Veil
Location: Morlock Tunnels
Skills: Invisible Energy Manipulation
Veil hit her head against the wall of the sewer, her skull cracking and blood soaking through her hair. She blinked her eyes, groggy but aware. This was all going horribly wrong. It was like they had angered some fundamental force of nature. She should've never accepted this job. Everyone was going to die or worse, be captured, and she'd be the only one to blame. She had been the one to make the choice to take the cures from Quicksilver. She lifted her hand, trying to create a shield to protect the others, but she couldn't do it. Her shields kept flickering in and out of existence.
"Damn it, Veil!" Havok cried out. He gently set Sapphire down on the ground. Bullets were flying through the air, miraculously not hitting them. Havok didn't have time to think on a strategy. He didn't have time to consider the repercussions. He let loose one of his hula-hoops of death, the golden ring of energy slicing through the air, curving upwards and colliding with the ceiling above the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
It happened almost in slow motion. The ceiling of the sewer collapsed, crushing the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in rubble. Some cars from the street up above fell through the cracks, their anti-theft alarms blaring. The ceiling up above the Mutant Underground group was shaking, cracks beginning to form, but still in tact somehow.
And then, it collapsed all at once, burying everyone alive.
At the last second, Veil managed to throw up a force field, forming a bubble around the group. The rocks hit her force field and slid to the side, and that was the last glimpse they'd have of Veil, as they were separated from her.
"VEIL?!" Havok shouted, his voice echoing around him. They were trapped.
Sunshine
Location: Mutant Underground: Entranceway
Skills: People Reading
She paused in her tracks though, as Waverley explained what the bomb was. It wasn't explosives. It was... disease? Her heart started pounding, realizing that what everyone was so afraid was... her. It was a bomb that could do everything she could. Were they all afraid of her? Mutants weren't supposed to be afraid of each other. They were supposed to be accepted. Did they know she wouldn't hurt them... well, not much anyways? "I don't even know how I'd do that," Sunshine admitted. "Like, I only control diseases that I cause, well except for--" but then she cut herself off. She didn't want to talk about what happened with Max.
Sunshine then abruptly went and walked over to Zari. She stared at the girl for a moment, seeing the look on her face that some of the kids in juvi had had. She was lonely and sad. Sunshine didn't want to play babysitter or therapist for her. She didn't like talking about feelings. "There's a bomb. People are going to get really sick. Can you help me find it?" Sunshine asked Zari bluntly. "...Are you sad or something?"
Casper Theriot
Location: Mutant Underground: James and Casper's room
Skills: Mediumship
He was about to drift off to sleep, only to hear a loud knock at the door. Casper sighed. His brother was such a prude sometimes! They weren't even having sex! They were taking a nap! Casper pulled himself away from James, sitting up in the bed so that way James wouldn't have his ears explode. "Come on, we're just taking a nap, I don't even have the condoms on standby, Jackie!" Casper shouted. "You know, a wise woman once said... My evening is in danger. And that's what's happening here, so I'm rescuing my evening!" Casper then added, referencing Honey from the Incredibles.
"Are you Honey, then?" Ben asked.
"Of course I'm Honey. I'm always Honey!"
