	Colossus blinked back tears, turning from metal to flesh as he collapsed on the ground. He punched the dirt that he had walked over easily a thousand times, back when these ruins had been his home. He had spent so much time searching for his sister, praying that she was alive - and when he found her, it had been nothing short of a miracle. He had been reunited with Illyana for a little under half a year. And now she was gone again. Her eyes were dull. Her muscles were stiff. [color=B0B4B0]"I... I am sorry, Maximilian,"[/color] Colossus apologized. His heart was weary, grieving for his sister, and he was full of disappointment with Sunshine. [color=B0B4B0]"...Jack. Have word with your daughter."[/color] He needed space and time to grieve. But someone needed to punish Sunshine for what she had done, to teach her that it wasn't okay to mess with other's emotions.

[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b]Invisible Energy Manipulation, Parkour, Invisible Energy Attacks [hr][/center]	[color=FAFD95]"Hey, lighten up, Sapphire! You're no fairy princess yourself!"[/color] Havok complained. He was more than a little bit hurt to hear Sapphire's low opinion of him. He thought the two of them had really become good friends, bonding over their hatred of new people joining the Mutant Underground. He winced as Sapphire impaled Polaris with an ice knife, his mind flashing back to how Sapphire had killed Polaris in the House of M reality. 

	A few feet away from Havok, the ejected Sentinel pilot hit the pavement hard with a sickening [i]crunch[/i]. Blood was splattered all over Alex Summers, making his hair a lovely shade of strawberry blonde. The pilot's ripped parachute lamely covered the body, looking more like an add for OSHA than something that would happen in real life. [color=FAFD95]"Ugh, seriously? There's blood in my mouth...and... hair?!"[/color] He picked off bits of hair from his tongue. The strands were dark brown, ruining any possibility that they could have just been Havok's hair. Veil's flamboyant twin brother knocked Polaris out and Havok ran on over to his girlfriend, scooping her up and carrying her bridal style. 

	[color=935DB8]"It's a sentinel, they're not going to be something we can take down with anything electromagnetic, they made these things to fight mutants,"[/color] Veil explained. [color=935DB8]"Well, one mutant in particular - Magneto."[/color] She didn't say anything about Havok grabbing Polaris, as she expected that. Whether or not they could bring Polaris back to the Underground was a different conversation. Maybe she was being manipulated, although it couldn't have been telepathic - Polaris wore a headpiece that functioned similarly to her father's helmet, protecting her mind from telepaths. 

	She created force field stepping stones, moving higher into the air with each jump. Veil honestly didn't know why she had never tried to use her powers like this before - she loved Parkour and this played into it easily. She sent two force fields at the Sentinel, hoping that her sort of energy manipulation would get through, but there was definitely some sort of force field deflecting it. [color=935DB8]"New plan. Energy manipulations are out. Brute force is in. If we can throw things at it, I think it'll get through."[/color] She made another set of force field stepping stones, hopping until she was on solid ground again. 

	The Sentinel unleashed a huge blast of violet energy, slamming into Veil's force field. If her reflexes hadn't been so fast, it would have killed her. The Sentinel sent another blast at Andy, although Andy would be able to narrowly dodge it thanks to her enhanced reflexes.

[b]Skills:[/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [hr][/center]	Sunshine was ignoring everything going on around her. She had dragged Magik over to the moth eaten couch in the entranceway, cradling her in her arms as she cried. She had never felt an emotion this deep before. When she and her found family had been sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit, she had sobbed and cried, realizing she would never see them again. But this pain was different. She wanted to trade places with Magik, so that way Illyana could live and see another sunrise. 

	[color=E33B19]"Sure, James,"[/color] Negasonic said, her usual snark and sarcasm gone. She went over to Captain Britain's daughter, putting an arm around her and leading her upstairs to medical. An idea was forming in her head. She had heard Casper babbling about a demon appearing when Magik died. [color=E33B19]"Glimpse... I need a favor. I need a way for Colossus and I to go visit Excalibur."[/color] Excalibur was a British superhero team, led by Captain Britain and Psylocke. They were almost exclusively all mutants and tended to be the experts on things that went bump in the night (beyond the Sorcerer Supreme of course). Nightcrawler and Shadowcat were on the roster, as well as a dragon named Lockheed. 
	
	Casper's head was starting to clear, as there was more and more distance put between him and what he had seen. Ben was still incredibly on edge, hovering closer to Casper, as if that could protect him from being dragged to hell or wherever Magik's soul had been taken. [color=DBA1DE]"I feel a lot better, babes, I promise,"[/color] Casper said, sitting down on a bed in medical. [color=DBA1DE]"I don't even think I'm going to puke... And my heart isn't hammering, because You-Know-Who isn't around being horrifying."[/color]

	[i]"I thought Harry Potter was canceled?"[/i] Ben asked. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"No, that was the transphobic moron who wrote it. Every minute she's off in a public signing books, she's depriving some village of their idiot,"[/color] Casper complained. Discussing the fall of JK Rowling was a lot more comfortable than thinking about the horned thing that had dragged Magik away. He shuddered as the images flashed in front of his eyes again. He didn't know if he would be able to sleep ever again. But as long as he could focus on James and how positively cute he was, Casper was safe. He knew James wouldn't let anything happen to him. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"...Babes can I have some Advil? Or Tylenol?"[/color] Casper then whimpered, his headache coming back strong. [color=DBA1DE]"Or a Xanax? Or Adderall?"[/color]
