The Geneva Convention.: 10:10 A.M.


Inside the Presidential Suite...

Anelle's eyes watered, not because of the discussion turning towards who would speak for Earth, but because of who was at the door. It had been so long since she had seen her beloved - or their child. "Mar-Vell?" she squeaked out, as tears started to rush down her face. The princess moved quickly, embracing the scientist tightly. Mar-Vell dropped the cat carrier she had been holding and the flerkens inside meowed in protest, but Mar-Vell was too stunned.

"Annie? Is it really you?" Mar-Vell murmured, crying as well as she hugged her betrothed, her soulmate, the mother of their child - their son, Dorrek-Vell.

"It is," Anelle mumbled, before standing up on her tip-toes and kissing Mar-Vell deeply.

"Awww," Tony commented, looking a little misty-eyed himself.

"Someone's gone soft," Black Widow commented, looking over at Tony with a smirk.

"Don't be bitter, Romanoff. I'm sure there's a three eyed assassin out there just dying to meet you," he teased.

"Ugh, get a room you two," Hill complained. "The Avengers, not you two ladies - you look very sweet together. And as much as I'm sure there are plenty of joyous reunions to be had, the sooner we handle this situation the better."

Mar-Vell nodded, pulling away from Anelle, but still standing right by her side. "Right, of course. The mission. The flerkens are ready to go."

"Mars could be a good choice for an off planet location. Don't think the inhumans would really want to see any kree on the moon, there's bad history there," Captain Marvel explained, smiling slightly at the reunion between Mar-Vell and Anelle. They were really cute together. It brought her hope too, hope that their peoples could get along and the war could really end. Maybe they could even unite and form a Kree-Skrull Empire, led by Mar-Vell and Anelle.

"Isn't Captain America a fugitive right now?" Amelia asked. "Otherwise, would totes agree. Huge fan of his." She wasn't all too certain on how politics played out and how long it would take for Jakobsen and all to clear Captain America's name. It might not even be enough for them to formally pardon him, if public opinion was still bad. But then again, did how someone was perceived on Earth really matter when it came to space politics?

Carol did laugh as Kwassi suggested Fury. "I think Fury'd just shout motherfucker at everyone until they stopped fighting."

"I don't want to be rude about this, but it isn't really up to us to decide who the negotiator is. That's between the kree and the skrull, who they're willing to listen to. And it's also something that we can figure out later. Right now, it's time to act," Bonnie stressed. She could see people getting sidetracked, worrying about details that weren't really theirs to fret over. They were agents of SHIELD and the mission was to save the Earth - they could figure out intergalactic peace treaties later.

"I don't mind being rude here - this all sounds like politician crap that I'm not majorly interested in. Let Jakobsen and his buddies and the Princess and all figure it out."
Then...



Cats, cats everywhere! With stealth unknown to humankind, the flerkens moved throughout the Geneva Convention. No one paid too much mind to the cats, too busy talking to other political figures and making plans to make themselves richer and other people poorer (because capitalism, baby!). No one noticed the occasional politician vanish, followed by a cat licking their lips and meowing innocently. No one saw Goose directing the other cats, pointing with his tail where they needed to go next to check for skrulls.

And no one noticed the small parade of flerkens headed for the United States' Presidential Suite, all of them looking MUCH chubbier than when the day had started....


And Now...


However, the Secret Warriors, Avengers, and others in the Presidential suite would definitely notice as Goose started hacking, only to then cough up the Skrull Empress - Empress Veranke. "-going to KILL YOU!" Veranke screamed as she was coughed up, splayed out on the floor.

"Mother, don't shout," Anelle said sternly. "It's unbecoming of someone of your station."

"What - Anelle?!" Veranke exclaimed. "Is this your attempt at a coup, you stupid girl?" she said with a laugh. She then began to grow in size, until she resembled a Hulk. Veranke then looked over her shoulders. "For those wondering what's going on, check the wiki. In this universe, I have all of She-Hulk's powers. And we all know what Hulks do best... They smash!"

Veranke then rushed forward and snatched Anelle. She wrapped her hand around Anelle's neck and the princess started gasping, struggling to breathe. "Now, you are all going to stand down, or the bitch dies."


Runa Baldurdattir

Location: Asgard Docks -> Towards Breiðablik
Skills: N/A

Runa hesitated, before nodding. Edus had a good plan. She didn't need to feel sad that Klara had been the one picked to go look, even though magic was more of a hobby to Klara. Runa should have been used to this by now - Klara was the daughter of Thor, the next All-Father. Thor was beloved on Midgard as one of the Avengers, while scarce few had even heard of Baldur. The only time Runa had heard someone mention Baldur was when speaking of a cat, rather than the deity. She wasn't jealous by any means - no, not at all. She just felt a bit of pain in her heart. There was no reason to. It made perfect sense. Why wouldn't people suggest Klara? Everyone loved her.

She felt a strange sense of shame too, as Klara pointed in the direction of her home, and then referenced where Breiðablik, Baldur's hall was. Not many people made the trip to Breiðablik, as it required purification in order to enter - and for mortals, a hefty amount of sunscreen. Her father was the god of light - everything there was gleaming. And the place was overrun with her mother's flowers. Runa's heart broke again slightly. She knew the prophecy that Ragnarok would come one day and claim her father's life, and that her mother would follow him shortly after. This entire situation was giving her so many emotions - jealousy, shame, fear, sorrow.

"... It's in the hands of the Norns," Runa mumbled. "Come. We're headed to my father's hall."

Guin Stark

Location: Asgard Docks -> Towards Breiðablik
Skills: Telepathy

Guin wasn't a huge fan of Pietro dashing off without her, and she shot Edus a bit of a look. She had already spent a lot of time trying to get un-separated from him during the prison incident, and they knew where that light had come from, apparently it was near Runa's place. They didn't need to split the party for this. "I'll conference call in, see what's going on, now let's move it, people. Universe isn't going to save itself," she said, following Runa.

As she walked, Guin used her telepathy to see through Pietro's eyes - making it a minor miracle she didn't trip or fall over anything. It was also a blessing that she didn't get motion sickness instantly. Everything she saw through Pietro's eyes was incredibly blurry - how was he able to not trip when he ran? There were some buildings, but it was all somewhat blurry and just hard to make out. There was some light coming from one of the buildings too, one in the direction Pietro was going. If you get hurt, I'm going to have too much material to talk about in therapy, Guin warned him.

Hey I don't try to get hurt!

Just be careful okay? I've got major bad vibes.

I always try to be careful, you know that.

Says the man who attacked the director of SHIELD

He deserved it.

"He's near some building with a huge light coming out of it," Guin said, letting the others know what was going on.


Megan Pendragon

Location: Atlantica
Skills: N/A

Megan raised an eyebrow at her brother's comment. She knew that Disney tended to romanticize things, but people didn't become kings by being nice to people. Yes, Maleficent seemed horrible and wicked, but she didn't doubt that her biological father was a killer. However, the time to point that out to Jack had came and went, especially since they had the larger problem to deal with - finding a way to get to this underwater kingdom. Jack was willing to state the thoughts that had been going through Megan's head. "So... Outsiders like us," Megan pointed out. She was beginning to wonder what the point of having Hansel and Gretel there was, given how they seemed to basically know no more than the rest of them.

She was a bit curious when they made it to what looked like a fishing village, mostly wondering whether or not the fishermen would attempt to kill them for being outsiders and then use their corpses as bait. It's what she would've done - although she had no idea how effective human remains were compared to, say, worms. She didn't know anything about fishing. As they got closer to the village, she saw that most people there were pretty dirty, aside from two who stood out like a sore thumb and started whispering. "Either there's a tide pod cult or they might be our way to the kingdom," Megan murmured. "Do you think they have underwater coffins? Or do they just... float the corpses to the surface?" she then asked her brother.


🌈 Leda Storm 🌈

Location: Camp Half-blood: Camp Store
Skills: N/A

"What, are you going all Artemis?" Leda shot back at her sister. She wasn't mad or anything - it was all in good fun. Sure, they only had the same godly parent and not everyone viewed their siblings as siblings, but Leda saw her siblings as siblings - such a strange, unusual thought. And as such, she enjoyed having some sibling bickering and rivalry, especially with Tammy (who was secretly Leda's favorite sister, although she'd only admit it under duress). Leda moved over to the part of the store Tammy had motioned them over towards, where there were tons of supplies for all sorts of things. "Wait, you've gotta be joshing, you actually sell chocolate covered strawberries?" Leda asked, before breaking out giggling.

Leda then tried to get her mind to focus on the task at hand. "Well, odds are whatever we get might end up being destroyed pretty quickly, and you don't wanna load up too much or you'll be fucking exhausted from walking before long," Leda explained. "You got a decent backpack? If not, I'd nab one of those. Some ambrosia and nectar can't hurt. Flashlights are great too - and those tiny bags with ponchos in them. Sleeping bags aren't worth it if you ask me, they're bulky and monsters somehow always know to claw at them and rip them up."

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

Location: Camp Half-blood: Roman Side of Camp
Skills: N/A

Nancy nodded slightly, appreciating that Mads was trying to comfort her. Nancy didn't like expressing her emotions. She was like the sun - she ran hot, her most commonly expressed feeling being anger. It had been a little bit since her more playful, joyful side had come out. Everything was anger and stress and guilt these days. She gave Joanie a slight pet on the nose, before heading to the praetor tent with Mads and Niah. They were right - they needed to see if they could get more information out of Leandra, even though all Nancy wanted to do was scream and pummel Leandra to a pulp. She didn't care that Leandra was possessed - she more than deserved it.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear your explanation for one second," Nancy said. Her blood had started boiling, hearing "Leandra" call Madalyne a flea bag. And once again, Nancy's anger and hatred for Leandra ran deep. She walked up to Leandra, fire in her eyes as Nancy punched Leandra in the nose - blood started gushing from the daughter of Cupid's nostrils. "Oh darn, my bad, I just realized you said she was possessed by a... a what again, exactly?"





Genosha: July 31st, 2021 - 4:00 AM


Veil


Location: Magda Eisenhardt Memorial Housing - Mutant Underground Apartment
Skills:

"This is Reeva Payge, broadcasting telepathically to you all by means of the Three in One. We are under attack. Mutants with healing abilities, please report to Hellfire Manor. Mutants with combat abilities, confirm your readiness with the Three in One and your assignment will be given to you. All others, seek shelter at the House of M, Hellfire Manor, or the Akademos. I repeat. This is Reeva Payge..."

Veil bolted upright in her bed. Everyone on Genosha would hear the same message buzzing in their ears, sounding off again and again in a sickening loop. They had been there for a few weeks now without any huge issues - beyond Havok running off, Jack turning out to be a clone (a fact that Veil was keeping private), Sunshine marrying her fiancée in a secret ceremony, and Casper's other brother turning up. Okay, there were a lot of issues, but none of the issues involved anyone shooting at them - so that was a plus. Veil glanced over at her roommate, Spark Plug. She half expected to see Sapphire lying there.

"Erm... Confirming," Veil said. She wasn't used to not being the one calling the shots. It had been strange to say the least for the last few weeks, not having everyone's survival depending on her. Images flashed through her mind then, telepathically implanted by the Three in One. Veil was, it turned out, exactly where she was needed. Asteroids were on a collision course with the housing complex, where a good number of Genoshans resided.

Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know how good her powers were against asteroids - or even what was causing them - but she had to try. "I'm going to the roof," she told Spark Plug, before making a mad dash out of their room, out the apartment, and towards the staircase.



Casper


Location: Magda Eisenhardt Memorial Housing - Mutant Underground Apartment
Skills: Mediumship

"This is Reeva Payge, broadcasting telepathically to you all by means of the Three in One. We are under attack. Mutants with healing abilities, please report to Hellfire Manor. Mutants with combat abilities, confirm your readiness with the Three in One and your assignment will be given to you. All others, seek shelter at the House of M, Hellfire Manor, or the Akademos. I repeat. This is Reeva Payge..."

Casper groaned, rolling over and throwing a pillow over his head, trying to drown out the telepathic alarm. "Damn it, Reeva, I'm trying to sleep!" Casper whined. His father used to do telepathic wakeup calls and Casper had never liked them. He wished there was some sort of telepathic mute button, but instead Reeva's alarm just kept playing over and over again like a siren. It wasn't deafening or anything, but it was enough to keep Casper from going back to sleep. "I'm not a spandex wearing fighting mutant anyways," Casper complained.

Ben looked at him, crossing his arms. "People are in danger. They need you, Casper," he advised.

"Nuh uh, they need you," Casper mumbled.

"Yeah, they do. And the only way they get me is if you get off of your lazy ass!" Ben snapped. He then glanced at James. "He'd want you to do it too. In fact, he probably does want you to do it."

"Too bad ghosts can't hear telepaths. And telepaths can't hear ghosts," Casper said, before throwing his pillow at Ben. The pillow sailed harmlessly through him.

"Real mature, Casper."



Sunshine


Location: Hellfire Bay
Skills:

Meanwhile, Sunshine was on the opposite end of the island. She and Marrow had gotten married just a few days before and had insisted on taking a 'honeymoon' without leaving the island nation, so instead they just migrated down south. Hellfire Bay was breathtaking. It was where the Marauders (now mostly reformed and with almost all new members) would set sail to bring back more mutants in need of refuge and a place to call home. It was also where Reeva kept her private jet, but the Marauder was much, much cooler.

Sunshine suddenly found herself being shook awake, followed by an annoying telepathic message repeating in her head - if not somewhat muffled.

"This is Reeva Payge, broadcasting telepathically to you all by means of the Three in One. We are under attack. Mutants with healing abilities, please report to Hellfire Manor. Mutants with combat abilities, confirm your readiness with the Three in One and your assignment will be given to you. All others, seek shelter at the House of M, Hellfire Manor, or the Akademos. I repeat. This is Reeva Payge..."

"...Where are we supposed to shelter then?" Sunshine said with a bit of a laugh, even as her eyebrows narrowed. Her home was under attack. It had taken her so long to find a place where she could exist - a place where she could fall in love and now have the most beautiful and perfect wife. Sure, her heart would always ache for Magik, but Magik had died. Marrow was here and there wasn't anyone else Sunshine would rather be with.

Marrow shorted. "Really? You're going to take shelter when we have a chance to skewer some flatscans?"

"How d'you know it's flatscans?" Sunshine asked, getting up off of the ground and then offering a hand to Marrow. They had fallen asleep on a blanket underneath the stars. It had been incredibly romantic. And what better way to add to the romance than an all out fight?

"It's always flatscans," Marrow said. "Marrow and Sunny are ready," she then said, knowing the Three in One were listening.

Images then flashed through Marrow and Sunshine's heads.

"Guess we're pirates today," Sunshine said, holding her wife's hand as they rushed off towards the Marauder. All at once, a tremendous earthquake would ripple through the island, knocking almost everyone to the ground and causing any temporary structure to collapse.

House of M...

Zarina, Andy, Miranda, and everyone else present (Magneto and Polaris) would be awakened by that same telepathic message. The House of M was one of the designated shelter points in case of disaster, largely as it was built entirely out of metal, meaning that Magneto could protect anyone inside with ease.

Of course, that didn't stop the ground from shaking as if a giant were bouncing up and down - or the thick, poisonous looking fog that began to fill up all the rooms.





Runa Johansson

Location: Hotel Valhalla - Feast Hall of the Slain -> Outside Helgi's Office
Skills: N/A

Runa tilted her head for a moment, running the word Nadia had said through her mind over and over again. It was really hard at times to understand the others. They had so many niche words that Runa had never heard before in English, meaning she had no idea how to translate them in her head to Norwegian. What was charmspeaking? From the way it sounded, it sounded like some sort of way of talking magic, but English was weird so Runa wasn't all too certain. But she certainly hadn't done any sort of magic as well - Runa was just Runa, just ordinary. She didn't have any special powers.

When Arnora explained what it was, Runa's eyes widened. Mind control? Forcing people to do what she wanted? "I-I.... I can't do that," she stammered. She didn't have that sort of power. If she had been able to just mind control people, then their lives would have been much easier when they went off to save Balder from Hel. She was still stunned as she went into the office and spotted the symbol carved into the desk - although Runa had no idea what it was. She bit her lip as Dalisay explained something about invisible footprints - and then the commentary about Loki. Before she could really contribute though, when an arrow came out of nowhere, and the next thing Runa knew she was sprawled on the ground.




The Geneva Convention.: 8:30 A.M.


Inside the Presidential Suite...

Anelle grimaced at the idea of letting the flerkens out on her people to consume them, even temporarily. She knew that the skrulls at the convention were following the Empress, and she truly believed that they were just misguided and could be reasoned with. Perhaps it was her inexperience or naiveness, but she really wanted to try to give them all a second chance before sentencing them to certain death. Consumption by flerken was considered cruel and unusual punishment in several regions of the galaxy. At least this wouldn't be real death - just a temporary consumption. "I.... suppose," she said to Evelyn's idea.

"... That might work," Captain Marvel said, considering. "I'd trust Goose to cough people back up, so as long as he could keep the other flerkens in line... Although I've also never seen a living person come back from a flerken's stomach - I don't know if whatever acid is in there won't just kill them anyways."

"Yeah, I know," Tony told Oliver. "Hope you sleep with one eye open, kid. I hold grudges." He didn't know too much about space politics, but Tony was able to more or less pick up the ideas being tossed around. "How about we tell both the kree and the skrull to go have their pissing contest on another planet? I'm sure you're great, Princess Zelda, but Earth is closed right now."

Bonnie nodded at Oliver's question. "That's what Mar-Vell explained to us," she agreed. "If we ally with the skrulls, we'll be placed into the Kree-Skrull war. If we look too competent in defeating the skrulls, the kree will attack us. And if we ask the kree for help, we'll be forced into their empire." There was no winning if they picked either side. She was skeptical of Princess Anelle's intentions, largely because Bonnie believed that royalty was inherently corrupt, no matter the galaxy. She nodded slightly at Kwassi, not saying much else to him. She was chewing on her lip, trying to find the best solution - if there was even a better solution than the one they had already produced.

"Thought the idea was that it just looks like a wild flerken pack," Raynor said to Kwassi, shrugging his shoulders. Flerken were kind of like cockroaches. They were hard to get rid of and tended to multiply. It wouldn't be too entirely shocking for some flerken to get the Empress, especially if Princess Anelle took power soon after. If anything, the kree would probably be more suspicious of an internal coup than Midgard taking a formal stance in the war.

"I agree with Surtursen," Raynor then said, referring to Flynn. "It is a shit plan." The only issue was he couldn't really think of a better one. They were in a hard spot. And after his own home planet had been destroyed in Ragnarok, Raynor didn't want to have to go to Asgard for help. He didn't want to send this universe's version of his father off to war against the Kree and the Skrulls. He didn't want Sparky and their child anywhere near the horrors of war.

"Oooh, that's a posh idea! We could have the Earth Peace Accords or something!" Amelia gushed. She had joined SHIELD out of her own daredevil pilot tendencies, but she also strongly believed in helping people. Ending wars rather than starting them was exactly what she had signed up for. And how cool would it be to have more alien worlds available for them to explore? She had to imagine that the Kree-Skrull war was causing a bit of a traffic jam up in space.

"Is that something you would consider, Princess?" Hill asked.

Anelle nodded. "My lover is kree. This war... It's senseless. The kree cannot be moved by emotional pleas, only those in solid logic. We would have to find a way to convince their Supreme Intelligence that peace is the logical way forward... but it is possible."

"Then let's do that. Let's overthrow the Empress and bring peace to the galaxy," Bonnie said.

"Ugh, it's like we're in a bloody Star Wars flick - I love this! Raynor, y'know, you kinda look like one of the blokes from the new films. Not the one who was a Jedi, the other one, the pilot. You should check them out, it's super uncanny."

"... I get that a lot," Raynor admitted.

There was then a knock at the door. "Erm, cat delivery?" Mar-Vell's voice called out.


Runa Baldurdattir

Location: Asgard Docks
Skills: Lie Detection

Runa nodded as Bethany put a hand on her shoulder and told her to ignore the glares of the guards. She noticed Edus walk a little closer to her and Lance glaring at the guards in turn. Her eyes watered and she smiled ever so slightly. Her family had even become accustomed to the way people on Asgard treated her, not even Klara had said or done anything about the guards. Runa hadn't even realized how much that had hurt until her new friends huddled around her in support and it meant the world to her, even though the joy was tinged with pain and sorrow. "Thank you," Runa told her friends, appreciating their support.

She tilted her head slightly as Klara lied as to Loki's whereabouts. Her eyes widened ever so slightly in alarm. She hadn't realized Loki had either been freed or escaped from prison. She bit her lip a bit, figuring that Klara had lied to try to keep the others calm. Klara didn't usually lie unless there was a good reason, and Runa knew she was telling the truth about Loki being cleared from suspicion, so everything ought to have been fine.

The ground then shook and Runa's glance went skyward. A streak of light, a beam really, shot up into the sky and vanished. "I agree, that wasn't the Bifrost... Perhaps some wayward spell... or hammer."

Guin Stark

Location: Asgard Docks
Skills: Telepathy

Guin noticed the way people huddled around Runa, and that more or less instantly drew her attention to the direction of the looks - some guards. Guin scrunched up her nose, seeing the way that they were glaring at Runa. "Eww, fucking assholes," she complained. She wasn't super close with Runa or anything, but Guin hated bullies. They reminded her too much of the people she had gone to boarding school with - judgmental pricks who were really just super jealous that they didn't have an avenger for a father. She was far happier to hear that Loki was locked up and wouldn't be a problem. She didn't want to play the next haunted board game after Jumanji - Zathura (even though in her opinion Zathura was the superior game).

"Not to volunteer Pietro for extra work, but he's a speedster. He could search the entire place faster than we could splitting up," Guin pointed out. She did really appreciate Pietro's speed searches whenever she lost one of her AirPods - it was a lifesaver. And yay, souvenir! Maybe they have a -My daughter went to Asgard and all I got was this stupid t-shirt- sort of thing for my dad.

Wow Guina, I seriously doubt that.

Guin was about to reply, when suddenly the ground shook and Guin grabbed onto Pietro's arm. She had been through a lot already with being thrown into a jail cell and separated from him, she wasn't about to let an Asgardian sinkhole or earthquake or whatever do that. Plus, she didn't trust her ability to run in a dress. "Aww, I missed the sky beam? Lame," Guin complained. "But guess that's where we should go. Where there's a sky beam, there's almost always an evil villain with a plan to destroy the world - or worlds, I guess."


🌈 Leda Storm 🌈

Location: Camp Half-blood: Armory -> Camp Store
Skills: N/A

Leda nodded, a little surprised that no one else had really come through the armory yet, although she supposed the others could've been slacking. That was very on brand for Greek demigods. The Romans also probably had their own gross secret stash - that or maybe they were expected to already have all the gear they'd need on them at all times. She could see something real extra like that being a possibility. "Shopping spree it is, luv," Leda agreed, giving Kiera a kiss on the cheek before heading to the camp store with her.

At the store, Leda rolled her eyes slightly at Tammy. "C'mon, Tam, you're better than sloppy seconds," she teased. Not that she had any plans of breaking up with Kiera, but still. Tammy could do better than dating someone Leda was currently dating. "We're stocking up for a quest, super romantic, very deadly. Do you have anything that's right for the vibe? Like maybe some chocolate covered strawberries?" Leda joked, although she was partially serious. They did need to stock up on supplies.

☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

Location: Camp Half-blood: Roman Side of Camp
Skills: N/A

Nancy's stomach dropped as Niah said they had to approve the quest. She didn't want to think about her vision. She hated her gift of prophecy. It was one thing to hear there was a prophecy about her friend's death - it was another to witness it, to experience it, to feel it in her bones. Nancy had never loved anyone in the traditional romantic ways - the only love she had ever felt was platonic. And the people she loved most in the world were her best friends, Mads and Niah. She had already failed Camp Jupiter as New Rome fell - and now she was going to fail Mads too. She looked at Niah, wondering how long it would be until she would mourn her as well, how many of her friends she would have to watch die around her. Nancy blinked back tears, but she couldn't stop one from falling down her cheek.

She was about to say something to Niah when Mads showed on up and Nancy struggled to regain her composure. She didn't mind that Joanie was eating her hair. "Leandra tried to steal the gem. And something possessed her," she explained quickly to Mads. "The grody ass mega bitch might actually be a victim this time, as much as I'd love to kick her ass out of the Legion." She paused again, shifting on her feet. "We need to go chat with the Senate - and get Joanie a snack, poor baby's starving and I might not have enough hair to keep her satisfied."


Megan Pendragon

Location: Merlin's Tower -> Atlantica
Skills: N/A

Megan stared at her brother, a little surprised at his optimism. She honestly would've expected him to be a bit more morose in this situation, given that he had just been kidnapped by his father - but perhaps Jack shared her opinion that their birth parents weren't really their parents. They were just donors of genetic material - it was a clinical way to look at things, but it was the way Megan saw things. She caught a glance in her direction - no, a smile - from Rose and Megan felt some heat rise into her cheeks. "I'd rather sleep in a graveyard," Megan muttered to her brother.

Megan took the necklace, and while skeptical, stepped through the portal Sierra and Taylor had gone through. She wrinkled her nose. She hated the beach. It was too warm and the sand got everywhere and the sea water was so salty it made her want to gag. The only thing she liked about beaches were the fact that sometimes, if you were lucky enough, severed feet would show up in sneakers. Hansel didn't inspire confidence in her when he admitted he didn't know how they got to an underwater kingdom - Megan also noticed a lack of deep sea diving equipment. "This is a complete disaster," she complained to her brother.
