Ghostsabre was about to respond to X-23 when the Talus on Blink's arm began to glow. The energy rippled throughout her, and stuck Sabretooth, X-23, Aura, Gambit, Henry Pym and Mimic, causing them to vanish in a blaze of pink light.
The heroes find themselve stirring on the cold floor of the Exiles HQ, the Crystal Palace*.
At a nearby console, you see a tall black woman in a white uniform doing her best to fan out the fire on a crystal control panel with a blue, pruple and white towel.
"Dammit dammit dammit dammit." She cries out.
The towel grows a mouth and speaks with a lightly humorous tone. "You know, I told you this was going to happen. It's what you get for when your multidimensional HQ runs on Windows 98."
"Not now, Morph." The woman responds.

Aura takes a moment and scans where she is. "Ok!! What just happened there? And where are we if no one minds me asking?" She glances at everyone there but not knowing anyone other then X-23, she stares and remains confused. "And now mind you that things have calmed down if no one minds the question. Who the heck are all of you?"

Sabertooth growled and stretched, then smirked," You get used to it, kiddo. Aww Heather, did you break your toys again? Oh yeah, we brought fresh meat for the grinder."

"This your new base...The Crystal Palace. That's Heather Our Tech specialist..and the 'Towel' is Morph,Expert on all matter of modern trivial knowledge." she adds with a smirk.
"How long before you can get it running?" Blink queried Heather politely. she looked at morph and grinned, "Unless you recently received any other degree's we missed."

Heather sighs as she lets go of the towel, which shifts into the form of a bald man a blue costume with a purple cape with skin the color of alabaster, no nose or ears and whide white eyes. "I'll explain as soon as -" Morph cuts in. "Exposition time! My turn! My turns!" Morph approaches the others, he shape shifts yet again. While his skin is still as white as a sheet, his form is that of a rotund fellow with long black muttonchops in a purple vest, white shirt tie and black dress slacks.* (* see here - marvel.com/universe/Image:Timebroker_%28Exiles%29_Head.jpg) The Transformed Morph speaks in a booming baritone with a slight hint of a formal Brittish accent. "You have become unstuck in time - detached from the wheels of your destiny as your timeline has been damaged. You are now Exiles - you shall travel from timeline to timeline, righting what once went wrong in order to put those timelines back on course, and then, eventually, you can return to your own corrected timeline." Morph then changes to a bespectacled version of himself in a high-end Armani suit. "Offer not valid in Kansas, Gotham, any universe beginning with the letter "Y". Side-effects of Exiles may include but are not limited to Horrific death, getting trapped in crystal, never having a social life again, and seeing more naked Wolverine than anyone has should have to." Heather clears her throat and rolls her eyes. "Sorry. He's right, but in an obnoxious way. The short version is that something incredibly bad just happened to your timeline, and it set off an emergency recall on all the systems here, so it dragged back those people closest to the Talus. I'm still getting a handle on what is going on, just give me a moment." |

Gambit absently thumbs cards in his hand, looking around. At Morph's behaviour, he smirks. "You sound like Deadpool." He says, with a smirk. "But, I have a question. What does it take to repair timelines, hey?"

" Someone forgot to take his medication this morning." Sabertooth sputtered as he passed Morph to see what Heather was up to. " Tabitha stayed behind with that reality's Captain America. She wanted to track down Hawkeye. She thought he escaped the carrier blast."

"Cool, that seems to give me a couple of answers, about the where type deal. But still wondering. No offense, but, who the heck are you all." She turns to X-23 hoping for some form of indication from her before turning back.
"Like yes I get you are the Exiles as I do listen, but, that does not really still tell me anything about the individuals. Or, are you all that trusting?"
By this point Tally is very confused and although no mater how much she just wants to leave realizes that she is a big girl and her parents, both of them would probably not appreciate anything less then adult actions. She hopes that either x-23 or someone will explain.

"The exiles are a team of individuals of various time-lines and realities that correct the damages before the time line collapses and takes down the rest of the time streams. Our 'mandate' is to repair time lines and do what takes to keep the universe on its axis." Blink stated.
"Mend and defend as Morph called it once..." she shrugged, "Sabertooth and I from the world a tyrant named Apocalypse destroyed most of humanity and nearly conquered the world...Were part of that worlds 'X-men.' That is until humanity reclaims it.." she answered.
"And if we didn't trust you you'd be dead right about now or you'd not be here. Trust me things clear up as we go. I'm Blink, or if you prefer Clarissa. But for now I need to lose the winter wear. I'll be back once I've changed. And morph good to see you again..." she added for no particular reason.

Morph continues. "You've already met team co-captains Blink and Sabretooth, plus the young albeit grumpy Ms. Ghostsabre back there. This is Heather Hudson, our resident technical genius." Morph changes shape so now he has the form of a red headed woman with thick glasses wearing flannel and blue jeans. "Real difference, isn't? Alternate history is fun. I, of course, am Morph, wisest of sages." He reverts to his normal form and takes a bow. "and I was also a member of the X-Men on my world." His costume changes into one covered in X's. "so together, we go to different realities, fix timelines." His form swells up to superhuman size with insanely large and well defined muscles. "usually by beating the stuffing out of someone." He changes back to his standard uniform. "and thus save the day. Any other questions?"

"Actually you know, No I really have not. Other then X-eee here and Clarissa who seemed to walk off before I could shake her hand and introduce myself. Not one of you know me. I am not even sure one of you knows my name at all. No offense. At least now I have a name for all of you, or at least I think what to call you."
Tally is still unsure of herself as X-23 has not said much, and she is not sure what to make of the rest of them. Some seem large and scary, other look more around her age and seem nice. Until she knows for certain she will continue being on her guard.

Gambit looks around. "So, what you're sayin' is that you built this grand high..." He looks around at the pink everything. "Ladies bathroom, just as a stagin' point?" Part of him was impressed. His guild's safe houses just didn't cut it. He turned back to Morph. "Is there a mens room here or is it all pink?"

"From what Morph told me in my first walk through," Cal says finally speaking up. "Is they just sorta hopped in here and were displaced like us."
She scratches her head. "Or... something along those lines, I didn't catch everything Morph said, most of it was over my head... like way over my head," she says in a slightly injured tone of voice.
"Um... I'm Calandra Rankin. Cal for short, and I mimic your power," she says looking at the new comers. "That's it, I got no other talents just mimic your power an hope for the best."

Morph raises an extended eyebrow at Gambit. "We didn't build it, we just live here because it's rent free. And yeah, it's this all this colour."
Heather looks over the consoles. "OK. I think I've got a lock on what's causing the problem in 616. Morph, you better get our latest guest up here for this one."
Morph's usually cheery expression goes sour. "Gee. Thanks Heather." As he slumps off.

"Thank-you Calandra. And if Cal is what you prefer, Cal is what I will use. Me, my name is Tally Amaquelin. I can fly and copy the energies of whatever I touch. Or touches me for that matteer." Tally then walks over near Cal and stands by her side. With X-23 being silent she is happy someone has finally spoken to her.
