Skills: Sympathetic: Healing



Ed appreciated Klara's efforts at healing him. He nodded to her, not entirely trusting himself to speak still. At least he didn't feel like he was going to collapse. He and Annie continued making their way up when he was shot again. This time it was a less serious wound, but it still hurt. He was working on pulling his shield back up, it would be good to have himself protected again.

The current goal post though was filled with guards. Ed was deciding how he wanted to deal with them when Runa took all of them out. Quite impressively. He entered the room, considered moving bodies, and decided against it. He needed to heal himself first and foremost. He would be of no use wounded. And while Klara had reduced the pain he was still hurt.

This was literally the largest crowd of people, not to mention mutants, that Andy had ever seen in her life. She had lived in big cities but had avoided the worst crowds. She hated them. Hated the press of bodies and the confusing patterns of large crowds. She wanted to disappear and wished that had been one of her powers instead of making her body spark and being quick to react.

She listened to the others introduce themselves. It was a mix of real names and codenames. (And Echo...echoing her own thoughts.) She didn't think she belonged there either. Sure she had wished to be a champion and be a great fighter and have crowds cheering her name, but this felt ill-fitting. She considered giving her real name, or the one she wanted to claim as her real name since she didn't know her birth name. Andy was used to her identity being fabricated. She also hoped that maybe this place would give her a chance to shrug off the past. To lose the ghosts that haunted her dreams. If any place could allow for that it was here. Even if she only wanted to melt into the fabric of society. She didn't want to be singled out.

But now it was her turn. All the other members of the group, she couldn't bring herself to think of it as her group because she wasn't part of them. Not really. She had been with them not even a full two days. The time frozen didn't count.

She took a deep breath and she said, with a small glance at Havok remembering his teasing of her chosen name, "I'm Thundering Champion." She waved and electricity sparked around her fingertips. It wasn't a major show, just a subtle thing that under normal circumstances only the first few rows of people would have been able to see, but since everything was being telepathically broadcast it would be clear to all.

There was no more Andy, not with that proclamation. She was now Thundering Champion. It didn't matter what her real name was, what any name she had gone as, all of that was wiped clean by twenty-thousand voices calling her Thundering Champion.
Emzie saw the decision be made. It was a hard one. And they respected Raynor for it. "Yes. It was not chosen as the original path because it goes past a guard station. If they are distracted enough we should experience minimum resistance." The route on the map changed. Flicking to a new path with a red mark where the guard station was.

There was no guarantee it would work. The whole mission was a Hail Mary in a war of Hail Mary's. This wasn't unusual for Emzie. They trusted the Jedi on those types of missions more than they would trust a non-Jedi. The Force gave the Jedi an advantage.

"There is also a route that requires passing through ducting." The map changed again. "This was not chosen because Clones would not fit."

"Unsurprisingly there is a tour group of kids. We'll keep you apprised of their location." Niah warned the group. She watched the screens that Sparky had pulled up. And grinned as Alex hit his Skrull counterpart. She understood the desire to punch the interlopers.

"Not subtle that one." She said to Sparky. In her gut, she didn't like Alex, but she was starting to warm up to him. It helped that he had literally saved her life. Without his background that was the reason she didn't like him, she'd be possessed by a demon bear. Sometimes you had to accept that enemies could become allies. The reverse was certainly true.

Niah watched Oliver nervously. His skills weren't ideal for this part of the mission. In her opinion, he should have been out here with Sparky and her. He wasn't a fighter, though he had proved capable of surviving some truly terrible situations. Hopefully, he would be alright. There was something reassuring about him though. After the events at the hospital, she trusted him more than anyone else. He had risked giving up on his mom for her.

Matt caught Raynor's nod and started toward one of the entrances into the Oval Office. Just as he was about to enter the room he heard Sparky over the radio let them know Alex had taken the initiative. He stepped in and moved toward one of the probably Skrull secret agents. Matt was better with a gun but didn't want the risk that came with shooting a gun in the White House. If he hadn't known better he would think he had been designed to be a gun user.

The guard must have been on high alert for the type of thing though. Matt had hoped that Alex's distraction of punching himself would have given him a bit of an edge. But as he went in for a swing the guard blocked it. Then used an opening to try to punch Matt. He was able to block that thankfully.

Matt pulled back for another punch. This time landing it and the guard collapsed to the ground unconscious. He blinked. That was unexpected, but not unwelcome.



Rose Buckner

Skills:





Rose had done what she could, she let Cass push her away and cover her exit. The smell of burning flesh got her moving even faster. Fire was unpleasant. And she knew it was a really bad way to go. She had no desire to be caught in that. She ran outside joining Sierra. Rose wondered what she had picked up.

Merlin made them invisible. She sighed relieved. It was relieving. Even if she didn't like relying on magic. The guards ran past them. That was good enough for her. Rose turned to Merlin and mouthed "Teleport us." Being invisible was great and all, but she'd much rather be safe at the tower than here.

Colby smiled, watching Matthew work magic. It was cool to watch. Colby decided he loved magic. It was cool. It was useful. "What about the others? We need to warn them that the tower is compromised." Colby asked Red. While he didn't care about everyone in the group, he didn't want them to actually get hurt.

"Come on, Maddie. Let me see the book." He held out his hand. There had to be a way to send a message to Merlin. He didn't want the others to come back to an ambush. He started flipping through the book as he made his way into the catacombs. He searched twice but couldn't find a spell that fit what he wanted. So much for that idea.

"I can't find a telepathy spell." He said handing the book back to Maddie. "Let's get out of here." He was going to keep his hands to himself this time. That was for certain.

Location: Dining Pavillion -> Woods
Skill:





Andy nodded at her aunt. She wanted to go with her. "Come on Arthur." She took his hand and followed after Mads. She looked over her shoulder at Cassian, so that only he could see, and stuck out her tongue. Once they were into the forest Andy kept a bit of distance from Nancy and Mads. She wanted to give Mads and Nancy a bit of space.

She didn't let go of Arthur's hand. It felt good to have him there next to her. Andy wanted to know what the vision had been about. She wanted to know what the gift from Apollo was. But she hated being the one to ask questions. She hated drawing attention to herself. A pang of missing Ash crossed through her heart. Ash always asked questions.








Location: Dining Pavilion -> Woods
Skills:



Niah rolled her eyes a bit at Cassian. He was a strange one. She watched Nancy walk off to the woods. She supposed that worked too. Maybe better than the tent. This way they could see if anyone was near them listening. Instead of not being able to see who was around the tent trying to listen to their conversation.

She followed Mads and saw that the kids were following too. That was Mads prerogative since Andy was her niece, which made the girl at least part Roman. Though she had never seen Lupa. Niah wondered if Andy would survive meeting Lupa. The girl was more Greek than Roman. Niah only knew of one Greek who Lupa had allowed to pass the trials, Percy.

Andy listened to Zari from the hall. She was glad she could hear what she said. Suddenly, Zari made a lot more sense. She stayed leaning against the wall. Zari's parents worked for SHIELD, but as far as they were concerned Zari didn't even exist. No wonder she was so protective over her stuff. Her parents didn't know she existed yet. Well if Andy's math was right her mom would be pregnant right now. If Zari showed up and talked with her parents she could really mess up her own timeline.

Talk about bizarre.

Everyone was stressed. And she just wanted to disappear. She didn't have a place in this. But she had told Zari she would help her if she needed it. Zari hadn't asked for her help, but she had promised. So she would stay. She would help if she could. Andy kept her promises.


Ed Penior

Skills: Sympathetic: Healing



Ed hissed as he was shot. His shield dropped as he was unable to maintain concentration on it. Shit. He mentally cursed. Annie had been shot too and she was half carrying him. He needed to heal both of them, but it would be easier when they weren't being shot at.

"Are you okay?" He asked feeling bad for using her to steady himself. On the plus side, the contact with her would make healing her easier, if he could concentrate enough for it. He pulled his magic up, it was a struggle. The magic was distant and weak. There was no way he'd be able to heal both of them.

Ed let the magic flow from his fingers into Annie. Not even directing it at her wound specifically, just into her. His side ached. And when the magic stopped he worried for a moment that he had reached too far. Pushed himself just enough to break whatever part of his x-gene that gave him his magic. He wanted to be upset about that, but the pain was enough that he couldn't be bothered. He'd worry about it later. When he wasn't being shot at.

Niah was irritated at being sidelined, but she suspected so was Sparky. She got it, though. She still couldn't walk unassisted. It turns out having your leg removed took time to heal from. Especially if you were already touch-sensitive. At least she was possessed any more. It was a lot to process.

She watched as the group of kids wandering the White House for the tour. Wander might not be the best word since they were being guided. She hoped that with whatever happened, the kids would be safe. She glanced at Sparky. "We should warn the team about the kids. Don't want them to accidentally cause an incident." There would definitely be an incident, but having the kids caught in the crossfire would be really bad. She also wondered where Jade was. She didn't like the First Lady apparently being MIA, even if she didn't like her.

Matt's face was set into a frown. He kept careful watch as anyone passed him. It was easy to fall into the ruse for him. While he hadn't been a spy, he had been trained in reconnaissance. This wasn't far off from what he had done with the SBS. Minus the ship. He had never anticipated being a spy inside the White House, with the mission of bringing down an imposter President. His choice to join SHIELD continues to give him more surprises. As he stood there, he had to resist the urge to smile at Cass, hence the frown.

He watched Captain America step into the Oval Office. He had been in agreement with some of Hill's Laws. He had been fighting with the Skrulls against Captain America. And now he had flipped sides. Proof that mankind was fallible. But hopefully, they could appear just incompetent enough that they didn't become a threat while expelling the Skrull threat. How they weren't already considered a threat was a bit funny considering the fight with Thanos, but that had appeared to be a failure if someone was looking from the outside. Thanos had come to kill Oliver and as far as Thanos was concerned he had succeeded. That was probably how they maintained the 'non-threat' status. If things continued in this way though, Matt wondered, how much longer they could keep that.




Rose Buckner


Location: Rumple's hideout
Skills:





"That doesn't make it any easier to hear." She said back to Cass. Her heart sinking to her stomach. They were going to just leave. She hated that. Hated coming to the rescue of one person and letting others suffer. Then Rumple was there throwing the severed heads of the people that Jack had tried to save. Rose was certain that the screams they had heard were from those people.

Bile rose alongside anger and she raised her bow with the already nocked arrow and it flew wild missing Rumple. She drew another arrow, this time as it loosed it hit him the shoulder. She needed to move away and get to safety. She couldn't go toe-to-toe with a magic-user. She had seen how badly that had ended last time. But she couldn't let his crimes go unanswered. The third arrow hit him in the chest.

Rose moved back, away from Rumple and out of the room. She didn't want to be in there when more magic started flying around.

Colby snorted, laughing at Gretel punching her brother. "I don't care if it makes me look crazy or not." He shrugged. "Besides we're all mad where I come from anyway right?" He grinned again.

"Doesn't this place have magical defenses?" Colby asked Red. He didn't particularly want to go back into the catacombs. Having two cats on his shoulder would make it harder to get past all the skeletons. He looked to Maddie. "You could summon the demon bunny again and sic it after the guards." He suggested. "Though make sure you summon it outside and not in here."
