Max chuckled awkwardly as Perry pointed out that the conversation had turned more into just Mira and himself than including All the others present. He may have been new to the X-Men but he's had prior run-ins with plenty of other Mutants and Superbeings in the past few years. Really his life in general had changed drastically in all that time, so now he needed to slow down and help to catch the others up on the two Asgardians. He looked towards Mira first, gesturing towards her letting her know that she had the floor open to speak first. As Mira went on, Max was picking up on the holes she had in her knowledge. He'd assumed she knew more than he in this matter but it appeared they were about on equal footing just in separate regards. So when she finished he figured he could step in and give what he knows of the pair.

”I wasn't there for Loki's game, though based on the timeline I'd say I met them prior to that incident. A while back, a mutant by the name of Wanda Maximoff, Pietro's sister, and a powerful Sorceress, had managed to manipulate all of reality. Chances are you were part of it, all of you, but not in any way you'd even remember. It was a world where mutants were on top and humans the ones meant to serve or cower. One where Magneto was King and the Maximoff line royalty. It was there I'd met some of the X-men with us today, and also where I'd first met Runa and Klara. Mira has the right of it, Runa is the Goddess of Lies, though she is destined to be so much greater by the end of her long life. She had a run in with my best friend who…at the time was trying to kill us all, and I was able to see just how powerful she was with her magic.

Klara on the other hand, The Goddess of Love and apparently Oceans? And quite frankly way too much glitter, was part of a resistance that wanted to take Magento and his family down. Some knew the truth of the world, others didn't. At the time all Klara knew was that I was the one who'd been on the other side, helping Wanda and mutants alike. We started off as enemies, swords drawn and words thrown like knives you can't take back. But in the end we ended up…well I'd say just not enemies. She didn't seem the warm and fuzzy hugging type, but it's hard to blame someone who wasn't even truly themselves in a fictitious world.

Last Halloween I'd had a run in with Klara again, though this time she was a child. Abducted from time and thrown into Limbo alongside others and myself. The Veil was tearing open and we were needed. We…also didn't get along too well there. Though I tried, but the conditions of Limbo made things a bit strenuous, and it didn't help that my magic was being affected by the ambient nature of that realm, causing me to dislocate myself into another region of Limbo leaving Klara, to what I later found out, was a situation in which she had lost her soul. So she wasn't exactly happy with me after that, granted we did get it back after killing a god.” Max stated with a pensive finger pressed against his lips before continuing on.

”In any case, whether that was before, after, or the cause of, her memory issues I don't know. What I do know is that Mira more than likely has the right of it. Chances are Runa came to see Lance (or kill him) and Klara just tagged along. They seem almost inseparable at times.” Max noted. ”So with all that aired out, Clue or we can go and be nosey and see what the pair of Asgardians Aare after?”

As the group moved forward, Gideon and Dorian worked in tandem to take down foes and carve a path to the endgame. Gideon had asked him why they needed Mads, something he'd mentioned he'd explain later, but he quickly came to realize there may not be a later. His worry was that if Arcade were to catch wind of the plan then he'd find a way to counteract it. But he could spy in at anytime, so then when would be a right time? Dorian thought on this as they pressed onwards, Mary Sue using her powers to help with obstacles that stood to either get in their way or attempt to obliterate them. No few times had there been close calls that gave Dorian a dash of adrenaline, a drive you only got in these types of situations…and pro gaming.

Before they knew it they had made it to the end, the King Koopa himself standing before them. ”OK. I ‘ave an idea. Keep Bowser busy while I work on somet’ing else.” Dorian asked as he took a step back from the front. He decided to give Percy's idea a try for once. There were only two ways to beat Bowser and one was extremely risky given how many players, the other…well he wasn't sure how well they'd handle a straight up fight against Bowser with no ranged abilities. So he attempted to focus on his body, his real body back outside of the simulation. Normally the system kept them from accidentally using their powers in the real world, or those tanks would get destroyed on the daily. But Arcade had removed the failsafes, allowing them to die if they did so in game. So maybe if he focused hard enough…maybe he could get his real body to phase out of the tank and take on Arcade one on one.

Dorian closed his eyes, concentrating on the task at hand. But everytime he felt his powers begin to activate, he felt it in the digital world, not the physical. The neurons kept believing that this was his real body and not an assortment of pixels. ”Right. Back to Plan A. Plan B was a no go. Let's kick Boswers ass, find Mads, and move on to operation Magnet Mads.” He said before they'd went into action. Sabine seemed to have a plan in mind, telling the others to get off the bridge asap. Did she watch his playthroughs? A part of him melted inside at the idea of her secret support. But that faded quickly as Bowser glitched and appeared back over to the bridge. Sabine behind him. ”I'll hold him in place so he doesn't move or attack!” Dorian called out as he slipped out of the Koopa Troopa and floated towards the King Koopa himself.

As he rushed towards him he simply…passed through. His possession didn't go as planned, and now he worried that Bowser would rain down on his allies. The Axe broke, the bridge fell under its weight, and Dorian stretched out his mind towards Mary Sue as he attempted to grip her with his telekinesis. The staff glowing and making its eerie noises but he was too slow. He wasn't able to grab hold of her and his heart sank.

Demetri got up and made his way towards Alexios, hugging him and holding him there for just a moment. ”Thank you. I've only met him once myself, when we lost a kid at camp. I'd made him an offering, a hecatomb, though I didn't have any cattle so I had to improvise. He came, helped me through me grief, but in the end told me I'd need a proper sacrifice next I call for him.” He pulled back from the embrace and wiped a tear from his eye. There was some hope. Janelle had seen them in Tartarus, or at the very least what she believed to be it, Alexios was going to try and get a hold of Death and Diana was to gather her Hunters and search for them doors themselves. But that left the Demigods here with little else to do in the meantime.

Demi made his way over towards Zeke, lacing his fingers into his as he stood by his side. ”We have some hope then. One side searches for a way to call them back, another for the doors themselves. There isn't much we can do here now, but Janelle if you have any information on how she escaped then we are going to need it. It's clear Camp HalfBlood has some holes it's defenses now. Something we need to shore up lest another escapes or worse…a traitor walks in. We should return back to camp, we can't stay in this Hotel any longer…we don't even know how long we've been in here in the first place.” He didn't want to say it outloud, because of Nancy, but he missed Andy and Arthur. He wanted to squeeze them tight as soon as he saw them, it had been too long since they all parted. He turned to Zeke and whispered ”You ok? You're uncharacteristically quiet.”

Hermes felt as his breathing rapidly increased, becoming hyper aware of how quickly his chest would rise and fall after Kaitlyn told him to take deep breaths. He inhaled, one long, slow, breath before holding it for a couple of seconds and then letting it go. His heart rate lowering slightly as he attempted to keep himself in check before he went into a full blown panic. ”I don't know Hannah, maybe? He…didn't seem himself. Almost ravenous. Maybe he got rabies? I hear it makes people go crazy.” He replied with a low voice. One hand holding onto the other bicep. Security had finally come and Hermes looked at him wondering what he could possibly do in this situation. He rolled his eyes at the rent a cop before answering. ”I'm fine. Not a scratch on me. It's Elio I'm worried about.”

Blood had smeared onto the small window that looked into the room where Elio resided. Still trying to break free as the doors clattered rhythmically at each attempt. Every thud like a heartbeat. ”Somethings wrong with Elio. Coach is down, dead, I'd watch out for any exposed areas. He tried biting at me. So you might want to cover up before he infects you with rabies too. Actually…can humans pass down the rabies virus?” He answered the security guard before following Kaitlyn. ”Mind if we stop by my locker? It's on the way just…would rather not stay shirtless in this cold ass school”

Max halted in his steps as Mira bade him to wait a moment. Turning slowly to face her with arms crossed for a moment. He'd had no time to answer her initial questions, as she continued on with the explanation of why Runa had possibly ignored him for all this time. His arms dropped to his side, disbelief and horror in equal measures as heard about what had happened to Klara. ”Something happened to Klara? That…certainly can't be any good. It's already a coin toss on if she'll attack me or befriend me when we meet, throw in a mysterious memory issue and the chances somehow seem worse. Especially depending on which version of me she remembers…if she remembers at all.” He stated as be paced a bit closer towards the group again, a finger placed pointedly on his chin as he thought.

His shoulders slumped as Max let out a sigh. Deciding that perhaps there were otherworldly matters Runa had to attend to, especially if Klara was hit with such a curse. He wondered if their space adventure had anything to do with a cure or if perhaps those were two separate and unrelated things. ”While her help would have been greatly appreciated in many matters since last I'd tried contacting her…I suppose that Klara takes precedence in her mind.” As if on cue, Klara began to walk past them and towards the Library from what he could tell. ”Well…we can figure out what our Asgardian visitors have come for…or we can simply go play Danger Room Clue.”

Max brightened up as Mirembe agreed with his plan, more so as the others began to chime in after her. ”That's the spirit! Though I do wonder how it will work. It needs to be able to formulate a plausible storyline as well as plant just the right evidence to help us crack the case to the murder mystery. Oh! I've been wanting to do something like this for what feels like millenia! I heard there are trains in some places that still do murder mystery dinners as you ride them. Very Orient Express. Still haven't ticked that one off my list just yet, but this will be so much better!” He exclaimed just before snapping his fingers at another thought. ”We need outfits! I'll take Professor Plums, let me know who you all want to be and I'll conjure exactly whats-”

His sentence was cut off, the words falling softly and slowly as some rattled the windows of the mansion. A voice booming down the halls and into every corner where no mutant could hide from the sound, especially the one being called for. The magic Max had begun to conjure dissipated in his hands, dust falling slowly to the ground as he looked towards the direction the voice had hailed from. ”Lance? Son of…a bitch! Is that Runa?! I haven't seen her in well…technically months but but that was a very different Runa from way off into the future so it doesn't count. Now I can finally find out why she's been rejecting my calls! Is it too much to ask to simply return a mystic message? In the name of the Old God's…Runa!” Max rambled off as he began to make his way off towards an exit door.

The world glitched before their very eyes, many of their friends vanishing in the matrix leaving only a scant few behind. Whatever it was that Vicky had tried to do, it managed to interfere a little bit. Dorian looked up at the structure before them, analyzing it before speaking. ”Seems we've made it to Bowser's Castle. Whatever glitch in t’e matrix ‘appened, it cut us straight to t’e end it seems.” He didn't like that Danni and April were missing, unsure of exactly what it was that separated them all in the first place. Were they left behind at the beginning? Were they held captive in the Castle? Or did something else occur? It was difficult to say, and sadly he had no answers at the moment. But he had many ideas on how to win out against Arcade and his little games.

Dorian grinned at what Sabine had said. She could manipulate the game's memory, that was good. ”’ere's t’e Play, Gideon and I will run Vanguard, takin out what needs be as we advance t'rough t’e level. ‘opefully your immortality translates into t’e game and you won't lose any ‘earts along t’e way. Mary Sue, use your constructs to aid in support. T’row up walls where needed to block enemy attacks and ‘elp pause future obstacles we may run into like flamin walls and pistons t’at smash down. Beanie, yours is a bit tougher I'm afraid, and it puts a lot on you. Memorize everythin t’at happens from t’is point on. Focus on who's where and when. You're our Flash Save. It's a cheat used when emulatin old games on PC. Essentially, if we lose a ‘eart, you reload t’e memory of moments before t’at ‘eart was lost so we can try again.” He looked at his team, wondering if any of this made sense to them before finally turning back towards their path. ”Let's go”

With that Dorian was off, shifting into his ghost form as he flew straight into the nearest enemy, a Koopa Troopa. He retreated into his shell sliding forward and taking out the next guard before doubling back and sliding forward once again. His hopes were that even if the Koopa was killed, it wouldn't take away his heart's, using the Koopa as a shield against Arcades tricks. He missed his second attack, but that didn't deter him one bit. ”We need to find Mads first. She's t'e key to us gettin’ out of ‘ere. I'll explain more once we ‘ave ‘er. After t'at we need Vic”

They were doing it, their combined forces were driving Porphyrion back. Another volley of arrows flew towards the brute, the others charging in and attacking alongside the gods might. Demi was about to tell Mads that they were already at the doors, so all they needed was for them to hurry there. But before he could the call dropped. He let out a sigh, turning back to face the Titan when suddenly he noticed the grin on his face and his outstretched arm. He braced himself for impact, expecting to be swatted away, but instead he gave his last words before he, and the doors, disappeared from sight. A soft whisper left his lips as all he could manage was ”No…” His swords fell to the floor, clanging loudly as the metal hit tile and bounced in place. The arcs of lightning receding away now that they weren't held.

Zeke looked crestfallen, Demi didn't dare look at Nancy for fear of what she might do. It was a bad situation, but there had to be hope. ”Janelle, please tell me the information you got has something to help us, anything! The prophecy lead us here for a reason, it couldn't have been just to fail right? Right?! Diana, Alexios, your gods! Can't you call up Thanatos? Ask him to bring the doors back? I mean he's Death with a capital D! I don't have the proper offering for him this time and…and…” Demi fizzled out, his hand running through his hair as he pressed his back against the cool wall and slid down to the floor where monster dust littered in places. ”This couldn't be for nothing…” He said as tears dripped down his cheeks.

Hermes was strung up, his emotions turned up to high as he felt his heart beating in his ears. The warmth burned at the tips of them as they thrummed and he watched others begin to pile into the hallway to witness the spectacle this had become. He watched as Mrs. Carver began to reach for his only chance at survival. He gripped the stick tightly as he moved back a step, his knuckles white as the wood groaned beneath his hands. ”Calm down? Calm down?! I was attacked and you want me to calm down?!!” He said through strained words before following into a string of Italian laced with expletives as he reached up with one hand, pushing his hair back before realizing he was still shirtless and the rest of his clothes was trapped in the locker room. It was fine, he kept a spare shirt and jacket in his hall locker anyways, he hated wearing the same shirt after gym because he thought it'd absorb the musty scent of the boys locker room, as pungent as it was.

”Hannah grazie dio! I was getting ready for gym when I heard someone groaning in the shower. Sounded like they got hurt, maybe hit their head I don't know, then I saw blood pooling out from beneath so I checked it out thinking maybe they hit their head hard. When I opened it, Elio was in there along with the body of Mr. Brady, throat ripped out and q bite on Elios neck! Next thing I know he's lunging at me trying to bite me like some Floridian on Bath Salts!” Banging started coming from the doors, as Hermes turned to see in horror that Elio was attempting to break through. He crossed himself with his fingers and said a silent prayer before lunging towards the door, sliding the hockey stick between the handles and blocking it from being opened.

Mirembe came out of the wood works as well, answering the call of Perry's boredom. It had appeared that today may be a slow day, time to relax and have fun. Now that all the mutants had been sent on their ways, perhaps the mansion would know a modicum of normalcy? Apparently board games were out of the question, which was a shame as that was exactly what Max was about to suggest. They had a wide collection of them back at home, but he never truly got to play them all, or at the very least never to completion. The Kingston-Gray's were an odd bunch to say the least, each vastly different from the last and yet they had a bond stronger than blood. James was never one to care for board games, but joined all the same when they were brought up. Ben was more of a traditionalist when it came to them, preferring games of strategy like Chess or Go. Casper viewed every board games night as a massive social event, socializing to the extent where the game got forgotten and they all sat around conversing instead of the small plastic pieces scattered about the board.

Max didn't mind any of this of course. That was just how his family was. But the prospect of getting to play one with the intent of finishing the game was enticing until it was all but stripped away. ”That would be nice for later, but how's that going to cure your boredom now? Maybe we can see if the Danger Room doesn't have anyone scheduled right now, try and program it to run a virtual game of Clue in which we solve an actual murder mystery using its facilities and holograms? Could even all dress the part and talk in accents akin to our characters.” Max suggested.
