Carrying on

[Rampage]

Brunch Interrupted

Nicolas knew that his words would not stop the pain, but he tried his best to ease it, let her realize that it did not have to be an end, as long as they could see each other. He realized even more how close Alison was as Morgan was taking the situation VERY hard.

He was about to speak further when Karen Victoria was introduced. he stood out of respect and nodded to her, smiling. She was absolutely radiant in her outfit and he laughed to himself as he congratulated himself on being seen with the two prettiest women in the room!!

As they were about to dine, Morgan's phone rang. They both checked their hair, all at once, a generational double-take that Nicolas found endearing and amusing all at once. HE would have to poin-

ZIP!!!

A pair of sparrows fly past WAY too close and fast, nearly hitting the pair of witches. They both give identical exasperated exclamations and Nicolas immediately hails the host as he regains his feet, nearly tipping his chair over.

The attendant checked on them and informed them discreetly that their drinks were on the house. Morgan was very gracious, but Nicolas gave the man a simple heads-up as he tipped their server.

I would try to shoo them away a bit today. They are acting far too erratically, but if you try to drive them off, be careful. Something seems not quite right.

The ride back was relatively uneventful, with Illustra business interrupting their time together, at least for the moment. As they arrived back at the building, Morgan approached the Cloud 9 truck to inform the photographer of his error. He noticed Haleigh and Zach in their truck pulling up as well. He stepped out of the vehicle, reaching back in for Karen...

On the Way to Illustra

:: Cameron was more than upset when he heard Ororo call him back and have her warn him of not having people stop or change their lives for him. He wanted nothing more than to revert back to the old Cameron, roll his eyes and stalk away but he couldn't. In his eyes, he was not acting ridiculous. Ororo had no clue of the relationship between Cameron and Haleigh. It was TWISTED yes, but he felt it earned more than a few months before someone was ready to marry another person. Especially when Cameron KNEW in his heart how she felt about him. He looked at Ororo and sighed deeply as she made her goodbyes. ::

"Again, I know I sound like a broken record, but thank you Ororo. You have given me something nobody else wanted to or COULD, a second chance, for that I am grateful. I know this might not mean much, but if YOU ever need anything, from the biggest to the smallest, let me know, and I will do anything in my power to help you out. ANYTHING..."

:: He nodded to her as she made her way out of the realm of Earth and back to Limbo, a place he eerily missed all of a sudden. The raucus of the birds was getting ridiculous as he was now left with Zach and Haleigh. This was the LAST place he wanted to be, but putting his tail between his legs, he slowly made his way to Haleigh's car and reluctantly got into the passenger seat. On the way there, Haleigh made a STARTLING statement about the whereabouts of his sister. He let out another giant sigh and wanted to crawl under a rock and cry. He thought out loud. ::

"Great.. just great! The one time I have wanted my sister more than EVER, and she has to fufill a destiny... I thought she was the only person who would understand and be NORMAL around me.. the only person I was counting on that HADN'T changed, but why the hell not!? Haleigh's married, Alison is gone! What else could go wrong? Are the birds going to take over New York?"

:: Haleigh's car soon made it's way to Illustra behind a black hummer which only meant one thing. MORGAN! She was..she HAD to be..alive! The last thing he had seen from her was her entering the Siege Perilous. He thought she was dead! Things were looking up! As everyone exited the car, instinct took over and Cameron booked it towards Morgan, WRAPPING his arms around her and hugging her with ALL of his might, quite the uncharacteristic display between them in the past. Tears fell down his eyes. ::

"Son.. of a BITCH! Morgan! YOU ARE ALIVE! I THOUGHT YOU DIED... The Siege Perilous! I thought you died! But! But! You are alive! I never thought I would be so happy to see you in my LIFE!"

:: It was probably the most ironic statement said that night since everyone assumed Cameron to be dead. He quickly gained composure and realized this might not have been the best course of action as he pulled away and looked at her teary eyed. ::

"It's me, Morgan! It's Cameron! I'm alive...again..."

:: He waited for the explosion ::

Illustra

As Nicolas opened the door for Karen and escorted her out of the vehicle, he noticed at the last second a white male in a ROBE grab Morgan, jabbering about the Siege Perilous, As he released her and stood, Nicolas grabbed him by an arm HARD and pulled him to one side. Nicolas did not recognize Cameron from the pictures and since the incident at the eatery Nicolas was QUITE protective, especially since Morgan was already upset about Alison. He shook the man vigorously as he addressed him...

Back up! What the hell is the meaning of this? Who the hell are you?! Speak quickly!

 

[Black Widow]

Haleigh's eyes just about popped out of her head, as Cameron bumrushed Morgan, pulling her into a hug and raving like a lunatic. Haleigh rushed up to referree. She may be frustrated with Cameron.... but the LAST thing she wanted to see was him eldritch blasted to oblivion. She yanked him back and threw her arms up at Morgan in a halting, 'don't hurt him' gesture. She threw him a warning glance over his shoulder as she rebuked him for an overzealous response.

"Have you LOST YOUR SENSES COMPLETELY?!"

She said, before facing Morgan again and trying to reassure her.

"Easy! He's telling the truth... it's him... It's really Cameron. [exasperated] Ororo just delivered him to me a few mintues ago.... [giving Morgan a meaningful look] While Zach and I were looking at a venue for the wedding."

Haleigh glanced at Nicolas, who was no doubt wary and surprised at the same time. She placed her hand on Nic's forearm, gently separating the two men, giving Cameron a look that said 'DONT make this harder than it is', gave Nicolas a soft smile and an introduction.

"Nicolas.... it's okay.... you two don't know each other... This is Cameron King. He was one of the founding members of the Six.... he died a couple months ago.... before you came to join us."

 

[Persephone]

:: After speaking with Morgan, she and Nicolas were on their way back to Illustra to figure out the photography session fiasco. She also informed Delilah that she wanted to meet with her as well. Excusing herself to change, Ava slipped into some dark washed low cut skinny jeans that fit perfectly to her curvy frame, a black boat neck long sleeved form fitting shirt, and black peep toe stacked heals. With her long dark brown hair already waved with curles, she simply ran her fingers through it before exiting her bedroom and meeting with Delilah in the main living area. ::

:: Reaching the lobby with Delilah, Ava could see Morgan's large stretch hummer already parked in front of Illustra. The photographer was also waiting outside. But as she got closer to the main door, another man, who exited Haleigh's car, ran up and threw his arms around Morgan, giving her a hug. Ava looked confused as she punched in the codes to unlock one of the main doors, and stepped outside into the chilly New York weather. Leaning over to Delilah, Ava softly whispered to her. ::

"Should we be concerned?"

:: Talking about Cameron of course, Ava glanced over to the photographer who was standing there silently watching Morgan and Cameron interact. Hearing Haleigh state the mystery person was Cameron King, that was Ava's cue to quickly escort Mr. Lavoisior away from the pending conversation that was about to take place. No need explaining to the photographer that Mr. King was once dead and now back again. Stepping over to him, Ava extended her hand in a professional greet before putting her other on his shoulder and ushering him a few more feet away from the conversation. ::

"Ava Cassadine. I'm sure once Ms. Victoria is done....greeting her guest, we'll figure out this mix up."

Illustra

As Nicolas prepared to escalate the situation he felt Haleigh's hand on his arm, gently easing his hold on the man in the robe. He relaxed a bit as she explained that this was the formerly DECEASED Cameron King. Nicolas then recognized him from the photos he had seen. He placed a hand on Morgan's shoulder and nodded at the man before him as he spoke. His voice was actually quite even. Nicolas had seen enough amazing things that this did not really impact him.

I apologize for my...abruptness. It's been a trying time for all of us. My name is Nicolas. If you like I can have some appropriate clothing retrieved for you.

Outside Illustra- the office park

<< as one of Morgan's long , flawless legs emerges from the stretch hummer and her white escada high heel touches the ground, Morgan slips out from the vechical and makes her way toward the mini van and river, recognizing the other vehical to be Haleigh's, Morgan doesnt immediately look but as the breeze blows and Morgan is still thinking about about those birds that nearly grazed herself and her mother at the cafe, BAM! suddenly she is accosted!>>

<< Gasp!!>>

<< she cries out as she looks to see who her assailant is...CAMERON KING!>>

WHAT!?

<< she pulls away!>>

GET AWAY!

<< shrieking with shock and disbelief as CAMERON is practically mauling her and speaking about the seige perilous. Nicolas and Haleigh rush over with Nicolas forcibly yanking Cameron away from Morgan and demanding to know who he is while Haleigh appeals to Morgan , reassuring her that this is no attack and that it IS the real cameron.>>

Ororo delivered him to me a few minutes ago...

<< Ororo wouldnt play any tricks or be a party to deceit. If SHE had brought him...then it must be him and Haleigh, as she was now, wouldnt be a party to such a terrible joke either. Cameron meant more to him than perhaps anyone else on the original six. It was so shocking..that he would appear NOW after all that had happened! it wasnt that she didnt believe in returns and resurrections..hell SHE had been rescued from oblivion herself!>>

.....

<< she looked as straightened her white versace jacket. Cameron was going on and on about death and coming back to life and while she was still processing the long absent sound of his voice, Ava and Delilah came. Ava WISELY lead the photographer away from this scene but had it been soon enough to prevent him from hearing "too much" already?>>

Cameron....returned....

<< even with her rounded rim, white, "over sized" escada sunglasses on, the expression of uncertainty and dismay could be seen on Morgan's wintery face.>>

this...this is...outrageous!

<< she said in an icy voice>>

WHY did you do this!?

You LEFT without one word! WHY did you hurt Alison like this! ALL YOU HAD TO DO was TELL US WHERE YOU WERE GOING and we might have been able to HELP YOu but NO! true to form you just had to do things YOUR WAY and caused yourself to get captured and KILLED..or so we thought. WE had to pick up the pieces at a time when the future of this team was at stake and you subjected ALISON to MORE pain than she should have had to bear.


all the pain and trauma that Alison went through...we GRIEVED WITH HER when you were thought to be dead! We endured the treachery and menacing of ERIKA and it was for NOTHING.

I'm GLAD she's not here to see this.

<< her own mind was reeling. it wasnt his RETURN that was so unbelievable. it was the fact that it SEEMED that he expected HER of all people to be GLAD to see him. She grieved with Alison when he died, she remembered how badly they started off and how she tried her best to kill him and for that she was deeply regretfull but she couldnt forget other things...mainly the way he treated most EVERY woman he came into contact with! his constant verbal abuse directed at HER. his death was horrifying news for the team...for alison...but his ABRUPT DEPARTURE was something even SHE remembered. it was right after the NERVOUS caper but just BEFORE Master Mold. He disappeared without a word, notice or explanation and it was during THAT time he must have fallen into Malice and Erika's hands. and then there was ERIKA...the woman whom he touted so much OVER Alison and SHE turned out to be just as psycho and just as no good as Kelly King. how IRONIC. If only Cameron had been here to see THAT but no doubt Ororo has read him the riot it and morgan was going to do the same...if for no other reason..than to defend Alison's character...which he had SO OFTEN assassinated.>>

You missed out, conviniently on your sleazy sister, ERIKA who prooved to be the weak, erratic, ineffective IDIOT that I always beleived her to be when she ATTACKED Alison at the reading of YOUR will in Alycia's office and threatened her life! Believe me, if ORORO hadnt killed her I was going to. SOMEONE had to have Alison's back and this team was here for her. I was here for her.

Illustra's office park

<< sitting in the stretch hummer with Morgan and Nicolas. Karen went over some information in her PDA. clients, colleague contacts and other things. she smiled at her daughter, who was sitting across from her and then Nicolas....as they finally arrived to Illustra's office park and circular drive.>>

<< Morgan exited and then Nicolas. He turned and offered her a hand.>>

Thank you, Nicolas.

<< she said with crystal elegance as she took his hand and help while exiting the vehical. JUST in time to see Morgan being rushed by a man!>>

MORGAN!

<< She turned as her eyes widened. At first glance, especially given how he was dressed, the doctor didnt readily recognize who this was but even as she exclaimed, Nicolas was upon him. Karen rushed over as Haleigh arrived and offered a SHOCKING explanation. as she leaned in and looked closer at the young man...she was RIGHT! it was Cameron King!>>

oh my stars!!!
-"samantha stevens- bewitched tv show

<< she blinked intently as she starred at the young man, narrowing her eyes for a momente as she watched her daughter's own body language. Morgan was clearly uncomfortable.>>

<< Cameron was rambling on. far more VERBAL than she remembered. SHE remembered a cocky, arrogant man who was very MUCH a womanizer and when he wasnt needlessly provoking Morgan, he was secretly checking her OUT. Karen never trusted him from the start but when she learned of his seeming death at the hands of Malice, she grieved with his team and showed her respect by attending his funeral. she offered her support to Alison during the traumatic reading of the will in Alycia's office when Erika attacked Alison and threatened her life! all the pain and the trauma that had come from Cameron's "death"...had been NEEDLESS and as Morgan reacted with indignation and shock...Karen's mind immediately shifted into therapist mode. the first thing was to get them INSIDE to a quiet, PRIVATE setting.>>

<< looking over, she saw that Ava had diverted the photographer. she turned to Haleigh and Nicolas.>>

This is not the place for THIS. this kind of revelation is too MUCH to be merely "discussed" out on the street. We need to at least move inside to the crystaline lobby.

Morgan, honey, let's come inside. It will be better for everyone if we deal with this behind closed doors.

<< she placed hand on Nicolas' back and gently moved him along while doing the same with Morgan as she directed Haleigh and anyone else involved to follow.>>

 

[Seer]

sudden change

<< with Karen's direction, Morgan takes the time to correct the confusion about the meeting with Cloud 9 and graciously sends Anton on his way. Karen then gently guides her daughter and Nicolas inside along with the others.>>

<< once in the massive crystaline lobby of Illustra, Cameron will notice that the building is thriving and that its as beautifull as it always was but many of it's inhabitants have changed. some seem jaded, others have left and there are many faces he doesnt even recognize!>>

<< on this saturday the usually silently lobby of illustra is now filled with the sound of high heels hitting the marble floor along with the foot falls of men. the group is silent..most are still trying to digest what has just been thrust upon them.>>

<< carrying on after a loss is hard enough, being confronted with yet ANOTHER curve ball in the midst of that can proove too much for some but somehow, the six, collectively have prooven to be surprisingly resilient and adaptive...just BARELY.>>
