"Awesome." From her tone, it was clear Andy did not think going down the creepy stairs was awesome. But she took a deep breath and started down. It had been dark until the lights came on, and the only thing reassuring about that was that Chocolate could use the shadows.

When they saw the Sphinx, though, Andy shook her head. She was not good with riddles. Andy was barely literate before coming to Camp. She had taken some lessons and gotten a few coping mechanisms for Dyslexia since that was a common trait in half-bloods. But she still wasn't well read. Or would be considered smart by any standard.

"I'll explain as best I can. And don't worry about it too much, the monster thing. They'll show up whenever they feel like, to be honest." She had to bite back an automatic response to Jason that it was good he couldn't find his way to New Rome. Relations between the two camps were supposed to be better. And she was a Senator. She wasn't going to push the old feud, especially in a time of need like this. Niah smiled at the strange dog that seemed to claim Stella.

She went to the counter. "Hello, could I get three tickets to San Francisco. Two teens and a kid." She asked when she got to the front of the line at the ticket counter. She hoped a train would be leaving soon. They also might have to do transfers. But at least they'd get going.

"That will be $315," The ticket agent said. Niah's heart dropped. That was so expensive. She checked how much she had been given; it was only $100 in mortal money. She had that much again in her own money, but that wasn't enough for all three of them still. Not to mention eating.

"I don't have that much." She looked at the ticket agent sadly.

"I can get you three on a Grayhound for $214." The ticket agent person offered.

"I've got two hundred. How far would that get us?" She knew the ticket agent probably thought this was suspicious at this point, but there wasn't much choice.

"Kansas City, Missouri price is 192." That didn't leave much for food, but maybe the others had some cash and even had packed some food. She had some snacks, but real food would be hard to come by. She, however, was not going to make that choice by herself. Niah turned to the other two.

"Well, what do you two think? We can get to Missouri and then figure it out from there. That at least gets us part way." She waited to hear their opinions.

After being led back into the Healing Grove, Niah was relieved to see that Oliver was okay. They hadn't done anything strange like turned him into a hamster. Niah smiled at him before following Professor X's directions.

Upon opening her eyes, Niah was both surprised and not. It wasn't a huge leap to figure out she was in her mental mindscape. And that it obviously had variations of herself in it. Her soul was a bit shattered in that way. Niah watched as each of the versions of herself seemed to struggle to reach a book. She stepped over and went to grab one to help. But the Niah grabbed her arm. Gripping so tightly, Niah worried about the bone breaking. Her eyes were void - just white. “What gives you the right?” the Niah hissed.

"I'm sorry." She whimpered out, grimacing against the pain. "I just wanted to help." That's all Niah really wanted to do. Help people, even when at a detriment to herself.

Matt's heart dropped. He knew exactly what would happen if he didn't get to the pressure chamber. There would be diving suits there. He had only one hope of getting off the sinking sub with his life. However, he didn't know if this was what needed to happen. Matt could guess that this was some sort of test for himself to survive being subsumed by the version of him that lived in this universe. Was escape the right choice?

He couldn't deliberate that, though. Time was of the essence. Subs didn't do well once their hull was cracked. He had preferred boats for a reason. Matt followed the normal pattern of a submarine. He found the room he wanted. But it was the worst-case scenario. The hatch to the room was welded shut. He cursed under his breath. Mentally trying to recall emergency procedures he had never needed.

"Later." He said, responding to both Mary and Annie. He was glad he had said that as some of the others started returning, including Klara. The conversation would take time because he would have to show Mary that he could trace the counterparts before then showing that Klara's counterparts didn't match. He had to make sure they could do that uninterrupted.

They had all been together. Now with three of their number out of the room, getting to the Stark Tower would be more difficult. He glanced at Guin, making sure she seemed to be keeping it together. He didn't think her reaction had been unreasonable. Ed imagined if his sister's ghost appeared randomly, he'd have a similar reaction. Even if ghost might not be the right term.

Rose was surprised that Merlin went for the brute force approach of breaking down the door. She had seen quite a bit of reliance on magic and had expected him to do that instead. She followed him inside and glanced around. Then started giving a helping hand with setting up camp. She wondered if the tower was big enough for everyone. But they would at least be able to get the injured inside.

Rose half watched Rosalia. Sort of making sure she didn't wander off into the woods again. But also curious because the other girl had said she had been at this tower before. She wondered what Rosalia remembered of the place. Had she grown up near here? Or was this Rapunzel's tower.

Colby nodded at his dad. That didn't feel weird anymore. Well, not as weird as it had felt. Now that he had memories from living here. Though he had been very young, he thought probably the youngest out of the group. It was reassuring to have those memories of his early life. Before the orphanage, before being adopted.

He followed him down the hall. Picking up the kitten without even thinking about it, giving the kitten head scratches as he walked. He had left Jackson Galaxy at the shop, but Silky, he knew he could summon if he needed her. But it was second nature to pet cats that asked for it.

Andy was relieved. She would have been fine with just about any reaction from Zari, except if she had been like, 'I never want to talk to you again, creep' that would have been heartbreaking. But she got probably the best possible reaction she could have hoped for. Andy smiled.

"That is okay that you aren't good with words. I'm not that great with them either." Andy hadn't grown up sheltered, but she also hadn't had the best education, so there were a lot of gaps. She held out her hand for Zari to take if she wanted. So they could keep playing in the rain together.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

"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.
