Niah tensed up when Nancy spoke about being the daughter of music, but when Nancy cracked a smile Niah laughed. Niah was relieved. They had reached actual friend status.

"Oh my gods, you've never heard of Moose tracks." Niah sat up straight up. "Okay, so you have a vanilla ice cream base, peanut butter cups, and strips of fudge. Just the right amount of flavor. There are even mint flavored ones. But I prefer the classic vanilla one." Niah liked mint chocolate chip ice cream, and if a place didn't have moose tracks that was usually her go-to.

They would have to figure out how to get some. There were a bunch of different flavors out in the world, they just needed to get to like a Safeway or something. "You are right though, the demigod life is definitely a rocky road."

She looked at Madalyne, "You did do a great job. Without you, we definitely would have had to fight the Chimera." She shivered not wanting to have to deal with its poison tail.

Rose looked at her bike, examining the tires. There was no way she could drive it like that. She grumbled to herself. "Well I'd say call the rangers or AAA." She pulled out her own phone, of course not, she sighed. "I don't have service either. Come one, we aren't far from the Station. I'll get one of the guys with a pickup to take us to the bike shop."

She stood up from the bike and started leading the way to the Ranger Station. It wasn't far from them at least. "That is just weird. I've never had both tires blow out like that. And certainly not when it is just sitting. Those weren't old tires either."

Rose didn't pick up on the paranoia Serria was having. She certainly didn't think that they could have blown up her tires. Yeah, she had seen a lot today, but her brain wasn't wired for that quiet yet. Rose was frustrated at the moment more than anything and was planning with her known resources.

"Honestly, I don't know. This is Jack. He is friendly if you wanna let him sniff you then scratch his chin." Colby said, pointing to the cat on his shoulder. "Mathew, everything okay? Are you missing anything? Oh, I'm Colby." He added the last bit to the girl.

"We should report this to the police for certain. Want me to give you a lift there Mathew?" Colby asked. "We have to be quick though. We have that meeting." Colby added nervously. He wondered if maybe this girl was working with the people who had ransacked his room. The people opposed to Merlin. God what a wild day it had been.

Colby felt like he was becoming paranoid. His note wasn't far off from the truth he figured. Though, he only knew who his dad was and not his mom.

"Hey Cass, Maria. What the heck happened?" She looked at her friends worry etched in her features. They were all so hurt. But then her hands were moving to help Sparky. Her attention placed into caring for someone that meant so much to her. Sparky was her friend. Yeah, Niah might not have been the one to burn the world to save her, but she was there beside Novi with those decisions because she cared for her.

Niah took the vial of blood that she had just gotten from Agent Simmons. She was definitely not qualified to be giving blood to anyone. But Simmons had put her faith in her. Niah knew the basics of what she needed to do. Tye it off. Find a vein. Put the needle in the vein. Boom save Sparky.

Her hand shook a little as she followed the steps. She could tell she missed the vein and winced, then tried again. She hissed slightly as she missed again. This was not easy. Niah took a deep breath and tried again. If she didn't get it this time she would have Simmons do it. She was used to corpses not her living breathing friends. Thankfully, this time she was able to get it though. And soon Wolverine's blood was flowing into Sparky.

Niah sighed and watched as Sparky started to stir. Thank goodness. She hadn't failed her.

While Matt had been reassured that Cass was okay, he knew that she was going to go through some very unpleasant medical things. He waited a moment to make sure all of his team and Thane were taken care of. He didn't like Agent Hill's tone and had a sinking feeling. He wanted to explain to her what was going on, but that was Abercrombie's job.

Matt was torn. There were several things he wanted to do and help with. What he wanted to do most though was follow Cass, so he did. Matt wasn't certain what made him want to follow her except he considered Cass the closest thing to a friend he had made on the team. He respected the hell out of her, and maybe at the lab he could grab an ace bandage or something for his wrist.

Entering the room he was a little stunned at how busy the place was. It made sense considering the crisis currently, but it was chaotic. He wondered what the Holographic meeting was about but he spotted Cass and went to her side.



Andy

Andy was so excited and proud of herself. She felt a swell of warmth in her chest at Rebecca's praise. Though, she was sad that it didn't seem like Arthur could use Mystiokinesis. Then the guy who had pushed her brother down had joined them. Andy didn't understand what had happened between her brother and this guy. She was frustrated. But Rebbecca made a three-headed puppy and puppies are great distractions for 10-year-old girls.

Andy's eyes got wide and for a moment she was very much the ten-year-old she actually was. "Oh! A puppy! Like uh..." She paused trying to remember Cerberus' name. "Uh, Cerberus. Right? Can I pet him?" She also frowned a bit. "What is Star Wars?" Another thing that Andy had missed between foster homes and living on the streets.

Skills:



Niah winced as the argument got out of hand. With the Greeks right there watching. This was not the time and place, okay it was the place, but it definitely wasn't the time. She took a deep breath. Much like Nancy, she had her own flaw, and Niah's was her loyalty to her friends. She would die to protect them. Nancy had become a friend so many years ago. Niah clenched her hands, unknowingly mirroring Nancy's hands, her bracelet shifting reminding her exactly why Nancy was her friend. Leandra's outburst would not stand.

She turned her attention up to the Iris Message. "Thank you for warning us. When should we expect you?" She hoped that the Greeks had been smart enough to give them ample time to get prepared for their arrival. They had been smart enough to warn them, more than last time.

Of course, Leandra's distraction was just that a distraction. Nancy hadn't answered who else was in her vision. Leandra could do the paperwork all by herself if she was going to bait Nancy like that. "Leandra, if you survive this quest I will be putting in a formal complaint, and request for impeachment."


Time: +2 hrs
Location: Galley & Atrium







Galley


If it was possible for robots to be upset this little mop Roomba was. It continued to clean around the android's body.

The abandoned meal stayed on the table.



Atrium


"I don't think they meant it to be rude." Gordon said as they walked from the Galley to the Atrium. "So much as they got very excited about what Kyle found. Much like you were excited about that robot." When he stepped into the room his eyes got big and he looked up at the planet in their view. "I see why they got excited."





Location: Atrium
Skill: N/A





Tessa jogged back rejoining the others near the doors as Ryanor suggested they all cut themselves to prove they were not space androids. Tessa blinked then shrugged. She was fine with it. Interestingly the guy, Luke, looked upset at the prospect. Sophia was offering to go first, which was probably a good idea. Everyone was nervous about her because of what she said before they had known they were in space. Zarina seemed super excited about being cut open. That was even weirder.

Cal seemed to be taking control of trying to calm Vinnie. "It is the quickest way to discover if one, or all of us, are robots like the one in the Galley. No one is getting dissected, except maybe the one who is already dead." Manny argued with Cal. "Raynor has a point. We have to know, and this is the easiest way to find out."

"Uh," Luke started. "I think. I don't know if I can." Tessa watched him, and thought for a moment he looked like he was going to pass out.

"Dude, are you okay?" Tessa asked him. He just shook his head.

"I don't know why, but the idea of cutting myself open, even a small nick, is making me really freaked out. I'm worried I'll bleed out." Tessa frowned the guy had to be exaggerating right? A small cut wouldn't cause him to bleed out.

"Are you Hemophiliac?" Manny asked. Luke looked at Manny for a moment. Tessa could almost see the gears turning in his head before he finally nodded. She knew the term and knew that some royalty had hemophilia cause they had been keeping the family tree from branching out too much. Did that mean Luke had royal blood? Or had there just been a few too many inbreeders in his family? Right now there was no way to find out. Luke wouldn't know.

"Yeah. I think that's what it is. My first thought when I woke up was that I was in a hospital for a blood transfusion. And when I dig in my memory I can see that. As if it happened a lot."

"Well look at the bright side if you are a space Android you probably aren't a hemophiliac anymore." Manny said with a shrug.

"I'm fine with giving myself a nick to prove I bleed red." There was something about that sentence that felt familiar and she didn't know why. Tessa was comfortable with a small cut though. There was no reason to be doing any autopsy, well except for the dead robot in the other room.

"Zarina mentioned, when you all abandoned her, that there was something about the skin that was different. Not sure I understand it, but maybe that is an option instead of cutting yourself Luke." Gordon offered. Tessa winced at the jab. They had asked her questions and then just left, she mouthed sorry at Zarina. She would have to make it up to the kid later. Luke seemed to be latching onto the idea that he might not have to cut himself.

"I think I can keep him from bleeding out if it comes down to it." Manny said. "Tessa there were a lot of non-food items in the machine, right? I wonder if there is maybe gauze and stuff too. I'll be right back." He left the room heading back down the hall to the Galley. Tessa wondered something, there had been no doors in the Galley, and no apparent ones here in the Atrium. Her room had been super basic and she assumed everyone else's was too.

"This appears to be a very small ship. Or we have been restricted access to more of it."

"We can decide later what to do with them." She said, being extra careful now as she put them away. Niah laughed at Nancy's joke and grinned, "Yeah, and I mean who else sings Cherry Bomb so badly it explodes heads?" Her stomach tightened as she made the joke, fear that Nancy would take it the wrong way and be mad at her pulsed and she hoped that she didn't judge wrong and Nancy would laugh.

"As for ice cream, my favorite is Moose tracks." She paused to think, then said "Rocky road is good too, but I'm not a huge fan of chocolate base ice cream. I also don't like things that are too crunchy in my ice cream so the nuts aren't my favorite. Why don't you like Moose Tracks? And what about you Madalyne what is your favorite ice cream?"





Location: Knight Bus Middle Back
Magic:



Mary groaned when she realized who all was sitting on the middle deck. Seriously, they should all have gone to the top deck they were the type that would. Grody. She considered moving the whole group to a different spot, but that wasn't worth the effort. She sat down and put her luggage away.

She looked over her friends thankful they were there. She hugged Apollo, her best friend. She was thankful he was up and about. "Don't drink the hot cocoa, it'll spill all over the place." She warned the others. She had ridden the Knight Bus once when some of her extended family was visiting. She was not looking forward to the jerking the bus would do. Last time she had gotten motion sick.

"Explain yourself." She demanded of Apollo now that he was there and lucid. Mary did her best to keep the anger out of her voice, but there was no way he wouldn't pick up on it. She had been worried sick about him and what had happened. What else did he expect? "Wait where is Georgina?"

Niah was tired. She had been helping the Virology lab with testing and notes. She wasn't an expert in virology, but she could run the machines, and they had called for all hands on deck. When her cell rang, she struggled with the suit to answer but there was no way Niah was going to risk taking it off. She was a Mutant and could catch M-Pox if she did. It was Bonnie. That concerned her. She knew Bonnie was on a mission and if she was calling something had gone sideways.

"I'm already in Virology, I've been running some tests for them. I'll get the vial. See you soon." That was their conversation. She bolted from there to Agent Simmons knowing that she would know where to find some of Wolverine's blood. Niah's experience with Wolverine had been entirely during House of M, but she knew exactly why Bonnie would request the blood. The healing factor, it could keep Sparky alive long enough to create an antidote from Cass.

"Agent Simmons I need a vial of J. Howlett. The Secret Warriors are on their way here. Sparky is at death's door, but the good news is it sounds like Cass can help. Bonnie didn't give me details but she is the cure." It was a pretty easy jump from there to assume that Cass had had M-Pox, and beat it. Simmons got a promise for a favor in exchange for the vial.

Matt was relieved when Strange took Thane, he was just relieved to be getting out of Cardiff. Too close to his ex. Really anything in Europe was too close if he thought about it. Chase and Abercrombie combined efforts to get the team moving. Matt moved into the Quinjet. He raised an eyebrow surprised at how well Cass was looking despite having been super sick. But Chase had said something about her cured now. Interesting.

Sparky, on the other hand, looked like hell. Matt helped get her onto the cart. He looked at Bonnie as she made the phone call. He knew Niah, but only from Christmas. He wondered how she was supposed to help.

Matt looked at Cass, "You really doing okay?" It was one thing to hear it from other people, another to hear it from her. He was concerned and was thankful she did look a whole lot better even if she wasn't totally cured. They all did seem to think so at least.
The group watched as the apple core flew in a nice arc landing on seemingly nothing and then continued to move to the side.

"Oh, great, awesome. Moving invisible platforms." Christopher sighed and looked over at Sumi who was chewing her lip.

Sumi clapped her hands suddenly and faced the group. "Okay, here is the plan. Alexander is going to guide us as we leap from platform to platform. But first I need another candy bar."

Kade reached into his bag and handed over a new candy bar to Sumi, who almost swallowed it whole.

((How this will work is I'll have you each roll 3x for each character. If you roll a 9 or less let me know. DC 10 b/c of Alexander's assistance))

Niah sighed relieved with the all-clear from Madalyne. She relaxed and re-sheathed her sword, then sat down pulling the glasses off. Then Nancy tempted the Fates. Niah winced. "If only knocking on wood actually helped." She sighed. "Though now we have a new and interesting problem, there is no conductor?" Niah kept her voice pitched low so hopefully, none of the normal people on the train heard her. She sort of asked, her voice rising at the end. Partially in concern and partially wondering if they gorgons had just been there to be annoying not truly run the train.

Did Gorgons have jobs? There had only been two...weren't there three? She put the glasses back on real quick and looked around trying to see if someone seemed off. She sighed relieved when there didn't seem to be any other monsters. She did notice that there were a couple of actual snakeheads on the ground. "Ew." She said and grabbed a couple of napkins to pick the heads up. "Any idea what good these might be for?"

Niah looked at the heads, "They do have teeth, maybe we can add them to the bracelet." She laughed slightly. "I don't know what type of snakes these are though, so might want to be careful about that." She let the others examine the snakes and then carefully wrapped them in the napkins before putting them in her bag. Niah leaned back in her seat. "Admittedly, we do make a badass team." Niah grinned at her friends.
