At 4 o'clock in the afternoon ... The mage Goldstone was guiding them to a large mansion of the team that, by itself, gaped either because it was so extensive that it would fit two dozen people or luxurious decoration with silver tones and gold in addition to very complex paintings scattered around the mansion.
-What decoration! - said Zelena admiring the decoration.
-Until it's not that bad. - said Loki proudly, even admiring the great comfort that the place seemed.
-It even has the latest generation computer! - Said Harley Quinn seeing a big computer in the living room.
-There is netflix, electronic games and a big sofa with a cinema right here to relax, hold your meetings, anyway ... Walking a little further there is a large kitchen and dining room right after. At the end of the corridor there is a large room for hobbies or mental and physical training, as you prefer. - Goldstone said guiding them to such places.
-Robots to train our magic ... Interesting! - said Zelena admiring the robots in a part written "for sorcerers".
-Magnificent! - Said Phantom observing in a corner a punjab tie.
-A baseball and guns of all kinds! - Said Harley Quinn surprised.
-A saber! - said Darth Vader.
-Metals ... - said Magneto.
-It is. There is also your room on the second floor, there are about 10, but I advise about four. After night I would like to have a meeting with you. Goldstone said.
-All right. Said Regina.
-Have a good afternoon. - Goldstone said leaving the place.
With that, both began to get closer to the things with which they had the most affinities or familiarities. Rumple, Zelena, Loki, Morgana, Freya and Regina went to the magic part; Magneto and Harley Quinn were in the "target shooting" part; while Phantom and Darth Vader were training in body combat.
-These ... Machines are very powerful. - Said Phantom admiring the reflexes of the robots.
-If in your world this is a surprise, because in my galaxy and in the places I have been they are relatively mediocre. But good for training skills. - said Darth Vader hitting the fifth robot with his lightsaber.
-From what I'm realizing it won't be the only thing that will surprise me. Sir. - Phantom said slightly surprised.
-Get ready for everything, it's my professional advice. - said Darth Vader dodging a robot. –Be careful with your opponent!
-It's already gone! - Said Phantom dodging a robot and hanging him with his punjab and kicks.
-I was not being careless for your information. He said proudly.
-It's remarkable. - said Darth Vader in an ironic tone. -But the faith you seem to have in yourself is peculiar.
-It may seem arrogant on my part, but if I'm not the one who has faith in me, who will look after me? - Phantom said a little melancholy. –Although most of the times it is difficult to cope with adversity.
-I get it. - said Darth Vader with a sense of identification. –Personally speaking, life was also not very good for me. The world much less, but I survive as I can.
-If this were a hearing test then I think I would get along relatively well. - Said Phantom giving a bittersweet laugh.
-I'll eat some, recharge my energy. - said Darth Vader moving away from him.
-I think I do too. Said Phantom, thinking aloud.
Phantom then decided to walk around the training room a bit to get some inspiration until he came across Harley Quinn in the shooting and targeting area, skillfully using firearms. This gaped him. A woman shooting so skillfully equal and even superior to a man? Apparently seeing robots "over there Frankenstein" and wizards doing witchcraft would not be the only significant surprises that he would encounter.
-I'm almost. - said Magneto using his power to try to hit a bullet in the target.
-Morally I think you should try using the gun instead of the bullet, it's much faster and more fun. - Said Harley Quinn laughing while hitting the target for the seventh time.
-That's because I haven't improved my powers and mind for a while. - said Magneto trying to concentrate to "catch" another bullet.
-Okay then. - Said Harley Quinn. –Erik. You around here? -Said surprise.
-I came to rest a little bit from training. - Said Phantom slightly exhausted.
-I am seeing. So: won't you tell me that women of your time did not use weapons with mastery? - said Harley Quinn trying to "read" her thoughts.
-If even for me this was difficult. No offense. - Said Phantom surprised.
-Want to learn? - Said Harley Quinn.
-Me? - Said Phantom surprised.
-I can teach you how to master firearms. Or would your pride stop you? - said Harley Quinn ironic.
"Yeah ..." said Phantom slightly proudly. –A new apprenticeship would not hurt. He approached her.
Harley Quinn then positioned herself behind him and held his hands, followed by the fingers on the trigger, leaving him breathless until ...
-Magnificent! How powerful they are! - Said Phantom surprised.
-What a shame. You almost hit the target, but you can still improve. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.
-I would take some classes. I need to be exceptional at this here. - Phantom said slightly perfectionist.
-Are you that perfectionist? - Said Harley Quinn curious.
-Let's say yes. I always try to overcome myself. Said Phantom proudly.
-I understand. - Said Harley Quinn.
-I liked your determination. - said Magneto stopping the training.
-You also seem very skilled. - Phantom said slightly flattered.
-I was born with this gift. Although many consider it a threat. - Magneto said trying to disguise the melancholy tone.
-Not threatening me, I will do no harm. I have also done very ambiguous things.- Phantom said laughing.
-Technically we have all done it, but the judgment always falls on the most excluded. Said Magneto.
-I always thought so. - Phantom said with an identification laugh.
-That's why I always say that I prefer the eccentrics. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.
-You prefer? - Said Phantom surprised.
-Yes. And you have a beautiful smile. - Said Harley Quinn squeezing her cheek that made Phantom become defensive and scared.
-No! - Phantom said scared and suspicious.
-Excuse me. I did not want! - Said Harley Quinn repentant and frightened.
-I don't deal well with these ... These things are too warm. I hope you understand. Said Phantom.
-OK I understand. - said Harley Quinn slightly calmly.
-What are your skills? Said Magneto, curious.
-I'm good with punjab lace, music, arts, disguises ... I'm not as good as you are. Admit. - Phantom said slightly embarrassed.
-Despite a retrograde medium, an over-skilled mind would do you good. Said Magneto.
-Thank you, but I work alone. Said Phantom.
-I already told you that he doesn't seem to me to be the type of person who works as a team. - Said Harley Quinn.
-It's all right. It's up to you. But anything I'm Erik Lehnsherr, but known as Magneto. Said Magneto, greeting him formally.
-Erik Destler. But I'm also the Phantom of the Opera. Said Phantom.
-Two Erkis. - Said Harley Quinna laughing.
-Let's eat? Said Magneto.
-Let's go. - Said Phantom and Harley Quinn.
-I'm sorry about that. - Said Harley Quinn regretfully.
- It's over. You are sorry for the elusive greeting and joke of my smile. Said Phantom.
- It wasn't a joke. - Said Harley Quinn.
-Do you really think my smile is beautiful? - Phantom said timidly.
-I'm a clown, but I'm serious too. - Said Harley Quinn laughing.
-Thanks, yours is also wonderful. It even looks like sunny splendor. - Said Phantom delighted.
-Thanks. - Said flattered Harley Quinn. Meanwhile ... In the magic session ...
They were training Zelena against Regina, Loki against Rumple and Morgana against Freya.
-You may be bad, but I'm mean and the mean always wins! - Zelena said, laughing after having knocked Regina to the ground with a wind.
-Don't celebrate the victory ahead of time! - said Regina making a fireball that made Zelena turn away from fear and fall to the ground.
- Apparently the enemy will regret it if he underestimates you. - Zelena said breathlessly.
-I learned this from my psychotic family. - said Regina raising Zelena.
-But never underestimate the enemy either! - said Zelena doing a magic that knocked Regina to the ground.
-I want to see me defeat now. - Loki said in the form of several clones that further confused Rumple, making him hit the wrong with his magic and get knocked out by the real Loki.
-I don't say anything else ... I surrender. Said Rumple, slightly exhausted.
-After all I am the god of cheating and sovereign king of Asgard ... - said Loki who barely finished the sentence and was slightly injured by the magic of Rumple who seemed angry by the defeat and underestimation of the opponent.
-Weak God. I am the dark one, I would never surrender to an opponent like that.
Said Rumple.
-But next time, there will be a return. - said Loki, walking away proudly for his injury and shame.
-Believe. My sister is worse. Said Regina.
-Less bad that this lord of darkness is not the Hulk. - Loki said slightly relieved.
-Who is he? - Regina said curiously.
-You do not even wanna know. - said Loki.
-Do you want an advice? Like a teammate? Said Regina.
-What? - said Loki.
-You sometimes underestimate your opponents a lot. I say from experience that this can lead to bad consequences. Said Regina.
-Are you telling me to be weak and submissive? To let people step on me?- Loki said changing the tone of his voice.
-Nothing like that! I'm just warning you of the problem of acting impulsively without considering the consequences! Said Regina, alternating her tone.
-I just have my self-love and self-worth. If the queen doesn't see it as a good thing, it's your problem. - Loki said angrily.
-I was just thinking of helping you! Now if you didn't take my advice, I have more to do! - Regina said angrily and moving away from him.
-The queen walked away because she knows I'm right, her vulnerability must have destroyed you. - Loki said wryly.
-Your ... - Regina said angrily and positioning herself to harm him with her magic. -I have more things to do. Have a good afternoon. - moved away from the place.
-You are a very skilled sorceress. - Freya said seeing her small wall of ice being destroyed by Morgana's fire for the third time.
-Thanks. Said Morgana.
- Did I say something too much? - Freya said confused.
-No. It's just that almost nobody said anything like me. I've always been a freak or a weakling. - Morgana said melancholy.
-I understand ... And how I understand. - Freya said sadly.
-Watch out! - said Morgana, using magic on the robot, defending her colleague.
-Sorry, is that suddenly my head was far away. - Freya said regretfully.
-Mine too. But it was good to train with you, your magic is very powerful. Said Morgana.
-Equally. My name is Freya. - said Freya, greeting her formally.
-Morgana Le Fay. Said Morgana.
-Beautiful name. - Freya said with a laugh. –Would you like to train sword fighting? If you know, of course.
-Yes! It was my favorite sport when I was young, I even dreamed of becoming a rider. But as they did not accept women ... - said Morgana with a bittersweet smile.
-Join me. For in my old kingdom men and women had the same training. Not to mention that I also love training to distract myself. - said Freya.
-Yeah ... I'd love to. Said Morgana, slightly happy.
-Let's eat? - said Freya.
-Let's go. Said Morgana.
