Magneto thought for a moment with what it was that Guin was saying and asking of him. It took a moment for him to come to a decision on it though. "If that is what you wish, then so be it," he said to her, before he pulled his helmet off of his head, holding it under his arms, looking right at her. "If you must."

Well now Pietro was just insanely confused by the whole situation. Since he could guess what Guin had been expecting to have happen, and he was positive that that was not it. ...I've never seen him actually willing take that thing off... Why did he take it off? Pietro said mentally to her, clearly a bit weirded out.

Lance was kind of glad that Ed (wherever he was) seemingly had healed him and Guin at the least. Though sounded like he was unable to heal Jaclyn or anything, which made him just sort of look at her injuries a bit now. "Here, let me look," he said as he took one of her arms carefully to not irritate the injuries anymore and started looking at the burns on her arms. "Well, can't do much for the burns at the moment considering they aren't bleeding and don't have bandages or anything to potentially dampen that. Not even pain killers. However the fact that you feel them and that I'm guessing they hurt is actually a good thing. Means there isn't as much damage to the nerves so the burns are less severe, guessing second degree burns if I had to guess. You should be fine for a little while until Ed shows up to help heal this..." he said to her, trying to be a bit reassuring to her about it. Though the burns probably hurt like hell. His leg still did and he was hesitant to try and walk on it at the moment. Course he could shift but that might not exactly be the best of options right now.

Looking over towards Carolina when she made her comment, he nodded his head, "Well of course, anyone who comes here can come and go if they so choose, they don't have to stay here if they do not wish to."

Pietro was about to say something towards his father when there was a slight rumble of something coming down the hallway, and if everyone looked over that direction, they'd all see a lot of water coming down the hallway a bit further along, and no idea of where it was that it was coming from. Pietro was very much about to go start rushing people out of the hallway, when metal started going forward, eventually cutting off that part of the hallway past everyone (the group watching the camera can still see the group though) and there was the sound of water slamming into the metal wall, and a little bit of water started seeping through the cracks in the makeshift wall.

"Ok, well, first an explosion, now the place is flooding. Seems like this sort of place is cursed at this rate if you ask me."

"...Actually killing us directly might not have been the goal. Causing our powers to go haywire could do a lot more damage then that. Think about it Perry, when your powers went crazy it summoned up a bunch of ghosts that started attacking us. Now imagine if that power got caused on a larger scale, as in enough to summon hundreds of them. That wouldn't just necessarily get you killed, but probably would have gotten a lot more people killed all at once. That would be more concerning then just him burning us out and killing us that way..." Mary ended up saying, though she was very much a bit scattered brain at the moment.

Her mind was very much trying to argue with itself and actually try to come up with a reasonable plan as to what to do since it didn't seem lie getting out of the situation was going to be so simple. They had to deal with the sort of situation they were in. The others were currently dealing with Magneto, which was a good thing, well, she still wasn't entirely sure what the whole situation with that was. It was very confusing at points trying to piece together what was going on at the moment.

Then someone else just had to show up, great. As if what was going on in her head wasn't bad enough to deal with, there now was another person here.

"No, we're not here to jump on the Magneto bandwagon, actually trying to think of where best to avoid him at all costs, since you know, typically we aren't exactly on great terms with the guy. she commented, turning to look at Robert now. She wasn't exactly in the mood to overly be dealing with more people, or fighting actually at the moment. If she had to fight someone she's not exactly certain how it would end.

"Um, okay, so are you going to attack us for just being around like practically everyone else around here or not?" Flynn decided to ask Robert, before there was the sounds of yelling coming from the door and farther along down the hallway. Though the yelling cut off, before being replaced by another sound coming from the same direction.

It sounded like rushing water.

The ground rumbled underneath them and Flynn walked over to look outside into the hallway that they had come from. What he saw was not something he was super thrilled to see. There were more doors in the room but thankfully this seemed to be the only one that actually was open currently and he shut it and ensured it wasn't going to open any time soon. "Our lives aren't simple, we've got a problem," he said as the sound of water got a whole lot louder, and underneath the door there looked to be water seeping through. "The hallway might be underwater now. Or close to it."

"Wait what?" Mary asked as an alarm started going off on the computer, showing that there seemed to be damage or something in the corridor next to them. There was only a few other doors in the room, and looked like only one of the doors wasn't connected to that hall. The others were starting to have water seep through them into the room.

Really not overly wanting to do it considering the chaos in her brain, she started searching telepathically for anyone out in that hallway. She eventually found someone. Actually it was the person who they had encountered earlier who could control and create water. However they seemed to be freaking out a bit, trying to stop their powers from going out of control, but that seemed to be making the entire situation worse. "...It's one of the ones who attacked us earlier, Their powers are going haywire..." she said thinking for a moment, before looking at Robert and the computers again. "Alright, right now we all might get screwed with this, but considering our last encounter with them they seemed perfectly fine and in control of it, well. Which considering our current situation and encounters with people I'd say there is likely only one person who could have caused that. We know some about Cortez from the computers and our own interactions with him. Perry, see if there is anything else about Cortez in the computer aside from what we've already found out. We need to figure out the best way out of this room though. Mr. Linden, I'm Marygold Isley, current field leader of the X-Men, what do you know about a guy by the name of Fabian Cortez?"

Klara looked over at the horses outside, before following along after Carolina and Jack back outside to them, and she rolled her eyes slightly at Jack asking if they could understand him. "Of course they can understand you. All animals can understand people anyway, most just choose not or choose to ignore them. You just have to learn how to listen. Or have a spell so you can more easily talk to them," she said to him as she walked over to Mercymorn and Butter Rum, figuring that they'd likely have to ride them since the chariot was gone by now with all that had been going on.

"Hey Butter Rum, would you please kneel a bit for me so I can climb on?" she asked the horse with a smile, and the horse did so, allowing her to more easily climb onto the horse's back. "Thank you very much. But you two are right, we definitely need to get out of here, so let's get going if you know at least vaguely the place that Carolina described," she added, basically ignoring Jack's entire existence at this point now.

"Yeah, well if we do our job correctly there won't be a need for it," she commented with a shrug as she followed along through the portal, not sure what she fully expected on the other side, but things were a bit more hectic then she expected as fire was already getting thrown around. This just made things a lot more interesting for them in general, but the distraction group going through the front definitely were living up to that title.

She wasn't entirely sure what direction they were going through in order to sneak into the castle, though she was expecting some resistance. They hadn't exactly left the castle very quietly last time, so Rosalia was expecting them to have done a whole bunch to maybe find how they had gotten in before. That would make the most sense really, but these people didn't exactly seem like they were the smartest people around, at least as far as things so far were concerned really. Though she did keep down in order to hopefully avoid anything since they needed to head on out already for infiltrating the castle.

Well, guess they were all heading out to see about getting this whole thing started. He followed along after the others through the portal, not saying anything but he did give Megan a slight smile when she had glanced over at him. They were going to be fighting an army with an army (sort of) of their own. Which meant that they were going to have a whole bunch of chaos erupting around them now. As he stepped through, he noticed the catapults that were there, and saw that Colby seemed to have the same sort of thinking as he did as he started throwing fire at the weapons.

"Might as well practice my aim now," he mused a bit, thinking, as he generated a fireball in his own hands. There were 5 catapults that he could see, so let's see how much damage he can do. Throwing his first fireball, it slammed into one of the catapults and lit it on fire, engulfing it in flames and destroying it as he started creating another one in his hands, before lobbing that one too. It hit another one and that one also went up in flames, getting destroyed.

She wasn't entirely sure what to expect when they entered the casino. The sounds hit her really quickly as she walked in petting the cat in her arms. Sunshine seemed like a fitting name even though she couldn't see the cat from what she gathered with the cat. Though she wasn't going to really acknowledge Zeke's presence on that entire thing. Ignoring him made her life a whole lot easier right now, especially since she was focusing on being able to tell what everything around her was like. Though she did instantly hear the voice that asked about if anyone wanted a cookie.

Then there was the sound of Nancy's voice and the sound of two people hitting the ground.

Stop Zeke? Wait did he do something stupid? She wasn't sure, as everyone else hadn't said much, but if Nancy asked for something like that, she wasn't going to stand by and do nothing. "I'm on it," she said instantly as she let Sunshine go down to the ground and pulled out a glasses case, slipping the lenses on. The first thing she noticed was how bright everything was. It took a moment for her to adjust to it, considering the fact that she was used to there just being darkness instead. The noise and sights around her was a bit dizzying and overwhelming, but she had something more important to do.

Janelle didn't even look to see anyone else, since she was likely not going to be able to easily pick out who was who of everyone, plus to them they'd all be able to tell that she seemed to actually be looking around at her surroundings, and she spotted Zeke's retreating back to the rest of the group. "Comb ahn Sunshine, let's go," she said as the cat took off after him, and she took off after the cat. Eventually she was able to catch up to Zeke and put a hand on his shoulder and spun him around to face her, and now she was looking at him directly in the eye, the cat nearby still.

"Zeke you just ded sahmethin dat you weren't suppahsed to and Nancy is right now really wahrried about you, so we need to get back to everyahne else alright? Ahr I'll put you to sleep and drag you back," she said directly to him, not sure what caused him to wander off or anything like that.

Facing giants. Sounded lovely really, and hearing about all of the things that had moved in since the fall of New Rome was totally a big reassurance as to what they were doing. They still didn't have any idea how close to their goal they were, or anything like that. All they knew was that they were almost to their destination, or at least part of it to actually accomplish anything. Things were seeming further and further away, though this did seem to explain why Persephone was there, to at least help somewhat with the giants.

Jason was still staying relatively quiet since Stella was more openly talking with Persephone, and Niah had a few questions of her own. As of right now, he didn't exactly have a lot to say or even questions of his own to ask. She had answered the main one he had, which was why she was there, so right now she didn't have anything else to say. He was starting to wonder just how far from their destination they were, but figured to not ask the age old question of "Are we there yet?".

Things were going wrong, very very wrong, and this wasn't going to end well. Everyone was getting tired, and they'd only be able to out run them for so long before the monsters would be able to easily catch up to them and then they'd all be dead. Madalyne was lagging behind a little, and the cry of pain caused her to glance back and see her turn it into dust, but what was more concerning was when Madalyne caught up to her and handed her a gem to give to Nancy and Niah if something happened to her.

Which meant to her that Madalyne was going to do something to result in her maybe not making it back.

Mary took if from her but shook her head slightly, "Well, you'll be able to give it to them yourself, but I'll hold onto it for you right now, okay?" she said to her, though she had a feeling not all of them were going to get out of here alive. She lead the way with the map after slipping the gem into her pocket, and they would enter a room with a large bridge across the gap, with steps at the other end that seemed to be the way out, "We're almost there, that looks to be the exit over there," she said, pointing towards the stairs.

Location: Training Room A

She was not super thrilled with this whole thing really. Fighting each other didn't seem like the best of things (though the fact that their team was a bit dysfunctional didn't help their situation) so when others wanted superhero costumes for them to use, she happily jumped on it. Since it allowed her time to go race around and make things for everyone. Zelda's own costume was already made, her Sheik costume that she had worn during the auditions. Plus she had focused a bit on making Percy's at one point, so there was that.

When it came to the day of, she switched into her costume, and made sure that she had her sling of knives that she carried around to throw. The key thing was to go attack people where it wouldn't kill and would only seemingly result in an injury. Since that was not the sort of situation she wanted to find herself in. However in her costume, she was definitely a bit more confident in what she was doing. That was the thing, pretending to be someone else made her feel better. It made her feel like if she messed up then it wasn't necessarily her messing up, just the persona that she had adopted for the fight.

As the fighting began, the siren person's voice was a bit odd to her, but it didn't necessarily stop her from being able to do anything. Though the corny song that Dorian had decided to start up when he was clearly taking control of that girl was a bit weird to him. Her attention turned towards the light manipulator person, and she threw her first knife. Aiming a bit too high the person had managed to throw up a shield to defend against something that would have not been what she had been aiming for. Her next two shots were mixed, one the person had managed to dodge, though the other had managed to lodge itself in the upper shoulder stuck there. At least that was something for her to have accomplished to say the least.

Zarina Raynordattir

Skills: Sword Fighting, Technopathy

Zari was super excited for this whole fighting thing. Sounded like a whole lot of fun in her mind, though she also didn't think having an actual team leader was a good idea. So for the most part she still kind of ignored Vicki's stuff for things. Not to mention she had decided to try to make comms for everyone. By herself. She does realize that Zari literally is great with any for of tech and electronics right? That literally is her entire thing, but nope, decided to do it all on her own. There was the issue of having to prevent herself from giggling a little bit at the fact that she had sort of failed in that mission.

Anyway when it came time to join up with her team, she had armored up in her own armor, her sword was at her side and a horn was hooked at her waist as well. She was wearing her Valkyrie helm as well, and so she was prepared for just about anything. Then as the battle begun, the lights decided to go out because of someone, and with Leah's wall she couldn't exactly see. Now that was annoying. Zari used her powers (or attempted to) to at least get it so that there was some light as one flickered back on overhead, but was weak. That was better then nothing she figured. After another moment of thinking though, she facepalmed as she realized how much of a moron she was.

"I am such an idiot, who needs lights when my sword is literally called Glowstick for a reason," she said with a bit of a laugh as she unsheathed her sword, and it began emanating with a bright bit of light. Sure, made her a bit of an easy target, but now she could at least see everything around her. Zari shook her head a bit at Victoria though, "You'll be fine, plus think the fact that we are in a bowl of sorts means let's attack the aerial ones first, since you know, arrows can hurt. Plus some of us can fly you know," she said, the first part of her sentence was a bit more firmly directed towards Victoria in more ways then one a bit.

Without so much as a second thought though, she unhooked her horn and blew on it very loudly, the sound echoing throughout the room as a portal opened up next to her, and out walked Mr. Sparkles the Pegasus. Hoping on board, she giggled a bit, "Mr. Sparkles, let's go!" she said happily as they took off into the air, her sword still glowing to light the way for her. It didn't take long for her to get up and find the bird guy, and with one swing, making sure to aim for using the hilt of her sword as opposed to fully the blade, and slammed it into him, resulting in the guy dropping like a fly and hitting the ground out cold.

"No, though I do know them. My grandfather is Odin the All-Father, grandmother is Frigga who also has begun teaching me some magic, well, learning from both her and my uncle Loki. Though sword play is a rather simple thing, not to mention I can use my other arm. People do have two arms you know. What's the whole point of having another arm if I can't use it to fight with my sword. I've been training with the weapon since I could hold one in my hand," she snapped at him, completely ignoring the whole fact that what Carolina was saying how they needed to help each other out.

As if to mock him a little bit, she reached down by her side and opened up the flask of water that she had there. Manipulating the water with her powers, a stream swirled around and started to glow as it wrapped around her broken arm. It took a little bit of her trying to cast the magic and to get it to work, but after a little while, the arm mended a bit. So it wasn't super broken, at least that it had been healing for a few weeks. The water swirled around in her hand again and went back into the flask at her side as she shut the lid. "Remind me why I should help him? Not to mention you aren't exactly one to talk," she said towards Carolina now, "By Asgardian standards, and I'm guessing Midgard standards I'm fairly young, so when against some really bad thing why would instead of choosing to do something to help and instead decided to just not do something when it had been made apparent to literally everyone that the Green Eyed One wasn't going to hurt you. So no, I'm not healing him. Plus you say everyone should work together when you didn't really do anything and then the other guy who was with us abandoned us completely." Yup, she was not in the mood to deal with everyone around her right now. The feeling and emptiness was a bit overwhelming at the moment, and she had no idea what to even seemingly do at the moment to fix it. So lashing out at people instead for having not actually been helpful was what she had settled on doing.

She just sort of listened to what Kristin was saying with regards to the hotel, and at least giving them some information to go off of, though she still wasn't too sure what this place would be like. They had to move quickly, but the problem was they weren't even positive as to where in the hotel they had to go to in order to reach their goal. This wasn't exactly going to be a simple thing.

Her attention was drawn away by the feeling of something small and fuzzy rubbing up against her legs, followed by a meow. Janelle couldn't help but giggle a little bit at the appearance of the cat, as she reached down to say hello. "Well where ded you come frahm lettle one," she said as she picked the cat up into her arms, petting it. Of course then her happy little bubble with the cat got interrupted and popped by Zeke popping up with Nancy finally. The cat apparently belonged to them, but she was just sort of ignoring Zeke's words at this point, deciding to focus once more only on the cat in her arms.

The cab did not seem like it should be designed for this many people to be in it. Well, at least comfortably really. Since there were now four of them plus the driver in the car. Oh well, he wasn't entirely sure where they were going still, but he figured at this point he'd listen more to what the others were saying rather then add to the conversation himself. Since so many voices were already talking.

Well, aside from answering Persephone's question, "I'm alright," he said with a shrug as he listened to the others. Niah was mentioning someone he hadn't heard about at all, a bit odd that she was mentioning it, but he figured it better not to ask or whatever. The conversation seemed to be shifting though as both Stella and Niah seemed to be thinking the same question, and he was wondering too, namely how was Persephone going to help them out.

Mary was pretty sure this was going to be the part where they all died trying to get out of the Labyrinth. They were being chased by monsters, and who knew how far it would be to get to one of the exits of the place. Which meant they could find themselves on the run for a very long time trying to get out for all they knew. That would spell out disaster since the monsters likely could run for a hell of a lot longer then they could.

The bridge was definitely a fun thing to cross. She didn't exactly say much with regards to Madalyne using her magic to seemingly get them across, and then there was the issue of the giant. "We've got to keep going... Though I hope we get to an exit or at least lose these guys soon. Otherwise this is not going to end well for us," she said as they kept running along. She really was hoping this would stop with the chaos soon enough, but she didn't say anything else as she followed the arrow on the map, hoping things would work out.

She was still not thrilled that people wanted Colby or Matthew to end up in any of the groups since they were walking disasters. However if she did have to choose one, she'd prefer to have Matt with whatever group she was in. But she'd prefer to actually have neither of them, but the world couldn't be perfect at all. Oh well, nothing that could be done about it for the most part, they just had to get going with this whole thing already.

Rosalia turned to look at Flynn when he came over to her and handed her a dagger to hold onto. She looked at it for a moment, not super thrilled at being handed it, but also fully understanding why she now had it. "Thanks, I think, though as mentioned, hopefully won't have to use it or anything," she said with a shrug, more then ready for them to see about heading off on their mission.

People were starting to head out and everything with regards to the plan, which wasn't really a plan just sort of seemed like a lot of it at this point was coming down to luck or something like that. There wasn't a whole lot that they really could do at this point besides head in and hope for the best. So that was something to say the least. His attention shifted towards his mother now as she came up to talk to him.

"Yeah, as ready as possible anyway," he told her. He had the sword that he found a while back, even though he wasn't exactly the best when it came to sword fighting. But he did have access to magic naturally, so all else fails he throws a fireball and hope that he doesn't burn everyone in sight. That's what he had for skills that would be useful in this situation, so here was hoping it worked out in the end for them.

Riiiiiiiiiiight, him going to therapy? I'd lean more to the trap thing if he hadn't put together the hallway again so you didn't die... Also still weirded out by him defending me. Pietro responded to Guin. Still very much uneasy about the entire situation in front of them.

Magneto seemed to be thinking of what was being said, and looked around at the group. "That is not how anything is supposed to work unless someone has been giving out orders of sorts behind my back with regards to it. Potentially fighting for the right to be up here is correct, however, it was supposed to be a fully voluntary thing. The combats are meant to determine the strongest in order to ensure this place is well defended before it is even fully operational. Once it is defended it's meant to be able to house any mutant who wants to be here. However as mentioned, it is entirely volunteer based." he eventually explained, though he did look over at Exodus, since he did seem to know a bit more then what he had initially said about it.

Lance was a bit weirded out by the entire situation. Though right now he was getting a bit dizzy from his own head injury, plus his broken leg which he only now actually took a look at it. His leg was at a bit of an odd angle, and now looking at it he saw that a piece of bone was sticking out a bit. That was going to cause problems when it came to moving. Actually, he didn't know what would happen fully if he shifted and shifted back. Whether it would heal entirely or only heal when he was shifted and then not be when he shifted back.

"...Well this isn't going to be fun..." he muttered under his breath, before he put his hands on either side of his leg, and both Guin and Jaclyn would hear a bit of a crack as he basically just snapped his leg back into place.

Mira ended up being able to reach the area that they were in. Though she was a bit tired from the run, at least she had a bit of endurance to make it so she was less worn out. However the situation they were visibly in now definitely seemed interesting. This looked to be the place where the explosion had likely occurred, and everything seemed a bit weird in general for them. Magneto wasn't attacking them, though she wasn't sure if Exodus was going to try something soon. That guy was insanely unpredictable, and kind of dangerous from what she knew. They had no real way to successfully fight him off easily if they had to. But at least it just seemed to be a friendly, if awkward, conversation that was going on right now.

"Still find it hard to believe you had no knowledge of what your guys were doing when they decided to attack us, and we had no idea what was going on with it or why."

"You might think that, but it is the truth Pietro."

Mary was not entirely sure what to do at this point, the others were still kind of preoccupied with everything else. Though at least Perry seemed to be able to get into the computer system. Her mind was wandering and having a bit of a hard time focusing on what was going on around her. There wasn't much more in a response from Guin aside from her explaining the whole situation. Well kind of explaining the whole situation, was still kind of vague, but it was being made apparent that Guin and them likely weren't going to be catching up with them anytime soon.

Flynn walked over to the computer system that Perry had booted up and gotten into. "Well, how about we see what sort of files are on here... Actually wonder if there are files on people here that might be interesting to say the least," he commented as he went to another console that was part of the same computer, just with a different screen. He started flipping through various things, until he found some of the files on people on the asteroid, and he out of curiosity pulled up the one on Cortez.

"...So looks like you might have lucked out majorly so with what Cortez did. His powers? He basically can act as a battery for the powers of others. And in a way makes it seem like he's healing them since he boosts people in general... But there is one big downside where you very much want to be careful of. He can overcharge powers and make people burn out, essentially killing them... Just think, that could have probably been a whole lot worse, at least he seemed like he was somewhat "helping". Though as we know not really helping. That guy just gets a whole lot worse now doesn't he?"

"Well yeah things could have gotten worse... Like a lot worse. You do not want to see my powers go completely out of control. Any of the abilities I have really. Though at least some of them are kind of useless since we're in space and not on really any ground that can grow plant life," Mary ended up saying, though not fully stating all the other things she could do to potentially cause them problems. One thing would be a bit obvious though, namely that she seemed to almost be half paying attention to what even was going on at the moment.

Hearing what was being said about pulling up cameras, she just nodded her head, "I don't know exactly where the others are, but if there is a camera system I'd say yeah pull it up. Especially since from what little I got told Magneto's over there and they were kind of at the center of that explosion."

Sorry that I was asking for specifics, got a splitting headache because turns out there's a guy on this station who apparently kind of supercharges the powers of others, but if used too much he can basically burn you out and kill you, he used his powers briefly on us, that could have ended really badly...

Zelda had been sort of bored so she had begun tinkering a bit with the design of sorts for at least a prototype suit for Percy. It was a basic one since the main function was to get it so that at least the clothes appeared to change appearance for the time era it was in. And she was making it with a fabric she had found that was a bit more adaptable to different environments and more resistant and durable in general. Of course, it had served as a nice project to get her mind off of the rest of the team that they both had gotten stuck with. Eventually, she did find Percy after she had finished the project and basically had just sent him a message to come to meet up with her at her dorm room since she had something to give him. Of course she kind of had kept her little mini project hidden from her roommate, figuring it best to not potentially have to explain the full thing to her or something.

Percy had been watching reality television in his room when Zelda texted him, asking him to come on by. He visited Zelda's dorm room somewhat often, mostly because her roommate was his older sister, Diana. There was another dorm room besides his own that he tended to visit, although he had been keeping that development somewhat private. He didn't need his personal affairs to be the talk of the entire school. Although he wouldn't have been surprised if the other person in the budding relationship had already told most of the junior class. He made his way on over to Zelda's dorm - it wasn't too far, just on another floor of Stark Hall, and he knocked three times. "Zelda? It's Percy."

She walked over and opened up the door, giving him a slight smile, "Hey there Percy..." she said, before stepping aside to let him in the room. Once he entered, Percy would see what looked to be a mannequin of sorts with a costume on it. It looked identical to the outfit that he was wearing currently for the most part. "Remember how we spoke about what sort of costume or whatever we'd do for you? Well I kind of decided to try making it. The crest on the suit is what hides the thing meant to shift your outfit depending on what period you're in... But obviously not entirely sure that it works or anything for what it's meant to do without actually testing it out or something..."

Percy blinked, looking at the mannequin. He hadn't actually expected for Zelda to be able to make a costume that would fit his specific needs. He had watched a few video series on designing clothing for superpowers, and it wasn't an easy job, even for the simpler powers. Percy, somewhat haughtily, figured that his would never be called simple. "How'd you make it?" Percy asked, incredibly curious. He reached out and gently touched the fabric, as if too hard a contact would cause it to unravel and fall to pieces.

"Well I already had a lot of the sort of materials. I typically tend to keep on hand fabrics and materials that are fairly durable... Though I did go on a bit of a scavenger hunt to find something that would be better for just in general durability in the fight... Now for the tech part well... I did have to ask someone for help with that... But thankfully we both know someone whose good with tech and electronics, and Zari essentially squealed with excitement at the challenge that I gave to her and we figured out a way to make it so that it, well hopefully, works correctly... I have my own little costume I've sort of been working on for me, but yours was a bit more interesting to work on in general..." she said, still not entirely sure about his reaction, "So do you like it?" Zelda then asked, waiting to hear his response.

That made sense to him, Zelda involving Zari - Zari hopped between universes, she had access to the sort of text that could make clothing change to fit a time period. In fact, Percy wouldn't have been surprised if Zari's mother had even invented a device that would similarly help her daughter blend in. Clearly Zari wasn't using it though, as her style looked as alien and awkward as always.

It was also the most he had heard Zelda talk in a while. Or ever, really. She was always so shy and withdrawn. Percy nodded. "Yeah, I love it - thank you," he said, giving her a smile. "Can I try it on?" He hoped that it fit. He didn't know how Zelda would've gotten his measurements, but maybe Diana had given them to her... Although he didn't know how Diana would have gotten them either. But he didn't worry about it. Not yet. It wasn't creepy yet.

"Sure, figured that probably would need to happen," she said with a slight smile, before she gently pulled the the outfit off the mannequin and handed it to him. Zelda had only been able to get more of just a general sizing for the outfit, so she was wondering how it'd fit him. Having kept what exactly she was making from Diana, she had basically asked her what it was and only saying it was for something she was making for Percy. It would be easier if it was a little big on him or something, since either he could potentially grow into it, or she could just easily adjust it to fit him better. Fixing it if it was too small would be a bit more of a challenge for her, but not super impossible.

Percy grabbed the outfit from Zelda, and went into the closet. It was the only spot in the room where he could change without being seen. He wasn't keen on changing in front of Zelda, and the bathrooms were communal in Stark Hall, meaning he'd have to leave and come back. He got dressed pretty quickly, and when he came out, it was pretty clear that the outfit was slightly too big on him - he looked almost like a little kid playing dress-up in their parents clothes. "Well, I'm relieved to know you didn't have my exact measurements after all," Percy quipped, smirking at her.

"I mean that would have been impossible to get without asking you, and that would have ruined the surprise, but I can pin it so I can just hem it to make it a little smaller for you. Fixing from too big is harder than going up in sizing anyway... Not sure how you'd want to test out whether or not it can shift appearances where you are though..."

"It wouldn't have been impossible," Percy said, somewhat without thinking. Zelda could have snuck into his room while he was asleep and taken his measurements. That was what he had been mildly concerned that she may have done. Only mildly concerned though - it didn't seem like her. He hesitated for a moment though, as she suggested trying it out. His moms had always warned him to not try to time travel without an instructor, that using his powers to time travel rather than just spatially hop would be too dangerous. One was like sliding along the ice, the other was like descending blindly into the depths of the freezing water and reappearing as an acorn.

It was stupid and reckless and risky. He didn't even have perfect control over just a spatial jump.

But he cared that Zelda thought he was cool and impressive with his powers - he wanted everyone at the school to think that. "Sure, I can give it a try - did you want to come with?" he offered. He wasn't going to try anything too big. Maybe a day or so. Then a month. Maybe a year. Nothing crazy. Nothing massive.

She was a bit surprised that he fully went with the trying his powers thing. Personally she would have been fine to just wait a little while for the season to change or something and they just wouldn't be sure until then "Uh sure, sounds like it might be interesting to see what happens."

Percy nodded. This was a stupid and reckless idea. But he was going to start small and work his way up to it. He took Zelda's hand and concentrated. It was different from when he jumped from location to location, but somehow exactly the same. His plan was to take them back five minutes. Nice and small. Then he'd go further. And further. The air shimmered around his hands a strange blue, and there was a POP, as Percy and Zelda were flung back in time...

Exactly one hour. The dorm room was empty, thankfully, so they didn't need to worry about running into past!Zelda - or even past!Diana. Percy frowned. "I think I overshot it," he admitted. It probably was a bad idea to try going even further back. Probably. Maybe.

"Well that was interesting to say the least... I do think the idea of you being able to time travel no matter how small is kind of cool... Especially when you consider how useful even a small jump back could be..." she said, looking around the room a bit, "Hopefully we don't run into anyone since that might not end well though..."

"I could try to get us back an hour forward, but it might be easiest to just hide somewhere," Percy admitted. "I think as long as you don't run into yourself, it should be fine." His moms had warned him against running into versions of himself - they had said that it was likely nothing good could come from it. His mother, Dominika, had even gone on a long explanation of the quantum mechanics and physics involved in such an event that summed up to not great.

"Probably for the best, though... We need to hide somewhere else other then in here... Since I'm probably heading back this way soon. And running into myself for whatever reason would be weird to have happen... So let's find someplace else to wait it out..."
