Nicolas "heard" through Haleigh discussion of the plan, and it was a pretty sound one. This was what they were really good at, coming toether when it was bad. He had an idea, and he approached the women as they spoke quietly, speaking in a hushed tone.

An additional idea, if we wish to keep any intersst from Blaze, we could...heal a few other people as well...not EVERYONE, but maybe a fractured arm here, a burst appendix there, just so all of the attention after this is not on Blaze. Unless you want to TOTALLY wipe everything, do an undo. That would be REALLY tough, especially with the police on the scene not here and the paramedics also....(does a concentrated scan)...NOT here. It is up to you all.

Nicolas nodded and stepped away. He would do whatever he could for all of them, whatever Morgan WANTED, but he knew that she was still not interested in dealing with him up close. So he gave her, gave them ALL...some space.

Exiting her bedroom in a quickened pace, Claudia fiddled with her red handbag as she made her way into the livingroom. Wearing a chic black buisness suit with a red cami underneath, the brunette's red heals clicked against the hardwood floors of her apartment as she grabbed her car keys and headed out the door. Making her way down the spiral staircase that lead to the main level of the courtyard, Claudia shuffled through the numerous numbers listed in her PDA, not paying attention to where she was going...but more importantly...not paying attention to who she was about to run INTO.

[ at that moment, Sharon comes out of apartment 3 on the main level of the courtyard, her large silver gryfalcons perched on her arm which was covered in the silver adamantium armour that was now apart of her. humming softly using her power over birds to keep the birds calm , as their heads were not covered at the moment, Sharon shut the door and locked it, turning around, to hear and see a woman walking towards the opening to the gate leading out to the street.]

[ her silver eyes widen as she catches a full view of the woman.]

YOU!

[ she shouts! as her silver gryfalcons take flight, and PURPOSEfully making a such CLOSE and nearly deadly swoop at Claudia that she can feel the force from their large wings flapping as they perch nearby watching her like the birds of prey that they are.]

[ Sharon walks forward, blocking Claudia's path.]

WHAT are you doing here?
 
Claudia stopped in mid stride and looked up from her PDA hearing a woman shout 'you'. Turning to look in the direction of where the voice came from, suddenly two giant birds swooped over Claudia's head causing her to instinctively duck.

"What the HELL!"

Eyes wide with anger, she looked overhead to where the birds were now perched. Ugly little fuckers she thought to herself before turning her attention to Sharon who MORE than made her presence known.

WHAT are you doing here?

"The better question is WHY the HELL are you ALIVE to even ask me that. Last I heard you were a skid mark on the street outside of Illustra [Master Mold]."

Smirking, Claudia casually opened her purse and put her PDA inside before closing it. Sharon Kelly and the Zacchara's had a very heated past. When the former senetor couldn't manage to take down her father in New York, she decided to go on a global 'witch hunt' and investegate the Zacchara's in Italy [Claudia's home]. But all her efforts were in vain; which undoubtly caused Sharon's hatred for the Zacchara's to escalate to unknown bounds. To this day her family has yet to be a prooven 'mob organization'.

"You've got more lives than a cat, I give you that much Sharon. But I suggest you BACK the hell off before this little pow wow of ours turns ugly."

[ Sharon looked at Claudia with contempt and was now right there in her face. the woman smirked as she remarked on her status of being a "skid mark" on the sidewalk thanks to mastermold.]


well, as you can see...I got BETTER.

[ shoving Claudia with more than a little force.]

and if you want to get UGLY? honey...we've got nothing but space and opportunity to do just that...right here, right now.

This isnt the old game Claudia. I dont represent the United States of America anymore. I represent only MYSELF and my FRIENDS in this building, who obviously don't know what kind of a slimy little sleaze bucket you really are.

But that makes it even more fun, because I can break you in HALF with my BARE HANDS far more thoroughly now than I ever could have by using "the law" before.

[ Sharon continued to block Claudia's path, silently DARING her to try to get past her.]

"HEY!"

Her tone was sharp and a little irritated. Clara had just seen Sharon Kelly SHOVE her sister and then block her path. Clara descended the stairway onto the courtyard, Johnny her shadow. She had apparently cleaned up and was leaving as well, OWNING a pastel blue sundress and playing up the 'flashy mob princess' look with a diamond necklace, big hoop earrings, and several ringed fingers. She tossed long, dark tresses out of her face as she approached the two women.

"Well well.... Sharon Kelly. I remember my father talking about you... he never really had anything nice to say on your behalf... but then, I think that sentiment was mutual, wasn't it?"

Sharon was grandstanding... and threatened to break Claudia in half. If it was one thing that Clara didn't take kindly to.... it was hearing her sister threatened. She felt a SURGE of anger, and almost flew off the handle... but she had learned very well from dealing with Trev and her father... anger was NOT an emotion to react with. One had to find patience respond [or retaliate] with a level head.

"Now Senator-- oh, I'm sorry... you're not a senator anymore, are you? My apologies. [pausing, inhaling and glancing up at the birds, then giving Sharon a once-over] Yes.... you seem strong now.... With your [gesturing] snazzy silver suit and your old hulking buzzards. But it's not JUST a matter of strength in HAND... it's also about strength in MIND. So you think you're a STRONG woman now? I'm wondering if you're a SMART woman."

She was either referring to the fact that there were now witnesses [herself and Johnny] to anything Sharon might try to do to Claudia... OR she was pointing out the fact that it was currently three against one. Either way didn't work out well for Sharon. Clara was neither smirking nor menacing, she simply stood, behind and to the left of her sister, her expression challenging Sharon to think about it.
 
[ Sharon's eyes darted over to where the bellowing was coming from. Another woman, who bore resemblance to Claudia quickly coming down the stairs followed by a young man. 3 against one. Not a problem for the mutate who was highly invulnerable and did well with brawling. They had numbers on their side, but none of them new the extent of her powers. Just as she was not immediately aware that the sisters were metahumans themselves. Sharon didnt mind revealing HER status as a mutate, she LIKED being the Silver Swan and all the power that came with that mantle.]

[ the gryfalcons began to cry out with agitation as they fidgeted a bit.]

Oh shut up, you stupid little girl, before i rip your face off.

[ she immediately said with an equal sharpness.]

you play at being brave, but your heart beat says otherwise...and if you're nervous? you should be..because you have NO IDEA who you're dealing with now.

[and looking at three of them with a sinister glint in her eye. she felt that rage....that almost PSYCHOTIC level of rage rising up within her. Morgan and Nicolas may have "fixed" the damage Riley caused with his initial "programming" of her, but the bitterness she held for the people/things that caused the greatest set backs in her original life...that couldnt be changed. She had waged a good, hard campaign to bring down the Zaccharas, and gained quite a bit of support. But in the end, they were just too slippery, too insulated. She may not have succeeded in taking them down, But her efforts earned more than a little notice from the family. the hostility between Sharon and this family was deep. Something the rest of the Six had yet to learn about. Something that could be a problem for everyone in MP...especially if a moment like THIS were to escalate.]

[ the trio standing before her did not know what kind of RAMPAGE she had embarked on when she first returned as the Silver Swan...or what she was capable of]

So I wouldnt worry about my strength of body OR mind, of which i have PLENTY...I'd worry wether or not YOUR FRAGILE little frames can handle what I'm about to do if you don't FALL BACK.

[ the would notice suddenly that there were ALOT more birds in the area...overhead...lurking in the trees, the foliage, perched on the roof tops, and even more sparrows on the ground. it was something that was easy to miss at first...the growing presence of birds, iN ADDITION to the large gryfalcons, but now....it was definately more than a little noticeable. This was more than a hostile reunion, it was a good old fashion stand off, with Sharon now drawing a line and daring someone to cross it, while at the same time establishing the fact that this was a whole new "game"...and it was PERSONAL now.]

"Obnoxious is more like it."

Stumbling back a step as Sharon enforced her point with a strong shove, Claudia's sucked in an irritated breath and glared at the woman.

"Touch me again bitch---"

HEY!
Click to expand...

Clara's voice inturrupted the confrentation, but Claudia's eyes didn't waver from Sharon. The woman was obviously trying to proove a point. After her death she became 'enhanced' and apparently now she believed she was a match for the Zacchara's.

Standing quietly as Clara came to her defense, Claudia had no issues with her sister jumping into the fight and defending her. In fact she loved it....it showed Claudia that regardless of their seperation Clara truly did love her and care about her well being.

"Fall back? [Claudia took a step forward, closing the gap between herself and Sharon] Bring it sweetie. I have ALL day. [glancing up at the numerous birds circling around Melrose Place] It seems that your ressurection came with a little added bonus, huh? You have special powers and aren't afraid to show it, is that it? You're all mighty and powerful and can 'kill us' with a snap of your fingers? Is that what you're trying to proove here with this idiotic display, Sharon? Trying to scare us away? Back us down? Make us grovel at your feet for mercy? [Claudia's tone changed to a low growl; the space between the two woman nonexistant] You're not the only one with powers here, honey. And you have NO idea what I'M capable of."

A mock laugh escaped Claudia's lips as she took a step back while casually running her fingers through her hair.

"The funny thing is....I don't have to go around and grand stand and show off to BEAT you, Sharon. It's always BEEN that way....and it will continue to BE that way. So get over it and MOVE out of my way."

Delilah returned to the group just as Nicolas was outlining his suggestion.

“I’m not sure having more people miraculously healed wouldn’t draw MORE attention.”

Delilah crossed her arms in the uncomfortable silence, her eyes flicking between the Nicolas, Haleigh, and the others in front of her. She kept her voice neutral as her eyes rested on Morgan.

“The police don’t have any evidence of anything out of the ordinary in Blaze’s accident. For the moment it looks like just that…an accident. Dumbass delivery driver ran a red light.”

She turned to Haleigh.

“So let’s do this, yeah?”
 
Nicolas listened at Delilah's counterpoint, informed with what she had gleaned from the police.

Fair enough. Could make my day by making it look like incompetence, like they just lost her and she was fine all along. Works for me...

Clara cracked a smile as Sharon threatened to rip her face off and accused her of being nervous.

"Nervous? Nervousness is for rookies. I can tell you're NEW at this… people who have dealt with this their whole lives are a lot less ostentatious about it. Drawing attention to yourself… proved to be detrimental to a couple of your neighbors. Maybe you should ask them about it sometime."

Sharon challenged them to back down and Claudia jumped on her for it… Zaccharas stood their ground, that was one thing they could be counted on for. Sharon's hothead, in your face pretentiousness was causing Clara's patience to run thin.

"[laughing sardonically, talking to Claudia] All that brawn and the old harpy still didn't get any brains. [turning to lock eyes with Sharon] Be careful Sharon… you may THINK you're smart, but you're showing stupidity. You know, I may have never LIKED you… but you had a JOB to do and for the most part, you did it professionally -- if overly passionately. HOWEVER… you're making this PERSONAL, and I'm going to advise you ONE LAST TIME that what you're doing is not very wise. You couldn't stop us THEN, you can't stop us NOW. If YOU fall back… We'll just call this all a misunderstanding… or a momentary lapse in judgment… or whatever."
 
MP courtyard

[ Sharon remained where she was. the women were all ignoring the "personal space" rule at this point.]

Talk about STUPID? the two of you airheads move into this place where MORE than one person [Haleigh] knows about you? How long do you think it is before Morgan is informed? Or better yet any number of your ENEMIES on the west coast? No...its YOU who should be worried.

You may find yourselves on the back of milk cartons.

[ they may or MAY NOT have known about the others in the building being mutants or metahumans but Sharon wouldnt go so far as to say.]

I do what i want and I make it KNOWN when I have a score to settle.

Because now, I don't HAVE to play by the rules and yes, this IS personal so I suggest both of you watch your backs...

[ she slowly turned, pretending to walk away...but at that moment she turned BACK around and with fast, fluent movement she PUNCHES Claudia in the face, across her jaw. aiming and timing it just right so as knock her, Clara AND Johnny backward and to the ground, NARROWLY avoiding the pool. She was faster and physically stronger than all three of them (something Johnny would probably be embarrased by if he tried man handling her :D ) AND She didnt even both to pull her punch ...that much, which meant Claudia would have more than a nasty bruise on her face. Whatever would Claudia offer as an explanation for her "pretty" little face? :D ]

3 against 1? nothing I havent dealt with before. But believe me when I tell you, that if you come knocking at my door, heads will roll.

[ and with that, She takes off, launching into the air and streaking away with high speeds with her birds quickly following and the rest of the birds dispersing.]

"Something you should realize about us by now Sharon. We DON'T make stupid decisions, we make strategic ones. Keep THAT in mind as to WHY we moved here."

Claudia bluffed, not really having a specific reason as to why she moved to Melrose Place other than it was beautiful, quiet, and had a history that was worth the high monthly price tag. However Sharon didn't need to know that. Let her believe they were here to mess with the other tenets....whatever got her panties in an even bigger bunch was fine by the brunette.

Claudia rolled her eyes at Sharon's threats as the blonde turned away preparing to leave. Or so Claudia THOUGHT. OOF! Claudia's head whipped to the side as Sharon's fist connected with her cheek. Stumbling to the side, she was able to catch herself [even in heels. ;)] before she collided with Clara and Johnny. Lifting her hand to her cheek, she brushed away the locks of brunette hair that were tassled across her face.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!"

Starting forward, Claudia had EVERY intention to tackle the bitch to the ground, but before she had the chance Sharon took flight high into the air. Looking up into the sky, a bruise was already starting to form on her cheek bone.

"I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT YOU GUTTER TRASH PIECE OF SHIT! BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE LAST TIME YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN!"

Growling out in complete and utter anger, Claudia whipped around and stormed past Clara and Johnny, heading up the stairs and into her apartment; slamming the door shut with enough force to have it echo through the courtyard.

"UUUUGH! THAT FUCKING CUNT!"

Slamming her forearm into a nearby vase, she sent it shattering into pieces before it even hit the floor. Standing in a debris of broken glass, Claudia heaved in and out trying to calm down; a murderous look etched across her bruised face.
 
Sharon: "You may find yourselves on the back of milk cartons."

Clara smirked and gave her sister a little nudge, shooting back a clever reply:

"Maybe for the really hot 'got milk' swimsuit edition campaign."

Clara got serious as Sharon continued to threaten.

"Oh YEAH? Well we do what WE want too-- but a key difference between us and YOU is that we'll settle OUR score and you won't even KNOW WHAT HIT YOU."

It seemed Sharon got some sense and was going to walk away… but then she whipped around and SUCKERPUNCHED Claudia. Johnny was quick enough to pull Clara back to prevent Sharon from getting a clean shot at HER as well, and then he reached up to catch Claudia, but she steadied herself and as Claudia LAUNCHED herself back at Sharon, the woman took off…. A literal hit and run that left BOTH Zacchara women steaming. Claudia stormed back up to their apartment.. Slamming and crashing sounds followed. Clara headed back to the apartment as well, telling Johnny to grab something frozen to help stave off swelling. Clara immediately went to her sister and pulled her into a hug.

"We're going to GET that cowardly vulture. We'll make her sorry she survived Master Mold, alright? You want me to make her fly into a supernova?"
 
Mike was like a kid in a candy store. Karen was going to have a private showing of her new sexier fighting garb choices. No matter what was chosen, he would win:hehe2:.

He sat on the chaise, relaxing as he waited for the show to begin. He clapped his hands, playing lightly with Karen as if he were some king.

Let the show BEGIN!!!
 
"I can't believe she sucker punched me! I can't believe I LET her sucker punch me!"

Clara pulled Claudia into a hug, and although her body was stiff--like she didn't want to be touched at that moment--she felt herself become calmer. Closing her eyes she slowly exhaled.

"We're going to GET that cowardly vulture. We'll make her sorry she survived Master Mold, alright? You want me to make her fly into a supernova?"

A short laugh managed to escape Claudia, the brunette pulling away from her sister and giving her a small smile.

"Yeah....I'll feed her to her ugly birds when you're done."

Claudia wasn't paying much attention as Johnny came from the kitchen and placed some frozen peas rather roughly against Claudia's cheek.

"Oww...[giving him a look] Thanks.."

Holding the peas up with her hand, Claws sighed out.

"Atleast I have her moves memorized. That's a bonus I suppose."

Even if Claudia wasn't FOCUSING on something or someone, her mind was able to process everything that was done. Every movement, every muscle used, the way their legs were positioned for the best impact or strike. It was embedded in her mind and stored there like a computer. Sharon's sucker punch may have bruised her cheek AND her ego, but it gave her an inside look on how the woman fought. How she conducted herself in confortations.

"Ugh...that stupid wench.."

Plopping down on the couch, Claudia kicked off her shoes and decided that the meeting at Affinity would be bumped to tomorrow.

"You wouldn't happen to know a healer that I could borrow for five minutes? [flinching] I don't even WANT to see what my cheek looks like..[removing the peas] Is it bad?"
 
Wilshire Memorial

<< rubbing her hands over her face, as she tensed up with distress. Alison sat right beside Morgan and gently rubbed her back. as Haleigh joined them on the other side of Morgan. Morgan didnt react negatively...now just wasnt the time for that when there were more important matters at hand. >>


<< Haleigh indicated that Blaze had a head injury. which confirmed Alison's vision of death looming large over Blaze. They HAD to get inside to heal. They couldnt wait for the doctor. Haleigh and Alison were already on that page. >>

Then let's get back there...



<< But they had to figure out how to heal her without drawing TOO much suspicion. Nicolas suggested that Morgan heal a few other patients with select injuries but Delilah countered that with the fact that MORE miraculous healings wouldnt make it any better than only one.>>

I don't have time to play by the rules.

<< she said as she stood up.>>

My sister...even if she is an alternate...is in there, and she could DIE on the operating table...we're RIGHT outside the door. Get me back there NOW!

<< she started forward toward the doors.>>
 
Wilshire Memorial

Haleigh...Nicolas, are there anymore EMS trucks coming to the hospital in the next 15 minutes?

:: both the hybrid and the telepath indicated there werent.::

alright then..

:: standing up with Morgan, she nodded. Taking on the role of team tactician that she had once occupied for over a year.::

1

:: pointing at Delilah, her cue to scramble cameras with her light power.::


2

:: pointing at Haleigh to carry out her idea to seize control of the hospital systems and cameras and not only block all view of the actions of the Six but to cause a suitable distraction as they entered the O.R.::

3

:: pointing at Nicolas, to handle the minds of those present as Alison HERSELF thrusts her hands out ala' Piper Halliwell and subjected EVERYONE [ except The Six] and any object not affected by Haleigh in the emergency room reception area to temporal stasis. Nicolas would make sure that when they unfroze they would not feel like they had lost any moments in time, that everything was as it had always been.::

:: and with that, they walk together with Morgan, moving quietly but with a purpose, replicating their plan as they entered the O.R. and keeping things quiet.::

Haleigh said Blaze was in this room.

:: and with that, they follow Morgan into the operating room where Blaze was...seeing her like this was not pleasant or pretty...and once more, the group takes over the room.::

Nicolas. conduct a final telepathic scan, make sure there isnt ANYONE we havent accounted for on the loose.

Haleigh hold the systems just a bit longer...Morgan, all you need to do is heal the critical injuries to Blaze's head. let the doctor's handle the rest...


:: pausing for a moment.::

Haleigh change the charts...remove all indications of a head injury, Nicolas, do the same thing with all medical staff that have been involved with Blaze since her arrival.
 
Nicolas nodded as Alison indicated him, and he reached out, "showing all before them that the Si had actually left, then essentially replicating to their minds what Alison was doing to the bodies:FREEZING them as if pressing a pause switch.

They walked into the room where Blaze lay. At Alison's instruction, Nicolas did a secondary scan, reinforcing his control over 3 minds that seemed to have a latent resistance to telepathy. Nothing he couldn't handle, but evidence that there were otehr out here like them, even of they did not know it or if their powers were much more minor.

Nicolas stood watch, concentrating, as Morgan and her sister took center stage. He altered the doctors and nurses memories so as to remove knowledge of any brain injuries or possibility thereof.
 
Minerva's Mansion- Karen's suite

<< in her large, spacious suite, Karen had ordered several costumes , and conjured some of her own design. She decided to have a bit of fun as she twitched her nose ala' Samantha Stevens and the lighting in the room was adjusted properly.>>

<< the appropriate song opens her fashion show for mike ;)

<< She first appears in her original "flying suit". a classic garb for a a witch when traveling or engaging in serious mystical matters. it became her unofficial costume when she was drafted into battles alongside her daughter and the Six. it would always be associated with her.>>

<< as the song comes to an end, she turns in an elegant pirouette as she sweeps her cape around her, and with a bewitching chime, the flying suit disappears to reveal a new outfit consistinof a bodice and stockings w/ seams up the back and some high heels. on her walk back to the screen, she turns and looks back at Mike. the song changes...indicating that Karen does enjoy certain artists that people might not expect. A mid tempo ditty that is suitable for walking, prancing or trotting in this little fashion show. >>

<< She then appears, in a black wig, with more dramatic eyemake up and a "heart" beauty mark on the outer cover of her right eye. wearing black long sleeved mini dress with silver accents, stockings and high heeled boots.>>

<< she lowers her hands to her hips, snapping her fingers, a chime sounds off as her outfits changes to reveal a black corsett with "hot pants", fishnets and high heeled, front lace up boots and a short black cape with a red underside.>>

<< she manifests a whip and cracks it at Mike for a surprise effect and as she cracks it, another chime as the outfit changes as she walks back to the screen. this one one is nother low cut, corsetted bodice and a short cropped black jacket. black tights with thigh high high heeled boots. capped off with a black eye mask to give her a more sleek "Black Canary" esque look.>>

<< the song progresses, and Karen appears again, this time wearing a perfectly tailored purple tunic with matching gloves amd a silver belt. black tights and purple high heeled boots. upon reaching mike, she snaps her finger and with another chime the outfit changes into something that would more likely be inspired Morgan. only instead of a lightning bolt across the chest, there was a mystic symbol. the outfit revealed more skin than Karen would be known for showing but still remained tastefull enough to her standards and like almost every other woman on the team, she continued to sport high heels.>>

<< some of the outfits were for fun, others were actual costumes she considered...some darker and more edgy than one might expect from her. >>

<< one last snap of her fingers as she strikes a pose. her final costume choice: Her costume consists of long black opera gloves, form fitting black leather pants that disappear seamlessly into black high heeled boots, a silver belt and choker and a black leather bodice that leaves her midriff exposed and has a long black cape that emerges from the bustline.>>

<< it's a modern twist on the flying suit, making it very functional, fashionable and showing enough skin to remind the younger girls that this cougar still has it and can flaunt it.>>
