A special report breaks in on almost all channels....


"We're here live on Ellis Island as apparently a group of mutant terrorists, known as the Mutant Liberation Front, have kidnapped a number of senators' children and grandchildren and have brought them to Liberty Island. The terrorists are holding the children in the torch of the Statue of Liberty. They have threatened to kill the children unless their demands are met. Sources have it that those demands are the immediate halt to the registration bill that is currently in Congress.

The children were abducted from their beds in the middle of the night by the terrorists and a note was left in their place. It is unclear at this time whether or not the registration bill will be killed. Congress is in session now debating the issue.

The question on everyone's mind is what is being done to save these kids? Where are the so called superheroes? Where are the Avengers? Where are the so called benevolent X-Men who want harmony between mutants and humans and fight for that?"

Kal and the others had spent quite a long time explaining to Mentor and the other Titanian Eternals what had happened in Olympia. Unfortunately they had arrived after the Uni-Mind had been disassembled and didn't know what had really happened. The comatose Eternals had been moved to the medical facilities. Kal hoped that something could be done for them. She wanted her mother back.

Titan was beautiful as always. The place was designed for meditation and the pursuit of knowledge. Given differnent circumstances, Kal would have loved to spend a few centuries here and learn more about her father's people and the universe. It was not to be. Her stay here would be brief and she would return to Earth soon and the war with the Deviants would intensify.

For now she would enjoy the peace and serenity Titan had to offer. It also gave her a chance to get to know Eli and Dae, who was apparently her brother. With this in mind she went looking for him.

It was a bitter day for Dorthy, just plain bitter. When she was little, her father would always come home from work with two dozen roses. Red for her mother, and pink for her. But now she was alone at Xavier's, on a day when everybody had somebody, and she had nobody. So instead of going downstairs and dealing with all the lovey dovey stuff, Dorthy grabbed her old copy of Pride and Prejudiceand began to read.
