Blush left most of them behind in the attack to sort themselves out. Especially the one woman who had stabbed herself previously, who felt it was best to sit and plan out their escape in a cold, dark room that the occupants of the house had locked them in. Seemed like a really stupid idea. She had no trouble voicing that either, but as of right now she wanted away from the blasted attic and the group she was forced to work with. They had the right idea, safety in numbers. She doubted anyone in the house would be ecstatic to see them out of their confinement. She also desperately wanted to find Titian so she could properly “thank” him.

As she made her way to the door, she checked it and found it unlocked. It seemed they had some good luck, after all. ”It’s unlocked. I doubt they expected us to escape. Keep up your guard though.” She knew she had the means to defend herself should things go south.

Once opened, she stepped inside. Darkness continued to permeate the area and she wasn’t able to get far into the room. ”More darkness, more rooms. I enjoyed this house at the beginning and now I want to see it burned to the ground.” Once she got out, she would put this place far from her mind. Once the other business was taken care of, of course. She had no further qualms about sorting out her affairs anymore.

Priya threw her hands up in frustration. ”Yeah, I’m the crazy one, questioning why people know how to build a bomb in the first place and why it is somehow ok for a coroner to be the one to orchestrate it. I’ve dealt with a lot in the past couple of hours, so bear with me as I process this. I’m fully aware that something crazy is happening inside as it just ripped a door of its hinges so I’m not saying don’t build the fucking bomb. I’m questioning why because someone around here needs to hold on to logic.”

Soon, a scream was heard. It sounded foreign to some capacity, along with the smoke creeping out. ”There’s someone inside? Is she..?” Surely if there was someone, whatever was attacking the asylum had gotten her. She shook her head in disbelief. Things were spiraling and she had to put her questions aside for now. ”Damn it.” She followed Alicia to the shed, feeling the gun on her hip in her holster.

”Tell me what to grab and let’s go. I may not know how to build a bomb, but I’ll at least make sure everyone doesn’t die or explode themselves.” She would wait for instructions and process just what the hell was going on in this town. She should have stayed in New York. At least there wasn’t as crazy as Grimm, Indiana.

Tinley was very much on board with the plan, though it seemed a lot of people were raring to go on the assault team. They needed the time machine to be fixed. If they stopped Ultron here and now, it would be great, but the lives lost, the destruction, it would take years to rebuild and go back to some example of normalcy. And she didn't want that. She wanted to strike a blow. Show Ultron that a small rebel brigade took him down and did so in the past and present.

"I'm fine with that, but we need more people on the time machine team. Banner, you can join the assault. And Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch. I know it would be asking a lot and even more, have vendettas they want to be settled, but we need this machine set up if there is any hope of bringing them back. I won't force anyone to go where they do not wish to go, but I also want everyone to consider the big picture."

As the others trickled back, along with Doctor Doom, Tinley shook her head, but ultimately understood. Heroes and villains alike united against a common enemy. "Not about to turn down more allies, but I say that's enough help from the bad guys. Unless someone wants to reach out and find Loki? Red Skull? Hell, ask for Deadpool, see which side of the alignment spectrum he's on today. No? Then let's go kick Ultron's ass."

Myth should have known to not underestimate her husband and soon she found herself in a fire swarm around them, transporting them. She didn't recognize it immediately, but around them were the ruins of the palace they were in. And judging by Bruce's words, they were in the future. She took it in, seeing the destruction. If this was the future, then she wanted no part.

Especially when she saw the small corpse of what appeared to be a child. And in her heart, she knew. A sense. It was her own. She ran over to it, kneeling down. Tears welling in her eyes. "No..NO!" She screamed. She would not let this happen, whatever it was. Ragnarok or not, she would let nothing come between her and her boy. Ever.

"What happened? What caused this? Tell me now and I will put an end to it! They will not take my son from me unless I die first! They will have to go through me and I will not back down without a fight, I assure you! What the hell did this?" Anger was fueling her now. Anger, righteous fury that only a mother could muster.

Fleur could feel they sensed her, but no one had seen her. She struggled with turning around and just letting them go on with their business, stopping at her old home to bid Nera goodbye before she teleported back to her new home to oversee training and prepare for her next step in the plan. But there was some odd pull that kept her there, watching them. Seeing what they did and why. Pure curiosity on her part, to be sure. And it would most likely cause her to be seen sooner or later, but did that matter? At this moment, she was no danger to any of them. And what had she done to warrant anything?

Then she remembered the warning. The Time Stone. She was sure it was one of the main reasons she was detested so. Despite the fact she had used it not for personal glory, but to stop those who dared threaten her flock. And she would heed the warning. She would not be the one to unravel the strands of time. She would only use it if necessary. But she would not let them have it.

She decided enough was enough. It seemed the fun was over, anyway. She turned and began to head back to the Port Witch house. She could always teleport back, if needed.

Leighton was ready for a fight now. She hadn't attacked anyone...ever. Did catfights count? She pulled some hair and clawed at faces before, but this was the first time she attacked someone, mutant powers or no. It felt...good. Like an adrenaline rush, flowing through her. She felt in control of her powers and she felt very good after kicking the asshole's face and breaking his nose. Callie managed to finish him off though and seeing as the girl was handled, that left the crumbling pillars.

Leighton was worried. Her ice had melted easily before and she had never attempted something on this grand of a scale. But if she didn't, it stood to reason the place would come toppling down around them, most likely killing them if they did not leave and leaving them without a base and most others without a home. So she stood her ground, summoning her ice. She let all thoughts wash from her mind.

She attempted it, and nothing happened. She steadied herself again, feeling the cold in her veins and all around her, summoning it. Soon, the pillars began to coat with ice. Solid and thick, enough to hold them in place. She was struggling, but she was managing it. "That will hold it, but we'll need a more permanent solution for them. We need to contact Veil and all them. They need to know what happened."

Ana watched as the wizard boy attempt to further use fire to stop her. It was cute and pathetic and only managed to form a ring of fire around her. "What pray tell was the end goal there, pyro? Burn me?" She would deal with him later, it seemed she had other pressing matters. The ice bitch seemed quite pissed off that her boy toy was no longer on her side. So much so she put out the fire. Before Ana could come back with biting wit, she felt a piercing in her stomach. She looked down, blood soaking her dress.

She loved that dress, dammit!

Moments later, she used her telekinesis to hold her wound. It would do before she got medical services. "That dress was worth more than anything you could ever hope to own. I will see you burn in hell when all is said and done." She tried to fling the woman, crush her body, but she felt weakened by her wound. She would opt for her team to aid her. Especially their new friend. "Mind taking care of her, handsome?" She asked of Havok.

Even Balla had some morals. The splicer would either kill a bunch of human people, and odds are that was more likely, or it would damn them to a life they did not want and possibly feared. And the chaos that would erupt from it alone? She could see why Magneto wanted it now. They just had to ensure Scarlet Witch didn't leave with it. "And you would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for us me-" Before she could finish her witty response, Bella heard the sound of an explosion over the comms.

She turned to look at Sapphire, a small, growing sense of worry in her gut. She sprang into action and used the butt of her gun against Quicksilver's temple, knocking him out. "Take care of him quickly and I'll meet you at the lab." She turned and ran from the room, making a beeline for the lab. She dreaded what she would find there.

Once inside, she aimed her gun at no one, seeing Scarlet Witch on the ground, wounded from physical assault. Wesley was holding on to Watts, and judging from Watt's demeanor, it was easy to see who attacked Wanda. Though her eyes drew to a spot on the ground. A spot that looked like an explosion happened on it. She glanced around. "Where's Andrew?" She looked around at the others, though she had a feeling she knew the answer.

Happy that their friendship had been repaired to the best it could be, Allison fought off an urge to squeeze Guin, knowing they still had a mission to do. And it was nice to hear Guin share her thoughts on who caused all of this. "I've been debating all night as to who it could be. I narrowed it to Magneto or Scarlet Witch, though I was more inclined to think Wanda did it. And it is easy to see why. This is Magneto's dream." And it was her nightmare, but she let that pass. Guin already knew her thoughts on the matter.

Gripping Guin's hand as she tried to run with her (hard to do in heels), they came upon Guin's machine. "Easier said than done with them attacking outside. He's going to be under intense protection. The best bet would be to get close to him. Might be easy to do with you in a relationship with his son." Allison stood by and waited while Guin did her thing. She couldn't tell what had happened, but she trusted Guin enough to know she had an idea.

Allison stood her ground and used her other power, the one she hardly used. In her mind, she saw a path, the highest likelihood of success for them to get everyone to calm down outside. "I see the path, but it takes us outside right in the middle of the fighting. Where we just were would be the best place to use it. But that means going out there. I don't know if Pietro would help, but maybe Oshea could protect us? He doesn't know about everything, but he trusts me and I was planning on telling him after."

Tinley hadn't ever done a mass control before. She didn't know if she would be able to. "I haven't used my powers to that extent before. I've only ever controlled one person at a time. I can try though." Tinley closed her eyes and reached into the minds of as many of the guards as she could. She didn't want to knock them out, because then the cameras would see and know something was up. It would be better to get them away from the grounds in general. She managed to latch on to a few of them.

"I want you all to drop your weapons, go home, and forget about what happened here. Don't worry about your job, just leave." Once she exited, she saw eight of the men drop their arms and walk away. The others remained and were probably more than a little confused. "I got a few of them. We can probably take out the others easily. They are probably wondering why their co-workers are all leaving now anyway." She was still unsure about the cameras, but she would trust Jade for now.

Ana watched as further events unfolded in front of her, with the other guards attacking each other. "I didn't even shift their morals. They just acted on their own accord. Humans are fickle things." Truly, it was a sight. Either way, they had access. She ran over and opened the door and checked inside. A long hallway greeted them, with a door on the left and another along the end. She listened at the door and heard no noise inside. She checked it and it was unlocked. "Opening this door, be ready just in case."

Inside was a lab of some sort. She had never been interested in science much, but perhaps the plant girl was. "Nothing but a lab here. No security or anyone. Want to check this out a bit or shall we press onward?" She knew it was a matter of time before they got to their goal. What harm did it do to look around a little bit? They were thieves after all. It only made sense to look everywhere.

Mona fought off a sigh as she knew Theresa meant well, but she was growing frustrated. "So, I attended a school I had no idea was full of mystical creatures. Even though my grades were good, we never took classes on magic powers and greek lore, so forgive me when I say I still have no idea what you are talking about. Saying the names isn't going to make me learn them faster. What are they specifically so in the event I may need to use them, I'll know."

She kept her guard up as they continued, though she was sure they were inching towards the flag. Defenses would be up, of both the physical and mystical variety, so the quicker she learned what possible tricks she had up her sleeve, the better her chances of coming out on top. Or at least, not embarrassing herself.

"I'm happy to see you too. I saw what happened outside through Tate's eyes and it was...horrible. What exactly occurred here to cause all of this?" An attack of this sort, from vampires no less? What was their goal? Wanton destruction? Or did they have a target in mind? She followed Bruce mainly, but a few others accompanied them. Introductions could wait as this seemed vitally important, at least to her husband.

"This place is big, but if you are looking for a way through, why not find the Queen or the Princess. They were here, yes? Perhaps they are hiding and now that the battle is over, they can come out and aid us? Just a thought." Other options included finding a corpse and she didn't really want to do that. Or the ghost of the woman who killed the queen could help (but that would mean finding her). Or they could ask a wizard. Either way, they had options, at least.

Fleur watched those around the ship. She tried to sense who among them was triggering her and she spotted her. She recognized the signal from before during the wedding/birth. The woman was Asgardian, related to the baby she helped deliver (that still gave her nightmares). If she was here, it was not for anything as simple as a tour. She would have to keep an eye on her and those with her.

If she got closer, her Magyk would surely set her off, if it hadn't already. In fact, she tried to hide her sense, but she was, ironically, too powerful at the moment. They would figure it out soon. She had no intention of getting into a battle with them now. She didn't come here to fight, she came here to pay respect to lost love and leave. Surely even they could accept that. Even if their actions concerned her, so long as they left the house alone, she would allow them to stay.

Victory, however short-lived, still felt good. Hearing the bell ring made her feel something. It was a feeling unlike that of which she felt before. Perhaps working with others was a good thing. They did well as a team. Feedback's words echoed in her mind though. The Morlocks were under attack? They had to help. She about say such before they were interrupted. Before another word other than Boo could be said, the man started blasting the beams around them. Colossus was taken aback by some woman, so it seemed it was up to them for now.

The others leaped into action. Leighton surged forward, throwing ice blasts at the man. She missed all her shots save for two, which ended up going past and hitting Negasonic as she froze in place. "Shoot! Sorry!" She flustered a bit before she clenched her fist. In her mind, she formed a giant boulder, but it wasn't that big. Instead, she formed a sizeable ice rock and flung it at the man, hitting him right in the nether region. She wasn't aiming there, but she knew a man could easily be brought down by such tactics.

"I don't know who you losers are, but you picked the wrong day to mess with us." Running forward, Leighton lifted her leg and kicked the man square in the face, feeling the crunch of cartilage as she broke his nose. She brought it back and took a fighting stance. She hoped the others could keep the pillars from dropping or they would all be dead.

Before the interrogation could begin proper, they were interrupted by the obvious allies of the woman. Even with drinks on the table, it was quite rude to interrupt. And blasting a hostess? She felt the sting as she was flung back. She picked herself up. "Quite rude to arrive uninvited, but I am a proper hostess. Let me welcome you then." Anastasia grasped on to Havok's mind, entering his subconscious. It was there she picked and prodded around until she was satisfied. Oh, he fought hard. But she won in the end. Havok would awaken anew and switch sides. Now all his friends he came with? He hated them all. He was on their side now.

She left just as the icy woman kissed him. "My, that is something. That's going to play out interesting in a second. As for you. That was a perfectly good bar you burned. Are you always so dimwitted?" She picked up Max fairly easily and flung him out through the glass door onto the balcony. He would manage to grasp on to the edge. Not her intention, but it would do.

She prepared for more attacks, knowing the others would aid. "Really now, this seems like a tad too much. Mind telling us what you hoped to gain?"
