HEAVY IS THE HEAD: Genosha Mission

WHO: Wolverine, Storm, and those who volunteered for the mission.
WHAT: It's time to meet the guy in the helmet and attempt to talk him out of starting WWIII
WHERE: The shores of Genosha, then onto Magneto's palace.
WHEN: Saturday Evening to Sunday Morning
WARNING(S): Could get violent.

It had been a long flight, with Storm's powers managing to create electric fields that jammed most tracking systems, but still had to park the Blackbird itself well away from the Genoshan coast, with a small jet boat being taken the rest of the way. It was a silent wonder as to how they had managed to get this close without alerting any of the local authorities, but Logan assured the team his man on the inside had them taken care of. They just had to put their faith in him. Which, putting faith in Wolverine was one thing, but in a total stranger? That was a bit more difficult to fathom...

Once the team arrived on a well protected cove, the boat was hidden under practical camouflage (as using Storm's powers to hide it in fog would just trip alarms. No-Girl, Martha, was left with the ship to shield it psychically if needed, and send a long range alert to Cerebro if something went wrong.

Wolverine took them up a steep, rocky hill, and to one of the walls of Genosha's government sanctums, the very one that house Magneto's steel palace, and they waited for their contact to arrive...

"Lots of unfamiliar faces... My name is Gabrielle Haller. Normally I'm a special ambassador for the UN," though her accent betrayed her Israeli descent.

"When all the others were kicked out of Genosha, Medic here helped me stay on the island. I've known Erik a long, long time. I think if there's anyone besides Charles who can talk him down from this ledge he's standing on, it's me."

She nodded a small bit, despite the fact that she wanted to point out that she herself was lots of familiar faces. You've seen one, you've seen them all, more or less. But she didn't. She just nodded. "You're friends then?" she asked, her voice soft.
imah: (tension)

"We were... a long time ago. Perhaps we still are enough that I can get through to him. I'd like to think so, anyways," she was always confident in her ability to talk her way out of a bad situation. She didn't need any mutant powers for that.
eileaneathompson: (Yeah?)

"Friendship is a strong power," she said softly. She had only just learned how strong it could be, and how shallow her friendships before had been.

"That's a wise thing to say. Ever considered a career in dipolomacy?" Gabby laughed. She actually laughed. It felt good, after so much worrying.
eileaneathompson: (*blush*)

"Me?" she asked startled, eyes widening as she flushed. "I... don't think that would be such a great idea..."
