So far, only three individuals have "cured" themselves from M-Pox. The first was S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Cassandra Reed. The second was Gabriel Summers A.K.A. Vulcan. The last was the son of Charles Xavier, David Haller A.K.A. Legion.[/hider][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=935DB8]Veil[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/qB2G1nnk/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=935DB8]Location:[/color][/b] Morlock Tunnels
[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Invisible Energy Manipulation, Leadership [hr][/center]	Veil didn't want to have this conversation now. She wanted to get everyone home safely before thinking about the damage and what their options were. She needed time to clear her head and approach this rationally, that way no one would make any rash choices. The Morlock tunnels weren't a guarantee that they were going to get out of this safely - S.H.I.E.L.D. could still easily catch them all and thrown them in the Raft. [color=935DB8]"Right now, I don't think we have much of a choice,"[/color] Veil told Glimpse honestly. [color=935DB8]"You're easily identified. You killed someone in front of S.H.I.E.L.D. Your best chance - and our best chance - is to go separate ways,"[/color] she admitted. 

	She sighed, not liking at all what she had just said, but there was no good way to convey this information. Glimpse was going to be made into a terrorist and put up there with Magneto. She was going to be hunted down. She had killed someone, yes, but it hadn't been just anywhere - it had been blocks from the White House. It wouldn't be hard for people to spin it as an act of aggression against the President. If they caught Glimpse, they wouldn't just lock her up... They'd make an example of her. They'd execute her as a terrorist. [color=935DB8]"I'm sorry, Luna,"[/color] Veil said softly. [color=935DB8]"But you need to run... Start a new life. Go underground. Get as far from the United States as you can."[/color]

	Veil felt her phone buzz in her pocket and she took it out. Her face fell when she read the message. Nothing was going their way lately it seemed. The M-Pox cures had been a small victory. She rubbed her face, trying to avoid the urge to hyperventilate and cry. The X-Men were busy fighting Magneto, she was surprised that they had managed to get into contact with one of them to begin with. They were on their own with this. And if they failed, all of the deaths would be on her conscience. 

	[i][color=935DB8]Copy that. Keep trying them. Q mentioned they were fighting M.[/color][/i] Veil texted back, using shorthand as Quicksilver and Magneto were too long to type out. They had less than ten hours to get the X-Men to either surrender to a maniac or to find this bomb. They had time. Veil breathed in through her nose and out through her mouth. They had time. Ten hours. Ten hours to save Washington D.C. 

	[color=FAFD95]"Veil, what is it?"[/color] Havok asked her, suspicious. He didn't seem particularly happy about Glimpse being told to run. 

	[color=935DB8]"One crisis at a time, Havok,"[/color] Veil said, leading the way forward through the tunnels. 

	Case in point, S.H.I.E.L.D. had [i]definitely[/i] heard all of the yelling and fighting, and currently were going down the ladder as fast as they could to catch up with all of them! Even though Veil had them all invisible, it wouldn't be hard for an agent to shoot them all in such an enclosed space.[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color] & [color=DBA1DE]Casper[/color][/b][/h3][hr][hr][b][color=#DAF7A6]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Underground: Entranceway 
[b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [hr][/center]	Sunshine honestly didn't really care about the ghost she had seen on the trip with Max. Weird things happened with Max all of the time. No, if there was something she was upset about when it came to a soul of the dead, it was what had happened to Magik. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at Casper, wondering if he had even tried to conjure her up. But at the same time, she didn't want Casper messing around with Magik. He'd probably find some way to screw it all up and kill her twice or something. [color=#DAF7A6]"If we're going to ask her to do something, how about she brings Magik back to life?"[/color] Sunshine challenged. [color=#DAF7A6]"I don't care about the ghost in the spooky island. For all I know it was Max's conscience come to life and trying to kill him."[/color]

	Ben nodded encouragingly, assuming that James was going to pull Casper aside so they could talk through some sort of plan to save everyone with. [i]"Atta boy,"[/i] Ben praised, smiling. 

	Casper, meanwhile, read the situation completely differently. Arm around the waist? Check. Invited up to the room? Check. Something else that he forgot but would certainly remember to add to his checklist of things that come before sexy time? [i]Check[/i]. Casper grinned and gave James a slightly sloppy kiss on the cheek. [color=DBA1DE]"Of course, whatever the doctor orders,"[/color] he replied cheekily. He had thought that James would've been too tired for sexy time but Casper wasn't going to protest. He was always up for sexy time. 

	Casper rolled his eyes at his brother though. [color=DBA1DE]"Hey, I'm not the one that had a breakdown and kidnapped someone,"[/color] he pointed out, before sticking his tongue out at Jack. They had always been a pair, just like him and James or him and Ben. He couldn't really remember a time in his life without his little brother being there. And as his big brother, it was Casper's job to annoy him and remind him who was older at all costs. 

	Of course, Sunshine took Jack's comment about family psychosis a little differently. [color=#DAF7A6]"Do you think I'm crazy then? Or will be crazy?"[/color] she asked Jack pointedly. [color=#DAF7A6]"After all, I get what, half my blood from you?"[/color] She'd never taken a science class or anything like that, so she didn't understand how genetics and inheritance worked at all. She didn't even really know what an X-gene was, despite being a mutant. [hr]	Meanwhile, upstairs at the end of the new hallway Max had created, Doctor Strange was looking at Max with an expression that was somehow a perfect mixture of annoyance, impatience, pride, exasperation, and amusement. [color=53A981]"Of all my students, you are the most unconventional, Mr. Grey. Now, please tell me what is so important that I needed to take a short break in the midst of exorcising Chthon out of Wanda Maximoff?"[/color] Doctor Strange asked bluntly. [color=53A981]"And do be quick about it, unless you are eager to live in another false reality, albeit one with more hellfire and brimstone than tea parties and cucumber sandwiches."[/color]
