Seeing Tony look at her Hope quickly looked forward, hoping he wouldn't question her about what she had been trying to say before. She had to think of this as a way to learn more of an enemy and be prepared for chances of an incoming future they were likely to have. "Hope you three can keep up, I'm going ahead." She told them as she glanced back briefly before she took off across the now dried up ocean, leaving a trail of dust in her wake as she ran. Compared to Pietro she was mostly a green, brown, and red blur as she moved across what use to be the ocean floor and headed right for Genosha.

It took them a little while but it wasn't long before Tony and the others arrived at Genosha. It still seemed the same here on the island as Magneto hand crafted the metal buildings on the island. They even had some strange looks from others as they made their way to the citadel. Once Pietro was placed in the hospital Tony was out by himself no one of the balconies and out of his suit so he could rest himself since they were running for some time. It wasn't long before Francis came over to sit next to his leader, "You know I was thinking Francis. We need to attack soon. I'm getting tired of being chased around like we're animals." Tony said with as Francis was a bit surprised about this. "You'll have to tell Hope about this as well you know. But I do know one place that we can try and hit. Stark Tower was claimed by Thanos." Francis said as Tony was even more stunned by the news, he knew he'd have to tell Hope about this one.
Ooc: Did a little time skip hope you don't mind, Koryn.

Since they arrived to the island though Hope had wandered away from the guys and gone off on her own, exploring Genosha for a short while. Though it didn't seem that different from the present day one outside the simulation, though it still looked cold and uninviting it was more so with the depressed looking mutant residents. Though some stared at her for different reasons others hardly paid her much mind at all, likely having their mind on other things. Eventually though the red head found herself at the docks, standing on the edge of where the ocean would have been crashing against the rocky sides. It was kind of a more depressing sight from there, seeing nothing but desert for miles instead the beautifully dangerous dark waters.
Though her mind was also preoccupied, thinking of where to find other Avengers and where her future self was. Had the Phoenix taken over and fled? Or was she too in hiding? The first place she likely would check is New York, maybe around the Xavier mansion or in Coopersville, but that was way too far and she wouldn't make it back to help the others in realistic thinking. After some time thinking though Hope finally went to one resident, inquiring about the vehicles holding area before she was directed where to go and quickly rushed off through the citadel, going through the nearest entrance and moving through the lower parts of the building for little over twenty minutes before she finally reached the loading dock and moved over to a hover craft that was likely made by techs there.
Definitely a futuristic model different from Stark Industries but it would do as the controls were quite similar. After fiddling with the vehicle though Hope finally got it going before she turned the engines to full and finally began leaving the hanger, taking off from Genosha to head back to New York, least it seemed that way. She was specifically heading to a location in general and could be seen in the distance from higher up, even the balconies.

Tony and Francis were still talking back while they were having some time to themselves. They had not seen Hope nor knew where she went too but Jarvis detected her as she was starting to leave Genosha, “Sir I don’t mean to bother you and Mr. Barton but it seems Hope is leaving Genosha. My only guess is she’s heading straight towards New York.” Jarvis said as Tony was concerned once more. “Great she leaves without telling me. And what if she gets into danger while we’re gone?” Tony said but Francis had a partial thought Tony was being too protective of Hope. She had gotten this far and maybe she could handle herself like he could. None the less he fell silent. “Tony let’s just go and follow her. She’s obviously got something in mind.” Francis finally said after trying to figure out what to say before getting Tony mad. And it seemed to be enough to convince Tony that it was a good idea as he began to suit up. It wasn’t long before the two men were off after Hope as Francis took his hovercraft but they were already far behind Hope, and it might take some time before they ever reach her, and let alone New York. They had to leave Quicksilver behind, he was in no shape to travel and he needed rest. It was better off if the speedster stayed behind.
Tony decided to try and contact the red head, seeing that they would take a long time to try and get to her, “Hope! We thought of something that might prove useful in this war that’s going on. We’re going to attack Stark Tower. I know it sounds crazy but it’ll give Thanos a pretty big eyesore to look at.” Tony said hoping that it’d go through to the young Avenger.
--
Deep within Stark Tower it seemed another force was at work, someone had claimed this building for themselves as it was clear that it had not been well kept over the years. It was dimly lit; some of it was a prison while most of it was used as a headquarters. Hope was traveling towards it as one man noticed that there had been some activity in New York that was out of the ordinary there. “Is something the matter Stark?” A voice called out as the older Tony winced expecting that he’d be struck again or have some form of torture on his hands. He waited, but none came. His once dark hair turned and faded completely white as a clear sign he was growing old. “Sir I believe that the avengers managed to get away from your subjects, even Captain America could not keep up.” Tony said as he heard an angry yell as the person could not handle the news that well and he knew it. “They got away!? This is impossible!” Thanos called out in rage. “Nothing gets away from me, nothing!”
“But that one girl that’s with them. She may be useful for you, you know. The daughter of the Scott Summers would be a powerful tool in your-“ Tony was cut off as he heard Thanos’ rage again and winced. “Guards take him back to his cell. I’ve already had enough of him talking if he’s going to bring more bad news I don’t want to hear it.” Thanos said as Tony was dragged away as he barely even struggled to fight back from the robots that served as guards, they were obviously better than human ones. It was like the former man that was known as Ironman wasn’t there. But maybe the fire that he once had was dimly lit, it was just a spark. Tony had been beaten so many times that the once great man was nothing more. He had no will to fight as his suits were gone. But it was clear that someone else was still there and wanted to fight. He knew that some of the Avengers could possibly do it while he couldn’t.

Though Hope was heading to New York the familiar area of Stark Tower was not her intended destination. No, it was another place she was familiar with and had visited in a time when it was nothing but ruins with no living soul in sight no matter where her and Cable looked. It was the X-mansion she was heading for as with the waters no longer a danger with the ocean dried up she had heard there was a cave beneath the school not far of from the hanger and that was where she was going to try. She quickly revved the engine of the hovercraft she was borrowing, making it go even faster as she headed close to New York.
"I figured we might Tony, but I am heading to see if we can't get an extra hand." Hope responded, having taken her card out as she kept driving with the others, glancing back as she knew Jarvis might pick up on the fact she was missing. "I'll meet you at the tower I guess, but if you want to follow me instead head to the X-men mansion."She said before turning off the transmission and continuing to fly for an hour before she landed at the yet again ruined mansion, frowning when seeing it was devastated. But she quickly shook her head before she landed closer to the cliffs towards the other side of the school and quickly getting off the hovercraft as it was in park mode and heading off to the cliff side.
Turning she began climbing down carefully, watching her footing so as to not slip. Even with the water gone this would be a terrible drop and one she likely wouldn't live from or take a long while to recover so she continue to be careful until she found the cave she had seen in another universe and swung herself inside when she reached the top of the cave and disappeared within. If the two Avengers did catch up the only thing they would hear was the sound of her feet echoing off the cave walls.

"I guess we'll follow you then." Tony said as he spoke back to Hope. He knew she could get there using Pietro's speed and be there in a matter of seconds compared to how long it would take on getting back "Why would she want to go to the X-man mansion?" Francis asked as Tony thought about it and he had some theories. Like Genosha there could perhaps be some survivors there for all they knew. There could have been a handful if they were lucky. With survivors there came some people who were willing to fight Thanos and this was going to end soon before he knew it. Thanos probably missed many students or the original members of the X-Men. They were all smart enough to stay off of the current freak's radar for long enough.
"I have some theories Francis. Right now we should just follow and try to keep up." Tony added as the archer could only follow. He could tell that they were going to have a fight in their midst. It wouldn't be long before they arrived at the mansion that was home to the X-Men. Each one of them was stunned to see the shape that it was in. There was probably little to no hope of finding some members that were alive. It was like hope was fading from the both of them. As Francis looked over the area he realized that there was a cave near the cliff side. He hadn't known about the cave, but it was probably one that the X-Men kept as a secret. "Tony over here!" He called for the Avengers leader as they began to head after Hope to see what was going on.

As Hope carefully navigated through the cave she began to hear some voices and paused for a bit, listening carefully to the sounds and quietly followed. Peeking around one corner she finally spotted one small group and could make out their whispering only a bit and one seemed to suddenly look towards her making Hope duck away. "Who's there?!"A male voice called out but when she didn't answer for a few minutes a rock came flying her way making Hope realize she didn't have much of a choice. "A friend, I just came to see if you guys could help,"She said as she came from her hiding spot and hearing some gasps of surprise as she saw the male there was her adoptive uncle Nate Grey.
"Why are you here?"Nate demanded, looking almost tired and worn out but also quite serious compared to his current self. "Like I said, I came here to gather help against this Thanos."But soon as the words left her mouth all of them glared at her,"Do you not realize what he's done? The whole world is practically dead!"A person said, this being a slightly older Megan but her wings no longer were pixie-wings but more demonic looking bat wings and her skin a lavender color. She had not met the real Pixie but had seen the girl on the news, but this wasn't exactly what she had expected to see after all these years. "Not to mention we've had no hope left to fight back."She added with a sigh.

Ironman and Francis were further down than Hope had been unaware that there were still survivors in it. However Francis paused making Tony stop as well wondering what was bothering the archer, "We're not alone." Francis said as he took out his bow however the remaining light seemed to flicker out as not something but someone was following them and let out a sharp snarl. It was masculine like and rather threatening, like they weren't welcomed here. Had they fallen into a trap? Before Francis could say anything he got knocked off his cycle and tossed off by something hard as he hit the ground of the cavern, he heard a snikt noise as one sharp claw touched his face, and he could see that two more could come out.
Tony was about to fire as Jarvis picked up who it was, "Sir do not fire your repulsor ray. I have picked up that this is another Avenger, Wolverine!" Jarvis said as Tony seemed to relax at this but still it was certainly a frightening moment. "Jarvis is right." Tony said as he put down his repulsor ray to see that it really was the wolf like mutant. "And for a second I thought you were one of Thanos' goons." Wolverine said with a sharp growl back at them. "Can you get your hand off me before I have another heart attack?" Francis said trying to push Wolverine off but it wasn't easy since he weighed so much. So he did as he stood up, even in what light they had Logan had aged just like Francis had. He looked like he had been through a lot since these last couple of years. Beaten and worn from battle. "I suggest you boys head back where you came from." Wolverine said as Tony showed surprise by this. "That's not like you Wolverine. Not one bit. We came to help. Just like Hope did." Tony said wondering if they were wasting their time with this mutant.
---
As Hope entered she had caught the eyes of a few who some interest in what she was saying. Others merely carried on with their work. There was one of them who came out as his leg looked damaged and injured so badly that he could no longer use it. So there was hardly any support on it. It was now the older Shawn Anderson who had been a young student so long ago. "I believe her. Don't you guys want to fight back as well? I'm sick of hiding like rats or even moles. We need to come out of the shadows." Shawn said as his voice had thickened since those days as he was at least in his mid twenties.
There were a couple of things Thanos didn't have. He may have had an army but they were all controlled through their minds. So if they broke their contact with them he'd surely loose some members. Of course that meant destroying one of the gems that he had on him. That was one of the first things they had to worry about. The second part was defeating Thanos.
