Less than twenty-four hours had passed since Rachel had been abducted by Lady Mastermind of the Hellfire Club (as opposed to Lady Mastermind of the X-Tremists or any of the other dozen or so Lady Masterminds out there. Wyngarde had a lot of kids). The illusion currently running in her mind was deep-set and powerful, though not as powerful as the Phoenix shard she still carried within her. Given enough time, it would probably shatter.

But in the end, it didn't much matter. An omega-level telepath and telekinetic backed by a cosmic force could do fantastic damage in a short amount of time. Even if she broke free eventually, a lot of damage would likely be done by the time she snapped out of it.

Cloaked in cosmic flame, the body of Rachel Summers landed on the lawn of the X-Mansion. To her mind, she was landing in front of one of Sinister's bases, ready to face the legion of Marauders or Nasty Boys that dwellt within, before she ended his miserable life.

She brought up a hand, utterly dismantling the foyer with a single gesture. "Come on then!" she shouted. "See how you like fighting someone who fights back!"

Gabriel is almost always found inside when it's severely cold outside.  Today was one of those days where he could not be bothered to venture out into the cold, even to stretch his wings.  It's not that it really bothered him all that much.  The real reason was that Gabriel liked to use the cold weather as an excuse to be lazy.  Because you know what?  It really was the perfect excuse to stay inside and be lazy.

He could be found watching television in the common room on the first floor.  He owned every season of the Game of Thrones, and was continuing his marathon of it.  Right now he was watching Ned Stark getting beheaded.  Poor little Arya.

Lyta and Gabriel were in the city visiting their parents for the weekend. They'd celebrated the Fourth of July at Xavier's with their friends, and then headed straight to the city the next day. Lyta had gone straight to bed, as she was going to a meeting in the morning, but Gabe had gone out the night before. And when Lyta came back from her meeting that afternoon, her brother was still asleep.

Well, that just couldn't do. Lyta knocked on his bedroom door.

"Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty," Lyta said, smirking.

Once the Champions returned to their headquarters and destroyed the Quantum Mirror returning all the heroes to normal. Once that was done they called a meeting of the superhero teams. Irina transported the Champions to the Avengers Mansion and volunteered to provide transportation for the other teams.

So, Anya talked him into hosting this year... so Avengers Mansion is all set up for a proper party in the main lounge. Extra couches set around the giant screen, plenty of food - ranging from the chips and soda to the pretzels and beer.

The front doors are left watched, but open, and invitations have been sent out to the guys on all the teams the Avengers are in contact with... so... potentially a lot of people.

Charles Xavier, head of the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning and mentor of the X-Men, had been busy in the recent days. Together with an old friend, Erik Lehnsherr, the two of them pushed the anti-human groups into action. Attacks on humans started happening all around New York City.

In Times Square the MLF appeared and started attacking the sea of people in the "Crossroads of the World". They also targeted the nearby Police and fire stations to hinder efforts to control the chaos they were creating.

Down on Wall Street the Brotherhood started attacking the bankers and investment brokers.

Leading the attacks on humans were Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

Mutants attacking humans prompted responses from anti-mutant groups such as the Friends of Humanity, the Church of Purity and other pro-human groups.

The streets of New York quickly became a battleground between humans and mutants.
