Andy was considering heading down to check on the Gryphon when Arthur asked about adult demi-gods. She hadn't given it any thought. Growing up hadn't ever seemed to be in her cards. Ever since she had run away from the foster system each day was a struggle. Each day was basically another day of fighting and had been for several years. She waited for the answer.

"It was never this constant when I lived alone, to be honest." She says to Arthur. Sure she had her fights against monsters but in the two years she had been on the road it was less than a dozen. She wondered if the concentration of demi-gods had something to do with how much they were dealing with.

Em hugged Marco back, sensing he was upset. She saw Mads face and had a sinking feeling in her stomach. Her brain went for a terrible joke, which she whispered to Marco. "Feed her belladonna, roll a d20 make a fort save." He was the only one who knew how much she liked playing role-playing games so she kept her voice as quiet as possible so only he could hear. Then in a louder voice asking the senate in general. "Do we have any wolfsbane around? It works on weakening werewolves, it might keep..." She trailed off.

Niah having taken her seat, trying to look calm and collected. It was a lie though. She returned her invisible sword to its scabbard on her back. She was the only one not in summoned armor. She would have to keep it on for now. At least it seemed like everyone's summoned stuff was still there despite Mads putting so much into making the portal.

Em realized she still held her sword and held it up to her necklace, it phased down and became a charm. She also still had the scorpion tail on her hip in the summoned scabbard. If she didn't think she should be there for Marco having to explain everything to the Senate. Why had Nancy asked him to do it? Niah was right there for everything too. "We should do that as soon as possible. The next full moon is July fifth." They had a ticking time bomb with Mads on top of the Titans. Not to mention belladonna, or wolfsbane, could be deadly to humans. Mads could die from the cure, but would it be better to be dead and not a werewolf?

Niah looked over at Nancy watching her for clues about what her friend was seeing. She didn't know what was drawn or what Nancy saw in her vision but she knew the appearance of Nancy having one, and by the look on her face whatever it was it had been awful. "We don't have a whole lot of time. The Titans are planning an attack on the camp. They want to take Termainus and force him to take Atlas' burden. We have the Greeks coming. And now..." She trailed off looking at Mads worried. Taking care of Mads and making sure she was okay was first in Niah's heart. The camp could take care of itself. "What precautions have been taken since we were gone? Any defense plan in place?" The military commander that had been trained into Niah took over. They would have to multitask taking care of Mads and protecting New Rome.

Niah found herself sitting in her childhood bedroom. It had been the room she had shared with her sister most of her life. She looked around at all the things that had been who she was. The little girls who had slept in this room had been through so much. Changed so much. She turned and saw the small desk she had used to do homework at. Unexpectedly she was sitting at it, not child her, but adult her.

”Uh. Hello?” The other version of herself looked up and smiled

“Ah. You’re here. Finally. I’ve been trying to talk to you for a while. I suppose getting heavily drugged will make it so you can talk to your subconscious.” Niah blinked surprised at hearing her own voice.

”What?”

“Come on Niah you’re smarter than this. You’ve seen a lot. Done a lot. Where has your head been lately? You were paranoid about things that weren’t a threat and now the things that are a threat are knocking at your door and you got yourself hurt. You could have avoided this. You’re better than that and you know it.”

”A lot has been going on.” Niah said defensively. ”Which I’m sure you’re aware of. I’ve had a lot on my mind other than dealing with some vague threat.”

“Rich coming from someone who probably would be the only reliable person to tell who is a Skrull or not. You have to pull yourself together. Stop focusing on the past. That’s what the whole bear situation was about. Your self-doubt made you afraid of doing the wrong thing. And the bear fed on your fear. You almost got yourself killed.”

”I noticed. I was worried I was going to die anyway.”

“Good thing you were in a hospital. Also, you’ll be different now.”

”Different?” The double stood and tapped Niah’s chest.

“Here. You have a lot of scars here, but you are healing. You can heal. You have to want to heal though. I have something for you.” The double’s hand went up to Niah’s forehead. “A dozen years of memories of a happy life. You have so many lives in your memory, don’t you? Two whole worlds and now I’ll give you the memories of the world you created.” A cool chill went through Niah from the point where her double’s hand touched all through herself. “And a warning. Don’t trust yourself. You’re kind of a dick.”

”What?”

“You’ll figure it out.”

”You mean in another world. Like from where Dalisy had been?”

“See you are smart. It is there, you can figure it out.”

”Well, you’re kind of a jerk.”

“You’re too worried about keeping the facade up. That’s why you’re the ego. Keeping things from going mad. You do a good job of keeping it all in check too. You were always trying too hard. Tried to be friends with Tinley before she got the stick out of her ass. When you were finally close with her she forgot and then she died. So you became scared and hurt. Everyone you had gotten close to had died horribly. You let it tear into your heart. You can’t save everyone. You can’t protect everyone and yet you still keep trying. I know that as soon as you get to the point where you are good in the field again you’re gonna go at it again. Just keep trying to save the world. You’re like Atlas, instead of the sky, you carry the world. You could have stayed, but you knew it was wrong so you fought and that’s all you do. Fight what you believe is wrong. Stand against injustices that you have no control over, demanding that control. Even when you step back you are cursed and something bad happens. That’s what you believe isn’t it?”

Chills went down Niah’s spine. This double knew more about how her mind worked than she did. The Id. That’s who she was talking to. Her own subconscious. Not the superego, but the Id. She took a deep breath, one she realized might be unnecessary but completely reflex at this point.

”You seem to know an awful lot.”

“That’s because I see and know everything you do, but have time to think it over. You already know what I am.”

”What am I supposed to do with this information? Why did you give me memories of the re-written world? Why tell me anything? Why now?”

“Now, because you’re really unconscious and will probably handwave it as a wild hallucination brought on by the anesthesia. What you do with the information is up to and why is because you needed it. Next time you see your parents they are going to talk about stories you need to know. Also, it makes you the only person on the planet with three sets of memories all belonging to you.”

Niah sighed. Her double wasn’t being very helpful, but she could at least work with it. ”Alright. Now, what then?”

“You wake up.”

"Nice first impression." Matt said shaking his head at Kwassi and then followed Bonnie and Cass toward medical. He didn't step in, but was standing nearby. He didn't want to crowd the area but wanted to be near Cass and make sure she was okay. "Was that Niah and Oliver getting back to you? Are they okay?" He didn't like how long it had been since either group had checked in. They had no idea what Sparky was up to.

"Bonnie if I can help with anything let me know." He didn't have much medical knowledge, but he could get things for Bonnie if she needed anything grabbed. Too bad his paralytic power didn't work on Folly, if it did he could keep her still while Bonnie reattached her arm. A ghost of a smile crossed his features as he thought about how ridiculous this whole situation actually was.

Andy felt her face flush. There wasn't any way that Veil could have known she had thought that what they were dealing with was the cure for M-pox, but with Veil clarifying what was going on it made more sense. The White House wouldn't have any reason to have the M-pox cure sent to them if there weren't any mutants on staff. She hid her embarrassment by looking out the window.

"Just tell me who to punch." She offered. Andy wasn't going to be great at anything except punching stuff. Be those people or things, though she was better at punching people. This was her first 'mission' actually. Everything in her life before that was just surviving and getting by. She had never been proactively involved in a situation, especially anything like what she had so far experienced with the Mutant Underground.

Matt nodded, made sense that Cass didn't want to pilot. Hawkeye could though. He wasn't certain he trusted the 'president' to do it right now. But he'd let Cass decide. She leaned toward Hawkeye piloting. They had a history, it seemed like she had a history with the president too, but it was less formal. He took a seat.

"We're all on edge. For now, we just have to get along well enough to get somewhere where we can figure this out. And make a plan. I actually recommend we accept we have to trust each other to get through this. Cass is right. The Skrulls want us fighting each other. We also definitely need Oliver back. He was the one who had the theory first, he's been digging into the Skrulls the longest. Hope they got some answers." Matt said, advocating that they accept they all need to just work together as that gave them the best hope of surviving this and making it through to fix the damage.

As he sat there in the Quinjet he considered his beliefs. He still believed in Hill's Law even if they came from a potential Skrull. There should be structure and a safety net. Training and accountability. It was his opinion that even after they dealt with the Skrull's they should still work on a building something that would make 'Heroes' a truly good thing.

Andy grabbed a rope and it was a good thing she did as she lost her footing and would have slid across the deck. When the ship righted itself she stood up and looked around. She saw Arthur standing up grinning. A little weight of worry that had been knotting in her stomach over Arthur released a bit. She had been concerned he would snap and do something stupid, but maybe knowing that monsters didn't really die...which for any normal person would have been terrifying...helped him deal with it. Death wasn't the end anymore. They knew what was beyond. She looked over and saw her brother hanging off the edge Lauryn helping climb back over. "Demi! Are you okay?" Andy asked, offering her own hand alongside Lauryn's helping pull her brother to safety.

They were back in the air again. And that felt right to Andy. Maybe because of who her father was. She smiled looking to the horizon. They were going to meet more demi-gods. More kids like them. Maybe there would be some around her and Arthur's age. Or maybe other kids of Zeus. A bigger family. She remembered though that she had been told to look in the records for Crane. That would be important, she didn't know why yet, but it would be. Everything seemed so big, like that robot. But all they could do was keep going. That's what her life had been like for the last two years, why would it be any different now?

Em had been tackled and attacked by a werewolf. That was not where she had seen this day going. She hadn't thought 'a yes atlas the guy with the werewolves' when they had made the plans to go galavanting off to confront him. She hadn't even had time to stab the guy with her sword before being knocked down and rescued by Waverly. "Thanks, Waverly." She said as she stood back up. "You just saved my bacon." She considered a joke bouncing off of Waverly's, something something guess I'm a cat now. But gave up.

Niah was pissed. She did not like the idea of fighting werewolves again and this wasn't working. There were too many of them. Their group was already getting overwhelmed even with Emily trying to control the field a bit. Niah frowned. She had tried once before to use her Odikinesis to calm down a group of werewolves. It had... gone badly. This time hopefully she would be better at it.

She grabbed Marco's hand. She wasn't about to be an idiot and stick around to fight werewolves. They needed to get back to camp. Tell them what they knew and prepare. The Greeks were going to have a wild reception. She dragged Marco and went through the portal. He had no place in a knock-out-drag-out fight with swords. He really was better with words. And they were back in New Rome. Right in the middle of the Senate. And there was a meeting happening. Probably because of Marco's message. "Uh...hi. Emily here, just your gardner." She announced for the ones who didn't know her, but gave a weary smile to those she did know. "The others should be by any moment."

She hummed a note. Not for any actual reason, except to calm herself down. She needed to be calm for this work. And reached out with her power, touching as many of the werewolves as she could with it. Ten of them seemed to stop and stop caring about the fight. Emily and Marco were off the field, which left Waverly. Niah knew Nancy wouldn't leave till all the rest of them were off the field. "That's our cue." Niah ran and grabbed Waverly who for all El Kabong reenactments still looked a little dizzy. "Don't be a dumbass Nancy come quickly." She said, Waverly following behind, and through the portal they went. Landing almost ontop of Em who looked really embarrassed. "Perfect. You're already in session." Niah said with a bright grin and started toward her seat around the senate room.

Rose grabbed a cup of coffee. "I don't have a split mind. I just want to make sure the distraction is good enough to keep us from being overwhelmed. I think fire is a terrible idea. We don't have any idea how fast that could spread to homes of innocent people." She glared at Colby who didn't even seem to notice or care. "The animal idea is pretty good though Willow." She was about to say something else when the Excalibur girl literally stabbed Isabella, "Was that necessary? Jeeze. Are you okay Isabella?"

It did seem that the fire idea was being taken up though. She sighed and gave in. As long as it was controlled. "Merlin if the fire gets out of hand can you control it at all? Keep people safe?" She asked. Once she finished her coffee she followed Hansel, checking her gear as she did. This was going to be intense but it was for her mother.

His idea had been a throw-away idea but it was being accepted as the plan. Though a couple of people had issues with the idea. He really had just been spitballing ideas. If this went sideways he was going to be blamed for it. He downed his own cup of coffee and followed Gretal outside.

"I don't want to burn down any houses or anything." He mumbled. "Can an illusion be made of fire?" He asked Merlin and Mathew. Mathew had the magic book and Merlin...was well Merlin. If anyone in their group had an idea of what to do it would be one of them.

Ed was glad that Guin used his real name. Genuinely surprised by it actually. Had she decided to not hate him for whatever reason she had hated him? Ed guessed that if she had decided that it was because of how he had saved Pietro. He realized quickly the whole group was paired up. There was no one left for him to 'pair' up with. If Beth had joined them it would have been her, and since Annie had decided to go off with Carolina it couldn't be her. Guin was pairing with Mary. Iris was considering suicide by pairing with Mira...He considered joining them just so if Mira decided to go for the killing blow he could put a shield between the two of them.

His task was to protect people that they couldn't get off the island in time. So if he went wandering off with Iris and Mira he might get caught in their drama and not be able to save an innocent person. He was torn. Would the two get into a fight or would they be able to focus on the fight they had at hand? Considering how much fighting they had had when they had been playing the game he worried they wouldn't be able to focus. He decided.

Ed would keep an eye on them and if they started fighting each other he'd bubble shield both of them, but he had to prioritize getting people to safety. He looked up to the top of the statue. After 9/11 the top had been closed off to tourists, but someone might still be up there. If it wasn't so dang tall it'd be a great place for a grandiose gesture of narcissism. However, no one would be likely to see or hear Loki if he were up there. People really didn't think about how big the statue of liberty was unless they had seen it, or the fact that it wasn't super close to the city and didn't face the city. It faced out to sea.

Ed looked away from the Statue and started scanning the crowds. Getting a feel for how many people they had to deal with. His fingers slipped into his pocket and touched the small shield he kept there.

[hider= if any chaos starts Ed is gonna make large shields that protect any people from getting hurt (this includes in case mira and iris decide to fight)[/hider]

Andy considered that this was essentially a suicide mission. It took her all of two seconds to try to care, since she didn't she shrugged and buckled the seat belt. She didn't have anything to add to the conversation so she listened and watched out the window. Andy wondered what her parents would have thought of how she ended up now that they were dead. A bit of anger rose in her, maybe she should have gone with the other group if it was a Purifier trap.

Since their murder, she was a fan of punching Purifier's till they stopped fighting back. Anger boiled and she clenched her fists before taking a few slow breaths. They weren't going to deal with Purifiers, they were going to stop the cure for M-Pox from getting messed with by jerk Mutants. Andy frowned. Why did the President have cures heading his way anyway? He wasn't a mutant. She considered asking the question, but she figured in the long run the answer didn't really matter.

Niah wasn't certain how she was still conscious. She heard everything Oliver said to her, only giving nods. The part of her that was proud of herself recognized that she really had had something to do with defeating the bear. She had no idea how as her brain currently lacked the blood to put the pieces together.

That was soon remedied though. There was a burst of chaos around her as Oliver got doctors involved in her care. Surgery was required. The leg would be lost. The damage was just too much and she had lost too much blood. Niah didn't even fully process what they were saying. Would she be removed from SHIELD? Did she want to be removed from SHIELD? She could take a desk job again. But as the anesthesia hit she knew she would have to find a way to keep protecting people. No matter what.

"I can paralyze him. As for who and who isn't a Skrull is it bad that the only person in the group we can be certain isn't one is the crazy girl? Since she didn't die when any reasonable Skrull would have." He frowned at Kwassi, "We have a pilot, Cass." He gestured to the team leader, and his girlfriend. The look he was giving Kwassi was questioning the new guy's sanity.

"How about we fight this out not on the island that's burning around our ears though?" Matt considered just walking up to the President and paralyzing him, but he decided he'd at least wait for Cass to make the call on that. He was leaning into trusting her. He had already put trust in the wrong people. Matt decided he'd rather trust those he wanted to trust and if it turned out wrong then at least he errored on the side of trusting those he cared about.

Matt looked to her and waited for her to give her opinion on the matter.

Andy didn't entirely follow the conversations, but she was listening. Trying to understand and follow. At least some things were starting to make sense. She followed the Hellfire group to the garage and climbed into the back seat of the car. She folded up pretty well back there and at least she wasn't in the way there. Zarina hadn't chosen a team, but she hoped that the weird green-haired girl would be on their team. Though the other one was really low on people so it would make sense for her to go there.

In the car, she smiled at Kristina. At least one of the other new people was with her. So she wouldn't be alone in needing questions answered if something happened. There was some irony that Andy wasn't aware of, Kristina was hoping for the fire guy to show up, and Andy was very against it.

She pulled her jacket a little tighter around her, it was unzipped. She didn't plan on zipping it ever again in case someone with magnetic ability tried to pick it up and carry her with it. She had loved her jacket cause she could put her electricity through the little spikes and anyone who tried to touch her regretted the decision. Now that she had to consider how dangerous it could be for her safety she was worried. Of course, she wouldn't get rid of the jacket. It had been given to her by Ash.
