Kade lept through the portal as it closed behind him. His aunt, Elenore West, came out of the front door. She moved slowly, was frail, even frailer than she had been since Lundy's death. Kade's heart dropped knowing soon she would find her door and return home. Leaving him in charge of the school.

Sumi skipped over to her and took Elenore's hands gently. She whispered to her, and the pair stood apart, tears on Sumi's eyes. She didn't bother to wipe them.

Christopher, holding his flute tightly went inside. The storm was almost completely gone now. The other students that had stayed behind greeted him or spilled outside. They asked dozens of questions. Bombarding them all with them. The loudest asking where Hannah was. Christopher didn't answer.


Time: +3 hrs
Location: Space, a very far way from Earth







Group breakdown


Kyle (9) & Cal (8) - Search room 1
Sophia (4) & Vinnie (12) - Search room 5
Manny (6) & Luke (10) - Search room 4
Tessa (2) & Noah (7) - Search room 6

Z (11) & Raynor(1) & Gordon (5)(chilling in the galley being awesome)





Location: Galley -> Room 4
Skill: N/A




Manny checked with the group. No one had found anything theory breaking, or confirming. They all found pictures or cameras or other such small items if anything at all. It seemed that they either had their item that they had found in their drawer with them, or had left it behind. Those items were all small simple and appeared to have a lot of meaning to whoever had been in that room. Why take their memories but leave them with an item that seemed to want to bring those memories back?

Luke and Manny went into room four. Manny, determined to find something, anything, searched the room more thoroughly than the last. Even going so far as to stand on the dresser and see if something maybe had been put in the vent. He couldn't reach it from the top of the dresser that was bolted into the wall, but it gave him a good view of nothing.

"Whoever set this up..." He trailed off climbing off of the dresser. "I don't know what the end game is. Things are contradictory. It seems like they are leaving clues for us to get our memories back, but at the same time making it impossible for us to do anything. Like that machine has tons of stuff available in it, but no screwdriver, unless you'd rather drink it. Like Raynor seems to be into." Not that anyone blamed Raynor. Getting drunk seemed like the right thing to do in all honesty. "We've got one more round of searching. Hopefully, we find something in the last three rooms."





Location: Galley -> Room 6
Skill: N/A





Before Tessa left the galley again to go to room six Tessa stopped Vinnie. "This is going to sound weird, I have no proof obviously, but there is something about your camera that feels familiar. I held it in my hands when we searched your room and it felt like a memory was trying to surface. I couldn't get it to though." Tessa was about to ask Vinnie a question but Noah called her name.

"Come on Tessa let's get this finished."

"Talk to you later." Tessa said and hurried after Noah.

Despite what felt like a very thorough search of room six Noah and Tessa didn't find anything. Tessa was starting to think this whole thing was useless. They shouldn't even be bothering anymore. As far as she was concerned Kyle had found the one clue they had any hope to find.

Galley Group


Gordon went over to the machine and was playing around with some settings on it. He frowned as he found a buried menu. "Zarina. I think you'll find this interesting." He pointed at the machine with the new menu pulled up. It looked like it was a fabrication page. If someone put in the specs for something they could make it. "I think the machine is a replicator. Like from Star Trek." He didn't remember watching the show or learning what a replicator was, but when he looked at the machine and realized what it was capable of it was the only word his brain supplied. At least that was in English.

Niah Bautista





Location: Amtrak train -> Fargo, North Dakota
Skills: Mist



Niah followed Madalyne's instructions. She was able to get a couple of dollar bills to appear on the table but quickly made them disappear. She thought of the implications of what she had just done and wondered if any demi-god had done that. Made fake money with the Mist. She frowned. The rest of the trip she just played around with it a little bit. She seemed to be getting the hang of it. More than Nancy had.

Finally, they were in Fargo. Niah made sure they had all of their stuff and stepped off the train with a sigh. She was relieved to be off of the train. The trip had been so far straightforward, and now they were looking for trouble. "Maybe we should ask for directions. I don't know anything about Fargo, let alone North Dakota." There were disadvantages to being a foreigner.






Location: George Washington University
Skills:





It was cold. Andy wasn't wearing a warm enough jacket. She just had the leather jack that Jamie had given her for her birthday. Andy frowned thinking of him hurt still, and she doubted it would never stop hurting. Jamie had been like a father to her. She didn't have the paperwork to prove they were going to adopt her. That was lost when the shop had been lost.

She shivered, less from the cold and more from the memories. Andy couldn't do anything about the memories, but she could at least get out of the cold. She saw the poster advertising free food and coffee. Caffeine. Sweet blessed caffeine. She changed the direction she was headed to make her way to the event. Andy didn't particularly care about the event itself, but she was not going to snub her nose at free coffee. Especially if it was hot.

Andy didn't care for DC. It was cold, and there was a heavy presence of drama. The Purifiers were in force here. And those guys scared her. She wasn't certain how organized they were if they were she worried that maybe word of her had gotten from Rochester to here. Her time running from the school had made her hate staying in one place for too long. She had let herself settle in Rochester and it had lost her the first people who had ever actually loved her.

To top that off DC had those scan things where walking through would set off an alarm letting everyone in earshot know she was a mutant. At least those scanners were mostly in the high-end places, and she avoided those anyway. Lastly, DC was where she had been when the disease hit. At least she hadn't caught it so it wasn't obvious she was a mutant if she kept to herself. Her power was only obvious when she got into a fight (and used it). She had been careful since Rochester and avoided getting into fights as best she could. But Andy knew herself well enough to know that could only last so long.

The tension was high in DC. There had been so many incidents that had hit the news that had started in DC. It made sense though. DC is the Capitol. She didn't know what side she felt more for. She had been a mutant almost as long as she could remember, so she had been scared and hiding almost as long. Andy longed for a day when she didn't have to hide who she was when she could just be herself. But Jamie and Ash had taught her that other people mattered. Other people could care and love each other over the divide of human or mutant. Heck, they hadn't even known Andy was a mutant, at least at first. Jamie figured it out when he was teaching her self-defense. But he never made a big deal about it. He just sat her down and had Ash show her what she could do.

Andy tried not to cry as she thought about them, but she failed, her make-up was now ruined. She wiped her eyes and scanned the crowd. Making sure no one was paying attention to her. She liked being near the college campus, even though she wasn't old enough, or enrolled in the school, or anywhere near smart enough to be if she had wanted to anyway, most people didn't look at her twice. She blended in better here. And blending in was important. She needed to find a bathroom to fix her make-up. The building with the event probably had one. She could duck in there, clean up her face, and then get coffee.

Her attention stopped on the man with the night vision looking goggles, and a knife. A part of her brain said 'fight him, you could take him' another part, the Jamie part, said 'Get out of there, he has a knife don't be stupid'. She followed the Jamie part. And ducked into the hall she had been heading for. Andy knew he had seen her, but maybe she could disappear in the building. She hated crowds, but sometimes they worked to her advantage, and maybe she'd get lucky and he wouldn't follow her into the woman's bathroom.




Location: Hotel Valhalla: Feast Hall of the Slain -> Floor 12
Skill: N/A





Dalisy nodded that was a good idea. Maybe the leg. Those had really important blood vessels in them and people tended to bleed out quickly when they had that cut. Or maybe lower so the bleed out was slower. The pair of them made their way to the elevator. At Arnora's question, she snorted.

"None yet, except what you see here, but the day is still young." Dalisy said and pointed at the obvious bruises. Her rib still hurt so it was likely it was broken, which would make the rapids that much more entertaining, and dangerous. She would have to push through the pain to survive. The rapids were already bone breakingly dangerous. This would add some fun to it.

She nodded at the Einherjar exiting the elevator, before taking up their vacated spots. Even though the Hotel was massive they were quickly at the right level. Dalisy grinned looking at the stomach-dropping drops and obstacles. At least death came with entertaining pastimes.





Location: Dumbledore's Office Ravenclaw Common Room: Fifth Year Girl's Dorms
Magic: Pocket Sneakoscope



Mary was slightly worried when Dumbeldore said he wouldn't wave any detention. If she received one for the incident on the train it would be her first one. She cringed at the idea. And the letter from her dad. He wouldn't be mad, no, of course not, just disappointed. But that was for later she supposed.

"Thank you, Professor." Mary said as she stood up to leave. She glanced back at Artie, he would deal with the memory. She shivered at the memory of the flash she had seen. Mary hated her mind being intruded on by either of the twins, but she had understood why Artie had done that.

She waved goodbye to her friends, knowing they would see each other later. Mary flinched slightly when Fawkes burst into flame, mostly from surprise, and partially from an old memory of her mother that resurfaced with the fire. She shoved it away quickly. That was not something she wanted to think about.

She exited Dumbeldore's office and made her way to the Ravenclaw common room, she did walk slowly to hopefully give Apollo time to catch up, but it appeared he was dragging his feet. She got to the door and was given her riddle. "I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but come alive with the wind. What am I?" Mary paused thinking for a moment. At first, she wanted to say a windchime, but the no body part ruled that out, also what windchime could hear? Then it clicked. "An echo." She said and the door opened for her.

Mary made her way quickly to the dorm room to change. Hoo-dini wasn't there so he must be in the owlery. Once changed she returned to the common room to wait for Apollo. They had so much to talk about. It would be best if all of them could get together, but the twins and Mary needed to decide how they were going to talk about everything that had happened around Georgina. At least her friend had forgiven her for her comment.



Rose Buckner


Location: Ranger station -> Trail Head
Skills: N/A





Rose was torn. She wanted to help and put out the fire. A forest fire could devastate the area. And, her mind flashed to the worst possible option, she could be trapped behind the fire. Bobby did seem to have a handle on it, but she couldn't just leave it. She dashed back inside and grabbed the fire extinguisher from inside the station.

Once back outside next to the truck Rose pulled the pin and aimed the hose at the fire. Nothing happened. She thwacked it and still nothing. The fire extinguisher was jammed. "Sorry Bobby. I tired." She said, angry and upset. Today had just been a string of bad luck it seemed. She didn't know how else to help, and she wasn't on the clock here at the ranger station so it wasn't technically something she needed to worry about. Oh, she definitely was worried about it still.

"Let's get out of the way Sierra." She said and went back to her friend. "I feel in the way. The other rangers will take care of it and a fire truck will come if they need." Rose started back to the start of the trailhead where her bike was. At least AAA should be there shortly.




Colby Jackson


Location: Car -> Merlin's warehouse
Skills: N/A





Colby blinked confused. Matthew had kissed him. He didn't even hear the kid telling them they needed a room. Or rather it just didn't matter. "Oh." He said softly. He was impressed. Colby knew, well had had a good idea, that Matthew had liked him. He hadn't realized how much. And he hadn't realized how much he apparently liked Matthew back. The kiss made his heart flutter, which was not what he expected. Colby was a guarded person. He didn't like people. Was this because of who they were? Who their parents were? Was this real?

He cleared his throat. "Yeah, let's go inside. We need some answers." Colby needed to know. He hadn't been joking when he had told Matthew not to trust even him. Now that was even more true. If what they were feeling for each other was because of some stupid fairy tale rule he wouldn't allow it to happen. He wouldn't do that to Matthew, or himself.

Colby got out of the car, locked it once Matthew was out, and started toward the warehouse. The Hood sisters were here, and he nodded at them. There were a fair amount of other people around their age there too. He didn't recognize any of them other than the Hood sisters. Tink wasn't there, which made Colby a little nervous about the situation.


Andy


Location: The Galley
Skill:





Andy's jaw dropped, but she quickly closed it. She had a family. Hecate had confirmed it. Andy had no idea what she was supposed to look up in the records. She didn't even have a name to go by. The name Phillips was just one the system had given her. Heck, her first name probably wasn't actually Andy. But if Hecate was right, then she had a family at the Roman camp who might know. Or know who her mortal mother was. Andy had never really wanted to meet her mortal mother, she had wanted family, but not the person who had dumped her before she could even talk.

Andy was considering asking Hecate for advice on what to look for when Mona came into the room. The next few seconds went by so quickly Andy didn't even realize what had happened at first. Mona was there, then she was fish, and then the fish had been eaten by the weird gassy animal of Hecate's. Arthur bolted from the room. A lot of emotions went through Andy all at once. She wanted to fight Hecate, wanted to bring back the friend of Arthur's. She wanted to ask what more information Hecate could give her about her own family. More importantly, she wanted to be there for Arthur.

Andy looked between Rebecca and Hecate and then ran after Arthur. The only place he could go to be alone was his room so she went there first. She knocked gently. "Arthur, can I come in?" Her voice was quiet, but hopefully loud enough for him to hear.




Niah Bautista





Location: New Rome - the Senate House -> the Augury
Skills:



Niah gave Ortega a warm smile and a quick wave to the baby. She would have to find some time before the Greeks showed up to shower the baby in love. Niah had no desire for children of her own, but she did adore babies. Niah considered what she needed to do and decided to find out more information about what they potentially facing was more important than either squeezing the baby's cheeks (it didn't help that Leandra was already playing with them).

"The Greeks are on their way. It seems like we have another Great Prophecy. I'm going with the Praetors to find out as much as I can about what we are expecting so I can get some war games set up to train the cohorts accordingly. I do need to play with your new little one as soon as possible. So if you need an hour or something I'd love to watch them for you. Just let me know." She said and then hurried after the Praetors to the Augury.

She arrived just in time to hear Nancy talking about the painting. Niah looked at the gem, her mind flashing to the danger that they had gone through to get it back. They had been told it was very important back then. She supposed this might be why. A war was being fought with it at the center of it all. "Where are there temples to Apollo? Other than here? Or, what if it is moved?" Niah had been thinking about having a couple of tunnels built that went to the temple, but now she worried it wouldn't help at all.



Niah Bautista





Location: Amtrak train
Skills:



"Probably shouldn't make a habit of it." Niah said about Nancy forcing a prophecy and then followed onto the train. She slumped into her seat. Thankful they had gotten a chance for fresh air and good stretch. "Oh gods I love the chicken fries. Dip them in mustard. That's the best." She knew it was a little weird to dip it into mustard but she preferred it.

Niah put her sketchbook on the table. "Okay, I'm not great at geography. Or whatever would be required to know that rivers appearing randomly cannot be good for the local populace. Though, the mist might keep it hidden or something." Niah's eyes lit up. "That's right, you were going to show us how to control the mist. Get to teaching. We've got hours to go before Fargo." She grinned at Madalyne.
