Her heart was heavy as she looked at the queen, seeing how vulnerable she was in this state. Why would someone do something so horrible? She could have understood someone attacking King Erik but Miranda? She had the compassion and kindness that her husband lacked. At least that compassion would rule the world when Flynn took his father's place on the throne. He was a lot like his mother. Allison started to fill the people in the room in on what [i]she[/i] believed had happened and Guin glanced up, tearing herself away from Queen Miranda's side. [color=cc33ff]"Okay, so now for the version that isn't coated in so much bias that if it was sugar, a diabetic would have a heart attack,"[/color] Guin said pointedly. The people in this room deserved the facts - not just Allison's opinions. Flynn raised a good point as well - especially since Allison hadn't really given him the facts yet. [color=cc33ff]"Allison remembers a world where things are different - where King Erik does not rule the world and humans are not beneath mutants. It seems to be the other way around in her memories. My grandfather and I were able to determine that it looks like her brain is fighting back against her memories being altered, though we couldn't tell what sort of force was responsible for the alteration."[/color] [color=cc33ff]"Under the hypothesis that she is right - then we are in a [i]different[/i] reality than what could be dubbed the normal world. However, that doesn't mean that one reality is [i]correct[/i] - just that one predates the other and has massive differences,"[/color] Guin finished. She could tell that one of the girls in the room was out cold, so it was really just the medic, the other blonde girl, and Flynn here to listen to them. [color=cc33ff]"The only action that we need to take is to figure out how this was done and prevent it from happening again. Allison wants to change things back to match her memories, which would result in the death of Oshea, her fiancé, and probably other people she has neglected to tell us about."[/color][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/jqhnmr2Z/tumblr-pnyez3gb-WK1t2u1bno1-500.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] LeBeau Casino - New Orleans, Louisiana [b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center] Anastasia didn't seem to hear what he had said, which was moderately annoying to Casper - but Ben didn't seem to care at all. Casper ignored his comments often enough that he didn't see much of an issue in someone giving him a taste of his own medicine. Besides, Chrysi a.k.a. Crazy Ginger was a bigger problem that they needed to deal with. Of course, Anastasia a.k.a. Psychopath of the Week seemed to just want to turn capturing the murderer into another training session. Casper wasn't sure how to feel about that, but he did know that she probably would have fit in fine with his father and his friends. [i]"Telling him not to do dumb things never really works,"[/i] Ben told Mary sympathetically. [i]"I've been trying that tactic for years, trust me."[/i] [color=DBA1DE]"Hey, at least I didn't set a warehouse on fire!"[/color] Casper protested. Ben snickered. [i]"I miss Max, damn it... That kid is funny,"[/i] however the smile on Ben's face was a little bit forced. He didn't like how much of Jack's attention Max took up in the real world. Sure, he was dead but that didn't mean his crush on Jack had stopped after he died. Though as Jack entered the room, Ben perked up and stood up a little taller. [color=DBA1DE]"Well, the name of the game, my dear little bro, is knock out the psychopath and tie her up or something,"[/color] Casper proposed. [color=DBA1DE]"Is there a secret jail in this place? We could put her in there. Every group honestly needs a secret jail... even the X-Men have one!"[/color] He then decided to just get this over with, since everyone else here was just standing around talking, and he had discovered a new-ish power anyways. Casper's eyes turned a brighter shade of blue and a blue light surrounded his hands, as Ben [b][i]became visible to everyone[/i][/b]. [color=DBA1DE]"Now, Kraken!"[/color] Casper shouted. [i]"Ugh, I do not like that codename..."[/i] Ben complained. Large, massive tentacles sprouted from his midsection and Ben grabbed Chrysi tightly, slamming her repeatedly against the ground. Sadly, he didn't manage to knock her out just yet, just badly bruising her so far.

Her power had been used in the other world to guide a robot through the Quantum Realm. She could see alternate realities in a rush. Could she use her abilities to give back just one of those realities to Maria? [color=add3ff]"I'm going to try something,"[/color] Novikova said softly. Ordinarily, she probably should have asked for consent before doing this, but she had the idea and she felt a need to test it right then and there. Reaching out, she put a hand on Maria's face, glad she could control the absorption in this world, and Novikova removed her glasses. Instead of seeing the normal rush of alternate worlds and lives... she just saw Maria. Maria's memories of the real world would be restored. [color=add3ff]"...How do you feel?"[/color] Novikova asked, putting her glasses back on. Abercrombie was asking for suggestions as to where to ditch them. Novikova's first instinct was at the bottom of the ocean. [color=add3ff]"We could just leave them here and run,"[/color] she suggested. It would save on fuel for the quinjet if they didn't need to make a pit stop to drop them somewhere. Of course, there was also the option of the Australian outback, but she had a feeling that they would be able to make their way back to civilization quickly anyways. They were Red Guard agents, after all. Inside the Banner home, Runa closed the sling ring portal after her conversation with Klara and Klara's friend. He looked a bit too well dressed to be Human Resistance, but Runa could appreciate the taste in fine clothes. Runa took a breath for a moment, mumbling a prayer to Baldur under her breath. She knew that he wasn't her father in this world, but still, it helped to center her mind for a moment. [color=#a81a75]"Oh, Lance..."[/color] Runa said quietly as he came into the room. [color=yellow]"Hey Runa, was wondering where you had gone... Figured you had gone back in the house..."[/color] She hesitated for a moment as she looked at him. [color=#a81a75]"...Would you still love me if I was a monster?"[/color] She could feel in her bones that things were going to come to light. He would find out what she really was - that she was Asgardian, that those on Asgard dismissed her as no better than Loki - that she was a force of darkness. [color=yellow]"Of course, why wouldn't I?"[/color] he asked, a bit confused now. Runa blinked her eyes slightly, trying not to cry. [color=#a81a75]"It's..."[/color] she started to say, before she shook her head. [color=#a81a75]"I contacted my cousin in the Human Resistance. I can open a portal and get us all to their headquarters safely."[/color] [color=yellow]"Uh, okay... Let's go back outside and tell the others that then,"[/color] he said, nodding his head. She nodded, just looking at him for a moment - as if she might never see him again - before she headed outside. She cleared her throat as she approached the others. [color=#a81a75]"I'm opening a portal to the Human Resistance in New York - your team is allowed to come through to seek refuge from the Red Guard there with us,"[/color] she told Tinley. It took her a few moments, but eventually Runa managed to open up a portal large enough for people to walk through. On the other side, they would be able to see Klara and Max again.
