Runa Baldurdattir & Guin Stark

Location: New York City Defenders HQ
Skills: Asgardian Magic, Darkness Manipulation, Darkness Constructs and Telepathy, Telepathic Attacks

Guin bit down on the inside of her cheek in order to bear the pain, as Pietro sped her out of the way of Frenzy's boulders - having a few broken ribs was the worst. "It would be nice if THE FUCKING DEFENDERS, I DON'T KNOW, DEFENDED!" Guin shouted. She was a little bit pissed off. Best she could tell, Thor and Doctor Strange were doing basically nothing to help out here. She expected better from them, as they were formidable heroes in their world - but here, they seemed to just be trash. She felt a bit better when Klara came over, using her water powers to heal Guin à la Katara - well, more of soothe and comfort her. It helped to take the edge off.

And that allowed Guin to focus on one of the big threats they had to deal with at the moment - namely, the Australian asshole who was setting everything on fire. "Klara, I need you to put out the fire, okay?" Guin instructed, a little annoyed the water goddess hadn't just drowned Pyro already. Guin closed her eyes and reached out with her telepathy, grabbing onto Pyro's mind. At first, she was only making him drowsy - just more and more sleepy - but she then managed to accomplish her task, knocking him unconscious. The fire remained however - hence Klara was needed.

Meanwhile, Runa was PISSED at Phantazia. "Cease your magics!" Runa demanded. Her eyes flashed black for a moment, before Runa used her ability over darkness to send darkness, made thick and real, into Phantazia's head. She forced the darkness on through via the nose and the ears, adding more and more, causing the pressure inside of Phantazia's head to build and build. As Phantazia's suffering increased, Runa's violent pain began to lessen. But she was still enraged, still furious, still feeling echoes of that pain. So Runa persisted, having the end goal of making Phantazia's head explode from the pressure build up.

She didn't manage to get that far, however. Phantazia's pain was immense and she dropped to the ground, on her knees. Runa was vaguely aware that someone needed to deal with the fire and with Frenzy, but she didn't care. She just wanted revenge for this slight. She walked up to Phantazia, staring at her with anger and hatred. "You should know better than to face a sorceress of Asgard, girl," Runa scolded. A lie then fell from her lips - one she only needed someone to deny in order to make real. "You were never born," she said.

Veil & Casper & Sunshine


Location: Various
Skills: Mediumship

The Green Lagoon / the Astral Plane...

David nodded, smiling at Harry. "Got it - well, whenever you want to tell her, I'd be happy to be that third person - unless, you wanted to have one of the clones be your third person," David teased. "We can stay here as long as you like. I wish I could say time moved differently, but I'm really bad at remembering things I've read, so I haven't really been able to compare the times... Also I have a terrible attention span," David laughed a bit, before ruffling up Harry's hair. He was so giddy. He'd never been this close to someone before - he had never imagined that someone like Harry would even be remotely interested in someone like him.

The Green Lagoon...

"What do you want?" Marrow asked instantly. She smirked ever so slightly and Sunshine rolled her eyes, shoving her wife playfully. "Be nice," Sunshine insisted. There was no denying that Sunshine was incredibly happy whenever Marrow was around. She had spent her life searching for a place to belong and for someone to belong to, and she finally had it, here on Genosha. She felt safe and loved. The only tragedy was that not everyone she loved was there to experience it - that brought a certain hollowness to Sunshine's smile, a terrible grief in her eyes, the weariness of her young soul.

"What do you want, though?" Sunshine then asked a bit bluntly. She didn't mean it in any sort of aggressive or anti-social way however. She just tended to be a bit blunt at times, for better or for worse. Here, she was pretty certain that Callie had come over to ask them something, especially as Sunshine could see Veil heading on over to where Echo and Legion were standing. "Did something happen? Does someone need their ass kicked?" Sunshine then asked, her eyes narrowing a bit.

Meanwhile, Blob had been pulled away due to the lunchtime rush - but had mentioned that he was, in fact, at least roughly familiar with graverobbing. Apparently Magneto had made him do it once before, back when he worked with the Brotherhood. There was a certain sadness in Blob's eyes as he talked about that time in his life - perhaps as he dwelled on the person he had once been, back when he hadn't had another choice, another option - back when society had pushed him onto that path of violence.

Veil had walked on over to Legion and Echo, raising an eyebrow at the two. "Hello? Harry? David?" Veil called out. She tilted her head as there was no response. Veil waved her hand in front of their faces - nothing. They were still breathing, so she was fairly sure that they weren't dead. She wasn't panicking - not yet, at least. This was probably some sort of weird psychic thing that was going on. If her brother was in trouble or getting hurt though...

No, Veil decided that couldn't have been the case. She took Harry's pulse. He was calm, relaxed. And breathing normally. "Are you two mind fucking? In the middle of the Green Lagoon?" Veil then asked, huffing slightly. "I don't know why I asked that. It's clear you can't hear me. And now I look like I'm insane... Great..."

Then suddenly, Legion began to move. "Oi, luv, get your bloody hand out of me face," Legion said in a thick Cockney accent, his posture changing entirely, his hands going onto his hips.

"What have you done with my brother?" Veil then asked pointedly. "Undo it, whatever it is, or I'll go get a telepath who can."

"I'm not the one doin' it, so I can't - sorry, luv," Legion said with a shrug. "Davie's the one in charge of the telepathy."

Outside the Hospital...

The receptionist looked almost sorry for James and Casper. "He's, uh... He's having a moment... But... He's in there," the receptionist then said, getting up and heading over to a door. She knocked on the door and opened it. "Doc Nemesis? You've got some people here to see you about--"

Nemesis then darted out of the room, wriggling vines attached to his head where his hair should have been. The top of his head was somehow see-through as well - to Casper, it looked like glass. Casper's eyes widened and his jaw dropped, as he realized they could see Nemesis' brain through the glass dome, and that the wriggling plants seemed to penetrate the dome, burrowing into the fleshy pink orb. "Uhh... Is that... I don't want to be rude and be like, why do you have a snake-weed-brain thing but.... why do you have a snake-weed-brain thing?" Casper asked, absolutely gobsmacked.

Casper then put his hand over baby Daniel's eyes. He was pretty sure the baby didn't need to see whatever was going on with Nemesis' head. Casper debated covering his own eyes as well, but decided against it. He'd seen a lot of weird shit in his life - at least half of it, he had to admit, likely something he had hallucinated but still, he'd seen some things.

"Science, my dear boy!" Nemesis exclaimed. "Now, what the devil do you two want? Does your baby need an X-gene grafted onto it?" he then asked. "I have a viable sample of gamma level telepath if you're interested - just strong enough to catch the vibes of what someone's thinking, excellent for learning social cues, but not enough that they can really get under the hood and tinker around with the brain."

"Uhh.... We're here for, like, uh... medical files?"

And as if on cue, poor baby Daniel started to cry! :(

The Rebuilt House of M...

Magneto nodded at Andy's question. "You may practice anywhere here in the House of M - if you wish to practice elsewhere, there are designated areas at the Akademos for young mutants learning about how to better utilize their powers... even those that are considered dangerous," Magneto explained. "I would recommend investing in a rubber suit - and perhaps avoiding sparring with Rain Boy for now," he then said, the smallest twinkle of a smile on his lips. He was amused with his own little blunt joke.

He then fell silent, listening to what Valkyrie had to say. Magneto had given up on religion a long time ago, so talk of Asgard and whatnot didn't bother him. "Hmm. Remarkable. It goes to show the power of mutant genes, that we can combine with the gods... Well, we are gods - the gods of the Earth. Humanity would do well to learn that." But he more or less took Zari's words at face value. After all, his daughter Wanda had a lot of nasty business with the god Chthon, it wasn't the first brush with the divine someone in his family tree had had.

Blackstone...

Oh, this little witch lair wasn't just ANY ordinary witch lair. It was Selene's lair, complete with her personal copy of the Darkhold. The book would have a draw to it almost, as if it were whispering into Jack's mind, tempting him to open it up and read. But if that wasn't interesting enough, Jack would see a photograph of him placed on the altar, along with what had been a lock of his hair. What the hell was Selene doing with that? The photograph was covered in dust, so it clearly hadn't been used in a while, but still... weird, right?

Hellfire Bay...

"I'm older noooooow! What's it mean?" Mongoose asked. She was mildly interested in learning about that word, as everything else was pretty boring so far. She didn't get why grownups insisted on talking about boring things all the time, instead of cool things, like sea witches or zombie dragon unicorn fairies. Mongoose looked around the scenery as they walked, dragging her feet ever so slightly. She was already bored out of her mind.

"Eh, been better - Flower Child's having a hard time sleeping since it all happened, so naturally, I haven't been getting much sleep at all," Renegade admitted. "She's playing with a friend right now, thank god, because I needed a break. Sooo naturally they put me to work, yay me... What about you? How's Erik?"

Wales...

Pixie's wings fluttered as she stepped lightly on through the portal. Once through, she spread her arms out and flew upwards in a spiral, greeting her homeland with an ecstatic squeal. "Ugh, I know I can go home whenever, but I still miss this place every time," she admitted, coming down to hover a bit above the ground. She wiped a few tears that had formed away. "Ooo, California rolls, my fav. How'd you know?" Pixie teased, before popping a piece into her mouth. "You're fucking talented, Max," she then said sincerely.

Pixie then paused, looking out at the landscape again. "I know I'm supposed to help you with something, but I gotta ask... Do you ever, like, feel like there's something else inside of you? Something scary?" Pixie asked, turning her pitch black eyes to look at him. "Like you're, like, cursed or something?"






@BlueSky44@Kirah@Nallore@Natsu

EARTH 257 - 8:30 AM Nov. 14th, 2021 - the Blue

Angel's Aerie

Update sections are organized roughly by combatants...

Maria vs Hercules

Maria would manage to drain Hercules' life-force, but not his powers. His strength was gradually beginning to abandon the son of Zeus, someone who really wasn't known for his intelligence - someone with the subtly of a hammer in situations that required a carefully wielded scalpel. Maria managed to kick Hercules off of her, her godlike strength sending Hercules crashing into one of the structure's support beams.

The building's structure had already become unstable from earlier - and Hercules, even with his life force sapped, was still a beefy man. And he had been thrown at the beam with the powers of a god.

The entire structure came crashing down.

Maria would find herself pinned underneath a bunch of rubble, with one broken piece of wood imbedding itself in her stomach.

Cass and Matt vs Mr. Knight/Moon Knight -

Cass had managed to distract Moon Knight, although he had blocked her blows, but it was enough for Matt to roll out of the way and retrieve one of Moon Knight's weapons, using it expertly. Unfortunately, Moon Knight seemed really good at blocking. "You're light on your feet, huh, señor?" Moon Knight asked Matt. His accent was completely different - before, it had been distinctly British, and now, it seemed much more Guatemalan. Matt and Cass would both manage to identify the accent, thanks to their years of work on special ops teams. "Let's dance," Moon Knight invited, before pressing his attack again.

He threw a crescent shaped dagger at Cass, missing her. He went to kick Matt in the knees, aiming to cripple him, but Matt would manage to dodge the attack. Moon Knight swung a dagger at Matt, but Matt would manage to block it with his own weapon. Maybe their luck was beginning to change - maybe they'd manage to defeat this weirdo.

And then the roof fell down on top of them and the house collapsed.

Moon Knight was unscathed, thanks to his weird suit. Cass ended up being buried alive, badly bruised and concussed, but nothing was broken (due to her skin, basically). Matt would come to near the top of the rubble, able to free himself readily, but bleeding from his forehead.

Rogue and Gambit vs the Scarlet Scarab

The fight was definitely getting interesting here. The Scarlet Scarab managed to knock Gambit unconscious, and she was using her feathers as shields essentially as Rogue used all of her strength to try to beat the girl into submission. Their fight was interrupted however with the house collapsing on top of them. Rogue scooped up Gambit and managed to fly up and out of the rubble, escaping with no injuries. She left the Scarlet Scarab behind, unconscious, buried alive.

Amelia vs Aero

These two were perhaps lucky. They weren't inside the Aerie when it collapsed, simply not built for a full on superhero brawl. But on the other hand, they had just fallen off of the side of the mountain, heading for a painful drop. "I can't reach you!" Amelia shouted, her hand extended as she fell, trying to grab onto her counterpart to save her. Her mind was scrambled and confused, but Amelia was still Amelia - she was still the person who would jump straight into danger to save people, even if she was convinced they were a weird doppelgänger/clone/imposter.

Aero had been caught off guard, her eyes wide. "You're fucking mad, now we're both going to die!" she shouted, but she reached her hand out to Amelia all the same. She didn't have her glider on her at the moment, the thing that allowed her to surf on air currents. Their best hope would be to find some way to slow their descent, and do their best to avoid being impaled on a tree or something.

"If you're me, then there's no bloody way we're dying like this!" Amelia shouted. "Now come on, if we combine our power, we'll not just survive - we'll have a fucking blast doing it."

Aero stared at her for a moment, before breaking out into laughter. "Fuck mate, you really are me, huh?"

And so, the Amelias managed to grab onto each other. They held hands and spread their bodies out, looking a bit like two flying squirrels almost, and began to manipulate the air currents around them - doing their best to propel themselves back up to the top of the mountain - or to any solid ground they could, really.

Everyone Else vs Luminous Basically

Luminous was unconscious (and rather crispy). Oliver's hand will be a bit burned from having punched someone who was on fire, but compared to his other injuries, it was understandable he hadn't quite noticed that one yet. "What the hell, Sparks!" Raynor shouted, his body twitching ever so slightly as an after effect of the lightning. She shocked him enough that it was a small miracle he hadn't developed some sort of heart condition - even for an Asgardian, electricity coursing through one's body was hardly ideal. He had thought she was just angry at Niah, but now it seemed she was pissed at him too? Well, actually, that was definitely understandable... The more he thought about it, the more he thought he knew why she had attacked him.

"I get it, you fucking hate me right now, but would you stop with the electricity?!" Raynor asked. "It's like being around fucking Thor sometimes, I swear..." he muttered under his breath. He didn't often miss his uncle. His uncle had been a rather gassy individual, and had an unfortunate habit of shocking everyone with lightning in his vicinity upon passing gas. From what Raynor knew, that had been a problem relatively unique to 257-Thor. But still, he hadn't felt the need to seek out the god of thunder on Earth-666 for that reason.

"Luminous pos-"

Bonnie's explanation of what had happened to Sparky was interrupted, rather rudely, by the Aerie collapsing around them. Luminous shockingly would end up on top of the rubble once the dust had settled, unscathed, aside from her pre-existing injuries. Raynor similarly would be completely fine and not at all buried. As would Niah and Sparky. Bonnie, Oliver, and Flynn were the unlucky ones.

Flynn's legs would be broken, the bone sticking out of his left leg, while the right one was a little better. Additionally, he would be buried under the rubble. Oliver would end up right next to Flynn, a piece of wood having gone straight through Oliver's chest, missing vital organs but still - not an ideal position to be in.

Bonnie had the worst luck of all. Although she wasn't buried under the rubble, an iron bar went through her head, killing her instantly.

She was dead.

Very dead.

And then her arm moved, and Bonnie pulled the iron bar out of her head, tossing it down on the ground next to her.



Megan Pendragon

Location: Atlantica
Skills: N/A

Megan could tell that King Arthur and Queen Guinevere - no, her parents - were happy that her memories had returned to her. While Megan now felt differently about them, it was still going to take her some time to integrate her life in Camelot with her life in Kansas into one cohesive sense of self. She didn't know in the moment if she felt more like a Medical Examiner or a Princess - both seemed almost right, but not quite. But at the moment, this wasn't going to be the place where she could grapple with those questions. No, they had come all of this way to Atlantica for a reason. They had found the two sets of Kings and Queens, as well as a bonus in the form of Jack's mother.

"How do you encourage the sharks to actually devour them? Shark attacks are rather uncommon," Megan asked. She had watched Shark Week a few times - one of the many perks of suffering from insomnia. And as a lover of murder, she was familiar with cold cases where people debated if sharks could've been responsible for the deaths. "Do you prick them first to cause them to bleed? Dress them in some sort of special food to make them more appetizing?" Megan inquired.


☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

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

Nancy wasn't able to focus on the Demetri side of this conversation anymore. Her chest felt tight and her hands incredibly cold. Zeke's words sounded distant to her. She could see his lips moving but she couldn't really make out what he was saying. She could hear him, but nothing was processing. He might have been reciting a recipe for how to make spaghetti or describing the intricate way he would like to salsa dance with a dragon one day, and she wouldn't have had a clue. Her ears were ringing and each breath felt incredibly difficult. Nancy wasn't even aware of what she said - it felt like some sort of foreign entity was moving her mouth, forcing words out through her lips. "I don't need you to save me," Nancy said. She didn't remember that even seconds after the words left her mouth.


In the real world, Nancy started to scream. It wasn't a scream of anger - it wasn't her screaming at Zeke, furious at him. It was a scream of terror, of pure fear. Nancy's control over sound went overboard again, dirt and sand flying up around her, the force of the waves causing Zeke to stumble backwards.

🌈 Leda Storm 🌈

Location: Camp Half-blood: Big House
Skills: N/A

"Damn, Rosie is just popping them out lately, huh?" Leda commented, whistling a bit. It was probably not a good sign that Rosie had issued another prophecy. That put them at four prophecies, four quests (she assumed the new prophecy had a quest attached to it). One prophecy was already enough to set people on edge, but with the current atmosphere up in Olympus, four was definitely a bad sign. Things might have already gotten worse. But Leda didn't want to worry Kiera about that. So she didn't share her concern that they were already too late to fix things, that the fourth prophecy was a sign that things were going to go terribly wrong.

No, she wanted to have a nice time with her girlfriend, killing monsters - and babysitting the tiny Hades spawn accompanying them.

It was very cute, seeing the two little kids hug each other. Jason's question to Kiera was almost indecipherable - his accent was incredibly thick at times. But Leda was more or less used to it, being a Brit herself and having been to Ireland on more than one occasion. Of course, she didn't know much about the prophecy, just the little tidbit that Kiera had given. She sighed slightly. They were going to have to wait for everyone before they left, weren't they? And everyone else seemed to be taking an eternity to get ready.
In What If? 3 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay


Guinevere Stark


Guin had just been minding her own business, doing her very best to save the day. She hadn't been able to claw her own eyes out, which was disappointing as she could feel her hold on the switch weakening. She didn't know how far away she could get from her own body before snapping back, like a rubberband that had been forced too far away - or would she instead get so far away from her body that she'd be trapped forever as Sabretooth, Rapist Supreme? Guin tried not to barf at the thought. It helped somewhat that the next thing she knew, she had been punched in the chest. She stumbled backwards, bewildered as she saw Cass - and the annoying British bitch - in front of her. Damn it. Guin had wanted to get Sabretooth away from people she cared about, not introduce him to others in the area.

"Mate, I don't think that's Sabretooth," the British git said. Guin noticed her pull out some sort of fancy blade.

"Wow, give her a fucking metal, you can recognize a simple case of possession. Now I'm going to run away from here, so you don't get skewered. And by you, I mean you Cass. I could care less about Doctor Who over here and how she turns out," Guin said, feeling a little strange hearing Sabretooth's voice but her words. She then turned around, spotting a building, and decided that it was unlikely for Sabretooth to run into any other friends of hers up there. She scrambled her way up the building with some difficulty, making it up to the roof. She then realized she didn't really have a plan for what to do next...

So Guin took a running leap, trying to make it to the next building - she made it about halfway, before gravity took its toll and she plummeted down to the ground, making a gigantic crater - and more importantly, screaming loudly and making a TON of noise in the process. "FUCK!!!!!!!"

Jade Cornish


Jade raised an eyebrow, a little bit impressed (well, more of amused) with the progress 'Sabretooth' had made in scaling up the building. It was like an uncoordinated squirrel had suddenly replaced the ruthless killer. Not that she was complaining. She knew that she could take Sabretooth out in a fight, but she didn't relish the idea of fighting him. Her angel blade and wits she was confident would be enough to best him - though she also conceded she'd likely get heavily scarred in the process.

Less than a minute later, when Sabretooth was out of sight, Jade then heard a LOUD crash - and the sound of Sabretooth screaming "FUCK" at the top of his lungs. Jade sighed. "So much for stealth. C'mon, luv, let's get out of here before the entire Brotherhood shows up to see what happened," Jade advised. "Is there a quick access to the sewers nearby?" she asked. She figured Cass would know, having lived in those tunnels for a while now. But if not, Jade was confident she would spot one soon enough.


Runa Baldurdattir & Guin Stark

Location: New York City Defenders HQ
Skills: Asgardian Magic, Darkness Manipulation and Telepathy

That was part of the trouble of her powers - Guin couldn't really control or protect her own body. So when Frenzy managed to throw off the switch, Guin was basically vulnerable to attack, her own body having not really moved much. The next thing Guin knew, Frenzy had her by the throat. She couldn't breathe, her windpipe crushed as she struggled, trying to breathe desperately. Help!!!!! Guin screamed to Pietro mentally. Her heart was pounding desperately, as every fiber of Guin's being really how very close to being killed she was.

Then, her body was slammed into the ground, and Guin wasn't even aware of the small crater formed. All she felt was immense pain. A few of her ribs were broken and she was heavily bruised. It could've been oh so much worse - but it still hurt like hell. Oww... Help... Guin croaked out to Pietro mentally. She barely registered a flash of green light knocking Frenzy out of the way, keeping her from actually being murdered. "I think my ribs are broken..." she admitted to Lance. Her body ached as he helped her up to her feet. Moving wasn't fun. Breathing hurt like hell, her diaphragm pushing on her ribs. "Go after the bitch who tried to kill me."

Meanwhile, Runa couldn't help but be annoyed by Strange's nonchalant attitude about all of this. Her friends weren't exactly very durable and these attackers seemed to be nothing but durable. Plus, a moment later, an intense pain started to surge through Runa's body, courtesy of Phantazia. "Mewling witch!" Runa cursed, before focusing her energies for her next round of moves. She decided to first get rid of some of the other players, focusing through the pain going through her body. She teleported Pyro away, hoping to put him into the ocean, but managing to put him in a puddle down the street. She teleported Phantazia into the doorway, having instead wanting to put her in a volcano.

It seemed like whatever Phantazia had done, it had impacted Runa's powers - her aim wasn't at precise when it came to her magic. That or perhaps Strange had put up some sort of enchantments to lessen the impact of magic that was not his own in his space. Either way, Runa then sent out a blast of darkness, hitting Frenzy and knocking her backwards. Meanwhile, Guin used her telepathy, knocking Nekra out and slowing Frenzy down.





Genosha: August 3rd, 2021 - 11:50 AM


Veil & Casper & Sunshine


Location: Various
Skills: Mediumship

The Green Lagoon / the Astral Plane...

David thought for a moment, trying to recall all of the souls he had seen. He'd seen his own soul before. And then the others. They tended to make themselves known. There had been a moment where he had been trapped inside of his own head, seeing them all. He counted those as souls. "At least... twenty seven?" Legion guessed. "I'm not really good at math," he then admitted.

David then tilted his head, thinking about what Harry had said - about how he was worried, since his sister was really guarded. "Well... I don't like going into people's heads, but I could always tell you what she thinks," David offered, looking uncomfortable even as he suggested it. Going into people's heads was something his dad did. David never wanted to do that. But he wanted to help Harry, and it was one way that he could do that.

The Green Lagoon...

Veil snorted slightly at Callie's idea of using her powers on Madrox. "He's already a crybaby, I'm not sure even your powers could do much to change that," Veil quipped. She did not like Madrox at all. He was an annoyingly boring man who everyone seemed to obsess over, acting like he was god's gift to women. It was like seeing a popular RomCom in theaters, but the leading man was just a wet blanket.

She did pause from her thoughts about Jamie Madrox to consider what Callie was suggesting. It wasn't a bad idea. She knew that Genosha had been using the Marauders to bring mutants back to Genosha, but the Mutant Underground Network was already established. They had their own Underground Railroad, now with a destination that could - with the exception of the recent tragedy - keep mutants safe. And Veil liked that they'd be taking Xavier's power away from him - that his ego would take a hit. "Think of what the Underground could do with Genosha's resources, too," Veil pointed out. "Half of our time had been devoted to just finding food to eat, think of all the mutants we could have helped if we had our basic needs met."

"Well, I'm not making any money," Blob said, before bursting out into a full belly laugh. "Not that anyone else is here. I can't help but overhear, y'all are going to New Orleans? I could use a way to work out my feelings if you need anyone squished."

Veil glanced at Callie - and then past her, to where she could see Sunshine and Marrow making out in a corner, and her brother still standing eerily still with Legion. "We'd be happy to have you, Blob. How are you at graverobbing?"

Akademos...

"Ooo, is that Penderyn Whiskey?!" Pixie squealed, her eyes lighting up as she accepted the glass. "If you keep these coming, we can talk about whatever you want," she joked, before taking a sip. She smiled, her eyes closing for a moment. She was Welsh and while she loved Genosha, she missed her home in Wales at time. This drink happened to take her back there, at least in her head. "Also, let's get sushi. I'm starving. You can make sushi appear, right? My food magic is rubbish."

Outside the Hospital...

Casper was relieved when they made it to the hospital - a new one for him, he tended to not really like going to places like this, doctors weren't usually a fan of Casper's life choices. But as they were here, it meant that they could get little Daniel Elliot checked out, and also that there would be a doctor there making sure that Casper hadn't already ruined everything. A stray thought then popped into his mind - it had been a while since he had gotten a new tattoo, but he wanted to get one. Something of James and Daniel - of his own little family.

"Hey, we know he's not a vampire now," Casper joked slightly about the phone. "So... I'm not the best at, like, asking to see a doctor for things or picking up things at the hospital... I tend to not really be conscious for this part, more used to waking up and being told hey man, you can't OD in here or whatever it is doctors say so... Can you take the lead?" Casper asked sheepishly.

Basically, Casper, the person who never shut up, was uncomfortable at the idea of talking to whoever was at the front desk of the hospital. The world was a strange place.

The Rebuilt House of M...

Magneto returned all of the flying metal bits back to the ground, before gliding down there as well himself, his cape flowing dramatically behind him. "You are my ward - my child, by adoption but my child all the same - so I expect to be informed as to how you were able to summon a winged horse of legend," Magneto said simply. "Just who are you, Valkyrie?" He then paused for a moment. "You both did well. However, you lack focus when it comes to accomplishing your tasks. You made many unneeded moves that wasted your time and power. Learning to communicate with one another better will serve you well. The humans will not go as easy on you as I did."

Blackstone...

It might have been Jack's imagination, but it would look to him like the portraits on the walls of Selene were watching him. As he moved, their eyes would move to follow him. There was something on the walls that wasn't a portrait, however. There was a conspicuously placed bookcase, filled with dusty books. Well, almost all of them were dusty. There was one area void of dust, as if one book was routinely pulled off. This definitely won't remind him of a secret passageway in a mansion, nope not at all...

From upstairs, Selene's voice would come drifting down.

"Honestly, Jumbo, I appreciate your work but I don't think you can outdo my couture. I have perfected the sexy vampire queen look over the millennia. Since time immemorial, I have slayed."

A man's voice - a bit high pitched - replied. "It is a stunning look, but isn't it, well...? It's been done before, girl. It's time to mix it up, to wow us again. No one should be sleeping on your look at the Gala!"

"Hmph. If you were a virgin, you would be in a volcano right now," Selene complained. "And get me an earl grey to drink, will you? Either the tea or a grey-haired earl, I'm not picky."

"I'm a fashion designer, not your butler."

"And?"

Hellfire Bay...

Renegade hadn't always been good at "responsibility" or "showing up on time" or "not leaving work to go get drunk." It had been one of Magneto's largest complaints back when she had joined the Brotherhood. Rules weren't really her style - she preferred to go with the flow. She got things done when she got things done. But in old age, Renegade had gotten a bit more responsible - at least, enough that she thought for a moment before she...

Wait, nope, she didn't think about it at all. "God, yes," Renegade said. "Later, bitches," she then said, throwing up a peace sign as her way of saying goodbye to the others she had been working with. She then glanced at the kid.

"Later, bitches!" Mongoose repeated, waving at the telekinetics. "What's bitches mean?" she then asked Miranda.





Megan Pendragon

Location: Atlantica
Skills: N/A

Megan seemingly spaced out for a moment, but inside her head, it was like a gate had been thrown open. An onslaught of memories rushed through her head. She remembered being fit for armor with the Pendragon crest as a small child, with Guinevere and Arthur, no, her parents standing by her; she remembered training with a knight... Lancelot; she remembered seeing her parents arguing in their room, with Lancelot, and mentions of her name being thrown around. Her name. She realized she did actually have a second name. Her name had been Megan Mordred Pendragon, Princess of Camelot. As Megan came to, she couldn't help but feel disoriented. She remembered her life here now. Ten years of her life, two fifths of her life, returned to her.

Her father asked her what had happened; her parents looked worried. The guard returned, saying it was time for the King and Queen to see them. Moments ago, Megan would have brushed off the concern from Guinevere and Arthur - she hadn't known them moments ago. But now, she remembered being their daughter - she remembered growing up in this world. She remembered that even though she hadn't been the classic princess, they had supported her and cared for her anyways. "Oh, just a rush of memories - probably repressed or something either by years of therapy telling me that Camelot wasn't real or Merlin's magic, take your pick," Megan said casually. "S'pose we ought to go in, though. Do you think they use a guillotine here for state executions?"

EARTH 257 - 8:20 AM Nov. 14th, 2021 - the Blue

Angel's Aerie

Update sections are organized roughly by combatants...

Cass and Matt vs Mr. Knight/Moon Knight -

"Bloody hell, that's frigid!" Mr. Knight protested, stumbling backwards as Cass struck him twice. He looked a little confused by the things that Matt and Cass were saying. "I don't know the details of your love life, bloke, but as for things not making sense - that's par for the course for me. Nothing ever makes sense," Mr. Knight admitted. Suddenly, Mr. Knight shifted in his stance and posture. He looked much more confident now, but also relaxed. His costume changed as well, looking like the wraps of a mummy, with a long dramatic white cape.

Cass had her blizzard hiding her, but Matt didn't. Moon Knight threw a crescent shaped blade at Matt, the blade missing and embedding itself in the wall behind him. But Moon Knight didn't stop at just that, this wasn't the same "I'll wait for my turn" individual from moments ago. Moon Knight rushed forward, swinging punch after punch at Matt, in a violent boxer's stance. Matt could block the majority of them, but even the force colliding against him from the block would leave a bruise. And the last one, a finishing blow, would knock Matt onto the ground, breaking his nose in the process.

Moon Knight didn't let up, raising his foot up to try to stomp in Matt's face.

Oliver v Captain America

While Oliver may not know biology (and neither does our dear GM), it would turn out the main symptoms from the severing of the Achilles tendon were, according to the Mayo Clinic, extreme swelling above the ankle, the feeling of being kicked in the calf, an inability to bend the foot or push off of it or stand on the toes of that foot, and a dramatic popping/snapping sound during the injury. In short, Captain America would be in EXTREME pain from the injury, but as long as he kept off of the afflicted leg, he could still fight. So, in true Captain America fashion, as Oliver spat on him with blood, Cap wiped the blood off of his face. He used his hands and good leg to push himself up off of the ground, his injured leg limp. Sweat was pouring down Cap's face and he spat on the ground in turn.

"I can do this all day," he told Oliver. Captain America then pressed a button on the inside of his glove, his jetpack thrusters activating and launching himself at Oliver like a cannonball. Oliver would, shockingly(?), manage to dodge this.

Maria vs Hercules

Maria managed to absorb the godlike strength of Hercules - the very strength that, in a Disney rendition of the story, had made Hercules one of Greece's best heroes. Thank her lucky stars. Hercules managed to pull himself back up to his feet. He looked at Maria, impressed. "Another empusa then," he commented, comparing her to a Greek vampire. "If you have my power, then this should be fun," Hercules said, chuckling ever so slightly, before tackling Maria to the ground and beginning to wrestle her.

Is it a brilliant plan somehow, to wrestle someone who can take your powers away with skin-to-skin contact? Is Hercules perhaps not as smart as everyone thought...?

Rogue and Gambit vs the Scarlet Scarab

The fight here was beginning to shift its favor ever so slightly. Every time Rogue went to try to absorb the powers and life force of the Scarlet Scarab, the vague outline of a hippo appeared around Scarab. The aura was so powerful that Rogue wasn't able to get through to use her powers - only Gambit's cards seemed to be able to cut on through. As it stood, the Scarlet Scarab was holding her own with surprising ease.

Amelia vs Aero

In this fight, however, there was a definite change. The pair had ended up going outside, fighting on essentially the edge before a sharp drop down the mountain - something that, had her mind not been so scrambled, would have been eerily familiar to Amelia. "You ain't gonna admit you're not the real Amelia, are ya?" Amelia asked, sending a spinning ball of air in the direction of Aero, in an attempt to knock Aero off her balance.

Aero jumped up, landing on the sphere and dissipating it. "You aren't going to either, mate, so don't act so shocked - we're in a stalemate," Aero said, before kicking up little 'stairs' of air almost, just controlled bursts beneath her feet, and making her way up onto the roof of the Aerie.

"So what now then? Are we just going to kill each other?" Amelia asked, doing the same exact move at the same time - as if the pair of them were synchronized.

"I'm not a killer. I don't know about you lot, though," Aero said, before swinging a punch at Amelia, hitting Amelia in the gut. Amelia stumbled backwards, blasting air behind her to keep herself from falling off of the roof, managing to find her balance again. Aero then charged forward at her and Amelia paused, waiting for the last second before leaping to the side - fully expecting Aero to just land on the ground below - but instead, she saw Aero fall over the edge, beginning to tumble down the mountain.

And in that moment, it didn't matter to Amelia who this person was or what was going on. Amelia was a hero. And heroes saved people.

Amelia jumped, diving after her double.

Everyone Else vs Luminous Basically

Fire may not have killed Luminous, but it was one hell of a distraction. The next thing Raynor knew, he was back inside of Angel's Aerie, kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes. He sniffled slightly, rapidly trying to calm his emotions - to regain his sense of control, the mask that he hid behind in order to seem strong, not fragile or broken. But instead of feeling calm, he was horrified. He came to just in time to see Sparky try to murder Niah. He didn't see the silver hue to Sparky's eyes. He had no clue that Sparky was possessed. To him, it was like Sparky had actually snapped and gone evil, deciding that killing Niah was going to make her feel better.

"What the fuck happened between you two?" Raynor shouted, oblivious to the obvious answer (again, he rolled a 1) that Luminous was behind this. So instead of focusing on Luminous, Raynor blasted Sparky with a beam of light, blinding her and causing her to go crashing to the ground. He didn't know what Niah had done, but he figured it had to have been something. "Niah, what did you do?!"

"It wasn't Niah!" Bonnie snapped, irritated with Raynor's complete lack of situational awareness or ability to read context clues. Flynn had told her that there weren't really any runes or wards they could use, but that OMEN had fought witches with iron. She didn't know if iron would work against Luminous - if Luminous and Wanda were the sort of witches that iron would work against - but it was as good a strategy as any. Her eyes darted around the room and she spotted a candlestick base that looked to be made out of iron.

A speedster with all of their wits about them would have just run around really fast to get rid of the flames, but Luminous was ON FIRE and not thinking clearly. So, she did what any person would do - she stopped, dropped, and rolled. But that didn't seem to be working as well as it could have been. It was like the flames refused to be put out. Luminous' voice would then appear in Flynn's mind: Douse the flames!!!

Sparky, unfortunately, was still firmly under Luminous' control. In her mind, everyone she was facing was a villain she had seen before. And she would be convinced that all of these villains wanted one thing - to kill Sparky's infant daughter.

Note - this is a one-time command issued by Luminous to Flynn; not a full trance like what Sparky is experiencing
