Location: The hall outside Agent 13's apartment
Skills: Pistols





Niah could hear that Oliver had a fight down a floor or two, and Cass was then telling someone to step away from the body. She tensed up. Was Oliver dead? She wanted to head down there and find out what was going on, but there was a whole lot going on their floor still. Cass could handle herself. But she looked at Matt, "Something wrong is going on downstairs. I think Oliver is down." She did not expect what Matt did next.

Matt bolted down the hall. The Younger was heading for the Quinjet and they could not allow that to fall into his hands. Niah was saying something to him, but his focus was on the Skrull. He knew Cass had survived her suicidal leap after Bonnie. Matt tripped. Maybe there was a section of flooring that was off, he couldn't say. Especially since he was now flipping over the railing and following the same trajectory as Cass and Bonnie. He cursed.

Niah realized that Matt and Agent Asokho were trying to stop one of the Skrulls. He was heading the direction of the Quinjet. That made sense, but why had Matt jumped over the railing? She raised her ICER and took two shots. The first missed. The second found its target and the Skrull fell to the ground. She sighed a little relieved. Niah had gotten used to shooting multiple shots because it seemed her first one or two never hit.

Matt reached out, his fingertips brushed the wall, and then he saw the railing of a landing. Thankfully he had good enough reflexes. It hurt with the change in velocity but he wasn't hitting the ground floor with a splat at least. He winced and tried to pull himself up but his shoulders weren't in the right position for it. He looked down, he could drop and possibly land without hurting himself. He was up a floor from the ground floor.

"Uh, okay I'll give it a try." Andy looked at Rebecca nervously when she asked her to guide the gryphon to the cargo hold. It did seem the gryphon liked her. "I definitely am wondering the same thing." She said looking at Jason. He seemed a bit easier to understand the more she spent time around him. She still had a dislike for him since he had been mean to her brother.

She looked between Arthur and Rebecca wondering what Rebecca meant by the sunset and sunrise thing. Did that mean Arthur would live a long time? Was she predicting the future? She wanted to ask more questions. "Can you see the future?" She asked Rebecca. But Arthur snapped. He was mad. Andy didn't blame him. "Stay here." She said to Arthur. She didn't want him to follow the gryphon and upset it.

Andy gently guided the gryphon down into the hold. It followed her with no issues. She was a little stunned by that. Why her? Rebecca seemed like the type of person who the gryphon would want to follow over her. Down in the hold, she tried to help it settle down in the stable that was there.

"I don't know how to, sorry. I mean I think I drove a car maybe five times, but I came here pretty young and couldn't drive legally yet." She turned to Waverly, the girl had come to camp fairly late she might know. Emily knew Marco didn't either. She supposed he was hoping someone else in the group knew. "Waves do you know how?"

"I've got the armor if all else fails, but I'd rather keep both feet on the ground." Niah said. She wasn't afraid of heights, but she didn't revel in them. Niah also wasn't keen on giving the armor a test with an additional three people compared to last time.

Emily smiled. She had no fear of heights and could be a bit reckless, or adventurous just depended on who you asked and was intrigued at the idea of flying armor. She glanced over the armor that Niah was wearing. She had seen it before, but that was because it was the armor that Niah was known for, and had worn it into several of the mock battles. That being said Emily didn't remember Niah using the armor to fly, well maybe make big jumps. But from the implication Naih's armor could give sustained flight.

"I don't have a cell phone though. I don't know if Emily can get one with her laptop." Niah said. She didn't know if any of them had a cell phone. Though Niah would have put money that neither Nancy nor Mads had one. She'd believe if Marco, Emily, or Waves did though. "Do any of you have a cell phone?" Niah felt a bit better that she at least knew it required cell phones to get an uber.

"I don't" Emily said plainly. "And we'd need wifi for my laptop to order anything. Camp has some wifi, but outside the camp there isn't any. At least not for a while. And getting an Uber to pick us up from camp...well I'm just gonna guess is a terrible idea.



Rose Buckner


Location: Camelot
Skills:





Rose let out a small sigh of relief after the army had finished marching past and they could no longer hear them. She wasn't ready to have to fight, to battle for a land that she wasn't ready to call home. As familiar as it felt to her. She hadn't been here since she was seven. Rose returned the arrow to quiver. She smiled at Cass. Then moved back to the road with the group.

When they arrived at the tower Rose was a little impressed, but was sad at the disrepair it had fallen into. "It needs some TLC, but exciting a real wizard tower." She smiled at Merlin. Rose wondered if Morgan Le Fay was the same as she remembered from a book series she read once, or if there were differences.

Her shoulders relaxed a little as they entered the tower. She looked around trying to see what all was behind the cob-webs. What magical secrets this place could hold. If asked a week ago Rose would have thought herself too old for such fantasies, but here she was. Giddy that she had found her door so to speak.




Colby Jackson


Location: Camelot
Skills: Stealth





Colby's shoulders relaxed as the marching army passed them and the sound of them disappeared. He sighed. Then glanced at Matthew. Matthew had started chatting a bit with one of the girls and a part of Colby was jealous. But he was thankful that Matthew was talking to someone and getting to know the others. So he tried to let that jealousy slide.

Now that the army was passed he stepped onto the road. When they reached the fork in the road Colby looked both directions trying to assess which direction the army had gone. He didn't particularly want to go the same way they had. Thankfully they had gone the opposite direction of the way Merlin led them.

At the tower, Colby looked around trying to make sure he had a good idea of the layout of the tower. If there were marching armies they might have to defend it. He walked the outer perimeter of the room trying to assess it on his third pass around he noticed something strange a glowing. As he investigated it he realized it would be a massive magic shield around the whole clearing. There was also an entrance to a basement just inside the tower. He poked his head and saw it led to a long tunnel.

Colby didn't want to wander off too much on his own and he didn't know what Merlin had planned so he didn't go down the tunnel. He just stood near the entrance of it. He had a theory that it led to Camelot proper underground. It was a secret passage, which was just straight up cool.




Location: Mutant Underground: Room 6
Skills:





The room seemed bare. It was a bedroom, and there were a few personal objects like a box of tools. Andy had no desire to dig through their items, but the room was currently empty. She was blissfully alone again. Andy enjoyed being alone. She sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall watching the door.

She drank the cold monster that Echo had given her and started munching on the food. She remembered the half-eaten muffin in her pocket. Andy had a little picnic from the snacks that Echo had gotten and the last of the muffin.

While she enjoyed the picnic, Andy considered what to do next. Veil had offered her a bed, a place here. Was that a permanent offer? Was this a place she wanted to be? Were these people she wanted to be around? It seemed like in general that they were good people, trying to do the right thing. They had been fighting the purifiers initially, and Andy knew precisely where her feelings on those people were. She hated them. Despised them deeply. Andy sighed; she wasn't sure still if she wanted to be here or not.




Location: Hotel Valhalla: Feast Hall of the Slain
Skill:





Dalisy didn't keep the surprise from her face when Runa's Father was revealed. Her jaw dropped and she looked at Arnora. In all the time that Dalisy had been here, she had never seen a child of Baldur, but she knew the rune. Everyone did. It was a sign of the end times. She looked at Elizabeth, she snapped her mouth shut and then said, "Well seems your vision will be taken seriously now."

She looked at the Norns. Dalisy had her own opinion about Ragnorok. She knew it couldn't be stopped forever. That it was inevitable. And because of that, she had a fatalistic look at it. Valhalla had collected a bunch of warriors who had died, who had failed to live through a fight. They were all doomed to fail again. It was dumb to her. Why get failed warriors? It was asking to fail more. They should have been collecting warriors that died in their old age after surviving a bunch of fights instead of ones who had died.

Dalisy sighed. "Guess we finally have to deal with the end of the world. Goodie." There was a hint of sarcasm.


Ed Penior




Location: Xavier's Mansion - The Danger Room
Skills: Thamaturgy: Shield



Beth took the dice, which was a little relieving to Ed. He didn't know if wanted to be the one to hold them any longer. She also shadow traveled with the board, Iris and Mary. That probably wasn't a great pair to bring with her, but it was the next two pairs who needed to roll. If the rest of the group could get to the hanger they'd be away from these dang spiders. Ed remembered vaguely in the movie the group ended up split up and all around town. They could not afford either of those for very long. It worried him that they would end up split up all over the place. It didn't help with Carolina and Elizabeth gone into the game. What would happen if their turn came up and they weren't here to roll? They had three chances to try to get them out before it came to that point.

Ed's magic was failing him. He couldn't heal himself even. He had sensed the weakness before and now it seemed even more likely. So healing was out of the question, at least for now, which wasn't great. Ed knew he was the only one able to heal people in the group. He also knew it wasn't his strength. It had been his sister's and she could have easily healed any of the injuries sustained so far without breaking a sweat. What he was good at though was creating shields.

His thaumaturgy magic was strong. And he had already proven he could play around with his shield. The force spell he had was meant to control a field not do any real damage. He hadn't been trained to hurt and kill. Mostly because growing up his family expected to fight people and they didn't believe in killing people.

Giant spiders, however, he was fine with killing. Taking his work with getting the dice a step farther he created a shield bubble around a few groups of spiders and then shrank it till they were crushed. Ten spiders down. He did it again. Fourteen more spiders down. That was twenty-four more spiders taken care of. Ed took a deep breath.

Location: Water Processing Room

Luke was still pretty confused about what was going on as well. Near as he could tell the tall being had been asked to be murdered. He looked to Cal and shrugged slightly at her questions. "She got some device from this person and wandered off following a map. Someone should let Ryanor know she isn't dead. I think he's going to have an aneurysm."

Tessa volunteered and went back down into the pipe. Luke considered following her, or even Zarina. But Noah and the strange being were talking to each other. Now that the being was no longer pinned they stood up. Their height was a little disconcerting and it made the stairs make a bit more sense. The ladder had been built of someone much taller than any of them. And since they were so thin and stretched out the pipes weren't claustrophobically small for them.

"I can make it look like you slipped, but with the device missing they might suspect we are behind it even still." Noah said. The being nodded and turned to Vinnie to answer her questions.

"It is part of my programming." They looked a little uncomfortable saying that. "When I was flesh and bone I had never heard of humans. But I was stolen from my planet like you all were. When I awoke I had no memory of who I was. I with several others of my people were put through some tests. They all died. When the Vendri were done they took my essence and put it in this body. I had use to Them. If they find you are useless you will die as my people all have."

Luke winced. They hadn't been joking when they said they saw their past in the group's future.

"Please, grant me this mercy and I pray for you all to find mercy in the future."




Sector Two Group Containment - Galley


A heated argument was being had in the Galley. One of their numbers had been discovered to be a robot. They were awake and alive but had cut their hand when they dropped a ceramic cup and gone to pick it up. Paranoia was rampant. One of the men was waving a knife at the young woman turned robot.




Sector One Group Containment - Pipes


Raynor was alone. Tessa started to climb down the pipe and found Raynor at the base of the ladder. There was just enough room to maneuver around so they were half-crouched half-kneeling near the ladder. "Situation is under control. Turns out the being Zarina ran into is just a technician. Their name is Y96-2 or something like that. They straight up asked for us to throw them to their death off the catwalk. Zari took off again though. Following a map on the device, she got from Y96. I'd say join everyone in the main area in the water processing area. It gets us out of here. I'll let Gordon know." Tessa said and crawled toward the atrium.
This is open again for new applications as the first group has discovered the second group. There are nine spots available.







Location: The hall outside Agent 13's apartment
Skills: Pistols





"That was really stupid Cass! You could have broken...everything." Had the woman wiped her reasoning? Niah shook her head. Agent 13 was fighting with one of the younger people in the group. Niah, even knowing that these were Skrulls, preferred a non-lethal method. Also, she figured if this kid could control metal it would be dumb to try to hit him with bullets. She shot at the younger son missing every shot, but at least none of them hit any friendlies.

She was concerned though. Was Flynn a Skrull too? Had she embarrassed herself for no reason? That pissed her off a bit. How long had he been one? Or what appeared to be an LMD. Had she had that 'heart-to-heart' with not-Flynn. What the hell? The fight in the hall was tense, but it seemed like the tide was turning to their side. With Cass having knocked out tornado dude, and Kwassi had shot Flynn with something. Niah didn't know what it was though, she hoped it was just an ICER or something similar.

On the plus side, Bonnie might be less heartbroken now that Flynn was an imposter and not her boyfriend. It had to be at least a little relieving for her. Niah didn't know why, but it kind of made her sad to think that.







Location: Agent 13's apartment
Skills: Perception; Hand-to-hand; Paralysis Inducement





Matt didn't have a weapon, except his hands. Cass had saved him though. He was lucky. That blow should have killed him. He was stunned by that, and then even more stunned when Cass said she was going after Bonnie and leaped off the banister. What the hell was she was thinking? Matt liked Bonnie well enough but he didn't think he would have lept like that to save her. Or anyone else in the group...except Cass. He definitely would have done that for Cass.

The Older son had grabbed at Cass, but had to dodge an errant metal shard from the younger. Matt took the opening and released some of whatever it was in him that paralyzed people. His inhuman power. The one that had changed his life so completely that he was fighting in the apartment near Captain Roger's. The Older son dropped. Matt took a deep breath and turned that only left the younger and Flynn-the-imposter. In combat with Agent 13. Matt didn't know what had happened to the younger girl, she had disappeared. He hoped that wasn't her power. Kwassi had shot Flynn again, maybe this time it would be useful.

Andy felt a bit better knowing Alannah was watching the sky. She didn't know how she felt about trying to get the Gryphon down into the hold. She watched as Rebecca and Jason worked on getting it taken care of. It was interesting to watch. Andy wondered why they didn't give it some nectar or something. She supposed that that stuff wouldn't work on a monster. Andy had never been this close to a monster that wasn't trying to kill her.

She edged closer to it holding out her hand like it was a dog so it could sniff her hand. Surprisingly, after both Arthur and Rebecca had been snapped at by the birdy head it sniffed her and allowed her to get close. It seemed unbothered by her presence, which was wild to Andy. Maybe it was aligned with her father? She had no idea but she was a little pleased to see it react well to her.








Location: Camp Jupiter: Cohort 2 -> Area between Barracks
Skills:



Once Niah was satisfied with everything she had packed, she made her way into the dirt area between the barracks. She would be easy to spot there. Especially with her armor. It was old, older than anyone she knew. It had belonged to Scipio Africanus originally. The armor also gave her the ability to fly. She had been terrified when they first found the armor that it had been cursed or something. It hadn't helped that she had been unable to control the flight at first and had gone drifting up.

Niah shifted her equipment making sure it was all prepared for the trip. She hoped it would be a quick trip. As she stood up Emily came outside. After they chatted and Emily went back inside Niah felt a bit relieved. She was glad they would have a bit better idea of where they were going this time. The trip to Mount Rushmore had been stressful. When the cohort five group came outside she gave them a smile. "Nancy and Mads shouldn't be too long."

"As long as you promise to find someone to care for him if we end up in Tartarus. I don't know how well a sugar glider would handle that." Emily said and dug out the papoose from where it had fallen. She handed it to Marco. "I recommend armor." Emily sighed looking at her own armor. She was with Waverly and didn't care for it. Emily weighed the options and decided she'd rather have the freedom of movement over the armor. She had her shield and if all else she was good at controlling the field with her plants.

When Emily stepped outside Niah waved her down. "Hey Niah. Get everything?"

"Only other thing I could think we should have is a good set of directions. The last quest we were on we had to borrow a to phone to get directions." Niah said frowning. There weren't many demi-gods who kept phones cause they were dangerous.

"I can look it up on my laptop. I have one for homework and stuff." Emily said stuff like she wasn't certain if she wanted anyone to know what that stuff was. Niah didn't particularly care why Emily had the laptop she was relieved someone in the group did.

"That'd be great if you could thank you." Niah said. And Emily went back inside. She took her laptop out of her footlocker and searched directions for Mount Tam. She was able to find a couple of possible routes and printed out the directions before shutting down the laptop and putting it away. When she went back outside she handed it over to Niah.

"Here ya go. I got bus routes and walking. Walking is not ideal." It was far enough that Emily had no desire to walk the whole way there.
