Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reaper stared at the boy a moment after his short flip-out. Was his method of transportation a little too much? Perhaps he should have spoke to him before simply snatching him up.

Alcina had turned around in her seat after hearing the shout from behind her. She stared at the three with an expression that seemed to match the uncertainty in Peter's voice.

MJ, surprised briefly at his sudden appearance, was noticably relieved to see him.

Reaper, though, didn't give her a chance to do much of anything. "Sorry, the list didn't specify which one of you...but I thought bringing you here would be the best thing to do anyway." Reaper replied, flashing him the note. "I realize you haven't seen any of the other heroes lately, but do you have any idea where any of them would have gone?"

Reaper opened his mouth to reply, then noticed the girl as she stepped around him a bit. He closed his mouth.
Right...they hadn't really said anything in front of the girl, had they? He wasn't really used to sugarcoating things.

He turned his attention back towards the boy and shrugged a bit, slipping the note back into his pocket. "Nothing to get very excited about..." he replied. "Doctor made a list of people, and we were wanting to round everyone up for a meeting. We haven't been able to find anyone yet, except for you so far."

Reaper paused a moment...trying to think of how to reply.

Well, no. We have no idea why he wrote the list or what he wanted with the people on it. He dissapeared without notice as well. Sure, go out and help us look, but let us know if you get attacked or something?

....no, none of that was going to help. And other than that, he was drawing a blank on what to say. He glanced casually over at the young red-head, then over at the couch once he realized the quiet woman was staring at him as well.

....damn it....

"Well..." Reaper replied, exhailing. "Not sure about that. Strange was in a bit of a hurry when he wrote the note, and didn't really explain much about it before he...left to check on something." he continued carefully, trying to sound as casual as he could for the two women. "I have a couple dozen clones out searching right now. If you think you'd be able to find anyone quicker than me...being a good guy and all, then yeah. But...ah..." Crap, how did he say it.

"Can't Strange find them when he get's back?" M.J. asked. He was supposed to be a powerful magic user after all. He should be able to find anyone he wanted without any trouble.

Reaper hesitated, noticably longer than he had the first time. Part of him was trying very hard to try and pull words together to answer her.
...the other part...the part that had cursed him since birth...was becoming impatient. He could feel the little ich working it's way out from the back of his mind. It didn't want to be nice and play the good guy anymore. It didn't want to talk. It wanted to go outside and play.
The sensable and logical part of his brain kept pushing the thoughts back though, and he focused his attention on the others in the room.

"He didn't say when he'd be back." Reaper finally replied.

A sudden thought caught his attention, and he glanced back over at the couch. Alcina was still staring at him, but her eyes were a bit wider now with worry. After about a second of focusing his untrained telepathy on her, he realized that she was getting her powers back little by little. Her own telepathy was a natural born ability, so it was one of the first to return.
She knew.

A second later he realized that he hadn't even bothered to check the woman out while they both had been here. The woman Strange had told him not to bother was a GODDESS?! He could have taken a scratch of blood from her this entire time but he didn't know to....
He shook his head quickly, realizing what he was thinking, and focused on the two teenagers.
No, be good....he wasn't supposed to mess with her....Strange could come back at any time....be good...for once, be good...

MJ grinned at him. "Well at least it's not your costume I have to work on. I'll let you two get to your super hero talk. Peanut butter and jelly, right?" she asked in a teasing tone as well.

Alcina stared at the group a moment longer, then slowly turned around to sit back down in her seat. It...it wasn't any of her business. Nothing she could really do yet anyway...

Reaper relaxed very slightly. Not completely, but he was glad he didn't have to try and be careful with his words now. He glanced down at the note in his hand, then realized that he had put it away and was still holding the packet of blood.

Reaper sighed slightly, and motioned his head for the boy to follow. He'd begin explaining on the way to the Study. The other woman...he could just talk about it right here, but he could tell that she was upset, and he was told not to make her upset. She already knew, but she probably wouldn't want to hear about it. Plus, someone else could walk in, or...ugh. Nothing he ever said was good so he might as well take this elsewhere anyway.

"Doctor Strange apparently wrote the list in quite a hurry. Something Wong said was unusual for him. We both apparently got a...bad feeling earlier. Wong went to check on Strange and found an empty room, and this note. I so far havent' been able to find any heroes other than you." he explained quietly.

Reaper was quiet for a moment. Obviously thinking.

The first time the boy had brought it up, he really didn't like the idea of it. But...the more he thought about the situation...the less he truely cared about it.
No Strange...
No Heroes...
Would it make a difference if this boy dissapeared as well? Would that really be a bad thing for him? If he went out to play, there wouldn't be anyone to cut his fun short.

...of course...if something did take out Strange, then who's to say he was safe either? X may very well have gotten more powers.

He hesitated a moment longer, then glanced over at the boy. "If...if you think you can find anything out better than I can, then go ahead. I have copies of myself in as many places as I can get. A few of which in my bone form to try and draw attention. But, they haven't found anything yet."

Inside the kitchen, MJ was standing behind the table with a plate of bread and two small jars in front of her. Beside the plate, was another empty plate. Beside it, was a small bag of sliced turkey, chicken breast, may, and anything else she found in the fridge that would make a good sandwich. She had PB&J already made, but she had been kidding a little about it. It wasn't really the kind of sandwich a superhero could run on, was it?
