Chandelar: Shi'ar Throneworld
The group had first had to take a brief detour to Asgard, namely so that the Shi'ar could be told that they were coming. Since dropping in uninvited to a race that was known to fight first and ask questions later in the past sometimes was probably not the smartest idea. Lance had decided to tag along with the group, figuring it better to not crowd what the other group was going to attempt to do.
The Bifrost landed them directly onto the Shi'ar Throneworld of Chandelar. The main seat of power for the entire empire, yet not the actual planet that was apparently dubbed the Shi'ar homeworld. That was another planet entirely. In the brief bit of info he had managed to figure out before they ended up going straight there was that there were hundreds of worlds that were technically all a part of the empire, even if the Shi'ar themselves weren't as massive of a force.
"...So are we supposed to just wait around for someone to get us or are we supposed to just walk in sort of?"
"Fairly certain we're supposed to wait here a moment. Probably best not to wander off."
"Considering what this place looks like, wandering away would definitely be a bad idea right now..."
"Ironically this isn't even the Shi'ar homeworld. It's just where they rule from, their official homeworld is a planet called their Aerie, though not sure if it is still around somewhere. With so many planets under their control it is possible it is still out there somewhere. Though that's mostly been speculation in general."
"Got it, so angering them might be a bad idea... Honestly though, we're kind of a bit desperate here right now so we've got nothing really to lose than to ask them for help then right?"
A few more moments passed, before there was the sound of footsteps heading there way, and what looked like a group of people heading over to them. "We've been expecting you. The Majestrix is waiting, as well as a few members of the council," one of them said, looking at the group, "To say many are curious as to the purpose of this visit, however we must be going. Follow us, and do not stray." With that, they headed back the way they came, a few of them seemingly were waiting for the group to pass by so that they'd follow after the group.
New Orleans Botanical Gardens
The gardens was a fairly beautiful area that the group would eventually be able to reach. It was fairly quiet, not a whole lot of people around at the moment. Which truthfully could be a bit of a blessing in disguise in the event that things went poorly.
Guin's phone buzzed with a response from her father, but whether or not she chose to look or not, it was fairly long, but in essence it was essentially just a what are you talking about and what's going on??? sort of response from him. Pietro wasn't entirely sure where in the gardens Mary was, she could be just about anywhere. Though the idea of being here actually was not a super comforting thought.
If things went sideways they literally were in probably the worst possible place to fight her in. Both if she used her plant based powers, or potentially choosing the gardens as fuel for a very large bonfire.
"So... What should we do? I mean I could race around to find where she is in here, but well, that might just alert her to the fact that we're here before we actually want her to know. The wind kind of is a dead giveaway. Then again there is a chance she already knows that we're here cause the entity sees all practically... So who knows?"
"There is a chance that she already does know, a decent one at that, which also gives some slight hope. Since she hasn't attacked us or anything yet."
"I mean, I guess so? Any ideas again how to find her in this place from anyone or anything like that?"
"Well looks like we're about to have more help with looking around here," Cyclops said, before pointing slightly up at the sky.
A few moments later, two figures landed on the ground, one having flown carrying the other. And the pair seemed to be nonother than Rogue and Gambit. They looked over at the group now, "Well, what's everyone waitin' around here for? This is the most likely place in New Orleans she'd be."
