Captain Moss, jumped when he watched a chair with a woman suddenly shot up high into the air, which made him worry that maybe this was the worse idea in his head to even come here. Seeing the chair go up to a hundred feet or so in the air, Moss started to back up some more looking quiet worried and stressed out at what he saw was unfolding. Seeing Cassius move up next to him, as Owen the gatekeeper was panicking at what had just happened. He really just wanted to go back home now at this point, but he was here now and he was extremely cold and tired from the traveling that he had done all day.

Moss then watched as the chair finally ended up hitting the ground, seeing the bloodied remains of a woman in the chair which made Captain Moss want to turn around and look away. He hadn't seen to many bodies in his lifetime but just the way it happened was just a little to hard to take in. One of the men even joked about it which made him shudder even more seeing what had just happened Moss then turned towards Owen, still holding his invitation in his hand while looking over at Cassius. "Are all of the chairs going to do that?" Moss asked looking at the group of people that were there.

Princess Luna

Luna turned to look at Becky when she denied her to leave, but she technically didn't have the authority or right to keep her there, unless it was direct word from the Queen, Chief Scribe, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, and the Castle Alchemist. But she never wanted to act rude in front of the woman either, she was looking out for the best of her. Then Skaoi came into the room, she remembered her quiet well growing up before Becky became their doctor. "It's good to see you again." Luna said softly towards her as she shifted slightly in her seat on the bed while the woman went to tend to Myrus.

Luna then bit her bottom lip when Skaoi asked her further about her family's medical history dealing with mental illness she started to think of a plan to get out of the infirmary and get some answers. But for now she would entertain her doctors with what she knew about the family's history with mental illness. "The most famous one happened centuries ago. Queen Etheldredda. She nearly killed her own daughter, Princess Esmerelda, as she tried to drown her so that way no one could succeed her to the throne so that she could continue to rule.." Luna answered as she rubbed the back of her neck and the voice pipped in once more. "Ah, I do love that story quiet a bit." Which made Luna shudder slightly she didn't want to end up becoming like that ever.

"Then the most recent one in history, Queen Alys would behead just about anyone who disagreed with her rule whether it was true or not. Her reign being the shortest and most bloodiest one, there was even a children's rhyme off of it as well went something like this
'Red Queen Alys loved her axe
Gave Prince Julen forty whacks
When the Scribes drew what she'd done
She gave the Princess forty one.'"

Luna said, which probably made them even more worried about her and Myrus, the voice spoke once again. "Ah another good story as well." Luna shook her head and turned to look at the two women. "I need to go, really the people need to know that I am safe. I'll take a guard escort of needed or one of you two can come with me, if something were to happen then you can take me back to the Castle for further treatment." Luna said as she started to stand up she was going to leave no matter what, hearing Myrus muttering about Golds again she needed to find out what was going on exactly.

Riley started to dust herself off once Cyril finally put her down, looking over towards the others that were there. And yet there was another bombshell that was dropped in front of her as Ryan’s brother walked over towards the door. There were two kids that entered probably around the ages between five and ten.

The boy seemed to sound like he was older than he looked the girl did give her a bit of a creepy vibe. As they went to sit on the couch on either side of Cyril. Ryan said that they were his niece and nephew Riley wasn’t even sure what to say or think right now. ”I’m going to need a little bit go ahead without me for now.” Riley said and headed outside for some fresh air.

Carolina Reed

Carolina would occasionally look over her shoulder seeing the fighting going on as the other continued to fight against the Sentinels, she wasn't paying attention until it was a little to late. One of them had their sights on her, as it shot out a laser at her Carolina would let out a very loud scream in pain. As she hit the ground, looking down at her side smelling burnt skin and clothes as well where the laser had hit her. Some of the kids stopped and turned to look at her with a worried look, taking a few deep breathes as Carolina started to get back up to her feet again. Using the wall for a bit of support, she waved the kids forward to continue they were her current priority right now.

"Keep going, the main staircase isn't that far.." She said as she started to move forward once more while holding her side, wincing with every little breath and movement that she made. She wasn't sure how bad it was exactly as Carolina continued until they were finally at the main staircase. Carolina wasn't sure exactly how the Sentinels worked, if they were controlled by a single computer or someone in some kind of command vehicle somewhere nearby.

"JARVIS, how are the Sentinels being controlled do you know?" Carolina asked, there had to be some kind of way to take them down, she continued to go down the flights of stairs stopping the kids whenever debris started to fall and made sure that they were all safe going down she didn't want to lose anyone. Her injury was a bit worrying for her as well, but she needed to focus right now with the task at hand.

Bethany Bell

Location: Stark Tower
Skills: N/A

Bethany looked towards Lance once they were somewhat out of fire, she watched as he took off his shirt and nodded slightly. "Alright, do what you have to." Beth said calmly as she took his shirt, once the piece of debris was removed Beth quickly held down and put as much pressure on Pietro's wound as best as she could. Feeling the blood soaking through slightly, until Lance started to get himself ready and removed her hands once Lance pressed his hand onto Piet's wound.

She looked away as she heard him scream in pain as the wound was cauterized, looking down seeing the burn wondering how long it would last and then turned to look at the speedster for a moment. "I'm sure you will get an awesome scar, I think Guin would like." Bethany said jokingly, as the two made some kind of star trek reference, which she didn't really know. Once they were ready to move Beth helped get Pietro to his feet and continued to move forward.

That's when she could hear a loud supersonic scream happen, looking over her shoulder as the new girl Mirembe had something explode in her hands. Knocking two Sentinels down for the count, then there were several others who ended up getting hit, Lance being one of them in the back. There was a place of broken wall that they could use as cover for now and quickly pointed it out towards them looking between the two of them. "So any ideas?" Bethany asked once she quickly got to the cover.

Future Carolina Reed

Location: Jakobson's Campaign Office
Skills: N/A

Future Carolina turned to look between Nina and Mary for a moment and shook her head slightly, this really wasn't the time to argue whether bringing Folly with them or not, before finally speaking up. "We trust Folly enough to travel with us, besides she could heal and she's strong. And this is what Jakobson really wants, to see us argue like this." Future Carolina said looking between the two of them, sure Folly did scare her quiet a bit when she ended up going into one of her episodes. She knew when to stay clear, and she was here to save Mary from being killed while similar to her own goal not letting Cassandra die.

She watched as Sara went and tried to copy her own powers, and then used Rickey to try and attack Jakobson which didn't end up all that well seemed the man saw through her. She paced around a bit in the room as she really didn't like the idea of being here anymore as she watched Folly and Future Pietro leave the room. She started to think of a plan, maybe not possess his VP running mate and try to go for Jakobson.

She started to use her ability, but just as she was about to Future Carolina yelled out in pain as she hunched over Jakobson's table feeling the burn happen in the same exact spot where she had been hit as her younger self. Future Carolina lifted up her shirt and looked to see that there was a bad burn there and turned to look at her sister for a moment. "We really need to go back to Stark Tower now." Future Carolina said, listening to Jakobson his plan seemed to be really well thought out on just about everything.

Cassandra Reed

Location: Jakobson's Campaign Office
Skills: N/A

---

Cassandra rolled her eyes at Nina and Mary this really wasn't something that they needed right now they needed to work together, but she didn't say anything when the future version of her sister spoke up about it. Then Sara came back in and tried to attack Jakobson as Rickey but that failed miserably managing to knock her back and Rickey seemed to snap out of it and left. There was that plan as Cassandra listened to Guin then speak to Jakobson when she tried to grab for his coffee mug.

"If I remember correctly you aren't the one who killed Hel when she stomped through your HQ two years ago. It was a mutant no less that killed Hel, what if that somehow were to be made public?" Cassandra said she may not have been there when it happened but still. "Not every single person that isn't human is evil you should know that." Cassandra said as she then turned to look over when she saw Carolina hunch over and scream in pain.

Cassandra quickly went to her side and took a look at the burn it looked bad, and that made her worry Carolina was at the Tower still she wasn't sure how bad things were at the tower now. Two of the future counterparts were injured now looking back towards Mary, Guin and Nina, they needed to go now.

@Dragoknighte Harry would be able to hear Mrs. Walker talking on the phone, it was her sister who lived on the other side of the state, he would get bits and pieces of what they had found out so far. Which wasn't much on her end, Mrs. Walker did sound a bit upset but remained hopeful. Then the conversation went on for a few more minutes to other things, before she ended up hanging up Mrs. Walker turned to look over at Harry and gave him a slight smile. "Hows your day been going so far, find anything out from Halsey?" She asked as she went to the kitchen and grabbed herself a bottle of water.

@FantasyChic "I'm sure he'd be willing to at least point you in the right direction for help on becoming a PI or something." Declan said as he looked up at Finley's grandfather when he said dinner was ready, he did feel quiet a bit hungry now as he turned to see Finley for a moment. "I'd like to, hopefully I wont be a bother or anything." He said as he started to follow behind Finley down to the dining room where they had dinner set up. "Ah good, hopefully pot roast is good with you guys." Finley's grandmother said smiling at the two of them, there was already a plate set up for Finley and Declan as well. "Pot roast sounds great." Declan said as he took his seat, once Finley took her seat her grandfather spoke up. "So are you two dating or something?" He asked, which made Declan shift slightly feeling uncomfortable at the sudden question.

@Kirah@McHaggis&@Morose@BlueSky44 The walk from the townhall to the mine wasn't that far, there was a trail and some signs that would also lead towards the same location. There wouldn't be any roads just small trails from behind the townhall to the silver mine itself, they could drive or walk there Lydia and Jenna would be able to see a small glimpse of the kitten that was Robert running off through some bushes. Once they were at the silver mine it looked the same it did several days ago when Jenna, Finley and Declan were there last and friends. But they would be able to enter unhindered since there wasn't anyone who was in the group was a werewolf or a shifter.

"Alright then lets go to my place." Olivia said giving Miranda a soft smile as she stood up and started to stretch slightly and then looked back towards Miri blushing once more. She did want to say something, but didn't want to make things awkward than they already were she dug into her pockets and made sure that she had her house keys on her and her phone as well. She looked down at the screen for a moment, the sun would be down in a few more hours from now so they had some more time to do things, she diecided to quickly text Finley and make sure that they were still up for going to the lake later.

To Finley:
Hey, going to grab some dinner at my place, then head out to the lake after that still down for that?"

Olivia hit send before making her way towards the front door and bit her lip slightly. "We are going to take your car over to my place or did you want to walk there? It isn't that far down the road." Olivia said as she leaned herself up against the side of the door and stretched slightly, she didn't mind going either way. "Though we probably should take your car whenever we do head out to the lake." Olivia said.

Abraham Serafin

Location: Red Lake Townhall/Library
Interacting With: @rivaan Kosara Koleva

The room continued to shake while Kosara was doing the exorcism against Siegfried, it seemed to start to work now as the demon started to get weaker and weaker. The lights continued to flicker in the room as well, before looking directly at the two of them before him and gave one last smirk. Then there was a loud cry in pain, as several bones started to break Siegfried was going to kill the host rather than answer any of Kosara's questions and before she could do anything. Then there was a large thing of smoke that came out of the body before it went down directly into the floor leaving a black scorch mark in the floor.

The room smelled like sulfur, Abraham quickly went over towards the body and knelt down to feel around for a pulse, and rested his head on the body's chest. There was a very, very weak pulse Abe looked towards Kosara, then there was small movement as the man started to draw down the number five in blood then he died. Abe sighed as he stood up and turned to look over at his niece then eyed what he had drawn on the floor. Abraham sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose and started to pace around the room and tried to think what it could mean.

This morning, Gio was standing by the tree as usual, and for a change he was actually wearing his usual set of clothes and didn't have any immediately visible gear or props to hand out. It was just him standing underneath that tree, patiently waiting for his new student to show up. But today was a bit different, he was humming a little tune to himself, tapping his foot in time. Everyone else so far had done a passable job of being punctual, he could only hope that Sophia would do the same.

Sophia got up rather easily as she stood up from her bed, seeing the letter from Gio, telling her to meet him at the Oak Tree at the center of the grounds. She got dressed for the day, and started to head out of her room and the main house. There she spotted Gio in front of the Oak Tree there and quickly made her way over towards him. "Good morning, how are you doing this morning?" Sophia asked Gio and gave him a friendly smile.

"I'm doing quite fine. Thank you very much for asking, Ms. Harris." Gio returned Sophia's smile in kind. Effortlessly, he produced the Watch and opened up a time portal on the tree behind him. "For this test, you'll mostly be needing your body, grit and wits, so there's no need for an extended introduction. Furthermore, we're going to a time merely a decade in the future, so you don't even need to make a change of clothes. Lady's first." The Emendator stepped aside and gestured for Sophia to make her entrance through the portal.

"That's good to hear." Sophia said, as she looked at the time portal that was set up behind him, and then her attention turned towards Gio once more. They wouldn't be going that far which was a good thing then it would save time for her having to change into something else, she smiled towards him and nodded. "Thank you." She said, before stepping forward through the portal once more and turned around to look at Gio once he stepped through.

And stepped out in what was clearly an urbanized area. Solid concrete was beneath her feet, buildings towered far above her head in every visible direction, piercing the cloudy red skies. On the ground level, people were panicking all around Sophia, running past her to some unknown destination. The streets were packed with cars, stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, unable to leave their position. There was much honking, and some people decided it was better to try their luck on foot, abandoning their vehicles.

"Welcome to Tokyo," Gio's voice chimed from behind her, the calm cutting through the chaos that surrounded them. He weaved through the crowd to step in front of Sophia. "Your task today is to deliver a particular item to a particular place and drop it off." From his vest he produced a green, translucent disc for Sophia to take. On the side she couldn't see, when she grabbed the item, there would be a folded up map of the area, translated in English.

"Take this disc to Chinzan-so and place it under the fifth bench to your right from the entrance then make your way back, then you'll be done."

Sophia looked at her surroundings for a bit, she had always wanted to go to Tokyo though not in this time but still it was always somewhere she would have liked to go to. She noticed that there were a lot of people panicking and cars were gridlocked, when Gio stepped in front of her, she stopped and looked at the green translucent disk for a moment and inspected it. And then accepted the map that was given to her. "Why are the people panicking right now?" Sophia asked, the task itself seemed fairly simple, get the disk to its destination then return. "Also is there any sort of time limit on this as well?" Sophia asked wanting to make sure she did it right.

"No time limit, although if you end up taking too long I might have to assume you're dead," Gio replied to Sophia "So let's put a maximum limit of 6 hours. Any longer than that and I'll return to Camp. It begins when you decide to leave this spot. Try to avoid getting hopelessly lost. You do have a map." If Sophia took another look at the map, she'd see circled in marker both her starting location and the destination, but it was kind of hard to make out in the current lighting.

Sophia looked towards Gio for a moment raising an eyebrow slightly at his comment, but didn't say anything she didn't want to make him angry or anything. "Six hours than got it, i'll meet you back here before then." Sophia said as she took another look at the map once more squinting slightly, before turning around and started to make her way towards the marked location on the map. She also remained alert as she tried to avoid the panicking people that were running about.

Sophia was able to weave through the crowd pretty easily, and looking at the map, she could see that there were about 3 viable routes to the garden. She could go ahead and follow the main roads, which were the simplest to follow, but had the most number of people around. Then there was down through the subway tunnels. They probably weren't running at the moment given the chaos, and they cut through the buildings in a way the roads couldn't, but she'd need to go a bit out of her way to get there. Finally, she could weave through the alleyways and side streets. They were the least direct route and the one for her to most likely get lost in, but they potentially had the fewest things to get in the way.

She occasionally looked down at the map, noting the three routes that were there that she could go to she noted the subway tunnels, but she doubt that they would have enough light down there for her to see, and it was a bit off the trail. Then the various alleyways that could take her there, however they would be considerably longer and she didn't want to end up becoming lost. So she then just simply opted to go for the most easiest going down the main streets, she would rather deal with the chaos of the people than getting lost.

Sophia managed to work her way through the crowd, but there were lots of people, and she had to spend almost more time moving out of the way than going forward. The garden was maybe half an hour away unobstructed if she looked purely at distances on the map, but it could end up taking double the time if things kept up like that.

Sophia rubbed her eyes for a moment as she continued to weave in between the group of people she took out the weird disk again and eyed it once more wondering what was on it exactly or what it was used for. She simply continued to move as quickly as she could occasionally bumping into people and apologized to those she bumped into she wondered what exactly was the lesson for the task she didn't really get it.

While she was making her way down the street, she could see some movement just ahead through the crowd, but not actually apart of that. It was only when she started to hear even louder yelling that things came into focus: someone in their car decided to stop waiting in line and pulled up onto the sidewalk and gun it. Sophia was able to just get out of the way, but she lost hold of the disk, which slid off into the road and out of direct sight.

Sophia instantly started to regret taking the disk out again to look at it, when the driver decided to drive over the sidewalk, more concern for her own safety than the disk itself she rolled out of the way. When she dusted herself off she realized that she had dropped it, looking around she quickly started to look around. "God damnit." Sophia muttered to herself as she desperately started to look around now she needed to find it which would be a lot harder now.

With a couple sweeps of her eyes, Sophia was able to cut through the chaos around her and locate the disk. It was laying right underneath (within arm's reach even) the car right next to her, which unlike the guy who'd just rushed past her, remained perfectly still. With a look inside she could see it was actually abandoned, the door left ajar, and the keys still in the ignition.

Seeing the disk there under the car Sophia took a deep breath and knelt down and quickly grabbed it with her good hand before getting back up to her feet dusting herself off slightly. Seeing the door wide open and the cars still left in the ignition, looking over her shoulder slightly. She was tempted to take the car, but Sophia had a feeling that it wouldn't be blending in if she took the same route driving along the sidewalk to her destination. And she didn't want to hurt anyone at all either or even worse possibly killing someone and quickly turned around and made her way back to the sidewalk as she opened her map up once more, and continued going forward towards the destination.

With disc in hand, Sophia was able to begin making progress once more, although it was slow going. After crossing the street, she had to stop from a sudden shudder through the ground, but that was it for the moment. She still had to shove her way through a river of people down her current route, but if she checked the map she's see that she was roughly halfway there.

Sophia quickly tucked the disk safely away so that it wouldn't end up falling out of her hands again, she was grateful that it didn't end up falling down a sewer drain. She stopped for a few seconds when she felt the ground shake suddenly, but stopped as quickly as it happened, deciding that it was better to move a little bit quicker occasionally pushing her way through some people as she tried to get to her destination faster.

Sophia was able to push through the crowd more quickly than before and still maintain a grip on the disc. It seemed that the number of people were starting to thin out, creating less resistance. In the span of about 10 minutes she got to where her destination was in sight indicated by a large break in the building line. To her left were a line of cherry blossoms and out from the garden a tower poked out looking quite anachronistic from the rest of the city with its multiple layers of curved, tiled roofs and wooden walls.

Seeing her primary objective now finally in sight she noticed the crowd had finally thinned out and quickly entered the area, looking around her right, until she was finally there at the fifth bench. Sophia looked around for a few seconds, it seemed that no one was interested in her just yet. Not wasting anymore time then she needed to now Sophia quickly stashed the disk under the bench, and then turned around making her way back the same exact route that she had just came.

Leaving the park, there were no more people to get in her way. At least as far as she could see. The Paradox was free to move about as she please. But there were other things that drew her attention. Sophia felt the shudder again. A few moments passed. And then again. Stronger. Closer. And then a sound. It was not heard as much as it was felt. She could feel it all through her legs, chest and neck. Another shudder. Even closer. It was coming her way.

She stopped when she started to feel the shaking around her, she turned around trying to find out where it was coming from, but it felt like it was going for her. The people were all gone it seemed and it started to worry her quiet a bit and decided that she needed to get back to Gio right away. Now as she started to run now going as fast as her feet would take her looking back at the map once more to make sure she was going in the right direction.

Pushing as hard as her feet would propel her, Sophia was able to dash through the city streets back the way she came. The shuddering in the distance continued to grow closer, and she could begin to hear distinct noises of destruction from behind her. If she turned around, she would be able to see clouds of debris maybe one thousand yards behind her, and through the fog the silhouette of something gargantuan. An entity that dwarfed many of the skyscrapers that surrounded her. Hauling ass as she was and unimpeded, Sophia had managed to make it about halfway back.

Sophia wasn't even sure what she was even seeing as the ground continued to shake rather violently seeing and hearing the destruction coming just behind her. Seeing the cloud and debris everywhere now, she could see something huge hidden behind all of the smoke, but Sophia didn't want to stop and see whatever the hell it was as she ran forward. Feeling her sides hurt slightly from all of the running seeing that she was just about halfway from where she had started. And instead just focused on going forward rather than looking back to whatever the thing was.

Fueled by adrenaline, Sophia was able to push herself beyond her normal limits and sprint the rest of the way to the starting point, the whole time, the shuddering and noises grew stronger, as if whatever the source of the problem was chasing after her specifically. But like a beacon of saftey Gio stood tall in the middle of the sidewalk, tapping his foot to a rhythm only he was privy to.

"Ah, good to see you've returned, Sophia. Well before the 6 hour time limit, if I might add."

Sophia leaned forward slightly as she took a few seconds to take a breath as she looked up at Gio and then back towards the way that she had came from. "Theres something big coming this way we should head back, the disk or whatever it is now where it should be." Sophia said as she finally started to relax a bit now.

When Sophia looked back, she could see more: smooth, slimy flesh, long grasping arms, flailing tentacles each thicker than a train, and a single beady eye looking right her way.

"That would be what you'd call a kaiju. Real pest in this timeline." Gio opened up a portal and beckoned Sophia to step through. "Wouldn't want to stick around, she's going to level the entire city. No point in staying to see it all. Unless you've some hidden misanthropic streak."

"Yeah not to keen on being food for Godzilla junior or anything like that.." Sophia said, seeing the thing looking directly at her, just as Gio opened up the portal once more back to their home. She couldn't help but shudder slightly if she ever did end up getting killed by one of those things. "Thanks for holding the door by the way." She said before quickly going through the portal itself.

Gio followed behind Sophia back into the morning light of Ville Au Camp. He looked as if he was about to say something, but then stopped himself and paused for a moment, looking over the woman.

"You know, you look quite dreadful. I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly started feeling quite worse given a bit of time to calm down. Why don't you return to your room, wash-up and relax. You did well enough for the day, a bit of rest would do you good. Unless of course you want to keep going?"

When they got back she turned around to look at the tree then turned to face Gio once more, she certainly did need a little bit of time to rest. "You are probably right, I am going to take a few hours to relax. I think i'm good enough for the day though, i'll see you later, thank you for the training by the way." Sophia said, before turning around she certainly did have enough for the day running as fast and hard as she could and started to head back towards her room.

"A few drinks it shall be then." Lauren said towards Vera, while looking over towards Josephine and then the others. "Going to be in the Officer's Club, if anyone wants to join us." Lauren said as she turned around and started to follow shortly behind Vera until they were there once again. She really did need a drink to calm down, looking down at the bag of meat she still carried with her Lauren did make a note to drop it back in Vera's office for the cat. Lauren then looked around noticing that the bar was completely empty while looking over towards Vera raising an eyebrow slightly towards her. She didn't really think the woman had a bad streak in her, but then again the day had been really bad so far.

"They cant court martial us for stealing a few rounds." Lauren said jokingly as she started to sneak her way over towards the bar, she started to search around before finding a few glasses and stuck her head up slightly from behind the bar. "So i'll make sure you don't end up getting drunk this time." Lauren said towards Vera before finding just a random bottle and then started to make her way over towards the table Vera sat at.

Lauren then sat the glasses down on the table, and opened up the bottle to pour in some glasses for them and sat down next to Vera. Lauren slid over the glass to Vera and then grabbed her own and quickly started to drink. Lauren then started to think of the very odd marking that the cat had she brought with her. "So you know the cat that I brought in? It sort of had a weird looking symbol on it similar to the brandings some of you had." Lauren finally said.

Riley looked out the window as she saw the nun several yards down the road, before looking back towards Jack and Ashton and shook her head slightly. "Nope I didn't order a bloody battle nun." Riley said sarcastically letting out a slight sigh she really wasn't all to keen on helping out a complete stranger. Let alone someone who was a bonafide bible thumper, but Ashton wanted to save the woman and she couldn't blame him. And better numbers would probably be a good thing as well, looking over towards Amelia for a moment, they were going to be doing the heavy lifting it seemed.

Riley made sure that her revolver was fully loaded and did a quick spin of the guns cylinder, counting the six bullets that she only had she really needed a knife or machete at least. The rain suddenly started to come down hard and fast as well, which was both a good and bad thing. They would be able to have some drinking water, but if they were going out on a supply run then things could get slippery and they wouldn't be able to hear as well.

"I'm ready." Riley said giving Amelia another friendly smile, she would of course keep a very close eye on her if it was the stranger or Amelia, Riley would obviously go and protect Amelia first and foremost. Once they were there and the Hordebuster came to a stop Riley quickly opened the door and jumped out, letting out a whistle. "Hey over here you fucking ugly bastards!" Riley yelled loudly to draw the walker's attention away from Genevieve.

Erica ran a hand through her sweaty hair, as much as she wanted to stay at the camp for a little bit she wanted to go and find out what exactly that noise was as they continued to walk. She had a little bit of a hard time breathing from the humidity in the air, as she kept her knife out at the ready. Looking over towards Preslee for a moment when she asked what they would end up finding ahead of them she gave a slight shrug. "I'm not really sure." Erica said, she had a sinking feeling that it was going to be people which she was most likely dreading now. Erica did not trust anyone really Preslee so far seemed to be somewhat friendly given the short time that they have met.

As they got back to the main road she noticed the group of walkers that were still stuck in the swamp nearby, they seemed to be stuck for the time being. She didn't want to take the chance of taking them on, or drawing in anymore attention towards them, looking over at Preslee. "Just be careful of those walkers there." She pointed out before continuing up road 177.

Agents of SHIELD - Concluded

Cassandra Reed & Jim Kennedy

Jim was day dreaming about a blueberry pie as he waited for Cassandra in the training room. He had a playlist from the 90's pumping throughout the area. Unlike with the newly graduated cadets, he felt comfortable letting his guard down and relaxing a little more around Cass. Of course, most recruits thought his guard was down around them already and that's the way Jim wanted it. "Morning, Cass," he greeted with a smile. "Drinks and pie afterwards?"

Cassandra got changed into something a little bit more comfortable for training, it would be her first time really to test out her abilities. And she trusted working with Jim as she entered the training room, and made her way over towards him, and gave him a friendly wave and nod. "Good morning to you as well Jimmy." Cass said, as she stretched slightly and thought a moment when he offered some pie and drinks after their session. "I certainly wouldn't mind, so long as your paying for the pies and drinks that is as well."

He shook his head at her, chuckling. "Why do you always want me to pay, Cass?" he asked. "Just because I'm getting old doesn't mean I'm made of money. Plus, I've got a nephew to take care of. He's probably going to go to medical school eventually." Jim then set aside his water bottle and turned into his rock form, charging at Cass without any prior warning. Sometimes, you had to run before you could walk.

"Your the one who always offers, the one who offers usually is the one who ends up paying." Cassandra said jokingly as she got ready, she didn't really pay attention to her shoe laces. "I'm sure SHIELD has great coverage for family as well for whatever money they need for their agents families." Cassandra then watched as Jim went into his stone form, as she got ready she tried to dodge however she didn't know that she stepped on one of the lose laces which made her stumble forward into Jim's charge. Groaning loudly as she was knocked back feeling the wind getting knocked out of her, every part of her body stung as she laid on the ground while looking up at the ceiling.

"I think you and I must be getting different benefits packages, since SHIELD isn't going to give my nephew shit," Jim explained, getting up and looking down at her with a smirk. He held out a chiseled hand to her, waiting for her to get back up on her feet. He doubted it'd take very long. "So I guess now we know who wins in Stone and Bulletproof Skin, huh?"

Cassandra rolled over onto her side slightly as Jim started to walk over towards her, offering his hand to help her up using that time despite her insides aching slightly from the impact. She used her legs to trip him over and quickly got on top of him pinning Jim to the ground, cracking her neck slightly. "I'm just getting started you know." Cass said before pulling back and offering her hand to help him back up to his feet.

Jim shook his head, jumping back up to his feet. He was expecting her to attempt to flip him or something. At her remark, he had to smirk slightly. She was a spitfire, that was for sure. "I'm gonna ask you a personal question, Cass - your sister," Jim prefaced. "One of these days, the X-Men have to become a legit organization...S.H.I.E.L.D. offered them that...So how long do you think it'll be before she gets wise? The MRA was just the start." He then threw a kick at the back of her knee.

Cassandra shrugged slightly when Jim didn't take her offered hand and got back up on his feet, she started to get into a fighting stance as she looked at Jim letting him make the next move, raising an eyebrow slightly when he asked about her sister. "The X-Men are doing fine for the most part even before the whole thing with OMEN and Jakobson. And S.H.I.E.L.D. sort of messed up when Mary found out about Phase Three, and we were sort of using them in a way I guess." Cassandra said as she quickly side stepped Jim's kick to her leg, and quickly did a round kick towards Jim's back. "But it's her choice whether to stay with the X-Men, or join up with S.H.I.E.L.D. or settle down for a normal life. She is an adult now, so I cant force her to do anything that she doesn't want to do. And the last I talked to her she seemed content and happy with the X-Men now."

"Maybe I ought to talk my nephew into joining the X-Men," Jim mused, as Cass kicked him in the spine and he was sent flying to the ground. He turned into his rock form before he hit, in a way to kickstart a mild regenerative process, as that had smarted. Had they not been playing by dirty rules, he would have called foul - instead, he just smirked as he got to his feet again, slower this time. "Not bad, buttercup."

Cassandra smirked as she watched her kick hit home as she stood there as Jim briefly turned to stone once more, she started to circle around Jim slightly watching and trying to anticipate his next move. "Let me ask you a personal question now, why take the job for being the SO for Phase Three. Aside from training the cadets with getting used to their powers?"

"It's all about the cadets for me," Jim admitted. "I didn't have someone there for me when I got my abilities...Hell, I never see my own family as much as I desperately want to see them. I'm alive, but...I'm something new. And it's my job to give back - to help the next generation - to make sure they don't make the same mistakes," he explained, staying light on his feet. "Plus, let's be real...If it wasn't me, they would've got some asshat to be the SO for Phase Three and those cadets would end up dead."

Cassandra nodded slightly as she decided to try her second ability season manipulation, and try and get some use out of it and focused on the colder seasons as she watched Jim closely. "Its certainly a better way to help the others. And someone who isn't an ass would be better as well." Cassandra said as she backed up from Jim somewhat in case he made his next move.

"Yeah, I find that my day is always improved when the amount of asses in it is minimized," Jim said with a cheeky grin. He then feinted a punch to the left, catching Cass off guard as he instead used the momentum and drove his entire knee up into Cass, turning it into rock as he did so. The younger SHIELD agent was sent flying upwards and would be incredibly tempted to empty the contents of her stomach.

"You are the best trainer for them after all, and you certainly aren't like Fury." Cass said towards Jim giving him a slight smile as she started to focus on making the weather effect into a blizzard outside. Her eyes looking over towards the windows seeing the weather changing, that's when Jim made his move. Falling for the feint the moment she felt Jim kick her directly in the stomach, flying a few feet up into the air. When she landed Cass got down onto her knees nearly wanting to vomit all over the floor, but tried her best to hold it. "You are definitely going to buy me some drinks later.." Cass said between deep breathes.

Jim offered her a hand up. "Is that all I am to you? A human cash machine for drinks?" he asked, laughing a bit. He was planning on buying her a drink anyways. After everything that they'd been through so far in this program, he had no doubt that Cass needed one.

Cass smirked slightly but accepted his hand as she stood back up leaning forward slightly taking a few more deep breathes as her stomach started to settle down a bit. "Not at all, you'd certainly be a great drinking buddy during our free time. I'll buy the next round."

He nodded, looking at her. "So, should we continue to beat the shit out of each other or hit the bar now?" he asked with a smirk.

Cass smirked, before she decided to feint Jim with her arm, before feeling Jim grabbing her by the arm feeling herself suddenly being tossed over his shoulder and onto the ground with a rather loud thud. Cassandra looked up at Jim awkwardly before holding her arm out to towards him. "I think i'm done now. And I am ready to hit the bar now." She said awkwardly
