She was hopeful that the distraction would be large enough to draw out more than just the guards, but some of Magneto's inner circle as well. If not... Well, there was a reason everyone on this mission was ultimately expendable. They would either prevail or they would fall; but Jade was almost certain that either way, very few of them would make it out alive. She had to hope that these X-Men could handle seeing one of their own die and manage to persevere to finish the mission. [color=339933]"Grand. Thank you,"[/color] Jade said, her words clipped as always. 

	Guin knew the rough plan and the groups. She was going with Mary and Cass once Pietro and Thalia had briefly scouted around inside of the base. She'd have to find someone to steal the body of and if she was lucky, her original body wouldn't be brutally murdered in the process. Part of her wanted Pietro to argue and fight to be in the same group as her. If she hadn't already felt so defeated, maybe she would've made that argument as well. But it was probably for the best this way. She didn't imagine he'd be able to bring himself to leave her original body behind, defenseless. 

	Thor, Hulk, and the Thing slip off from the group to go cause their distraction. It wasn't long until Jade heard the loud crash and the sound of violence, signaling that the distraction team was implementing the plan. She didn't doubt that those three would manage to survive whatever came next. They were built to last, for better or for worse. Jade quietly snuck inside of the facility, going through that opening that her and Cass had found earlier. 

	Guin couldn't help but wonder as well who from the distraction team would survive - but she figured it would be Banner. Of those three, he seemed impossible to kill. She doubted the destruction of the entire city would even leave a scratch on him. She hoped that for Lance's sake at least. She knew what it was like to lose a father. Guin followed after the others, making her way quietly and stealthily through that opening, and into the belly of the beast.
