Maddie and the Madman
Mojo had to admit, when he had sent Magog to track down Spiral regarding her delay, he hadn't expected such a find. Iniatially he believed she was Jean Grey back from the dead. Instead it was someone he found infinitely more interesting, Madelynne Pryor. The woman had taken many roles: wife, mother, clone, mistress, sorceress, villainess, an infinitely adabtable woman. Pity she couldn't be made into a performer, but Mojo was not stupid despite what people thought. He knew what had happened to Sinister when he had tried to manipulate this powerful woman and he didn't desire the same thing to happen to him. Still, it didn't mean she couldn't be useful to him. He would just have to be careful. As such, Mojo was not in the room where Madelynne had been resting, well awre if she woke up to his unappreciatively handsome visage, she may react badly. As such, he made sure her environs were comfortable.

He glanced at her readings, she would soon wake up. Mojo pressed a button for the intercom in her room.

"Good morning, Ms Pryor. How are you feeling?"

	"Nnnnnn." Madelyne pushes herself up inside the room, bringing a hand up to her head, trying to swallow. Her mouth feels like it is full of cotton and she's having a hard time focusing. "I've been better." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It's then that Major Domo comes into the room, a tray of expensive Earth food in his hands. "The master requested that you be fed. Though he did not order me to say so I would distinctly appreciate you not flaying my brain." All this was said in a distinct monotone voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-04 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"Damn it, Domo! Just give her the food and get up here!" Mojo yelled somewhere between angry and annoyed. He had no idea what state Pryor's powers were in and he didn't need Domo giving her ideas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-04 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Flay your..." Madelyne narrows her eyes at him for a moment, as if perhaps, she might be trying to do just that. Instead, though, she says, "I don't flay minds on an empty stomach." Mojo's outburst causes her to look toward the where his voice is coming from, the speaker or view screen, for the first time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ml_mojoverse 2011-05-04 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Major Domo lays the tray on a nearby table. "Enjoy, Ms. Pryor." He says giving a slight bow before turning to the speaker. "Coming your bulbousness." Domo then excited the room, the door shutting behind him of its own accord. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Geez. Guy's duller than most rocks, but he does his job well. For the most part anyway." Mojo mutters. "Anyway, forgive me for beiung a poor host, but I'm aware most humans can't appreciate the grandeur that is Mojo. So for the sake of your sensibilities I'm communication through this com. What's the last thing you remember, Ms. Pryor?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-04 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"That's something of a blur to me right now. I know I died." She thinks she's died at least twice, actually, but that seems sort of insane and entirely unfair, all things considered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, indeed you did, on more than one occasion in fact." As Mojo speaks a display screen lowers into the room. It activates, showing Maddie's early life with the X-Men. The images were a recreation of how the X-Men had battled the Adversary. "This was the scene of your first demise. You and the X-Men sacrificed your lives in order to keep the entitiy, the Adversary locked away. Of course this was during a happier time before the X-Men turned on you."

	"That almost doesn't count as a death. I mean, it was magic... something or other." Madelyne reaches for the glass on the tray, needing to get this feeling out of her mouth. Her eyes look toward the screen and then back toward the tray that has been provided. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"True, I know a little something about magic so I can validate it's role in your ressurection." The screen changes scenes, this time it showed a series of events. The return of Jean Grey, Cyclops' abadonment of Maddie and their son, the events that led her to become the Goblyn Queen, and the revelation she was a clone of the woman she hated most. "After your husband's classless actions, the manipulation of the demon, N'Astirh, and Sinister's revelation of your origin, it was no wonder the events that transpired. However depite your attempts to take a more-than-just vengeance, you died once more during the 'Inferno' crisis."

	Madelyne glances to the screen and then looks away again. Her eyes are narrowed and there is a stiffness to her movements. This hurts. It hurt to remember, it is painful to see now. It makes her angry. If not for the feelings of anger and abandonment, she'd not feel much at all right now. "I killed myself. Mostly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-04 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Mojo put in an effort to sound sympathetic. "Sorry, Ms. Pryor. However this must be done if you are to recover fully. If you're allowed to continue in this state of confusion, well...things can get royally screwed up, real fast. Do you want to take five? Or should we continue?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-05 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, please, go on." Madelyne's tone is dry and sounds like she may not believe him at all. She's going to continue to eat grapes and be bitter about all of this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well if you insist." The images shifted again, this time it showed her alongside a young man with a glowing eye. "I'm not sure how, but after years you became a pure psionic being bound to the dimensionall-displaced mutant, Nate Grey. After awhile you parted company with Grey and became a member of the Hellfire Club in order to once again take vengeance upon those who wronged you so."

	"It was a little more complicated than that, but sure. We can round it out to that." Madelyne reaches out, tentatively, with her mind. She wants to see what she can find without pushing on any barriers too much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mojo feels a tingle in his skull. 'She's trying to read my mind.' Mojo relaized with a smirk. Mojo's wirings weren't just for show. A few of them actually served to protect his mind from mental intrusion. 'Well clearly she has some of her powers back. Perhaps it's time to make a personal appearance.'

"If you want to know more, Ms. Pryor, all you had to do was ask. Reading my mind isn't particularily healthy for the sane. Besides, what I have to tell you next..I should be there in person."

Mojo knew he was taking a risk, but the dramatist in him couldn't resist staying in the shadows anymore. He crawls to Maddie's room and opens the door.

	genequeen 2011-05-07 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Not trying to read your mind at all." She wouldn't want to do that. She's more just trying to see where she is and what might be out there. She hasn't done much stretching of those muscles yet - if ever, really. The demons don't count, the manifestation created by and with Nate Grey doesn't really count. "In person?" Oh, that can't be good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-07 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	Mojo entered the room shortly after Maddie spoke. "Pleasure to speak to in person, Ms. Pryor. I apologize for if my appearance inspires you to vomit, projectile or otherwise. However, the news I have is important. It concerns your son." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-07 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	His appeareance is wretched but she's seen demons at least as bad. Or so her memory tells her. Truth is, there is only one thing her focus is on and it isn't Mojo's appearance. "My son." The words are cold and hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-07 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	"There's no easy way to say this, so I'll get right to it." Mojo manages to convey an image of sympathy. Perhaps he should consider acting himself. "He's dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mojo almost grinned, almost. This one he didn't even have to recreate. He literally had images of it recorded. Mojo says nothing, but presses a button on his remote which changes the scenery on the screen. The quality is rougher, less staged, giving it away as reality. It showed Bastion's attack on Utopia, Cable's efforts in protecting a young girl, and his final stand as Bastion cuts him down.

"He died believing that child was some kind of mutant savior. He died getting sucked into your husband's deluded crusade. He died because they're not willing to do what it takes to restore their people!"

Mojo was visibly upset. He did not like the current status of the X-Men, not one bit. This was one direction his show should not have underwent.

Madeyne stands to look more closely at the screen. Her eyes narrow. Mojo's words are heard but they are nothing compared to the images on the screen. As she reaches out to put her hand on the screen, there is a change in the air around her. It feels as if something /flexes/ around her, a faint flickering aura becoming visible.

This room may not hold her for long if she continues to scale up in power.

	As much Mojo would love to see Maddie cut loose, and really he did, he didn't want her to do so in a closed-in area. Especially with all his breakable stuff inside. "Ms. Pryor, believe when I say I understand how thoroughly pissed you must be, but if you'd hold on for a moment, I believe we can help each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-08 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Mojo is lucky. There isn't much that reaches through the anger when it has come on so suddenly. "Explain. Quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-08 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	If Mojo was intimidated by the threat, he didn't show it. "The X-Men and I have quite a past as well. Their current direction, the one that got your son killed, pisses me off greatly. I want to return things to relative normalcy. I want you to help me. In return..I rule an enitre world of advanced technology, magic, and armies. You can name your price." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	genequeen 2011-05-09 12:09 am UTC (link)
	"My price?" Madelyne, now hovering an inch or so off the floor, closes with Mojo. Her eyes narrow. "You don't understand me if you think there is anything material I desire." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-09 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"I.." Mojo literally found himself backing up a bit. The ratings for this week had been somewhat mediocre, he was nowhere near his maximum power. This could be bad if not handled right. Still, he sent an electronic signal, his forces would be there shortly if need be. "What DO you want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-09 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"I want my life back." The power fills her eyes as she hovers in front of the creature in front of her. "I want my husband and son back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-09 01:44 am UTC (link)
	"Well..that is a pretty tall order." Mojo said scratching his head, part thinking and part nervousness. "Still..as I said, I have a great deal available to me. It may not be impossible. Yes," The more Mojo thought, the more he liked it. It would fix both their problems. "How much do you know about alternate realities?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-09 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Madelyne's eyes narrow. It isn't an entirely displeasing proposal but at the same time it isn't exactly what she wants, either. "What do you wish of me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I want you to help me put things back the way they should be." Mojo shouts into his comm. "Domo, switch the feed to the AE research!"

The scenes of the past are switched to what looks like a galaxy map. Instead however, the "worlds" are all packed as Earth, but each with a different number. Mojo points at one titled "616".

"This one is our reality. In truth, there is no such thing as time travel, at least not in any conventional sense. Rather, it hops you from one reality to another. Say you wanted to go see dinosaurs, instead of being sent to that time period, you'd be sent to a reality in which dinosaurs exist. What we have to do is find a reality close enough to our ideal. Though the process can be like feeding a needle in an infinite haystack. We find it, and merge it with this one, and mold into something palatable to us both."

	"What do you want to change?" Madelyne's attention goes back to screen, trying to process what is being presented to her. The anger is still there but she's holding it back so she can think. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I want things returned to normal before the damn decimation. I want the old drama back! This..this..travesty going on now..is garbage!" Mojo turned back to Maddie. "The Decimation is what forced your son to sacrifice his life to save the mutant 'messiah'. If we can change things so that it never happened..he'll live. In fact, we can find a reality in which you were a mother and a wife and give you the life you deserve. No Apocalypse taking your son's childhood. In fact, we can find a reality in which Jean Grey..never..came..back." The three words come between pauses for dramatic effect. Mojo's still a showman afterall.

	That may or may not be something Madelyne is interested in but he at least has her attention. "And how are you going to go about that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mojo is a little surprised by the lack of reaction. His info on Madelyne's desires apparently was out of date. Mojo made a mental note to have everyone in research killed. Mojo mentally shrugs and switches the screen again. Now there was a schematic for a piece of machinery.

"I won't bore you with technical mumbo jumbo but this bad boy, when completed, will seek out the reality closest to the desires of the programmer. When found, the process of binding the two realities in favor of the new will begin. The problem however..is finding something with enough juice to power the thing."

	genequeen 2011-05-10 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"And your solution?" Right now, Madelyne is having a hard time holding onto rational thought. It shows in the tone in her voice, or at least she thinks it does. Really, she'd prefer to pull this building a part while screaming but listening to him slowly spool out it plan seems to be the only option. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	media_tyrant 2011-05-10 08:44 am UTC (link)
	"Oh I have something in mind." Mojo assures. He notes Madelyne's agitated state. "You know, I have places you can go if you want to vent your frustrations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-11 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Something in mind?" Madelyne shakes her head, "No. I ... need a focus." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Then I will give you one. Walk with me, talk with me." Mojo leads the way to his research center. "The energy itself must be derived from the 'home reality', ours in a nut shell. I don't have the equipment or people to bring enough here. Hell, I could have people bring me a nuke and it wouldn't be enough. Instead, I'll make the sources come to us." A hovering screen follows them showcasing various individuals affialated with the Avengers or the X-Men.

"Red Hulk, Thor, Emma Frost, Magneto, powerful individuals whose energy would go a long way to getting the device charged up. I will the bulk of those details, but if you wish, I would appreciate if you brought some incentives for the X-people to join us. Your resemblance to Grey would certainly aid in that endeavor. Spiral is supposed to be bringing people close to the Avengers here, but probably saw something shiny and is taking her sweet time."

The reached the room, which had multiple workers building two different machines. Mojo points first to one shaped similar to a stargate. "The machine must be on Earth 616 once charged in order to begin the merging process. However it is difficult to create a portal big enough, thus another reason we need power." He then points to another machine, smaller with a helmet attachment similar to Cerebro. "This where your effort will be most crucial Ms. Pryor. With your vast psionic powers, you can enforce your ideal world onto the computer's search process. This will speed the process up significantly. Though considering the number of alternate universe out there..well let's say it'll still take a long damn time."

Mojo walk to the chair and picks up the helmet. "The visual effect is finished if you'd care to look. Just put it on and think of the kind of things you'd want to see, and it'll bring up a reality close to your desire."

	"You wish me to bring you X-men?" Madelyne thinks about that, looking thoughtful. It could be that she might have a way to bring that about - even without just grabbing them and dragging them here. As she thinks, she reaches out to touch the helmet, though she doesn't put it on just yet. "And you have a plan for them? Do you wish any specific ones?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's right and I do I'm at my heart a showman and I do so love a show. I will pit the Avengers against the X-Men in a series of contests. All the while I will have energy given off during the battles leeched away to power my equipment. They will believe that this is simply a ratings scheme. I will admit the ratings will be glorious, but I digress."

Mojo hands Madelyne a datapad. "This is a list of recommended targets. The team has changed since you've been gone. I wouldn't begrude you wanting to see for yourself. Some of them are..hard to believe."

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-13 12:25 am UTC (link)
	The datapad is accepted and she looks at the list of names. A brow arches at some of the names there. Some are strange and some are just unexpected. Certainly, something will have to be done about Emma. "How many?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Three, maybe four, I'll leave it up to you who you take. I simply ask for caution, I do not want them to know my involvement..yet. I am afraid I must get back to work, running the network is a fulltime job. If you need anything, summon Domo, he'll see to your wishes." Mojo passes by the helmet as he departs. He gives a departing smirk as he leaves, as if saying: 'You know you want to.'

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	genequeen 2011-05-13 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Madelyne nods before looking at the helmet for a moment. She doesn't want to be the one to try it on first. It seems likely that someone already has but she isn't at all interested in being one more of Mojo's minions - even briefly. Now.... to make a list. (Reply to this)(Parent)
