Once everyone had gathered on the roof, it was clear the battle was far from over as a multitude of Surfer clones flew around. Invisible Woman looked hurt and Allison felt a small kinship with the woman. They shared a similar powerset, after all. Still, everyone had managed to turn the tide. Someone had called forth a legion of robots to aid them. Allison assumed it was Guin, which meant she was back and, hopefully, managing herself with Pietro.

Sara came up and stood by Neil, aware that the boy was probably in a mood. She would have to talk to him later, but for now, they had some Surfers and a World Eater to deal with. Thankfully, people managed to bash clones and the robots helped a lot. Soon, the clones were being picked off one by one. Sara had to wonder just what Surfer's deal was. He hadn't seemed to really be a bad person. He saved her life after all.

Allison heard Guin. The real one was hurting, but soon the tide was in their favor. "The clones are taken care of for the most part and the real one is more or less stopped. Let's end the world ender." And that was the moral question. Did they destroy the giant who took planets, destroyed all but some life forms, and kept those forms in prison on his ship? Or did they let him go after striking a blow at him? And if they did destroy him, what of those aliens on the ship?

Sara didn't much care. The World Eater deserved any recompense given to him. "Just say the world faithful leader and let's get him." Sara had directed that to no one in particular, even though Mary was technically their leader, but it could just as easily be Mr. Fantastic. He was, after all, part of the team that sent them all on this suicide mission. Sara was just hankering for the final battle to commence.

Pandora felt a bit off about the whole thing. She knew what her mother was getting at but even she had to admit this was stretching things a bit too far. "Mother, really. Perfect strangers asking someone to get into the car with them. Honestly, she means well I assure you, she's too good for this Earth my dad always said. I'm sure we can give you the address. Mother, surely there is something else you can do for them?"

The hint was given. This was sketchy. If her mother wanted to take these girls to who knew where, she would have to be a bit more sneaky about it. Pandora was all for the plan but the girls were smart enough to know this seemed odd at best. Hopefully their act was enough to get them by until something else could be done.

Tinley felt the crushing weight as her leg was broken. She bit her lip, trying to force the vehicle off of them before Flynn phased it off, allowing her to crawl away. "Thanks Flynn." It was all that needed to be said. Flynn was a hot-head, an asshole, and a jerk, but he was still a good agent. Capable. He just needed to work on his attitude. And hell, maybe she did too.

That didn't matter now though, the team had managed to take care of Corpus. Bonnie distracted him and Matt finished him off. She could tell the two of them had been through a lot and as much as she wanted to check-in, they still had a mission. The guards that came out had perished, but there would be more inside and she didn't feel right blasting in to get Thane, possibly injuring more people. The sooner they got Thane out, the better. "Brilliant work team. We can't stop now. Next, we go in to get Thane. I'm going to pretend to be an associate from another prison here to transfer Thane with the help of SHIELD. That way, you guys don't have to pretend to be someone else. Just back up my story and we can get Thane out of here quickly."

Tinley walked, or rather hobbled, her way into the prison. It hurt with every step, but there was no time to see to it and Tempest was elsewhere. Once inside, she hailed the nearest guards. She disguised her accent, to add a cherry on top. "Hello. My name is Veronica Peterson. I believe you all should have been made aware of me coming but I can imagine it got lost in transit. I'll fire my assistant first thing. Be that as it may, I am here to take Thane di Angelo into a facility better equipped to handle him. Not to say you all have been doing a poor job, but Mr. di Angelo has more of a need in a higher-leveled facility. If you would be so kind as to gather him for transport, me and the agents from SHIELD here will see to his transfer. Also, if someone is capable of giving me a pain-killer or something. The attack outside injured my leg."

Tempest stared down Thanos as he did so with Oliver. The battle had been won, for now, but it seemed as if the war was far from over. Even though some of their enemies were taken care of, Thanks still had intentions with Thane, which meant the other team was in for a fight. Hopefully, they would manage. Once she was sure Oliver was all right, she assessed the others. Cassandra and Maria were doing ok (or as ok as Cass could be with her sickness). It was Sparky she was worried about.

After all, the woman just found out the man she loved, the man there, was a Skrull. He had been lying to all of them, but most notably her. And Tempest could tell it hurt more than anything. She wasn't the best with emotions. Hell, she couldn't tell the guy she liked he was cute, but she decided the best thing she could do was be there. "Umm Sparky? I know anything I say probably won't make a difference, but I am truly sorry. I didn't want to say it, but I figured everyone had a right to know. If you need a moment, fine, but we do need to keep going." She let the hidden message lay there. Sparky was still sick.

"We need to go see the others then. Hopefully, they can get Thane quickly before Thanos does something else."

Georgina watched as Mary was able to pull the memory out and hand it off. She gave credit to Mary, doing that was dangerous and a simple slip-up could be bad. Apollo and Artemis seemed better, but they could all do with some rest, but even she had to admit she would be having trouble sleeping tonight. She had never seen someone die in front of her before and she wasn't going to pretend (to herself anyway) that it didn't impact her. Especially as it was an Auror.

And speaking of, Callum came in quickly. She, assumed, to check on them. She wasn't about to admit she snuck out to help and already knew about the death and the capture. Before she could speak, she heard a sound coming from Mary's bag. She had mentioned it before, she was sure. The sneakoscope in her belongings was still going off. If the Death Eater was taken care of, then surely it would stop making noise.

There had to be another Death Eater on board. Who was it? She didn't want to lump Callum in with the suspects, but she couldn't be 100% sure. "Thanks Uncle Callum. We're fine. You may want to go check on your companions." Callum winced and nodded, rubbing his temple as he exited the compartment. Once she felt he was safely gone, she turned to the others. "There's another Death Eater on board. There has to be. The question is, do they know?"

Before they pulled up into the strip mall, Leighton's mind felt tingly as Max connected with her thoughts. She felt a bit stupid, not realizing that of course, they would keep tabs on her phone. Still, she didn't care at this point, so long as Desiree was safe. She didn't know if Veil was listening or not, but at least Max was. And yet, the question he asked threw her. What did he mean by "other reality"? "I'm afraid you lost me, Max. Don't know about this other reality Wanda created. Sounds like the inspiration for a sci-fi novel. But that's not why I wanted to connect with Veil."

"I don't know if she can hear me, but I have someone with me that the Hellfire Circle wanted me to pick up to bring to them. I don't trust them to have their best interests at heart with her and she's already scared and on the run. I wanted to bring her to the underground to have a safe place to stay before she decides what she wants to do. I know they moved from the old underground, but she needs to lay low. If Veil can hear me, we'll swing by the old underground and meet up and you can take her in if you want. If she can't hear me, Max, can you like...magic up a note in her hand or something? And you can meet us there too if you want, Max. I don't think we'll be welcomed at the Hellfire Circle for much longer if Jinx has anything to say."

With that sent, she turned to face Desiree. "I promised you a cup of coffee and I plan to deliver it. We can stop at Dunkin' and I can answer any question you have, but then we need to get going. I guarantee if they haven't already got someone else to try to find you, they'll have that other guy come back."

Ana thought a bit. It sounded like Jinx and Ice Queen had separated and that Ice Queen had the target. Which more than likely meant that Jinx screwed up. And it showed that Ice Queen could be trusted, to an extent. Reeva didn't though as she instructed Pyro to tail them. What was the saying? If you can't get something done right, do it yourself? She didn't trust anyone to see this through and if they wanted the target here in one piece, she would see that done.

She stood up as Reeva began to leave. "I'll come with Pyro, to oversee things. Ensure they come back in one piece. Wouldn't want any damaged property." And, she had to admit, she was rather curious why this target was so important. They could pluck anyone off the street easily enough for their means. What did this one offer? Ana looked forward to finding out.

Belladonna

Location: Unknown -> Hobo Camp
Skills: N/A

Bella followed the others, keeping an eye on Longshot. She still didn't trust the man. Part of what this world showed her is that not everything was as it seemed. For all she knew, he was leading them right into a trap. They were in the sewer system, after all. Perfect place for an ambush. She scanned her surroundings though. Nothing felt off to her. Soon, they came upon the ladder. Bella considered Longshot's words before she let everyone else climb up first. Then, she followed suit.

Once above, she saw what appeared to be a hobo camp. She was not unfamiliar with the site itself. She had, after all, killed the man who was, by all intents and purposes, her father. And she was never placed in the system, never brought to an orphanage, never adopted by loving parents. She took to the streets which meant she spent a decent amount of time in camps like this. It could be a home unlike anything else or a prison, depending on who asked.

Bella didn't want to stay here, per se, but it could be worse. "I'll go with the perimeter set-up. I know a bit about how these types of camps run."

Sara was a bit miffed her call to action wasn't addressed (not really) and was pretty much shot down, but if what Bethany said was true, then the real Surfer was up on the roof. And with Guin calling for robots to aid them in battle, hopefully, the copies would be held back while they took care of it. Neil and Iris were quickly swept up with Lance and, in a blink, poofed. Sar immediately panicked. The Surfer saw through it and sent a shard at Lance, piercing him. He said to keep going up, so that's what they should do.

Sara noticed that Mary was able to hold the Surfer back nicely with her vines. She copied her powers, looking forward to using them. She summoned spikes and sent them flying towards the phasing Surfer. At first, they wouldn't launch, but then she was able to send them flying, hitting the Silver Surfer. After, The Surfer began to fall. Granted, it was most likely a copy, but they were able to continue going up.

Allison prepared herself for the fight to come. All it took was a trip to the roof. "We're coming up to the final battle. Everyone ready?" She wasn't ready herself, but she still had to do. She summoned her telekinesis to aid her in flight and began to ascend to the roof. Sara followed suit, with her Iron Man suit, and they rose up. Sara wanted to get up to the roof to see Neil.

Hopefully once on the roof, they would tackle Galactus and the Silver Surfer, but they were a small band versus the world eater. Nullifier or not, it was still a big task. And if they failed, that was it. But they faced world-ending situations before. Filled with newfound confidence, Allison spun a bit for flourish, laughing a bit as she did so. Ever the optimist, everyone began to make their way to the roof for the finale.

Pandora didn't know what her mother's plan was, but she doubted it was for anything good. So far the girls seemed to be buying it. Really this was an easy con. Far beneath her skills. "Oh yeah, yikes. Cracked phone. I can't count on both hands the number of times I drop the darn thing. It always costs so much to get that extra insurance, but considering the damage we do to our phones, it kind of seems worth it." She gave a warm smile before her mother offered to take them.

That was random and, if she were in their shoes, she wouldn't just leave with a stranger. But Pandora was close to their age. "Oh yeah, I know the place. They do such a good job of repairing damage. Super quick too." She didn't want to add any more than needed. Still, she wondered if her mom had a back-plan in case this didn't work.

Ana gave Reeva a warm smile that didn't quite meet her eyes. Soon, she figured, she would no longer be a problem. But up until then, she would have to play nice. "Of course. Holiday stuff and all that, slept quite late last night." Which wasn't technically a lie. She was planning holiday things, just not in the sense of Holly Jolly. She gave a sideways glance at Polaris before she made her way over to a chair and sat down.

Both Jink and Leighton were out in the field and, judging by the sounds of things, were not doing a good job. She figured Jinx would muck things up but Leighton had some potential there. Still, what good would it be for her to jump in and save them? They needed to learn harsh lessons about all of this real quick if they had any hopes of staying in the Hellfire Club when she eventually took over. "Keep me updated on the situation, but let's let them figure it out for themselves." Ana ignored the fake compliment. She knew her skills, knew her worth. She didn't need validation from some her.

---

Meanwhile, as Desiree drove to their destination, Leighton pulled out her phone and shot off a text to Max.

"Hey Max, quick update. Got a mission from the higher-ups to find a girl named Desiree and bring her back. Jinx tried to get her away from me, which I took to mean bad times. So I found her and we are together. I'm taking her to the Underground to have a safe place so she can make a decision for herself. I don't know about you, but I'm not helping the HC take in another person against their will. Can you contact Veil and tell her I'm on my way?"

Tempest smiled at Oli, seeing him joke around made her feel better despite the circumstances slowly going to hell. She flipped off the one guy who chided her before hopping into the portal Strange made. And soon, she was called t action again as Raynor had a spear driven through his throat, unleashing Sparky. Tempest stood and ran over to check on Raynor. He was alive still but was slowly going. She began to heal him, focusing all her energy on his body. Soon, she noticed the wounds begin to close. Before she could continue though, her eyes noticed something else. As the wound closed, Raynor's skin changed.

It began to turn green.

The wound reopened and Tempest knelt there, stunned. If that was the case then Raynor was....

Tinley wasn't surprised to see Flynn go in after Bonnie through the portal. Hell, she would have been concerned if he hadn't. Still, the plan was going to shit which just figured. Still, she needed to be there to take on Thane, but Raynor also needed help. Tinley saw Tempest run over to heal. Tinley made her way over to the portal, but Tempest shot up quickly.

"Raynor's a Skrull!"

Tinley shot back quickly. "He's what?!?" She had to be joking, but Tempest looked serious. Tinley glanced at Raynor (or was he?) and she kicked herself. "Shit! Screw it then. Focus on ensuring everyone else is healed, I'm going after the others. Strange, either come in after or close it once I'm through, we don't need anyone else following us. Everyone else, either come with or hold these guys back." And she hopped through the portal. Tempest looked back at Raynor and then backed away towards Oliver again.

---

Once through the portal, Tinley checked the surroundings. Bonnie looked a bit shaken, but Flynn was with her. A burning body was nearby with Matt seemingly taking care of it. "I missed the party then, it seems. Raynor turned out to be a Skrull. Got injured and Tempest healed him only to find that out. The mission doesn't change though, we go find Thane before the Order does."
