	[color=d86615]"I wouldn't die on you twice, babe,"[/color] Raynor joked, trying to cut the slight tension. He had known Sparky would say this, but he had to try anyways. Truthfully, one or both of them should have retired from SHIELD the minute that baby Zarina came into being. He hated the idea that she was alone with no one to protect her - sure, baby Zari was with her Auntie Novikova and the West Coast Avengers, but that didn't matter. Raynor wanted to be there to protect his child. Zari and Sparky were the only people in the world who mattered. It was just the three of them - no more, no less. 

	Amelia snorted at Oliver's suggestion for a code word - [i]skrull[/i]. [color=FFB795]"Love it. Probably too soon, but whatever, it's iconic and def what we should use,"[/color] Amelia agreed. The entire skrull invasion had been less violent in the end than it could have been - sure, Maria killed the Empress, but who doesn't do that by accident? Everyone's been there - right? And Raynor hadn't actually been dead, he had just been off playing Sleeping Beauty in Asgard. 

	Bonnie rolled her eyes slightly. [color=f6989d]"Fine. Skrull it is."[/color] It was too bad that they didn't have a telepath in the group - once again, she felt the loss of Tinley and it pained her. She missed her friend. Not just because Tinley could've been immensely helpful in quickly identifying who was who, but also just because of how tragic her death had been. Tinley should've been there with all of them. Her stomach churned slightly - probably from the baby. [color=f6989d]"Let's roll out, then."[/color]
[hr][center][color=84B4E2]One request to the universe to distort later from Manifold...[/color][hr][h3][color=84B4E2][b]EARTH 257 - 6:10 AM Nov. 15th, 2021 - London, England[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][b][url=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iUsRBlyxN-E/maxresdefault.jpg]Jubilee Park and Garden[/url][/b] -

	Manifold dropped the group off in the middle of a public park, and handed Bonnie what looked like an ordinary phone, explaining that it could be used in an emergency to contact Genosha if they needed help. He then wished them luck, before disappearing as he asked the universe to fold space-time, returning himself back to Genosha. 

	For the Brits, they would recognize that they were in Jubilee Park. It looked pretty much as it did on Earth-666, their home - gorgeous rolling green grass, beautiful gardens, and the London Eye - a giant ferris wheel - just steps away. There were gigantic bits of wooden playground equipment, crawling with children monitored by adults sitting down on benches, watching. A few people turned to stare at the Secret Warriors, as they were dressed in loaned superhero style garb from Genosha, making them stand out - that and the fact that they had just appeared from nowhere. 

	The streetlights and whatnot throughout the park had banners hung on them, most resembling the flag - but others depicting [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/815379011852042261/1027790839784689684/unknown.png]Queen Elizabeth III[/url]. Those with memories of Earth-257 would recall that Queen Elizabeth III, or Queen Betsy as the common folk called her, was actually half fairy - the United Kingdom had a strong connection to the fae in this world. 

	[color=FFB795]"Huh... She looks familiar, like I could've sworn I've seen a pic of her before in the world we came from,"[/color] Amelia said, tilting her head at the picture. [color=FFB795]"Course she's bloody Queen Betsy here, but I'm pretty sure the other world just has an old bitty with some corgis in charge. Definitely not with purple hair."[/color] Of course, Amelia's confusion was understandable - in Earth-666, Betsy Braddock had swapped bodies with a Hand assassin named Kwannon, meaning rather than looking like a white British girl, she appeared Asian. 

	[color=f6989d]"We need to focus - remember, Luminous and Doom were here not too long ago. If they've already run, someone should have seen them, maybe they'll have an idea as to where they are going,"[/color] Bonnie suggested. She didn't pay Queen Betsy any mind. She didn't care about who the monarchy was in this world, unless that was going to somehow help them figure things out. 

	Bonnie didn't immediately notice Doom and Luminous - it was so crowded, they were difficult to spot without their costumes. But after focusing her mind, scanning her eyes rapidly over the crowd, Bonnie saw them. They were at the very base of the London eye now, not too far away from the queue that had formed to get on, and they were still arguing. [color=f6989d]"There,"[/color] Bonnie said, getting everyone's attention. [color=f6989d]"Oliver, you've got Luminous."[/color] 
	 
	Raynor could've waited for instructions.

	Instead, he put his hands in his pockets and started nonchalantly walking over there. He was dressed in a black leather jumpsuit, hardly the most incognito of garb, but somehow, Luminous and Doom didn't notice him. He managed to get all the way into the queue, just about ten feet away from the two of them, enough that he could overhear their argument. Thankfully, he spoke the All-Tongue, meaning that he could instantly translate from Latverian - 

	[i]{{"There is something in my [i]head[/i], Victor - we should abandon the Nexus and leave, while we still can!"}}[/i] Luminous urged. 

	[i]{{"Nonsense. We've come this far, you can abandon this quest if you want, but not Doom,"}} [/i]Victor scolded. 

	[i]{{"This is madness,"}}[/i] Luminous said, glaring at her companion. [i]{{"What if we are erased - what happens to your newfound power then, hmm? The abilities of a god but trapped inside the mind of a helpless, confused buffoon."}}[/i]
