So, apparently, she had a sister. Well, a second sister. There was already TJ, though she wasn't exactly sure what had happened to her.

The sheer size of the Mansion and various demands had kept Mina from meeting with her until now, but everything had finally lined up. She'd thought about the best way to do it, and finally had left a message with Gretchen to meet her down in the gym for a time honored Wagner tradition: fencing.

Mina possessed a fair amount of skill at it, or at least she thought so, and besides, what she lacked in skill, she made up in quantity.

	First point and strike to Gretchen! "Yeah, well, even I think it's kinda weird," Mina agreed. "And it means I got zero normal grandmothers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Heh. Grandmama Margali and Grandmother Darkholme are all I've got for practical purposes, either. My Rassendyll grandparents were gone before I was born." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, geeze, I'm sorry," Mina replied. She shifted her stance and sword. "Every so often Granma Margali shows up to bug Mom about how my "magic training" is going, but she mostly stays out of our lives." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Appreciated, but it's not a big problem. Mom says they were good people, and had good lives." She listens, trying to keep a good eye out. "Not too surprising, all things considered. When she's not doing something that makes her mentally unstable, she rarely has the energy to get out of her chair, from what it sounds like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-02 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	"That sounds about right," Mina agreed. She started with a feint again, from the left. She laughed. "My sister, the princess. How about that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-02 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	She judges the feint well enough, but counters harder than she intended. Her step is just minisculely off now. "Funny how these things turn out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-02 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Mina pressed her attack. "Everything's part of God's plan," she replied. "At least, that's what Dad says." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-03 12:14 am UTC (link)
	And now they're even, but Gretchen's recovery and subsequent footwork is amusingly Douglas Fairbanks-esque. "So he does. And he doesn't mean int in some kind of Jansenian predeterministic despair way, which is always a plus." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Very Douglas Fairbanks. Mina's own responses are very much Errol Flynn. "Always good," Mina agreed. "Your country," she asked, "they're okay with the whole blue thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ruritania's extremely traditional. The thing is they're very specific about which traditions are important. Like having a natural redhead in the line of succession. The skin color's an afterthought if that's in the clear." Gretchen grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Must be nice," she said. "Do you... just go out like you are... everywhere?" It was an awkward, hesitant question, but one she wanted to know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-03 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Gretchen smiled. "The debate on whether I should have an image inducer was fascinating, and ended in a distinct 'No'. I've had cause to do the gloves-and-hat-over-the-face routine to save myself some trouble in foreign countries once or twice, but that's it. You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Well. That was.... Good for her. Mina looked down. "I'm pretty much not allowed off the grounds without mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-03 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Gretchen's face falls sympathetically. "Things are that hostile here? I mean, it's not great in most countries in my world either, don't mean to make it out to be a picnic, but..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"There's a few places," Mina assured her. "And it's actually better in places like Brittan, but there's a lot of places in the city where it's not that safe. Especially since Fargo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-03 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"The briefing wasn't really detailed..." Gretchen admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	"The town basically got wiped off the map," Mina said. "Because of a mutant who lost control of his powers. He... didn't mean it, but thousands died." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-03 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Gretchen just stands there horrified for a few moments. "Please tell me this person is getting the appropriate care so that this can't happen again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	"One of our teams brought him back here," Mina said. She'd been trying not to think about it, not to mention it, and yet... "And then he had another accident and killed my brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-03 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"....Mina, I'm so sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-03 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	Mina looked away, wiping a tear in her eyes. "Not... sniff not your fault," she said. "It hurts," she admitted. "I try and try to forgive him... and I just don't know if I ever will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-04 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"You can't expect to fix it all at once. If it's been recent, you need some time to just grieve -- Gott in Himmel, Dad..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-04 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Mina drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "He's taking it hard. He missed the first two years of Jake's life, and now this..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-04 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Gretchen listened, wide-eyed, and nodded. "I don't want to make things any harder for him right now..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-04 01:43 am UTC (link)
	Mina actually managed a little smile. "He's actually reasonable prepared for kids from another reality. It's happened before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-04 01:53 am UTC (link)
	"It has?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-04 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yeah," Mina said. "TJ. Extra-dimensional kid of Dad and the Scarlett Witch. She was around for a little, but don't know what happened after that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-04 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"The Scarlet Witch. Huh. You know, I can kind of see it, but I would never have thought of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-04 02:21 am UTC (link)
	"What? Dad with a gypsy witch?" she asked. "Why, that's impossible!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-04 02:40 am UTC (link)
	"I just mean that the idea would never have occurred to me. I am admittedly a little used to Kurt Wagner, dashing and daring King Consort of Ruritania. It's hard to imagine him dashingly married to other people. I don't think he and Ms. Maximoff ever dated at all in my world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-04 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"Here neither, as far as I know," Mina told her. "But the point is, you don't have anything to worry about. You're family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-04 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks. I appreciate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kidfuzzy 2010-08-04 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Mina smiled and regained her focus. "Now, if I'm remembering right, we were tied..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-08-05 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"We were." And they resume. (Reply to this)(Parent)
