Lance didn't even really get much of a chance to respond to Bethany about the whole Mary thing, just sort of nodding his head about it. He wasn't too sure they'd be able to get Mary to spill about what was going on with her. They just would have to see how things went with it. Though it was a bit weird that she sort of was making herself a bit scarce around the mansion in general. However now he was more paying attention to what Runa was saying, and he shook his head slightly with a bit of a laugh.

"I meant not amplifying your voice with magic to yell through the entire mansion, you could have walked into the mansion and found me pretty easily without shouting," he responded with a bit of a shrug. "Been a while since I last saw you Runa." he wasn't too sure what else to say with regards to that. He was glad to see her again though, it had been a bit weird not having her around the mansion, though he understood why she had head off back to Asgard to get some help for Klara. He was definitely glad to see that things seemed to be going well for them though.

Pietro sort of laughed a bit at the conversation, "I mean I can jog at a normal speed when I want to, but you are right, definitely seems like more of a walk to me, but sure, why not? Might be fun to take it easy a little bit."

"I only vaguely know what happened, something about how she got knocked through a reality rift or something and kind of messed with her head, that's about all I know about it, they went back to Asgard after everyone got back to Earth, you'd have to ask them for more specifics on what happened, or I guess anyone else. I stayed on Earth with Carolina and Avery instead," Mira explained with a bit of a shrug, before looking over at the other two in the group who were questioning things. She kind of felt bad that she didn't really explain anything to them at all or something.

"Uh, yeah, sorry about that. Actually you know how I mentioned that Jumanji game or whatever we got stuck playing? That was were I first met Runa and Klara, though I think others met them before hand from something else, not sure what that was still either. Anyway well. Klara is Thor's daughter, whereas Runa, her cousin, is the daughter of Baldur in the Norse mythology pantheon. Runa is the Goddess of I think lies? Whereas Klara is the goddess of love and the ocean. Will say the one downside to those of us who chose to stay on Earth instead of going to space? Yeah, the rest of the team got to go visit Asgard which must have been interesting to say the least. The reason why they are here? I don't know, probably not anything horrible. I imagine Runa's just here to see Lance, and Klara decided to tag along for whatever reason that she has. Glad to see she seems to be doing better now than when everyone else last saw her." The explanation was a bit long, but it needed to be said. Klara and Runa sort of tagged along every so often, but it had been a while since she last had seen the pair.

Then came the question about what they were wanting to do now, go see the Asgardians, or go play the game of clue. "I'm all for playing Clue instead right now. If it is something important pretty sure we'll hear about it soon anyway."

The Library
She looked over at Carolina, a slight hint of confusion before there was some recognition, "Uh, hey there, You're... Um..." she started to say, as she was trying to focus a bit on the name, "Carina? Wait no, that's not right is it? I'm sorry," she said, before looking at Avery, "And sorry... I don't know your name either... I swear I know who you are, just well... A few things sort of caused things to get jumbled a bit..." she apologized, before turning her attention back towards Ed. "You know, better. Some things aren't exactly super clear on a few things memory wise, and sometimes it is hard to remember something even if it was more recent. But overall doing a lot better... Anyway I wanted to come see you, I have something for you. Consider it a gift from both me and my mother. As I suppose as a bit of a thank you from the two of us."

With that, she pulled out a box and handed it over to Ed. Even just from touching it, he would be able to feel fairly strong magic coming from the box itself. Upon opening it, he'd see a circular amulet made of some unknown metal with a symbol engraved into it, and a few gems were along the rim of it, and it sparkled a bit in the lighting. "If you're wondering, the symbol on it is technically mine, well one of mine, there are quite a few runes that indicate the same thing honestly. But it seemed fitting, considering the magic you tend to use, and my own powers over oceans and the waves, tend to be linked, as water magic tends to lean more defensive, healing and shields, but also can be used if needed for offensive magic... The amulet should help you with your defensive spells and healing magic and boost their power, sort of a protection amulet if you will, and should also potentially shield you from harm, should that need potentially arise. Trust me, protection items can be fairly invaluable," she added the last sentence as almost a bit of an after thought, before tapping the pink circlet that was on her head.

"I wouldn't say I really ded anythin, all I said was dat we'd fend de doors and end up dere eventually. No idea when or 'ow or what. Dat's naht exactly much to go ahff o'," Janelle responded to Kristin with a bit of a shrug. Sure, there was hope and all, which was what she had intended to say in the first place. There was the small glimmer of hope, they didn't have a time table or anything, but there was at least that small amount of it for the most part.

Sounded like they were going to end up getting the help of the Hunters of Artemis in locating the doors at least, that would make things a lot better for them and hopefully they'd be able to find the door quicker. There wasn't much they could do about anything right now, not until they found those doors again, and who new fully how long that would be. However she was hoping they found it soon, that was at least her thinking with it anyway.

He laughed slightly at the talk about things being quiet for the moment, "Yeah, some people might get bored, but honestly I prefer it a little bit," he responded, before he thought for a moment about her next question about Mary. "Um. No, I haven't. Actually she seems to try and stay a little ways away from everyone else for the most part, at least for the past month. I'd say ask Guin since usually she tends to talk to Mary the most I'd think, but well, she's kind of been fighting her own demons at the moment, so not sure if she actually has recently."

He got up to see about walking out to see who was there, when he heard Runa's voice calling out, and he sort of face palmed. He loved Runa, but Asgardians just tended to be a bit on the dramatic side, "Guess that answers that question as to who is here," he said to Bethany, before he headed outside, walking out of the mansion and looking over to see Runa and Klara there, with Annie, Guin and Pietro nearby.

"Hey there Runa, you know you could have walked inside and called, didn't have to yell for it, I wasn't too far from the entrance," he said to her, walking up.

I know, just wanted to check up on you, Pietro responded mentally to her, before rolling his eyes at Guin's comment about him usually just picking her up and zipping off. "Wow, so nice to me aren't you Guina."

Klara more or less nodded her head slightly. She had decided to sort of tag along with Runa to this visit to Midgard, partially because she wanted to talk to someone who she knew was here. A small bubble of water appeared in her hands, and she casted a spell of her own. As the bubble sort of started heading towards the mansion, "I'll see you in a little while Runa, need to go talk to someone," she said as she headed inside, waving slightly at Bethany as she went along and passed her by.

Mira gave Jaclyn a bit of a funny look, before it took her a moment for her to realize what it was with the miscommunication with regards to that. "Well... I guess you could say that, remind me to introduce you to someone later though," she ended up saying to her. Attention shifting to Max again, and she was about to say something else with regards to the clue game, when he started going off about Runa not answering his calls or something stupid like that. He really thought the world revolved around him now didn't he?

"Wait a second Max, what are you talking about trying to get a hold of Runa and her ignoring you? From what I've been told, she's kind of been really busy with a few things, more recently the fact that her cousin's brain got scrambled and messed with by something. And she went with the others on the team into space and were out traveling there for a while, so not sure if she would have had time to answer a seeming phone call from you or anything," Mira said to him, as she followed along after him.

As if on cue to the conversation about the Asgardians, they'd spot Klara walking along, following a little bubble or orb or something that was floating along ahead of her, and she seemed to be heading towards the library. She didn't seem to even notice the little group or anything at all as she walked that way.

---

The Library
Aside from the obvious booming voice that had happened from outside of the mansion, nothing seemed to be happening to indicate an attack. However after a few moments, a small bubble of some sort came floating into the library and it floated over and landed on the ground right in front of Ed onto the ground, before it disappeared. A moment later, Klara walked over, and gave those in the area a smile and a wave. "Hello, how are all of you doing?"

She was actually really hurt that her sister said something like that, but she didn't even give her a response, and just more or less looked away from her sister before everything shifted around her. Instead of being in the world of Mario, they were now in a game series she knew waaaay too well. They were in one of the Legend of Zelda games, against a boss she'd only really fought once since she preferred the older games in the series. Well this was not going to end well at all, especially when it became apparent that Vicki was the villain.

The villain known as Mucktorok, and Octorock sort of boss in a way really, but a lot nastier of a fight.

Her attention shifted as they all got knocked around by the attacks, and that's when she saw that Andy was just gone. That couldn't be right? No way was this over, Andy couldn't have just died like that right? This was not going to end well, and currently Zelda was a bit annoyed that she was dressed up as Princess Zelda herself, when usually if she was any Zelda character it was obviously Sheik.

Right, going through this fight, not so simple, prefer the boss from Breath of the Wild more than this one, but can't change things. Need water attacks to stun... But crap I don't have access to water attacks, April does, she thought to herself, before she decided to check out what might be in her game character's inventory. Low and behold, there was the item she'd need to do a water attack, Chuchu Jelly.

Zelda held up her hand, fueling her anger into creating a bright red bow and a matching quiver full of arrows on her back. Grabbing an arrow, she basically attached a glob of the stuff onto it, before taking aim and letting it fly, her shot hitting her target head on, and a burst of water sprung up from the shot. She instantly started firing off a few different arrows now that Vicki the shark was kind of stuck on the ground stunned (this was a video game boss after all) but only managed to land one hit before Vicki would be able to move again normally, but at least she had done some damage.

"April, listen to me, water based attacks stun, normal attacks do damage. However you can do one better, be prepared to maybe do a shield of water to protect us, since in the game that was the only true safe way to avoid the mud attacks, and any mud that appears on the ground needs to get washed away or it slows us down, okay?" she was completely ignoring what April had said earlier (that actually was helping to fuel the anger she had used to create her bow and arrows) and was only keeping with talking about the combat situation they were having to deal with without Andy now.

She wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but considering the lack of chaos sounds going on around her told her that the fight was over. However given what everyone else was saying near by, and then Demi instantly asking her a question before he started rambling a bit as he spoke. It wasn't over, from the sounds of it the door was now gone, which meant that they had to deal with a few different things now with regards to it. "Níl deireadh leis fós," she said to everyone there, switching to her native tongue for a moment, before thinking of how to explain what she had seen.

"We'll get to Tartarus. I know we'll. I saw a few interestin dings in 'er mend, de lesser was de 'ow she escaped frahm camp. 'owever one din I saw was much mahre 'elpful. Dedn't expect de door to disappear ahr whatever 'appened. But I know we'll get dere," she started to say, thinking of what to say next. "I saw a vision, one o' us in Tartarus. At least I'm sure it was Tartarus based ahn descreptions o' it, it stell is a bet odd to see what dings look like in de dream wahrld and ones mend. We were by, ance again ahnly dink o' dis by de descreption o' what it looks like so dahn't quote me ahn it, by what looked like a shrine o' Hermes. We'll get down to Tartarus, try to stay at least sahmewhat optimestic about it."

Mira looked over at Jaclyn when she asked about what had happened to cause her to not like board games. "Ever seen the movie Jumanji? A few months before everyone took off on their space adventure, Loki decided to show up on Earth again and cause issues, we ended up playing a real life version of the game. So much fun playing a game where anything in the game could kill you, actually that was kind of the last time things were kind of calm around here," she commented with a bit of a shrug, not really saying anything else about that whole situation.

Max and Perry both were giving ideas of different things that they could see about doing instead. She personally didn't have a preference one way or the other, then again, considering Perry had ideas that would probably be better towards late afternoon maybe even into the evening, Max's idea seemed the best for the moment. "Maybe we can get something worked out in the Danger Room, kind of curious how the computer will take wanting to do something fun instead of a chaotic training session. Might be interesting."

Lance shrugged slightly, before pulling out another can and handing it over to Bethany, "Alright, having been doing much, aside from occasionally attempting to calm a speedster down for the past week, but can only do so much with that," he responded, before he took a seat at the table across from her. Pietro had been going a bit crazy for the past week or so at this point, and it didn't seem like anyone saying anything to him was actually going to fully help. Hence only "attempting" to calm him down, since nothing seemed to work for that.

He laughed slightly when Bethany made the comment about Perry likely wanting something to happen, "Now see, seems like that now for her, but seriously, you kind of learn to appreciate the calm after a while. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't complain about it if you ask me." Last time it had been this calm, it hadn't exactly ended too well for them.

From where they were, both Lance and Bethany would be able to see bright light from outside of the window that quickly disappeared. Bethany would be able to recognize it vaguely from stories more or less, as belonging to the Bifrost when Asgardians typically came down to Earth. So it seemed like the mansion had a visitor or two, however from where they were inside the mansion, they couldn't really tell who it was that had decided to show up.

---

Outside the Mansion
There was a gust of wind by Annie and Guin, as Pietro suddenly popped up as if from out of nowhere, "Hey there Annie, Guina, how are you two?" he asked the pair of them. Though he asked both of them, the question was more of him wanting to check on how Guin was at the moment more than anything. A moment later, nearby, there was a rush of light that hit the ground not too far away, and once it cleared, they'd recognize the two people who were now standing there.

It was Runa and Klara.

Klara was definitely doing a lot better since the last time they had seen her, back not too long after they had gotten back from the alternate reality and her and Runa had gone back to Asgard. While back on Asgard, she had more or less had been seen by some healers, mainly to ensure there wasn't anything else wrong with her, but luckily the circlet that she had that Runa had made her (that she now was currently wearing) had been able to take a massive hit from whatever had happened to her mind. A lot of her memories were still very much fuzzy and not fully there, but she did now at least vaguely remember who the X-Men were (well, more of mostly, not so much what had happened while she hung around them, but at least the members) so that was something. However she very much did not remember the mansion or anything like that, so she was not too sure where they even were at the moment.

"So... The X-Men group lives here right?" Klara asked her cousin, still somewhat confused and a little unsure.

Well now she was just sort of getting mixed signals with regards to whether or not she should tell them what she got from Leandra now or later. Personally she was in more of agreement with Nancy, since they were in the middle of a fight at the moment, and the information wasn't exactly something life or death currently. It would be fine to wait until after the fight in her mind, and she still was just doing her best to stay out of the way currently, since she really needed to see about getting her surroundings straight and where everyone was located in proximity to her.

"I dink it might be best dat we wait a secahnd to discuss what I saw so we 'ave mahre time to actually figure it all out... After de fight," she said towards Kristin, clearly showing she agreed with Nancy on that one. The fighting was a bit noisy for her, so it was taking a bit for her to tell where everyone was. It did seem that people were having an easier time taking down monsters now, with some help from Artemis it seemed like. She heard Nancy say someone else's name, and she figured she was getting an Iris message, the name was familiar but she wasn't super sure who it was.

"...Maybe don't insult the guy who could summon up a million different things to make this a near impossible Mario Maker level?" Zelda ended up saying, sort of ignoring the stupidity that was Danni and Dorian. Their ideas were a bit too convoluted to her completely, and she looked over at her sister with a bit of an eye roll, asking who all played the game. "...Um... Me? You know your geek sister whose here too?" she said towards her, before looking at the situation ahead of them.

Trying to make stairs or something was an idea, however Zelda was hesitant to try and make anything. Partially because it ran the risk of messing with the code, and knowing her luck would result in destroying something instead of creating something. However the comments about the pipes caused her to shake her head. "...You're only half right about the shortcuts, you aren't exactly saying what happens about them. No, the pipes are more than just shortcuts. The first one on the first level of the world, yes, that is a shortcut, that has no danger though and literally will eventually drop you right by the flag. However if you get to level two in the world, that has a hidden set of pipes, and can jump you to world 4, then the set hidden on world 4 level 2 can take you all the way to world 8... So you could get by with only doing 6 levels out of like, 32 that way, which is why speedruns of the game typically run under 5 minutes for the best players. Of course that's if he'd not just going to have us play the game in it's entirety and not just jump us to King Koopa... Also known as Bowser now a days. You want to be morbid don't hit any brick blocks or rocks or whatever. Pretty sure question mark blocks are okay though, but yeah, the instruction manual of the game implies that the reason you don't see any Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants is because they got turned into bricks and stones and I think plants or whatever. So people seem to have the theory that you might be accidentally killing them or something like that. It's really weird. But the shortcuts aren't bad, despite what you seem to think," she didn't really like talking a whole lot for the most part, and was keeping her voice somewhat quieter and not shouting over everyone, however she really wanted to correct the seemingly misinformation being handed out how the shortcuts are bad and dangerous or something.

Mira was sort of just off by herself at the moment. She currently was a bit bored at the moment, and was just playing a video game on her computer, when she heard a voice calling out the same sort of thing she was thinking as they were wandering or something like that. The voice was pretty loud,, and it took a second for her to recognize it as the voice of Perry. It was a bit of a random thing, but after a few moments, she had turned off her game, and gotten up, heading out into the hall to see what was going on.

She eventually came across Perry, and saw that she wasn't the only one who had decided to see what the noise was about or something, because Jaclyn and Max were both there too. "Well if you're bored pretty sure something can be come up with, can't be that hard to come up with something considering we have four people standing here now. I'd suggest a board game or something since we'd have enough players but I kind of got turned off of board games last year," Mira said with a slight smile, looking at the other three.

For the past week or so Lance had been really really worried about Guin, but those initial few days after the whole incident, weren't exactly too great for him either. With her relapsing, he really had flashbacks to back during their teen years, and those specific ones were not great memories. Actually it also then jolted a few memories of seeing a version of himself from that alternate reality, one where his counterpart was fairly dependent on drugs and things like that. Those were not things he wanted to think about, so initially afterward, he'd kind of stayed back and let Pietro help Guin out, but after a few days things more or less got better with that, and he got his thoughts back on track, so he was kind of keeping an eye on her too now when Pietro wasn't around or something.

He found himself walking into the kitchen, and noticed Bethany there now, so he walked over to her. "Hey there, how are you?" he asked her, as he went to the fridge and pulled a soda out and opened the can up. Things seemed to be calmer at the mansion right now. He partially was expecting something horrible to happen in the next five minutes or something. That just tended to be how their lives were, but he was kind of glad for the break.

"Yes, I can, I 'ave dahne it befahre," she responded simply to Demetri, referring to the last time she had done it while on a quest with Zeke and Kristin before. It wasn't anything too fancy or difficult, honestly it also wasn't exactly that impressive of a thought. It was just called using a brain, and Demetri had still yet to prove that he had one at all. Reminded her of what the Scarecrow had said in the Wizard of Oz "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."

Of course chaos started continuing to erupt as the giant or whatever it was started attacking. Not like she could actively tell what was going on, only she could tell from the sound cues around her. However Kristin told her to still get the info from Leandra's head, and that was something that she more then happily would do. She managed to find where Leandra was and put her to sleep with her powers, before mentally using her abilities to dive into her head to see what sort of things appeared in her dream world.

She saw a few different scenes that played out as she watched, leaning back and seeing what was going on. The first thing that popped up was seeing how Leandra had managed to escape the camp, getting a follower of her to help her and sneaking out of the camp. That was a big thing. At least that explained how she got there more or less. The next thing though was a vision she wasn't entirely sure how it popped up from Leandra's head, but it stood out to her as well.

Them down in Tartarus by a shrine to Hermes.

At least she was fairly certain that was what it was, she had no way to know for certain, but it definitely seemed to fit the description of a shrine, and it seemed to be one for Hermes, which was not one that she would have expected but okay? It was a bit of an odd vision, and Janelle eventually got out of Leandra's head and wasn't sure if now was the time to explain what she saw, or not.

"Do you want to know now what I gaht frahm 'er 'ead, ahr would you prefer waitin until de fight is over?" she ended up asking, trying her best to stay out of the way of the fighting that was going on currently.
