Prologue

"Boss! Boss! You won't believe what I found!"

The young man ran over to a black haired woman, lounging on the leather couch.

"What is it now, Tiger?" the woman asked, a bit annoyed that he had disturbed her.

"You ain't gonna like this, but I found something in the news I'm sure you'll be interested in. I mean, the others are."

The black haired woman then snatched the newspaper he was waving in front of her face. He was right she didn't like what she saw.

"How in the hell is he alive!?" the woman yelled, bolting up from the couch. "That assassin Alice was suppose to have killed him. Why is he still alive?!"

"Woah, calm down there missy." the man chuckled. "We're mad too, but we aren't yelling about it. Chill. Breath."

The woman slammed the newspaper on the coffee table in front of her, and sighed.

"Does Night Crawler know about this?" she asked, running a hand through her long, raven colored hair.

"No, he's still asleep. He was out for a long time last night, taking care of that guy you told him to get rid of."

The man then plopped down on the couch, propping his feet up on the armrest of it.

"I'm sure he ain't gonna be happy about it neither, but he'll probably just go under cover again like he did last time."

"That's the thing though." the woman grunted, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I don't want him going out alone again. He's been away for a long while. He finally came back when we thought HE was dead. Now he'll have to go undercover again." she then let out a sigh, then hearing the familiar footsteps coming down the stairs of the hideout.

"Looks like he's finally awake." the man said, putting his arms behind his head. "You want me to tell him?"

"No, I'll tell him." she sighed, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I'm the only one that can calm him down, and I'm sure he'll have a fit when he hears that he's alive. You just stay back here and be quiet. At least for once in your life, calm down."

"Aye, aye, Boss!" the man teasingly said, saluting and grinning his usual sarcastic grin.

The woman then rolled her eyes, and walked out of the living room. She wasn't looking forward to it, but someone had to tell him. One way or another, he would find out what everyone in Wonderland knew.

The Queen was back.
