"What's your problem with [i]clones[/i]?" she asked, looking directly at Niah. To those paying attention, something would then click into place - Raynor had mentioned that Wolverine had been on the team back when he ran things, and he hadn't recognized this girl as Wolverine, despite her using the mantle. From her reaction, it wouldn't be hard to guess that she was a female clone of the original Wolverine. Wolverine's eyes narrowed at Niah's comment of her gender being strange. "So what if I'm a [i]girl?[/i]" she then added. She did not like Niah - not one bit. [color=f6989d]"A - a mutant [i]psychic[/i] might be able to help, perhaps by putting up some sort of mental partitions,"[/color] Bonnie said, even as her stomach filled with a strange mixture of fear and hatred at the thought of a mutant messing around with her mind. She knew that those feelings weren't really hers - that they belonged to the Bonnie of this world - but it didn't make them feel any less real. For a brief second, she wished she could hear that strange ethereal voice in her head - surely a goddess would have the power to do what a god (i.e., Raynor) could not. [color=f6989d]"But until we figure out the mechanism that this is happening by, I don't know what can be done..."[/color] Bonnie trailed off, frowning for a moment as she thought. It would have been easier with a whiteboard to write everything down on. Cass hadn't been replaced by her counterpart despite going face to face with her earlier. Amelia and Flynn had been overwritten upon meeting theirs. Everyone in the group except for Sparky and Raynor were experiencing memory bleed and replacement. They were the only two without counterparts, the ones native to this world - the [i]why[/i] had to be that for whatever reason, those not native to this reality were being overwritten. The [i]how[/i] still eluded her; and she didn't know why nothing like this had happened to Raynor and Sparky back on Earth-666. [color=FFB795]"You're not taking us to Genosha,"[/color] Amelia said. "We're staying here, in the Blue." [color=FFB795]"Only bad guys would drag us back against our will,"[/color] "so if you do that, then you're just proving yourself as the villains we thought you were." [color=FFB795]"Plus we aren't nearly dumb enough to go to Genosha with a group of strangers to have someone mess with our heads,"[/color] "Not that we're dumb," [color=FFB795]"Not at all. And if one of us is from another world,"[/color] "it's her," [color=FFB795]"no, it's her!"[/color] [color=d86615]"That one's our Amelia,"[/color] Raynor said, pointing at their Amelia. [color=d86615]"No one change their clothes, please,"[/color] he then added. The more counterparts they ran into, the harder it was going to be to tell people apart. Hopefully the next counterpart they met would look clearly different - like an entirely different person or at least a drastically different haircut or [i]something[/i]. Manifold shrugged - he didn't really care what these people wanted, it all seemed confusing and honestly not something he wanted to worry about. Someone else could sort out what was going on here - he wasn't interested in figuring it out himself. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, speaking to the universe and asking it for a favor - And suddenly, space-time distorted and everyone [i]vanished[/i].[hr][center][h3][color=84B4E2][b]EARTH 257 - 7:10 PM Nov. 14th, 2021 - Genosha[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/815379011852042261/990749831641317426/unknown.png]The Healing Gardens[/url] - Raynor recognized where they were instantly. It was a secluded garden of sorts, with mossy platforms like operating tables dotted around in various locations. He didn't recognize the [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815379011852042261/990750442369728593/unknown.png]woman with dreadlocks[/url] in a blue jumpsuit who stood at what looked like a holographic console, similar to what would be found in Star Wars, but made out of plants rather than metal. Back in his day, the Healing Gardens had been run by Miss Sinister. "Doctor Reyes, do you mind?" Nightcrawler asked, BAMF-ing to appear on a tree branch, his tail curled around it to keep him hanging there. "Our new friends are a bit roughed up." Cecilia raised an eyebrow, seeing a few duplicates in the group. "I'm on it," she said, before looking at Cerebella. "Can you fetch Sage and Prodigy for me? I'll need some extra pairs of hands," she requested. "The rest of you, get them onto tables for me, please." She then instantly went up to Flynn, as he was one of the most visibly injured with his broken legs. "Anyone who isn't wounded needs to leave," Reyes then added. "Now."
