Current Almost exactly one year since I step away from being here, and a lot can change in that amount of time. Here's hoping I can find a game or two and see how things go from here.

RIP Stan Lee... You will forever be missed. As someone whose grown up reading Marvel comics, you've always have kind of been a part of my life. Thank you for making most of the Marvel heroes we know.

Bio

WIP I'm coming back after forever so clearing all of this seems like a good choice.

Just few basic things.

1. Left for my own sort of health reasons.
2. I ran a game for almost a decade when I stepped away from everything.
3. Currently working on getting an interest check up for the game I am going to hopefully be able to run.

All set, that's all for now.

James would be able to heal Niah without any difficulty, the pain would leave Niah and she'd be back to normal for the most part it would seem, allowing her to get up and be able to help out with what was to come. Strange shut the portal that Max had gone through once he was back in the building, saying nothing to him really. Pietro sort of shot a glare at the group again.

"You know if you wanted to know where my sister was, you could have just asked. Pretty sure she already knows we're all here, but don't mind a damn word I say, since you know... According to more then a few people here I'm just a person who has some mental issues, can't really fight off anyone's mind control, and who is an idiot. So don't mind me when I could literally answer your damn question about where she is in two seconds, but nope, guess I won't then," he snapped at everyone. He was more then a little annoyed. Especially since just about everyone in the room weren't treating him all that well. Allison just reminded him that Wanda had messed with his head, as if he didn't already know that, and Max just said that he couldn't find her. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know anything like that.

Nothing seemed to matter though, even though he was right. Wanda probably did know where they were, and if he was being perfectly honest it was probably his fault. The mental link he shared with his sister, at least in this reality, never had really needed to be blocked off, so he'd never really had a chance to try that. Sure, he was fairly decent at doing it he would think, but considering how easily she had manipulated his mind, odds were that she could track where he was. Which is probably one of the many reasons they had been attacked at the Baxter Building. People tended to forget that it kind of worked both ways, and something else he knew, was that Wanda wasn't even trying to block out the link, meaning he knew exactly where she was at this point in time.

Of course no one ever listened to him, so why did it matter?

"Pietro, calm down alright?" Mary said when she walked back over, "Everyone is stressing out considering how poorly things could go, so just chill..."

"Oh trust me, we are way beyond stressing out over how things are probably going to go."

"...Actually Pietro has a point. If we wanted to know where Wanda was, why don't we just ask him? At least for confirmation or whatever... Didn't you guys say that back with the whole OMEN thing that is how you ended up finding their base... Since Guin had a mental link with Pietro and she tracked him?"

"...That is a fairly good point. Though what if Wanda's blocking him out, I mean, that's kind of what he's been doing to her since he came to the mansion."

"...She's not..."

"Well that's a bit odd..."

"That I can agree with... She's still at the palace right now, hasn't exactly moved or left there really... Wouldn't surprise me if she was expecting us to show up."

"...Fun, so we can just pop up outside of the palace then, since we don't know if there are other soldiers or whatever there."

"I can open a portal to the palace if you want me to" Klara commented, figuring that it was better that she do it or something as opposed to Runa, since Runa had been opening portals all day. Sure, Dr. Strange could do it, but she was getting a little tired of doing nothing at all.

"...Yeah, we probably want to do that."

"Cool," she said simply with a shrug, before she pulled out her own sling ring and opened up a portal that led directly to the front of the palace. With there only really being the front doors to the palace in front of them. "Anyone who is going, feel free to step on through the portal, and hopefully we can get this over with..."

"There is only so much that we can really do honestly," Tony commented, despite being quite, he for the most part was just thinking of how he was probably going to run into someone he hadn't exactly talked to in person for years. It was definitely going to be a little bit awkward.

Once everyone who was going through the portal and heading to the palace went through, Klara stepped through herself and shut it behind them. However, it was somewhat apparent that they weren't the only ones outside the palace. There was someone else there too.

Magneto's wife Miranda.

She was just sitting on the front steps, and looked up at the group. "Been wondering when you'd all show up... It's been a while since I've seen you Tony, how have you been?"

"Yeah, no kidding Mandy, we're here to essentially fix the screw up that your boyfriend's kid caused."

"I know that Tony."

"Like seriously? Betting that Magneto's behind this or something."

"No he isn't Tony. Erik has no idea, if he did odds are that he'd remember the real world, and I assure you, that he doesn't!"

"Yeah, like I'd believe that. He could be faking it or something!"

"Well you really are something Tony aren't you? He doesn't remember that reality, at all, you'd think you'd remember that I'd be able to tell that considering my abilities literally deal with the past and memories! You are such an idiot!"

"At least I'm not the one whose dating, or apparently married, to a known terrorist who is still trying to destroy the human race!!"

"In the real world we aren't actually married first of all, and second of all I was going to help you, I know where Wanda in the palace is damn it. But maybe I won't considering you aren't exactly being very nice."

"Now is not the time to hold grudges Mandy! And since when did you decide to actually kind of grow a backbone and threaten people. You always were the person who most people could glance over in a room and probably not even notice!"

"Well guess you just bring out the worst in people Tony."

"Look, can you just tell us where Wanda is?"

"Fine, she's upstairs, in her room, however I'd suggest your group split up. Since you all will stand out way too much first of all, and secondly you'd have to deal with so many other people too."

"...You know that's a good point, we probably should split up or something... Too many of us would draw a lot more attention then you'd think..."







Serval Industries - Hangar Bay -> Outside of Sisterhood Base
"Should be a pretty short plane ride, so don't get too comfortable," Psylocke said as she got on board of the place, leading the others there. The mission was pretty straight forward, find the rest of the team and bring them back to Serval, only using force if necessary. Simple enough, if only that group would actually listen to them. Psylocke knew that of the group, there were a few people who would be hard to convince of anything.

Once everyone was on board, she fired up the engine and the jet took off into the air, and not too long after that, they were already circling above their destination. "Told ya it wouldn't be too long of a flight. There's the main jet, I'll see about landing us near them and we can see about potentially finding the group of renegades..." she said, before the plane touched down near the other jet, and the ramp lowered to allow them to get off. Psylocke got up from the pilot's seat and headed off the plane.

Arthur
The explosion that Arthur caused created significant damage to the hallway in general. He'd actually be able to see the hallway of the floor above as the roof partially caved in on itself (seriously Mor, you and your explosions). When the dust had settled, and if he poked his head out to look to see if anyone was coming, he'd be able to see Yuriko and Martinique had exited the room that they had been in, coming to investigate the explosion.

"So, it would appear a few visitors of ours might be nearby,' Lady Deathstrike said, clearly sounding more then a little bit annoyed with things.

"Clearly... Though who in their right mind creates an explosion underground is beyond me, perhaps these people are more idiotic then we initially thought."

"Perhaps..."

Their voices were drawing closer to him, but instead of stopping at the door, they continued onwards towards where the explosion had been. Seems like luck was on his side for the moment anyway

"Wow, so pushy Watts," Sapphire said with an eye roll, walking over to the elevator and stepping inside. She had to stop herself from smirking slightly at Evelyn's bit of a tirade at Watts. The guy deserved it, as he wasn't listening to common sense at this point. As the doors shut though, they'd feel a bit of a rumble coming down from below them. As well as a very loud booming noise that shook the elevator entirely, and for a moment it would seem like the elevator was going to drop entirely and they'd plummet and probably get crushed. Luckily for them, that didn't happen, as the elevator stopped on the bottom floor, letting them out into a bit of a lab area.

"Alright, whose blowing things up down here? And who thinks it's a good idea to cause explosions underground? I mean really!" she said as she exited the elevator and looked around the room for a moment, before she stopped by the door, listening. The group in the lab would be able to hear Lady Deathstrike and Mastermind's voices nearby. Actually, they sounded incredibly close, almost like they were outside of the door. That was going to make things interesting, considering the fact that two members of the Sisterhood were standing in between them and where they likely wanted to be.


Raynor Blake and Theresa Sparks



It had been less than a day since they had returned from the Quantum Realm and in that time, both of them had been debriefed by some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agents. While Sparky had talked with Agent Melinda May, Raynor had been assigned to Agent Phil Coulson - drastically different experiences for the both of them. May was harsh where Coulson was soft and compassionate. The team had been put up in housing at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s San Fransisco base and Raynor's room had been outfitted with a large number of high intensity therapy lamps used for those with S.A.D. But for him, the rays bathing his skin seemed to be helping to accelerate his healing rapidly. The Asgardian was lying in bed, discovering the unfortunate side effect of all that light - it made it almost impossible to sleep.

Sparky wasn't really able to sleep all too much herself. She was still not used to being outside of the Quantum Realm, not used to being in the real world. Definitely she wasn't too used to there being a lot of people around, as in the Quantum Realm there had effectively been only a few people, herself, Raynor and Janet (and technically Spider Gwen but she didn't count as she hadn't interacted with her ever). Figuring that she might as well see if Raynor was awake, Sparky left her room and went off to Raynor's to see if he was awake. She knocked on the door, "Ray? Are you awake?" she called softly.

"Sounds like someone couldn't resist me, huh?"

Sparky rolled her eyes slightly at that, poking her head into the room, "You are kind of ridiculous... I was wondering how you were doing..."

"These lamps aren't nearly as effective as one of Idunn's apples, but they're helping," he informed his sweetheart, figuring that was the information she was after. "But they are so bright... Too bright which is saying something since my dad is the actual God of Light." The color had returned to his skin, but there were still prominent lines in his face from the physical toll the Quantum Realm had had on his body.

Sparky nodded her head slightly, walking into the room now. "That's nice to hear," she said, referring to the lights helping. She couldn't help but giggle slightly when he said that the light was too bright even for him, considering the irony.

Raynor got a sly look on his face. "You know what else would help though?"

"Based on the look on your face I could probably guess."

"Alright, why don't you guess then?"

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because if you don't guess, I'm not making pancakes for you in the morning!" Raynor threatened. It certainly had to be the least menacing threat he had ever made in his life - and after a moment of reflection, he recalled that the most menacing one was likely when he had held an opponent over a vat of boiling acid and threatened to drop him into the ghastly depths.

"Since when have you ever made me pancakes or anything like that Ray?" she asked, giggling slightly at his words.

"Well I guess now I never will," he said, crossing his arms.

"Probably for the best, I bet you are a horrible cook."

Raynor rolled his eyes. "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but your words can never hurt me, Sparks."

"Well it's true, pretty sure you are a horrible cook. Wonder how you've survived this long if you can't cook anything," she said, sticking her tongue out at him for a moment before she couldn't stop herself from giggling even more.

"Believe it or not, but we pretty much had feasts every day on Asgard so there wasn't much of a need to cook - I learned when I came down to Earth from X..." his voice trailed off for a moment, before he forced a smile onto his face. "Now I'm going to go make myself pancakes, since I doubt anyone here can force me back into this bed, and you'll just have to suffer the consequences of not having pancakes."

"Nope!" she said, before she walked over to him and zapped him with a bit of electricity, "You need to lay down!"

The color drained from Raynor's skin slightly, turning his warm complexion to something more ashen as he fell back into bed. His chest wasn't rising and falling anymore - his heart had actually stopped beating from the electricity Sparky had sent at him. That much electricity had never bothered him before - the Quantum Realm had really done a number on him.

"...Ray?" Sparky said panicking slightly as she went over to him and put her hand on his chest before she sent another bolt of electricity through him.

Raynor gasped, his heart beating once more as he struggled to rise.

"S-S-Sorry Ray, I didn't mean to do that," she said instantly to him, before she she gave him a hug, still somewhat panicking from the thought that she almost killed him.

"It's fine, Sparks," Raynor wheezed.

"N-n-no it isn't! It clearly isn't! I'm sorry!" she said again, shaking her head rapidly.

He rolled his eyes slightly, managing to regain his breath. "Then I forgive you, luv.... It's all fine."

"See, you keep saying it's fine, but my brain keeps saying otherwise!"

He raised an eyebrow, never quite getting that Midgardian expression despite all of his years there. But even as stressed out as Sparky was, he couldn't help but be happy to see her. Reaching up, he put his arms around her and pulled her down onto the bed with him, snuggling her.

"What are you doing Ray?" she asked, clearly sounding confused. "What's going on?"

"Punishing you."

"Uh, what?"

"You've been bad, so your punishment is you have to snuggle with me in this horribly bright room."

Sparky giggled slightly at that, giving him a slight smile, "Well it is incredibly bright in here, maybe we should get you a sleep mask to block out the light for you or something."

He chuckled. "I'm sure Dr. Chase would find some way to fight me on that - and Fireball would back her up. He was totally in love with her in that other timeline, Sparks, it was kinda funny."

"...If you don't mind me asking Ray... What was the other timeline like? No one has really told me much about it..."

"... I don't really want to talk about it, Sparks..." Raynor then told her quietly, the smile gone from his face.

"...Why not Ray? What happened there?"

He avoided looking into her eyes, staring at one of the therapy lights as he tried to think of a way to put this. "...Nothing good happened there... Talking about it just makes it realer than it needs to be."

"You can't just pretend like it didn't happen, or you don't remember it... That will make things worse for you in the long run."

"I've been alive for a long time... I've done horrible things... I tried to become a better person, someone worthy of you Sparks, but... In that timeline, I almost became the beast again." He then fell silent, not wanting to say anything else on the subject. There was a lot of his past that he hadn't shared with her yet and he didn't want to add anything.

"...If you say so, but to me I think that you are worthy whether you believe it or not Ray... I love you..."

"I love you more, Sparks..."

"Nope, I disagree with that, I love you more."

Raynor gave her a kiss. "So... Do you think Dr. Chase would get mad if you helped me break in this bed?" he asked with a slight smirk.

"I feel like she would considering you are supposed to be resting."

"Yes but speaking as the only Asgardian in this facility, you can't say I'm lying if I say that some physical activities help to get our healing process going," he teased.

"Wow Ray, you are honestly ridiculous."

He kissed her forehead. "Is that a no?"

"You are ridiculous!"



🔬 Niah Bautista 🔬, 🔥 Frederick Flynn 🔥, and 💉 Bonnie Chase 💉


Location: SHIELD Base - San Fransisco
Skills: N/A

Niah had paced about for a while before making the decision to follow through on her promise to Bonnie in the other timeline. She hadn't actually ever told Bonnie, because Bonnie had died quickly trying to protect her. She owed her. Niah just hated that it required talking with Flynn. Of course, theoretically, she could do it without talking to him, but that made things difficult.

First, she decided to talk with Flynn and make sure it was what he wanted. She looked for him and once she found him she asked, "May I speak with you privately?" She realized it probably sounded ominous considering how much she had avoided him as of late so she tried to smile at him. Knowing that it probably looked forced, though most of her smiles of late were.

"...Alright, what is it that you want Niah?" he asked her, not too sure why of all people Niah was wanting to talk to him. She'd been avoiding him like the plague, that much was obvious. "You can drop the forced smile Niah... Why have you been avoiding me and just now decided to talk to me about something or whatever?"

Niah cringed, yeah she hadn't been subtle. She was just going to avoid answering why she was avoiding him, that would add some weird things to this conversation she didn't particularly want to have."When Bonnie..." She trailed off knowing he would know what she meant. "I, uh, promised myself that I'd help the two of you get back together. Do you want my help?" She felt guilty for Bonnie's death in a way she couldn't express, but with fixing things she might be able to make sure her friend was happy again. Bonnie deserved that.

"...Sure, thanks Niah..." he said, nodding his head simply, not sure how she would think about accomplishing that goal.

"Right, I'll go talk to her." Niah nodded, not bothering to smile at Flynn. She left the room and went to the lab expecting to find Bonnie there most likely. She didn't know that Flynn was wondering the same thing she was.

Bonnie was indeed in the lab, sitting at one of the desks with her laptop out. She was reading through some recently published articles. She liked to do her best to stay on top of her field and be aware of the cutting edge research being conducted around the world. Besides that, she always found reading to be a calming and relaxing activity, only bested by drawing. She still hadn't made up her mind about Flynn. She did like him, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to move on yet - her husband's death still felt so raw.

"Hey Bonnie, how are you doing?" Niah asked as she entered the room giving her friend the small smile she had adopted as of late.

Glancing up from her laptop, she smiled as she saw Niah and she set the device into sleep mode, before closing the lid. "Oh, just recovering a bit from the late hours and catching up on the literature - what about you?"

That was a loaded question, and Niah knew Bonnie would be able to tell if she was lying. Or maybe not? They hadn't spent quite as much time together this time around. She sighed slightly, "I've been better, but I'm pulling myself together." There was the weight of sadness about her sister now having gone missing, and the odd guilt she felt that she couldn't have prevented that. "A lot happened in the other timeline. I need to talk to you about something specific that happened."

She frowned slightly but nodded, pulling out a seat for Niah and gesturing for her to take it. "Is it something medical?" she couldn't help but ask, wondering if Niah was going to warn her that she would develop Stage IV cancer or something equally horrible.

"No, I mean sort of. You took a hit for me." She paused and looked down at her hands. "You died and I sort of blame myself because if I had been better at...this then you wouldn't have had to." She sighed then continued. "Flynn didn't take it well. I can say at least it doesn't seem he has ever blamed me for it, which makes one of us. But anyway." She felt like she was rambling. "I thought maybe you should know I think he loves you." She finished. God that was probably not the best way to go about it.

Bonnie was silent for a moment - it was a lot to take in, learning how she had died in the averted future timeline. Her skin felt cold and clammy thinking about her death, but at least it had been to save someone she cared about. She liked Niah and wanted to see her succeed, to grow and flourish into all she could be. "Hey, don't blame yourself," she told her friend seriously. "If I sacrificed myself so you could live, it's because I believe in you - and you did it, Niah, you changed the timeline and saved the world. That version of me might be dead, but she died a hero... All you need to do is live your life, it's what she - me - would want for you." She gave her a smile and then hugged Niah, sensing that she could use one.

But then there was the matter of Flynn... To say hearing that he loved her was overwhelming was a bit of an understatement. She had been making tentative steps towards moving on from her dead husband, enjoying the little start of a romance with Flynn. "... I don't know if I'm ready to be in that serious a relationship," she then admitted. "Especially with an agent, after what happened to James..."

Niah sank into the hug. "Thank you Bonnie. That means a lot to me. You mean a lot to me. I know you don't remember anything but we became good friends. You are a very good person." She wiped away a tear that was threatening to fall. "I'm not saying that you have to step into a serious relationship, but you were happy with him. It was cute." Niah smiled at the memory of them. "What I am saying is you should give him a chance."

Bonnie kept her arms around Niah, not minding sharing a long hug with her if it was what she needed. "Okay, I'll make a deal with you," she offered. "I'll give Flynn a chance, but Niah... Promise me you'll go and talk to someone, okay? Don't make the same mistake I did and think you can tough it out. SHIELD has some great therapists in house you can talk to - or even get a referral to one off base if you'd prefer."

Niah tightened her hug and then released stepping back but keeping her hands on Bonnie's shoulders. She gave her friend the best smile she could muster. "I promise. Honestly, I've been thinking of taking a sabbatical or something." She dropped her hands to her sides. "Thank you, for talking and giving yourself a chance for happiness."

She nodded. "You should - give yourself a chance to go see the world and rest. You saved every living creature on this planet... I think you've more than earned a break," she confessed, giving Niah a smile. "... I'm not really sure how to approach Flynn, but I will talk to him," she promised.

"Yeah. I don't necessarily feel that, but I understand. I'll see you around okay. Good luck." Niah left the lab and went back to where she had left Flynn. "She'll give you a chance. Don't fuck it up." A glint of anger flashed in her eye at Flynn before she turned and went to her room.

"So nice to me Niah," he muttered after her with a bit of an eye roll. He wasn't entirely sure what he was going to say to Bonnie, as what happened in the Ultron timeline wasn't exactly the best of circumstances.

In the lab, Goose had wandered in, having heard what Niah was saying to Bonnie, "Mrow?" he said to Bonnie, before a tentacle shot out of his mouth and grabbed Bonnie by the arm, starting to drag her towards the door.

Bonnie had been deep in thought and she jumped slightly as Goose wrapped a tentacle around her arm. "Goose, stop it," she said sternly. She knew the cat likely could kill her if he tried to, but she still was going to try to teach him some manners at the very least. "If you want me to go somewhere, let go of me and I will follow you - otherwise I'm going to watch Perks of Being a Wallflower and eat chocolates."

"Mrow!" Goose said, letting her go and heading out the door, and turning to look at her expectantly. Flynn was still trying to figure out what the hell he was going to even say to Bonnie, and he started making his way towards the lab now. He was really hoping he didn't make a fool of himself, but knowing his luck he probably was going to.

Sure, it might have been a bit silly to keep a promise to a cat, but Bonnie followed after Goose just as she said she would. She didn't really know what she wanted, but just about anyone who had been around the base for a while knew that Goose was far more intelligent than an ordinary household pet. "If you're bringing me to a dead mouse you found, I'm not going to be impressed..."

Bonnie wouldn't have to worry about being led to a dead mouse. Instead, Goose raced ahead and ran straight up to Flynn who was in the hallway, the cat was rubbing up against Flynn and purring rather loudly. "...Goose you do remember I'm more of a dog person right?" Flynn said with a slight laugh, before he scratched Goose behind the ears, before standing straight up and seeing Bonnie there. "Oh. hey there Bonnie." Goose was staring at her expectantly at this point.

She turned slightly pink, seeing Flynn standing there. Niah's words echoed back in her mind - that she thought Flynn had loved her in that other timeline. A bit of panic crept up in her back of her mind and for a split second, she considered turning around and running back to the lab as fast as she could... but she had given Niah her word and if she kept promises to a cat, she had to do the same with her friends. "Hey... How are you feeling?" she asked him, referring to the extra memories in his head.

"Oh, well, uh, I'm fine thanks, how are you doing? Aside from chasing after a cat..."

"...Niah, she uh, she told me that you were in love with me."

"She did what now? he said looking at her. He had not expected Niah to be so blunt about anything like that, so he wasn't too sure what to say to Bonnie regarding it. "Oh..."

Bonnie nodded, feeling a little bit awkward. "I'm sorry for your loss... She also told me what happened to the version of me from that timeline."

"...Well, that timeline doesn't exist anymore... So it never happened..."

"Just because something didn't happen doesn't mean the pain goes away," she told him softly. "I can't pretend to be in love with you... A-and I don't know if I'm really ready for something intense, I haven't exactly been dating at all since my husband passed away but... I like Disney and if you want, we could watch Hercules or something and share a drink?"

"It's fine Bonnie, honestly... And sure, that sounds like fun," he said, giving her a smile. Goose meanwhile felt like these two were taking too long, so went around behind Bonnie. The tentacles flew out of his mouth pushing her so she ended up running into Flynn. "Damn it Goose really?" Flynn said with a slight eye roll, catching Bonnie slightly and he looked at her. "You alright Bonnie?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.... Goose is just playing rough," Bonnie said, trying not to blush too terribly. She hadn't expected Goose to apparently be a lover of romantic comedies - maybe Niah had somehow recruited him for this cause? There did seem to be a special connection of sorts between those two that was worth looking in to...

"Clearly..." he said with a slight laugh, before he let her go, so he wasn't holding her anymore. "Sometimes that cat does the weirdest things."

Bonnie took a step back, increasing the distance between them. "...Well, I'm going to run on over to the lab, I have a lot of reading to catch up on," she told him, feeling a little bit flustered too. She couldn't quite get the sensation of his muscular arms on her out of her head.

"Okay..." Flynn said simply with a shrug. However, Goose was not having any of this, and the tentacles shot out of his mouth once more shoving Bonnie back into Flynn.

"Mrow." he said to them, and with his tone of voice it sounded like he was almost scolding them.

"Goose, stop it NOW." There was no doubt about it - Bonnie was scolding Goose. She had her limits and her boundaries and just having this conversation with Flynn had been emotionally exhausting. She wasn't ready for this sort of thing, even if the cat seemed to have it in his head that she was.

"MEOW!" Goose complained to her, clearly not too thrilled about being scolded. The tentacles in his mouth flailed about for a moment as he hissed at her. "Mrow hissssss!"

"That is clearly not a happy cat..."

Bonnie didn't have the patience for this. "No," she told Goose firmly again. "You're not going to be able to bully me into playing out this fantasy of yours."

"Mroooooooooooow," the cat whined, quite loudly, before he took off running, clearly more then a bit annoyed with Bonnie, he probably went to go complain to someone else.

"Well that was a bit... Awkward..."


Jack Theriot

Jack didn't really care too much to listen to Sunshine's protests. It was her own damn fault for coming over, to a conversation she shouldn't be listening to in the first place. He had a fairly easy time making it difficult for her to hear anything, and he wasn't too sure about how his father knew what Sunshine's name was, though it was probably for the better overall that he didn't ask him. This whole situation was going downhill the instant his father said he had some business to take care of and left, it was just his tone of voice that sort of sent shivers down his spine.

Once Essex had left, and Sunshine started threatening him, he rolled his eyes and removed his hands away from her ears. "You should not have come over here Sunshine damn it, ever heard of when you typically go in separate groups, don't go bother the people in one of the others since you aren't technically supposed to know each other unless you have some actual thing to say? Seriously, that is literally the biggest mistake you could have made Rookie. You can't let your own curiosity stop the job we are clearly trying to do, called gather information about what's been going on, and for all we knew he might have known something, but guess we'll never know now. I don't know why he was at your trial. Hell, I haven't seen him in a few years now myself, so why do you think I know why he was at your trial? I never know why he does anything, because let me tell you, you want absolutely nothing to do with that man, got it? So don't go asking around about him either. Knowing him it'll end badly for you."

With those last words, Jack got out of the booth that they were sitting at and turned to look her in the eye. "I get it, you are still a kid and learning how the world works. Yes, you lived on the streets trying to survive, but trust me finding the truth is sometimes the worst thing that could happen to you. If he was at your trial, then I'd just stop asking questions if I were you. Look, I don't mean to sound this way, but someone needs to give you a reality check before you get hurt. Not to mention someone else, since if you used your powers in here, things would end badly for everyone who came to this place with you, not just yourself. I'm not lecturing you since I'm afraid you'll make me sick or anything, I'm doing it because I don't want to see you get hurt Rookie... Anyway, I'm going over to the bar to see what Glimpse and Havok or whatever are talking about, you are more then welcome to follow, actually I'd recommend it, pretty sure they don't check ID at all in this place, come on... I don't want to leave you by yourself," he said, before he stood up straight and walked over to the bar, going over next to Glimpse, not saying a word.



Sapphire


Location: The Hospital
Skills N/A



Sapphire shot a bit of a glare, a hint of blue crept into her hazel eyes, but she kept it back and it shifted back to it's typical color. Now was not the time to lose control and freeze Casper right now or anything. "...Why would I care at all about what the Girl Scouts say Casper? I never was one, at all. I honestly thought that the Girl Scouts were a bit weird if you ask me, but I always liked the Thin Mint cookies," she said with a bit of a smirk, figuring that she might as well go along with what he was saying.

Glancing around, and continuing to hope that they didn't get caught, Sapphire made her way down the hallway, trying to find the room that they were looking for, the room that would have the medication that they needed in order to help Magik. It didn't matter too much if they got caught, they could probably find a way to talk their way out of the situation if need be, but she hoped that they wouldn't need to. Eventually, she found the room they were looking for, "And here we are..."


Queen Valda


Location: Outside of The Vaults
Skills: N/A


Valda had her arms crossed, looking at Apollodora. Nothing the girl was really saying made any sort of sense, not to mention she was just supposed to trust her off of not much information. "How dumb do you really think I am? Why is it that you just waltz in here and expect everyone to believe you and trust you? If you are from the future, then you would know why me trusting people is a really really bad idea. So how about you cut the whole "Oh trust me just because I told you to!" crap, since it is getting really annoying."

Then she heard something else that caused her to raise an eyebrow. The daughter of Arya Rincewind? That wasn't exactly possible, considering as Luna just so happened to mention, Arya was dead. As in deader then a doornail, so how could she have a kid? "Luna's right, even if I partially believed anything you said, which I definitely don't, Arya died, a while ago. So there is no way the person we need to stop is Arya Rincewind."



Sylvi the Bard and Bruce Banner



Location: Asgard
Skills: N/A


Bruce nodded his head slightly at his sister, "It wouldn't surprise me if he was. I swear he just about is there every day, so yeah, he's likely there," he said simply, and turned his attention to Myth. "If you want to go with her, that's fine, you'll know where I'll be, seeing if Nova can do anything, and if not we'll maybe think of something else to do to help Tate's girlfriend, see you later then," he added, before he headed off towards the palace.

Sylvi turned to look towards Tate, hearing his words in her mind, and she thought for a moment. Was she really okay? All things considering, the answer was a really big hell no, since she was a vampire, something that wasn't a good thing, and was now on Asgard. Things were starting to blur together somewhat. "I honestly don't know Tate, nothing is really making sense to me anymore... I'm just really really confused..."

With that, she followed after Bruce, just sort of looking around at all of the buildings on Asgard, not too sure what else to really say. Eventually, they made it to where they were headed, the palace. Sylvi just looked at the building, it still seemed surreal to her, being in the kingdom of the gods that her people told legends and stories about. "...Wonder where the person we are looking for is or something..." she muttered softly to Tate.

"Nova? Are you in here?" Bruce asked, wandering around trying to find his sister. He knew that she was there, but he wasn't positive where exactly she was. "We need your help with something." That last sentence he hoped would be the one to at the very least draw her out of her hiding place, wherever she was. There was the sound of someone dropping from the ground nearby, and Nova poked her curly head around the corner, still holding onto her typical stuffed rabbit Mr. Bunny.

"Yeah Brucey? I'm here, and still awake, I tried to go to bed but I had a really bad nightmare, so I've been up forever... What do you need my help with? I see you brought a few Midgardians with you, aside from your wife or the twin speedsters of course..."


Frederick Flynn and Theresa Sparks



Location: Pym Tech
Skills: N/A



"I'd rather not talk about it right now Cass, at all, got it?" Flynn said, almost snapping at her slightly, getting more then a little annoyed with her. He hadn't just said that for his health, though that probably would have something to do with it. If he spoke about what happened while Vision was standing there, odds were he'd probably see about ripping the android apart. That was something he really didn't want to talk about, his mind going back to what had happened in the Age of Ultron timeline.

"If you say so Ray," she said, shaking her head slightly. Sparky was just glad that they weren't stuck in the Quantum Realm anymore. Another thought crossed her mind though, "...Also am I the only one who wants actual food... I definitely was not eating those spider things, and I'm kind of hungry. We should go get out of here once you're feeling better and get some actual food if you don't mind..."

Flynn glanced over at Bonnie, knowing fully well that they weren't a thing in this timeline yet, he'd never even asked her out on a date or something yet. All that had happened between the two of them currently was when he had kissed her back when they went to go deal with HYDRA. Damn, that felt like an eternity ago, well, to him he supposed it had been an eternity ago. After all, it had been almost a year ago or so for him in the other timeline.

"...I don't think the cat would be mad at you for no reason Ray," she added, looking over at Goose, who didn't seem to be all too thrilled about what it was that Raynor was doing. He started hissing and growling at Raynor even louder, ignoring just about everyone else. "...He really doesn't like you for some reason... Like, he looks like he wants to throw you around or something... Which is a bit strange considering the fact that it's a cat..."


Jason and Janelle Gauger

Location: Camp Half-Blood - The Big House
Skills: N/A


"A new one that won't bend so easily definitely would be appreciated... I don't care if it has anything fancy about it, as long as it aids me in moving about. And that will be helpful in trying to take on anything that tries to attack me again or something," she said simply in response to Kristen's suggestion. Anything would be better then relying on someone else to sort of lead her around. That in her mind was the worse possible thing imaginable. At least in her mind, she preferred being independent.

"Cool, so you can essentially replace her fancy walking stick," Jason said, he essentially was teasing his sister somewhat about it. He knew that she generally needed the stick to more or less get around the place, but it didn't mean that he couldn't crack a joke or something about it. "So now what do we do? Just sit here, or go to the cabins or whatever? No one really said what we do now honestly."

"You are so nice to me Jason," Janelle responded to him, shaking her head as she felt the gust of wind heading into another part of the Big House. She was a bit confused, especially considering the fact that Chiron and Mr. D had left the area. Did something happen to result in what appeared to be a sense of urgency? There were so many questions, but she supposed that if someone got hurt or injured from the attack earlier, then that wouldn't be all that surprising, but something that resulted them in leaving? It was strange.

"...Did something happen or whatever?" Jason asked Kristen, looking over at the direction that they had gone, into the Big House. "...Sounds like something major happened, and it sounds urgent... Is it just me or does anyone else want to know what's going on? Then again most of what happens around here has yet to really make any sense I suppose... Makes life more interesting in the long run I guess."



Marygold Isley

Location: Camp Half-Blood - Camp Entrance -> Heading to the Big House
Skills: N/A


Mary listened to what Kiera had said, and nodded her head slightly, before glancing back in the direction that Leda had gone. It wasn't that surprising, most of the other campers had sort of brushed off Ash's death. She had more of been wondering what the hell to think about everything, more of having a bit of a shocked reaction, but now she was more of worried, as that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Why would something that she had literally been given just attack her like that? It didn't make sense at all.

"That sounds like fun, I think more then a few people could use with time away from here... Hey listen, I'm going to go after Leda to see what could have possibly caused that to happen, you are more then welcome to tag along if you want... And for the record, her outburst was totally understandable, hardly anyone around here acted like they cared that a little kid just died," she said simply, before she started walking towards the Big House, figuring that she might learn what had happened. And maybe get a chance to talk to Leda.






"No..." Mary said instantly with a bit of a wave at Maria. "She'd just cause problems and that is a can of worms I don't want to open up."

Mary walked through the portal that Runa had opened up, just in time to see Pietro attack Max. Though to be fair, he did deserve it, and Max's words caused her to roll her eyes at him. "Let's be honest, there are plenty of people here who could probably take Pietro out if they were worried, remember, probably a lot of people in this room technically were doing things that they wouldn't normally do."

Gambit raised his hand. "I'd like ta volunteer to kill Quicksilver."

Mary then proceeded to smack him over the head. "No, how many times do I have to tell you that? You can't kill Pietro!"

"Do you meant I can't or I shouldn't mon amie?"

"Both! Ugh you are so annoying sometimes..." she said before turning to look at Guin with a slight wave, "Hey there Guin."

[color==A4FFFC]"No, I don't, since we've got something better,"[/color] Sapphire said to Annie, before turning to look over at James. "Hey! If you are done stopping your friend from being an idiot then I suggest getting over here! We could use someone with healing powers if you don't mind!" she yelled to him, before disconnecting the blood transfusion between Niah and the Human Torch. "Usually I'd suggest you don't do anything strenuous for several hours, we don't have that much time. So going to let the guy with healing powers fix you up fully so you'll be ready to go."

"...No, it's fine..." Jack said somewhat quietly to his brother, shoving his hands into his pockets, thinking of something his father had said to him, "...I know that she's in the real world too, just don't know where or whatever... I'll see about trying to find her once everything switches back, but this world... It isn't a good one for any kid at all, and it should be shifted back, that's more important then what's going on with the life I have here..." With those words, he went through the portal to the Resistance HQ, falling silent and not saying anything else. Letting out a bit of a sigh before he seemed to put on the facade that he was perfectly fine once again. The only one who'd know that he was faking it was Casper.

"So, anyone have any bright ideas as to how we are just going to go walking up to the Palace and essentially try and force Wanda to fix things?"

"Well, we have more then a few people here with mental abilities, and Maria can technically copy one of them, so we'll have several, what likely will work the best for us is if the rest of us essentially distract her, and those with mental abilities try and see if they can use their powers to more or less force Wanda to fix things, this if just talking to her doesn't work. We should try the simplest solutions first, but that's just me..."

"Well, that could work, though from what I know Wanda is more then a little bit mentally unstable, so we'd need to be careful no matter what we do. As otherwise she could probably just flip things around again and mess with reality again if she managed to do it this time."

"One of the reasons why I said we should probably be careful."

"There are so many things that could potentially go wrong with this, there are risks at every turn, we can't just sit around all day doing nothing."

"Yup... Anyway, I need to talk to someone, hey Maria," Mary said, calling over to her, "Sorry to interrupt, but you said you wanted to talk to me about something, now is the time to do it, since we likely won't have time later." With that, she walked off to the side, away from the crowd of people, waiting to see if Maria joined her. Mary more or less had been avoiding even looking in Cass' direction, still not too thrilled with her at all over the whole SHIELD Phase 3 thing.


Jack Gold

Location: the Morgue
Skills: N/A


Jack didn't really say anything much to Megan right off the bat, more of taking inventory of what it was that was in the victim's possession when he died. He made note of the burned shirt, and started going through it to find something that he could potentially use to ID him, or at least make his life somewhat easier. Finding the wallet, he started flipping through it, looking to see what else there was within it. To his surprise, there wasn't any sort of license or ID, or any sort of credit cards, just some bills and coins. "...That's odd, no credit card, no driver's license, either he lived off of the grid or someone tried to cover up who he was so it couldn't be traced back to them..."

Hearing Megan's words, he was a little surprised that she wanted to jump out of the morgue and head off to go on an investigation. Though he probably shouldn't be too surprised, after all, this investigation led straight back to the orphanage where they'd been at so many years ago. It seemed like forever ago since they were there, he didn't really remember too much about those early days there, but he remembered when he and Megan were adopted. That was around like, 15 years ago or something now. "Look at you trying to play detective. Alright, let's get out of here and head out," he said, heading out the door of the Morgue.



Rosalia Rider

Location: the Streets
Skills: Hand to Hand Combat, Pick Pocketing


Rosalia essentially ignored the girl who came up to her in the restaurant, her attention was solely on Pandora, who in her mind was a bit of a stuck up prick, just because she had managed to catch up to her. She wasn't going to make the same mistake, and she was going to teach Pandora a thing or two. With someone who walked up to talk to Pandora and the other thief, this was her chance at a bit of redemption. She stepped out of the building, pulling her hood back up, and instantly turned somewhat towards Pandora and them.

"No one makes a fool out of me," she muttered somewhat, before she instantly went over, whirled around, and managed to grab Pandora's purse once more, snatching it from her. Rosalia instantly started taking off running, swiping somewhat at the other thief who made a grab to try and stop her, but she managed to avoid her. Instead she just kept running, figuring that it was better off for her to just keep running and hope to lose them somewhere else. That was her mistake last time, going too quickly into a nearby hiding spot. She wasn't going to do that again.





Serval Industries - Conference Room
Gardner nodded her head at Casey, "Yes, if need be incapacitate them, but hopefully it won't come to that. Psylocke here is going to be in charge for the most part, she tends to accept ideas, but in the end it is she that will be making the final call on things, got it?" Psylocke just nodded her head, having expected it. Hearing the other question that Casey had, she turned to look at her.

"Luckily, there is, it's a bit smaller then the other one, and not quite as nice, but it should be able to get us from point a to point b without crashing down in a fireball. And don't worry," she added, looking over at Daryn, "They won't try to kill you, they would more likely try to knock you out if they feel like you are threatening them for some reason. We are to go there, and try to talk them into coming back here kindly. If that doesn't work then we switch to force. Now, let's get going."

With those last words, Psylocke left the room and headed towards the hanger bay, figuring that the others would follow after her so that they could deal with the situation quickly as opposed to sitting around talking all day.

Base - Elevator to Lower Levels
When Arthur reaches the bottom level in the elevator, he'll hear voices farther along the hallway, long before he sees the owners. However, having done some research on the Sisterhood, he'd recognize the voices as those belonging to Yuriko Oyama and Martinique Wyngarde,

"Any idea when your sister will show up and join us? Madelyn seemed determined to try and do things quickly, and without her if need be."

"I don't know, she might have gotten caught up in dealing with that team of hers... Why did we ever want to keep X-Factor around again?"

"If I remember correctly, it was because no one would easily suspect that your sister was connected to an organization like our own if she was the one calling the shots for a superhero team. Made it a bit more easy for her to blend in. However I will say this, she was rather careless wasn't she? Madelyn was not too thrilled with her at one point."

"Yeah I know that, but we bounced back, and that is all that matters really."

"What was that?" Yuriko asked, listening, and Arthur would be able to hear it as well, it was the sounds of Watts' voice a few floors up from them, screaming out loud. It was muffled, but they'd still be able to make out what it was that he was saying.

"...It would seem that X-Factor has come, Regan warned me that they would come, she was attempting to keep them occupied, but it didn't seem to work all too well."

"Another reason why we cannot delay any longer. They are here, and from the sounds of it, they are determined more or less to find their friend. Though I thought they thought he was dead. You know, that explosion that occurred that Regan kept mentioning. It does not matter, we need to get a move on, now," she said, as she started walking along the corridor.

Martinique let out a bit of a sigh, "Yeah, I know, guess we can't wait for Rae any longer," she said, before their voices disappeared and there was the sound of a door opening and closing farther along the hallway, leaving Arthur alone.



Demetria Clarke


Location: Bad guy base
Skills: N/A


Spiral just nodded her head slightly at the group as they went inside. "The stairs only go down one level however. If your friend is not in that room, I suggest looking for the elevator that is hidden on that level, it'll take you down to the bottom floor, hard part will likely be finding it, but good luck to you," she said simply, before she disappeared in a sort of puff of smoke, using magic to teleport away.

"Well that was definitely an interesting encounter that I honestly expected to go south, whatever, let's catch up to the others," Sapphire said simply towards Bella, before she raced down the hallway after Watts and Evelyn. She found this entire situation somewhat amusing, as Watts usually wasn't one to race off head first into a situation. Maybe he did care about people other then himself.

She heard Watts before she could see him, he wasn't exactly quiet, even if he was in another room of sorts. Walking down the stairs after Evelyn and Watts, she wouldn't be surprised if anyone else in the building would hear him and now probably knew that they were there. Walking up to the door that Spiral had indicated, she knocked slightly on the door so he knew that she was there. "You raced off too quickly, Spiral also said that there were no other stairs to the next level down and we have to find some hidden elevator, as that would be the other place to look in case you care."

Sapphire then turned to look at Evelyn, shaking her head slightly, "I'll be honest, did not expect that reaction from him. And now everyone in the building probably knows we're here."
