Finding your way

[Seer]

<< as evening once again settles over the sprawling metropolis that is New York City, a whole different section of business and population takes over for the night shift. through all of the traffic and sounds of activity, Illustra stands proud and tall, surrounded by its cutting edge, visually appealing "office park" that circles the ground of the building, illuminated by blue and white lighting.>>

<< inside on the now quiet crystaline main floor...only the faint hum of power is heard as cameras carefully hidden in corners slowly turn back and forth, sweeping over the area and outside as well. going up the many floors, most are silent and closed...but a few still have activity going on. Most notably Alycia Barnett on the 99th floor, followed by the 102nd floor where Nicolas is now attempting to settle in along with Persephone on the 104th floor who has been making renovations now for about a day.>>


<< there was nothing but space and opportunity for them all, but for Alycia, she felt that the "opportunity" to make the people responsible for Sharon's death PAY for it was more important than anything else and so while others were busy on other floors of Illustra, She was busy in her satellite office.>>

 

[Persephone]

:: Stepping off the elevator onto the 99th floor, Persephone had received a rather cryptic message from a woman named Alycia Barnett to meet her in her satellite office. She had recognized Alycia's voice, pin pointing her to being one of the woman whom she met at Ororo's castle after retrieving Spellbinder. Nevertheless it intrigued Persephone as to why she needed to meet with her considering they did not know one another. ::

:: Persephone's spiked heal dug into the soft carpeting as she made her way down the long corridor leading to Alycia's office. Dressed respectably in a black dress suite, the goddess' normally waist length ebony locks were noticeably shorter and pulled back into a loose pony tail and curled. Because she hadn't associated with anyone outside of Spellbinder, it was anyone's guess who Persephone actually was. Alison, Haleigh, and Blaze got a small taste of her more condescending side when first meeting the English beauty, but first impressions could very be twisted into a preconcerted image. Or could be absolutely true. ::

:: Coming upon two floor to ceiling double doors, Persephone's smokey highlighted green eyes scanned the small gold plate that read Alycia's name. Pursing her lips together, she gently tapped her knuckles along the oak stained wood before crossing her arms to wait. ::

Nicolas' new suite - Cameron's old suite

Having gone supplies shopping and returning to Nicolas' old apartment, Blaze and Nicolas returned to Cameron's old suite. This was the suite where Nicolas would be staying now. And already hours had past as the two revamped the whole interior outlook of the room. It definitely resembled that of a rainforest with its thick jungle - like plants and small sprinkling water fountain in the center of the living room.

Standing back, Blaze took in the rest of Nicolas' new suite, "its a jungle in here." She remarked with a grin. Nodding at her approval, it seemed so tranquil here. Blaze added her own personal touches as instructed but it was mostly Nicolas' artwork that inspired her. Large exotic plants were assorted throughout the suite and plenty of other accessories to compliment this unique look.

"Mission accomplished." Blaze's assistance was helpful but even now it was her time to return to her place. "We can always keep adding little things here and there, but its definitely welcoming in here. Now you can get naked." She chuckled knowing Nicolas preferred to be bare naked.

"I must be returning to my suite soon. What else did you need?" She asked, moving to admire one of the paintings that hung in the living room. "You mentioned something of a surprise." She knew Haleigh would most likely be watching due to the surveillance camera's in Nicolas' new suite. Her keen sight locating a camera as she stared into the tiny red light. Blaze stared right back inside the camera knowing Haleigh was watching on the other end.

"Haleigh is a complicated woman, but even I love her as a sister. She's come along way from the person she once was....even I forget that. She and Alison are both so heavily guarded sometimes...its difficult to get through to them. But I know its just the same for them to get through to me. Haleigh is like an Eagle, she's high in the sky enshrouded in clouds but she can see you. I admire her for so many reasons....despite what happened tonight. It wasn't her fault and I don't blame her. She never knew the story of Gregory...nor will she ever unless I tell her. She's a survivor....but ever since Zack came into the picture I feel like I lost touch with her. I want her to be happy but I miss staying up until the early morning with her...discussing something random." Blaze looked down, recalling the memory. "She's so damn hard to read...yet I see right through her....I see what she's lost and what she must protect to keep her sanity. I wish she knew how I felt...but I doubt she'll ever know."

Stepping away from the corner of the room, she continued to speak. "And Alison is like a second older sister to me. What she revealed in Limbo was beautiful. She's a remarkable warrior, one I also admire. I wish I had her strength...her tenacity...I guess that's why I feel like an outcast. I'm some fire manipulator whose as flammable as her power. I wish I could be more stone - cold like Alison. Nothing gets to her...she's always on her game. I feel like the baby of the group anymore...the weak one."

Sitting down on the arm chair, Blaze looked down. "Delilah was right about me, I do take in "lost puppies." It bothered me because she was right on target. I blindly welcome anymore jeopardizing the team. As a telepath you can see my memories...you can see the horror I was exposed to. I killed a man when I was a teenager....he raped me....my school principal. My mother died as a result of delivering me, my father was a mad scientist, my foster families were mentally and physically abusive to me. All my life I've been locked up and shut out. When I see a person who wants a chance I remember what its like to be rejected...to be beaten until I welcome unconsciousness. I give back because I was never given a chance....I know what its like to be written off as a freak of nature or a rebellious troublemaker. I know what its like to be an outcast."

Looking up at Nicolas she watched his reaction. She was quiet now, settling into the nightlife of the city. Unaware Haleigh was still watching her like the eagle she described.

 

[Artemis]

Illustra-99th floor

:: Alycia was never one to relax...not when there was something to be taken care of. Coming back to earth, back to New York after Sharon and Morgan's deaths, and the disasters caused by Malice and Blackout, Alycia had found a new drive in herself. She no longer wished to disappear.::

:: she remembered her father and mother and how hard they worked to provide her with the opportunities she had. she remembered her father and how he died because of MysTech and how she made it her mission to destroy the insurance company that had denied him the medical care he so desperately needed.::

:: she realized shortly after returning to earth that if they couldnt bring Sharon back, then SHE could destroy anyone.. any agency who was involved in the making of master mold and that was what she intended to do.::

:: but she knew that the "money" and resources didnt lie within the state. she knew they had to many scruples and "codes of ethics." Prior to becoming the DA of NYC she had been a powerfull, lethal and FEARED private corporate attourney. It was during this phase of her career that she scored many notable and shocking company shake ups and dismantlings. It was also during this team that she had met many members of the Six outside of Morgan, Alison and Delilah. It was time for her to go back to that..back to her old self. The kind of woman who was truly RUTHLESS and intimidating. Of course, there was a danger to being CONSUMED by the desire to exact revenge as well.....::


:: Alycia had returned to Illustra, opting NOT to participate in the reunion. She had talked with the doctor and Karen understood her reasons. Alycia was now in her satellite office suite on the 99th floor. No one else was on that floor but her and she sat at her large, wrap round circular desk under concealed blue lighting.::

Cassadine Enterprises, they FRONT as a "building" and construction company in New York that services the eastern side of the United States, but they are IN FACT a global scale weapons/artillery distributor, manufacturer.


:: studying files containing starting information about a well known and "trusted" manufacturing company that had a LONG STANDING relationship with MysTech, providing Mystech with techonlogy that would make it able to topple even the united states military. it flew under the rader thanks in part to being insulated by a prominent senator named William Stryker, a rabid anti mutant/meta human politician. He used his influence and his money to push the company through various security check points set up by the SEC and financed many off shore manufacturing plants to enable smooth production of sentinels, as well as the master mold projet. ::

:: she glared at the files with a scowl on her face as she sat in her executive leather chair. wearing a simple, crisp, tailored white blouse that gave a playfull view of ample cleavage, and a blue, pin stripped tailored short skirt, along with sling back heels, Alycia looked sexy and chic even in business casual.::

:: she hadnt called Karen back since her return, nor had she bothered to call anyone else. she was too engrossed in her work. her mind was churning with the facts she had in front of her and she turned a bit in her chair and began to work on her plasma screen computer as well, typing at a high speed.::

:: an alert tone sounded off as sensors outsider her satellite office indicated the presence of a super powered being. Alycia was no idiot, she had several high end anti personnel devices designed into her office for her protection in addition to being trained in the use of small but powerfull fire arms and having received martial arts training from Delilah. She was as prepared as any normal human female could be in the presence of such powerfull beings.::

:: she looked at a monitor on her desk and saw who was waiting::

It's that new arrival, Persephone.

:: she pushed a button and Persephone could hear her voice over the intercom::

Come.

:: she sat back in her executve chair and leaned back, steepling her her two index fingers in front of her chin as she crossed her legs and waited for Persephone to enter the interior and her office.::

Have a seat, Persephone.

:: she spoke with a reasonably even tone as she looked the woman over.::

You're timing ....it wasnt the best, but I can take a break for now.

For your sake and the security of Illustra, I was asked by Alison to help you construct a background and an identiy to allow you to blend in this reality which you are now apart of.

 

[Persephone]

99th Floor / Alycia's Office

:: Alycia's voice echoed through the intercome placed next to the door, instructing Persephone to enter. Without hesitation, she pushed her way through the massive doors, striding into the large office. ::

"You wished to see me?"

:: Closing the doors to the office, Persephone turned and made her way to the chair pulled up in front of Alycia's desk. Sitting down, she immediately crossed her long legs, running her slender fingers along the hem of her skirt. Sensing the irritation in Alycia's voice, Persephone narrowed her eyes slightly, but brushed rude behavior aside once the attorney explained why she had been summoned. ::

"An identity?"

:: Adjusting herself in the large leather chair, the brunette took a rather deep breath in, contemplating the idea proposed. ::

"I suppose that is needed considering the current situation."

:: Agreeing to the plan, Persephone sat back and allowed her eyes to meet with Alycia's. With a calm expression, she lifted both her hands out gesturing in general. ::

"How is this going to work?"

 

[Artemis]

Illustra-99th floor

:: Alycia continued to lean back in her executive leather chair, noting the polished and poised presentation of Persephone. she was definately an intriguing woman, but if things were to remain "normal" around here, she'd probably end up being some mad woman just waiting to hand everyone over to Malice on a silver platter. who knew?::

:: breathing out as she moved forward in her chair to find a specific file, she finally found what she was looking for.::

yes, well this would be alot EASIER if we knew of your cross time alternate's genealogy in this timeline..a bloodline for a point of reference, but since everyone's return to Illustra, there's been little time to explore this.

:: Alycia paused.::

I surely hope Alison and the others don't make a habit of this. I'm not anyone's frickin secretary and I'd hate to have to inform them of that if they get too comfortable asking me "favors". i have my OWN agenda to attend to now.


:: sliding the document forward across the desk to Persephone. it was a file containing information and background on a woman, "Jane Doe" everything from where she was born, who her parents were, her education, employment history, driving record, voting record, credit status etc. ::

this is a personnel file. it is example of what we need to have on hand for YOU so that you appear to have ALWAYS been in this timeline. You're a wild card for the Six now because Mystech is not aware of your presence and t hey wont have any ready made defenses for you yet. THIS will allow you to function in society on the social and legal front.

Of course like the other's in the six..your information will be "hard to find" for most, and only accessed by those powerfull enough and connected enough to find it, but the bottom line is...you need to "put up a front" for the sake of appearences and security to this team.


:: Alycia was not expecting Persephone to grasp this concept right away, but she hoped the woman would not make this any more difficult than it had to be. Alycia was ALREADY compromising her integrity by using her well placed connections in the most powerfull agencies of government to do this for Persephone. it was something that only the most vital government and/or black ops agents had access to.::

 

[Persephone]

:: Reaching for the document, Persephone flipped the folder open scanning the contents of it as Alycia spoke. Nodding her head, she looked to the woman and shut the file. ::

"I will speak with Alison about this. Perhaps she will have a better insight about who my cross time alter is."

:: Placing the file back upon the desk, Persephone stood, smoothing out the front of her skirt. The meeting seemingly went well; no feathers were ruffled. But then again, Alycia gave no reasons for Persephone to become irritated or angry. It was give and take with the goddess. If people gave her respect, she would return the gesture. However if they became out of line, she would hardly hesitate to put them in their place. Unlike other members of the six team, Persephone didn't intentionally look to start fights. Nor would she easily become goaded by cattiness. But with the diversity within the team, who knew if that would change. ::

"If I find anything out from Alison I will inform you immediately."

:: Nodding to the attorney, Persephone side stepped away from the desk and made her way out of Alycia's office. Walking down the long stretch of hallway, although she had isolated herself from the others, she made a conscious effort to familiarize herself with Illustra, the team, and this timeline. ::

"Alison Marble."

:: Speaking out, a soft bell rang from the speakers placed in the ceiling above, and a computerized voice of a woman spoke out. ::

"Penthouse. 106th Floor."

:: Striding into the open elevator, Persephone tapped the 105th button and leaned back against the railing that lined the inside of the compartment. After a few moments, the doors finally dinged and opened, allowing the brunette to step out into the hallway. Walking to Alison's penthouse doors, Persephone immediately knocked. ::

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas' Apartment

Nicolas looked down compassionately on Blaze as she poured out a bit of herself.

"Do not be too hard on yourself. You provide a balance that this team requires. Who know how this all would have gone had YOU not taken in the lost puppy, as they say. At best I would not be staying here and the relationship would be FAR more strained. At worst...I hate to think of how it could have turned out."

Nicolas took the hands of the fire manipulator and pulled her to her feet.

"Come with me. There is something I want your fire to do..."

Nicolas led her to the balcony. At the center was a small dark granite monument, two feet square and four feet high, with a place on the top for a flame.

"This is a small reminder of what I am here for. It is a monument to Senator Sharon Kelly and my father, Gustav Magnusson. It needs SOMEONE to light the eternal flame, and I was hoping that you, who have been a bridge for me from my life before to now, to do the honors."

Nicolas smiled at the mutant, waiting for her response...

 

[Foxfire]

Nicolas' apartment - Balcony

As Nicolas pulled Blaze to her feet she walked with him to his own private balcony. She noticed the monument he carried to honor Senator Kelly Gustav Magnusson was lacking in a flame. A genuine smile broke over her facial expression.

"Nicolas, I'm touched you would ask me to light this monument for you. I think its a very noble thing to honor your father and Sharon. So my answer is yes."

Stepping closer to the granite, Blaze raised both palms. Her eyes cascading to her honey - yellow orbs. Her body temperature rose around herself and Nicolas.

"To Sharon and Gustav, we honor your spirits and memories. Rest in peace my friends, and although you both are gone you'll never be far from our hearts."

Blaze's hands lightened to a bright orange / red tint while she wielded her own fire power. The small flame engulfing both her hands. Hurling both hands into the elevated platform that would hold her flame. The flicker of her fire blast was shot forward with the platform wielding it harmoniously. The flame radiating almost a blue aura with a yellow backdrop. The fire quietly cracked and warmed both Blaze and Nicolas.

Blaze stared into her own fire blast, recalling how fiery Sharon fought for mutants all over the world. "Sharon will be missed, but her memory will live on forever by this flame of eternity. Your father's hard - working ethics will not go unnoticed either. This flame will signal in a way their own lively spirit they once had. Whenever you feel uncertain or lonely, this flame will remind you of two people you love, that despite the realm they now live upon they will look after you and continue to love you as if they were here with us."

Stepping back to give Nicolas room now to honor the Senator and his father. She was deeply touched at his idea to honor Sharon and Nicolas' father, it was a great moment. Blaze only wished Haleigh and Alison could see this.

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas' Balcony

As Blaze ignited the flame, at the front of the monument the granite was carved so that the light shone through it, revealing these words:

Gustav Magnusson Sharon Kelly

You will be missed, but you will never be forgotten.​

"Thank you for doing that for me Blaze. That makes the monument all the more special. It is only fitting that a member of the Six be a part of it, and for that person to be you. I hope Alison willl trust me enough to come see it one day. I trust that Haleigh has already seen it."

Nicolas stood and just watched the flame for a few moments. He then turned back to Blaze.

"I know that you said that you needed to get back, so I will hold you no further. I was hoping that maybe later we could hit your club again. I actually have a business proposal in terms of that. Also, we need to set up our schedule for therapy. But I most of all want to thank you for everything. You have been a true friend and for that, I am grateful. Never forget, if you need me and you think about it hard enough, I'll be there."

Nicolas turned to walk back into the great room. He turned around and around, grinning as he took in what the area had been tranformed into. He could not be more pleased.

Illustra-106th floor

:: That evening, On the 106th floor of Illustra, down the long hall way and within the large, always dark luxury apartment of Alison Marble, the scent of vanilla could be detected, as it flowed through the dimly lit , multi level, spacious quaters. Alison herself was in one of her several rooms, sitting cross legged as she floated up off the floor and seemed to be meditating. Madonna's Shanti Ashtangi played in the air...its dreamy, mystical and entrancing melody seemed to provide the perfect background for Alison as mystical blue orbs overed around her. Wearing a black silk Kimono mini dress with silver accents, Her blue/black hair was down and flowed slowly behind her. ::

:: having slept peacefully for several hours, Alison felt refreshed and centered, she now took this opportunity to dedicate herself to a "mental/spiritual" tune up....getting her mind right, refocusing her powers and looking ahead to her goals in the near future. She was getting more and more back to her solid ground.::

:: time passed and she felt perfectly attuned to the space around her beyond illustra, all time threads were easily viewed, and her powers were now attuned to her new mental state since returning to Limbo. as she finished her meditation/ "tune up"....a chime sounded. someone was on this floor and at her door!::

::without opening her eyes, she "saw" Persephone arriving. she wanted to talk about building an identity and she had already seen Alycia moments ago. Alison opened her cobalt blue eyes. her facial expression was that of slight irritation. It was RARE that she invited visitors to her floor...even her own team mates::

:: disengaging from her position, Alison waved her hand and the music faded out and there was now silence. She needed no stronger light to find her way to the doors, for she knew the layout of her own space. she came to the door, still wearing the black silk kimono mini dress which revealed her own long, toned legs. ::

:: opening one of the double doors, she greeted Persephone. Persephone would see how DARK it was inside...the coldness in the air, and Alison's own cobalt blue eyes staring at her ..they almost seemed to glow in the darkness::

Persephone.

:: she said in a low, cold tone as she stood aside and allowed Persephone to step in.::

You've just been to see Alycia. What can i do for you?

 

[Persephone]

106th floor / Alison's Penthouse

:: Persephone could hear music rumbling from Alison's penthouse; what sounded like a familiar Madonna song. It was strange how different this timeline was from her own; but the small similarities seemed to balance everything out. The music abruptely stopped, noting Alison obviously knew she was here. Stepping back from the large door, she unfolded her arms that were crossed along her chest, watching as the massive door opened. Noting the darkness within the room, the goddess very much appriciated it. How cold and distant everything felt. Stepping forward as Alison invited her in, Persephone glanced around the darkened space. ::

"Yes. Alycia informed me about how it's required that I have an identity in this timeline."

:: Turning to Alison, she was unaware if her icy exterior was directly aimed toward her, or is Guardian was normally this cold. She voted for the latter. ::

"I need to find my cross time alter in order to take over her life. I sought you out knowing your abilities to see throughout all time and space."

:: With her eyes now adjusted to the darkness of the penthouse, Persephone turned from Alison and allowed herself to study the home further. It was tastefully decorated; although not of her taste. A little larger than her own penthouse, probably purposely. ::

"Will you assist me?"

:: Turning back around, Persephone stood tall, her weight resting on one leg as she awaited Alison's answer. ::

 

[Spellbinder]

Illustra-107th floor

<< on the top floor of Illustra, things were very quiet and peacefull in the sprawling, multi level penthouse that belonged to Morgan Victoria, the recently returned Spellbinder.>>

<< Morgan herself did not have the same emotional connections to anything or anyone post Seige Perilous...parts of her had already been rearranged or transformed by the mystical cosmic gem but because the process had not been COMPLETED, there was still a chance for her to recover.>>

<< she had recently had a "reunion" with her friends and family in The Six but it caused her some anxiety and she retreated. It was the first necessary step on her road to recovery.>>

<< Now, several hours later, it was dark and her mother, Dr. Victoria, who was here as a guest to help her daughter recover was now asleep. Morgan silently wandered through her own penthouse, room to room, floor to floor...touching things, inspecting things, trying to remember, trying to understand. Her familiar, a beautifull siamese named Tinkerbell, followed along silently while her other kitten lay with the Doctor. >>

<< after a while, she found herself back in her camber of dreams. she was wearing a violet hued sheer, corsetted night gown which accentuated her ample cleavage and fit, feminine frame..with a flowing sheer robe to go with it and a breeze flowed t hrough her chamber of dreams causing her dreamy, sexy outfit. her blonde, double highlighted hair flowed a bit as she stepped to the to the rounded step leading up to the crystaline doors and out to the large balcony.>>


<< out on the balcony, into the dark, starry night sky, the sorceress stood, the mild air flowed over her as she closed her eyes. at such a HIGH point above the city...should she not be able to make the most of it?>>

<< she remembered what her mother and Ororo told her about her powers, her heritage. among them, she could FLY and at high speeds. She hadnt tried her powers since being back on earth...but as she stood here, in the night air, in her outfit, she felt the increasing sense of courage and curiosity.>>

Ororo: you can fly, as fast and as focused as any wind...if not FASTER. Just like me!

<< the power was hers...so why not TRY IT? closing her eyes..and taking a deep breath, Morgan took her position before JUMPING up and over the balcony, with splendid form like that of an olympic diver, she spread her arms out and let caution go as a chime sounded off. She began to FLY!>>

<< diving down at first, Morgan swung upward, climbing faster and higher as her outfit flowed and her hair flowed as well. she laughed out loud as she experienced the sensation anew...flying as the winds bent to caress her form, she circled around Illustra once, not aware of who might see her that high up..including Blaze and Nicolas who were out on his new balcony. She made one final pass before taking off to the north, AWAY from the building and just FLYING!>>

 

[Foxfire]

Nicolas' balcony

Enjoying the tranquility of Nicolas' suite and his calming demeanor, she stepped inside with him. Her eyes sweeping over how lively the apartment had become, it really fit Nicolas in the mutant's opinion.

"No need to thank me, Nicolas. I'm glad to help out a friend and a teammate." She slyly winked over to him. "I'm sure Alison will come around, she's a hardass at first but even she has a soft side. Everything will find its way in time."

She smiled at the invitation to return to XS. "I don't know if that's wise your a dance hog." She giggled in a teasing gesture. "I'm sure we could return later on, I have a few priorities to attend. A business venture? Well, I'm intrigued by this."

Admiring the spider plants that hung with thick vines catering around Nicolas' fireplace. Blaze nodded in agreement. "Usually night time is more appropriate for me for our therapy. Let me know a time, we could begin tomorrow night if you like."

Running a hand through her chocolate locks, Blaze smiled sheepishly at him. "If we're hitting up XS, I have to look presentable. A nice bubble bath and some candles is exactly what I need. I'll tell you what, we'll meet up back here in an hour? Then we'll head off to the club and we can discuss that business venture of yours."

Something of a blur flew outside almost like a shooting star. Looking closer, Blaze saw it was Morgan! Running outside to the balcony, her green eyes going wide.

"Morgan! Get back here."

She called out, noticing her sister disappear through the thick clouds. Picking up her cell phone she called Haleigh to inform her of this, even if both weren't on friendly terms. The phone rang, awaiting for Black Widow to answer.

 

[Rampage]

"Blaze, an hour would be perfect. I have grooming of my own to..eh?!!!"

As Blaze called after Morgan Nicolas could tell that it was indeed her...he had no mental contact but he noticed the psi-screen and his TK "recognized" her form. She was flying at high speed off to the north.

"I have a lock on her position as she moves. If you guys like, I can teleport to intercept her, or any of you if need be. For now, any bystander that happens to see her will simply think it's a large bird."

 

[Foxfire]

skyline

Watching Morgan like a hawk, Blaze found Haleigh wasn't answering her phone. "Damn!" She cursed harshly while looking over Nicolas. "I can't wait for the others, I must retrieve Morgan before she places herself in any more danger. Nicolas, continue to use your telekinetic powers over manipulation. Cast some sort of illusion, when I go out there use an image of a falling star or something."

Jumping up upon the black sterling railing, Blaze found her sister sailing through the clouds like she had been flying for the first time. "I need to try to reach Morgan, if we teleport her here she may be on the defense. I'll be back."

Blaze's body engulfed in flames like that of a Human Torch. Her green irises disappearing to reveal yellow piercing eyes. Lunging forward with her arms widely spread, Blaze was able to softly glide through the air. Inhaling a few breaths she went in search of Morgan.

"Morgan."

She called out gently, careful not to spook her sister. Ascending through the murky sky of clouds, Blaze's flaming body glided past a few flapping geese who squeaked loudly. Morgan's unique heat signature giving off her position like a heat seeking missile.

Looking around as the air currents blew the mutant northerly. "Morgan, its Blaze." She wasn't entirely sure Morgan would remember but she had to try. Blaze needed to get Morgan out of the public eye even with Nicolas' illusion. Another whirl of movements and a laugh was overheard through the cool air.

Swooping down, Blaze was gaining on Morgan. She hoped to catch her sister and soon, who knew what lay outside at night, especially Malice.

 

[Harbinger]

Illustra-106th Floor

:: Alison noted Persephone's more regal and polished presentation as opposed to when they first met. Clearly she was adapting to her new environment. she saw echoes of her OWN stone cold persona in Persephone. This made her far more tolerable than when they had met in her timeline of Limbo.::

:: Persephone confirmed what Alison already had known as for her purpose.::

Come.

:: Alison lead her through the spacious, multi level luxury apartment. The cold, dark and almost haunting environment seemed to appeal to Alexis.::

It is within my power to see all things in all times and places...no matter how remote. Including being able to find any possible bloodline that can be connected to you or any "version" of you.


:: there were now in a circular, enclosed area filled with various talismans, magickal artifacts, books etc. it was a mini version of an apothecary similar to what Ororo has. it was the first indication that there was more to Alison than her just being a witch and a seer who was a member of this team. Her whole living space suggested solitude, an identity OUTSIDE of her role in the Six.::

:: Alison stood, and began to "look" outward. her eyes now glowing solid white as she "searched" through the timelines of this reality. an eerie sound could be heard in the air while this was happening. ::



Ava Cassadine.

:: Alison spoke outloud as her eyes continued to glow solid white::


Daughter of Stavros Cassadine who runs Cassadine Enterprises. That is your bloodline in this timeline

This company, which is the top weapons dealer throughout the world, is known heavily for their involvement with MysTech. Cassadine Enterprises uses cutting edge technology to produce the newest and most high tech weapons and ammo, such as 'black oil' laced bullets, silver nitrate laced bullets, UV ray laced bullets. (think Underworld bullets). They aren't souly tied with MysTech (also produce weapons for other countries, including the US government), meaning they should not be looked at as enemies, but they're mainly involved with them for financial purposes. They are involved in nearly every major government on the globe but as a shadow presence, purely profit driven.

::Alison realized that she had discovered something that ALYCIA had just latched on to. The same company was responsible for the construction and design of the cutting edge weapons technology for Master Mold!::

::Alison's eyes reverted back to normal, as she looked at Persephone.::

it would appear that your cross time altnernate had a round about connection to MysTech. the same company that your "relative" is heiress to, is the same company responsible for the monster that murdered our ally Sharon Kelly.

I may have found the identity for you to assume, but beware, the cold shadow of revenge looms large over Cassadine Enterprises.

:: Alison was referring to Alycia, but Persephone didnt know what Alycia was planning, nor would she tell her. If they were aligned with Mystech, in ANYWAY..then they needed to be brought down.::

 

[Rampage]

As Blaze flew forward Nicolas saw a better image. He projected an image of Blaze as a bolt of lightning. Three or four of those and he was able to rely on the clouds to provide cover for her. He teleported a little water from the Bay and allowed it to fall from the sky, simulating a small but nasty cloud. He stood stock still as he allowed his astral form to rise, locating Alison in her apartment with Persephone.

"Ladies, I apologize for the interruption but Morgan has left Illustra, flying at a high rate of speed to the north. We tried contacting Haleigh but did not get anyone, so Blaze has flown off towards her.I am covering their flying with illusions but I thought you would want to know immediately. Please advise."

Nicolas' astral form left quickly, returning to his body at the balcony.

 

[Persephone]

:: Following Alison into the 'mini apothecary', Persephone stood silently as she observed Alison. Her eyes went white, indicating that she was indeed using her powers. Ava Cassadine. Narrowing her eyes, the name was of Greek decent which didn't surprise the goddess. Continuing to listen as Alison explained Ava's involvement in the world, obviously the company was involved with the same people who killed Spellbinder. ::

:: Parting her lips, the visions were over and Alison's eyes returned to their icy colbalt state. Looking upon the woman she warned Persephone right out that once taking over Ava's identity, concequences would arise from the Cassadine's involvement with MysTech. ::

"From what i've learned, MysTech is your version of the Guardians of Light. A unite in which is sought out to destory the six and those involved with the team."

:: Again taking it upon herself to research MysTech, it was a ruthless company in which causes much pain and havoc to many of the people associated with the six. They killed a woman named Sharon Kelly who fought for mutant and meta human's, and nearly killed Alycia Barnett as well. They were also involved with Spellbinder's death. ::

"I can easily sway Cassadine Enterprises over to our side. I'll murder Stavros Cassadine and oversee the company alone."

:: Murdering for personal gain was something Persephone wasn't opposed to. In fact she found it to be the most effect method to getting what she wanted. But perhaps her straight forward attitude about murder would shock those involved with the six. But nevertheless, Persephone came from a different time which obviously showed. But one thing was certainly clear, she was extremely savvy and understood how to handle herself and be a leader. She was a Dire Wraith for the Masters of Evil after all. ::

:: As Persephone addressed Alison, Rampage suddenly appeared informing the woman that Spellbinder was out flying around New York City. Raising a brow to the man, he seemed rather...interesting to say the least. Watching as his astra form disappeared, Persephine inhaled deeply. ::

"She needs to feel the freedom that she fears she has lost. I wouldn't interfere."

:: Pursing her lips, Persephone glanced to one of the windows that was afar. ::

"But of course, you know her better than I."

::Alison listend as Persephone was more than prepared to assume this identity AND even help deal with the threat of Cassadine Enterprises as a powerfull ally to Mystech, but when it came to her idea of outright murdering Stavaos, Alison knew this wasnt the best course of action. NOT because it was "wrong" but because it would directly interfere with Alycia's plans, which ultimately would gain her the revenge she wanted AND benefit Persephone as well. but before the Seer could speak, Nicolas appeared via astral form.::

::Alison turned to look at his astral form, a look of irritation over her face as he just INTRUDED into her personal space. She would speak to him about this later...but for now, she listened as he informed both women that Morgan was now flying through the night skies and that Blaze had gone after her. THAT was the worst descision the two of them could have made and Persephone seemed to demonstrate a deep perception of her own as she vocalized what Alison was thinking.::


Agreed.

:: she addressed Nicolas::

Morgan is in no danger. She is flying TOO HIGH in the night sky to be seen by any normal human eye. Sending Blaze after her...was not a smart move. She is already wary of Blaze because of what she felt earlier. Call Blaze BACK immediately before Morgan attacks her.

Let her be. Morgan wants to experience freedom, she wants to EXPLORE and learn about herself and her powers. She took off from her balcony to see if what her mother and Ororo told her was TRUE. No matter WHERE she goes, I'll be able to "see' her. and if for some reason she gets into trouble and I am not able to reach her in time [VERY unlikely], she has the power to teleport..that is her BASIC power and will activate either by will or by instinct/emotion.
