In my timeline a person from the future time-shifted into the body of her younger self to warn the X-Men of dire consequences and a bleak future if the Brotherhood were to succeed, giving the X-Men time to travel here to Washington and stop them.   Apparently in this reality they didn’t get that warning, so we’re the ones who have to stop the evil mutants.”      “When and where?” Cassie asks.    Clarise says, “From the look of it, right here and right now.   We’re in the nation’s capitol building, we just need to find the Senate hearing chambers.”    They travel out into the hallway and a short distance around until they reach a door to the upper balcony of the hearing room, where the session is already in progress.   Clarise points out who Kelley as well as Xavier and McTaggert as they get up to testify.   Mojo says, “Why are they afraid of that guy?  He’s in a wheelchair.”  Clarise says, “Yes, but he’s also a powerful telepath.”The side wall of the main floor then busts in, marble pieces falling down in front of a large hole in the wall, and five costumed individuals stand there.    As the red-haired blue-skinned woman in a white sleeveless dress begins speaking Clarise tells her companions “That’s Mystique.  She’s the Brotherhood’s leader and a shape shifter.”  “Who’s Tubby?” Narg asks, gesturing to the obese man in the black shorts and tank top.  Clarise says, “He’s called The Blob, the only founding member of this team.  He can’t be moved.”  “Doesn’t look like it,” states Mojo.    Narg tells Cassie “Maybe you can use your Belt of Shape Change to turn into a chocolate cake to distract him.” “And the others?” Alton asks.  She says, “The guy in red and orange is Pyro, he shoots flames.   Next to him is Avalanche, he’s the one who collapsed the wall.   The woman in the gold mask is Destiny, she helps predict the future, but I’m guesses she didn’t anticipate our arrival.”    The villains have thus far fended off some minor attacks from a few policemen who Avalanche then sends flying back with some uprooted flooring.    The flying potion is still in Narg and Mojo’s systems so they dive off the balcony.    Mojo throws his hammer at Avalanche, knocking him backwards onto the ground.    Narg flies high up towards the ceiling and then uses his Wand of Exchange to swap places with Blob, who suddenly appears forty-feet in the air, falling with a resounding crash. Clarise teleports Alton, Cassie and Timothy down to the main floor behind the Brotherhood.    Alton and Cassie both turn invisible before they are seen.  Mystique slips away from the battle and transforms into a policeman.  Cassie decides to follow her.  Alton tosses Plant Growth and Entangle spells onto the plants outside where the wall is collapses, sending the vines and branches in to grab Destiny.   Timothy begins a Prayer spell.   Narg charges his nearest opponent, Avalanche, and swings his Sword of Sharpness for a severing blow which cuts off the Evil Mutant’s left leg.   Pyro turns to attack Narg.  The man collapses to the floor and howls out in pain.    The Blob begins to move until Mojo flies that way and throws a full-force hammer throw into him.  Clarise then creates a teleportation hole, sending Blob outside to a spot 100 feet about the reflecting pool which he crashes down into. The disguised Mystique approaches Xavier and McTaggert and offers to take them to safety.   Cassie thinks to herself “Not so fast,” as they then casts a Web spell, which covers and traps Mystique beneath.   She tells Xavier and McTaggert, “That’s Mystique.  Get out of here.”   Clarise appears behind them and teleports them back to Xavier’s home in Westchester, New York. Narg takes flight again and flies directly at Pyro who sends up a sheet of flame.   One of the powers of his Nargblade however is fire resistance so he takes minimal damage and continues him slight up to the foe, knocking him back.   Mojo’s hammer then strikes Pyro’s chest, knocking him down.   Clarise reappears and says, “He can’t create the flames, only manipulate them.”   “Ah,” Narg states as he uses his sword to cut the tubes between Pyro’s backpack and wrist jets, ending the flames. More police arrive including the Washington D.C. SWAT team.    Clarise again states “Mission accomplished”.   The six vanish once more.</blockquote>
