	Colossus looked at Spark Plug, opening his mouth to recite some words of wisdom worthy of Uncle Iroh, but words failed him. A strangled cry or sob was all that came out. It sounded like the dying scream of a goose. He generally was compassionate yet stoic, feeling deeply for others yet keeping those emotions under control. The death of his sister was like a wrecking ball, Colossus' skin constantly shifting back and forth between flesh and organic steel as he collapsed to the ground, his face contorted as he cried uncontrollably.

[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Leadership, Perception [hr][/center]	[color=FAFD95]"I didn't know there would be people guts flying!"[/color] Havok snapped back at Sapphire. Polaris hadn't woken up yet which was likely for the best, as she clearly did not want to see Sapphire breathing. He didn't know how things would work out later on when Polaris woke up at the Mutant Underground, but she had been a fighter for freedom and equality for mutants. He assumed that whatever she was doing with the Hellfire Club was just temporary insanity. 

	Havok didn't really like the newer members of the Mutant Underground any more than Sapphire did, but he wasn't in a position to turn his nose on up. He carried his unconscious girlfriend on over to the car, stepping over Pyro in the process - well, more of stepping on Pyro's face on purpose - before Havok got into the back, buckling Polaris in first before doing himself. [color=FAFD95]"I dare anyone to have a problem with this."[/color]

	Veil felt like she was about to have one of her veins burst from stress. They had narrowly survived a sentinel attack, Moonwalker had died during the purifier attack, and now people were screaming at each other. She was sadly starting to expect screaming from Sapphire. Part of her wanted to tell Echo that it wasn't his place to discipline Sapphire or that everyone was just lashing out after Moonwalker's death. Maybe they needed to do some team building exercises - like trust falls.  

	Sapphire rushed off to handle some business and fortunately, Veil's natural perceptive abilities - plus the fact that she had been the one leading this mission - helped her to piece it out. [color=935DB8]"Sapphire's getting what we need from Dr. Watts,"[/color] she explained quickly for the others. [color=935DB8]"He could be the answer to curing M-Pox... to making Moonwalker's death not be in vein."[/color] If they came here and left empty handed, Moonwalker's sacrifice would have been for nothing. They couldn't allow that to happen. [color=935DB8]"Have the van running and everyone who's coming get in - as soon as Sapphire is done, we high tail it back to HQ."[/color]

	She then got into the car, taking the shotgun seat next to her twin brother. The fire hydrants were continuing to pump water out, creating a small little flood in the road. It was winter in DC so odds were the water would be frozen if it wasn't cleared away by the next morning, making a nice road hazard for the morning rush to George Washington University the next morning. Pyro was currently covered in water, although he was face up so he wasn't in any danger of drowning. 

	Veil reached into her pocket and pulled out a small bottle of extra strength Advil, popping one of the pills. [color=935DB8]"Does anyone else want one?"[/color] she asked.[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/b][/h3] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/KvRwSCJZ/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Underground: Medical
[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship [hr][/center]	[color=E33B19]"Magik's... It wasn't natural, clearly. That's Excalibur's thing,"[/color] Negasonic told Glimpse bluntly. She was keeping eye contact for once, not typing away furiously on her phone or scrolling through Tumblr. [color=E33B19]"So are you going to help me or not, Princess Fancypants?"[/color] She breathed in a little hard through her nostrils, some tears in her eyes that Negasonic was forcing to hold back. It was a gamble but maybe they could bring Magik back. 

	Casper accepted the small cup of water and the medicine from James. He swallowed the pills dry and took the cup of water, pouring it down on his forehead. While he was feeling a lot better, he also felt a bit feverish or perhaps just overheated, so the water helped him to cool down. [color=DBA1DE]"There, I showered, babes - if you want me to take a longer one, I'm going to need a buddy to help,"[/color] he proposed with a smile. He preferred to take baths to showers, mostly since he [i]LOVED[/i] bubble bath - especially if rubber duckies were available. [color=DBA1DE]"And the toothbrush - is that for my teeth or for something else?"[/color]

	[i]"Are you up for me talking to James?"[/i] Ben asked Casper. He didn't really know if there was much of a point in answering James, having Casper butcher the delivery of it, and then seeing James' confusion. If he couldn't talk to James himself, there wasn't much of a point in trying at all. He [i]did[/i] want to talk to someone that wasn't Casper about what he had seen at least. Casper wasn't the best at calming people down. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"I feel greeeeeat,"[/color] Casper said. [color=DBA1DE]"And I just popped a pill, so let's do this! Abracadabra!"[/color] He wiggled his fingers like he was casting a spell, but nothing happened. Casper's eyes didn't glow blue. His hands didn't have a soft blue aura. [color=DBA1DE]"Sorry Ben, lemme try that again. Maybe... Shazam!"[/color] Casper clapped his hands together. His eyes crossed and he hit the ground hard in a dead faint. 

	[i]"... That honestly went better than I expected."[/i]
