[b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center]	Guin was [i]really[/i] hoping that evil Annie would just stand down and be nice and full unconscious, but luck didn't seem to be on her side. Annie swept her leg and Guin fell to the ground, no doubt bruising her ass somewhat in the process. She rolled from side to side as Mystery tried to punch her in the face, the punches narrowly missing and connecting with the ground instead. [color=cc33ff]"You're actually insane. Like clinically. Have you considered medication? Or psychiatric help?"[/color] Guin asked. 

	She got up to her feet, aching all over, and swung a punch, hitting Mystery in the face. Guin swung again, this time specifically getting Mystery in the eye, and Guin knew from experience that Mystery would end up with a black eye from that blow. Two more blows landed, one just bruising, and the other definitely breaking whatever cartilage was left holding together of Mystery's nose. Her own head wound was still bleeding, but Guin didn't feel light headed, thankfully. She was just tired and annoyed and was hoping that when she finished Mystery, everyone would have magically taken care of the rest of these Brotherhood assholes...[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=cc33ff]Lavender Haze[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://2paragraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/BEST-WILLA-620x375.jpg[/img][hr][b][color=cc33ff]Location:[/color][/b] Woods (Mary's group)
[b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy [hr][hr][/center]	Haze raised an eyebrow, noticing that the ginger was seemingly struggle with fulfilling the commands she had given. She really wished that this was all over and done with already. While she wasn't invested in this fight, Haze did care about securing the artifact. And she didn't like all of the time they were wasting here with these people, if they came back to Magneto empty handed... Haze tried not to think about that, as she used her gift to reinforce the hold she had on Mary's mind, and she judged that she had been successful. 

	She then turned her head in the direction of the roar, looking pale. "... They brought a Hulk..." she murmured. 	[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#a81a75]Runa Baldurdattir[/color]

[b][color=#a81a75]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center]	Runa might have been physically sparring with Klara, but verbally she had her sights on Mage. She believed she could sense the conflict within him, and that if given sufficient motivation, he might be made an ally. [color=#a81a75]"If your family dies with you, Edus, then why let your family's death be in desecration of their beliefs? You would not only kill your family legacy physically, but spiritually as well. Flesh can be healed, the dead raised, but the metaphysical? That's a trickier thing altogether,"[/color] Runa warned. Runa was a strong believer in resurrection and reincarnation - death was simply part of a natural life cycle, whether taken from the perspective of the Phoenix and its rebirth, or that of Asgard and the destructive crucible of Ragnarok. Death was never the end, just another beginning. 

	Had Runa not been more focused on Lance's transformation, perhaps she would have heard Klara proclaim Runa was a light goddess. And had Runa heard that, it would have been a delicious, melancholic irony - to know that at least in one world, she was a worthy legacy of her father Baldur. Instead, Runa was focused on Lance, placing a hand on his arm for a moment. [color=#a81a75]"Lance, do what needs to be done. Smash,"[/color] she requested, hoping that he was enough present to listen to her, and that she hadn't just made everything so incredibly much harder for everyone else. 

	Runa swung her staff at Klara, aiming to hit her in the head and ideally knock her unconscious, but Klara blocked with her sword. Runa swung again, this time landing a decent blow to Klara's head. [color=#a81a75]"Cousin, lay down your weapons,"[/color] Runa counseled, only to then be sent into some trees by a wave of shadows sent by not-Bethany.
