Avengers Academy: Junior Year 💥

@Trainerblue192 Looks almost perfect! I think he technically has one too many powers, but as I just said to Beanie, I don't wanna make you give up a power that is intrinsic to the character - and I've already put down a lot of constraints. So that's fine. He then has 3 traits, and at rank 2, I think he should only have 2? Well, 2 + Quick Learner. I just offered to Beanie to trade in Quick Learner for a different trait, so if you super need to keep those 3, we can do that. If not, let me know which one you'd wanna remove <3

@Achronum looks great!! move him over

Avengers Academy: Junior Year 💥

@PatientBean Few things!

1) She has too many traits. At rank 2, she gets 2 extra traits + any tied to her origin + quick learner as her occupation is student. I think keep the Surprising Power, for Edit Memory, and then pick one of the ones that's fame/beguiling/audience to keep? (I'd suggest famous). If you really wanna have 3, we can say that she swapped Quick Learner in for one of them.

2) Add the tag Heroic :)

3) At rank 2, she should have 8 powers max - with the addition of Surprising Power trait, she can then have 9. I think it would make sense to delete the brilliance powers entirely, as that brings her down to 10. All her other powers I think she has 100% used in the RP. However, Edit Memory is the more advanced version of Memory Blip and we waved that prereq, so maybe delete Memory Blip and that gets you down to 9 powers. I don't want to make you get rid of any others, so... I'm going to call this close enough.

Otherwise she looks great <3

History
Percy is the second child of Avengers Dominika and Maria Novikova, also former agents of SHIELD. His parents were part of the West Coast Avengers, regularly jaunting off to go save the world (or at least, the west coast of the United States). When the Avengers then transitioned from having limited and fixed rosters to becoming a global force where any Avenger could be called to respond at any moment, the family remained in San Fransisco. His parents would be taken off to work with a teleporter, whereas Percy and his sister Diana (three years his elder) would be put in daycare with the other Avengers kids.

Growing up, Percy was never really interested in playing with other kids. He liked to read, devouring just about any book that he could get his hands on. The classics were always his favorite. He was obsessed with Ancient Greece and its mythology, imprinting heavily on the Percy Jackson series (after all, he had the same name as the protagonist). When he wasn't reading, he would be off exploring, sometimes ending up in areas he had no business being. And when those and his other hobbies failed him, he'd watch reality TV with his moms and sister - he loved to criticize the outfits. It was his favorite part.

His sister's mutant power manifested first, as she displayed the ability to teleport. Percy was slightly jealous, thinking up what sort of cool power he might get. He had a little diary he carried around with him, where he'd record anything that could potentially be the sign of a power manifesting - ironically, he missed his power when it first came about. He had been wandering around in Chinatown and didn't notice that he could roughly understand everything that was being said. It was a few months later that both of Percy's abilities had manifested.

He properly noticed his first power when out at dinner with his family, when he calmly ordered his food in fluent Italian, despite only speaking English and Russian. His secondary power, a variation of his sister's power, he discovered while at school in gym class. It was dodgeball day and Percy suddenly disappeared and reappeared about ten feet away, just as a ball had been about to nail him in the head.

His sister had already been attending Avengers Academy for a little while before Percy was enrolled. It's his first year at the institute, as well as his freshman year of high school. And while he won't admit it, he's a little bit excited.

Personality
Percy does not behave like a fourteen year old boy - he's spiritually much closer to an angry old man. He looks down on pretty much everyone, assuming that they're too thick, stupid, and/or clueless to make the observations that he can. He doesn't trust others to take care of things, having a tendency to micromanage. Of course, Percy is exceptionally brilliant and bright, meaning that not only is he egotistical and a bit of a narcissist... he's usually correct. People tend to be incredibly frustrated by him, for good reason.

However, Percy is incredibly and fiercely loyal. Family - by blood and the ones he choose - mean everything to him. He would destroy the world for the ones that he cares about, a viciously positive train he inherited from his mother Novikova. Other people in the world don't really matter to him. In his mind, it's he and his against everyone else, billions of souls who just cannot matter as much.

He's snarky and sarcastic, and prone to dark humor. No one would describe him as nice, but he can be kind to those he deems worthy. He doesn't care what other people think about him. As long as his loved ones are alive and healthy, they could see him as the devil and he'd be fine with that.

Traits

• Determination - Percy never gives up, even when he feels like he's at his worst. While demoralized, he does not gain trouble on all actions, though he still cannot maintain concentration or spend further Focus.
• Connections (Avengers) - Percy's mothers are members of the Avengers. By making an Ego check, Percy can call on his moms to provide help in the form of clues, information, or resources.
• Quick Learner - If Percy fails an action check, he gains an edge on the check if he tries the same action again on his next turn.

History

April was born to Agent Bonnie Chase and Agent Freddie Flynn in spring 2022 at a SHIELD medical facility. Her mother had retired from active duty, transitioning into a lab based role at SHIELD. Their father was an active duty Operations agent, as well as a long lost son of the mutant terrorist, Magneto. By the time April was about five years old, her mother had been promoted to Director of Medical Sciences at SHIELD, so the family moved to Washington D.C. Their childhood growing up in the DC area was fairly normal, with occasional trips to Canada to visit her grandparents.

April really liked being an only child - or at least, from what she remembers they did. When she was very little, her mother gave birth to her younger sister and only sibling, Zelda. April didn't like Zelda at first, finding her loud and stinky - but once Zelda wasn't a baby anymore, April actually liked having someone around her own age to play with. Unfortunately, the sisters never became particularly close, as they had the opposite personality types and interests. April was very extroverted, whereas Zelda was very introverted.

April was about eleven years old when her X-gene activated and she gained her mutant powers. Their school had done a science field trip to the zoo. April had been admiring the hippos when the class bully had come on over and shoved April backwards. The bully's goons were jeering and laughing at them, and April saw red. The next thing she knew, the bullies had been doused with the water from the hippo tank and flung about twenty feet backwards. Needless to say, the school called her parents to come and get them.

Given that her parents were both working for SHIELD, April always wanted to save the world. She wasn't interested in wearing a costume though and fighting villains - they more wanted to save the Great Barrier Reef and stop corporations from polluting the waters. Her favorite comic book character naturally was Poison Ivy. She finished middle school and her mother recommended her for the Margaret Carter Academy, and April started taking as many courses in environmental science as she could. She really loves their school and dreams of saving the ocean and the planet.

And of course, April has a burning ambition to unseat the Young Avengers in the Contest of Champions before they graduate - and be elected Prom Queen and Class President and make Valedictorian too.

Personality

April's personality is a study in duality, and she takes after her parents a great deal. They are very positive, upbeat, and lively - which often translates to them going on and on without any end in sight, which can tend to grow old quickly for certain people. She's very passionate about the things she cares in and hyper fixates on them, learning all of the information there is to know - for example, she's very interested in the environmental, particularly the ocean, and has often talked at her mother for hours at a time about it. This drive has caused them to pretty much go through school effortlessly, as they're the sort of person who reads textbooks and Wikipedia pages in their spare time (at the beach though, of course).

But at the same time, they are incredibly competitive, always needing to come out on top and have the last word. They are very judgmental of other people, often making snap decisions about them and going to any lengths she has to in order to persuade other people to hold the same viewpoint that she does. It isn't enough for her to be right, she needs other people to recognize her as right. This also tends to drive them towards being a bit dramatic, blowing things out of proportion (mostly unconsciously, although on occasion they'll do it intentionally).

Traits

• Connections (SHIELD) - April's parents work for SHIELD. By making an ego check, April can call on them to provide help in the form of clues, information, or resources.
• Glibness - April can strike up a conversation with anyone at any time and can often convince them to lend a hand. She has an edge on Ego checks to persuade characters she is speaking to for the first time.
• Quick Learner - If April fails an action check, she gains an edge on the check if she tries the same action again on her next turn.

Powers

Elemental Control (Water & Ice)

• Special Effects triggered by a Fantastic success -
  • Water: Surprises target until the end of the next round.
  • Ice: Paralyzes target for one round.
• Elemental Barrier (Water): April forms a wall of water.
  • Prerequisites: Elemental Blast, Rank 2
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Concentration
  • Cost: 5 Focus
  • Effect: April forms a wall of water within her line of sight and up to 10 spaces away per rank. This covers up to 2 spaces across (vertically/horizontally) per rank. April makes an Agility check and compares the results against the Agility defense of any target in the affected spaces. On a success, April chooses which side of the barrier the target winds up on. On a failure, the target chooses. On a Fantastic success, the target suffers the element's special effect too.
    Attacks against the barrier are against April's Ego defense. Any attacks against it that do 10 points of damage or less are instantly absorbed, and the barrier continues. If an attack does more than 10 points of damage, it destroys the barrier. Either way, the attack leaves those behind the barrier unharmed.
• Elemental Blast (Water): April blasts a foe with water.
  • Prerequisites: Elemental Burst, Rank 2
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Instant
  • Range: 10 spaces
  • Cost: 5 or more Focus
  • Effect: April makes a ranged attack with an edge at any enemy in line of sight. For this attack, add +1 to April's Agility damage bonus for every 2 points of Focus she spends. On a success, an affected target takes that total damage. On a Fantastic success, an affected target takes double that total damage and suffers the elemental type's special effect.
• Elemental Blast (Ice): April blasts a foe with ice.
  • Prerequisites: Elemental Burst, Rank 2
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Instant
  • Range: 10 spaces
  • Cost: 5 or more Focus
  • Effect: April makes a ranged attack with an edge at any enemy in line of sight. For this attack, add +1 to April's Agility damage bonus for every 2 points of Focus they spend. On a success, an affected target takes that total damage. On a Fantastic success, an affected target takes double that total damage and suffers the elemental type's special effect.
• Elemental Burst (Water): April fires a burst of water..
  • Prerequisites: None
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Instant
  • Range: 10 spaces
  • Effect: April makes a ranged attack against an enemy in line of sight. If the attack is a success, it inflicts regular damage. On a Fantastic success, the enemy takes double damage instead and the elemental type's special effect.
• Elemental Burst (Ice): April fires a burst of ice..
  • Prerequisites: None
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Instant
  • Range: 10 spaces
  • Effect: April makes a ranged attack against an enemy in line of sight. If the attack is a success, it inflicts regular damage. On a Fantastic success, the enemy takes double damage instead and the elemental type's special effect.
• Elemental Grab (Water): April uses water to snare a target.
  • Prerequisites: Elemental Burst, Rank 2
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Concentration
  • Range: Varies
  • Cost: 5 Focus
  • Effect: April makes an Ego attack against a target's Melee defense within 5 spaces times April's rank. If the attack is a success, April grabs the target with water. On a Fantastic success, the target can also be pinned and suffers the element's special effect. Breaking free requires a successful Melee check against target number 20.
• Elemental Protection 1 (Water): April protects herself with water.
  • Prerequisites: Elemental Barrier, Rank 2
  • Action: Standard or reaction
  • Trigger: April is attacked or otherwise in danger.
  • Duration: Concentration
  • Cost: 5 Focus
  • Effect: April protects herself with water. Any attacks against her that do 10 points of damage or less are instantly absorbed, and the protection continues. If an attack does more than 10 points of damage, it destroys the protection. Either way, April remains unharmed.
• Elemental Sphere (Water): April can create a protective sphere of water.
  • Prerequisites: Elemental Protection 1
  • Action: Standard or reaction
  • Duration: Concentration
  • Cost: Same as April's Elemental Protection power
  • Effect: April envelopes herself - and any chosen people within up to 5 spaces times her rank - in a protctive sphere comprised of water.
    When the sphere is formed, April makes an Ego check and compares the results against the Agility defense of unwanted characters in the enclosed spaces. On a success, April can move any unwanted people within the sphere's perimeter to spaces outside of the sphere. On a Fantastic success, such moved people suffer full damage and the element's special effect.
    Attacks against the sphere are against April's Ego defense. Any attacks against the sphere are absorbed as if made against April's Elemental Protection power, and the sphere continues. If an attack does more damage than April's Elemental Protection power can sustain, it destroys the sphere, but no one inside is harmed.

Leda nodded, hoping that whatever the giant was crafting for them, it amounted to something along the lines of armor. Mads didn't need it as much when she shifted, but while in human form, it would be helpful. And if Leda wasn't going fast enough to outrun her enemies, she'd benefit from some as well. She couldn't help but feel nervous - they were close now, closer than they'd ever been before. If they could pull this off...

"I don't think we have another option," Leda replied softly to Mads, although she suspected the giant would still be able to hear them. He likely had better hearing than a demigod or a mortal. "This is our best chance at getting to the Doors of Death."

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

---

Location: Camp Half-blood
Skills: N/A

---

Shadows ensnared her from every side, binding her limbs, her arms, her legs - and as much as she struggled, she couldn't fight them off. Instead, she was repeatedly slammed from side to side, her body hitting the ground over and over again, until she was finally lifted up and suspended. Demi was yelling something about her hurting Zeke - why would she ever hurt Zeke??? In her rage, she hadn't been aware of her actions, aware of who else got hurt. Nancy was about to retaliate in turn, to enact the same pain vibrating throughout her body, the same bruises and humiliations, upon Demi, when suddenly...

Suddenly the anger vanished, deflating away, as a wave of artificial calm swept over her. Niah. Had it not been for Niah's powers, Nancy's anger would have only continued to multiply, having her emotions messed with - and then, it would have increased even more, as one of the Greeks came over to admonish them. Instead, her thoughts were clear and focused, even as Demi held her suspended in the air by shadowy tentacles.

Clear enough to see that she had hurt Zeke.

Had it not been for the artificial calm, that would have torn her to pieces.

And with this calm, it was easier for her to see where she had done wrong - the people that she had wronged here. She shouldn't have used that word. It had been thrown around carelessly in her childhood, and Nancy hadn't realized that it had lurked within her, coming out in a moment of rage. She shouldn't have hurt Zeke. She didn't regret, however, hurting Demi (physically).

"Demetri - I am sorry I used that word. I shouldn't have. I will do better," Nancy promised. "Zeke - I am sorry that I hurt you. I did not mean to. I only meant to attack Demi. I do not regret that. I do not think Demi regrets attacking me, either. We are not compatible people." Her words were strange, almost toneless - the calm removing her characteristic emotional bites, for better or for worse. "If you would put me down, I have a duty to fulfill."

Trick or Treat 2024

These tricks/treats go into effect when your character returns from Thanksgiving break

Leah - Treat - While everyone else had a parent or guardian that could be contacted, there was no one there to speak for Leah - something that the school, shockingly enough, hadn't even realized. In order to both tie up the legal loose end and ensure the safety of a young child, She-Hulk stepped up and filed the documentation necessary, with Leah's okay, to become her legal guardian. Leah has now been given access to She-Hulk's Los Angeles apartment, where a room has been set up for her, as well as a card giving her access to the West Coast Avengers' mansion. Jen has also gotten a trust fund set up for Leah, where she will now be making regular deposits - being an Avenger doesn't pay well, but being a lawyer as well certainly doesn't hurt.

Mary Sue - Trick - Mary Sue headed back to Cardiff over break, most likely hoping for something relaxing and uneventful. Instead, her grandfather sent his heralds to retrieve her father. The resulting fight was intense and bloody, Oliver ended up in the hospital in critical condition, and a scar across Mary Sue's left eye that rendered her partially blind. Her mother lost an arm, which will soon be replaced with a prosthetic. At least they won the battle. But Thanos is still out there, lurking.

Andy - Trick - Over Thanksgiving break, Andy will have had a hard time sleeping, bouts of insomnia that no medicine or magic seems to be able to dispel. The day before she is due to return to the Margaret Carter Institute, she'll finally get some much needed rest. However, when she wakes up, she finds herself in an abandoned building, a desiccated corpse at her feet, and wounds on her arms - as if someone had tried to fight her off.

Mads - Treat - Over the break, Mads went through a bit of a growth spurt! Her more demonic features came in and settled. She now has fanged teeth, a forked tongue, horns, a tail, and wings like those of a bat. With these wings, she now has the innate ability of flight. Her teeth are able to destroy most materials, save things like vibranium. Her tail is prehensile, so can be used to grab other objects and manipulate them. And her more monstrous form will give her advantage on intimidation checks.

Sabine - Treat - During the break, Sabine was plagued with strange, almost lucid dreams. In these dreams, she watched her mother as a young woman, striding confidently down the halls of a castle on the moon, a sword strapped to her side. She stood a few paces behind a tall man, with dark hair and a dramatic cloak, a crown on his head that indicated his station. Her mother seemed to be his bodyguard, following him wherever he went - from the scene of courtroom dramas to ghastly murders. No matter what Sabine did, no one noticed her in the dream.

Until the last night, right before students were due to return to the Academy, when her mother would look directly at Sabine, and say: "You are not your father's child, Sabine. You're his."

Zari - Trick - Zari and Andy have a great break, catching up with her parents in the alternate universe of Earth-667. Aside from Andy's issues, no trouble rears its head - until they get back to Earth-666, and Zari sees her time traveling device short out, reading a bunch of error messages that more or less amount to one thing... Earth-666, the universe our RP takes place in, is now cordoned off from the rest of the multiverse. No one can leave. No one can enter.

Zelda - Trick - Even before the business with Arcade, Zelda has often felt herself to be invisible, blending in with the surroundings and never truly being noticed. Perhaps that is more true now than ever before, as over the break, she fell ill with a horrible fever. The fever nearly required hospitalization, and when it broke, her body seemed to be fading out of existence. Within a matter of hours, she had become completely invisible - and so far, she hasn't figured out a way to control this power and reappear.

Dorian - Treat - For a living boy, Dorian shares a great deal in common with the dead - a fact that may endear him more to his Uncle Casper, or even his formerly dead father, Ben. Over the break, Dorian will discover another thing he has in common with ghosts - the ability to manipulate electromagnetism. He gains the ability to perform applications at the basic level per powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Electrom…

Danni - During the break, Danni ended up wearing himself out one day, so incredibly tired as he went to sleep. So tired, in fact, that the scent of smoke didn't wake him. In the midst of a nightmare, his powers activated... and burned his house to the ground. No one was injured, thankfully, the adults had been out seeing a show - and while Max would be able to fix the house pretty quickly with magic, the memories don't fade, and the smell lingers.

@Forsythe: As Vicky left the office, she didn't leave alone. Ser Nemo and Lady Nimue followed her on out, an ever present shadow. She had just confessed to the teachers wanting to kill herself. They had a duty of care to her - and allowing her to go off alone, without any supervision, was absolutely not going to happen. Lady Nimue would seem mostly disinterested, lost in her own thoughts without passing much judgment or even revealing emotions over Vicky's situation. Ser Nemo, however, looked visibly uncomfortable - Vicky wouldn't be able to determine if the discomfort was from her situation, or if there was something going on in the elderly man's life that was occupying his thoughts.

At any rate, Vicky would immediately receive a "thumbs up" emoji back from Gideon, in the Uncanny Avengers chat.

And at the bottom of the letter she meant to send to Agatha, cursive script would appear in purple:
I see you have encountered the White Witch's puppets. We will speak in New Orleans, soon.

The Contest of Champions was being hosted by Strange Academy this year, Agatha's current school. And even though she wasn't participating, Avengers Academy does allow students to travel to observe the contest. Vicky would realize that must have been what Agatha intended - for Vicky to still travel to watch the contest, and that they would speak about this in person.

From the window, Vicky would see a non-emergency medical vehicle pull up, with the logo of the California Asylum for the Genetically Enhanced on the side of it. Coulson then stepped out of his office and into the hallway. "Are you ready?" he then asked her.

By the time April had made it back to the dorms and was knocking on Danni and Dorian's door, Mads was there too, just across the hall. Her friend must have just gotten there a few seconds before she did, despite leaving Coulson's office sooner than she had. And as much as Mads was one of April's closest friends, the thought of crying her eyes out in front of Mads, of breaking down so completely... It was terrifying to her. It was a level of vulnerability she reserved for just Danni and Dorian. She didn't even show that side of herself to her family - to her parents, to her sister.

She took a steadying breath, and forced a smile onto her face. Everything was perfect. Everything was fine. She repeated those two phrases over and over in her mind like a mantra, doing everything she could to will it to be true. She was fine. She wasn't upset. Nothing had gone wrong. She didn't need to cry. She was happy, even. Thrilled. Ecstatic. Why wouldn't she be? What did she have to feel sad about? Everything was perfect and everything was fine.

"Yeah, everything is great!" April told Mads, somehow with a genuine cheerfulness to her tone. "I mean, that meeting with Coulson went really well! We don't have to worry about getting perfect grades anymore, and we get to shuffle around the teams! Like, not that I don't love my team - because I do, you all are the best - but if this means I could be on a team with Danni and Dori too? We've been talking about it since freshmen year, and there's only one more chance after this year - so like I'm really happy!! And think about how much better our chances of winning are going to be, with adding them to our team! And like the people who aren't into the contest, they can go onto another team, so they don't have to deal with us being extra and all, y'know. What about you? How are you doing? Is there anything I can do for you?" she gabbed, her speech quickened.

And then the door to Danni and Dori's room swung open, but rather than Dorian being inside, it was... Diana?

April titled her head, immediately confused. Why would Diana be inside of Dorian's room... without Dorian present? That was pretty weird. She didn't think Diana was particularly close with either of the boys anyways. Her brother was dating Dorian, yes, but that was the only connection that immediately came to mind for April.

They'd teleported away and left Diana behind? That was also incredibly weird. Nothing immediately came up to April as to a reasonable explanation for what would have happened - she pulled out her phone, shooting off a quick text in the group chat to the boys.

@Danni & Dorian

Is there, like, a reason why Diana was just chilling in your room by herself? Just came looking for you Dori and I'm so confused lmao. Like ???

She then put her phone away, returning her attention to Diana. She was a fast texter, thankfully. "Was just looking for Dorian, needed to chat with him about something," April said - it wasn't really a lie. "I just texted him asking where he is - thanks!"

She was fine.

She was okay.

Everything was perfect.

The smile on her face only hurt slightly, but it was somehow... working. She did feel good. Better. Energized, really. Like she could swim a thousand miles without breaking a sweat. She felt fantastic.

Guin hadn't really known what to expect as she went through the imagined door with Andy, sword in hand. Maybe a dragon - some sort of heroic scene, with a dramatic castle atop a pit of lava. Instead, they entered what seemed to be a serene field of flowers, without a threat in sight. They weren't alone either - two others were with them. Jean Grey (Guin tried not to roll her eyes at the former host of the Phoenix, tried not to complain that Jean hadn't done a ton to deescalate this situation just yet, as she knew the other telepath would hear those thoughts). And Mary - or a Mary that was, at least.

Guin squinted a bit at the child, trying to decide what this all meant - if this kid was all that was left of Mary, or just a fragment of a greater whole. Or maybe she was reading into it all too deeply. This stuff, telepathy mutant things, they didn't come to her as naturally as machines did. It was like taking a test where the stakes were life and death, but she hadn't even known what subject to study for. She gritted her teeth slightly. "What should we do, Jean? Ask the kid where to go? We're running out of time and we're just.."

Just wasting it, Guin thought somewhat bitterly.

She'd sent a message to her father, explaining the situation and asking him to show up in force with the Avengers if they couldn't deescalate things. She had no idea how much time had passed since she and Annie had entered Mary's head. They could have minutes still - or seconds - or maybe it was already too late.

She had a sword.

Guin wanted something clear and concrete to slay.

Ben frowned, deeply concerned when his husband wasn't able to open them a portal to New Orleans - the city where everyone he cared about in the world was currently located. His son was there, James and Casper - and as much as he hated him, his father was there still too, no doubt spitting abuse at the dust bunnies after all of his adopted children abandoned him. That had been the one good thing about Ben's death at the age of 17 - it had gotten him away from his father. "Max, if you can't get in - can they get out?" he asked, trying to keep the fear from rising in his throat. He knew James and Casper would protect the kids with their lives - but he didn't want it to come to that. He wanted better for the boys, for Danni and Dorian, than he had had.

More concerning though was what else was mentioned - that the Phoenix couldn't have been the one responsible, as magic was its weakness. (Something Ben wished he'd known earlier - if he had, he would have pushed for them visiting Strange instead of this alien world). It must have been someone or something skilled in magic then - something more powerful than Max, of which Ben didn't think there were more than a handful of mages that met that criteria.

"Wait... The last time this happened, Jean Grey was being manipulated by the Hellfire Club," Avery recalled. They'd attended Xavier's School as a student - and it was hard not to know the story, surrounded by other mutant kids eager to gossip about the school's most famous alumni. "...Maybe that's happening here, too," they concluded. "This person, they could be manipulating the Phoenix." They bit their lip, unhappy with the thought process, but unable to shake themself of the conclusion. It wasn't just Mary that they needed to handle - it was someone else.

They looked to Carolina for a moment, wondering if she ought to ask her sister for more than a quinjet. The situation just seemed to be continuously spiraling out of control, getting worse and worse by the moment. If someone powerful enough to stop Max, the greatest wizard that ever lived, probably the Once and Future Sorcerer Supreme... What chance did they stand? Maybe instead of going off to face the Phoenix, they ought to go beg the Scarlet Witch to construct a new bubble reality for them all to hide in and wait out the destruction.

"Aye, I will call for Heimdall now," Runa said with a nod. She didn't have much of an idea herself as to who might be responsible for this - there were sorcerers and wizards across the galaxy, all with their own motives and opportunities. "Thank you again, Empress," she bowed her head. "Asgard owes you a great debt - as does all living life." And then Runa turned, stretching her hand outwards. "Heimdall, if you please - to Midgard's village of New Orleans!"

And then in a burst of rainbow light, the BiFrost engulfed the small party, and within seconds, they were outside New Orleans - quite literally just outside the city limits.
