Rose hugged Willow back. "Thank you. If you hadn't gotten there..." Rose trailed off. She didn't want to think about what would have happened. "Well I've got my bag and a bow." She said to Merlin, "So I'm happy. Though I'd like to have my motorcycle. Also, I need to let my boss know I'm quitting. Cause I told him if I didn't come into work tonight I had been kidnapped." Rose grinned a little. She had thought she had three days.

Rose stepped off to the side and called her boss. She spoke with him for a moment giving him reassurance that she really wasn't being kidnapped and sorry she was doing it like this but she had finally gotten a lead on her birth parents and she was going to investigate it. She apologized and quit. Then rejoined at Cass' side.

"Disbelief and then it felt right. Like it was a cloak waiting for me to put it on all along." Rose didn't know who her parents were yet, so she didn't realize how fitting her metaphor was. "Merlin, I've just quit my job so you better be as trustworthy as my friend thinks you are." She gave a slight indication that she spoke of Willow. "I suppose I should have asked this earlier, who are my parents?"

"Hey Tink, welcome to the party. You missed all the fun and fire." Colby let go of Matthew's hand. "I'm gonna grab the cats and our bags. Want to help?" He said. Colby put the sword back in the box, he had no use for it right now. And then went back to the car. He got out his bag and cat carrier. "Sorry Jack, need you to go into the carrier. I promise I'll let you out as soon as I can." He encouraged him into the carrier.

When Matthew joined Colby paused and looked at him. "Be careful, don't lose yourself in whatever happens okay, but don't let the monsters eat you." Colby's eyes were full of concern as he looked at Matthew. "You did good though." A crooked smile crossed his features. "We might find that with answers comes more questions." There was only one question Colby cared about, was a relationship with Matthew fate or chance? He hated the idea of true love. Love took work.

Niah's face was hot. It seemed everyone had heard her. That was embarrassing and the only thing she could do was just go to the bathroom and hope they'd let it drop. God, she hoped that Flynn had got what she was trying to tell him. Niah went through the motions of using the bathroom. She splashed a bit of water on her face after she finished washing her hands. Maybe it hadn't been a good idea to go back into the field.

Niah had always wanted to work in a lab, and take her skills to the field. She wanted both worlds. She wanted to make things better. After House of M she had been so broken and hurt that she just couldn't focus in the field. After Dalisy had attacked Niah realized it didn't matter if she was in a lab or the field bad things were going to happen. And she would rather be with the people she cared about providing back up then hiding in the lab and hoping she'd survive the day.

All of this was so complicated and morally ambiguous. Niah knew where she stood on the line though. She was against these laws.

"Does you're paralytic have distance? Like can you put it in an ICER?" Matt asked Kwassi. "I only ask cause one of my abilities is paralytic touch. And that has proven to work on Deadpool. The downside of course being I have to touch the person to paralyze them." Matt thought back to Christmas. Nothing was simple with this group, not even Christmas.

Matt was thankful that his power hadn't gotten more powerful or changed when he went through his second Terrigenesis. Instead, he had gotten the ability to just know how weapons worked. Matt had played with the power a little since the trip to the moon, but even still he didn't know the full extent of it. Would it work for alien tech? It had worked for the staff, but that had seemed simple. What if it was a more complex weapon.

The universe gave one very clear message: DO NOT GO THIS WAY. Andy had her own superstitions. She had survived by following her gut for so long. Everything was making it abundantly clear to her that she wasn't to go this way. She wanted this situation to end. She wanted to be away from it but there was no leaving it, only going through it. Fine so be it. Getting close to the insane woman would be an act of insanity. Andy wore a jacket with metal studs. That would be asking for her to just be pushed away like last week's garbage. But the jacket meant more to Andy than the cup of coffee neither of which she particularly wanted to part with.

Andy came back out from the alley. She could see the magnet lady flying over the destroyed Sentinal. Why weren't there just easy things for her to punch? Andy sighed considered her coffee and took another sip. Andy looked around the street trying to find something, anything that could assist.

"Hey, uh...Ice lady. I don't know if it helps you, but there is a fire hydrant there." Andy pointed at it. She hadn't seen the woman do anything with water, and apparently she could just summon ice as she pleased, but maybe if she had a bunch of water it could help her. It wasn't like Andy knew any of this group, their powers, or skill sets. Heck, she had known them what a whole thirty or so minutes. She was just guessing, and unless something that she wanted to punch was in punching distance Andy felt and was essentially useless.

Luke was processing his mortality in the shower for a few moments before he rejoined the rest of the group in dry clothing. His hair was still a little damp. Tessa shoved a cup of coffee into his hand, which he was honestly grateful for. He noticed that not everyone was in the Galley. Specifically the kid and Manny. Raynor looked irritated, which wasn't that different from what he had seen the guy look like so far. Tessa had given him a cup of coffee too, Luke could guess that she had spiked it for him. There was a palpable tension in the room.

Luke had walked in as Kyle was talking. "Well, I can't say I saw any of Them. But it was a bright light. Sort of the classic alien abduction. I don't remember talking with government spooks before. After the flash of light, it is blank up until we woke up here. So either those memories are gone, or I have none. As for the date, it was March fifteenth, 2021."

"I don't remember." Gordon said, he was frowning. "I only feel like I remember big things, not everything. There are some gaps"

Tessa seemed to suddenly have her memories return. She almost dropped the carafe of coffee, as she was heading out the door back to the Atrium to see if Manny, Noah, or even Zarina wanted some. She leaned against the wall for a moment collecting herself. Tears falling down her face and she turned to face Vinnie, "I know how we know each other. We were roommates in college for a year. I took photography and videography with you. You work for Buzzfeed, that's why you know such weird things. You do videos on it. Even after we went our separate ways I watched your videos. I have a girlfriend, Mia." Luke raised an eyebrow, he wasn't totally surprised that Tessa was at least a little gay, but he was surprised at how she rambled at Vinnie and then just added, almost nonchalantly, that she had a girlfriend. "The trees are the same ones as back home, redwood. That's why I felt connected to them. But yeah, the same thing. I was hiking. It was March fifteenth, early in the morning. I'm here, but she isn't. She was with me." Tessa added, almost as an afterthought, and then headed down the hall.

"What is the plan from here?" Luke asked those left in the Galley.

"Well Cal isn't totally wrong. Space goes by maritime law. At least according to the movie 'The Martian'." Kyle said. "I certainly don't think I have jurisdiction here. However, we have to acknowledge that Zarina remembered enough about Cal to know why she hadn't trusted her, and it is a valid reason. I think we should respect Zarina's desires and keep Cal and her apart. But even still I don't think it is fair to lock Cal up. I do believe people can change and reform." His voice was heavy and his expression was nearly unreadable but then Kyle winced and looked to Cal. "Sorry if it feels like I'm ignoring your existence in the room. I'm not. It is however obvious that both Vinnie and Zarina are not comfortable working with you, Cal. So I suggest those of us who are comfortable working with Cal stay here in the Galley and attempt to find a way out of here. Those of us who aren't comfortable with her can go back to the Atrium and try to see what we can learn there." Kyle didn't particularly look pleased. Luke didn't know what was bothering the cop. If Luke didn't know that Kyle had already gotten all his memories back he would think the guy was starting to remember something.

Atrium

Zarina could feel the water around her pull at the rope until it was loose. Manny thought she was coming back through the pipe toward him. Had she reached the end of what she could find?

Noah also had most of his memories returned. His heart broke. His older brother was dead, murdered, and the culprit had never been found. Noah had just tried to get on with his life and had gotten into science to explain the universe. That was why his head was filled with numbers, it put everything in its place. He didn't notice Tessa until she handed him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you." He said and saw that her face was still a little damp. "It was a cruel thing that They did taking our memories. Allowing us a brief respite from our demons and then it all coming back in one blow." He shook his head. "Now I know the faces and names of all I left behind and those who had left before."

Dalisy sighed, well so much for the time to take a shower or anything. She'd never get a good seat if she spent the time changing even. Dalisy stood up and joined the chaotic fray of people shoving for a spot on the elevator. Whoever thought a single elevator for all of Valhalla was a good idea needed to be flayed.

Making her to the elevator and onto it was a surprisingly easy feat. Finally, she had a way to burn off some of the growing stress. She pushed her way and even took someone's legs out from underneath him, but she got a spot. That didn't always happen, each day seemed a toss of the dice. Now she just had to keep the spot. She made sure she wasn't the closest to the door before it opened again. That could at least keep her on it long enough to get close to the Hall.

Ed nodded that made sense. Of course, as they discussed how much chaos could happen in the Mansion Bethany walked over and informed them of the next round of chaos. Ed looked at the letter. At least for him, he was fine with the pairing. Annie was one of his more favorite people in the Mansion. She had picked up that he liked crows and had a few times let him know when they were active on the property. He gave Mira a look of sympathy as she ranted about being paired with Iris. He considered offering to exchange partners but what he knew enough about Loki to know that would be a really bad idea.

"Well. I suppose lead the way." Ed said to Bethany. He took a drag of his cigarette, careful to exhale away from either Bethany or Mira. Then put it out, it wasn't finished so he put what was left of it back in the pack. Ed put the whole pack in his pocket. "While this will be a more extreme version of any board game I played with my family I can say I'm okay at them." He tried to give off an air of confidence, which was oddly more possible around people as young as these. Gods he felt old, and he was only thirty. An old song line crossed his mind and he smiled at the memory.

Niah laughed at Nancy's antics. She knew Nancy wasn't humble, but her actions were just so over the top it could only be funny. Niah nodded and followed behind Nancy triple checking the knots. She felt like they were as sturdy as they were going to get them. "Okay, get in." She said and climbed into the boat herself. Niah sat down in the raft. Her heart was thumping.

Once Nancy and Mads had both climbed into the boat and comfortable Niah took a deep breath. She focused on the armor and getting lift, for a moment it was wobbly. Niah winced. She slowed her breathing down a bit more and relaxed emptying her mind. The raft stabilized. "Okay, where to? Straight to Mount Rushmore? Or land on a Macdonalds or something?" She asked as the after lifted more into the air. "Also Mads, up to you to keep us unseen from mortal eyes."

"All I can do is shock things. You can turn into animals and people that's super cool!" Andy told her brother. Then he was shocked by one of the Venti. Andy had been surprised she could hurt the Venti because they were made of storm and lightning and her power was just the lightning. "Hey! That's my brother you're hurting." She yelled at the spirit. "Stop it!" She stamped her foot down on the ground. Angry at the creatures for hurting her brother and friends.

Andy reached out and pulled as if a rope was in front of her. When she did some of the lightning that was inside the Venti that had hurt her brother came out of it. Her eyes went wide startled. She hadn't expected it to work. Quickly she changed the direction of the lightning so it hit another Venti. Neither fell, but she could tell she had done a lot of damage to the second one. Andy was stunned by how well it had worked. That wasn't something that she could do for another creature necessarily, but it worked really well for the storm spirits.

Emily considered making a joke about Marco being a lover, not a fighter, but she held her tongue as the Preator's explained what was happening. She did agree with Marco she had no idea if her power of madness would work against a Titan. "Honestly, from what I know about Atlas it might be better to cure him than curse him if my power could even work on a Titan." She shrugged slightly.

"I feel like my power would work on him." Niah said after tilting her head to think a moment. "My mother's works on all the gods so why not a Titan. Though the gods are more likely to survive I swear on pain of death than mortals." She shrugged. Her mother wasn't even completely a Roman god. It was complicated. Lupa had accepted her though so her ability should work.

"So when should we leave? Think we can get it done before the Greeks get here? Or wait till they get here and organize then?" Emily asked. She was excited about meeting the Greek kids. Sure, there were always tensions between the two groups but they had to be an interesting bunch. They were similar to the Romans. And Emily liked focusing on similarities to make her friends.

"Personally I think we should go immediately. If we are quick about it we can probably get there and back before the Greeks land. They estimated three days, and Mount Tam isn't too far." Niah said, giving her opinion. She sat back in her chair and sipped at her drink. "We have less we have to do here now that the war isn't coming to our temple." She still wished it was because at least they'd be on their home turf, and wouldn't have to literally go into the Pit.

Niah didn't blame Baptiste, heck she wished she could do the same thing, but the path she was choosing was a more subtle one. She followed after Bonnie into the hallway with the others. She wondered if she should say it now, or wait till she thought they were in a place without cameras that SHIELD controlled, at least on the Quinjet, though Niah knew that wasn't totally safe. Niah was considering treason and she wasn't even an American Citizen.

As she moved past Flynn she wanted to say something to let him know that she was, shockingly, on his side. That she agreed with him. That he would understand, but no one else would. He was the only person left on the team who remembered the Age of Ultron, everyone else had been replaced by a Skrull. That was an uncomfortable thought. Raynor and Carter had both been with her, but they were gone. Missing or worse.

"Flynn," She paused she had no idea what she could say to him. Her voice was soft. There was only one thing she could think she could say to him that he might be able to guess what she meant but no one else would catch. "I'm going to use the bathroom." It was what she had said before leaving him and the others behind to talk to Pym. She hoped that Flynn would remember that, that he would remember it had been her way of splitting from the group to get things done. To save the world. Niah glanced at Maria who was standing near Flynn, but she shouldn't get it. It should be nonsensical to anyone else, more importantly to SHEILD.

Niah didn't give him a chance to respond, she kept moving toward the hanger. It had to be a passing comment. It couldn't lead to conversation. Flynn had to figure out what she meant, if he did that was good, if not well maybe they'd laugh about how stupid it had been later.

"Cass can fly the quinjet to DC at least. We can worry about a pilot later." He looked to Sparky, "Or we can find our original." He hadn't quite cared for Raynor, the guy was more unapproachable than Flynn. However, he didn't understand why SHIELD hadn't let them start looking. There had to be some leads. It sort of reminded him how SHIELD had written off Sparky and Ryanor when they ended up in the quantum realm. He hadn't been there for that, but he had learned about it.

Matt continued on to the Hanger. He didn't hear Niah say she was going to use the bathroom. Matt was thinking of tactics and how they could hope to have a chance against Captain America. If he could get close enough to touch his skin then maybe they'd be able to bring in a paralyzed Captain America. A shot from one of the ICERs might slow Rogers down enough for Matt to get into range.

A lot was happening. A girl jumped from the flying car. There were a lot of people in the air and Andy couldn't help or hurt any of them. That was all the action that was happening too, it was all up in the air. That was until Sentinels appeared.

With the appearance of the Sentinels, Andy decided it was time to get the heck out of there. She was technically not going out the back of the Starbucks, which is what the barista had told her would lead to certain death. She wasn't even convinced that the lady who she had been told to go with was going to survive.

The Sentinels, if they caught Andy, would take her to a few possible places, and none of them were places she wanted to go. Best case she'd end up back in the system and off to yet another foster home. Worst case she'd be in Super-Max. Neither option was something she wanted. She hated, and honestly feared, being put into another foster home more than anything else.

As cool as it was that the girl with the green hair had apparently taken control over the Sentinels and it was funny to watch one of them dance, Andy didn't dare risk sticking around. She sipped her coffee trying to look like a confused patron of Starbucks that just got caught up in the chaos and started walking around the edge of the chaos to an alley she saw. It looked safe, and that was good enough for her. She had gotten too involved in a bunch of strangers business. The offer of a warm bed wasn't enough to keep her around.
