Leighton had only gone out to get some air and to prevent herself from saying or doing anything further that would get her in trouble. She had cautiously ignored Sunshine's comment because she knew the girl was hurting, much like she was. Didn't excuse the bitchy behavior, and she would know, but she could understand it. Hell, she was still getting used to not acting like a...heh...Ice Queen to everyone with a pulse. So when she came out and saw Negasonic speaking on the phone, to someone she clearly cared about, Leighton felt it would be best to clear the air with her too.

"Sounds like you care about her. Girlfriend?" she asked. "I'm sorry about earlier. I haven't felt very useful since coming here so when I was able to do something that seemed to mean something, it felt good. I suck at this apologizing crap so what I'm saying is sorry for sounding like a bitch."

As she got done with her apology of sorts, a car pulled up and she was able to see the others. However, it didn't take much to see that something had happened and it was something bad, judging by expression and the overall demeanor of everyone. "What happened?" she asked any of them. It was bad enough they lost their "home", but now it seemed they were about to be hit with more bad news.

Ana took cautious steps but did her best to mask it as she was still reeling from the attack. She listened as Emma laid out the plan for tomorrow. A train heist, it seemed. "That sounds like a lot of fun. And I'm not worried about some son of that bald, old wheelchair-bound man, powerful as he is. Anyone can be brought down with the right tools." She happened to be blessed with an assortment of them, most of which she figured would be useful.

The only concern was Jinx and Requiem. Those bumbling idiots could put a damper on any plan, so she would have to be cautious and careful with how she used them. Leaving them to their own devices was a no-go. She knew better now. Both had their strengths, to be sure, but if they were to do this right, they needed to work together. Which meant both of them needed to listen to her.

"I'll go see the boys them and prepare them. I'm sure they miss me terribly."

DttS In-Between: Josephine had only gotten her bearings in place when the others appeared. She was happy to see some of them, at least. ”Gene, darling! How nice to see you are ok. I am doing about as well as can be expected considering recent events. I don’t suppose you know where we are and what is going on?” She had a feeling she knew the answer to those questions, but hopefully someone knew.

With Mosi answering Nora for her, o tackled on her own response. ”Both Vera and Reddish vanished along with the ship and surrounding area. I take it the same thing happened to you all considering you are here now.” Jo looked over to the two she did not recognize, sizing them up. The man, a detective apparently, looked like one she supposed. He wasn’t all-together bad looking, she just had a feeling he was probably not her type though. As for the woman, she seemed mousey, but had a certain spunk about her. She was pretty none the less, how she was paired with the detective boggled her mind, but then again if she was his partner, it meant she did something right.

”A pleasure to meet you both. I am Josephine Clark, though I am sure you knew that already.” She gave them a Hollywood smile, hoping they had at least heard her name before. It had been a while since someone recognized her for her work.

DttS In-Between: Faye felt a bit stumbled when Richard introduced her as his partner. She felt a surge of emotion she hadn’t felt for the man. It meant she had won favor with him. Given that recent events were very much of the supernatural variety, she was sure she earned some respect in his books now. ”What my partner meant to say is, yes. We experienced it too. Haze along with a weird smell. Soon, everything began to vanish along with the old man who was with us. And now we are here.”

Faye looked over to the skeletal figure again, just to check if she was right. ”I believe it is meant to be a warning or a greeting. Hard to tell which is which, but I can almost guarantee we are not in Hell. Or not the Hell the good Bible describes, at least.”

Lastly, she looked over to the two women who she had not met yet. She had that familiar feeling about the blonde, the other one she did not know at all. But as soon as her name was given, Faye knew who she was. ”My goodness, you are Jo Darling right? Never would I have imagined meeting a movie star here of all places. What are you doing here?” Might have been a bit rude, but she was surprised. She wondered if Richard knew who Josephine was. She doubted it. He didn’t seem like the type to take in a good movie.

Evellina's Cave: Faith listened to Evelina, she owed the woman that much, but she could feel tense in her gut. Eve might have felt it was in their best interests to leave them, but given all that has occurred, was it? ”It is abandonment to leave your children in the care of anyone, family or no, who has no idea how to care for them. It has been so long since I last saw you. Gio and Gil did not know how to handle things. We needed you and still do. That is why I came. I was told I’m the only one who could.”

Faith’s heart swelled upon hearing Eve missed her too. It was true what she said, she felt more at home amongst the Paradoxes than she ever did back during her own time. ”No, I came alone. As I said, I was the only one, according to Siduri and Parliament, who could make the trip due to my ability. I do not know where the others are, but they are capable. We have grown a lot in that time. We kind of had to given all that has happened. With reality slipping away everywhere, we were meant to go help.”

Faith glanced around again. It made no sense and it made perfect sense where they were. That’s a paradox in and of itself. ”So we are in an in-between sort of place then? I suppose that makes the most sense then. So, I’m here now to help you. What do we do?”

Colette still did not understand how that creature wasn’t connected to Ludwig. Even though the poor man was gone, whatever that thing was still seemed connected to him somehow. How were they to know Ludwig didn’t die because that creature grabbed his soul and took over and the fight ended both of their lives? There were still so many questions and very little answers. ”Whatever it was, it was unlike any creature I have faced before. Soulless I know, but during my travel here on the ship we were attacked by some large, unknown creature in the water. It was another thing I had never encountered before. I do not know if the two are connected.”

She felt the others were in similar situations for the most part in their cluelessness. The haze remained, of course. If that meant there was still more, Colette would face it, but at what cost? She came to ensure Millicent was safe and ended up finding out not only was her target dead but now there were creatures of unknown origin attacking. Still, she supposed this beat sitting at home and doing nothing. Though she wondered how far this haze traveled and if others were safe.

”If it is not over, we have some time to prepare then. I could use another weapon and we could get magical defenses placed, just in case.”

Proud of herself for facing a freaking giant and living to tell the tale, Myth put down the "boulder" and allowed the others to do their work. It seemed the woman had some fight in her, though Myth may not have appreciated the methods. Still, the giant put her down. "You're welcome" Myth told her, noticing the woman had not thanked her for aid. Mayhaps Bruce was right.

And speaking of the dear man, he managed to transport them back to the present and she had never been so happy to see the courtyard. She wanted to go back home and pick up her baby and hug him, but she knew they still had work to do. Regardless with what Bruce said, she had every intention of stopping Ragnarok, or at least stopping the event she just witnessed. She would not see her family on the ground. Not without a fight.

"Well we are back, safe and sound thankfully. Thank you, love. I still think we need to check on Tate and his girl when we have time, but up to you. What's next?"

Fleur had not told anyone else apart from those in her coven about Nera and about her feelings for the woman. Hell, the coven wasn't even aware of the true thoughts and feeling she still hed for her. "She was my best friend, my closest confidante. She was my second-hand when I needed someone and she obeyed without question, but it ran more than just me as leader. I felt a kinship within her I had never felt before with anyone. As a leader of a large group, you learn to never trust anyone really. This one was the first I allowed any sort of trust. And she was taken from me by that woman. So, I will see her dead upon the ground."

Fleur wondered what other work the woman had left to do despite following her with the probable intention of killing her. "Of course, dear heart. I don't expect you to drop everything and come with me. You are a woman of your own and you will find that while I may lead my flock, they are, more or less, left to their own devices. In fact, if you would like, I could aid you in your work. As a way of cementing this newfound partnership we have. Up to you though, my dear. I have some business to finish here and then I will be as free as a raven."

Mona didn't know what to expect with the offer of transportation. Given the fact these kids all had abilities granted by the gods she was sure it was going to be something weird and out of the ordinary. So it was much to her surprise when she was picked up and ran across the field at top speed. Before she could even begin to process what the hell had just happened, she was mere feet away from their own flag.

However, Mona was disoriented. She nearly dropped the flag and fell to her knees, dizzy and unable to catch her breath. She felt sick, but not to the point where she would puke all over. It was more like she was on a roller coaster. It took a minute to process it, but she felt a hit on her hand, causing the flag to drop from her hands. Before she could react, Kiera grabbed the flag and ran to their own.

A horn sounded, signaling the end of the game. Mona shook her head, finally coming back to reality. "We won? We won!" It was the first time she had ever been excited about a sport.

Tinley cursed each step she took as it became harder to climb. There had to be an easier way, and she would get to that once those fucking drones were taken care of. She unleashed her batons again, flipping over one and smashing it down to the ground. The second and third she jammed both batons into them and crushed them. "These drones are getting on my last nerve."

She summoned a force field around herself and began propelling herself upward. She was still tired from her climbing and she could feel the force not being as strong as she liked and only got to three stories higher before she had to suspend her field. And, of course, the drones followed her. She swiped at a few of them, but they grabbed her batons and took them out of her hands. "Oh fuck you! Not having that right now." She ran at one of them and flipped, spinning in the air with her feet outstretched. Tinley smash!" she screamed as she collided with one and it hit the ground, releasing the baton. She only had one, but it was better than nothing. "Come at me bastards! This is only the appetizer."

Leighton felt her anger building and she knew that would not end well with her powers. The structure of the building was already compromised, she wouldn't be the one to crumple it all down around them with further injured inside. She allowed the others to question the man, and it was easier than she thought given the fact he released a name without input. Callie used her powers on him, it seemed, so she backed off.

She had no medical know-how so helping the injured was not in her wheelhouse. What drove her nearly to the edge was Sunshine's continued attitude towards other people. People who, thus far, seemed to be on her side or have helped her in some capacity. Leighton knew that she, herself, was a bitch, but Sunshine went beyond that. "Why don't you shut up for a couple of minutes. Every word out of your mouth is an insult driven towards someone and we don't really need that right now. If you want vengeance for Erg then I'm on board, but chewing out your allies continuously is only going to drive them farther away." She would know and she knew the irony of her words.

She shook her head. "I need some air. I can't help the injured and I would only hurt them further if I tried." Leighton left them to step outside, not really caring for Sunshine's retort back at her. Maybe they both needed a minute to calm down.

Ana could feel the healing process. She pitied that it would only be for a few moments that her body could heal itself naturally, but it was useful. She heard Emma's words in her mind and knew she was correct. She would bide her time. For now. "How are the two idiots I was paired with? I don't see them here so I take it their injuries were not as severe as mine." Hopefully they were working on the next bit of their plan, but she figured they were probably standing around doing fuck all.

"So what's the next step then? I'm anxious to get going." Her body felt light again as she moved slowly to stand. The blood had worked wonderfully and she wished she could somehow have it continuously work through her. And the claws would be a useful addition, should something like that attack happen again. She could already see herself sinking them into the Ice Witch's face as her boyfriend watched.

Allison rubbed her hand after Wanda stormed off with Pietro in tow. Thankfully, Guin seemed to bring him back to his senses, though the poor guy still looked lost. "As I am sure Guin already told you, this reality is not real. Or rather, it is not the original reality. We have just confirmed that your sister changed it to this with one of the biggest reasons being that she wanted you closer to her and not part of the X-Men. In the original reality, you joined us and she didn't handle it well."

Allison thought for a few moments. She looked over to Oshea, thankful he stuck around and was, more or less, on board with all of this. "As we are right now, we can't hope to change reality back without her. So we need to find her or find someone just as, if not more, powerful with the ability to alter this reality back to the original. As for those options, I am at a loss. The only thing I have left is possibly trying to get a vision and see if that gives us leads. But you're the scientific one Guin, surely you know some way to fix this?"

It seemed they had a solid lead. Find Pietro, find Wanda. "I guess it would matter if he knew she changed all of this or not. I imagine she kept him in the dark. All of this just to have your brother. Their bond must be pretty solid then. Well, either way, we figured it out. We should see about getting him and having him lead us to her."

As if on cue, Klara showed up and offered them a way back. "Solid lead for sure. Let's get back and regroup with the others then and tell them what we found. They will want to know. Use the ring and let's get out of here before they come in to check and find the lot of us standing around in the princess' bedroom." Tinley gave a cursory glance at Goose, thankful Klara had a handle on him before she waited for transport.

She didn't much enjoy this obvious teaming up against her. If they wanted to lie and be secretive about it, that was their prerogative and she had to give credit to them. That didn't mean she had to enjoy it though. "Far be it from me to question why you would hide our goal after finding it. After all, if you did have it that would be mission success and we could get out of here, heads held high. But if you don't have it, you don't have it. So where is it then?"

She knew they had it on them. She would find a way to get it later. For now, she would play along with their game. They had to have a reason for hiding it from her. She supposed they didn't trust her too much and she could hardly blame them. She was still new to the Thieve's Guild. And if this was as powerful as spoken of, then maybe they didn't trust it in her hands. They would be right, of course. But still, it stung a bit.

Bella hadn't seen Demetria walk in. She hadn't expected anyone to be here other than herself. The others weren't much for training as far as she saw. Well, that wasn't true. Evelina surely used the room. Perhaps Bobbi, when she found the time. "Sure." Simple response, but she was bored and had nothing planned as of right now. She could use the activity. Plus, it would make for some interesting training, considering she had never fought against the woman before.

She walked back to the center of the room and spun to face her. "So, powers or no? I'm good with whatever you prefer but know I won't hold back just because we are on a team. Need to make sure if you have my back in a combat scenario that you can hold your own." She had no doubt the woman could, but if one limited their combat prowess to only using their mutant abilities, that made them weak. You needed to know what to do in case you couldn't use your powers or only had your hands.

She waited for her response, but she was ready to face her whenever she wanted. This was going to be fun, at least.

DttS In-Between: Soon, the world around them dissolved into nothingness and then into somethingness. Or, at least something resembling a world, but it was unlike that of which she was just in and now Josephine felt very alone. She had traveled and came to know Haakon until he was gone. Then she managed to find someone in Reddish who disappeared as well. Now she was with this woman who, slowly, was irritating her with her overall demeanor. She wanted to shake the woman, but she thought better of it. They would have to work together now if they had any hope of making through whatever the hell this was.

Jo stood up now and took in her surroundings. She saw the figure as well and before she could rationalize it, Mosi began screaming and freaking out. Again, Jo fought off the urge to give the woman a hard slap across the cheeks. ”Darling, do be quiet for a couple of minutes, please? I imagine screaming at the thing, real or not, would not make the situation better.” Jo took an uneasy step towards it, but it did not move. Whatever it was, it was as if Death himself was standing before her.

But to that end, she began to hear other voices. She saw that they were not along anymore. It appeared some of the others she knew had joined them, along with some she did not recognize.

Dtts In-Between: Faye felt overwhelmed at the sheer amount of work being done, but it soon unraveled around her. She moved to move. It was better to try than to accept defeat, but even then, she knew it was only a matter of time (ironic really) that it all soon dissolved. They were left in a place she did not recognize. It seemed whatever spell that had hooked them was completed and they were now here. Wherever here was.

”I do believe we are now where that spell meant for us to go. I do not recognize this place, but we are not in Arthribis anymore. Of that I am sure.” Faye spun around and caught two women she did not recognize. Or rather, one she had a faint recalling of seeing before, but she was sure she did not know her. The women seemed to gaze at something and Faye turned to see a skeletal figure, scythe in hand. It appeared to be Death, but it did not move, despite having ample targets nearby for him.

She recalled what she could about something like it and came to a conclusion. ”That appears to be a statue of some sort. Or whatever a statue could be wherever we are. It has not moved so I believe its sole purpose is to stand there and look scary. A job well done, as far as I know. Now, do you have some knowledge as to where we are now, Emendator?” she asked of Gene or whatever her true name was. Hopefully, the woman had answers.

The In-Between: Shores of the River -> Evelina's Cave: Faith caught her breath again and stood up, clutching the bag she had on her. ”I think you’d rather like what I had to sell. It’s apparently full of weapons against the various Kin of the time period and, by the looks of things, the realm I was just in. Unsure if it will be useful here, but a girl does like to have her accessories.” She left it at that, both glad to see Eve and a bit pissed off that the woman had ran off to be here of all places.

She followed though. She imagined Eve knew where she was going. They came to a cave that looked like Eve had inhabited it for a bit now. A fire was set up and Faith stepped over to it to dry off from her recent swim. ”Yeah well, you should know by now that it will take a lot more than that to kill me a second time.” Faith had a lot of questions. Most of which was: was she still meant to save her? Or the other way around?

”Do pardon me saying so but your vacation home is a piece of crap. I don’t suppose you wish to share why you up and abandoned all of us back home without a word. And yes, I said home, because that is what it was. I never felt like I truly belonged until I became a Paradox and now, here I am, tasked with saving you when it doesn’t look like you even want to be saved. So, what is this place and why am I here now?”
