Her brother wasn't usually this ill tempered. He was a judge, dedicated to ensuring justice and fairness whenever possible - not a fighter. [color=#a81a75]"Brother, please, be at peace,"[/color] she urged him. [color=#a81a75]"I see the value in Midgardians that I do in any sentient race - we may be gods, but they bleed and feel just as we do."[/color] Her words rang with truth. She knew there were those on Asgard who thought they were better than other beings by virtue of their godhood, believing in supremacist notions. Yet as far as Runa was concerned, the main difference between them and the Midgardians was lifespan, and even then, Asgardians would still die one day. They were not truly immortal. She then turned to Marygold, knowing that she had to stop the fighting on this end. [color=#a81a75]"Marygold, I understand you are defending the honor of Midgard, but there is no need. My brother was merely mistaken."[/color] Her eyes then flashed to Forseti, giving him a silent warning. She still had every intention on helping him get out of this mess, but she didn't want to have him belittle her friends in the process. The people of Midgard had treated her with far more kindness than those on Asgard had. Even those she loved on Asgard did little more than just stand by and watch the way she was cruelly treated by the other Asgardians.

Why'd you throw a rock at me? I don't show up and throw rocks at your astral form!"[/color][/i][/b]] Guin complained, more than a little bit annoyed. It hadn't hurt or anything, but it definitely had felt weird - as if a gust of wind in the shape of a rock had hit her in the stomach. She made a mental note to change all of Bethany's passwords as soon as they got back to Earth. That would make them even. She then had one of the most bizarre experiences of her life, as she watched Edus place his hands over her. She wasn't able to focus too much on it, though, as Pietro's words were buzzing into her head rapidly. [i][color=cc33ff]If I knew, I would have said![/color][/i] Guin protested. She had no idea how this had happened to her. It was probably some magic bullshit. She hated magic. Unlike science and engineering, she couldn't figure out magic from logical principles - it was like the universe had decided to just let some people selectively achieve glitches. Even the rituals didn't make sense - why would mumbling some sentence in Latin cause things to happen? What if Latin had never been invented? Would another language trigger the magic or would it just never happen? [color=cc33ff][b][i]"If this didn't work, I'm giving you a bad review on Yelp,"[/i][/b][/color] Guin warned Edus, before walking back into her body. To her relief, she opened her eyes and she could see - she could hear, all of her senses had been restored to her. [color=cc33ff]"Thank god, that fucking sucked."[/color] It hadn't lasted very long, but in Guin's opinion, it had already been long enough. Before she could make more quips though, a green light flashed and the next thing she knew, they were standing in some sort of meadow with Runa, Mary, and... some dude? Guin did a quick mental scan, figuring she might as well put her telepathy to good use, and she made a face as if she had smelled something rotten. She then opened up a mental group chat with her other X-Men members, connecting all of their minds together so they could talk freely: [i][color=cc33ff]"Gross, that guy I think is Runa's brother and his mind is messed up. Like he's giving me Anakin Skywalker about to kill the younglings vibes."[/color][/i] [color=#a81a75]"Forseti, these are the rest of my companions. Friends, this is my brother, Forseti, God of Justice and Retribution,"[/color] Runa introduced. [color=#a81a75]"Are you all alright?"[/color] she asked.
