Well, that ended all of that. Maleficent was gone. Sealed away. Rose sighed and looked at Cassiopeia. She pulled Cassiopeia into a hug. She was thankful to be out of that fight. She'd very much like to live a quiet life after this.

"I want to see my childhood home. But I don't think I want to stay here forever." She looked at Merlin. "Would we be able to traverse between the two worlds?" Rose didn't want to give up her mom, and this world, but she didn't want to live here full-time.

Colby saw Maddie and ran straight to him. Colby started checking him over and found the wounds inflicted on him. For the magic that Colby had he couldn't heal. Maybe that'd be something he'd have to learn.

"That's okay. I was almost stabbed too...also there was a dragon." He grinned his standard lopsided grin. "What about you do you want to stay here or return? Personally, I want to stay. I want to have magic and everything else that this world has." Colby looked at his father, "As long as you're okay with it? I mean I want to see Wonderland."

Andy nodded along to Zari and Mary Sue's explanations. Both of them had been sheltered a bit in different ways. So they just hadn't crossed paths, despite their parents being friends.

"That's fair." She almost made a joke about her past and how she knew one of the students here from years ago. Andy kept it to herself though, she'd tell it to Zari later.

The line got a little shorter, but it wasn't their turn yet. "This thing must be super scary." She was impressed by how freaked out everyone was. She wondered what was inside it to scare people so universally. Andy wasn't sure what to talk about, but she figured the best would be to find something in common with Mary Sue and try to make friends with her outside of their little group.

"So what do you like to do? We haven't gotten to talk much outside of practice. I like watching bad movies, especially horror films. I also boxing." Andy considered talking about why she was into boxing, but that got uncomfortably into her past.

Ed clenched his jaw slightly. That mass healing had not been easy. "I am a sympathetic healer." Ed added to Bethany's explanation. If Robert had any clue about magic that would explain everything.

Ed was about to start making the rounds for those he didn't have a hair for when chaos erupted yet again. Metal tore into his flesh.

Robert's yelling was a little disconcerting and if he had included him in the 'yanks' thing that was just wrong. Ed was not a yank he was from Cardiff, making him Welsh. His accent was clearly non-American, with a slight sing-song to it that was indicative of the Welsh accent.

Bubble as much of shards as he can, especially the big ones, to make them less dangerous as they fly around.

Her arrows were basically useless against Maleficent. "That's not my fault, Layla, she's stopping them." Rose sighed. Maddie was pulling out the Genie's lamp and he made his wish. She arched an eyebrow. That wasn't the worst wish. She did still think they should have decided on the wishes prior to storming the castle, but too late now.

The Genie came out and she had a pang of sadness for Robin Williams. He snapped his fingers and Maleficient became useless, well magically useless. She attacked Maddie with a sword. Quickly, Rose shot some more arrows at Maleficient, now that she was no longer magical she hoped to get through her defenses. But between movement and trying to avoid sticking a friendly Rose was only able to graze her.

Colby had been fighting to protect himself. However, the dragons that were apparently on their side caused the morale of all the soldiers to vanish and they ran away. Chickens.

As they progressed there was a lot of fire and smoke. All things considered that made sense. He reached out with his magic and tried to put the fire out. He didn't have a lot of ideas on how to do that. And nothing happened. So he figured that he would need to work on that or, it wasn't something he could do. Instead, he just pulled his shirt up to cover his mouth and nose.

Andy's lip turned up slightly watching the two dogs play. It didn't make her feel better, but it was cute. She looked at Persephone, blinking in surprise at her explanation of Arthur's location. She didn't like that. She hadn't seen what had happened to Ash, but it had scared Arthur. He had become so scarred by Ash and then later Des' deaths. She didn't imagine he would appreciate being in his father's realm all that much. It also meant he had been taken from his quest group which meant they were down a person. Had they found a third?

Andy didn't say anything she was thinking. She finally settled on, "Oh, thank you for telling me. Uh, if you see him soon can you tell him that Mads fell." He'd know what that meant. He had promised to help get her back. She glanced over seeing Naih screaming Nancy's name.

Tears fell down Niah's face. She hated this moment. Hated it all. She wanted to curse the gods for tearing apart her little family. Her friends were her world. Her sister was most likely dead. And now the sister of her heart had fallen. She knew that once Nancy was out of the hell hole she was in they'd go together, probably with little Andy, to find Mads. They'd get her back.

"We'll get her back, Nancy. We knew this was going to happen, we will get her back." But as she spoke she realized no sound was coming through. Nancy was quiet though obviously crying. She should be getting the sounds of her cries, but there was nothing. The silence was all-encompassing. "Nancy!" She called out, yelling, hoping her friend could hear her. But there was no reaction from her. Nancy was lost in her own grief, and Niah's screams could not penetrate. Into view came Zeke.

"Oh, thank goodness. Zeke! Mads is gone. I had to tell Nancy and now..." She trailed off. It was obvious what the now was. And she wasn't sure if he could hear her.

Andy raised an eyebrow. So the pair of them were connected via Zari's mom, which meant her dad too. There seemed to be a lot of kids here that were children from that group. Andy didn't know much about them, but they had been operating when she was around. They were a secret group that had done missions for S.H.I.E.L.D., and that was about all Andy really knew. She felt a bit awkward around any of those kids, and of course Danni and Dorian, really more around Danni and Dorian. She may appear the same age as all of them but they had been born the year she had traveled to the future or shortly after. To her they were babies. That was probably the most difficult part of all of the time travel. She was glad that Mads didn't seem to be connected to any of them that way, it made the friendship with her a bit easier.

Then she heard Victoria yelling. She turned, the girl was at the front of the line but had apparently decided last moment to back out and not go in. She wondered why. Andy turned her attention back to Zari and Mary Sue.

"Must be scary." She gave a small shrug. Andy loved scary things so she wasn't worried about that. "So you've never met each other?" She asked a bit surprised. Their parents were friends (or had worked together) so she was surprised about that.

"Things could have been better. I am thankful we are all reunited." Ed smiled at Antoinette. Something was calming about her presence. He appreciated her.

"Good, glad you're feeling better, Lance." Ed wasn't fond of trying to heal people he couldn't see at all. His distance healing was normally across a battlefield. He shifted his attention to Mary who was to give the group direction.

Plans were laid out. They as a group would deal with Cortez. Ed considered what he could do. His normal tactic of locking down someone in a bubble wouldn't help here. He might put him in a half bubble so the group could hit him but not allow him to run away. He wondered if his shield could prevent Cortez from enhancing anyone's powers.

The thoughts were cut off when a fire flared and threw him into a wall. He had burns and hurt from hitting the wall. Ed winced and stood assessing his own injuries and the rest of the group. He wasn't sure what had happened but it had been big. The rattling of the walls hadn't helped the situation or his thoughts about why it might have happened. Magneto's little project was breaking at the seams already.

Ed looked around the group, Peitro, Guin and Bethany had disappeared, and everyone else looked at least a little hurt. He could try to do a mass healing on everyone he had hair for. Everyone else would have to wait. He placed his hand on the inner pockets of his jacket that contained the tiny vials of hair that had been neatly labeled (he still needed to label Jaclyn's, but at least he had her hair). Orange light emanated from his hand and then brushed against each person. The worst of the burns were cooled and reduced. People still had wounds, but they wouldn't be passing out from pain or anything now.

"Sure, we can do the haunted house." Andy was not afraid of that sort of thing. She enjoyed it more than the average person to be honest. As they were walking toward the Haunted House Mary Sue came over and said hi.

"Hey, Mary Sue. Uh, have you met my girlfriend? This is Zari. Zari, this is Mary Sue she's on my team. She does cool constructs. I don't really know how it works, but they are useful." Andy did like Mary Sue, though the girl seemed rather nervous and uptight. "We were going to the Haunted house. Do you want to join us?" She offered.

Andy glanced and saw a line forming by the haunted house. She frowned, wondering if it'd be worth waiting in line or swinging by it when things had calmed down. She also wondered when they'd be doing announcements. She wouldn't want to be in the house when the announcements were made. That'd either interrupt the fun of the house or she'd miss the announcement.

"I think I have enough control to not make out in the middle of a battle." Rose rolled her eyes at Layla, but she was smiling. Of course, she'd love to kiss Cassie, but as much as she wanted to now was not the time or place for it. After all the enemies were dealt with seemed more reasonable.

And there were ten new guards to deal with. She lifted her bow, knocked an arrow, and started firing. She figured hitting Maleficent wasn't going to be easy, but she was happy being support and taking out guards. Before she could get off the arrow though Rosalia crushed the guards with a chandelier, it was cliche and hilarious. So she shifted and shot at Maleficent. She sent as many arrows as she could in quick succession, but Maleficient blocked them all.

Jack had opened the gate for them, giving them access to the courtyard of the castle. How he did that Colby wasn't sure, but whatever they were there now. Guards started coming at them. There was also a bull for some reason, but it wasn't being aggressive so that wasn't his problem.

Colby cast a fireball in the crowd of oncoming guards. A few fell to the flames, but there were still a lot of them. Colby cast another one, this time they seemed to be anticipating it since they dodged it. A third was musted but this one went wide and missed everyone. He needed a moment to compose himself. And figure out a new tactic.

Andy pulled herself together. Stepping away from the goddess she had been ugly crying on. She dried her face off with her sleeve. "Uh, thanks. And sorry. I didn't...mean to cry like that." She said, while shifting, not quite looking Persephone in the face. "I want to send an Iris message too. I need to talk to Arthur." She didn't know what she would say, but she wanted to see him. Wanted his reassurance that he'd help.

She stepped away and found a bit of rainbow. But the Iris message wasn't working. It should have. There was a rainbow. She frowned. "Chocolate," She leaned down and pet the dog. She wanted to ask him why he wasn't with Arthur. But the dog couldn't talk.

Andy sighed and rejoined the others. "Maybe Arbor can play with Chocolate." Andy suggested to the girl her age. She realized she did not remember her name, but that would be super embarrassing to say. Maybe she'd introduce herself to Damon and she'd be saved that embarrassment. To the others, she said, "I can't get an Iris to connect with Arthur." She frowned.

Niah wasn't a hundred percent sure where Nancy was, but she guessed likely already in the Lotus Hotel. She cursed at herself. Of course, she was. Here Niah had to tell her the worst news in the worst place.

"Mads fell. She's in Tarturs." Niah didn't know all the details, just that the stupid prophecy had come true. That one of her best friends was gone. Andy had said it, and Mary had given her the damn crystal, which was now carefully tucked into her backpack.

She wished she could reach through the Iris message and hug Nancy. The three of them getting split up was the worst thing. Together they could have handled anything. Anger at the gods flashed through her but was quickly squelched. They had a lot less say in fate than they acted like they did. They were stuck in their stories, dragging the rest of them along.
