"Reality is a reference point, not a limitation."

Glitter had been working on standing up for herself when challenged, and whilst Viv's responses didn't seem entirely 'challenge' like, it still seemed like something that could be debated rather than simply automatically conceded to her. "Um... What has Ultron got to do with Magneto? If Magneto is a hero in any world, he'd meet all the criteria, right? And Patrick is the Scarlet SPIDER? check. Your costume has male proportions, check. And you are from Earth? All criteria there met, near as I can tell. Still, I'll let the teachers decide."
As everyone seemed ready to leave, she glanced in their direction even as she readied the controls on her own device, waiting just long enough for some signal as to their opinion of this interpretation before leaving with the others.
Once in the exact same place, an entire universe away, she took a moment to enjoy the surroundings, before the calm was shattered by a thunderous sneezing coming from Thor Girl. As the lightning came suddenly as if to agree with her mental summary, she yelped and leaped backwards.
"Try to keep your lightning in check for a moment, I think I've got some antihistamines somewhere..."
Her entire body was surrounded by a shimmering, sparkling aura for a second or two, and when it receded she was now holding a small packet of over the counter tablets, and a small bottle of water, which she nervously floated over to Tarene telekinetically, unsure about whether it was safe to approach her too closely right now. Hopefully she'd accept them so they could get on with their hunt, but if not? Maybe there was something else they could do to help...

Wow! They actually listened and were heeding her advice, that was better than expected. Adjusting her watch Ziggy was suddenly transported to a space between two buildings. She looked around at the area as Thor Girl sneezed like mad. The only thing was she was feeling a little off herself. Perhaps reality shifting was not her forte. Placing her hand in her pocket she withdrew a few modules which she quickly turned into a tablet whilst searching for any internet or other thing that would be for coms.
She looked over at Scarlet Spider and nodded at his suggestion as to splitting up. What they needed first was some intel. There had been a couple of files that she had skim read about the Defenders but that was a while ago.
"Do you know where we might possibly find a spiderman? Is there an area where he would normally be about?"
She was speaking to Scarlet Spider at the same time as tapping frantically trying to get hold of any local news or intel on where people might be and also IF the meeting place was still there. Looking up to the others she smiled at Glitter's improvements with her powers.
"Good job Glitter."
Then spoke to the group at large.
"Just checking to see if there is any information on what we are looking for and checking the rendezvous point then we can all split up. Be back at the point when you have got what we need?"

"Tall, lean and Gamma Green- that's me!"

"Sealing spell and rudimentary magic skills. don't let me down!"
Dimension hopping! The incredible amazing of it all! The tardiness too forgotten, really buried under the thrill of the hunt and the possibility of seeing the amazing! As they appeared she lifted a bit off the ground and rotated on her Axis. “I was late, did beast Say anything about our other dimensional selves?” She’d seen enough Star Trek to know it would be a ting if they met, should be avoided the telly lectured. “Flowers!” She beamed, thematically poppy would be more OZ vibe, but these weren’t half bad, that is until Thor Girl called the lighting, her first impulse was to fly close to offer a hand but the lightning told her that was likely..”not good” While the group got that sorted she kept her hover near Viv, and smiled radiantly. “List is ready, once she’s squared we’re good to go.”
Viv was a curiosity in a carefully wrapped sleek and attention drawing enigma. She spoke a bit like Mr. Spock, which only begged the question of feelings and if said things existed did she truly value friends and such. In short, new life always offered new questions and she loved to know all the secrets. She moved in a tight circle, clearly chomping at the bit to go, but ever loyal and ever helpful she waited for the amazingly dashing Thor Girl who probably was good at all the sports, no really..all of them.

♦ Before they left, Glitter took issue with her assessment of her grandfather's villainy and how it might relate to Magneto. I SEE, YOUR CONCERN IN THAT ASSESSMENT IS RELATED TO THE CONTEST. MY ASSESSMENT WAS MORE ONE OF PHILOSOPHY. . . . As a machine, Vision Girl had no experience comparable to what Thor Girl was currently experiencing. While she too before this day had never experienced what looked to be allergies, Vision Girl didn't really have nasal cavities to irritate in the same way. It was possible that some sort of computer virus may cause strange reactions with any number of her systems and subroutines crashing in interesting ways, but it was unlikely any of it would resemble a sneezing fit. Suddenly lightning flashed and thunder crashed. Whatever personal issues Thor Girl might have with this new experience, it quickly was becoming one that was potentially dangerous for her teammates. Vision Girl shifted and scattered her molecules, becoming intangible just in case the natural disaster unwittingly called forth by the alien goddess got anywhere near her. Ziggy tried to form a plan of attack, so to speak. IF WE SPLIT AS WAS SUGGESTED BY SCARLET SPIDER, IT WOULD BE BENEFITIAL TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. PIXIE AND I CAN LOOK FOR ONE OF THE DEFENDERS, AS I HAVE THEIR KNOWN MEMBERS ON A DATABASE; ZIGGY AND SCARLET SPIDER CAN LOOK FOR SPIDER-MAN; GLITTER AND THOR GIRL CAN LOOK FOR ONE OF CAPTAIN AMERICA/BLACK WIDOW/THUNDERBOLT.

TEMP "AAAACHUUUUUUUU!"
KERRRRRRRRRRRRRASSSSH!"AAAACHUUUUUUUU!"
KERRRRRRRRRRRRRASSSSH!
This foul sorcery would not end! Her nose felt like it was on fire and lightning crashed as her body shook.
One of the friendly X-men mentioned antihisitasomething. It came with some water and both were brought over by magic.
She took them both in the few moments between sneezes. In time it seemed to have blocked the sorcery, for now.
"Apologizes, friends, whatever wickedness this was only befell me. It is fortunate that in this state, none of my lightning seems to have harmed any of you. If it had, surely thou wouldst have fallen, and I would have done so to an ally! I am sorry."
She had been excited for this journey into new realms, but now if she had been hit by some hex before she could even strike its source with her hammer, she wondered how she could even begin to show strength.

Patrick frowned when Glitter tried to reason that her picture of him should stand since he was the Scarlet Spider and a man, but she was willing to let the teachers make the decision. He never went by the name of Spider Man, so in his own mind it shouldn't count. With the way she wanted to cut corners, he just hoped that she didn't take a step that would compromise their tasks and leave them short of their goal.
Ziggy had looked at him to ask where they might be able to find a Spider Man. He looked in her direction and shared, "Probably somewhere around lower or midtown Manhattan where they have a lot of tall buildings to web swing from. Upper Manhattan and some of the other boroughs aren't packed as densely with skyscrapers." It was only logical since web swinging was much harder to almost impossible if the buildings were low.
Midtown to lower Manhattan was still a pretty big area, but it still gave them the greatest chance. But, while he could web swing while the Iron Spider armor was activated, that left one more question. "Do you have the ability to fly?" If Ziggy couldn't fly, they'd have to hold onto him while he swung around.
Vision Girl seemed to agree to him and Ziggy going after a Spider Man picture, and thankfully Thor Girl's sneezing had subsided. Hopefully that meant that they wouldn't draw as much attention to themselves. The last thing that they needed was to screw up the natural progress of events and history on another Earth.

With Beast apparently still thinking about her interpretation of the wording of the task, Marie concluded that they'd probably be best off trying to get one less controversial as well, just in case. Though she still didn't see what grounds there could be for the one she had not counting, even if they'd not intended that. Creative thinking was one of the classes at the institute, after all. Though it was meant to be taught by Mr Lebeau-Gambit, who was still caught up in that big thing that nobody seemed to want to talk about. Yay for even the most innocent of trains of thoughts leading back to all the depressing stuff going on!
Still, she wasn't going to let her own low mood be everyone else's problem. They had a task and she would do her best, for their sakes even if she would rather find somewhere to mope quietly on her own for a while. Marie had been listening to everyone saying a multitude of things, the back and forth of ideas proving somewhat chaotic in places - not least because it seemed like people were more focused on speaking than on listening. But she had a few things she could contribute at least. A moment's concentration and a shimmer of sparkling energy and she was holding an ordinary tourist map of Manhattan, which she turned round to show the others.
"This is for our universe, but the Avengers mansion and Baxter Building are not all that far apart back home. And there's an open air stage in Central Park where one of us could perform something to anyone nearby. Ziggy suggested me and Thor Girl take Avengers mansion, it makes sense we move on to others afterwards. But we'd all need to keep our eyes open for an Italian restaurant, and maybe ask some locals about Magneto, and any other villains you can think of who might be not evil here. And maybe the photo of three reflected in not a mirror could be a shop window? Or... shiny metal? no... um..." She trailed off again, having lost confidence in her speaking and was ready to resume just following along with the group's decisions. She did, however, pass her notepad full of what she'd written down during the briefing over to Pixie when she asked about what she'd missed. Hopefully it would clear up whatever she was wondering about.

Ziggy nodded, she couldn't believe people were actually accepting her ideas! It was a great big boost to her confidence but there was that nagging feeling that there was only a limited amount of time before they would turn and bite her. She nodded as she searched for some data. Then spider person asked her about flying and she looked nervous.
"I can kinda fly, iiiiif crashing into trees or people is classed as flying? You can web sling though can't you? Also don't you need buildings to sling between? We need to be on foot to start with. Then you can give me a lesson in web slinging... that is if you wouldn't mind me seeing your web shooter? please?"
Then she looked towards the group.
"So we all have our targets, should we get moving and meet at the south east corner of Central park say in an hour but not doing anything for two?"
Finally she looked down at the small device and pointed in the direction where NYC would be.
"City that way. Mansion that way. We should only be a little way from a road.. in that direction."
She pointed in each direction.

"Sealing spell and rudimentary magic skills. don't let me down!"
Pixie hovered, listened all while keeping a very careful eye on Thor-Sneezy Lighting-Girl. She nodded in agreement to the plan and pivoted to face where the mansion would be. “DO be ever so careful guys, this cannot be so simple and cut and dried as it seems.” Nothing ever was in her experience; would she meet herself? Would they get on well? Would she Meet Illyana, would she be less cruel and soul eaty? She doubted the later, sometimes there were constants, and that wickedness ran deep despite her heartfelt desire to see it very different.
“Keep coms and tabs on each other,” she offered and would set out with her team, to see this matter done and done well to honor her team. She was curious however of the Avenger kids, they were ever so exotic is she were truthful. Robot girls and God girls, it was all very kitsch and cool.

♦ The sextet became a trio as they paired off to each look for a different part of their scavenger hunt on Earth-941, a world where the X-men and Avengers were the same team. She went with Pixie, Ziggy went with Scarlet Spider, and Glitter went with Thor Girl.
The robot and Pixie were after one of the Defenders. Pixie mentioned the differences, or at least possible differences between worlds. On their world, there was a definitive list of who was and who wasn't a Defender. She should know, it was in her database.
AGREED. ON OUR WORLD, THE DEFENDERS USUALLY INCLUDE DOCTOR STRANGE AND HULK. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS WORLD'S VERSION MAY INCLUDE THE LIKES OF DAREDEVIL. FROM WHAT I HAVE LOOKED AT, MOST EARTHS TEND TO BE 'FOR WANT OF A NAIL SITUATION'. THERE USUALLY AREN'T A LOT OF DEVIATIONS BEYOND THE MERGING OF THE AVENGERS AND THE X-MEN, BUT IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE.

NAY! Thor Girl could feel bad about potentially hurting her friends and allies but she could not fall into self-pity! She would be strong! She would have to be. Glitter was certainly prepared. She listed all the different things they could get just from this world. This got Thor Girl in better spirits. Tarene grabbed her hammer and prepared to win this hunt.
"VERILY! We shall find an Italian restaurant covered in metal and Magnetos! Come and let us journey, Glitter!", she declared vigorously.
They were getting to know each other's powers. "Indeed! I also should know if thou art able to fly with thine own power or with a hammer as I can or perhaps a winged steed!"
"If not, do not fear, I can throw my hammer skillfully and send us soaring through the clouds if thou doest not object to the sound of thunder in thine ears!"

I don't really know why I can't let it go, Why I can't let it go sometimes Caught up in this spider web
With a mental command, Patrick activated the Iron Spider armor which appeared around him. His identity was public, so he didn't have to hide who he was from others although sometimes it did make it hard when it came to keeping anonymity. Still, he wouldn't trade it in the world, especially when it came to being able to make a difference and help others. It was something that he embraced, ever since that fateful experience in Germany.
Ziggy had asked if he could web swing and if he needed buildings for that. "Normally, yeah, we would need buildings, but this armor was built with repulsor boots so it allows me to fly like Iron Man. I kind of prefer web swinging myself, but I can use the boots when I need to. But I'd be more than happy to give you a lesson once we're among taller buildings," he mentioned with a bit of a grin from under his mask.
He paused and noted that the others were already discussing about heading out and proceeding so they can find what they needed to and take the necessary photos. Turning again to Ziggy, he suggested, "If you want to hop on my back, I can fly us over to where most of the skyscrapers are and we can start searching for this world's Spider Man."

It was a little muddled what they were all doing, but everyone seemed confident enough with the splitting up and hoping to find a few of their targets at home, so to speak. She felt fairly confident at least some of them wouldn't be successful, but they only needed one or two at a time, and as they whittled down the list it would get easier. Plus they could all look out for other opportunities along the way. If she saw Magneto helping out at a traffic accident, for example... Well, first check he hadn't caused it, but if it seemed he was indeed heroic, then it'd be a prime opportunity.
With Thor Girl asking if she could fly, Glitter nodded, her sparkly aura springing up around her as she floated up off the ground. "Only a few types of birds can go faster than me, though I don't know if Asgardian birds are any quicker than Earth ones. Around a hundred miles an hour?..."
That was probably no more helpful - if Tarene didn't know the first then she was relatively unlikely to know the latter either. Hopefully it'd be ok, though. With her map in hand, Glitter rose up high enough to work out roughly where they were, figure out a few of the differences, and make an educated guess as to the right way they needed to travel.
"Uhh... This way, I think?"

Listening to her partner she tried to assess what they needed to do. She grinned at the idea of trying to webswing. It was technology so hopefully she would be able to just figure it out.
"See you all soon."
Then got ready for the take off. Reaching into her pocket she took out a few items.
"I have been working on repulsor boots too but I'm still learning how to control them. Lots of landing in trees! A lesson would be great though. I can make them but it doesn't mean I can drive a car!"
She hopped on Patrick's back and used the items to make sure she wasn't going to fall. It was just a simple grip which she attached around Patrick.
"This will be sooo awesome!"
She was on the edge of asking a dozen questions. First though one last grip securing her in place like you would a baby to a mother's back.
"I'm secure. Don't worry it won't hinder you."
