[color=f7941d][b]Outside the Mutant Underground HQ - [/b][/color]

	Avalanche and Toad were unconscious. Pyro was barely holding on, his flames becoming weaker and weaker as he fought to keep the snake wrapped around Kristina. He had been losing way too much lately, he needed a win. Mastermind was sort of yawning as he kept Sapphire inside her mental prison. He would have done the same thing to Echo, but the boy put off a gigantic laser light show and seemed to be freaking out over his injuries. He didn't really need to do anything at all to take care of him. He set his gaze on the young girl, Andy, but failed to get inside of her mind. 

	Mystique decided to take care of Andy. She fired off several bullets at Andy, but Andy was too quick - her reflexes let her dodge every shot. 

	[color=FF5733]"Enough, Mystique,"[/color] Magneto announced, as he emerged with Polaris. [color=FF5733]"Our work is done here. Let them lick their wounds. I doubt they will challenge us again."[/color][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: Entranceway 
[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship[hr][/center]	Magneto swept into the entranceway, quickly observing the scene. His daughter appeared to be unharmed - a sense of relief rippled through him. He had lost too many of his children already. He wouldn't let any danger befall his favorite child. Her ex-boyfriend Havok was unconscious on the ground. One of Charles Xavier's children was here, the drug addled one, along with a young girl Magneto didn't know. His resolve strengthened whenever he saw mutant children. It was for them that he had to fight, that he had to take on the label of supervillain in order to ensure they could grow up safe and protected. 

	[color=A9F8C7]"I'm not dead,"[/color] Polaris told Zarina a bit incredulously. [color=A9F8C7]"My stupid ex-boyfriend fucking kidnapped me and drugged me. And you all fucking helped him do it?? Honestly, no wonder the Mutant Underground can't make any change happen."[/color]

	[color=DBA1DE]"... Huh. You know, you do have a point,"[/color] Casper chimed in. He was holding back from his usual rambles, as he didn't want to mansplain anything. He also couldn't help but feel guilty as well. They would have been so angry if Magneto had done something like that to one of them, they would have stormed his fortress and fought to bring them back. Why was it okay for them to break the rules and be mad if other people did it? [color=DBA1DE]"I can't speak for Havok, but on behalf of the Mutant Underground, I'd like to offer an apology, Miss Polaris - oh, hi babe!"[/color] he perked up, seeing that James had come inside. 

	[color=FF5733]"Are you alright?"[/color] Magneto asked his daughter, his voice somehow both cold and tender. 

	Polaris was ignoring Casper. [color=A9F8C7]"Yeah, I'm fine,"[/color] she grumbled. She then looked at James, as he seemed to be the only competent one here. Casper looked as sane as a bag of cats and the kid apparently couldn't tell the difference between the living and the dead. [color=A9F8C7]"When he wakes up, tell him it's over - for good this time. And if he tries anything like this again, I'll kill him."[/color] She trusted that he would relay the message to Havok. 

	[i]"Jesus... Remind me to never fall in love with someone from Magneto's family,"[/i] Ben whispered to Casper, whistling a bit. 

	Casper gave him a nod. The tension in the room was high, even with Havok unconscious and drooling on the floor. Magneto and Polaris left the entranceway, going back to the surface. Casper didn't make a move to stop them. He didn't see the point in channeling Ben and trying to help Havok keep someone hostage. The entire situation just made him feel dirty - it made him feel like his own father. He shuddered, trying to get that mental barf off of himself.

[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center]	Veil staggered backwards, feeling a piercing pain in her back for a moment. It faded almost instantly and as near as she could tell, nothing had struck her. She frowned slightly, unnerved by the experience. Something seemingly had effected Waverley too, as Waverley was doubled over in pain not too long after breezing through the airwaves looking for signs of trouble. [color=935DB8]"I've got her,"[/color] Veil said instantly. She wasn't about to lose anyone else. Her heart was pounding at the idea that Waverley had contracted M-Pox. 

	Veil only would have herself to blame if that were the case. 

	She picked Waverley up bridal style, struggling slightly with the weight but she didn't make any comments. She carefully and slowly walked over to their car, loading Waverley into the backseat. She buckled Waverley in, not giving her any chance to protest and claim that she didn't need help. [color=935DB8]"Jack, can you ride shotgun? I'll stay in the back with her,"[/color] Veil explained. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/W49hZLVD/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=#DAF7A6]Location:[/color][/b] [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/9/9e/Island_M_from_Powers_of_X_Vol_1_2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200623154223]Island M, the Bermuda Triangle  [/url]
[b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] Survival [hr][/center]	[color=#DAF7A6]"I can't catch a cold, it's impossible,"[/color] Sunshine corrected Max. She was dressed in the [url=https://www.thebudgetbabe.com/uploads/2015/201511/dbn-ellefanningblacksweaterplatforms.jpg]clothes[/url] that Max had given her. She had more or less jammed the hat onto her head, looking out of place in the indie-esque outfit. Well, it was more that she didn't really look [i]right[/i] in clothes that didn't have several layers of grime on them. Sunshine scratched a bit at her arms, feeling uncomfortable with the fabric. It felt freshly laundered - and was that a hint of [i]lavender[/i] scent? She didn't look like a little kid - she actually looked her age, 18 years old, ready for college. She could've been an ordinary person complaining about teaching assistants and their annoying policies, or how hard the chemistry midterm had been, and who was going with who to the engineering formal. 

	Sunshine didn't answer his question about Jack, just sort of shrugging her shoulders. He was weird all of the time. He had traveled back in time and hadn't been careful about not accidentally fathering and then abandoning a kid. His dad was a supervillain. Normal people didn't really do any of those things. She kept a wary eye on Max as they headed towards the palace, making sure that he didn't fall over and die. If he died, her odds of survival went way down. She needed him or she'd be stuck here forever.

	... Wherever here was. 

	It wasn't too long until they reached the ruins. Up close, it became obvious that the place hadn't been built by humans. Every portion of it was constructed from metal, aside from the glass of the windows. There were cameras all over the place, but Sunshine didn't see any indication that they were on. The front doors weren't even locked - she was able to push them open easily. Everything was pitch black, but she could spot the glint of a ruby red helmet and cape. 

	She stiffened, recognizing who they belonged to. [i]Magneto[/i]. This was Magneto's palace. [color=#DAF7A6]"Max... Why the fuck did you take us to Magneto's lair?"[/color] Sunshine whispered tersely.
