She could see her breath in front of her face and she shivered, holding her arms. It was the middle of December in Washington D.C., so the chill was far from abnormal - but she had thought that the princess and James had set up some heating systems for them. Maybe they had failed. She wouldn't have been surprised if the princess' stuff wasn't up to par. Sunshine shot a dirty look at Glimpse. She probably ruined James' design or something. [color=#DAF7A6]"Why do rich people always have to call themselves royalty in their mutant names?"[/color] Sunshine grumbled. She wasn't thrilled at the idea of seeing Leighton. Veil sighed. She didn't have a personal connection to Jinx, yet she still felt a bit responsible for Leighton. [color=935DB8]"Yeah, sounds like it. The first message gave an apartment complex. With them moving to Macy's, they're either trying to abduct this person, kill them, or recruit them... I'm not happy with any of those options."[/color] The information with Casper and Magneto didn't concern her as much as it perhaps should have. Magneto was a member of the Hellfire Club. Casper hadn't come and found her yet to explain what he had seen. Sage, at least, was giving them concrete facts. She fell silent, hearing what Sapphire had said. Of course, no one but Veil could see Sapphire right now. Sapphire hadn't asked her to remove the invisibility that was giving her privacy. [color=935DB8]"... Casper apparently experienced that too,"[/color] she murmured. [color=935DB8]"I believe you, Sapphire. And I know this is horrible timing, but we need to leave to help save someone from the Hellfire Club. If you want to stay here, I get it. We'll talk about this more on the way if you'd like... Is it okay if I make you visible?"[/color] Sunshine shivered as the chill intensified even more. It took her a moment to realize what was going on. She couldn't see Sapphire, but she had heard her scream something about murdering Havok's girlfriend. Her mind couldn't piece much else of it together though, as Sapphire had been so quiet and she had been busy thinking about whether or not she'd get the chance to smack Max over the head too at Macy's. [color=#DAF7A6]"Could we stop by the Food Court after we kill Leighton?"[/color] Sunshine asked. Her stomach growled. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/vDFx7Ctg/image.gif[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Underground Hideout - the Second Floor Hallway [b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center] [color=DBA1DE]"Maybe Fred crawled on out here to try to comfort Jackie in his time of need. Separated from his child, it's a tragedy,"[/color] Casper suggested. He hadn't seen the rat there a few seconds ago, but he also wasn't the most observant of people. It did amuse him to see Waverley hold the dead rat by the tail, knowing that the rotting carcass of Fred was in her bedroom constantly. You would have thought she'd be used to it by now. [color=DBA1DE]"Wait, Veil wants to talk to me?"[/color] Casper asked Moonwalker, confused. [color=DBA1DE]"Are you sure I couldn't interest her in a conversation with someone more... essential?"[/color] he asked. There were tons of people at the Mutant Underground with way more helpful abilities. Besides, he wanted to stay and help his baby brother right now. Alexis was missing! James then revealed that Max had been the one to send the rat. He was pretty sure that was a threat then. [color=DBA1DE]"So... Right when Veil is sending us on a thingy with the Hellfire Club, Hellion Numero Uno (that's Spanish for that dumb bitch Max) decides to send us a dead rat that isn't even named Fred... I think he's threatening us and Ben agrees."[/color] [i]"Hey! I do, but at least ask first,"[/i] Ben sulked. He then sighed, seeing that Jack had made up his mind to prioritize dealing with the Hellfire Club over finding his kid. [color=DBA1DE]"I'm just... I'm worried about my brother, babe. Believe it or not, I'm probably the sane one of my siblings,"[/color] he admitted to James, planting a worried kiss on his boyfriend's forehead. [i]"Yeah, that's not right,"[/i] Ben commented.
