A very nice police officer ushered Mr. Dragotti and Mrs. Brown to an area behind a barricade so they would not be in the middle of the battle raging outside the Hellfire Mansion. Mrs. Brown looked up to see a dragon on the roof of the mansion. She turned to Mr. Dragotti and then looked back at the dragon. "Did we wander into some fairy tale, Mr. Dragotti? A dragon? In Manhattan? I just hope it goes away very soon. Master Jack rode on one once a long time ago, but that one up there looks mean!"
Mrs. Brown stepped back as the dragon sent a plume of fire and smoke into the night sky. "I do not want to end up as barbecue!"

Mr. Dragotti looked up and gasped when he noticed a dragon on the roof. Why was there a dragon on the roof? Did he wish to know the answer to that question? One of his eyebrows was raised in curiosity as soon as the dragon began to breathe fire. ''That creature isn't the only one with fire abilities!'' Craig muttered. He was hesitant to use his pyrokinesis in case he harmed Mrs. Brown or gave the cops something to arrest him for besides his past as a mob boss.

"Oh, I know that, Mr. Dragotti, and I was not trying to imply anything less," Mrs. Brown replied as she looked at the creature staring down at everyone. "I am just not certain what one does when faced with a dragon. Run and hide seems to be the best defense to me, but then again, I am not a heroic soul. I can shoo faeries away with a pan, but saving lives in a situation like this is beyond me."
Then Mrs. Brown looked down the horizon a bit and saw a SHIELD Hellicarrier in the distance. "I am not a great lover of these paramilitary forces and such, but if they can lead that dragon out of Manhattan, we shall all be the better for it! Once Master Jack makes it outside, I think we should head back home. This is too much excitement for one night!"

''If fairies and pixies can exist in the real world, so can a dragon.'' Mr. Dragotti's first instinct had been to protect Mrs. Brown. He bit his lower lip since he was currently uncertain about defeating the dragon. He saw a SHIELD helicopter and sighed from relief. ''Good idea, Mrs. Brown. We can relax by a fireplace or something.''

Mrs. Brown nodded to Mr. Dragotti as he mentioned sitting by the fireplace and decompressing from all this drama. "I just wish Master Jack would join us. This is all...too..."
As her words trailed off, Mrs. Brown started to point as another dragon seemed to enter the fray. This one seemed to be an ice breathing dragon, and it was soon joined by two more dragons. This trio went after the first dragon with great gusto.
"Oh! I am so forgetful!" Mrs. Brown added as she looked up at the dragons doing battle. "Master Jack said that the X-Men have called on dragons in the past."
Mrs. Brown looked around and saw an entrance to a building and motioned for Mr. Dragotti to follow her. "Being in this doorway is preferable to being out in the open," she added as a shower of ice fell over the street. "You do not need to get wet, sir, and staying out of the way until Master Jack arrives would be best."

Mr. Dragotti gasped as soon as another dragon appeared. He stepped back when it breathed ice. He would be too weak to protect Mrs. Brown if the ice from the dragon contacted him. ''The dragons appearing are courtesy of the X-Men?'' Mr. Dragotti was quick to follow Mrs. Brown. His jaw dropped when he saw a shower of ice.

"Finally, Malachi! Took your sweet time!" Alastair shouted up to the X-Men's dragons as they passed overhead, and he then dashed over to the doorway where Mrs. Brown and Mr. Dragotti were standing. "Are you two OK? Are you injured?"
As he continued to stand there, Alastair got showered with some of the icy spray from the dragon up above. "And you two were very smart to duck in here. I forgot how c...c...cold dragon ice plumes are! I take it Jack is still inside?"

Mr. Dragotti's eyes were wide after Alastair shouted and ran to him. He certainly never expected him to appear so suddenly. ''To answer your first question, I'm OK. As for your second question, Mrs. Brown and I are not injured.'' Mr. Dragotti shuddered after Alastair was showered with icy spray. ''Consider yourself fortunate that you are not a pyrokinetic, Alastair.''
Mr. Dragotti shrugged after Alastair's question about Jack. ''I assume Jack is still inside. I never viewed him getting out of the building. Hopefully he will get out alive.'' Mr. Dragotti's eyes were suddenly filled with worry. ''Reunite with us soon, Jack,'' he muttered. |

"Jack is being Jack, eh?" Alastair replied to Craig as he shook off the last of the ice that had fallen on him from the dragon attack. "Be happy it isn't the one who spits clods of dirt. Now, what was that one called?"
Alastair looked back up to see that the icy Galindor and been joined by three other dragons. One was a fire breather. "Ah, Aztorath the great red dragon. That one is a pyrokinetic like you, Craig. The little green one is new to me. I think someone said Merlin had been caring for him back on Avalon. And Zanarine! That is the terraform dragon. He's the one that spits dirt."
Alastair was pleased when Craig said that neither he nor Mrs. Brown had been injured. "I think most of these beasties are either being cooked or are running off. That is good news indeed. Do you want me to go find Jack, Craig, or do you think he'll be fine to make it out here on his own?"

One of Mr. Dragotti's eyebrows raised in curiosity. ''A dirt spitting dragon?'' he muttered. He looked up and smiled at the fire breathing dragon. ''I would like to be near the pyrokinetic dragon. I'm not sure about being with the dirt spitting creature!'' Craig turned to Alastair. That was when he faced Mrs. Brown.
''What are your thoughts, Mrs. Brown? Are we going to wait for Jack to arrive?'' Craig inquired. Since Mrs. Brown had been with Jack longer, he figured he would hear her two cents. |

"Mrs. Brown, you do know Jack better than either of us," Alastair said as he turned to Jack's housekeeper, only to see her pointing toward the dragons up above. "What is it?" he asked as he turned to see what was happening overhead. "Oh! A SHIELD Hellicarrier! Peachy! Now what is that doing here?"
Blackwell put his sword through his belt and fiddled around in his pocket for his cellphone. "Time to see if the home office knows what is going on here," he said with a smile to Mr. Dragotti and Mrs. Brown as he opened the screen to see a bulletin from the Mystic Council. "Yes, we do use these things. It's not all fire notes and bird messengers. Oh. They are here to haul off...no. Get out. Morgan Le Fay is in there! Seriously. Morgan 'I am too good for all of you--eat dirt' Le Fay." Blackwell actually seemed giddy about who SHIELD was here to arrest.

"I do not like those SHIELD folks so much, Mr. Dragotti. Always poking their noses into things they have no business in," Mrs. Brown said as she looked up at the flying fortress overhead. "I just want Master Jack to get out here safely so we can all go home. I don't want to go without him. I'd make a rut in the floor pacing until he got back if we went home."
Mrs. Brown looked at Mr. Dragotti and then looked at the building and then back to Mr. Dragotti. "We can wait a few more minutes, and then maybe Mr. Blackwell could get us back home? I don't want you hurt, Mr. Dragotti. Does that sound like a good idea?"

Mr. Dragotti looked up before he noticed a SHIELD Hellicarrier. He shrugged. ''Who cares? Maybe it will get us out of here.'' Craig wasn't too shocked about the phone. He saw such phones all the time. Craig faced Mrs. Brown.
''SHIELD folks are probably too nosy!'' Mr. Dragotti said. He continued to face Mrs. Brown. ''Would Jack know where to find the rut if we went home?'' Craig nodded at her. ''Sounds good to me.'' He still hoped for Jack getting out in a single piece. |

"I'll make sure Jack can find you two. I promise," Blackwell said to Craig and Mrs. Brown as he kept looking up at the SHIELD Hellicarrier. "I want you two safe in case..."
Blackwell then stopped talking as he saw what looked like swarms of insects flying in toward the Hellfire Mansion, but he knew they were not insects at all. They were bits and pieces of mystic energy flying all willy-nilly around Manhattan that were now being snapped up and redirected to this spot. "Oh crackers! Someone inside the place just went nuclear. Now the Council will want me to fix this! Lovely!"
Blackwell paced a bit while he kept waiting for a message on his phone. "Do you two want to go before the whole block goes poof? It might be a very good idea," he said as he opened a portal for Dragotti and Brown. "If you two got hurt, Jack would kill me."

''Thanks,'' Mr. Dragotti said to Blackwell after the latter vowed to make sure of Jack's ability to find him. He grinned a bit. His eyes widened when he viewed swarms approaching the Hellfire Mansion. At least they looked like insects. ''It might be a good idea for us to depart.'' Mr. Dragotti glanced at Mrs. Brown. ''Whatever you would like to do, Mrs. Brown.''

OOC: I'll get Mrs. Brown out tomorrow
IC:
There was a BAMF, and suddenly Kurt appeared outside with Sasha and Alison. "I will go back inside to get any injured people out, but first I want to make sure you are both OK," Kurt said as he saw others were gathering in the same area. "If you need a medic, I can get one here to you."
"I'm fine," Ali replied as she wiped some goo off her shoes. "Demon muck, I guess. But other than wrecking my shoes, I'm fine."

Craig's eyes widened as he gasped after Nightcrawler appeared. It wasn't Nightcrawler's appearance that bothered him. It was the latter's sudden arrival. Craig stepped back. Something or someone else bothered him. He began to squint as he glowered at Sasha.

Sasha appeared with Alison and Kurt. ''Thanks for helping us, Kurt,'' he said as he glanced at Alison. He shook his head. ''I don't have to be with a medic,'' Sasha said to Kurt. He turned and gasped after he noticed Mr. Dragotti. ''OH! Uhhh, this is awkward!'' he muttered.

"Oh my," Mrs. Brown gasped as Nightcrawler just popped in. "Oh, that's that Mr. Wagner fellow Master Jack mentioned to me one night when he was trying to describe the X-Men. I think that should be our cue to leave, Mr. Blackwell. Master Jack will wonder why we didn't get home by now if we don't leave."
Mrs. Brown watched as Mr. Blackwell opened a portal. "Mr. Dragotti, before we get someone from that TV show with the dragons and the nasty man who poured gold over his brother-in-law's head, I think we had best depart. I, for one, enjoyed the party much more before that army of demons crashed it!"

"Thanks, Kurt. I think we can manage," Alison said as she saw Sasha and his former employer eying each other. "Sasha, let's go wait over here," she said as she guided her friend to a small stone ledge they could sit on for a bit. "Let Mr. Dragotti head out with his friend there, and we can wait for the group so we can head back home. I like my fantasy stuff in movies or books or on TV. I do not want to live out ye olde days of jousting and eating big roasted turkey legs every day, and certainly not with the added extra of a demon army!"
"Excuse me. Alastair Blackwell. Mystic Council police. Later I might want to chat with you two about the mess inside," Blackwell said to Sasha and Alison as he stood with his portal ready to get Mr. Dragotti and Mrs. Brown back home. 'Is it really Morgan Le Fay inside?"
"Sorry, but you sound like some groupie," Ali said to Blackwell as she looked back toward Sasha. "And we don't need any groupies! We just want to go home!"

There was pity in Sasha's eyes after he noticed Mrs. Brown. *I pity that woman near Mr. Dragotti. He is probably always nasty to her* he thought. Sasha turned to Alison before he followed her. He did not wish to find out if Mr. Dragotti was going to shove fire down his throat. Sasha was quick to notice Blackwell. ''I would like to return home ASAP!''

Craig continued to glower at Sasha. He was tempted to shove fire down the latter's throat. He observed Blackwell opening a portal. ''Perhaps I will confront you later, Sasha,'' Mr. Dragotti said. He concentrated on his palm until a burst of fire formed. The fire disappeared in a mere instant. Craig walked to the portal at a fast pace. |

"Mr. Blackwell, thank you," Mrs. Brown said as she followed Mr. Dragotti into the portal. "Please make sure Master Jack knows we went home."
Mrs. Brown smiled at Mr. Dragotti and then looked behind her. "You know, in all that ruckus, we lost sight of Tia Dalma. Just between us, sir, but she scares me no end!"

Mr. Dragotti almost stepped into the portal. He faced Mrs. Brown. He tried his best to ignore Sasha. His eyes widened after Tia Dalma was mentioned. ''I actually forgot about Tia Dalma! Hopefully Jack can find his way home.'' Mr. Dragotti went through the portal.

Sasha gasped until he turned to Alison. ''Did you see what Mr. Dragotti just did, Alison? He threatened me!'' he exclaimed with wide eyes. At least Mr. Dragotti was gone for now.
