Gloria paciently waiting for the two males to walk through the door before she gently shut it and walked over to her desk.

"I found this little beauty on one of my latest travels - it had ended up locked in a museum archive in Luxembourg and was part of an auction I just had to participate in." She picked up a cloth hat that was placed neatly on an examiner's pedestal underneath a magnifying glass, admiring the stitching and almost complete lack of fading.

Without warning, she placed the hat on her head. As soon as it touched her crown, the air in the room dropped temperature, and despite the warmth outside the entire room was plunged into frost. Ice rapidly formed around Bri, Aden, and Kan-U, encasing the lower half of Bri's and Kan-U's. However, with a slight nod of Gloria's head, the ice trapped Aden's lower half and arms.

"Nice trick, no?" she laughed gayly, stalking over to the Mayan on ice. "This belonged to one of the Six Soldiers of Fortune, who used the ice to freeze over an oven he was trapped in." Moving nimbly for her age, she suddenly plucked the thimble from Kan-U's finger and hopped out of his enraged grasp.

"A thimble that can change someone's identity? I can hardly pass this up, darling."

With that, she looked pointedly at Bri. "I'm surprised you haven't yet done that, Miss Rependata. I know I would be awfully embarrassed if I was accused of stealing precious things from a museum," she said, tauntingly. She paused, then laughed. "Well, if I was caught stealing things from a museum, anyways."

"Now, this really has been ice. But I'm afraid your meeting has come to an end. Ta ta!" With that, the woman held up a very familiar looking drafting compass and vanished. The chill began to disappate when she left, and already the three encased agents could see the ice-melting.
