Wooded Area "...Agreed, cause that was just plain weird... Just... Me... Killer? Bad... Very very bad... Because if people paid attention I probably could murder a bunch of people in a few seconds and no one would notice... Just... What the hell happened here..." Pietro whispered in response.
"I mean, could be worse..." "How exactly?" "...Not sure." They were keeping their voices down enough, but they'd be able to pay attention as Quicksilver came zipping into view near the door that was there.
"Ugh, why is Sabretooth so freaked out, there is literally no one here!" he complained, and the door nearby opened up as
someone came out from it, and he looked a bit annoyed at the complaining.
"Seriously? You have to sit there complaining about everything?" he responded with an eye roll to Quicksilver's complaints. "Honestly, what are you, 6 or something? What's going on? Thought you were sparring Sabretooth?"
"I waaaaas. But Sabretooth decided to act all weird and thought that we were being watched or that there was intruders waaaaaaay out here. Seriously, he thinks some idiots decided to show up way out here. Do you honestly think someone would show up here?" "I mean, we have had to deal with a few intruders because of everything, so honestly not too surprising at all."
"What? Do you seriously think he's right?" "Usually he's not wrong."
"Ugh, I wish Wanda was around... But she's off doing something for father, and I'm stuck with you as the only sibling around." "...Wait didn't that guy pop up in the reality Wanda created? He's a SHIELD agent or something like that in the real world, don't remember what his name... Second reality where he's related to me? Weeeeeird..." "That sort of thing is very telling when you think about it... Maybe he actually is and you just don't really know it..." she responded, keeping her voice down. However, despite what she could do, she couldn't stop herself from sneezing. Now, it wasn't exactly loud, but it was loud enough for Quicksilver and the other guy to hear, and look towards where they were hiding.
"Oops..." she said somewhat quietly, but at that point it didn't really matter.
"Still think Sabretooth is crazy?"
"Oh shut up Firestorm and maybe we should do something useful!" He shrugged in response as his entire body lit on fire, before he sent a fireball directly where they had heard the sound come from. The tree that the three of them were right next to instantly burst into flames, and it started spreading, eventually it was circling the three of them as various plants and bushes around them started catching on fire.
"You couldn't have done something better?" "What? If someone is there the fire and all will show them soon enough, considering the fact that otherwise they'd suffocate, or burn to death, so why does it matter?"
"You burn down the entire area?" "Create a vacuum or whatever to get the oxygen out of there to contain it, it isn't rocket science when you think about it. Not super difficult."
"...Ok, well since I don't feel like this is going to work out and don't feel like burning to death or running through fire, give me a second..." Pietro muttered, before he created a cyclone using his arms, and the flames started to die down from the force of it. His counterpart took notice to this, and tilted his head to the side, before in the blink of an eye he charged right where they were, and ended up somehow without even seeing them easily, slamming into Pietro and throwing him down into the ground. Runa's spell would start to falter, and Pietro now was visible to the other two.
"...Wow like I'm looking in a mirror here..." Quicksilver responded, more then a bit surprised to see Pietro.
New York Alleyway "...I'm so confused..." Lance muttered, not sure at all how he could have possibly known Lana, he had never
met her before, and in their reality, he didn't have a twin sister in any sort of way. Things were really weird for him, and his head was a little bit cloudy. He hadn't even noticed what exactly Guin had done, knocking out Lana entirely, before deciding to see about them getting to a nearby hotel.
"Uh what?" he asked, clearly a little confused before looking to see what hotel they were supposedly now heading towards, dragging Lana along with them.
"Guin... That hotel looks like a really not great place to go... But alright it's better then sitting here and waiting for someone to get super mad at us for existing here and all, so I guess let's go." He had a very vague memory in the back of his mind, that hotel looked familiar a little bit, almost like he and Lana at some point had an argument or something like that there. Of course, he was willing to see about helping to have them carry Lana there, and in the trek over, he bent light around so that they were more or less invisible as they got over to the hotel.
Eventually when they reached it, he dropped the invisibility he had created and everything and held the door open as they would be able to walk inside. The inside and front desk looked just as sketchy as the place did on the outside. There was a guy who looked like he might be high on something or maybe he was just tired at the front desk, and he looked at the group and sort of yawned a bit, not even really paying attention or seeming to care about anything. Lance walked up and figured this wasn't going to be a fun conversation,
"Uh... Hey, can we get two rooms please?" The guy at the desk finally seemed to acknowledge the group in its entirety, "Oh hey there Banner, welcome back! What, did your sister decide to try something and passed out from it? If ya don't know what you're doing passing out isn't surprising after all."
"Uhhhh..." he was not sure what to respond with, considering the fact that apparently this guy knew him? What, was his counterpart a regular here?
"No matter, you know the rules, no questions asked or anything, you're usual room is free, and just so happen to have the room right next to it. Don't worry about a thing, I still owe you for helping me out with a few things you know!" the guy said, as he went and grabbed two keys and put them, along with something else to, but Lance wasn't entirely sure what exactly, "Rooms 205 and 207, enjoy your stay, I've got to go do a few things to go do," with those last words, he hung up a little sign saying ring the bell for service, before he scurried off down a hallway.
"...Glad to see that he apparently tends to be a bit of a blabbermouth so I didn't have to say anything much... But wow..." he commented finally, before looking at the keys he had been handed, and what appeared to be a packet of pills.
"Well great, he decided to hand me drugs, so much fun... Alright, we need to get up to the rooms I guess... Preference on which of the two rooms, they are right next to each other."The Mansion Danger didn't completely lower her guard, the spikes were still pointing towards Ed and Bethany, and she tilted her head to the side, as if she was thinking about something.
"Friends of... Bloom?" she repeated, as if something in that phrasing didn't make sense to her. As if it was messing with her programming in a way.
"You... Make... Sense..." she started stammering a bit, and sparks started shooting out from her head. Something just did not seem right, but the spikes around them disappeared as Danger continued sparking.
"Reset... Short circuit... Alone..." were the only words she said after that. One thing that was plainly obvious, was that something Ed had said seemed to cause this issue. The illusion around the interior of the school completely broke, and they'd all be able to see the school broken and neglected, now it seemed to agree with how it looked on the outside. The holograms of the students disappeared, fading away when the illusion broke, and now Danger's facial expression seemed a bit more on the well... Crazed side.
"Leave! Now!" she yelled out at them, before out of nowhere
lasers started firing off at Bethany and Ed. The lasers were firing off wildly and seemed to burn the walls of the already somewhat not so sturdy mansion, but luckily it seemed to hold in general and didn't shake or anything like that from the impact.
Meanwhile, downstairs Mary was a bit confused as to what she saw and heard. Blinking a few times, her vision blurred, and she found herself opening her eyes up with her lying on the ground as if she had passed out. Her head was pounding a bit from it, but she thought nothing of it, as she stood back up off of the ground, trying to dust herself off a little bit, before she went down the hallway and saw that several of the rooms had papers scattered around, as if the mansion had more or less gotten abandoned in a hurry of sorts.
Walking into one of the rooms, she found a few folders with papers that she started to sort of flip through, trying to see if she could find anything that might explain what happened at the mansion to make it so that everyone left. There wasn't really anything helpful, at least at her first glance, but she didn't stop to look through everything more closely, before she heard something above her with crashes and a bit of a commotion. She grabbed the stack of papers before she took off running, heading for the upstairs area to maybe try and see what the hell was going on.
She entered the main foyer area, just in time to duck out of the way to avoid the lasers that Danger had fired off.
"...Well I thought you were around here somewhere Danger," Mary commented, poking her head around the corner and looking at the other two seeing all of the chaos that was going on. However, what she hadn't fully expected was what was going on with Danger. At the sound of Mary's voice, she started twitching and glitching out a bit more. Mary barely had time to react as she sent vines out to block a blow from a laser that would have hit Bethany in the head with a powerful shot, but thankfully the shield of plant life she had created managed to protect her, barely as the vines burned away, but it worked out.
"Danger stop it already this is getting ridiculous!" Mary snapped out as she managed to get over to where Ed and Bethany currently were.
"Ok, what the hell is going on, considering the fact that Danger is usually not like this..." "Others have been alerted... Aid is coming," Danger said out loud now, sparking a bit out of control still, and Mary was incredibly confused. She had no idea what had happened to the mansion, but Danger was starting to freak her out a bit, and considering what the robot was capable of, she had every right to be.
This was a messed up situation, and Mary knew it. Something obviously had happened at the mansion that resulted in it becoming abandoned, and well, Danger clearly going a bit off the deep end. Danger was a powerful AI, and with this entire situation, she was worried about what she might do.
"As her name might suggest, she's dangerous so keep on your toes if she keeps trying to attack again... Did she just pop up and start attacking? Or did you say something that caused her to go crazier or what? Sorry, I was looking around to try to find her cause I thought she was probably active somewhere with the holograms... I passed out or something since after a few moments I suddenly found myself waking up on the floor... But mind telling me what happened?" With all of this, she wondered what was going on, and spikes suddenly seemed to shoot out from the walls and just narrowly missed the group. Danger had also mentioned alerting someone, so she was wondering if that was all in the AI's head, or if she actually had called someone, and if so... Who?
