Irina opened a portal inside the Champions' Headquarters and she and the Salem's Seven went through it.

Etoile woke up curled next to Lyta. They both spent the night doing girly talking and watching crazy movies until the wee hours of the morning. She moves out of the bed as quietly as she could, stretching for a bit and moves to the window. To her amazement, the entire school grounds were covered in snow!

"Holy crap, Lyta....Lyta!" Etoile calls out to her, she suddenly felt the urge to go outside and play in the snow.

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.

It was late and Champions headquarters was quiet. Irina was downstairs in the common area making friends with a bottle of vodka in the dark. It had been a long day and she just needed some time to wind down and relax.

Irina looked at Lyta. "I'm so sorry," she said. She really was sorry. She had borrowed a pair of Lyta's shoes and well...they were dead. The heel had broken off of one and the other one, well the leather was torn up. "I'll replace them of course."

Vincent's thoughts wandered as he went over some of the paperwork for one of his college courses. Valeria and Bentley may have gotten there ahead of him, but he was confident he'd have his first doctorate in a perfectly respectable amount of time as well. Still, he'd been thinking of the holiday party, and Lyta Worthington. She'd played hard to get. Not something he was accustomed to encountering in his lifetime, and he was intrigued. His paper didn't make much more headway before he put it aside to put his mind to work on contacting her. As soon as he has it, and has his thoughts collected, he calls her cell.

Lyta was Going Out tonight. And when one was going out, you needed shoes to go with the outfit. Luckily, Lyta knew just were to find the perfect pair. They just weren't in her closet. They were in one of her "back-up closets." And Lyta knew which one.

She made her way down the hallway to Joe's room and knocked on the door. "Joe? You in there? I need a pair of my shoes."

They'd done their scouting. They've put up all the defenses they could, and put themselves in a position to attack. Buck has reviewed what they have on hand, and the situations exploding around them.

"Alright, folks, thank you for your patience. I know its been a tense situation waiting and doing patrol work... but I think we've identified some key points in the enemy strategy. We're still going to have to be careful. We're dealing with major influences here, but...

Alpha Flight... and their current guests, should be obvious. There's every sign that more of the Great Beasts will be awoken... that's a top priority situation.

X-Men... and the Genoshans - in following up the uprisings earlier, we've identified a 'Cult of Apocalypse', who took the whole massive fight before as a sign its time for En Sabbah Nur's awakening. We've located some of their likely strike points, your leadership has marked maps.


Champions and Thunderbolts, we've located a massive danger in the Red Lord. Its been determined that it will likely take both teams to deal with it.

Nightstalkers and Big Hero 6, we have a second target of the same type, Sakhmet. You two are on that.

SHIELD will be picking up on all of the general monitoring, crowd safety and control, and other work we've been doing in the lead up to this.

Finally, Avengers, Defenders and FF - you're with me. We're targeting the masterminds behind this.

Any questions?"

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.

The annual Maria Stark Winter Charity Ball was coming up and Anya didn't have a thing to wear. Sure she had a closet full of evening gowns, but she couldn't wear one of those. She had to have a new one, not to mention her sister needed a dress. That only meant one thing. A shopping trip. Not just any shopping trip, but a worldwide one.

She sent out invites to Vernique, Toni and Lyta. It would be a shopping trip like the ones they used to have before their lives got busy.

She had the Stark plane readied and had Sunny make the hotel reservations. London, Paris and Milan were on the agenda for this trip. Sunny of course could come if he wanted to. Anya found that she couldn't live without the man.

When it was time she headed for JFK and the waiting jet.

Traditions were important.

For a lot of people the day after Thanksgiving meant hitting the stores and getting great deals on items that would most likely be Christmas presents. For the female Avengers and others the day after Thanksgiving meant a different tradition. They would gather and rate the hunkiness of the male members of the various teams.

Anya had been up at the crack of dawn and readied the Thunderbolts' headquarters. Normally this would take place in the Avengers Mansion, but the boys would be holding Rate the Babe there and the girls needed their own space. She made travel arrangements for everyone invited. Avengers, X-Men, SHIELD, Future Foundation, Alpha Flight, Champions, and the Defenders.

Anya had the event catered by a local restaurant, not wanting to make the Thunderbolts chef have to feed so many people. She had even made sure that all of the Kelly's guns were unloaded.

Everything was ready for their guests.

"Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart." - Seneca

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.

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.

A couple of days after she'd hung out with Rachel, Lyta packed her car, and drove back up to the Xavier Institute. She'd left the city early in the morning, so she'd arrived at a decent, but still early enough hour to where she could unpack everything and put it in her old bedroom without much interruption. She put away most of her things...though she still had quite a bit of clothes and shoes to unpack.

So, Lyta decided to take a break from unpacking. She made her way down from her bedroom, and went into the kitchen. She started opening cabinets in the pantry and began to get out the fixings so she could make herself a sandwich.
