Mettle was nervous as he paced in front of the building he had learned to call home. His friend Mercury was coming over to visit and he was weirdly nervous about it, not for any romantic reasons but if Mettle had to guess it was probably because he hadn't had any friends come over since his arrival. He shrugged, thinking that made sense as really no one from home had visited and the other people he knew were the other teenagers who lived and trained there.
He ran one hand over his head when he saw her, riding a bike that seemed worse for wear but hopefully still got the job done, and he waved to her, causing her to smile as she came to a stop. "Hey, sorry I'm late" she said as she gave her friend a hug. "School ran late, I brought snacks though" she said, hoisting up her black denim backpack. "Dude, snacks are awesome!" Mettle agreed as he held the door open for her and followed her in. "Come on this way, my room's at the end" he invited, waiting for her to catch up before leading the way. "How was school?" he asked, leading to a sigh from Mercury. "It was fine, combat training is more fun. That's tomorrow." she replied, stepping inside Mettle's room. "Not bad, dude, cool posters." She did grin as she saw a Dazzler poster and pointed it out. "She teaches music at our school, even played for one of our prom/homecoming things." Mettle gaped a little and said "Really? Do you think I could get her autograph sometime?"
Mercury dumped out all the sweet snacks she'd bought and picked out a caramel chocolate bar. "Sure, you'd have to come to the school though. Oh, maybe you guys could do a field trip?" she suggested, "do you think the adults here would be okay with that?" Mettle paused for a moment as he picked out a bar with coconut in it and then nodded. "I don't see why not, I'll ask them later. Besides, we teen groups need to at least know each other, what if we end up battling the same enemies?" Mercury laughed and said "That would be cool! I've fought Doc Octavius before and tried to fight Doom with a friend, that last one didn't go so well." Mettle blinked and said "Wow! I'm jealous, wish I'd been there! I haven't gotten to fight anyone other than the simulations in training." Mercury smiled back and said "I would like to compare our trainings, see how realistic yours is. Maybe another day though, today's about relaxing."
The two of them finished their candy and Mercury offered to give Mettle half of her stash. "I bet the other teenagers here would like some of these, you could hand them out" she said, to which Mettle agreed. "Thanks" he said and then they got to talking about music and bands they both liked. After a while, Mercury hopped up and said "I gotta get back, curfew hits early during the week. I had fun hanging out." "Me too" Mettle said, walking her out and watching to make sure she got on her bike okay. After she rode out of sight, he walked back into the building and went to find his other team mates, to tell them about the snacks.

One thing that Alison liked about Angelica was that she was a very good listener, so she smiled at the chance to hear how her friend was doing. She nodded as Angelica mentioned graduating and helping with classes at a school, she knew it wasn't the same school she taught at, but she wondered if it was at the school that Mercury had told her about, or at least had mentioned the friend she'd made who said he went there. "That's really cool, I bet you've met a lot of interesting people there" she said, the question in her voice even if she couldn't come right out and ask if they had powers.
Suddenly they moved again, much closer to the bouncer, and Dazzler could overhear him talking to someone inside. She smiled and quietly said to Angelica "I was right, they are letting small groups in at a time. We should be part of the next group." She then heard her friend's question and nodded. "I'm doing pretty well" she said, "the new album is coming along smoothly. Hoping for a May release date, and then I should get busy again. Can't wait to tour again, though I'm always glad to get home afterwards!" she admitted with a smile. Then she got an idea. "Why don't you come with me for part of the tour? Now I'm not sure where all we're going yet, but is there anywhere you've always wanted to travel to?" That would be fun to have a friend along, they could go explore, especially when the band just wanted to chill in the hotel room.

Bobbi jumped up as the king declared he knew she was an Eternal and that made sense as Sersi had given her an Eternals based protection power for her suit. "We're not afraid of you" was all she said as she pulled her staff out of its hiding place and got into a battle ready stance. Thankfully Sersi burst through the door and came to stand next to her, asking if she was okay. "Yes, but I'm glad you're here" she admitted before listening to what she told the king. It was interesting to find out that this king was a Deviant and she asked "Are you trying to turn these people into beings like yourself? Why?"
Bobbi was curious about the motives behind what the Deviants were up to, even with Sersi's explanation. Besides, it did help to get the villains' point of view, maybe they could find a compromise, though it seemed like the rivalry between them and the Eternals had been going on for a really long time. She also could sense the sisters surrounding the two of them, and she prepared to fight. They had to get to Ava, who hopefully would provide some cover soon and cut the power to this base, she also wasn't sure if the sisters had powers or even how strong they were, she didn't want to hurt them but the Deviants also couldn't be allowed to continue to gain power and control.

Bobbi, or Ella rather, listened in her mind as Ava said she was ready, then she suddenly stopped. Ella kept going, though she was worried about her friend, but maybe Sersi would run and help Ava. She listened to what the priestess was saying, and still acted nervous, biting her lower lip. She was sure that nothing would happen, if she needed to fight her way out then she would, gladly, and she would have Sersi by her side in just a bit. She also was relieved when Ava spoke up, letting Sersi know that she was ready.
She was led into a huge room and looked around, drinking in all she could, but especially curious about the person sitting on a throne. She followed the priestess's lead and knelt, her head lowered, while she thought Sersi, someone's sitting on a throne in here. There's planning on doing something to Ella, but I don't know what. She simply waited to hear what would happen next and determine if she needed to fight her way out. She wasn't going to let them change her, that's for sure!

Bobbi smiled as Ava mentioned what kind of generator she was looking at, especially when she said that she could kill the power, still listening as Sersi confirmed that she should do that. She was happy as Sersi sent an image of the base to her and she assumed to Ava as well, but then she was pulled back into her cover by two high priestesses, which she assumed were Deviants due to how vile they seemed to find the Eternals.
She bowed to both of them, saying "Very nice to meet you both!" and then simply saying "Please, lead the way." She was nervous about whatever these two had in store, especially when Sersi let them know that two of the Deviants were near her, but she thought back "I am heading toward the mission room, there are two high priestesses with me so we need to be careful. Also, they may be planning on testing Ella once we get there." She began to act nervous and excited, peering at the other women with her. "Can you tell me what awaits me? Will it hurt?" She ducked her head, acting ashamed. "I am sorry, just nervous." she said quietly, hoping that Ava could indeed shut down the power.

Bobbi, or Ella as was her cover, smiled at the young man who informed her of where she needed to be. "Thanks, I just got back so it had slipped my mind" she said, turning back as she passed him. "Everyone else there?" she asked, hoping to get names but she was also worried since she wasn't sure where this meeting room was. She couldn't ask, obviously, without blowing her cover, though as Sersi had informed her, she wasn't high up, so maybe she could use that to her advantage. Still, better to ask some random person in the hallways, especially since this guy seemed to be suspicious of her anyway.
She also found it curious that everyone called each other Brother and Sister, it implied that they all were very close. She also heard Sersi say that things might be worse than she thought, and she paused to mentally reply What did you find?, not wanting to think anything else until she was out of the room.

Bobbi nodded and added a quick "thank you" to Ava's, looking at Ava as she showed her ammo. Quickly but gently laying her hand on Ava's arm, she said "You'll do great", wanting to reassure her friend before Sersi cast an illusion to change their appearance. She quickly landed the craft while Ava went to get a better look and after receiving instructions, they exited the craft and followed Sersi up to a door, with Bobbi falling into a well known role; pretending to be someone else. She smiled slightly at the woman who answered the door and then asked Sersi in her mind Anything I should know about Ella?, realizing this was going to be interesting since usually she had a bit more information about the role she would be going undercover as.
They split up, with Bobbi just wandering about as if she was looking at everything, wondering what Oceanus was like and why these people wanted to go there. She ended up finding some written notes and bent to read them, disappointed as it didn't mention anything about the Deviant that was in their mix but it was interesting as it was the thoughts of one of the scientists who was traveling with them. As someone entered the room she stood up, looking for something for her hands to do.

Juli closed and locked the door of her shop, emitting a soft sigh as she turned to clean up. She'd had a big sale on buy one get one sets of makeup and so many people had come in, she thought she was going to run out of products for a bit. But everything had gone well, so why was she still feeling sad? She had pretty much everything she wanted, minus dating someone seriously, but that was more her choice. She'd said that she wanted to work on her career but she still went on dates sometimes, so why wasn't she satisfied?
She thought to herself as she cleaned, eventually coming to the idea that she wasn't using her powers. Yeah, her father had "given" these powers to her but she didn't want to use them for his purposes, as a spy for him and the company he worked for. Still, she hadn't really used her powers in public since she'd met with that little alien prince who'd been so rude to her, and she hadn't gone to the school he went to in order to complain about him either. But what could she do? She was really too old at this point to go back to school and she doubted they would just let her teach some kids, not that she really wanted to do that either. She just wanted to either join a group on the side or maybe become like a vigilante, though according to the news, they were pretty much outlawed unless you had the government's approval.
She still had Mockingbird's card but she didn't want to fight for SHIELD either, she had enough of being under someone else's control, but what else was there? She finished cleaning and headed out the back door, locking that securely behind her before conjuring a big burly guy to walk with her out into the main part of the street. Once she had called for a taxi and it had arrived, she snapped her fingers and caused her work to evaporate, proud of the control she'd gained. I mean, she still visited others' dreams and practiced conjuring different things, just in the privacy of her own home. She slid into the cab and gave directions to her apartment, wishing that Dracula would come visit her again, though she still didn't want to be turned.
Within a few minutes, she was home with a frozen pizza in the oven and she slipped into her comfortable sweats. She turned on the news as she got her food ready and found herself drawn to a story about some powered villains that had decided to cause some chaos. She couldn't help but wonder what their lives were like, did they ever get bored with what they'd decided to do? Honestly, it looked like they had fun and they certainly didn't have to follow any rules! Juli laughed a little, wondering just how one would sign up for some sort of villain group, and ate her pizza while she scrolled through Twitter. She typed out a quick tweet about how villains seemed to have so much fun, then quickly forgot about it as her favorite show came on, simply relaxing and forgetting about her problems for the day.

Bobbi noticed the frown on Ava's face and wanted to talk to her, but Sersi admitted that they were intending on killing the Deviants. Unfortunately that seemed like the most logical option, especially since they didn't seem to even try to obey human laws. Ava then mentioned her powers and Bobbi nodded, of course electricity wouldn't work well underwater! But it seemed that Sersi had something to help with that as well and Bobbi was relieved, though still a bit jealous. Still, she settled back once Sersi said they were five minutes out, though she asked "What is our first step once we arrive? Will we have someone to meet who will give us information?"
Leaning back, she smiled at Ava and said "Those gloves are cool!" as she admired the symbols that shone out when she turned her hands and arms. She was very excited to test out this new armor, and even though she was a bit nervous, it was really only because she hadn't had much chance to prep and learn the enemies' moves. She was sure they would do fine though.

Mettle was standing in the far back of Central Park, where a concert was going on. It wasn't anybody famous, just a couple of groups of local bands but the city had sponsored this so a decent crowd had shown up. Mettle was wearing his long trench coat but he also had a pair of slacks and a long sleeved shirt on, so most of his metal self was hidden from view and he wore the hat he'd found the first time he went exploring, it was kind of his hat now.
Anyway, he was nodding along to the beat when he noticed a small(to him) red haired girl break through the crowd and run into the more dense part of the park. Concerned, he followed her, calling out "Are you okay?" when he got close enough. He heard a surprised gasp and what sounded like someone trying to stop crying and he paused, feeling awkward. "Sorry, I just saw you run out and wanted to make sure no one was bothering you" he stuttered out, shaking his head. Like what would he do if she said someone was, find them and stomp them?
After a couple of minutes, the girl stepped forward and raked her hand over her eyes before saying "Sorry. No one's bothering me, I just...that last song reminded me of something I'm going through and I got emotional." Mercury wrapped her arms around herself, shivering a little and Mettle knew what he had to do. He took off his coat and put it around her, smiling a bit as he said "It's chilly out tonight. My name's Mettle, by the way." Mercury smiled a bit and said "I'm Mercury, and thank you!" She then noticed a glint of metal and said "You're like me, sort of!" before showing her own grayish skin. "I can morph into things" she explained, causing Mettle to grin as he could explain his gimmick.
"I'm super strong and tough" he said shyly, pulling up his sleeve so Mercury could see the metal that covered his body. "Cool!" Mercury exclaimed, still sad but happy she'd run into a fellow powered person while she sat on a bench that was nearby. Mettle just stood, a bit scared to try to sit on what seemed to be mostly a wooden bench, but he rubbed his head and asked "Do you have anyone who came with you?" Mercury shook her head and said "I came by myself, didn't know they'd be playing that song." Just then the music changed and she breathed a sigh of relief, which made Mettle feel better. "Yeah, I mean I get the artist wanted to be angsty but if you don't want to be reminded of something..." and then he trailed off.
"Anyway, want me to walk you home?" he asked, wondering if she lived nearby but she shook her head. "I go to the Jean Grey school and I've got friends picking me up" she explained, looking up at the tall young man. "But thanks for talking with me, it helped." Mettle grinned and said "No problem, Mercury! Glad I could help." Mercury blushed then quickly asked "Do you have a phone?", asking for it once Mettle nodded. She whistled cause it was a bit larger than a normal cell phone, but added her number to his contacts and handed it back before jumping up from the bench. "Thanks again!" she hollered before dashing off toward the parking lot.
Mettle chuckled as he realized a girl had just given him her number but he just tucked his phone back in his pocket and slowly started walking home, a smile on his face.

Dazzler turned back, ready to pass by the helicopter again, but thankfully the spotlight was trying to find her. She was still trying to keep the light off of her friends but she did see the truck careen and flip over. "Oh no!" she yelled, hoping that Wolfsbane's friend was okay and she began running back that way, only to see Pixie head inside. Breathing a sigh of relief, she then turned her attention back to the helicopters, as they were already beginning to track back to the truck.
Waving her arms, she amplified her voice and said "Over here!", gaining the attention of the pilot and she shot into the air again, swerving to the right and away from the truck. Keeping her sound at a safe level, she yelled "Hey guys!", shooting off a bit of energy as she landed on a nearby hill, ready to crouch down and hide if needed. She just needed to draw their attention away enough so Pixie and the others could rescue the person inside, then they could simply disappear and retreat back to the school.

Bobbi was quick to add praise once Ava mentioned she was just a cadet, "She's a good one, a very good fighter" she said with a beaming smile, then falling silent as once more Sersi brought up a visual of what happened millions of years ago. She watched in awe as the battle between the Eternals and Deviants waged, grinning as Atlantis was mentioned. She knew in some parts of the world it was still a myth, but it was really nice to see that it was real, it truly existed. She also smiled when Ava brought up Romanov, though she didn't say anything.
She shook her head as Sersi asked if there were any more questions, to be honest her head was swimming a bit. It was one thing to grow up believing in science but it was another to be told that people with super powers were given those powers by Eternals, now there was one question she had but she didn't want to sound ungrateful. She on and off had wished she had powers of her own, even though she'd proven herself countless times that she could handle the toughest bad guys out there. Anyway, she wonder out loud "Yeah, what Ava said. Should we kill the Deviants, or is this more of a information finding mission?"

Bobbi's team had to pause as there were two Kree soldiers standing guard just outside of the room they were hiding in, but they found out some very interesting information. Bobbi made a shushing motion as she crept toward the door, while still standing in the dark so they wouldn't be spotted. What is this energy signature they're talking about she wondered as she worked through what needed to be done in order to move on to the next location. She didn't want to hurt the Kree or make too much noise, but they needed to plant the other bombs and get back to the ship, but how?
Slowly pulling her staff out, she slid up behind them in the dark and knocked them both on the head, one right after the other. Thankfully, that worked and they slumped down, where they were easily dragged into the room and propped up in a small closet that the others on her team had found. Taking their weapons, Bobbi distributed them before leading the way down the hallway and slipping into their next target room, where they planted another device. "Hopefully that gives the diplomatic team enough time" she whispered to the others before motioning back toward their ship. Their goal now was to get back safely and take off, where the bombs could be detonated from a safe distance.

Bobbi blushed a faint pink as Sersi complimented her and quietly said "Thank you" before turning to and smiling at Ava's reply. "Gotcha" was all she said, but she nodded in agreement as Simon accepted, then said they would be using the Quinjet for this mission. She followed the agent and Sersi, settling in before Ava rejoined them, ready to go. Simon then bid them farewell and left them alone with a mighty powerful being.
Just a few minutes later they were flying, with Sersi putting the jet on autopilot so they could talk, but first she put armor over Ava's Red Widow suit, then she thanked the two of them for helping her. Bobbi just let her talk, nodding along at parts she agreed with, until Sersi finished explaining, then she asked "So these Deviants have been around for centuries, just like the Eternals? Why are they here, basically?" She said this to understand more about the threat they might be going up against, and also just because she didn't know much about them or the Eternals.
She then smiled as Sersi asked them about being agents. "Well, it can be rough sometimes, we have to fight some really powered bad guys, but I do enjoy it. Not just because I get to help other people, but because SHIELD is very good at taking care of their agents." she stated, letting Ava talk before sitting back and letting the two of them talk about being a Widow, though she was curious how Ava would react to Sersi bringing up Romanov.
