Chapter 49: Meeting Remus, Killing Romulus.

The meeting felt like it suddenly kicked into high gear. Everyone was present-- focused, determined to one cause joined by two problems. Bronte sat quietly, feeling the bone-claws vibrate alongside the metal bones in his forearms and wrist. At his back, his siblings watched and waited. Eyes on the woman that sat across from them. Not physically but brought in by a hologram. The glowing purple and blue illuminated fissures and mechanical blooms of electricity did nothing to hide her shocking visage.

Living on the run must've been hard for such an intense and dominantly marked face. But then again, Remus had to know a hard life like the back of her hand. She worked with the Wolverine. And it was for that reason, that she sat at the table. Despite the dismay of the Wakandan Elders that sat beside her with eyes like knives cutting deep.

Remus waved at Bronte, her claws painted a deep shade of purple that became more visible as the hologram centralized and focused it's way into something akin to real life.

"You don't have a secret child that we have to run down do you? Bronte was my last straw." Raze said as his neck extended and put his head side by side with Bronte.

Remus chuckled, "I come only as an assisting party to your affairs. We have a vested interest in the downfall of Romulus and his related business enterprises. And part of that means taking down Namor. Romulus knows where you are, and more than anything, he likes to lead a pack."

"So, you know of the plan discussed here then, Outsider?" The Border Tribe Elder asked.

Remus turned her head, casually aiming her amber eyes-- her multitude of world experiences, at the Elder. "My name is Remus. And no. I wasn't aware of your plan. Your Queen hasn't leaked any information of the sort. But I know Romulus, and so do they..." Remus pointed at Bronte and his siblings. "It is the logical outcome for a man with his hand in a dozen pots. Why not this one?"

Raze shivered, shifting between a hulking and emaciated blue skinned form in a blur before stabilizing, "Mmmmhm. She's a politician alright."

As usual, few people in the room knew how to engage Raze, so they didn't and continued onward.

"So, with our new addition of Remus on our side, she will be lending us her knowledge in how to defeat and undermine Romulus with a training curriculum and advanced knowledge base on his particular brand of Mutant. That all starts tomorrow." T'Challa explained, "And that is where you'll gain the finer details on where we aim to take this war."

The screen they all faced switched from a man to a geographical top shot of seemingly untouched forest landscape. It looked large even from the height of the image.

"The island emits an EMP pulse.... or the people of Talocan have enveloped it in a sort of anti-Wakanda shield. We still strive towards understanding more about this island, but if it is as viable as it seems, we can hash out what we must here, and lose nothing more of Wakanda."

"Where's that?" Bronte asked.

Ororo spoke, "A long time ago we called it Krakoa."
