There was a horrible feeling of being the one person in a room full of people not knowing what is going on. Allison could only stare in disbelief at Magneto and his family. King of the world? How the hell did that happen? Surely no one would stand for that? Did Xavier try to stop that? Did the Xmen? Even Guin seemed to understand it as she gave Allison a puzzled look. Allison fought back tears again, this time due to confusion. Guin made an excuse for her and Allison was about to take it.
"Yeah, let me go get freshened up and we'll be right back. Save me a dance?" She spoke to Oshea, still unbelieving that he was in front of her. She held on to Guin's hand as she walked towards the women's restroom. Once inside, Allison checked the stalls and corners to see if they were alone. Once she was sure that was the case, she pulled Guin over to the sinks and mirrors and spoke calmly and quietly.
"Look, I don't know what is going on and I am getting scared. You seem to understand all of this so please fill me in. Magneto was never King of the world. Oshea was...dead. Is this an alternate timeline thing because if this is a prank I am not laughing. If it is, in my time, we were part of the Xmen, helping to save the world. You and Pietro were freshly engaged, his family was not royalty, and Oshea was killed. So please, tell me what has happened in this world before I go insane."

Tinley bit her tongue as she was chewed out. Was her reaction really unexpected? She was thrust into this world and expected to know just how to act? "With all due respect Logan, since you seem to have a grasp on the situation, I'll ignore the chewing out as I am very unclear on all that is going on. I believe I have a right to be confused. I'll play along and see if I can do some digging to put pieces together."
She nodded at Cassandra, thankful the girl tried to help her, but she figured her best bet was the other players. She walked back in as the others began to leave for whatever mission they were on, a mission she was sure she was not a part of and tried to scan Mystique's thoughts. She couldn't get a read and she clenched her fist in frustration.
She noticed a terminal and walked over to it, pretending to work on something. Instead, she began to search news articles, blog posts, social media feeds, anything to give her some insight. What she found was...surprising to say the least. Magneto was king of the world, anyone, not a mutant was treated like scum (which explained the behavior towards her as an Inhuman), Shaw was the director of SHIELD (which explained more), and Flynn was, somehow, related to Magneto now. Tinley closed all the tabs and sat there stunned. This was not her world anymore, but at least she knew how to play it.

All this talk in French was a tad annoying. New Orleans or not. Still, the heist sounded fascinating. A dig at the Red Guard, plus a shiny crown. She could just see herself wearing it. "Sounds positively shiny. I do hope they put up a struggle though. It is no fun when the job is easy, non? As for practice, I am eager to get started. What would you have me do? Swords? Guns? Perhaps I can shift someone to go in and steal it for me. The possibilities are endless."
She hid her glee as best she could. The others, especially the weirdo Casper, were of no importance to her much. Tools to be used in a heist sure. Each skilled in it. She knew. She studied until the time was right for her to take part. And take part she will. She would prove herself to her family especially. Striking out on her own. Running her own crew maybe? Or just wealthy enough to own a castle full of servants to wait on her hand and foot without the need of parents watching over her shoulder.
This was going to be such fun.
