Runa Johansson

Location: Hotel Valhalla - Feast Hall of the Slain -> Floor 21
Skills: N/A

As the elevator stopped on floor twenty one, Runa didn't feel any sort of connection to it. She didn't see it as her floor - she didn't even feel like her room here was her own. It was truly a hotel, just a place to pass in and out of, not the rich and vibrant afterlife of the Summerland that she had been anticipating. Her mind fixated on the negative, struggling to see any positives in this situation. There was so much that was wrong with her afterlife, so much guilt that she felt for the choices she had made so far, and as well for some she hadn't - for instance, she felt incredibly guilty to even have been born. Balder wasn't supposed to have any recently deceased children from what she could tell.

She swallowed, standing instead of sitting on the sofa. "When I died, I didn't wake up at Hotel Valhalla," she said softly. "I was in the land of the damned and the gatekeeper, he said You should not be here daughter of Balder, you shall not find him... and then I was here... And um... Loki then tried to strike a deal with me, b-but I promise I didn't trust him, I'm not a spy or anything, I just... Balder isn't my dad. I've never met him. A-and I was worried you would all think this was all my fault, the end of the world..."

Bonnie Chase


Location: Outside Cap's Apartment
Skills: Blessing of Athena
The revelation that Flynn was a skrull had been a distraction, Bonnie realized in hindsight. Skrulls had slowly been popping up for months now. Their bark was louder than their bite, but the mission in front of them hadn't changed. They needed to bring Captain America in. They needed to arrest the Sentinel of Liberty. She didn't have qualms about arresting Captain America because of who he was. Had he not been famous, would everyone on the team be objecting so harshly? Would this division be here?

No, Captain America was the same as everyone else and he had to be held accountable. If he couldn't abide by Hill's Laws, then he couldn't legally operate as an Avenger anymore. Things had gotten out of control in the last ten years, with the number of vigilantes and beings with extraordinary power growing at an exponential rate. And it wasn't just that, there were children with powers - kids who might see Spider-Man swinging on a web and try to fight crime, only to end up killed.

She sighed a bit as Niah made her impassioned case for Captain America's side. "He's Captain America. He's not Jesus," she said somewhat bluntly. "Do you honestly find anything wrong with anything Hill's put in motion? Revealing their secret identities to S.H.I.E.L.D., making sure that if people are going to fight crime they're trained for it, keeping kids from playing Avenger - what part of that is so bad? Cap's been above the law so long, all the capes have been. We don't let normal citizens go around with guns stoping burglaries, so why is it different if they can shoot lasers from their eyes?"

Agent 13 hadn't left yet, still standing there with her arms crossed. "It's the age old debate - freedom or security?" she commented. "But once you start making lists of people because they're different, well... That never ends well. That's something else."

Amelia Baptiste


Location: Levittown, PA
Skills: N/A
Amelia wasn't a huge fan of tunnels, largely since she adored being out in the open, flying through the sky. Ever since she had burst from that cocoon, she was able to manipulate the air around her. She had never felt more free. Down in a tunnel under the earth would cut her off from her newfound source of freedom - and of course, she was pretty certain the HYDRA operatives would find some way to meet them in the tunnel. They'd be trapped down there. "Captain Popsicle, that's pretty sick, the shield ya made, but we've got air travel. It's safer than going underground."

After Maria drained some of her powers, Amelia had a dizzy spell. The world was twirling before her eyes, even doing some pretty sick flips, before things stabilized. She came to just in time to see Maria dominate with her powers, sending a blast of air so powerful it knocked down the house the snipers had been hiding in. "That was... totally EPIC!" Amelia squealed. She was still mad at Maria for the trust fall stunt, but it was hard to be angry after seeing such an amazing display of power.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the only house with HYDRA agents. A weighted net shot out from the windows of a house to their right, ensnaring the four.

Veil & Casper


Location: Mutant Underground: Second Floor Hallway
Skills: Perception, Mediumship
Veil's eyes sharpened as Feedback relayed the events that had happened. She wasn't surprised that Jack had done something like that - he was a good person, but his family seemed to be crazier than a sack of cats. He had siblings in mental institutions and his other brother was Casper, who was... well, Casper. Sunshine's deep set aggression and abandonment issues likely had some sort of genetic factor. And of course, Jack's father was Mister Sinister, not the ideal parental figure. "Don't worry, we'll find them," Veil promised Feedback.

"Jack kidnapped Sunshine?" Casper repeated. He made a big deal out of rubbing his eyes, his face looking a little bit splotchy from the M-Pox coursing through his system. From a certain angle, it just looked like he had a horrible birthmark or sunburn - or that he was cosplaying as Prince Zuko. "Jackie? My little baby brother? I wish I could say I didn't see it coming, but my family is fuuucked up. Like seriously, one time my brother David tried to go back in time to kill Magneto... and I think maybe our dad too? I forget. I was super high at the time."

"Just a few minutes ago you were denying all of this and what, now you're playing the stressed out and responsible older sibling?!" Ben pointed out. Casper's hypocrisy made him feel physically ill - an impressive feat, as Ben had been dead for years.

"Hush, Ben, I'm processing. Now as for my clothes, I'm actually really feeling the toga right now, it gives a lovely breeze around the bits if you catch my drift," he said, before giving a little twirl. By some miracle, even as he moved his arms away from the sheet, it stayed firmly attached, preventing anyone from getting too much of an eye full. They would, however, be able to see his extensive tattoos.

Luckily, as James gently pushed Casper over towards his stuff, he didn't trip or fall over his own two feet. He was out of view of the door and Casper peeled out of the sheets, throwing on some underwear, a tank top, and a long black skirt. He put on a pair of socks and then some sneakers, before returning to James and doing yet another twirl. "I'm feeling this today. I think it screams time to rescue my brother and niece from my brother and niece."

Ben hit his palm against his forehead, mirroring the same exact action Veil took. "James asked you something."

"Oh, Ben saw the same thing happen I think, he mentioned it earlier," Casper relayed.

Veil looked at Max, quickly trying to size up how aware he was. He seemed like death warmed over. Glimpse's condition didn't seem to be much better. She wished that Havok would emerge to help deal with all of the chaos going on, but it was probably better that he hadn't come out with Polaris. She had no idea how Lorna would react to being back here. "Glimpse, stay still okay? James, Sapphire, one of you please help her," Veil requested. She needed to put together a quick team to go find Jack and Sunshine.

"Okay, the group coming with me to find them will be Feedback, Max, Spark Plug, and me. James and Sapphire, you're in charge. Max - can you make a magical tracker or something to find them?" Veil then asked. If Max couldn't do things by magic, then the next best thing would be to do traditional investigative work. They'd need to visit the locations Jack had frequented before moving to the Underground.




Location: Catwalk
Skills: N/A
Vinnie choked back a bit of vomit coming up as she saw Noah's lifeless body on the ground. For once, her hyperactive brain didn't have issues focusing. She couldn't stop looking at him, not until Tessa and Luke had helped her pull Y2K up to safety and she could force herself to turn around. But even then, the image was burned into her mind. She couldn't forget the battered mess that had once been a living and breathing person. She looked at Y2K. If they let Y2K die, then Noah would have died for no reason at all. If they let Y2K live and they all died, then Noah's sacrifice similarly would have been wasted. He threw his life away.

"H-how do we get to the limiter thingy?" Vinnie asked quietly. Unlike her normal onslaught of words with fifteen different tangents, she was quiet and straight to the point with her speech. Her hands were shaking ever so slightly and she looked a bit pale, likely due to the shock of witnessing death first hand. It was different than what had happened with the alien zombie robot person. She hadn't even known Noah that well, but she was incredibly shaken.


Raynor nodded at Zarina, as the full weight of his memories came rushing back to him. He had never expected to see Lana again and with her in front of him, his life felt complete. He felt like a dazed kid at Yule, in awe of everything beautiful in the world - definitely not the macho persona he had carefully crafted for himself. "We were best friends as kids - I'm Raynor Baldursen. And you're Lana Sparks... I thought you had... Well, I thought you had gone to Valhalla." Unlike earlier, when his words had exuded confidence, he now seemed more timid and uncertain. He snapped out of it though once he heard the commotion and Raynor drew his knife, the one token he had found in his room. "Let's get you out of here, before a bloodbath starts," he said to Lana.


✨ Rebecca Eventide ✨

Location: Argo III - Upper Deck
Skills: Trivia Knowledge

Rebecca's expression only changed slightly as Jason scolded her. She disagreed with his assessment. She had been trying to be sensitive towards Arthur's feelings, but he had insisted and she shared the truth with him. She also didn't see why Jason was so certain that Arthur would never befriend her. Perhaps he was projecting his own issues. She had enjoyed working with Arthur on his powers so far. "Jason, thank you for sharing your views, but you're misinformed. I have no ill will towards Arthur and I would be delighted to continue to tutor him in necromancy. I understand this is all rather new to you as well, so I won't hex you this time." She smiled ever so slightly to indicate that she was joking.

"Also, fun fact - the average person will shed approximately forty pounds of skin in their lifetime," she shared. She then shifted her thoughts back towards Arthur. She looked at him sympathetically. "When monsters die, they are sent to Tartarus and slowly reform over the years. By contrast, it's exceptionally difficult to kill a god, if not impossible," she explained. He had been asking about the difference between gods and monsters. "You were never normal, Arthur. Ignorance of your true nature does not mean it was not yet there. You were born half human, half god. You came from Hades' loins. You are a child of the God of the Dead."

"Personally, I don't put much stock in good and evil. I think the system is designed to limit us from reaching our true potential," she then admitted. "But I suppose to think in that system, by and large the gods do far more acts of service towards Western Civilization than they do misdeeds. The same could not be said for the Titans or the Giants, those who ruled before."

🌈 Leda Storm 🌈

Location: Argo III - Galley
Skills: N/A

"Bold of you to assume that I need to know anything about your personal life," Leda teased Demetri. She was sure that he had some secrets, everyone did, but she didn't really care to learn about them. His business was his business and she wasn't about to lose sleep over missing the chance to ask him who his childhood crush was. Nah, it was much better to take advantage of the situation and get him to make a fool of himself. Once they were friends - or better, close friends - then learning his secrets would become more relevant. If there was anyone whose secrets she wanted to know, at the moment it would be Kiera.

At first, Demetri only had the voice of Hannah Montana. She was a bit disappointed, about to insist that he had to try again and redo the dare, but he managed to shift into her at the last moment. Leda cackled, wishing that she could have put this on Hephaestus TV or something. He pretty much looked exactly at her and Leda could just see him twirling a small glowing wand and telling everyone that they were watching the Disney Channel. "Encore, encore!" Leda cheered. She hoped that Mary would pick dare. She was another shapeshifter, so maybe they could get her to turn into someone else silly, like Bieber. Or Bob Ross.

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

Location: Camp Jupiter - Cohort Barracks -> Caldecott Tunnel
Skills: N/A

Nancy grinned, approving of Madalyne's quick trick. It definitely was nice that they didn't need to head to the armory and find things to suit everyone. "It's California, mortals never notice anything here," Nancy agreed. The Mist was extra thick, so most likely the mortals would just think they were wearing gear for a soccer tournament or something along those lines. Of course, it would be pretty funny to one day see how mortals reacted to people wearing Roman armor. She left the barracks with the others, crossing the Little Tiber and leaving the boundaries of Camp Jupiter. The discussion of Uber and how it needed a bank account was giving her a bit of a headache trying to follow. Couldn't they just call up a taxi or something and pay with cash? She was a lot more comfortable with that option.

Although thankfully, Marco seemed to have it handled. "Uber doesn't even make sense. The word has nothing to do with cars or transportation," Nancy complained as she walked. "What happened to just hailing a taxi? Do people not do that anymore? And why can't you pay in cash for one of these Ubers?" she asked again. The mortal world was so odd. No one seemed to use Walkmans anymore, which in her opinion was the superior way to listen to music. Her walkman had been at her side constantly in the Lotus Hotel and Casino.


Guin Stark


Location: the Blackbird Hangar
Skills: Telepathy
Guin shook her head slightly as her thoughts cleared. Her eyes narrowed at Pietro. She couldn't believe that she was married to him. She had wasted years with him, letting him walk all over her and treat her like some fragile little bird that needed protecting. Her life had been perfect before he came into the picture - she had a kickass job at S.H.I.E.L.D., she didn't need to worry about reading people's thoughts by accident, and no one was accusing her of being a "bad bisexual" - whatever that meant - for being with a man. She had had the perfect balance of ordinary and extraordinary. She got to live in the city she adored, New York City, and the club bouncers let her in whenever she saw them. The bartenders had even known her drink, not caring that she was underage. "You ruined my life!" she screamed at Pietro, sending off a telepathic attack that he managed to block out. She then fired off the unibeam of her suit at the speedster, trying again to mentally whammy him at the same time.

Pietro's eyes widened before he barely managed to dodge out of the way of her laser attack, and once more mentally blocking out her mental attack. "Guina? What's gotten into you?" he asked her instantly, more then a little bit confused

"Oh, don't Guina me! That's not even my name! It's Guin! Rhymes with Win!" she snapped at him. "I'm sick and tired of being your little play thing! I should be on Mars right now with Mister Fantastic, not here wondering if I bought enough twinkies for my man child of a husband!"

"If you want to be technical your name isn't Guin either. It's Guinevere," he snapped back, still more then a little bit confused as to what exactly was going on and why Guin suddenly shifted that way.

"Don't call me fucking Guinevere! Do I look like I'm about to go bone Lancelot to you? Doth I wear drapes right now instead of my fucking sweet ass bit of armor? Oh, and let's not forget the reason I'm here - you made this happen to me! I was normal and then I met you and then my life turned upside down and now I can't walk into a Target in Alabama without being profiled for being queer and a mutant!"

Pietro was still insanely confused, before it suddenly hit him. Klara had said not to call her a water goddess, which meant that she had another domain, and based on the black aura and what seemed to be happening, it all made sense. "...She's a freaking love goddess, love hate, exact opposites, and the riddle right before that... Which means she just did a whammy thing to both Guina and the magic person... Great, this should be fun..." he muttered under his breath, before looking at Guin. "Guina, this isn't you, okay? Your mind was messed with by the Asgardian."

"There you go again, mansplaining to me what my thoughts and opinions are! Jesus fucking christ, can I Uber a divorce attorney or what?" Guin spat, before she charged straight at Pietro, trying to more or less run him over like a bug.

He was more then ready, waiting for her to charge him, and the perks of super speed came to be obvious, as he managed to grab onto her, rolling around and pinning her to the ground, and managing to knock her helmet off of her and far away too. "This isn't you, I know that Guina, and the fact that you need that explained to you says quite a bit don't you think?"

"My name is not Guina!" she screamed, trying to activate her thrusters in order to escape, but no matter how much she budged, he kept a tight grip on her. "F.R.I.D.A.Y., commandeer Veronica for me!" she ordered, hoping to hear the familiar chime of her A.I. following her orders without question. Veronica, of course, was the failsafe weapon in case the Hulk started to attack civilians.

"Yeah no bad idea really bad idea Guina," he said simply, before he gave her a kiss, and for Guin this would result in her being broken free from Klara's spell.

Guin blinked again, as her mind cleared once more. Unfortunately, she remembered everything she said and did. "Sorry for trying to kill you, babe - and for trying to roast you emotionally," she said sheepishly. "Now can you let go of me and give me back my helmet? The suit looks weird without it."

"Keyword there is try Guina," he said with a shrug, before getting up, going over and picking her helmet up off the ground and handing it to her.

Neil Spellman


Location: the Blackbird Hangar
Skills: Minor Molecular Combustion
Neil was incredibly confused as to what was going on with Guin and Pietro - then again, both of them were so annoying that he didn't even try to understand them. They were always either fighting or making out anyways. He frowned a bit though that Guin didn't seem to even acknowledge what Edus had said about it being a mental spell. She was the team's telepath with Xavier gone, it was her job to deal with this - but instead, she was just doing weird things with her husband. It made Neil want to barf and scream simultaneously.

Given that Annie indicated Edus' approach wasn't going to work and the telepath was distracted, Neil tried to take things into his own hands. He wanted to blind Klara. It would make it easier to restrain her and then they could figure out a way to break her free, but his priority was to save Carolina and Elizabeth. He clenched his fists together repeatedly, willing the organic matter in Klara's eyes to implode. Each try, his muscles screamed and ached in agony, wanting to give up rather than go again. He kept on until on the sixth try, he caused an explosion in front of Klara's left eye, blinding her as blood oozed from the wound.

At least now she would have horrible depth perception, something people with swords generally relied upon pretty heavily.
"I don't need comfort from you," Runa told Elizabeth a bit harshly. "What I need is for you to explain to me as best as you recall the mechanics of this game. My magic may not be as strong as it once was, but I would dishonor my ancestors and myself if I did not at least try to break the curse."

Bonnie Chase


Location: Outside Cap's Apartment
Skills: Blessing of Athena
Agent 13 shook her head at Cass. "Occupational hazard. I'll be fine," she reassured her. Despite having been attacked by aliens, Agent 13 was rather calm. Maybe she had seen far weirder things during her time living next to - and dating - Captain America. "As a favor, I won't mention to Hill that you're debating defecting. Professional courtesy."

"My test? It just looks at DNA samples. If they can perfectly clone the DNA of who they resemble, then it's nothing," Bonnie explained. "I'll try to develop something more precise since we have a living subject here for me to work on... Another option would be to try to liaise with a psychic, they might be able to look at the problem from another angle and sort things out. Or... maybe you, Niah, might be the answer. If you use your powers, you could scan our histories briefly. It would mean relinquishing our privacy."

Agent 13 raised an eyebrow at Kwassi, a bit interested in why he was talking like she wasn't present.

Bonnie's face fell slightly, hearing Oliver's heartbreaking news. She couldn't imagine dealing with the death of a family member on a good, slow, boring day - it was equally unfathomable on the day Captain America defected and another cell of skrulls were revealed. They had found less than a dozen skrulls since Roman first was revealed to be one of the aliens. The invasion could have just been beginning, perhaps they were scouts - or maybe it was already too late. "I'm sorry, Oliver. That's rough."

She couldn't go with him though - she needed to track down Captain America and learn whatever she could from the Flynn imposter. One step at a time.

Amelia Baptiste


Location: Levittown, PA
Skills: Aerokinesis
"Crikey, they've got you going after the Fenris Twins?" Amelia exclaimed, her eyes wide. She had heard rumors about those two. Supposedly, they were the best of the best over at HYDRA and when the twins were together, the amount of force they could project was enough to topple buildings. They were considered a top threat to the stability of the country. One of her old classmates had even theorized that if they wanted to and the Avengers were having an off day, they could take the White House. "That's so legit. Damn. I feel almost a bit bad for knocking you on your ass."

Amelia was about to turn to Sparky and say something, when the sound of glass shattering broke her train of thought. She felt tiny things moving quickly through the air at them and Amelia shoved everyone down to the ground just in time, the bullets going harmlessly over their head. "Wild. Didn't know I could do that, mates!" she said, clearly a bit amped and pumped. "Alright, where's the shooter? And I'm guessing since they're probably HYDRA, you're going to have to leave with us, Agent Swede. The whole block probably just heard you."

Casper Theriot


Location: Mutant Underground: Jack and Casper (and James)'s Room
Skills: Mediumship
Casper's mind was far too groggy to process what was going on. He had been about to drift off to sleep again, hopefully to reawaken shortly with waffles, when there was a large BANG BANG BANG! on the door. Someone was screaming something about Jack. He couldn't even remember who the voice belonged to, as Casper was so sleepy he barely knew his own name at the moment. Dying of M-Pox really took it out of him. Thankfully, his genius boyfriend was able to supply helpful details - unfortunately, those details meant that Ben had been right and he really did need to get out of bed.

"Urgh... He probably just rejected her or something. Jack's the worst kind of slut," Casper groaned. He rolled out of bed - quite literally, hitting the ground hard enough to bruise. He was all tangled up in the sheets, completely nude otherwise. He hadn't recalled going to bed naked, but he usually woke up to find his clothes on the ground so it wasn't entirely unexpected. "Yeah, I should have stayed in bed, that was an amazing idea," he admitted, stumbling to his feet. The sheets had twisted around him and looked like a toga. "Ooo, I'm Caesar! Hail me, James, and I'll not let the lions eat you in the arena."

He hopped in his get up on over to the door and opened it up, thankfully his private parts were well covered. "Whaaaat iiiiiis it? I haven't had my waffles yet," he complained.

"I told you so," Ben said with a sigh. "I told you Jack did something and now Waverley is going to tell you the same thing."

"Shhh, Ben, I can't hear Waverley not tell me what's going on!"

Veil


Location: Mutant Underground: Veil and Sapphire's Room
Skills: Perception
Veil nodded at Sapphire, running a hand through her wild mane of curls. "Yeah, just processing things. I'll live. And if I don't, well, I guess it won't be my problem then," she said with a bit of a weak laugh. She did tend to be rather blunt and honest, but Veil wasn't in the mood to share her feelings. She didn't really know what there was to say or talk about. People had died on her watch and it was her fault no matter what anyone said. There just wasn't anything to discuss. Of course, they'd need to provide funeral arrangements for Cayden and find out if he had any next of kin to send his body to... But those conversations would have to wait.

Someone was screaming bloody murder.

She briefly noted that Sapphire's hair wasn't its usual ice blonde and decided to ask about it later, as she quickly stepped around her roommate and friend to go out into the hall proper. She was dressed in a hoodie and sweats, the only pair of PJ's that she owned. The knees both had gigantic holes on them and the fabric was discolored in various spots from old stains. "What's going on?" Veil asked. "Feedback - everything okay? Are you injured? Do I need to go pummel someone?"

There still wasn't a peep from Havok and Polaris. "Uh, Casper? Please put some pants on."

Sunshine


Location: Jack's Office
Skills: People Reading
Sunshine looked at Jack suspiciously, her eyes darting between him and the box of doughnuts. Her stomach growled loudly, making its plea for her to accept the food from him. He had always been pretty nice to her and she had gotten used to having him around - not that she thought of him as her father, even if that was biologically the case. Her hand darted out rapidly and she snatched a doughnut from the box, as if moving slower than possible would somehow result in serious bodily harm. She shoved the doughnut into her mouth and ate it in three big bites, swallowing thickly.

There was one plus side to all of this - the bizarreness of the situation was distracting her from thinking about Magik. "What happened, Hufflepuff?" she asked him warily. Someone had come into her room and drugged her, only for her to turn up in Jack's office. Her eyes narrowed. "Did Purifiers get in or something? If they did, I'm going to kill them. You always say I need to practice my powers more anyways so..."

Something was off about Jack, though. He looked gross - probably from the M-Pox, that or she figured he might not know how to shower properly. That wasn't what was bothering her though, she was used to people not smelling the greatest or looking a bit out of sorts. She couldn't place it, but something was different about him.


Megan Pendragon

Location: Merlin's Tower
Skills: N/A

Megan wrinkled her nose at the implication she would ever get along with Isabella. She was rather disappointed that Jack's partner had ended up coming with them on this adventure. She was just so... ugh - quaint? ordinary? boring? annoying? insufferable? Megan couldn't quite place the word to describe her issues with Isabella. She refused to even consider that it may have been an unconscious desire to have her brother's attention to herself or that maybe she felt threatened that Isabella would take away her only real family. No, instead Megan just took her dislike at face value, wishing that Isabella was back in Kansas and not here in Megan's birthplace.

She walked in the room where she felt particularly drawn to - namely, the fallen skull. She picked it up and smiled slightly, imagining herself doing a performance of Hamlet with it. "Alas, poor Yorick," Megan whispered. She paused for a moment, waiting until Merlin came back down the stairs. "Whose skull is this? And might I have it?" she asked. In medical school, they used to have skulls given to them by the school for the purpose of practicing. Megan missed having a skull in her bag as she went about her business.


Runa Johansson

Location: Hotel Valhalla - Feast Hall of the Slain
Skills: N/A

Runa struggled to force words out, her throat constricting in spite of her best efforts. She tried to think of how exactly to answer Klara's question - should she lie and say that she was fine? Should she risk being emotionally vulnerable and admit everything to her? Could she trust her? Her worst fears of having her parentage revealed hadn't been realized... yet. Her mind was fresh at work, coming up with more and more doomsday scenarios. Maybe this was all just some sort of trick. Maybe Klara knew she had talked to Loki and was trying to set her up for a trap. Maybe the second they left, they would stab her in the back and kill her.

She hated being given choices. She tried again to speak, this time with more success. "Erm, now. We should leave now," she said quietly. The more time they had, the better the odds right? She fidgeted awkwardly as a blonde came on over and joined them at the table, feeling a bit like an animal on display in a zoo. "Kl-Klara... N-Nadia... C-could you two come with me? I uh.... I need to tell you something in private. I mean, come with me on the... the quest or journey... I forget the English word, sorry..." she mumbled.
