Pandora had expected it would come to this as the girls were trapped by her mother. Convincing them was out the window now. It was by force. Was she ok with this? She had only met her mother and, by all counts, Merlin had tried to keep her away. Pandora was out for herself, above all else. Before she could speak, the girls freed themselves and ran off to the ranger station.

"Nice magic skills there mother. They freed themselves easily. I suggest you use your magic to either make it impossible for them to leave or stop them now before they tell someone two women tried to lure them in their car to parts unknown. I would but I don't have powers. Yet." She crossed her arms, waiting to see what her mother would do. "If they do manage to get help I can talk our way out of it, so don't do anything rash."

Allison was mildly embarrassed she just admitted the last time she pooped, but it could be worse. Everyone had admitted it to some form. She sat at the table as Neil set the game up, drawing the first black card. [i]Bitches be...[/b] She kind of wished she could play this round rather than judge, she had some decent cards. She looked over her companions for the game, eager to see what they would play. Her sense of humor wasn't well known, but she enjoyed something dark.

Not as much as Sara did though as she scoured her cards. There was one she particularly liked but wanted to save since it was so perfect. Mutants with actual medical conditions and no powers. It fit here, but she didn't know if Allison would appreciate the humor. Barbie seemed like she might enjoy something else. Instead, Sara opted for Natural Selection. It was kind of funny, she figured Allison would get it and enjoy it. She took the card and set it down.

Allison wondered if Thor would get the humor on some of these cards. He tended to be literal, though his time in the Avengers did get him acquainted with life here and not on Asgard. She stared at the hammer, the thing that Thor seemed to be transfixed to before. Maybe this would get him to open up more and enjoy himself? He did a stellar job officiating the wedding. Allison also wondered how Guin was doing. She would check on her friend later.

Sara, after playing her card, reached over and squeezed Neil's hands. She was proud of him and how open he was being. This wasn't D&D, this was human interaction on a pretty intense level. This game showed you how people thought, what they thought was funny, and what they might be uncomfortable with. No one threw their cards away in a huff, so it seemed people were, more or less, inclined to continue plying despite how dirty and raunchy this game could get. Thor especially. She was chomping at the bit wondering what he would play.

Leighton felt the snake coiled around her, pinning her to the ground. She couldn't move and she cursed Pyro, the fucking maniac. She tried to form ice in her center to freeze it off to no avail. Her injuries were getting the best of her. She kept trying, but it was of no use. She could feel her energy draining away. With what little strength she had, she formed ice on her hand and reached for the snake. She managed to touch it and freeze part of it, but everything else was still fire.

Ana shook her head in disbelief. Jinx feeling he was in any way useful amused and surprised her. He was the one who had previously fucked up. If anyone was in danger of being on Reeva's radar, it was him. She let it slide though. She needed him, as painful as that was to admit, especially as the police had arrived, much like she said they would. Pyro was acting hysterical and his wound was opening back up. Ana tried to send her control out to the officers, to no avail. Whatever Jinx had done must be affecting her. Idiot.

She turned to Pyro, using her TK to close his wound. She managed to close it off easily this time. "Do try to be more careful. You have a wound that needs to be patched up. We should take care of the officers outside. Not like she can do much in there." Ana faced the outside, seeing and hearing the explosion of one of their cars. This could have all easily been avoided, but she supposed it was bound to happen as she was paired with two incompetent individuals with a knack for destruction.

Leighton, with all she had left, sent out a mental message to Max. She hoped she could get it out in time. "Max, I'm sorry I'm not there. The Hellfire Club found me and Desiree at the Dunkin' Donuts we stopped at. She's been killed and I am greatly injured. If you check police scanners, I am sure you can get an accurate read as to which one we are at. If I don't make it out of this, it was wonderful meeting and working with you." She struggled again to no use. This felt like it was the end. She hoped for a hail Mary but figured her luck had run out.

Location: Dumbledore's Office -> Hufflepuff Common Room
Magic: N/A

With all said and done, Georgina stood up and left Dumbledore's office. She would have waited for Artemis before she walked back to the commons, but he would be a while and Georgina wanted to get a head start in planning her work. Not only was she taking a lot of classes, preparing herself to become an Auror (she would have to study up really hard in order to pass), she was now part of a secret society given by Dumbledore himself. She bid farewell to her friends, noting to Artemis she would meet with him later.

She walked the corridors until she got to the basement. There, she located the barrels. Two from the bottom, she tapped it lightly in the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff. As the entrance opened, she stepped inside, aware that she would have to remain quiet about all of this. She didn't want to disappoint Dumbledore or her friends. Even the others in the group, Paige of all people, she wanted to impress.

She sat in one of the chairs, both waiting for Artemis to come back and taking out one of her schoolbooks and began to read.

Arthur's story, as Sapphire had said, was more interesting. And it made sense as to just how deep his anger was. Bella could only agree with his point of view. She also understood Andrew's plight and how Watts was feeling. She wanted to ensure it would all be all right, but she couldn't promise that. There was danger in any plan. She only felt like it would all go downhill anyway so she may as well charge in headfirst and get it done quickly. Stealth had never really worked up until this point.

"I can go first. I'm expendable." She could use her powers to protect herself to an extent, but even then there was danger. But she wouldn't stand idly by anymore. She was done with all of this. "Just tell me what needs to be done and I'll do it. I'm tired of standing around and talking. Let's take action." She figured out of everyone, she stood just as likely a chance at completing this, even though she knew very little about explosives. They went boom and destroyed things easily and that was all she needed to consider.

Watts might not like it though. But Watts didn't have a choice in the matter. He would have to deal with it.

Location: Hub: The Hangar
Skills: N/A

Tinley felt an odd comfort at seeing Cass take the reigns of leadership. If she was being honest with herself, she had felt pride at having been given the position over her. Being as young and inexperienced as she was, she wanted the chance to prove herself. She felt she was a good leader, even if the others didn't see that. Leaders had to make tough calls and she did so. She wasn't perfect by any stretch and she made mistakes. Perhaps this would give her the chance to show she really wanted it.

For now, she was injured. Dallsey was taken care of, more or less, and Hill still needed to be found. "Appreciate the concern Agent Reed. Nice work." She waited for Strange to help her to get to the lab. She looked at Dallsey, wondering what had driven her apart from needing to see Agent Bautista. That was a question for later, though. For now, things were more or less under control, though that wouldn't last for very long.

Location: Hub: Virology Lab -> Fury's Panic Room

Tempest had eyed the woman on the security screen. She didn't know who she was, but that hadn't mattered that much as it looked like the others took care of her. Their attention was on Sparky, who was now being injected with Wolverine's blood, and Oliver, who had his world ruptured. Hearing Oliver speak about Cardiff, how Thanos destroyed it, pained her too. She couldn't imagine how Oliver was handling it all.

Tempest watched Bonnie work, there if she needed her. Without Strange, there was precious little they could do. Tempest couldn't heal Sparky of the M-Pox, but she could make the process more comfortable. As Sparky lay on the bed, Tempest imbued her healing magic on her. Sparky would feel a lot better. Not cured, not completely, but her symptoms would feel better than they had in the past. Tempest felt a surge of pride as she did so.

"We'll have more to help in a minute, but hopefully that will make you feel better Sparky." She gave the woman a compassionate smile before she checked to see how Oliver was doing.

Pandora could only watch in both concern and amusement as her mother essentially set a fire near a forest. The girls were, rightly, shocked and the ranger sprung into action. She didn't know what the next step of the plan was, but the girls couldn't drive away or call for help, though it seemed help would be arriving soon, so whatever they intended to do, they needed to do it quickly.

"Ok, they are running off most likely. Are you ambushing them? Also, you know you set a fire close to the woods right? Like, I'm not an environmentalist by any stretch but even I am not as bold as to set a forest fire only to kidnap girls and that sentence sounds wrong. Just...put a spell on them quickly before their help arrives." Pandora wasn't feeling this anymore. The sooner they got what they came for, the better.

Allison noticed Neil and Sara make their way to Thor and Mira followed. Allison followed closely after to see what was up. As she approached, she heard Neil speak up about a card game and asked Thor if he wanted to join. Allison found it kind of cute that Neil seemed to be breaking out of his shell, even just a little bit. Sara must be rubbing off on him. Or his time with them was helping. Either way, she was happy to see the growth.

Sara held in her laughter hearing Neil ask Thor to play and especially when he mentioned that whoever took a dump last went first. She coughed, clearing her throat. "Yeah, it's pretty fun. It's also very...wrong. Like not that kind of wrong, more like the 'we shouldn't talk or joke about that but we do anyway and laugh because we are most likely going to hell or whatever your damned afterlife is' kind of wrong. Totally fun though!"

Allison had heard of the game but had never played. She was by no means a prude, but she didn't relish too much in that kind of humor. But it seemed Thor could use some cheering up. "Got room for one more? Maybe two if Mira wants to join?" She looked at Mira. She knew Mira played D&D with the crew but didn't know if she would be into this sort of thing. "And I guarantee no one will turn into a snake and bite you. Well...I guess that's a possibility? I don't know everyone here."

Sara also decided to join as she took a seat at the table. "Ok so who pooped last? Own up. We all do it." Allison blushed a little. "Umm, I relieved myself this morning." Sara smirked, hearing Barbie doll admit to defecating. "Well that beats me. How about the rest of you?" She was getting a kick out of this alone. Forget the game, making people mildly uncomfortable was amusing in and of itself.

Leighton had feared it would come to that. There was no way the Hellfire Club would let her walk away Scott free. What was worse was that Desiree suffered for it. Leighton kicked herself for bringing the girl into danger, but either way, she had bigger things to worry about as Pyro sent his fire wolf on her, biting into her. She could feel her ribs crack from the pressure as she let out a scream. She would not go down so easily. Summoning all she could, she focused her ice on her center, sending it outward towards her now enemies. What formed was large, ice shards, hitting the wolf and pushing it off of her. Though it missed Ana and Jinx, it went right through Pyro.

Ana was not surprised Reeva would give the order to have Leighton killed. Even if she was the niece of one of their leaders, Ana figured the Hellfire Club held their own to a higher degree. She also expected Leighton to fight back, which she did. Ana narrowly missed the ice shards, but Pyro wasn't so lucky. Ana tried to force Leighton back, but she couldn't get a hold on to the girl.

Leighton took initiative, summoning more of her power to form an ice blockade in the doorway. She used Desiree's dead body as a push, forming a 6-foot ice wall, blocking them out. She had precious little time, seeing the window on the back. She walked towards it, checking to see if it was plausible she could escape. The window, however, was painted on and no way to open it. She would have to destroy it if she had any hope of leaving alive.

Ana was impressed the girl, being as injured as she was, could form such a huge ice wall. If only she used her powers for them. Pyro was injured, the ice shard melting and his wound opening up would cause problems. Ana used her telekinesis to cling on to the shard, gently pulling it out and staunching the bleeding. "Try not to move too much or it will open up again." With that, hopefully, Pyro could get the wall down. Leighton had little to go, being as injured as she was. "Jinx, we'll need to deal with the authorities soon. A mutant attack on a civilian business is going to attract attention."

Her plan had quickly deteriorated in front of her as Pyro sped off, launching his attack on Desiree's car, sending it up in flames. Leighton felt the heat, but was otherwise unharmed. However, Pyro had sped off into the Dunkin' Donuts in search of Desiree. The people there were panicking, and who could blame them? And as if things couldn't get worse, Jinx had arrived with his own brand of mischief and dove into the fray. And all on top of it, as Pyro found his prey, she heard Desiree cry out for her.

Leighton got her into this, she would get her out.

Ana chuckled and Leighton glared at her. "You find this funny?" Ana merely shrugged. "Top 10, at least." Leighton shook her head and ran off into the Dunkin' aware of the choices she would have to make. She sped inside into the restroom, where Pyro had unleashed a fire wolf on Desiree. Leighton tried to send an ice blast at it, but the wolf shrugged it off. She then formed ice around her fists and punched, but the wolf didn't budge. "Ok you fucking wolf. You asked for it." Leighton tried to form ice around her feet, but they quickly melted, but she managed what she set out to do, diving forward and spin-kicking the wolf off of Desiree.

She stood up, feeling hot as she noticed her shoes were now on fire.

Ana had found the whole situation humorous. It was clear to her that Leighton had tried to betray them and got caught. Whether or not Pyro or Jinx saw it remained to be seen. Ana casually walked inside, seeing Jinx unleash his magic on the poor populace. Inside the rest room, Pyro had managed to get their target pinned, but Leighton had successfully gotten it off, only to be burning from the shoe up. Ana ran over, spotted a fire extinguisher, and put out the shoe fire. It wouldn't serve any of them for her to die.

"She needs to be alive!" Leighton screamed. Ana held up her hand. "Now, now, let's all be calm. You have a decision to make now. Either you and the target come with us willingly back to HQ and we chalk this all up as a big misunderstanding or you watch as this whole place, and everyone unfortunate enough to stay inside, go up in flames."

Leighton was in a bind. She had promised Desiree she would get her a choice, and she was determined to see that through. It just seemed like extra steps would have to be taken.

"Fine, but she remains unharmed"
