This forced him to smile. "What you couldn't put two and two together?" He asked. "They're dead. Not by my hand of course. Wasn't my mission. The ones who were supposed to get them all? They're dead too. That's what happens around here. We are built to succeed. Any flaw, any failure and we are dead." He knew that would be his fate soon enough which was partly why he was beginning to speak now. The moment he opened his mouth his had gone too far and seeing as there was no going back now? Well, what was a dead man to anyone? A traitor to his "home" country anyway.

“I’d guessed that, but it’s always a smart move to make sure. What do you know about who killed them?” She could tell this guy had given up. That could only mean one thing: Whatever he’d already said meant he couldn’t go back, and probably meant he’d be killed. Not her problem. That’s what happens when you join a secret organization; it’s part of the deal. “I’m assuming you were hired by the same group. Who is it? Mafia? The Kremlin? Some other shadowy organization?”

(don't worry, I had seen it xD sadly however, I had an exam joy joy)
Kyle thought for a moment before deciding on the proper response. "Inhumans." He said blankly. "Don't ask me their powers or what they did though. I don't know that much. Just that they were inhumans if that gives you anything." He paused. "I don't know if you've ever encountered any of those before?" He eyed her fists. He really didn't know much about Laura's kind, whatever she was or about inhumans. Just that these strange people existed in the same world as he did. He sometimes wondered how he had even gotten involved in it all- knowing so little about any of it. Now, he wished he had taken the time to see what the two types of people were all about. Maybe he could have saved himself before getting in this position.

(yep.) Jean sighed. "Of course. I probably should have guessed that you'd know as little about me as you do the rest of the X-Men. Jean Grey. I'm an Omega-Level telepath and telekinetic. Yes, I do know Logan, and I could really do with a familiar face right now. This obviously isn't the universe I’m from, and it's not any of the ones we've ever had incursions with. I don't recognize either of the others, though." Jean paused. "Wait a minute. How do you know about the X-Men at all if they don't exist here? And why on EARTH did you find my entire story amusing? It was 100% NOT amusing. At all. Also, do you mind if I get caught up on what's happening and what's happened so far? It shouldn't take that long." Tony thought for one long moment. “Well.. here’s the thing. There’s another guy in your same situation just down south,” Tony informed seriously. “He however managed to jump to a different dimension, which is ours, by riding through the time and space wavelengths created by Skull when he had the Tesseract. Thing is, this Tesseract kept ol Red Skull alive and he’s as young as Cap,” he inhaled, “with a better disguise. Red Skull is our current president, I was stuck in house arrest but I got free as soon as you showed up.” His eyes turned to the New York skyline. “Problem is though, the two you didn’t recognize are in trouble down in D.C. as far as I can gather, one of them is dying and the other is practically dead.” |

(hey Tals who's the other guy in Jean's situation you mentioned?) Laura and Gabby"I have some experience with Inhumans." Understatement. The X-Men/Inhuman war wasn't all that long ago, and she'd been a part of that. "Did you mean that you work for Inhumans? I want names and locations. Where were you supposed to take the girl?" This was pretty much it for his usefulness; after this, she was probably just going to knock him out again and dump him in an alley somewhere. Jean"Not quite what I meant. Sorry for not being clear. Can I look through your memories of significant events so I can get a general history of this Earth? In my experience, other Earths are generally pretty different from Earth-616, and I could use the info." She paused. Something wasn't right. There was a general air of panic and confusion in nearby minds. The people surrounding her were… watching the news? "Hold on." Jean put her hand up to catch the remote she'd just summoned, and turned on the TV. CNN started playing. "…we'll keep you updated as this unfolds. For those of you just joining us, a Quinjet, stolen from an Air Force base, has crashed into the White House after being chased by fighter jets. Images from the scene appear to show some of the Avengers splinter group led by Steve Rogers, as well as a couple of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. So far, we have confirmed that Captain America, the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Quake, and Nighthawk are part of this group, as well as this man:" An image flashed up on the screen. Black sideburns. Tank top. Jeans. "Oh, Logan, what have you done now," Jean muttered. "His abilities are unknown, but everybody in this group should be considered 'extremely dangerous'. If seen, notify the police, but do not approach." |

"I wouldn't say I worked with them," he said cautiously. Which was true, he didn't...exactly. More like worked on them. "We had a couple of them with us," he started. "They did a lot of the...dirty work for us." He stopped talking and looked down. "The mountains of Russia." It wasn't exactly the easiest place to find, or survive. In fact, he had never actually seen /how/ to get there. The only people who knew how to get there were the pilots. Everyone else was blindfolded. Like he said, he was only allowed to know so much. And even so, he had only been to the headquarters a couple of times. Most of his work was done from the US.

"I highly doubt they trusted you to take somebody all the way to Russia on an 747. Where were you going to take the girl for transportation?" One of the most important rules of kidnapping is to avoid public exposure of the subject. They probably had a Gulfstream waiting at a small airport nearby for him. Undoubtedly the crew had already ditched him and left, but she could probably still find something on it, especially seeing as she'd bugged both of the other men she'd dropped.

How were they going to get away? There was always a backdoor. Even if one was compromised. And the route was never a simple one. It had to be complicated, going this way and that in the hopes the throw off any tails. Of course, tails often could follow anything. He had been in his fair amount of chases and there was always a way. You got used to it and could anticipate someone's moves before they even happened. "Car. Commercial plane. Car. Car. Boat. Jet. And then final switchover to our smaller planes." He said. It would be a lot faster and easier to take one mode of transportation- straight shot there, but it was too risky. And while this transportation required many people in on the job (of course they were flying commercial with regular passengers), it worked and kept the system closed.

Well, that was disappointing. It made her job a lot harder, and she still had no idea where Jean was. That was a problem for later, though; she'd gotten into this, and she was going to see it through if she could. Jean would be an asset, though; she'd talk to the girl and then try to figure put where Jean was. All Strange had given her was the address where Jean had landed. "Where were you going to meet the car?"

Tony looked at the screen. “It’s technically not his fault. It is Skull’s; besides, its just a friendly rescue mission. I wouldn’t figure it to be anything else,” he gave a shrug, sitting down on his sofa and the object creaking slightly. “And no. I already had enough trouble with Alyona manipulating my emotions, I dont need someone else in my brain trying to wrack it for information.”
He sighed to himself, frowning slightly. Who was this Jean? She acted like she knows Logan but not the Aliyevs. What’s going on?

"That's fair. It's why I asked, after all. If you want, I can install some psychic shields to keep just about anybody from digging around in your head. Of course, it's not as good as actually being a telepath, but it should help keep the weaker ones out of your head, especially seeing that, from what I can tell, almost everybody on this Earth is less powerful than their counterparts back on 616." Jean shifted slightly, choosing to skim information out of the surrounding minds. Of course, it would have been easier to just dig through Tony's head, but he didn't want her to do that, and she respected his privacy, or tried to, at least. To her, other's thoughts were like them just speaking softly; while she could choose not to dig deeper, it was hard not to overhear them. It was rather strange, how similar and yet how different this world was.
(does anybody have a claim to Strange in the RP?)

Tony gave a tiny shrug. “Only if you’d like. She’s pretty good about keeping her powers to herself so Im not entirely worried,” he softly inhaled, “But that doesnt mean anything.” He stood back up, soon turning to her. “But you know what makes me curious out of all of this situation?” His eyes searched his top lashes before looking at her in the eyes. “I originally found your story amusing because I thought you were bluffing. But you’re not. Which makes me wonder, did you get impacted bu the Tesseract?” His lips pursed, eyes searching her. His mind was clear and he was focused. This would tell him a lot of things.

“I don’t know what happened. I just woke up here this morning, and I figured that, if anybody could figure this out, you could. I don’t know what the Tesseract is; that’s not something we had in Earth 616. The only things I can think of that would do this are the Space Gem, Reality Gem, the Phoenix Force, or whatever the Web Warriors have been using. I have NO idea how they do it, but they hop between universes like it’s nothing.”
Man, she was going to be PISSED if it was the Phoenix. She’d made herself rather clear; no more hosting the Phoenix, and it had seemed to understand at the time.

ΠιghtωιηgWhere was he going to meet the car? He couldn't see how that was relevant. He shrugged. "It was parked along the street where the food bank was." He said. It wasn't exactly too hidden. It was just a plain car though. Nothing new, fairly old. It fit in with the neighborhood. As did the driver. Kyle didn't know the guy personally- just hired help to transport him and the girl where they needed to be. Get in, get out. His men would have taken a different exit of course. He lifted his brows. "Anything else? I'm expendable at this point." He said.

(yay!)
She'd been hoping for an address of some sort, not just a getaway car. Well, that was disappointing, but not unexpected. "Nope." Now, it might have been more humane to use a sedative, but this guy's well-being wasn't super high on her list of priorities, and good sedatives could be hard to obtain without the proper contacts, of which she had exactly zero. That being the case, Laura drew back her arm and socked him in the temple. Uncuffing him and trussing him up, she dragged him up the stairs and threw him into the trunk of the Porsche. Getting into the seat, she twisted the key in the ignition and made her way down the driveway.
Laura came to a stop in a random alley, then opened the trunk, taking Kyle out and dumping him on the ground. Extending a claw, she cut the tape on his wrists, then got back in the car and backed away. By the time he woke up and managed to get unbound, she'd be long gone. She pulled away from the alley, flicking open her burner and dialing the blonde. "Hey. I found some stuff out; where can we meet?"
(I'm thinking maybe they'll talk for a little while and then the bad guys try to kill them. Thoughts?)

(Lol sorry for making you wait so long. It's been really crazy and I honestly shouldn't be on but my brain needs a break lol
Anywho, Ya, we can do whatever!)
Gwen had been sitting at the bench outside the food bank. A couple of times, she had gotten up, walked around and tried to see if she could figure anything out but she hadn't wanted to get too close. Of course, staying here at the scene wasn't the smartest thing either. Even though Laura had well taken care of the men chasing her, there could have been others out there that she didn't know about. In fact, there probably were. She tried not to think about that however and had just sat on the bench, pulling her feet up and tucking them beneath her legs. Her hood was pulled up over her head again and she had begun to doze off, as unsafe as that was.
She was only awoken when she heard the buzzing of her phone in her pocket. She looked at the number. Laura. Should she have been surprised? It's not like she received many calls anyways. But what did she want now? The last call hadn't exactly ended all too well. Had things changed? She hesitated before accepting the call and held it to her ear. Where can we meet? Gwen wanted to retort back that if Laura really wanted to meet with her, she could just come find her, but decided against it. Somewhere a little warmer than this? She thought. She paused a moment before answering. "How bout that McDonalds down the block?" She asked. It wasn't far from here and they could sit in the back in the cafe without anyone really paying them any notice. They would fit right in. "Unless, you'd prefer somewhere more upscale?" She asked.

“That works for me.” Laura cranked the wheel over to the right, rounding the corner. “Upscale places are better for shady business deals than covert meet-ups, by the way.” At a fast food place, more people, more weird stuff happening, much less likely to be noticed if you were acting normal. Also, you could choose your seat, which meant she could find somewhere with a good view of all the exits, and keep her back to a wall.
After a few minutes, Laura pulled into the parking lot. Shifting into reverse, she backed into a spot in the corner, then got out. On second thought, she leaned over and opened the glove box, extracting a Sig Sauer and a clip. She checked the safety, then pulled back the slide to make sure there was a round in the chamber, then slid it into her waistband and put the clip in her pocket, tugging at her jacket to make sure the pistol was concealed. Laura walked back to the trunk and popped it open, grabbing a case out of it and placing it on the floor in the back seat. Walking into the store, she got a soda and fries and took it over to the corner, making sure she had a view of both the entrances and her car. She wasn’t actually hungry, but it’s a bad idea to show up at a restaurant and not order anything. Too memorable. She sat down and took a sip of her Coke, waiting for the blonde to show up. While she was waiting, she constantly analyzed the situation. As usual, she had a plan to kill everybody in the room if it came down to it. That was just programmed into her. Recently, though, she'd also been working on having a plan to incapacitate everybody in the room; she'd been trying to avoid killing people if it wasn't necessary. Other people could be a liability, so an escape plan was also a priority. The table was only attached to the floor with one support. A quick slash, and she could flip it up, obscuring visibility and providing some rudimentary shielding, and the glass window she was sitting next to would provide a very easy out if necessary. Lay down suppressing fire and get the girl to the car.

Gwen rolled her eyes on the other side of the phone. She had only known Laura for a short time, but she was already getting on Gwen's nerves. Everything that came out of her mouth made it seem as if she were superior to the rest of the world. Gwen hated that but knew she didn't have too much of a choice in meeting with Laura. She should have just never called in the first place. But now, she wanted answers. She needed to know what happened to her parents and why.
She ended the call, slipped the phone in her pocket and slung her bag over her shoulder. Glancing around, she started walking in the direction of the McDonalds's. When she arrived, she was surprised to see that Laura was already in there waiting with some fries and a drink. How had she gotten there so fast? It was almost as if she had been expecting Gwen to have said this exact location. She walked over slowly and sat on the opposite side of the table without saying a word, but glanced up to look at Laura as if to say, well, I'm here, now start talking. She personally, didn't know where to start.

Laura looked up as Gwen sat down, and slid the fries across the table to her. "They're yours if you want them." She looked like she could use them, and Laura didn't want the fries anyway. "Okay, I have some things to tell you, as I'm sure you know, but first, I want to know what your name is. It's starting to get really annoying just referring to you as 'The blonde'." Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an unmarked white panel van and a Dodge Charger pull into the parking lot. Well, there was something to keep an eye on.
The man driving the van saw the girl sit down across from another woman, wearing a black jacket and a pair of shades. Black hair, too. It matched the description he'd gotten from the two that had gotten jumped earlier. "Looks like the target is meeting with the unknown hostile from earlier. Remember, she took down three guys in seconds. Deadly force is authorized." The doors in the back of the van opened, and four men got out. They were all wearing jeans and some kind of T-shirts, along with a jacket or hoodie to cover the .45s they carried. All four walked towards the restaurant.
