Location: The air on Gryf's back
Skill: Electrokinsis





For a moment Andy was happy that the dragon that she had killed wasn't going to crush any demi-gods below. But that quickly changed to horror as the zombie-dragon started attacking them. She gave a small sigh of relief. "It is okay. He didn't get us. Maybe start with smaller things first?" She offered some advice. Dragons didn't seem like a good place to start trying to learn how to raise and control the dead.

Andy tried to calm Gryf down, but he seemed extra pissed with the damage he had taken. He even hissed at her. "Sorry Gryf. I promise I'll clean it up and put bandages on it for you." She felt bad that he had gotten hurt trying to help her.

She turned her attention to the creatures around them. Her best attack was lighting. It had good range and tended to murder most things easily enough. She hit two harpies with it and watched them fall from the sky. Those hitting a demi-god unfortunate enough to be under it when it fell would be less likely to kill them at least. She sent out another blast but winced as she realized it was another Gryphon. She felt bad about hurting Gryphons now. In the long run that was stupid, especially since she probably only pissed the creature off. It didn't die.

"See if you can keep the creatures that get too close away. I'll go for the farther away ones." Andy offered advice to Arthur. If he could keep Gryph from being attacked again that'd keep them in the air. She didn't want to fall to her death because Gryph was hurt.








Location: New Rome: Sewers -> The Labyrinth
Skills: Madness; Chloroikinsis



As much as Em hated the idea of it she was going to have to enter the Labrythin. It was like walking through sludge mentally. Thankfully with Ariadne there, it wasn't as bad as it would have been. She shook off the feeling. "Alright. I'm here to help then." Three demi-gods and a goddess. They could fight a titan...hopefully. Of course, all the demi-gods were Fifth Cohort so it wasn't Rome's best people.

She turned to face the hole they had come through. Em didn't know if the monsters could use it to get into New Rome and she didn't want to take the chance so she tried to get her plants to grow and cover the hole up. "Sean, forgive me I have failed to keep track of everyone in the Cohorts skill levels, but how are you with weapons?" She was good with a sword, and they had Waves' magic. They needed a plan.








Location: Argo III
Skills: Siege engine



Niah had a simple task. Destroy anything that didn't belong in her home. There was a lot of that. Siege weapons were one of her favorite tools too. She had spent a whole year working on learning how to operate all the ones New Rome had on hand and had become quite good at the War Games with them.

Her demi-god skills didn't lend to being great at fighting. Because of that, she had made an effort to be good at physical fighting, and tactics. She took a look at the field and what monsters were attacking. Taking out the ones in the air was their best option. It was a lot harder for those on the ground to fight in the air. She did see that the kids were riding on the back of a Gryphon. It must be friendly so she wouldn't hit that one.

Niah aimed at Harpy and missed. She really disliked Harpies. Hated might even be accurate. She had nearly been killed by one once when they pulled her off a rock wall she had been climbing to get to the Dragon's lair. The same lair they had gotten the gem they were fighting to protect from. Niah shook the memory away and focused.

She took three more shots. In the processing taking out two of the other Gryphons completely and injuring a third. It was a good amount of work, but there were so many monsters she had no idea if it would help turn the tids. She had to keep trying.

"I do have a bunch of questions, but I'm going to start with this one. I have this memory of a wolf, it was growling but it was standing in front of me facing away. Like it was growling at something coming toward me. I've always liked wolves because of this memory, but is that real? Did that happen? Or was it some kid fantasy thing?" Rose wasn't sure about kid fantasies in a world that three days ago she would have called a fantasy.

Rose lifted her head as Willow called for Merlin. Wondering what was going on that she needed his help. Though there did seem to be a lot of noise coming from upstairs. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Red. "Think we should investigate?" She was curious about what all the ruckas was for.




Colby Jackson


Location: Camelot
Skills:





Colby's face was scratched up by the birds. What had happened? He had no idea why the birds were in the room attacking. This seemed like some weird magic thing. He grabbed a blanket off the bed and used it to catch some of the birds. He was able to get five of the crows. Corvids are notoriously smart. Could they be trained birds? "That's what you get for ruining my game of Go Fish. I was winning." He paused. "Wait you weren't attacking cause you thought we actually had fish right?" He asked the birds as if they could actually answer him.

Meanwhile, Jack, that cat, stretched and started swatting at a bird nearby. The cat seemed immensely pleased with the prospect of murdering a bird. Even if the bird was able to escape. Colby shook his head. "Come on Jack you're better at this than that. Cats are responsible for the extinction of 33 species you can kill one apparently magical crow hell bent on murdering us."




Location: Veil’s Group: Sewers
Skills: Enhanced Reflexes (passive), Perception, slight of hand





"Uh, hey Waves. Yep, just trapped under this pile of rubble. Glad you guys found us because I do not want to die here. Veil saved us with her shield, but is she okay? I don't know what happened to her." It was pretty dark. She could tell that Saphire was alive at least, which explained why it was snowing. "So Stareyes, you know the other new person that joined with me. She got shot by a SHIELD agent and then Saphire froze her. I don't know if she survived that or not. But Saphire is wigging out like she's high or something now." Andy was babbling and she knew that, but Waves was a voice. A voice that promised hope.

"Who is Ben?" Andy asked very confusedly. She made her way over to where she hoped the rescue operation was being mounted and looked among the debris with the light from the phone trying to find something she could move to help. One looked promising, but it apparently was load-bearing. Quick as she could she shoved it back into place and the imminent death tumble of stone stopped. Right, she'd leave the digging-out rescue operation to people who could actually see what they were doing.


Ed Penior




Location: Space
Skills: Thamaturgy: Shield



Honestly, Ed was unsurprised by the turn of events. Of course, there were space cops. And of course, the group had somehow ended up in some unauthorized part of space that the space cops took offense over. Had there been a sign? How were people supposed to know? He kept his concentration on the shield. He wondered if he could keep the Nova Corps off the ship with it.

Guin telling them that they were going to get boarded and arrested was not a great thing. One, that meant she had read their minds and he tried to not be annoyed with her for doing that. Two, that meant they probably were going to get arrested. Resiting arrest never ended well. Maybe they could talk their way out of it? Runa probably could convince them to not arrest them.

He wished he had had a chance to smoke a bit of his vape pen, which was an unexpected change for him since he hated the damn thing but it was safer than trying to bring a lighter on a spaceship.

"Goose! I love you too. I am sorry I do not have any treats, but I promise I will as soon as I can get to a store." She really did love that cat. He had helped her figure out that she could time travel. She was glad to see he was okay. She was sad to see him hurry off outside the jet, but it was his prerogative. If Goose had something to do she wasn't going to stop him. It'd be like trying to stop a sentient tank. She giggled at the image of Goose driving a tank, which she figured he probably could do anyway.

"Howdy." Niah said...to the President of the United States. "I fought a bear with Oliver. Pretty certain it created an alternate reality filled with our worst fears before trying to maul me to death, which you know for me is basically par for the course." She said shrugging slightly before turning to Bonnie and answering her question.

"I don't know sorry. I was mostly unconscious when they began the surgery." Niah's eyes lit up at the offered lollipop. "Heck yeah a lollipop. Thank you." She said before unwrapping the candy and starting to enjoy it. "Hi Cass." Niah said popping the lollipop out of her mouth. "Bonnie gave me a lollipop. I haven't had one of these in ages. Why do we as adults just deny ourselves simple pleasures like this? We face insane amounts of danger daily, especially us. And we just don't enjoy lollipops often enough for that kind of drama."

Matt stayed in his seat. He watched Evelyn for a moment. Thinking about her power set. It wasn't that dissimilar to his own. His secondary power that had been activated on the moon, thanks to Oliver, gave him the ability to pick up any weapon and intrinsically understand how it worked.

"Evelyn, you said your power was being able to mimic fighting styles after watching them. Have you gone out of your way to collect different fighting styles? Or let them cross your paths? I recently acquired a similar power and haven't had much chance to explore it." A part of him wanted to ask Evelyn if he could hold her sword just to see if he could now use it, but he wanted to chat a bit first.

Location: The air on Gryf's back
Skill: Electrokinsis





Gryf thankfully let Arthur on his back too. She didn't really want to part ways with Arthur but knew that when Gryf decided something there was no fighting the creature. He could easily kill any of them if he decided to turn. The ride up into the air was exhilarating. She had been nervous because of the fall from the tree. But this was amazing. Her heart pounded and her stomach twisted, but it was like a roller-coaster type of reaction. This was fun.

A couple of dragons headed their direction, but another dragon with a man singing on his back drew one of them away. That was weird, and she didn't know what to think about it. She guessed it might be Demi as the dragon. She had seen him turn into a baby one before. She focused on the other dragon and shot lighting at it, missing.

"Darn," She said before trying again. This time it was a direct hit and the dragon died. For a moment Andy regretted it as the body started to fall to the earth. Would it hit someone on their side?








Location: New Rome (sewers)
Skills: Madness; Chloroikinsis



"What is it you need help with?" She asked. She didn't dare say she'd help until she knew what it was that was needed. Emily knew how much gods could twist things. Even the nicer gods. But it was good practice to never allow yourself to get into a deal you didn't know the parameters of. No matter who you were talking to.

Though, she planned to help Ariadne. Even if it might require going into the Labyrinth. With Ariadne's help, they couldn't get lost, not really. And there would be three of them on the 'quest'. Emily couldn't leave them to an unknown fate. She wasn't that type of person.








Location: Argo III
Skills: Siege engine



The Argo III was actually really neat, Niah decided. The interface wasn't quite what she expected from this sort of thing, but honestly, it made sense. You have a bunch of kids making flying ships why wouldn't they smash together their current technology with what comes from their heritage.

"That's really cool, Alannah. I'm impressed. Can I give it a go?" She asked, and when handed the controls started trying to shoot at the dragons. Well, the ones that hadn't been carrying Romans on their backs. She'd have to ask Marco later where his dragon came from.

She turned her focus to the siege weapon. Something she was good at. Even with the different interfaces. She fired a shot at a dragon hitting it, but it kept flying. She took another shot. This time the dragon died and turned to glittery dust. Niah smiled. "Let me reiterate, this is super cool."




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





The world slowed down as it does sometimes when Andy was in a fight. Jamie was the one who had identified the secondary power for Andy. Explained what was happening. She was used to hand-to-hand combat, not guns. Not that she hadn't been shot at before. But bullets were so much faster. She moved, just slightly, just enough and the bullet grazed her. If she hadn't, she'd be dead.

Next to her Stareyes lacked the reflexes. She was on the ground. In the sewer. Bleeding out. Veil told Andy to grab her phone, which she did. She found the contact. That was easy enough. And pressed the call button. The phone rang. Then clicked as Spark Plug answered.

"Get Warlock and Cadacus to our location immediately." She said quickly. Her words almost running together. Stareyes was one of the people who joined at the same time as her. They'd only been with the group...less than twenty-four hours. Andy had seen one other die in almost the same way at the college. The bullet wound was in a slightly different place, but it was like that first meeting with the group was replaying. If Stareyes bled out restarting her heart wouldn't help any. If Andy even could. She had never tried to use her power to get someone's heart beating again.


Ed Penior




Location: Space
Skills: Thamaturgy: Shield



"Just let me know if you need any healing." Ed offered to those who had been electrocuted or tossed around by the ships shaking. He was glad he was sitting down for that whole ordeal. He concentrated, twisting the spell he had been preparing anyway just a little bit. A shield appeared around the ship. It was based on his idea of keeping them safe from the vacuum of space but reversed sort of. Things could pass out of the shield but not in.

So if Runa's peacekeeping attempt didn't work with the space cops and they fired on them again the ship should have a little bit of protection. And they could fire out at the Nova Corps. He didn't have anything else he could offer to help at this time, unfortunately. Maybe it was time to learn more about computers. Well, he supposed it was a little too late for that. He should have tried learning about computers more before this moment.



Niah Bautista





Location: Mount Rushmore, South Dakota
Skills: Oath binding?, Odikinesis, Armor Control



Dang harpies pulled Niah's hands from the rock wall and she started to fall. The first thing she did though wasn't trying to control the armor no it was stopping the Harpies from attacking. There was only one left. "I bind you by the River Styx to stop attacking us." She didn't feel the normal rise in power that she did when she bound someone by an oath, which made sense this wasn't an Oath. She went a different approach. She also had Odikinesis. A gift she never understood why she got. She was no child of Mars or to her knowledge a legacy of him.

Sometimes using it had the opposite reaction the one Mars preferred. But she liked to use it to calm people down. To get them to lose their battle fury. And it worked. Now she could focus on the armor. But nothing happened. She was still falling. "Hold on tight!" She screamed. Of course, the fall was her fault. Of course, she was going to drag them down to their deaths because she couldn't control the damn armor well enough.







Location: Boardwalk
Skills: Psychometry





Niah winced as Bonnie yelled, it killed the smile she had as Dr. Larson talked about why she was betraying the Kree empire. Someone had ratted her out as hurt, she had a good idea it was probably Matt. "Coming." She said and then turned to Kwassi. "You pointed a gun at the president? I mean at least his wife isn't here but wow. Also, wait, your Wakandan? I've been there! Admittedly it was..." Niah trailed off. Did she talk about the alternate realities not knowing who was safe? Kwassi hadn't been there for any of that. "We'll talk about it later." She said. "I'm gonna go get myself chewed out by Bonnie." Niah knew what was coming, she'd have to be unconscious to not.

She made her way in her fancy Kree-tech wheelchair that wasn't always a wheelchair up to the ship. "Hi Bonnie. We fought a bear that eats fear and we defeated it, but it almost...Well, it was a good thing we were in a hospital." Niah had been really close to dying in the fight with the bear. It was only on that precipice of death that she let go of her fear. She didn't really understand that even now. A part of her still believed that Oliver somehow defeated the bear.

"Here let me see if you're a Skrull" She reached up to touch a part of Bonnie's sleeve but as her fingers brushed Bonnie's skin she got a few flashes, at least none of them were Bonnie and Flynn kissing. "Oh...Well, you're not Skrull." She looked at her fingers. It had never worked on a person before why did it now? That was going to be super annoying. She already didn't like touching people because of germs and now she had a whole new level. At least it had become natural for her to wear gloves all the time. But that would make any hope of a relationship ever again really annoying. She suddenly understood how hard it was for Maria and Novi. If Maria was alive somewhere kidnapped by Skrulls, Niah would have to ask her when they found her how that worked.

Exactly as planned. Matt thought as Bonnie yelled for Niah. It was proof she was more irresponsible than anyone thought. Now the others just needed to get on the Quinjet so they could get out of there and to wherever it was Hawkeye was taking them all. Though, there were a few others that needed to be cleared. "Did the Skrulls seriously lock up a cat?" He asked. Not to anyone in particular.

He knew the cat was sort of like a mascot for the group. Showing up randomly. Supposedly the cat had been Fury's, and he asked the group to watch it for some reason. He should get the full story sometime. He decided to ask Cass later. He watched as the cat purred in Alexander's hands.
