Wanda blinked, setting the fork down and looking at Miss Turner seriously, "Waoh woah woah... Back up a minute there. She's not a mutant?" clearly she knew nothing of Ambrose, or really what her father had been up to as of late. To be honest, she'd seen enough in the past to merely assume it was more of the usual.

"No. She isn't. She's human."

"Does she carry the x-gene at all?" Wanda inquired

"..." Miss Turner thought about it, "I don't think so."

Wanda looked confused, "... but she has magic? He's got to be up to something..."

Miss Turner tilted her head, "If you mean he's up to his neck in love then yes."

"Ha, love, sure, okay" Wanda rolled his eyes, "I don't think so, he's up to something"

"...You didn't see how sad he was went Miss Ambrose disappeared. You haven't even been around to see how he has changed." Miss Turner got up. "Miss Wanda, you really need to let go of all the anger you've been holding for so long. It doesn't flatter you and it will surely be the death of you." Miss Turner turned and headed back into the kitchen to put the cookies in plastic containers to be frozen.

"Hmf." Wanda got to her feet, "And who are you to tell me what I need?" she demanded, "You don't know a thing about me and my 'anger' issues. That psycho who likes to call himself my father, locked me up in a damned mental institution just because he couldn't handle me. He screwed with my memories so I'd help him out-so excuuuuuse me for not giving two shakes about his damned life. He's always up to something. Always working a second angle, so watch your back because he's going to turn on you to." she shoved the chair out of the way and stormed towards the door.

Miss Turner bolted over and spun Wanda around by the arm. "I know more about you then most Wanda." Miss Turner pulled all her hair back with both her hands, "Because I was there with you."

It took her a moment, squinting at the face before her, "... you...." she took a step back, "Wait a minute-what?!"

Miss Turner took a step back, a bit of blush on her face. She really didn't want to admit that ugly boy had been her. "I don't know if you even paid attention to the few group sessions they let you go to but... I'm a girl. And my parents couldn't accept that."

"... yeah.... I was still pretty heavily drugged at those" Wanda replied, eyeing her

"Yeah, they liked to drugged me after those meetings." Miss Turner was getting very self conscious, as Wanda looked her over. She shivered.

"I haven't seen you in... in a long-a** time" Wanda shook her head, then suddenly wrapped her arms around Miss Turner and hugged her tight, "I thought I'd never see you again."

O///O "Oh. Well. I...I Didn't realize I made such an impression on you, Miss Wanda.... I like what you've done with your hair." She smiled lightly

"Are you kidding me?" Wanda let her go, "You were the only sane person in that joint! Come on, have you checked out Genosha yet? I've gotta show you around"

Miss Turner smiled warmly. "I've seen a bit of it. But I've been a bit nervous to wander off on my own. This is the first time I've been somewhere so different. I would love it if you showed me around Miss Wanda."

"No worries, people won't bug ya if you're with me" Wanda smiled and headed for the door, "Lets go!"

Meanwhile else where, loki awesomness?

Loki had spent some time figuring things out, it hadn't been easy. First he had to figure out who he was going to go to for help and thanks to Ceres' computer tutorial he was able to find just the man. Lex Luthor; he had the power, the money and resources to get just about anything in Midgaurd done and Loki, Loki had the knowledge to make it happen.

So the god made his way to Luthor headquarters and walked right in. For the most part, nobody knew what to do to stop him, then only paused and stared and a good thing to because without his magic he wasn't too certain how far he would have gotten otherwise. As it was, Loki was actually able to stride right into Luthor's office, interrupting what looked like an important meeting-but let's be honest, who was going to turn down a norse god?

Soon enough the two got talking, hashed out some details and agreed to work together. Loki would provide the concepts, ideas and technical know-how and Luthor would make it happen.
Over the new few months, Luthor Industries skyrocketed into a new technological age, drowning out even most of Wayne Enterprises new achievements.

Many different areas were affected, from the obvious technology to even new medical breakthroughs which-through some of Luthor's less legitimate companies, caused a plague of new narcotics to flood the streets. One in particular that was creating quite the sensation among criminals.

They called it the Red Devil drug and it was instantly addictive but the benefits were miraculous. Within moments of taking it, one would gain the ability to manipulate matter-at first these people were thought to be mutants but they all held the same traits, particularly the demonic red eyes that it caused. Anyone coming down from the high would get a drastic reality check as well. If you didn't keep up your intake, there was an 88% mortality rate but as long as you could score, you had god-like power at your fingertips.

The drug had hit Gotham harder than most places and Batman was forced to call in reinforcements. The entire Young Justice crew had been relocated nearby to be on 24/7 call whenever another psycho went Red Devil on the place. Bruce even called in Stingray, he was having trouble pinpointing just how the drug was getting in to Gotham, let alone where it was being made initially.

Stingray came as soon as she could. Her small stingray sub/plane coming up in the water of the bat cave.

The bat cave was more a bustle than usual. Rather than just one big bat moseying around it was like the place was on fire. Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, even Barbara was there in her wheelchair, typing away at the computer-and of course Alfred was attending to all of them, currently going around with an assortment of mini-sandwiches.

"Egg salad on Rye, or smoked ham and swiss?" the butler offered Stingray the moment she stepped ashore.

"Thanks, I forgot to grab something." Ciara took a half of an egg salad sandwich on rye bread. When she'd heard the news, she'd hurried to get to Gotham as soon as possible. She left Scott a memo on the situation. And the team was on stand-by. If this drug showed up else where, it'd be good to have some extra hands on deck to send off to help maintain coverage of all areas. Also Genosha was being extra careful, if this drug did this sort of thing to normal people... who knows what it could do to mutants.

She bit down as she headed over to Batman. "Stringray reporting for duty. Also X Squad has been put on stand by should you like some extra hands." She knew Batman didn't like outsiders helping but she's mention it anyways.

"Hopefully it won't come to that" Batman replied, which told you just how bad things had become. Normally he would state gruffly that such a thing wasn't needed or necessary. "Half of the young justice team is on recon in New York, trying to find the source of this thing. It doesn't seem like there's anyone actually making it in Gotham, it all gets shipped in through at least ten different companies. We've shut down five but it seems like for each one we get rid of, another two take it's place. Barbara's trying to track the electronic trail but the encryption's beyond anything we've seen before" he finally turned away from his work to actually face Ciara. He looked more tired than usual, "the rest of young justice is currently out taking care of a group of Devils. When they get back I want you doing a sweep of the city with Robin."
