Plans weren’t always a bad thing, they were a good tool to have, especially with so many powers working in one room, a plan could be to their advantage. But, as Antoinette watched Lance fly up to the door, she supposed the all or nothing approach did work out for them just as well. Antoinette followed up after Lance and entered a room full of people. It seemed all of them had made it to this room at just about the same time. She looked around at the people she hadn’t seen since being in Stark Tower and then she looked at Silver Surfer who was surrounded by people but he seemed to be faring well against them.
There was an alarm sounding and Antoinette watched the Nullifier become encased. That was going to prove to be a bit more difficult to get out. Antoinette focused on the Silver Surfer, trying to get into his head like so many others to see if he knew of a way to release the security of the Nullifier but she couldn’t get a read on him. She made her way over to Lance and the control panel next, looking it over for answers there but the panel was written out in an alien language she didn’t understand. Antoinette eyed the Nullifier and lifted her hand trying to use her new found power to blast open the case. She only managed a few sparks and sighed, dropping her hand. Her sparkling new power would have to wait until she got to train with it some more. For now, she focused on Silver Surfer again to see what sort of illusions she could create.

Luna nodded when Nightcrawler expressed his desire to not talk about what it was like being on the drug. She had to respect his wishes, even though her desire to know was insane. She felt that with the more knowledge she had, the better she would be able to combat this in the future. Cayden walked into the room with pizza, briefly distracting everyone from their conversations. ”It’s alright. Death is a part of life after all. Stay and eat something at the very least before you decide to go,” she pressed. She nodded at him once more before she went to secure at least one piece of pizza.
Professor Xavier and Veil walked into the dining room along with a couple other people. Luna smiled at the professor and nodded. ”Professor Xavier, good to see you,” she noted. Xavier’s relationships with his students were hit or miss but on a whole, Luna had learned a lot from being under his direction when she was at his school. She was still learning from him and she was sent here because of him.

Cayden glanced at Illyana, undisturbed by her threat and shrugged at Colossus. ”No worries big guy. There’s lots,” he said and handed a box to Illyana before he took another to the group of kids and all gave them a can of pop as well. ”Don’t eat too quickly,” he warned them. He had seen it back home where kids hadn’t eaten anything for days or weeks and at the first sign of food, they would gorge themselves and then be sick after.
Cayden managed to snag a couple slices himself and a can of pop before Professor Xavier showed up. He stared at the man who sat in a hovering wheelchair with wide eyes. Wow, it was really him. Cayden managed to swallow the pizza in his mouth and walked over to the group near the professor, just wanting to be a part of the conversation that was about to happen.

Ezekiel remained silent while Kristen explained what an Iris Message was. When she explained it like that, it sounded rather stupid to him. He understood the gods were great and powerful and most of them adored flattery but the idea of putting ‘Oh’ in front of a prayer was like all those people in hot yoga chanting. It was a bit ridiculous.
”In case you haven’t noticed it yet, the drachma are heavier than the regular currency. They are also fairly larger in size than the US coin,” Ezekiel pointed out to Janelle. ”I don’t think the average store clerk will really care what you hand him but anyone dealing with our world, demi-god, Iris messages or travel, its drachma or nothing.”
He shifted in his seat and looked out the window, watching the city come into view and sighed. Not only was it crowded and large, but the smell was awful. The warmer it was, the worse it was, the more wind you had, the more you got from the bay. There really was no winning unless you were in central park. Too bad they couldn’t just take fast travel to Texas. Now they would have to take a bus with who knows how many different human smells. At least people provided entertainment when they thought no one was watching them.

Cassiopeia watched everyone else start to eat and nodded. ”Well alright then. I guess we’re on board. We’ll have to call someone to watch the cats Lala,” she pointed out to her sister. Cassiopeia wasn’t entirely sure what she should be feeling at the moment. She was intrigued at the idea of visiting a place she had never seen or heard of and she was fascinated with the idea of Robin Hood being her true father. What version of all the stories she had read would he be like, she wondered.
”Leave the poor boys along Layla, I believe you have picked on them enough today,” she joked. She had to admit though, the two of them were starting to grow on her. Cassiopeia looked back at Tink. ”So you’ve been watching us, all of us? How many of us are there?” Not to mention kind of creepy that she had been keeping an eye on them all this time. How old was she?

Willow sipped her tea and smiled once her friend answered the phone. ”Hey Annie, have you got a minute? I really need someone to talk to.” She sipped her tea again, listening to the sound of voices on the other line. It sounded like Annie was watching the news and it was only confirmed when they started talking about Oak Park and the dead bodies. Willow shut her eyes and had to set her tea down before she spilt it. ”Annie I was there. I was at Oak Park,” she told her friend.
Of course that wasn’t what Willow wanted to talk about but both things were related, she just wasn’t sure how her friend would take her speaking about the wizard Merlin. Willow still didn’t even understand it but it was hard to ignore the dead bodies and a sudden portal opening up in front of them all at his hands before he disappeared. Willow shut her eyes and breathed in her rose scented candle. The smell always seemed to calm her and occasionally, bring about some lost memories. In this instant, Willow would be able to remember some things of her past again. A woman’s voice, the smell of freshly cut roses, yellow hair the same shade as hers and to male voices. She seemed to recognize one and slowly Merlin came into view. As well as a woman in a beautiful blue dress, standing close with another man. They were speaking of her and sending her away for her safety but they were arguing and didn’t seem happy. Those had to be her parents. Willow strained for a closer look but she was pulled back to reality. Willow blinked several times, momentarily forgetting where she was and that she was on the phone.

Antoinette’s eyes widened as she watched Elizabeth get hit as well but much worse than the others. Elizabeth didn’t let the injuries stop her though as she attacked the Chitauri and made for the door Lance had opened. Antoinette didn’t hesitate either and took the opportunity to run after the others into the hopeful safety of the next room. She looked up, seeing the next door on what would be the ceiling. She had the faintest recollection of Alice In Wonderland and smiled a little at the thought of thinking impossible things. Their whole lives were a bit like an impossible thing. Her face plate dropped and she looked at the others, unaware Carolina had left her body until she spoke up again.
They were close to the Nullifier now. So close but they had another major fight to get through. They had been warned about the Silver Surfer before being transported to Galactus’s ship and now they were about to face him. Antoinette looked down at her hands, twitching her fingers and wondered what type of new power she had developed. It was a gift to be given yet another power and she wasn't about to squander it. The only thing with a new power was it being unstable and not very controllable but in a situation such a this, something big and powerful as a new, untested power would be an asset Antoinette thought.
”Should we come up with a bit of a plan before we go on through?”

Luna watched Colossus walk away and sighed a little before she looked over at Nightcrawler. ”About earlier, I know I was rather harsh but my main concern was getting us all out of there and not accepting an apology from someone who just stabbed me. That being said, I’m alive and incredibly grateful for it and I do accept your apology and don’t hold anything against you for it. I’ve been mind controlled before but nothing what you are going through I’m sure but if there’s someway I can understand better, please let me know. I’ll admit I am curious about the whole ordeal, what it felt like, were you consciously aware or completely taken over... . When you’re ready to talk, I’m eager to listen,” Luna confessed.
She gave Kurt a small smile before she looked away and could smell pizza. Her stomach grumbled loudly in response and she put a hand over it in the hopes that would silence it. She was glad they had found some money at Sinister’s lab. A good meal would be excellent for everyone. ”In the meantime, is there anything we can do for you? Someone we can call or anything?” Luna asked, looking back at Nightcrawler. Of course she assumed he was probably hungry, as was everyone in this building but if there was anything else he needed, she would try to accommodate as long as it was within her power to do so.

Cayden eyed Quicksilver and his impressive numbers of when exactly he switched sides. He knew of that explosion and new DC had briefly lost power because of it. It hadn’t been a little thing. His eyes widened when Quicksilver mentioned Professor Xavier was going to be coming here. The X man himself. First Captain Britain's daughter and now this. Cayden felt as if he had died and gone to heaven.
He looked at Veil when she asked the speedster to do a favour for them. Well, if Veil was comfortable with Quick, then so was Cayden. While Quick was gone, Cayden just kind of stood there with the group, his tasks were now completed with James having gone to help Sapphire and now she was standing with the rest of them. He smiled when Waverley joined them and gave her a bit of a wave before Quicksilver came back with food, pop and beer for the older mutants. ”I’ll take a couple of these to the kids,” Cayden volunteered and took a couple of pizzas and some pop from Quicksilver once he was stable. ”Thanks Quick!” he said cheerily before heading into the room with most of the kids to deliver them sustenance.

Cassiopeia smirked at how quickly Colby answered her and how uncomfortable Matthew was looking. ”Ya huh,” she said. She leaned into Layla when her sister hugged her, wrapping an arm over her shoulders and held the locket tightly in her hand. She looked at Layla, wondering what the hell they were going to do. It was crazy what Tink was saying but Cassiopeia wanted to see this for herself, she was hooked on the idea of it now. ”So you want us running back to trouble, after we were sent away in the first place? That sounds like a well thought out plan,” Cassi noted. ”Why can’t our parents fix this problem?”
Tink pulled out her phone and Cassi watched her curiously as her eyes scanned the phone before she offered to take them to Merlin. Who always was apparently real. She was still trying to wrap her head around all of that as well. She looked back at Layla, seeing her sister already looking at her. ”We may as well Lala, what have we got to lose,” she said before telling Tink they would come.

Willow hung up her jacket and her keys before she slipped off her wet shoes and followed the sound of her mother's voice to the kitchen. Willow's mom was sitting on the phone and her dad was nowhere in sight, which wasn't a surprise. She walked over and turned the kettle on, making eye contact with her mom and waited for her to hang up the phone so they could talk this out. Willow wanted an answer now and she would be more comfortable dealing with one parent at a time.

Willow's mother turned her head slightly seeing her daughter coming into the kitchen. "I'll talk to you later okay hun?" Willow's mother said, before hanging up the phone. "Willow, i'm really sorry we were going to tell you when the time was right.." She said softly as she went over to give her a hug.

Willow shifted, holding her hand out so her mother wouldn't hug her. She didn't need to be coddled or comforted right now, she wanted to understand. "When the time was right? I'm twenty-one mom and besides that, is there every really a "right" time?" The kettle started to boil and Willow pulled out two cups to make tea for herself and her mom.

Willow's mother frowned a little bit, and took a step back letting out a quiet sigh. "You are right your father and I should have told you this a lot sooner, and i'm sorry for not saying any of this sooner to you we both are."

Willow nodded, appreciating the words her mother spoke to her. They had always been close, the three of them, her and her mother more so at this age. It hurt to be lied to, to be this disappointed in a parent who was your everything. Willow made their tea, the same way they took it every time and carried the cups to the table. She sat down, blowing on the hot liquid and took a tentative sip before setting the cup down. "Do you know who my real parents are?" If they didn't, she didn't want her mother throwing her into the loony bin for saying she's a fairy tale princess or whatever she was.

Willow's mother walked over and sat down at the kitchen table while looking over at her daughter seeing the disappointment in her eyes which she could tell before shaking her head slightly. "No, your father and I never knew who your real parents were, we went through the adoption center, which was where we found you."

Willow nodded, she wasn't sure if that was a relief or not. "Mom, if I had the opportunity to get to know my biological parents? What would you say? I'd have to leave school," she added in. Other than the nature of who her parents may be, which Willow still didn't know, she didn't keep much from her mom and it was hard not to remain honest still.

Willow's mother looked at her daughter for a moment and gave her a slight smile, though she didn't like the idea of her daughter dropping out of school, though Willow was old enough now to make her own choices. "I'll help however I can, and you are old enough now to pick whatever you want to do with your future." She said softly.

Willow looked at her mom, feeling her heart hurt from the love and shifted. She got off her chair and promptly sat in her mother's lap and hugged her. "I love you mom," she declared. "Thank you for loving me." They were simple words but they held so much meaning. "I'm going to go call Annabelle," she told her mom.

Willow kissed her mother’s cheek before she got off her lap, grabbed her tea and headed up the stairs. She shut the door to her room and dialed the familiar number of one of her close friends Annabelle. As she waited for her to pick up the phone, Willow lit a rose scented candle and curled up on a chair in her room with her tea.

Ezekiel climbed into the van after the girls and switched the song on his iPod. ”Been there a handful of times,” he said simply. Ezekiel hated small talk. What was the point of it, to make everyone in the room or in this case van, as uncomfortable as possible? Ezekiel accepted the money from Kristen and counted each set before he divided it up in his bag and tucked it between his legs on the floor.
He looked out the window at the ship, sort of wishing he could be on a ship adventure rather than a smelly van adventure. Ezekiel was definitely used to getting shit on at camp. He had started here being a complete ass but it was his way of gaining a sense of control. At his former school he used to get beat up and picked on constantly, at least now he could look after himself and being constantly yelled at was easier than having to be emotionally available when he could hardly handle his own emotions. He shifted in his seat, tilting his head back to rest against the seat and shut his eyes. It was important to get sleep whenever you could Ezekiel thought because once the quest truly started, sleep was limited.

When Antoinette was hit again, her mind flashed to her most recent hit but this time she recovered quickly. She let out a little breath, feeling relief from that feeling alone and jumped back into the fray. Luckily, the blast she received didn’t bother her illusion and the rats kept up their work. They weren’t doing any serious damage but they were definitely qualifying in their role as pests to the Chitauri. Both of her eyes started to glow as she tapped into her intuition now and reached out to the Chitauri hoping she would pick up on their language and see what their fight patterns were. All she seemed to be able to get was that these creatures had 192 ways to say “hate”. These creatures didn’t seem very loving at all.
She glanced at Lance, seeing he had gotten hit as well but seemed to be faring okay and he hadn’t shifted into the Hulk again so that was a good sign. She had to admit that running looked like a fairly good idea. They were barely making a dent in these creatures as it was. Antoinette saw a flash and looked down, seeing her hands spark and release what looked like mini fireworks. Her eyes widened, although no one would see her facial expression due to the face mask. What was this? Was it part of the suit? But Mr. Stark had said he hadn’t had time to weaponize the suits. Antoinette looked up to see if anyone else had seen what just flew from her hands.

Anyone who would want to would be able to see Antoinette's new power.

Luna watched Veil walk off after saying they didn’t need anymore help in the first aid department. She worried about James though, hoping he would be able to push through and help the others. He hadn’t been doing very well after he had healed her. Maybe it had something to do with her dying first and him having to bring her back from that. Curiously she wondered what his limits were when it came to raising the dead, like how long they had to be dead for before it was useless.
Luna walked over to Colossus and Nightcrawler, since she didn’t have anything else to do, other than beg Veil to go take a shower, she thought talking would be in order. ”Nightcrawler, can we talk for a minute?” she glanced at Colossus, not minding if he stayed. He had been there after all and he seemed to know Nightcrawler well. She wasn't sure how well this conversation would go but now that Luna wasn't freaking out from being stabbed and trying to get out of Sinister's lair without blowing herself up, she was a little more level headed and ready to talk to Nightcrawler and see what had happened to him and why he had been compelled to stab her. Was it because of the drugs or was it something else.

Cayden frowned, not fully sure he believed Quicksilver but it wasn’t his call. Veil walked in and he remembered his tasks. ”I’m not sure where Sapphire is. I’ll go look for her,” he told her, comfortable now with leaving since Veil was here to deal with the Brotherhood mutant. If he was working for the Brotherhood, why would he be delivering a message from Xavier, unless it was a trick. Cayden turned back and glared at Quicksilver before he heard Negasonic. She had come to the stairs, saying that Sapphire and Havok were dying and they needed James. James pushed off of Casper and headed that way but he was a bit unstable as he went.

Wait, did Veil say Quicksilver was with the X-Men? ”He’s with the X-Men? Since when?” Cayden asked in disbelief.

Sapphire came down the stairs, looking well a few moments later. The more people that joined him in the entranceway, made him feel slightly better about standing with an ex-Brotherhood guy. ”Apparently he’s here to deliver a message on Xavier’s behalf,” Cayden said, filling in Sapphire. ”How’s Havok?” he then asked, hoping everyone was okay other than being sleep deprived and hungry.
