At first Juli was a bit disappointed that Gwen just said she'd meet her there, but then she stopped her and begged her to not become a real evil villain. Juli started to get mad, like that's what everyone wants, she wanted to be feared! But then she really listened to what Gwen was saying, and her mind flashed to the times she'd seen rubble and people screaming and fleeing in panic over some villain just wanting to destroy cities for destruction's sake, and she got it. As much as she wanted attention and as much as she wanted to be talked about in the news, she had to admit that she wanted to be popular, not feared.
Taking a deep breath, she said "I get it, for sure and while I can't promise that I won't ever be tempted to go down that path, for now I just want to have some attention. Heck, I think that's the worst part of my power, at least the dream walking part. No one knows and I can't really visit the same person more than once in their dreams." Especially the person I really want to torment she thought, an image of her father flashing into her mind. Shaking her head, she said "Anyway, if you're willing to help me, I will take your advice and do my best to just be a flashy villain, one who seeks the spotlight. Okay?"

Alison was at the mall, signing autographs for fans and also doing a bit of shopping for herself. Her security detail was nearby but hopefully not intrusive, and she was looking for ideas for a new outfit, kind of a cross between her concert apparel and a bit more casual, something she could change into for tour bus wear or just giving an interview between concerts.
She saw Hot Topic and made a beeline for it, as she wanted something not super edgy but something expressive, so she slipped in and started browsing, but didn't get far before someone bumped into her. "Oof!" she lost her breath for a moment and put one hand on her stomach to catch her breath. After a couple of seconds, she'd recovered enough to look at the person who'd bumped into her and had to smile as she saw the sparkle in her eyes that usually meant this person was a fan. She asked "Are you okay?", smiling again as the young lady apologized. "It's okay, just knocked the wind out of me a bit."
"Is it a good day to shop?" she asked, "are there any good deals?" She didn't turn back to browsing yet, but she did still want to find that outfit, so she tucked it in the back of her mind for right now.

Juli laughed as Gwen rather frantically asked if people still liked hanging out at the mall, but answered "I do! I think it's dropped off a bit but I like it cause it's quiet and I can usually get food at the food court. Do you want to go now? Part of her was still surprised that someone wanted to help her, but then the Collector, at least at first, had wanted to help her.
She nodded as Gwen mentioned getting her art supplies, asking "Do we need to stop by your place then, on our way to the mall?" She was getting excited, Gwen's enthusiasm was catchy! She laughed again before saying "Whatever you want to do is fine, I'm just glad someone wants to help!" She was still concerned about the Collector, hopefully he wouldn't be upset about her joining forces with someone else, but on the other hand, who just up and ditches their associate like that? "Oh, do I need to grab something to make notes with myself?" she asked, thinking she could run into a Walgreens or something and get a notebook.

Alison smiled as Angelica ordered then she simply sat, looking around the crowded dance floor and enjoying being in the moment. She noticed her friend doing the same thing, so didn't speak for a while, though her foot was tapping and she was really wanting to get up and dance. But with that ran the risk of getting recognized, which in itself wasn't bad, but she did want to spend some quality time with Angelica.
When her friend turned to her, asking where she'd heard of this club, Alison smiled and admitted "I filmed one of my music videos here, the owners are so nice and worked with me and my team!" She giggled a bit as she said "I remember one of the camera operators kept flirting with me, it made the shoot a lot more fun!" Turning to face Angelica, she asked "Have you seen Vance lately?", she was curious as her friend had been dating but she knew they had broken up. She was curious about her friend's plans now but also just wanted to support her friend.

Ireland was curious as Miss Arrow asked if she was interested in the multiverse and she almost said yes, but something stopped her, maybe her intuition. Her customer had mentioned something about spiders, and though Ireland knew most of them meant no harm to humans, she had a phobia about them, where she didn't even like looking at pictures of them or dealing with them when they got into her house.
Now it was helpful information what Miss Arrow had given her, and she would most likely do some research later as she did believe in a higher power, though just what that was she wasn't sure yet. But if this lady in her shop was associated with spiders, it probably was for the best that she didn't work with her, at least not jumping in without looking. To that end, she said "I appreciate the offer, but right now I just don't have the time. The multiverse sounds interesting though, maybe in the future I'll be ready to take on something of that magnitude." Pausing just a second, she then said "But I do appreciate what you said, it's good to know that I'm on the right track. I'm really the only one in my family that works with magic, so hearing that makes my day."

Mercury had taken a leave of absence from Xavier's school, nothing really big was happening at the moment and to be honest, she was bored. While she was outside she'd heard rumors of vampires living in Toronto and attacking people, so she'd wondered if Jubilee's vampire friend had moved up there. Being curious and also confident that she couldn't be turned due to her metallic skin, she took the money she'd been saving from the allowance that her parents had been sending her and bought a ticket for a train ride up there, where she found a hostel of sorts to live in.
Tonight she was wandering the streets, looking for people to help and also keeping an eye out for vampires, when she saw a very bright light and dashed toward it, unsure what it was but having heard sounds of distress she figured that was where she needed to be. Once she saw the trio of women, she paused with a soft "whoa" and ducked behind a tree, not sure if these guys were good or not so good, so she attempted to listen in.

Juli listened as Gwenpool told her what she was doing wrong, but she also let her know what she could do to fix it, which made Juli feel better. She didn't have anything to write on but she figured she could remember enough to take notes once she got home. In the meantime, she took a deep breath, exhaled, and then said "Thank you for believing in me! Yeah, I probably should've waited before attempting to start my villainous career, but I used to have a mentor but he just disappeared on me." She was frustrated and yet, maybe she could relaunch her evil schemes.
She also confessed "I don't really know what my goals are, I mean every villain seems to want to rule the world" but was intrigued by Gwenpool asking her what her villain outfit would be like. "Well, in dreams I usually either morph into whatever is needed, like there was one where I was a scientist's assistant, but I kind of like looking like Death, like in a long robe with a hood and fancy it up." she admitted, "also maybe something royal looking, like a tiara on my head. Do you really think you can help?"

Mockingbird was going to speak up as soon as Kestrel raised her question, but both Agent Green and Jarvis spoke up, one of them indicating there was an agent/asset in the region, before sending files to her. Upon opening them, she was surprised but also pleased, but didn't say anything at the moment as Jarvis continued to explain some of the difficulties they might encounter. Taking careful mental notes, once she was free to respond she said "Yes Kestrel, I don't believe you've been introduced to Agent Green's team, and also you will pair up with me. We will need to be careful but I truly believe we will be in and out of there before they can raise their defenses!"
Bobbi knew she was risking things going south by her positive talk, after all, no one really knows what would happen and it always seems to have some form of trap or unexpected snag, but she was confident in her team and said "If anyone has any further questions, let me know but I think we should get on the plane. It'll take us a while to get to where we need to be, and we also need to be cloaked so the enemy doesn't see us approaching." She was already figuring out how to approach their asset if needed and whether to do so before they approached the AIM base, so she simply motioned toward the waiting jet, staying behind in case anyone wanted to approach her in confidence.

Juli heard the sirens and stayed hidden, eyeing the door of this little New Age shop in case she needed to disappear, but then just a few minutes later the cops left. That's weird she thought to herself, giving herself a couple more minutes to make sure the coast was clear. Just as she was about to leave the alley, this gal in a costume popped up in front of her and proceeded to exclaim how cool it was that she was trying to be a villain.
"What, wait a minute? You're not going to take me in to get arrested?" she managed to ask before her jaw literally dropped, this person wanted to help her? Holding up a hand, she then took Gwenpool's hand after she offered it. "My name is Daydreamer" she said, "and yeah, I want to be a villain but this is my first time on my own and I don't know what I'm doing!" Stopping to take a breath as she could feel herself starting to get upset, she asked "You would be willing to help me?" She felt pitiful, but maybe every villain started out this way?

Juli was pleased as the teller seemed shaken, but she then realized she'd made an error as someone came up to her, asking if it was her first time. Surprised, she spun around and yelped, covering her still blurred face with her hand, however her "backup" dissolved away. The teller, seeing the sudden lack of other people, hit the silent alarm and ran into the back area reserved for tellers. This caused Juli to curse, unsure of what to do next, as she certainly did not want to get arrested!
"Curse you!" she exclaimed to the meddling person before running outside and looking around. Hearing sirens going off, she slipped the gun into her pocket before walking into the alleyway two streets down. There were side entrances to shops and if needed, she could slide into one and just act like she was shopping, totally normal behavior! She wanted to hit herself though, how stupid was she to not check if other people were in the bank? "Collector, I could really use your help right now!" she whispered, hoping that no one tried to follow her.

Juli was majorly discouraged, she'd thought she had it made, what with working for the Collector but he had just vanished out of nowhere! What was she supposed to do now? After thinking about it for a while, she had come to the conclusion that maybe it was time to strike out on her own, be a proper villain in her own right, so she had come up with a plan; she was going to rob a bank. But not a big one, she was going to start small and then if that worked she would hit a larger bank.
Just a few days later she found herself dressed a bit more causal than usual, her hair tied back with a simple black hair tie, as she walked into a bank and conjured behind her what looked like five big, burly men. She also had purchased a small handgun and took classes, claiming a need for self defense, and she showed said gun to the cashier, also using her conjuring ability to blur her face so she couldn't be identified. "Give me the money in your drawer" she said quietly, hoping this would go smoothly.

Erika smiled as Gwen admitted she wasn't so much super powered as super gadgeted, but was pleased as she wrote down her number on a napkin before saying if she needed her for anything to let her know. Quickly grabbing another napkin, she wrote down her own number and passed it to Gwen, before replying "Of course! It's good to know more people in the business, so to speak."
Once Gwen left, Erika hopped onto the dance floor for one song before quickly walking the short distance to her house, where she washed her face, scrubbed off all the makeup, brushed her hair then hopped in bed. She stared at the ceiling, happy that she'd made her first superhero contact, and smiled as she let herself imagine the adventures to come, hopefully with Gwen at some point. Maybe the two of them could take down some big villain or massive threat together, that could be fun!

Drew smiled as the Baroness leaned in to watch, then she confessed that she would not be using the computer most of the time, but that she would indeed give it a try. Drew smiled, showing his fangs for the first time in a long while, then he saw the others all creeping forward. He then realized that she had called him so that her minions would be able to be online, and that made him happy.
What made him even happier was what the Baroness wrote, basically making it official that he was her ally and under her protection, it still felt weird but he figured he'd get used to it in time. Looking at her, he bowed again before nodding in agreement. "Thank you" was all he said at the moment, though he quickly followed it up with "Don't worry about disturbing me, email me any time you need help, though of course I will only be able to answer at night. But I do look forward to helping as well as not being alone anymore." Then he asked "Is that all you need of me tonight? If so, I'lll let you guys get used to the computer and head home before the sun comes up." He then ran a hand through his hair and shuffled a bit, waiting to see if there was anything else.

Ireland grew curious as her customer talked about Ms. Paltrow, especially when she said that her and her sister had created the fuel that was called GOOP. She let Miss Arrow rant, though she quietly filed away the comment of "a spider's ramblings", while planning on researching a bit later. When Miss Arrow asked her for a tour, she eagerly said "Of course, I'd love to show you around!" as she carefully led the way around the inside of her shop. "I'm very proud of this place and myself for building it" she started to explain before pausing.
"I've kind of got it sorted by items, crystals and jewelry are here, candles and potion ingredients are over here" she continued, feeling a bit weird for just wanting to come out and tell her life story to someone she just met, but if this person was powerful as implied, then maybe she should? Sticking that thought in the back of her mind, she showed off her small book section before rounding the corner. "And this is my office!" she stated, "it's simple but cozy. I love sitting in here working on paperwork while drinking tea, feels like my own personal safe space." Blushing at having revealed a little bit, she then asked "Is there anything in particular that you would like to see? Maybe something other shops don't have, or maybe more food items?"
