Arthur turned his attention to Andy and looked away from the fleeing dragon. "I'm sorry life was that way for you. It's not fair, and it's not okay." He said, crossing his arms, and pulling his arms away from the ballista. He was looking for words, but it wss hard to find anything past childish complaining. This all hurt, a lot, and he was exhausted. "I just... I need things to not be terrible for a little while. You know?" He said, exhaling. As the portal opened, he turned to watch Rebecca disappear. A look of surprise crossed his face, wondering where she was going and why.

It felt like a goodbye, and at least this loss of a friend wasn't death. He felt bad, things were unfinished with Rebecca, and now he wouldn't get to resolve them at all. This all said, he hoped she would be alright, wherever she was. It was just him and Andy now, really, in a lot of ways. The others were kind, but it felt like everyone else he had started to get close to had disappeared, one way or another. If that happened with Andy, he honestly didn't know what he'd do, but he would do everything he could to prevent that from happening. He needed her more than anything right now.

Oliver was visibly surprised that she knew about the Illuminati, and weighed her knowledge for a moment, before continuing. "Well, not exactly." He said, not knowing much about the Kree, "I'm unsure of the reasons for why, but Skrulls have started to come to Earth. We know for a fact that multiple agents have been compromised, and we worry that they've started a kind of invasion." He explained, crossing his arms. As the water rippled, he took a step back, before Captain Britain emerged from it. Giving a smile, he nodded at him, before reintroducing himself, "Agent Sulivan, and my partner, Agent Bautista." He said.

"As we were just explaining to your sister here, it appears that the Skrulls have started appearing on Earth, and given that you and the rest of the Illuminati had first contact with them, we thought it'd be prudent to come have a chat." He explained, before giving a brief side eye to Niah, hoping she'd be paying attention to read Britain's response, "We've come to understand that you and your team were captured by the Skrulls during your encounter with them, would you mind going into detail on that, specifically with regards to your escape? I know this is sudden, and I hate to rush, but time isn't on our side at the moment." He smiled at him, in the event Britain wasn't a Skrull, any knowledge he had could be of great use and importance, so he looked forward to hearing what he had to say.

Red hot searing pain is what Elizabeth felt as the jaguar latched onto her leg. Wincing in pain, she acted almost instinctively, and shakely pulled her arm, and rested it on it's head. Not thinking of the terrible ways this could end, she charged the gun, and let it go off into the jaguar's skull. Looking down as her badly bleeding leg, she was glad it was still there, while the big cat was not. Clasping her hands around it, she tried to stymie the bleeding, as she felt herself being picked up, and saw the world shift back to the X-men mansion. Taking a deep breath, she coughed a bit, before craning her neck around the room.

Looking around, she noticed Runa wasn't with them, and she cursed under her breath. She didn't like the girl much, but she didn't want her trapped in the jungle. That was a problem, but it could also be solved later. Shakily standing up, she spotted a medicine kit, and drug herself towards it, as she started tending to her wounds. "There's another girl in there." She breathed, applying some antiseptic to her leg, before wrapping it up, "An Asgardian, been trapped awhile. Something deeper is going on here." She explained, sitting her ass down, and taking a breather.

"If she wants me smacked, she should come over here and do it herself." Elizabeth said dryly, before closing her eyes and exhaling, "Listen, What I did might've been a bit sudden and out of line, I didn't mean to freak you out as much as I did, so" She paused, "Sorry." Some things were worth fighting over and some weren't, and the latter list got considerably larger in the context of the end times. "Things have gotten a bit serious recently, if you all haven't noticed, so here's what I propose." He started, stepping out of the elevator, and crossing her arms. She knew it wasn't her place to plan, but she knew they all needed to pull together to make this work.

"Hel has two main problems we need to deal with, the army is apparently working on gathering resources, and the caged Baldur. We know Baldur is in Hel's Throne room, so any attempt to get to him will have to cross paths with her, in all likelihood." She explained, "So, I propose two teams. One to disrupt the army, which will hopefully distract the Death Goddess long enough for a second team to break in and get Baldur." That was her best attempt at a plan, and she thought it was pretty good, all things considered, "The smaller the team in the castle, the easier it will be to sneak through, you know?"

Arthur inhaled as Andy tended to him, and he looked at her, before weakly nodding. Fighting was better than dying. That was what he had to focus on, and nothing else. If not, he was going to die, and if he died, everyone else probably would to. Following Kieras lead, he looked over the the Ballista, and decided that he would have to try to use that. His knife would be borderline useless against something this big, and he absolutely refused to use necromancy. He was too unstable for that right now, he didn't know what he would end up bringing out if he tried.

Scrambling over, he put his hands on the ballista, trying to move it. It was heavy, and he was small, so it wasn't something he was good at, but with effort, he pushed it in the direction of one of the dragons, before firing it off, smalling a bolt into the monster's body. Exhaling, he realized he had no idea how to reload this, and stepped back, looking at the beast he had hit. He felt sorry, but at the same time, rationalized his actions as necessary. These beasts didn't feel bad about trying to eat him, so he shouldn't care about defending himself.

Oliver followed her down the hallway, and had to keep himself from being awestruck at the hidden passageway behind the bookcase. That was basically every nerd's dream, and he actively wanted a house one day that had one, unrealistic as it might be. This building was old though, and that was something he missed about this side of the pond. America, as great as it was, was young. The entire country felt old to him, and he liked it. Stepping into the study, he couldn't keep himself from grinning. This was cozy, almost everything he wanted, if the man wasn't a skrull, Oliver might actually feel a bit jealous of him.

As Psylocke asked them why they were here, he cleared his throat. "Right, it's a bit complicated." He said. He didn't want to immediately make things obvious for her, especially if this place was crawling with Skrulls. "Basically, your brother went on a mission not too long ago, and we're worried that the threat he faced may have escalated in a big way." He said, not lying, but keeping his response vague. Hesitating for a moment, he said, "They're called Skrulls, and according to all the records I could find, he and the team he worked with, were the first to encounter them. Any information he could provide would be invaluable." He hoped that satisfied her curiosity enough, though he was still on guard, ready to retaliate if she was secretly a Skrull herself. If Captain Britain was, it followed that the entire family could be too.

As the jaguars made themselves apparent, and they all started fighting them off, Elizabeth did her part and leveled her arm at one of the remaining ones. She didn't have fantastical magic like Runa, but she did have Stark tech, and that was pretty damn close. Drawing breath, she fired and knocked one away, but didn't manage to do much in the way of actual damage. She felt a bit frustrated at this point, feeling like the thing that made her an X-man wasn't doing much in the way to actually help her. She didn't want to be totally reliant on something anybody could have. She wanted to be special.

Then, she got an idea. Reaching down quickly, she grabbed a clump of dirt, and gripped it, watching the color turn from a dark brown to a bright white, and then start to turn clear. At that point, she pulled the ball out to a point, and hurled it at the jaguar, embedding the glass in the side of the beast. That made her feel cool and uniquely useful, and just generally better. Hopefully, this would scare the beast and get it to leave them alone. It shouldn't be easy to move with that wound in its side, she thought, but she didn't know too much about how these creatures worked.

Beth shrugged, "We'll need all the help we can get, so we'll be happy to have you." She nodded shortly. She wasn't about to talk down to those who wanted to help. Exhaling a bit, she said, "Don't mind Dailsy though, she speaks about as well as she fights." She said, giving a playful tug on the hand leading her. At Amora, she shrugged, and said, "And that's all well and good, but people who hold seats of power for so long aren't good." They got complacent, or detached from the will of the people. It wasn't a problem to have elders in her society, people died and the clock turned, but with them all being immortal, the clock was stopped.

Stepping into the elevator, she leaned against one of the walls, before saying, "When we get to her, I probably should keep my mouth shut. If I had to guess, she's still gonna be cross at me after the events of this morning. If you wanna go for it, you'd be my best bet as a communicator, Lara." She didn't trust Dailsy to speak in a way that wouldn't get her to shut down immediately, and Lara was divorced from the entire situation. She'd be able to come in as a neutral party, and hopefully get Runa to work with them to get themselves the best shot at averting this crisis.

And dragons were about where Arthur checked out. He kind of almost fell back in surprise, before feeling paralyzed with fear. His first thought? These things are too big to exist. Looking upon it, he almost didn't know how to process it. It was a massive, scary lizard that wanted to breath fire at them and probably eat them. What the hell was going on today? He was never attacked this often before, surely life outside of camp couldn't be this dangerous for demigods, they'd all be dead before they could even get there. They weren't even in a city or anything, they were in the sky.

Shaking, he didn't even think to throw his knife. It felt like that would be inconsequential at best, or piss it off at worst. It was too big to try to stab, it'd be like using a bobby pin on a blue whale. No, instead, he backed up from the dragon as much as possible, and started shaking when the dragon blew fire at them. This was terrifying, and his heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest. If Rebecca hadn't put up the shield before, there was a good chance they'd all be dead by now. That realization hit him hard, and he had to actively keep himself from bursting into tears.

To say Oliver was nervous on the flight would be an understatement, it felt like he couldn't sit still, often getting up to pace around the jet. A lot was going to be coming to a head today, and he already knew the outcome of one of them. Looking over to Niah, he said, "Thank you for coming with me Niah, you have no idea how much this means to me." He said, right as the ship landed. Sticking his head towards the door, her took a deep breath as it opened. They needed to talk to Captain Britain as soon as possible, then get to his mother. Even if he didn't end up being a Skrull, he could give them information from when they were captured.

Oliver wasn't even a little surprised to see they had a greeter, and smiled at Betsy, saying, "It's good to be home Miss Braddock, I'm Agent Sullivan, and this is Agent Bautista." He said, gesturing over to Niah. "I hate to rush, but we're on a rather tight schedule, if we could speak to your brother as soon as possible, we'd appreciate that." He didn't want to slip in the fact they would be working around a literal deadline. That felt like undo pressure, especially if this place wasn't crawling with skrulls. He took a moment to breath, missing his home, and feeling almost a bit safer just from being here.
