Warehouse
Banner’s eye twitched, as he immediately rushed over to Lance (his counterpart). “Buddy if you’re high I’m going to lose my shit!”
"So what if I aaaaaaam? Besides, nothing better then it for nope," he laughed a little in response to the whole thing.
"See, I was trying to stop this whole thing and drag him back here, but I got caught up and ran into them instead," Lana commented, pointing towards the other group and all.
"...Wow you guys were not kidding about the whole drug addict... Thing..."
"Whoa, why is there another me? Am I tripping here or what?"
"...Honestly, not going to try and explain this again..."
"You are literally tripping, yes!!" Banner snapped, his skin looking a little green. "Honestly, buddy, you're throwing your life away! You won't get to come back from the dead twice!"
"And I'd care and all about that sort of thing again why?" he asked him, Lance was about to step in about Banner shifting again, when Strange decided to do that instead.
"Banner, calm down, we do not have time for this, you've already shifted once this hour, and frankly that should be the quota for the entire day." he said rather sternly towards Banner, "Now, to answer the Asgardian's question, the group as we've said, tend to crave power and want nothing more then to obtain it. The Inner Circle who typically are in that building are the more powerful members of that group, and actually many members of the X-Men team eventually joined their ranks after an incident that then resulted in the old mansion being abandoned. They also tend to fight off any intruders that attack or enter the building." His attention then turned towards Annie when she mentioned that something was off, "Hmmm... Could be a number of different things, after all, travel between dimensions and reality, especially when not controlled like through proper magic or with a machine created for the journey could have some side effects."
Pietro seemed to think for a moment, before answering Runa, "Yeah, I'm fine, why?" he asked her in response, and he seemed to be telling the truth. Though his words sounded a bit off, maybe they sounded a bit cold or something? It was hard to tell at this point. What exactly do you need help with Guina? he asked her, though he sounded like he was already thinking of potential solutions to the problem.
Them. All of them.
Don't worry, I have an idea.
"YOU SHOULD CARE!" Banner screamed. "DAMN IT BUDDY, LIVE FOR ONCE!"
"I am living, you just don't approve of anything I do, or try to do, and then you throw the whole dying thing in my face for the hundredth time, even though I remember asking you for help with that whole situation, but you ignored me. Sooooooooooo, sorry for not caring what you think anymore."
"...Is it always like this?"
"Eh, basically," Lana said with a shrug.
Lance was about to answer Runa's question now, when his mind went to what he still had in his pockets, before reaching in, and pulling out the pills that he had been handed back at the hotel, before handing them to Lana, "Get those away from me, and probably destroy them in some way I don't care just get rid of them."
"Where did you get these?"
"Some guy confused me for him, now get rid of them," he continued, fighting really hard the part of his brain saying otherwise, before answering Runa's question, "Not sure," he admitted, not too sure what else to say. Something did seem to be wrong, but it was difficult to describe.
"This is an interesting situation..."
Pietro seemed to stop listening, before in a gust of wind he went over to Annie and had her in a headlock, choking her. Annie would start feeling dizzy from the lack of oxygen, but after a moment, Klara managed to get the speedster off of her and knocked him to the ground. "Okay what the hell just snapped in the speedster? Because that hasn't happened before, ever."
Banner looked like he was about to explode, if he hadn't exploded already. "You call that living? You call doing drugs all day and ruining your body and rotting your brain LIVING? Maybe I should've just left you DEAD if THIS is how you LIVE!" Banner was seemingly still focused on Lance's counterpart for the moment.
"You do realize that's what I've been saying right? Just admit it, I'm a screw up, can't do anything right, even tried to do the whole hero thing once forever ago, and we all saw how that went."
"Yeah, you got yourself fucking killed by THAT PIECE OF SHIT!" Banner screamed, pointing towards Pietro, and the green was continuing to creep up, meaning him shifting against was likely inevitable at this point.
"Why do you egg him on like that? There are other things that might need to be dealt with first!" Lana asked her brother.
"I got bored and he started ittttttt."
"Banner, I will not ask you again, calm down," Strange commented towards him before going over to where Klara had knocked Pietro down as he was starting to stand up. "Perhaps the reality traveling caused this situation and it is a side effect of something that happened during the trip through the reality rift as I said before in between Banner's usual outbursts."
Frost International Building
Klara was still seemingly annoyed with Ed, though currently there was the other issue of she likely wouldn't be able to keep throwing her sword around or attacking Juggernaut without eventually popping the bubble. "We need to get him out of here, we can't easily fight him head on and we're currently still having to deal with the other two. We can't just keep him in that bubble forever!"
"She's right, since if you want to try fighting Juggernaut head on you need as much fire power as you can get, and keeping him lock in that bubble is not exactly a solution, he's not exactly small or anything like that," Mary responded, thinking for a moment, before glancing over at the window that still had cracks in it from when Quicksilver threw her against it. "Hey Klara, how many people are on the street below?" she asked, since Klara now was the closest to the window.
She looked out the window and shrugged, "Eh, not a lot, most of them seem to be avoiding right next to the building. Why?"
"Well throw him out the window, Juggernaut can survive that fall easily and it gives us more time to deal with the other two!" Mary responded, before Black Tom broke free of the vines that she had been using to holding him in place, before sending off more spikes from his club. Most of them missed her, however the last one managed to spear the right side of her chest, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Better loehck next time, ya can't stahp me!" Cassidy said, cackling slightly as Mary ended up getting back on her feet.
"...Anyone else wondering why these guys are even here?" Klara mused slightly, before throwing her sword again and narrowly missing Cassidy's head, even missing him on the backswing when without seemingly doing anything or thinking about it, her sword just zipped right back into her hand, and she looked a bit surprised by that.
"Because we feel like it? Ever 'ave a mahment like dat where ya want to do sahmethin, and den joehst do it no matter what? Yeah, dat's oehs right now," he responded, before sending more spears flying towards her, but Klara just swung her sword around and split them in half when they got too close to her.
Quicksilver looked more then a little annoyed with Bethany and her counterpart. He started moving quickly, eventually just phasing out of the shadows that he had gotten tied up with. "You are so annoying! Why can't you just let us have fun?" he asked, before he jumped up and slammed into Bethany, this time she'd crash into and through a wall that went into an adjoining room. He sped around a little bit more, and decided that Ed needed to let go of Juggernaut, and slammed into him too, where he would hit an end table and break it, the splinters would start jabbing into Ed a bit, one more painfully in his arm. However, miraculously, he would manage to keep Juggernaut in his bubble, despite Juggernaut also pounding away at it still.
Mary was back on her feet, and tried to tie Cassidy up yet again with the vines, however he dodged out of the way of her attempts. The spear in her shoulder was incredibly painful, so that likely was messing with her aim, but that was getting annoying. Not like she could simply pull it out or anything, since that likely would cause it to bleed more and cause more issues.
