Kiania's eyes landed on Artemis, and she stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Deep breath, remember? Just focus on breathing."

“I’m so sorry that you have to deal with my burden. I’m usually with my father in situations like this, but I’m useless otherwise. I can’t be a hero if I can’t deal with a simple home invasion.” Artemis took a deep breath, then steeled herself to enter the Sanctum.
"It's different when it's your home." Kiania soothed, before grinning. "You got me with you, ain't nobody gettin' away from this without payin'. Now c'mon. Lead the way, miss Sorceress."
“Alright. Inside we go, I suppose,” Artemis said shakily. Gingerly, she stepped through the gaping hole in the door. The grand staircase was scuffed with boot prints leading up to the grand landing. Quietly, she flicked open her staff, and one of her necklaces began to glow softly.
Adrik had gotten to his feet, and was now walking just a step behind the rest of the group. Realizing he was stuck, he figured it would be best to at least be on his guard. With a small click and roll of his shoulders, metal encased his lower arms, and he pulled his knife from where he had stashed it
Kiania shoved her hands back into her pockets, but didn't draw her own knife. She would if needed, but until then, she was good with scanning their surroundings, her footsteps silent as she walked.
Eliza was swinging above them through the trees. Her mask was back up around her face.
Artemis whispered at Kiania and Adrik. “The intruders most likely went to the third floor, where the artifact room is. Opening a portal now would be too noisy, but there’s a secret passage that should take us up there quickly.”
Now alone, Nat turned and run freely back thought the woods. She reached the house that was over the next hill and entered quickly. She hit a speed dial button on her phone and spoke quickly when the man on the other end picked up. "Nick, I need a quinjet up here."
Eliza was torn between following one group and the other, "What the heck?! Wha-."
"No time," she replied when he asked for a reason. "I need it."
"I can't just give out quinjets, Natasha." She heard his voice tighten at her name. It plagued them all – a reminder of someone they loved and lost.
"The New York Sanctum is under attack," she explained briefly.
"How do you know?"
"A source."
"Reliable?"
"Very."
"By whose standards?"
"Mine."
A long pause made her think she lost him.
"It's coming."
"Oh, I love secret passages." Kiania said in a low voice, playing with her knife in her pocket as she scanned the damage around them.
Artemis slipped next to an urn, and pulled it’s handle down. The wall behind it hissed open, revealing a hallway dimly lit by flickering torches.
Kiania's eyes visibly lit up, though figuratively. "Nice." She whispered, lips twitching just slightly.
(Wow I missed a lot)
Kerenza shifts at voices, and she grabbed her gloves, running and bumping into Kiania. "Sorry!" She says qickly.
As Artemis snuck down the hallway, she heard loud shouts and the sound of shattering glass. She flinched at the noise, but continued on, determined to protect her home.
Kiania winked at Kerenza before slipping the knife from her pocket, the military grade folding knife glinting wickedly in the dim light as she held it in a way that definitely suggested she knew how to use it. She followed Artemis closely, preparing to draw on the energy she had stored if need be.
Nat's foot tapped impatiently as she waited. "Damn it, Nick…"
I think I might leave this rp)
(Aww! If you don't know where to come in, Eliza can find Nat.)
(Uh… ok?)
"Hey! Hey, Nat!" Eliza swings forward, running when she hit the ground, "What's going on?!"
Nat turned on a dime and was in a fighting stance before you could say Captain America.. Her eyes narrowed. How did this girl know her? "Who are you?"
(Nat never saw Eliza cause she was in the tree. Also, it was just a suggestion cause we both missed out on the sling ring portal XP)
(I mean it works. Thanks XD
"Ah! Wait! Sorry! Uh… your name is Nat right?" She had her arms up defensively. She had only known that name from her dad
(Yup, np!)
Nat's eyes narrowed. "To some people. Who are you? Don't make me ask again."
She kept her arms raised, "I-Im Eliza parker. Hi nice to meet you." She says this very fast with the same sort of stutter at Peter.
