Crystal Room
As its name indicates, this place is made of an indestructible material that has a Crystal-like appearance.
Its size is like that of a great castle.
Very very spacious.
In the center of that place rest the bodies of Alex Wayne's wives.
In every corner there are Sentinels that guard and protect it.
After Est, Laura, Riri and Illyana left the place to see Alex.
In that place there are only the children of Alex Wayne.
A young woman with long blonde hair and a white dress is sitting while looking at the crystal coffins in the middle of the room.
She is the daughter of Alex Wayne and Emma Frost.
Elena Wayne.
She is the second oldest daughter.
She had walked away from her siblings who are gathered in the middle of the Crystal Room.
But at all times she keeps her eyes on them.
She and her siblings had heard that some visitors were coming to Genosha due to a global crisis.
But they didn't care about those things as they know their father is enough to take care of it.
But Elena has other plans, she is like her mother in that part.
Very curious.
Although she wouldn't intervene, she wants to know about it.
"Alexa, show me the information of what is currently happening in the world" Elena said softly.
Once she finished speaking, a floating black sphere appears next to her that says:
"Understood miss"
Instantly the sphere lights up and holographic images of what is happening in New York appear in front of Elena.
She watches as the Avengers building is filled with strange, grotesque, zombie-like creatures.
The strange thing about them is that most of them resemble some of Earth's heroes.
And they can't leave the building since it's surrounded by an energy field.
But she is clear that at any moment it would fall.
The image changes and shows her the streets of New York.
There are also zombies wandering around but they are normal unlike the ones locked in Avengers Tower.
"How interesting" Elena murmured as she looked at those zombies.
As she watches that, Elena hears a voice asking:
"What are you looking at, sister?"
Hearing the question, Elena looks away from the screen and looks at the person who spoke.
She is a young woman with fiery reddish hair and a childish aura around her, with a big smile on her face as she looks curiously at the holographic screens in front of her.
"Is that a movie, sister?" she asked curiously.
"It's not a movie Hope, this is a live broadcast of what's happening in New York" Elena answered the girl with the name of Hope.
She is Hope Wayne, daughter of Jean Gray.
In this universe, because the Celestials found out about Alex's children long before he helps Lilandra.
And due to her memories and Mastermind manipulation, Dark Phoenix was born.
The cosmic entity caused chaos and during that time confronted Alex, who was victorious and brought her back to Genosha. From that moment on, a relationship was born between Jean and Alex.
The girl sticks her tongue out playfully at Elena and accompanies her watching the broadcast.
"Woah, this is amazing, they look a lot like the zombies from Resident Evil" Hope commented as she looked with her beautiful eyes at the zombies.
Elena also agrees with her little sister's thoughts.
"Was this what sister Est meant by a danger on Earth?" Hope asked.
"Yeah" Elena answered as she nodded.
Elena, who was concentrating on the broadcast, frowns but quickly flashes a small amused smile.

At that moment, a small figure half the size of an insect sneaked into the Crystal Room without anyone noticing.
This being was Ant-Man Zombie, who had managed to avoid being trapped in Avengers Tower by Franklin Richards, by entering the Quantum Realm.
He decided to hide and watch the movements of the heroes of this universe.
He was surprised when he found out that they were going to Genosha because according to the heroes, there were people in that place capable of taking care of them.
Boarding a Helicarrier as a stowaway, he accompanied the heroes to Genosha, once they arrived he slipped away and found this place made of crystal.
It seemed to be some kind of graveyard so he decided to use this place to hide and wait for the right moment to attack.
But to his surprise, close to him he saw two young women watching a broadcast of what was happening in New York.
For some strange reason his appetite rose at the sight of them.
So he decided to attack them and feast before hiding.
He approached cautiously while the two girls talked unaware of the danger.
That put a sinister smile on Ant-Man's covered face, anticipating the looks of horror on the girls as he devours them.
Seeing that the girls were distracted, Ant-Man took advantage of it, pressing the button on his suit he became a giant and without giving any chance he opened his mouth as wide as possible and devoured Hope in one bite.
Ant-man swallows contently and turns to look at the blonde-haired girl.
Who to his surprise gives him an amused look.
"Was my sister delicious, are you satisfied yet?" Elena asked with a smile.
"Yes, she was delicious and I'm still not…" Ant-Man answered unconsciously until he realized something strange, until a few seconds ago he felt full but now it's as if he hadn't eaten anything.
"Looks like my magical abilities have improved, since you really thought you were eating me. Ah, now I realize that sounded weird" Hope said that at some point she appeared next to Elena and looked at Ant-Man Zombie with a smile.
Before Ant-Man could react, with a wave of her hand Hope released powerful flames that incinerated his entire body.
Killing him instantly.
