Casualties of War

The Clocktower

Delilah answered after fewer rings than Zach expected. He apologized for calling so early, but she told him she was already up. He told her that the Birds of Prey were going to take action, and that he hoped the Six’s plan could at least be held off.

Delilah (via phone): We all met again last night. Cameron has taken charge of the op. Morgan has agreed to call of the teams.

(Into the phone)“Oh thank the gods.”

He said. It was probably the first time in his life that he’d ever been relieved by Cameron doing anything, and it felt a bit surreal. Delilah cautioned that Morgan might still fall back on her original plan.

(Into the phone)“Yeah, Morgan’s always been headstrong, but it’s a relief if the rest of you have reconsidered.”

He replied. She told him he had time, but not much, and that she was waiting for the call now, that she’d let him know when it happened.

(Into the phone)“We might see each other soon, then. Text me, or I’ll text you when we leave. Good luck, Delilah.”

He told her, and they exchanged goodbyes. He turned back to the others.

“It sounds like the Six are gearing up soon, but Delilah doesn’t know when, yet. They’re waiting for something. It seems like they’re wavering on what their plan should actually be. Maybe the kill teams didn’t sit well with enough of them in the end. I think if they see us there, it’ll encourage them to focus on the real enemies, and saving Haleigh and Ava will get exponentially more likely.”

Hellfire Mansion - Kelly's Lab

< It had been a rough twenty four hours. They had been whisked to Ahadi by Diana and Ravena on some kind of vagrant self congratulatory tour. Diana had dangled Ravena and Alice in front of her, yet again testing her as she had done ever since Kelly arrived in the timeline. She had done her best to play by Diana's rules - all of them, because Kelly wasn't an idiot. Before her own timeline was destroyed by Karen Victoria, Diana had been her closest friend and ally. Both before and after The White Queen had taken a hit out on her life. It was her ability to survive that was most underestimated by the people in this timeline, and Kelly had used it to her advantage, if not begrudgingly. She worried she dazzled people because her mainstream counterpart was a twit. And that was partly true. But ever since arriving here, Kelly had shared somewhat of a bond with her predecessor. Every now and then, she would be sitting in Hellfire and get a glimpse of who Kelly King was, of what she was thinking. Surely she couldn't have been a complete idiot if she managed to finagle her way into The Inner Circle, leading The Axis of Evil on their assault against Valiant. It didn't take long for Kelly to realize that Witchfire had been mindfucked to the highest degree. The only thing Kelly couldn't figure out was why? She was certain it was because Kelly King had stumbled upon something, or had some kind of deep seated dirt on Diana. But she had yet to figure out the answer, and it troubled her - because Kelly Shaw was worried she might possess the same trait or information as Kelly King, and that it would ultimately result in her death. >

< But Ravena proved to be a stepping stone that she hadn't been anticipating. She was mistrustful of him from the second she met him, as she had never been a fan of vampires. They were the bottom feeders of The Underworld. Cursed sicophants who were controlled by their hunger, despite what many of the long lived ones had to say. They impressed mortals with their recycled tales of greatness, while being able to be killed by something as natural as the sun. In short, they were lame. So to see Diana install one as her White King was troubling. Kelly had taken the mantle of the magick arm of Hellfire seriously. And this was a move that the witching world would never have respected. And she knew that Diana was smart enough to know that. But this was not her reality. The people looked the same, and for the most part, they acted the same. But Kelly was constantly having to navigate things blindly, and she was tiring of it. >

< So she was doing what relaxed her - working in her lab. She loved a stiff drink and finely tailored tuxedo jacket, but she was nowhere as near as happy in one as she was getting her hands on something and completely transforming it. And since she had just destroyed Ahadi and Alice, she knew she was going to have to start producing. And there was nothing more that she was ready for. Kelly was confident in her ability. Nobody could do what she did. Adam. Christopher. Alice. Ravena. They were narrow minded. They wanted to create WEAPONS. And while weapons made money, The Black Queen wanted to change the entire world. Overthrow the status quo and awaken chaos. She didn't cower to humans, they cowered to her, and sociology should reflect that. >

< As music blared over the speakers of her labroratory, her right eye was transfixed into a microscope, while her free eye guided her hand towards a petri dish in front of her. A flurry of cells and activity can be seen through the lens. The problem with the witches in this timeline is that they were all arrogant bitches. So concerned with title and presentation, that they all but hurled knowledge and reason out of the window. The more you knew as a witch, as a proper sorceress, the more you could do. Despite the many topless college co-eds chanting around a tree in Oregon, it didn't change the fact that the world was indeed just a clump of cells. And the more you could manipulate and change those cells, the more you could rule the world. She felt above gods and goddesses, which is why Hecate had turned her back on her. The magick that Kelly Shaw weaved was truly her own, and it was won fair and square. Kelly used her scientific mind to work magick that was unheard of. And it was that kind of edge that Kelly intended to use in order to 'shuffle the deck' in her favor. Morgan Victoria was Sorceress Supreme because everybody was scared of her. Because for some reason Morgan seemed to be able to just force people to bow to her, to think her success was their own. Those witches were stupid and would be easily taken care of once Kelly began to her ascencion to the mantle. >

< She grabbed a syringe to her left and moved it towards the petri dish, squinting in concentration for a moment. >

"And........."

She began to count the seconds until the entire scape of the lens in the microscope shifted, swirling in purpled hued sparkling energy. A devious smiled curled up in The Black Queen's lips.

"We have liftoff.."

< These witches didn't know what was coming. Nobody took her name seriously. But they would. Because Kelly understood her place here. She could easily figure out the situations unfolding in front of her, and she was using that to her advantage. She wanted to send a message to Alison, Morgan and Karen that she was here to play, and that they better be ready to face them. And by way of her omni sight, she suddenly realized that today would be the day she would declare war with the witches. Helena and Diana were playing their part, and it was time for her to as well. >

< She pulled back from the microscope and reached for her garter belt, grabbing her Pistol and placing it on the table. Unloading the chamber she began to pull out the bullet cartridges, all of which were empty. The Six and The Birds of Prey were coming to play and she wanted to make sure she had something for each of them. >

"These bitches have no idea what they're walking into..."

< Kelly laughed as she moved the now glowing petri dish and poured it into the glass chamber of one of her bullets, it now glowing with a humming purple energy. One by one, she loaded each bullet, replacing it in the chamber and slipping the barrel back into the hilt of her garder belt. >

< She would help Helena destroy The Birds of Prey, and she would make sure to make good use of her son while The Six made their futile attempt at rescuing Ava and Haleigh. If they turned their backs on Hellfire, Kelly would kill them both herself. She had a message to send, and that message was that The Black Queen was ready to play. >

"Wait! What is that?!"

< The Black Queen was alerted to a scuffle in Helena's Quarters. Somebody was attacking her with a knife. Somebody with the same exact power set of Mystique but looked starkly different. The Black Queen's cobalt blue eyes squinted, focusing on the girl but not being able to make her out. Either way, Kelly was not about to let whoever this bitch was get the best of Helena. >

"Amanda. To The Red Queen's Bedroom at once. She's being attacked and her Knight is a troglodyte. Now! And make a Black Guard presence in The Red Wing immediately...and hold for my signal on the other matter."

< Her Knight knew what she was talking about and was ready to do what was necessary in order to protect her Queen. Kelly was excited. It had been awhile since she had gotten her own pound of flesh. Asserting dominance was perfectly healthy. Kelly left her lab, her whereabouts unknown. >
 
She was awake, and she had remembered his dream. Now that Lord Ravena was dead, he could finally reach her dreams. For days he had tried to help her, only to watch The White King warp his warnings, his messages, before she could receive them. But she had gotten this one and Cameron had never felt better about anything in his entire life. He missed her so much. He wanted to jump out of his skin. But mostly, he just wanted to take Haleigh in his arms and hold her until he died. Sleeping with her had been the best worst thing he had ever done in his life. He would never be satisfied by anybody else. He would never know esctacy if he wasn't with her. He didn't care. That Diana was her mother. That Morgan was her sister. It just didn't matter to him anymore. Their timing had never been right. But it was now. And they were wasting it being separated.

"I love you, Haleigh..."

He tried to will into her consciousness. She was of clear mind. Diana had to be asleep. She wasn't being possessed. It made him want to weep. It was the worst thing Diana could have done. It meant that Haleigh was this close to death. But right now she had freedom, and he was so happy for her. He wished he could tell her. She checked in on Alek and Persephone, and they were talking peacefully, which caused Cameron to feel sick. He couldn't let Ava stay there. Not for Haleigh. And definitely not for Alek. He knew nothing of the man, and that said something to Cameron. Who was he to try and be claiming Ava Cassadine as his one true love? He was nobody. And he didn't want Ava ruining her life to satisfy the needs of Persephone. Haleigh's eyes darted to the left to another security feed and his mind followed her. It was Helena in bed with another woman.

"I will never have as much fun as that woman has.."

Cameron shook his head as he coult tell that Haleigh was worried. Whoever was in bed with Helena was trying to kill her. His eyes focused through her eyes, trying to see that feed as clearly as she could because he refused to believe what he was seeing.

"Oh my god. It's ALEXIS. ALEXIS QUARTERMAINE!"

How the HELL could they not have known Alexis was here?! Surely Ororo wouldn't have kept something like that from them. He tried to convince himself that it was all some kind of a coupe. But it wasn't. He could sense her energy. He KNEW her energy. It was Alexis Quartermaine. His pulse quickened. He had never gotten over her death. He never forgave himself or her for not being there when she died. When she was being manipulated. He could have saved her. There was nobody's death that Cameron blamed more on himself than Alexis. Sure, they liked to tell him that she wasn't dead. That somehow that god foresaken statue in Limbo was somehow a monument. It was a gravestone. Cameron hated it. But he was also not about to tell anyone about it either. This was it. This was the moment. Nobody in the fucking universe was expectiing Alexis Quartermaine to show up. There would never be a more perfect moment.

Cameron gave the signal and before long, The Six was assembled before him in the very conference room he had just informed them of his plan to save their teammates. They were ready to lay waste to Hellfire. He did not hesitate with his instruction.

"We are hittiing them from all sides. Delilah has been in contact with The Birds of Prey, they are forming a similar attack on the mansion. One that we will use to our advantage."

[seriously]

"Our objective is to extract both Ava and Haleigh from Hellfire and to execute a hit on Diana. Everyone else in Hellfire is fair game. Its time we show them what happens when you threaten The Six. You get a clear shot? You take it."\

[turning to the group]

"Blaze and Morgan, you'll head up The White Wing. Delilah and myself will head for Red, and Cass and Nicolas will will go to The Black Wing. Remember we want to disorient them. So don't hesitate to make mess. And guys?"

"I love you. Let's go get our girls. Morgan we'll go on your move."

And in an instant they were all in place. Inside The Hellfire Mansion. Cameron looked at Delilah with a bedazzled look.

"Delilah...I think I saw Alexis. I know. It's crazy. But who the fuck knows at this point. Keep a look out. Help me prove I'm not crazy. If she wants out, we get her out..."

He began to move through the Red Wing.
 
The Parthenon - Delilah's Suite

Zach called Delilah, to let her know that his team was set to attack the Hellfire Mansion. It gave her the opportunity to tell him about the kill team "decision". He was relieved, but she made sure to temper Zach's expectations. There was no guarantee Haleigh and Ava wouldn't be taken out during the mission.

Zach: (Into the phone)“Yeah, Morgan’s always been headstrong, but it’s a relief if the rest of you have reconsidered.”

Delilah scoffed.

[into the phone] "We weren't considered at all."

She promised to let him know when Cameron gave them the signal.

"We're splitting up once we're inside: two of us taking each of the White, Red and Black wings."

Zach: (Into the phone)“We might see each other soon, then. Text me, or I’ll text you when we leave. Good luck, Delilah.”

[into the phone] "Take care of yourself, Zach."

She didn't have to wait long until Cameron called them to assemble again in the War Room.

Cameron: "We are hitting them from all sides. Delilah has been in contact with The Birds of Prey, they are forming a similar attack on the mansion. One that we will use to our advantage. Our objective is to extract both Ava and Haleigh from Hellfire and to execute a hit on Diana. Everyone else in Hellfire is fair game. Its time we show them what happens when you threaten The Six. You get a clear shot? You take it."

Delilah looked towards Morgan, Blaze and Nicolas. She was pretty sure they would take a shot that wasn't clear. But it wouldn't do any good to say anything know: if her words hadn't had any effect in the weeks leading up to this? They wouldn't now either.

Cameron: "Blaze and Morgan, you'll head up The White Wing. Delilah and myself will head for Red, and Cass and Nicolas will will go to The Black Wing. Remember we want to disorient them. So don't hesitate to make mess. And guys? I love you. Let's go get our girls. Morgan we'll go on your move."

She tapped on her phone, alerting Zach.

[via text] "Deploying now. Good hunting."

And then, with just the opening of a stepping disc, she and Cameron were in the Red Wing.

Cameron: "Delilah...I think I saw Alexis. I know. It's crazy. But who the fuck knows at this point. Keep a look out. Help me prove I'm not crazy. If she wants out, we get her out..."

"What? Where?"

She looked around, but didn't see anyone.

What he meant was, Haleigh saw her.

She bristled a little in remembering that he was seeing what she saw.

"Your mind is playing tricks on you, Cameron. If Alexis wasn't still a perch for birds in Limbo, Ororo would have contacted us. Stay focused on the goal."

Malice.

The Clocktower

Zach excused himself to make his calls, and Vivica spoke to Mina about what they would need. Zizi picked at some food, but it all tasted like sand to her.

A short time later, Zach returned.

Zach: “It sounds like the Six are gearing up soon, but Delilah doesn’t know when, yet. They’re waiting for something. It seems like they’re wavering on what their plan should actually be. Maybe the kill teams didn’t sit well with enough of them in the end. I think if they see us there, it’ll encourage them to focus on the real enemies, and saving Haleigh and Ava will get exponentially more likely.”

"The more of us there are the better a chance we'll have."

He relayed the Six's plan to them.

"If the Six are splitting among the three wings, we attack through the front door: draw out their troops and leave the Six to keep their Inner Circle busy. They'll be expecting us, but maybe we can give the Six the element of surprise. Once we get through the initial assault, split into two teams and search for Black Widow and Persephone."

Ashley: "I call Zach's team!"

"Yes, obviously. Recall, Steel & Titan, you three stick together as well."

At that moment, a large screen at Zizi's workstation came to life. Mina's face could be seen in closeup, clearly calling via her phone.

Mina: "Oracle? Oracle, are you reading me?"

Zizi pushed away from the dining table and wheeled over to the workstation.

"Yes, Mina, we hear you."

Mina: "I'm on coms as well."

Mina turned her head in frame so they could see the earpiece.

Mina: "I'm in the car now. I have the items for the spell Recall indicated. I'll install myself on the roof of the adjacent building to the mansion."

Zizi saw Danny arriving at the main entrance of the Clocktower, and pressed a button to allow him to come up.

"We'll be there shortly. Citadel just arrived. We are coordinating our attack with the Six."

Mina audibly and visually sighed, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Mina: "Well that's not likely to cause difficulties, is it. But very well."

"Be careful, you don't want to be spotted."

Mina: "Nothing to worry about. I've brought backup."

She flashed a stoppered vial in front of the camera, which Zizi knew contained her own blood. Zizi shivered.

Mina: "I'll get things set up and wait for your signal."

"Copy that Mina."

The video feed went dark as Mina hung up the call. She turned back to the group.

"If anyone wants to back out, then now is the time."

She looked around at each face.

"Then, Danny, if you please?"

And calling on Citadel's marvelous power, the six of them were gone from the Clocktower and emerged at the Hellfire Mansion.

Zizi turned back to the wall of screens, and got herself ready to hack into Hellfire.
 
Hellfire — The White Queen’s Chambers

Cameron: I love you, Haleigh...

His voice was in her head, the memory strengthening and steadying her. Haleigh stared at her mother from several feet away. She was trying to think, as quietly as possible, of what to do. She reached out with a shaking hand and manifested a power suppression collar around her mother’s neck, just like she had done to her sister the night before. The Mystech collars each unlocked via a designated key fob, but Haleigh scrambled the code on this one to something random and unassigned.

She breathed again, knowing that she’d bought herself some time. Her mother still didn’t wake up, miraculously. Dead to the world, a turn of phrase Haleigh was eager to make a reality, but a reckless attack would threaten success. She had to think it through, seize the opportunity and not squander it.

Currently security would be focused on the attack on Helena, but that would be a Red response only. Once Haleigh assaulted Diana, a second alarm would be raised, and that would likely be enough to set the whole mansion on alert, making escape a challenge. Haleigh could murder a powerless Diana faster than anyone could get to her, but then there was the matter of getting to Seph and getting her out. She’d probably have to try and convince Alek to bail too, or Seph would refuse to leave.

She could just put a bullet in her mother’s brain, but she wanted to wake her mother up, she wanted to deny Diana a quick and painless death. Malice didn’t deserve to leave the world in her sleep. Haleigh wanted to be the last thing her mother saw. But she had to be ready, as soon as the bitch was dead, to get to the Red Wing. In the back of her mind the feeds from the Red Wing were playing, and she focused on them again, to see if Alek and Seph had gone to help their Queen.

Haleigh’s heart stopped when she saw who was creeping in the halls. Cameron and Delilah in Red, Nic and Cass in Black, Blaze and Morgan in White. They would trigger an intruder alert any second. Haleigh disabled it, and scrubbed the video feeds of their presence. Could she get to the surveillance room in time, and kill everyone who’d seen?

No, too late for that. The Knights had all been notified. Haleigh at least prevented the digital massage from reaching the White Queen. There was more, though. The Birds of Prey were knocking down the front door, and Haleigh sensed Zizi hacking into the systems.

She made no effort to repel or stymie Oracle. This was a coordinated attack, and she had never been prouder of her family and friends than she was in this moment. It was time to turn on Hellfire, and not a moment too soon.

When she realized where Cameron and Delilah were going, it threatened to tear her in two. She knew him too well, knew in her gut that Cameron wanted to make good on his threat to cut Seph from Ava’s body. It had to be his opening attack, the only reason he wasn’t here shredding Diana’s mind. Haleigh needed to get there ASAP for her sister’s sake. At the same time, she would probably never get another opportunity to kill her mother that was as good as this one. If she let her mother live, she risked being controlled by her again. She didn’t doubt her mother would find a way out of the collar once she woke.

But her sister was in danger now, and stepping in to save her meant going right up against the ones she loved. If her mother woke and took control of her while they were here, she’d likely go down as a traitor and at best get overwhelmed and killed before she could really hurt any of them. Yet her sister had come here, and suffered through hell with her. She hoped she’d done enough to make her family prepared to kill her. If she kept her mind, she’d just act in self defense. If Malice made her Scion again, they’d likely need to kill her.

She sent Seph a text message. Heads up! It said, and then she sent a screen shot of Cameron and Delilah outside her door. She left Malice alive and asleep, the lucky fucking bitch, disappearing to cross the Hellfire mansion with the speed of a text message. She reappeared in the Red Wing, right behind Cameron. She pressed her foot into the back of his knee, causing him to begin to kneel, and threw her arms around him, pinning his arms to his sides. She knew Delilah was there, in her peripheral vision, but couldn’t bear to look at her. She kept her focus on Cameron, her chin on his shoulder.

“I love you Stud, but I can’t let you do this. Persephone has sacrificed too much for me.”
 
Persephone laid with Alek, the soft crackling of the fire paired with his steady breathing finally lulling her to sleep. It was short lived however, Persephone's phone vibrating against the hardwood floor loudly making her open her eyes with a start. Almost in unison, Alek's phone began to vibrate as well which was never a good sign. Persephone sat up, looking at Alek with a concerned expression before she reached for her phone and saw a text from Haleigh. Her concern was immediately replaced by confusion, then shock. As Persephone opened the text, she saw Haleigh's message along with a photo of Cameron and Delilah outside in the hall.

"Shit."

They were finally doing it. They were attacking Hellfire. Persephone quickly got to her feet, tucking her phone into her back pocket as she crossed the room quickly to her dresser drawers.

"The Six are here, two of them in the red wing."

Persephone opened her drawer, unfolding a black velvet cloth that covered her transfiguring whip disguised as a beautiful snake cuff bracelet. She quickly put it on, looking back at Alek. She knew that they were here on a rescue mission, but she also knew that Cameron made it very clear that he was going to tear Persephone from Ava's psyche the last she had seen him. With Cameron, she knew that was no idle threat, and she knew that he was coming for her. However there was some solace in the situation; Delilah was with him, which meant she was not going after Haleigh. The situation between Haleigh and Delilah had gotten so bad, Persephone knew Delilah wouldn't hesitate to hurt her sister. She and Alek needed to get to Haleigh and leave Hellfire immediately.

"We need to go."

Persephone moved with a purpose, grabbing Alek's hand as they made their way to her chamber room door. Upon opening it, she saw Haleigh holding Cameron from behind, forcing him to stay on his knees. It was Haleigh, not Scion, and Persephone's stomach flipped at the sight.

"Haleigh!"

But then her eyes flicked to Delilah, knowing the mutant would attack Haleigh without a second thought for grabbing Cameron. Before Persephone could even think, she defensively swung her arm in the air toward Delilah, her cuff morphing into her transfiguring whip and wrapping around Delilah's neck. She pulled the whip taut, pulling Delilah away from Haleigh and Cameron.

"Alek, GO! Get to Diana and kill her before she takes control of her again!"
 
The Red Wing

Cameron led them to where Ava was. Or, apparently, Persephone. Though being she had known them both separately, she wasn't sure which one was the worse option. They stood outside the door. Delilah smirked at Cameron.

"So, you going to knock or what?"

Before they could act, Haleigh suddenly had Cameron pinned.

Haleigh: “I love you Stud, but I can’t let you do this. Persephone has sacrificed too much for me.”

Oh, this bitch.

"You love him?! Please. Then how about you stop this bullshit and we all the get the hell out of here? Give it up, Haleigh."

Delilah gave her a second, just one, to let Cameron go. And then she raised her hands...

And something long and thin like a snake coiled around her neck, choking her. Ava! She found herself pulled towards her and away from Haleigh.

Ava: "Alek, GO! Get to Diana and kill her before she takes control of her again!"

So this Haleigh was acting under her own free will, by her sister's own admission! Delilah pulled at the whip at her throat, croaking out in exasperation.

"Come on, we all want the same thing. Stop being so fucking stubborn!"

No one wanted to kill Malice more than her, except maybe Cameron. Maybe.

Delilah transformed herself into a ray of light, slipping out of the noose and forming up again on the other side of Ava. She raised her hands, and this time a giant hand made of white light manifested in front of her. It grabbed Haleigh and threw her away from Cameron, then swiveled towards Ava, coming down on her as if to squash her into the ground.
 
The Red Wing - Persephone's Suite

Having Seph against him was so calming, that finally Alek did manage to fall asleep next to the fire. It was only fated to be a cat nap though (who the hell thought up that abominable term?), because he felt Seph jolt awake and then his phone was buzzing like a chainsaw.

Fuck fuck shit shit hell.

Helena was being attacked in her suite, and the mansion itself was under attack. He fired off orders:

One to the Red Guard, to send everything they had to the Red Wing, with half sent to Helena's room to deal with this mysterious attacker, the other to set up a perimeter blocking the intruders' access to the Red Wing. Once the Queen was secure, a platoon was to head to the entrance to repel the attackers.

The second to Mystique, for her to go to their Queen's aid immediately. Why she had left her after his order the night before, he would interrogate her about later.

Seph had received her own text, but it wasn't a copy of his own as he had originally thought.

Seph: "Shit. The Six are here, two of them in the red wing."

"Go with them. I'll cover your escape."

And make sure I'm still in a position to protect you if this all goes south.

Seph was digging in a drawer, and then pulled out a bracelet he knew was her whip.

Seph: "We need to go."

She grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the door. When it opened, they saw Haleigh with a hold on Prophet of the Six, while his teammate MorningStar stood by. His mind calculated. Had they attacked Scion, or had Scion attacked them? Seph made the decision for them, encircling her whip about MorningStar's throat.

Seph: "Alek, GO! Get to Diana and kill her before she takes control of her again!"

Um, what?

He wanted to get Seph to safety, not commit suicide. Plus, he had promised himself not to leave her in danger again. What if these assholes did something to her while he was gone? And if he tried to kill Diana and failed, Seph would be dead instantly. Malice could do that from wherever she was in the mansion.

"No, you come with me, I'm not leaving you behind."

He started to move away, gesturing for Seph to come, but then the blonde had attacked Haleigh and was about to deal a blow to Seph.

He rushed forward, and raised his arms, pressing against the force of the giant hand as it slammed down. He growled through gritted teeth.

"I wanted you to save her, not try and kill her!"

Ashley had clearly brought the wrong friends with her. Once Seph was clear he pushed off and rolled out of the way before regaining his feet, as the hand smashed to the floor. Alek glared at the two interlopers. He picked up one foot and stomped the ground, shaking the stone floor beneath the Six's feet like a mini earthquake.
 
The Clocktower to the Hellfire Mansion

Steel had always loved the buildup to the mission. The feeling of adrenaline as the final preparations were made, and everyone was put in place. And then, that first strike when everything kicked off.

He had made sure, to have a private word with Zizi, when the others were occupied. If we fail, if they come for you, there's a way out. He told her about the door in the quarters Zizi had given Isis. The one that went straight to the Parthenon. He didn't want to betray Isis' confidence, but he himself felt betrayed. By her, by Sharon, by Alycia. They should be here, with the team, and instead they had fucked off. Yeah, Isis was at the Sanctuary, which needed her. But she had influence on the other two, and had refused to use it. They hadn't even picked up his calls or returned his texts.

So if they had to leave Zizi here, alone, he was sure as hell going to give her the best shot he could. And hadn't the whole point of the door been so they could attack Hellfire? Go in guns blazing? Well, that's what the birds were doing.

Citadel got them to the Mansion. Like the others, Steel carried the EMP grenades Zizi had made. Just in case. Steel had a feeling they were going to need them. And he would decidedly not feel bad about it. They might be here to capture Black Widow and Persephone, but that didn't mean it had to be gentle.

Zizi's plan was sound, even if it did make them at once the bait and the cleanup crew. But Steel planned to do as much damage as he could, no matter who it was that was coming at him, Queen or foot soldier.

They hurried up the steps to the main door, his body melting to organic steel. He paused.

Zizi [via com]: "Steel, Breach."

Steel plowed through the door, breaking it into pieces as he went and tossing it aside to clear a path for the others.

[via com] "We're in."
 
The Clocktower to the Hellfire Mansion

Ashley detested the way that Zach said "Delilah". That bitch was spending way too much time on the phone with her fiance. She might have to suffer a horrible accident in the midst of this battle, yes she just might.

Zizi was making the teams, and she raised her hand quickly to call her and Zach as a team. Not only was she not about to leave him in the Hellfire Mansion alone with Haleigh, Ava AND Delilah about, but also they had been talking lately about tag teaming their enemies and she wanted to try it out.

Mina: "Oracle? Oracle, are you reading me?"

Ashley groaned. Her favorite sightless wonder, right up there on the screen.

Zizi: "Yes, Mina, we hear you."

"Yeah, and we can see you too."

Mina went on about how she was going to be nice and safe next door while the rest of them were actually fighting. Miss Prim and Proper would probably be sipping tea while she did absolutely nothing to help them. Ashley snorted at the thought.

Danny had arrived, who Ashley didn't know, but Zach did, and that was enough for her to trust him to get them to the mansion. Which he did, in a way she'd never traveled before. She took position to one side of the door, taking cover so Steel could breach the door. She reached back and touched the dragon tattoo on the back of her neck for luck, then she drew her sword. Steel breached the door alright, by smashing through it with his body. Which was awesome. The wreckage was phenomenal - she could just see Helena's face at the sight of her precious mansion in ruins. It made her smile as she followed him inside the mansion.

Ashley moved ahead of Steel as soldiers rushed into the entryway and came towards them. Her face melted away to reveal a skull with hollow eye sockets.

Ashley pointed the way forward with her sword, rallying her army - even if they were only five instead of five thousand. She turned her face on those soldiers coming for them, pushing out with her power at maximum force.

You can't win. It's hopeless.

Troops scattered. Some turned their guns on themselves. Ashley leapt towards the fray, and the enemy was engaged.

The sound of gunfire erupted, but not from in front of them. She turned to look as she plunged a sword up and under the breastplate of a guard in black.

Bishop: "You didn't think I was going to let you have all the fun, did you?"

He laid down a blanket of automatic weapon fire into the crowd of soldiers, sweeping back and forth with a hail of bullets.

Ashley smirked.

"Nice gun."
 
The War Room

The six of them had assembled in the War Room. Cameron outlined the plan. Nicholas didn't understand why Morgan wasn't doing it, why suddenly she was allowing Cameron to take her team over, but he didn't say anything.

Cameron: "We are hittiing them from all sides. Delilah has been in contact with The Birds of Prey, they are forming a similar attack on the mansion. One that we will use to our advantage."

That was good. He could do a lot of damage while those amateurs kept Hellfire busy. He just hoped they wouldn't all die in the process.

Cameron: "Our objective is to extract both Ava and Haleigh from Hellfire and to execute a hit on Diana. Everyone else in Hellfire is fair game. Its time we show them what happens when you threaten The Six. You get a clear shot? You take it."

"Amen."

He watched Morgan, waiting for her to interject, but she just let Cameron continue on. It wasn't a bad pep talk, by any means, and it's not that Nicolas begrudged it of Cameron. It's just that it felt...weird.

Cameron: "Blaze and Morgan, you'll head up The White Wing. Delilah and myself will head for Red, and Cass and Nicolas will will go to The Black Wing. Remember we want to disorient them. So don't hesitate to make mess."

He smiled at Cass, and held up a hand for a high-five.

"Alright, girl, let's get some!"

He leaned in to her.

"Stay behind me, then do your thing."

Cameron: "Morgan we'll go on your move."

He walked over to Morgan. He gave her a tentative smile.

"Be safe."

He leaned in to kiss her cheek, for luck, then slung his axe over his shoulder, before hopping into a stepping disc and the unknown.

---

He trusted that Morgan had deposited them where they had planned, so this must be the Black Wing. It seemed dark, so he supposed it probably was so.

There was chatter on the coms. Haleigh and Ava were in the Red Wing, and Cameron and Delilah were engaging them. That meant he had free rein.

With a battle cry he rushed forward, slamming his axe into walls and columns, ready to bring this fucking place down. Troops dressed in black soon flooded the hallway. He buried his blade into the closet forehead, then stretched out his free hand, knocking the others backwards off their feet with his TK. More were coming. It was two against fifty.

He liked the odds.

The War Room

Blaze hugged Morgan as she entered the War Room.

"I talked to Mom, she and Mike are good. They'll be on their toes, though, just in case. I think she was about this close to coming back and joining the battle herself."

Even if she did think Haleigh and Ava had made their beds and needed to lie in them.

Blaze smiled at her sister, and squeezed her hand. Cameron gave the set up, and Blaze was looking forward to it just being her and Morgan. It would be like old times.

She was proud of Morgan, the way she could be a leader without saying a word. And of Cameron too, the way he was holding everything together despite not knowing what they would find when they did get to Haleigh. Blaze gave him a hug, and Nicolas and Cass too.

"Take care of yourselves out there. See you on the other side."

She watched them each in turn enter one of Morgan's stepping discs, before hopping into one herself. She and Morgan were in what was clearly the Hellfire Mansion, and clearly the White Wing. This was where Malice ruled, and it sickened Blaze. The woman was the nemesis of her adopted mother, and Blaze would like nothing more than to do Karen the favor of killing her.

“Now what?”

Hellfire — Aqua Ring

Heidi was in the midst of her early morning swim, in the center tank now. The cephalopods were a bit lethargic, but happy, having feasted on the remains of some of the Red Guardsmen who’d fallen to Scion the night before. They’d deftly peeled all the flesh from the bones, and Heidi was fishing the bones from the bottom of the tank to add to the underground halls of the catacombs.

When she surfaced with another net full, Jack leaned over the mezzanine railing and shouted down to her that her phone was going haywire. She sighed and drifted up to the deck on a column of water. She set the net down on a desk and reached towards her phone, the water on her hand beading backwards so she wouldn’t get the device wet.

Intruders in the White Wing, identified by security as Spellbinder and Firebird, two of the Six. Unexpected, but it wasn’t anything they couldn’t handle. The White Guard was well trained and didn’t need micro-managing. They would head straight to rouse the Rook and Bishop, who would lead them against the enemy, to capture or kill. Scion was in with the Queen, and under Malice’s control would be no doubt standing by her side and protecting her, which meant Heidi could head off the intruders at Malice’s door, or if they were going into the Princess’ suite, she could trap them there.

Heidi evaporated from the mezzanine into a steam form that travelled rapidly through the ventilation system and poured out into the end of the White corridor. She collected, still in steam form, in front of her Queen’s door like a thick fog filling the space. The two women were about fifty feet down the hall, when one asked the other ‘Now what?’ as they crept down the hall, coming ever closer to the end. Heidi returned to human form very suddenly as they neared and it became obvious they were headed her way.

“Are you two Girl Scouts here to sell cookies?”
 
Persephone knew that if Haleigh was freed of Diana, it meant that Diana was in a vulnerable state. THIS was the time to strike, and the person who she trusted the most to do it was Alek. So as she restrained Delilah, she yelled for him to go before they lost this vital opportunity. She wouldn't lose her sister to Diana again. She wouldn't see that shell of a person again.

Alek: "No, you come with me, I'm not leaving you behind."

She couldn't leave Haleigh with Cameron and Delilah. She still didn't know if they were there to rescue or kill them. So she hoped that whoever was tasked to go to the White Wing from The Six was strong enough to either keep Diana distracted enough from taking control of Haleigh, or outright kill her. But her choice was made, and she was not leaving her sister or Alek.

Persephone nodded to him in that moment as she held Delilah with her whip, looking him in his eyes with sincerity.

"We stick together."

They were a team. They had been a team since she had arrived at Hellfire, and she wouldn't leave his side again.

Delilah: "Come on, we all want the same thing. Stop being so fucking stubborn!"

Persephone looked from Alek to Delilah as she struggled to pull the whip from her throat.

"Tell that to Cameron! He came here to tear me apart!"

It was then Persephone stumbled as the whip went slack, Delilah disappearing in a ray of light and reappearing beside her. She manifested a giant hand of light, slapping Haleigh away from Cameron before it came toward her, ready to smash her. Alek quickly stepped in front of Persephone, taking the brunt of the force and pushing it back.

Alek: "I wanted you to save her, not try and kill her!"

Persephone's brows furrowed, but she didn't have time to process what that meant. Instead once Alek dove out of the way, he rolled to his feet and stomped the floor, creating a shockwave that headed toward Cameron and Haleigh. Persephone turned to Delilah, winds beginning to whip around the corridor as she grabbed Morningstar and slammed her into the opposing wall. It wasn't an attack, it was a plea to Delilah to get Haleigh OUT.

"Take her! Hate her, but TAKE HER and GO, Delilah!"

Persephone's body engulfed in the high winds, reappearing next to Alek and grabbing his hand as a unified force, the winds funneling around them both as a protective barrier.
 
The Clocktower to the Hellfire Mansion

Everything started happening really quickly after he got off the phone with Delilah. He told the crew what he’d heard, and Zizi started rallying them all. Zach nodded when he received his part, smiling warmly as Ash volunteered to be on his team. Zach grabbed a hard sided suitcase from a stash in Ash’s old closet and started putting on his battle armor. Everyone was gearing up as Mina checked in and Danny showed up.

“Thanks for coming, Dan.”

Zach said, shaking his hand before sinking into an armchair to lace up his steel-toed combat boots. Zach buckled on a gun belt with a couple of pistols, backup weapons for him and Ash, just in case. If there was one thing Haleigh had taught him, it was to never go into an op without a backup weapon. Danny brought them right up to the front door of Hellfire, and Steele smashed through it like a glorious wrecking ball.

“Well alright.”

He said with a dash of humor as he followed Ash through the fresh hole. The welcoming committee showed up strong, but then almost immediately doubt and fear started to ripple through them. Zach added his efforts to what Ash was doing, turning that ripple into a wave, and pushing it even further, around corners to effect enemies they couldn’t even see yet, but he could sense them there.

The men in front of them were tripping over themselves and falling down to get away. Reddish energy crackled down Zach’s arm as he started to form baseball sized spheres of pure distilled rage, throwing it at stragglers. Then none other than Bishop was there, spraying bullets down the hall and tossing a line at Ash, who replied that he had a ‘nice gun’. Zach’s gaze slid over to look at Ash first, then Bishop.

“Yeah, just try not to blow your whole load right away.”

He interjected, trying to keep the jealousy out of his tone. He didn’t like the way Bishop was looking at Ash, nor did he care for the not-so-subtle attraction Max had for her. Not just that, but the guy had cheated on Delilah with Haleigh, he CLEARLY had no respect for established relationships. Zach might’ve even punched Max, one good time for Delilah’s sake, but they had bigger fish to fry. He held himself back and turned to Ash.

“You lead the way to the Red Wing, babe.”
 
Hellfire to Clocktower


Zizi assured her that Mina was in on the plan to help, and that brought Vivica a bit of comfort, but she still wasn't resolved to be the one that helped Mina perform the spell. It was a bit too close to home. She really didn't care whether or not Ava lived or died. Not after what she had done to Simon. Her own shit she couldn't have gotten over, but Simon had helped her when nobody else was helping her. He spent time with her, listened to the woman whimper in her sleep, played everything at her pace, and she had tossed him like a sack of garbage to the curb. Worse she had tried to kill him. She wanted to believe that if she had the chance to take Ava out, she would restrain herself, for Zach's sake. But she couldn't make that promise. Ava Cassadine was a tsunami of pain and sorrow to anyone who encountered her.

Zach got off the phone with Delilah.

Zach: "It sounds like the Six are gearing up soon, but Delilah doesn't know when, yet. They're waiting for something. It seems like they're wavering on what their plan should actually be. Maybe the kill teams didn't sit well with enough of them in the end. I think if they see us there, it'll encourage them to focus on the real enemies, and saving Haleigh and Ava will get exponentially more likely."

Vivica furrowed her brow. She had listened in on his conversation with her enhanced hearing. She clearly heard Delilah say that Cameron King was taking point and the kill teams were dead. But Delilah didn't trust Morgan, and with good reason. Vivica had her own encounter with Morgan in Limbo recently, one where she was coerced into seeing things from Morgan's side. She had felt it to be healing at first, but in reality she knew that Morgan just needed a win, and if she could swoop in and be Vivica's "savior" it would help her deal with the team. Vivica knew Morgan well. Not as well as Cameron, but she had worked with her on a professional and personal level for years - she didn't give a true fuck about Vivica. None of them ever really did. And she was done playing their game.

Once Zizi had firmed things up, Danny arrived and the team was teleported to The Hellfire Mansion in a very unique way. It was so simple. One moment they were standing in The Clocktower, the next they were standing in front of The Hellfire Mansion, instantly. It was cool.

Oracle: "Steel, Breach."

And boy did he ever. Vivica admired John so much, and there was so much mystery to him as well. She had never met a more well mannered man in her life, or at the very least one she wanted to ravage. She had not had the best luck with other people of color when it came to supers. Alycia was a bitch. Isis was a bitch. Richard was a kitten and so was Nicolas. John, she could respect.

They stormed the manor, as Vivica brandished her vibranium boomerangs from the holsters in her battle gear. For the first time she was excited. She was so sick of this place, and she wanted to take as many of them down as possible and thankfully, Ashley was making it easy for them with her power.

Steel: "We're in."

Danny: "I'll be here watching the scene. You guys need an out you let me know. I can get you out and navigate you to safety faster than any teleporter. This place might be protected by magick, but it's still in my domain. I can shift and twist as you guys like. And don't hold back. This would be a great location for a Burger King. Both the city and I enjoy a whopper."

"Let's fucking end this place."

She THREW her boomerangs in a chaotic pattern as they danced through the crowd of soldiers, slicing and dicing them as if they were butter, the blades hypnotic hums weaving throughout the space as they returned to her hands. Much of her time in Clandestine was spent in deep cover. She wore a neon wig and a short cut dress and she seduced all of Europe. She wasn't often the brute force, but when she got the chance, she didn't waste it. So much so that she barely noticed Bishop. She didn't know him but she had definitely heard him in The Clocktower. But who cared about fuck buddies right now.

Zach: "Yeah just try not to blow your whole load right away."

He turned to Ashley.

Zach: "You lead the way to the Red Wing, babe."

Soon she would be faced with Ava Cassadine. And Helena Quartermaine, likely. Two women she would very much like to see dead. She waited for Ashley to lead them.
 
Hellfire Mansion - Red Wing

Delilah: "What? Where? Your mind is playing tricks on you, Cameron. If Alexis wasn't still a perch for birds in Limbo, Ororo would have contacted us. Stayed focused on the goal."

"Delilah, she isn't a perch and Ororo didn't contact us. My God, do you think Morgan knows? Is that why she hated my plan?"

"Malice."

He felt Delilah think it. A wave rushed over his body that was pleasurable and terrifying. Cameron and Delilah had a bond that was unbreakable. He was one of the only ones who knew how truly naughty and devious and downright self destructive Delilah could be. It was marvelous. She was the female Cameron King, but less slutty. There was no one more that he wanted by his side in this moment. They deserved this. But there were things that needed to be done before they faced off with Diana, and one of those things was Persephone.

Haleigh: "I love you Stud, but I can't let you do this. Persephone has sacrificed too much for me."

"There's my girl."

She pressed her foot into the back of his knee, as he was throttled to his knees, both metaphorically and physical. He cracked a curious smile and groined through the pain. Her shin was on his shoulder, and he could feel her breath on his face. Whatever happened next, it was worth it.

Persephone: "Haleigh!"

The Red Rook immediately attacked Delilah, invoking her transfiguring whip. Cameron cracked a dissappointed but impressed smile. If she was about to be slain, she was certainly planning on going out with a bang. Cameron fought Haleigh's grasp the best he could, but she had always been physically stronger than him. That was never going to change. But strong women still had weak spots, and thankfully for Cameron, he knew what Haleigh's were. He elbowed her gut swiftly and used his agility to sweep her feet, knocking her to the floor. He pinned her to the ground from there, with all of his might, but she would soon break through.

Perspehone: "Alek, GO! Get to Diana and kill her before she takes control of her again!"

Cameron snarled.

"Alek STAY!"

He was about to mentally ensare The Red Knight as Delilah unleashed their retaliation, phasing out of the whip like a bright fucking star and laid the smackdown. Her light was beautiful. And deadly.

Delilah: "You love him?! Then how about you stop this bullshit and we all get the hell out of here? Give it up, Haleigh."

"She makes a lot of sense, Hales."

He flexed his muscles against her, his strength. She may have been stronger than him, but he still wanted her to know they were there. He wasn't going to back down to Haleigh Davidoff ever again.

Alek: "No, you come with me, I'm not leaving you behind."

The Red Knight bolstered them against Delilah's light as Cameron's face became enshrouded in shadow. Red was Cameron's specialty. It was the same color as his energy signature. Prophet's own neon red power began to flex around him in sparks and teasers towards him. Alek was too dangerous to live. Ava belonged with The Six. And he wasn't going to let some man trap her in some kind of mini version of the underworld. In short, she wasn't going to let Ava become enslaved to any kind of "Hades" ever again. That was Persephone. Not her.

Alek: "I wanted you to save her, not try and kill her!"

"This is foreplay Alek. We know what we're doing."

The Red Knight stomped the ground, sending rippling shockwaves through the area as the stone beneath them began to crack. It sent a charge of adrenaline to Prophet. Even if he failed, he was certain to get at least one legendary kill in.

Persephone came out to play as winds charged through the area, grabbing Delilah and slamming her into the wall. It was curious.

Persephone: "Take her! Hate her, but TAKE HER and GO, Delilah."

Once again, Prophet snarled.

"You let Ava go, you fucking traitor."

His face seemed covered in darkness as his eyes began to glow a bright red. He held left hand out, his muscles flexing as in an instant, his brilliant PSI Blade, shrouded in neon red psionic flame appeared at it's side. He looked at Alek, his eyes flaring as he telekinetically hurled The Red Knight against the wall in a flex of power. In a hit hard enough to send the message that he wasn't playing around.

"My beef is with YOU, Persephone. Not Ava. Don't get her tangled in your web."

He walked towards her with ease. With a silent confidence wielded his PSI Blade in any number of impressive manners. His eyes met the Goddess of The Underworld with no hesitation.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Give us Ava, let us take her out of here..and go dormant."

He stood a mere inches from her face, watching as Alek began to charge from the rubble, incensed. Prophet shot a glance.

"Down boy. This is between me and her."

His face shiffted to her.

"So what's it gonna be, Persephone?"
 
Parthenon to Hellfire

Blaze: "I talked to Mom, and she and Mike are good. They'll be on their toes, though, just in case. I think she was about this close to coming back and joining the battle herself."

"We should be so lucky."

<< Morgan was stil resentful about the whole ordeal. She had been humiliated and undercut by Cameron King and his little lap dog Delilahw as all too willing to gnaw at her bones. >>

"Our mother would blow a hole through any of these bitches. I mean really, Blaze. This whole thing is just offensive to our LEGACY!""


<< She was guiced by her magick as eldritch orbs began to ebb and flow around her. >>

"Cameron truly believe that he can defeat her on his own. SPOILER ALERT?! He CAN'T!"

<< Why had she agreed to any of this? She knew what needed to be done. She knew what they DIDN'T know. She had known that Mystique was Alexis. For quite some time. Ororo may have liked to stake a large claim into Limbo, she wasn't it's supreme ruler - Morgan was. Alexis had wore Ororo down. Had enough time to convince Ororo that she was a victim. And it worked. Alexis Quartermaine was a pathetic traitor. And Morgan knew she would try and use The Six to her advantage. So many of them HATED Morgan. OF COURSE they would listen to the rantings of a lunatic. >

"Look, Blaze. Im not being a bitch here. I wanted to do this MY way for a reason. I just need to hear you say that you have my back when shit hits the fan. Because it's going to."

Heidi: "Are you two Girl Scouts here to sell cookies?"

<< Morgan smirked giving the White Knight a decidedly unimpressed look! >>

"Bitch, I haven't eaten a cookie since 1996. I wont be tempted by you."

<< Morgam sent an eldritch wave through the hall, knocking The White Knight off her feet. >>

"Don't think for a SECOND you have the run on US,!”

<< a stepping disc manifested at her side, ready to slice and dice Heidi at any moment. Morgan was playing no games. >>

"Look you little bitch. Either I'm going to kill you and you'll die a failure, or SHE [pointing to Blaze] is gonna kill you and you'll die a failure. The choice is yours..."

<< Spellbinder was not playing games. Diana was their main objective. But she wasn't about to leave here without sending a message. And she was realllly wanting to send a message with Heidi. And by message, she meant Heidi's dead body. >>

"Come and get it ASSHOLE!"

Alek had sent an attack to distract Cameron and Haleigh, giving Persephone the opportunity to tackle Delilah against the wall. A way to 'shake' some sense into her and get Haleigh out of Hellfire while Diana wasn't controlling her.

Cameron: "You let Ava go, you fucking traitor."

Persephone's head whipped around to glare at Cameron, her eyes dark.

"I AM AVA YOU IDIOT!"

That was when Persephone disappeared in a tornado of winds, reappearing next to Alek to grab his hand. The funnel of winds surrounded them, knowing that Cameron wasn't going to let this go. Yes, Ava held the majority of the power before, but Persephone was ALWAYS apart of her - always there - just less murderous and hostile due to Ava's more balanced personality. But Ava wasn't an innocent little girl, she was a damn weapons terrorist before merging with Persephone, the two cross time alternates cut from the same cloth. Persephone goaded Haleigh before, and everyone else for that matter, flaunting that she was in control. But the reality was she NEEDED to be in order to deal with the horrendous monstrosities that needed to be done in Hellfire. Even though Ava wasn't an angel, she would have hesitated when hesitation would end up getting her and Haleigh killed.

Persephone watched as Cameron flexed his power, sending Alek flying back into the wall behind them and ripping him from her grasp.

"ALEK!"

The winds were getting stronger as Persephone's anger level began to rise. Cameron had crossed the line and Persephone was about to knock him the fuck back into it.

Cameron: "My beef is with YOU, Persephone. Not Ava. Don't get her tangled in your web."

Persephone's head slowly turned away from Alek who was recovering from the attack to look at Cameron, her eyes as black as the night. Her own hand flexed, electricity sparking between her fingers.

"You are an IDIOT if you believe I was never apart of Ava from the beginning! I am her backbone and she is my conscious, but she needed to be SILENCED in order to SURVIVE in here!"

Cameron walked forward, bridging the gap between them. They stood toe to toe, eye to eye, inches apart. His Psi Blade at the ready.

Cameron: "I'm giving you one last chance. Give us Ava, let us take her out of here..and go dormant."

Persephone never wanted to kill someone more in her life out of pure frustration.

"So says the HYPOCRITE. How dark you've become Cameron...is it because you [snarling] had to?"

Persephone heard Alek get up from behind her but didn't turn her sights away from Cameron, even when he address Alek.

Cameron: "So what's it gonna be, Persephone?"

Persephone's eyes remained even, never wavering from his. If he wanted to play hard ball, Persephone was about to knock HIM out of the fucking park. Her lips upturned into a smirk before leaning a bit more forward, tauntingly.

"Give my regards to Ravena."

The ground began the tremble and crack as Persephone screamed like a falcon, slamming the palm of her hand into Cameron's chest while simultaneously releasing a massive lightning bolt.
