:: If Jasmine thought her remarks about Alexis' drinking problem were a sure fire way to piss off the metahuman, she was far off base. Actually, the fact that she would go for the low blows so soon further showed Alexis just how much of an act this "icy exterior" was. Clearing her throat as the woman ranted on now about her husbands, at this point, Alexis couldn't help but let out a small laugh. ::

"It was five actually...but, who's counting?"

:: Narrowing her eyes, she watched the mutant carefully as she made her way over to the bar pouring herself a glass of champagne. Again, offering Alexis some, she simply tilted her head rolling her eyes away. Looking to Haleigh, she actually wanted Alexis to give this perverse little prick a chance? HA, right. She was nothing like Blaze. Blaze had class, this bitch, she reaked imbred hilibilie trying so desperately to make herself seem all "big and bad". Such a waste of time and energy... ::

"You're waisting your time trying to get a rise out of me. I've heard all this bullshit before, three times over again. So come up with some new material or shut your mouth."

:: Running her tongue along her teeth, Alexis glanced over to Alison hearing how she knew about Frost. Lowering her brows every so slightly, now she was the one hiding information. Lifting her hand up to the bridge of her nose, she gently scratched it with her manicured nail showing she was in fact a bit irritated at not only Jasmine, but Haleigh and Alison as well. It would be nice sometimes to get included in thier little loop of theirs. Keeping her eyes locked on Alison, the blonde waited for her to answer. ::
 
::Alison sneered with contempt as Jasmine attempted to bait both herself and Alexis. she looked over at Alexis as the metahuman suggested that Alison just "blow the bitch up" or let Alexis turn her to ash. INDEED it would be easy enough to expunge her right then and there. Alison had done it before countless times and while KILLING wasnt a problem for the dark mage and her OWN "adventurer's" past was filled with violence . but that was a story for another day. Even as Alison allowed Jasmine to make her stand, she snapped back EVEN AS Haleigh asked Alison what Jasmine was talking about::

YOU think too much of yourself...FROST.

:: folding her arms, and leaning on one leg slightly....Haleigh and Alexis had a chance to observe just how tight and feminine Guardian's body was. she often hid it in her trademark form fitting body suits but every so often, she knew how to shock everyone with her personal wardrobe::

Jasmine Klein came to Illustra WEEKS ago. She attempted to gain entry into the company, taking an entry level position as a receptionist. But i knew why she was there even as she went through the process. I personally blocked her from trying to gain an audience with Morgan herself because i KNEW she intended to use her physical appearence as psychological warfare and would try to asassinate her. Coming from Limbo only days EARLIER, we were ALL still feeling the lingering emotional effects of the NERVOUS caper..and I...well...I was still in a state of reflection...having been snatched from the brink of death by Ororo after Haleigh and the rest of the team rescued Morgan and I from the Super Soldier.


In YOUR case, I knew that Morgan was NOT prepared for this. NONE OF US wants to suffer through a repeat of Inferno. This team has FINALLY began to come together, and I wont allow some selfish child bent on VENGEANCE come and ruin the progress we have made.

You went behind Morgan and Alycia's back after i sent you away from Illustra and you strong armed the accountant/manager of XS into selling this place to YOU under the table..including the deed. HE left town. You did this BEFORE Alycia could execute Blaze's WILL and pass the club to Morgan LEGALLY.

When Alycia finds out about this..she WILL bury you litigation and DESTROY your credit/reputation and bring you under the scrutiny of the NYC police department..not to mention alerting the GOVERNMENT to your whereabouts..and once i tell her that Victor was here.....hmmm wont SHARON KELLY have a FIELD DAY gathering federal forces together to dismantle YOUR little clan...piece by piece.

Now...do you REALLY want to play hard ball? Because I think...in fact i KNOW you will lose.

::Alison hoped that Morgan wouldnt show up until AFTER Jasmine capitulated....she hoped this woman would be SMART enough to realize that Alison was DEADLY serious::
 
Haleigh stared at Frost... an incredulous look on her face. She had been trying to lessen the blows she feared were coming to Jasmine... and here she was, trying to make things WORSE! Haleigh's expression turned mean as Jasmine leaned into her, her brow furrowing in anger. Haleigh grabbed Frost's arm as she stood back up, her hand hot and BURNING into Frost's arm. Her voice was a low growl, showing that she was NOT amused, and least of all by the 'copulate' comment.

"You'd BETTER cut it out... there's only SO far I'm willing to go and you are OUT of line here!"

Haleigh turned to listen to Alison speak... she seemed to have a calm head about things, even as she put Frost coldly in her place. Oh yes... Haleigh knew what it was like to be on the receiving end of Alison's wrath... and though Haleigh and Alison werent exactly best friends... she was most certainly in a better position now, and didnt care to lapse back.... so she WISELY kept silent here, relaxing her forehead against Zach's cheek as he tuck her stray hair back behind her ear.
 
<< Morgan was now on the upper level....having changed again into her original outfit...her hair was now pulled back into a sleek pony tail. she sighed with content as she drank on an aquafina water...making her way to where EVERYONE ELSE was>>

<<having greeted and thanked many high profile guests....the climax of the evening's events had been reached and now, many guests were heading to more intimate settings or "after parties" of their own. Morgan decided now was the time to rejoin her group.....and see what they wanted to do. She hadnt saw Delilah since the show ended but was sure she knew how to find the private lounge by now. Boris and Diddy were going to have the escalade super stretch brought around and she thought it would be nice for everyone to ride together...but soon, her peacefull, happy feeling would be shattered for just as Alison had put Frost in her place and Haleigh was now getting on her case....Morgan's high heeled boots could be heard clicking down the hall toward that room.....>>

<< a moment of shock and uncertainty was close at hand.>>
 
** She didn't expect any of these prissy little women to understand, all of them were more worried about fashion, reputations, and trying to intimate the wintery mutant. But none of it mattered, she had strings everywhere and as Alison attempted to rip her a new asshole she just laughed in all of their faces. **

"Cute, you all carry on like this is a support group but I can give you Cameron's number, but the way where is that stud muffin?"

** She perked a curious brow, perhaps maybe Jasmine knew but that would be half a guess. Sipping her champagne she roughly shoved Haleigh back down to the couch, "sit down hot stuff."


** Jasmine knew Morgan was on her way and no doubt she would incinerate the mutant, they probably all would. It was one against a whole group and Morgan was the worst of them all besides Alison. She'd have to face blonde someday, but instead of causing more chaos she stood there with her arms crossed against her heart. What came next would probably leave several nasty scars but that's karma for you. The enigma's green eyes washed over to the door, waiting for her bitter enemy to show. There was no getting around or side stepping. Morgan would show and hell hath no fury like Spellbinder!

Haleigh sunk haphazardly into the sofa as Jamine pushed her forcefully back... and she was ready to spring RIGHT BACK across the coffee table and tackle the brazen girl to the floor, but Zach sensed this and wrapped his arms around her to dampen her motion and calm her... and so she regained her composure and leaned back into the sofa, crossing one leg over the other at the knee.

"We ARE a support group... by the simplest definition. We are a group and we SUPPORT each other... it is the ONLY reason we have survived thus far..."

Haleigh glanced to her left, looking through the glass panels past the balcony, at the disippating crowd. She stared out for a few seconds before quickly turning to look at the opposite wall. A LARGE flat panel screen is displaying a digitized visualization that was in synch with Peter J. Wilhousky's "Carol of the Bells" the song that was playing softly inside the lounge. [You've heard the song... it is used in the Christmas commercials for Victoria's Secret. ;)] Haleigh seemed to perk up.... and she spoke warily as Morgan's footsteps began to sound outside the lounge.

"Morgan's coming...." sure enough, a 16x8 inch window appeared in the top right corner of the screen, displaying a video feed that showed Morgan coming down the corridor. Haleigh turned to look up at Jasmine, a stern expression on her face.

"I'm not speaking to you to enjoy the sound of my own voice... I'm trying to save you some pain, Kid. I don't know why I'm wasting my breath, you haven't listened to me ALL NIGHT... in fact, you've done nothing short of SPITTING IN MY FACE... but who knows... maybe this time itll stick. You had BETTER lay your FIGHT FACE to rest... because unlike myself, Morgan will NOT be entertained by your futile attempts for dominance... if ANYTHING... she will find it even LESS amusing than Alison and Alexis have."
 
<< Morgan rounds the corner and appears in the doorway....pushing through with a surprising smile on her face....>>

well, that went well enough. I think Illustra Inc and Sean John Inc accomplished what we had hoped for and MORE.....dont you think..... <<GASP!!>>

<< her icy violet eyes stopped on ...."BLAZE!?">>

<< Morgan stopped speaking....as her expression became one of utter disbelief....she dropped her drink on the floor as she stood....dumbfounded>>


what ..in the name of Hecate is THIS!?

<< she struggled to find words....>>

WHAT IS THIS!?

Haleigh...Alexis....ALISON!?

<<thunder rumbled in the air....as Morgan staggered back with SHOCK...before her eyes narrowed...and a chime sounded off...she stepped forward....her shock and agitation were apparent>>

who....WHO ARE YOU!?

<< she glared at Jasmine>>

<< no doubt the sounds of Morgan's distress would NOT go unoticed by Delilah who had audio capabilities far beyond the average human and even most mutants. the situation was now VERY delicate...and Morgan's once happy radiance was quickly being replaced by a hostile and agressive demeanor. she wanted an answer and she wanted it now>>
 
[ Delilah watched the fashion show, cheering Morgan loudly of course. Hearing her speak about Blaze, Delilah discreetly wiped a tear from her eye before getting up for another drink. She had just begun to make her way to the private lounge - arm in arm with both Freddie Ljungberg and Daniel Carter - when she stopped dead: Morgan was yelling. Something was very wrong.

She politely excused herself and hurried the rest of the way to the lounge. Not bothering to knock, she entered. ]

"Morgan, what are you-"

[ And then she saw Jasmine. Her questioning look turned to shock as "Blaze" appeared before her. Looking back and forth from Morgan to Jasmine, something in her told her to reach for her gun. Of course, against her better judgement, she wasn't carrying it. ]

"What is going on here?"
 
:: Cameron King entered the doors of XS for the first time since the death of Blaze Fielding in a rather stunning Dolce&Gabbana suit that seemed to fit the party atmosphere for the evening. Cameron had been out of the country pretty much ever since the Six returned to Illustra after defeating Nervous. He told his friends that he was there to do some recon on the building of the Parthenon in Tokyo but he was in fact training. After sealing off his telepathic powers, he knew that he would have to be much stronger than ever before. He would have to use not only his telekinetic powers but his brute strength as well. He had been studying a rather unknown but extremely powerful form of karate known as Shorin Ryu Shorin Kahn with the Grandmaster of the Art. It had been extremely difficult and though he had been gone for only three weeks, the amazing physical transformation that Cameron had seen. His body was amazing defined. He could almost literally see every muscle on his body. He was more than cut which definitely bolstered his already swelling self confidence. He was well trained and better looking than he had ever been. Tonight on his arm was rather a newcomer to the business known as Aubrey O'Day. She was part of a new musical group that P.Diddy was putting together and since he was a large part of the party the publicity would be great for the beginning of Sean Combs' brainchild. They went to the bar and quickly ordered their drinks when Cameron noticed that he didn't see anybody of the Six in attendance which was extremely strange. He winked to Aubrey. ::

"Hey, Aubrey.. I have to go check in on some people around here.. Get whatever you want put it on my tab and have a great time. I will be back in a few moments.."

:: He went to the VIP part of the club as memories flashed through his head of Blaze, Haleigh and Cameron having some very funny drunken moments. The flashes were interrupted when he heard the yelling of both Alison and Morgan coming from around the hall. ::

"Welcome home, Cameron..."

:: He rushed over to the room wanting to know just what was going on. After everything that had been resolved in the past few weeks, could it all be falling apart this fast. He didn't want to think about it but sure enough as he rounded the corner and entered the room he saw the entirety of the Six with a woman who looked astonishingly like Blaze. Cameron was at a loss for words. He looked at the ground to see scorch marks, no doubt the trademark kill mark of his sister Alison. This was a tense situation. ::

"Um.. Did I miss much while I was gone?"

:: It was a stupid comment to somewhat lighten the moment but he knew he would stay quiet in this situation, taking a moment to look at all the hot looks the Six were in, especially Delilah. So the girl had a little freak flag in her after. He smiled silently to himself and waited for something of an explanation. ::

** Five, four, three, two, one, zero! Morgan's calming voice sounded around the corner as did her heels. The statuesque blonde appeared and immediately Jasmine clenched a fist. It took ALL her might not to attack Morgan, not that she could over power Spellbinder. Her heartbeat slammed inside her chest drastically from the adrenaline soaring throughout her delicate body. Jasmine was probably the smallest besides Delilah both in height and probably weight. Although Haleigh had a twenty - year olds body so it was controversial **

"Hello Morgan."

** She said with a chilly reception but her sage green eyes were a mirror to the fiery mutant who had fought bravely. Noticing Delilah enter, she cursed under her breath. She was surrounded by enemies and her body dropped in temperature. It was instinct for the mutant who manipulated the air to decrease in temperature. She pondered Morgan's demanding question. She really had to write this on a sticky and post it over her forehead. **

"My illegal name is Jasmine Klein but my birth name is...Jasmine Fielding." She allowed Morgan to process this new information. "This isn't trickery either, I'm Blaze's identical twin but unfortunately the Mob has separated us. I came to find Blaze but I was too late..."

** Stepping forward Jasmine stood in front of Morgan. Morgan easily towered over Jasmine and it was in a way comical but not the discussion at hand. Jasmine stared into those icy blue eyes, "I came here for you Morgan...I wanted to see the woman who butchered my sister!" And in another second she lashed out and attempted to slap Morgan across the cheek with all her might. Her eyes filling with tears, "you MURDERED my sister! You horrid creature...I can NEVER try to forgive you for it!" Her anger boiling once more. She didn't back away from Morgan and she was ready to square off. "Your friends tell me, you were pushed but she was your sister! I hope seeing my reflection HURTS because you deserve misery and PAIN! I wonder what Blaze feels....wait she CAN'T!" Her eyes raging as she snarled, ignoring the rest of the Six. It was an emotional scene that would cause turmoil no doubt but it had to be covered. Jasmine's eyes flashed a brilliant ice shade as she locked eyes with those violent irises Morgan had. Her chest heaving as she stood. Morgan could terminate her in the blink of an eye. "What is the great Morgan gonna do? KILL two sisters? Go ahead but make sure you stab in the heart, I wanna look into your eyes when you do!" She challenged with spite. **
 
:: Alexis' eyes widdened hearing Jasmine's harsh words to Morgan. Shit...this wasn't good. Catching Cameron walking in, well it was about damn time he showed up to this little pow wow...because you know. Nothing ever stays quiet for long in this god forsaken group of melodramatic people. Bitting her lip gently, Alexis wanted to step forward and stop Jasmine from squaring off with Morgan. Morgan could easily, without hesitation or effort, take Blaze's sister out; but as much as she wanted to break the two up, Morgan needed to deal with this on her own. Inhaling a sharp breath, the moment Jasmine slapped Morgan across the check, Alexis' body stiffened. ::

"Whoa! Hey, look! Morgan might of physically killed Blaze, but we were ALL responsible for her death. We broke Morgan down to her rawest of nature, until she couldn't hold onto her humanity! We drove her to it; so if you want to blame someone for the death of the sister you didn't even KNOW, look around you sweetheart. Because we are ALL to blame."

:: It was one thing to let the woman duke it out, it was another to stand back and watch this pint sized spitfire yell harsh words of blame at Morgan who had come so far to overcome the fact she killed Blaze. The group, as a whole, have come together, and she'd be damned if a woman seeking revenge over a woman she didn't even know, break this team down again. ::
 
<< Morgan looked as Delilah came. her violet eyes were widened with painfull disbelief and as Jasmine spoke...that made it worse.>>

this ISNT POSSIBLE! Blaze doesnt HAVE any sisters BUT ME....and our FATHER IS DEAD!


<< Morgan barely had time to react before she was SLAPPED across the face.......she gasped with shock and horror. shaking her head with disbelief...>>


<< Even as Alexis fired back at Frost....the room began to grow dark as thunder was now rolling in the air. it was a sign the rest of the six had seen before. Morgan's own countenance was darker..as tears began to stream down my face>>

<<in an icy voice>>:how....DARE YOU.......you.......LIAR!!!

<< as her blonde double highlighted hair began to rise and flow, Morgan thrusts her hands up and out...as a chime sounds a BLAST is heard in the air...she unleashes a violent blast of HURRICANE force winds that pick up Jasmine as if she were NOTHING and hurl HER [along with anything that isnt nailed down] across the room into the wall


ITS A TRICK! A PLOY BY MYSTECH!!!

<< the doors slammed shut...trapping everyone in the room as thunder CRASHED all around them>>

WELL I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR LITTLE CRUEL JOKE...BECAUSE ITS THE LAST MOMENT ON EARTH YOU'LL EVER HAVE!

<< Morgan takes aim.....a halo forms around her out stretched clenched fists....as dark magick sparkles around it...she's about to unleashe an massive eldritch bolt at this woman claiming to be Blaze's twin sister. Morgan was going out of her mind...REELING from this IMPOSSIBLE scenario now facing her. She had ONLY JUST begun to find BALANCE in her life following Blaze's death....but it seemed that she would never truly recover..>>
 
"SHUT your hole Alexis! This is not your fight! You all may have been a catalyst but Morgan did the final blow!"

** She spat fiercely at the Metahuman. Turning her blue eyes back onto Morgan, she tensed for an attack. "I'm NOT a liar! I speak the truth! Haleigh can run a DNA check and it will be validated!" A gentle chime rang in her ears as thunder shook the building, startling the mutant. Was Spellbinder a weather witch too? She didn't recall that in the file she read. **

** Her body was violently scooped up like she were a paper clip. Her body flew around in a frenzied circulatory motion as she neared the wall. Targeting the wall with her eyes, enabling her to keep her focus like an ice skater performing a double loop. She outstretched her hands and formed a bright display of ice that flew into the wall. Manipulating the water levels to soften as she collided with her ice net that caught her before hand. Slumping down the wall, her eyes flashed a metallic shade. Inhaling a sharp breath like she were blowing her body like a blow fish. And when she exhaled large ice spikes protruded from all over her body as she doubled in her physical size. Her human body disappearing to resemble an ice woman of sorts. Her skin blended with tints of white, blue, and silver. **

"Now, you pissed me off bitch!"

** She rushed forward and flipped vertically again to dodge a chair hurling her way. Coming around the corner she moved like lightning in her speed due to her increased energy levels. At the last second rectangular glass table collided with Jasmine but it immediately froze from contact. Smashing the material with her bare fist, the table shattered into a million pieces. Those tiny pieces melted away but were picked off in the air. Her energy source was descending greatly the more she used this newer power. She would have to power down. Her human body returning with those green eyes when a chair smashed into Jasmine. Slamming backwards into the ground she grabbed her shoulder painfully. Pushing herself she was dazed but climbed to her feet. Around this time she saw Morgan channeling some sort of magick. **

"I speak the truth you homicidal trainwreck!" Reaching up, she yanked a necklace and threw it towards the floor. It was a heart shaped locket of twins, one read 'Blaze' and the other read 'Jasmine.' "Why would I lie." The pain in her shoulder throbbed as she dealt with the pain. "I speak the truth, Blaze NEVER knew she had a sister! She was abandoned as a child..." She began to fall on one knee, her eyes locked onto Morgan. Her own hair a royal mess from the wind attack from earlier. "Do it! Just proves how right I am about you....a monster!"
 
:: Cameron listened to the woman with his eyes wide open. Blaze had an identical twin sister and now Morgan had to look at the metaphorical ghost of her dead sister. He could only feel sympathy for Morgan and then intense hatred for this Jasmine woman. He was about to lose it. Who the hell did she think she was coming in here on a night to honor Blaze and drop a bombshell like this. Prophet wasn't about to have it. He stepped forward as Morgan exercised the same loss of control she did when the first Inferno had transpired and he couldn't allow it to happen again. ::

"We need to separate them! Get Morgan away from her! Get her somewhere for interrogation! We can't have a blow out like this on a night with such publicity!"

:: For whatever reason he instantly felt like he hated Jasmine. Be it the way she presented herself or the fact that the woman standing before them was the polar opposite of Blaze. Blaze was fiery and passionate and Jasmine was cold and distant. He went at Jasmine with a speed that the group had never seen him use before as out of his hands sprung a rope that was composed of telekinetic energy that surrounded Jasmine before she could even blink. He pulled the rope tight with his mind until it almost restricted her breathing. He hadn't seen her power but he knew it was most likely an elemental power if she truly was Blaze's sister. Tugging the rope back and forth he sent Jasmine flaying into each side of the wall repeatedly, each smash into the walls more harsh than the next. Finally with a last bow he shot out a powerful beam of force at Jasmine that sent her plummeting into the far wall of the hall as she hit it so hard she actually cracked through it slightly. He wanted to knock her out.::

"I know this is hard, Morgan, but we can't just kill her. If she speaks the truth or even if she is a cowardly liar, we have to at least know!"
