Winter Maiden turned to face Farrah at the mention of food.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:aliceblue">"Sure... Count me in. As long as it isn't... <i>Cold cuts</i>."</span>She smirked as she said the last two words, proving that she could take a jab, even if it was self inflicted. She turned towards Manhattan as thunder rumbled.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:aliceblue">"As if they didn't have enough problems, y'know?"</span>She thumbed that direction.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:aliceblue">"How exactly are we supposed to get over there? Those of us who can fly? I guess I could fashion an ice bridge, but I don't know how long it would hold. Hopefully the ten or so minutes to cross the river."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:seagreen">"I'd rather none of you attempt to go to Manhattan. In fact, I recommend you don't."</span>Jean Grey had seemed to appear out of nowhere.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:seagreen">"It's mass pandemonium over there. Panic on a scale I've never seen. If you three aren't mobbed by people begging you to get them the hell off the island, they'll blame any one of you for their situation. That won't end well for you or them."</span>She suddenly winced as Charles called telepathically for her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:seagreen">"I felt that, Charles! It was Spiderman! He's hurt! Now, I <b>have</b> to talk to Medusa!"</span>Pointing with an accusing finger to the three females.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:seagreen">"I heard that. For your own safety, do NOT follow."</span><br/><br/>Winter looked the guiltiest at the accusation.<br/><br/>Medusa looked around the city as the police radio continued to crackle, informing the captain of what was going on.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:magenta">"Utter chaos. Who is this villain?"</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:dodgerblue">"I don't care what you have to do to do it... Just get everyone in riot gear you can... And maintain radio silence for a half-hour while I conduct some business with Bishop and Her Majesty. And find me Captain Stacy from the other precinct (someone play, please)!"</span>The captain barked in his radio. He pinched his nose as he addressed both ladies in front of him.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:dodgerblue">"He calls himself..."</span><br/><br/>Medusa said it first.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:magenta">"Obelisk. Jean just told me. I'm to meet her at the Statue of Liberty."</span>She sighed as the rain began.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:magenta">"Perfect. This better be important, telepath."</span>She took off for her meeting.<br/><br/>Kate folded her arms as she looked at the captain.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gainsboro">"How am I to conduct any kind of investigation with that going on?"</span>She asked waving to the screaming in the streets.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gainsboro">"No one is going to be coherent enough, or want to waste their time on questions they may think trivial."</span><br/><br/>The Captain stared at her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:dodgerblue">"My gumshoe choices are you and that kid who thinks she's freakin' <i>Columbo</i>, Bishop! I would rather have trivial than flat out idiotic like asking for the time!"</span><br/><br/>Kate sighed with a glare.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gainsboro">"Ami Robicheaux (ä-ME ROW-buh-chew) solved plenty of cases with that question... Actually... So did <i>Columbo</i>. Fine, Captain, I'll see what I can do. Meanwhile, I think you might want to head back to the station house and fortify it."</span><br/><br/>The Captain rolled his eyes. He couldn't stop the quip from slipping out.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:dodgerblue">"No shit, Sherlock. Keep me posted."</span><br/><br/>Kate nodded.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gainsboro">"Will do. And it's MacGyver."</span>She couldn't help herself either.<br/><br/>After a quick bite, she was out on the street doing what she did best. Observing everything.
