Prior to heading to New Orleans Ed made sure his items were in order. He gathered his cloak, he didn't often wear it in the mansion. Something he was thinking might be important to keep on him after their forced space adventure. He also put on the amulet from Klara. Its power would be useful in this fight and he was thankful for the kind gift.

Ed holds up the spell components for his tracking spell. This close to her would lead him in a straight line to her so it wouldn't take long to find her. "We don't have to be too obvious. I can start tracking her." He nods at the two new to join them in the garden.

Mary likely knew they were there, especially considering how Rogue and Gambit had just arrived. He sets to his spell, taking his time to make sure he did it right. Ed held a chain with a crystal at the end, the crystal was wrapped in the strand of hair he had from Mary. It snapped to attention. "She should be that way.

Andy froze a bit when asked about her birthday. Then she straightened and nodded. "Yeah, the seventh. I'll be twelve." Twelve didn't feel like a big year. Thirteen would mean more, and it seemed an eternity away.

"I don't like my birthday though." Andy said honestly. "Before coming here they were never great. I liked last year." She didn't say it was because of Arthur. She didn't know when or if he'd return to camp.

Niah frowned at the compass. She didn't recognize the symbols, and that concerned her. A mysterious item showing up that she didn't know anything about was concerning. Niah wanted to ask the Legionnaire follow-up questions but now wasn't the time. For now, she pocketed it.

"I agree. However, due process." Niah responded. She went into the Senate hall. Niah took her seat. She was a Senator. As she took her seat Niah let her Power of Oaths sweep through her.

Roll for Oaths. Has anyone there broken an Oath? She is focusing on Leandra.

"If teams are the way we are going I'll stay here and help Mary." The two had connected, he felt, during their second to last mission. She had trusted him when he knew something was wrong with Klara. On top of that, he had no desire to return to space. Once had been more than enough and the second time had fully removed his desire for space exploration.

For now, he remained on the Mansion side of the portal. It was clear that it was Max and his family's home on the other side of the portal and he wasn't one to wander into people's homes uninvited. Especially when those people were powerful sorcerers. Ed remembered one family member who had booby-trapped most of his home so anyone without the passcode or an amulet key would be kicked out of the place painfully.

Mandy parked the car, letting Hannah out of the car. She was oblivious to the news cast, but she didn't miss the accident. She made a strangled noise. "Call 911." She told Hermes. Someone had to, and she couldn't without going through hoops.

Mandy made sure she had the kitten in the bag and started over toward the man who had been hit and the woman. She wasn't trained to help people. She wasn't a nurse or anything, though she did have medical knowledge. Learning about animals required a lot of biology knowledge.

As Mandy checked the man over she could tell that he was still alive but he needed medical help quickly. "Tell them what happened and he is alive but not doing well." She signed at Hermes, trying to keep her signs slow enough and clear for him. Her hands were shaking slightly.

Andy did not agree that Ed deserved a second chance. She had seen what could happen if someone was left unchecked. Maybe Sabine had fixed it so Ed wouldn't do wrong again. He seemed to be regretting it. She wasn't sure how Sabine had done that. How easy was it to just pull a part of someone out of them?

Could she do that to Selene?

April was upset. Andy would have tried to comfort her, but two things stayed her hand. One, she wasn't that close with April to feel comfortable touching her, and second, she didn't trust her touch. Andy hadn't touched many people since leaving her own time. Mads seemed to take that into hand though. Andy nodded mostly to herself. She didn't want to leave Ed alone yet. Not until she was certain what was going to happen. The others had started to disperse.

They also needed to figure out what to do about the downstairs copies, or in Mary Sue's case in the room with them. For now she turned her attention to Zari. "Will the copies of us disappear? Or do we have to do something about this?" She wasn't certain about this since Zari hadn't been born yet in her time, and going to the future hadn't caused any copies to be made.

Andy nods at Stella's explanation of the words she had used. That makes sense. If you have two parents of the same gender you can call them the same name, like Mom or Dad, you have to use a different nickname to differentiate who you are talking to. It would be very confusing otherwise.

Andy takes off her shoes and socks letting her feet sink into the sand. She smiles sadly at Kristin appreciating the reassurance. "I'm sure we will." She nods agreeing. If they didn't...Andy doesn't want to think about those options. She wasn't the only one missing Mads, there were others that were upset. It wasn't just her though. She missed Arthur. With her birthday coming up she didn't know how she would spend it without him. He had made the birthday a good day. It had been the first she had liked.

"Appearances can be deceiving. She has 'allegedly' betrayed the whole of New Rome." The quotes around allegedly were obvious in Niah's voice. Her voice may not have been dripping with the venom she felt, but that was only because she knew she had to remain neutral. She'd do a proper read on Leandra during the trial and determine if she had broken her Oath to New Rome.

She took the offered item, a compass. Niah looked it over curious about it. Wondering if there were markings that she would recognize. She had a thought pop up that she hoped it wasn't cursed. It was too late she had already taken the compass. Niah frowned a little while examining it.

Roll for Niah to identify what the compass is (and does) and where it came from. :)

"You are enough." Mandy says seriously before starting to follow the directions to Hannah's house. As she drives she watches what is happening. Her stomach tightens getting more nervous.

"Listen to the radio." She tells Hermes. "Let me know if there is news." Mandy was upset about leaving her family behind. What if something happened in her parent's neighborhood? What if... There were many what-ifs, Mandy didn't want to go down that path.

Mandy wasn't sure what was happening yet. Some illness was causing this. How did it pass? She hated masks cause they covered people's mouths and it made dealing with hearing people harder, and got rid of a whole part of the grammar of ASL.

Ed leaned in and whispered, pointing at each person and telling Klara their name so she would know. He did it for everyone, even the ones she had just met, mostly as a refresher and just in case she had forgotten already. Names were hard, especially in large groups. The only one he didn't name was Runa since he figured Klara would know her cousin.

He listened to the back and forth about Mary. He was unsurprised about Mary's mental health. He had had his suspicions since the other world. Sometimes Mary wasn't quite right and that aligned with what was being discussed, that was before the Phoenix had even appeared too.

Max opening the portal did give them faster access to New Orleans, but he agreed with Annie, that they should gather things before jumping in. Max seemed to be a jump-before-looking type. Ed did have his equipment on him so if they all left right away he would have everything he needed. Ed raised an eyebrow and waited to see if the whole group would follow Max, or if they would make a plan before diving into an issue they knew precious little about.

Only Jean's perspective could shed light on these issues. It was important to know if she would be joining them. If she did there was a possibility of the Phoenix force being upset at her. It was a risk. One they'd have to assess if they were willing to take. There was also the matter of, whether Jean wanted to go near it. Guin had opened the conversation a little with Jean. Ed knew some, mostly tabloid versions, of what happened with Jean and the Phoenix. He would not make negative presumptions. If she was here it was to help. But how much help was she willing to give?

"Jean, I realize what is happening is going very quickly, but before the rest of us decide to follow after Max I think it is important to know your stance on the matter. Will you be joining? I, at least, understand if you have no desire to be in the same city as the Phoenix force. There is risk involved if you go. But your knowledge would be invaluable."

Andy wouldn't say she was used to time travel, but it was only a little disorientating. Especially since she knew she was downstairs, she was killing that freshman down there. The only thing she felt bad about was that the time travel was necessary. She should have let Zari handle it. She was the technopath. So she had when they stumbled backward. Andy waited.

The other students were freed, and all of them were angry, did they know how close they had come to death? Mary Sue did, but she had escaped and traveled back with them. Andy had gotten her licks in on Arcade. As much as she would have enjoyed draining the life from him, it would have been very satisfactory, Andy figured the others deserved the chance. So Andy waited again.

She maneuvered, blocking Arcade so he would have nowhere to run if he was so inclined. She'd make sure he was taken down tonight. After the others walked away she would be the last, and she would make sure he had breathed his last.

Ed frowned at the message from Guin. He understood why she did it, but that didn't make him appreciate the invasion of his mind. If it were anyone else he would be slamming up more mental fortifications. However, she was just sending a message in the fastest way she could. He finished his sandwich while Klara worked her magic. He was impressed it worked through the phone. Maybe his family was just too old-fashioned?

"Is it Mardi Gras season?" Ed asked, then shook his head, that question wasn't important. Focusing on Mary was. With Guin's message confirming their fears he knew they needed to act now.

He joined the others down in the Danger room. It would be best for everyone to gather before starting to talk. At least they had an idea of where she was. He didn't know how big New Orleans was, but he knew it was in the southern states. It was a good thing they had ways to teleport there. Ed knew the drive would be long otherwise.
