[b]Skills:[/b] [color=cc33ff]Telepathy[/color] [hr][/center]	To say Guin's nerves were beginning to feel a bit shot was an understatement. Pietro had insisted to her that he was fine, but his actions suggested anything but that. Her hair flew into her face and Guin had to push it back, due to the tornado that he had created - luckily, it didn't hurt anyone. A fall from this height would be more than fatal. Her heart stopped for a moment and her ears started to ring as Pietro promised Novikova that he [i]could[/i] be a murderer. Those weren't the words of the man she loved - those seemed like the words of a [i]monster[/i]. [color=cc33ff]"I know you're staring at me,"[/color] she muttered, her eyes darting over to Carolina. [color=cc33ff]"Look, Pietro doesn't remember the other world. He's dangerous here. So why don't you all shut the hell up and let me fix things?"[/color] 

	Guin then flipped off Cass and Novikova, even the newcomer Sapphire, as she walked over to a corner of the lab by the windows and took a deep breath, placing her index finger to her temple as she focused. She never had telepathy in the real world and while she did have the mental link to Pietro there, it could be difficult to use - especially when it really counted. Softly, she reached out to him. [color=cc33ff][i]Pietro.... Come back please?[/i][/color]

	His reply was quick but crushing: [color=7ea7d8][i]No.[/i][/color] Guin bit her lip slightly, remembering something her Aunt Nat had once told her - when people were out of their mind, you needed to approach them from their worldview. And there was one thing constant about Pietro regardless of the reality, no matter how irritating at times it could be - he always seemed to believe that he needed to protect Guin and that without him, she was in peril. [i][color=cc33ff]I need you, Pietro... [/color][color=7ea7d8] No way, not with that person around! [/color][color=cc33ff]That's my point, Piet - I can't defend myself against her and she's pretty powerful. [/color][color=7ea7d8]...You'll be fine...[/color][/i]

	[color=cc33ff]"Goddamnit,"[/color] Guin cursed. This approach didn't seem to be working, but at the very least he was calmer. She wanted to get him back here before he did something he would regret - or before Wanda would get to him. [i][color=cc33ff]Are you willing to take that chance? [/color][color=7ea7d8]You'll be fine...[/color][color=cc33ff]Wanda's probably going to try to kill me. I'm alone with the girl who tried to hurt you. And you know I never was taught to fight - so odds are, if something happens, I'm the one who dies. [/color][color=7ea7d8]No you won't. [/color][color=cc33ff]I need you Pietro - please, if you love me, come back....[/color][color=7ea7d8]Not right now... I need to clear my head for a bit without someone sitting there trying to mess with it. [/color][color=cc33ff]Where are you Pietro? [/color][color=7ea7d8]Not at the Baxter Building anymore that's for sure. [/color][color=cc33ff]Please come back, Pietro....[/color][color=7ea7d8]Not right now. [/color][color=cc33ff]....Okay....[/color][/i] Guin replied quietly, sounding sad. There was no further response. 

	[color=cc33ff]"Great, he's not coming back - so thank you for all of your help, but you know, I think we've got it covered here so you guys can kiss my ass and then go to hell."[/color]

	Novikova gritted her teeth through the pain. [color=add3ff]"He [i][b]is[/b][/i] a murderer and we're better off without him here. I don't know who you are or what you can do, but I can see everyone's lives - all of them, no matter the timeline - and when I see that much [b][i]death[/i][/b] and [b][i]pain[/i][/b], it's a defining characteristic of his soul. If he hasn't started killing yet, it's only a matter of time - and given the tree that fruit came from, I'd say it's already begun."[/color]

	She managed to get to her feet, her knee badly bruised and already swelling some, but she wasn't about to stay down for long. [color=add3ff]"As for you, [i]Ms. Stark[/i], I've met a lot of assholes in my day - and sure, I'm one myself - but you take the cake. I've never met someone so deluded before that they make Belle from Beauty in the Beast look reasonable and sane for falling in love with her captor. So sit [i]down[/i] while the grown ups talk."[/color] She never liked Guin Stark that much. She had the potential to be an Avenger, but instead she was running around playing damsel in distress with criminals. It was pathetic. [color=add3ff]"As for how we fix everything, we need to get enough people to go take on the Scarlet Witch."[/color]

	Runa couldn't help but be alarmed at all of the fighting and shouting. She wasn't the type to initiate confrontation - unless it was to get revenge against those who had wronged her, of course - so she decided to hang back. There was so much screaming going on that adding her voice to the mixture she felt would just make it worse. Her eyes darted over towards Lance and then towards the others she had come here with, especially Niah, and she wondered if they would be able to soothe the building tension. 

	[color=cc33ff]"Who let the knock off Black Widow in here?"[/color] Guin growled. [hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/i][/b][/h1][img]https://i.postimg.cc/MZf2fx7b/image.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] the LeBeau Casino - New Orleans
[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center]	[color=DBA1DE]"Why wouldn't that be a thing you could do?"[/color] Casper asked his boyfriend, a goofy grin on his face. James' story though about fighting a witch and her trying to chop off his hand made Casper worried though - and on some level, he definitely wanted to go [i]I told you so![/i] to Jack about his witch idea. [color=DBA1DE]"I don't even remember this world, so your guess is as good as mine... Hopefully this me isn't dating Jinx or anything, he makes me look independent."[/color] He still had questions as to why James wasn't in this fairytale life of his, but they could wait for now. His boyfriend was being adorably nervous and Casper gave him a kiss on the cheek - maybe that would reassure him as to how he felt. 

	Ben waved his hand at James, though he wasn't visible. [i]"Yeah, it does suck being dead - thanks for noticing."[/i]

	[color=DBA1DE]"Ben's here - he says he missed you."[/color]

	[i]"Did not!"[/i] Ben chuckled, shaking his head. 

	Max then turned the topic of conversation to one of Casper's least favorite groups - the X-Men. The first letter of their name was an ever present reminder of his father's involvement, inspiring only discomfort in the young mutant. [color=DBA1DE]"Well, my dad is dead here so... At least he can't be a part of this,"[/color] Casper reasoned with a sigh. [color=DBA1DE]"Alright, Ben and I are in. Definitely agree with Jack on avoiding the ginger twins - they're crazy and honestly the sane one isn't worth the trouble of the other one. Oh, and Jack has a cute little girl he kidnapped!"[/color]
