	Polaris was quickly becoming irritated with Ana's posturing. Her headpiece prevented Anastasia from shifting her own morals, as it was made from the same metal that comprised her father's helmet. The telekinetic shove was decent, yet her control over magnetism had allowed Polaris to stop herself before she got hurt. For a moment, she just watched as Leighton tried her best to hit Anastasia - and as Anastasia somehow wasn't able to hit Leighton.

	Yet her jaw dropped as she saw the giant CareBear guardian that Max summoned - he really was just as unhinged as her half-sister, with only about half of her control. Polaris couldn't feel an ounce of metal on the thing and she didn't doubt that the CareBear would be able to crush her under its limbs. Besides, the entire room smelled like blueberries now and she [i]hated[/i] blueberries. [color=A9F8C7]"What the fuck? Are you kidding me?"[/color]

	Her father was glaring at Max, seeing him hiding on top of the soft, furry creature. [color=FF5733]"Do you think this is a joke - that we are something to be laughed at?"[/color] he scolded. [color=FF5733]"Do you think it is amusing that every day, thousands of mutant brothers and sisters are murdered... and yet here you are, blessed beyond reason, given the honor of fighting to create a homeland, with powerful gifts over creation... AND YOU WASTE THEM ON A DAMN STUFFED TOY?!"[/color] Magneto screamed. Magnetic rays then [i]exploded[/i] from his hands, hitting the giant CareBear monstrosity and barely missing Max. Max's guardian was on fire from the impact and Magneto used his powers to tear the doors of the training room open, flinging them wildly behind him without any care as he stormed out of the facility. 

	The door was about to hit Leighton and crush her, when Polaris managed to stop it at the last second. 

	[color=11FCBC]"Do you want me to let Emma know you've finished the session?"[/color] Sage asked calmly, as if they hadn't just seen Magneto throw a temper tantrum. [color=11FCBC]"Or if you'd like, I need a small team to go pick up our runaways."[/color]
	
[color=f7941d][b]Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean...[/b][/color]

	[color=3D5DC3]"We're in the Atlantic,"[/color] Sophie mused, looking over maps and radar a little more carefully. [color=3D5DC3]"With Wanda's assist, we're about..."[/color]

	[color=3D5DC3]"Fifty minutes from D.C.,"[/color] Phoebe concluded. [i][color=3D5DC3]"Jinx, we have better food at home,"[/color][/i] she scolded him telepathically, mentally finding him pacing the halls and gorging himself on sandwiches in the kitchen now. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. Humans, in her experience, often failed to understand the importance of fine dining. 

	Wanda was staring out one of the viewing windows contemplatively. The entire submarine was surrounded with her mystical red energies, manipulating the probabilities in order to decrease their travel time. Once they arrived in D.C., she was going to take a plane and head to Wundagore Mountain. To do what needed to be done, she was going to need more strength, more focus and discipline. She was going to win her brother back. [hr][center][img]https://i.postimg.cc/5yqyXQGW/image.png[/img][/center][hr][color=f7941d][b]New Mutant Underground Hideout...[/b][/color]

	[color=7ea7d8]"Don't call me Quicksilver please, since that's kind of what my father still calls me, and it does not bring with it too many happy memories along with it... Call me Pietro,"[/color] he said to her shaking his head slightly as he ate another Twinkie. Almost like he carried a bunch of them around for some weird reason. [color=7ea7d8]"Also, I'm not [i]dating[/i] anyone. I'm going to [i]marry[/i] Guin Stark though, major difference there."[/color] with those words, he raced over to a nearby couch and sat on it, well, more of laid on it and put his feet up on the armrest. [color=7ea7d8]"Yeah he's coming. Partially because he wants to talk to Veil about everything that's going on or whatever here... And to pay his respects to one of the Morlocks that died... Something like that or whatever.... So kid, what's your name?"[/color]

[color=f7941d][b]The Cherry Bomb - Sinister's Lair...[/b][/color]

	Another round of cases here. When you finish your objective, head back to the circular room with the elevator - Blink or Magik will provide transport back to the Underground.
