Just as Annie started to look away, one of the doors to the mysterious labs opened up and a girl was led out. Annie stared at her with fascination as she watched both her eyes and even her hair shift in colour. The girl spoke to her first and Annie blinked her eyes twice, focusing on the here and now. She smiled a little in return and nodded.
”What do they do to us?” Annie asked. Her father was always very vague on answering Annie’s more specific questions. OMEN was fairly new to her still, they had a different sort in Europe but nothing quite as efficient as it seemed to be here.
The new girl, now right beside Annie, spoke to Agent Flynn as if he were an old friend. She looked over at Agent Flynn, a new admiration and feeling of safety washed over her. Perhaps if this Agent Flynn stayed with Annie, she would be alright. Demetria, or Shapphire, leaned in to whisper into her ear. She listened intently as she explained who Agent Flynn was. A sympathizer, a friend. Yes she would have to stick with him.
Antoinette was about to ask if there were more guards like Agent Flynn when a sudden explosion seemed to echo around them all and shook the very floor they stood on. Without thinking, Annie reached out and grabbed onto Demetria, looking around anxiously as the guards shifted around them. Her eyes watched the guns, fear coursing through her at what was going to happen now. Run. Her legs seemed to twitch in response, so used to that sensation of running.
”Quickly, we must go,” Annie urged her new friend. Antoinette had no clue what the explosion that rocked the building signified, but it was a distraction that she didn’t want to lose. If they could get to a door, sneak through the confusion to the outside world, they could blend in and run somewhere far away from this place. After all, Demetria said this Agent Flynn was on their side and he couldn’t be the only one. They would have help to escape.

Allison was thankful, at least, that her powers were back if she was to be the one shielding the others. As Allison checked on Dean an explosion rocked the building. The concern came across Allison's face until she realized that if there was an explosion than it wasn't OMEN's doing. They wouldn't blow up their own facility. That meant someone was attacking them and that meant that, more than likely, it was the team outside.

Dean freaked out a bit and Allison looked down to offer comfort and then she saw....well she didn't see it for long because she immediately reverted her eyes back to the ceiling. And what a nice ceiling it was! "Umm...yeah defending. I can do that. Seems the others are here, let's get ready."

Allison didn't look back at Dean, a small blush on her cheeks as she stood up and walked to the doors she unhinged. She wasn't sure about the shoot first mentality, but the OMEN agents would more than likely not show them mercy. It was kill or be killed, it seemed.

Sara caught the seeds as she copied Mary's power. She hadn't thought about the lack of foliage inside the building, so that was a clever idea. "Good idea. Much appreciated." Saa turned to face Guin as she argued with both Scarlet Witch and Magneto. That seemed like something she didn't want to be involved in, but there were more pressing matters.

Folly walked off with the bomb and Sara questioned whether or not it should be her with it, but she was already off. "Um, are we sure we should let her go with the b..." before she could ask, the explosion hit and rocked the ship a bit. Sara looked over as Folly was blown from the blast with her FRICKEN ARM OFF. And the girl seemed pretty okay with it, for all it's worth. Sara chuckled a bit, more so because otherwise, she would freak out instead.

"All right, shall we go rescue them then? I need to do something before I lose it seeing someone lose a limb, healing factor or not."

@KazAlkemi "Do you want to see what they do? Trust me, it isn't fun... Honestly for about 10 minutes earlier I got locked in a room and they cranked up the heat, and for me, that isn't exactly a good thing when my powers are active. Heard there is something that they have that counteracts the inhibitors, another formula or something, it would probably be useful right about now..."

"Shut your mouths mutants!" one of the guards said before the explosion went off. Demetria took her chance, and she was all for the getting the hell out of there, and she knocked out the nearest guard, slamming her foot into his knee before kicking his face. It had been the one who was talking to them on occasion, or more of yelling at them.

"Yo Freddie? Got any of that stuff that could get the inhibitor out of our systems or whatever?" she asked him as Flynn knocked another guard down, before he grabbed both of them by the arm and dragged them into the lab as a mob of agents went straight for the sound.

"No, but we should be able to find what you need in here," he said, the scientists had mostly left the room, but Flynn shot a few of them to knock them down before they could do anything against them. "Recommendation? You hurry up, and pray that whoever is attacking the facility keeps on attacking it.

Lance face palmed when he glanced over at Dean. First the guy screamed about an explosion, then there was that, that was definitely not the best way to go about things, at least right now anyway. That was a little ridiculous, and this certainly was not the time for that. "Okay, seriously there? I don't think now is the time for that," Pietro said, voicing Lance's thoughts on the whole thing straight out. For one he actually agreed with the speedster on something.

"Uh... Anyway... Let's get going," Lance said, shaking his head.

"Also. another thing. How much of a wuss are you to scream at an explosion. I mean we nearly got killed by giant robots today, and you are screaming and freaking out over an EXPLOSION? You are ridiculous..."

"Cut him some slack, I mean not everyone is used to explosions, people smashing buildings or whatever..."

"If he's been at the mansion for a few years he should be used to it."

"Be quiet, alright, let's get going before I start getting the urge to strangle you even more than I already do... Let's go before we kill each other by arguing."

"Alright... But we shouldn't kill too many humans if we don't have too..."

Thalia flinched when Ayita flew over to her and started messing with her wings. Ayita had a much better look at her injuries, and it was pretty bad. The base of her wings was badly bloodied and they were blackened and burned. Ayita would be able to create the sling for Thalia's wings, and soon, she'd feel her own powers returning to her. "...Thank you..." Thalia said softly, but she wasn't really heading towards the exit now.

When Richard shoved the agent into the cell, he didn't really do anything to fight back, already knowing that he was beaten. Injuries wise, everyone wouldn't be doing too badly (aside from Thalia). Dean's injury was all but completely healed, and Ayita's had stopped bleeding by now, and same with Allison's, so they were doing decently overall, though they would be pretty sore and slightly painful still.

However, anyone looking over at Pietro would notice that he had a slightly crazed look in his eye suddenly, and it was definitely not the normal sort of thing for him. "Humans can just go die, haven't seen one that hasn't wanted at least some of us dead. They can all go to hell for all I care, just as long as I don't have to deal with their bullshit anymore. They want us dead, sure why the hell not, they practically are declaring war on us anyway by freaking locking us up in here if you ask me, let's go kill them, show no mercy, they don't deserve any."

Lance stared at Pietro when he said that, having completely contradicted what he had said practically a few seconds before. What the hell? Is it just me or did the idiot actually sound like Magneto with that outburst of his? he thought to himself, looking at the speedster.

"It's okay Malo Guina... It did it's job... And hey, it might have caused enough of a commotion for those down below to work on getting out and meeting us up here... So don't worry about it... Folly knew there was a chance that she'd get blown up, and trust me, there are weirder things... She could have lost all of her limbs except for her head, which is extremely weird I tell you... So you didn't do too badly," he said, giving her a slight smile.

"I agree with him on that one Guin, that actually probably benefited us in the long run, considering. I mean, you likely drew a good chunk of the OMEN agents upstairs, and outside, so that means the lower levels are probably clear, giving the others a chance to get free or whatever more easily," Mary added, heading out of the Quinjet.

What the two of them had said was obviously true, as there appeared to be a wave of OMEN agents heading out of the giant hole in the wall. However they also were somewhat limited in their approach to things. Mary for one was really glad that the beginning of the fight was outside, and sent vines and plant life up from the ground, taking out a few of the agents rather quickly.

The speedster took off running, slamming into several of them and taking out several of them in the process, easily disarming them as he went. However, someone in the group wasn't so lucky. Nina, when she came off the Quinjet, she charged into the fighting, managing to take out 2 people as she went, before someone got a lucky shot on her. The bullet slammed into her eye, and she collapsed to the ground, dead.

Mary would have said something about the whole incident, but there wasn't exactly time for it. A bullet nearly hit her in the head, before it stopped in midair, just inches from her face. Anyone who stepped off the Quinjet would almost get hit as well, before the bullets stopped entirely from hitting them. Guess it pays to have the Master of Magnetism on your side for once! Wanda was deflecting bullets away from them as well.

There are around 174 OMEN agents in the facility in total. 100 of them are coming outside. 15 of them are dead, leaving 85 coming out to deal with the group at the Quinjet.

Currently there are 74 agents inside of the building still for the other group to deal with currently.

Ayita sighed in relief as she felt her powers fall back into place. If there was a way to describe it, it was like a mental click. Similar to someone turning the volume up on a television. The wash of instincts and rancor of rage that rushed through her made the woman stiffen and grit her teeth. The one good thing of the powerless was the quiet in her own mind. This babble of swelling ire and fury at the walls and the hunters who caged her was not a uncommon- nor unreasonable- response, but Ayita found it tiresome. Odd considering how much she utilized her powers, and the different way of thinking that came along with it.

That way of thinking could only agree so much with Pietro however, as the shifter herded Thalia from her cage. "Brother." The younger Laine warned sharply, as her amber eyes fixated on the silver haired speedster. Allowing the full force of the beasts and birds that dwelt within her to glare down at the presumptions of man. Finally she turned her attention back to scooping a gun off one of the guards. While she was as imitate with these weapons as her bow, the principle was the same. Point, shoot, and reload after a bit. "We need to get moving."

Richard paused in his steps as Pietro voiced his opinions. Turning his chiseled features slowly towards the younger man, the Adder narrowed his snake similar eyes in disdain. His lips tightening to deliver a harsh strike that would be figuratively poisonous. The sharp word from Ayita paused the former rogue assassin. Counting to ten, he let out a long sigh. His glare never lessening as he gave the younger Pietro a stern look as if he was considering shooting him. Which he was. "How do you think Guin will feel to hear that, Maximoff? She's been human most of her life. Her family's human, dimwit." Raising a brow, the British voice was too calm for the situation. "There's a difference between 'No Mercy', you two pump-chump, and my shoot first order. I'll hold my fire for one damn second- which is more than we have. It's survival when we are outnumbered and outgunned. It's situational, you empty headed Little Silver Spoon!"

Richard sighed and shook his head, muttering unkind things about Guin's 'Little Silver Spoon'. A name he seemed to be taking a liking to the nickname. Though the situation in the hall was far from peachy. While there was a possible exit via a stairwell, there were also several guards- agents! The assassin wanted to groan aloud, and proclaimed in a undertone to the group. "Fifteen- from what I can see. However, there is a stairwell straight to heaven- rescue!" The Adder groaned aloud as Ayita shot him a dirty look. "Bit of a bad pun there, sorry! Basically, goal is to hit them quickly, and take them down. There's seven of us. Two each at least? Oh and Speedy Spoons, aim for those furthest if you can. And try not to hit me." Richard cocked his pistol and kept an eye on the men, waiting for the others to move and the guards to respond. He'd take a shot if any raised their weapons. Much as Ayita was preparing to do just to the side of him. Knelt down on one knee to reduce the risk of her being hit and partly behind Richard's legs.

Bethany made sure that the gun she had was fully loaded while looking among the others that were there, she rolled her eyes a bit at Lance and Pietro when the two would argue yet again. She thought about just simply locking them both in a room back at the Mansion whenever it was rebuilt. "You two act like a married couple sometimes you know that right?" Bethany pointed out, even though she knew that Pietro was dating Guin and all, it was kind of funny to imagine the two dating which would never happen. Bethany took a step over towards Allison since the woman had her powers currently still.

Bethany then stared at Pietro with a surprised look on her face at what he just said, it really wasn't something that she would see him ever saying. Even though he was ex Brotherhood still he was one of the good guys, and then Richard suddenly scolded him Beth wasn't sure why he would have even said that. She wouldn't open fire or attack unless necessary, she would only do it if she really did need to as she got ready and started to move forward. "So make our way to the stairs correct?" Bethany asked, as she could see the swarm of agents heading to the source of the explosion.

Carolina watched as all hell started to break lose in front of her as the swarm of OMEN agents started to come out of the facility, then they started to open fire on everyone. And Nina was the first one to jump out into the fray as she took out two of the agents before ending up getting shot in the head. Well the eye more specifically ending the woman's life, while she did respect the woman at first Carolina didn't anymore after what happened back at Stark Tower.

She stood there as bullets started to fly, only for them to stop as Magneto stopped the bullets in midair Carolina sighed a little bit as she relaxed. Carolina was actually glad that they were on her side for once which was good, then she felt her shoulder being grabbed and looked up at the older version of her sister. "I have an idea." Future Carolina said, as she was led back into the Quinjet getting a seat closest to the pilot's seat for a bit of protection, just as she watched Marygold using her seeds and attacked the swarm of OMEN agents as well.

---

---

---

---

"Try and not attack the two agents that suddenly turn." Future Carolina said to the others and then looked down and sat down in the seat next to her younger self. "Take control of one of their agents and i'll do the same." Future Carolina told her younger self, which she nodded getting an idea now. "Got it." Present Carolina said as she closed her eyes and sat back in her seat, Future Carolina did the same, as they both suddenly left their bodies and quickly went to the closest OMEN agents.

Carolina looked around for a moment, before getting a feel for her current host and started to turn and opened fire on the closest OMEN agents that were attacking their friends, managing to take out about five of them. While Future Carolina quickly did the same thing and went straight over and opened fire as well, taking out four of them. The OMEN agents were either to stunned for two of their own to suddenly turn on them, disoriented from the explosion or they were to focused on attacking the X-Men, Magneto and Scarlet Witch to even notice.

Cassandra watched as her sisters turned and headed back into the Quinjet and quickly knew what they were doing now, she took a step back and used the wall inside of the Quinjet as cover watching as Pietro sped off to attack them, while Magneto and Scarlet Witch blocked the oncoming bullets. Which she was very gratful for that as Cassandra took out her ICER and started to open fire, she managed to fire out five shots at once.

Watching five OMEN agents fall to the ground Cassandra looked towards the others that were still in the Quinjet. "My sister and I will hold the Quinjet while you all head inside once the resistance outside is taken care of." Cassandra said, as she eyed Guin as well, she could stay or go, it was her choice on what she wanted to do after all.

Dean looked at Ayita with confusion - he had never heard that expression before and he had no idea at all what it meant. How was he making doe eyes? His eyes didn't look like a deer at all. Then Richard was telling Pietro to essentially turn himself on and Dean couldn't help but be more confused. Nothing was really making sense anymore. "Maximoff is a brat," Dean mumbled in agreement with Richard before he started to giggle. His expression soured as Pietro and Lance both told him off.

He got to his feet, looking at the speedster. He ignored Pietro's earlier remarks in favor of the humans and he was seeing red. He liked Richard's chastising of Pietro and Bethany's response that Pietro and Lance seemed gay, but he was still mad. His baby sister was human. His adoptive family was human. Most of his friends he had beyond the mansion were human. "Why don't you shut your fucking mouth!" Dean shouted at Pietro. Screw everything he had said previously about working together.

It took him a few swings, before he managed to land a punch on the speedster. He always knew that there was a chance that this all would have been an act - that Pietro was a mole for the Brotherhood - but he was pissed. Everyone he cared about was in danger because of freaking Quicksilver and Dean wanted to kill him.

"Huh, what?" Pietro said, shaking his head before his eyes grew wide at what he had said after the whole thing about Dean. He then proceeds to walk over to one of the cell glass doors, and even though he doesn't have his powers, proceeds to hit his head against it, hard enough to cause it to shatter. His head was bleeding quite a bit, and bits of glass were in the cuts that now covered his face. Since he didn't have his powers, they cuts were still bleeding quite a bit, and were not healing.

Folly nodded, staying still as Cassandra attempted to reattach her arm. It would be a while until she could grow a leg back. She had timed it once and at the very best, it was a process that took hours. Her arm was repaired in the process of the stitching and her healing factor's assistance. Yet she wouldn't be able to do all too much like this. "I'll mind the jet," Folly said. She was crippled. "I'm not much use without a leg."

Guin didn't respond to Mary or Muscles, watching as the Carolinas and the others went outside to be useful. She had powers, but they weren't good for anything. Combined with her accidentally crippling one of the strongest hitters, she felt completely and utterly useless. She was bad luck. She shouldn't even be a member of the team. Walking to the back of the quinjet, she got into a little pod like area where the weapon controls were and she aimed at the O.M.E.N. facility.

"...I'm about to kill people..." she whispered to herself, a single tear falling down her face as she opened fire with the weapons, killing a total of 25 agents. Her hands were shaking slightly. She never had killed before. She never had used lethal force. She couldn't help but feel like a monster - like she was no better, murdering those OMEN agents, than they were with their treatment of mutants. She wasn't acting with any authority. It was vigilantism.

"Why did I let that happen, I shouldn't have done that, I'm so stupid!"

She thought about saying something back to Pietro. But she didn't. She didn't know if she could bring herself to look him in the eye.

Torture. What Demetria was proposing was in this facility they tortured mutants to see what their power was. What their weakness and their strengths were. To what end though? To copy and manipulate them? The ideas that roamed through Antoniette’s head, crashed against ever surface like the storms she had seen on the coast of Ireland. Her instinct to run seemed to become cemented. She barely heard the guards yelling and didn’t even notice Demetria fighting until her arm was grabbed and they were suddenly in one of those rooms that Demetria had been taken out of earlier. The sudden fire of a gun pulled Antoniette back into focus. She cringed at the sound and seperated herself from the two people trying to save her. She feared guns, they put her into a bad space and she had a hard time coming out of there. Her illusions used to help her, give her focus but she didn’t even have that now.
She looked at the scientists, now on the floor, from where she hid. They were bad people but people all the same. Perhaps they were forced into this as much as any one of them could be. It didn’t seem right to Annie but with the yelling and sounds of gunfire all around them, nothing about the situation was right.
She peered into the different vials and dishes as well as some of the computer screens that remained intact. The images on the screens made no sense to Annie. She saw the world in colour not in numbers. As she continued her scan she saw a cabinet lined with different vials with names and such on them.
”What about in here?” Annie inquired. Now with something to focus on, she walked around the bodies on the floor, pretending they were merely sleeping or knocked out rather than bleeding out. She opened up the cabinet and started rummaging through the contents. She didn’t have an honest clue what she was looking for.

Allison struggled with the doors. She tried her best to fold them into a competent shield, but since she pried them off with some wear and tear, they didn't hold together too well. The shield would protect them somewhat at least, but she wasn't confident it would hold. "I'm not gonna lie to you, this shield isn't the best so if we all want to get out of here alive I suggest you all be ready to unleash your powers and fight back."

Allison awaited with the shield, ready to hold it up for defense. However, it seemed Dean and Pietro were having none of it and began fighting. Allison couldn't help but roll her eyes. As cute as Dean was and as helpful as Pietro was, this was not the time for this. "Hey, idiots! Quit it! We don't have time for in-fighting. Save it for the fricken' OMEN agents outside the door ready to fill us with bullets. We are getting out of here alive and I won't have you two messing it up! Now, let's go!"

Sara flung herself outside to the chaos already ensuing. Agents were coming around, but the others seemingly were holding their own. Quin was firing the jet's guns, which was pretty badass in her opinion. Everyone else was fighting so Sara summoned what energy she could. She saw an opening to make some real mischief with her new plant powers. She summoned vines, with thick thorns to wrap her targets.

Instead what popped up was a nice flower bush. Harmless and cute. Sara all but sputtered volatile language. She tried to get it to do something. Rain thorns. Explode. SOMETHING! Nothing worked. "Well shoot..." She wasn't used to these powers quite yet. She hoped the others weren't watching too carefully. She backed away in case the agents decided to unleash hell back on her.

@KazAlkemi Demetria wandered over to where Annie was and started looking through the cabinet, pulling things out a bit as she went. "Well, we are in luck," she said as she pulled three syringes out of the cabinet, "Looks like there are three doses... There are others here who could use that last one, but just for the two of us, we are going to use the ones that we have. It might take us a moment or two, but our powers should return pretty quickly overall..." she said, before she injected herself with one of the serums, and she administered the other one to Annie. After a few moments, her hair went completely white, and her skin paled, and she glanced over at Annie with ice blue eyes. "Now to have some fun," she said with a smile as she sent a blast of ice into the ceiling, the temperature of the room seemed to drop slightly. Agent Flynn just rolled his eyes slightly.

"If you are done being a bit overly dramatic, we need to get going."

Something seemed to happen in Mary's head as the bullets kept flying at them, but apparently OMEN agents were worse shots than Storm Troopers at the moment. She realized something and it did not go over well with everything else that had still been flying through her head. "Ich bin ein Idiot ... Ein verdammter Idiot, was zum Teufel habe ich gedacht? Ich werde uns alle mit dieser Geschwindigkeit töten lassen, ich bin so dumm! Wie wirklich, was ich dachte, würde passieren, all das ist meine Schuld..." she said, switching to her native language.

Now, she completely forgot about this, but there actually are three people near her that actually could understand what she was saying, Magneto just glanced over at her for a moment, before going back to deflecting bullets away from everyone, and then there was Wanda and Future Pietro. The twins (from different timelines) just sort of stared at her for a moment, hearing her words. "Uh... Mary... Are you okay? Since I know you generally aren't one to typically use words like that..." the speedster said.

She didn't answer him, at least not at first, but anyone who looked at her could practically see the wheels turning in her head. This whole thing... Us even having to be here... This is my fault, it's all on me... If I hadn't been so stupid, than maybe we wouldn't even be in this situation to begin with, she thought to herself, before she looked over at everyone else. "Shut up speedy, how long can you keep the bullets away from us?" she said, addressing this last part to Magneto.

"For a while... If need be..."

"Alright, you likely are going to want to actually listen to what I'm going to say, so pay attention and hopefully still not allow one of us to get shot or something..." she said, before she headed back to be closer to the Quinjet, motioning for those outside to join her. Once everyone was there, she turned to address them. "...This whole situation, it's my fault for being so stupid... I should have listened to what others suggestions were... And I just didn't alright. When everyone was yelling, all of the arguing... That just kind of did not go over well in my head, complete with everything that had happened until that point well... It just wasn't the best thing for me. And now there is a chance that people are probably going to get killed because of it, Nina already did, because of me. But... That doesn't mean we can't turn this around..."

Mary turned to look at Guin, "...Mind seeing if JARVIS or whichever AI was on the job of hacking OMEN to see if we can find a floor plan for the facility?"

Guin was sitting still, her hands on the controls of the quinjet's weapons. She seemed to be in shock as she glanced up at Mary and nodded. "I-I instructed the A.I. to alert me as soon as they found anything, Mary...." she said quietly.

As soon as she said that, Guin would get an alert about it. "...It'll be okay Guin..." Mary said softly to her, giving her a smile. She could tell something was up with Guin, but she figured she wouldn't want to talk about it.

She completely ignored what Mary said, double tapping one of the quinjet's consoles until a holographic 3D depiction of the facility layout came up. "There...."

"...Thanks for that Guin..." Mary said softly, leaning to look at the image. She whispered to Guin, so only she could hear her, "If you want to talk later... Let me know..." After whispering this, she went back to studying the image. The main power control room was on the first floor, but there were parts that went up to the roof or something that helped to run power throughout the entire facility. Making it so they didn't have power would likely help the team out in the long run, but there was no way they'd be able to get there easily unless there was some distraction or whatever. Well, they'd just have to make one the old fashion way then.

"...We have two priorities, but rescuing the team is the top one right now... the secondary one is to cut off power so that OMEN can't call backup, since there is more than just the one OMEN base... Problem is the power control room is on the first floor, the floor we likely won't be able to get to very easily... Cass, you and both versions of your sister stay here to keep an eye on the Quinjet and knock out any OMEN agents you see. Damon, you stay with them since that dragon of yours could be fairly useful right now in protecting the jet and making sure they don't destroy it or something. Now, my thinking for the group who is going to go cut the power, the best way to get them inside, and to knock out everything, they need to get to the roof, and ironically because of his power set, thinking Magneto or whatever can take whoever is going over there. Which... Well... A few of you might not like my suggestion too much, but I was thinking Mira and Guin can go with him, since they likely know more about technology than anyone else here." she said, and waited for a moment to see if anyone would have any sort of outbursts.

Magneto just shrugged slightly, "I am fine taking the two with me to get rid of the power supply, after all, we can not let this facility run any longer," he said simply.

As to be expected, the Future speedster was not too thrilled at this idea of sending Guin off with Magneto. Mary was practically counting down the seconds until he said something, and it wasn't too surprising when he did a few moments later. "Fine, I'll go with them then."

"Sorry Speedy, but time is critical right now, especially since OMEN now knows we're here, and will likely think about killing those in there who are apart of our team. And before you say anything, we need to work fast, you are the fastest one here, and I haven't even told you what I need you to do yet."

"...Tell me what you want me to do then..."

"As I mentioned, we need speed, and then I also mentioned how the power room the other group needs to get to is on the first floor. And since I know that you can carry up to three people with you easily at the least, myself, Sara, and Wanda will go with you. What I need you to do is go inside, with us, and punch straight through the rest of the agents who are blocking our way, and hopefully by the time the other group gets back to the first floor, most of the agents will have gone after us and allowed them an almost clear shot."

"...So we're the group whose taking off into the facility to hopefully find everyone then? Why can't I go with Malo Guina? I don't trust her with him!"

"Because there is no easy way to get inside, and you give us the best shot at succeeding... Please, we need you to do this, I'm sure she'll be fine..."

"...Fine, whatever..."

"...Thank you Pietro..."

Wanda had started to sort of stare at Future Pietro when he had called Guin Malo Guina, and Magneto had raised his eyebrow slightly at that. It was when Mary had called him Pietro that they both stared at him. Seeing their reactions, Mary just rolled her eyes, "Yeah, time travel is fun... And honestly how many silver haired speedsters do you know? I thought it would have been obvious..."

Magneto just shook his head, before he stepped out of the way of everyone else. Future Pietro walked over and started having a whispered argument, one that no one else could hear. Pietro left him after a moment, and Mira walked over, waiting to get going. Once Guin joined the two of them, Magneto flew them up onto the roof of the facility. There seemed to be a helicopter landing pad of sorts, and a door going inside. The things that showed up on the facility diagram were there too.

Future Pietro was not too thrilled with this plan, but he glanced over at the others. "Alright, whoever is going with me, grab on and I'll punch us through," he said, holding his arms out, Mary grabbed onto him, feeling slightly weird considering the fact that this was technically her best friend's boyfriend, and apparently Pietro was going to get some serious muscles or something. Once the others grabbed on, he stared at the path he was going to take, and there was a loud boom and a huge gust of wind and the four of them would find themselves in the facility on the first floor. There looked to be offices and a lab or so nearby, a staircase wasn't too far away either, since odds were taking the elevator would end badly. The speedster had nicely cut a path straight through the mob of agents, so now they were near a bunch of them, but Wanda was using her powers immediately to deflect bullets.

Lance was just sort of staring at Pietro, wondering what the hell was up with the guy. He just blurted out how much he hated humans, and now he is obviously beating himself up over it, so what was going on. He thought for a moment, thinking of everything he knew, or had ever heard of, involving the Maximoff twins, and something clicked into place for him about it. Wanda Maximoff was known to have some mental problems, so could it be possible that Pietro did as well?

He was about to say something, as Pietro turned to the wall and started banging his head against it. The glass was still on his face, and every time he hit the wall, the glass would dig in deeper, causing more blood to come from his injuries. "I am not like him, I am not like him..." Pietro muttered to himself, over and over again.

This definitely made Lance question Pietro's sanity, even though it was obvious who the "him" in Pietro's words likely was, but still. He's beating himself over this, and he isn't even responding to the pain like a normal person! "Look, stop beating yourself up..." he said, but Pietro ignored him, and Lance grabbed Pietro's shoulder and yanked him slightly away from the wall. "...Wanda isn't the only one in your family with some mental issues is she?"

"...No... Now, let's see about getting out of here..." Pietro said, before he glanced out the doorway at the agents in the hallway. Despite all the noise they were making, the agents hadn't heard them, and didn't even seem to notice that anything was going on.

---

---

---

---

Dean stared at Pietro in shock, having seen the speedster pound his head against the glass and manage to shatter it. His face was starting to look pretty messed up and Dean shook his head slightly. "I'd say you'll knock a screw loose but I think you already did, Maximoff," Dean muttered. The Banner kid seemed to be playing psychiatrist and figured out that the speedster was insane. Now that was comforting. He always wanted a (formerly?) homicidal insane speedster around.

Dean then looked at Allison for a moment. "...Let me see if I can even the odds," Dean offered, before he quietly crept into the hallway. He used his agility and managed to dodge and disarm the first three, only to trip over his feet (damn shoelaces!) and he slammed into the ground, face first. Letting out a bit of a groan, the remaining twelve armed agents turned and aimed their guns at him. "...We should have gone for get help..." Dean groaned. At least they weren't shooting at him. That was good.

"...I'm fine," Guin told Mary simply after she leaned in to whisper in her ear. She glanced out to see Sara trying to use Mary's plant powers to buy them some time, but it looked like she hadn't quite gotten the hang of them. Guin was one of the only other people in the world that could understand what Sara was doing - she too had tried to get the hang of the powers of others before. It was never easy. Damon's dragon was continuing to fly around, failing to hit anything but it was at least serving as a distraction.

She then bit her lip - she wasn't very comfortable around Magneto. But if he ended up killing her out of revenge...She probably deserved it after what she just did. She quietly walked over to Magneto and Mira, not even able to properly enjoy him flying them up to the rooftop of the facility. The odds were stacked against them and Nina had already died. How many more people would die before they got through? If I die...Magneto probably did it, Guin thought, having forgotten for a moment that Pietro could read her thoughts. "Can you open the door?" Guin asked Erik. She could probably pick the lock if needed but she figured she'd let the metal manipulator try first.

"Wait what?" Pietro responded. Magneto chuckled slightly, before he waved his hand and the door ripped off the hinges. Oh um nothing important... Guin winced a bit. "What was that laugh for, fuck face?" Guin asked, not able to help but antagonize Magneto. The door then proceeded to hit Guin over the head, dazing her for a moment, but not doing much to hurt her, but it was obvious he was trying to not hurt her for some reason. Guin held her head, glaring at Magneto. She knew she had technically started it. "Are you really just being semi-nice to me by not killing me because you know I'm a mutant now? Since that's pathetic."

"...Tell me please..." She let go of her head, letting her hand fall to her side. Mary's idea. "I have my reasons, none of which I need to tell you," Magneto snapped. "...What's going on?" Guin huffed, before she filled Pietro in on what he had missed, still holding a glare with Magneto. "...Uh..."

"I hate you," Guin said, before she moved to enter the facility from the roof.

---

"Damn." The man groaned aloud as Dean and Silver Spoon went at it. Snarling over a problem they didn't have time to deal with. A problem made worse by Pietro bashing his head through a glass wall. He'd have to take the boy aside sometime and have a word about the fact Pietro really needed to haul ass mentally if he wanted to be what- Richard considered- Guin needed. Whether the Stark wanted him to or not, he was in her debt and thus would work in her best interest. It was a debt, not that he actually cared about the lad. He was a ruthless, cunninng assassin and killer. "There goes my image." The raven haired man muttered as he cocked the safety of the gun back.

The second shot of movement that bolted from his leg caught his attention. Ayita was on the move, shortly after Dean took off. The brat was clever enough to disarm three of them before falling. Tripping it seemed, and not in the fall way. His shots range out covering his sister as she bolted for them. Most likely getting close for the sake of her powers. Three agents? No, seven. Though not all those shots were his, much to Richard's annoyance as he readied to duck out of the line of fire. Apparently Ayita was more proficient that he gave her credit for. "Clever girl." The assassin chuckled as his snake eyes were trained on the agents.

---

---

Ayita felt Dean pass rather than see him, her amber eyes locked onto her targets. This was not a hunt but a fight for survival and she did not lose those. Her heart wrenched at the thought of killing more people, but what could she do? They would surely kill her family and friends if she didn't take them out. It was in defense of the pack and she lunged forward, trying to quell the wrenching of her gut. Killing never bothered her, not when it was animals. But humans? That bothered a great deal and she feared she would turn into the monster her mother called her. A beast. "A mindless animal." The thought echoed in her mind absently. Remains from her fight against Wonderland. Words that would haunt her forever.

But she moved into a fox's trot. Loping over the ground as she raised the gun and shots pierced the air. Seven men dropped with wounds. One dropped dead, her bullet in his throat. It was a ugly death and she wished it was otherwise. Ayita wished she could close her eyes to the horror, but that was a fool's move. Another face to haunt her memory. Her lips thinned slightly as she wished to be far from this damned laboratory. Far from OMEN. But wasn't that the issue? She couldn't leave because OMEN would hunt them. Until she was satisfied the danger was negated, til it wasn't at risk of going north... She would not go home. She would not risk the fruitful range she had run those years in the wild to some war between humans and mutants. Plus, Richard hated the cold. She wasn't ready to leave him yet- or Damon. These thoughts passed quickly as she prepared to shift. A moose perhaps? With hooves and power? They were known in the north to be more arguably worse than bears. A bear might run. A moose? A moose did not.

Bethany watched for a moment as Pietro started to bash his head in against a glass door which made her roll her eyes a bit, the guy was certainly very mentally unstable now or just due to some of the stress that has been going on. She then watched as Dean quickly ran off along with Ayita, she however decided to remain close to Allison she was using the cell doors as a shield after all, and she really wasn't in the mood to get shot at or taking a few bullets either.

She moved a little bit forward and then drew out the handgun that she took from one of the OMEN agents and then quickly opened fire on the group of agents that were in front of Dean and Ayita. Seeing one of them falling to the ground dead, while the other two ended up getting injured from the handgun rounds. She quickly went back and hid behind the doors that Allison had held up, looking over at Richard and then the others. "Hurry up and just get out of the way." Bethany yelled towards Dean, seeing him still in the line of fire. "Also less talking about whatever you guys are talking about, we need to work together and get the hell out of here." Bethany said staring at Pietro and Lance.

Carolina took a moment to leave the body of the OMEN agent that she had in control of, and then looked over towards Marygold for a moment and listened to her speak. "None of this was your fault at all." Carolina said as she stood up from where she had sat and listened to her give out her plan. She eyed Damon, the older version of herself and her sister and nodded she didn't mind staying behind she would feel like she would be a bit useless while in the facility itself.

Carolina watched as everyone went and started to get out and do their duties, she looked back at those that were still on the Quinjet and went back to take her seat. She went back to what she was going to do before taking control of yet another OMEN agent who was focusing on the quinjet. Then quickly went in and attacked his fellow agents, taking out four of them rather quickly as she moved the body she had control over for cover.

---

---

---

---

Future Carolina stood up once she had finished what she was doing, and looked at everyone else that was there as Marygold spoke up, going with a gameplan now and nodded. As much as she would rather be fighting in the facility itself she wanted to make sure that the Quinjet was protected. "Sounds like a good plan." Future Carolina said, as she watched everyone starting to get up and go with their own tasks, as soon as Guin got up from her seat Future Carolina quickly took her spot.

Future Carolina quickly took control over the guns and moved the gun and quickly started to open fire on the OMEN agents below, she didn't really care for who they were. She hated anyone who worked for OMEN seeing ten of their bodies dropping rather quickly as she made sure that they were very much distracted by the Quinjet while also making sure that they didn't get shot down either.

---

---

---

---

Cassandra made sure that they were at bay while she listened to Marygold, she shook her head a bit, Nina had it coming honestly the woman nearly killed all of them. Sure they were friends at one point but now that she was dead, they needed to focus on what was going on exactly, as Cassandra turned around and nodded towards Marygold. "I'll keep the Quinjet moving and distract the OMEN agents outside." Cassandra said towards her as soon as Guin got up Cassandra took control of the Quinjet itself.

The younger Carolina went back to possessing an OMEN agent below while the older version of her quickly took control of the gun and they worked together on taking out the OMEN agents below and distracting them, as she flew overhead of them, making sure that they wouldn't focus on the teams going inside of the facility.

Antoinette sucked in a breath as the needle sank into her skin. She watched the liquid get pushed into her vein with mild fascination. Once the liquid was completely dispensed, the needle was pulled and dropped to the ground where is was promptly forgotten. Within moments Demetria’s powers came back and Annie’s jaw dropped as she watched the girls hair and eyes change. Her power was incredible! Overly dramatic? Antoinette hardly thought so. It was beautiful. The perfect mix of elegance and chaos.
However, Antoinette didn’t get to admire her new friend’s power for long as hers came back into full swing within minutes of being injected. A swarm of emotions and feelings of desire and fear swarmed Antoinette’s head. She dropped to her knees, in obvious pain as she clutched her head and started to scream. The sudden onslaught of emotions was much for her to handle, especially when she had been ignoring her powers for so long. She desperately tried to bring about an illusion to block out the enhanced intuition but she couldn’t concentrate long enough. Everyone around her was intent on killing or running for their lives and she could feel it all. The continuing firing of guns were not in her favour of concentrating either.
Annie began to rock back and forth, tears streaming down her face and hummed an old, familiar tune. An image of her mother came to the forefront of her mind and the pain that was around her seemed to suddenly drop off. Her mother seemed to glow as she danced around the kitchen, humming and dancing to the very tune Antoinette currently was humming. It was from her favourite movie, Anastasia. Her mother danced over to the little Antoinette of her memory and picked her up. They danced around the kitchen and Antoinette felt that familiar warmth as if her mother was with her now.
The memory continued to dance around Antoinette as she opened her eyes and faced the destruction around her. The room was freezing but Antoinette seemed to embrace it as she stood, rising to her feet as if nothing had happened. She knew she wouldn’t be much use in this fight but she wasn’t going to die here either.
”Let’s go,” she agreed. Her voice was soft but it was full of power.

@KazAlkemi "We need to get down below, there are others here who need our help getting out... Probably could use that last vial on one of them," Flynn said, before he poked his head out of the door, his gun raised slightly in his hand.

"Agreed, there are too many around here in order for us to just leave them... Besides, there is another here whose been here a while who was in pretty bad shape last I saw her, not too long before they brought in the new bunch. Hopefully we can get down there fairly quickly, so we can all get out of here," Sapphire said, edging towards where Flynn was.

Flynn stepped out of the lab, no one nearby seemed to think much of him, but when she edged out of the lab, that was when all hell broke loose. The 25 agents in the immediate area turned and noticed her white hair, that was the major downside to having a mutation that showed in how you look, as they instantly raised their weapons and started shooting. Sapphire managed to get up an ice shield rather quickly, and Flynn poked his head around the edge and started shooting. Apparently he was a better shot, as he easily took down 4 agents and injured a 5th. "Hey there, you wouldn't by chance have a power that could be helpful right now would you?"

Mary just shook her head slightly at Carolina, when they were suddenly whisked away inside of the facility. They were basically surrounded completely by the agents who had been heading outside, so no matter what happened, they were literally in the thick of things now. "Pietro, we need to keep moving, and quickly..." Mary managed to say as she sent vines flying out of her pocket as she slammed a few agents away from them, Wanda was doing a pretty good job keeping the bullets away from them, for now anyway.

After a few moments of fighting the agents off, Mary noticed what was likely to be the stairs leading downstairs, and she knew they needed to get over there. She started edging that way, "Come on, the stairs are this way... Since the elevator is likely going to be down pretty soon if the other group manages to do their part..." she said, the speedster nodded his head as he seemed to have the agents part away by running back and forth between them and the staircase.

Mira was not too thrilled with the idea of being stuck in a group with Magneto, but it did make the most sense. There was one thing that was bugging her slightly, and that was what exactly had the speedster from the future say to him to ensure that he didn't try and kill Guin or something? Whatever it was likely did the trick, since he wasn't trying to take Guin out or anything aside from a slight bump on the head at the moment. Hopefully things stayed that way. Her throat was feeling a lot better by then, so she was likely going to be able to scream at a moment's notice.

Hesitantly, she ignored the other two's bickering for a moment and started making her way inside of the building. "Uh, excuse me... But would you two stop arguing and come along? We do have a job to do you know..." she said softly. Magneto shot one last glare of sorts at Guin, before he followed Mira inside. The stairs went down for a little ways, before they ended at a door, but considering the fact that they had only gone down one flight of stairs, it likely was only one floor down. Yet the building was designed weird with the floor plans apparently, as there weren't anymore stairs in the stairwell to go down.

"Come on Pietro, snap out of this crazy nonsense so we can hopefully get out of here with our lives," Lance said with a slight eye roll. His powers still weren't working, which in a way sort of made him virtually useless in the fight that was likely to come. It was going to likely cause some problems, that's for sure.

"Whatever, just leave me alone, alright? Let's just get out of here or something while they have most of the guys distracted..." Pietro mumbled slightly, shoving his hands into his pockets, blood was still trickling down his face, but he didn't seem to care.

"...You might want to get the glass out of those cuts..." Lance suggested, looking at him.

"Yeah, like I care, trust me, cuts from glass is nothing."

"...If you say so..." Lance responded a bit dubiously. By now, Bethany lucked out somewhat, as her powers would return to her. The OMEN agents started firing their weapons at the group, and since Dean was literally a sitting target, they were going after him more than anyone else. He ended up getting hit by another bullet in the stomach, though with his rapid healing it shouldn't take too long to be back up at full strength, as well as a bullet to the knee, which probably hurts like hell. All the other agents seem to be as good as Storm Troopers, since they can't hit anything at all.

---

---

---

---

Dean saw his life flash before his eyes.

Ayita and Richard, bless them, went to start taking out agents. Charlie seemed to have become entirely useless - Dean couldn't say he was shocked. The ice and fire manipulator was pretty much just standing around, doing nothing. It reminded him of someone else but he couldn't put his finger on it. He had the vague impression it was someone annoying, however. Yet he was snapped out of his thoughts as two bullets hit him and Dean screamed. He didn't know which one was more painful and he stayed on the ground. Even though he healed quickly, he felt every bit of searing pain.

"Damn it, would someone disarm the rest of them!" Dean shouted, hoping Allison or Lance or Pietro or someone would do something. He didn't really appreciate being a depository for bullets - and he didn't know how many bullets he could take before he died. He didn't want to die - not like this.

Once she made her way down the staircase and hit the bottom of the stairs, Guin frowned for a moment. They had only gone down one flight of stairs, yet she knew for a fact that the facility seemed to have multiple levels - so where were the rest of the stairs going down? Or had they skipped over all the other levels and now were at the bottom floor? She opened the door at the bottom, seeing eight agents and none of them had noticed her or her companions yet.

"In a facility like this, the breakers and everything will most likely be in the lowest level," Guin whispered to her companions. She then glanced at the door and got an idea. In a facility like this, she expected it to be made out of metal. She then looked at Magneto. "...Can you rip the door off of its hinges and use it as a shield or battering ram of sorts to knock out those agents?" She closed her eyes for a second, thinking about Pietro and she managed to feel that he was several floors down. "...Great, it's like your dumbass lab we raided with a weird layout. I bet we're only on the second level."

Magneto shot Guin a look, before without even moving his hand the door came off the hinges and he slammed it into the agents, knocking them down easily, "If it weren't for someone else, you would likely be dead by now for your insults."

Guin hesitated for a moment, looking at Magneto as he cleared the floor easily. She had to assume that he meant Pietro - but that in itself didn't make much sense. From what she knew, Pietro didn't have the greatest relationship with his father. "...That was pretty badass. Blow it up?" she told Magneto, holding out her hand for a fist bump. Magneto just rolled his eyes, but didn't respond, just walking into the hallway, the door was floating around still. "Wow, rude, leaving me hanging?"

Guin followed out after him, hoping that he wouldn't decide to attack her. As much as Magneto terrified her, she felt strangely comforted by his presence. At the other end of the hallway, there was the door that would go to the next staircase. The main issue was there were tons of doors that at any time could open up to reveal more agents. "...Can you make it so those doors won't budge, just so no one comes out to surprise us?" Her thoughts then flickered to her boyfriend, a few levels below. Your dad is actually being kinda nice to me... "...He is?" Yeah, it's weird and....a bit confusing... Wow...

She knew logically that Magneto was a terrible person - that he had tried to kill so many people that she cared about in the past. But the world was hanging in the balance - and he was trying to do something about it. While she imagined that Mary or Xavier or her father would yell at her for killing all of those people...She didn't think that Magneto would.

"Guina snap out of it... My father is not the sort of person you want to be around!" ...I know that... "Good." ...But for argument's sake...What if...what if... She bit her lip slightly, glancing at Mira. She couldn't bring herself to finish the thought. She wanted to protect the people she loved and cared about - what if Magneto's methods were the way to do that?

"No, absolutely not Guina... My father is wrong in just about every way!" ...Maybe... "No maybe, he is." They took you away and put you in this torture palace, Pietro....Maybe if we had been more aggressive....then...you wouldn't be here....You'd be safe. "No." It's plausible....The X-Men's way....it didn't stop that nightmarish future....We know that.... "Yeah, because a bunch of people had already died! My father's choices aren't the way!" ...How can you be so sure? "Because I am, just trust me Guina..."...I just want to protect you. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine..." ...What if they kill you?

"They won't."

---

---

She was upon them before they could turn their guns from Dean. One bullet had struck the speedster in the gut and the woman scented blood upon the air. Her body broke and reformed with the crack of bones and a spray of blood. Skin stretching to accommodate a much larger size. Platter sized hooves lashes out knocking the weapons aside. Her massive form and sudden attack knocked three men aside. The rest being wise, and quick, enough to evade her charge. Bones snapped under her hooves and the moose crushed any who were beneath her.

Though Ayita was careful, she evaded stomping on Dean. Marygold would probably fuss about her killing more people, but they had shot first. If it wasn't for Dean's healing factor he would die. That required not an answer, but action. Actions that would haunt her later. Letting our a calving bellow, Ayita lashed out in warning with her hind hooves. Scattering the fallen. The animal within her was pissed and angry, though Ayita was a bit more clinical with her thinking. Preparing to launch herself at the others, the moose=woman pawed the strewn floor with a splayed hoof.

---

---

---

---

Richard blinked at his sister's ruthless attack. Was it nessecary? He'd say so seeing as the agents of OMEN had turned their weapons on Dean in an attempt to kill him rather than restrain him or shoot the bigger threat. Contempt burned within him for the fools as they scattered under Ayita's charge. He had expected a predator. Bear, tiger, lion, perhaps even a wolf. But a moose? Oh, as he thought of it he conceded the decision had been a good one. Moose were feared and with good reason. Large splayed antlers, a bad temper and hooves the size of dinner platters.

He didn't want to cross one himself. Aiming down the sight of the pistol, the Adder gave a grim smile. Had he been the agent's trainer he would have slapped them all silly. They could have restrained Dean and then forced the mutants into a defensive position and waited them out. But of course with the attack coming from the outside as well as within... It was a tad difficult. Firing three times and aiming as to not hit his little sister. Richard gave a grim smile as one made dropped to the ground, a round lodged in his head. The other two were wounded, a leg and arm, but with luck would surrender. "Lay down your arms, and I call the moose off." Richard offered. Taking aim again the Adder fortified himself for refusal, and to do what he needed to.

---

Allison was through sitting around and talking and it appeared the others were too. Dean was...not up for what would be happening. She hoped he wouldn't get himself killed. With the shield in front of her, Allison charged out with the others to take on the guards that were holding them. Although Richard seemed to have things under control and moose Ayita was a force to be reckoned with, Allison didn't like the looks of those guns and her makeshift shield would only hold so much.

So she concentrated hard and yanked the guns from their hands, leaving them without it. "All right now, are we going to do this easy or hard? As the man said, do you really want a moose on you now that you have no weapon to aid yourself?" Allison scanned around, in case anyone else showed up, but she was fairly confident, at least now, that they would have no trouble.

---

---

---

Sara was a bit taken aback at Mary's words. She imagined the girl had a lot on her mind considering it all, but to see her take responsibility quickly followed by action was sort of badass. The girl seemed to accept the mistakes she and the others have made and intended to show she was capable and Sara, for one, was eager to see the results.

Though she hoped Mary would talk to the others not with them.

She followed Mary, Wanda, and the Future Pietro with a goal in mind. Pietro was holding back the guards, but as they moved on, more were still coming after them. Taking out the seeds Mary gave her, she threw one to the ground and summoned her new power, quickly growing out the vines she wanted before. Thick, thorny masses sprouted up, nabbing the guards that got past and tangling them up. It would hurt and it would be a bitch to get out of.

Satisfied, Sara quickly looked at Pietro and scanned his ability. She felt it would be best to have that in her back pocket going forward. She followed the others down the stairs.

---

Bethany watched as the others went to defend Dean, Ayita turned into a moose of all animals, she personally would have gone for an elephant or rhino they were massive animals that could probably take a huge beating from just about anything. But a pissed off moose would work just as well with those massive antlers that they had on their heads. Then she started to feel the familiar feeling again as her powers started to come back, looking at her hand as dark smokey like tendrils moved around her hand. Bethany couldn't help but smile a bit more feeling better now that she could use her powers again.

"Got my powers back." Bethany said, just as she was about to use them, and move through the shadows to attack them from behind, however Bethany couldn't get any kind of control over them as it fizzled out. "Or not.." Bethany said, as she watched Allison managing to yank the guns out of their hands.

Carolina was still on the ground using her current meat shield as she continued to fire on the agents, dodging out of their shots as they started to realize that one of their own had turned. Carolina watched as the Quinjet moved a bit awkwardly she didn't like that at all, but it seemed that her sister quickly had regained control over it which was good, and then her future self on the guns easily took out the OMEN agents that were turning on her.

Carolina quickly hid behind some cover, and reached over for a new gun her current one was out of ammo, and started to open fire on them again managing to take out a good number of them. As the Quinjet above continued to fly around and attack them from above, gratful for her sister's help, they just needed to last a little bit longer until the others got the rest of the team out and whoever else was inside of the facility as well.

Future Carolina continued to swivel the gun taking out OMEN agents one by one as they were attacked under the hail of bullets from above, as Cassandra made pass over pass from above. She noticed her youngerself the one she had been controlling was now getting fired at, luckily she wasn't actually down there. Then Cassandra lost a bit of control as she lost sight of her targets, but a few seconds later she was back in control once more.

Cassandra lost some control over the Quinjet as she made a pass over the OMEN agents who were firing at the quinjet from the ground, watching her sister's meatshield below continuing her assault on the ground, made her smile a bit. Seeing her sister doing her best from the ground, as the future version of her sister opened fire from the quinjet taking out about thirty more OMEN agents all together in the process.

Antoinette flinched when the guns started to fire. She dropped to the ground and covered her ears, trying to block the awful sound. There was no getting around the memory as it flashed into her head, showing her what she had heard all those years ago when her mother called. She told them to run, to leave and not come back for her. And then the gun went off and the line went dead. She couldn’t handle that again. The bullets from the agents pounded into the ice shield but Agent Flynn’s bullets were hitting people and they were dropping. As each agent fell, Antoinette’s head got a little lighter.
Through the sound of battle, she heard Agent Flynn question her. Annie looked up, tears in her eyes as she tried to push past the fear that was threatening to swallow her whole.
”I’m….I’m not sure,” she stammered. ”I’ve never used my powers in a fight. I can cast illusions, but not very well and not on many people,” Annie managed to get out. Each time a gun went off she would flinch and have to start over again in her sentence. Annie hadn’t used her powers much at all. Only with her father, when he said it was okay, when they were trying to train but anytime they had to leave, to run. That’s what she did. Ran and never looked back.

@KazAlkemi"Alright, just stay by me, alright there?" Sapphire said, as she continued making a wall of ice around them, but a bullet managed to make its way through and hit her in the shoulder. She didn't even seem to notice the pain, and just kept the wall up as Flynn grabbed Annie's arm and led her to the staircase down, opening the door and dragging her inside. Sapphire managed to get away from the other OMEN agents as she sent blasts of cold at them, reaching the staircase and slamming the door shut, before she froze the lock. "That should keep them from following us for a while... Let's get going and find others..." she said, heading down the stairs.

"Oh how little you know," he said simply in response, before he started causing the doors to get barricaded with a wave of his hand. However, he only managed to get all but two of the doors to be completely sealed, before he could get to the last ones, the doors opened and 14 people came out of the two rooms. Instantly seeing the group, they drew their guns on them, firing. They managed to get quite a few shots off, and Magneto was able to deflect most of them, but Mira ended up stumbling backwards, getting a bullet in the arm.

She looked at the agents, before she let out a shriek, knocking 3 of them off their feet and slamming into the wall. Mira knew that it wasn't much, but it was all she could do. Her throat was still sore from earlier, so she couldn't scream quite as powerfully as before. It was going to be difficult to do much of anything to help out, at least if it involves her powers. She did have her limits, and she knew them pretty well. She just hoped that it wouldn't cause too many problems in the long run.

The remaining agents who Allison had disarmed raised their arms in surrender. They knew that they were beat, defenseless and unarmed was not the best odds for them, so they didn't try anything to attack them. It was a good thing in his mind, meant that OMEN's agents didn't seem to be trained to kill themselves if they were caught or something, like others he's heard of. It made things a bit easier for them in the long run, especially if they needed information or something.

This whole situation didn't stop Lance from being a little bit panicked about the entire situation to begin with. He didn't even notice his own powers return, as he was immune to the bright light that he could create, his hands were starting to glow slightly. Pietro's powers were still down for the count, meaning he was still feeling like he was going slower than a snail or something.

"So... What should we do with these guys? Since, you know, the others are dead..." Lance asked, glancing over at the agents that were there, but a thought crossed his mind. "...We could put them in those cells like we kind of did with the other ones..."

Mary was not sure how things were going to go with the others, but she was determined to have them get to the lower levels, no matter what. "Come on, let's get going!" she said, before she took off running towards the door. Wanda followed behind her closely, and she only hoped that Sara would follow behind them as well. Mary was a little impressed by what Sara was doing with her powers, not sure what else to do. Once the three of them were in the stairwell, she looked over at the speedster, "Come on Pietro, let's go!"

What happened next was not what she had expected to happen. And it was something she wished hadn't happened. Something that she had wished would never happen again.

There was the loud sound of gunshots being fired off as the speedster raced over to them, slamming the door shut behind them. But something was definitely off. His shirt was starting to turn red, and he looked over at the three of them, his eyes looking a bit dazed, and a little confused. "You didn't see that coming?" he said softly, before he collapsed to the ground.



Her eyes grew wide as she just realized what had happened, and now she knew one thing for certain. She never thought she'd actually care too much for Pietro ever, but this guy had just gone to great lengths to protect them, and to change history. Now, Mary was more determined than ever to stop OMEN and make sure that they didn't win.

Wanda was just staring at his body, remembering that Mary had said he was Pietro from the future. She said nothing, just staring at him, ignoring the sounds of everyone outside of the door.
