:: Cameron watched all of this with extreme annoyance. As Alison explained her family and how they were the "bane" of her existence. How she was seriously blaming him and his mother for what was happening. It was completely ludicrous. Everyone seemed to baby Morgan, which was ironic since she liked to pretend and live in the disillusionment that she was this power hungry ball busting bitch to be reckoned with. He wasn't going to play favorites as he walked right up to his sister and waited for the rest to follow Erika ::

"You can say what you want about Morgan. But honestly, I am completely done with her. Twice she has attempted to kill her sister and nearly succeeded. Countless times she has tried to kill us all, and everyone thinks that this is so out of her character, that something is strange with Morgan. Yeah, that would be the realization that she is a cold hearted woman who has isolated SO much of the world from herself that she finds herself so alone and bitter that she wants everyone around her to be the same. Her distaste for men may be attributed to her father, but he is dead. People say I have baggage but I am sick of carrying this woman's full set of Louis Vitton Luggage of Emotions around with us wherever we go. Sick of it... After this mission... I am done with it. Done with the Six. I am going to live with my sister..."

:: Prophet looked at Erika as he entered the house and set a very almost depressing tone for the rest of the group. They could now see the severity of what was happening with Spellbinder. Although he didn't know his sister persay, but she was the first person in all of Cameron's life that when he saw her, he felt love, he felt security and trust. He would sacrifice everything to feel that way all the time. He hoped the others would follow him. ::
 
< As Erika looked at the even more deteriorating state of the group of the Six, she felt a pain in her heart. She wanted desperately to stop Morgan from leaving, but knew that she couldn't even if she tried. There was something off in Spellbinder. It was if her entire energy field had changed and that was saying something since Erika had really just met the woman a few days ago. Now here they were and Erika's mother was getting to them. Kelly had done more damage than Erika thought Kelly would ever truly know. This was getting serious. She was just about to jump in when Cameron made his speech, announcing to the group that he decided to live with his sister. That he stood so close to her now. It was a heart fluttering moment. She wanted to take him in her arms and make the bad world go away, but she couldn't right now. Cameron had to follow a path. She had to make sure the Six stayed intact. It was the safest thing for everyone. She turned to the group after an affectionate grabbing of her little brother's hand. >

"Cameron, we can discuss that later.. As for now. I can see my Mother's influence has done a lot more than I thought. I know it might seem cruel to leave Morgan out here. But we have all felt times in which we needed to get away. I know she will be back. She has a lot on her plate. Now if you will all come inside, we can work on some kind of game plan. I have tea and.. a little alcohol left over from New Year's. I'm not a big drinker. Please, let's just get inside. These winds, I can sense a change in the weather, and I will not have a sick group of mutant and witches on my hands! Come now!"

< She was opening her house to all of them. Even Alison who had just condemned her family a few moments ago. Erika couldn't turn her away. Call it naive but Erika was someone who believed that even if you lose it all, you still have your family. That whether or not you wanted to be connected, that you were. Alison was so veiled in darkness that she would hardly ever see the light and that disturbed her. Though Erika was interested in meeting this Ororo character. She seemed extremely grounded and well rounded. If only someone like that was here now. It would make things so much easier. >

Haleigh had a pleased smile fixed on her face as Morgan disappeared, and she stared smugly at Alison even as she continued to berate her. A strong part of her knew it was doing no one any good for them to be going round for round like this... but there was something even more stubborn that wouldn't allow Alison the last word.... yet she was robbed of the chance to retort, as Alison went to Blaze and Delilah... Haleigh narrowed her eyes, a cold-blooded gleam in her pale blue irises... she wasnt going to let Alison behave this way forever, throwing suckerpunches and then ducking and running... Alison's contempt was going to catch up with her eventually... Haleigh would MAKE it so.

Haleigh watched Alexis approach warily, wondering which road the woman was going to take. She nodded quickly, relieved momentarily that at least they could set aside their 'differences' to acheive some kind of alliance, which couldnt be said for Morgan or Alison......

"Actually... were about split right down the middle... but we could USE another ally... Morgan doesnt need any more praise than she's getting-- Alison's licking her ass enough for the four of us. It looks like Blaze is letting her blood ties pull at her heartstrings yet again... its like the third time since all this happened... and it ALWAYS ends with her nearly getting her ass killed... and us having to charge in and pull everyone out. I'm sick of retreating for the sake of tact and protecting the harmony of this team. We've got to DO something... we've got to convince them to trust us at least until we get rid of this parasite Dr. Gray. Hmmph... damn, this isnt as painful as i originally thought.... you and i should work together more often. We never really talked about it... but I'm not mad about you leaving me and Cameron in the tunnel... you did what you had to do... and we hardly knew each other so... bygones and whatnot... just dont pull a stunt like that now... and i think well be okay."

:: Very surprised that Haleigh was so welcoming to Alexis, she nodded listening intently to the woman speak. Everything she said was true, Morgan was out of control...even more so then she normally is. Something had to be wrong, but either way, Alexis wasn't going to get in the crossfire of it all. ::

"I completely agree, Haleigh....Morgan always complains about how we are the threats to this so called "team" when she's the one who is always out of control."

:: Allowing Haleigh to continue, Alexis crossed her arms staring deep into Hales blue orbs. You know, when you actually speak to the girl civilly, she's not all that bad. Nodding again as the woman continued to speak, a small sigh escaped her lips at the mention of this Dr Rachel person again. ::

"Forgive me, Red. But who is this Dr. Gray? I'm going off bits and pieces everyone's been saying, but I have no idea what is truly going on....other then the fact Morgan needs to take a trip to the Psych ward...or Geriatric. Whichever."

:: Allowing a small chuckle to escape her lips, she figured she would lighten the mood a bit since everything been going to hell within the past 10 minutes. Parting her lips with her tongue, the mention of herself and Haleigh working together not being as painful, Alexis laughed once more, nodding in agreement. ::

"Yeah..who knew?"

:: Her smile faded once more at the mention of Alexis abandoning Cameron and Haleigh. That always tore her up inside...even though Alexis just met the two that night, and she seemed to immediately bump heads with Haleigh, she hated leaving anyone behind. It was just something that Alexis couldn't bare---most likely result of her father. Either way, Alexis glanced away from Haleigh toward the horizon. ::

"I am truly sorry about that, Red. I mean...I can't justify why I did it, but I can apologize and let, like you said, bygones be bygones."

:: Looking away from the horizon, her eyes shifted back to the redhead and nodded with a small smile. This was the first time she had really shown human emotion toward Haleigh instead of being a stone cold bitch to her. It was a bit unnerving, but it needed to be done if they were to stick together. Nodding to the woman once more as she spoke of her not leaving them behind again, she truly meant it. Whatever stunt Morgan drug the group into this time, she wouldn't be as easily swayed. ::

"I promise on one condition. Just tell me what the hell is going on. :: With a laugh. :: Anything...cliff notes...uhh, what do you call it. A debriefing?"

:: Shaking her head with another small chuckle, Alexis was so not up on speed with the agency lingo. But hell, it was lightening the dreary mood. Haleigh was right, why hadn't they teamed up before? They were actually getting along quite well. Who knew? ::

** Gasping at the sight of piercing cobalt eyes, Blaze stepped back. Only then did Guardian reveal herself. Blaze's heartbeat dimmed, it was apparent she was on edge. Nodding to Alison's apology, she stepped forward again as the three discussed Morgan and the events to come. She felt more tranquil from Guardian's warm words and even Delilah's, both women were a huge structure to Morgan. It was now passed down to Blaze who could use all the help in the world. Dark circles lined under her eye lashes, indicating her exhaustion and stress. She wanted to embrace Alison in a hug but thought it was probably unwanted, but maybe its what Blaze needed but was afraid to ask for it. **

"Thank you Alison....that gives me a sense of strength I didn't possess before. And your assumptions are correct, its killing me. I'm crumbling under the clock here but I know our first priority is this Doctor Gray character who is in reality your mother. But please don't blame yourself for my sister's actions....I said some harsh words to Morgan. I myself wasn't thinking clearly, my judgment and integrity were faltered and I know it was from Kelly. Together we can all overcome such a difficult obstacle. I will try to control Haleigh and Cameron from provoking my sister again. But they are both as stubborn as I."

** Blaze paused when she turned, hearing Haleigh's words involving her. Why was everyone so quick to group her the others?! Her green eyes gave her comrade a dark and haunting glare. She shook her head quickly to correct Haleigh's false assumptions. Breaking eye contact, she clenched her fists, the same way Morgan did. Her eyes then moved onto Cameron who announced his resign from the team. Looking away with disgust, Blaze locked eyes with Guardian and then with Morningstar. **

"I'm sick of how this group adores placing me with alliances! I'm on my own side with ties to both. Is that hard to understand? If I happen to discuss issues with you Alison, Haleigh is so QUICK to label me! But right now I'm exhausted to even feel. I need to control my temper, my emotions to find this Kelly character. Once that matter is resolved then we help my sister without Haleigh and Cameron. Alexis doesn't know Morgan nor is she fond of her. So it'll be our mission to save my sister from the eternal depths of Limbo! After our last mission, all of them are free to do as they desire. Until then, all of us are here to cooperate with them on finding and locating Kelly."

** Pulling up her sleeves, unbuttoning her blazer to reveal her blouse. Blaze's emotions were so rapid, she could be labeled bi - polar. But she wasn't but whenever under heavy stress, Blaze couldn't control her emotions, a weakness for her. She stood tall next to the other two beautiful women, Blaze the shortest of all of them. However, with her decrease in height, came her increase in speed and stamina, making her the faster of the group. Pulling her jet black locks from her pony tail. Her wavy hair flowing down to her shoulder's, framing her face more, drawing out her sage eyes. **

"I think its time we all headed inside."

** She said honestly after Erika invited them inside her place. She knew Erika was the only link between both opposing parties. But if Haleigh wanted to place her, so be it. She turned to glance over her shoulder, seeing if her two friends would follow. Stepping inside, she waited for Alison and Delilah. **
 
honestly Blaze, MY feelings on whom you deal with are not important. THAT is something that you and Morgan already discussed. My lot is to see you through what promises to be....a most harrowing caper. Let's just.....get through this task at hand......Kelly is watching us, even as we speak.

::again, she paid no heed to the her own issue involving cameron or erika in her reassuring Blaze. She just.....forged ahead...she would show that she was MORE than up to the task at hand. it comforted some of the group to pass her off as Morgan's lapdog. But Alison was hardly that. The question was, would she allow Erika to pierce the rock hard marble heart that she now had.....to re establish her famiy ties::

The winds are rising....::thinking::Its Morgan....but at least she's...stablized herself...for now Morgan will be alright where she is , Blaze. she's got more than enough power to repel any kind of attack from kelly, should she try to accost her out there.

::Hearing Erika's words, Alison began walking with Delilah and looking at Blaze. Guardian and MorningStar came inside with the others....not bothering to comment on the serenity of the estate....or even take in its surroundings. her "foresight" would alert her to any possible danger that she, delilah or blaze faced.

Haleigh laughed, slapping Alexis on the back, perhaps a little harder than she'd intended. "I told you, forget it. No hard feelings." Haleigh laughed softly, a faint smile on her lips.

"I would call it... an abbrieviated update briefing. debriefing is for AFTER the mission. Dr. Rachel Gray came to Cameron the night of the Press Junkett... she begged him to help her, claiming Mystech was trying to kill her. She said she worked for them but tried to leave due to the unethical experiments she was forced to conduct. Cameron brought her to the rest of us.. he wanted to save her... I wanted to kill her. That was when Morgan tried to kill Blaze and Cameron... the FIRST time. I pulled them back to my flat to recuperate... and Erika burst in, claiming to be yet another one of Cameron's sisters... I know, they multiply like fucking rabbits.... Erika has proved to be an ally.... it RACHEL who everyone was split over... Morgan kept trying to bear down on us and take her for questioning... we kept pulling back and trying to make it out of there ALIVE... now it comes out that Rachel wasnt who she said she was... if they'd LISTENED to me in the first place... we could've put a hole in her head and we might all be having a nice dinner and a few drinks. But NOOO, oh no. I'm a homicidal maniac. I couldnt possibly be RIGHT about these things. Anyways... rant over.... It appears Erika knows the best way to be rid of our little pest. Oh, and as it turns out, Morgan is succumbing to the dark side, shes not just forgotten to take her meds."

That about covered it... she skipped over what theyd done in the mean time... it HAD spanned over a few days now.... but Alexis had gotten the major things without the filler. The irony that they were able to hold a conversation without arguing and being headstrong wasnt lost on Haleigh. Maybe this could work out after all.
 
:: With her eyebrows raised at the non-stop information coming at her at once, it seemed like Haleigh didn't even take a breath during that monologue. Standing there, Alexis opened her mouth but no words came out, the meta human was just speechless. Memo to self: Never leave for two weeks again...Nodding her head slowly, a small laugh escaped her lips. ::

"Wow. That. Wow. What an eventful couple of weeks."

:: Shaking her head, Alexis glanced over Haleigh's shoulder seeing everyone had made their way into Erika's mansion. Looking back at Haleigh, she soon began to walk next to the woman, toward the house. ::

"Well if it's any consolation...I would of wanted to fry Dr. Grey myself. I'm sorry...any doctor from MysTech that claims to be in need of The Six...wants to kill us. Plain and simple. As for Erika..."

:: Shaking her head, Haleigh pretty much said it right. Cameron seemed to have sister popping up everywhere. ::

"...yeah...does he have anymore long lost sisters we need to know about?"

:: Laughing, Alexis finally made it to the door of the mansion. Stepping passed the threshold, she stopped seeing everyone speaking to one another. Leaning against the door frame, she looked over at Haleigh, inching closer to the woman as she lowered her voice into a whisper, so only Hales could here her. ::

"Wait...we haven't SEEN Morgan's dark side yet? Ohh, that's comforting.... I thought we were already graced by all her wonderful personalities."

:: With a sigh. ::

"She's like the modern day Sybil. Jesus....Well either way, from the sounds of it, she's out of control. I'd feel more comfortable sticking with you. Cameron has his family to deal with...Alison is up Morgan's ass 24/7 regardless of a crisis....this Morningstar person seems to already know Morgan...therefore most likely trying to aid her...and Blaze..."

:: Pausing for a moment, she sighed lowering her whisper even more. ::

"I like the girl...she's a doll. But Morgan is her sister.....I could be wrong about her, but I would much rather be allied with you right now then take my chances with any of them. Especially if Morgan is heading over to the dark side. What do you say?"

:: Leaning back to her previous position, Alexis glanced up at the others studying them each closely before she shifted her eyes back to Haleigh. Every word out of Alexis' mouth was the truth...in this situation, she felt more comfortable with Haleigh--the woman she once never trusted. Thus showing how much Alexis was letting her guard down. ::
 
** Blaze smirked to herself for several reasons. One of them was Alexis' comment concerning herself on how she was a "doll." Even if the Meta human whispered, Blaze's super hearing allowed her access to hear it at the lowest of volumes and frequency's **

A doll? If they only knew my wild side...

** Chuckling under her breath, Blaze was not the typical Barbie type despite how mild mannered she could be. Beneath her deep exterior lay dormant an inner vixen dying to be unleashed. In due time it would appear but only in certain circumstances. Blaze had two different personality's, one of them her secret identity. None of the team knew about this but Blaze knew they would discovery this sooner or later. Foxfire was probably the most free spirited of the team with her tattoo's and her spiritual beliefs. **

** Sliding her tongue over her nude full lips slowly. Getting them wet, which was more comfortable then being dry. She had left her lip gloss at home, or what was left of her damaged place. She would have to definitely get that remodeled and restricted. But Kelly King would be the center of focus for all of them. The glow of the moon stole Blaze's attention, who rolled her eyes onto the bright glow. Her eyes blooming into an eerie dark gray shade. Fox adored night especially the moon, it controlled her. And right now she was under its control and sway. Slipping out of her blazer gracefully, she tossed it on the chair two feet from her. Unbuttoning the cuffs on her blouse, rolling them up her tanned arms. Was it hot in there? Blaze certainty thought so, damn! Her fingertips danced down to her shirt, undoing the first two, revealing more of her neckline. Sliding her black irises over the people present, noting who was there. Stopping onto Haleigh and then to Alexis, who Blaze seemed to peer right into her soul. Her eyes were filled with mystery but a unique quality, passion. **

Such a shame that fine blonde is straight, otherwise I would fu...

** Blaze's thoughts were halted at Guardian's words who lingered inside her mind. A devilish smirk breaking out over her lips. Foxfire's more primal animalistic side was definitely growing more intensely. Cocking her head to the side, she pulled on the collar of her shirt, fanning herself. Usually temperature didn't bother Blaze but it did with the full moon rising, it affected Blaze's darker side, seducing her. Especially her sexual side, she wanted to pounce. But for now she would behave, for now. ;) **
 
Meanwhile in New York

- Kelly picked herself up from the debris of the apartment as the dark wave of magick was unleashed behind her, blowing out a wall of Haleigh's penthouse. She stood up as she brushed the shards of glass from her hands and picked herself off of the ground. Those insufferable heffers had outsmarted her for the time being. She had been too blood hungry. It was an easy mistake to make. Witchfire had them in the palm of her hands and they had slipped away. It wouldn't be hard to find them and in fact, Kelly felt she knew exactly where they would be. Though her family may have been estranged from her, they were still blood and she would be able to sense them. She quickly blinked back to her own penthouse as she waved her hands. Her illusion was shattered and now for the first time she would have to take an extremely offensive approach to the situation. She looked at her body. As much as she had hated to believe it, being around all those young and beautiful people had been making Kelly almost enjoy her "humble" appearance as Rachel. That would be the first thing she would need to take care of, among other things. Clearing her space she snapped her fingers as the room turned dark and her altar appeared before her and she was immediately enclosed in a pentacle that seemed to be glowing dark purple from the floor. If she wanted to defeat this group, she would need more power. She opened her eyes as they began to glow a blood red, almost the polar opposite to her daughter Erika however. The sight was not tranquil by any means. It was petrifying and mezmerizing. The Candles that represented the Elements were placed at the different parts of the Pentacle began to burn brightly as the windows blast open, winds carrying through them, sweeping the older woman's hair up as lightning began to strike outside. Kelly began to invoke the darkest of Magicks she knew. -

I call to the might bringer of light, Kali! Spirits of the abyss, hear my call, All most powerful one and all, Kali my thoughts do sing, Through the universe they now ring. Take thine enemy, take them smite, Break them, scorn them in the night. From the mighty depths of hell. Cast your darkness on my shell. Oh Kali, oh shining star, Touch ME, burn ME from afar. Revenge now will have its day, For thine enemy starts to fray! SO MOTE IT BE!!!”

- Immediately, Kelly became enveloped in what appeared to be the pure and crackling form of Witchfire as it soared around her body and illuminated the entire room. Her shadow on the wall began to warp as it shifted and changed becoming part demon then becoming human once more. Turning back to Witchfire as the energy enveloped her she unleashed a cackling and core shaking laugh that could certainly be heard throughout the city. She was taking it all in as her physical form began to change. She became younger and somewhat taller, now standing at 6"2'. Her eyes were now a blood red as her once bright brown hair became a dark shade of shimmering Raven Black. The fire soon BLASTED throughout the penthouse as she was seemingly being consumed and burned. It didn't seem to phase her though at all. It was as if she was being ressurected. As the energy dissipated within the room, Kelly fell to the floor. She was no longer just any powerful witch. She was now part Demon and infused with the power of the Dark Gods. She was prepared to take on any of them. As soon as she got a hold of her new powers and her new body. In the meantime as she came down from her "high", she began to watch her scrying mirror as she locked on to Morgan. Her powers were definitely much sharper as she didn't really even put any effort into scrying. She watched Blaze and Morgan talking about what would happen. Then, instantly her senses began to tingle as she was shot into the attic of Erika's Estate. She saw her Book of Shadows! It had been bound with magick and obviously Erika didn't want her dear old mother to get her hands on it. -

"Well, Erika. Mommy Dearest might just make a visit to her favorite daughter's house! To claim what is rightfully mine! Oh what I can do with this power! I can FEEL it in my veins! Those bitches will suffer for tricking me! Starting with that emotional fucking TRAIN WRECK of a witch Spellbinder! Kill the Commander and the troops will follow. That fucking bitch won't know what hit her! I shall FEAST of her blood and make the others watch before they experience the pain themselves! I will GET MY BOUNTY!!!!"
 
< Erika watched Blaze with one eyebrow raised as she figured that the super senses that Blaze possessed must be attributed to some kind of animal instinct. She decided it was best to get out of the Moon's rays as she invited them all to come inside and into the rather large kitchen which the back door led straight into. >

"Ok. Everyone, it is getting cold outside and this moon seems to be affecting Blaze in a way I am not sure I like. If you will come inside at once we can form a battle plan. This tug of war is tiring me to the extreme. This is a severe situation. None of you are even close to comprehending what my mother is capable of. For years she worked for Mystech and the Axis of Evil and to this day members of her rival teams are still under the effects of her magick. Magick that she wove so well that most didn't even know the member named Witchfire existed. If one of you could take her on than she most certainly would be dead already. Think about this. We have Haleigh who trusts not even herself completely with this perposterous Rachel Gray. Even though she can SENSE something is wrong and WANTS to expend her, she doesn't. Not because of her trust for Cameron and her inner "conscience" but because of Kelly King. Her magick. She created an illusion so well crafted that not even a woman with a PSI Screen NOR or a Precog could detect. All of you normally would have killed her on the spot. That is your M.O. , but something kept you from attacking. She used each of your personalities against each other. She is the cause of this inner friction within the group and all of you bickering now will just further augment her plan. She will attack again tonight, and it will be full force, as I am sure Alison has seen. The only question that remains now is will you fall in line and work together, or die alone? Those who want to live can follow me. Good luck to the rest of you..."

< It was somewhat hard for Erika to be someone callous and seemingly cold, but she was doing it for a good reason. Erika was warm hearted and did genuinely see the good in everyone she met, but she was not born yesterday and nor was she stupid. She was a Criminal Profiler and Psychologist. She interviewed, helped and healed some of the world's sickest human sociopaths. She knew how their minds worked. Kelly King fit the profile of a psychotic person to a tee. Erika felt as if she was on the work force again. Her knowledge and use of only good magick had kept her protected and alive this long, and it would most CERTAINLY not fail her in this her time of need. She knew that if she didn't get this group together, Kelly would destroy them one by one. She would feed on their emotions and lack of mental prowess. She would obliterate them. She didn't have to be a Precog to see that, she was simply relying on the knowledge and practice of years of training and study behind her. This was now Erika's game. She was in the Sociopath's spiderweb and it was her job to make sure that the Black Widow didn't suck the life out of the others before it was too late. >
 
::Guardian stood next to MorningStar. Both women had a "glamazon" posture and presentation, much like the third member of their trio, Spellbinder. She was quite beautiful in her own way with darker features and a feminine frame....but rarely did she allow a smile to come across her face. Alison was completely unmoved by her sister's "harbinger of doom" monologue. If anyone knew just how depraved their mother was...it was HER. She was the oldest and saw first hand how merciless she was with her other children. But Alison's own nature caused her to instinctive rise up against her mother time and again::

::standing posed with her arms folded, Alison remained stone faced....in HER mind it was clear that Erika was inefficient and not capable of doing what had to be done- OBLITERATE Kelly King. Battle plans were Alison's specialty...as she was a natural born tactician, but she wasnt about to avail herself to her sister or anyone else on the other side of the "island" in the large kitchen.::

::thinking:: stupid child. you were always so sure that "love would conqure all." you may be a profiler and have credentials in the mental health profession...but that does not mean that YOU yourself are not without flaw. this "messiah complex" that you seem to have certainly fits you like a glove. your arrogant worm of a baby brother, Cameron certainly has been drawn to it. You may have the floor now, Erika....but i will NOT let you and that worm Cameron RUIN the life that i made for myself APART from this family. I will see our mother dead..and YOU TWO OUT OF MY LIFE!

::Alison's hardened heart wouldnt allow for even a sliver of feeling toward her siblings. Her life after leaving the King family was one of adventure, striving and the never ending pursuit of knowledge and power. She made a name for herself in new york high society and was alligned with one of the most important women into today's high fashion industry. Now...here she was, across the country in a situation that she couldnt realistically control. Too many "enemies" in one room...and even though she could out power some of them ...she conceded that this once..that tactical savvy dictated that she deal with the more important tasks at hand: purging kelly king, pushing erika and cameron out of her life and addressing the impending disaster involving Spellbinder::

:: she remained silent. her mind closed to everyone in the room...and she began searching time threads.....narrowing down the most probable ones for this situation.::
 
:: Cameron watched as his sister took control of the group in a way that didn't threaten the others but made them knew that she meant business. This is what he had been wanting all along. Erika was smart and intelligent and actually quite an eloquent speaker, unlike his other sister Alison. From the moment the two had met there had been some intense dislike for each other. She seemed to be so wrapped up in herself that it made Cameron sick and to figure out that after all this time that she was in fact his sister and that she turned her back on him and Erika to let them suffer with Witchfire made him hate her even more. What could drive a person to such a high level of selfishness? It sickened him to think about how he was almost killed while Alison was off galavanting with God knows what and just letting dark magick draw her in even more. He didn't think that Alison and himself would ever get along. Cameron may be extremely arrogant but at least when a person needed his help, he was there to give it. The only people who did not have his help were Morgan and Alison. They had proved time and time again that they did not like him and that if needed they would kill him. He didn't understand how they could be so offended that he naturally felt the same way about them. Prophet now stood on the opposite side of Alison by the Island of the Kitchen which was extremely warm and welcoming (think the Charmed Kitchen). It had Herb Cabinets and other witchy things along with foods and other kitchen stuff. It felt comfortable. Since nobody seemed to be talking, Cameron tried to hatch a plan to get rid of his Mother ::

"Ok.. Well can we think of a few of her powers? Her strengths, her weaknesses? We have a pletherea of powers ourselves here, surely some of them combined can outpower her. Can we just kill her? Will we have to take care of her magickally? We should look in some books and do some research. Erika, you still have all of her files from Mystech right? It should have some detailed info on it, surely Haleigh will be able to decode it. I say we nip this in the butt before she has a chance to power up..."
 
- Kelly King watched the entire situation unfold in the Kitchen as a curl of what appeared to be some extremely disturbing smile surfaced on her face. Alison seemed to be deep in thought. She probably hated that Erika was stealing any bit of thunder from her. Alison always tried so desperately to be the center of attention, though Kelly did feel a bit of nausea coming on when Erika delivered what seemed to be somekind of Shakespearean Monologue. Witchfire scoffed at Erika's attempt to even define Kelly's deadliness. -

"Hah! Stupid Girl! The magick I worked on them is about as much as I have in my pinky finger! They have no idea what is in store for them. And I think I have found my way to get everything I want after all. I must go after the most vulnerable child first.. My dear little bastard son Cameron..."

- She had thought this out. Kelly had to go after Cameron first. He knew the least out of the situation. He would be the least prepared out of all of them to face Kelly and that is what she was hoping for. If she could get Cameron away from them, she knew Erika would stop at nothing to get him back. And even though Alison expressed her extreme disdain for Cameron, she would come running to, if only to spite Kelly. But now it was time for first things first. She wanted her damn Book of Shadows back. It was no use to some pathetic Wiccan Earth Mother Lover like Erika. That book had power and knowledge that she could never hope to comprehend. Kelly wanted it back. And soon she would have it. Witchfire was planning an ambush. Go in and attack at full force. They wouldn't know what had hit them until it was too late. If things went well, some would be mortally wounded and maybe some would be dead. Just a few more out of the way. Kelly stopped for a brief moment to express just how much of a psychopath she was. -

"But! What does one WEAR to a Murder?"
 
** Blaze's head spun to the side targeting Erika who brought attention to the Mutant. Raising a brow, she was entertained by her comment. Should she comment on it? But of course, Blaze always had to have the last word. **

"You may not like the changes that invoke me but under this forever night, you'll WANT me to change when the moment calls for it. My strength doubles, my senses are at the maximum, but I have no conscious...I affect the physical changes but the moon affects other areas."

** She thought about what little she knew about this Kelly King. Who would she target first and why? This was a family matter first, so it was obvious she would target Alison, Erika, and Cameron. **

"Kelly will target you Cameron....your the baby of the family. Most alignments of evil seek the youngest and most vulnerable. If not Cameron then Alison for her great power and her battle stance. She may be blood thirty but she's not stupid, she's clever and cunning. This book you speak of....is it powerful? If it is she'll probably tackle this first. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she were watching us now. Or she might target Spellbinder because she's the most powerful of the team. But I'm not sure because Morgan isn't fully seeing things clearly, she might save her for last. Either way, she'll want a member of the King family, this is a family affair."

** Noticing Alison's battle stance, Blaze smirked at the bewitching beauty. So poised and elegant yet a bird of prey mirrored her features. Following Guardian's eye line she connected the pieces to Erika. Hmmm sibling rivalry at its best? **
 
::Foxfire's voice and what she said caught Guardian's attention.::

Foxfire, from what Morgan told me about "Witchfire", during her time on Valiant, THEY(the enemy) counted on Witchfire to be able to check Spellbinder. The Axis of Evil was a collection of mutants and at least one magick user...most of whom were CONTROLLED by mystech's technology. Only Black and Witchfire VOLUNTARILY served on that team. When it came down to the firefight between Witchfire and Spellbinder, It wasnt even a contest...and that is why they sent Black after her once more. He was the only one they had who was capable of checking Morgan. Spellbinder and MorningStar both faced the Axis of Evil, its been approximately two years since Morgan returned from London....and since obviously Witchfire survived thanks to Black's intervention, she's had time to mull over her defeat and where she went wrong. Undoubtedly she remembers how vicious Morgan was in their firefight...and that Morgan had no qualms about killing HER...so she will be MORE than prepared to try to return that favor. But Morgan is more than protected from any attacks right now. She's encased herslf in some kind of pentagram of power out there in the middle of the ocean. She's intently focused on something....almost like she's in a dream state or a trance.

But as for Kelly, she's been "preparing" for her rematch with Spellbinder for an extremely long period of time. I haven't bothered to "see" her path through time over the last several years because.....::looking at Erika:: i didnt think there would be a need for me to be concerned about her. It would be wise to assume that she's got some kind of ace in the hole going for her now. This time round...its personal, AND if she can get rid of Cameron and Erika.....she will try to finish what MysTech commissioned her to do before.....take out enough members of The Six to eliminate the threat we pose to MysTech's global hold.

::Guardian's long range "sight" was quite functional and usefull....but so many people in the room despised her, it was unlikely they would recognize the valuable information she was sharing with Foxfire::


Kelly is watching us even now. She destroyed the integrity of Haleigh's apartment at Illustra and bypassed the halls...to escape the defenses. She has recovered and she's using our unfortunate bloodline link to track us. Foxfire is more right than she might suspect .....The most apparent and probable thread of time suggests that Kelly will set her sights on the weakest of her offspring FIRST. ::it was obvious she meant Cameron:: psychic abilities avail very little in the way of defense/offense against magickal attacks, not to mention the obviously psychological power play she will try to make due to his position as the youngest.

::Alison was about to suggest they kill Cameron right then and there. but she knew that would only be doing Kelly's work FOR HER. It was a pity....in terms of hating Erika and Cameron, Alison could MORE than identify with Kelly on that level. Cameron was a misfit...a BOY in what shouldve been a line of women that controlled various magicks, and ERIKA...who's annoyingly sacchrine,"pollyanna" approach to life was so nauseating......Alison was wondering how she EVER tolerated them all those years ago. but this was more than that. Kelly was once again in Alison's "way"....just as she was years ago....and this time, Alison turning her back on Kelly would not be enough. SHE would have to die....and with years of world traveling, and the tutulage she submitted herself to from mages such as Dormammu, Stephen Strange[whom had also worked with Magik] and others, submitting her self to extreme tests and trials....and tribulations of both body and mind to shed mortal scruples and embrace supernatural affinity, would now realize a full fruition as ALison would find out just how USEFULL hard gained knowledge would be to her in this most difficult time.::

:: With her eyebrows raised at the non-stop information coming at her at once, it seemed like Haleigh didn't even take a breath during that monologue. Standing there, Alexis opened her mouth but no words came out, the meta human was just speechless. Memo to self: Never leave for two weeks again...Nodding her head slowly, a small laugh escaped her lips. ::

"Wow. That. Wow. What an eventful couple of weeks."

:: Shaking her head, Alexis glanced over Haleigh's shoulder seeing everyone had made their way into Erika's mansion. Looking back at Haleigh, she soon began to walk next to the woman, toward the house. ::

"Well if it's any consolation...I would of wanted to fry Dr. Grey myself. I'm sorry...any doctor from MysTech that claims to be in need of The Six...wants to kill us. Plain and simple. As for Erika..."

:: Shaking her head, Haleigh pretty much said it right. Cameron seemed to have sister popping up everywhere. ::

"...yeah...does he have anymore long lost sisters we need to know about?"

:: Laughing, Alexis finally made it to the door of the mansion. Stepping passed the threshold, she stopped seeing everyone speaking to one another. Leaning against the door frame, she looked over at Haleigh, inching closer to the woman as she lowered her voice into a whisper, so only Hales could here her. ::

"Wait...we haven't SEEN Morgan's dark side yet? Ohh, that's comforting.... I thought we were already graced by all her wonderful personalities."

:: With a sigh. ::

"She's like the modern day Sybil. Jesus....Well either way, from the sounds of it, she's out of control. I'd feel more comfortable sticking with you. Cameron has his family to deal with...Alison is up Morgan's ass 24/7 regardless of a crisis....this Morningstar person seems to already know Morgan...therefore most likely trying to aid her...and Blaze..."

:: Pausing for a moment, she sighed lowering her whisper even more. ::

"I like the girl...she's a doll. But Morgan is her sister.....I could be wrong about her, but I would much rather be allied with you right now then take my chances with any of them. Especially if Morgan is heading over to the dark side. What do you say?"

:: Leaning back to her previous position, Alexis glanced up at the others studying them each closely before she shifted her eyes back to Haleigh. Every word out of Alexis' mouth was the truth...in this situation, she felt more comfortable with Haleigh--the woman she once never trusted. Thus showing how much Alexis was letting her guard down. ::
Click to expand...

Haleigh nodded, walking alongside Alexis solemnly with her hands resting together on th small of her back. Haleigh herself was a little shocked as well... that Alexis had even came up to her... as the two [for no real discernable reason] just usually ignored each other and minded their own respective business..... but this was pretty easy and the thing that cemented it was the logic. Haleigh felt as though she cheated herself by not doing this long ago.... Alexis wasnt so bad afterall. First impressions really kicked you in the ass sometimes. Haleigh followed the rest into the house, the last to go in, and she paused to look around behind her, making sure everyone was in and no unwanted visitors were in the shadows.

As Haleigh entered the house and followed the group into the kitchen, she surveyed the house.... and not in a meandering, oh look how clean this place is kind of way, but more a casing the bank kind of way.... it was almost a subconscious act, noting all the windows and exits, peering momentarily down hallways and through open doors, 'feeling' the place out. She did this by sheer habit.... but in the event of an emergency... at least shed be able to get out or relocate quickly. She listened to the conversation at hand.... and nearly laughed when Erika said something about her having a inner conscience... Haleigh Davidoff, Director of Clandestine Intelligence, New Yorks most PROMINENT 'Queen' Pin of organized crime, a conscience? She was REALLY optimistic, wasnt she? Haleigh nodded in a agreement to some of the things being said... yes, theyd need to attack her at her weakness, yes, it was likely she'd be out for Cameron's blood first and foremost... it was HE whom she approached. Haleigh interjected once everyone had finished, her eyes shifting from person to person, her tone that which she used to prepare her CI teams for an op, commanding and firm, but slightly encouraging and as if she KNEW what she was saying could be accomplished.

"Yes.... well, WHATEVER we do... we have to STICK TOGETHER. That woman nearly turned us on each other before.... we cannot allow that to happen once more... itd only serve to further HER purpose. and THAT means... some of us are going to have to SUCK IT UP and work right alongside those we dont like.... and were all going to have to be more patient with each other. We came together in the citadle and really BEAT the opposition down.... but nearly too late... some of us were put in UNNECCESSARY peril [her eyes settling on Alison and staying there] because we didnt all remain a TEAM.... we cant afford to repeat that history. I will personally make an attempt to be more..... [deep breath] civil... and less demanding. Hell, if I can manage it, i KNOW the rest of you can."

She said, leaning back to rest evenly on her heels, folding her arms across her chest. she finally released Alison from her glare, looking instead at Morningstar... codenamed Morningstar... wait.... from Valiant? the name sounded very familiar... and Haleigh had known she recognized Delilah's face... it just took a while to place it.... but it was no big problem... for now that she knew where to look, she could simply uplink to her servers and gather the background info herself.... it took but a few seconds, and it didnt seem like she was even doing anything... she just appeared a bit zoned out and then returned to the discussion, picking up where Alison left off.

"Right... the Axis of Evil... those three others were controlled by psychoneural collars... brilliant, but barbaric... we've advanced that technology SO MUCH recently... it can be introduced as a fluid injection, an implant.... [she seemed pleased for a moment, proud... but then snapped back to the present] anyway... the Black retaliation move was ballsy... and it worked... we all know how that went, he 'killed' Blaze, left Morgan seriously injured... Morningstar.... Delilah Trelavan. You were there as well... you fought off the sentinels wiht your powers over light... you saw Kelly in action... what do you think? Any noticable flaws... youre a cop, i imagine youd notice these things. Shit... we NEED Morgan... she fought the woman firsthand.... she'll KNOW the hardest way to hit. WHERE is she?"

:: Crossing her arms, Alexis surveyed Erika's kitchen as the others spoke strategy. Alexis wasn't much of a plan now and stick to the plan later type of person. The meta human worked off of instinct, pressure, and adrenaline. She was much better at sitting back and allowing the others to come up with the right way to approach a situation then put her two sense in. Parting her lips with her tongue, Alexis rolled her eyes. All this talk was fine and dandy, but when it came down to it, they weren't getting anywhere. ::

"Can't we just fry the bitch and go home?"

:: With a sigh and a roll to her eye, Alexis pushed herself off the door frame in which she was previously leaning against, and made her way toward the kitchen island. ::

"Look, I understand Kelly is all mighty and powerful, but if we were able to take down, Christopher, Adam, Imag, BLACK, and half the TO virus infected staff of MysTech, don't you think we are capable of putting a dent into a 5 foot 7 bean-pole? I mean....use Cameron as bait, keep him somewhere isolated. Have Guardian put up a Psye Screen...or Erika do a spell, and when Kelly attacks, we'll fillet the witch?"

:: Raising her hands up in a shrugging like motion, she placed them back down on the island and turned toward the group. ::

"Maybe it's because i've been gone and haven't seen the extent of the damage she's done. But here's a stretch. If we all work together, I think we are more then capable of taking Kelly down. Five against one. Figure the odds."

:: Okay, so Alexis put her two sense in? Big whoop. They would either agree with her, ignore her, or shoot the plan down. It really didn't matter to her, because as I said, she wasn't much of a planner. Awaiting the others to respond, the blonde leaned the small of her back against the kitchen island while lifting her arms to her chest, crossing them. ::
 
::Guardian smirked and stifled a laugh as Alexis spoke. the idea of "using cameron as bait" appealed to HER even if it didnt appeal to anyone else.::


I'm all for using Cameron as bait....but Kelly isnt a novice, Alexis. She's was one of MysTech's doctors and chosen to face Valiant. Clearly she had SOMETHING going for her in order to find favor with MysTech. I can't just "whip up a PSI Screen" for someone. Thats one of the innate gifts of being a magick user. although some of us are definately more effective than OTHERS ::casting a lofty look at Erika::

just frying her isnt enough. She would certainly do WORSE to anyone of us. Among other things....she needs her head seperated from her body and the rest of her rendered limb from limb.



::a ruby red swirl of sparkling magick forms around Guardian's gloved hand....and with a POPing sound....the Siege Perilous appears in her hand. Ororo had GIVEN her this terrifying gem as a gift....telling her that she would need it at a "most critical hour". The smooth faced, pure ruby gem shimmers and glows. it is surrounded by and set on the purest of gold that has ancient mystic symbols carved into it and at the top of the setting...is inscribed eye. ::

The Siege Perilous......i LEFT this in a secure chamber at Illustra...but it has leaped into my hand...more than 3000 miles across the country. Ororo gave this to me while i was in Limbo....and told me that I would come to need it at a "most critical hour."

:: Listening to Guardian, she was quite surprised Miss Marble hadn't snapped at her. Raising a brow as she spoke, she knew very well that Kelly was more dangerous then Alexis explained her to be, but the blonde was growing tiresome of the "planning" that was going on in the room. Shifting her eyes toward Haleigh then back to Alison, Alexis' mouth parted slightly at the sight of the Siege Perilous. Now WHY on Earth would Ororo give something that powerful to someone that self-righteous?! Either way, Alexis knew exactly what that gem could do at any given moment...she was after all there when it was unleashed at Black. ::

"Well, I think this is pretty critical, Alison.

:: In a more playful yet somewhat serious tone ::

"Okay...Plan B: Suck the vulture up....I don't care, as long as she is gone."
 
Haleigh's eyes shifted to Cameron... the poor guy. It was bad enough he was surrounded by THESE women... but now here they were calling him the weakest link and conspiring to throw him to the wolves... and he was STANDING RIGHT THERE.... she gave a tight smile to him and then looked around once more.

"Okay.... I think it should at least be SAID.... this 'Cameron Bait' idea is a potentially hazardous one at best.... I doubt any of you have ever been any where near a boat, so im even more sure neither of you have any concept of fishing.... I dont care for it myself... all waiting rarely any payoff.... BUT... theres one thing i learned from it... Things never really work out well for the BAIT. Look, Kellys bound to already be AFTER US... no need to be putting someone in undue harm."

Haleigh shifted her weight slightly back as the gem came to Alison... she too had seen what could become of one victim to the stone... she wasnt exactly comfortable with it in Alison's hands.... but she remained still and quiet.
