Antoinette watched the man who approached them with interest. He had a rather smug face, but Antoinette thought the cape was a nice change. She listened to what he had to say, growing increasingly uncomfortable. Being in space with the mutants’ responsible for Genosha was not a good thing. They were definitely not welcomed here.
She agreed with Perry. They definitely needed to get out of here. ”Excuse me, you said you wanted the strongest here in the event of an attack. Who are you expecting an attack from?” asked Antoinette curiously.

Ezekiel slowly shifted his weight in the seat to look at Alexios. He raised an eyebrow before he smirked and picked up one of the god’s fries. ”Oh good, then you don’t mind sharing.” God or not, Zeke wasn’t budging for this asshole. There was only room for one of those on a quest, and Zeke had been holding that title for four years now. Demetri did his best to diffuse the situation, and Ezekiel gave him a smile for his efforts. He didn’t mind the contact or being close to Demetri. He was about to kiss Demi’s cheek when Demi pushed him back to his pile of food. Ezekiel’s eyes widened. ”Dem… I said just to get us fries to share,” he said, feeling instantly shy and embarrassed.
Zeke didn’t come from money and had learned to survive on very little. True, camp life had spoiled him, but Zeke knew how to limit his food intake enough to survive while on quests. This was his third one, after all.

Talk around them was on discussing travel options. Ezekiel didn’t understand why this was coming up again. Janelle forked over hundreds of dollars to get them train tickets across the states, and now people wanted to abandon that idea. That didn’t sit well with Zeke. But wait, there’s more. Alexios had a party bus. Are you kidding me? Ezekiel looked at Nancy before she even spoke up. He knew there was no way in hell that was happening, and no way in hell Zeke was going to force her into her living nightmare before she had to relive her nightmare.
”No need, Nancy, I’ll take the train with you.” Was everyone at Camp Half-Blood completely mental, or was having no empathy some requirement when half-bloods died before their eighteenth birthday? Of course, Alexios didn’t know why that idea should never have been brought up.

As they walked down the hallway, there wasn’t much to decern where they were. It wasn’t until the group reached a window that they had any idea where they were. An asteroid. How peculiar. Antoinette’s eyes scanned the station, trying to understand better why they were here when Mary announced it was a Genosha 2.0 situation. That didn’t work the first time, so why try again?
”Hmm, what will we do, Arnold?” The little tribble vibrated in Antoinette’s palm. Footsteps and voices could be heard coming toward them. Antoinette set the tribble back on her shoulder and turned to the approaching sound. She rested a hand over her chest and shut her eyes to better focus on her ‘gut feeling.’ Antoinette frowned and opened her eyes.
”I can’t get much of a read on them,” she announced. ”They are too far away. The good news is that it gives us enough time to hurry on in an attempt to avoid them, or we can wait. Maybe they will have the answers we seek.” Whether they were good or bad answers, they would be answers all the same.

Ezekiel knew that laugh. He hung his head back and shut his eyes. Great. He leaned against one of the walls while he waited, contemplating the position he had put himself in. Ezekiel went through several scenarios in his headAA about what a conversation with Janelle would be like now. In conclusion, he didn’t anticipate there being much of one, even though he wished there could be.
The bathroom door started to open, and Ezekiel shifted his position to look at Janelle. And she was looking right at him. Zeke cocked his head to the side, noting the glasses on her face. He opened his mouth to speak, but the door instantly closed. Ezekiel frowned. His mind was whirring. She definitely looked at him, saw him. That steady gaze was one Ezekiel wasn’t used to. Not that her wandering gaze ever mattered to him.
The door opened again, and Janelle reappeared but without the glasses on her face. She announced the bathroom was all his before walking back towards the main restaurant. Zeke took a step towards her, reaching out, but pulled his hand back. He could ask her a bunch of questions, but she had taken the glasses off, which told Zeke that maybe she didn’t want to answer a bunch of questions.
”Thanks, Janelle,” Zeke said before he entered the washroom. He went straight to the sink and started to wash the dried, sticky ice cream off his face and neck. After that, he pulled out an extra shirt from his bag and quickly changed shirts to clean the soiled shirt. He didn’t want to linger in the woman’s washroom long, so he quickly cleaned up. Zeke ran his wet hands through his hair to clean up a bit before he picked up his bag again. He then patted his face with his clean shirt but decided not to dry off his face completely. After, he grabbed his wet shirt and headed back into the restaurant.
Zeke saw his group and headed toward Demetri. He glanced at Janelle; a pang was felt in his chest before he looked away and sat down in the space next to Demetri. ”Did you get us some fries to share?”

Apparently, no one was worried about bullets exploding. Cassiopeia sighed, moving to notch another arrow when Rose suddenly took charge. It was intense but kind of hot, too. Cassi picked up the bag with the laptop and smirked. ”I like it when you get all authoritative,” she teased. It reminded her of some of the tours they led together. Cassi quickly pecked Rose’s cheek and ran for the door.
On the other side of the door, Cassi crouched down and scanned the area. She noted a few guards patrolling the area, but they seemed oblivious to what was happening on the other side. Cassiopeia scanned the dungeon, looking for something to target. There were other options than outright killing. They weren’t the bad guys here; one didn’t have to kill to survive.
Luck was not on Cassi’s side. She couldn’t locate anything that would aid her. She suddenly envisioned smoke bombs and decided she needed to get her hands on some of those to minimize killing. Cassi adjusted the pack on her back to get at her arrows quickly. She notched one, aimed for a guard's leg and fired before she quickly loaded another and fired again to bring the guard down.

”Oh, um… where to begin…” It wasn’t as if a whole lot had happened in Agrabah. Honestly, it was all pretty straightforward. Willow was trying to figure out how to put it all together. ”Well, we met up with all our parents and then had to sneak into Agrabah. It was a little nerve-wracking, but we all wore disguises and managed to get through. We met Jasmine; she gifted me a saree; it’s gorgeous. Anyways, she got us into the palace for a party that was happening. Colby, Matthew and their parents broke into the vault to get this genie lamp. My mom and I had to distract some guards to keep their attention from the vault, which was really fun, actually,” Willow said, smiling at her mom. ”Then the worst happened, and Rumple saw us. But Maddie was quick and started a fire. It caused enough chaos to get us out and kept Rumple from doing anything to us. Actually, Maddie and Colby are decent guys once you get to know them.”
A pair of guards came in, announcing they were going for a hunt if any of them wanted to join. Willow wasn’t much of a hunter, but what else was there to do? ”Do you want to go?” Willow asked Sierra, secretly hoping another offer would present itself.

”We should still exercise caution. The badies that fought and won will be here as well,” she reminded them. Bethany got the door open, and Antoinette peeked around the door to see what was in the next room. She recognized Flynn immediately. It was hard to forget someone who helped free you from hell on earth. Antoinette had at least been relatively lucky in her early capture. She had been there as long as some of the other mutants. She still thought of Flynn and Sapphire fondly.
Antoinette set Arnold on her shoulder before walking into the room. She waved at Flynn, listening to his tale and processing Edus’ words. It didn’t sound comforting. They opened another door into a long hallway, and Antoinette took a deep breath. Everyone was right. They weren’t going to get any answers on where they were or how to get home, just waiting around — time to start hunting.
Antoinette's focus shifted, and her blue eye started to glow. She saw the world a little differently for a moment as she connected to something 'other' inside her. Antoinette was feeling for other people, a direction they might be able to go in. Unfortunately, nothing was concrete beside the obvious need to leave the room.

Once in the bathroom, Ezekiel relaxed a bit. There was only a door between him and reality, but it was a barrier all the same. Ezekiel set his pack down on the counter and leaned, looking in the mirror for a moment as he recounted events. ”Well, Kel, it has certainly been an eventful year.”
He wondered what his mother would say in this situation. It was almost unbelievable. Falling for a boy, breaking a girl’s heart, who he thought he had something with, meeting a half-sibling who was more like his full sibling, and then his boyfriend being engaged… Punching a god in his face and making him bleed… Zeke smirked and went to turn on the sink.
A trickle of water came out, and then, nothing. Ezekiel frowned and tried another one, but it was no use. To make matters worse, when Zeke went to look for paper, towels or toilet paper, there was nothing. ”Of course, because why not, right?” Ezekiel wasn’t quite desperate enough to go for toilet water, but it was still an option.
Ezekiel grabbed his pack and left the men’s washroom to knock on the woman’s door. It was the 21 century with gender-neutral bathrooms; this should be fine, right? ”Hey, is there anyone in here? I just need some water to wash my face, and the men’s sinks are busted,” Zeke said with an awkward laugh.

Cassiopeia shrugged as she looked around, trying to get a better idea of just what sort of operation was going on here. The guns scared her more than the computer. Knives, arrows, and magic were one thing, but guns put the enemy on an entirely different playing field. Just then, the guard woke and ruined their cover. ”Time’s up. Let’s hope Maleficent put everything offline so we don’t need a wifi signal.” She covered Layla while she got the laptop and things packed up.
Cassiopeia notched an arrow and glanced around the room. She noticed the gas canisters and thought hitting those would be her best bet. Of course, all the ammunition in the room would blow as well. ”Hey, Dad, we could fight our way out or create one hell of an explosion,” she said and nodded towards the gas. ”The only thing is those weapons use something that is highly explosive.” She released her arrow, hitting a guard in the leg to temporarily down him.

Willow linked her arm around her mother’s, beaming at her before looking back at Sierra. She looked so much like her mother as well. ”Did you get the armies you sought?” She didn’t know how the others were doing, but she did know they could use all the help they could get.
It had been a difficult journey so far in this new world, but Willow knew the hardships were just starting. The intensity of things was just beginning. There would be many more challenges and risks in their future.

Antoinette woke to the sound of voices and snuffling in her ear. She opened her eyes, blinking rapidly to let her eyes adjust to the bright lights. Arnold continued to make snuffling sounds in her ear until she grabbed him and held him in her hands. Antoinette turned her head from side to side, seeing others in the room with her. She sat up slowly and looked around. She saw Mira and Perry from being at the mall, but there were also Bethany, Neil, Ed, and Mary. Nothing else about the room made sense.
She listened to the conversation with the others and started to grow worried. Antoinette pulled her legs in to cross them and started to pet Arnold. ”One of the people we were fighting said she was leaving with the winners, and then the pods showed up… Maybe it was some competition?”

Ezekiel wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but it wasn’t ice cream to the face. As soon as the cold snack hit his face, it started to drip and stain his shirt. He felt a finger on his cheek and opened his eyes to see Demetri liking the evidence off his finger. Thank the gods for Demetri. If he weren’t there to cut the tension, Zeke would have lost it again. As it was, he had to relax his hands again.
He smirked at Demetri and took a lick of the ice cream from his face, as well. ”Hmm, mine too,” he said. Ezekiel wiped as much ice cream off his face before reaching Burger King. ”Hey, can you get extra-large fries if they have to share?” Zeke asked Demi. ”I’m going to go clean up,” he said before disappearing into the men’s bathroom.
