[b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy[hr][/center]	[color=cc33ff]"Pro tip - maybe [i]don't[/i] start accusing the Queen of things when she's in the room and in a coma. Some studies show that coma patients can actually hear what's going on around them,"[/color] Guin warned a bit sarcastically. Thinking through trains of thought like these in the Palace wasn't the best idea in general of course. Sure, she was the only telepath really present here, but she wouldn't be surprised if King Erik had a telepath or two on retainer - meaning that even just thinking along these lines could be dangerous. Allison didn't know what King Erik did to those he found guilty of [i]maiestas[/i] - treason. This blonde girl - Annie - she should know better. Executions for treason happened just about once a week, if not more frequently. She didn't want to end up being this week's execution, especially as King Erik usually had his sons perform them. Having Pietro rip out her heart... She didn't want to think about that. 

	Allison had ignored her suggestion - [i]typical[/i]. It [i]certainly[/i] wasn't like pinpointing the massive energy spike would both support Allison's claim and get them a geographic point of reference for where this event happened, allowing them to gather a list of suspects. Nope, nothing like that at all. The other blonde, the one caring for the Queen, then also decided to risk being overheard for treason. Discussing alternate realities wouldn't get them executed - but suggesting that the King had done something malevolent to get the throne? That very well could. Concentrating for a moment, she used her telepathy and constructed psionic shields in the minds of those present. It would keep telepaths from eavesdropping on their thoughts at least, helping reduce the chances of someone finding out these accusations. She couldn't help the verbal conversation, but hey, that was on them. 

	[color=cc33ff]"I just placed psionic shields in your minds. It'll keep telepaths from hearing your thoughts on all of this. However, try not to be stupid and don't discuss this in public places,"[/color] she cautioned. She then glanced at her future brother in law. [color=cc33ff]"You guys can go investigate. I work better alone with some AC/DC blasting."[/color][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/vZ7cMTZM/311a528b5c30126d39685f320d18ed56.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] LeBeau Casino - New Orleans, Louisiana 
[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center]	Casper's favorite color was pink, so he had no problem with the fluffy earmuffs. In fact, he liked them. He had tried using earmuffs and music to block out the ghosts before, but it only really got rid of the sound. The Ginger's voice was muffled by them, but he could still hear her talking. Her apology didn't really strike him as sincere so he more or less waved it off with his hand. People didn't really mean they were sorry when there was a [i]just[/i] in that sentence. Captain Hammer at least was being nice to him, trying her best to calm him down. He wished they were friends in the real world - she looked like someone he could party with. Of course, there was also a good chance she might sleep with his brother, but that was true of most of Casper's friends. 	

	His brother came over and asked if he was okay. [color=DBA1DE]"Oh I'm great, sunshine,"[/color] he told his brother with a slight smile. He could still see the ghosts everywhere, but the noises had quieted down to a dull roar from the earmuffs. Ben was staying silent, most likely to not contribute to the sensory overload Casper had been experiencing. He took a few deep breaths, finally paying a bit of attention to what was going on. It seemed that Gambit had chickened out of killing the psychopath - and Casper was disappointed, since he was pretty sure it just meant the crazy girl would try to kill them all later. At least as a ghost, he could get rid of her with some cocaine. 

	Oh, he missed cocaine... [color=DBA1DE]"Where's, uh, where's your kidnapping victim?"[/color] he asked his brother, trying to turn the conversation away from him.  [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=add3ff]Dominika Novikova[/color] and [color=#a81a75]Runa Blake[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/zD9vYCWp/ezgif-4-a451212acd95.gif[/img][img]https://i.postimg.cc/bv8qNLNH/tumblr-p0vn0qj3h-H1qalttgo4-r1-400.gif[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] [color=#a81a75]Outside the Quinjet - Sydney, Australia[/color] / [color=add3ff]Human Resistance HQ - New York[/color]
[b]Skills:[/b] [color=#a81a75]Eldritch Magic[/color], [color=add3ff]Dimensional Energy Perception[/color][hr][/center]	Novikova disarmed as well, though she kept her glasses on. She didn't want to see all of the alternate lives of these people. As cool a power as dimensional energy perception was, it could give her horrible migraines if she used it too often. Barton was there and she smiled slightly, seeing almost the entire team come back together. They were missing a few people though - Tempest, Bonnie, Raynor, Harry, Flynn, Roman. Sure, they had Sparky with them but she was a teenage boy here, so it was a little bit confusing. They had some extra additions and while she didn't really know Shelly, she seemed to want to help - though Novikova was suspicious as to her motives.

	Runa stared for a moment, incredulous as well that they were just letting James walk off - well, with the exception of one of the agents. She was used to having a lot more magical ability than she did in this world, so she decided to push herself and try something. With one hand, she kept the portal open and with the other, she tried to do a full body bind on James. Instead, she managed to just make it so he couldn't move his legs at the moment. Abercrombie, the one gifted with mind control, didn't seem to have affected the memories of those they were leaving behind and she bit her lip slightly, her entire body trembling as she tried to keep the portal up. Sweat was flowing down her forehead and she was getting extremely irritated with everyone waiting around and not going through. It felt like it had been an hour she had had this portal open for. 

	[color=#a81a75]"Everyone who is going through the portal - do it NOW!"[/color] Runa snapped, raising her voice. She was feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Every beat of her heart felt like it was a gigantic vibration sweeping through her body. The cool air flowing in through the portal helped slightly, but it couldn't do too much to alleviate her fatigue. [color=#a81a75]"I'm using Eldritch Magic. And no, you cannot have my sling ring to take over,"[/color] she told the man on the other side of the portal. The sling ring was her escape route and she didn't want to be without it for a second. She nodded a bit though at her cousin - she trusted her. 

	[color=add3ff]"It'll be easier if I just show you the alternate reality,"[/color] Novikova conceded to Klara. She glanced at Lance. He had the same soul as her best friend - and he seemed so lost and confused. Maybe, if he remembered, things would be better... She took off her glasses and touched his arm, looking into his eyes. Within a few moments, she had restored his memories and she put his glasses back on. [color=add3ff]"How do you feel, Lance?"[/color] she asked him, not sure if he would remember being Sparky or if something even stranger was going on there... She knew that Sparky and Lance both existed in their normal reality, so the most likely answer was that somehow, one of them had come from a different universe. She just wasn't sure which one. 

	Novikova glanced over at Dr. Banner. Sparky didn't know that was her father - she was horrible at keeping secrets. Sparky would have mentioned it to her at some point that she was adopted and her real father was a raging green monster, right?
