[color=6750A9]"His daughter's been missing. I don't imagine S.H.I.E.L.D. would know anything about that?"[/color] she asked, motioning for them to follow her into the academy. The gigantic school looked to at least be a few centuries old, a testimony to the long history of the Braddock Family. They were the British equivalent of the Starks - rich, powerful, and ever present. She lead them down a series of hallways and staircases, until she pulled a book from a shelf and the bookcase slid aside to reveal a hidden wing. Down the hallway, voices carried, likely belonging to the members of Excalibur - [i][color=6B576F]"Katya, stop tickling me!!!"[/color][/i] a teenage girl shrieked with a soft Russian accent. Psylocke led them straight ahead from this point into what appeared to be a massive study, the sort that the professor in Narnia would own. Medieval relics covered the room and in the center was a gigantic pool of water, its surface so clear it was essentially a mirror.

She had been working with Cass longer than most of them had been a part of S.H.I.E.L.D., including their time spent at the academy. She looked in the rearview mirror as Kwassi started talking about Marie Curie. At first, Bonnie was a little bit excited to hear someone discussing one of the greatest female scientists to ever live - but then, she realized something. It seemed like Kwassi was just bringing up Curie in order to win her favor. She frowned ever so slightly. [color=f6989d]"What's your opinion on Esther Lederberg?"[/color] Bonnie asked him, her tone calm and even. It was currently rush hour in New York City, meaning the traffic had come to a grinding halt. They were lucky that the issue wasn't compounded by supervillains fighting with heroes in the sky. The most activity that happened while they were crawling along at a snail's pace was that Spider-Man swung on by, a girl held securely in his arms, but they were moving too fast to really make out any of her features. By the time they pulled up outside of the address in Queens, thirty minutes had elapsed in the car - a mercy, as it easily could have been much, [i]much[/i] longer. A billboard across the street was advertising a concert being played at Madison Square Garden that evening by Dazzler. Selena Gomez was opening for her.

Maybe Agent Sitwell was tied up with something of his own, the message hadn't gone through, or was the cell signal in Levittown just really poor? Had HYDRA set off an EMP without anyone noticing? There had to be a rational, logical explanation for why Sitwell just hadn't answered Astrad at such a crucial moment... right? [color=FFB795]"Right, let's get cracking then. One of you is going to have to carry him, we can't leave him here, he'll get killed,"[/color] Amelia argued. She didn't care if Sparky was in a bad mood, either she or Maria would have to deal with holding Astrad. She privately hoped that Sparky would be the one to decide to carry him, as Maria had a habit of trying to get people to plummet out of the sky. Amelia took a breath and she ran in circles, her glider perpendicular with the ground, as she built up momentum and then pushed the air towards the HYDRA goons. They fell down like dominoes, but it was just a temporary tactic, they'd be up on their feet in no time. She had to trust that Maria or Sparky would make sure Astrad was okay. Amelia took a breath and then went at a bit of a run, launching herself into the air as her glider caught the currents moving around her and lifted her up higher, higher, and higher, until Levittown seemed so incredibly small.
