Guin Stark and Carolina Reed

September 27th, 2020

Carolina was making her way over towards her bedroom carrying a few bags for some art supplies that she had recently bought while going off campus for a little bit. She stopped for a moment and yawned slightly she hadn't gotten to much sleep lately since the whole thing with Mesmero. Carolina usually crashed whenever she could, but usually it didn't last to long either and it always took her forever to fall asleep. As she got up to move again she felt really dizzy as well and nearly fell over.

Guin got to the top of the stairs, having been working in the lab for a better part of the day, just in time to see Carolina stumble and nearly fall over. "Woah, hey, Lina are you okay?" Guin asked, hurrying over to her. She grabbed the art supplies that Carolina was carrying, figuring that she shouldn't be carrying them if she was nearly collapsing and all. Guin knew that both her and Lance were having some long lasting injuries from the head wounds they had received - and she had to wonder if this was coming from that. "Let me help you with these."

Carolina turned her head a bit as Guin came over to her and offered to help with carrying her things and smiled towards her friend. "I've been better and thanks." She said towards Guin, she had four bags as she let Guin take the other two from her and started to make her way over towards her bedroom which wasn't that far and then entered her room. "How are you doing by the way?" She asked.

"I'm good, been working in the lab on some nanotech," she explained, following Carolina into the room and setting down the bags she was carrying for her on the desk. "You should probably lay down or something... It's the head injury, isn't it?" she guessed.

"That sounds pretty cool." Carolina said and gave Guin a slight smile as she set down the other two bags where Guin had laid hers down, then Guin mentioned about laying down and her head injury. "Yeah, I've been having some trouble lately.." She said, and took her friends advice and went to sit down on her bed.

She shrugged a bit, sitting down on the chair at Carolina's desk. "Are you doing any sort of physical therapy regime?" she asked. Guin wasn't a doctor by any means, even though her degree did involve biomolecular engineering - didn't mean she knew about how to help lessen the longterm impact of severe head trauma. She had to imagine that Beast was helping Carolina and Lance a lot with the recovery process - which was great, since not every doctor treated mutants these days despite what the hippocratic oath said.

"Yeah, usually after school I have them after classes and stuff with Beast it does help." She answered it did help a bit but the dizzy spells she got always happened whenever she least expected it do. "Sometimes I have short term memory loss to which is a bit difficult to.."

Hearing that, Guin thought for a moment. "...What if I made you a pair of glasses that recorded what is going on and saved the footage pertaining to about the same time span as your short term? So if you ever forgot something, you could just replay the footage until you remembered what it was," she suggested, already thinking through how to make something like that. It'd be user friendly if she included some sort of AI as well, that way Carolina didn't have to watch 30 minutes of footage every time she couldn't find her shoes.

Carolina looked at Guin and gave her a smile, and nodded. "I'd like that, like this morning I forgot where I had left my cellphone and it was just inside my bedside drawer after finding it just before I left to get my shopping done." She smiled awkwardly she hated that she couldn't remember things very well so much.

She grinned. "I'll see what I can do. Would you like a male or female AI programmed in?"

Carolina sat up for a moment and started to think for a few seconds. "Female I think would be a lot better."

Guin nodded, thinking for a moment. She liked picking out acronyms that would make some sense at the least. "Hmm... I love naming the A.I.'s but I always want it to make sense so... Glass Enabled Neurological Executive? G.E.N.E.?" she suggested.

Carolina gave her a friendly smile and nodded towards her. "I like the name sounds perfect to me." She said, it did sound pretty good and useful for her as well to.

"Cool, I'll draw up some designs for it and then discuss with Beast, since he knows a lot more about medicine and all than I do. Hopefully it'll make your life a lot easier," Guin told her friend. "How is your sister, by the way? I miss having Cass around the place..."

"Thanks Guin, it means a lot." Carolina said, as Guin brought up her sister she had talked to her a little bit but mostly she got texts from her whenever she could. "She's been pretty busy with her new assignment, I miss having her around to actually. How are things with you and Piet?"

Guin nodded. She had been trained by Cass when she first joined SHIELD and it felt like it had been a lifetime ago. From what she heard, SHIELD had managed to come out mostly intact after the HYDRA uprising - which was for the best. She knew the entire idea of the Nazi organization freaked Pietro out a lot, as much as he didn't want to admit it. "Really well," Guin told her, before she smirked a bit and held up her hand, revealing an amethyst engagement ring.

"I'm sure she'd love to hear from you, she misses you as well." Carolina said to Guin, she remembered that her and Guin were really good friends since Cass had trained her if she remembered correctly. Then Guin revealed the engagement ring and then looked over at her friend and couldn't help but smile even more. "When did he propose to you?!" Carolina asked as she got up and went to hug her.

She couldn't help but giggle slightly as she hugged Carolina back. She never imagined herself to be one of those girls that got engaged and became giddy whenever it was brought up in conversation, but here she was. The universe had a sense of humor. "That evening, after we took down Mesmero," Guin explained. There was a slight blush in her cheeks. "I was actually wondering if you'd want to be a bridesmaid? Mary is the Maid of Honor, and I'm asking Annie and Allison to be bridesmaids as well..."

Carolina couldn't keep from smiling and when Guin asked for her to be one of her friend's bridesmaids and nodded towards her. "I would totally be honored to be one of your bridesmaids." Carolina said as she backed up again and went to lay back down on her bed. "You should invite Cass to, i'm sure she'd love to join." Carolina was really happy for her and was glad that they were actually getting married to.

"I probably will invite her - not quite at the invite stage of planning things since he kinda just proposed to me, haven't even figured out a date for the wedding yet," Guin explained. The Maid of Honor and bridesmaids had been the first things she had started working on - mostly because she wasn't exactly the picture perfect girly girl and she knew she'd need a LOT of help planning a wedding.

Carolina smiled a bit and nodded, it would take a lot of time planning as well. "If you need any help at all i'd be more than willing to pitch in as well." Carolina offered just in case she needed some help, she couldn't help but be excited as well to and then she realized that Mary and her sister didn't get after she got transferred to her current assignment.

Guin nodded. "I will probably end up taking you up on that offer. There's so much to plan and Piet wants a real wedding - so I can't just ask to go down to New York City Hall and get married there," Guin shrugged her shoulders. She knew that her dad wanted it to be a real wedding too and she didn't mind too much. Sure, she hated dresses but Mary had found a type of shoe to help make up for the height difference that Guin actually found to be appealing.

"Yeah I heard courthouse weddings are like really the worse, standing in front of a judge in a courtroom or something like that is a bit weird with random strangers, and convicts in there to." Carolina said with a sight giggle, and having an actual real wedding was always better having friends and family there to witness it all was always really good to. "The bridesmaids dress shopping will be a lot of fun I cant wait for that."

"Aww, but the convicts are what gives the wedding its charm!" Guin giggled slightly, before getting up from the chair. "I'm gonna let you rest. I'll text you the details for bridesmaids stuff soon, yeah?" she told her friend, giving Carolina a bit of a hug before she left the room and closed the door behind her.

Sophia listened to Andromeda as she started to talk a little bit more about her past, being sort of apocalyptic like her own, though from her own timeline rarely anyone survived the dead. And she had to do a lot of bad things and taken a few lives herself just to survive the day as well. She atleast wanted to make sure that Andromeda was alright as well and she wanted to help out if she could as well in case anyone else would end up leaving like Alexandra and Alicia as well. But it seemed that their second life was more like her own timeline somehow as well. "It certainly sounds a lot better than from where I was from, dead walking around and stuff like that i'd rather deal with paranormal stuff than having to deal with walkers." Sophia said giving Andromeda a slight smile before looking

Sophia then looked over towards the door for a moment, wondering what they were talking about and then looked back over towards Andromeda as well. "If you ever want to talk or anything i'm more than willing to help however I can." Sophia offered, having someone to talk to always could help. And now that they were somewhat private she was also pretty curious now at what everything was going on now as well, Siduri seemed to be pretty helpful as well so far since the sudden day change. "So what are your thoughts on Siduri, and the other carnies around?" She asked.

Riley could feel Amelia shaking in her arms as she held her closely to her and leaned down and gave her another loving kiss and gave her girlfriend a smile and nodded towards her. "I'm not getting up any further." Riley said towards Amelia as she looked at those in the room again. She was pretty entertained seeing Hunter being pinned down by Beatrice, who eventually got off of him after being told to by Panama, as she leaned back in her seat she rubbed the back of her neck slightly as she continued to listen in on some of the conversations going on around her. Then her eyes turned towards Ashton as he addressed the group, well the Newnan people anyway not so much for the other folks and maybe Beatrice's group.

She did feel bad that he had lost Thana in the first place, even though she personally did not know her all that well Ashton seemed to like her and that's all that mattered to her. She looked towards Tatiana, Jack and Jamie as well they were all family as well a bit dysfunctional but they were all family. "I'm sorry for being a bitch to you guys." Riley said, mainly pointed towards Ashton as well as Tatiana, whether they accepted it or not, she would accept that she didn't act the way she should have been. And if they did need her to talk she would be there to help out as well. Riley then leaned down and gave her another quick and loving kiss and smiled towards Amelia to try and calm her down. She was also wondering when Atticus would actually be coming back it was taking him quiet awhile now as well come to think of it.

Erica Monroe

Erica looked over towards Nigel as he started to come back and sat down next to her, as she looked around at the others again the Ashton guy seemed to be addressing his own little group. She wasn't really sure what to think of the group other than they had a little kid with them, she turned her attention towards Hank as he went over and started up the Tinytown show again. Erica shook her head a little bit, even though the guy was with her he seemed to rub Nigel the wrong way to. She looked towards Hunter and Beatrice again, who eventually got off of him hopefully he would actually learn to be more mindful this time. And she really hated the fact that they had the same exact last name to.

"I'm not sure really." Erica said towards Nigel finally when he mentioned the priest, it had been awhile now but she figured he had some other things to tend to right now as well. She stared over at Wayne once more as he spoke to Hunter, she had to give the guy props he was pretty good at reading people. Even if he was on the psychotic side as well, she shifted a little bit in her seat and thought about getting changed looking down at the bag of clothes she was given. She didn't like changing in front of complete strangers right now, and she had been the only girl in the group as well to which always was awkward when she needed to get changed or anything while back on the road as well.

Cassandra Reed

Location: The Playground - (Technology) -> (The hangar) -> (Holding Cells)
Skills: N/A

---

Cassandra looked towards Tinley for a moment when she heard Flynn over the radio that he was getting both Agents Smith and Novikova out of the scene with the Purifiers. Which was either a good thing or bad thing, waiting may have been bad but also going against her orders was also pretty bad. But they had their agents]back which was a good thing for her, and what was more troubling that the newer agents Wu and Dixon were both HYDRA. HYDRA seemed to be really obsessed with trying to get into the team again, as Agent Wu went to attack Tinley, Dixon had the idea of going to the hangar and blowing up the fuel supply which was even worse.

And of course Goose was being a bit of a pain right now as well, meowing for attention for food, but what she wasn't expecting was the cat to sprout out tentacles and fling agent Wu around. Before being dropped down on the ground looking over towards her friend Bonnie for a moment, she didn't know much about Fury's cat but he was certainly not a normal cat at all. "I'll go after Dixon." Cassandra said as she got up and quickly made her way over towards the hangar and it seemed that Flynn had things covered now. "I swear you are just about everywhere today." She said, before finding two sets of handcuffs and quickly went over towards Dixon and cuffed him.

"Take him to the holding cells, i'll grab Agent Wu." Cassandra said, as she got up with the other set of handcuffs and made her way back to the scene looking over towards Bonnie. "Mind getting some inhibitors for Dixon and meet me at the holding cells?" Cassandra asked her friend as she cuffed Wu and hauled him up. "Flynn and I are going to take them to the holding cells." She said as started to make her way down towards the commons area and then down the stairs where the holding cells were.

Harry McCormick

Location: The Playground - (Technology) -> (Kitchen)
Skills: N/A

Harry watched as Agent Wu was ratted out by Tinley for being a HYDRA agent, they seemed to be constantly popping up everywhere really now and Tinley's power was also really uncomfortable having someone in his head was pretty bad. Harry thought about activating his little hand canon he had made. Bonnie came into the room, and went to pick up the cat when he suddenly sprouted tentacles from his mouth and flung Agent Wu around for a bit before dropping him on the ground. "I'll uh, go and grab some food for the demon cat.." Harry said, as he got up and it seemed that they had everything under control now.

Harry started to make his way towards the kitchen finding the cat proof shelf and looked at it for a moment, and then just grabbed an random bowl as well as the bag of the cat's food and poured it in. Harry started to make his way back towards the group and set the bowl of cat food down before Goose as he watched Cassandra taking Agent Wu over towards the holding cells. "I hope that's the last of the snake heads." Harry said as he looked over at the others now. "So, what are we gonna do about Novikova and Smith?" Harry finally asked.

Maria Smith

Location: The Playground - Downtown Washington D.C -> (Bio-Engineering & Research)
Skills: N/A

Maria slowly started to open her eyes again, letting out a groan as she could feel her ears starting to ring a bit more than she liked and started to look around the room. They were in Bio-Engineering & Research, which wasn't really good they were caught now and she wasn't sure if she would even be able to help Novikova get Sparky and Raynor back at all. She slowly started to get up and cracked her neck a little bit. As she started to get her baring's down and spotted Novikova who looked like she was unconscious still and made her way over towards her.

Maria gently gave her girlfriend a nudge she just hoped that she didn't die from the loud sound that was made by the base's defenses, as she tried to get her to wake up. "Hey love, wake up." Maria said as she nudged her again, as she thought about what the others would do to them and whether or not they would be punished, but she had a feeling that Tinley would end up punishing them right away as well.

Princess Luna

Skills: N/A

Luna had sat herself down at the table, she had taken the advice from her talk with her sister and Amarantha to write down her thoughts, it did help a bit and calmed her somewhat as well. She would occasionally set down her small journal she had managed to get her hands on, to take a quick bite out of her dinner. She would occasionally fidget nervously, since Fleur had returned she was really paranoid that the witches would come for her again. Luna had a glass of water as she took a quick drink from it and turned her attention over towards her brother when he mentioned his plan. She always did feel pretty useless at times as well, her brother could destroy things with just a touch if he wanted to.

And her sister was a witch as well and could use her magyk much more freely now with the sicknesse gone now to, she took another bite of her food. "Aww your little brother is eating little rabbits again, I wonder how the chef killed them this time." The voice spoke up in her head, which made Luna shake her head again and went back to writing in the journal again. Luna then looked over towards her brother again, letting out a slight sigh. "What were your plans again?" Luna asked him softly, she just really hoped that his idea would be able to work and Fleur wouldn't be a problem for them anymore.

Arnora Skadidottir

Location: Asgard

The past week Arnora was enjoying her time in Asgard as well as her training with Runa to, she stopped for a moment and started to wonder about Ahote. She had pretty much left him alone without as much as a word, he probably thought that she had died during the fight with Chython as well. Her attention turned towards Runa mentioning that the evening meal was going to be held off, and then she remembered that the woman Myth and Runa's son were getting married before the whole wedding was ruined. "I nearly forgot all about that." Arnora said, she had stopped to see the baby on occasion when Runa was with her family but waited just outside the room as well.

Arnora wasn't really sure if she was allowed to attend since it was just the immediate family, and she didn't want to be to much of a bother at all either. "I am sure that the wedding wont be interrupted this time around and be way more enjoyable for the family." Arnora said, as she fixed her hair a little bit. "Are there any final preperations that you'd like me to help out with at all?"

Callie stared at Havok making a fucking SpongeBob reference which was a show that she really and truly hated so much, no matter how old she got that laugh made her want to gouge out her own ears. "You are so asking to be tasered right now." Callie said with a slight laugh as they started to get closer, following the directions given by the GPS. She turned her attention towards Havok again as he started to speak more about being a leader. "Yeah, I kind of remember your older bro being a bit of an ass." Callie said, remembering her time at the mansion while growing up. Then she left and got a job as a mechanic then being offered a job in the Underground DC cell, she gave him a slight nod. "I just get the feeling Sunspot thinks differently though." Callie said.

As soon as they were at the location she noticed the trucks outside as well as the door prepped open, which wasn't really a good sign as she backed her car up. And eventually she drove it into the nearest alleyway she just hoped that they wouldn't be able to see her car pulling up. "Alright, so some trucks are here and the front door is open. Should we go through the back?" Callie asked him as she pulled out the car keys and looked at him. "And stick close, i'd rather not get shot again."

Rila looked towards Yumiko as she started to heal up her arm first, and then eventually went to her as she could feel some of the healing starting to work. There was a little bit of pain, but it wasn't to the point where it was unbearable anymore and she would be able to walk again somewhat normally which was good. "Thank you." Rila said towards her, and shook her head slightly the girl seemed to be a bit stuck up which rubbed Rila the wrong way. But she was more than willing to heal her which was a good thing now, as she continued to move along the road her hand occasionally touching the small pouch of coins.

They were now a good ways off from the village now after walking a bout two hours now and started to look over towards the lining of trees, and started to make her way towards them. "Might as well head off road now." Rila said looking over towards Hikaru for a moment, and wondered if she needed some help. "Do you need some help?" Rila offered the air bender.

"Lets just hope that there wouldn't be anymore deaths in the strange occurrences to soon." Lauren said towards Nora and gave her friend a slight smile, as she looked over her shoulder towards Gene for a moment raising an eyebrow hearing the woman giggle a little bit more than necessary to Reginald's joke. She wasn't sure what to really think of the woman still she was completely different from her brother George as well. She wasn't going to be rude though either as Lauren made her way closer towards the train and smiled towards Nora, she was feeling pretty good so far. "I'm doing pretty well thank you." Lauren said towards her friend, and turned her attention towards Mahendra asking how her morning was so far. "Aside from watching Vera getting sick, I am doing pretty well thank you." Lauren said as she started to get onto the train now.

"I am here." Lauren said towards Reginald once she had boarded onto the train and started to look around the train was pretty nice as well, though some of the seats were pretty worn, but they were still taken care of. She started to look around before finding an open seat and sat down in the isle seat. Lauren had no real preference on where she sat, and she figured that Nora would prefer the window seat more than she would anyway. Lauren ran a hand through her hair and rested her purse down onto her lap as she started to watch more people starting to board the train, at least they would be leaving in five minutes now which was good and maybe they would actually be able to get some answers to what is going on at Athribis.

Captain Moss turned his attention towards Amaranthine and Dr. Swamp as well as Quinton to, he wondered how a gun was able to be smuggled inside as well. But he shook his head at the thought he was about to offer to help out with Swamp, but Titian beat him to it and he was also declined to. Then he heard Lord Bardolf speak about someone else being dead which just made things so much better now being in the building with people he didn't know, and a killer going around. He listened to Rave as she asked more about the manor itself more specifically the ride that they were all ridden in on. It was pretty interesting it seemed like something that was recent, but it was just as old as the mansion was.

Rave's other question didn't set well with him either, the person who brought them all here was also possibly trapped in the manor with them. And what the lord said was also a bit uncomfortable for him to hear that he doesn't hear everything that goes on under his own roof, Moss looked around at the others once more, he didn't really know who else to trust at the moment. But Captain Moss nodded slightly, and started to slowly make his way up the flight of stairs following Lord Bardolf further up the stairs. "How many floors are there exactly in this place?" Captain Moss asked, the place was really big and he wasn't sure what else this place had either it was a pretty nice and interesting place aside from the possible blackmailer and killer here as well.

X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Lance was still in the medical area, less than thrilled with still being stuck there. He was even more annoyed that when everyone had left to deal with Mesmero, his father had basically decided to stick around at the mansion. Probably to keep an eye on him he suspected, but that was the main thing that bugged him, he glanced over towards where Carolina was still, glad at least somewhat that he wasn't the only one stuck at the mansion still.

Carolina laid on the bed she hadn't gotten to much sleep despite everything that had happened, her head was still hurting a lot and every time she did try and fall asleep she would get dizzy or nauseous. She was on her phone a little bit as she had a small drawing app on there and was just doodling for now. She really wanted to get out of the bed and try to help with Mesmero, she stopped for a moment and turned to look at Lance and smiled a bit. "How are you holding up?" Carolina finally asked.

"I'm alright... Bit annoyed being stuck here... How are you doing?" Lance asked her in response.

"I feel like my head is still in a meat grinder, and I cant really sleep at all." Carolina answered and shrugged a little bit as well and sighed a little bit.

"...I know that sort of feeling... At least the part about the head in the meat grinder," Lance said, before he moved his arm slightly from where it had been as he tried to sit up, but he was finding it really difficult to move his arm to the point where he could get up. It was really weird to him, but he couldn't really focus enough to figure out why.

Carolina tucked a few strands of hair out of her face, luckily her faces wasn't covered in blood anymore and looked down at what she had been drawing a bit then over towards Lance. "It's the second time I got a really bad head injury really.. Try and not move your head to quickly." Carolina said softly and looked back towards Lance. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"...Anything works really... There isn't really much to do while we sit here... I also know about the whole don't move your head too quickly... It does tend to make the world spin, a lot..."

Carolina started to think for a moment, she thought about asking about his father but seeing their interactions earlier and decided to not ask. "We could try playing a game or something instead?" She offered holding out her phone.

"...I'll be honest Carolina, I don't think my hands would cooperate enough for me to be able to play any sort of game on a phone..." he said, as he found it difficult to really get his hand and arm to move in anyway at the moment, so he didn't think that sort of thing would be a good thing for him to try and do at the moment.

Carolina looked towards Lance's arm for a moment, and nodded slightly as she tried to think of something else to do in the meantime she was pretty bored. "Well, we could play Marry, Fuck or Kill? You don't have to use your hands for anything to play that."

"...I would prefer to not play that game... I never cared much for any sort of game like that... They are kind of boring in my opinion if you ask me..." he muttered. Those sorts of things just didn't interest him at all, and he usually found them boring. He never understood what was the appeal of them, and Guin tended to like playing those games on occasion, but he usually opted out whenever possible.

Carolina looked down and nodded slightly, as she tried to think of something else to do in the meantime and rested her head back down on the bed. Games like that she always did have fun playing, but she guessed it wasn't for everyone and sighed a little bit as she looked back over towards him. "Well, are there any cute girls you like?"

"...Um... Not really sure..." he muttered, looking away now. He didn't really want to talk about that sort of thing either, especially considering last he checked he technically had a date or something planned with Annie, which would be interesting probably to say the least. That of course assuming he gets to leave the dumb medical area any time soon.

"C'mon you have to think Annie is pretty cute." Carolina said, as she looked over towards him and laughed a little bit she really hoped that they would be discharged as soon as possible as well. She didn't want to spend more time than what is needed either she wanted to get out, her phone then slipped out of her hand as it fell down onto the floor.

"Are we really having this sort of conversation right now?" he asked with a slight laugh. Though he did not want to talk about this sort of thing when his dad could probably walk in at any moment. That was definitely not something he wanted to happen at all. He knew that the day before he hadn't exactly been acting the best, knowing that attacking his father in the middle of the medical area was bad, but he hadn't been able to help it. Almost like his anger had been getting the better of him and had caused him to ignore any sort of consequences.

The universe seemed obliged to make Lance's paranoia warranted. "...I thought you had a thing for Guin? What happened to Tony and I's dream of a super genius baby?"

"Hey, we have to have something to talk about. And you didn't specify what we could talk about." Carolina said with a slight laugh as she looked down over at the floor as her attention turned towards Bruce for a moment. She rubbed her arm a little bit feeling a little bit weird talking to him, and mentioning Guin as well. "I think she's pretty much in love with Pietro though."

"...I got over that a little while ago..." Lance mumbled, not too thrilled that he was standing there talking.

"Also gave up that slight dream of mine a bit ago too, you really need to pay attention and keep up with things Banner," Stark's voice said as he came into the room as well.

"Yeah, well you giving up on a dream is hardly surprising, Tony," Banner teased him with a slight smile. He wanted his son to be happy and he was disappointed that he hadn't ended up getting the girl that he wanted - especially since he and Tony had maybe picked out the names for their super genius babies one evening while drinking and playing video games.

Carolina looked between both Tony and Bruce as the two of them spoke and giggled a little bit as the two of them spoke, her attention turned back towards Lance getting a feeling he was a bit uncomfortable talking about girls in front of both Tony and his father as well. "So, any kind of video games that you are looking forward to?" Carolina asked, figuring that it would be a better subject to talk about now.

"Not really," Lance said with a slight shrug, glad to have the subject changing. That definitely was not a conversation that he wanted to be having anywhere near his dad right now. He was not too thrilled with his luck at the fact that his father had walked in right when they were having a conversation about girls.

"Ouch, that one hurt," Tony said, faking a slightly wounded expression towards Banner.

"Anyways... You kids hungry or anything?" Banner asked.

Carolina started to think for a moment what she could have for something to eat and thought about pizza, but then she shook her head slightly. She puked out pizza in the elevator earlier. "McDonalds or something?" Carolina asked.

"Anything really works for me," Lance muttered in response, it wasn't just that he didn't care, he didn't want to really talk with his dad at all. That probably wasn't a good thing, and he knew that his relationship with his father was in tatters and likely would never be fixed. A small part of him wanted to fix things, but he wasn't going to admit it, and definitely not talk to his dad about any of this.

Tony noticed that there was a slight awkward silence in the room now, and he glanced over at Carolina with a smile. "I think we can manage to get you some McDonalds pretty easily."

"I can go get it," Banner said, moving to leave the room. He glanced back at Lance and said something he instantly regretted. "I don't need to be a mutant to tell when I'm not wanted," he said, before leaving to go get the kids some chicken nuggets.

Carolina watched as Banner turned around and left, biting her bottom lip for a moment and looked towards Tony and then Lance as well feeling a little bit uncomfortable. "He's not going to hulk out on me or anyone right now right?" Carolina asked.

"Don't worry, he won't... Anyway see you both later," Tony said, before he followed Banner out of the room.

"...I didn't mean to do that..." Lance said softly, feeling really really bad about that. He couldn't even really remember the last time that they had talked in a normal tone that wasn't yelling. "...Is it sad that I don't remember the last time we had a normal non-yelling conversation?" he asked Carolina, looking over at her.

"He could have ordered off of Uber Eats App or something." Carolina said, as she nodded slightly and watched as Tony walked off as well leaving just her and Lance again. She turned her attention towards Lance and thought for a moment, she really didn't know what had caused a lot of their arguments. "I mean, maybe I don't know the history between you and your father did he do something really unforgivable?"

"...Not really... Truth is I didn't know who my dad was until that incident with Loki and the Avengers in New York... At first things were great, then well... Things went downhill in high school... I still went by my mother's last name, actually that technically is my last name and not Banner... I might have been more than just a little bit bullied once people found out that he was my father... Ended up in the nurse's office more than once because of that... Had no friends really either because people expected me to freak out, to turn green like him..." Lance admitted, and he was a bit surprised at this. These sorts of things were generally only stuff he talked with Guin about, so he was a bit surprised that he was finding himself talking to anyone else about this.

Carolina listened to Lance as he started to go in a little bit more depth to what his problems were with his dad, and she was pretty surprised that he didn't shut her out either. Carolina looked down a bit, she didn't have to many bullies to deal with except for maybe Beth which. "I haven't had to deal with to many bullies, at least in the past. I kind of get the feeling that he is an overbearing parent you two can try and talk it out at some point?"

"That's just it, I don't even know if we can fix the problems between us anymore... Especially considering the major anger issues we both have... Got to the point where I got afraid of getting into an argument with him and instead I just shut him out instead to not risk it... Since we tend to get into shouting matches... A lot..."

"Try not shutting him out, from my experience shutting people out never really turns out to good for anyone. I mean it's really up to you if you want to be more open to him.."

"...I think that might end badly... Not too sure that would work out..."

"You never know until you try though really. I could try and help maybe?"

"...Maybe..."

"And if he hulks out I can possess him, and get him to calm down as well to." Carolina said as she scratched a little bit at the head bandage feeling an itch coming on and sighed slightly. "I really hate head bandages they really itch and are uncomfortable."

"...You wouldn't be able to, the Hulk is immune to any sort of telepathic people, including astral projections and stuff like that I'm pretty sure... And I definitely agree with the bandages being uncomfortable..."

"Well then that's going to be hard then." Carolina looked up at the ceiling as she stopped itching and started to get a little bit bored again now. "So, do you want to go out to the movies with Annie?"

"Uh, yeah..." he said nodding his head slightly at that. He decided not to mention the fact that it was Guin who had stolen his phone to message Annie asking her out and it wasn't actually him. Though he had told Guin no matter what he'd go, so he was willing to do go. It might be a little weird, not to mention he'd never actually really been on a date with anyone before.

"It will be a lot of fun." Carolina said towards Lance and smiled towards him, she remembered that Annie had shown her the text the night before everything had happened as well. "Just, you know be yourself and stuff like that to."

"If you say so..."
