Guin was a bit surprised as a sling ring portal suddenly opened up, revealing the Sorcerer Supreme - who she was a little surprised and annoyed to see, since he was supposed to be working on a way to get them on home - standing outside the ruins of Xavier's mansion with their damaged ship in tow. She stepped on through the portal along with the others, not too terribly shocked when Strange revealed that he had a way to get them home - but that he needed their help to do it. It felt like they were living out the plot of a video game - there's a path to the goal, but trials and tests await ye, young heroes! Sounds like the McDonalds version of an infinity stone - or a McFinity stone Guin commented to Pietro, as Strange asked if any of them knew what the M'Kraan crystal was.

"Hmm, I'm guessing that you can't just teleport us to its exact location? Because that would be too easy," Guin commented. Yup, this was definitely feeling like a quest out of a game. She couldn't wait to fight Ganon at the end of all of this. The crystal also sounded like some major magic mumbo-jumbo. It probably then also followed weird magic rules. At least they had some magic people with them. Yeah, let's go check it out Guin said. Once the wizard finishes talking.

Runa was silent for a moment, as others discussed the M'Kraan crystal. She knew the basics of its existence - its immense power, the potential for danger to the multiverse at large, and then its connection to the Phoenix. That same entity was her grandmother, having lived inside the Asgardian woman and conceived a child with Runa's grandfather. She didn't often speak about her connection to the Phoenix. Not everyone regarded the entity very kindly, especially after what had happened with its Midgardian host.

"I have a connection to the M'Kraan crystal," Runa said, deciding it was best to reveal this information now. "My grandmother and the M'Kraan crystal are intimately related... for my grandmother is fire and life incarnate, the entity that Midgardians call the Phoenix." Runa paused for a moment, before continuing. "I may be able to attune to the M'Kraan crystal and use it to bring us home with the aid of the Sorcerer Supreme."

Bob Banner's Home -

"I don't know about you all, but I'm hungrier than a pregnant lady," Darcy said, stacking three patties onto a bun and taking a gigantic bite into her cheeseburger. With her mouth full of food, she continued - "See? She's eating a tiny salad and there's an entire baby inside of her!" With her gigantic cheeseburger, Darcy pointed at Bonnie.

Bonnie rolled her eyes slightly at Darcy. She wasn't planning on just eating a salad. She had a small salad in front of her, and then another plate with a truly horrific combination of toppings, hamburger patties, and hot dogs pressed between two buns. "Happy for you," Bonnie told Darcy. She was a little bit on edge. She still wasn't quite sure where things stood with Flynn at the moment - he had been one of the last to wake up at the Healing Gardens, and then they had quickly made their way to Banner's place for food and lodgings, meaning the two of them hadn't gotten a chance to properly talk.

Bonnie wasn't even sure who would be talking back at her - if it would be the Flynn she knew or someone new. But ultimately, all that mattered was the safety of the unborn child she was carrying. Bonnie just hoped that Flynn still wanted to be a part of that, that his experiences here and Xavier's psychic surgery hadn't taken that away. "I'm fine, Cass - you don't need to worry about me," Bonnie then answered.

"It's no problem, really - I could use the company anyways," Bob said with a shrug, cracking open a beer. "Sparky, huh? Bit on the nose - but then again... Not much better than Hulk, right?" he joked. He was starting to calm down and relax a little bit more, the initial shock of being reunited with his daughter wearing off.

"Yeah, she's a dead ringer for that name, mate," Amelia chimed in, agreeing completely. She was nursing a beer herself and had put an exquisitely "topped" hot-dog on her plate, along with a small bit of salad, as she was trying to make sure she got her greens. "Almost a bit cliché even, like that's the sorta name that you find in comic books. Tho I s'pose Doctor Strange isn't much better, he's a doctor and he's super fucking weird, so Strange works out for him. Or who else is there that has a fun one... I'm blanking, but you get the idea anyways."

"Personally, I'd be into taking a nap after eating and figuring things out in the morning - I'm fucking dead tired," Amelia admitted. She figured that any plan they came up tonight would be just as good as one they'd come up with in the morning, so it didn't really matter to her when it happened. But sleep, sleep was important. Every part of her body was aching from exhaustion and her brain was fatigued from the psychic surgery. All Amelia wanted to do was curl up in one of the sleeping bags and go to sleep, preferably helped along by a food coma.

"Bob might have a way to get us all back. If he doesn't... New Asgard will," Raynor said. He hadn't bothered going for a beer. Midgardian beer always tasted like absolute shit compared to what was available on Asgard. And it wouldn't get him drunk anyways or even lightly buzzed, so he didn't see much of a point to it. Raynor didn't relish the idea of going to New Asgard, but he knew that odds were, his cousin was still alive. She had used dark magics to send him through realities before - she ought to be able to do it again.

"Are we even going to bother with Luminous and Doom though, really?" Raynor then asked bluntly. Yes, it had been their mission to investigate the anomaly that Luminous and Doom had escaped through. As far as Raynor was concerned at the moment, Luminous and Doom weren't their problem anymore. He just wanted to get Sparky home safe to their daughter.

"You can't just leave psychopaths on the loose in... wherever in the world they are," Darcy protested. "They're from your reality, they're your problem - that's only fair!"

Nancy didn't really know what to say when she was told just why those giant ugly skyscrapers weren't there anymore. Had she not been a Roman demigod, she might've even been in disbelief. But she was used to seeing things rise and fall - her own home had burned to the ground. "Grody," Nancy finally decided on. She didn't feel like asking more questions about it. The world had changed while she had been gone - and it was going to keep on changing no matter what she did, provided that it didn't end.

Besides, the conversation was quickly changing as the Jupiter kid asked to go sightseeing. Nancy did a bit of a double take. Sure, she could understand a desire to see the world - but that was for when the world wasn't in imminent danger of burning to a crisp. "Zeke is right - we don't have time for that," Nancy said sharply. "You can see New York from the window of whatever train or bus we take. Grand Central Station sounds perfect. Let's go." She didn't leave any room for argument.

Leda's eyes widened as the teenaged cyclops charged at her and hugged her tightly, declaring her mommy. Leda's memory was admittedly a bit hazy on the matter, but she was fairly certain they had killed Hercules' actual mother. And in no way did Leda consider him to be her son. She didn't intend on having kids and was fairly certain that the universe could only thank her for that decision. "Nice to see you too, Herc," Leda wheezed, finding it difficult to catch her breath from how tightly he was hugging her. "Mind letting me down then, mate? We've still got work to do, the rest of the bastards ran on in."

Arthur at least seemed to have freed most of the captives, though about a dozen or so still needed to be helped. Leda would've offered to help out with a few well placed blasts of rainbow light to see if that could get the chains off - if not that then some whacks with Ultraviolet ought to do it - but she was tied up herself. And she didn't want to hurt Hercules. He wasn't her kid, but she didn't want to see him hurt - she wasn't an asshole, after all.

Her father didn't give much details on the other potential enchanted weapons that existed courtesy of Merlin. She supposed though that when you wielded Excalibur, you didn't pay much attention to the weapons that others had. Of course, Megan didn't even know the extent of her sword's power. She knew that supposedly, the sword granted the right to rule - and that it was magic in origin. She didn't know what it could do though, beyond being used to cut people.

The carriages were ready for them, with the fairy tale characters already sorting themselves into carriages. The day before, Megan would not have sought out a seat with Guinevere and Arthur. But now, she remembered them as her parents. And Megan wasn't much of an extrovert. She didn't like riding with strangers. So, Megan took a seat in the same carriage as Arthur and Guinevere. She left the door open as she got in, assuming Jack would follow most likely.

Veil & Casper & Sunshine

Mutant Underground Table -

Ben huffed slightly. He missed the part of being a ghost where people left him alone when he wanted to be left alone - except for Casper. But he had gotten so used to Casper's constant Casper-ness that it didn't phase him as much. "I really don't want to talk about being dead - I'm happy to be alive, but if everyone could just stop pestering me, that would be fucking fantastic." His table manners weren't the best either - once again, he was out of practice when it came to socializing with people.

"Like I said, cranky," Sunshine repeated. She could emphasize a little bit with Ben - sure, people were pestering him, but they just wanted to talk to him. And he had just come back from the dead - people wanted to talk about it, it was the most interesting thing about him. Give it some more time and people would start asking him about other things. On her part, teasing was how she showed affection - calling Ben cranky was Sunshine's way of saying I care about you.

"You should never ask a lady her age," Casper said, before putting the fingers of his hand under his chin, in a way to look cute and innocent. "But I'm a slut, so I'll tell you - yours truly is thirty one years old~." Had he been able to speak with a sparkle emoji, there would've been one following his sentence. Casper's attention though immediately shifted to Max's answer to the game -

"You gotta fuck Captain America, everyone knows he has a star spangled bubble butt!" Casper looked around the table, expecting to see people nodding their heads in agreement. "He's def a bottom. Maybe a power bottom, but a bottom anyways. Now Stark? Stark is a top. I'd let Stark blow my back out any day - with your permission of course, babe," he then added, slinking an arm around James' shoulders.

"...I'm so out of my depth here," David admitted nervously. He had spent most of his life in one institution or another. In some areas, he was extremely naive - and this happened to be one of them. Ordinarily when he got nervous like this, someone else would take over and run things - but tonight, he was doing his best to be present for Harry.

"You're fine, Davie," Casper told his brother. "But our little bro? He's so quiet. Why are you being so quiet, Jackie? What's your answer? Me, I agree with Max. I bet Erik is fucking wild in bed too though. Old men know things. And you cannot convince me that he's not a little fruity."

Veil shook her head slightly. Casper was derailing things a little bit, but she also didn't care. Her Shi'ar cocktail was taking the edge off and giving everything a pleasant buzz. "When you're done defending yourself, it's at the Shi'ar tent - it's called the Gin Crimson," she explained. It was a pun on the name of a not-so-secret Shi'ar society, the Kin Crimson - with famous member Erik the Red, who was not Cyclops, despite Cyclops at one point pretending to use that name.

"Huh, wonder what she wants..." Marrow then said, noticing a woman dressed with an elegant, witchy headdress walking over towards the table - making a beeline straight for Andy.

"Darling, won't you give Mummy a kiss?" Selene asked, grinning wide. She then shot a wink at Jack. "And don't think I've forgotten you, handsome."

House of M Table -

Magneto glanced up from his seat at the table, seeing Miranda standing near him. Polaris had been sitting with him at the table earlier in the night, but she had gone off with some of her friends, dancing the night away. It was only him at the table reserved for his family, the House of Magnus marked with a glowing M on the surface of the table. He certainly looked the part of an aristocrat, dressed in white with gold finery. Rather than a helmet, he wore an elegant top hat. His mind was open to whatever telepaths were present.

While they were both members of the Quiet Council, Miranda had been avoiding him - and the feeling was mutual. They had been on-again off-again for ages - Miranda had helped to raise some of his children. But this, this felt final. This felt broken. "Moneta," Magneto said, his voice even. "If you've come to deceive me, I'm uninterested," he added, not rising from his seat.

Guin Stark

Guin sighed. She didn't know how to explain it to Pietro - she knew that this wasn't their home, that these weren't their people, that these could not be their lives. But knowledge did not always prevent the emotional weight - the feeling of paranoia, of tiredness, of sorrow that had been creeping into her mind ever since they had arrived. The false memory of having her eye destroyed by Magneto was just one example - she knew it never happened, but she could remember the experience of it now, making it feel real even if it had happened to someone else. But she didn't know how to properly communicate that, beyond just hoping that through their mental rapport, Pietro got the sentiment. "Maybe once we're back home I'll have a strong drink," Guin joked, even though her heart wasn't completely in it. "But yeah, we should go back. Before some other shit happens here."

She then left the graveyard of her childhood, that lonely and abandoned bedroom, and returned to the main living area of the Stark family. All of the others seemed to be assembled now, in varying states of distress. But there was one nice thing - there seemed to be some usable parts on the floor, stuff that they could potentially use to fix their ship. Some of it Guin was sure would end up being junk, but hey, building miracles with a pile of scraps was part of her family's skillset. "I think I can make this work," Guin said, eyeing the pile. "If we're ready to go get our ship."

Runa Baldurdattir

Location: Stark Tower
Skills: N/A

---

---

Runa tried not to feel defeated as her pleas for Asgard to open the Bifrost were ignored. She was not entirely too surprised - if her reputation in this reality was the same or worse compared to their own, she could easily imagine Asgard deciding to cast her aside. It was only the will of her family that prevented Asgard from shutting her out entirely. Her heart twitched at the thought that perhaps Ragnarok had occurred here, and that was why the realm eternal was closed to her. "I do not need your comfort," Runa said, turning her head away from him. "If Asgard is closed to me, then so be it. There are other powers in this realm." Her thoughts flickered towards her grandmother. The last time her grandmother had encountered Midgardians, it had ended in genocide - but perhaps this time could be different, if she dared call out...

She didn't answer Lance as to whether or not she needed a minute. Runa was compartmentalizing now. She could shove all of her emotions aside and focus on the task at hand. Her objective was to find them safe passage home, in the chance that the Sorcerer Supreme could not ferry them to their realm. She could assemble the pieces of her shattered heart later. She left the room and returned to the main area where the others were, observing that most of them if not all had returned already.

What If?

---

---

Jade & Guin

---

---

Guin would have gone back to try to possess one of the newcomers, but everyone seemed to be moving in different directions. She couldn't go safely possess one of them without having someone to back her up - four against one would end up in her being dead or captured, rather than taking over the body of Avalanche or one of his friends. So instead of heading to go get a body with more useful powers, Guin followed her group - Mary and Cass - through the door of the nearest staircase and up the stairs. There were about four levels and from what they knew, Magneto was most likely on the top floor.

"If we see anyone I can switch with, could you ensnare them in plants for me?" Guin whispered, hoping that Mary could make things easier. She still bore the wounds Sabretooth had inflicted on her. And as much as she felt suicidal at times, she didn't want to die - at least, not now and not here. Not until Magneto was taken down. Not until her family was avenged. She quietly climbed the stairs, reaching the top floor without seeing another soul. She slowly opened the door just a crack and didn't see anyone in the hallway. "Coast seems clear," she whispered.

Meanwhile, Jade had gone through the same door that Edus had, ascending a new staircase. She was moving quietly and stealthily, doing her best to not be heard. As she went from floor to floor, she didn't hear or see anyone. It seemed all but abandoned. But most likely, everyone was concentrated to the top floor, those on lower levels perhaps being pulled out to respond to Thor, Hulk, and the Thing. When Jade reached the landing of the top floor, she paused for a moment, listening.

There were footsteps, coming from directly outside of the door. Jade had to make a flash decision. There was nowhere obvious nearby that she could hide and sprinting down to a lower floor would only cause noise. Instead, Jade readied her angel blade, prepared to stab anyone or anything that came through the door. The blade had killed the devil - she figured it was good enough for the mutants.

Cass -

Cass would open her eyes, finding herself only able to remember her life of Earth-666. The memories of Earth-257 and personality bleed had been locked away inside of her mind.

Matt -

Matt would open his eyes, finding himself only able to remember his life of Earth-666. The memories of Earth-257 and personality bleed had been locked away inside of his mind.

Flynn -

Flynn will have a choice - to fight this other Flynn, the victor then becoming the dominant personality. Or he can embrace this other Flynn and become an amalgam of the two identities. Either way, please have him make this choice in your post, and he will wake up to join the others.

The Waiting Grove -

Bob Banner was having time not getting positively misty eyed at what Sparky was saying. It probably was a testament to the fact that he was in desperate need of therapy, but he had never dared to hope that his kid would want any form of a relationship with him after what had happened. "Yeah, I'd love that - Lana... Um, do you want me to call you Lana? Or..." Bob trailed off, realizing they probably should've started with this earlier. "You can call me Bob, by the way - if that's easiest..."

Raynor had been more or less quietly supportive throughout this conversation. However, he could hear voices drifting now from the spot in the Healing Gardens where Professor X had taken the others for psychic surgeries. They must've been waking up. "I think the others are going to be ready for us soon, provided Chuck hasn't accidentally fucked their brains up beyond recognition," Raynor said, interjecting.

To be honest, Raynor wasn't sure if it was more or less awkward for him to be here with Bob Banner and Sparky, or to go check in on the others. He knew that the rest of the team wasn't exactly his biggest fan - he was a rude pretentious asshole, and he would be alive long after most of them were dead and gone. If he were one of them, he'd probably hate him too, if not for his personality than for the sea of blood he had spilled.

Healing Gardens -

Amelia was a bit surprised as Oliver pulled her into a hug, and she hugged him back tightly. She couldn't help but ruffle his hair affectionately. "I know ya missed me, the rest of this lot is right mad," Amelia joked. "As for scarin' ya... I'll do my best, but it's good to get the blood pumping every now and then - let's us know we're really alive." She let him go though, as he moved on over to Niah. Amelia was a little surprised he hadn't started with Niah, the two of them were thick as thieves lately. She raised an eyebrow at Oliver's question. She hoped he'd at least do a decent skin care routine if he were to suddenly turn purple - maybe she'd have to drag him shopping after this was over, get him the supplies he needed before his skin did crack and turn spotty and ugly.

Bonnie nodded at Maria's check-in. "I'm fine - just had a chat with a goddess," she said, aware that it was cryptic but she also couldn't help herself. There was a reason she was attracted to Flynn - Bonnie liked to be a little bit dramatic from time to time. But beyond the drama, she was also focused on staring at her lover - or at least, the person who had once been him.

"Herc does that shit all the time - same with Moonie and Scarab," Amelia said nonchalantly. The person she had been before coming to this world would've had a million questions about Bonnie and her goddess, but now, she was the Amelia of this world and the old one. She knew three people with connections to the divine from the Blue, and then bloody Raynor was a god as well. Gods and goddesses were getting to be as common as roaches.

"If you all wouldn't mind, I need quiet and solitude to continue," Professor X said, his voice tired and drained, as he continued his work.

---

Thirty minutes later...

---

Bob Banner's Home -

Once everyone had recovered from their psychic surgeries, Bob Banner volunteered to host them all during their time on the island. Professor X was concerned that these psychic surgeries would only be a temporary measure, and that while he had managed to largely correct the damage, the process rewriting their personalities and memories was bound to continue if they were not careful. Professor X and Magneto then agreed to task X-Force, Genosha's spy agency, with tracking down Doctor Doom. They promised to let the Secret Warriors know the minute there were any leads.

For now, they were left inside what basically looked like a beach house on the sandy western coast of Genosha. All of the furniture was sized for a Hulk, making everyone look like tiny kings when they sat down in chairs. Bob served up what food he had - American classics, like cheeseburgers, hot dogs, salads, and so forth. For drinks, he had water, lemonade, and a lot of beer. If anyone was ready for bed already, sleeping bags were pulled out and spread all over the living room, enough for everyone.

"So uh... Help yourself and dig in, everyone," Bob Banner said awkwardly. "Mi casa es su casa."

Nancy stiffened up the instant Zeke mentioned drawing the layout of the Lotus Hotel and Casino. She breathed in slowly through her nose, before breathing out gradually. She never wanted to have a meltdown - she never looked forward to having a breakdown. She didn't want to lose her shit in front of the Greeks. In her mind's eye, she focused on Mads and Niah, two people who were counting on her. "No," Nancy said, trying to keep her voice steady, but it more came out hoarse. "Not today." The breakdowns didn't just take a mental toll on her, but a physical one as well. And if she were to have to help Zeke sketch out a map of the Hotel from her memory, she'd rather do it alone, away from the rest of the group.

The van stopped, and Nancy assumed that they must've been in New York City. The skyline looked about right, the buildings were massively tall, and everyone seemed to be walking around with a stick up their ass. Nancy got out of the van, her dragon curled around her shoulders, and she grabbed her bag, slinging it over her shoulder and causing Joanie to briefly move aside, before Joanie resumed her position. "Huh..." Nancy scrunched up her face, turning around and taking in all of the buildings, before asking a question: "Where are the twin towers?"

"Gods, that's disgusting," Leda complained, as sewer stench filled the air. She made a big show out of holding her breath. However, she couldn't do too much of her burgeoning standup routine as she needed to act quickly. Kiera, her amazing girlfriend, had done a wonderful job of causing a smelly, watery distraction. She trusted that Arthur would be able to get the chains off of people. Leda tugged down her necklace, the necklace coming off of her neck and transforming into her celestial bronze sword, Ultraviolet.

Her sword was glowing a faint shade of red, not indicating anger - but rather that Leda was energized and ready to go. She took off at a sprint, running up at superspeed behind each cyclops in turn, and running them through with the sword. She managed to take out thirteen in this manner, leaving eight more standing. She came to a halt, pausing to catch her breath - and immediately hating herself for it, as her mouth ended up tasting like sewer. "Blehh!!!"

"Actually, a paper cut very well may just kill you in this world," Megan warned her brother. "An open wound is a chance for infection. The smallest of cuts could prove fatal before the advent of modern medicine. I am unfamiliar with the means of disinfectant used here - perhaps alcohol would suffice, or burning the wound if needed," she said pointedly. She did not have a good idea for the state of medicine here. It seemed to be more advanced than purely medieval remedies, but not quite up to the standards Megan was used to. Of course, everything seemed to vary wildly from territory to territory - she was fairly certain Camelot didn't have elevators, whereas this underwater kingdom did.

She was satisfied to see that Jack did put on some armor though. Her attention then was called over to her father, King Arthur, as he mentioned that Merlin had made rings of enchanted armor for just about everyone. It seemed though that neither her mother or father had rings like hers at the moment though, as they used loaner armor. "Did he fashion a batch of enchanted swords as well?" Megan asked, before heading out with the others.
