Andy pulled back as all the adults started actually listening to Zari. She was glad they were finally. Zari had been trying to tell them she had been upset and no one had cared. They just brushed it off. Andy preferred being ignored, vanishing off to the sides of the room. So she did. She pulled away.

She watched with rapt attention though as they saw a young Zari with her mother. Her heart ached. God how it ached. There was a good chunk of jealousy though, but she was used to that. She wanted to ask Zari if her mother was still alive if she thought they'd reunite. She wanted to be angry at the girl and tell her how awful it could be. Sure Ash wasn't her biological mother, if she had been Andy would have never been abandoned. But Ash and Jamie had been as much as her parents as anyone ever could be.

When the image faded she closed her eyes and fought back her own sadness. Ash and Jamie weren't here. She slid out past the others into the hall. She didn't want to go any farther. Was too scared of what this place was and wasn't to leave the only people she knew. Even if she had only known them for two days. It didn't matter that she had met them months ago. Those months had never happened. And for all of that, she was seventeen now. One year more and there wouldn't be a system for her to be worried about getting lost in. One more year and she'd be an adult...if she survived.

A feeling washed through Ed that irritated him just a bit. He was worried about Annie. Needed to protect her. A part of him sighed and resigned. He had failed and gotten attached to people. If something were to happen to any of the group he would feel their loss. None, as much as his sister's, but it would hurt still. He didn't shrug away from Annie, instead, he let her press against him. She trembled. And if Ed had a child of his own he would consider the feeling of protectiveness he had toward Annie the same as it would for his child.

He kept his shield up, shoveling people to the side as best as he could as they made their way up to the next destination. He sent out flicks of force energy hitting guns out of guards' hands. It wasn't perfect, but there were eight fewer guns being pointed in the direction of his allies. He much preferred the guns removed from their hands. Though there was no telling who would pick them up now that they weren't attached to a guard.

Andy frowned at Cassian. "Says the person whose dad runs camp. My dad hasn't made much of an effort to talk to either of us. I only just barely saw him at the solstice and didn't even talk to him there. How would it be any different from the last eleven years?" She asked a bit in a huff. They hadn't invited Cassian over to talk to them and he was treating them like children, which fine they were, but still, it wasn't cool. "As of now, I've said more words to you than my father. What do you want anyway?"

Her day had been ruined by Apollo showing up and melting the snow. Now this older kid was trying to act like he was her friend. It was a bit frustrating. She looked over at her Aunt. Mads knew she was there watching, she had acknowledged her and Andy had acknowledged her back. But Mads hadn't waved her over so she was going to keep her distance. This looked like it was a Roman thing, and even if Andy had some Roman legacy in her that didn't make her part of their weird military thing.

Niah raised an eyebrow at Mads explanation for what had been in the box. She had no reason to doubt Mads. But it was a surprise. Why would Apollo risk that? Was he setting Nancy up? Jupiter had already punished him recently had that broken Apollo a bit? Made him want to lash out against his own children?

Her other eyebrow went up when Nancy asked for a bit of Mads blood. Niah looked over at Apollo sitting in his 'chariot' "Is this a setup or something? Is he trying to get you trouble with Jupiter?" She asked honestly. Niah was worried, she didn't want Nancy to get in trouble. She decided that if she had to she'd administer the Physician's Cure. She wouldn't let Jupiter's wrath hurt her friend.

Rose kept her smirk small seeing Megan take the lead. She wasn't the slightest bit surprised. She followed the lead ready to fight if necessary, but the need didn't arise. Rosalia had a good point. That had been too easy. It didn't sit right in Rose's stomach. There were also the random people thanking Jack now that he was found.

Merlin made them all invisible again and both Sierra and Layla were in firm agreement that leaving was the best plan. But that scream set her teeth on edge. She wanted to go too, but what if someone was being hurt. What if they could help that person? Rose hadn't thought of herself as a hero, she didn't want to start being dumb and going into situations that would be a very bad idea. She also didn't want to leave someone who was screaming to die or anything.

Rose knew Megan wouldn't care anymore though. She had her brother and would want to leave right that moment. Rose understood that. It was how she felt at the prison. She glanced at Merlin, he had gotten them this far. How did anyone do anything in this dang world without magic? She hated it. Wanted nothing to do with the Magic. She wanted to figure out how to survive with her brain and hands. Magic had gotten them this far though, hopefully it could get them out of the situation.

"It's not a demon cat." Colby defended. Though he couldn't actually be certain about that. He frowned when they were told to get back inside, but the urgency was enough to get him to move. "Come on up Silky." He said and patted his shoulder. Then the other. Jack jumped up followed swiftly by Silky. The weight seemed balanced well enough that it wouldn't be a distraction as long as both cats played nicly with each other, which it seemed like they would.

He hurried inside and looked at Maddie when he joined them. "You can't hear Silky? She told me her name. I know I'm good with cats but I've never heard them actually talk before." He was a little worried, but he tried to think about it rationally. He was in a world of magic and he was part cat. Maybe no cats had talked to him before because he couldn't, not that they couldn't.

He paused and looked at the black cat on his shoulder. "Can you talk to? Am I the actual cat whisperer?" Colby had been obsessed with Jackson Galaxy. That was where Jack's name actually came from. He had been named Jackson, but Colby only ever called him Jack.

"I can distract it while one of you goes for the gem. Once we have the gem we can either escape or kill it?" Niah would be perfectly happy dropping the whole of the mountain on the dragon if it came to that. She wasn't totally excited about the idea of playing distraction for the dragon, but she was decent enough with a sword, and out of the three of them could fly which gave her an advantage that the other two didn't have. As long as she was able to control the armor...and more importantly it didn't turn out to be cursed. A part of her still expected something to go wrong and the armor to try to kill her.

"Mads...Do you think you could make yourself invisible? Long enough to get the gem and get out?" Niah wasn't certain if the ability was possible, or if Mads had the strength after climbing. She still looked exahusted. "Even better if you can do it to both of you and you guys get in and out without being seen. Hopefully, the dragon doesn't have any extra back up." She looked toward their goal. They could sit and watch for a bit and see if they saw other creatures.

Ride or Die for the Republic (Morose & Kirah & Nallore)

"I am pleased you feel better." MZ-33 said taking Raynor's comment seriously. "I do not know how to use explosives. It is not in my programming. However, if you instruct me on what needs to be done I can follow the steps." MZ-33 said matter of factly.

A blue glow appeared showing the map of the droid facility. MZ-33 pointed to a room on it. "This is the primary power reactor room." A path lit up. "This was the planned path for the attack." There was a preganate pause and then MZ-33 said. "If we follow that path we are more likely to find resistance. It would be best to use whatever distraction the original team made to our advantage." It also would be less likely for them to find any survivors if there were ones to be found, but MZ-33 didn't say that. She wanted to see what Raynor's decision was without drawing the conclusions for him.

It was a test. Raynor could chose the more dangerous path that could lead to a higher chance of failure, capture or death. Or the safer path that was more likely to succeed. The harder path would also give them a chance to potentially save people. Neither was the correct answer, but MZ-33 knew which one her first master would have chosen.

"If you require other assistance let me know." It was a vague offer. Truthfully not very helpful considering how little Raynor knew about the droid's capabilities. If protocol droids blueprints were one thing someone had spilled oil over the blueprints that made MZ-33, and hadn't bothered to clean it up.

For a moment Niah didn't know what the outcome of this was going to be. She could only hope that the demon wouldn't win and take over her (or someone else over) and kill everyone she cared about. Any other outcome would be a better win for her, even if she died in the process. And while the President of the United States who used to run an organization that would have happily killed her was performing the exorcism it felt like she might die. Weirdly she was still okay with that though she knew it would make Bonnie sad and she didn't want to make Bonnie sad. Because yeah lacking the fear of death was the weird part of this day.

"I'm alive. I'm me." She said, wanting to move, sort of wanting to vomit from the pain. She thought of how Zoya had looked being aged preternaturally in front of her eyes. She thought of how someone who didn't exist anymore had had his heart ripped out in front of her. She thought of how Bonnie had stood between Niah and death and Niah had written reality so Bonnie hadn't died. She thought of Antoine and how he had convinced Niah to join Phase III but had died in the process. Yeah, she was still her. Head full of different realities with faces and names and deaths no one but her remembered. But she was still herself not some demon bear. She spit out some bile.

"Is there anything I can do?" Niah asked her voice raw. She didn't think there was much she could do since Spider-man had webbed her down to the table. God, she was tired.

Matt quickly stepped out when Bonnie told them to, he had been about to anyway, but he had to be honest with himself it was interesting to watch an actual exorcism be performed. He stood awkwardly outside the med-bay with the others. "We could go check on the flerkens." He suggested.

As much as Matt didn't particularly care for Niah hearing her scream like that was unsettling. But the screaming stopped and he hoped it was okay. He hoped Niah was okay. He didn't know her like the others since she hadn't been with the team when he had joined and he hadn't gone off to fight a demon bear with Oliver and her. What he did know about her was her devotion to her criminal sister and that was why he didn't like Niah. But if his own sibling turned out to be a criminal wouldn't he want to protect them too?

He walked out of the Quinjet and took a long deep breath of air. Matt had some idea of what Niah had been put through before he joined the team because of Cass, but he hadn't ever talked to Niah about it and he suddenly felt bad for judging her without getting to know her. Cass and her were friends he owed her at least to try to understand.

She grabbed her jacket and pulled it on checking the pockets. She was fine leaving the rest of her clothing since she had the stuff Max had magiked on her...provided that wouldn't just disappear later. She decided to grab the clothing and ball it up before tucking it under her arm.

Andy flinched. She couldn't help it. When Zari started yelling and slammed her sword into the table. She hoped for whoever had touched Zari's things that they wouldn't be found out. She wanted to shrink away and disappear. Something about how Sunshine talked about this place and how someone had been messing with Zari's things made a bit of sense.

There weren't rules, not like the laws among humans. Everyone was sort of their own law protecting what they wanted to protect. This woman hadn't cared to actually protect their things. "Zari, Sunshine said herself. This place they do whatever they like. You weren't there to stop it so they just did as they pleased. Now you're here they won't mess with it again." Her voice was quiet and low. Like she was Jamie teaching her how to punch something without hurting herself worse in the process.

"Hello Klara. A pleasure to see you again." Ed nodded to the young-looking woman who had joined them. It was nice to have additional backup. "Honestly, I think the guards just enjoy a fight." He shook his head. There were precautions against this sort of thing back on Earth. He was surprised that the supposedly hardest prison to escape was so easy to start a riot in.

Ed saw that Annie was distressed and placed his hand gently on her shoulder. "Come on it'll be okay." He tried to reassure her. The good news was he thought the right battery had been pulled. "Where to now Rocket?" He asked loudly over the gunfire and the alarm.

[hider=held roll]Ed will turn his shield into a pointed snow shovel to push people out of the way so the group can go where Rocket tells them.[/color]

Rose quietly sighed releived when they got to the other side of the bridge. Everyone ducking down and taking positions near the wall. When Sierra had her legs back Rose gave her a thumbs up with raised eyebrows asking silently if she was good. A common question from server to server across the floor when a customer might be annoying. She trusted Layla's count. Layla and Cass were hunters too. If Layla counted twenty there were twenty that she had seen. Rose knew there could always be someone she just didn't see. But there were going to be at least twenty.

She nodded at the idea of the stealth route. That was what she preferred normally anyway. You couldn't hunt deer by storming into their home. You needed to be quiet and nearly invisible. She considered the group. Those of them with hunting skills should go first to take out any opposition that was impossible to sneak past. Then the second bunch should be the ones with less skill for that sort of thing. And a third group taking up the rear that could deal with any threat coming from behind. She knew that Megan would insist on being in the front, and she couldn't blame her for that.

"I think Cass, Megan and I should take the lead. Layla you could cover the rear of the group so if anyone sneaks up from behind us you can take them out before they are a threat." Rose suggested. It was a good mix. Megan was a melee fighter and Cass and Rose could keep her covered if she decided to charge into a situation. Everyone else could figure out where they want to be in the group.

Colby joined Maddie outside and took the book to the page he had opened it to. He frowned for a moment looking at the page. Wondering why Maddie had picked that one. He shrugged and started following the directions on the page. If this worked it would be super cool. He recited the words and felt something inside him shift around. Like he had found the magic that was in his blood.

His skin tingled a little and then in between Maddie and himself at his feet slinked a beautiful cat. He recognized the breed instantly. It was a Serval. But there was a bit of magic in the air around, like Colby could taste it. The cat wasn't like Jack, who was pearched on Colby's shoulder looking at the new cat very curiously. Jack felt solid and looked solid. The new cat was softer edged.

"I summoned a cat." He said a little surprised and looked at Maddie. "Jack be nice to your new sibling." He told Jack and then set him down so the two cats could snif each other out. It took a moment but they both seemed appeased. Colby looked at the spell again reading the extra details. As far as he could tell the cat would just stick around and listen to him.

Colby knelt down and considered the cat, let it snif his fingers. "Now, what shall I call you." He said out loud.

"My name is Silky." He heard very clearly in his head from the cat. Colby's eyes went wide and he sat down on the ground.

"Maddie did you hear that?"
