Christina made it downstairs still somewhat half-asleep and managed to answer the phone in time. As much as Christina wanted to be angry and scream into the phone, she simply answered drowsy.
Christina: Hello?
Unfamiliar voice: Da. Forgive me for calling so late, but may I speak with Kitty Pryde please?
Christina rolls her eyes. Typical, she has to get up to answer the phone and it's not for her. Not that she was expecting a call but still...
Christina: Yeah, hang on.
She puts her hand over the receiver and calls for Kitty. She wonders who is this guy with a strange accent.

Kitty comes into the living room and takes the phone from Christina. As Christina crashes on the couch trying to rest again, Kitty answers the call.
Kitty: Yes, this is Kitty.
Familiar voice: Katya.
Kitty: Pete, what are you doing calling here so late?
Colossus: Sorry, it is so late, but it is important.
Kitty: What is it?
Colossus: Some cossack attacked at de mansion tonight. He was after Leech.
Kitty: Do you know who the man is?
Colossus: He called himself Count. Said he was de Sovereigns are working to help de Brotherhood.
Kitty's face held a grave look. The Sovereigns were attacking again. This time, at the other mansion.
Kitty: Pete, we've dealt with the Sovereigns before. They are highly dangerous. They're trying to take up Magneto's act of homo superiors over humans. Is everyone okay?
At the sound of the Sovereigns, Christina opened her eyes and pulled herself to a sitting position to study the look of Kitty's face. The Sovereigns were at it again, already?
Colossus: Storm is in critical condition.... and dere were two causalities. Psylocke and Leech.
Kitty's face paled. The Sovereigns took the young man's and Psylocke's lives. Whatever they were after, they had gotten it. Christina read the look on Kitty's face and knew it wasn't good.
Kitty: But why was he after Leech?
Colossus: I do not know. But whatever it is, it is what de Brotherhood wanted.
Kitty: Pete, I have to go report this to our leader here. Let me know about Storm's condition or if he comes back.
Colossus: Da. Your team also has our support if you need us.
Kitty: I'll let you know.
Kitty hung up the phone and looked at Christina. As tired as she felt before, there was no way Christina was going to get back to sleep. And so the two went to find Liz.
