Pretty sure my reality counterpart is probably trying to kill me at the moment![/i][/color] Pietro responded to Guin mentally, [color=7ea7d8][i]I'll catch up later with the Asgardians in tow probably when I'm not having to deal with another speedster. I also am learning just how annoying things are... Is it really this annoying to fight me and everything? Cause this is a little ridiculous and annoying! Just on a scale of 1 to 10![/i][/color] He whirled up a punch to try and hit his counterpart, however, he whiffed it, and despite his counterpart being slightly slower, he had managed to catch his arm and whirled him around. There was a loud crack as Pietro's arm suddenly was at a very weird angle as he got thrown to the ground. He managed to get back up, and with another loud crack Pietro managed to snap his arm back, but it did look very painful for him, however it healed rather quickly and wasn't visible anymore. [color=FF17F2]"I mean true,"[/color] she commented with a bit of a shrug, before water started swirling around her. She sent a tidal wave directly at Flynn, and he wasn't able to fully avoid it. Klara smirked slightly as the fire on his body to go out entirely, and he was completely drenched now, and knocked down to the ground. [color=FF17F2]"There, feel a bit better now?"[/color] she asked her cousin, before glancing at the other speedster, who had broken free entirely of the ice that Runa had encased his legs in. [i]"Huh, who is hiding there I wonder?"[/i] Quicksilver commented, before he charged right at Pietro, who instantly sidestepped him entirely. [color=7ea7d8]"None of your concern really,"[/color] Pietro responded, before he charged at his counterpart, and the pair was suddenly racing around and punching at each other at super speed. Eventually they stopped, though Runa and Klara would notice a slight problem with this at this point. A pair of speedsters who looked identical just suddenly raced around and had more or less mixed up who was who. They were both wearing nearly identical outfits, with the only difference that was obvious being that one of the pairs shirt was black, while the other was only a slightly lighter color (looked to be a blue of some sort). [color=FF17F2]"Umm... So Runa, you wouldn't by chance have been paying attention to what color the speedster that is from our reality was wearing were you? Or should we just attack both and hope we hit the right one?"[/color] [b][u]Sketchy Hotel[/u][/b] [color=yellow]"Fine whatever, get us all caught or whatever, you honestly have no idea what's going on, and you pretending everything is okay is dumb!"[/color] Lance snapped at her, he was starting to get seriously annoyed with Guin being the bit of a know it all at the moment, he also was annoyed with the fact that she was acting like he was an idiot, for basically pointing out their entire situation in full, since they were kind of stuck at the moment. He had a massive headache, and he more or less walked away from Guin and Annie for a moment, as his brain started racing through a few different things. However, something crossed his mind, and he went over to a lower vent in the wall that wasn't giving off any heat or anything, obviously since the room wasn't exactly warm or anything. Pulling off the vent, he reached in and pulled out a bag that seemed to have more of the same pills that the guy in the lobby had handed to him. The thought did cross his mind as he stood back up fully as to wonder how he knew that it would be there, but he didn't think anything off it, just turning the bag around in his hands with his back to both of them. Though before the arguments could get worse or anything, they all would be able to hear the sound of sirens nearby, sounding like they were coming from farther down the street. However, one thing would be apparent, was that the sirens were starting to get closer. [i]A lot[/i] closer. And there were a lot of them. Soon, they'd be able to see flashing red and blue lights out the window in the room. There was the sound of yelling, and they'd hear doors slamming as people in the various rooms seemed to more or less making a run for it because of the cop cars. They'd be able to see police storming the hotel rather quickly, and it wouldn't be too long before they'd reach their floor and where they were. [color=yellow]"Of course we can't catch a break..."[/color] Lance muttered with an eye roll. [color=yellow]"I'd come up with an idea but since you seem to think you have the best handle on everything and the situation and all, you get to think about what all to do to get us out of this mess, since we went to the hotel right then and there since [i]you[/i] initially said to even when I pointed out from a distance the place looked like crap. So go ahead, come up with some brilliant plan to get us out of this, I'd love to hear it."[/color] [b][u]The Mansion[/u][/b] [color=007236]"It's fine, don't worry,"[/color] Mary said towards Bethany, sort of waving off her concern about her passing out. Rogue looked at the group, before lowering her voice, and she and Wolverine started whispering back and forth, but the group wouldn't be able to hear. [color=a2d39c]"Alright, outside then,"[/color] Wolverine eventually commented, before walking outside, with Rogue right behind him. Once outside, they'd see a car in the overgrown driveway. Though Logan did seem to at the moment sidestep Bethany's question with regards to what was up about Mary. [color=CFFF5C]"Alright, that story ya got there? It's insane. But you're in luck, we're used to all of the crazy, and that ain't the worst thing we've seen or heard. Not to mention, a few of ya do look like you've gone for a swim slightly in your clothes,"[/color] Rogue commented, referring to the fact that Mary and Bethany's clothes were still somewhat damp from landing in the lake despite Ed earlier attempting to get them all dried off with his magic. [color=007236]"I mean, I can definitely agree with that... But um... You didn't exactly answer Bethany's question..."[/color] [color=a2d39c]"That's complicated."[/color] [color=CFFF5C]"Well... I believe ya when ya say you're from another reality... It is the only explanation... Cause, well, our version of you Marygold... Died... Around 7 years ago now. That's why we were a little startled."[/color] [color=007236]"...Wait seriously?"[/color] [color=a2d39c]"Yup. Quicksilver managed to knock you out of a fourth story window. If you had gotten thrown a little farther, you might have lived. But you landed on the front steps directly, and you died within moments from the landing."[/color] Logan added rather bluntly, figuring that he might as well tell them straight about it. Mary instantly started going through her head. She remembered that whole thing, and if she remembered correctly, not too many people at the school actually knew that full story. Though of those who [i]did[/i] know the full story, well, when she was willing to forgive Pietro and allow him on the team, that might have resulted in more then a few arguments, actually she remembered Logan arguing with her about it when she was talking to the Professor and Hank about it. [color=007236]"...I remember that incident. And I do remember crashing through that window and hitting the ground. That hurt a lot by the way, I kind of ended up in an actual hospital and not just the medical area at the mansion for a few months because of the broken bones and everything... Though I did know I was incredibly lucky, a few inches the other way and I was told I probably would have died from the fall..."[/color] Mary explained to the group, mainly explaining the full situation to Bethany and Ed. [color=a2d39c]"Yeah, well here. You didn't survive the fall."[/color] [color=CFFF5C]"Yeah, the mansion and the team and everything sort of just fell apart. The school was going downhill fairly quickly... Before it eventually closed entirely."[/color] [color=a2d39c]"Didn't help that parents found out a kid died from everything that Xavier was having the team do. Most of us more or less stuck around though, we just operate from somewhere else."[/color] [color=CFFF5C]"We knew something was going on here, since Danger sent a message to Scott that something was going on and there were intruders at the mansion... He messaged us since we were closer to go check it out. Which turned out to be you. We honestly didn't expect Danger to still be operating, and when the school closed, we offered to let her come with us, but she chose to stay and guard the school."[/color] [color=007236]"Yeah, I think she's kind of mentally caught in a time loop of sorts or something, since she used her holographic projections to make the interior of the school look like it would with it operational and running."[/color] [color=a2d39c]"Not surprising, she did seem to not be able to accept that the school closed. Plus by herself for 7 years? Anyone would go crazy."[/color] [color=CFFF5C]"Anyway, if ya want to come with us, we can see about gettin' all of this sorted out for ya. Figure out what to do next. I might see about messaging or callin' back to alert them somewhat to expect guests."[/color]
