?!?"
Thunderer blinks, comprehending what was once just explained.
Turning to the glowing-eyed newcomer, Josef says. "Sorry about this, but we might have to make a detour." Turning back to Wonder Boy, Thunderer stopped him. "One moment please? And apologies to the psychically-sensitive among us."Aganarsson steps back from the others, closes his mind and concentrates. Thunderer focuses his mind, just we he took Mental Communication 101 back at Xavier's Academy, and reaches out to the nearby Astral Realm.
Sorry to interrupt the local thought network, but can any telepath within the sound of my thoughts because bring either Professor X, Emma Frost, or Jean Grey to the Welcoming Area. We have a possible security breach in a person calling himself Wonder Boy. Kid Omega. If you can hear me, you will likely be needed as well.
"I'm a little different, but I'm not sure I'm a breach ... "
Wonder Boy gets a little bug-eyed
"Wait ... is my secondary genetic contributor here!?!?!? I was told he was not alive on Earth anymore!
Val keeps backing away, shaking his head. "Tiki bar. Tiki bar."
"Maybe I should go ... I am excited that I fulfilled my destiny though! It happened much faster than I thought it would. I did not even know this island-being was here."
"But I can certainly leave if that's better. Los Angeles is the only other thing I feel compelled to do or see, as a courtesy to my grandmother before I return to Nornheim. I was excited to be "normal" and know what Tiki's are, and drink, but I will just fly east. Los Angeles is east ...
A soft glow forms all around Wonder Boy as he prepares to take off
"It was really nice to meet some of you. It's so good that this place is here for people, other people I mean. Real mutants I mean. It seems it is very difficult to be different in this world."
Ban watches the back-and-forth discussion of the two powerhouses. He was TOUGH in his part of the Pacific, but this was NEXT LEVEL TOUGH.
"Should we not get a room or something for our stuff... or something before we get tikis?"
He's not really happy with his own words or the lack of direction here. He was always told what to do and where to be. Taking a big breath, he decides to stand tall and do what Thunderer does.
Wonder Boy takes off, mostly upward ...
(and while he seemed very sure that Los Angeles was to the east, none of the assembled think he probably has any sense of how to head in that direction)
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I guess I am going to Los Angeles to be a model because that's what my non-grandmother told me to do in the first place."
Simon smiles a very very warm & beautiful smile
"Take care and stay safe, you all really are lucky"

"I don't think that's right. You're a mutant. You're supposed to be here. At least try it out for a few days."

Thunderer can hear the others talking, and reopens his eyes to see Wonder Boy fly away.
Josef uses his Sound Control to project his voice far and loud.
"Please come back. I'm sorry, Wonder Boy. You just hit me with 'everything-at-once'."

A little blue spec seems to appear, very high in the sky, but it gets larger rapidly ... Wonder Boy seems to have a slight smile on his face.
"Everything at once" is certainly a promotion from "security breach," it's also a good description of how I woke up the other day"he looks a little serious for a moment " ... and I really did try, but I am not sure where 'east' is, so the best I could do was 'up' - this island is really really in the middle of a VERY big ocean."
"Could we go to see the beverage Tiki's AND also speak to one of the telepathic leaders? and could the telepathic leader NOT be my mutant genetic contributor, or the lady who I understand to be a lot like my non-Mother? I would appreciate that."
"I don't think that's right. You're a mutant. You're supposed to be here. At least try it out for a few days."
"Thank you; I am not sure if that is totally true, but I do think I am here now, and I appreciate it. I am still concerned that I do not have what it takes to make additional mutants ..."
"Sure, man." Thunderer motioned Wonder Boy back down to Krakoa.
Aw man. Why do I get the feeling I just inherited another little brother. Thunder thinks to himself.
"Okay. Sorry everyone again." Josef does his best to recover. "Blob's Tiki Lounge. This way."
Thunder leads the small group of new mutants a down a path toward the establishment.
Ban looks for the prettiest girl (over 16) in the new group and invites her to join them for tikis.
If that fails, as is likely, he asks the second prettiest...
He takes a deep breath ... you can tell Simon is about to ask one of his questions as he turns to Bantha
"Hi again, I'm Simon :) I had a question. I think I may have been created to be slightly older than you, but I'm not sure. You seem to extensively examine the younger female mutants; no one told me to do that, but am I supposed to? I really don't want to do anything wrong or seem lazy ...
"Sure, man." Thunderer motioned Wonder Boy back down to Krakoa.
Aw man. Why do I get the feeling I just inherited another little brother. Thunder thinks to himself.
"Okay. Sorry everyone again." Josef does his best to recover. "Blob's Tiki Lounge. This way."
Thunder leads the small group of new mutants a down a path toward the establishment.
"I am excited about the Tikis, but Josef, maybe you could tell us: is there one of those large rooms of books here? Karnilla had one, and there was a set of books in the order of the alphabet; it is called an encyclopedia. I want to stay there forever until I know things like all of you."

"Maybe." Thunderer offered. "Krakoa is a large island. Another questrion for Professor X when he arrives."
"Wait ... the rich telepathic bald Professor? The one who created the school in New York that my 2GC tried to destroy? You were there were you not? That's amazing! Do you know him, the Professor?"
Simon is clearly incredulous; none of this had ANYTHING to do with Asgard or Magic. This was mutant life. It was SO real ...
"Yeah. I was a student at Xavier's School back in Upper New York state." Thunder mentions. "I hear nature has retake it somewhat."
Blob's tikki lounge is very busy with all sorts of mutants.
Alison Blair is singing 80s pop hits, complete with light show to thunderous applause.
A beautiful blonde woman dressed all in white, some of it very revealing, enters into the tikki lounge. She approaches the group, a regal haughty hair about her
Hello boys, I hope you are finding your stay welcome.
Bantha blushes a little, but tries to recover. Replying to WB, he says,
"I am just trying to make friends, you know, get to know people."
Wonder Boy looks sad and a little scared ...
"Why did only the evil telepath show up? Thundererer, could you please use your special powers and call the telepathic leader people again? I do not really want to talk to the scary lady who exposes herself dressing like Amora. Maybe even my 2ndary genetic contributor would be better ..."
