[b][color=cc33ff]Skills:[/color][/b] Telepathy [hr][hr][/center]	The rest of Guin's body knit itself back together, under the orange heat-lamp-like glow of Ed's magic. She felt stiff, but fine - the pain had vanished and she could just feel the cost of her inevitable doctors' bills plummet to near nothing. [color=cc33ff]"Thanks, man - never thought I'd be into faith healing, but that did the trick,"[/color] Guin quipped. She was clearly feeling better, given that a certain bit of sarcastic lightness had returned to her tone. She slowly rose up to her feet, taking it somewhat easy just in case, but nothing was screaming and no loose bones seemed to be trying to puncture any internal organs, so all in all it seemed good. 

	[color=cc33ff]"Umm... I honestly don't know enough about the Phoenix to say, but both, maybe?"[/color] Guin answered Pietro's question. Despite being with the X-Men for so long, she didn't know all of the basics of some of the key lore. There was a lot of stuff that had happened with the previous team that just wasn't talked about very much. The entire Dark Phoenix situation did make the Phoenix a somewhat sensitive topic. Before she could chime in though on whether or not they ought to go off after Mary, she returned holding the M'Kraan crystal. 

	[color=cc33ff]"How about we all do what Mare said, go find the others, get home, and then we can figure out everything that happened? I'm not in the mood to wait around for more evil versions of us to show up and kick our asses,"[/color] Guin argued. Privately, however, she shared an opinion with Pietro. [color=cc33ff][i]This is not good. Jean Grey wasn't psychotic and we all know what happened with her... Best to keep this on the down low though. Even telepathically.[/i][/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#a81a75]Runa Baldurdattir[/color]

[b][color=#a81a75]Skills:[/color][/b] Darkness Manipulation, Darkness Constructs [hr][hr][/center]	Runa was slightly comforted by her cousin's insistence that no penance was necessary, but it honestly did not erode her guilt by much. Perhaps if Klara recovered her memories and still opted for forgiveness, that would make a larger dent - yet... As Runa reflected on the last one hundred years, of the trials Klara had gone through, perhaps it was better that she did not remember. It was just a blip in her life. And Runa could reacquaint her with their new allies, the formidable Midgardians known as the X-Men. [color=#a81a75]"Alternate reality versions,"[/color] Runa explained to Klara, as Klara asked about the duplicates. [color=#a81a75]"And rather nasty ones, unfortunately. I do not wish to take my brother's crimes lightly, but... This universe has an evil to it. One that would give me pause if I were to be asked whether or not this particularly world should be preserved."[/color] Of course, Klara had no idea what Runa was talking about with Forseti - a fact that Runa overlooked. 

	Runa sent tentacles of darkness wrapping around Nightlocke and Mage - Mage's shield prevented her from making direct contact, so she had to improvise. And she remembered a story Guinevere had told her once, about how mighty young heroes of Midgard stopped a formidable, hated foe - the villains known as Team Rocket. She controlled the snaring darkness and flung Nightlocke and Mage, and they landed a bit away. Runa repeated the process, this time sending them soaring high through the sky and out of sight, just a twinkle on the horizon. 

	[color=#a81a75]"As the Midgardian parable goes, they have blasted off again,"[/color] Runa noted. She then turned her attention to Lance, trapped in his Hulk form. She didn't see any other foes - the others must've run off. [color=#a81a75]"Lance, darling, you can stop now."[/color]
