Location: Hallway outside Roger's apartment -> Roger's apartment
Skills: Sense enhancement - sight; jack of all trades science; Forensic science; Psychometry





Niah was impressed when Bonnie picked the lock with a scale. Picking locks wasn't easy with the right tools, not having the correct ones had to make it even more difficult. Once the door was open she stepped into the apartment, unworried that Rogers would be there. She just pointed to the window where Rogers had gone out. "I think he is just enjoying jumping out windows." At least she hadn't had to lie about his location. Niah didn't know where he was, but she did know who he had spoken to last.

"Going to focus on my sight. I'll be deaf." Niah informed the group. She hadn't put her glove back on and was prepared to touch his cell phone if she found it by chance. Her senses shifted and she was deaf, but the world swirled in her vision. She could see the air flowing through the room and dust settling. Some old dust had been disturbed. Something in Captain America's closet had been removed. It was large and bulky.

She also found his phone and a laptop. She let her fingers brush over it lightly. The phone gave her the same image of the phone call with Tony Stark she had already seen when she touched the door. They were fighting. The laptop gave her an address in Queens. That must be where he had gone from here. There was no way she could keep this stuff from the group. Oliver would have to check them out.

"Oliver, tech here for you." Was Oliver firmly in Hill's camp? If he wasn't already knowing that Stark was probably would push him there. She was just guessing that was what they were even fighting about. Niah wasn't certain cause she didn't get the whole conversation. Could she do this?

"I think he grabbed a bug-out bag from the closet. It has been disturbed." She said letting her senses return to normal. Anything said while she had been focusing would not have been heard by her.







Location: Outside Agent 13's apartment -> Agent 13's apartment
Skills:





The door opened slowly after the deadbolt was undone, revealing a tall and slender blonde woman - Agent 13. No one present would know her real name. Some agents went by codenames exclusively. For instance, Tony Stark’s daughter went by Starkette during her brief run as a SHIELD agent, not wanting the attention of being Iron Man’s daughter. Agent 13 looked like she was expecting them and she opened the door the rest of the way. “Come on in, agents.”

"Thank you." Matt said smiling and entering the apartment. "I'm Agent Moss. I understand you're observing Rogers? Do you have anything that might assist us in locating him?" Matt wasn't going to go into why they were looking for Rogers. They had been told to keep this mission on the down-low as much as possible.

Location: Argo III Upper Deck
Skill: n/a





Andy was hungry so when she was told she could get dinner she did so quickly. She was excited to get to be on the watch. Andy didn't know what all that included, except that she would be watching for monsters. Her dinner was mac & cheese and some garlic bread, and of course, her drink was apple juice. Andy smiled at Arthur. She was worried about him, he seemed upset about something. Andy guessed it might because of Mona, but she couldn't be certain.

"Thank you." She told Alannah. "Where do you want me to be on the deck?" Once Alannah told her, she went to the station and ate her food while watching the sky for any other monsters that might decide a boat full of demi-god kids seemed like a good snack. Andy wondered how many other monsters there were that could take to the sky.








Location: Camp Jupiter: New Rome, Coffee Shop -> Senate Building
Skills:



Niah's face contorted into a grimace. She did not like the idea of live animals being slaughtered for the purpose of prophecies. "I just think she's overly happy to be doing it." Niah shrugged. "It can't be normal." Niah took her seat at the Senate table. She could only hope this went quickly. If only a few of the Senators showed up they'd be able to push the trip through and get going before it was even two.

"Yeah, just remember fun adventures for us tend to mean life-threatening situations. Cursed items. And probably at least one near-death experience, or actual death of a friend." Niah was suddenly feeling very dour and she couldn't place her finger on why. "Sorry, probably a bit darker than necessary."








Location: Camp Jupiter: New Rome, Coffee Shop -> The Augery
Skills: Roman History



Emily's shoulders relaxed a bit when the Preators and Niah left and they split off and headed toward the Augery. It wasn't the Preators personally that were an issue. Emily was fine with both Madalyne and Nancy. It was their office. Emily did have an issue with authority on principle. That had been a given with her childhood, but she had made strides to not being a shithead. Authority figures still made her a little nervous though. She hoped that during the quest she'd be able to relax and forget that they were the Preators. Also, Niah was just such a square. She shook her head slightly laughing to herself and then entered the Augery.

Her smile dropped as she looked at the painting that Alexandra had done. Gods, they hadn't been joking. The painting was a terrifying future. One they would have to face. Emily didn't know what her role would be in that, and hopefully, Alexandra would be able to shed some light on that. Speaking of Alexandra she was curled up on the floor in a mess of stuffed animal remains.

Emily looked back at the painting trying to figure out what it meant. She was no prophet, but she knew enough Roman History that she might be able to find common threads of information.






Rose Buckner


Location: The warehouse
Skills:





Rose had not expected Red Riding Hood as her mother. She looked at her tattoos on her wrists. On one wrist was a wolf, the other was a rose. She snorted a small laugh. She only knew the old tale of Red Riding Hood. She had been eaten by a wolf, but she had spent her whole life loving wolves. Interesting. At Cass's comment, Rose smiled brightly. "I have my backpack and my riding jacket. I'm like the cooler version of the classic tale."

"Oh, uh, I took this bow without permission. May I keep it?" Rose asked Merlin. She had a bow at her house, but she wasn't getting a chance to go home. She watched as Cass and a few others were dealing with cats in carriers, or in two cases cats just sitting calmly on the shoulder of two guys. The ones she had seen holding hands earlier. "Also, if we're going to be working all together should we do introductions. I don't know most of you."




Colby Jackson


Location: The warehouse
Skills:





"I think Tink is just grumpy cause she lost her job. We're all going back, what is she gonna do now?" Colby shrugged. Jack climbed up onto his own shoulder. "Just cause Carroll did huh?" He asked and scratched Jack's chin. Colby started heading back inside the warehouse with his bag over his shoulder. "I hope we get some breathing room."

Colby paused in his walking toward the warehouse and smiled at Maddie. "We'll be fine." He reached over and pet Carroll and then let his hand rest on Maddie's shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. "We've got this." He was worried about Maddie. "I'll protect you. I've gotten into my fair amount of fights."

He took a deep breath and then walked into the warehouse. He looked at the girl in the red jacket as she was asking for introductions. "I'm Colby. Chesire cat is my dad."

"Rose, apparently my mom is Little Red Riding Hood." Colby snorted at that. It made sense the girl wore a red jacket and had a red backpack on. She looked like she probably rode motorcycles.





Location: Hotel Valhalla: Elevator -> Feast Hall of the Slain
Skill: Super Sight





Dalisy sighed a small breath of relief as she exited the elevator. She saw Elizabeth and poked her in the side lightly. "Hey Beth. Find any trouble today?" She asked, mostly as a joke. It was not the first time she had said it to her. "You'll find there may be rumors about me gaining something resembling kindness as I didn't drown Lara in the river today. Unfortunately, they are true."

Dalisy, wondering if Arnora had beat her to the Hall and had already found a seat, let her power from her Father look for her. Arnora was up at the go-carts with Klara, Nadia, and some girl Dalisy didn't recognize. "Weird." She said half under her breath. "Anyway, want to sit with me for dinner?" She asked Beth, before finding a seat. There was room if Beth decided to sit with her.

Location: Atrium
Skill: N/A




"Shit" Manny said. He held the dripping wet end of the rope that had been tied to Zari. Tessa looked over at him standing at the mouth of the pipe that was the source of the lake water. She stood and patted Noah on the shoulder leaving him alone to stare up at the space sky. "Someone has to go after her." Manny added looking over at those in the Atrium. "I can't fit." He looked concerned, which was, as far as Tessa was concerned, an understatement for how she felt.

Tessa walked over to the pipe and look at its size. There weren't a lot of them that could fit through the pipe, and more worrisome was the nearly ice-cold water pouring out of it. A fear gripped Tessa as she looked into the pipe that she for a moment couldn't place her finger on. She found herself taking several steps back. "I can't do it. I'm sorry." Her eyes were wide. "When I was little I almost drowned."

That was an oversimplification of what happened, but it had scared her in more ways than just a fear of drowning. It didn't help that she had watched Luke almost drown and he was a good swimmer. Her mind flashed to the photo in her room. The one of the woman with the burned face. Now she knew why.

Noah stayed where he was. He didn't even seem to be paying attention to the group at the pipe, just sipped at his coffee thinking.

Galley


"Maybe it means more that a cop is willing to stay." Kyle offered Cal as some form of condolences.

"I can make a cake." Gordon offered.

Luke sipped at his coffee that Tessa had given him. At first, he didn't say anything but leaned against the table, eventually, he shrugged. "There is the place where the Roomba came from. We can check out that hole. It is pretty small though."






Location: Quinjet -> Roof of Steve Rogers' Apartment Building -> Hallway outside Roger's apartment
Skills: Psychometry





Niah had found a spot not near Flynn to sit. She was still red in the face a little at how many people had heard her. She had no idea if Flynn had understood. As she sat on the Quinjet in silence during their flight her hand went to where she had once worn a necklace. Niah hadn't gotten around to replacing it. For the longest time, it had been the only necklace she ever wore. It was odd not wearing it anymore. At least she knew her sister was still alive. That made the lack of necklace comforting in its own weird way now.

Now they were being split up, which might be a good thing. If Flynn was able to keep things - Niah cut off that thought. Flynn keeping things under control was laughable. Niah was glad Cass had reinforced no lethal force. Though she did know Matt was capable of killing with his paralytic touch. He had seen him almost kill Cass.

"Let me go first. I'll touch the door handle and see if he has been here recently." Niah requested. When they got to his apartment she removed her glove. This was the most she had used this power in one day in a long time. She considered that she could lie when she touched the handle and say he hadn't gotten there yet (if he had), or that she saw him leaving if he was there. Maybe say it loud enough so if he was home Rogers would hear her and go out a window again.

Niah touched the door handle and she got a few flashes of Rogers. She turned to Cass. "He has already come and gone." She had a lead with what she had seen, but she didn't know if she should let the group know. Niah put her glove back on.







Location: Quinjet -> Roof of Steve Rogers' Apartment Building -> Outside Agent 13's apartment
Skills:





Matt nodded as Agent Asokho explained his paralytic dart. It often helped if someone was distracting a target he needed to paralyze if he was doing it when they were unwilling. "That works." He nodded at the guy's plan. Matt considered making a joke about plans never working for their group anyway. Anytime they made one someone seemed to die, or all their gifts were stolen by Deadpool for some reason. He decided against it.

When they arrived at the apartment he nodded at Cass's plan. It made sense. Rogers was less likely to freak out if it was women agents who showed up at his house, and Oliver didn't look threatening. He was no Ops, but he had talent, and would probably be underestimated by Rogers. Rogers probably was nervous at the moment. The ladies of Secret Warriors were something to be reckoned with too.

Matt knocked politely on Agent 13's door. It would be best if he took point with her. Flynn was, well Flynn. And Asokho was new. He barely was out of the academy by Matt's guess.




Location: George Washington University: the main street
Skills: Electrokinsis





"My name isn't sparky." Andy said to the flamboyant guy. He was weird. Well, most of the group was weird. She rolled her eyes and headed over the van that he had vacated. She popped the hood of the van. Andy had never done this before so she wasn't certain if it would even work. She lifted the hood and put the catch so it wouldn't fall on her head. Andy squinted at the engine and other mechanical bits. There was a good chance that she would destroy the car if she overdid it.

She did know that it was the battery that needed energy. Hmmm, she considered as she sipped her coffee. Thankful that she had stolen it. Then popped the covers off the battery and set the coffee on the ground. Andy put one index finger on each of the leads of the battery. She let out a little zap. And then leaned over and tried to start the car. Nothing happened. So a larger zap was needed. She tried again this time letting out a bigger amount of electrical energy that always flowed through her.

When she turned over the engine it worked this time. "Hey, Justin Beiber! I fixed it." There was a bit of pride in her voice. She closed the hood of the van and picked her coffee back up. "I can't drive though so someone else has to get behind the wheel." Was the offer to join them still on the table? Ice lady hadn't used the water from the fire hydrant.


Ed Penior




Location: Xavier's Institute - the Living Room
Skills: Thamaturgy: Shield


Alright, Ed decided as the group gathered around the board this was going to be interesting. He picked up the Metallic Elephant and showed it to Annie hoping she would be alright with the choice. He wished there had been a crow, but that was life he supposed, you didn't always get what you preferred. He did feel bad for those paired with people they didn't get along with. He couldn't imagine how he would put up with being paired with Guin.

He placed the piece on a starting square. The mosquitoes could be a serious issue. He frowned and pulled from his pocket a small metal shield that he carried for when he needed the component. He whispered a quick phrase in a made-up language and a shield snapped up around the group. "That will keep the mosquitoes out, hopefully. And if we move then we can take the shield with us."



Niah Bautista





Location: The Sky - Fargo, North Dakota
Skills: Armor Control



Niah nodded and concentrated controlling the armor to start flying toward Mount Rushmore. "I vote we eat there. I'm sure we can get there quickly this way. I agree that it is probably better to just get there. If we get there fast enough it'll be the middle of the night and probably closed, which means fewer mortals to worry about."

After that Niah faced the direction they were heading to keep an eye on the sky. Hoping there weren't going to be any Venti or other flying monsters that made the rest of the trip annoying. She did want to eat before they headed into the Mountain she had no desire to go into a dragon's lair without food in her belly. If it was after hours they could probably just sneak into a food shack on site. They could leave one of the necklaces they found or something as payment, but it would keep them from being questioned.

Location: the ground -> Argo III Upper Deck
Skill: n/a





And then like that the fight was over. The adrenaline that was coursing through Andy's veins slowed down. She was breathing heavily her face flushed with excitement. Unlike Arthur, she enjoyed fighting. She had spent too much of her time running from monsters it felt good to defeat them. To stand shoulder to shoulder with people she cared about and know that she had a chance to win.

Andy smiled at Arthur. "That was cool that you can make your knife fly around like that." She told him as they climbed back onto the Argo three. She watched as Demi drank the nectar, she had had it before so she knew it would help him like it had with her broken arm. "Feel better?" She asked him. "It tasted like apple juice to me." She told him.








Location: New Rome - Coffee shop

Emily glanced at Marco as he expressed that he thought Nancy wasn't the 'date people' type of person. She agreed. In her not-yet-professional opinion, Nancy had zero desire for anything resembling a romantic relationship. She wasn't surprised when Nancy expressed her disdain for it.

"Makes sense." Niah said in response to Mads. She was sighing as she stood up. "Of course the Senate is going to have a fit though at being recalled again today." She could just imagine Leandra adjusting time-tables in her notebook again. Niah took a sip of her tea. She liked to drink it slowly and savor it.

"I personally wonder if there is something wrong with Alexandra with as much joy as she seems to get from gutting stuffed animals. Think one wronged her as a child?" Emily then tilted her head thinking. "Pack extra underwater and socks though. Those are always important to have extras of on a quest." What was nice about the whole apocalypse coming is those ignored college applications wouldn't be giving her the side-eye for ignoring them.

"Well if there is something wrong with Alexandra maybe you can fix it?" Niah offered hopefully. Emily only shrugged. Niah also wondered if Emily had tried fixing whatever was wrong with Leandra. Though Niah was no professional maybe Leandra has OCD or something?

"I prefer helping give people tools to help themselves rather than just 'fixing' them. It works better that way." Emily explained. She stood up at that point. "Alright, let's go. Babe you'll have to eat as we walk."
