<span class="mu-r">“Do you think she’ll be easy to work with? What do we have on her file? Any psych evals or interviews?”</span> you asked.
<span class="mu-b">“I can do some digging, but I can’t deny that she’s got a pretty domineering personality.”</span> Cat admitted. <span class="mu-b">“It’s hard to tell whether she put herself at the top of the food chain out of necessity, or if she feels the need to always be the one in charge.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Doesn’t sound like much of a team player to me.”</span> Prowler said, finally having emptied his stomach.
<span class="mu-b">“I’ll take it into consideration. Once I’ve got all the pieces together, you boys can decide whether we move forward with it, or not.”</span> Felicia offered.

You spent the rest of the trip going over the necessary steps to break Medusa out, and how you would all make your clean getaway. All in all, busting her out wouldn’t be terribly difficult, but getting away and crafting a new identity for her might prove troublesome. Either way, this was all purely theoretical at the moment. You weren’t sure if you were willing to let a stranger into your circle of trust just yet.
You were so engrossed in your conversation, that you barely noticed the transition between Neverland, and your world. It was seamless. No magic portals, no shifting skyline. Just a quick trip below the clouds, and you could already see what looked like a Mini-Helicarrier down below waiting for you to land.
Pandora set the Guess down gently on the landing strip, and little by the little, the vessel lost some of its blinding radiance. Pandora let out a shuddering breath, and it just now occurred to you that she might have been struggling to maintain the spell that Tinkerbell cast on the ship. With the anti-magic shield so close, it was probably incredibly dangerous for you to fly around like you did.
The Director of W.A.N.D. was the first to climb down. It was then that you noticed the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. walking up to meet her halfway. The two exchanged some words, and they both glanced in your direction more than a few times as they spoke. Finally, Pandora placed the bag in Hill’s hands and stepped past her. A waiting S.H.I.E.L.D. agent escorted Pandora further into the Mini-Helicarrier, and another took the bag from Hill and went into a separate door.
By the time that the rest of you made it down, Maria Hill was standing alone, facing your group with an expression that bordered on imperious.
Her gaze shifted to the children for a minute, and then to Peter Pan. He didn’t look particularly happy, but he didn’t move to stop them either.
