She watched Jack's hand morph with slightly improper interest. The thought soon passed as the door opened and there, at the center of the room was the crown.

This was going so well!
Too well...

"Y'all was right 'bout deh cen'tral location." She joked lightly to Jack. Her nerves were feeling a bit fried. Nothing attacking them. The crown right fucking there. It all seemed so very wrong. Were they in some kind of illusion? She gasped when Casper marched right up to the crown, picked it up, and plopped it on his head with negative side effects. She let out a puff of laughter as she approached the crown. "Don' seem tah like y'all much, cher," she looked over her shoulder at him with a playful grin.

Bobbi had no desire for the crown to be doing any weird stuff to her so she figured, perhaps if she didn't touch it directly with her skin she would be safe. She reached her hand into the void, soft white light surrounding the part of her arm they could see. Her fingers searched for a pair of gloves and finally caught onto silky cloth. She pulled white, satin opera gloves through to her. They were decorated with pearls along the outer seam of the arm. "Ils sont si beaux!" she exclaimed. She pulled the gloves onto her hands, which contrasted with the darker colored thief suit she wore. It was then she picked up the crown.

Unfortunately, the gloves did not keep her safe from the crown. A jolt ran through her hands and she dropped the crown with a gasp. She turned her eyes on Casper, about to joke that it didn't like her either when a flood of memories - dark, disturbing things rushed through her. Bobbi shivered, her knees giving out on her as she fell to the floor gasping. All of it coming back. She wished it hadn't. What was going on? She put her gloved hands to her head, fingers tangling into her wild hair, as she let out a choked sob. She didn't want to remember any of this!

Carolina hugged Annie tightly knowing what her best friend had told her as well growing up, she was glad that she was able to remember the real world now. "C'mon lets go.." Carolina said as she stood up and looked over towards October and hugged her as tightly as she could. "October, I should have told you yesterday what had happened. This world isn't really real at all, you and I were dating and met at a school called The Alucard Institute. Where we found out my sister was a SHIELD agent, we ended up dating and we were going to a place called Coventry where two OMEN agents found us, you didn't make it.." Carolina said softly.

She had always blamed herself for October dying and she felt helpless as well trying to save her. "I kind of attacked Scarlet Witch, we need to go now before things calm down." Carolina said as she held onto both October's hand and Annie and tried to make it out of the battleground, seeing Lorna up in the sky as well which made things even worse now as well. And continued to make her way out of the area.

Cassandra turned her attention towards Sapphire, seeing that she had finally gotten back her memories after knocking her out. "Sorry for hitting you, you were going to pretty much ice everyone.." Cass said as she looked up at the sky seeing both Lorna and Alex there in the sky. "But yeah, I worked with the X-Men as my previous assignment. Your lover here is on my current SHIELD team in the real world." Cassandra said towards Sapphire and looked over at Flynn, Hawkeye signaled for the retreat as one by one everyone on the assault team were teleported away.

She looked at Sapphire and Flynn, and then over to where her sister and her friends were and pointed towards them. "Please make sure that they are safe, and out of here." Cassandra said before being teleported away, and found herself now back inside of the Human Resistance HQ, leaning back slightly as she rubbed her eyes a little bit and stared at everyone else who was there now.

---

Maria felt Novikova grabbing her hand and quickly followed her over towards the van, just as Lorna and Alex came down from the sky, they were now outnumbered which was bad now as well. "Yeah we crashed the party for to long now.." Maria said as soon as they got into the van, sitting in the front seat. Looking over at Novikova and held her hand tightly looking down at her leg for a moment biting her bottom lip seeing it still bleeding. "We should get that checked out as soon as possible." Maria said to her.

Then the next thing she knew they were now in the Human Resistance HQ again, looking around Maria started to relax now they managed to do what they achieved. "Lets just hope that the others make it out with no problems." Maria said as she looked over towards Cassandra for a moment wondering if she was okay or not.

Inside the Palace

Jade raised an eyebrow. "Okay, you guys are clearly freaked out by this cat. What did the cat do - claw out your eye?" she scoffed, shaking her head a bit again.

Goose just sort of tilted his head at the people who were just sitting there blabbing away. They did not seem to be good hoomans to him, or at least particularly useful ones. They were just sitting there sort of talking, and one of them almost was mocking him! With Jade's last words, Goose sort of took a few steps and let out a loud hiss, before opening his mouth and tentacles shot out of it! One of the tentacles smacked Jade across the face, sending her flying somewhat off to the side, while another one hit Tinley, knocking her down as well.

Jade got back up to her feet, rubbing her face. "Okay, I killed the devil so cat, you do that again and you'll be eating fish with Lucifer - got it?"

"Mrow," was the only response she got from the cat.

Outside the Palace

Polaris walked over to her father's form and used her powers, lifting Magneto up into the air. "Clean up the mess, would you Pietro?" she asked him coldly, before drifting over the rubble and into the Palace. Havok smirked at Pietro for a moment, before jogging after Lorna to keep up with her. With the Human Resistance gone, Polaris and Havok didn't seem to be paying much attention to Carolina, Annie, and October.

October tilted her head slightly at Carolina, before she smiled slightly and gave her wife a kiss. "Oh my love, I am so sorry I had to leave you... But this will not be the last you see of me. Any time you look into the flames of a fire, you'll feel me there," she promised, giving Carolina another kiss. "To the well organized mind, death is nothing more than the next great adventure. We'll be reunited in the afterlife, I know it."

"...Oh... Well, Ally, I love you, okay? And if I'm dead in the real world, then that's okay... You said I died doing a job or mission or something, then that means I died helping people, and that's okay... It'll be alright, I love you Ally, and I always will," he said, giving her a smile, before he gave her a kiss before they wandered over towards Wanda.

Over with the twins as well as Allison, Oshea and Guin, Wanda just sort of rolled her eyes. "Oh please, give me one good reason why? I mean, you all weren't exactly doing too much to actually be somewhat helpful during this sort of chaos were you?" she said simply towards them. "I also do not know what you would wish to discuss aside from the fact that a lot of people just tried to kill me all at once and sort of failed at it."

"...That was a bit more then a little annoying if you ask me," Pietro grumbled, it was obvious that he was purposefully not looking over at Guin at the moment. It seemed like he was likely still mad at her about everything from before.

"Well, if we do talk about something, whatever it is, might I suggest we do so inside where it is warmer? This is the middle of winter you know."

The Human Resistance HQ

Lance had effectively jumped down and walked over to where Runa was once they reached the headquarters once more. Hearing James' words, he thought he might ask him, since it sounded like the guy was on their side now. "Hey, mind seeing if you can help Runa out?" he asked him, not really sure if he'd be willing considering the fact that James and Runa hadn't exactly gotten along too well.

Banner had slowly melted back down into an average sized man, clutching the purple shorts that seemed more like a tent on him as he tried to maintain some decency. "Uh, does anyone have a spare thing of clothes?" he asked, looking a bit timid - but also resigned. This wasn't the first time he had to ask if someone had some clothing for him to borrow. At least he wasn't in the nude this time - the massive pair of purple shorts was better than nothing.

Hawkeye chuckled slightly. "Yeah, we do." He reached into a supply bin and threw Banner a t-shirt and jeans. The t-shirt had an image of King Erik on it, with the letters King Erik's Annual Jubilee ~ July 2016 in big, cursive red letters. Hawkeye then took an inventory of everyone who had been transported back to base and he whistled loudly in order to get their attention. "We're still outmatched with Magneto's forces. I want us to go into recruitment - let's find every Avenger, X-Men, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Fantastic Four member we haven't gotten here yet and restore their memories. We're stronger together, so let's get the strength to kick Magneto's ass and restore our planet. Science nerds - any theories on how to set things back?"

Having slipped into the provided clothing, Banner thought about it for a moment. "Uh well to fix it, we need to figure out how it happened in the first place. If we can contact human friendly labs, maybe we can get to use their instruments, set up a tracking pattern and find out where this originated from...."

Barton shook his head. "It's got to be Magneto. We've already got a team looking through the Palace right now for clues - hopefully, when they're back, we'll know who they did this. I need the science nerds to reverse engineer a fix."

"So, essentially we are back at square one then, with no idea who is responsible aside from the fact that it is someone linked to Magneto. Let's face it, he doesn't have the strength to pull something like that off. He's smart enough to use whatever power it is, but he can't do it himself."

"...Actually, for all we know Magneto might not have any idea that this happened, he honestly in the real world might be as clueless as we are..." Sapphire commented, she had been transported to the HQ as well. "I mean think about it, I mean yes, he's the king of the world blah blah blah, but then why the hell is Quicksilver back with him? Since last I checked, the two of them hate each other, so why would Magneto want to keep him nearby. Or why the hell is Freddie Flynn, who might I point out is a SHIELD agent and their last encounter was when he was still working for OMEN, related to him. That makes no damn sense."

"...There is one person who might want to do that actually, or bring their family back together and give Magneto what he wanted... I think that he might be right," Lance said, nodding towards Max.

"...Well looks like Max had his good idea for the year, since I guess Wanda Maximoff would be the best bet..."

"Wanda Maximoff...." Hawkeye mused. "It's not too bad a theory. Agent Bautista, you remember the aborted Ultron timeline - would you say that the Scarlet Witch would do something like this.... make everyone happy and try to reunite her family?"

"Would you two stop messing around with that thing we've got to get out of here, and no I don't know why it keeps zapping the two of you," Jack responded, rolling his eyes slightly at the pair before he picked up the crown himself, this time it didn't zap him, however there was a somewhat yellow flash of light that occurred, and he looked around slightly confused for a moment, before looking at his brother.

"Uh, Casper? What's going on here?" he asked, and it was a bit obvious that Jack now knew about the real world, just about anyone would be able to tell that. "Why are we a part of the Thieves Guild, what the hell happened to the world, and holy crap is that gem what I think it is?" when he said this last part of the sentence, he looked at the yellow gem in the crown (which he was still holding on to)

"I honestly did not expect that to happen at all, but I guess we need to just roll with it," she said, making their way along the corridor once more. Seems like all of the luck that Jack, Bobbi and Casper had might have had something to do with the fact that it seemed like every guard was on their end of the compound. That certainly wasn't a good thing as 7 more SHIELD agents quickly came into view.

Thinking for a moment, she smirked slightly as she tossed plant seeds out of her pocket and they headed straight for the agents feet. Seems like in this reality SHIELD agents were oblivious to just about everything, as they didn't even seem to noticing the plant life wrapping around their ankles. With a flick of her wrist the vines snapped their weapons away from the group, and before they were able to grab them. She walked into view and waved her hands again as the plants essentially strangled the group in order to knock them out at the least, and soon, the group was down on the ground unconscious. "I wonder if the others are having as good of luck as we are," she said a bit sarcastically.

Had her future sister in law not been an expert in chaos magic, she might not have believed what happened. As suddenly as the Human Resistance appeared, they all vanished. Only the legitimate invited guests of King Erik and his family remained behind, but there was a fair deal of destruction surrounding them. Part of the castle wall had fallen into ruin, Erik was unconscious and being carried off by Princess Lorna, and then there was the fact that her fiancé, the person who was supposed to be with her for better and for worse, wouldn't even look at her. Her engagement ring felt incredibly heavy on her finger. And as Allison and Oshea embraced each other, without Oshea threatening to throw her inside of a closet or saying that she couldn't be out here... Guin couldn't help but envy them, even though Oshea would die if they changed things back to how they had been. She wanted a relationship like that.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let someone who won't even look at me stop me," Guin confided to her friend telepathically. She deserved better than being treated like this. Maybe things were better between them in the other world, but she didn't remember that place. All Guin knew was that for the first time in a long time, she actually felt in control of her own life. It hurt like hell - she loved him so deeply - yet he couldn't even look at her. He had blocked her out rather than resolve a fight.

Holding Allison's hand, she felt a little stronger too. Pietro should have been the one who was holding her hand and being there for her, but he wasn't. Allison was. Wanda was being dismissive as ever, though Guin's intuition told her that she knew exactly why they needed to talk to her. "Wanda. It's about what you did," Guin said calmly, even though her insides felt a bit like they were dying. "You changed the world. I don't know why you did it, so now is the time for you to come clean and tell your side of the story - and if you don't, then I swear to god, I won't side with you on this. Only villains have a reason to lie and I think you're better than that, I think you're a hero, so talk damn it - get your monologue on! We're doing this here and now."

---

The ex-Asgardian was still unconscious from Guin's psychic attacks and bleeding from the damage done to her by the twins, Prince Pietro and Princess Wanda. Had she still been of Asgard, that amount of damage likely would have been easily recoverable from and she would have already been up and on her feet, ready to plot the next line of attack. Instead, she was just crumpled like a limp rag doll, unaware of the conversations taking place around her.

Unlike those who remembered the aborted Age of Ultron timeline, Novikova was not an expert when it came to suddenly being sent to another location via magic. She was dizzy for a moment, stumbling forward before she could get her bearings again. They were back in the Human Resistance HQ and she glanced around the room, trying to see if everyone had gotten transported back safely as well. The main issue was there were so many people that had gone as part of the mission, most of them that she didn't even know, so she wasn't sure if they had gotten everyone back. "Is this everyone - even the stealth team?" Novikova asked, before she looked at Max.

"If the stealth team isn't here, you should go back and get them - they could use a quick escape like this," she advised. It sounded like Barton wanted them to focus on getting ready to prepare countermeasures for a reality warp, but they needed the stealth team's confirmation that it really was Princess Wanda who changed the world. The Scarlet Witch definitely had the power set for it and it made sense - her brother had gone off to join the X-Men, leaving her behind with the Brotherhood. Anyone would be angry about that and wish for a world where their family was back together again. Novikova's main concern was that even if they confronted Wanda about it, what was going to prevent her from doing something like this again?

"Yeah, we should," she agreed with Maria softly. James was offering healing to anyone who needed it. "Mind looking at this leg?" she asked him, gesturing towards the bloody wound.

"Assez beaux," Casper corrected, having a similar expression to the one his father wore when correcting his students on matters of grammar. Ben noticed it, but since telling Casper that he resembled Professor X in any shape or form was only going to cause his friend to spiral down into some form of self destructive behavior. He had spent about half of his life as a ghost nanny to Casper and he had tons of experience when it came to managing the ever changing moods of Casper Xavier Theriot.

"Uh, what the hell?" Ben exclaimed, his eyes wide as Bobbi dropped like a fly.

"I mean it's an Infinity Stone she just touched..." Casper speculated, bending down to try to help Bobbi up to her feet. There was a flash of light in the room and Casper shut his eyes for a moment, only to notice that seemingly his brother had had his memories restored. Had that been what happened to Bobbi? Was her real life so painful? Casper bit his lip. He liked her - he really hoped that there was nothing but happiness waiting for her on the other side.

"Jackie, Jackie, Jackie!" Casper said hurriedly, before he realized he didn't know what to say. "We need to keep this away from the Thieves Guild. I don't know why we're here, I have to assume you kidnapped a child and they blackmailed you into joining - that or you slept with the boss' wife and you have to work off your debt to him so he doesn't kill you..."

Conjuration, Magic.New Outfit

---

No one was more surprised than Max that his mass teleportation had actually gone off without a hitch. His magic had the tendency to be sporadic or choatic at times and he was greatly hoping that that wasn’t going to be one of those times. He looked about the room and saw that all had made it safetly to the headquarters with the exception of those he hadn’t wished to bring. A bittersweet smile threatened to dance across his lips as Sapphire actually complimented him, sure it wasn’t for the expedient escape, but at least someone was finally listening to what he had been saying since that party at the castle. Hawkeye began listing the names of groups that could help rally to the cause against Magneto and more importantly Wanda. He took note of a few of them as he heard everyone’s opinions and thoughts shoot off one by one, one of which being Novikova asking about the stealth teams location. ”The stealth team is still at the castle, I didn’t want to jeopardize their mission in the search for information. Klara should also still be with them should they need a portal out. She does have that Sling thing right? Now if you’ll excuse me.”

Max sat down on the floor, criss cross as his eyes closed and his hands sat in a meditative position on his knees. He focused on groups at large, not searching for any one person in particular as this world seemed to be some mockery of the real one. His mind drifted and wandered as he found pings across the states. First came the Avengers with a reminder of the God of Thunders death, An image of Cap as an old war Veteran, Black Widow didn’t show up which was a mystery in itself, and Tony stark was at none other than Stark Tower. His drifted further and began to search for the Fantastic Four, finding that all were located in New York with Sue and Reed married, and Johnny and Ben living close by. It would be a shame to ruin such happiness...but its what must be done. Finally the heftiest of the groups were located. Cyclops, Emma, Jean, and Wolverine were all in the city, one of which was already with them. Beast was not too far off at Harvard, a few were located at the Palace, which made sense, and finally quite a few were found in Louisiana. Namely, Gambit, Rogue, Jack, and surprisingly enough Casper was picked up as well. There were more there but his mind was at awe of the fact that Casper could be an X-men.
”Ive located a bulk of the groups you listed. The Avengers are all but useless save for Tony Stark, the Fantastic Four are living happy lives within this very city, The X-men are spread across here, Boston, and Louisiana where we can find two mutants i personally know, Jack and Casper.”

Max sat there for a few moments longer, catching his breath and attempting to relax for as long as he could before needing to get back out into the fight. He closed his eyes and exhaled slowly, head tilted back as he thought about the details of what exactly he had seen. Chills ran through his spine as he recalled Cyclops was married to Emma Frost in this reality, attempting to use the fact that none of this world was real to make sense of why she would be an X-men and why he would be married to a woman who not too long ago attempted to kill him in the other reality. Perhaps she was changed here, or maybe Cyclops was, regardless of the past he needed to speak to someone who might understand the situation better. Another long exhalation as he pressed his hands against his knees and got himself back up and towards Wolverine, speaking softly so that only he could hear. ”So...one of the X-men I found was Cyclops, he’s married to another X-men...Emma Frost. Needless to say I’m apprehensive about awakening their memories even if it is for this fight but... I wanted your input, why this may have happened and if we could trust either of them in this fight?”

“Yep, lets see what we can do.” James told Lance as he knelt down and gently place his hand over a wound, repeating his earlier healing with just a bit of effort. He watched the wounds close themselves as he focused and let go once he was satisfied with his efforts. He looked up at Novikova and reached out with a “Pardon my touch.Just be a moment.” as he placed his hand on her leg, an eerily familiar sensation as his own vitals aligned with hers. This entire situation with two sets of memories swirling in his head left him a little disoriented, the easy familiarity with which he healed this woman. Someone from his life here but not his real life. It was giving him a headache.

“Done and done. You’re all set.” James stood up, wincing at the slight pop from his knees. Too bad that wasn’t something he could heal. Joints popping always grossed him out. “So, uh I owe you all an apology for being a total ass in this world apparently. So, I’m sorry. I’m not normally like that.” He apologized, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably, to his Red Guard coworkers and Lance. He would have continued but suddenly Max was listing off names and Casper’s dropped like a bomb when he was mentioned in the same breath as the X-men. James whipped around to stare incredulously at the man. “Uh, Max. While I 100% appreciate that your powers don’t burn down buildings―you still owe me that heat shrink wrap by the way. I will demand those across every reality we meet―are you sure you pinged them? Jack I could totally understand with the x-men. Poor dude gets wrapped up in more shit helping people than I could imagine but Casper? One of the last conversation we had was about how he hated his dad and wanted nothing to do with him or his pawn organizations.”

Niah winced and ducked when Goose's tentacles wiped out and flung Jade around. He also hit Tinley which frustrated Niah. It meant that Goose didn't remember for certain. She sighed and straightened herself. "Do you want pets Goose?" She had spent many a day curled up reading with Goose, but would he even remember that if he had remembered the real world? That was from a time that didn't exist anymore and Niah couldn't remember who had gone with her back in time to fix everything. It was frustratingly still jumbled.

To Digby, she did say, "Yeah he was sort of part of our team. He was Fury's cat." There was more to that, even after Fury had 'retired' Goose had stayed with them. That she remembered. "Goose do you remember Fury? Or Captain Marvel? Carol Danvers." Maybe he'd remember. If Goose let her she'd pet him, and possibly put him on her shoulder like he had ridden dozens of times before. Niah was surprised when Goose slowly pressed up against her hand and even let her pick him up. She let out a small sigh of relief and scratched under his chin. She had no idea if it was her words that had convinced him and awoken his memories, or if he just really liked scratches. "I only sort of know the turtle, Mr. Dibbles. I met him once when Wanda brought him..." She trailed off. More things that technically hadn't happened. "We should keep moving."

---

---

Allison felt her heart flutter with Oshea's words. If she could bring him with her, she would in a heartbeat, but she knew this would likely be the last time she saw him. She also knew Guin was probably reeling hard from Pietro not helping her. The old Guin would not have stood for it and it was nice to see that Guin slowly coming back. She had her back, and vice versa as they came at Wanda.

Granted, Allison probably would not have spoken out loud their idea, but it was late now. "You are one of the only people that could do it and gain from it. Your father being the king, you and your brother royalty, and humans paying the price for years of hatred and violence. Even I can see the reasoning behind it, but this is not how it should be. The other world, as hard as it was, was still reality. Still home. We did good work. Saved the world time and again. And we did it even though humans don't 100% accept us. So, why now?"

---

---

Tinley knew it was only a matter of time, but Goose had made his choice clear when he flipped Jade and herself around. She stood up and dusted herself off. If she didn't already know the damn cat could rip her a new one, she'd punt the stupid thing as far as she could. She ignored Digby (the bitch didn't deserve her attention, on their side or not). "Yeah, he doesn't recognize me. Wasn't too big a fan of him anyway, but whatever. We need to keep moving."

The way was clear now so she proceeded inside. She waited for Jade, who was supposed to be leading them and finding out whatever it was she needed. Tinley would keep an eye out for further security measures inside. She didn't hear the sounds of battle anywhere and she wondered how the assault team was handling their end of the mission. Hopefully, they were all ok and they could all be extracted without issue. But hopefully, they didn't run into any other thing, animal or not, from their past.

---

---

Ana merely shrugged. She wasn't concerned about offing some idiot security guards. Their lives were meaningless anyway. She probably did them a favor. As she followed Mary, more soldiers came into view. She wouldn't be surprised if the other team triggered some silent alarm and now guards were running around everywhere. Before she could muster another takeover, Mary had decided to take matters in her own hands. She sprinkled seeds out and grew them around the agents, incapacitating them and knocking them out swiftly and easily.

"Not bad at all. I am genuinely impressed. Let's press on then." She didn't care about the other team. She wanted to be the one to find the crown first. If it was as powerful as described, then it needed to be in her hands. After all, what was a princess without her crown? She kept going forward, now more alert to further guards coming around to muck up their theft. With their powers though, it would be quick work to dispatch them all.

Antoinette stood, albit shakily but she stood all the same. For the most part the gunfire had calmed down and a bunch of people seemingly disappeared. Was this the end of the world? Were they starting to go back to their other reality? Antoinette clung to Carolina and nodded slowly. Yes they should leave. ”Wait, you attacked the Princess? Lina why!” Antoinette looked over to wear Princess Wanda was. She was surrounded by her brother, her future sister-in-law and a couple others Antoinette couldn’t quite make out. But as she looked at Wanda she realized that yes it was Princess Wanda but in this reality. In the other she was the Scarlet Witch. And although not necessarily bad, she was extremely powerful with the ability to do great harm.
”Are you certain we should leave? Where are we even going to go?” They didn’t have a way home and they didn’t even have a way of going and looking for the others, although most of their group seemed to be right here. Her blue eye flared slightly as she looked around them in an attempt to pick up on anything that may be of use. That may aid in telling them if they should stay or if they should truly go. In the meantime Antoinette stayed close to Carolina and tried not to look around her too much. There were a lot of bodies strewn about and she was still shaky with her PTSD flaring.

Karma, nay, her faith in her collegues rewarded Michelle; of course they wouldn't be distracted by a kitty-kat in the hallway unless it was of importance. Michelle narrowly avoided being spanked by the mutant cat, and by avoided she meant she barely had time to flinch before the horror slung its limbs in a humiliating demonstration of his strength and agility. Goose was not to be messed with, at all, and counted her lucky stars she hadn't stuck up her teammates, someone might have over reacted.

"Mrow. Well said." Michelle thought.

Cornish threatened the cat with a one way trip and Michelle struggled to keep her own composure, she didn't know much about the human or the cat but her money was on the tentacles. Michelle remained professional only due to the knowledge it would be her turn later, and she'd likely not such a polite way to put it. Niah seemed to have tamed the beast with petting and grooming but this alone was not enough to reassure her sufficently to try petting him herself for the time being. Michelle wondered how she would ingratiate herself with the fluffy eldrich god. Food? Toys? A Blood Oath? For the time being Niah had him under control, or vica versa, and it seemed to be keeping him calm.

Michelle was content smugly keeping her trap shut until Wanda was mentioned, her royalist interests aroused, "Princess Wanda? Here? Or real Wanda? What were you upto?"

Carolina looked into October's eyes and smiled softly trying not to cry, she had been the happiest in a long time even if this reality was incredibly fake and made up. She gave October another loving kiss while holding her hand a little bit longer not wanting to let go, she would make the most of their time here and now anyway. Carolina knew that this all wasn't real and it could have long lasting damage to the others as well. "We will make the most of what time we have together then.." Carolina said softly and looked into October's eyes a bit more.

Turning her attention to her best friend Annie and hugged her as well while looking over at the others for a moment biting her bottom lip before turning her attention back to her friend. "I figured if I possessed her I could get some answers from her maybe and find out if she did change reality or no." Carolina answered since Wanda probably wouldn't have told them anything or just completely lied to them all as well.

Cassandra walked over and found herself a spot to sit on while looking over at everyone who wasn't there and she started to worry about her sister, she saw her briefly but couldn't get to her quick enough either. She looked over towards Hawkeye when he asked Niah about the aborted Ultron Timeline, though she wasn't here and on the stealth team right now. "We would have to wait until Niah gets back, I know just as much as you from the briefings but nothing specific." Cass said looking over towards Novikova knowing that she probably hard the harshest punishment. Cassandra started to think a little bit Scarlet Witch had the power to change it, but on a global scale would need help of some kind. "The Scarlet Witch has the powerset to change reality, but on a global scale or even bigger she'd need some kind of help."

Cass was onboard with recruiting as much as possible from the other active super hero teams out there even if they wanted to be approached or not. "If we approach anyone we have to do it carefully as well." Cass said looking over at James for a moment, and gently gestured towards him. "Some maybe like James if they don't remember the real timeline." Cass said before getting up and making her way towards Max. "If you can, try and get my sister and her friends back here to if you are going out and recruiting, she was at the palace."

Maria looked towards James a little bit longer while he went to go and heal Novikova, she still wasn't really sure if she liked the guy or not. She turned to look at the others who were there and ran a hand through her hair as she thought what else they should be doing while gently holding Novikova's hand. They would certainly need help recruiting just about anyone to try and fix things as well, she wanted to help out with the recruiting.

"Seeing as everyone we are trying to recruit are either in different parts of the city, or different parts of the country we should split up and try and convince everyone that way we can cover as much ground as possible with the recruitment." Maria suggested as she leaned herself back. "And we should get the stealth team back as soon as possible as well."

As Casper's shadow came over her she shrank back from him. His closeness caused her to lash out. "Keep your fucking hands off of me," she screeched. And then she paused, looking up at him with tear-filled eyes as he went to talk to his brother. The two different sets of memories rolling around in her brain, competing with each other were giving her one hell of a headache. She rubbed her temples as she stood and approached the brothers.

She knew neither of these men. Not really. She had memories of them but none of them were real, were they? She scooped up her hammer and hefted it over her shoulder as she came to a stop near them. Her green eyes were glued to the crown. "We've got a job to finish. May as well finish it." Her accent had changed, sounding much more midwestern than the Cajun she had been speaking with previously.

Inside the Palace
Jade kept on venturing through the Palace, stopping once they reached Princess Wanda's room. She glanced around for a moment, before she gently opened the door. "Okay, fan out. Find anything you can that's noteworthy in here, and then we're going to get the hell out of dodge before we get made. Understood?"

Goose just sort of looked at Niah, before shooting a glare of sorts at Tinley and Jade. It was fairly clear that the cat didn't care much for the pair of them. However, he started pawing at Niah's face, and it was something similar to what he did in the real world when either he wanted attention or... He was hungry. "Mrooooooooooooooow," he complained, making a bit of a face that was definitely saying Feed me!

Outside the Palace
Flynn had wandered away from his siblings for the most part, and went over to where October, Carolina and Annie were. "Do not fret, darling," October told Annie soothingly. "This is how heroines are made - and I see one inside of you, if you would allow yourself to shine. And take comfort in the fact that we are not on the side of royalty... They so rarely win revolutions."

"As for where you should go, I'd say probably anywhere but here right now... If Wanda knows that you tried to take control of her then sticking around here definitely isn't safe... You three probably need to get out of here." Flynn added, looking at the three of them. "I honestly don't really know what's going on, but a lot of people have told me the same thing so I'm just going to go with it."

Annie would get a feeling, a very strong one from her intuition, that something bad was about to happen. However, it wasn't something bad that was going to happen to them, but more of to the other group of people who were currently standing outside the Palace as well. All of the trouble she also could tell would come from one person in the group, namely Wanda Maximoff.

Wanda did not look to thrilled at the accusations against her, and Pietro wasn't entirely sure what to think of it. Yeah, he knew this world wasn't real, he trusted Guin on that, but wasn't too sure at the idea that Wanda would have caused it. However, what Guin and Allison were saying made him wonder if she did have something to do with the entire situation. "Uh Wanda, what exactly are they going on about?"

She glanced over at Pietro, and her eyes seemed to flash somewhat with a red light that the others could see. It seemed like Pietro questioning her was the last straw, and her hands started glowing as well. There was then a blast that got sent off, sending everyone around her (Oshea, Guin, Allison and Pietro) got blasted backwards by her. "I have about had it with you people!" she snapped.

Pietro managed to catch Guin before she hit the ground, Are you okay Guina? he asked her, looking her in the eye before he stood her up fully once again. Oshea hadn't been quite so quick on his feet but he did manage to use his own body to break Allison's fall so she didn't slam into the ground. "Are you okay Ally?" he asked her, giving her a slight smile.

"You all know nothing about what you are talking about!" she snapped at all of them, glaring still, her eyes were red.
"Wanda, did you actually change the world? You need to change it back!" Pietro said, and then he charged at er, trying to knock her down. He wasn't able to do much to even get close to his sister, as she put up a bit of a barrier to make it so that he more or less bounced off of it and back down to the ground.

"I will not have you turn against me again brother," she said simply, almost sounding a little bit saddened. At this point she wasn't even going to try and hide what she was doing, and Wanda sent a wave of red energy at Pietro that hit him in the head, but it was clear that it wasn't actually going to hurt him.

"Uh, Wanda? What's going on?" Pietro asked her, sounding confused.

"You were going to help me, as your fiance and her friend were attacking and threatening me."

"...Oh, okay then," he said, before standing up off the ground and walking over to her.

There was one thing that Allison would notice was off, and she'd remember something that in the real world Pietro mentioned, generally whenever people asked about how to break free of his sister's powers. He always had said that he generally never really knew how to break free, as his sister only helped him gain a somewhat resistance over minor telepaths, but that was because she never actually had ever used her powers on him to try and get him to do what she wanted him to.

The Resistance
"Honestly, most people probably weren't acting the way that they would normally have, don't worry about it... And thanks for healing Runa..." Lance said, looking over at James. Hearing what James said about Casper made Lance start to question his own relationship with his father. He shook that thought sort of out of his head, and decided to pay attention somewhat to what was going on elsewhere in the group.

Barton let out a slight sigh. There were so many people here, he hadn't realized Niah wasn't among them. She was rather small and quiet compared to most of these individuals as well which didn't help matters. He raised an eyebrow at Max's declaration that the Avengers were useless. Hulk was here with them, Thor was dead and Iron Man was still a billionaire, that much he knew. "Do you have a location on Captain America or Black Widow?" he pressed.

"Emma Frost isn't an X-Man," Banner interjected, looking confused. "And really, neither is Cyclops anymore... That generation of X-Men retired years ago."

"Are you essentially calling us old? Most of the group might have retired, but if ya need help you can almost bet on them helping out. As for Emma Frost, she's always had a bit of an obsession with shades, she was a little bit jealous of Jeannie for a while, but apparently that little obsession never truly went away. And honestly, perfectly fine if we don't go find them, feel like it would be more of a hindrance than anything."

"Yeah, well, it's time for them to stop sipping martinis on the golf range," Barton countered. "Frost can't be trusted. We'll leave her and Cyclops out of this. I want us to prioritize getting members of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, as they have more experience. Then go for any X-Men you can find that you trust."

"You mentioned a few people down in Louisiana?" Wolverine said, glancing over at Max. "Betting that's where the Swamp Rat would be, and is the last names of those two you mentioned by chance Theriot? One related to Xavier the other is his half-brother right? Their mother, met her way back in the 80s, she's from Louisiana, New Orleans actually now that I think about it, so them being down there might just be a coincidence. Or if we're lucky they'll actually be in the same place as the others down there. Not sure who all might be down there."

Banner was curious at what Cass said. "Do we know if there is an upper limit to the Scarlet Witch's power - or is that just conjecture?" he asked. If Wanda was an omega level mutant, then she could have done this entirely on her own. If she wasn't, then Cass was right - she would need help in order to pull something off.

"No offense Bobbi, even though we don't know you, we can't give this thing to the Guild, I'm with Casper on that one. How much do you know about the infinity stones? Not much I wager, but there are a few things that you should know. Even just one of the stones could be used to destroy, or take over, the entire world. The reason why this crown was able to restore our memories of the real world, even if we didn't want them, was because that yellow glowing gem in the middle of it is the mind stone." he explained to her, shaking his head slightly at her words about needing to finish the job.

Turning his head slightly, he looked back at his brother, "I actually do know how we ended up as members of the Thieves Guild in this reality. Our mother was apparently a member of the Guild and we ended up joining it... And actually no, I didn't kidnap a kid in this reality... That little girl is actually my daughter, so I'm just as confused as you, since I didn't have a kid in the real world as you very well know Casper... Anyway, that's enough talk, we've got to get out of here before someone catches us." He had a sort of bag with him that was slung over his shoulder and he put the crown in it, just in case they ran into anyone else in the Guild they wouldn't be able to see it immediately. Probably a good thing he did that, as there were footsteps coming down the hallway.

Mary smirked slightly at Ana's words, "Well, let's just hope we can find the damn crown and get out of here quickly, the longer we are here, the more likely we are to get caught or killed. By that I mean by more competent guards," she said as they walked along. After a few minutes, they'd come across a door that was partially open, and she snuck forward slightly to peer inside. Letting out a bit of a sigh of relief, she nodded her head slightly at Ana and walked inside.

"So, did you three find the crown?" Mary asked, entering the room, as they had managed to find the room where Casper, Bobbi, and Jack were.

She had been willing to hear Wanda out, to let her future sister-in-law defend her actions and explain her reasoning, but Wanda instead decided to go full on super villain. Blasted backwards by the Scarlet Witch's ruby red powers, she flailed slightly in the air, fully expecting to slam into the ground hard. Instead, her descent was abruptly halted as someone caught her. Part of her didn't believe it, even when Pietro's blue eyes were looking into her own blue-green ones, and even as he got her back onto her feet. Yeah, I'm good. And whereas Wanda's last straw had been Pietro not instantly siding with her, for Guin it was seeing Wanda control him, denying him his free will.

"Okay, Scarlet Bitch, I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt," Guin snapped, glaring at Wanda as she put a finger to her head and started working on telepathically releasing Pietro from Wanda's grasp. It took her a couple of tries, yet she managed to free him in the end. "I've about had it with your pompous, villainous ass," she added, before turning her powers on Wanda. Her goal was to knock the princess unconscious, allowing them to put some sort of power inhibiting device on her so they could get to the bottom of what happened without her attacking them, but she failed miserably. Instead, her tries only amounted to giving Wanda a major headache. Maybe that would be a good superhero name for her in this other world Allison talked about - Migraine.

"Hey, Ally, wanna give her hell?" Guin asked. You okay, babe?

Novikova raised an eyebrow. "Oh, she definitely will have a sling ring - it's not like Magneto's forces would think to search her and confiscate it from her. Nope, not at all," she said dryly, though each word was dripping with pure sarcasm. Max seemed to have located the most famous groups, but there were a lot of agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. who comprised the Secret Warriors - the codename for the squad that Barton and Abercrombie led. She didn't have a lot of confidence in these random mutants that Max proclaimed to know. At the very least, James was continuing to prove competent as he healed her leg. She really missed Tempest. The sarcastic hacker was an expert at healing, having saved their lives countless times on missions.

She shrugged off James' apology about being a complete nightmare. "It's whatever. You didn't sell us out to HYDRA, so we're square." Novikova nodded at her girlfriend's assessment - they would need to split up in order to cover more ground quickly. So far, her power set seemed to be the key in restoring people's memories and since Maria could copy that power, that meant they would end up in different groups. She didn't like it, but it was what needed to be done in order to save the world. Maybe those with the magic would be able to restore memories, that would help with the recruitment drive significantly.

"If Maria absorbs my dimensional energy perception, then she can restore memories as well. That would leave us with two teams - and it sounds like the major locations are New York and Louisiana. And since we have two people here with magic, then we can have ease of transportation for both teams," Novikova proposed.

Runa opened her eyes, seeing a forest of feet! She blinked slightly, confused as to why she was getting such an in depth look at everyone's footwear. The last thing she remembered was some spoiled brat attacking her at King Erik's palace. Propping herself up on her elbows, she looked up and frantically tried to spot her cousin, Klara, but she wasn't there. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly performed a small little spell, wanting to know where exactly Klara had gone off to. She managed to locate her within seconds - Klara was in the palace still, armed with her sword and a sling ring. She let out a sigh of relief. "Klara is fine... She has retrieved her sword and her sling ring," she said softly to Lance.

Standing back up to her feet, Runa felt a little sick. Changing the world back would mean that Lance had never met her. It would mean that she would be an Asgardian again, ostracized for the nature of her powers and the fear of what she might become. While her father was Baldur the Beautiful, beloved by practically every living creature in the Nine Realms, she was the stain upon the House of Odin. Biting her lip slightly, Runa moved to the back of the crowd, wishing that she was invisible. This life had been very nice when she woke up that fateful morning, even taking into account the events with the Red Guard.

Casper instantly backed off from Bobbi, raising his hands up in the air to show he didn't mean her any harm. Just because the world had changed didn't mean he wasn't firmly aware of the importance of consent. If she didn't want him trying to help or touching her, then he wasn't about to push it - especially not in the #MeToo era. "Désolé," he apologized instantly, before slowly lowering his hands to his side. However, he didn't agree with the last thing she said - about finishing this job. If they gave the infinity stone over to the Thieves Guild, they were just asking for another world conquest by someone somehow even worse than Magneto. "I vote we throw this thing into the bottom of the Ocean," Casper proposed. "It'll be safe for a while until it freezes and emerges as the new Captain America."

"... That is not how that works, but okay," Ben muttered, a bit exasperated with Casper - but then again, when wasn't Ben annoyed with him?

"Ben agrees with me, by the way," Casper lied. Ben tried to flick him in the eye, only for his ghostly fingers to just pass through Casper. It seemed that Ben couldn't just become a physical being at will - he needed Casper's help to do it.

"You are such a bad liar, Cassie..."

Though as Jack explained how they had come to be a part of this organization, Casper wasn't all too surprised. Their mother was a criminal for all intents and purposes, and as far as he was aware, she had never really tried to stop. In the real world, she had been a member of the Brotherhood - he guessed being a thief here wasn't too much of a stretch. "Who was the kid's mom - Leighton or Ice Queen or whatever her name was?" Casper asked, a bit curious.

"Shit," Ben cursed, as Mary and Anastasia came into the room.

Casper gave his ghost friend a somehow assuring look that plain said I've got this. "Nope, it isn't here. We think that this is where it should be, but someone might have come in here and stole it before us... Either that or they figured out we were coming and moved it."

Max’s lips twisted into a disappointed frown at the mention of Captain America and Black Widow. ”From what I could gather about The Cap is that he’s an old war veteran, not much else to gleam from it; as for Black Widow, she didn’t show up at all, a dark spot on the radar if you will. I don’t know these people intimately nor what they are in this world so my powers can only grasp the concepts of them from both realities. That’s probably why I was able to find people like Cyclops and Frost, they’ve held the title thus are considered it via my powers. The Theroit brothers may have functioned in the same sense, if they are the children of the founder of the group then they may be considered it by blood. It’s not an exact science unfortunately. In any matter, if we do want to go about splitting up to cover more ground then I have a few suggestions. One, we all need new outfits. Most of yours are tattered, old, or just gross, I can conjure you all up some if you desire just let me know. Two, I request that James and I go on the New Orleans team. We both know the brothers there and can hopefully jog their memories if need be. Now I don’t know who this Swamp Rat person is but I can at the very least attest to someone by the name of Gambit and Rogue being there. Third, and certainly not least...I need rest guys. Scarlet Witch kicked my ass from here to Asgard and broke my bones. Yeah, James healed me and I’m super greatfull dude but using this much energy can get exhausting and doing such a massive teleportation...well its taxing and I just...I need some rest.”

Max was now leaning up against a wall, clearly using it as a support. He gauged the room and listened in to a few requests as people took him up on his offer for new outfits, many of which weren’t just simple costume changes. He closed his eyes for a brief respite, catching his breath and attempting to work past the exhaustion that plagued his body. Once all were done asking for their changes, he opened up his eyes, stood off the wall and slowly raised his arms. Swirls of energy would surround each member that had agreed and their outfits would change to fit their criteria, all they need do is let him know. The last to change was Max, brandishing a new suit that he thought would fit right in with the New Orleans fashion and feel, while still maintaining his sense of self, a cane was created along with it as part of his look, brandishing a pink jewel atop it that resembled a chaos emerald. ”I hope you’re all satisified with the results. It’s been quite some time since i’ve been allowed to make outfits en masse...though its usually just for fashion.” Full glad was Max that they were going to ignore Frost and Cyclops, not wanting to risk another fight with her, nor wanting to be around the destructive power of another Summers, especially if he was as much of a dick as his brother Havock.

Antoinette got an intense feeling of something terrible about to happen. She stepped closer to Carolina and October as this feeling grew. She looked over at the other group on the palace grounds. The intense feeling was coming from them and one person in particular. Wanda was about to do something terrible. She looked away when October started talking to her. Even though October knew she wasn’t around anymore in their reality she was still helping and encouraging them. She was helping and encouraging Antoinette now in particular. She reached out her hand and grasped October’s. ”I may not know you in the other reality but I have gotten to know you in this and it has been wonderful to have your friendship. Thank you.” The encouragement and belief from a sort of stranger was a release for Antoinette and she felt herself settle into the girl she knew from the other reality. Sure, there was now the problem with slipping into panic every time a gun went off but for the time being, it seemed guns would not fire and her inner strength returned.
Flynn walked over to the group and answered Antoinette’s next question. She nodded in agreement with him, looking back to Wanda and that group. ”Yes, Wanda is about to do something that will cause great harm. But now, should we stay and help or should we leave.” Antoinette was still watching the group when Wanda’s hands started to glow and she fired energy off at the group and then yelled and did the same to her true brother Pietro. Antoinette watched in curiosity as Pietro changed positions and went to stand by her side. Wanda was still controlling peoples’ realities it seemed. She looked back at her companions. They were in the clear for the time being but what of the others? They were their friends too and if they died here, they would be dead back home too. ”Flynn, do you know how Wanda was able to warp an entire reality?” It was clearly power but would killing Wanda reverse it or would they still be stuck? Was there a different mechanism Wanda worked with in order for her power to work so well and effectively?

“If we can retrieve Klara in tandem with your stealth team, we’ll have three.” James ignored Max’s request, focusing wholeheartedly on the issue at hand. He sympathized with Max’s exhaustion but time was of the essence. Now that he knew this reality was a fraud, or at the very least somewhere he didn’t care for, he had very little issue dedicating himself to the task. If this had been home, James would have been asking a billion questions and probably still struggled to understand everything since there was just so much. But here, James was a Red Guard and he knew his training well. “And then we should use mixed methods. If Princess Wanda is the reason this entire situation exists, I imagine it would be relatively easy for her to track us so we’ll need to confuse her. If we fracture her attention and those of her allies, we have a higher chance of success.

“I can provide a list of some less known S.H.I.E.L.D. locations if you’d like. If we can follow up this attack on the Palace with concurrent assaults on sensitive locations, we might be able to keep them on the defensive long enough for the teams to find their targets, restore their memories, and return with little interference.” James offered. They wouldn’t even have to do much to make it look like that was the plan. S.H.I.E.L.D would be too distracted covering its operations to hunt them down for a few weeks at the very least. “It wouldn’t take much. A homemade explosive in a car driven into the staging location and since disruption is the goal, we can reduce casualties with a relatively low impact bomb placed during the quieter hours. Feed the press some anonymous information about the explosions being risky experiments sanctioned by the crown and you could elevate it to a political shit storm if put properly. I know its a lot of moving pieces but considering you just kicked the hornets nest, I doubt motivation is what you lack. It would barely take a few hours to plan but most of the fine tuning would have to be on the ground based on what they’ve changed since the first wave of Red Guard deserters.”

Was Allison ready to kick butt? Damn right she was. She saw Wanda for how she truly was now. "You bet." Guin had seen to Pietro, thankfully, that left Wanda with her. "You know something, princess. I see you now. I see why you did it. I wanted to believe that you had some reason for it, something I could see and believe. A better life for mutants after years of hardships. A better life for your family and to help your father. But no. It's some jealous, spoiled brat who didn't want to share her toys any longer. You hated seeing your brother with the X-men so you changed the entire world so he would be with you. And in the end, you tried to control him against his will to further your ideals. Well no more, princess. It ends here."

Allison charged forward, after giving Oshea a quick hand squeeze for helping her. She unleashed her telekinesis, picking up Wanda and slamming her to the ground not once, but twice. She was bloodied, bruised, but still conscious. She sped over to her, getting on top of her. "This is for changing reality. This is for bringing us all here because of your spoiled demands. And this is for bringing Oshea back only for me to lose him again, you bitch!" She knocked her fist back before decking Wanda in the face. She was still breathing, but damn did that feel good.

"Guin, damn that felt good."

Tinley had moved on in following Jade, Goose be damned. Inside, they ran to Princess Wanda's room. She began to search, finding no noteworthy evidence of any reality shifting but hated the fact that people lived like this. Even if this timeline was made, the fact they had anyone royal pissed her off. The only royal was the Queen in her book.

A picture on the side of the bed struck her as she passed by. She picked it up and saw two children. It was obvious the pair were Wanda and Pietro, the Maximoff twins. What struck her was what she noticed behind them. The house in the background was decrepit and worn down. Something a lower-income family would be staying in. Unless the royal family slummed it on holidays, it stood to reason this picture was from the other timeline. And if Wanda had it...

"I think I found something. A picture of the other timeline featuring the Maximoff siblings. Take note of their home though. Doesn't look like an ivory tower to me. I think Princess Wanda knows a bit more about this than she would lead us to believe." She was kind of proud of herself for finding that and figuring it out. Wanda would be their next target.

Ana had to admit she was enjoying working with Mary. As she came along, she saw the others. Casper responded, but a small twinge in the back of Ana's mind made her not believe a word of it. She couldn't outright tell if he was trying to deceive them, but it stood to reason if she could not outright trust him, he was lying. And that begged the question: why lie to them?

"Hmm, seems odd you lot got farther than we did in here and found nothing. Mind telling us why you are lying?" Ana tried to enter Casper's mind to unleash him and get him to spill his guts, but the man's mind was hard to crack. She gave up, slipping back out. She stared them down, waiting for an answer then. "We're on the same team, right? If you have it, then mission accomplished. So why hide that?"

"I know that meow. We'll find you some food." Niah scratched at Goose's chin and started looking for some cat food for Goose. She opened a drawer and found a baggie of kitty treats. "Perfect." She said to herself and opened the bag a little difficultly since she was holding Goose. Then offered him a couple of the treats and shoved the bag in a pocket of her clothes.

Tinley at this point was holding up the picture. Niah took off her glove and touched the photo to see what she could glean from it. For a few seconds, Niah was gone mentally. Her eyes glazed over as images played in her mind. Then it was over. She blinked. "This picture was taken before they had powers. They seemed so happy playing with each other." There had been a certain irony in the memory that she had witnessed. Pietro had been slow and had a hard time keeping up with the running Wanda. "I agree this definitely isn't an appropriate picture for this." She gestured around the room with her free hand, then returned her glove to it.

Niah thought of the determined and sad Wanda she had met during Ultron's reign. She had been so determined to destroy him, to help the group. All because Ultron had killed Pietro. She would do anything for him. "I firmly believe Wanda would re-write the universe if it meant protecting and being with Pietro. He was getting married right, or was married?" Had the wedding happened? She remembered in the simulation the song she could hum it but had forgotten the name. "What was the name of that song on the tape deck we found in the simulation? What if we blasted it? Think it would make him remember the real world?" Niah asked Tinley. "If he remembers it'll piss off Wanda, she'd lose control over him."

Carolina smiled at October for a moment when she spoke to her friend one of the reasons why she did love her, she always knew how to say the right things and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "This is why we dated." Carolina said softly as she turned to see Flynn walking up to them, suggesting that they leave since she did attack them. Just as he said that Annie spoke up looking over at where Wanda was with the others, just as she had sent energy at them to knock them backwards.

She thought about going over to help, she knew that her friends did need help and she wasn't going to leave any of them behind either and she wanted to make sure that Scarlet Witch wouldn't hurt anyone else. "I'm staying to help them." Carolina said as she closed her eyes and astral projected herself forward and moved towards Scarlet Witch as she attempted to possess her, only to be knocked back out. She then did it again, taking control of Wanda briefly for ten seconds, and then being shoved back out again.

Cassandra looked towards Bruce for a moment and shrugged slightly. "I know she's an omega level mutant, and if Thor was here it could have affected Asgard as well if he wasn't on Earth at the time this all happened. So to affect a completely different place other than here she would have to have some kind of powerful tech earth made or alien made tech or artifact to do it on that scale." Cassandra said that was the only way she could think of anyway, she still wished that her sister was here with all of them.

She looked towards James for a moment he did have a good plan, but they would need a lot of hands to help make some bombs to make a large distraction. Harry she was pretty sure would have really loved to try his hands at making some explosives, since he was the Secret Warrior's weapon design specialist as well. "The plan could work, depending though on how many places we are attempting to hit, SHIELD security is pretty tight though."

Maria turned to look over at her girlfriend when she suggested going on another team to use her powers on her again to try and restore the memories of the others. She did hate the idea of using her powers in Novi again after she had just did it during the attack on Magento's palace. "As much as I hate being separated and being split up, I can do that." Maria said looking over towards Novikova for a moment and gave her a slight smile when Max spoke up looking over at him for a moment offering the group cloth change.

She looked down at her shoulder for a moment, it did have a lot of blood from when she got hit by Magneto luckily it healed up rather quickly. She requested a stealth suit from Max, seeing it she was satisfied with it now as well, it would work pretty well as well to as she listened to the others as they continued to talk.
