Selene weirded her out to no end, and she preferred to not] explain the full meaning of the word even though she knew it. That would be way too awkward considering the word is a bit archaic. Not to mention that the word means lover or sweetheart, which isn't so bad. It's just that usually the word tended to be associated to referring to someone's mistress or affair partner. That was what had made her face go red, and what made her very much not wanting to actually say what the full meaning for it was.

She was still somewhat bright red, and Zari sort of ended up stammering out a reply. "Uh, no... I really don't think the meaning of the word is that important..." she ended up saying. Her attention was being drawn to the other random bits of conversation going on, apparently Casper got offended about waffles or something like that. It was weird to her, but then again, Casper was always the weirdo.

It was kind of amusing to see Casper going on a little about the waffles was a bit amusing. Though Casper and Selene's interactions in general were something entertaining in general. Their personalities seemed to just match in how they acted and interacted and all. He was just watching the chaos that was ensuing unfold, when he heard James nearby talking to him. Now that was a bit unexpected, but maybe it had to do with the fact that Casper was currently thoroughly distracted.

Jack had to think for a moment to create a response to James. "Oh, only the past week or so, give or take. Was a bit unexpected but definitely makes things more entertaining. And I know I'm typically not around or distracted or not the best at conversations lately. Just had to deal with a few things and figure some stuff out before, but found the answers to those issues. Not honestly what I was expecting them to be, but eh whatever. Ended up talking with Selene a bit not long after all that was dealt with. She's definitely entertaining at times," he responded with a shrug.

She was still a bit caught up in her own thoughts, and she got startled slightly by Veil walking up and talking to her. "Oh, sorry, didn't hear you walk up. Hello there," she said, with a slight wave at both Veil and Callie. When Veil commented about how she looked like something was up, that was not that surprising. If she had been paying more attention, she probably could have masked it a bit better. There wasn't much that she could really say to really explain what was going through her head.

"Yeah, a strong drink or something would be nice... Just a lot happened where secrets came to light from a long time ago... So that was an interesting time... Otherwise I'm doing alright. How are the both of you doing? Enjoying yourselves?" she asked the pair. Miranda looked at the drink menu, and was a bit unsure of what to order. Usually if she was with Ellie, she'd go with whatever Ellie suggested, so this was an interesting moment.

Yeah, she was not amused at all by the conversations around her with regards to the other two. However, she very much tensed up when Layla wrapped an arm around her. She was not okay with this at all. People touching her was not something she was fine with, since it wasn't something that she was used to. Usually it was because she got caught by someone or something while trying to steal or pickpocket someone. This was not a fun thing, and she really wanted to shove Layla away from her as she was led to the other rooms.

She looked at the room that they were given, and she instantly stepped away from Layla and found a spot on the ground against the wall, preferring that really to a bed. "Beds are overrated, so whatever," she said with a shrug. The floor wasn't actually that bad, actually it was better then some of the other random nooks and crannies that she's slept in over the years, so this wasn't too horrible of a place.

Jack didn't say too much for the rest of the trip considering the conversation had been about fighting skills, which he lacked, but was glad that he wasn't the only one since Sierra was in the same spot about it as him. Meg was definitely the best equipped and prepared for combat, so they'd have to see how this worked out in the long run. They were going to be dealing with pirates and all, so they clearly needed to figure out how this was going to work out, since pirates clearly were going to be better equipped for fighting.

Once they reached shore, he climbed out of the carriage after the others, and was a bit surprised to find a crocodile. Who for some strange reason was acting like a dog and rubbing up against them begging for food. "Well this is a bit weird," he commented, looking at the thing. After all, didn't the story go that the crocodile ate Captain Hook's hand and that's why he has a hook in the first place? He was pretty sure that was how the story went. So he had no idea why it was there, or if he should be overly concerned by the creature's appearance there.

She honestly didn't want anything to do with this conversation, or the group that she was with. This was just adding fuel to the fire that was going through her head, and she really wanted to go be anywhere else. Of course, because of the chaos going through her head, and her lack of sight, she had no idea what the hell was going on with Demetri, since no one had actually fully explained that whole thing in general. The only thing she could really tell was that clearly Zeke took her advice and went back over to caring about Demi and all.

Her attention turned towards Kristin as she asked if she was okay, and she shrugged. "I just want to be alahne, but apparently fahr sahme strange reasahn de universe declares dat Demetri suddenly 'as sahme randahm issue goin ahn dat no one is explainin at all to me. But persahnally I dahn't care about dat, clearly 'e's de best din fahr everyahne sence de begennin o' time if everyahne is wahrryin over 'im fahr sahme reasahn." she ended up responding, continuing to ignore everyone and everything that was really going on nearby.

He was glad that they had gotten on the train, and seemed to have gotten away from the cyclops family, or what was left of the family anyway. However the sound of what he assumed to be the father in the family yelling about demigods and clearly referring to them was not exactly a good sign, at least in his mind. The sounds of something eventually landing on the train car, before the silence was not exactly a good thing. It made him wonder if there was a cyclops hanging onto the top of the train car or something like that.

"I dink we should shut dis fahr a lettle while until we're further alahng," Jason commented, before going over and shutting the window, since no one else had. It mainly just made him feel a little bit better about the entire thing though. So now they were on the train heading to the west coast, and hopefully they wouldn't run into any more trouble. Though he personally doubted that would happen at all knowing how their luck seemed to be working out for them right now.

"Seriously? You don't get that reference? She also has a talking backpack that has whatever the hell she needs and then there is a fox that keeps trying to steal everything from her. Oh, and the monkey in bright red boots who hangs around with her. Show is a bit insane at times when you break it down to just that and think about it though," Mary responded to Madalyne with a shrug. Most people had at least heard of the character, so she wondered a bit what planet Madalyne was from or something.

She glanced at the map as it gave two different directions that they could go. Given their current situation, she wasn't entirely sure which would be better. The stairs seemed like the better option though, considering the other side of the abyss had monsters, and they were being followed by more monsters. They seemed likely to be heading for a large fight if they went across immediately. Mary pointed towards the staircase, and was slowly heading that way, hoping that they didn't get noticed by the monsters nearby, at least not before they were already on their way and gone.

Don't diss the Twinkies ever. They can survive a lot, there is a reason why that is my go to food. Aside from the fact that they taste good Pietro said mentally to Guin. He was finding this entire situation to be a bit boring in general for him currently, since there was way too much talking and not enough time spent doing anything. Pietro looked at everyone else, before shrugging slightly, taking the pen from Runa and started doodling a bit with it on his arm, before holding it out to whoever wanted it.

"It will take a few moments to see if the spell will work," Strange responded, starting to cast a spell.

"A plan... Right, that would make some sense..." Mary commented, thinking for a moment on what sort of thing to do. Her head was swirling a bit from a few different things. One because she just felt sick for some strange reason, the other being that Chrysi wanted to take off to go mess with things.

Right now she was just trying to think of how to do this, since they also still had to deal with the whole Klara situation, and they didn't have any sort of way for them to potentially tell Runa about it until later. And by then they likely would be dealing with the real Klara, or well, who probably was the real Klara. They still didn't have any definitive proof on that sort of thing. "Well aren't there a million different ways this entire situation could go wrong. You might as well give up and just accept that everything is all screwed up for you. And I'm not just talking about how you're crazy in the head."

"Shut up, you aren't exactly helping."

"Hey! Maybe you'll just pass out again! That would be fun, still don't know what caused that to happen though. But hey, you did whatever off in lala land, and I actually dealt with a situation that you kind of ignored."

She really didn't want to have to really discuss this sort of thing, especially considering there might be someone who wants to cause them problems among the group, but considering what they were going to do, they didn't exactly have any sort of choice with it. "Obviously the main part of the plan would be getting the crystal shard before either of the other groups do. That is the number one priority. And of course the whole be careful with the shard thing since it could just destroy everything. If we can't get an exact location and only can get a general area, we should split up to try and find it quicker. Now, of course as mentioned there are the problems of the counterparts. Everyone pretty sure you all know each others powers and never thought we'd actually be discussing something like this but we are, we need to figure out the easiest ways to combat each of our powers. Or at least, the powers for those we're going to encounter. Let's start with an easy one, that being the speedster."

"Well that's easy. Either cold of some sort of since cold and speed just do not mix. That or finding a way to trip me, since that would likely result in me crashing and probably breaking some bones in some way. Which would then pop into place again which would hurt and then take a moment or two to heal, and you get a chance to actually do something."

"Yeah, not sure how to do the cold or whatever with this group, but it's honestly not that hard to trip you you sometimes don't pay attention to where you're running."

"Only sometimes, I am getting better about that..." Pietro responded with a shrug. Want to come back out here? Strange is doing some spell to try and narrow down where the magic shard is, and now we're basically discussing how to best combat our counterparts.

"Who wants to go next in the sharing of what might stop your counterpart. Since we might as well go through this whole thing now..." Mary then said. Strange was still casting his spell and using his magic, it was going to be a little bit longer before they actually had any sort of location to work off of.

Jade would be able to take out the remaining two in the doorway, their bodies dropping surprisingly slowly to the floor. Thalia lowered her hands for a moment now, thinking, "Okay... Now that that is dealt with... Um, guess we continue onwards then?" She wasn't entirely sure what to do, she was perfectly fine with following after Ed and Jade as opposed to leading the way on her own. This was not exactly the sort of thing she was really used to doing.

Out in the hallway, the coast seemed to be clear for the three of them now. Though they might want to consider hiding the bodies or something like that at this point. Since sooner or later, someone would likely show up and find them and raise some sort of alarm.

Over with the group of Cass, Guin and Mary, they'd be able to enter the room and seem to be able to do things without too much of an interruption. Hopefully anyway, that was the idea after all. However she wasn't sure how well this was going to work out. After all, she was creating something that hadn't actively been tested on any living thing. She also had messed with it to the point where in theory she had made it so that it wouldn't effect their group, but everyone else in the building. That was also something she wasn't entirely sure would actually work out.

"I'm still not entirely sure how well this is going to work out..." Mary muttered. It wasn't an exact science, she had been spending the majority of the time eyeballing everything, since what would have made the whole creating of things easier was if she had a genetics lab of sorts to more easily craft what she was doing since she was manipulating plant cells in order to create a plant a custom poison of sorts. It would be one thing if she had actually done that sort of thing before, but she hadn't. So she didn't have a baseline at all for it.

Mary went to over to the nearest vent and yanked it off the wall. "Should be a few minutes before this ends up actually working out... And as stated, this might not work, it wasn't exactly tested and I've never exactly made some weird plant pollen to do this sort of thing... It'll take a while for it to circulate the building. But if all works out well, we won't be effected, but everyone else in the building will... In theory..." Yeah, that's all it really was at that point, just a theory in general. They'd be able to hear what sounded like footsteps not too far away from them further down the hallway, heading their way.

Lance and Pietro weren't too sure whether or not Carolina was in control of any of the group out there. After all, they couldn't exactly see her. However one thing they did get clued in on, was that something was up with Avalanche giving his random comment of sorts. The others in the group turned to look, before shrugging slightly and continuing to wander off and around a corner out of sight.

Once they were gone, Lance dropped the invisibility, and walked over, "So, now we get moving on and eventually see about meeting up with the others upstairs? We should get going, since we are running a bit behind everyone else..."

"Shouldn't take too long to catch up, so let's get going already."

Zari wasn't too sure if she was fully comfortable with Selene being around the group, since she was definitely a bit intimidating at times. Though the instant the word leman left Selene's mouth and how it was clearly referring to her made her face turn bright red blushing. Based on everyone else's reactions, she was the only one who seemed to even understand what the word meant. Or the way it was typically used really, and she was trying to calm down a bit to try to stop blushing, but that was not working out too well for her.

"Oh um... I just never um... Cared for it... There are better breakfast foods then um... That..." Zari typically never stuttered or stumbled over her words, so this was a bit strange for her, and for others. Maybe later she'd explain to Andy her reaction or whatever, but right now she was not going to just openly explain it in front of everyone given what the word means.

Of course Casper was instantly interested in the whole outfit that Selene was wearing and all. That was definitely not surprising at all, given his brother's intense interest in clothing. Most everyone else seemed to act a bit wary of Selene, and honestly he usually tended to act that way before when he first met her, she wasn't so bad to be around. She definitely was an interesting person to be around. Those who had stayed at the table seemed to be asking her a few questions, Casper about the outfit, Echo seemed to be asking her the question that the kids had been talking about?

"Lovely as always to see you Selene, and beautiful as ever too," he said to Selene with a smile. At this point it was a bit obvious that something was up between him and Selene, though he very much was not going to explain anything away. He figured he might as well lean into the whole situation. People were going to ask questions anyway no matter what he did, so why honestly try to hide anything?

She had gotten a lot off her chest in her overall rant to Magneto. Truthfully she had wanted to tell him more of her reasonings, particularly why she had given up her son, the one who also was his child. It wasn't just because of him or anything, it was also because of her, and more so really because of her and knowing she likely couldn't really provide a stable home for the kid at the time, and everything else that had been going on. No, there wasn't enough time in the world to explain that whole thing.

Miranda didn't look back, deciding to go see about getting a drink. Right now she wanted something strong, and was really wishing that Ellie was still at the party, since she right now could really use a friend to talk to or something. So many things were going through her head currently, and she didn't know what to think with everything going on. So now that she needed to figure out what it was that she was going to do, what better way then to find something strong to drink?

"Any number of things could probably have caused that thing that then ended up dragging us through once Sparky touched it, we can't say one way or another," Flynn added with a bit of a shrug. He had no idea what had caused the anomaly that Luminous and Doom had used, well, it also was the one they ended up using too. That whole situation was a bit strange to him to say the least, and how it worked went way over his head, but he did find it odd that Oliver seemed to think that one of them had created it.

After all, there were numerous things across the universe, anything could have potentially caused it to say the least, so who knew what actually caused it. They had no evidence one way or the other, so unless one of the two actually tells them how it appeared there and tell them the truth, they probably will never know. Everyone was starting to wind down and get ready to head off to sleep, so they'd deal more with that sort of thing in the morning.

"Yeah, not going to happen," she responded with an eye roll towards Maria about the whole Pikachu thing. It was a bit on the annoying side at times, and her attention turned towards the rest of the conversation which had turned towards the anomaly that had brought them here, and she rolled her eyes at Flynn. "How many times do I have to say sorry for touching the weird anomaly, how was I supposed to know it apparently was a rift in the fabric of reality."

The conversation about what potentially caused it was not going to end up giving any sort of answers. It was impossible, and they just had to deal with the fallout. This might have ended up for the best in some ways though. Since at least for her, things suddenly made more sense as to why she always felt extremely out of place with her family back home (well, adopted family apparently) and why she had felt like an outcast at times. "We can't do anything about the anomaly anyway, and there isn't a point in really talking about it until we catch Doom and Luminous."

Oh great, more waiting around to go do something. She would really prefer to go do this recon journey or whatever now. The rain and the storm would probably provide them with a decent amount of cover to sneak around by the castle. That made some sense anyway, at least in her mind. Though she supposed if the entrance they'd be going to was on a cliffside, they would have to be more careful in the rain, so there were pros and cons to doing things both ways.

Rosalia was still wondering what all they were supposed to do while waiting out the storm. Though that was made apparent when Rapunzel came over and mentioned that there were rooms setup for them all upstairs. The others seemed to be more or less congregating together a bit, and she was perfectly fine with not being anywhere near them. This was definitely a weird place to be in, and she never expected to end up in the house (or well, tower) that she had more or less spent her very early childhood in, with her parents.

Of course, now they were heading to deal with Captain Hook in order to get some help from merpeople. This definitely had been a strange adventure to say the least so far, and he still wasn't sure how it was all going to end.

He almost didn't hear what had been asked until the others were answering the question. "Not too much with actual weapons, I always tried to talk my way out of situations rather then fight. Unless you count when I sent a fireball by accident at my father's face and burned it pretty badly, then again it turned out to be a good thing that I did that," he responded with a bit of a shrug. Yup, he preferred not to use weapons, since to him violence was not exactly the answer to everything.

She was honestly a bit surprised with how bluntly she had more or less called him out for everything. It was a bit difficult for her not to, it did hurt a bit, she wasn't going to lie about that. Not to mention most people usually never saw past the fact that she was blind, ironically they never seemed to really see her for who she was. Hence, she never actually really ended up in a relationship with anyone, and that usually meant she never actually really had felt any real feelings like that toward everyone either. She thought that things with Zeke were a bit different, but apparently she was wrong. That's what happened when, as her brother would put it, she wouldn't be able to really tell a lie or anything even if it was right in front of her. That always was her major downfall, she always trusted what people said or how they acted, never easily thinking that they could be lying to her, at least not at first.

Janelle listened to Zeke's words, and once again, she wasn't entirely sure whether she could believe them or anything. It certainly didn't seem like he was lying, and him not saying anything or even really talking to her for most of the day didn't exactly add to his credibility in that regard. "If it seemed like you actually cared at all about anythin we'd be 'avin a defferent cahnversation... sence you clearly ahnly seem to care fahr yourself and no one else," she responded to him. She wasn't usually this mean or rude to anyone, ever. Generally she typically was a kind person, but even though her words seemed like they'd sting or bite, they didn't. Her voice was a bit shaky as she spoke those words, wavering a bit, and it actually looked like she might cry.

Her attention was drawn away from Zeke (as she heard him walk away) and towards the other bits of commotion that was going on, namely it was all surrounding Demetri, because of course it was. She had no idea what it was that he was going on about, but everyone was still heading along to the train station, so she just ensured that she didn't stray to far away from the group as they got there.

The money was a nice bonus for defeating the Karen cyclops, so that was a nice thing. He also couldn't help but wonder why monsters were running around using credit cards for whatever reason. Then again, they had been a cyclops family of sorts, so maybe they had an apartment or whatever around? That still struck him as a bit weird to think about, made him wonder just how many monsters were living in plain sight, it was just strange to think about in his opinion, but oh well, not something he wanted to dwell on right now for very long.

The announcement about the train arriving was a good thing, since it meant they could hurry up and move along, get out of there and hopefully not have to deal with too much trouble, at least immediately anyway, from the cyclops family, or well, what was left of it. Jason followed along after the other two, heading onto the train, and following along until they came to a compartment, which made things better for them. They at least would have some privacy and all at least.

"I mean true, but also this is just proving we might as well be in Dora the Explorer, anyone have a talking backpack to go along with the magical map that even seems to mark where we need to go?" Mary asked as a bit of a joke, as she watched the map swirl around and eventually saw it put a mark on the map, pointing somewhat to where exactly they wanted to go. This map was definitely oddly convenient, she wasn't entirely sure if they were just lucky, or if this was leading them into a trap.

She looked at the compass that appeared, wanting to have them go down the right pathway. The sounds of monsters coming closer was not exactly pleasant, and she instantly started walking that way. Her mind was racing, and she was keeping her eye out a bit, hoping that they wouldn't get jumped by monsters for any reason, or without there being some warning. Yeah, dying in this weird maze was not something that she felt like doing. Not now, not ever. She very much preferred living.

But the wizard is just going to keep talking about some other magical space rock that can mess with reality and is a bad thing in the hands of most people," Pietro complained mentally to Guin. This did seem to be their life currently, going after space rocks that could destroy everything. The last one they dealt with was the reality stone on Asgard, so who knew how anything was going to go with this situation/

Strange raised a bit of an eyebrow when Bethany spoke about how easy it sounded. "It may sound simple enough, however, that is going to be far from the case. Unfortunately, the most you can acquire about its location is a smaller general area with magic. The shard gives off such strong power, that it messes with most other forms of energy, including magic."

"Plus knowing our luck everything that could possibly go wrong, will go wrong," Mary added with a bit of a shrug. They didn't exactly have the best track record with that sort of thing in general. They always ended up having the worst luck when they actually needed it for something important.

"As for what you said," Strange continued, turning to look at Runa, "Was part of why it seemed like the best course of action to potentially use the shard to return you to your own home reality. I was going to ask for your aid in retrieving it anyway, as that much potential energy and power in the hands of most anyone can be devastating."

"So how about we get going then? You just said that you could get us somewhat close to where the shard is, then how about we get going."

"We shouldn't rush head first into the situation though, if we do something could happen to destroy the universe."

"But they have a headstart on us, so we should go there fast and get to it first obviously."

"There also is the whole everyone might run into some of their counterparts, so we might also want to pay attention to how we can tell the difference between everyone. Since that might come up a bit." that was a genuine problem that they had to worry about currently. Since she knew that at least Ed and Bethany had counterparts with the Hellfire Club, and that Pietro had a counterpart who was with the Brotherhood. Plus the whole other Klara who might actually be their Klara thing, and she also was with the Hellfire Club, which didn't help matters. Her attention turned towards Strange again, "We know a few of the counterparts we might easily run into... Any idea who all we might see while trying to get the shard?"

"Well obviously Quicksilver is with the Brotherhood, though he's not the only one, both the younger Stark and her," he said, nodding his head towards Annie, "Are with the group as well. As for the group with the Hellfire Club, considering the fact that you seemed to have encountered them before, you already know."

"Yeah, both Ed and Bethany's counterparts are there too... So we need to make sure to keep track of which ones are our version of everyone if we do run into them. No matter what we do, that is something to keep an eye on..." She had sort of left out the whole "other Klara" thing partially because she wasn't sure what to think of that situation. And secondly because of how that version of Klara was, it would be very difficult to get the two of them mixed up anyway.

They are just talking about how best to deal with everything and aren't talking about the fancy space rock specifically. So go now? This is kind of boring...
