The start of something...unusual

[Harbinger]

Greece- the violence

:: walking forward with the group, they stayed together. Morgan and Alison held hands. Alison held Delilah's hand as well. it was an absent minded thing...like what you'd do with your sisters and Alison didnt even realize she was doing it. MorningStar left to save a woman being accosted by a man, while Rampage placed a mob into sleep and Spellbinder::

:: Guardian thought for a moment, and spoke.::

ETHAN! he's JUST NOW arrived at Illustra! can't HE EVER get anywhere on time?!

:: her voice tinged with agitation as she looked over to see a man rampaging from his fruit vendor stand, shouting at her in greek. he looked CRAZED! as he hefted a LARGE WATERMELON and HURLED it at her!::

WHAT!? you need a time out, buster!

:: she thrusts her hands out ala' Piper Halliwell and BLOWS UP the water melon as it hurls through the air at her. the man screams and begins hurling more fruits and other objects at Guardian. she gestures ala' Prue Halliwell and a rushing chiming sound is hard as she TK's the objects away...finally sending canteloupe BACK at him as it slams him in the head and K.O.'s him.::

:: Spellbinder alerts them to the man who threw the baby out of the window. and out he comes.::

Black Widow! he's all yours!

 

[Barbara Minerva]

Greece- the alley

[ Barbara could see a change in Persephone. she was colder, more focused, HARDENED. something had happened to her in the MoE timeline...she could FEEL IT.]

I suspect that there've been some CHANGES in the timeline of Darkchilde if YOU are HERE and not by HER side. you two were close....you did great things together. But before we discuss that or anything ELSE, we must leave her.

[she leads Persephone through a passage way that Persephone had somehow missed before]

yes, the witch on the island, CIRCE is driving the violence and chaos under the red moon. she has long exerted control over the coast lines of greece and any man who dares to venture toward Aerie is never seen again. Circe has been using her considerable influence to wreck HAVOK on the trade business that was handled by Cassadine Corp. ever since Stavros Cassadine was humiliated and arrested by the american woman, Alycia Barnett and ...the SIX.

[Barbara lead Persephone an area that looked like an old , classic greek styled courtyard. there were vines twisting around pillars, and covering the old stoned floors. it was oddly peacefull here inspite of them still being out in the open.]

stand with me here.

[they stood together on a mosaic circular designed symbol on the floor. Persephone had seen these in Ororo's citadle in the MoE timeline! and she felt a cool. soothing feeling as her wounds were heald and she was simultaneously teleported from that spot to a large, regal mansion, on a hilly area far outside the capitol city and the chaos. the place was like something out of a classic greek novel. huge, sprawling, and circular. there was a regal silence about the place.]

we are now in my own fortress. no one dares to come here.

[ they were now in a large circular study, Barbar removed her 3/4 cropped jacket, reaving her body contouring black cat suit with golden accents. seating herself by the large fire place, she offered Persephone a seat. the woman seemed very composed and calm.]

[Persephone would begin to notice PICTURES in this study..pictures of Darkchilde, the inner circle of MoE, pictures from that timeline..as if they were there JUST FOR HER. in fact, she saw some ARTIFICATS from Darkchilde's apothecary there as well!]

 

[Rampage]

Greece, the countryside

Nicolas smiled even as Morgan showed her demonic side, threatening him. He looked her up and down in her erotic costume. He knew that he was provoking her, but a side of him wanted to do just that. Morgan was frightening, to be sure, but he was not afraid, he was excited. Her teases and acting out spoke to his reptilian brain, the part that would just as soon MOUNT the Six as ally with them. He answered in his smoothest reply tone...

"I look forward to your penalties. Remember though, touch me and I touch you back."


Nicolas sung the last few words a la the old Digital Underground song. Suddenly Morgan was off saving a baby who had been thrown out of a window. The man who tossed it out was charging the group, surely the stupidest thing he had ever done. Nicolas rendered his weapon into fine powder in his hands as he waited to see how Haleigh would handle him. It gave him a chance to watch her move, if nothing else.

 

[Seer]

and so

<< and so, as the Six move TOGETHER through the chaos, helping those who need it and STOPPING the others who need controlling...the law enforcement officials find themselves GRATEFULL to the presence of the super powered americans...as opposed to their last visit where they rooted out Stavros Cassadine.>>

<< the team made their way, most of them displaying a surpsing sense of CALM and some secretly reveling in the lawlessness of the land.>>

<< meanwhile, Barbara Minerva was checking out Persephone with curiosity. She knew more than persephone might suspect and the woman could definately tell the goddess had been through some changes even since coming to this timeline. it was time for them to talk. the fate of Greece, this WORLD depended on the information exchanged between them tonight.>>

Meanwhile

<< ETHAN CRUISE was at Illustra, inexplicably LATE to Guardian's call...he was now half a world away from the team he wanted to be apart. his only hope was to reach Haleigh who would facilitate his arrival since neither Morgan OR Alison would show him any accomodation since he couldnt even get there on time.>>

 

[Persephone]

Minerva's Lair

:: Rolling her eyes hearing Minerva confirm it was in fact Circe, Persephone scoffed coldly. Circe was a freak show bitch who believed she was more powerful than she actually was. She tried numerous times to attack the Gods and prove herself worthy of being better then them. She of course, always failed. It didn't surprise her that Circe would be behind this mass chaos. Attacking innocent people to further boost her ever growing ego. ::

:: Following Minerva through the small alley way, the further they walked, the move out of this 'age' it seemed to get. It almost seemed as if she were literally walking through time. Coming to a small courtyard, Persephone stopped and looked around. But before she could speak, she was transported to another place. Her wounds being healed in the process. Arriving in Minerva's fortress, Persephone ran her fingers down her healed arms. ::

"Thank you."

:: Slowly walking forward once being offered a seat, Persephone opted to continue to stand. The pictures and artifacts caught her attention. Moving to one of the shelves, she picked up a picture that had not only herself in it, but Darkchilde, Alessandra, and Titania in it as well. All dressed to the nines and at Club XS. A faint smile appeared on Persephone's lips as memories of that night came flooding into her mind. Placing the picture down, the room was silent for a few minutes as the goddess looked over Minerva's various items. One jumping out at Persephone particularly. Picking up dark emerald green vial, the 'neck' of the small bottle was shaped as two serpents intertwining. Their heads facing away from each other and both mouths open. This was a gift from Persephone to Darkchilde....more of a joke really. Exactly like Spellbinder, Darkchilde was petrified of snakes. One year for DC's birthday, as a 'gag' gift, Persephone gave her this vial for her apothecary. Naturally Darkchilde playfully bitched at her, but regardless of the fact that she despised the actual bottle itself, she kept it in her apothecary. She used it. For the sheer fact because Persephone gave it to her. Closing her fingers around the vial, the goddess closed her eyes before turning to Minerva. ::

"Would you mind....if I kept this?"

:: It was a bit rude to ask to keep one of her personal effects, but Persephone was slightly taken aback by the fact that Minerva had them in the first place. ::

 

[Barbara Minerva]

Minerva's lair

[as Barbara poured herself a drink in an antique goblet, she didnt bother to look over to Persephone as the woman asked for that artifact. In this timeline as well as the one of the Master's of Evil, Barbara was known GLOBALLY by historian's archeologists and related experts as one of the most ACCOMPLISHED and skilled hunters of ancient, rare and powerfull artifacts. She was a seemingly fearless woman who had faced many situations and had put many of her MALE counterparts to shame. Persephone did not remember to have any super powers in MoE's timeline but there were certain things...the fact that she hadn't aged, her vital appearence, her extremely skilled, vicious fighting ability and mastery of weapons and resources, as well as her knowledge of mystical arts greek/roman mythology and other things...it made a person wonder just what she really was? she even had demonstrated quite remarkable strength for a woman in her 50's. the item that Persephone clutched...Barbara realized it meant something special to her. it almost seemed like she had anticipated this moment. she had no problem parting with that, as she had many MORE things contained within her lair.]

of course.

[she looked into the fire for a moment, before speaking again.]

I imagine there are quite a few things here that didnt expect to find in this time. Indeed, you're not the only temporal anamoly here. there are others. some have fallen through the cracks of their own reality. others like ME have forged their path by design and some...like YOU were given a chance that few could ever hope to have.

[she motioned for Persephone to come sit down across from her in another large chair at the fire place. the woman exuded calm, confident elegance...but there was a darkness and evil about her. she was similar to Karen and Ororo...and yet if you didnt know who she was...she could most likely NOT be someone you wanted to have dealings with.]

But I must ask, WHY are you here? Why this timeline with Darkchilde's cross time counter part?

[ Barbara knew there was a story there but she wanted to hear it from Persephone. in that timeline, Barbara had met , fought and come to AID members of the MoE LONG before the Dire Wraiths returned for their revenge and by THEN, Barbara had left that timeline all together.]

[here and now, Persephone had no choice but to level with Barbara. the woman was no fool and CLEARLY she was no one that could be intimidated. this tall, massive fortress stood tall and seemingly removed from the mayhem that spread across greece. it was the perfect time for them to converse before finally addressing the most obvious questions of the evening. ]

 

[Persephone]

Minerva's Lair

: Running her thumb along the smooth emerald vial, Persephone nodded a thank you to the woman before moving toward to sit down. Holding the small bottle within her hands, the goddess sat back and crossed her legs. Looking to Minerva, she was a very wise woman indeed. Full of grace and power. But what Minerva would see in Persephone would be greatly different than she once saw in her. Cold and distant. Ruthlessly hard and very dark. Persephone was always considered 'evil' and bloodthirsty, which in some ways hadn't changed, but now Minerva could see that where she once had a bit of carefree joy in her eyes, it was now replaced with a guarded mistrust. Obviously a result of what had happened in her own time line. ::

:: In reality it had only been mere months since Persephone was actually introduced to this time line. She had literally been thrusted from one life to another in what, to her, felt like only seconds, but in actuality was 25 years. Placed in a completely different time in space with little time to cope before being jet set forward into capers. Being integrated with a woman she did not know. Being a protector instead of a killer. That alone showed how truly STRONG Persephone was. Lifting her eyes to Minerva as she asked about why she was here and what brought her here, the goddess paused. With her voice low, her gorgeous English accent played off her tongue like music. With the firelight dancing along her carmel skin, and making her hair look like melted chocolate, Minerva would remember how truly beautiful Persephone was. But she would also see, in that moment, that the goddess' beauty could not mask her pain. ::

"The original Dire Wraiths set forth to kill Darkchilde. They wanted revenge and would stop at nothing, and go through anyone, to get it. Naturally, myself and Alessandra stood by her, along with more of the high ranking and powerful members of the Masters of Evil. The battle was brutal; very grueling. At that point DC transported everyone to Limbo to regroup and basically have a 'home court' advantage against the Dire Wriaths, so to speak. But once arriving there, I became very ill. As you know, my body's physiology is tied to the Earth, and being in a place between time and space, I was literally slowly dying while there."

:: Looking to the crackling fire, as she spoke, the memories of that day played out in her head like a movie. ::

"The Dire Wraiths had finally found there way to Limbo, and while everyone was ready go and fight, Ororo insisted that I fall back. That I would only be killing myself if I continued the battle while in Limbo. I fought her, wanting so much to help my teammates...my sisters....that she cast me to stone in her garden to protect me."

:: Stopping, Persephone's glassy eyes stayed focused on the fire. She was not one to be overly emotional, or to burst into tears at any given moment. But it was obvious that this event struck her very hard. ::

"That was the first time in my entire existence.....that I’ve felt like a failure."

:: Her soft voice trailing off. It was more of a personal statement, something she didn't mean to say out loud. A few more moments passed before Persephone's gaze finally left the fire and was cast down to the small vial that she still held in her hand. ::

"Spellbinder was killed in a battle, and her teammates traveled to Limbo to find the Darkchilde for help. Upon arriving there, they found me, still in Ororo's garden. Alison Marble read an incantation which released me from Ororo's spell. It was then that I found out that...Alessandra. Titania....Morpheus, Brenthen, Elektra, Karen, and Ororo...were all dead--killed. Darkchilde was the only one to survive. They needed my help to get to her and communicate with her I was able to, and in turn, Darkchilde agreed to send Spellbinder's team back to the moment before she was killed so they could prevent it. Thinking I would stay with her, she explained to me there was nothing left for me there. The Masters of Evil was gone, our friends and team mates were gone. The world was a different place. It was my 'destiny' to go with the six into their time line."

:: Persephone considered the six her team mates now, but it was still a rough subject to talk about. Looking to Minerva, the goddess' face was a bit less tense, but still even and emotionless. Her eyes however expressed what her face did not. Deciding to find out why Minerva was here, Persephone changed the subject to see if she was in fact in this time line because of what was happening with the red moon. ::

"How did you come to be in this time line? Did you come here specifically because of what Circe is doing?"

 

[Black Widow]

Haleigh went from light and playful to dark and serious, as if by some sort of internal toggle switch. The group was transported to Greece, which was in an absolute state of chaos. The team dispersed, dealing with what they could, but Haleigh stood in place, looking around at the mayhem... or, as it would seem, looking THROUGH the mayhem... scanning DNA signatures for Persephone.... but she wasn't here. Haleigh took slow, deep breaths as she stopped looking for Ava and started assessing the immediate situation. Though people were screaming and breaking things and the roar of a fire was nearby, Haleigh's hearing locked on the nearest sound: that of a single drop of liquid landing on her shoulder. She looked at it, and then slowly looked up. somehow, a mangled body had managed to get draped over a lamppost, and the last of the blood was draining from the body in single, spaced out droplets.... and Haleigh was standing in the rest. She didn't seem troubled... rather, she looked beyond the body.... the red moon could be seen through the clouds.

"Blood on the moon...."

She said softly, almost hypnotized by the actual sight of it. The sound of her callsign brought her back to reality, as Alison called out for her to take care of a madman, and Haleigh turned right into the man, who reached up to put his hands around her neck. She reacted with the speed of thought, it seemed, as she grabbed him by the wrists and held him off, even though he towered over her, spewing greek obsenities at her. Rather than vexed or even challenged, she seemed AMUSED. A cellphone rang.... RIGHT between them, and the sound surprised the man even to halt him in his raving, and for a moment, they both looked at each other silently.

"You gonna get that? Oh-- no, wait... i can feel the vibration... thats mine. Could you.... just hold on... for one second?"

The man obviously didn't like that idea... as he started up his yelling again, even more violently now, and he shook as he tried to fight Haleigh's strength. For Haleigh, it was like listening to a lawnmower start up... so she decided to drop the courtesies... right beside them, a fire hydrant began to leak, and one of the side bolts busted and hit the man, blowing his knee out and causing him to immediately shriek and hit the ground. Water sprayed out beside them, as Haleigh answered her phone, acting completely calm... as if the man lying at her feet was not screaming with pain.

"Hello? Hello? Damn it... I can bounce the signal off all the satellites I want.... why the HELL can't i get good reception?! Ah-- there.... can you he-- oh, hey Ethan. Good of you to call. We all thought wed go for a midnight stroll... you know... in Greece. How about you join us? Ask the receptionist for the time... when she directs you to look at the huge ass clock on the wall... apologize for not having your watch with you. She'll hand you one.... put it on and press the button on the side.... itll bring you here."

 

[Barbara Minerva]

Greece- Minerva's lair

[ Barbara Minerva slowly drank as Persephone told the tragic story of what had apparently been the decimateion of the Masters of Evil. It all too clearly confirmed her OWN suspicions of why she felt compelled to leave that timeline BEFORE it happened. The DREAMS she had...the TERRIFYING encounter she herself had with the Dire Wraiths when she had left XS one night after visiting with Darkchilde, Morpheus and Karen in the VIP suite!]

[ her heart went out to Persephone and while Persephone was much OLDER than Barbara chronologically, she was still manifested in the form of a young woman who could pass as Barbara's daughter. Persephone, despite her power and all she'd come t hrough in times/timelines past...was a woman who carried great pain and loss on her well guarded heart. Barbara remembered what it was like when she first went through pain like this...one of her first adventures YEARS ago (in another timeline) where she lost her entire archeological TEAM to a savage tribe during a dangerous exploration and fought like a DEMON to save the life of the one person who survived with her. the experience TRAUMATIZED her deeply and how she recovered from it, along with so many other things about her..remains a mystery to this day.]

[ she studied Persephone's face, her EYES as the woman recounted the story. and could easily see and empathize with her pain. the shocking decimation of MoE came as very sad news to Barbara as she bowed her head in solemn remberence of Ororo, Karen, Morpheus, Titania, Alessandra, Brenthon and Elektra]

the dire wraiths!? [she said softly, with a hint of painfull surprise]

[Persephone asked how Barbara came to be HERE as well, and now it was HER turn to level with Persephone.]

To be honest, Persephone, I was compelled to leave MoE's timeline shortly after my last visit with Darkchilde, her mother and her Morpheus. I had just helped Darkchilde and group of her team to destroy a demon that was stalking a witch in Los Angeles..this demon was ages old and could only be contained by the bands of cyttorak, a powerfull and deadly mystic talisman. I possessed the talisman and joined them on that caper.

Afterward, I visited with Darkchilde, Karen and Morpheus per their invitation at that club...XS. Shortly after i left...I was ATTACKED by these massive creatures. HIDEOUS things that REEKED of foul corruption. they were red...much like the moon and they commanded POWERFULL magick. these creatures resembled the ones i had been having NIGHTMARES about for weeks. I thought perhaps it was just mental fatigue and that my own imagination was running wild with images of adventures i had survived before, but there they were.

[ the fire itself seemed to expand as flickering images of the monstrous wraiths attacking Barbara in a dark alley could be seen. it was so similar to what happened HERE when they attacked ALISON behind this timeline's version of XS. Barbara looked determined, but was obviously faced with terrifying odds]

Though i was out numbered and unable to contact Darkchilde for her help , I fought them as best i could. I barely escaped with my life, learning that they had a weakness to cold metal, i wounded one with my fire arm severely enough to destract the others. It was the first time since.....[remember the time she lost her archeological team...the time when she was all too innocent] since the FIRST trauma that I had survived where my entire archeological team was slaughtered save myself and one other. i felt FEAR like i hadnt felt in so long. I used one of the talismans I obtained from Themyscria [island of the amazons] to create a path of escape for myself...across time and space and i came here to recover and this is where i have remained ever since. I have also found my calling here as well....that of an "adoptive mother" if you will

[what that meant, was anyone's guess but Persephone would be shocked to find out]

[ she looks down at her glass, and touches her chest with her hand]

those creatures were coming for Darkchilde. Had i KNOWN....I would have done everything i could to WARN her.

[Barbara knew all too well that things happened for a reason, but the MoE were highly respected by her and vice versa. to hear that they had died..even though they did so honorably and in battle...and that no one but Persephone and Darkchilde had survived, it truly saddened the woman.]

Persephone, my deepest sympathies to you. Your companions were honorable, powerfull people. They represented the BEST that a family could be and my dealings with them REMINDED me of the value of "team" interaction.

[Barbara reached over and touched Persephone's hand, a sign of care and understanding. she then sat back in her own chair]

Darkchilde sent you here, to give you a new chance at life. Prooving that she looked out for her team to the very end. As long as you and she are alive, the spirit of MoE, the things that made you all the strong family that you were...they will endure in ANY timeline that you go.

[ there's some silence after this remark. Allowing Persephone to think and compose her own thoughts. the steady ticking of a massive, eeriely designed grandfather clock could be heard in the air.]

time passes, the violence and chaos of the red moon begins to crest. But this is only the beginning. Circe IS behind this...and what she wants...is something that I have. How fitting that YOU have come here when you did. It's just like "old times" again...[ the alligning of forces between MoE and Barbara] in a way.

[ standing up, she turns to the woman]

come, allow me to lead you to my most secure inner sanctum. i have something that i think YOU of all people will appreciate the significance of.

[she leads Persephone, through various rooms and halls. the decor of the place was simply marvelous. classic greek antiquity at its best with a seamless blend of modern technology within to enhance the home to the fullest. there were ancient weapons, sculptures, books and parchments encased in various places. several guards were posted on varioius floors of the estate as well. they didnt move not once but they WERE human. very large, well armed, well trained men. supposedly the best money could buy.]

[ B. leads Persephone down a descending spiral stair case that goes deep below ground past laser security grid and through a massive steel vault door. inside.....was something that would catch persephone by total surprise... PANDORA'S BOX ]

if you're ready, i have some things to tell you that might surprise you.

[ the woman looked knowingly at Persephone with her emerald green eyes as the legendary, TERRIFYING box slowly revolved in its crystaline field container. it shimmered as the ancient inscriptions sparkled randomly]

 

[Spellbinder]

the streets of Greece

<< Spellbinder hands the baby over to authorities who cant decide whether to thank her for helping her or being brave enough to ask if she is in fact "THE morgan victoria, signature super model of illustra" , some of them want to have their way with her....and that is NOT lost on Nicolas who will undoubtedly be jealous.>>

<< She smiles haughtily at the police as she leaves them with the baby. on her way back to the group she shoves a man who attempts to steal a car down to the ground and waves her finger disapprovingly at him.>>

you shouldnt take other people's things. that's not NICE! But....

<< she said without really paying attention to the man>>

I will be "taking" Nicolas for a demonic hell ride that he shall NEVER forget.

<< she leaned in and SNEERED at the man with full on "darkchilde" aspect manifesting through her face and hair, laughing as her scare tactic sends the man SCREAMING and scrambling down the street.>>

<< it had been nearly an HOUR since they arrived and made their way through the streets of greece, and still no sign of Persephone. Haleigh was tracing her DNA signature but as soon as Persephone left with Barbara Minerva, it became that much difficult to find her again.>>

<< Morgan found Haleigh effortlessly holding the struggling man. she folded her arms, amused at the way the man attempted to assert dominance over Haleigh of all people. Though they were different in many ways, Morgan and Haleigh were alike in that they'd NEVER take shit from any man. Haleigh subdued him just as ETHAN phoned in...in the middle of a crisis no less.>>

that ETHAN!

<< she fumed>>

what the hell is the matter with him? who does he think he is? some kind of DIVA? how can you be LATE to a caper when you're trying to be APART of a team! << morgan rolled her eyes as she looked over at Nicolas.>>

<< turning back to Delilah and Haleigh, Morgan spoke...pausing for a moment like she was almost BUZZING from a nice smooth cocktail or two.>>

we've got things undercontrol, this area is like our "bubble of calm" , Haleigh, while we wait on Ethan to arrive, see if you can pinpoint persephone again. at least...determine her vitals are stable. Alison and I have something discuss with Nicolas very quickly. We'll be along in a moment.



<< Alison was nearby Nicolas and she had just disposed of a fruit and vegetable hurling man. the two women exchanged glances at one another and then looked at Nicolas. Morgan smirked at him. as the casually coralled him away from Delilah and Haleigh, around the corner of a building.>>

funny how things can be one way one minute...and then suddenly change when you least expect it. dont you think, Nicolas?

<< she watched as Alison snuck up behind him...and slapped HIM on the ass before pulling him back with a whip over his neck. SHE was in her dominatrix outfit as Morgan stepped forward and grabbed his private parts. MORGAN was manifesting the "darkchilde" aspect and her demonic costume's chest area was now replaced with armour in the same cut and design. even in the midst of the violence around them, Morgan leaned in and whispered in his ear, her lips gently and slightlytouching his ear.>>

i told you that you'd pay for that stunt my dear. and THIS is only the beginning. you may be accustomed to getting what you want but you might find out...that what you want, is something you just CANT HANDLE!

<< she bites him on the ear and shoves him away.>>

We'll have you before this night is over.

<< the two women laughed as only wicked witches could. they didnt want to HURT him, but they couldnt half way help themselves as they became more and more intoxicated with the red moon.>>

 

[Harbinger]

the streets of greece- the darkness grows

:: Guardian held Nicolas with her mini whip as Morgan whispered in his right ear. SHE whispered in his left ear.::

I see all times and spaces. I know what you want to do. I can SEE you even when you hide in your apartment...touching yourself, and daring to dream of how you'd have your way with Morgan..or ME..or even Delilah, Haleigh and Persephone!. I WATCH you Nicolas just as i have watched Haleigh and Zach and you LIKE being watched. why else would you take your clothes off so much? we KNOW who you REALLY are. But even YOU cannot be prepared for the TIDAL WAVE that is US!

:: Alison laughed softly with Morgan as they held Nicolas in their thrall before Morgan pushed him away.::

No matter what you say, or do, I KNOW, Nicolas. the power of the red moon reveals ALL the vices ..the BASIC INSTINCTS! they ARE the most powerfull after all...are they not?

:: Alison and Morgan stood tall, wicked, BEAUTIFULL. Indeed, Nicolas was in the company of some of the most beautifull women ANYWHERE now that he was with the Six. and now that they were all under the red moon's glowing haze, they could scarcely keep themselves in order as they felt themselves feeling more and more drunk with reckless abandon.::


We better get back. that ETHAN will be here. The little fool doesnt know what he's missing...all of us beautifull women on this team.

:: she and Morgan high five one another as they make their way back to Delilah and Haleigh::

 

[Seer]

the start of something truly unusual

<< the six were making progress...in more than one way. their help to quell the violence was almost "routine" for them. it was an automatic move for them the REAL progress showed as each of them breathed more and more deeply the hidden vapours in the air. the RED MOON itself, the symbol of the powerfull CRONE, HECATE. her own unabashed nature earned her the respect of the gods on olypmus and the ire of Hera. here in this time and space, the red moon symbolized, a dark freedom, lust, passion, violence...all the things that shouldnt be entertained.>>

<< the members of the six were becoming "dark" versions of themselves in the way morgan did during the Inferno. They werent even tearing at each other as they did on Haleigh's yacht, but among them, there had always been this sense of "duty"...to put OTHERS first and now...they, as a team decided THEY need to be first. they all reveled in their own darker feelings and emotions, as the casually dealt with/disposed of "law breakers". it got to the point where they really didnt CARE, but they just didnt want to see all the "poor, weak, helpless creatures" getting hurt or killed.>>

<< they almost seemed to lose their focus on just WHERE they were going, especially now that they were waiting on Ethan.>>

<< they would need to find housing soon. the idea was to join Persephone at her mansion, but with her having "moved" to an as yet undetected coordinates, they would once again have to take up residence at one of Haleigh's safe houses.>>

<< and then..things would REALLY get interesting for them all!>>

-----------------------

Meanwhile

<< finding common ground with Barbara Minerva couldnt have happened at a better time for the time displaced goddess, Persephone. The woman was truly resilent and strong..but even SHE needed a chance to let feelings out. she found that chance with Barbara. the two women shared a solemn moment of silence honoring the memory of the fallen members of the MoE and their allies, and then as they talked and shared their stories with one another, it became clear that Persepehone could trust Barbara just as she had done so long ago. She wasnt so "alone" or "out of place" after all in this timeline and Darkchilde had NOT left her abandonned and alone.>>

<< Persephone was now in for the shock of her life when she discovered that BARBARA MINERVA was in possession of Pandora's box! but how was this possible? where as PANDORA herself? so many questions...but was there enough time? there would have to be...for all their sakes.>>

<< the red moon glows...and the first wave of violence might be waning a bit...but the worse is yet to come...>>

<< and so we watch.>>
