Ed was confused. Weren't they suppose to be trying to talk their way out of this? Why had Pietro snapped like that? He could feel the gas starting to make him pass out and didn't know what he could hope to accomplish. Among the group, almost all had done something to incriminate themselves. Forget being in an area that was forbidden for some reason. Now they had attacking and killing space cops on whatever rap sheet space had.

"Listen we were just trying to find someone. Our friend died right before you guys boarded. Everyone is freaked out right now. Please, this is all a misunderstanding." Why had they attacked Nova Corps? What had they been thinking. Ed couldn't allow himself to pass out. He touched his chest and sent healing magic into his lungs hoping it would keep him from falling asleep. If they fell asleep that'd be the end. They'd end up in jail and there would be no way out of it, because they were guilty of attacking the damn space cops.

It was working. He could feel the fog of sleepiness start to lift. He sighed relieved and realized his mistake. He couldn't hold his breath. The air was saturated. Darkness started to form in his vision and he knelt down. "Don't hurt them." His voice quiet.

More Harpies were attacking them. Her brother was off trying to get Nancy and Jason out of the grips of other ones. There were so many enemies. It was overwhelming. Then rockets were going off, and she didn't know what it meant. Andy could guess though. They needed to get back to the Argo III.

She held out her hand, blood dripping from her cuts. Electricity flashed around her. Hitting several of the Harpies. Clearing the way for them to get back to the ship. "Back to the ship Gryf!" They were being overwhelmed. She wondered if the rockets were declaring retreat. Gryf turned and got them back to the Argo III.

Em returned Waverly's hug. "No way I'm letting two Probatio fight a Giant alone." Emily herself was only a Legionnaire, which was by design. She had never wanted to raise in ranks any higher. This was the station she was happy at.

Marco's face appeared. It was one of those Iris messages that the Greeks used since she had his compact. "I'm okay Marco. Evacuate. I'm not in the sewers anymore. Ariadne appeared. We've got a task here to deal with." She couldn't say the words that she had stepped into the Labyrinth. But she knew that Marco would understand. "I've got the compact. I'll contact you as soon as I can. I love you."

She didn't want it to sound like a final goodbye but it felt like it was. Em was thankful she had kissed him before he had ridden the Dragon-Demi off to the battle. Thankful he was okay and still alive.

"New Rome has fallen." She said to the others. "Let us complete the task before us in defiance of what has destroyed our home." She was angry. Her home for the last five years was gone. She was supposed to be able to leave here and go about her life, not carry the burden that so many had died. "Lead the way Ariadne."

They were being overwhelmed. New Rome could not stand against this. Niah's chest tightened. The rockets went off. Signaling the retreat. The battle had been lost. Did Mads still have the cyrstal? Had they been able to protect Terminus? Would he retreat? So many questions.

"We have to cover the retreat. We've lost." Niah said. Her voice cracking. The right decision had been made though. The retreat was the only option. Hopefully, the important things were still safe. Maybe someday they could come back here and rebuild. Maybe. Niah started to lay down covering fire for the retreating soldiers.

Rose wondered why their house had caught fire, and what the wolf had been protecting her from. Or maybe it was that the wolf had been growling at her mom. She had said 'we' who was the other half of that? As Rose went to follow her mom up the stairs the door opened, she turned around. The tension in the room ratched it up when a man walked in.

He set off the alarm bells in her head. Her hands went to her bow. She darted a look at Jack. The cop looked confused and worried. Who was this man? Was he Jack's dad? If so...their reunion was not going as well as Rose's had gone with Red. She didn't draw her bow, but she was ready.

Havok's explanation made sense. Casper had seemed super unhinged, but if he could see a ghost that explained it. She shivered at the idea...and the snow. Andy had had way too many nightmares of the ghosts in her past she hated that this meant ghosts were real. Her stomach twisted and she tried to pace.

Andy couldn't really pace. The space was too small and too unstable. She also couldn't shake her leg. Her two main nervous habits. She could only listen through the phone. Her lifeline to what was happening on the other side of the rubble. Extraction was happening. They were getting Veil out first, which was good. She was okay with that.

She wished she could help. Wished there was anything she could do, but so far all she had done was make it worse. She could have killed them all if she hadn't gotten the debris that she had tried to move back in place fast enough. There was some irony that Stareyes was the safest since she was a frozen block at the moment.

Could he have used his shield as a fire suppression? Ed didn't know. He hadn't time to think about it. To react. To do anything. Iris was dead. He focused, closing his eyes for a moment. Another person is gone. He hadn't considered a friend. He hadn't gotten close. Hadn't allowed it. This reinforced it. Built another wall. Slammed down between him and the group. Death could come for them at any moment.

He took a slow deep breath and then focused his magic onto his arm. He knew he had to look like an ass. Not reacting to Iris' death. He thought of Mira and wondered what she would think when she found out what happened. They had to focus on the task at hand though. They were about to be arrested for a crime they hadn't known they were committing. They still had to find Dr. Banner. Could they talk their way out of the arrest and continue or would this be drawn out?

Orange light surrounded his arm weakly. His burn soothed, but it was still there. Hopefully, it would keep it from getting an infection at least. Ed knew that was the best that could be done for now.

Niah was in pain. She also understood the phantom itch thing now, which was super irritating. The silliness of the drugs had worn off. But a part of her that had broken when the bear had almost killed her was more carefree than she had been in years. She was in a better mood than she had been since before joining Phase Three even.

She smiled at Bonnie. "It feels like my leg is on fire a bit. And my foot itches, but I suppose I'll get used to that." She smiled. "I trust your judgement. I'd rather not be punch drunk silly again though." She followed Bonnie out carefully to the set-up table outside. She raised an eyebrow at Fury being there. Remembering her fear of him being an imposter long before they knew about Skrulls. But Goose was content with him so he had to be himself. He couldn't be an LMD or a Skrull. Goose wouldn't have allowed it. So any tightening in her chest went away immediately.

"Good morning Fury. Pleasure seeing you again." She smiled at him. Her eyes scanning the rest of the group. Many she had met, some wouldn't remember meeting her. Like Spiderman. She hadn't met the Black Panther, but she had met his sister, which reminded Niah that Kwassi had said he was from Wakanda. And even though the thought of Wakanda brought so much pain to Niah she was still smiling.

Matt hadn't minded sleeping on the floor. He had definitely slept in weird and harder-to-sleep places. "Morning dear." He said kissing Cass good morning before following her outside to join the others. He went for a cup of coffee first. His routine normally included a workout before coffee but he needed the extra jolt of energy for the conversation they were bound to have.

He had not been with the Secret Warriors while Fury had been in charge, though he had been part of SHIELD. He was surprised that he was in Barton's super-secret place. But no one seemed to be bothered by it. Matt took a seat leaving an empty spot next to him for Cass. There was going to be another round of introductions he thought. He knew most everyone at the table by reputation, but not everyone.

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.

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.

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'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."

"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.

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.
