She had a list of things to do, one of them being that she needed to have a little chat with Ayita, and maybe Richard if he chose to be apart of it. The whole point of the team was to prove that they were better than the Brotherhood, that not all mutants were bad, and actually killing people when you had a choice not to was a major thing. Yes, she was fine if there was no choice but to, but from what she knew, others had tried to stop Ayita from killing someone, since she had the option not to kill. She walked in and glanced over at the TV when it shifted to commercial, and she just so happened to be hear Charlie's comment when she walked over, and she had to suppress the urge to hit him in the head. [color=007236]"First of all, they are retired, technically... Secondly, we do NOT need their help, and the third thing, I only know where Rogue and Remy are, which is Louisiana, and Scott and Jean are in New York State somewhere. Not to mention there was a falling out with the Professor that they all thought I didn't know about. Last time I saw any of them was Remy, and that was almost a year ago. We do not need their help unless absolutely necessary! And clearly you think this sort of thing is something we might not be able to handle, so why don't you just keep quiet about it!"[/color] After a moment, she took a few deep breaths to calm down. She was freaking out, and she had no idea what to do in their situation. Turning, she looked at Damon, [color=007236]"Don't worry, we aren't going to let them get away with it,"[/color] she said more calmly, though she was still taking a few deep breaths. Mira looked at her, and it was pretty obvious that Mary might be having a melt down or something, since she wanted to get everyone out of this situation, and to her it was sounding like that might not exactly be possible. [color=8493ca]"The question is, how exactly are we going to do that? After all, they have the upper hand in almost every way. They have the support of the general public, we don't, odds are they will use that to their advantage, and even if the truth that they were behind it did come out, they might still be able to twist the truth to support them..."[/color] Mira said softly, and Mary turned to look at her now. [color=007236]"I know that... No matter what we do they'd have some way to fix things to help them... No, we'd have to go straight to the source and attack the organizations HQ, and reveal what they are doing that way. Problem with that plan is that if we failed, that would be used against us even more than everything right now... There isn't exactly much we can do without there being a chance. If we strike them and fail, we literally "prove" their own point that all mutants are dangerous to the general population, so no matter what we do, one screw up and it is all over. That is the reality of the situation..."[/color] [color=8493ca]"So, there is not much we can do, it isn't like we can walk up to Jakobsen, who from what we can tell is the leader or a powerful member of the group and do something that way..."[/color] [color=f7941d]"Uh, I actually am best friends with a guy who is friends with Jakobsen. Rhodey and him are old friends, and I think Jakobsen last I checked owed Rhodey a favor..."[/color] Mary just stared at Tony when he said that. So, sounds like they might actually be able to get close enough to Jakobsen to at least try talking to him after all. Sure, it might be a bad idea in the long run, but still, if it didn't work there was no way Jakobsen could actually twist the truth to work in his favor. [color=007236]"You know, you could have told us this a little while ago right?"[/color] [color=f7941d]"The thought just occurred to me since she mentioned it,"[/color] Tony responded with a shrug, and Mary just shook her head. For someone who was supposedly a genius, he really could be dumb. Either that or just wanting to wait for a suspenseful moment or something, and after she thought about it for a moment, when it came to Tony Stark the latter was more likely to actually be true. [color=8493ca]"...So we could see about using that to our advantage then..."[/color] Mira muttered, glancing over as Future Pietro walked up. [color=A6C1C3]"Wouldn't recommend trying, you can't exactly reason with Jakobsen, he's a mad man, doesn't care about anyone but himself. You'd be walking into a trap if you tried to get close enough to actually talk to him."[/color] [color=007236]"We've got to try something, and striking them at their HQ without any sort of plan is likely to get us killed or potentially worse. They know where we are, but we can't take the fight to them at the moment, since as I said before, one small misstep and we could make things a whole lot worse!"[/color] He let out a sigh, shaking his head, [color=A6C1C3]"Fine, if everyone else is fine with at least attempting it, I won't stop you, majority rules after all, I'm just saying don't be surprised that when you go talk to Jakobsen, well, don't be surprised if he tries something..."[/color] [color=007236]"I will keep that in mind, what are everyone elses' thoughts on this?"[/color] Mary asked, looking around at the group. [hr][hr][h1][b][i][center][color=yellow]Lance Banner[/color][/center][/i][/b][/h1] [center][img]https://image.ibb.co/bVP9HJ/Lance.gif[/img] [color=yellow][b]Location:[/b] Stark Tower - Medical[/color][/center][hr][hr] Lance nodded to Bethany, saying nothing. It wasn't like he could patch up his own injuries, all of the glass was embedded in his back, so he was fine letting her help him out. Then of course his dad came in and basically ignored what he had told him, and came over to him. [color=8dc73f]"...I'm his father and I have several advanced degrees....I've got this...."[/color] he said before despite Lance's grumbling Banner stopped the bleeding in his back and gave him a small blood transfusion. [color=8dc73f]"Hey buddy....you....you feeling better?"[/color] [color=yellow]"I'm fine, I told you to go help the others before me, why don't you listen..."[/color] Lance grumbled, glaring at him. Banner bit his lip, looking at Lance. He opened his mouth for a moment to say something, before he just shook his head and went back to work on Lance's injuries silently. Lance tried to get away from him. [color=yellow]"Stop it! Last thing we need is for you and me to have another argument that could end really badly!"[/color] [color=8dc73f]"....You're my son, buddy...."[/color] Banner mumbled, his voice breaking as tears came from his eyes. [color=8dc73f]"....You're always my first priority...even though you hate me...."[/color] [color=yellow]"Whatever... Maybe we should help the person that was helping to hold up the plane and nearly got shot out of the sky by robots, or the blue furry person who is really smart, and could actually probably help us out a bit,"[/color] Lance said as he stood up and grabbed some medical equipment and started heading towards Beast and Thalia. Banner didn't say anything, just staring at Lance and feeling like he was better off dead. [color=blue]"That is good to hear Ms. van Essenhout,"[/color] Hank muttered, managing to stay conscious Lance ignored his dad and wandered over to Beast, since his injuries had occurred first, he might as well try and patch him up. [color=yellow]"Don't worry, I do have some medical training actually...[/color] Lance muttered, and after a few moments, he had Beast patched up completely and set up with a blood transfusion. [color=yellow]"There, you should be feeling a lot better soon..."[/color] he mumbled. Thalia on her bed was completely out cold. Her body was covered in some burns, and there was still some blood coming from her head, turning her silver hair red. Lance wandered over to her, trying to figure out what to do. He didn't really know what to do for her injuries, but his main goal was to stop her head from bleeding, so he started there, but it was probably going to take him a while, since apparently his dad wasn't helping. Banner hesitated for a moment, before he went to help Lance with Thalia. He had tears in his eyes but said nothing. After a few moments, Lance stepped back, saying nothing as he went and sat down again, his back was hurting a lot still. He gave Bethany a small smile, before he looked away and at the ground.
