[ Delilah zoned out. She couldn't even tell what Haleigh was saying anymore. She was just bitching to bitch. Delilah had been serious when she suggested Haleigh stay behind. Can you say blowing things out of proportion? ]

"Blah blah blah."

[ She said it under her breath, but she didn't really care if Haleigh heard her. This was giving her a headache. And she didn't think even Haleigh knew what her point was anymore. She rolled her eyes. ]

"What is keeping Ava?"
 
:: Persephone could hear the arguing from down the hall as she approached the great room. Rolling her eyes, Haleigh was STILL bitching and moaning, but this time to Alison. This was becoming ridiculous. She had to do many things in the past that she didn't like or agree with, but she did them for the welfare of her own life and the lives of others. Why Haleigh was blowing THIS situation out of proportion was beyond her. ::

:: Entering the room just as Alison was preparing to leave, it was obvious that she had grown tired of fighting with Haleigh as well. Delilah seemed annoyed as well, but was courteous enough to not go into an all out war with her. ::

"If you're worried about Hades finding Morgan, he won't. He doesn't dare go near Hecate's chambers."

:: Rassuring words to the worried seer. Persephone knew Alison was watching over everyone and everything and saw her interaction with Hades. There was no use pussy footing around the obvious. Handing Alison the folded piece of parchment paper that contained the spell to help with the language barriers this mission, Persephone moved past her and back into the great room. ::

"Once Alison casts the Spell, we'll return to the service."
 
Haleigh almost chuckled... she narrowed her eyes and smiled shrewdly.

"See, I KNEW you were still upset about SOMETHING... I must admit though, i DID think you'd have gotten over that by now. Really, what do you want me to say? I'm SORRY I got a LITTLE carried away, but seriously... what did you EXPECT?? You GOT IN MY WAY... You were just STANDING there WATCHING her get her ASS handed to her, and after what happened to Morgan, can you BLAME me for wanting to go HELP her? I didnt want to LEAVE HER BEHIND.... its actually funny, one would THINK you of ALL people would be a fun of THAT particular habit of mine, considering its SAVED YOUR LIFE. or has your selective memory forgotten NERVOUS? I came back for YOU, Alison, and you can bet your bottom dollar that if ANYONE had gotten in my way then, I'd have tossed THEIR asses across the room.... and before you pull that [nasal tone to mimick Alison] 'i knew she wasnt gonna get hurt' shit, just remember, the REST of us can SEE the future. You know how you felt fighting the Pontiff?? Fearing what might come next, only being able to GUESS? THAT'S how the rest of us feel ALL the time. And here's a REALLY good question for you, Alison.... if you chalked it up to the RED MOON then, why the HELL are you bringing it up NOW??"

And Alison continued... strange, for a woman who claimed not to want to argue, she was doing a good job of JUST THAT.... and again she hit on the Morgan thing....this woman's like a broken record!

"Oh, I am SO SICK of THIS SHIT. OKAY, PEOPLE! OKAY! It was the WRONG thing to say. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW she'd take it so damn badly, hmm? some people NEED that kind of pep talk. Good GOD, I was just trying to MOTIVATE her. It was a bad choice of words at a bad time! [looking from person to person] Okay??! I FUCKED UP. I made a MISTAKE, are you all happy?? A MISTAKE... you know, like all HUMANS do? Of course, with my being --forgive me-- a little more SUPER than most humans, my mistakes tend to be collosally BIGGER."

Persephone came in, talking mostly to Alison, who suddenly wanted to move on. HA, As if.

"Oh, NOW you don't want to 'speak about this anymore'. AFTER you've finished attacking me. WELL, HERE'S AN IDEA: how about you pull your CLAWS out of my BACK and leave me ALONE, and then maybe we wont HAVE to 'speak about this anymore'. [turning to Delilah] And YOU! Why don't you just SHUT THE HELL UP if you can't manage to string a PROPER SENTENCE together!"

[ Delilah sat up, putting her hands on her thighs. ]

"Haleigh"

[ She stood up, turned, and marched up to Black Widow. ]

"Will you SHUT THE FUCK UP"

[ Her hand flew back before she even knew what she was doing, and SLAPPED Haleigh hard across the face. Her eyes flashed with anger. ]

"God you are such a whiney brat. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE. GET OVER IT. I am SO SICK of your 'poor me' crap! So you've saved some of us, well some of have saved you too. So stop lording it over everyone like they should be worshipping at your feet because you did your JOB. Big fucking ass whoop. Sit down, shut up, and let the rest of us do OUR job because you sure as hell seem to care more about how you're dressed than THAT right now."
 
"ENOUGH, Haleigh!"

:: Both herself and Delilah seemed to be at the end of their ropes. This was getting way out of hand. If Haleigh had it her way, she'd bitch and moan her way back to the 21st centery. Delilah finally exploded, letting into Haleigh, and knowing Haleigh, she would fight right back. The on going circle of bickering that would lead to no where. ::

"I'm not going to waste one more moment hearing you bitch and pick fights about past and present situations. It's ridiculous already, and completely pointless. We have yet ANOTHER mission to complete, so unless you want to live the remainder of your life in this time line you so obviously hate, we need to get moving."

:: Now would Haleigh actually shut up and refrain from fighting back, unlikely. Ava may have been the 'younger' of the two, but Haleigh acted far more childish. Being stubborn is one thing, but the lengths that this fight--that started over clothing nontheless-- had gone was outrageous. They may have been thrust back into time, but that didn't mean their OWN time line wasn't suffering from Circe and the Red Moon. The longer they fooled around, the higher the chance of returning to a world that has been picked apart by Circe. ::

"Delilah, because Morgan is incompasitated at the moment, you'll be our means of transporting from the Underworld to the surface."
 
Persephone's Palace -- Great Room

Nicolas was tired of this. It was pointless and only degraded team morale further. He simply stopped, broke the cycle of back-and-forth and stood, arms folded. He could sense Hades vaguely as he moved through the Palace, and he knew that an encounter between this group of ladies and him right now would be catastrophic, win or lose.

As Delilah slapped Halegh,Nicolas was surprised, and IMPRESSED. Her edge was much sharper than he had remembered it. It was cool to see her like this, though maybe not very helpful. Nicolas repaired the damage to the breastplate he wore and waioted for the team to get itself together.

Suddenly he noticed something coming, but was far too late to warn the team verbally... He telepathically notified anyone who could hear him.

Hades is right around the corner!!! Let's move!!
 
[ Delilah looked into Haleigh's eyes for a long second more, then backed up and turned away from her. ]

"Violence is the only thing she understands."

[ She spoke softly and through gritted teeth. She poured her annoyance out with her power, throwing her arms forward with her fingers spread wide. Her blue eyes began to glow emerald. Green light came from her fingertips, swirling first like a mist and then like a tornado, creating that green tunnel they had used before for travel. The power flowed around her, feeding her, energizing her. Her blonde hair blew gently back from her face, the white robe billowing about her.

Haleigh be damned, she would protect them all herself if she had to. ]

"Quickly!"

[ She hissed it, and inclined her head towards the wormhole, waiting for the others to go through to the surface first. ]
 
the great room

:: Guardian left the greatroom to get away from Haleigh before she gave in to her desire to play PINBALL with Haleigh's body around the castle using her telekinetic power the same way she had done the supersoldier in NERVOUS::

the NERVE of her! she makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to NOT regret befriending her.

:: Haleigh was STILL having a go when Delilah slapped Haleigh and once again DEMANDED the woman to back off. Did it have to come to this? EVERYTIME Alison felt like she COULD soften up...someone like HALEIGH reminded her why it was a GOOD THING to be the "hard ass" "robotic nazi" that she had come to be known as. It was almost without thinking that she sometimes showed her humanity...which she considered to be an extreme vulnerability, especially in the presence of someone like HALEIGH.::


:: Haleigh would almost SURELY react to Delilah but Delilah was plenty capable of taking care of herself in this instance. It wasnt like haleigh hadnt provoked more than one person in the room. Alison was lost in thought as she wandered down a hall, wanting to make sure that Morgan was safe from Hades. Persephone spoke and got her attention as she explained that Hades didnt dare go near Hecate's chambers. Was he afraid of Hecate? he didnt seem like the time to shy away from anyone in what he considered to be HIS domain.::

good...

:: alison spoke softly as she took the parchment paper from Persephone and looked at the spell. She missed Nicolas' telepathic warning, but she already "saw" Hades from the moment he accosted Persephone in the apothecary and knew that he was traipsing around the castle.::

a simple incantation, more of a utility spell.


:: as Delilah began to open her wormhole, Alison felt the light flowing around her. this was one of Delilah's more unusual powers, the fact that she could manifest a smaller version of a cosmic phenomena...it suggested that she had more power at her disposal than a person might give her credit for.::

I can cast this spell while we are in transit.

:: as Delilah called for everyone to prepare to enter the wormhole, Alison held the parchment paper and began to recit the incantation.::

what was once misunderstood and foreign
let it now be discerned with total clarity and spoken with total fluency
grant all those within my sight the gift of tongues and understanding


:: a rushing sound is heard as swirling , glowing white orbs flows around the heads of each member of the team, allowing them now to have instant and total understanding of the language of the time that they were in. they would be able to hear, understand and speak it with total clarity and fluency. the spell had a 48 hour time period but they wouldnt be there that long....hopefully anyway::

:: with that, Alison stepped forward, walking into the wormhole. it was like walking into a tunnel of spectral light. there was a din of power that flowed around her and a coolness in the air as she was suddenly swept along at lightspeed through the wormhole from the underworld to the surface.::
 
SLAPPED. AGAIN! And yelled at some more... by both Ava and Delilah, as Alison wisely removed herself from the room. Nicolas mentioned Hades and that they needed to get moving, Delilah created a wormhole. Haleigh was still calmly sitting on the sofa.

"You know what? Ya'll are ALL bitches. You want ME to stop, yet you alternate taking shots at me. YEAH... that's FLAWLESS logic."

Still, Delilah's efforts seemed to have some kind of effect, as Haleigh pulled herself together and joined the others in the wormhole. Haleigh gave Delilah a pat on the back. Well, coming from Haleigh's strength, it was a little more jarring than usual.

"Big fucking ass whoop? [chuckles disbelievingly] Funny."

She didnt SEEM mad... in fact, she acted like none of it had happened.... but with Haleigh, it was hard to tell. Did she just drop it because Hades was near and they had to move... or, like Alison suggested, did she internalize it with the intention of blowing up at them later?

LOL@ "you're ALL bitches!" :haha:
[ Delilah started as she felt a "pat on the back" that probably could have knocked the wind out of a small child. Haleigh was acting like her "normal" self, or perhaps more accurately, her "nice" self. She was Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde-ing them again. Maybe she was bi-polar. Delilah shook the thoughts from her head and walked with Haleigh towards the wormhole. She crossed her right leg behind her and used it to playfully kick Haleigh in the behind. With a nod, she said, ]

"Big fucking ass. Right on."

[ She waved her hand with a flourish, motioning for Haleigh to go ahead of her. ]

"After you, my lady."

[ Mocking the formality that Ava had instructed them to use in this time period. As quickly as Haleigh had switched back to niceties, so did Delilah. Holding a grudge was going to get them nowhere. And although Haleigh enfuriated her sometimes - okay, often - it wasn't that she disliked her. She was just so...so...damn annoying sometimes!

She waiting for the others to go through, then walked through the tunnel herself. As they reached the other side, with a snap of her fingers, the tunnel disappeared, leaving them on the surface. ]
 
:: Hearing Nicolas' telepathic warning, Delilah immediately opened the wormhole and everyone entered. Moments later the entire group appeared on the surface. But they weren't just anywhere, they were now at the gates of Mount Olympus. The mountain itself looked to be carved into the shape of a castle. Balconys, pillars, archways, ect. The top of the castle disappearing into the dense white clouds. It looked as mythical as it was portrayed to be in history books. ::

"Welcome to Mount Olympus."

:: Persephone said casually as the guards opened the large golden gates for the group to enter. ::
