Andy didn't say goodbye either. She had no desire to. That would be like admitting she'd never see Arthur again. She watched Arthur get into the cab and closed her eyes, trying to memorize him. She followed her aunt down into an alleyway. When the door appeared, she opened her eyes wide. "Wow, how did you know?" She asked.

Andy went to the door slowly. She had grown up on the streets in part, so she was a cautious kid. She didn't want to open the door, worrying about what might happen if she did. Her heart pounded. And this wasn't even scary. She chastised herself. "So this goes where we need to go?" She asked.








Location: Streets of New York City -> Grand Central Station
Skills:




Niah raised an eyebrow and all of Stella's questions. There was a lot to explain there. And, of course, Jason had no idea about where they were going either. She took a small breath. Then said, "The Caldecott Tunnel is our thing; that is the path to get to New Rome." She winced as soon as she said that. But continued. "What you're experiencing is called the Mist. It is a magical thing that can be manipulated by some, but its primary function is to prevent mortals from noticing our stuff. I can explain more while we are traveling. As for where we are going, Mount Tamalpais is a mountain north of San Francisco. It is the equivalent of Mount Othrys. Much like the Empire State building houses your Mount Olympus." She said, gesturing to the tall building.

She had a feeling she would be explaining a lot to the pair of them during this quest. At least she didn't mind doing that. Stella was the newest camper for the Greeks, and while Jason had been around for a bit, the Greeks weren't the best at orientation, and he was from a different country, so there was no surprise he didn't have a clue.

"First, we need to get to the Grand Central Station. Then we can get to an Amtrak station. Amtrak is one of the few ways to cross the US without flying. And flying is...uh... well, not the safest form of transport for our kind. Even without a kid of Neptune. It probably is fine if you're not on a quest, but being on a quest is like an auto-draw for monsters. I swear they sense it. Also, try not to say a monster's name as that attracts them too." Niah led the way toward Grand Central Station. At least New York was laid out sensically. It was practically a straight shot from where they were to Grand Central.

Ed wondered for a moment if taking Guin to Stark tower would be a great idea. But it was a little too late as it was already decided they'd go there as a group. He hoped she might do better if she had something to work on, like fixing Danger, as a focus. He knew she was tech savvy, so it would hopefully be a decent distraction. He did not blame her for being upset.

The room was mostly empty of the group as most of them had gone off for whatever reason, and others had followed to retrieve them. "Mary, if we can find a quiet moment, I'd like to speak with you about a theory. Alone." He looked in the direction Klara had gone. Concern on his face. He'd have to apologize to Sief for telling another her concerns, but before they left this world, he had to deal with the fact that the Klara here might be their Klara.






Location: EARTH 257: The Waiting Grove
Skills:





Hearing Raynor call the Professor X and Magneto from this universe the worst was terrifying. If he considered someone the worst...That could be nothing but terrifying. She continued to pace. Torn between wanting to run back to Oliver's side and keeping herself out of trouble. Then they arrived. Professor X and Magneto were there. They were...uh...holding hands. That could not be a good sign.

Niah wondered, after Professor X, read their minds, what he made of the mess in her head. The creeping feeling of the person from this world taking over part of her was unsettling. But it was hard to push it away. She watched the area where they had come from. Waiting for Oliver to join them. She bit her lip hoping Professor X didn't know the truth about the Oliver from here now. She wanted to protect him. No matter what universe he was from.

"I'm sorry I do not understand how we traveled. We have several science-orientated people in our group, maybe one of them can." He glanced at Oliver, a bit disappointed in his inability to explain it. He didn't blame him though. It was all weird and Oliver had had a rough day.

Matt was also about to tell Bob Banner that yeah they had several AFAB people in the group. He didn't know if any had been adopted so he couldn't answer that question. He hadn't so he wasn't Bob's missing daughter. But Prodigy beat him to the punch. With the full drop of 'yeah your daughter is one of them'. The only one he knew for certain it couldn't be was Cass, and well obviously not Amelia.



Rose Buckner




Location: The Moors
Skills:





Rose helped as best she could with her sore arm. But really, she wasn't much help. They finally found a place to rest, and as they started to set up camp, everything returned to her. She had known it was weird that she couldn't remember living here as old as she had been. It still didn't make sense why those memories had been repressed. But it didn't matter because she had them all back again.

Her heart sang for a moment at the memories flashing through her mind. She paused and thought about one that seemed to stand out. A core memory, she supposed. It was her mom teaching her to use a bow. And she was good with it. No wonder she had been so drawn to it. She mentally thanked the Buckners for fostering that love of the woods. And, of course, it always felt like home, even if it wasn't quite right. Her whole childhood had been in the woods of this place. Not this specific place. That still was a way away. But it was within reach. She knew where home was now.




Colby Jackson




Location: Agrabah
Skills:


Colby nodded at Maddie's suggestion. They should move away from Rumple. Though, the man had stepped away. They could easily be compromised. "He knows our faces." He said. "He works for her." He didn't say Malificent's name, not out of some fear of her hearing it, but because they were in a crowded room, and if anyone else overheard them, it could make things awkward.

Then he was distracted. As memories from living in Wonderland surfaced. He hadn't expected to remember anything. He had been a toddler when they had been taken to Kansas. Something special stood out to him, though. He and Maddie had known each other. That made sense, of course, since their fathers were...friends, he supposed. There they were, both little, listening to Chesire tell stories about all the lands. It was a sweet memory. He smiled at Maddie and then nodded. "Same. I remember being in Wonderland." His smile was whimsical.

Edus Penior


Skill: Healing




"If we can get as close as possible via the sewer systems, that would be ideal." Ed said. He then turned to Pietro and said, "Let me see what I can do." He gave him a reassuring smile before placing one hand gently on either of Pietro's arms and casting his spell.

The orange light spread up Pietro's arms. He would feel it as a slight warmth, and then his arms would be mostly healed. It hadn't completely healed it, but Pietro wouldn't have to wait more than a few minutes to heal the rest of the way. Ed nodded, satisfied. "That should help. Don't go lifting anything for like thirty minutes, but I think you should be fine quickly here." He explained.

Skills: Enhanced Reflexes (passive)





Andy laughed. She couldn't help it. Zari was adorable playing in the rain that way. She shrugged and joined her. Why not? She was already wet. Growing up, she hadn't had many chances to play in puddles, so this was nice. Hopefully, she wouldn't have to fight anyone soaked the way she was. And she'd have to make sure her jacket to didn't shrink. Those things nagged at the back of her mind, but she pushed them back, trying not to focus on them and just enjoy the sensation of playing.

"I want to talk to you about something." She said after a few minutes. The other thing that was on her mind. "I do like you, Zari. And I don't know if you understand what I mean by that, and it is okay if you don't. But I want you to know that if you like me back, that'd be great. But if you don't, that's okay too. I'm happy just being your friend. I don't understand completely what you're dealing with. It sounds like a lot, and it is a mess. What I do understand kind of scares me. Especially the part where it means you've time traveled, and it sounds like you aren't even born yet. This is just weird to think about because that means I'm seventeen years older than you, at least. Even though it doesn't feel like it because you're here looking the same age as me. It's all confusing. But I don't have any ties. I don't have anyone. Or I didn't till I met you and the others. I want to help you, though. As I've said before. So I'm here for you, okay."

She felt like she had said too much. Mostly just word vomit, and she doubted her point had really gotten across, but at least she had told Zari what she felt.



Niah Bautista





Location: Mount Rushmore, South Dakota
Skills:



"Well, Air Niah will be open for business again after some food and a nice comfy bed. I don't care where the bed is, as long as it is soft and has pillows and a blanket. Also, preferably doesn't have bed bugs." She really didn't care. As long as it was something resembling safe. She realized now that the fight was over she was bone tired.

Though a part of her was nervous about trusting the armor for that long of a distance. It didn't seem to be cursed. She had been able to remove it and still sort of control it. So maybe it would be fine. But she also didn't want to become too dependent on it.

Location: In the van -> Streets of New York City
Skill:





"Thank you for the ride, Argus." Andy said before she climbed out of the van. She didn't want to leave Arthur's side, but it seemed it was time. They were going separate ways. When Arthur got out of the van, she gave him a hug. Hoping it wouldn't be their last.

She looked up at her aunt. "Which direction are we going?" Where they needed to go was a little less straightforward. She looked around the city. It was weird being back in a city. She had done so much travel on her own for so long that part of her wanted to disappear into the crowd and forget it all. But she knew she'd never leave Arthur behind. So she had to do the quest so they could be back together again.








Location: In the van -> Streets of New York City
Skills:




She nodded as Jason explained. She wasn't surprised. His experience in California was the same as a layover while flying. "I figured we'd see about taking the Amtrak. Worked well enough for me before. They could also fly since none of them were children of Neptune.

Well, Mortals aren't supposed to know about New Rome."[/color] Niah said; she smiled sadly. California was her home too now. Those hills were where she wanted to be more than anything. "We are going to Mount Tamalpais. I've been there once before." She was proud that she didn't look at Mads as she said that.

"As for the island. I'm not sure what you mean." She tried to think of what Stella could be talking about. "When did this happen?" If it had happened before Niah had come to California, that might explain why she didn't know about it, at least. Though Stella seemed a little young, she was old enough that Niah hadn't been there for most of her life. She had only lived at Camp Jupiter for five years, and those had been fast-tracked.

Niah took her turn, getting out of the van as soon as she could. She collected her group's money from Argus. Niah wasn't used to being the one in direct control of a group, as both Nancy and Mads had stronger personalities than her, but she knew her way around the ticket counter. And wasn't certain Jason or Stella, especially Stella, could get away with ordering tickets from the Amtrak station.


Ed Penior

Ed wondered briefly if there was any way he could help Stark but doubted his magic was the correct type. As he was thinking, a memory flickered to the surface. One he knew wasn't his. He hadn't trusted his counterpart here. Now he had even more reason not to. Torture. He shivered. Then tried to focus back on the conversation at hand.

He wanted to talk to the group without Klara present. If he went with the other team to the tower while Klara went to the ship, that would give him the chance. But that would also put her out of his sight and he wasn't certain he wanted to trust her. Could he bring it up with Runa and see if she could tell? She was a goddess of lies. She might be able to tell if Klara was the real one. Damn, he wished he had gotten a hair from the Klara with Frost.

"I'm fine with going with either group. However, if we think we might find something useful for helping Danger at Stark tower, I think we should go to Stark Tower and then to the Mansion. Rather than splitting up." That made the most sense to him. And maybe he'd get a chance to speak to someone without Klara in earshot and not lose her.

Niah paced. She didn't know how long she'd have to wait until her and Oliver could be reunited. She did know that a good portion of her irritation at being separated from him was not totally her own feelings. It was this version. At least for her if her or Oliver's memories got fiddled with as much s Flynn and Amelia had she'd remember Oliver. Maybe not the others. But she'd remember him. She clung to that like a life raft. That and the fact that her alternate lives were still there intact. She'd remember everything up to the re-write of history and also the House of M stuff. Now that would be really messy. Why did her brain have to be so messy?

She listened to the conversation of the others. Not joining. Though she wasn't totally excited about Charles Xavier showing up. And who knew which part of her was upset about that. She had spent so much time dissecting her memories and putting the pieces into place and now it was jumbled again. She looked to Raynor, waiting for his answer to Cass' question. She wasn't certain what to think of the fact that Xavier and Magneto apparently were buddy-buddy here.

"We aren't just new to the island. We're new to this world. We are actually from a completely different reality. Whatever is happening to Flynn and Ameilia is some weird mental thing where the memories of themselves from this world write over their memories from our world. We have to fix it." Matt tried to explain. Not that he totally understood what was going on well enough to give a good explanation. Maybe Oliver could explain it better.

"We came through some sort of... uh portal. I guess. We were investigating two missing prisoners. And it opened and brought us here. We've confirmed that they are in this world, but we need to find them. One of them is a different version of Luminous, but Niah confirmed that the one who was among the group earlier isn't the one we're looking for." He trusted that Niah could do that. She could tell if someone was a Skrull after all.
