When revenge equals justice

[Artemis]

the transatlantic flight to greece

:: Alycia, who sat in the posh, luxurious first class of the transatlantic flight, had changed clothes since leaving Illustra. the high powered attorney was now in a sleek , tailored black pin stripped blazer with matching black slacks. her hair was down in a flawless wrap and she sat in her comfortable space, going over some documents, all the while maintaining a secure channel on her custom designed blackberry to the Greek embassy.::

:: After communicating her findings to the proper and interested authorities, Alycia had received full authorization from the federal committee investigating Mystech and its global corporate umbrella to facilitate the parterniship between greek and american government officials to capture Stavros Cassadine but Alycia planned to go further...she would arrange for their to be an "accident" one that would see the Cassadine's flagship estate DESTROYED and all inside DEAD.::

:: Alycia had contacts with various black ops agencies overseas and the would shadow greek law enforcement in this bloody and violent raid that she had mentioned.::

This will teach HER. that lying, hypocritical, self serving BITCH!

:: Alycia continued to glare at her plasma screen lap top as she received private information about the location and layout of the Cassadine compound on a secure network....and as a wicked smile crept over her beautifull face, she felt something....a presence...a VOICE in her head...her MIND?::

Alycia, this is Nicolas. I know what is going on and that you are going to Greece. I also know why. I am asking you to allow us to help you do what must be done. I will not say that I know exactly how you feel, but I will say that I have also lost a loved one to MystTech, and I want everyone involved to get what is coming to them. Let us help you, keep you safe while you do what must be done. I am not willing to simply allow you to be at risk if I can help. You are too important to the Six, and to me.

:: Alycia looked up...she felt and HEARD the voice and presence of Nicolas...a TELEPATH! she remembered when they first interacted that was what his mutant power was....she ALSO remembered that he vowed with an almost "holier than thou" tone that he'd NEVER violate the privacy of another person's mind. and yet...here he was. not only had he somehow FOLLOWED HER, but now he was in her mind!::

:: First Haleigh....then Nicolas. The former DA slammed her laptop shut and pushed her tray aside as she STOOD UP, looking extremely angry. she turned around...looking around furiously and then spotted him. Alycia knew of his alter ego. She had read Sharon's files on Nicolas as well as his father and knew of his extensive, impressive background in the realm of Biophysics. It was one of the many reasons why MysTech had wanted him in the first place...to helm projects in the now destroyed Citadle.::

:: the sleek, svelt attorney strode down the main aisle, making a beeline for Nicolas and the look on her face said it all. she shoved another passenger coming down the aisle out of her way as she slipped into the seat next to Nicolas and grabbed his harm...digging her nails into his arm to get his attention.::

How DARE YOU!

:: the lawyer leaned in as she hissed with contempt::

how DARE you enter my mind. YOU who declared you would never violate the privacy of another human being's thoughts. Who put you up to this? that walking kitchen appliance, Haleigh? Is this your way of trying to STOP me from doing what shouldve been done AGES AGO?

:: Alycia was indignant with Dr. King.::

In case you havent been keeping score, Nicolas...It's the Cassadine's banquet and people like your father and Sharon Kelly have been the main course. It's time for THEM to see what it's like to be on the receiving end and if Haleigh is too stupid...too WEAK...then I will do it myself.

:: looking at him as she narrowed her eyes.::

I may only be human...but my legal and corporate "powers" make me JUST as deadly a foe to cross as any witch, mutant or metahuman.

 

[Spellbinder]

the outskirts of Athens

<< nodding to Vivica>>

No, problem. It just didnt make sense for us to appear in costumes at this point and draw unnecessary attention to ourselves. there are some people around the world that are well connected and possess the information to know of us whether we want to believe it or not and they may also know of Alycia's connections to some of us. If WE are here....they may discover SHE is here...no matter how carefull or insulated she is.

I lost Sharon...I won't lose Alycia....especially due to some sloppy mistake on our part.


<< Spellbinder walked along, she too enjoyed the scenery before her. Having traveled the world as a supermodel AND serving on the London based team "Valiant" years before "The Six" was formed, she knew better than most that "NYC" was overrated.>>

<< as Persephone remarked that she spoke greek fluently, Morgan realized that they had a unique situation...here with them was THE goddess that most people only assumed to exist in mythology and stories of greek antiquity. Persephone had also traveled another alternate earth with Spellbinder's own cross time alternate. The woman no doubt had a wealth of experience the world over.>>

<< Haleigh was rather short with Persephone and as Guardian spoke and Persephone admonished out loud that Haleigh needed to watch her mouth, Morgan interrupted>>

Persephone, if we have time, I want you to show me the Isle of Aerie, one of the focal points of some of the most ancient and powerfull manifestations of witchcraft on earth....surrounded by the "blackest" and most stormy seas. It is....one of the most important places on earth in magickal circles....Hecate bonded with Cerci and from Aerie, she unleashed a reign of terror on the coastline of Greece that has been documented in history and myth books for centuries.. [the bestiamorphs, the power of the red moon]...during Hecate's time on the isle, every man feared that ANY woman he saw could be HER!
one of the most bloody "battle of the sexes" there was.


<< Morgan knew that Persephone would be familiar with Hecate. It had been suggested that Morgan herself was a descendant of Hecate's bloodline...and Hecate, being the goddess of witch craft was the PERFECT choice for an ancestral matriarch....and Morgan FELT something in the air...there was a rich sense of ancient magickal energy that flowed through the air out here.>>


<< getting her mind back on her business, she turned to Alison.>>

I personally dont care what happens to Stavros or his livelyhood. My only concern is to make sure ALYCIA achieves her goal.

<<sigh>>

I understand that Haleigh has a personal stake in this and she has the right to save her sister...but i feel that if she had come clean to Alycia sooner...or went to Alison ...they couldve come up with a plan BEFORE it got to this point...hindsight is always 20/20 i suppose...


Now, we're going to have to struggle to keep it together...i swear...if i see Stavros, i may just teleport him and his entire clan to LIMBO and be done with it. He made his money on the BLOOD OF INNOCENTS....he KNEW full well what Mystech was about and CAPITALIZED off of it.

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas smiled as he saw Alycia get up and look for him. He allowed her to find him and waited for the expected response. He got it as she angrily walked to the seat accompanying him and tickled his arm to get his attention. He allowed her the indignant tirade as he masked the anger of her conversation from prying eyes and ears. Instead the others around them would hear the niceties associated with very good friends. He turned to her and smiled. He spoke loudly enough for others around them to hear.

"Hello Ali, darling. It has been SO long. I have missed you. I am sorry its been a while since I've called, but we will have the Greek island to help us catch up, yes?"

Meanwhile, he spoke the real situation directly to her mind.

You have misjudged me, Alycia. I have only used your mind to speak to you discreetly and to find you out of concern for your safety. In case you haven't realized, Erika is out there. She was willing to kill me and capable of nearly severing my hand. I would not and have not violated your thoughts. I only sought to find you by your familiar mind signature. The rest of the story I filled in from the others and the pilot's mind was more than happy to let me know exactly what type of flight we are on. As for Haleigh, I am not here for HER, I am here to look out for you. Whether you like it or not. I know what MysTech has done to both of us, and I am more than happy for them to get theirs. But I do not want to lose you in the process. So, now you've got me in your corner and on your tail. get used to it and let's enjoy the flight, Ok?
Oh, and get as angry as you want, I PROMISE no one will notice.


Nicolas smiled at Alycia again and settled into his chair.

 

[MorningStar]

Haleigh's Apartment to Greece

[ Alison emerged from her slumber and entered the room where they all were gathered. Delilah just nodded at her thanks, which were of course unnecessary.

She waited a little impatiently while Morgan spoke to Blaze. The sooner they left, the better. Despite Morgan’s faith in Alycia’s abilities, Delilah wasn’t so sure in her current state of mind that she would be okay. Persephone walked over to her, making an apology to Haleigh. Delilah tentatively put a hand on the goddess’ shoulder, removing it after a second. She felt for the predicament Persephone found herself in, between Haleigh and Ava, her life or someone else’s. But at the same time she wondered if she would actually be able to ask Haleigh to let her sister be killed – if she would be able to help the others do it. She wanted to trust in Alison and the Siege Perilous was a mysterious artifact…but still. Delilah herself had no siblings – excepting of course Morgan and Alison, though she imagined it wasn’t the same – and had always wanted them. She couldn’t imagine being forced to watch one of them die, no matter how “bad” they had turned out to be. It seemed everyone else on the team had faced such a dilemma though. An unfortunate corollary to their line of work, she guessed.

When Morgan was ready they all were transported by stepping disc to Greece. She found herself magically changed into a Mediterranean-inspired but still comfortable dress. She would have to talk to Morgan about making that trick a more regular occurrence – her clothing bill could be drastically cut.

Delilah wrinkled her nose as they arrived at the outskirts of town. She had been to the city before and found it dirty and crime-ridden. They’d be lucky if some stupid lowlife didn’t try to rob them while they were here. Wouldn’t they be surprised? She was relieved to hear Haleigh say they were moving out of town to the hills. The Greek countryside itself was beautiful – and much more to her personal liking. They weren’t here for a vacation, it was true, but if they had to be here… ]

“Once we’re at the safe house – what then? What’s the next step?”

 

[Persephone]

:: Turning to Spellbinder hearing her inturrupt the soon to be at fight between herself and Haleigh, Persephone was quite impressed with Spellbinder's knowledge about the Isle of Aerie and Hecate herself. Nodding her head, Persephone gave the witch a small smile. ::

"Of course. Hecate and I were close friends. She actually created both my weapons with her magick."

:: Continuing to walk down the pathway, noting that Haleigh was far ahead, Persephone knew that Spellbinder had great respect for strong woman. Not only in a magickal sense, but in mind and spirit. She was very much like Darkchilde in many ways, which made the transition into this world a little less difficult. ::

"Perhaps I can introduce you two sometime."

:: It was unclear if the goddess was referring that Hecate was alive or not. She could of very well been implying using Spell's stepping discs and traveling back in time to meet with Hecate. But she didn't further indulge on the subject. She would discuss this with her later after they finished this mission. ::

 

[Black Widow]

Persephone's threat fell flat... if she wanted to TRY something, she'd get her ass handed to her... but until she had the spine to do so, Haleigh was less than concerned. Morgan wisely stepped in and distracted the goddess as Haleigh traipsed ahead, coming up the house and negotiating the stairs to the door step. She put her right hand on the doorknob for a second and it clicked before she turned it, raising her left hand [now equipped with a small handgun] and slipping into the villa, leaving the door ajar for those following her. She tapped into the intercom system of the house.

"This is Director Davidoff. ANY people in this house should VACATE the premises immediately, or I'll use them for target practice."

Haleigh knew ANY CI employees using the house would speak english, so she didn't bother speaking in Greek. There was silence throughout the house and Haleigh hacked into the camera feeds for each room and scanned for anyone stupid enough to try to hide.

"The house is clear everyone. Come on in."

Delilah asked what they were going to do now that they were here, and Haleigh sighed, showing slight impatience, not with Delilah, but with the answer. She also showed a hint of anxiety... and anyone could guess why. She consciously felt the gem inside her suit, and though it wasn't really, she felt like it was burning THROUGH her suit and scalding her skin. She thought about her sister... and cleared her throat before answering Delilah.

"Now we locate Stavros and Ava... we check on Alycia's flight.... and then we wait."

 

[Recall]

Safehouse - Greece

- Vivica was relieved as they made their way to the safehouse as she strapped off her shoes and found a pair of combat boots in one of the side walls of the safe house. Those shoes were perfect for clubbing but these combat boots she could use to kick some ass and that is what Vivica needed if the time came. -

"Well it shouldn't be hard to locate them should it. I'm just confused on whether we are going to locate Starvos and Ava and protect them from Alycia, make sure Alycia doesn't get killed, let the Stavros people go.. It's all very melodramatic. Before we go in there.. We need some kind of gameplan. If we don't locate Ava and Stavros.. Because right now I am tapped into the flight systems information. I searched all the Passenger Manifests and found that the flight Alycia is on course and should be landing within the next hour.. She knows where to find Stavros.. I just don't understand why we don't just get Alycia before she gets to the Embassy..."

- She was rather confused with the situation. Vivica didn't know what was going to happen. Would Haleigh save her sister and actually use the Seige Perilous on Persephone? Would she turn on Alycia? Would Alycia survive? There were so many unanswered questions. It just didn't make sense. She could identify with Haleigh's situation. She now understood why the woman was so conflicted. She let out a nervous sigh. -

"This was all so much easier when you didn't know you were a part of The Six..."

 

[Pathfinder]

Athens

< Erika King sat in an outside cafe on the streets of Athens quiet sipping on some kind of iced drink that she wasn't even really sure what it was. The night had fallen on the city and the tourists were all out on the streets. The mere energy of the city was exciting. People dancing and walking around. Street vendors handing out samples and flowers. It was hypnotizing. For a moment, Erika almost lost her concentration as she looked at her watch. Alycia's flight had almost gotten in and Erika would have to make her move. She knew where the Cassadine Compound was and she knew that she would have to bumrush Alycia in the embassy before she sent anyone out. Erika was ready for her. Erika was ready to destroy the Six. >

"You will all soon meet your end.. every last one of you.... It wasn't my fault...."

Flashback:

< The blood was warm on her hands. She fled the scene returning to the place she had been staying in Tokyo. She charged into the bathroom and turned the shower on climbing in with all of her clothes. She had really done it. She had hurt her sister in a way that would never be reversed. Erika was in a catatonic state as the water rushed down on her body, and the water going down the drain seemed to be the faintest shade of red. She was crying incoherently. Erika had really taken a plunge. She was no longer the girl that they all once knew, the girl who had helped them in the Inferno, the girl who Ororo put so much time and effort in. She had used that knowledge to betray them all. She screamed out in pain. >

"I JUST WANTED YOU TO.. TO LOVE ME!!! OH GOD.. I JUST WANTED YOU TO LOVE ME.. MORE... MORE THAN YOU LOVED HER!!!"

< She slammed her hands back into the tiling of the shower as it shattered behind, curling up into a ball, she just kept repeating the same words to herself. >

Forgive me.. forgive me... forgive me... forgive me...

 

[Foxfire]

Safehouse

Blaze followed behind the entourage of women deciding to take the rear. She looked over her shoulder every few seconds. She was craving a Starbucks coffee right about now. Blaze felt Haleigh side step her briskly as she moved to the front. Sage - green eyes following after Haleigh who remarked rather bitchy to Persephone.


"My I should have brought the bottle of Midol on this trip."


She said to herself sarcastically as Alison explained why Haleigh was so defensive. Morgan and Persephone interacted while Delilah inquired about their mission at hand. Vivica seemed deep in thought. Blaze looked around noting it wouldn't be long before they arrived at the Safehouse Haleigh spoke of.


Haleigh located the safehouse before the others were walking inside. Blaze climbed the small steps when she felt a hand reach for her wallet she had secured in her back packet. Spinning around Blaze yanked the young man's wrist tightly. Narrowing her eyes she pulled him in closely speaking to him casually.

"Αποτελέσματα αναζήτησης για." (Stealing is a crime and in parts of Greece they cut your hand off for such a crime. ) "Δεν βρέθηκαν λέξεις." ( It would be wise for you to run along now. )


Releasing her hold of his wrist, the boy ran away from Blaze. Turning around she walked inside the safehouse. Having been a field Agent for Section One, where the Headquarters were located in Europe, Blaze had learned a few languages herself.


Closing and locking the doors behind them, Blaze moved to lean against the wall crossing her arms over her chest. Cracking her knuckles out of habit, the bone popped as she stretched out her fingertips.

Walking over to the small fishtank that sat on the mantle of the fireplace, Blaze removed her leather jacket. Rolling up her sleeve she dipped her hand into the 60 gallon tank to pull a lever at the bottom by the rocks, behind the thick log. The grill covering the fireplace lowered as a shelf was lifted. Retracing her hand while drying off her hands. She crouched down to pull out a pair of silver magnum's.

Reaching up inside the fireplace she pulled out two clips.


"So, what's the deal if that Bipolar Psycho bitch in Drag shows up?"


She remarked about Erika King slipping the clip into the butt of the gun as it clicked. Blaze had obviously been here before for she knew her way around the safehouse. Standing up she ducked one of the guns inside her ankle boot and the other in the holster she had located underneath the coffee table. Her eyes moving to each person in the room.

 

[Spellbinder]

Athens country side- the safe house

<< inside the safe house, Morgan noticed the space. something she always appreciated in living quarters.>>

<< as the others entered and Blaze shut the doors and locked them, Morgan stood with her hands on her hips as the night sky outside remained so clear and the country side was so serene.>>

it's not a question of IF...only WHEN. Alison SAID that Erika was coming for Alycia. So when Erika does show up...we KILL her.


<< Morgan took a moment to primp in a mirror, checking her hair and her outfit>>

 

[Foxfire]

Blaze looked up as Morgan addressed her question. She nodded, the firestarter could hear the deadly tone in her sister's voice who coldly remarked about Erika. "Ah, good times." She remarked sarcastically.

From the corner of her eye, Blaze could see Morgan primping in the mirror. Walking over to Morgan, Blaze stood behind her sister coming to just above her shoulder blade. "Do we look good?" She laughed at her sister playfully, "You could be dying and instead of healing yourself you would be checking on your hair."

Her smile faded when she thought more about Erika King. She wondered what made the woman flip her switch. Especially after Cameron argued in her defense against Alison and Morgan on more than one occasion.

Lowering her tone, Blaze turned to look at Morgan directly. "After this is over with...do you think Alycia will ever truly recover from the psychological damage?" She asked softly, careful not to offend Haleigh. Blaze was only concerned for the former DA.

 

[Harbinger]

Greece countryside- safe house

:: stepping inside the safehouse which was dimly lit, Alison looked around a bit. As Foxfire and Morgan spoke, Alison commented.::

Erika may think she can escape my precognition, but she can't. She has designs on Alycia. She's ALREADY in Greece...waiting. She's using this situation to try to strike at the Six.....clearly she didnt learn anything about ORGINALITY during her time in Limbo.


:: Alison knew that the ULTIMATE punishment for Erika would come at the hands of Ororo, but she would make SURE that she raked her "dear sister" across the coals a good 4 or 5 times before that happened.::

Now that we're here...we have a base of operations. Morgan will be able to move us anywhere we have to go faster than the speed of thought and with Rampage shadowing Alycia, who HAS found him out by the way....it makes our problem a little less complicated.

:: Alison knew Haleigh was focued on Ava. She stilll didnt seem to understand what was going on....the only way she could save Ava was to give her a choice, either DEATH from Alycia's revenge...or to pass through the Seige Perilous to give her a new chance at life...Recall spoke, and for a woman who was supposed to be highly analytical, she seemed to be more CLUELESS than anything else. She had always "TOLERATED" her for the sake of Cameron...but with her comments about Illustra and Alycia tonight, the seer was growing tired of her already.::

Stavros will survive the onslaught Alycia has planned only because he has made an ART of escaping death, but he will NOT escape too far....because we won't LET HIM. We will drag him back to america where he and all his accomplices will be exposed and dealt with accordingly. Alycia has secured extridition rights from BOTH sides of the atlantic for him...the key is to keep his men from killing her as well as dealing with Erika. We will split up for this task.

::however, Alison made no mention of stopping the violent, bloody raid that Alycia had planned on the Cassadine compound.::

 

[Spellbinder]

Greece- Haleigh's safe house

<< Morgan looked in the mirror and saw Blaze peeking up behind her shoulder. She was her sister and all...but she didnt need ANYONE in her air when she was doing one of her hair checks.>>

Well...I know I look good dear, but we may have to work on you a bit.

<< Spellbinder deadpanned in the way only she could.>>

It's been a while since I've been to greece, and if I'm recognized I want to make sure I'm well put together.


<< as she haughtily continued to primp, Blaze asked about Alycia, and Morgan paused for a moment.>>

I...don't know. That would be something my MOTHER would have to determine, but I know that I will not let her be hurt or killed tonight...by Stavros, his men OR Erika...SOMEBODY will die, that much is clear but it WONT be Alycia.

As far as i'm concerned...Stavros and his entire family can burn in hell...and I'll light the damn match for them.

Meanwhile, stay out of Haleigh's way okay? I dont want to have to throw her through a window for hitting you again if you provoke her.

<< violence seemed to come easy to Morgan...and her choosing to wear the inferno costume full time was a definate sign of that.>>

just be ready to move when its time to move.

 

[Foxfire]

Blaze was caught off guard by her sister's comical comment making her giggle with a laugh. "Yeah yeah, maybe when we return home you can give me a full scale make over." She teased back knowing Morgan would jump at the chance of turning her tomboy sister into an elegant business woman.

Alison's bewitching tone caught Blaze's attention, who had forgotten the Seer was present. Her words foreshadowing what was destined to be, even Blaze could hear the seriousness in Guardian's tone.

Morgan discussed Stavros and even Alycia with almost an analytical point of view. Blaze locked eyes with Morgan who asked she stay away from Haleigh.

"I didn't plan on being around her, only if I need to work with her. But, I have no desire to speak with her."

Guardian insisted the team split up into groups. And Morgan was already insuring of Blaze's protection against Black Widow. "Its all right Morgan...I had it coming." She spoke up at the last second. "Haleigh did what she felt necessarily, we all do and we all make mistakes." Blaze wondered if she would be grouped with Haleigh or if they would be separated.

 

[Artemis]

transatlantic flight to greece

:: Alycia was ready to smack Nicolas for his cavalier attitude.::

get this straight...i didnt ask for you to follow me. NOR do i appreciate your patronizing me. I suggest you stay out of my head...and leave me ALONE or else...you'll find out just why I have the reputation I do.

:: slapping Nicolas' arm hard, Alycia abruptly stands up and storms down the aisle back to her seat. thinking VERY vulgar thoughts in case Nicolas was rude and foolish enough to pry.::

:: the former DA slipped back into her seat and opened her secure laptop...resuming communication with covert agents already closing in on the cassadine compound, leaving last minute instructions.::


arriving at the airport in athens

:: Alycia exits the plane, carefully moving to make SURE that the throng of people from the plane and in the airport seperates her from Nicolas.::

that arrogant oaf. i dont want to see him ANYtime soon.

::Alycia made her way through the airport. traveling light, she was able to bypass baggage claim and make her way to a private limo waiting for her in a circle drive.::

To the embassy please.

:: flashing her federal badge, the attendant quickly helps her inside the limo and shuts the door and off they go.::

 

[Pathfinder]

Athens Airport

< Erika laughed to herself as Alycia got into the Limosuine she thought would take her to the American Embassy when in reality, Erika had killed the original driver moments ago and he was driving with her in the passenger seat in the front. As Erika drove on into the night, she revelled in the fact that Alycia would not be going anywhere else for an extremely long time. Working her magick, Erika spoke to Alycia in a voice that sounded eerily relative of Ava Cassidine. >

"To the American Embassy.. Right away. And.. Enjoy your stay in Greece..."

< Within an instant the doors locked and the Limo began to drive even faster down the winding road with no stop signs, other cars or anything in it's path. She was taking them to the dock where Stavros got on the boat to his private island. She was taking her so close to Ava and killing her before she got her justice. It was hysterical. >

"Even if they stop me now.. Alycia will be dead and they will have that on their hands..."

< She had seen Nicholas arrive at the airport as well and before Alycia had entered the Limo, Erika had placed a Mental Null Spell around the vehicle, preventing anyone from communicating to or from the Limo with their minds, which would leave Nicholas lost and Alycia not able to do anything. >

 

[Artemis]

Greece- the limo

:: sitting in the back, Alycia crossed her long legs and examined her finely manicured nails as the limo began to pull off. as the driver's voice spoke over the intercom, Alycia looked up sharply...::

that VOICE!

:: she looked as the doors locked and the limo began to speed up.::

Driver!

:: she scrambled to front end of the cab and began to bang on the window.::

DRIVER STOP! What the HELL do you think you're doing!?

:: the limo lurched forward as it accelerated and Alycia fell back, tumbling back to her original seat.::

........Oh that's IT!

:: she hurridly opened her purse and pulled out her 9 mm glock. unaware of just who was in the front end, Alycia crawled back up to the window. this was SO MUCH like the scene the night Master Mold attacked Sharon Kelly and herself! limo, problem, gun drawn....::

you pull this damn limo over RIGHT NOW! I'm a federal agent and I have the power of the U.S. government behind me. I'll BURY you for this you bastard!

:: Alycia bellowed with anger. and as the driver seemed to ignore her, Alycia took aim...and opened fire shooting for the driver's shoulder.::

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas also noticed the car that Alycia got into. He also noticed the psi screen from the driver and the Null Field around the car. He did have his TK, however, and as the limousine sped off, he stepped into his own limousine. As his car sped away towards the embassy, he Castled Alycia with himself, so that he was in the speeding vehicle and she was headed towards the embassy as directed. He noticed that she had actually opened the door to the front of the car, so he had to think fast.

Nicolas decided Erika needed to have an accident. So he ignited the gas tank, causing a catastrophic explosion of the car as it sped down the road. The car was completely destroyed, with debris scattered for several feet. Nicolas teleported safely away right before returning to his car, right beside Alycia. He whispered pleadingly to her.

"That was Erika trying to kill you. I have hopefully struck a blow, but I need you to let me help you. Please stay safe."

Meanwhile, he telepathically contacted Blaze via telepathy.

Blaze, Erika just tried for Alycia. I have her with me for now, butI need to know what you want me to do now. Respond ASAP please.

 

[Black Widow]

Greece: the outskirts of Athens

Haleigh purposely said nothing during the discussion about what to do with Alycia, Stavros, and Ava. Morgan spoke on Erika and Alison filled in the plan for them on the Cassadines, notedly leaving Ava out of the equation. Alison's words about her understanding in time weighed heavily on Haleigh, who was having a harder and harder time with the idea. Mercifully, she was distracted by movement.

"Alycia's off the plane and on the move. Nicolas is stuck in the crowd... Oh no... the Limo's projected path is in the OPPOSITE direction of the embassy... something's WRONG!"

Haleigh said, calling attention to the laptop she'd set up and been tinkering on the past few minutes.

"Wait a minute.... her DNA signature's moved... its gone! No.... there it is... going in the other direction again. Nicolas... he had a hand in it."

 

[Pathfinder]

Grecian Coastline

< The bullet shattered through the black glass and hit the dead driver Erika had propped in front of the window as a human shield in case the attorney had any tricks up her sleeve. She slowly rolled the remains of the window back and Alycia saw none other than Ava Cassadine who cracked an evil smile. >

"Miss Barnett, so we meet again.. You know there are laws and in Greece it is STILL illegal to be in the car without your SEATBELT!"

< With the flick of her hand, glowing black energy orbs hit Alycia and threw her back into her seat, restricting her body in the way a seatbelt would. Erika laughed as she continued on driving even more recklessly, Alycia noticing the coastline as they continued on. >

"Sorry Alycia, but this time your wits will do you no GOOD this time.. If you want to take out the Cassadine family, then you will DEAL with all of us, and once my sister gets here we can take care of you the way it was intended all along...Now be a good passenger!"

< She looked back and noticed that now Nicholas was inside the Limo and Alycia was nowhere to be seen. She sighed as she looked at him with udder disdain and screamed out. >

"Oh JESUS CHRIST! Nicholas! I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS!"

< Before he could make another movement Erika unleashed a torrent of Witchfire onto his body, the fire burning him completely. The fire was magickal and wind could not put it out, only magick could. Nicholas was surely too distracted to use his own powers at the moment. She capitalized on that as the car itself set on fire due to his own telekinetic powers. Apparantely he wasn't as unfocused as she thought. She teleported out as it crashed off the cliff and into the night sky. She was now just at the coastline. >

"I will KILL THEM BOTH before this night is over!"

< She looked at the other Limo zooming ahead, no doubt with Alycia and on the way to the Embassy as she lifted her hands up and looked at the Ocean. She was one with the water and always had been. She knew she could get still catch up with the Limo. >

"You wont get off that easy..."

< Rising the waters up with her elemental power she formed what appeared to be a wave of water. As she stepped on top she began to ride the wave at great speed as it was gaining ground to the Limo. She would catch up to the woman soon enough. She would catch up to BOTH of them soon eough. >


Edited For Nicholas' Post:
