There was a similar rush from just seeing Wanda get decked by Allison. She wasn't really sure what this other world was like that Allison was talking about, but Wanda's behavior forced Guin to make a choice. She wasn't going to help a villain. Pietro spoke to her via the mental link, evidently refusing to take a stance of his own. [color=cc33ff][i]She's already hurt me. Too late.[/i][/color] Pausing for a moment, she then added a bit more gently: [color=cc33ff][i]You need to decide, Piet. I'm giving you an out if you want one. If you want to go with your sister, I get it - she's family.[/i][/color] [i][color=7ea7d8]Guina, I love you both, but I really don't want to have to choose between the two of you... But if she did change the world, then I think we should change it back to whatever it was before...[/color][/i] Her hands curled into fists as Wanda put Pietro under her control again. [color=cc33ff]"Bitch, if you have to control him then you've already lost him! He's not Pietro anymore, he's a goddamn puppet!"[/color] But her words were useless. The twins were gone and Oshea hadn't moved a muscle to stop them, despite being a speedster himself. [color=cc33ff]"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!"[/color] Guin cursed, kicking at the ground as hard as she could and sending bits of grass flying up into the air. [color=cc33ff]"I'm going to fucking kill her."[/color] Princess Wanda could be killed like any normal person, they would just need a way to shut down her powers. To do that, they would need to get an inhibitor and those were not exactly legal. The lab here wouldn't have all of the components, but they would have the items at Stark Tower for sure. Her nostrils flared slightly and Guin took a deep breath, focusing on the mental connection she had with Pietro. It took her a few tries, but she managed to free his mind from Wanda's influence. There was something fighting against her though. [i][color=cc33ff]Pietro? Get back here![/color][/i] [color=7ea7d8][i]What just happened?[/i][/color] he responded, sounding confused. [color=cc33ff][i]Your sister is controlling your mind. Come back to the Palace now, it's harder to defend you at this distance. [/i][/color] [color=7ea7d8][i]...Uh, okay...[/i][/color] After a few moments, Pietro raced back up next to them. He was still somewhat confused, and wasn't even sure what the hell was going on anymore. [color=7ea7d8]"...So, now what?"[/color] Guin looked at Allison. [color=cc33ff]"Your call, boss lady."[/color][hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=add3ff]Dominika Novikova[/color] and [color=#a81a75]Runa Blake[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/kGLU1JvAL0PyUV1zQH/giphy.gif[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] The Human Resistance HQ - New York [b]Skills:[/b] N/A [hr][/center] Novikova was one of those who had asked for a new outfit, getting a nice kevlar stealth suit. She didn't see much of a reason in wearing anything else - since at least this would present her from being shot and killed. They weren't all bulletproof like Cass was with her dermal armor. [color=add3ff]"Thanks,"[/color] she told Max simply. It was clear that a lot was being taken out of him, with all of the magic he had done that day. He seemed young, so she figured that he was just inexperienced and didn't have the reserves that more seasoned practitioners had. [color=add3ff]"So who would you rather go with - James' team or the other group?"[/color] she asked Maria. She figured she might as well let her girlfriend pick - happy girlfriend, happy life right? James still struck her as at least mildly psychotic, whereas Max seemed to be a bit naive and bumbling. The real dividing line though seemed to be in the locations they would go to - New Orleans and then just here in New York. She didn't know if Maria would have a strong opinion either way, though of course in the end it wouldn't matter too much. The job needed doing, so it would be done. Barton had shot down the plan on invading and attacking SHIELD bases to distract Wanda, so Novikova didn't even give it a second thought. He was the highest rank here so at the end of the day, it was his call what they did. He seemed to think their best shot was to just amass a large force and move directly against Wanda and she trusted him to make the right decision. Runa meanwhile also got a new outfit - [url=https://i.postimg.cc/K83HyFrV/image.png]a gorgeous black blouse with white lace, boots, ripped tights, and a frayed red skirt[/url]. The clothes were certainly different from what she was used to growing up on Asgard, but she really liked the fashion options available here. Most of the edgier outfits back home were just different variations on green and black, similar to what Loki and her cousin Hel would wear. From the conversations going on, the decision seemed to be that they were just going to recruit and then attack Wanda all at once. She bit her lip again, looking at Lance. [color=#a81a75]"When you have a moment, I need to talk to you - alone..."[/color] she requested softly. Max and James were on the New Orleans team, meaning that she was going to be staying here in New York for the recruitment drive. Either location was fine with her - she hadn't really been to New Orleans or New York in her real life and she had spent her fake life here in Norway and then Australia. It would be a new experience, hopefully one she could focus on to take her mind off of the inevitable demise of whatever affection Lance held for her. She took a slight breath, wondering what Klara would say about all of this. Her cousin always seemed to know what to say, especially when it came to matters of the heart.

He felt a slight pressure as she tried to enter his mind and he hoped that she hadn't managed to find or uncover anything interesting in there. He wasn't really sure how her powers worked, since he had no memories of her - she easily could have been a telepath like his father. [color=DBA1DE]"Also, stay out of my brain - [i]please[/i],"[/color] he requested, after Marygold and Jack had apparently managed to smooth things over. [i]"I didn't know you had a brain,"[/i] Ben teased. [color=DBA1DE]"Ben! Rude!"[/color] Casper complained. Bobbi was being incredibly quiet and he wasn't sure whether to be concerned about that. She was probably just processing everything, since she apparently had just remembered the real world, and maybe her life was vastly different between the two realities. Maybe she turned out to be the mother of the little girl Jack was claiming was his daughter. Casper had to wonder for a moment what would happen to Lexi if they changed the world back to normal - would that kill her? Would she be erased from existence? He then went out into the hallway, not really seeing anyone else out there. That worked for them - the sooner they got out of this place, the better. Of course, he wasn't [i]that stupid[/i]. Only someone who had lied about finding the crone would just agree to leave the facility empty handed without trying too much. [color=DBA1DE]"Okay, so where should we look next?"[/color] Casper asked. He didn't know if they were just bailing on the mission entirely.
