[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=cc33ff]Guin Stark[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/59ScKz4q/original.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=cc33ff]Location:[/color][/b] The Palace - New York City, New York ([url=http://arrowfashionblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/thearol.jpg]Outfit - Day 2[/url]) [b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy[hr][/center] Guin was shocked that he believed her - he didn't even really question the notion that the world had been changed. Was it because he loved her? Or had she been too hard on Allison earlier with all of the questions and desire for proof? She blinked slightly, not really sure what to say - but then it turned out he didn't believe her entirely. He didn't think that his sister was capable of such a thing. [color=cc33ff][i]"I don't know what her motives were but... I found evidence of a major energy spike occurring yesterday, here in New York. The signature was chaos energy... Wanda's specialty..."[/i][/color] Her mind then darted back to what Allison had said about the other world. [color=cc33ff][i]"If I were to guess why she did it though... It was to make our lives better. In the real world, humanity treats mutants like garbage... Your father is a terrorist, not a king..."[/i][/color] [i][color=7ea7d8]"No, Wanda wouldn't do something like that I'm fairly sure..."[/color][/i] She sighed slightly. This was going to be hard, convincing Pietro of the facts. It wasn't that he was dumb - it was simply that her fiancé operated based on emotions rather than logic. His overprotective nature contributed to the conundrum as well and unless Wanda confessed, Guin doubted that she would be able to convince him. She would have to try. [i][color=cc33ff]"All of the evidence points towards her."[/color][/i] [i][color=7ea7d8]"No, no way, she wouldn't cause this!"[/color][/i] [i][color=cc33ff]"She did, Pietro...."[/color][/i] Guin thought gently. [i][color=7ea7d8]"No."[/color][/i] Maybe she would need to try a different approach here. [i][color=cc33ff]"Okay, then she should have no problem talking to us about this and helping us get to the bottom of things."[/color][/i] If Wanda was guilty, then this psychological ploy most likely would get her to confess. And if she wasn't, who better than a master of chaos magic to help them find the truth? [i][color=7ea7d8]"Maybe..."[/color][/i] [i][color=cc33ff]"I'm going to talk to her."[/color][/i] [i][color=7ea7d8]"...Okay..."[/color][/i] She shut her eyes and concentrated for a moment. There were so many people at the Palace currently for the execution that it took her a few tries to sort through all of their thoughts, but she eventually located Wanda - she was outside. Guin then opened her eyes and she looked at Pietro. She wished that he believed her on this, but she needed to go talk to Wanda about this before Allison and the others could. She felt she should say something to him, but she didn't really know what, so she headed outside to go find Wanda. Pietro had fallen silent and followed after her. [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/HL941TVK/klaus-4-gif-tumblr.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] Thieves Guild Jet -> the Ground - Louisiana [b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center] Things were relatively uneventful on the jet - until the topic of [i]landing[/i] came up. Casper actually looked a bit excited at the prospect of jumping out of a plane. He had seen it in so many movies and he always wondered what it would have been like. By contrast, his brother was visibly terrified. Thinking for a moment, he knew what he had to do. Sure, his main goal was to sabotage this mission but right now his brother needed him. [color=DBA1DE]"Here, Jackie,"[/color] he said, handing him a parachute. He took one for himself. [color=DBA1DE]"Now on the count of three, we're going to jump, okay?"[/color] he paused. [i]"Don't do what I think you're going to..."[/i] Ben muttered, but he knew Casper wouldn't listen to him. Casper never listed to anyone. [color=DBA1DE]"One...Two...,"[/color] Casper counted, before suddenly shoving his brother off of the plane. He knew that Jack wasn't going to jump even on the count of three - his brother was many things and a coward when it came to heights was one of them. Casper then jumped out of the plane as well, trying to grab his brother's hand to calm him but he couldn't quite get a hold of him. He was lucky though - his parachute worked properly and he landed on the ground, feeling exhilarated - and fully expecting his brother to puke. [i]"That was mean, Casper!"[/i] [color=DBA1DE]"You know he wouldn't have jumped otherwise, Ben!"[/color] Casper complained. He glanced around, seeing the others landing, as well as the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility up ahead. He had to wonder how they were going to break into it - hopefully no one would come out and try to kill them. While Casper wanted the mission to be a failure, he didn't want people to die. [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/TwkSVzvy/original.gif[/img][img]https://i.postimg.cc/SKnD0JBK/ezgif-5-b6f055420dec.gif[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] Human Resistance HQ, New York -> [color=#a81a75]The Palace Grounds[/color] [b]Skills:[/b] [color=#a81a75]Eldritch Magic[/color][hr][/center] Runa hesitated for a moment, not expecting Lance to hug her. He knew that her cousin was Thor's daughter, so he knew that she was Asgardian and that she had been lying to him all of this time. She had to assume there was a chance he realized who exactly she was - the myths hadn't been kind to her on Midgard. It made her wish for Klara's minor problem of being noted as a water goddess - at least no one marked her birth as being another step towards Ragnarok, the end of Asgard. No one compared Klara to Fenrir, Hel, or Jörmungandr. [color=#a81a75]"... He has Klara in the Palace dungeons,"[/color] Runa said quietly. [color=yellow]"...It'll be alright Runa, we can go after her..."[/color] [color=#a81a75]"I-I can't let her down... I can't let her die thinking she's the stain on the House of Odin when... when..."[/color] her chin was wobbling and she couldn't finish her thought. [color=yellow]"It's okay Runa... We'll help her, okay?"[/color] She nodded. It made sense to her that he wouldn't have any problems wanting to help Klara - everyone loved Klara. Sure, Klara wasn't anywhere as popular as Runa's father (he was called Baldur the Beautiful for a [i]reason[/i]) but she was universally adored - the daughter of Thor and Lady Sif, future ruler of Asgard. [color=yellow]"...Are you okay?"[/color] [color=#a81a75]"I'm fine,"[/color] Runa sniffled, pulling her sling ring from her pocket. She was far enough away from the main group that she wasn't aware of their plans and even if she had been, she would have done this anyways. Klara couldn't wait. [color=yellow]"It doesn't sound like you are..."[/color] he said softly, giving her a smile. She took a shaky breath and she rubbed her eyes dry on her sleeve. [color=#a81a75]"Maybe I need one of Idunn's apples,"[/color] she mumbled, before she started concentrating on the location she had seen - the Palace dungeons - and she drew a circle in the air in front of her, trying to open up a portal. Instead of getting to the dungeons though, the portal led to the Palace grounds and was fortunately concealed by some trees. Runa walked through without hesitation. Lance glanced back behind him, looking over at the others, before he turned back around and followed Runa through the portal. "So, now what do we do?" [color=#a81a75]"We find my cousin..."[/color][hr] Realizing that they were lopsided towards stealth, Novikova took Maria's hand. [color=add3ff]"If you take on some of my powers, you could probably cause some serious damage,"[/color] Novikova said quietly. Hopefully Maria would absorb her earth and metal manipulating abilities, rather than the multiverse defying eyesight. She didn't have a spare pair of her glasses on her at the moment and it would be awful if one of them had to go around with their eyes closed because of it. However, she then noticed that Lance and Runa took off via sling ring. [color=add3ff]"... Guess we're driving then. I can take a car's worth of people,"[/color] she volunteered. [color=7851A9]"Go, cars are parked in the garage,"[/color] Barton told her, tossing her a set of keys and motioned in the direction of the garage. She nodded and caught them with ease, heading on over and she clicked the key fob to unlock the car, noticing one in the far corner start to flash. Heading on over to it, Novikova got into the driver's seat and buckled up, waiting for her car to fill up with passengers. Hopefully these would be the people intending on causing a scene at the Palace - allowing those wanting to infiltrate stealthily to go on their own and not be associated with them. [color=add3ff]"Ни пу́ха, ни пера́. – К чёрту,"[/color] she muttered underneath her breath in one of her native tongues.
