If the grooms had been about to say anything in response to Lady Ghanima's lovely opening, that sentiment was cut short by a loud explosion at the other side of the room.
Because some people just couldn't use doors.
"Mutie! Remember us?!" Standing in the rubble, there were two men. Two machines? Two men with way too much metal grafted to their bodies to be completely human, no matter what they insisted they were. "You thought you could keep what you were doing here a secret from us for long?"
Goon Frank
The guy standing next to the one who was talking looked at him askance and held up a newspaper clipping.
"Actually, Earl, there was a wedding announcement in the paper, remember?"
Goon Earl
"Shut up, Frank," the first man hissed, turning his attention temporarily toward his companion long enough to make him cower back a bit. "This is exactly how the mutie freaks got the better of us and our failed e-business in the first place, you know."
He cleared his... throat? And then looked back toward the bemused grooms.
"The fact remains, we've been looking for you ever since our last fateful meeting, Starsmore! We've followed you all around the world, following tabloids and newspaper articles, to THIS PLACE."
Jono
Jono just stared at the two idiots in the... hole in the wall three steps away from where the doorway had been. He was having difficulty placing them, honestly.
//What? Wait, who the hell put an announcement in the classifieds!?//
Jubilee
Don't mind Jubilee. She was just going to whistle casually and try to slip out of the room unnoticed.
She would have stuck around for the fight and to face the music for that one, but she did have a baby in her arms, so Jono would have to take up the jubilant wedding announcement with her later. Sorry, guys!
Hannibal
Hannibal noted her leaving, but...well, she did have a baby. And if she hadn't posted an announcement, he likely would have.
He looked over at Jono. "Friends of yours?"
Jono
//Now there's a word I never would've used,// Jono muttered, rolling his eyes and then stepping forward to put himself between the crazies and the wedding party. Alluka, mostly, though that was mostly because he trusted Hannibal to keep himself out of the line of fire. //Christ, I haven't seen these plonkers since before I attended ESU.//
For like a week.
//Alright, listen up. These lunatics are dangerous, but stupi–//
He was cut off then as a handful more mech'd up goons appeared in the doorway. Apparently Frank and Earl had been collecting some backup since the last time Jono took them out using mostly just his wits and an ill-fated lamp. One of them raised an energy weapon and fired a bolt of green energy into the crowd. It caught Logan square in the chest, flinging him backwards, through the wall to the dining room, directly into the cake.
//... Sod it. Let's beat those bastards soundly.//
BUT THEN!
Because some people just couldn't use doors.
