Ed's fingers twitched instinctively toward his tiny shield in his pocket, ready to cast a shield if necessary. He didn't want to be sucked into the vacuum of space. He had been playing around a bit with ideas on how he could twist the shield spell since the fight with Loki. He was certain he could make it non-permeable and it could theoretically protect people from space, at least for a little bit. With the power back on he felt a little better. But the alarms were...unsettling.

Runa had cast her own protection spell, which reassured him. He kept his hand near the shield though. Ready to cast if something happened to the hull of the ship. He couldn't help figure out the tech side of things. He wasn't computer illiterate...just woefully inept compared to Guin or most of the others. Computers just hadn't been his focus. He could use a laptop or a PC no problem, but once it got into the higher technical aspects he was useless.

Andy didn't know what to think of Glimpse leaving. She understood why. But she barely knew her and didn't have much feeling on the situation. What she did know was the group had suffered some losses recently and losing someone else, even though it wasn't to death, had to be a hard blow. She also hadn't decided if she would stay with the group. Andy wasn't the type to stay in one place too long. She didn't want to overstay her welcome, or more importantly become attached to someone and watch them get burned to death. She had had enough of that.

She stayed quiet in Veil's invisibility bubble. The SHIELD agents were coming and the group was in a tight bind. They had to get out of the sewers fast. She looked up at Veil waiting for directions. Nervousness tingling her limbs as she felt the fight or flight reflex struggle to decide. Only prey froze for too long. She thought of a deer caught in the headlights of a vehicle and knew their group was in much the same predicament.

He had caught what she had almost said. She felt bad. But it was more that she thought he wanted to be in a safe place rather than any doubt of his fighting skill. It was clear he didn't enjoy fighting so why would he want to join it if it could be avoided?

Andy took the book. "Thank you." She didn't have a backpack or anywhere to stash the book. It was a good thing most of her fighting was summoning lighting and hitting enemies with it. She wanted to get into battle though and didn't want to have to put the book away. She'd just have to be super careful with it.

She and Arthur started to walk outside toward the ship, but there was no need. Gryf had come to her. She grinned. Excellent. "Hey Gryf, you ready to ride into battle with me? We've got people to protect." She climbed onto the Gryphon's back. "Come on Arthur. Let's show these monsters they picked the wrong fight." Her grin was huge. Howerver, Gryf was not excited about Arthur joining her. He started hissing at Arthur when he tried to get on his back.

"Gryf, he is my friend. Please be nice to him." She said gently. Not demanding. She didn't want to force the Gryphon to take Arthur on his back if he didn't want to, but she wished that both of them could ride him.

Skills: Madness; Chloroikinsis



Shit. That was all Em could think as she was almost pushed into the Labyrinth. She was already regretting her decision to stay. That was quick. Instead of her one of the others of the Fifth was knocked in. She sighed frustrated. But hey Marco was super hot riding a dragon and singing...Backstreet Boys. She shook her head to focus and turned around seeing a beautiful woman who had definitely not been in the Labrinth a moment ago speaking with Waverly.

It didn't take much for Emily to realize who the woman was. She was a goddess. And one of her Father's (in his Greek form) ...consorts. She shifted. Hoping that Ariadne wouldn't take offense to what Waverly had just said. It was sort of reasonable since Waverly had so far met a Sphinx and had been warned multiple times to not wander off. "Ariadne." She started giving a head nod and what might be considered a curtsey. "We found this section of the Labrynth by accident while reinforcing the sewers here." She explained.

Niah nodded. At least that made sense. They were kids, they should have gotten a proper childhood. Not that any demi-god really got proper childhoods. She watched as an actual Gryffin flew over to them and the girl climbed onto its back without any issue. "Well skill aside she has a friend in that Gryffin." Saw something new every day she supposed. The other thing that Alannah said made sense. You could see it in the kid's eyes.

"Alright, show me the ropes." She said to Alannah. The battle had begun and she didn't like sitting on the sidelines during wartime. That wasn't her speed. She had literally flown into a dragon's lair before and here she was waiting. It was part of the reason she didn't consider herself a leader. The misconception that leaders told others what to do from the sidelines. To her Nancy and Mads were exceptions to what leaders were like. And she preferred their style. Getting involved and fighting. Proving they were just as willing to die for their people as the people they were asking to die.

She looked up as a dragon took to the skies. It was carrying Marco...who was singing. Niah could hear that Nancy's voice joined the song and heads started exploding. She smiled. Remembering the first time Nancy ever did that with the werewolves. But that caused her to frown again. Mads. Worry crossed her heart and mind. Something would have to be done before the next full moon. She didn't want to lose one of her best friends like that. Her fingers brushed her bracelet.

"Sparky let me touch something of yours." She asked reaching out. Sparky let her touch a bit of her clothing and she got a few flashes, nothing that showed her Sparky being kidnapped or anything like that, and certainly nothing that made it seem like the clothing had been created. "My friend you are not a Skrull, which is probably more sci-fi than any book we've ever read." She missed their book chats. It had been so long. Since before Phase Three had happened.

When she finished she turned to Kwassi, "Wait did you say the President?" For a brief flash it seemed like Niah might be awestruck, and then her face contorted into something resembling a person struggling to take a poop. "Is his wife here?" She looked even more irritated. "I do not like that woman." She shook her head. Niah had met both in House of M and had not gotten along with them, especially the first lady. She had been such a show-off and know it all. Sure she had fought the Devil and won, but that didn't mean she had to brag about it.

"Hand something over." She said a bit more grumpy than she had been before Kwassi had arrived. It could easily be misconstrued as annoyance at him, but she was annoyed about the President and the First Lady. A part of her was thankful that in this reality she wasn't Americanized. She still had Philipino citizenship. Kwassi handed her some sort of mask. She frowned a bit touching it but she didn't get enough from it to be certain. "I won't say one way or the other." She said handing the mask back. Raynor would have to clear Kwassi.

Matt was confused but followed Cass back onto the Quinjet. He tried to remember the last time he had seen Goose and couldn't figure it out. It had been ages. At least since Christmas eve. He knew Goose had been there because he remembered that Niah got Goose some treats. He wondered what the cat had been up to during that time. Had Goose been at the fight to get the fake Thane?

"Bonnie, you might want to check Niah out. She's really out of it. I think she should have stayed at the hospital. They amputated her leg and she just left still on the general anesthetics." A part of him knew Bonnie was gonna be mad at Niah for leaving the hospital like that but he also knew Niah needed the lecture that Bonnie might give her.

"I look forward to it." Rose said to Cass with a wink. She was thankful they were back inside the pub. She needed a shower badly, but she'd let Cass go first. She looked around. The two guys (other than Jack who could apparently summon fire) weren't in the room, which was a little reliving since she didn't like Colby. The kid was a danger to others.

"Well mom, this is... uh everyone, or nearly everyone." There were enough in their group she didn't feel like introducing them all. "How did team distraction go?" She asked. Sort of hoping that Colby had gotten killed or something. The group did seem upset about something and Roselia had blood, though no wound, on herself. It was a lot to take in and she didn't know what she missed, but what mattered was her mom was here and they could figure out their next step now. "What's the plan now Merlin?" She figured Megan would have to fight for her rightful place on the throne or something.

Colby went from confused to flustered real quick. He had just wanted to get away from the others. He didn't want to be in the same room as them anymore. Heck, he'd appreciate it if he could be on a different continent. Who did they all think they were? But here was Maddie being cute. And very drunk.

Colby wasn't a sleaze though. He wouldn't take advantage of Maddie. "I really did want to come up here to check on the cats, and get away from that girl." He said. Missing the flirt entirely. He wanted to kiss Maddie, but he wouldn't do that right now, that was a conversation for later.

He stepped into the room, feeling like he was half carrying Maddie. And helped him onto his bed. Before checking on the cats. Both were curled up and his black kitty Jack only yawned at him. Apparently annoyed at being bothered. He was going to have to call his cat something else if they stayed with the main group since there was a Jack among them and he didn't want to cause confusion.

Andy didn't know what a Morlock was. It just made her think of WoW, but those were Murlocs. Did Veil mean the creatures from 'The Time Machine'? Andy shivered a bit, sliding off of Stareyes. "Thanks anyway I guess." She shrugged. Now all she could imagine as she climbed down into the sewer was the gaunt faces of the Morlocks from the 2002 version of the movie. Those were way scarier than the 1960 version. She remembered the pit of water full of bones and was relieved that it was rats they had to contend with instead of cannibals. She had never read the book so she didn't know how different the creatures were from the book, but as a B movie aficionado, she loved the movie (especially the 1960 version which was significantly less scary). That movie had the classic problem a lot of movies from that time did and there was just so much talking, but the special effects were so bad it was hilarious.

At least they had something resembling light powers with whatever it was that Havoc did. And Stareyes had her laser eyes. They probably would do okay against Morlocks in that case. She crinkled her nose. It smelled gross and she was surrounded by rats. Andy was tempted to let a bit of electricity go off. It would kill some of the rats and probably piss off the rest, oh and of course water was conductive. So with the others getting into the sewer, she might hurt them so she didn't want to do that.

Ed was using the time in space where he had no serious obligations reading. He had brought along a small stack of books. He didn't like that they had to be physical books but it was really hard to find magical texts on kindle. Ed did have an anatomy book on a kindle though and was using that to work on learning how the human body worked. He had some idea mostly from his sister's learning of it when she was training, but he hadn't bothered to learn it that much. He wasn't the greatest healer in ten generations.

It was a little hard to read with Pietro running around like a child. Ed was surprised he hadn't been asking 'are we there yet?' with how impatient he was being. Ed did his best to not be annoyed, but it wasn't easy. Thankfully, Guin seemed to have distracted him. He obviously didn't know what they were saying to each other since they were talking telepathically, but at least she had him stop running around. Ed went back to his reading.

Andy smiled at Arthur. Her heart seemed to hurt, her whole chest felt compressed for a moment. She took a deep breath. Andy knew she would always make decisions around Arthur. How best she could protect him, how best to take care of him and keep him safe and happy. Andy didn't know the words or how to express them, but she would tear apart the universe to protect Arthur.

"I want to go back to the ship and see if Gryf will let me ride him into battle." She smiled. "Maybe he'll take both of us. If not you sh-..can stay on the ship."

When Madalyne returned Andy nodded. "Well she wanted me to look into your family tree. I have a theory, but I don't know if I can prove it unless your records are magically updated or something. I don't know my parent's names. I was abandoned at two." She confessed. Her birth name was even unknown to her. But there was a reason Hecate had told her to look at the Crane family records. And knowing that Madalyne was a child of her...well that made Andy a little uncomfortable. Would Arthur still like her if she was somehow related to the goddess that had taken away one of his oldest friends?

"We should get going though to join the battle. I don't want them waiting for us for too long." Andy said. She was glad Madylne had already said they'd look at the records after the fight.

The voices rode in on a wave of madness. Em leaned into Marco's touch. It grounded her. Reassured her. But the sirens were going off. The battle had found the Romans. What the fifth had done to the sewers would help. However, this hole wouldn't. There was too much of a risk with it. She had to make a choice. Stay with Waverly and Demi or join the battle. Demi left too. Turning into a dragon and joining the battle above. Now she had to stay. Someone had to be there in case monsters tried to come up through the Labyrinth. And she couldn't leave Waverly unprotected.

Em turned and grabbed Marco's hand real quick and kissed him. "Go battle my love. I will stay here and hold the madness at bay."

With that taken care of Emily did the only thing she could do. She pushed back at the madness. She felt it recede away from her. The madness no longer clawed at her. She then threw a seed through the hole in the wall and eased it into the growing. Smiling, happy that it would work through the magic of the Labyrinth. "I'm here for you Waves." Now if anything else came at Waverly she could help fight it with the plant, and she'd made herself sane again.

Only Alannah and Lauryn joined Niah on the ship. All the other Greeks went to the Field of Mars. That seemed very Greek. There was a plan to have at least some of them fight from the air, but here they were running off. She sighed but listened closely to Alannah as she explained the layout of the ship.

"Certainly. I'd love to learn how to fly her." All ships were female, even flying ones. A thought crossed her mind, her mother was a river of course she hated being in the air. It suddenly explained her issues. Yeah, she wasn't afraid she just didn't like it and now she knew why. She felt a little dumb for not realizing it sooner.

"How good are the little ones at fighting? They are so young." She asked, trying to be conversational, but also her ever practical self.

The fight devolved into chaos. Cass was bleeding from her face. In a sewer...that had to be unhygienic. They'd have to get that cleaned and taken care of right away to keep it from going septic. "I like it, but we got to make sure it doesn't get infected."

She was about to go back to trying to punch guards, having given up on her bow in such tight quarters. Thanking her lucky stars she had some skill in melee and distance. Before she could though Jack summoned fire and lobbed it at a guard killing them.

Rose covered her face when Hansel warned them. She felt her mother grab her hand and let herself get pulled through the sewers. She was still a little stunned that Jack had made a fireball. Who was his parent? She tried to remember if he had said. She should have written it down. Maybe they could have figured out what to expect from each person if they knew. Merlin would. They could ask him again. He had dodged the question before. Rose considered what she knew about her mother and figured she'd was normal, well as normal as one could get when they were a fairytale.

Colby was done. He just wanted to leave and have nothing to do with any of them ever again. Except for Maddie. Who was touching him. A month ago he would have been annoyed at the touch. Heck up till forty-eight hours ago he would have been annoyed. It was weird how the day had started so normally. Everything had gone sideways.

He wanted to grumble and make a face and tell Maddie to stop. But the warmth of his hand on his arm was nice so he didn't pull away. It was like a cat who decided that since it was being touched anyway they might as well allow it. "Uh, I had a weight lifting class at school." He admitted, a small blush warming his cheeks, which he covered up by getting a drink as well.

He decided that unless he had to he wasn't going to interact with Rosalia. There was no reason to at the moment so he ignored her. "Let's get the cats." He told Maddie and started to make his way back to their room where Jack and Carroll were.

Niah nodded at Amelia's assessment. She guessed that Oliver messed up the date. Everything else he said sounded right. And he corrected that quickly enough. "Give me your jacket or something." She said, Oliver held out his arm and he touched the fabric. A part of her was thankful it only worked on things and not people, but if it worked on people it would make this a whole lot easier. At first, all she seemed to get was fuzzy memories of the Hospital. It was unsettling to see that from his perspective. She let go and tried again, this time the flashes while small and fuzzy stretched back far enough she felt certain Oliver wasn't a Skrull. [color=0080ff]"I don't think he is one. Amelia, next?"[/]

Amelia held out her own bit of clothing and Niah touched it. There was a lot of screaming, most of it seemed to be in joy. She flinched a bit at it though. "You scream a lot." She said and readjusted her touch, this time she got a swath of flashes and nodded. "Yeah, that's way too complex for a summoned shirt, and I don't sense anyone stealing the shirt off your real body and ditching you or something like that. I'd say Amelia isn't Skrull." That left Sparky and Raynor. She felt like Raynor was probably fine this time...but she'd check anyway.

Matt got a funny image of Niah telling the President to give her some of his clothing and snorted. He leaned over, "Wait till Niah asks Jakobsen for a bit of his clothing." He didn't know that Niah already knew Jakobsen, if he did the image might be even funnier.

"So who is next?" Matt asked. If they could clear this part of the group, then get in the ship and clear the rest of the Secret Warrior team it would be a good start. Of course, there was also not just Jakobsen on the ship. The others would have to be cleared too. He knew Hawkeye wouldn't take off until he felt confident that no one was a Skrull.

There was also the Doctor that Oliver and Niah mentioned. Would they be joining them? What had Oliver and Niah learned that was so important that they had to wait until after everyone was cleared?
