Rose Buckner

Once Sierra was on, and her helmet secured. Rose drove away from the diner. It felt good. The rumble of the bike and the air pressing against her. She had her helmet on so there was no wind in her hair, but she could imagine it. She drove past the park and seeing the cop cars kept going. There wasn't anything there for them anyway anymore. Rose could cut through the traffic and took advantage of the ability. Though since they were on a motorcycle there was no talking.

Arriving at the trailhead Rose parked the bike and killed the engine. She removed her helmet and fixed her head grinning the whole time. She picked up the conversation from there. "I think I went to the orphanage, but only for help with the legality of getting my parents to adopt me. And good point with the powers stuff." There were a lot of options to choose from, and Merlin hadn't been very forthcoming. Not that he had had a lot of time. Rose pulled her backpack out of the saddlebag and locked up the helmets. Nothing had ever been stolen from her bike, but it didn't hurt to be cautious. "Do you remember any of the other kids that were there? They might be from..." She waved her hand "You know where."

Colby Jackson

Colby looked at Matthew indigently when he stole a piece of pork. He didn't say anything. Instead, he stole a piece of chicken off Matt's plate. He was thankful when Tink said they could take their cats. Though Colby wasn't certain how well his cat would fair in the magic world. He munched on his food and took a swig of water. Matthew was right, this might be his last meal in Kansas. Something about that didn't bother him. He was actually happy about that.

Colby would, of course, call his folks when he went to pack up. He had to say goodbye. Even as much as they had pissed him off over the years they had adopted him. Heck if they hadn't he might be like Matthew...Or maybe he and Matthew would have been friends earlier in life. They would have been at the same place. How odd, life could be so different from one choice.

"Well you know me pretty well already." He said to Matthew. "How about you two? What do you like to do? What's your cat's name?" He got right to the important part, the cat.

Andy

Location: The ship

---

Andy listened to Alannah's explanation and was thankful, sort of. She had no idea what half the things she listed where, and had reached her limit for asking questions. She wanted to slink away and disappear. Thankfully she was given the option when they were told to pick their rooms. She followed Arthur and picked one near his room.

Upon entering she shut the door and hung her bag off the end of the bed, then pulled off her shoes and climbed up onto the bed. Andy took a deep breath and examined the room from her perch. It wasn't anything special, but she had seen worse rooms in her time as a foster kid. She pulled her legs up so she sat with her arms wrapped around her knees. Andy didn't cry. There weren't many tears left.

She could hear the others talking and opening and closing doors and that was okay. It was comforting. She didn't know everyone on the ship, that wasn't okay. It made her nervous. At least Arthur was near, and her brother. Even if he was talking to one of the new people. Andy hadn't spoken to either of them yet. She was avoiding them if she was honest with herself. Andy knew it wasn't their fault, but maybe, just maybe if they hadn't come Ash would still be alive. How much could one person's death change her?

Mary also stepped back behind the spell, but she couldn't bring herself to sit down. Mary tensed when the Auror entered the cabin but was relieved to see he was a friend of Georgina's. It was unlikely he was a Death Eater. She pushed away a nasty paranoid thought. Something she'd never ever voice to Georgina she decided before it was even fully formed. However, she would later, express it to Apollo in the quiet of their own dorm, having no idea he was having the exact same thoughts as her. Mary bit her lip and kept a sigh of relief inside when Callum left. The next thought she had was just as awful as the first.
1) what if Callum was a death eater and had killed Georgina's dad.
2) What if Callum had let the death eaters go.

Wherever this wild bout of paranoia came from Mary wasn't certain. And in a weird old habit way, she started mentally reciting the Lord's prayer. She hated it, but it helped her calm down.

Mary dashed forward as soon as Callum was gone and hugged Georgina. She didn't know what to say. Mary knew Georgina's father had been killed, and that it had been by a death eater. She also knew that her friend was hurting. Mary wasn't the best at emotional stuff. She had a hard time expressing her own, but she hoped Georgina could use a hug. It seemed like the Hufflepuff way.

Matthew Moss

Location: Inside Palace -> On the quinjet
Skills: N/A

Even if the royals were asses at least they got Cass out of there to safety. Matt wasn't certain where they took her, but he hoped they were true to their word. He considered swearing that if something went wrong and Cass died taking it out on them. It was entirely their fault. He followed the group back to the quinjet. He didn't hear what Sparky said but Raynor's reaction gave him a really good idea. Matt didn't blame Raynor either if Oliver was to blame like he was for Matt's own secondary exposure (that he still didn't know what had changed because of). Raynor was a bit of a loose cannon though.

Matt figured it would be best if he was at least near at hand if Raynor didn't let it go. He probably wouldn't be able to best Raynor in a hand-to-hand fight, but Matt could at least keep Oliver from getting hurt. Though the kid had superspeed now. If he was smart he'd just keep out of range of Ryanor. Matt would have put himself between the two, but Maria already had that covered.

If Cass was doing that badly...how were all of the other mutants on Earth doing? What was Sparky's timeline looking like? Would she progress as rapidly? "We don't have time for this. The longer we fight each other the longer until we can help. We need to get this mission taken care of. We can all punch Oliver after."

Matt did spare Oliver a glance to make sure he wasn't going to bleed out or something from the light blast that Ryanor had hit him with.

"A ride and hike sound nice." Rose led the way to her bike laughing at Sierra's comment about Final Destination. "Hey as long as we don't end up behind a logging truck, or on a roller coaster, or on a plane." She started listing all the core deaths from the films. She was a fan of horror films and had spent a weekend binge-watching all the movies once.

"I'd like to think I'm a better driver. And if you do get a premonition let me know so I can get out of the way of it." She paused at the bike. "Do you think we will have powers based on our fairy tale backgrounds? I don't even know who my parents are. I mean I have a vague image of them in my head but I was about seven years old when the Buckners found me. It might not be what they look like." She sighed and then climbed onto the bike slipping her helmet on and offering the spare from the bike's saddlebags. She placed her backpack in the empty space it made.

Colby was thankful for the food arriving it was a nice distraction. He loaded up his plate. But there Layla was joking about him and Matthew dating again. He felt his face get hotter and he took a big bite of food to keep himself from saying something he might regret. The girls seemed nice enough but god could they lay off? He nodded at Cass's question. If he didn't have his mouth full of sweet and sour pork he would have said something like 'yeah a bit creepy if you ask me'. By the time he was done chewing he had thought better of that too.

Cass brought up another point, he had a cat to care for. Probably one of his co-workers from the pet store could take him for a few days. But what if he couldn't come back from Arcadia? "About pets. I have a cat too. I have roommates that can probably feed him, or a friend from work that'll take him, but I would like to keep Jack. So uh, if we go to Arcadia can I bring my cat? He's pretty chill." Colby had never had an issue getting cats to understand what he wanted them to do. Sure they could just decide not to, and that had happened a fair amount of times, but if Colby was super serious about Jack needing to hide or something for his safety Colby was certain Jack would obey.

Andy

Now that they were on the tour properly Andy listened closely. She didn't know what port or starboard meant, or really a lot of the terms Alannah was saying which made Andy a little upset. She pushed that away though to ask instead, and it hurt to ask cause if Ash were still alive she'd be asking for her. "Uh, what does port mean?" She raised her hand slightly, but didn't wait for permission. "Also how does this thing even fly?" There was a part of her that wasn't completely ready to accept "magic" as an answer just yet, and that was with a brother who had just been a cat.

During the tour, she did keep close to Arthur and gave him a look when they said there were enough rooms for all of them to have their own. She hadn't slept alone almost since coming to camp and she knew Arthur wouldn't want to either. There was something reassuring about having someone you trusted in the room. It meant safety. It meant if something went wrong you had someone to watch your back. Alone was a terrifying prospect that she, and she was certain Arthur, didn't want to do. If all else she would sneak into his room so neither of them had to be alone, and Demetri could sleep at the foot of the bed again as a cat.

Mary Winthrop

Location: Compartment 3
Magic: N/A

Mary wrapped up the sneak-o-scope trying to mute the noise it was producing and then shoved it back into her bag. Hoping that between the bit of extra clothing and the books no one would hear it. Mary couldn't say she knew the reliability of the sneak-o-scope. She had only just gotten it, but her father had given it to her and she trusted his opinion. "We can do some experiments with it later." She suggested.

Though it did seem Georgia hadn't closed the door to the compartment fast enough. She had been spotted. One of the Auror's was saying her name. At least Apollo had cast Salvio Hexia though and if they needed the group could get behind that barrier. Mary checked to make sure her own wand was loose in case she needed to pull it out quickly. "Thank you Apollo." He was much better at that sort of spell then she was. Her skill was charms and transfiguration, not DADA (even if she was passing it just fine)

She hated the current feeling. It was like the old days. Pretending to be something she wasn't had become second nature, but she had just started to be a bit more relaxed about the truth. Apollo knew the truth, which of course meant Artie knew. And if both of them knew there was no way Georgia didn't know, not that once He-who-must-not-be-named had been defeated Mary had bothered to keep it a secret. Though, she did try to keep it to just the group of friends. You never knew what someone's leanings might be, and being a half-blood wasn't great. But Mary trusted the group to have her back. And trust was hard for her to give. Her mind was racing, thankful for this little group of safety, but terrified of what the future might hold now.

Matthew Moss

Matt got it, he did, but that didn't make him any less pissed about the whole thing. Lots of people's lives were in danger cause some people from the moon who hadn't given a damn about him and his family suddenly wanted to give them a 'fighting' chance. He didn't identify as Inhuman, sure he did when he applied for the position at SHIELD, but in his heart he was human. Not some moon person watching from afar.

It was the people on Earth that matted to him, and the people in his crew that he had started getting close to. Enough opinions that lined up with Matt's were thrown at Medusa that he kept his mouth shut this time. Bitch that she was. He glanced at Cass as her coughing fit got worse. He liked her. She was good at her job, and she had been nice to see the movies with. Anger boiled in him, the anger he wasn't certain he had a right to have. Not as much as the rest of the team. They had a bigger stake in this. But damn he liked Cass, and several other mutants he had met. They were all in danger now.

If they couldn't hold off this guy Thanos...He snapped down on that thought. This team was amazing. He was going to make sure they succeeded. They had no other option. "Cass, I'm here if you need me too." He offered. Trying to keep his tense anger out of his voice so as to not upset her.

"I've got a spare helmet." Rose grinned at Sierra. Rose loved the open road. She loved her bike. She loved freedom. Rose hoped that whatever all of this was going to change she still would have freedom. "Unless of course, you wanna drive your own so average CRV?" Rose didn't hate the CRV, it just didn't have the same feel as the bike on the open road did. She'd be willing to ride in the CRV if Sierra insisted, but it meant she'd have to leave when Sierra wanted to. Well, she thought, if she drove her up there she'd have to anyway.

"Or we can meet at the trailhead and you can leave at leisure and I can stay till the wolves remind me I'm human and have to pay for things like gas and food." She shrugged mostly joking. Though, she supposed today put the jokes into a weird perspective. She had just had some guy claiming to be Merlin make a magic portal right in front of her. "Or," She started to give another option. "We say to hell with it and go straight to Mr. Merlin's Camelot in Kansas."

"I.. I'm not repulsed." Colby stopped there knowing if he went any further he'd just dig himself a hole he did not want to be in. "Yeah I want to meet Merlin." He said to Tink. Hoping that'd change the subject. He could feel his face was hot. Colby was tempted to reach up and touch his cheek to see if it felt as hot to his fingertips as it did in his head.

Matthew's colloquial language didn't help. All Colby could think was how strange he was. Even before they had learned they were actually the children of characters from Wonderland Matthew had been obsessed with the book. Colby blamed the hat that Matthew had had when he was left at the orphanage and then thanked his lucky stars someone had adopted him. He had just been young enough. Moldable enough...well at least in the minds of the Jacksons he was. In reality, Colby Jackson was not the child they had hoped for.

"Oh there definitely is magic that does just that." Mary said. Mary's bag that she had squished under the seat started squealing loudly. She blinked confused trying to figure out why her bag would be freaking out. It wasn't sentient. Then she said "Oh!" and pulled the bag out. She opened a side pocket and pulled out her sneak-o-scope. Her father had given it to her nervously the night before. She understood where he was coming for and had promised to keep on her. Though her plan had been to toss it into her chest as soon as she got to school. Mary figured it would be mostly useless. Yet, here it was screeching, but only now. Why hadn't it gone off sooner?

"I am concerned. What if one of the Aurors is a fraud? It would have been going off before if it were a student right?" She asked her friends in a hushed tone, thankful it was just them in the compartment. She hated even suggesting it knowing who the Aurors were to Georgina, but it was suspicious that her sneak-o-scope hadn't made a noise up till that very moment. She shoved it back into her bag and wrapped it into a spare jacket she had in there.

Would all of this mess with the dance? She certainly hoped it wouldn't make the dance be canceled. The escape had been so recently there was no way the school had made a decision on that yet. She had a feeling that Dumbledore wouldn't cancel anything if he could help it. What if the Death Eaters crashed the dance though? Worry dug into her stomach and she clenched her fists digging her fingernails into her palms trying to calm down. She took several deep breaths as Georgina looked down the hall of the train.
