Along with Magneto, several other interesting comrades arrived. Sabretooth, Mystic, Exodus, Destiny, Dreamer, and one mutant unknown to me. If with the first two everything is clear, the others deserve a separate consideration. 

Exodus, aka Bennet du Parry was a red-skinned man born back in 12th century France who later became a crusader. During a campaign, he met Apocalypse, who unlocked his mutant abilities. Further they had a conflict, as a result of which Exodus lost and stayed in a coma for nine hundred years. In modern times, he was found by Magneto and freed. The Frenchman saw in Lencher the new Messiah and began to believe in him. Exodus, by the way, has the ability to do that. More specifically, the mutant can absorb psi energy from various sources, but more often he simply feeds on his own emotions, amplifying himself many times over. He uses this energy for incredibly powerful telekinesis, telepathy roughly comparable to Professor X, and teleportation. Exodus can use all of these abilities simultaneously. Add to that regeneration, vitality, and the ability to live for hundreds of years without aging. All in all, the man was freakishly strong and if I remember correctly, omega-level.

Destiny or Irene Adler, a woman dressed in a blue dress with a golden solid mask, had only one ability, but she was more dangerous to me. She was a prophet. Her ability works like this: the closer to the present moment a vision is, the more correct it will be, and exactly the opposite if you try to see too far into the future. Except that in the comics, as always, there is a real confusion. In the line dedicated to Zlidnya she saw a thousand years ahead and planned everything so that the event she wanted to happen, although her abilities should not be so strong. In addition, she sees many lines of probability, some of which will be fulfilled with a greater chance, and others with a smaller one. And as the cherry on the cake, she and Mystique have been lovers for a bunch of years. I guess that detail of the biography hasn't changed. 

The funny thing about Alan Graham aka Fantasiser, though. He looked like a kid of about seventeen with short blonde hair and green eyes. His ability was to shape his thoughts, or simply make his fantasies come true. In general, Alan could not control his power, often creating something dangerous for himself. For example, after watching horror films, the guy could create some kind of YOOH, wanting to kill the creator. Fortunately for the young mutant, his abilities were very limited. He turned out more like overly elaborate illusions rather than real creatures. Even so, it was really messing with his life. One day we met, and I made Alan an offer that was impossible to refuse. As well as stabilising his abilities, I enhanced them considerably. They were no longer illusions, but real objects, albeit temporarily. It was possible to compare Gray to another bearer of the nickname "Dreamer", namely Grammy Tumo, who I was inspired by when I was working with the reinforcement of my contract man. As a result, their abilities became quite similar, except that the scales were quite different. At the same time, I made it so that the guy could create clones with the same abilities. However, they were limited in strength by the level of Alan himself, but even so it turned out to be quite cool. 

The last mutant dressed as a metalhead I didn't know, but it didn't feel strong. That said, Magneto herself looked pretty, pretty hot. I wouldn't give her more than 40 years. She'd been in a Kraut concentration camp. What kind of black magic?

All these thoughts did not take me more than a few seconds, during which we looked at each other. And now I had a question. Why did this group come here? I can think up answers for a long time, but I'd rather ask the visitors themselves.

Digression. 

- Wow, what a bunch of people. Oh, I was going to say mutants! I apologise! - Pluto said in a voice full of remorse. However, those present had a strong suspicion that it was a hidden mockery. - Allow me to introduce myself, honoured ladies and gentlemen! Pluto, Yesterday's Promise! It's a pleasure to meet such famous personalities as you!

Finishing, the man bowed aristocratically, eliciting an approving hum from Exodus. The other members of the Mutant Community were even somewhat confused by this. Only Magneto remained glum. The Morlocks watched with interest, as they don't often have such interesting events.

- Magneto, Exodus, Mystic, Destiny, Sabretooth, Dreamer, and Radar," Lensher introduced herself and her companions. - 'In turn, I haven't heard of you.

- Oh, that's all right! I'm not very famous yet. But I hope that will soon change. I have something that almost everyone needs," said Pluto, smiling enigmatically, and twirling his cane.

- And what is that? - Mystique asked, in a velvety voice that excited almost everyone who could.

- The power to grant Wishes," the man replied, smiling broadly.

- Just like a Genie? - The metamorph clarified with a smile, bowing her head.

- Something like that. Only I do it not for nothing, but for a reward. But I warn you right away, I don't practice such nonsense as world domination, cleansing the Earth of humans or mutants and other such things.

- Then it's a bit rubbish," Sabretooth said mockingly. - If I'm going to grant wishes, I'm going to grant wishes of any kind.

- Hmm? I've been called a liar? - Pluto questioned, losing his cheerfulness. His skin began to blacken and his eyes turned black. - No human, mutant, or any other creature has yet been born who can call me that and continue to live as if nothing had happened.

With each word, those around him felt the horror radiating from the man grow stronger, from which they quickly moved away. Exodus frowned and stepped forward, trying to cover Magneto. At the same time, he covered his allies with some sort of field designed to protect them from Pluto's possible attack and influence. It didn't help much, though.

- I think we should calm down," Erika intervened, putting a hand on Exodus' shoulder and glaring at Creed. - I apologise for my subordinate's stupid words. 

Victoria only grimaced at that.

- It's up to the perpetrator to apologise, but I'll forgive your ward for the first time, dear Magneto," Pluto said, becoming cheerful again. - And a small clarification. I do not fulfil such wishes because of certain principles and the lack of equivalent payment for such services in the entire universe. And I don't think you'd like it if some mutant-hater wished such a thing, hmm?

- Indeed, we wouldn't like that. But how do we know you won't agree to something like that in the future? - Erika asked, tensing, then looked at Radar. The mutant who had used her powers on Pluto shook her head, confirming that he was human. - And wouldn't it be better to eliminate such a threat here and now?

- Not from nowhere," the man replied ironically. - All you have to do is trust my Promise. And I've already told you that no one can pay me for something like this. And as for eliminating the threat... You can try, of course, but I'll give you some good advice. It's not worth it. I'll take out at least half of them. And that tan guy first. I don't like him trying to get inside my head.

- You think too much of yourself man! - said du Parry in a French accent, radiating pathos half the size of the Ultramarines' captain. - I have fought those whose might you cannot even imagine! 

- A human? Aah! That Radar girl thinks I'm human? Well, maybe so. Except.

- I'd like to know why you came to this settlement. - Lensherr interrupted the man, squeezing Exodus's shoulder tighter and forcing him to calm down.

- I apologise profusely, but why do you ask? - Pluto asked, tilting his head to the side in an accent that people who knew him would recognise as Odessa.

- We're protecting mutants, and we can't afford to hurt these poor people.

- So I'm not harming them. On the contrary! I'm willing to help them find a form with which they can live in society! - exclaimed the dandy.

- And at what cost? You're not doing this for nothing, are you?

- That's right. And the price is one. Working for me, using my powers.

- That sounds too vague," Mystique said.

- And the details are company secrets. Only those who agree will know them. But I can assure you that there will be no experiments or any other dirt. And with my powers, what's the point? It's like shooting sparrows with a cannon.

- Then why do you need employees? - Magneto found what she thought was an inconsistency.

- The lack of need for experiments on "fresh material" does not negate the need for additional hands to do a job, - said Pluto, shrugging his shoulders.

- If you don't want to be specific, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave," Erika said politely but adamantly. - I will not allow you to do strange things to my brothers and sisters with unknown consequences and try to enslave them for unknown purposes.

Perhaps she would have tried to throw this incomprehensible Pluto out by force, but her own feelings urged that the matter be settled peacefully. Like Destiny's warning before teleportation. And this guy was acting too confidently, while apparently having an idea of mutant powers.

- Oh, my! Interesting. But you have no right to speak for all the mutants present," the man said with a mocking smile and turned to the crowd watching them closely. - Dear friends, those who call themselves the protectors of the mutant people want to throw me out of here and take away your opportunity to live a normal life! Don't you deserve this for all the injustice life has bestowed upon you?!

- How dare you! - Exodus exclaimed, enveloped in psi energy.

The rest of his comrades tensed as well. And the Morlocks began to resent the unauthorised behaviour of the newcomers. Pluto, sensing the mood of the mutants, was able to find the right words for his reaction.

- I also want to ask you, how often do they come to you for help?! Something tells me it's rare! - jumping on the dais, the man began to broadcast with heat in his voice and gesticulating vigorously. - They're going to dictate to you how to live! Doesn't that sound like politicians from the surface?! They're going to take away the last thing you have! Your free will! All so they can control you! 

- Get out of here, brothers and sisters!

- Yes! We want our normal appearance back!

- What are you talking about?! This guy could be anyone! It's the first day we've seen him, and the Community is our people! They're fighting people for us!

- What good have these people done to me?! At least this guy can help!

The crowd split into two camps trying to convince their opponents. Magneto's subordinates kept their eyes on the new "leader of the revolution".

- I was beginning to like this boy," Mystique said sadly in a velvet voice.

- That rascal!... I will personally crush him!... - said Du Parry with righteous anger.

- No! - Fate stopped him, blocking the man's path. - Erika, we have to leave! If we stay another minute and thirty-seven seconds, this will end badly! It was my mistake! I misinterpreted what I saw! I shouldn't have come here!

- What's he gonna do to all of us? - Radar asked mockingly, inflating a bubble of gum and bursting it. - One Exodus will roll him in stone. He may have the power to change organisms, but....

- That's not all of his powers! - Irene interrupted the girl. - Erika, Pluto is too dangerous! I don't see his future! Only ours, and not all of it! Please, let's go!

- I agree with the old woman. And I don't like that dude," the sour Imagineer interjected and was elbowed by Mystique. - Ouch! You're a big old lady!

- You little bugger! 

- Oh, come on!

I may have a potential enemy on my side, but he can wait. It's more important to punish the one who dares to call beautiful and young women old women! Never mind that they were born at the end of the 19th century!

- No, I can't leave my people to be torn apart by some demon or whatever he really is! - Magneto said firmly, ignoring the scuffle.

- That's right, Mrs Lehnsherr! - The thousand-year-old Frenchman immediately agreed with her. - Let me deal with him!

- All right.

- Enough of your poisoned Pluto speeches! - shouted Exodus. - We won't let you do as you please! Besides, we don't know the nature of your power. It may well come from the evil one!

- Hoo! Who's awake?! A crusader who got his power from a dinosaur-like mutant?! - the man asked mockingly, turning away from the arguing crowd. - What's more, you think the mission is the wrong one. Magneto is nothing but a broken and fear-shrouded woman. Fear of a repeat of the Holocaust, only with mutants. Do you really want to serve such a leader?!

- I will no longer allow you to blaspheme Mrs Lensherr! - said Exodus as he concentrated his energies to strike at this scoundrel.

- Stop, Bennet! You can't do this! - The Frenchman was again persuaded by Fate, but he only waved the Frenchman away and went to Pluto.

- Let him teach that clever fellow a lesson," said Sabretooth mockingly.

- I don't like this," said Dreamer, who didn't want to fight someone who had a connection to the Head. 

- Raven, be ready to run away when it gets too hot," Irene whispered to the metamorph, knowing she would disagree. But Destiny couldn't stay silent either.

- I will not abandon our people," the metamorph replied just as quietly.

Meanwhile, Exodus was looming over Yesterday's Promise.

- О? You don't know how much power I have, but you're still coming right at me?! Even though you can feel the danger from me with all your being?! - The man asked with interest, leaning on his cane.

- Exactly! Because the gift of the Goddess will allow me to crush any abomination!

- Well, well! Then begin, crusader!

- Fall! - Exodus exclaimed and struck his opponent with a telekinetic press.

- It's useless! - Pluto replied without even staggering. The Moonstone was able to completely nullify this attack.

The Morlocks present began to scurry away from the battle scene with shouts while Magneto's group tensed up, ready to fight. Du Parry tried to hit harder, but switched to defence when he saw what looked like magic circles with a red Star of David inscribed in them appear around him. Energy constructs in the form of all sorts of cold weapons instantly began to appear from them. Fortunately they could not break through the mutant's psi-shield, but unpleasantly surprised by the power invested. And then the blades were joined by several huge energy arms that squeezed the Crusader's barrier with incredible force.

The crusader had to use more force to avoid being crushed. With a roar, he tore the constructs apart with psi energy and tried to squeeze Pluto himself in response. Except that in a small radius around his opponent's body, the mutant's effects simply dissipated. It felt like Yesterday's Promise had some kind of field that blocked psi attacks. It was unclear whether it was a device or an ability.

In the end, all of du Parry's blows were either smashed against this field or against barriers with the same six-pointed star symbol. Pluto, for his part, was not shy about throwing constructs at his opponent from all sides with ostentatious laziness. Naturally, Exodus didn't use even ten per cent of his strength, but it was stupid and dangerous for others to fight in earnest under the thickness of stone and earth. If he had been alone and on the surface, the Frenchman would have crushed the scoundrel long ago!

Realising that their main fighting force could not solve the problem in one fell swoop, Creed and Raven joined the fight. The Sabretooth lunged at Pluto with a roar, but while still in the air, it was caught by the red energy construct, making a lazy gesture with its left hand.

- 'A wild beast should be caged,' said Yesterday's Promise cheerfully, keeping his focus on fighting Exodus.

- Raaaaargh!!! - roared the woman, using all her inhuman strength to break the bars of the construct. She even started to succeed, but too slowly, so the Frenchman helped Victoria out with his telekinesis. - Now I'll show you an animal, fashionista!

This time Pluto simultaneously fending off Exodus and Mystique, who had come out from behind him, was unable to catch Sabretooth. But the mutant herself didn't even scratch the barrier surrounding her opponent's body. Dendi, on the other hand, skilfully fighting hand-to-hand with the girls and using constructs with the crusader, gradually began to close in on his opponents. Seeing this Magneto decided to act.

- Alan, use all your strength! - ordered the woman to Fantasist. - We need to deal with him before our brothers and sisters have time to get hurt!

- Head, what do I do?! - mentally appealed to his benefactor, at the same time giving him information about what was going on.

- Do as she says. Don't be afraid of hurting Pluto. He'll be able to fight back," was the immediate reply.

- Got it! - Alan said to both of them at once and used his ability.

Immediately, three copies of the mutants from the Community appeared around him. One had enhanced physical characteristics, the second had electrokinesis, and the third had sound control. All of the clones simultaneously attacked Pluto, who went into a deafening defence. Magneto also joined her subordinates, controlling the metal that had previously covered her suit. 

But this situation didn't last long. As if reaching a new level of strength, the smiling man mimicked a gun with his fingers and "shot" Sabretooth, leaving a huge hole in the place of her heart. The woman fell to the floor with a surprised look on her face, and the mutants, frozen for a brief moment, charged at their enemy with furious rage. Pluto, however, did not wait submissively for retribution. He slammed Mystique into the wall, removing her from the battle for the moment, and snapped his fingers to create a barrier that cut off the fighters from the locals. After doing so, Yesterday's Promise spread his hands apart and said with a smile:

- I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. Behold the gates of Babylon!

At the same moment, many hexagrams appeared near the combatants, releasing hundreds of constructs.

- No way! - Exodus exclaimed and covered his comrades with a psi-shield.

While du Paree was busy, Pluto encased all the metal Magneto had controlled in a small spherical barrier, rendering her useless. But then the dandy was attacked by Sabretooth, who had already regenerated all her damage. With a terrible roar she attacked the humming man, thus forcing him to reduce the intensity of his fire. With the support of the Fantasy Creed's spears, she tried to break through the defences of Yesterday's Promise and she even succeeded once. Striking with all her inhuman strength at the place where Alan's constructs' attacks hit, the mutant was able to break through the enemy's barrier and reach his body. Except it felt like the man had metal instead of flesh and equally durable clothing.

- Wow! Impressive! It's not a bad way to get killed, you know. - Pluto said, as if nothing had happened, as he regained his defences and kept throwing energy blades at the Frenchman.

- Wait for my command! - whispered Destiny to her superior. Lehnsherr looked at her carefully and nodded.

- A man like you wouldn't be killed with a crowbar! - Creed snarled, attacking at the same time as the physically strong copy of Dreamer. Two more clones were also waiting for Adler's command.

- I've had enough of this! In the name of my people, I will crush you! - Exodus exclaimed, unleashing much more power than before. 

With a single blow, he destroyed all the hexagrams created by Pluto, thus stopping the flow of energy constructs flying at the mutants. Having removed the threat to his comrades, the Frenchman concentrated all his energies on such a dangerous opponent. Yesterday's Promise found himself in a cocoon of psi-power that was gradually shrinking. The barriers surrounding the man's body were beginning to break down, forcing him to stop attacking. And this was the moment Fate had chosen for the team.

- Now!!!

In the same instant, Magneto ripped out the held metal and attacked her opponent with it, forming a sharp spike. She was joined by Alan's electric and sonic clone. Together they all struck at the same point, breaking through Pluto's defences a second time and sending him hurtling at great speed into the nearest wall. The force of the impact was such that the man disappeared into the breach.

- Well? - Mystique asked, holding her side.

- Nothing good," Destiny replied tensely. - Things could go badly. Pluto could still overpower us. We must...

- Nonsense!" Exodus interrupted her angrily. - He can't beat us! 

- I'm tired of arguing. I hope what happens will make you heed my words in the future.

- Ha! You trust too much in what hasn't happened yet! - Exodus said dismissively, folding his arms across his chest.

- And that's why you're still alive...

- Oh-ho-ho-ho! And you don't trifle, honoured mutants! - heard an ironic voice that made everyone tense up. 

Almost immediately, its owner appeared from the breach. He didn't look as perfect as he had a moment ago. The suit on his chest had been torn, exposing blackened skin that was, however, perfectly intact. But the worst part of it was that the fabric seemed to be alive, gradually splicing itself together. White marks began to appear on the suit itself, the mere sight of which caused a sharp headache and strange hallucinations. The mind was filled with visions of sand and death following the intruders on their heels. 

- Clap, clap, clap!

- Quite impressive! - Clapping, Pluto said cheerfully, flashing the reddened irises of his eyes. Combined with the regenerating and acting like liquid clothes, it looked creepy. - To be honest, I even get the impression that you wanted to kill me.

- Yeah? Then you're extremely stupid for not realising it sooner! - Radar jumped in with her valuable opinion. Apparently she wanted to be part of the battle in some way.

- Eh, it's always like this," the man said with exaggerated sadness, raising his eyes and waving his hands. - You want to be nice to everyone, but they insult you! And you know, my dear, you're the one who has no brains, if you speak like that to someone who has withstood all your attacks.

- Then we'll just hit harder! - du Paree intervened.

- You're welcome. Except I might start fighting to the death.

- And you didn't do that before? - Erica asked grimly. - Who destroyed Victoria's heart and a third of her chest?

- Well, that's not a problem for her. So I don't understand the complaint. Oh, well. Perhaps I should show you that I can be serious, because you have formed some strange ideas about me.

The man snapped his fingers and the mutants, who rushed to attack him, suddenly felt something extremely strange. They suddenly lost their strength. In the next moment, they were all tightly bound by red chains that appeared from hexagrams.

- If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it from the beginning... - Pluto began, suddenly disappearing from one place and appearing next to Destiny, intending to pierce her skull with his finger. - That's it!...

- Saw-saw! Saw-saw!

- Irene!!! - Raven exclaimed in despair as she realised what had almost happened.

- You bastard! Fight fair!

- Don't touch Irene you bastard!

- Fuck!

- Hmm," Pluto said, pulling his phone out of his pocket and still holding his finger to the seer's head. - Keep it down, please.

Instantly, new chains wrapped around the captives' mouths, who could only moo and struggle to get free. Their captor, however, took his hand away from the woman's head and looked at the mutants and said:

- Don't go anywhere.

- Mmmmmmmmmmmmm (very funny)," Dreamer mumbled.

- Yeah? What's wrong? - Without listening to the defeated opponents, Pluto asked his interlocutor.

- ...

- Hmm, I'm a little busy right now. 

- ...

- Oh! That sounds very tempting. Well, so be it. I'll owe you a bun. I know just the place that makes the most delicious buns. Okay, I'll be there in 20 minutes.

- Peak!

By this time, the barrier that protected the locals from stray attacks had dissipated, so they witnessed a man talking.

- Um, how could his phone be ringing if no surface signals can penetrate here? - A short mutant woman, completely wrapped in clothes, asked quietly.

- How would I know? Just ask him," whispered her counterpart, who looked like an upright frog.

- You just have to find the right brand and work with a good operator," Pluto replied, glancing at the Morlocks before turning to the mutants. - How serious am I? Oh, you can't talk. Oh, well. I suggest we live together. You don't touch me, I don't touch you. And we'll all be happy. Think about it and give me an answer sometime, okay?

Yesterday's Promise, having lost interest in the Mutant Community group, created a deck of black cards in his hand and spread them out in the form of a fan.

- Dear friends, only you can decide your fate! If you wish to change your appearance, just squeeze this card in your hand and wish to see me! - The man addressed the Morlocks and threw the entire deck upwards. As he did so, each card began to slowly float downwards, towards one mutant or another.

The locals, seeing that everything had calmed down, began to come closer and stealthily looked around to grab the cards, hiding them from prying eyes. Pluto, satisfied with the way the Morlocks were sorting out his cards, turned to Magneto and Co. again.

- And now let us finish with you, honoured ones. And I think I'll say a few words to Monsieur du Parry.

Another snap of his fingers and the chains that bound the mutants dissolved into thin air. They immediately tried to summon their powers, but it didn't work. Ignoring yesterday's promise, he walked up to Exodus and whispered something to him.

- That never!...

The Frenchman had no time to finish, choking on his own words, when Pluto touched two fingers to his forehead.

- Bennet! - shouted the mutant's comrades.

- I-I'm-I'm fine," the man wheezed, lowering his head with a shocked expression.

- What did he do?! - Erica asked, stepping closer to her subordinate, glaring fiercely at Pluto.

- 'Nothing like that... Just showed some illusion. I'm already fine," Exodus assured the woman deafly.

- You don't look it.

- I was really just showing a little illusion," said Yesterday's Promise, with an expression of offended innocence. - You shouldn't worry so much, or you'll get wrinkles. All right, ladies and gentlemen. I must leave you now. We'll talk some other time, okay?

And he just disappeared. And with that, the mutants got their powers back. Irene Adler sat down on the floor with a weary exhalation. Raven came running over to her.

- What is it, my love?

- Nothing anymore," Destiny replied, hugging Mystique. - We walked on very thin ice today. Luckily I was able to steer things in the right direction. Now we need to rest. There's nothing more we can do.

- We'll get these cards first," Magneto said as she watched the Morlocks try to collect them.

- We can't do that, or the locals will get mad at us. It will bring a lot of problems in the future and undermine the mutants' trust in you Eric. I think Pluto will decide to take advantage of such a great opportunity. So, please, listen to me at least for now," Destiny urged Erika, standing up from the floor and leaning on Mystique.

- Are you sure about this?

- I can see it," Irene answered without a trace of doubt.

- ...Good. Let's not do anything about it,' Magneto agreed with a squeak.

- Ugh. What are we going to do about this Pluto? - Sabretooth asked, folding her arms across her chest.

- Nothing yet. No need to provoke him. We should see what he will do in the future....

The perpetrator of this incident teleported into the tunnels some distance away from the entrance and collapsed against the wall.

End of retreat.

- Ha-ha-ha!

Yeah, they got me pretty good. Even though I looked like a cucumber on the outside, I wasn't so good on the inside. I wouldn't die, of course, but it wasn't pleasant. Wiping the blood flowing from my mouth, I started to restore my internal organs.

It took a couple of minutes, as there was not much strength left. Still, facing two omega-level mutants was no small matter. Even though they were at a disadvantage, even so they gave me a lot of trouble. Even the superpower damper burned out while suppressing their power. I had to restore it a couple of times. Still, it's extremely difficult to defeat them without killing them. 

Oh, well, enough chillin'. Gerda and her mum are expecting me and Aki for a family dinner. I've got to get cleaned up, pick up my favourite girl and buy some baked goods.

Barely clinging to the wall, I teleported home. I had a quick rinse, and was about to go pick up the girl when I got another phone call. It was Benji.

- Hello. Is something wrong?

- I was able to find information on Carmen Reed. A video, actually.

- How is it urgent?

- It's hard to say," Ben replied. - But the video was taken a couple of days ago. There's no way to find them on a hot lead.

- Them? - I questioned, feeling a sickening sense of a problem the size of Mount Everest looming.

- Yes. She already has two supporters. I suspect they're Distortions, too.

- Shit," I said, covering my eyes and clenching my left fist. - It was to be expected, though. Okay, since we can't catch them, let's put it off for a few hours. I don't think they're gonna make a difference. 

- Whatever you say, Kyle. I'll try to find out more in the meantime.

- Okay, Ben.

Turning off my phone, I stared blankly at the display. Now instead of one problem, there were three. And something tells me I'm not going to like what I see. Hopefully Gerda's tea will get me mentally prepared for it.
