How have you been? It was a simple question, but one that Megan was at first not certain how to answer. She was staring at the man who had helped to raise her, and while biologically had not been her father, had at least been an uncle of sorts. This was the man who had trained her to be a knight. This was the man who, according to the stories, would win over the heart of her mother and help to destroy the marriage of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. It was somewhat fascinating, knowing the tales, yet looking at Lancelot and just seeing the good knight, the kind uncle, a member of her family rather than the means of its destruction.

"I'm fine," Megan settled on. "I... am a healer who studies the dead, in the land I come from," Megan offered, translating medical examiner into terms Lancelot - and indeed the others - may understand. "I studied fencing and I now possess excalibur. I... I fancy women. I have a brother, who uncovers secrets to help the innocent. And I do not intend to return to that other land again." Her words felt awkward, but it was important to her now that these people know her - that her mother and father and honorary uncle knew her.

Nancy raised an eyebrow as the young god explained - or rather, just said a vague explanation, without more to it. "I didn't know the gods were still betrothing teen demigods these days," she said bluntly. There was a pinprick of fear that danced on the back of her neck at the thought. She had honestly assumed the practice was outdated, banished to ancient times. The notion that Apollo could marry her off, like cattle to be traded and sold... It made Nancy want to run screaming to her aunt's hunt all the more quickly. And gave her a rare moment of pity for Demi. Her eyes trailed off after him as he went to go and fetch the food.

Cassian seemed really irritated with the speed that they were traveling at. Nancy, to be honest, was not too concerned with the pace. Cross country travel was always going to be slow. But if she were to truly examine her own feelings, it was because she did not mind delaying the journey to the Lotus Hotel. Moving at the train's pace meant that she wasn't hurtling towards it as fast as could possibly be. One option did pop into her head though. They wouldn't be able to take advantage of it until the next morning, but perhaps Apollo might give them a lift in the Sun Chariot.

But Nancy did not want to see her father.

Instead, she fixed her gaze on the minor god. "I don't suppose you have a winged chariot hidden away somewhere?" she prompted.

A horn cried out and the invading force began to retreat, what remained of it at least. Some of the merpeople were cheering, celebrating the victory. But Leda was unconvinced. This had been too easy, too fast, too quick. She liked things that were fast - she preferred things to be that way - but she didn't trust this. There had to be something more. If this had been everything Camp Fishblood was up against, then they didn't need three heroes on a quest to come here. This was probably just the beginning.

"I feel like they were probs just testing us, seeing where we're strong - and where we aren't," Leda answered Kiera honestly. "Or maybe I'm just being a pessimist. But either way, I don't trust this. I feel like that was just the first wave." One of the merpeople then approached, asking if they wouldn't mind scouting, so clearly Leda's thoughts were echoed. Sera quickly agreed to it, stipulating that Kiera and Leda would have to come. "Sure, sounds like a smashing time."

@Ever Faithful@Natsu@Ogobrogo@Nallore@Forsythe@BlueSky44: The synthezoid looked incredibly uncomfortable as Diana inquired about his relationship with his ex-wife. It had been some time since he and Wanda had gotten divorced, due to a minor mishap - he had lost the ability to have emotions and to maintain connections. Wanda had been awarded custody of the children and when Vision managed to have his emotional capacities restored, too much had changed. Wanda had moved on. They were friends now, co-parents... but nothing romantic. And he felt they would never be again.

"Wanda is... she is well," Vision answered Diana. He was very thankful that another student had walked on up - Leah - asking questions. "Ah, yes. This ship has been at this specific location for approximately five hours. I am here serving as the faculty member monitoring this ship, in case any accidents should arise."

"Are you all prepared for auditions tomorrow? I will be overseeing the seniors and sophomore groups, with Lady Nimue," Vision added, attempting to keep up the small talk - and to keep his thoughts away from his ex-wife.

Vicky would receive another secure, encrypted message: 14:40:37 34.052235, -118.243683. STATEMENT: You should attempt to initiate a friendship with your roommate. It is good for your emotional development and social standing. END OF STATEMENT.

Vision didn't comment on the tension that rapidly built up between Zelda and Diana - he knew that experiencing conflict like this was important for a young person's emotional development. He hoped that Vicky would find herself similarly in a place of conflict and tension soon. He sensed that perhaps that might develop with Teddy. One could only hope.

Not too far away, the people in the Star Trek like costumes - fellow students - greeted Vicky excitedly. "Hey!! Are you interested in joining the spacecraft and engineering club? We meet weekly on Thursday nights from 7 to 8 in the robotics lab. Vis always gets us pizza afterwards and sometimes we watch old sci-fi stuff, if you're into that!" a perky girl with her natural hair put up into space buns said. "I'm Mel, by the way - what's your name?"

@PatientBean@Ogobrogo: The person running the mailroom didn't return - and even if they had, a sword in Sabine's hands probably wouldn't have made them blink an eye. There were at least a handful of kids on campus running around with magical medieval weaponry - and if it wasn't the students, then it was the faculty. The sword Sabine received was elegant in its craftsmanship, and grasping its hilt, she would feel a bit of warmth spread through her body, as if this was just right. The sword would look familiar to Chi Mai - and not because it looks like She Ra's sword - no, she'll have a vague feeling that she had seen that sword somewhere long, long ago and that it had been important.

Probably just the weed hitting her a little hard, right?

The package did come with a sheath for the sword, as well as a strap/loop of sorts, so that way Sabine could choose to either have the sword dangle off her hip or be securely tucked against her back for ease of transportation.

April had a feeling that - even as Dorian asked if no one would bring up Percy again today, so he could take his mind off of things - that this would not be the last they heard of him. They had already had horrible encounters with him twice in two hours - at this rate, they'd have at least five more horrible encounters before they had even lit the candles on Dorian's cake! And plus, the words that Dorian had said after his session with Agatha returned to her. There was some gay shit going on here.

"Huh. You know, we usually just call the tech from, like, aliens and all the Alien Tech. Like this is Kree tech and that's Skrull tech and here's some Shi'ar tech. But no one calls what we have human tech or Earth tech or whatever? Like what if you rolled up into some space bar, and showed off your cool human tech, and it was a spoon? That's technically human tech, right, but it's not like a StarkPad or anything cool - it's not a hovercraft. But maybe then spoons are what people start to think of when it comes to Earth tech. Like, what's the spoon of Kree tech - is this ship here a spoon???" April rambled, her mind tumbling over itself as she thought aloud.

In short, she had no idea what sort of technology the Kree ship would have, beyond of course Kree technology... which could just be a spoon.

And then suddenly, Danni was going on about how fun it would be to live a Star Wars space hero sort of lifestyle. As one of Danni's best friends and a rambling bitch herself, April was completely able to just jump into his train of thought. Mostly. It involved being heroes with a ship in space and zooming around an asteroid belt - what more of a prompt did she need to let her mind run wild? "Ooo, we'd need to have some sort of a cool and tough name! Something cute and sassy, but also that would strike fear into the hearts of villains! We could be the... honestly the Hex Girls would be really cute, but it wouldn't make sense for the theme. Or we could be the... wait, nope, can't say that one in polite company aka with the teachers around, I'll tell you all later," April finished, giggling. The name that she couldn't say? the Space Sluts. Stupid, but she loved it. Plus it had good alliteration!

The smaller group came into view of the Kree ship - and April gasped, not because the ship was cool or magnificent or anything (which it was!) but because HER SISTER was there. It had been inevitable that she would run into Zelda. The school wasn't very big. And while she had not been intentionally avoiding her sister, she had just spent all summer with Zelda, and she knew her sister was probably not going to be super popular or anything... and April didn't wanna deal with it. She wanted to have fun, not have her kid sister glom onto her.

"Mayday, my sister is over there - she's the sad dollar store emo looking one!" April stage whispered to Danni and Dorian.

"No kidding," Percy said gruffly, in response to Mads' apology. "They set me on fire and possessed me without consent earlier. I thought they were assholes, but I'm realizing they're just a bunch of idiots." Even now, Percy's tone was somewhat sharp. He again did not mention that he had been the one to bump into Dorian in the first place, instead just listing off the wrongs that had been committed against him. "I thought the people at this academy were supposed to be at least somewhat competent," Percy added.

Zari filled in Madalyne rather quickly as to how the two of them knew each other. It was relatively straightforward. His mother, Dominika, was best friends with Zari's mother, Sparky. This friendship stretched across reality and space-time, defying the odds and almost causing the apocalypse at one point. It was very and they were roommates, except for the fact that his mother married his other mother, Maria, her actual true love.

Zari then made introductions with the person that Percy was now incredibly interested to meet - her GIRLFRIEND. He wanted the story behind all of that immediately. Up until the moment when Zari had blushed at his question, he had honestly assumed she was aroace. "It's good to meet you, Andy. I'm Percy Novikov," Percy said, as Zari ran off into the tent, her robotic eyeball trailing behind her. "So. You're dating Zarina. I want details. Start from the beginning, please."

Guin raised an eyebrow as Max mentioned his special relationship with Pyro. As a bi gal herself, Guin was pretty proud of her gaydar, and it was SCREAMING when she looked at Pyro and Max. "Got it, the two of you are fucking, so you trust him and can get information out of him. I love that for us." She wasn't too sure what to make of Max yet. She wasn't too sure what to make of most of the new people, to be fair - for better or worse, the rest of them had risked their lives together time and time again. It formed a tight bond that could not be defined by words. She didn't have that with Max and Perry and Jaclyn yet... especially given that Max seemed to turn up just about everywhere the Brotherhood was. Guin didn't judge him for that as harshly as she might have, given that she didn't want to be a hypocrite re her relationship with Pietro, but it was enough for her to label him somewhat sus.

Plus, Pietro had reminded her earlier that they had beef - even if Guin had already forgotten again what it had been about. Something from the House of M reality. It didn't matter.

Case in point, here was Miranda - another Brotherhood associate. She gave a sad story about the fall of Genosha, the end of her relationship with Magneto, and attempting to reconnect with her kids. Very depressing, but Guin wasn't particularly shaken. Her mind was more focused on crunching their current problem - of trying to maintain the staticky telepathic connection with Mary. She could barely make out the message from Mary, as every other word seemed to be missing, but Guin was smart and she got the gist - just as Miranda proposed something similar. The kidnapped X-Men were on an asteroid station Magneto was trying to build a new mutant nation on.

Miranda Fay is here, she said basically the same thing - that this is Genosha 2.0. We'll be on our way soon for a pick-up.

Jaclyn - that was her name, right, Jaclyn? - had an interesting thought. "Mare just confirmed - they're on a space station of sorts in Earth's orbit. Telepathic connection is weak, but it's there. I think I can guide us there in the Blackbird as we get closer, hopefully pinpoint them down more exactly." If the asteroid had limited space, maybe Magneto would want only the strongest mutants present. Maybe that was his proposal for how to deal with Genosha's fall - an event that Guin only knew what had been reported in the news.

"Wait, magnet brain's private island? Were you fucking him too?" Guin asked Max, an eyebrow raised. "Anyways, the Blackbird can detect cosmic energy and strong energy fields, nothing more specific than that. But like I said, I think I can use my telepathy to guide us to them, and spirit them away in the ship. If Magneto's just building a mutant nation, and nothing more nefarious is going on, he shouldn't have an issue with us taking our teammates home."

Neil couldn't help but smile slightly as Peregrine woke up while blurting corn dogs! She was quirky and he liked that. He could already see that she'd maybe fit in well with Carolina, Annie, and himself. For the record, he was happy to see that Annie was there. And Bethany. And their fearless leader, Mary. And as much as he felt weird around him at times, Edus. "If this is a competition... then was that just round one?" Neil asked, jumping off of Annie's suggestion.

Maybe this was just the arena for the next round of fights - that they were going to be in some sort of weird space tournament? He gulped slightly at that idea. If they were doing a space tournament, he didn't want to have to fight Mary. He knew he could technically come back from the dead, but his aunties had warned him he could only do it three times. And he had already used that gift at least once before. If Mary killed him, Neil had a feeling that he would just stay dead.

But then maybe Ed was right - maybe this was supposed to be some sort of paradise... But paradise for what? And why? Neil didn't understand what was going on. He wished that there would be a helpful NPC or someone around for an info drop, like what would happen in a video game. They were going in blind and it was making him sweat. Mary mentioned that something was blocking her telepathy - and given that she was the Phoenix, it must have been something BIG.

Neil got up and followed Bethany as she tried one of the doors, opening it up into a similar room to the one they had been in - and revealed a dark haired man, a SHIELD agent that Mary seemed to be super familiar with. If Mary was cool with him, then he was cool with Neil. "Let's keep going, I don't like the idea of just... waiting for something to happen to us," Neil murmured.

Nancy rolled her eyes as Kristin returned the question to her. "If I did, I wouldn't have asked," Nancy muttered. There wasn't much use in muttering of course - she was fairly certain that any minor god would be able to hear them this close, no matter what volume they spoke at. But still, habits died hard. Her irritation with Kristin was short lived though, as the minor god ended up coming on up to the table with Demi not too long after placing an order.

Nancy took a sip of her drink during the introductions, and almost very nearly sprayed Kristin, quickly covering her hand with her mouth as Demi dropped a bomb. "Your... your betrothed?!" Nancy repeated, her eyes wide with shock. She had to resist the urge to laugh. She didn't want this minor god to incinerate her. Maybe Janelle was lucky that Zeke wasn't into her anymore - this entire situation seemed to breed mess and chaos. Though Nancy wasn't really sure who was messier - Zeke or Demi. For Zeke's sake though, Nancy hoped that he and Demi would break up. Mortal rivals to gods never ended up surviving long in the stories.

"I'm sorry, I think I must have misheard you. You said betrothed? If you knew about this before you started dating my brother, I'll hunt you. I swear it."

Suddenly, a cyclops crashed into the remaining siege weapon - and Leda couldn't help but let out a low whistle of astonishment. She had seen the way the water had wrapped around the monster as it soared, and she knew that odds were, Kiera had been the one behind it. Sure, there were other demigods present who could control water, but Leda recognized her girlfriend's handiwork with pride. She started to run back to the others, since the siege weaponry was all taken care of now, only to be taken by surprise - a cyclops had snuck up behind her!

Its club connected with her back, sending Leda onto the ocean floor hard. The monster roared, raising its club to smash again, only to be tackled by... Hercules! Leda squinted her eyes, annoyed and thankful as Hercules destroyed the cyclops in defense of his mommy. Ugh. Leda really did NOT like being called his mother. She'd rather be called a slur. "Thanks, Herc," Leda said, picking herself up and rising to her feet. "And again, I'm not your mum. If you insist, I'll accept sis. But not mum. I'm much too young and beautiful to be a mother. And not interested in being a mother either."

Megan followed Rapunzel into the next room, along with her parents. It took her a moment to recognize the man laying on the bed, even knowing who he was as she had entered. She saw her own intense dark eyes in his face. His brown hair was damp and curly, likely from sweat, and his face lightly covered in hair, the beginnings of a goatee. He clearly had seen better days. He looked like he had been beaten within an inch of his life and had just started the road to recovery. Apparently Maleficent's men had been responsible - they seemed to be responsible for almost everything that went wrong in this world, aside from Jack's father of course.

"Hello, Ser Lancelot," Megan said, noting that he was staring at her. The last time he had seen her, she had been a child, still with her natural blonde hair. And now, she was a raven haired medical examiner. She imagined she looked hardly recognizable to him. He probably wouldn't have imagined that the little princess would become so gaunt and morose.

Bounties of Space

April had always adored purrgil.

If they had been a witch in the universe of the Owl House - a cartoon they had adored as a child - they would've made a purrgil be the shape their palistrom took. They were incredibly majestic creatures, naturally able to dip in and out of hyperspace. Some people thought they were bad luck, and maybe they were - emerging out of hyperspace into a purrgil was a great way to end up dead. But still, there was a sort of serenity about them that April liked - that caused them to not flinch in fear as a few of the purrgil nuzzled the ship. If it hadn't been for the spider web cracks, they would've pressed their hand up against the glass, trying to make a connection with these lost creatures.

"I'd love a pet one. Or two. Could name them Scylla and Charybdis. Y'know, the Greek sea monsters who guarded the sea, killing sailors in that little strait. The one with the rocks and all? It'd be fitting, actually. We could pick off people in the Belt ourselves, with Scy and Char as the muscle. Maybe it's time we tried out being pirates, once we get absolutely fucking loaded off of this bounty hunting gig?"

They had another thought though about the purrgils - one that they thankfully didn't blurt out. They didn't know how Dorian would take it, and if the idea hadn't crossed his mind, it was better that way. But the strange abilities of the purrgils to travel the hyperspace lanes, well, it reminded them of the pair of teleporting siblings they had known. Hell, one of them had even been named Percy. Purrgils. Purrcy.

"Wait, no no no no no, we don't have time for food! We already used all of our non-existent extra time on getting that fucking stupid Ravager ship. We can eat once we're rich as shit or we're dead, whichever one happens first!" April protested through the comms.

His eyes seemed to rest on Diana, but the synthezoid truly could have been looking at any of them in particular. His eyes were more powerful than any camera currently on the market - and most microscopes as well. "Ms. Novikova," Vision greeted, "it is good to see you. How are your mothers?

April's eyes widened in shock - mostly at her own lack of thought. She had been so busy trying to dismiss Agatha that she had let her words just ramble and ramble, getting away from her, and accidentally hurting Mads' feelings in the process. April was mentally kicking herself. She knew that she was a chatterbox - she knew that she needed to stop and think before opening her mouth - and that she could always get herself into trouble that way without much effort or thought on her own part. "Oh OMG fam I didn't mean it that way!! I meant like those crusty old witches with mysterious pasts and like scary cats and stuff and warts and everything - not like you, you're a good witch, and a good person, and if anyone ever says anything else then they're a complete and utter idiot," April apologized, hoping that Mads would forgive her - and that her feelings weren't too bruised.

A lot of things then happened all at once. Dorian swore at the asshole freshmen, threw the jacket at his face, and then rejoined them. Leah tried to discretely slip away, only to shove past Zari in the process. April's phone buzzed with a text, but she didn't have a chance to check it. Dorian pulled them all into a group hug, apologizing for getting people to do tarot, and Mai revealed she burped in Agatha's tent. April couldn't help but giggle. She bet the witch hated that.

But most importantly, Sabine had said April was right. Maybe she had a good opinion of her! April did an internal dance of happiness not too long after that had happened. She had gone from probably a nobody in Sabine's eyes to a somebody in less than just a few hours! Despite having kept her crush to herself this summer, April was now suddenly dying to talk about it. Maybe she and Mads could talk about it that night, after Dorian's birthday stuff.

Sabine praised Dorian for yelling at the terrible freshman - and then offered to mindwipe anyone Dorian didn't want attending. "I agree - it was totally iconic the way you were like FUCK YOU PERCY and like threw the jacket at him!! I wish we had a video of it, I bet the clip would go viral." April didn't say it, but a small part of her was worried that Dorian would ask Sabine to mindwipe her so she couldn't go. It wasn't a big part. But a small part had that anxiety.

Danni grabbed Dorian and announced that it was time to walk and talk, as the group (finally) started to migrate away from Agatha's tent and towards the spaceship. "I don't mind running to the store - what do you need?" April volunteered. "Of course, it's up to Dory how many people he wants to have there - you only have your birthday once! Well I guess you actually have it every year, since that's how a birthday works, but... you know what I mean!"

Percy Novikov was flabbergasted, as fabric hit his face. The asshole had been trying to apologize? He had made this jacket custom... to make up for the one they had ruined? Percy's brain glitched for a moment. This didn't match the narrative that was going on. He considered again the words Dorian had mouthed - had he not been cursing at him, just poorly mouthing an apology? Was Percy in the wrong in this situation? Did he owe Dorian Gray an apology?

Percy quickly rejected that conclusion. He was never in the wrong.

Dorian Gray was just an idiot - maybe not an asshole, but an idiot who portrayed himself as one because he didn't know any better. Percy pulled the jacket off of his face, and swung it over his shoulder. He stared for a moment at Dorian Gray. Percy then turned his attention back to Zari - who was seemingly unfazed as one of the assholes idiots plowed right into her. "Jesus," Percy cursed. Yes, idiots made sense. These people weren't mean. They were just stupid.

"Wait, the Y2K girl?" Percy asked Zari, raising an eyebrow. He saw that the group of assholes idiots were migrating away now, despite one of them - Mads - trying to suggest that he and Dorian fight. "Zarina Raynordattir... Do you have a girlfriend?" Percy asked with a smirk, a twinkle in his eyes. "I need to hear about this, immediately - or rather, right after our fortunes are read. I believe you were here first, so go on. I can tell Andy stories about you when you were little while we wait."

"When I infiltrated Phantazia's mind, she seemed convinced that she just needed a win," Guin explained for the others. "I don't know why, because unfortunately her powers are annoying as fuck and kept throwing me off, but their goal doesn't seem to have been to hurt us... Except for Exodus. Because he's a dick." It didn't make sense to her why the Brotherhood decided all of the sudden they needed to have some friendly 1x1 practices - or why the winners had gotten yeeted away in some weird pods. Was Magneto hosting a tournament arc???

I don't think it'll shock him, sadly.

Guin raised an eyebrow as Miranda came into the room - Magneto's long term girlfriend. In the House of M reality warp Wanda had done, Miranda had actually been Magneto's queen. And Pietro's mother. "Sorry, how exactly are you going to be helpful?" Guin asked, ruder than she had intended. "Because unless you know why the Brotherhood decided to jump us today and then take all the winners away in pods like the prelude to some sort of company wide crossover event meant to sell toys, then I'm not sure you can really help us. Also, shouldn't you be hanging around with Magneto? Or did you finally dump him? Or did he dump you? Either way, both of you can probably do better - or maybe worse."

Mare, can you hear me? Use your space chicken powers and respond, please... Guin thought privately, wondering if the Phoenix host could hear her - wherever she had gone.

Neil jolted awake, finding himself in a space-age looking medical facility of sorts. It was pretty sparse, so no one was undergoing surgery or anything in here - more of a recovery ward of sorts. He sat up quickly, looking around the room and picking out some of his fellow X-Men, but not all of them. Edus was here, but Max wasn't. Neil briefly considered that maybe the centuries old wizard might've cursed him - his memory was a bit fuzzy as to what had happened during the fight, but he had a feeling he hadn't said or done anything that would win over Max the Mad Mage...

"Can you send our coordinates to Westchester?" Neil asked Mary simply. One of the perks of the Phoenix Force was access to a special cosmic sort of telepathy. He wasn't going to panic. Sure, it seemed like maybe Magneto had kidnapped them, but the X-Men had a space worthy vessel. The others could fly up to them as soon as Mary told them where to look, they'd escape, and that would be that. They'd probably have to take a detour to foil whatever nefarious scheme Magneto was up to, but that was pretty standard X-Men business.

"I see. The plan is incomplete, then." Megan didn't want to dance around that subject. It did annoy her somewhat, mostly because she would have preferred that Merlin had been direct immediately, without her needing to pressure him a bit. He didn't have a full plan. That was fine. It wasn't like he was a wise old mystical type or anything along those lines. The disdainful part of her wondered if this was why Maleficent had managed to rise to power - the way paved by subtle incompetencies. A magician probably was not a natural strategist when it came to war, at any rate. She doubted there were battle strategies inside Merlin's tomes.

Rapunzel then came down, and said something to Merlin. Merlin then relayed the message to the rest of them - which also annoyed Megan mildly, as she would have preferred for Rapunzel to just say so herself. But whatever. It was fine. She was intrigued by the possibility of meeting Lancelot. She had fond memories of him - he had been like a second father to her growing up... an interesting circumstance certainly, knowing what she did from the modern world about the potential affair between her mother and Lancelot. "Alright. I'll see him. Where is he?"
