Andy nodded. "Thank you." She handed the sword over to Persephone. That was one less thing they'd have to worry about. "Can you tell Arthur hi for me." She wanted him to know she hadn't stopped thinking about him during their quest. She wished he was there with them now.

Andy stood near Stella. There was something about holding up the weight of the sky with someone that bonded you with them. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. That and with Arthur not at camp that left Andy as the youngest other than Stella.

"If you can, send Jason back to camp, that would be appreciated." Bringing him back on their own would be impossible so he'd probably end up buried here, or in whatever door the group from the Labyrinth had used and placed there until they could retrieve him. That sounded terrible.

"Terminus, will you join us at camp? All of the survivors of New Rome are at the Camp Half-Blood. We have things to do before we can win back home." Niah wished she could storm the place right that moment, but that wasn't going to happen. If Terminus went back to the camp he'd be able to let the senators know what happened, and that they were returning.

Ed was about to respond to Carolina and Avery when the booming voice carried through the building. He blinked. The voice sounded familiar, and they were bizarrely asking for Lance.

"Thank you both for the offers. If I find that I require aid you will be the first I ask." At that time the water bubble floated into the room followed shortly by Klara.

"Klara." Ed said surprised, he stood and smiled at her. Hoping that now she was in a better headspace and knew who she was. He couldn't be certain how much damage Loki might have done to her mind. He hoped that it had been resolved. "It is a pleasure to see you. I'm doing alright. Yourself?"

Andy shook, still holding the master bolt. The adrenaline of the fight started to fade away.

"We have the sword and the master bolt back. Atlas is returned to his place." She nodded at Damon. "We won." She didn't add for now. Or 'at what cost'. She liked Jason a bit. At first, she hadn't liked him, he had been rude to her brother. But she had warmed up to him. Now he was gone. They would have to tell his sister.

Niah was kneeling on the ground. She was crying and a primal scream came out of her. Andy went over and waited for her to calm down. Chocolate pressed up against Niah sensing that she needed comfort. Niah had been running on anger since Andy had told her what had happened to Mads.

Niah sank to her knees. Her hands were shaking. The fight was over. Jason was dead. She had more to do. She had no idea how the others were faring. How was Nancy? She definitely hadn't been in a good place when Niah had spoken to her. She had some regrets about that message but she knew she'd have more if she hadn't sent it.

Jason was dead. Mary was alright. Niah tried to let some of the anger and sadness she held slip away from her but it resulted in a scream. She wanted to kill Atlas. She couldn't but dear gods did she ever want to drive her sword into him. It would be a mosquito sting. It wouldn't make her feel better. After a moment she realized Andy was standing next to her and Chocolate was pressing against her side. She looked over at the hellhound and gave it a little pat on the head.

"Thank you." She said. Her voice cracked a little. Niah stood and dusted herself off. "Alright, what is next."

It felt good to talk about the things bothering him. Ed knew what this meant. He had accepted the X-men as his friends. Avery might not have been a given prior to them figuring out their familial relationship. Caroline had always struck Ed as someone who didn't like him. She seemed to be taking that he was unloading his personal problems well. He noticed the small freeze when he mentioned Cardiff.

"I have to prove to my grandfather that what has been said is a lie. If I just showed up at the estate I'd probably get removed. I fear sending letters will get ignored quickly as well. However, most of the younger people have cell phones. If I can get in contact with my mother. Maybe she can speak with him on my behalf. That may be the best avenue for me to return. It will take time though." Ed explained. He hadn't really known what he could do. As he thought of ways to contact his grandfather it had been one of the few options that seemed possible.

Mandy wrote, "Thank you! That's all." It was good she had come here. Now that school was canceled for the time there was no way she could have done the tests and shots there. She made sure she had her stuff and headed over to the pet store in the same little strip mall.

She grabbed a cart and figured she'd best get enough for a month. She remembered how COVID was supposed to be two weeks and then it ended up longer and longer. If it was worse than that, she'd just get stuff delivered like they had before. She went through the cat isle looking for dry and wet food. She also made sure to get a collar, a carrier (she found one of those cool backpack ones), a litter box and all the other random things that were good when you had a new kitten.

Her parents weren't going to be surprised. It wasn't the first time in Mandy's life she had brought home a random pet. It wouldn't be the last either. She smiled as she gathered stuff and remembered the first animal she had rescued. It had been a baby bird. She had hand fed it for weeks before it flew away. For years after it would make its nest in the tree in their yard.

Mandy took a picture of the cart and sent it to her parents, with a picture of the cat. Her message read, "Sorry, not sorry <3"

Niah stuck out her tongue at Atlas when he was back under the sky. She no longer needed to fight him. There wasn't anything he could do anymore. So she turned her attention to the cyclopes. There were many. They had hurt Mary. Niah wasn't even certain if Mary had survived. She was certain Jason hadn't and she couldn't think about that right now.

Niah didn't know Mary very well, but she was already so upset with the death and destruction. She hated the gods at the moment. Sure Persephone was helping them and Terminus had always been a sort of family member for her. But in general the gods could suck it. She turned that anger to the cyclopes and started attacking them. She stabbed one and it turned to dust and with a back swing of her hand she killed another. She moved and went after a third but it was ready for her and moved so her swing went short.

Andy drew strength with her connection to Stella. Finally they were free from the burden. The gods were able to get Atlas back under the weight of the sky. She breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to lay down and let her body relax. But she couldn't the fight was still going on. There were cyclopes to deal with.

She picked up the Master Bolt. Even though it was her father's tool it seemed that it was fighting her. She tried to control it but it was difficult. When she finally had it somewhat under control she was able to use it to kill two of the cyclopes. That probably wasn't enough, but the bolt wasn't easy to control.

"Hello, Carolina." Ed placed his bookmark in the book. Then he looked up smiling at Carolina. He knew that prior to the first space trip Carolina and he didn't have the warmest relationship, so he was happy to see her greeting him. Ed knew what that meant. That his attempt at keeping distance from the members of the team had failed. He had known that for a while. In a way, it was nice to see that happening blatantly. Then Avery joined them.

"Ah, Avery." Ed's smile widened a bit at seeing his nibling joining them. Ed had always respected Avery and finding out that his run-away aunt was actually their mother had been... an event. It drove home how important change to the ways of the family was. He wasn't ready to return home. He wanted to make sure everything was going to be alright with Mary, and the others. Before he did. At least now he had some reassurance of time.

"It is a pleasure to see both of you." Ed's voice was soft to match the fact that they were technically in a library, even if it was a school library. "Please make yourselves comfortable." He turned his attention to Carolina and decided to open up.

"I am currently a bit upset with my grandfather. I didn't leave home on the best of terms. I had, unfortunately, burned my bridge some as I left. I am trying to rectify it and my grandfather isn't taking it well. However, I have hopes I can bring him around to my way of thinking. Officially, I'm not banned from the family estate, just strongly encouraged to not return. I fear my cousin." He leaned over slightly toward Avery, "That'd be cousin Lucas, he is actually like thrice removed, but other than me one of the oldest surviving males in the family after the attack on Cardiff." He centered himself again. "Anyway Cousin Lucas might have been telling tales to Grandfather to get him to consider naming him as the family heir. Lucas is an ass, so I can't really abide by that. But when I left I was too upset at the world to care. I honestly figured I'd join the X-men for a bit and die in a fight before having to deal with the repercussions of my actions. It was rather childish of me."

Mandy frowned reading the CDC website. She was glad it had finally come up. She screenshot the most important information and sent it to her parents, adding that classes had been canceled so she'd be staying home.

It took her a moment to realize the vet tech was back, but they had the kitten. She smiled taking the cat back and gave them a thumbs up, a universal sign for thank you or your welcome. Mandy, being part of the Deaf community, felt it important to share the information she had just learned too. She showed the tech the CDC website. After the tech looked she pointed to the card reader to see if she needed to pay for the kitten's shots or blood panel.

Andy felt her body waver and glitch and she looked up. The flash of hearts told her exactly what she needed to know. She had two lives left. It was unlikely this was a fair version of the game where more lives might be found, was that Mario Bros? She hadn't played in so long.

"It'll be alright Mary Sue. Don't worry." She tried to say it reassuringly. She didn't feel confident about it. "Just uh...aim for the enemies. I know Shy Guy's are normally enemies but this one isn't" She cracked a smile. Andy wasn't certain if she liked that Arcade had set her up as one of the most common enemies of the games. At least she wasn't the only one. Dorian and Danny thinking this was just for fun made Andy twitch a little. Did they pay attention? Percy got it though, and that was helpful.

"I'm not super good, but I've played. Platformers were not my favorite. I also haven't played since I was like fourteen." At fourteen Andy had gone into a very different school than Avenger's Academy. She shuddered a bit at the memory. "Zelda seems to have played Mario before. We need to traverse the levels to get to the boss. If I remember right there are flags at the end of each that we'll have to tag. The pipes will take us through shortcuts and to special areas, but they also sometimes have enemies, plants that'll eat you, that pop out." She dug through her memories of the games, and not just the situations around having played. With the materialized block that Mary Sue had set up, they had some protection, but they needed to keep moving.

For now, though she jumped up onto the blocks over their heads. It wasn't easy. The change in dimensions was hard to deal with. Hopefully, she'd get more used to it.

Ed had sent his grandfather a letter after his conversation with Max. His grandfather's response had been a terse one. Trying to get permission to even visit the estate was looking grim. When Ed had left the family he hadn't given himself as good of a retreat back as he had thought. It would take some time to be back in his grandfather's good enough graces to return. Ed had a theory that his cousin was behind some of the issues. He hadn't thought he had said some of the things that his grandfather claimed he had said. They weren't impossible, but it was unlikely.

It was probably a good thing though. It gave Ed time to decide what to do. How to move forward. He made sure he had a Will drafted. There was a line regarding heirs, so while he had none at the moment if he didn't get a chance to update before...Max met him, the daughter would be taken care of. A few other ducks were put into order.

For now, he was taking advantage of the quiet and was reading in the library. He knew things wouldn't stay quiet. They never did at the school. He didn't know if he was imagining tension or it was just because now with all the space refugees gone it felt like something was bound to happen.
