As Ether materialized and offered forth his credits, the alien's eyes lit up and he grinned even wider, procuring two "tickets" that were actually small metal cards that projected small holographic images of the pirate Nebula's face on the top corner of each card.  Printed on them in Galactic common was the information for each seat.  Front row, just like he promised.  He laughed heartily and motioned to the dome.<br/><br/><strong>"You certainly won't regret it.  I guarantee you won't find better deals anywhere on tonight's event!"</strong><br/><br/>Then reality seemed to distort for a brief moment... and standing behind the man was three new individuals... a young woman, still in her teens, but beautiful by Terran standards with long blonde hair... a tall, stoic dark skinned Terran woman, also quite beautiful... and then there was the garishly costumed humanoid with the smiley face.  Ether could not detect any substantial amount of radiation coming from any of them, though Alexander's helmet once more clicked into place as his computer spoke to him in his ear, assessing the beautiful blonde, the lovely African woman and the mildly disturbing yellow and blue hero, in that order.<br/><br/><strong><em>"Threat assessments:  One female Omega Class Mutant... visual ID 87% match to Emma Frost, aka the White Queen... threat level 98%.  One female Omega Class Mutant... visual ID 100% match to the X-Man Storm... threat level 98%.  One unknown superhuman, presumably male... threat level fluctuating... 5%... 98%... 42%... 99%... 74%... correlating... error.  More data needed for proper assessment".</em></strong><br/><br/>The four armed alien ticket scalper did not seem to notice the appearance of the three newcomers as of yet.  From the newcomers' perspective, it was a bit jarring.  One moment they were in the Watcher's home and the next they found themselves on a very dry alien world in the middle of a sprawling city full of various alien life forms.  A four armed alien stood between them and two others... a humanoid with dark skin and platinum hair and eyes stood alongside a man in a high tech looking suit of power armor similar to the Iron Man design in that it was very compact and not very bulky at all.
