Scientific advancements don't just happen with the snap of your fingers. I'm just saying that Reed Richards is our best shot - he's the smartest man alive, but even he might not be able to do shit."[/color] She had already said why going after the Human Resistance struck her as a dumb idea. Having a larger group was fine, they would just need to go after better quality recruits. Carolina's little snub at Richards though made her chuckle slightly. [color=cc33ff]"Mr. Fantastic? Couldn't think of an edgier insult?"[/color] she teased. She then thought for a moment about what Allison said. [color=cc33ff]"I expect you to have a plan since you remember this other world and I trust you. I don't trust those two,"[/color] she said, motioning towards Carolina and Annie. [color=cc33ff]"And I don't remember that world, so I have no idea what I'm doing. This stuff, hero work? It's all new to me."[/color] But regardless, Allison seemed to be on her side with the entire going to Reed Richards thing and it wasn't long before the two speedsters had whisked the group off to the Baxter Building. Now, when Guin was a little kid, there were two posters in her room that she adored above all over - and when she became a teenager, those pictures helped her to realize her sexuality. The first one was of Hedy Lamarr, the inventor (and actress) who designed a frequency-hopping signal in World War II that would keep Allied torpedoes from being tracked or jammed by the Axis powers. The second one was of Johnny Storm a.k.a. the Human Torch, one of the competitors in the popular [i]Sapien Death Match[/i]. Her father never particularly liked that poster, since the Human Torch was one of his competitors (he fought under the alias Iron Man). And here he was, right in front of her, the epitome of sexual desire himself - Johnny Storm. She was tongue tied for a moment, a deep blush coloring in her cheeks. Sighing slightly, Guin did her best to compose herself. [color=cc33ff]"This'll be interesting..."[/color] [color=7ea7d8]"What is that supposed to mean Guina?"[/color] Pietro asked, raising an eyebrow at her, noticing the fact that she was blushing. [color=cc33ff]"Oh, it's just... You know... Johnny Storm."[/color] [color=7ea7d8]"So? What about him?"[/color] She bit her tongue slightly. [color=cc33ff]"Come on, let's go inside already, we're wasting time!"[/color] [color=7ea7d8]"Why are you changing the subject Guina?"[/color] Guin sighed slightly. [color=cc33ff]"He's hot, okay? He's really, really, really hot."[/color] Pietro frowned slightly at that, falling silent. Guin reached out and took his hand, giving it a squeeze. [i][color=cc33ff]You know I love you and I'm engaged to you, right?[/color] [color=7ea7d8]I know that.[/color] [color=cc33ff]You're hotter than Johnny Storm - he's just a celebrity crush I had as a teenager.[/color][/i] [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] Runa thought for a moment about what Lance had said, before she grabbed his arm before he could walk away too far. She wanted to continue this conversation a little bit more. There was something that she wanted to ask him now, before they went off on this mission that likely would change everything in the universe again and potentially even kill this fairytale of theirs. [color=#a81a75]"What would your happy ending be, Lance?"[/color] she asked him softly. Lance thought for a moment, before he gave her a bit of a smile, [color=yellow]"Truthfully it would be to be back in Australia before all of this happened and before I got my memory back... With you."[/color] Runa blushed deeply, not able to help but smile slightly at that. [color=#a81a75]"Even though it wasn't real?"[/color] [color=yellow]"Yeah... Even then..."[/color] [color=#a81a75]"...I would pick that too, except I would change one thing,"[/color] Runa said, before hesitating. [color=#a81a75]"No, I would change two things."[/color] She would want her family to be near - she missed her mother and father, even her annoying brother Forseti. She missed the way the water looked as it fell off of the edge of Asgard. And of course, she would want it to be real and not just falsified memories created by Wanda Maximoff to placate them all. Meanwhile, Novikova heard Max mention Infinity Stones, asking what anyone in the room knew about them. She knew that there were six of them and that they were incredibly powerful - and that was about it. It wasn't really helpful information at all by any means. Max's phrasing that they would have to give him information about them or that he wouldn't tell them about Strange was... alarming, to say the least. [color=add3ff]"And I thought James was the arse,"[/color] Novikova whispered to Maria. Cass at the least seemed perfectly fine with those demands, giving information that even Novikova didn't remember - an Infinity Stone had been at the heart of the Battle of New York. She nodded at Maria's suggestion of a vacation, but her mind had started to think through what something that powerful could do to help them here. Maybe they could threaten Wanda with it and force her to fix the world? Tinley confirmed their thought experiment - it really was Wanda who had meddled with reality. Apparently the cat was here too - she had to wonder if they could just bribe Goose with catnip to beat up Wanda. [color=add3ff]"Okay, so... Dr. Banner - how did you guys find the Infinity Stone back in 2012, when Loki attacked Earth?"[/color] Novikova asked. She figured they could just duplicate whatever the Avengers did, track down the Reality Stone, and put things right. [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] the Hallway - Baton Rouge [b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center] Even if Max wasn't actually contacting him via telepathy, the entire sensation made Casper's skin crawl. [color=DBA1DE][i]"Yeah, Jackie's fine... He has a kid, claims he didn't kidnap her but I think his story doesn't quite add up... But um... Why would you want me to help you? Unless you want me to tell you what the dead are saying, I'm not much use."[/i][/color] He purposefully didn't mention the trick he realized he could do with Ben at the moment. It wasn't reliable enough and he didn't know if he would be able to use it to save the world. In the sports metaphor of life, he was a cheerleader - everyone else was on the team. Anastasia was actually helping to distract him enough to keep him from freaking out and she had a really good point. The security here was [i]awful[/i]. [color=DBA1DE]"Yeah, I've been in rehabs with better security than this!"[/color] Casper chimed in. [i]"And yet, you still managed to escape from a few of them..."[/i] Ben pointed out. The ghost had his hands in his pockets and looked tired and worn out. Sometimes, Ben would just vanish for a few days. Casper thought of it as him going into hibernation, recharging his spirit batteries so he could withstand Casper's hyper active lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. [color=DBA1DE]"Only the ones that are [i]booooring[/i],"[/color] he emphasized to Ben. Ben just rolled his eyes. [i]"Since when have you not been bored in rehab, Cassie?"[/i] Holding up a finger to Ben, he considered what Jack had told him - Captain America wasn't a superhero here. Could he trust Max with the infinity stone? But then again, reflecting on what had happened Max's first night with the Mutant Underground, that was probably a bad idea. That [i]did[/i] give him another idea though. [color=DBA1DE]"What about that girl you want to bang, Veil or whatever?"[/color] he suggested to Jack. The alarms then started to blare and his first thought was [i]this better be a drill![/i] Then he realized that it wasn't a drill. Those alarms were for the intruders in the building. They were the intruders. [color=DBA1DE]"It's just a drill, nothing to worry about!!"[/color] he shouted, wondering if maybe the bluff would buy them a few extra seconds. He then turned to start to run, only to trip and plant his face on the ground. [color=DBA1DE]"Oww..."[/color]
