A look of scorn crossed Elizabeth's face for a moment, before softening. Runa, at the end of the day, was right. She was trying to make things about herself, and that wasn't what had to be done right now. She just nodded silently, before turning over to Nadia and shrugging. This wasn't her show, and it was time she stopped trying to make it that. It was Runa's time to shine, it seemed, and prove herself. It was only fair to give her that chance, though doing it in a time of crisis like this was hard to cope with. She was just going to make things more difficult if she kept trying to seize control.

Personally, she thought she should go with the Baldur crew, her blindfold kind of made her idea for sneaking around places, and this would definitely be a stealth mission. She initially opted not to argue though, and just rolled with it all. This wasn't how she would divide the teams at all; her ideal division would be Arnora and Elizabeth on different teams, split up the milenia of experience between them on each team, keep Runa on the team to get her dad, but pair Elizabeth with her. That would leverage their resources more optimally, and she pursed her lips for a moment, before holding to her decision, and keeping her mouth shut.

Oliver nodded at Psylocke, before saying, "We'll appreciate your cooperation, thank you for your time." He said, before matching Niah's look. They had to go do that, something he was dreading, and had no idea how to do. Everything else in his life? Hacking, a Skrull invasion, hell, even making friends? He could study for that, he could prepare in some meaningful way. Not this. It was too personal. There were books and seminars and endless amounts of platitudes and advice for dealing with grief, but none of it mattered. This wasn't somebody losing their mom it was him losing his mom.

As the conversation drew to an end, he realized that was what was next. They were out of things to stall with, and all that was left to do was gaze into the abyss. He felt like running, but he couldn't do that, not with Niah here. Damn him, for bringing an accountability partner. Quietly he said, "Yeah, we need to go... tend to that. Niah, we're good to go?" He asked, partly to explicitly check to make sure they were safe to leave these two alone and, in a way, asking was a way to get that final push to leave.

As Klara's healing washed over Elizabeth, she gave a relieved exhale, feeling her leg return to normal, "I owe you one, thanks a bunch hun." Shortly after, she smiled at Antoinette and nodded, "Much better, now, let's-" She started to say, before the game spit out a person. A familiar person, one whom Elizabeth had scorned not a minute ago. "Oh, I guess she found her way out, Hey Runa!" She said, before noticing that while Runa has returned, she was not herself at the moment. This, she surmised, was not good, a hypothesis which was confirmed by the assault on Lance.

This was of course, not good, and as Klara hopped on explaining her powers, Elizabeth mentally made a note. Had she not said that, Elizabeth may have let some snarky hero-esque line escape her lips, which would have ended poorly for all of them. However, she did get another idea from Klara's exposition, one that was terrible in all the possible senses. She had one advantage over the rest of them, she had a robot arm. So if she went to grab the staff, it shouldn't hurt her, since she wouldn't be touching it. That sounded logical enough to her, and as such, she rushed the girl, and ripped it out of her hands.

Shortly after, she realized that this was what some may call a mistake. A stabbing pain shot through her body, and she let out a cry. Thinking on her feet, she tried to transmute the staff, but found her powers unable to do so. This was of course, not good, so she settled for the more obvious solution; chucking the damn thing. Giving it a hurl away from both of them, she put about five feet of distance between Runa and her staff, and interposed herself between them. "Hey, if it makes you feel better," She started to say, the aftershock of the pain reverberating through her body, "I am sorry if I wasn't the nicest to you in the jungle. Turns out, you coming and choking my friends really makes me see you in a different light, you know?" She snarked, hoping the others would be able to keep the staff away from her.

Arthur mirrored Andy in a way, taking a step closer as well. He couldn't hear her, but he knew it was important to stay close to the people who you could trust and who you had, and that was Andy right now. He needed her more than anything, and a part of him knew that that need was reciprocated. Everything felt so terrible, but maybe things could be a little better as long as the two of them were together. Even if that meant that didn't stay at the camp forever, they could be safe and maybe even happy together.

Taking her hand again, he squeezed a little, before turning his attention to Alannah, "So she just abandoned us for no reason?" He asked, a little coldly. The sea of monsters? Bermuda triangle? Circe? These terms meant little to him, outside of having faintly heard conspiracy theories about the triangle. He didn't understand why she would just leave them. That didn't make sense in his head. They were, it seemed, at least kind of friends, and to just abandon them all seemed cold, and a little sociopathic.

Well, that was the quiet part out loud, but Niah wasn't making any sudden moves, so he assumed everything was fine. Exhaling a sigh of relief. "Well, were any of you separated at any point from the rest of the group?" He asked. If even one of them was replaced, that would still be a threat. A Skrull Doctor Strange sounded like a nightmare scenario. "I do want to apologize for coming here and practically accusing you of being one, but these are delicate times, I hope you understand." He apologized Rubbing his temples, he nodded at the Captain's suggestion.

"That's a good idea. The only problem, of course, is that America is a bit on fire right now with Hill's laws. We'll have to see if they'll corporate." Oliver honestly didn't know how Professor X actually felt about all of this, but he hoped they'd be able to put that aside to end this literal alien invasion, "The only catch, of course, is if Professor X has been replaced, he wouldn't help us. Would you be willing to come with us, should that be the case?" He asked. He knew it was a big request, but in the face of the fate of the planet, he had to think that they'd be able to get some form of help.

Elizabeth nodded at Antoinette, saying "Thanks, yeah, here." She said, giving her a roll of bandage to hold, before wrapping her leg up some more, getting her in a much better spot. Looking over to Lance, she turned her head to the side, and said, "You know Runa? How?" She felt like she was still out of the loop on things, from learning about the alternate reality, to seeing that the team seemingly knew the Asgardian girl. It was just at this moment that Elizabeth realized Klara was there. She must've ended up here when she disappeared, which made her wonder why Loki would want all of them together like this.

It was around that time Pietro was thrown against a wall, and that took up the majority of her attention. She averted her eyes from the compound fracture, and kept herself from retching at the sight. She wanted to help, but she honestly didn't know if her powers could heal well. She knew she fixed Pietro's legs before, turning stone to flesh, but she didn't think now was the time to start experimenting with flesh sculpting. Even if she could heal with that, it felt like it would definitely be on the evil side of things. Forcing out a response, she responded to Edus, "You can heal me whenever you like, I'd for sure appreciate it."

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow in the direction of Klara, before saying, "If you'd rather me be quiet on the topic of the best way to prevent the end of all things, I can do that, but putting a muzzle on any of us sounds like the way to make sure we all fail. If Runa has a problem with me, let her say it, don't fight for her." Elizabeth said, crossing her arms and sighing, "Look, I get that me being the one to say that we need to put things behind us is shitty, and it's coming from the wrong direction, but if we could at least put our animosity on hold until everyone is safe again, it would be in literally everyone's best interest."

Turning her head as Dalisy walked off, she couldn't help but admit she was the tiniest bit disappointed in her. She could be useful, as much as she might cause friction with the rest of them, but that was exactly what she was talking about. Every fracture made it more and more likely that the world would end. They needed to stand united, or they may as well not stand at all. "If we've all got something to say, let's get it out now. It's best not to let things fester. I get that I've been... difficult in the past, so please, feel free to air your grievances. We're going into a dangerous situation, we need to be able to trust one another."

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.
