She wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but considering the lack of chaos sounds going on around her told her that the fight was over. However given what everyone else was saying near by, and then Demi instantly asking her a question before he started rambling a bit as he spoke. It wasn't over, from the sounds of it the door was now gone, which meant that they had to deal with a few different things now with regards to it. "Níl deireadh leis fós," she said to everyone there, switching to her native tongue for a moment, before thinking of how to explain what she had seen.

"We'll get to Tartarus. I know we'll. I saw a few interestin dings in 'er mend, de lesser was de 'ow she escaped frahm camp. 'owever one din I saw was much mahre 'elpful. Dedn't expect de door to disappear ahr whatever 'appened. But I know we'll get dere," she started to say, thinking of what to say next. "I saw a vision, one o' us in Tartarus. At least I'm sure it was Tartarus based ahn descreptions o' it, it stell is a bet odd to see what dings look like in de dream wahrld and ones mend. We were by, ance again ahnly dink o' dis by de descreption o' what it looks like so dahn't quote me ahn it, by what looked like a shrine o' Hermes. We'll get down to Tartarus, try to stay at least sahmewhat optimestic about it."

Mira looked over at Jaclyn when she asked about what had happened to cause her to not like board games. "Ever seen the movie Jumanji? A few months before everyone took off on their space adventure, Loki decided to show up on Earth again and cause issues, we ended up playing a real life version of the game. So much fun playing a game where anything in the game could kill you, actually that was kind of the last time things were kind of calm around here," she commented with a bit of a shrug, not really saying anything else about that whole situation.

Max and Perry both were giving ideas of different things that they could see about doing instead. She personally didn't have a preference one way or the other, then again, considering Perry had ideas that would probably be better towards late afternoon maybe even into the evening, Max's idea seemed the best for the moment. "Maybe we can get something worked out in the Danger Room, kind of curious how the computer will take wanting to do something fun instead of a chaotic training session. Might be interesting."

Lance shrugged slightly, before pulling out another can and handing it over to Bethany, "Alright, having been doing much, aside from occasionally attempting to calm a speedster down for the past week, but can only do so much with that," he responded, before he took a seat at the table across from her. Pietro had been going a bit crazy for the past week or so at this point, and it didn't seem like anyone saying anything to him was actually going to fully help. Hence only "attempting" to calm him down, since nothing seemed to work for that.

He laughed slightly when Bethany made the comment about Perry likely wanting something to happen, "Now see, seems like that now for her, but seriously, you kind of learn to appreciate the calm after a while. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't complain about it if you ask me." Last time it had been this calm, it hadn't exactly ended too well for them.

From where they were, both Lance and Bethany would be able to see bright light from outside of the window that quickly disappeared. Bethany would be able to recognize it vaguely from stories more or less, as belonging to the Bifrost when Asgardians typically came down to Earth. So it seemed like the mansion had a visitor or two, however from where they were inside the mansion, they couldn't really tell who it was that had decided to show up.

---

Outside the Mansion
There was a gust of wind by Annie and Guin, as Pietro suddenly popped up as if from out of nowhere, "Hey there Annie, Guina, how are you two?" he asked the pair of them. Though he asked both of them, the question was more of him wanting to check on how Guin was at the moment more than anything. A moment later, nearby, there was a rush of light that hit the ground not too far away, and once it cleared, they'd recognize the two people who were now standing there.

It was Runa and Klara.

Klara was definitely doing a lot better since the last time they had seen her, back not too long after they had gotten back from the alternate reality and her and Runa had gone back to Asgard. While back on Asgard, she had more or less had been seen by some healers, mainly to ensure there wasn't anything else wrong with her, but luckily the circlet that she had that Runa had made her (that she now was currently wearing) had been able to take a massive hit from whatever had happened to her mind. A lot of her memories were still very much fuzzy and not fully there, but she did now at least vaguely remember who the X-Men were (well, more of mostly, not so much what had happened while she hung around them, but at least the members) so that was something. However she very much did not remember the mansion or anything like that, so she was not too sure where they even were at the moment.

"So... The X-Men group lives here right?" Klara asked her cousin, still somewhat confused and a little unsure.

Well now she was just sort of getting mixed signals with regards to whether or not she should tell them what she got from Leandra now or later. Personally she was in more of agreement with Nancy, since they were in the middle of a fight at the moment, and the information wasn't exactly something life or death currently. It would be fine to wait until after the fight in her mind, and she still was just doing her best to stay out of the way currently, since she really needed to see about getting her surroundings straight and where everyone was located in proximity to her.

"I dink it might be best dat we wait a secahnd to discuss what I saw so we 'ave mahre time to actually figure it all out... After de fight," she said towards Kristin, clearly showing she agreed with Nancy on that one. The fighting was a bit noisy for her, so it was taking a bit for her to tell where everyone was. It did seem that people were having an easier time taking down monsters now, with some help from Artemis it seemed like. She heard Nancy say someone else's name, and she figured she was getting an Iris message, the name was familiar but she wasn't super sure who it was.

"...Maybe don't insult the guy who could summon up a million different things to make this a near impossible Mario Maker level?" Zelda ended up saying, sort of ignoring the stupidity that was Danni and Dorian. Their ideas were a bit too convoluted to her completely, and she looked over at her sister with a bit of an eye roll, asking who all played the game. "...Um... Me? You know your geek sister whose here too?" she said towards her, before looking at the situation ahead of them.

Trying to make stairs or something was an idea, however Zelda was hesitant to try and make anything. Partially because it ran the risk of messing with the code, and knowing her luck would result in destroying something instead of creating something. However the comments about the pipes caused her to shake her head. "...You're only half right about the shortcuts, you aren't exactly saying what happens about them. No, the pipes are more than just shortcuts. The first one on the first level of the world, yes, that is a shortcut, that has no danger though and literally will eventually drop you right by the flag. However if you get to level two in the world, that has a hidden set of pipes, and can jump you to world 4, then the set hidden on world 4 level 2 can take you all the way to world 8... So you could get by with only doing 6 levels out of like, 32 that way, which is why speedruns of the game typically run under 5 minutes for the best players. Of course that's if he'd not just going to have us play the game in it's entirety and not just jump us to King Koopa... Also known as Bowser now a days. You want to be morbid don't hit any brick blocks or rocks or whatever. Pretty sure question mark blocks are okay though, but yeah, the instruction manual of the game implies that the reason you don't see any Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants is because they got turned into bricks and stones and I think plants or whatever. So people seem to have the theory that you might be accidentally killing them or something like that. It's really weird. But the shortcuts aren't bad, despite what you seem to think," she didn't really like talking a whole lot for the most part, and was keeping her voice somewhat quieter and not shouting over everyone, however she really wanted to correct the seemingly misinformation being handed out how the shortcuts are bad and dangerous or something.

Mira was sort of just off by herself at the moment. She currently was a bit bored at the moment, and was just playing a video game on her computer, when she heard a voice calling out the same sort of thing she was thinking as they were wandering or something like that. The voice was pretty loud,, and it took a second for her to recognize it as the voice of Perry. It was a bit of a random thing, but after a few moments, she had turned off her game, and gotten up, heading out into the hall to see what was going on.

She eventually came across Perry, and saw that she wasn't the only one who had decided to see what the noise was about or something, because Jaclyn and Max were both there too. "Well if you're bored pretty sure something can be come up with, can't be that hard to come up with something considering we have four people standing here now. I'd suggest a board game or something since we'd have enough players but I kind of got turned off of board games last year," Mira said with a slight smile, looking at the other three.

For the past week or so Lance had been really really worried about Guin, but those initial few days after the whole incident, weren't exactly too great for him either. With her relapsing, he really had flashbacks to back during their teen years, and those specific ones were not great memories. Actually it also then jolted a few memories of seeing a version of himself from that alternate reality, one where his counterpart was fairly dependent on drugs and things like that. Those were not things he wanted to think about, so initially afterward, he'd kind of stayed back and let Pietro help Guin out, but after a few days things more or less got better with that, and he got his thoughts back on track, so he was kind of keeping an eye on her too now when Pietro wasn't around or something.

He found himself walking into the kitchen, and noticed Bethany there now, so he walked over to her. "Hey there, how are you?" he asked her, as he went to the fridge and pulled a soda out and opened the can up. Things seemed to be calmer at the mansion right now. He partially was expecting something horrible to happen in the next five minutes or something. That just tended to be how their lives were, but he was kind of glad for the break.

"Yes, I can, I 'ave dahne it befahre," she responded simply to Demetri, referring to the last time she had done it while on a quest with Zeke and Kristin before. It wasn't anything too fancy or difficult, honestly it also wasn't exactly that impressive of a thought. It was just called using a brain, and Demetri had still yet to prove that he had one at all. Reminded her of what the Scarecrow had said in the Wizard of Oz "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking."

Of course chaos started continuing to erupt as the giant or whatever it was started attacking. Not like she could actively tell what was going on, only she could tell from the sound cues around her. However Kristin told her to still get the info from Leandra's head, and that was something that she more then happily would do. She managed to find where Leandra was and put her to sleep with her powers, before mentally using her abilities to dive into her head to see what sort of things appeared in her dream world.

She saw a few different scenes that played out as she watched, leaning back and seeing what was going on. The first thing that popped up was seeing how Leandra had managed to escape the camp, getting a follower of her to help her and sneaking out of the camp. That was a big thing. At least that explained how she got there more or less. The next thing though was a vision she wasn't entirely sure how it popped up from Leandra's head, but it stood out to her as well.

Them down in Tartarus by a shrine to Hermes.

At least she was fairly certain that was what it was, she had no way to know for certain, but it definitely seemed to fit the description of a shrine, and it seemed to be one for Hermes, which was not one that she would have expected but okay? It was a bit of an odd vision, and Janelle eventually got out of Leandra's head and wasn't sure if now was the time to explain what she saw, or not.

"Do you want to know now what I gaht frahm 'er 'ead, ahr would you prefer waitin until de fight is over?" she ended up asking, trying her best to stay out of the way of the fighting that was going on currently.

Zelda wasn't sure what to think, until she heard a very familiar sound playing through the area and she looked up. Super Mario? They were literally in Super Mario? Honestly despite it being a much older game, she did enjoy it. She tended to play games from that era anyway on occasion. She was named after a video game character, specifically from an older game in that series too. So it was actually kind of nice to be in a familiar area, even though it was added onto by Ed saying that they could actually die. Seemed like someone was a big fan of SAO or something at this rate. That's when Zelda noticed the outfit she was wearing, while it was the yellow and orange of Princess Daisy (complete with the crown) it actually was a shorts and tank top outfit, looked like it was more of the outfit that Daisy wore in the sports spinoff titles of the game. Well she was glad she wasn't in a dress, considering what it was she was immediately aiming for.

Looking around, she obviously saw the Goombas heading their way, and Zelda looked up above them, right where she knew they would be, the line of blocks up above that everyone seemed to have ignored. One of the blocks was one in particular she was aiming for, one that had a question mark on it's sides. "There's more to this game then just stomping on Goombas," she ended up saying, before taking off forward, heading straight for the block. She jumped up and punch the block with her hand, before whirling around and catching the power up mushroom that emerged from the block. There was the typical power up sound effect for the game (even though it was the simplest one) as she ended up growing a bit in size so she was taller now then everyone else. Before she immediately went forward and jumped onto the nearest Goomba, stomping it down and destroying it. "Power ups are a thing, first level in the game always has a mushroom in the first block you come across, it's pretty much a given with the Mario games, specifically the side scroller ones, not the more 3D environment ones specifically... Mushrooms make it so it takes a little more to kill you essentially, so that was the reason I went for that first before stomping on a Goomba," she explained simply.

Hey, I know you probably don't expect to hear from me this way. Not when usually I can call or something like that, but I don't know how long this will work out. I don't even really know if you'll get this to begin with. But this way, by snail mail seemed like the safest option.

I need help, and I don't know what to do.

Something is seriously wrong, and I don't really have time to explain it now. I need you here, maybe call some of the others I don't know. Just get here fast. I don't think this is going to end well. Or if I can hold on for much longer.

Hurry!

A lot had happened in the past month. Nothing is ever so simple or quiet at the mansion really, but considering how many people they had with them who were all left stranded from the asteroid blowing up, that resulted in a bit of a scramble to try and help them all get back on their feet and space for them all to stay. The mansion was crowded for a few weeks, before slowly but surely everyone started to leave and head off in their own directions.

Magneto actually stuck around for a little while in order to aid in this, but as soon as the last people were away from the mansion. He too departed. Eventually it was just the normal students at the school along with the team, though some students were already heading out for the summer, so the school wasn't as crowded as it usually was.

Mary tended to head off different places, but she didn't seem to have any issues or anything. She'd head off places randomly, spending sometimes spending a few days away at a time. Usually any questions about where she was heading off to she brushed off and said she sometimes just needed to really get away from the place. Actually she currently wasn't at the mansion, and the last time someone saw her around was about two days ago, so who knew really where she was or what she was doing at this point.

Pietro was sort of constantly hovering around Guin, incredibly worried about her because of about a little over a week ago things weren't going tooo great for her and a slight incident happened, and now he was making sure more or less that she wasn't really left alone all too much. So that was something to say the least. It probably would get a little annoying, but at least for now he was sticking close by.

Things were fairly calm at the moment though, no more issues running around rampant, nothing blowing up or anything going wrong. Nothing. It was actually a fairly calm time, so people could go off and about doing whatever it was that they wanted to do around the mansion or its grounds. It actually wasn't a super bad day or time in general, of course with the lives they live, things could go horribly wrong at any moment, but that's just a given.

As of right now, everything seems to be alright.

Zelda was still not sure about this whole situation, but she followed along with everyone else to where everything was setup with the Framework. She found the idea of the Framework a little weird, but also kind of interesting to say the least, the idea of basically being able to go into a virtual world and being able to wander around that way. It basically was a really big virtual reality video game, so that was something she was more or less excited about. But also the idea of training that way was not something she was super sure of. Since it made it too much like real life, that was the reason she liked video games, they were an escape from everything.

Seeing everyone else already getting into the tanks to hook into the Framework, and she basically got ready before getting into the thing. This was still a weird feeling to her, and she closed her eyes. After a few moments, she opened them again and she woke up in the Framework, seeing the others popping up nearby in the contest arena. Zelda wasn't sure what they were supposed to do now though, since this didn't fully make too much sense to her on what to do now.

"I will don't worry. But hey, who knows, if people want more of a challenge maybe I can trigger something interesting to happen in the arena for practice," Zari responded to Andy giggling still at the idea. She knew she had to stop herself from causing too many issues in the Framework, but if anyone wanted more fun or a bigger challenge, then she would happily oblige and give them something more interesting to say the least. That would be entirely up to everyone else though.

She got ready to go into the Framework again, climbing into the tank as she went. Zari waved slightly at Andy as she had climbed into her own tank to go in. Diving in, she closed her eyes, waiting to load into the Framework to be able to mess around in that virtual world again. Except that isn't what happened. No, Zari's eyes did not open up or anything like that, at least not in the virtual world.

Unlike everyone else, she didn't wake up in the Framework. And wasn't there at all.

Zelda was still not entirely too sure what to even do at this point. This whole contest thing was insanely weird and she didn't very much like the idea of it. To her it just seemed like it was kind of stupid, but that was just her opinion on it. Going into a weird training program or something in order to practice and train for it? That also struck her as weird. Yet here she was, going to see about doing that since the rest of her team wanted to do it.

"I mean I guess, this still seems odd to me..." she muttered, all ready to go despite very much not fully wanting to. Seeing Diana head out, Zelda let out a slight sigh and followed along after her. She wasn't even sure this would even be worthwhile, since odds were, they still were going to lose the contest. So why go out of their ways to actually be more of a spectacle to people and screw up and lose in front of other people? Oh well, she was here now, might as well hurry to the gym and join everyone else.

Zari was super excited to get into the Framework again! Of course, she'd keep an eye on what she was doing this time, last time was more of her seeing about how much she could actually accomplish and get away with. This time she should probably keep things a bit more realistic, even though that was truly the first time she actually felt like a half-Asgardian. Since there she literally was a god and could accomplish anything that she wanted as long as she thought it. A technopath was very dangerous in that sort of situation.

She was all set to go, and she skipped along down the hall and to the gym where everything was setup. The instant she was in the room, she went right over to Andy, "Hiya Andy, ready to see what's in store for us? Cause let me say, I'm going to probably end up holding back a bit so it's more fair. Since as previously pointed out, I tend to actually be fairly powerful in the Framework, all of that code and all just waiting to be messed with. I kept glitching the system. But since that is a situation that likely will never easily repeat itself. I'm probably not going to do that," Zari said with a smile, rambling a bit as she spoke.
