From a Straddle Throne, we can transition into an Inverse Cross through an intermediate pose — the One-Legged Straddle Throne.
Base turns the flyer in one direction, flyer extends her nearly leg, base grabs it with his hand. Flyer turns backwards and lowers his shoulders, extends her arms to the side, base puts his foot under the fyler’s armpit. She puts her weight on it, base takes his leg out of the lock and enters the flyer’s other armpit. Flyer extends her leg, which the base grabs, so they assume the inverse cross pose.
