"You left Kodiak in the void dimension that you teleport through?" I asked Nightcrawler.

He looked rather sheepish. With his eyes cast down, he answered, "I am very zorry, Profezzor. I tried to bring him back vith me, but I could not."

"We are going to have to rescue him," Iceman answered.

Cyclops held up a hand. "He's pretty mad. I think we ought to let him cool off for a while."

"I'm not quite sure how we are going to get into the void and then how we can bring him back. I want Beast and Forge to get to work on this problem. In the mean time, I have some important business to attend to. Iceman, you worked in that accounting office. I want you to draw up an assessment of the repair bills for the damage done by the Destroyer and have that served on Henchman."

Once the team had dispersed, I went to my rooms and changed for Spider-Man and Fade's party. When I was ready, Cyclops drove me to the gathering.

Entering the ballroom he had rented, I was rather surpised to see the odd collection of super heroes and villains assembled. I knew the fete was suppose to celebrate the end of the Civil War, but I hadn't expected them to take the idea of reconciliation so seriously. The biggest surprise was to see Henchman and Maggie there.

I quickly checked my psyche to see if there was any sign of a re-emergence of Onslaught. I could detect nothing. Perhaps I really am finally free of that beast.

I glanced over at Henchman and saw that he was staring at me. This was going to be the perfect opportunity to give him a piece of my mind. And perhaps take a piece of his. Heh heh.
