Pandora felt in the boy a kindred spirit. After all, she had been adopted too. She didn't give two licks about her real parents though. After all, they most likely didn't care about her if they left her to be adopted by someone else. Pandora took the kid's hand with a firm shake. "Pandora. Pleasure." With pleasantries out of the way, she enjoyed the remaining bits of her candy bar before she helped herself to a soda can.

"Far be it from me to tell you what to do kid, but I was adopted also. I don't really care to know who my real parents were or are. If they are still alive, they haven't bothered to reach out so screw them. And if they are dead well...what good is it to know that? You have that option and I don't know your adoptive parents, but I know parents screw up. They may just be trying their best. Cut them some slack. Ultimately, the choice is yours."

She sipped her soda, waiting to hear what Tristan thought. She didn't know why she was still there. The kid was kind of growing on her.

As they rode there, Tempest's thoughts raced back to Oliver. "Hey so, I know this is not the best time to bring it up, but it's the holidays and that always has me feeling warm and fuzzy, but what do you make of that guy Oliver. Cute huh?" It hadn't even dawned on Tempest that she was asking Tinley, her boss essentially, this. Tinley focused on driving but gave a slight shrug. "The new guy? Or one of them anyway. He's a hacker type, right? I don't know, cute enough I guess. Not my type, but he seems like yours."

Tinley had bad luck with relationships. Often the men she dated didn't like having a powerful woman. They either wanted her to have a career, but only if it was less than theirs, or they wanted her to be a housewife. Expected it of her really. And Tinley would never be such. It was why she had thought about adoption. She had always wanted kids. Still did, but she didn't see the need to include anyone else in the mix, especially one who expected her to form into their own mold.

"I mean, I've dated here and there with techy types. Or rather we talked online, but there's a difference when you actually see them and realize it's not some troll living in his mother's basement. Also what is the policy on inter-office dating anyway?" Tinley fought the urge to laugh. "Truth be told, I don't know. I never expected it to come up, but I am willing to bet it is frowned upon. But fuck it, it's the holidays. I say go for it."

Tempest grinned as they pulled up to the park. It was relatively empty, which made sense given the time of year. They both stepped off, waiting for the others. "Ok, he's not here yet. Keep the bikes more or less away from each other so as not to tip him off. I want people on all exits. I don't want to give him a chance to escape, but remain close to your vehicles just in case. Also, I assume Raynor and Sparky will follow suit, so someone try to fill them in. Otherwise, remain hidden until we get him."

Leighton Brooks

Location: The Cherry Bomb - Wardrobe Suite

Leighton listened to her aunt's words and she had a hard time refuting any claim she had. The sheer idea of a place where mutants could live out their lives without fear of persecution. Of death and destruction. It seemed almost too good to be true. And if what her aunt was saying was true, then humans could also live and would not be harmed. Max seemed skeptical though, which was probably smart. "If you want me, you take Max too. We are a team. He was there for me from the get-go, whereas my own family abandoned me and didn't think to reveal themselves until right now. So if he wishes to speak, he will."

Her mind struggled. Where should she go? She had no ties holding her to the Underground. They may have provided her a home, but even then it wasn't as if they accepted her with open arms. She still imagined Erg and what he would do. He deserved to see mutants live without fear, without needing to be in the sewers. So perhaps her aunt had the right idea.

"All right. I decided. I'll come to see you, but as I said, we are a team. Max comes with me. And I reserve the right to leave if I do not feel it is my place. Do we have a deal, aunt Emma?"

Anastasia Reinhardt

With everything almost quite literally burning around her, it seemed Ksenia, or whoever he was now, had reverted to a form of a small child. Ana rubbed her temples as Jinx sparred with words and was knocked out. However, to his credit, he seemed to disorient them a bit, which she would use to her advantage. She called out to Valentine, "If you wish to remain free and not somewhere worse off than you were, I suggest you keep an eye on your brother and fight back."

Ana faced off against them now. She struggled a bit, but she managed to latch on to Maria's devices in her ear and yank them out. She quickly entered the girl's subconscious and shifted her morals around. Maria would now be on Ana's side. Once that was done, she returned her view to the fire guy and entered his mind as well, shifting things around. Flynn would be on Ana's side as well. With two of their numbers on her side for now, she felt a bit better about her chances, but she was prepared to retreat if need be.

With the others seemingly coming down off their arguments, it wasn't long until they were joined by yet another new face, but one the two women from before seemed to know. and Psylocke. Had they sent an entire team to track them here? The woman was going to stop at nothing to get them to go back. It only solidified Bella's own resolve that she would not return and would, in fact, be the instrument in Serval's demise. Now they just had to get Andrew.

However, before she could move, the room shifted all around them and they were face to face with a T-Rex. Now, Bella wasn't stupid. It seemed clear to her that this was not real. The room shifting itself and a long-extinct animal now appearing, but even illusions could be deadly. Bella took out her weapons, imbuing them with fire. Her sword didn't catch, but her gun did. She shot off once, missing and going wide. But her second shot hit the animal in the eye as the others began to battle it too.

"That thing cannot be real. We need to break the illusion if we want to get out of here." Staying calm was also crucial, but no one seemed to be panicking. Much.

The teams satisfied her and she was happy to be working alongside Guin. Guin also had a good idea. She was about to embark on a mission to save the world again. This time, the stakes were higher than ever. She should give Oshea a call. She squeezed Guin's hand before she turned to make the call. She left a voicemail message for him.

"Hey Oshea. I'm about to go on a mission with the others to take on Galactus. In space. Yeah, pretty cool, I know. I wanted to tell you that this is going to be very dangerous. You know the drill. World saving, possible destruction of all we know. Typical Thursday. But it is important we do this. I wanted to let you know I love you and I will see you when we save the world."

After hanging up, she returned to the others. "Ok, since we are splitting up, what's the overall gameplan for our team?"

Sara Grey

Sara sneered as Mary went off. She gave a mock salute with a bow. "Of course, illustrious leader. Forgive me for thinking we need to have some alternative on the off chance this all goes to hell like every other mission we have had. What would we do without your leadership? I shall follow your command, oh Captain my Captain." Sarcasm oozing off her words, she turned away from Mary, ignoring whatever retort the girl would have for her. She would go along with the mission because she knew she had to if there was any hope of stopping this, but it was stupid in her opinion to not have some other option should things not go to plan up there. Even something simple.

Neil followed her and she took a deep breath, calming herself down. "I am not leadership material, but yeah, I'll copy your powers to have that as a back-up. Other than that we go up, try to find this thing, save the world. Easy right?" She shrugged, but she knew it was more than that. There were so many factors and things that could go wrong. She didn't know what to expect.

Myth looked over to Cuyler with a slight shrug, "He's right. Once I am safely sure that I can bring him around without fear of something happening, I'll take him out more. You're right though, he would enjoy all of this." Thankful to have her family and friends nearby, she glanced around, wondering where a stone of this magnitude would be hidden. Would it be easily spotted even? The chance of someone finding it easily did sound like something the trickster god would do.

"Let's split up and cover more ground in the stands then. Want to come with me, love?" she asked Bruce before making her way over to the stands area, keeping an eye out for the stone. There were to be a lot of people here. If Bruce was right and something went wrong, it would be a lot of people possibly getting hurt. They would need to find this stone quickly then before something dangerous happened. She wanted a day without needing to worry, but she knew that was fantasy talk.

Fleur La Mallificum

Location: The Forest
Skills: N/A

Fleur was a realist. She knew that she had a large force and it would be silly of her to assume any of them would hold back to ensure innocent people got out safely. But she also was not a monster. "With war, there come casualties. It is as much a fact of life as needing air to breathe. I will do my best to ensure innocent lives are not lost this day, but then you must also realize that it cannot be helped in every situation. I agree with your sentiment though. We attack swiftly before the games. It is best you prepare yourself, we move soon."

She left to go converse with the forces, making note to try not to take innocent lives, but to defend themselves should anything happen. She was not stupid. She knew that these games would be a public event and there could already be so many people there in anticipation. But today was the day and she would not put it off any longer.

Once she was satisfied, she returned and prepared herself. She said a small prayer to Nera for strength, clutching the Time stone she had on her. It would be back-up, should anything go wrong. She did not want to rely on it, considering she knew there were those that were aware she had it who would like nothing more than to take it from her.

Pandora watched as the kid did as she asked, distracting the janitor. She quickly pulled out her lockpick and got to work on the machine. She struggled at first, slipping a bit and cursing under her breath. It almost didn't seem worth it to her, but she also had a sense of pride in her work. So she tried again, feeling the tumblers inside click in place and releasing the door. She held it shut so it didn't swing open, in case the janitor looked over here. She gave the kid a thumbs up to let him know he could stop and come back.

She reached inside to pick her own prize, settling on a candy bar. She bit into it with relish as she waited for her friend to return. Once he did so, she allowed him the spoils. "Take your pick kid. Thanks for the assist." She finished her bar before she threw the wrapper away. "Couldn't help hearing your argument with your folks. Hard not to with these walls. Everything cool?"

Mona sat along with her siblings as they announced the plans for Ash. She was a bit taken aback hearing that they would be investigating why her skeleton suddenly did what it did. She had assumed it was a tragic accident, but could someone have altered it to kill Ash? And if so, who? Was it someone at camp or an outside force? She didn't much relish the idea that someone there would intentionally kill another, but then again these were the children of gods. Was that how they handled problem campers?

There was also talk about missions to go on. She wasn't the child of any of the gods listed so it seemed she would be joining the others to Camp Jupiter. She stood up and walked over to the others. It would be a large group going. Seemed overkill to her, but then again this was her first "mission". Perhaps it was always like this. "Anything to expect from Camp Jupiter? Are they a camp like us?" she asked Theresa.

Tinley Abercrombie and Tempest Renroir

Location: The Common Room - the Hub -> the Garage
Skills: Hacking

Tempest watched with a small amount of wonder as Oliver tried his hand at hacking to get Spider-Man's phone number. She was impressed that anyone would give it a shot apart from her. Far from jealous really, she was curious to see what his hacking skills were like. It had been a long time since she met anyone on league with her own skills. And judging from the phone call that soon followed afterward from an angry Iron Man, she still hadn't. But still, she found herself eyeing the guy in a new light. Was he always this cute?

She walked over to him and took his phone, seeing the number. "Let me show you how a real hacker gets it done, handsome." She handed the phone back and got on her own, clicking through it and forming a dummy message to send to Deadpool through Spider-Man's number. She typed it up quickly.

-"Deadpool. Look, I know I haven't made it easy and it has taken me a while to come to terms with it, but I think I am finally ready to accept what was clearly in front of me. I am in San Fransisco for the holidays and I want to see you. Meet me at Golden Bay park in 10 minutes. I'll be waiting. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman"

Tempest finished with a flourish. "I sent him a spoof message from Spider-Man. Told him to meet up with him at Golden Bay park in 10 minutes so if we hurry we can beat him there and ambush him."

Tinley was impressed with the skill displayed thus far from her team. She made her way to the garage along with the others. As they picked their vehicles, Tinley got on one of the motorcycles and revved it alive. "Ok, we get there and ambush him and get those gifts back. I don't want civilian casualties so powers kept to a minimum if they involve shooting out something. Same with guns. Make the shot count. Tempest, you're with me. The rest? Get paired up and let's get going."

Tempest hopped on the back and gripped Tinley's waist as Tinley floored the cycle to the streets and made a break for Golden Bay Park.

Bella sheathed her sword finally as her group bickered amongst themselves. She rubbed the bridge of her nose. Adding fuel to the fire would be pointless at this stage. All of them were acting stupid and they were some of the brightest minds. "If you could stop arguing and let's focus on why we are here. Regardless of these two and whoever else is here, we came to find Andrew and I am not leaving until I get answers. And when I do leave I will not be walking back to Serval's clutches, so if you intend to take me you will have to do it by force and I will not hold back, intentions be damned."

She heard footsteps along with the other girls as Watts instructed them to move out of the doorway. Was it more people trying to find them or was it someone else? Or was it that hooded man from before? Either way, Bella took her sword out again and prepared for the arrival of the unexplained visitor. She glanced at her team, wondering if they would put aside their differences and arguments to come out of this and find Andrew.
