"Actually, a paper cut very well may just kill you in this world," Megan warned her brother. "An open wound is a chance for infection. The smallest of cuts could prove fatal before the advent of modern medicine. I am unfamiliar with the means of disinfectant used here - perhaps alcohol would suffice, or burning the wound if needed," she said pointedly. She did not have a good idea for the state of medicine here. It seemed to be more advanced than purely medieval remedies, but not quite up to the standards Megan was used to. Of course, everything seemed to vary wildly from territory to territory - she was fairly certain Camelot didn't have elevators, whereas this underwater kingdom did.

She was satisfied to see that Jack did put on some armor though. Her attention then was called over to her father, King Arthur, as he mentioned that Merlin had made rings of enchanted armor for just about everyone. It seemed though that neither her mother or father had rings like hers at the moment though, as they used loaner armor. "Did he fashion a batch of enchanted swords as well?" Megan asked, before heading out with the others.

Veil & Casper & Sunshine

---

---

Location: the Carousel
Skills: Mediumship

---

The island was aglow in light, a technicolor daydream underneath the Full Moon. The Hellfire Gala had been put on by the Quiet Council to foster a sense of community and togetherness, to allow the mutants of the small fledgling nation to feel connected. Saucier, the finest mutant chef in the world, had personally overseen the catering - food was present from every culture on Earth, and even some food from beyond the stars had made it to the celebration, thanks to some crafty teleporters. Dazzler was booked as the main entertainer for the night, with Lila Cheney, intergalactic superstar, opening for her. Almost the entire island was in attendance, spread across the MASSIVE venue - the outdoor carousel of the island, where gigantic platforms like mushrooms threatened to scrape the sky. Fireworks brightened up the sky regularly, the entire affair a feat meant to boggle the senses. Alcohol was flowing and thanks to designer Jumbo Carnation, everyone looked fierce. Bonfires raged, bathing everyone in warmth.

Aside from the celebrations of life, there was also room for death - for mourning - at the Hellfire Gala. The Carousel was a truly massive venue and it was not far from Hellfire Manor, where Reeva lived. The steps of Hellfire Manor had been filled with holographic cube-like images of the 198 mutants lost in the attack. Candles and flowers and food and other offerings surrounded the images, as people went to say goodbye to their loved ones one last time and pray that they would see them again.

The party had been going on for a few hours now, and Dazzler was in the middle of her set, singing her latest hit - Hands On Me. Renegade had left the party not too long ago, taking home the kids so they could get some sleep (Flower Child, Purple Mongoose, and baby Danny). Though Renegade wouldn't admit it, she was feeling pretty exhausted herself - the X-Pox was making it harder for her to keep going.

The Mutant Underground family was currently seated at a table that was actually a mushroom, with all of the add-ons and guests making it so they could barely fit all the way around it. Casper was practically in James' lap though, which did help - he had to keep his legs crossed with his poofy pink dress to keep himself from flashing the rest of the group (they had already had a few close calls). "So... It's weird that you're not dead, Benny. Almost as weird as the fact that you're like, what, twelve years old now? So you have to go through puberty... again?"

"I'm seventeen, asshole," Ben muttered, rolling his eyes. He was having a bit of a hard time adjusting to being alive again. The first few days, all he had wanted to do was experience everything and do everything. Now, it was hitting him just how much everyone had really moved on and he had stayed still - that and he had almost completely lost his filter, since for almost two decades Casper had been the only person capable of hearing him.

"So rude, what would Mother say?" Casper said with a fake gasp. Ben gave Casper the middle finger and got up from his seat - he was wearing a leather jacket, hoodie, and dark pants - and then went to sit down on the other side of the table. One of Marrow's bones jagged him in the side as he sat down too close to her and Ben winced. "Shit. Keep forgetting I can't just go through things," he complained.

"Watch it, ghost boy," Marrow warned. "I don't need your blood on my brand new fit."

Sunshine giggled slightly. Whereas Marrow had on essentially a black unitard and then bone spikes everywhere, she was in a flowing green dress embroidered with wildflowers. Some of the flowers were braided into her hair. She felt like a fairytale princess. Had anyone pointed that out to her though, Sunshine would have hit them. "Maybe it's past your bedtime," she teased Ben. "You seem pretty cranky."

"I'm fine, if everyone would just stop!"

"Leave him alone, guys," Veil chided, taking a sip of her drink. It was a specialty cocktail they were serving that night, using some flavors that Veil could not even begin to describe - as they were straight from the Shi'Ar galaxy. The drink was staining her tongue blue with purple spots, something that she'd find out later in the mirror. She was wearing a pink suit with a black crop top. And as expected, Veil had gone alone to the gala - she hadn't asked anyone out.

"We need a new topic then," Sunshine said, before a mischevious grin spread across her face. They were at a party, just hanging out and having fun - it was the sort of thing that she loved about Genosha, the freedom for them to just... exist as people. "Let's play fuck, marry, kill. Max, you first," she added, before facing the wizard. "Magneto, Doctor Strange, and Captain America."

"Ooo, me next, me next!" Casper blurted out eagerly. He loved this game.

"I don't... I don't know this game," Legion admitted, looking at Echo and feeling confused. David was the dominant personality - for now, at least. "I don't think any of those people would let Max fuck them?"

EARTH 257 - 8:40 PM Nov. 14th, 2021 - Genosha

---

Cass -

Nothing about the scene was changing - Matt was eating his food, and the two brains were in front of Cass, even though the SWORD one had been pushed away slightly. If Cass had ever seen Umbrella Academy, she would be reminded of the scene where the White Violin had amnesia and had to eat her own brain inside her mind in order to regain her memories. Here, the brain that Cass chose to consume would determine what person she would be - the SHIELD agent of Earth-666 or the SWORD agent of Earth-257.

Of course, she could always eat both - but who knew what sort of person she'd become...

"Do you not like that one?" Matt asked, nodding towards the SWORD brain. "We can always send it back."

Matt -

Matt's mental landscape resembled something of a bad trip - (that or the GM running this RP was just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks). First, he had met someone claiming to be his son in a sinking submarine. Then, they were attacked by a kraken with Matt's face. And now, the kraken had turned into bees as Matt tried to use his paralytic touch. Everything was slippery, warping and twisting and changing, going wildly out of control.

"Matt, I need you to focus - I'm losing you, son," Professor X's voice echoed, seemingly coming from all around him. "Concentrate on a memory where you found yourself - a moment where you realized who you truly are."

Healing Gardens -

"Doing fine, mate - and yourself?" Amelia asked Maria. Her mannerisms hadn't really changed much in the integrations of herself. The real difference was just a doubling down on her devotion to freedom and individuality, to chasing her dreams - she wasn't going to return to SHIELD after all of this. Amelia was going to go higher, further, and faster; she wasn't going to be a government suit again. Besides, SHIELD reminded her too much of SWORD and the Iron, leaving a bad metallic taste in her mouth.

"I do not know, child," Professor X answered Niah, his voice strained. He sounded like absolute shit to Amelia - like he had just finished his first week at bootcamp and it wasn't getting easier, it was getting harder. He sounded like he had just chain smoked a box of cigarettes and then went straight to playing the trumpet, barely able to squeak out a pleasing sound.

"Kinda weird to be calling her a child, she's an adult," Amelia told Professor X with a slight bit of irritation. She hated it when people belittled others - especially old white men. But she didn't press it too much, as she was also concerned about Oliver. They were besties - and Oliver hadn't said a word just yet.

Bonnie opened her eyes, finding herself in the healing gardens - her body hadn't been moved. She expected to feel... different after making that pact with Athena, but she felt the same. She just felt like herself. There was no shimmering silver aura or anything special. She was Bonnie - just Bonnie - like she always had been. And while others may have been disappointed, Bonnie was glad.

Her eyes fell on Flynn, wondering who was going to be waking up - if it would be the man she loved... Or his shadow.

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

Nancy was a little bit surprised when Zeke asked her if she could draw. Had anyone else asked, she might've chewed them out about that being a tired old cliché for seers, and that she wasn't interested in playing the role of an augur or an oracle. "Nah, everything I tried just turns out like chickenshit," Nancy answered with a shrug. "I dance though. And sing. Not just to make people's heads explode, though that's fun too." She smirked ever so slightly.

It would've been easy for Nancy to hate singing and dancing because of her mother - but that form of artistic expression always felt liberating to her. She could communicate her emotions and thoughts so much more effectively when she was belting, she could move her body to a rhythm all of her own. Drawing had just never really clicked for her. She absentmindedly rubbed on one of Joanie's ears affectionately. "I'm assuming you draw - that's pretty rad. If you're good at it, of course."

"The entire cab smells like someone took a bloody awful wank in here," Leda added, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "Or a shit. That too." The more she thought about the smell, the worse it became - to the point that she was surprised it hadn't wafted out at them when the doors opened up as the cab picked them up in the first place. Leda couldn't help but wonder if the Mist was capable of masking up smells as well as sights - it was the only explanation that made sense to her.

When they got back to the area they had almost been abducted in, Leda paused to take in their surroundings. There were prisoners in chains being forced to unload trucks, as other cyclopses supervised the work. One of the prisoners Leda recognized - little baby Hercules, only he wasn't a baby anymore. "Hmm. How about you make a big watery mess, get all of their attention? And Arthur, think you could get people off those chains? I can then be speedy and stab the monsters in the back. It'll be risky but I think we could tag team it." They didn't really have very long that they could talk though - eventually some of the cyclopses would be curious as to why their cab was back and no one was leaving.

"No, but you are made of flesh - flesh that is easily bypassed, allowing access to all sorts of fun arteries and the like that will cause you to gush out water like a geyser," Megan told her brother rather matter of factly. "A well placed incision is all that stands between you and death. If you were made of glass, your blood would be better protected." She was a medical examiner after all - a key part of Megan's job was cutting people open and removing organs and blood. She knew how easy it was to make a person bleed.

Megan twisted her signet ring and her suit of armor from Camelot materialized around her. She still had her skull that she had retrieved from earlier, as well as the tiny pet bat who now nested within it. At her side was excalibur, her magical blade, the one given to her when they first arrived in this strange realm. And the one that she had at first felt that King Arthur would wish to have returned to him. But just as Megan had now claimed her memories and her life from this world, she was claiming this blade. It was hers and hers alone, now and forevermore. "I'm ready."

Guin Stark

Guin nodded her head slightly when Pietro asked her if she was okay - truthfully, she was feeling completely overwhelmed. It was like she was roller skating and each little thing was threatening to knock her off balance, causing her legs to shake and her arms to flail, the universe just waiting for her to fall and hit the ground hard. First they had been stranded in another reality, then she learned the horrible story of her counterpart from here, she had experienced a weird flashback to her maiming by Magneto that had never really happened, she had talked to her father's ghost, and now she had found more details about the fate of her family, seeing more of the pain and the trauma of this universe. She didn't doubt that her Pietro was a good person, that wasn't the issue - there was just only so much Guin could process at a time without crumbling.

"I know it'll be okay," she murmured, as her husband hugged her. "I know that we're superheroes, we're going to save the day because that's what we do." She never doubted that they could do anything - she was young and rich, believing that she was invincible more or less. "But this place fucking sucks and I don't know why, but it's getting to me - like it's in my head and I can't keep it out, I can't just deflect it off with a funny one liner and keep on moving. And I don't know why." She sniffled slightly, blinking her eyes rapidly in an attempt to not cry.

Runa Baldurdattir

"I am Baldur's daughter, a princess of Asgard - they should not turn me away," Runa said, mostly to try to reassure herself. If Thor was not welcomed on Asgard, then Runa felt her chances were slim. In their own reality, the people of Asgard took as kindly to her as the people of Midgard did to mutants. Her dominion was over darkness and lies - hardly qualities people wanted in a princess. They were powers that should have shaped her into a villain, someone for Thor to swing his hammer against and lay waste to.

Runa extended Gandr and took a breath, before raising her staff upwards. If the BiFrost opened through the roof of this tower, she didn't think it would matter much. The place was already decrepit and falling apart. Asgardian allies were what they needed right now - perhaps the Norns could give them some guidance as well. "Heimdall!" Runa shouted. There was no response. She breathed. "Heimdall, it is I, Runa, daughter of Baldur, princess of Asgard. Open the BiFrost, I wish to return to the realm eternal!"

But only silence answered her.

Veil & Casper & Sunshine

Location: Various
Skills: Mediumship

Bar Sinister...

"Mm, yes yes, go talk to your mother," Sinister said dismissively. "But breathe a word of this little project to anyone else and it'll be your head, lad."

"And we'll just bring back a son who can listen to us better," another Sinister added with a sneer.

"Anyways, off you pop, Jackie," the last Sinister said, before snapping his fingers. Sinister had a LARGE assortment of powers, most of them from the result of his experiments on himself and augmentations he had received from Apocalypse. One of them happened to be the ability to teleport.

And so, Jack was teleported right into his mother's living room, moments after Casper and James had walked in.

En Route to Renegade's...

Casper didn't usually think about the big questions - some might have claimed that his gift of speaking to the dead was wasted on him. He didn't spend much time pondering the hows and whys of existence, how the mortal soul operated, and what implications the existence of ghosts had on the afterlife. Until he had seen Selene eat ghosts during the massacre, he hadn't even been certain as to whether or not a ghost could be harmed. "I... I don't know," Casper admitted. "It's not fair to let some people come back and leave others dead - like what if there's the most deserving person in the world who died and we just don't know about it? Or what if we start deciding that because someone broke a law, they can't come back - but what if the law was rubbish and stupid in the first place? Can we even really judge who is good or bad? Does it matter? Do bad people get to come back too?"

"But I think they can be hurt - like, Selene ate people's ghosts," Casper said. "And then Ben was, like, dazed for a while after that entire thing. I dunno if they could bleed or anything, they certainly can't eat like waffles or whatever, they can experience heartbreak - I think Ben finally got over Max and Jackie... So I think we could definitely fuck it up. Like really bad. I just don't know what fucking it up would look like."

They made it to the door to Renegade's apartment and Casper knocked - the same knocking pattern that little Anna did in Frozen. "Mamaaaaaaan? C'est moi, ton fils préfèré!"

Renegade's (Rebuilt) Apartment...

"Mostly, yeah - Flower Child's really sad about her artwork, but... She'll bounce back. Kids are resilient," Renegade said, as Purple Mongoose started climbing up the wall and onto the ceiling, running around in circles. She was babbling some sort of nonsense about being a fairy princess and needing to find her lady knight to protect her - clearly bored of the adults and wanting to do something more make-believe for a moment.

There was a knock at the door, followed by the whiny voice of Ellie's middle son, Casper. Renegade opened up the door and her jaw just about hit the floor, seeing a baby boy in James' arms. "Is... Is that a bébé?!" Renegade exclaimed, looking like she was either about to faint, scream, or cheer. The emotions on her face were changing by the second.

"Maman, meet Danny - your grandson, not the phantom kid from Nick," Casper said.

And then to add to the drama, Jack suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the living room.

"You.... What???"

En route to Max's...

Veil blinked for a moment, a slight blush coloring her cheeks. She hadn't even thought about asking someone to the Hellfire Gala. But the instant that Spark Plug brought it up, the dark haired speedster came into her mind - Aurora. Veil dismissed the thought as soon as it came though. She didn't really know Aurora. And she had never really put much stock into a dating life. She had always been too busy, first with the Underground, and now on Genosha's Quiet Council.

"I honestly hadn't really thought of it - you know my dating life's been pretty dry since... well, since I started with the Underground," Veil admitted to Spark Plug. "I imagine my brother is going with Legion. They're weird together, but it makes sense," she said with a shrug. She had been rather irritated with the weird psychic stuff that Echo and Legion had been up to earlier, but time and distance had caused the irritation to fade. If her brother was happy, then that was all that mattered. "What about yourself?" Veil asked, as they reached Max's apartment and Veil knocked on the door.

Max's Apartment...

Pixie rolled her eyes slightly. "John Lewis is a department store, silly," she chastised him. "But I s'pose you Americans don't have them, then. Which is a pity - they're really lovely." However, she didn't spend too much time teasing Max. She was instead mildly amused by Echo's reaction to her pixie dust. Not many people realized that Pixie actually had a bit of a mutant lineage of her own - her sisters in fact were infamous for their illusion powers, as was her horrible father. The illusions would clear from Echo's eyes and Pixie stuck out her tongue at him.

"Aww, you should've left him like that," Sunshine said with a slight pout. It had been rather funny to see Echo's befuddlement, though Sunshine likely would've pushed things further. It was a pretty minor reaction from him and she knew that he definitely had way more range than that. Echo could've at least screamed or something.

"Next time, make him think his body is rotting away to nothing," Marrow suggested, as there was a knock at the door. Marrow opened up the door, revealing Veil and Spark Plug outside.

"Casper and James are on their way. They just... have to drop off their baby."

"Wait, someone let that idiot have a baby?!?!" Sunshine exclaimed, before cackling like mad. "Oh gods this is amazing. This is the best day of my life. Casper raising a baby. That's fucking mad. James is fine, but Casper???"

Outside the House of M...

"THE MOON GODDESS WANTS A CHAMPION." The skull then stopped talking again, letting the words hang in the air. The concept of gods having champions was not really much of a thing when it came to Asgard - Asgardians would have demigod children, but they didn't usually have mortals to do their bidding. That was more of a Greek or Roman concept - and Selene did love to LARP as a Greco-Roman goddess.

What If?

---

---

Jade & Guin

---

---

Jade hadn't planned on Thor, Hulk, and Thing's distraction being only temporary. She had figured that they would fight until they were knocked unconscious. She didn't expect them to come and rejoin the group. If that happened, then Magneto's forces were not nearly as impressive and formidable as she had been led to believe. Carolina slipped on out of her body and Edus came back from a quick peak, explaining that there were four around the corner he didn't recognize. "Perfect, hopefully these two can possess some of them," Jade said softly.

Carolina and Guin were real wild cards in that sense - their powers could be drastically upgraded provided they possessed the right people. If it wasn't for Magneto's helmet, Jade would've even suggested one of them go try to possess the Master of Magnetism himself.

"I'll go take a look," Guin said softly. She figured she had a better chance than Edus did at recognizing the people in the hall. If she got lucky, maybe she'd even manage to pull off a switch with one of them. And if she was unlucky... well, there were others here with more useful powers than hers - powers that could make a huge difference in this struggle against Magneto. Guin forced a slight smile, before moving quietly and stealthily back the way Edus had come from. Eventually, she peeked her head around the corner into that hallway, spotting the group of four.

She recognized one of them instantly - Avalanche. He worked for the Brotherhood and his name was rather descriptive when it came to his powers. Guin couldn't recognize the other three though. She slipped back around the corner, thinking for a moment. Did she want to go switch with Avalanche? With the other three present, it'd be difficult to pull off. She'd probably be better off waiting to find someone more solitary, or waiting for some of the others to engage this group. She turned her head back to the group, before pointing at the ground and then shaking her hands - the best way she could sign Avalanche (as someone who knew no actual sign language).

The Waiting Grove -

"It's not much to look at right now - it got pretty damaged when the X-men retrieved it for me about a decade ago," Banner explained. "But sure, you can take a look at it... And if you want, you could even help me fix it... But no pressure, I totally get it if you want to help your friends instead," Bob added, his words a bit rushed. He was clearly nervous and wanting to win over his daughter - there was a certain amount of guilt in the way he carried himself as well. At least he wasn't turning green.

"And... Honestly, I hadn't thought about that. But... I think that sounds like a brilliant idea," Bob said with a smile. "A multiversal phone... Maybe then you could, uh, you could give me a call? Once you go back home."

Flynn -

Flynn was doing his best to convince "Bonnie" that he wasn't the one at fault - but really, the person he was so desperate to convince was himself. A drawer slid open behind him with a gigantic thud - and when Flynn turned to look, he'd see that it was a body drawer, with a cadaver on the slab. A woman with a frosty complexion and snow white hair was laid out, with sickening burns around her neck.

"Bonnie" was suddenly standing next to him, a clipboard in her hand. "Hmm, Sapphire - her chart says that you killed her, Agent Flynn," Bonnie said, turning to look at him. "There's so much pain in you," she added. "Maybe it is better for you to disappear - to let someone else be Agent Flynn."

Bonnie -

Bonnie paused, considering Athena's offer. She was uneasy about this. She had never wished to have powers - to be a superhero. But then again, she had never imagined she'd end up being a SHIELD agent - her original dream had been to work in animation as an artist. "I need your word that if I want out, this all stops," Bonnie requested. "I won't take this deal otherwise." Athena hadn't let onto what it was, but Bonnie knew that there had to be a catch here.

"Ten years of service," Athena countered - the length of time that poor Odysseus was away on the Odyssey, not including time in the Trojan War.

"...Deal," Bonnie said. And then everything went grey.

Cass -

As Cass focused on that memory of Matt, her mind anchored itself on it. Her surroundings would change until she was back at that day, sitting down at the Chinese restaurant in San Fransisco. Matt was telling her a joke, laughing and smiling. The waiter brought out the food, setting it down in front of them. Matt's food was fairly ordinary fair, but Cass was served a plate with two brains on it - human brains. She was given a single fork and knife to use.

"Are you going to try your food or what?" Matt asked, taking a bite into his meal.

The brain on the left had what looked like hot sauce in the shape of the SWORD logo drizzled onto it - the brain on the right had what looked like the SHIELD logo drizzled onto it.

Oliver -

As Oliver became resolute in who he was - deciding what sort of person he wanted to be, free of the chains of fate and destiny, choosing to be someone good and righteous... he would find himself waking up in the Healing Gardens. His mind would be restored, clearer than it had been since he had arrived on Earth-257 - maybe even clearer than it had been for a while. The personality bleed and memories from Earth-257 were locked away for the moment, tucked away in a corner of his mind where they couldn't dictate what he did.

"How do you feel, son?" Professor X asked. Had Oliver been able to peer behind the Cerebro helmet he wore, he'd be able to see the beads of sweat trickling down Xavier's face. Xavier was nearing his limit.

Maria -

Maria's mind would integrate itself into a single identity - part Maria of Earth-666, part Syphon of Earth-257. The two would bleed together, becoming one person - a sort of marriage of the two, in body and soul. Where did one stop and the other begin? Did it even matter? Maria would then open her eyes, finding herself in the Healing Gardens. She would see Professor X standing over Oliver, looking concerned.

Niah -

Niah's selves also integrated into one coherent person - a mixture of all of the Niahs who had been from Earth-666 and the one from Earth-257. She had become her own multiversal amalgamation. When Niah opened her eyes, much like Maria, she would find herself in the Healing Gardens. Professor X was standing over Oliver, his posture clearly projecting that he was concerned. Niah would also now find that she had complete memories of Earth-257 - she remembered everything.

Matt -

Matt's mindscape was really doing its very best to avoid the laws of physics. He reached for his gun, but he fumbled it, the gun coming unclipped and then floating off into the water. If he tried to grab it again, his fingers would miss - and the tentacled monster soon pulled Matt up higher and higher and higher, until he broke the surface of the ocean, finding himself face to face with the upper half of a gigantic kraken.

Only this was no ordinary kraken. No, the kraken had the face of a human - someone that Matt remembered, someone Matt would recognize instantly. It was his own face. The kraken Matt sized him up, almost tilting his head as if waiting to see what Matt would do next. And then, because none of this made any sense, the kraken started to speak, its voice echoing in Matt's head: "Just give in. This'll all be over soon."

Amelia -

Amelia opened her eyes, her head spinning slightly. Much like Maria and Niah had chosen to integrate themselves, rather than shut a part away, Amelia had done the same. She was both Amelia and Aero, ex-SHIELD agent and Avenger of the Blue. But at her core, she was the same - a thrill seeking free spirit, someone who jumped before looking, who screamed with delight at a sudden drop. "Damn, cunt, that was intense - and weird," Amelia said with a slight whistle. "Oh, sorry, my b - I keep forgetting you can't say that word here."

She hopped off of the bed, noticing that Professor X was standing next to Oliver, looking worried. Amelia considered Oliver to be one of her best friends - and now she remembered him properly. She walked on over. "Mate, you alright there?" she asked.

Megan Pendragon

The group was taken to the armory, once the maps had been retrieved. Megan thought for a moment about the armory of Camelot - she remembered now being fascinated by the place as a small child. Weapons, swords in particular, sparked her imagination - they were instruments of both life and death, means of protection and devastation. They were divinely macabre, a sort of harmonious sadistic power. It wasn't an accident that she had taken up fencing in the real world - handling a sword felt just as right as handling a scalpel or a bone saw.

"I don't need anything in here, but my brother needs something to keep him from bleeding out," Megan said once they reached the armory. She raised a slight eyebrow at the trident energy weapon Sierra had picked out - that definitely seemed useful. She didn't trust Jack with one of those though - he'd probably blow himself up by accident.
