Uh-oh.
The next day at the Institute was very nice. Gwenny talked at breakfast with Miss Laura Kinney, who'd brought them there and was warming up to the whole situation. Miss Kinney introduced Gwenny to her visiting brother, Mr. Logan. He seemed very nice. He lived most of the time in Tokyo, but he wasn't a fascist.
Miss Rogers was with the big blue fuzzy man, Dr. McCoy, translating the Tallus's poetry. They'd grabbeda bite and then gone to finish up with that.

And then Gwenny realized whom she hadn't seen all morning: Mr. Kev. He wasn't anywhere to be found. Apparently, this Mr. Ramsay -- Mrs. Ramsay was just the cutest doggie ever, even if it was so sad! -- was missing, too.

	Dorrek narrows his eyes at Kev's non-answer, trying to remember all the villains from the Avengers' files that the Tallus might be referring to as 'Caesar'. "You don't think it might be Kang the Conqueror, do you?" Ugh, Kang. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not happy, not at all. "Kev... what stuff? Doug is a computer genius, not a doctor. This could be important... this world is in danger. Deep, serious danger. It is still in danger, or we would not be here. What were you working on?" She glances at the others. "I would guess a time traveler or someone who has been around a long time, yeah..."

	"We reprogrammed some old machinery downstairs to fix her sealed RNA -- look, getting bogged down in the details is just going to get around to freak Rankin and Worthington and Bennet out, this has got to be completely unrelated to the job. We got lucky this time and Doug did something smart instead of something Crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This was giving Tasha a headache and no vodka to get rid of it. She downed the rest of her coffee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	None of those would have stood out, except for the change in tone. "Apocalypse?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then, and I say this with all respect due to them, they should not be listening," Dorrek replies, pushing himself away from the counter and beginning to pace to try to vent his frustration. "We are here to fix whatever has gone wrong with this reality so we can get back to our own. Not talking about a potential cause of the problem is not going to fix it."

	Sarah sighs. "That his best friend was desperate and his sister had an incurable condition. If Apocalypse is involved, we have a big problem on our hands. In my world, he runs a pretty literal evil empire. In Blink's, he took over about half the world. We need to find out his current status in this world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye," Kev mutters. "But Apocalypse hasn't been seen in years. He took a real beating when he did all that garbage to Rankin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who, or what, is this Apocalypse you speak of?" Dane asks, not recognizing the name. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Gwenny, too, looks puzzled.

But the answer will come, not from any of the Exiles, but from a voice just around the doorway.

"He's bad," little Rae Rankin says with annoyance. "Mr. Bennet calls him The False God, but my parents say he's just a bad mutant, and Mr. Bennet says things like that because he got sick in the head when Apocalypse hurt him. He hurt Uncle Warren and Dad, too. That's why they're different colors than they used to be."

"He calls himself En Sabbah Nur, and sometimes 'the First Mutant'. He's thousands of years old, and incredibly powerful. High technology, magical artifacts, complete control over his own molecular structure, and plans within plans. In my world, he turned some of the heroes and lesser villains into his 'Four Horsemen', and others into his soldiers, and took over Egypt and a lot of Africa. In Blink's world he controls most of America."

Yes, she can do the book report on a lot of villains, thank you. Miss Rogers has done her homework.

	Dane's eyes narrow as he hears En Sabah Nur's name. "I know /that/ name. He led the daemon's armies against our people. He battled my wife for thousands of years before I was born." Dane tells them. "Those who were captured by him never came back the same." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are just full of interesting information, Ms. Rankin," Dorrek says, inclining his head to the girl at the door. "Do you have anything else to add to what we have already established?" If she's going to be lurking and listening in, they might as well see if they can make some use of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She mostly said it. Nobody's heard anything about him since Dad got hurt a couple years ago. I don't know anything about demons; Mom says Mr. Bennet just says that stuff because he's not healthy. But maybe s'just se-man-tics. And plus, well... evvybody's wondering what's going on, but mostly they're just glad to have Mrs. Ramsay back to normal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are we /sure/ he is back to normal?" Natasha asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We're not sure of anything. Tasha, you're in charge of the girls, Dane, keep track of the boys. While we have some quiet, I want one person monitoring the local media at all times now til we figure out what's going on. Everyone who isn't that person is on enforced bedrest. We can't guarantee what we'll be up against or when the next time we'll have beds and hot food will be - I want everyone sleeping in shifts, eating decent meals and taking advantage. Group leaders, switch off and make sure everyone gets some enforced downtime. I'm going to go talk to the Summers again and review everything to do with En Sabbah Nur in their files in case the local one is different than ones we're familiar with."
