"It must have been rather lonely here. Alone by yourself.... But what you're doing is cruel. By making this decision for them, you've already taken away their freedom... Please, let us help you. I'm sure we can find a way to get you out of the mirrors so you don't have to be alone.

He laughed, "That just shows how much you know. I'm not in the mirrors, I-we are in an alternate dimension of sorts. We're vibrating at a slightly different frequency and it just so happens that mirrored objects grant the ability to see into this realm. Your friend with the red glasses thought the same, and that was his downfall. For the longest time he thought he was safe from me in that house, but it was only because I couldn't open the door that he was safe."

Scott had been nabbed then. "Well then we can find a way to get you to our dimension then. But please, don't do this. Please." She took hold of his hand, and held onto it tightly.

"NO!" He yanked away from her, "We're all safer here!" he persisted, "I'm not letting any of you go back. You go back and you're all dead. DEAD, you hear me?! You're staying in this dimension and that's that. I won't hear any more on the issue" he stated firmly and turned to march out of there.

"Everyone has to die sometime..." She turned Todd and Lance, "Are you two alright?" She asked.

They were brushing themselves off. Suddenly Toad launched at Ciara and glomped her to the floor, "WE MIIISSSEEEDD YOOOOOOOUUUUUU" he cried

Lance sighed, "I'm sorry we couldn't warn you in time..."

She smiled, "I missed you all too... I already knew Lance. I found Scott's journal about it. I wouldn't have escaped the city even if I had tried... Who else is here?"

Lance frowned but nodded. Toad grabbed Ciara's hand, "Everybody" the boy replied, urging her outside to see. The streets were full of people, pretty much the whole city, making the most of their situation and trying to have a good time. It had been weeks after all. When the pale kid walked by however, they all immediately moved out of his way with a momentary hush as he stalked off.

"There has to be some way to convince him to let us all go...Oh my." She was rather surprised at the number of people there. "So many of us..."

"We've tried everything" Lance stated, "he won't listen to any of us. Not to mention that anyone who may have had the power to make him do it, doesn't have their power anymore. He's got total control in this dimension."

"and we can't touch anything, so anytime people come to Genosha, they've got no idea what they're walking into" Toad added, "we can't build anything to send a message. We can't even get our tinfoil hats to keep him out of our heads!"

Ciara frowned," Have you tried beating him up? There must be some way... I take it King Namour and his men are here somewhere as well."

Lance frowned again and nodded, "Magneto and Namour are among those he deemed... err, too rowdy for the general population. They're locked in Magneto's tower."

"Take me to them."

"alright, but good luck getting in" Lance sighed and lead the way to the tower. They ended up just outside Ciara's room of all places, where the door was closed.

"Ello? Can you guys hear me?" She called.

"Ciara?" Eric called back almost immediately. There was the sound of several people coming over to the door.

"Ciara! Are you alright?" Scott called out.

"What are you doing here?" Rogue questioned.

"Yeah, I'm alright." She replied before answering Rogue, "Why this is my home Rogue, why wouldn't I come home... Besides I was worried, His Highness left and we had heard no news since then... HOw are earth did he get you all in there?"

"... He threw us down a hole in the roof" Scott answered after a moment of silence, "we can't get back up."

She sighed, "Great... Well, I'll try to think of something to get us all out of here..."

"Point of interest" Kitty piped up, "Human pyramids don't work."

"And Scott is way heavier than he looks" Storm added.

Ciara couldn't help but chuckle at the idea. "Well of course. He's all muscle. Who else is in there?" She asked curiously.

"Namor, a few of his guards" Scott replied, "Charles, Wanda, Hank, Phil..."

"So pretty much the whole gang then... Well, it's good to know his highness made it here alright. His people are getting rather worried... I guess it was a good thing you made my room so big Papa."

Eric sighed, "And after this I think I will make it larger. With divided sections, and a secret passage way out"

"If you think you're sick of us, I guarantee that we're more sick of you" Rogue spat at him, to be replied to by the familiar growl of Sabertooth.

"That passageway would only work if it was open anyways, Papa. Seems like the tension is getting to you guys. Don't worry, I'll think of something... Does anyone know if we can touch water, or do we just stand on it in this dimension?" She asked, an idea beginning to form in her head.
