Location: Veil’s Group: Eisenhower Building
Skills: Enhanced Reflexes (passive)





Andy's jaw dropped when Glimpse drove her fist at super speed into Tarot's head. They were doomed. SHIELD watched. There was nothing to say, Havok said enough. Sapphire protected them and then Veil made them invisible again. A power Andy would have loved to have had while she lived on the road. Maybe there would be more people alive who weren't because of her. She didn't blame Glimpse for killing, sometimes it happened. She just was surprised, surprised she had done it in front of SHIELD especially.

She followed the group until they couldn't travel anymore. And whispered when Stareyes said she could carry her on her back and maybe two more. "If you think you can. I'm pretty small." When Stareyes affirmed Andy climbed onto her back. Putting her right arm over her shoulder and her left under her arm. It would keep Andy from strangling her if something went wrong. Andy was a bit nervous about this. She had never flown before.

Ed smirked listening to the bickering of Pietro and Wanda. It was reassuring in a strange sort of way. But it also hurt. The pair of them were twins just like he and his own sister. He hoped for their sake neither outlived the other. The suffering they would feel would be insurmountable. He looked over the group. The physical wounds healed.

He was concerned about the mental anguish some of them would experience. Especially Klara and Runa. The pair of them had been controlled. The type of magic used on them was forbidden among his family. The story of a cousin who had used mind magic and controlled people to do his bidding had been the childhood boogie man for his family. The terrible parts of the tale emphasized until none of the children would dare do mind magic. The strict laws in his family were to keep them in check. Before Thanos destroyed Cardiff with most of his family there was a tribunal and a few of the family had even been executed over the years for breaking the family laws. Now they were unenforcible. There were only a handful of men left in the family. He drew a slow breath. Bringing himself back to Liberty Island. He didn't want to think of his family's tragedy.

Ed forced a smile nodding at the thanks for the healing. It was the least he could do.



Rose Buckner


Location: Camelot: Sewers (again)
Skills: Bow Hunting, boxing





Rose hoped they wouldn't be discovered, but unfortunately, they were. She loosed her arrow and it stuck into one of the guard's shoulder. She was okay with that. She didn't actually want to hurt any of the guards. Chaos erupted though as the group started fighting the guards. She was capable of close-quarter fighting, she just preferred her bow.

Rose knocked a second arrow and shot at a guard's leg, she was trying to keep her attacks as non-lethal as possible. Yeah they were enemies they were fighting but she didn't want murder on her conscience. Her arrow missed and a guard tackled her to the ground. Red kicked the guy. Rose tried to punch him but failed...three times. She was looking like a fool and she hated that. Her mom wasn't going to have any faith in her being able to take care of herself now.




Colby Jackson


Location: Camelot
Skills:





"You are certifiably insane!" Colby said, but kept surprisingly still while Rosalia had the knife out and near his hand. He wasn't about to pull and make her slip. Thankfully, Merlin seemed to see some reason. And made the handcuffs disappear. The dog went for Colby, grabbing his leg and biting down hard. It hurt like hell. Colby yelped and then out of reflex hissed.

He didn't like dogs, and this wasn't helping the situation any. He wanted to push the dog off of him, but he couldn't bear to hurt an animal even if it was actively hurting him. "Get your dang dog." He told Rosalia. Hissing again hoping that would get the dog to let go. The others needed to get here so they could leave this damn city.

Location: Senate house
Skill:





Andy was torn between going with Madalyn to get the gem and records or waiting. She decided to wait though because she didn't want to leave Arthur alone any longer than necessary. She did tense when Madalyn said that Hecate was her mother. Andy gave Arthur a side glance trying to gauge if he was okay. Would he want to be around her? Rebecca was also a child of Hecate. She wondered what it would have been like for the two to meet. Would they have gotten along as sisters? Or would the divide or Roman and Greek get in the way? Or would Rebecca's general...creepiness have gotten in the way? It was hard to tell.

The group was starting to disperse. People going off in their separate directions. She looked to Arthur and said quietly. "I've got your back." They fought well together. She was going to make sure they stuck together to make sure he didn't lose anyone else as best she could.








Location: New Rome (sewers)
Skills:



Em took a few deep breaths. "The madness in that place is like a miasma." She told Marco. "It feels...alive." She didn't know how to explain it, how it twisted and turned and would not allow itself to be dormant for long. "I don't trust it." She said, wildly understating how she felt.

"Whatever you do Waverly don't wander off." She wanted to warn Demi about how dangerous that place could be. How the Labyrinth was...hungry. She didn't want to say it so Waverly could hear her though. Didn't want to scare the girl any more than was necessary. She just had to stay close to camp then things could be figured out. But they had a war coming to them they had to protect their home. Unfortunately, that meant Waverly would have to wait.








Location: New Rome: Senate house -> Argo III
Skills:



"Please lead the way." Niah said and started to follow Alannah out of the Senate house. She was thankful that Nancy had been able to muster a bit of a grin back at her, though she could tell how hard it had been. Niah touched the bracelet that was the reminder of all the three of them had been through to get to this point.

"Don't take off without me." Andy said.

Niah checked her armor as they started walking to the Greek ship. She had no desire for something to go wrong with her armor while in the air. That was a death sentence for her. The ship was, she had to admit, impressively built. She wondered how it flew. Maybe Alannah would give her some information on that. She had a decent grasp of how magic worked, but nowhere near as good of an understanding as Mads.






Location: Boardwalk
Skills: Psychometry





Niah grinned as Ryanor called her psychotic. It was really funny actually and she had to try her best to not laugh. "I'm Niah Bautista. Born in 1997 and raised in the Philippines." She told the truth of this version of reality the version that until the fight with the demon bear she hadn't remembered. "My sister is Dalisy wanted by SHIELD for acts of terrorism, and for what is probably completely legitimate reasons on Doctor Strange's watch list. I am a mutant, product of Phase Three." She said. All details anyone part of the Secret Warriors would know, and not a single lie.

She was sad about Maria and hoped that the Skrulls were taking prisoners. It would be worth having to deal with Flynn again if Maria returned to them. She removed her glove and touched Cass's clothing, her power didn't work on people it had to be objects. She got a flash of Cass kissing Matt, she had known they had gone on a date, but really gross. There were a few other flashes of things that confirmed that Cass's clothes hadn't been summoned or previously belonged to a green-blooded alien trying to take over the world. "Cass is good." Niah just caught Matt's shoulder release a little tension.

Matt had a conundrum as the group was telling truths about themselves. If he said he was born 'Matt Moss' it would be a lie. Did he out himself like that? Part of the group had to know. At least Cass did. He decided to word it carefully. "My name is Matthew Moss. I was born in London in 1991. I joined the SBS where I encountered the Terrigian Mists and found out I was inhuman. During the fight on the moon I was exposed again but thankfully didn't die." He figured he'd be kind to Oliver and not say his exposure was Oliver's fault.

He felt better knowing that both Niah and Raynor had cleared Cass. He held out his jacket for Niah who when she touched it she made the same face she had when she saw Cass's memories. "Seriously how much do you guys make out?" Matt rolled his eyes. "Yeah he's not a Skrull. I was gonna say he's human, but he's actually a descendent of aliens that lived on the moon so that wouldn't be true."

"What has gotten into you?' He asked Niah she was never like this.

"General anesthesia." Niah said with a grin. "They really wouldn't have discharged me if Dr. Larson hadn't been there. Who's next?"


Ed Penior




Location: Liberty Island
Skills: Sympathetic: Healing



Loki was down and Klara was talking like her normal self again. Rambling. It was nice to hear actually. Reassurance that she was okay. He had felt bad every time one of their group had hurt her or Runa knowing that underneath the spell they wouldn't have wanted to hurt the group. They had come here to defeat Loki just as much as the X-Men had.

"Klara, make sure there is no impending tsunami to worry about." Ed said and dropped his concentration on the shield spell around the civilians. He was going to need his full concentration for his next trick. He had seen his sister do it a few times when there were a lot of people hurt. He frowned at the memory.

Then made his way around the group gathering a bit of blood from each injured person and set about his task of healing all of them. He paused at Neil confused. He had been stabbed, fallen at the same time Mary had, but he couldn't get to both of them, and here Neil was standing looking healthy. "You okay?" He asked waiting for the answer and set back to his task.

A soft orange glow emanating from Ed's hands spread out and touched each person that he had collected blood from. They would feel their wounds knitting back together and when the orange glow disappeared they all felt amazing. Ed blinked. That had been easily the most powerful healing spell he had ever cast. They all looked so much better too. He smiled, trying to hide his surprise.




Location: Veil’s Group: Eisenhower Building
Skills: Enhanced Reflexes (passive)





The fire wasn't the type that pulled fear deep from inside Andy. It was green, but it was still like a blast furnace. Veil protected them with her shield. Andy stood up from the section of the wall that she had hit. Taking slow breaths to make sure she hadn't broken a rib or something. Everything hurt, but not in a broken bone sort of way. She looked for the girl with the Tarot deck again and was considering her next move. There was no way she'd get up to the dragon and punch it, which left her with just the people on the ground.

But whatever her next move was going to be didn't matter. S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived. Her heart started racing. Andy had gotten into plenty of scrapes and mild trouble. She had been in and out of foster homes and even a special school, but never in real trouble. Never in go to jail...or worse trouble. Well, there had been that one incident, but no one had blamed her for that except herself.

Would they send her into some other foster program? Or would it be worse? Would she go to jail? Mutant jail at that. She heard rumors. She knew about mutant supermax. Andy didn't want to go there. Her hands were shaking. She forced them into fists trying to keep the shaking down. And looked to Veil. Their next move was up to her. With the guns trained on them she didn't want to move to try to destroy the vaccines, she could only hope that the vaccines just wouldn't be trusted considering what happened in that room. If shooting started she planned to duck under one of the metal tables in the room. It was the best bet for getting to safety.




Rose Buckner


Location: Camelot: Sewers (again)
Skills: (bow hunting - held roll)





Rose smiled. The touch on her back was reassuring and her mother's voice was pleasant. It was nice to hear it from her mother that she knew she was okay. That she cared. Even through everything her mom had cared. She hadn't realized before seeing her mom how much she needed that.

When Hansel told them to hide she slipped into the aclove with the others. She listened to the guards coming, notching an arrow. It would be a little difficult to get an arrow off in the crowded space. Rose was used to having a lot more open space and she didn't want to hit any of the group.

[hider=held roll]If Rose has a clear shot she is going to shoot one of the guards if they notice the group. (Bow hunting)[/color]




Colby Jackson


Location: Camelot
Skills: Slight of hand





Rosalia fought back. Colby had expected that so he had been able to keep her from getting him too bad. Though she did pin him. There was a whole lot going on. With the dog barking and people yelling. "Oh shut up no one gives a shit." He was about to try to get out of the pin when Merlin came over and put him in a pair of handcuffs with Rosalia.

"Hell no!" He yelled. "I refuse to be handcuffed to her." He said. He knew the basics of getting out of handcuffs. It was a simple trick, just involved dislocation of your thumb. The handcuffs were on tight so he was unable to do it. He was thankful for the time he had studied normal magic. Now he just had to spend the time to learn magic in this world.






Location: Jersey? Who goes to Jersey?
Skills:





Niah nodded. A lot. She nodded at Dr. Larson telling her to not share about the multi-verse experience she had with others. She nodded at the explanation about why the Skrulls were trying to take over Earth. Would that make it a strategic place for the Kree too? Would Earth become a battleground between two highly advanced races? They had to keep that from happening. Humans weren't really ready for an outside threat like that. Heck, they were barely able to handle the differences of mutants and inhuman from themselves. She did not want to think about what humanity would be like if they realized there were body snatchers out and about.

When the ship landed and the ramp lowered Niah said, "Thank you. I'll happily talk with you more about my experiences sometime." Then she went down the ramp. She spotted the gathering group and waved. Rolling the wheelchair that was sometimes a leg carefully. "Hey Sparky! You found Raynor. Hi Amelia, turns out things were totally funky, and jumping out a window probably was the sanest thing you could do." She was clearly still a little high. She waved at everyone else joining them.

"Raynor did getting kidnapped by shapeshifting-aliens get the chip off your shoulder?" She asked, grinning, showing that she was mostly joking with Raynor. Somewhere between three realities, her sister being a multi-dimensional terrorist, and demon bear Niah seemed to stop being so tense, or maybe it was the drugs in her system. It was probably the drugs in her system, which were painfully starting to wear off. "We fought a demon bear that fed off fear and it ruined my leg." She said and held up the stump for the others to see.

"Where is Maria? Oh and Sparky you've got to check out this wheelchair later. You're gonna love it. It is cooler than any sci-fi book I've ever read." Niah had honestly not read much recently, her life was more sci-fi than she could handle. Escaping into a sci-fi novel was not what she considered fun at the time being.

Matt hadn't unbuckled at any point after they took off again. He had come to the decision that he wouldn't ever be unbuckled when Hawkeye was flying again. Even though he hadn't been tossed around the ship he had seen enough of the others do just that. When the ship finally landed he was happy to be getting off. "You might not need a vacation, but I think I'm going to take one. Go home and just enjoy some hockey or something." He told Bonnie grinning, before leaving the ship after Cass.

Niah was rambling at Sparky as he walked up. Cass was already there. It was dumb but he had liked her kissing his hand. It had been a sweet tender moment when right now nothing seemed so vulnerable. He hoped he hadn't been wrong to decide to trust the group completely. He hoped that Cass was really Cass and hadn't been replaced, he wouldn't want to have happy memories like that with someone who wasn't his girlfriend.

Andy nodded thankfully at Crane. She smiled at Arthur when he said he would stay. It was a relief. Maybe he was starting to realize that this was the best choice? She wasn't certain but she was glad he was staying. Though she wouldn't make him come with her to look at the records. That probably was going to be boring even though it was her little mission.

She did glare at Niah though. The older girl was being mean on purpose she thought. There was no reason to be that graphic. Andy kind of understood why she was doing it, but it wasn't nice. She didn't have anything to add, though she wondered why the Nancy lady was telling Niah to bring her armor. Why wouldn't she? They were going into a battle it only made sense to wear armor.

The madness emanating from the Labyrinth was cloying. Emily could feel it, nearly tangible. Her fingers twitched. There was so much power so much insanity. Her Father tended toward being on the trickster side of things, or revenge, or what was much more common the madness of pleasure and ecstasy. This was not that type of madness. This was true insanity. The kind that would drive a person to rip out their eyes and organs in an attempt to escape it.

Nausea washed over her. She felt unsteady. Felt the glare from Waverly. That anger. It would be turned. It would fester. And Emily would feel it growing. It was created by something so much larger than her, than any of them. She wanted to reach through and pull Waverly to safety but she couldn't. Even without Nancy's decree, Emily couldn't touch the Labyrinth. For the others, it was as it had been designed. For her, it could easily burn through her. Manipulate her. Turn her against what she was and what she believed in.

Emily back farther away from the hole. How had it been so close? How had she not felt it sooner? Her body wrenched and she vomited. Nausea didn't pass. At least she was already in the sewer if she was going to vomit anywhere. She would rather collapse dead right there than take another step toward the hole and the danger it represented.

Niah grinned at Nancy, a sort of 'trust me' mixed with 'got it one' grin. "Believe me I had no intention of being on a flying ship without it." Her voice carried no fear of heights, she didn't have that, it instead gave the impression that she didn't trust things that flew. That she didn't trust knowing where her feet were placed. She was part river leaving the Earth wasn't in her nature.

Niah turned to Alannah, "I would appreciate a tour. Might as well do that now during the calm." She didn't have to finish the phrase for anyone to know that she expected the worst that the Titans could throw at them. Her mind was racing over the possibilities. They needed to protect the gem. The soil from the pit was involved. A war unlike any seen on the Earth since before Rome had paved its first road was around the corner.
