"It'll take me a bit, but should be done around the time Wiccan's back. Can I have something with the code and just that on it, like a flash drive? That's the easiest."

Permalink

"I don't have a flash drive but if you do I can probably hook into it?"

Permalink

"Yeah." She pulls one out. "Should be clear of stuff, and should have enough storage even for something ridiculous."

Permalink

Lorica pokes some loose wires from her hijacked doombot into the drive and hands it back a minute later.

And Loki clears some space for herself, warns the others not to disturb her, and starts chanting. A circle, glowing a dark, bloody red, appears around her, with runes and odd patterns inscribed within.

She frowns, eyebrows pinching together, then scowls, never letting up her even chant -

And then the light flares and then the circle fades entirely.

"Done. Doom had any magical protections, better than most I see on this planet, but they're still pretty amateur. Slipped around them, then tricked the alarms he'd set up into thinking I wasn't there."

"...virus isn't designed to cope with magic because I know jack about magic, will it encounter normal software obstacles from there?"

Permalink

"It should unless Doom notices it - the protections were just to keep someone like me from getting in the way I did. Magical firewall, pretty much, but normal antivirus."

Permalink

"Okay, cool, should be all good."

Permalink

And then Wiccan returns.

"Magneto's getting to work. No one noticed him while I was there. Hopefully that should hold - are we otherwise ready to go?"

Permalink

"I am. Unless we were planning to stop for breakfast or something."

Permalink

"I vote granola bars while we wait for Magneto's confirmation. Dropping in on active Doom bots sounds like something I'd rather not be hungry for."

Permalink

"I'd take a granola bar."

Permalink

"We've got a stash. Chocolate chip, apple granola, peanut butter, Phosphor's weird cranberry bars... Wiccan can technically make things like that too but it always tastes funny."

Permalink

"Can I have a peanut butter?"

Permalink

"Sure. Let me know if you want more, or if you want water or a sports drink or something." She tosses one over, gets one out for herself, then goes to make sure Jet's actually eating.

Permalink

Lorica's helmet opens just a little so she can eat. "I'd take a water too, and one of the apple ones if we're not short on bars."

Permalink

"We're not expecting this to run that long, so we've effectively got plenty." She loops back around to pass over a bottled water and an apple bar. "And if it does run long we'll find somewhere with a grocery store to lay low while we're figuring out what next."

Permalink

"Do you have money?" Munch munch.

Permalink

"Stash of US dollars, smaller stash in some assorted other types, plus favors - decent chance we'd lay low in the country Magneto's from, especially since the Avengers are less likely to come knocking there. Jet and Wiccan might get squirrely over that, but, eh, I don't care."

Permalink

"Squirrely because..."

Permalink

"He's the Scarlet Witch's dad, who's arguably their mom, at least in a roundabout way. Magneto said as far as he's concerned they're his grandkids, so he'll help them out and stuff, but they're both super weird about family."

Permalink

"Supers have a bizarre amount of family drama."

Permalink

"Do you not so much with the secret identities?"

Permalink

" - Rephrase that?"
