:: Cameron flew back into the back of the Hallway due to Morgan's random blast of anger and rage. He stood up and dusted himself off as he looked at the witch with a glaring look. This was so typical of her. He hadn't even raised his voice and this was how she was reacting? This bitch needed to be knocked down a peg or two, torn up. For a brief moment he actually understood her father's want to control her. Maybe it would have done the woman good to have been dead or locked in a cell than running around likes he owned everything. Dusting himself off he lifted his head high and rolled his eyes, shrugging off the pain in his lower back before agreeing with everything that Haleigh had just said as he turned his gaze away from Morgan and now to Blaze ::

"Exactly Haleigh. Blaze, let's not forget the next time who was being the civil one there. I tried but as you can see it's impossible for those two big ass egos to share a room with anything that has an individual opinion. I tried Blaze, but I am through. And MORGAN, maybe you should RETHINK the way you treat people if you want to even keep this precious SIX together. I guess you are so stubborn you can't even listen to Ororo. She said we needed to stick together and get through this and yet here you are. PATHETIC! Let me know when you've deflated...."

:: Prophet wasn't going to deal with any of this right now. Unless someone had anything of any weight to add to the situation, he didn't care about it. He looked at all three of them and he could only laugh at their behavior. ::

"I never thought I would see the day when I look at Blaze, Alison and Morgan and Alison is the person I like the MOST..."
 
**Shutting her eyes tightly, Blaze's emotions were escalating as her skin became intensely hot. The icy cold air increased in temperature the more the bickering unfolded. Blaze was always the middle person and right now she was overwhelmed by trying to play neutral to both parties, sticking up for both. She heard Cameron crash into a stepping disk, and Morgan screaming at the top of her lungs, and Haleigh speaking her peace. Bolting up right, Blaze's eyes flamed over to their eerie yellow shade. **

"ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL of you shut the FUCK up for once and get over it! Don't you see, its not just ONE of you, its ALL of you fuckers! If you would all come off your privileged life styles and actually WORK together you would see what I do, the GOOD in each of you. But instead I'm SUCKED into this void of arguments and bitch fighting. And I've HADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! Until ALL of you get your shit together, DON'T come near me!!"

** Blaze yelled at the top of her lungs, which echoed off the walls. She quickly walked past the remaining members, walking out the door, slamming it. A large painting falling off the wall, Blaze's body became hotter as she was engulfed in flames. She had lost her temper, which she usually didn't but these people were driving her mad. **
 
<< Morgan wanted to do something TERRIBLE to Haleigh...but just as her runaway riptide of rage began....she realized that she had FAILED the test Ororo said would come. She had defeated her own purpose. Even HALEIGH...the demented, homicidal woman had spoken nuggets of wisdom in her surprisingly CALM retort>>

<< Morgan gritted her teeth as she glared at the woman...when FOXFIRE then joined the parade of outbursts.....storming out of the penthouse like an enraged roman candle...as the expensive panting by the door crashed to the floor...Morgan stared at the double doors slamming...then she slowly turned back to look over at Alison...who sat on the couch...seemingly emotionless....and then she looked back at Haleigh>>

Get out.

<< Spell waved her hand...in the twinkling of her eye...Haleigh was now in the hallway via stepping disc...and the warding spell now at FULL POWER as the silver mystic flames cascaded up the length of the doors>>
 
** Making her way downstairs from the express elevators, Blaze reached the spa area where the pool was kept. She definitely needed to cool off right now, running forward she lunged into the air where her flaming body hit the calm chlorine water, which steamed over as Blaze's body sunk to the bottom. Shutting her eyes at the icy cold temperature of the pool, she let her mind settle. Usually she kept her temper in check but whenever stressed or overwhelmed, Blaze would fail. A few bubbles rising to the surface of the pool while she kicked her legs up and swam to the surface. Slowly her head poked out from the ocean blue pool, her hair slicked back smoothly. Taking a deep breath, Blaze rubbed the water from her eyes. Swimming to the shallow end and then getting out. Her suit tightly slung to her athletic body and her hair curled from being soaked. Sitting down on the lounge chair, Blaze thought about what she had said, a pint of guilt washed over her. **

** She didn't understand why any of them couldn't get along except for Haleigh and Cameron, she knew why with those two. Believe it or not she liked all of them and seemed to get along fine. Peering up at the sky, Blaze just needed some air. Her temper had dropped drastically. She chuckled, she probably acted like an insane woman released from the psych. ward. She would apologize in due time, but right now it was best to leave everyone alone. **
 
<< Morgan put her hand to her head and exhaled with a weary look on her face>>

dear goddess...i have failed. i could not abide their putrid presence...nor their lack of regard for alison or respect for me.

I should have them thrown OUT of this building...and say to HELL with The Six.....dealing with those two bastards is worse than trying to traverse the nine levels of HELL.

<<turning back to see Alison....who surprisingly had said NOTHING during the entire time, Morgan slowly went back to where she once sat>>

well Alison...as you can see...although some things have changed..OTHERS have more than stayed the same. :rolleyes:

I dont know if i can do this much long Ali.... << stopping herself from saying more on that...Morgan concentrated on the task at hand>>

Alison......about what Cameron said....did you hear him ..at all??
 
::Standing by the panoramic window with Morgan::

Don't worry about it Morg. Those two could make GHANDI consider violence. They are nasty, amoral, back stabbing, double dealing, self serving, loathsome creatures who represent the WORST and most BASE instincts in a human without moral restraint.

::hearing herself say this....she realized that Ororo had said the EXACT same thing back in Limbo::

I don't think Cameron appreciated me telling on him the way i did..but who cares. Those two didnt care that you had been gone or WHY you had left....they only cared about his precious marketing blitz for the parthenon. Personally...i think they are using you. They have taken the circumstance of The Six and used it to gain an inroad to Illustra.

::she folded her arms::

and Cameron must enjoy his "lines" of recreation when no one is watching....he kept saying something about US being related?...like i could ever hail from the same demented, diseased gene pool that he crawled out from. :eyeroll:

::she could see Morgan was clearly distressed...and she wanted to comfort her dear friend::

Look, dont worry !! you came to help me and Lady Ororo when we needed it...you've NEVER been bound by this fashion industry..you left it once before to help Valiant remember?? and through that, you found your sister! All of this that we went through with the Citadle...again was because YOU wanted to save your sister from Christopher. TO HELL with what Cam and Haleigh said..i know you've got a heart...and i know why you keep it hidden..because people like THEM would take advantage. We'll be allright...even without them.

:: she put her hand on Morgan's shoulder:: I'm going to head down the hall to my quaters .....i need rest. If you need me for anything..give me a shout. But in the mean time, just calm down...Blaze will be returning soon, and you two can talk about things. She is always good at giving you another way to look at a situation. YOU told me that yourself.
 
<<Morgan looked at Alison>>

I'm glad your back. Im going to need you if im expected to not MURDER those two.

<<they both laughed as they hugged>>

Alright...im going to clean up that frame that fell down and just chill out.....if you see Blaze on your way to your apartment........


<<she stopped herself. Alison had already said Blaze would arrive soon enough...so there was no need>>

OH.......Alison, put a warding spell on all points of entry to your apartment, and contact the security center of Illustra..i want Cameron and Haleigh monitored at ALL times by ALL monitoring and anti personell devices.

::she waved her hand as the massive double doors to her penthouse opened for Alison. watching as her friend departed...the doors closed and her spells activated once more::

Thank the GODDESS Alison is here...all those nonsense generated by those two CLODS is taking its toll on me AND Blaze.........what ELSE am i going to have to deal with for "the sake of The six"!?

<< she threw her hands up in the air as her smooth, modern jazz music came back on and her lighting system faded up a few levels providing a suitable illumination around the sprawling penthouse. she began to clean up the mess.>>
 
** After what seemed like half an hour or so, Blaze headed to her apartment to take a quick shower and change into some track pants and a shirt sleeved shirt, she had the athletic look going with her sneaky clean white Nike shoes. She breathed heavily, her mind was on Morgan. She could tell her sister had been stressed and that's why she went berserk on the other two, her own mother did the same. **

"I need to see her."

** Blaze made her way up to Morgan's top level apartment and knocked onto the door. She was aware of the warding spells, thus why she didn't bother to touch the door handle of the posh apartment. Her hands fell in front of her, her body language was easily to read. She was ready to approach Morgan, after all sometimes even sister's needed a moment. **
 
<<the double doors opened...as a cold breeze flowed out to meet Blaze and chimes were heard before the sound of smooth, modern jazz. Blaze didnt see Morgan right away...as she was busy cleaning up but she knew it was okay for her to come in>>


<<once inside the doors closed...and Blaze could see Morgan just on the side of the door, preparing to vaccum the glass debris up from the frame>>

<<in an icy voice>>: Hello Blaze.......<<she didnt look up right away>>....are you allright?
 
:: Cameron was in the elevator after everyone had left and made his way back to the front door of Haleigh's penthouse. He was going to wait for her, no doubt so that the two could talk about the entire situation and the self righteousness of those two bitter wenches. He couldn't help but notice how shocked that Alison looked when he had mentioned they were related. She must have supressed it or something to that effect. It was a tragedy and torrid situation for Cameron. On one hand he wanted desperately to reach out to Alison, to learn about his past and his family and on the other he wanted nothing to do with Alison and wished she WOULDN'T have come back from Ororo's Garden. He pondered the thought as he slouched down to the door and decided that he would just meet up with Haleigh later. Getting back into the elevator, he went down the ground level. As he reached the Lobby Floor of Illustra he began to head out of the doors when he bumped into a young and seemingly distraught woman. She was a young woman around Cameron's age with blonde hair and sparkling brown eyes and she seemed to know who Cameron was. She stopped him dead in his tracks and grabbed onto his bicep, looking deep into his eyes before speaking softly. ::

Woman: You're... Cameron King right? ::sniffles:: My name.. my name is Rachel, and I need your help. I need the help of the Six...

:: Prophet immediately thrust her from his arm and took a moment to look at her, she seemed so sincere and so needing of help. But how did she know about the Six and furthermore, how did she know to come to Illustra? Things just didn't make sense, unless she was an agent of Mystech. It was probably another hit on his life. He stepped back and eyed the woman. ::

"You need the help of the Six? Oh Come on, you're from Mystech right? Come to kill us all have you?"

:: The young woman looked at him in a way that Cameron could hardly break her gaze as a tear ran down her face. ::

Rachel: Yes, I am from Mystech, but that is why I need help.. look just take me somewhere safe so that we can talk.. I promise, I am of no threat to you..

:: Cameron pondered the thought for a brief moment, before he sighed. He just felt so bad for her which was something Cameron didn't often experience. Grabbing her hand he began to take her back to his penthouse, hoping she wasn't planning on killing them all. ::
 
Haleigh watched Blaze explode... she hadn't seen it coming... but now that she thought about it, it made sense. Blaze was always playing middleman... Haleigh's advice to her was simply to stop. She knew WHY Blaze was always compelled to smooth things over... but it wasn't going to work much longer... something was going to give eventually.

Haleigh smirked. She'd gotten the best of Morgan... as all Morgan could retort with was "get out"... haleigh knew that DEEP down, on some level... Morgan couldn't disagree with wht hal'd said... and that had to be EATING at her. What haleigh DIDNT know was that Ororo had WARNED Morgan about it... so her words would hit home even more than intended.

"WITH Pleasure." she deadpanned, as she was stepping-disced into the hallway. Haleigh still seemed calm. Haleigh had always been in control of herself... she rarely let her emotions get the best of her.... she started towards the elevator, commenting aloud as though someone where there.

"My My... what TEMPERS that whole dysfunctional family unit has. And that meddlesome SNITCH, Alison.... she might as well change her name to Cleopatra, Queen of DENIAL AND delusional selective memory... Morgan is trying my patience... one of these days... it will run out... and when THAT happens... I'mma HURT that Bitch. BUT... I'll use more TACT than that hoity toity, highfalutin harpy seems to be capable of.... one of these days... I'll hit her where it REALLY hurts. Physical pain fades... I'll leave her mentally and emotionally scarred... thats what LASTS... yes... one of these days. But for now... i feel weak.... I haven't eaten ALL day."

The elevator closed and dinged twice, then opened once more on Haleigh's floor. She stepped off and unlocked her door. Delta and Echo greeted her immediately... and she bent down to scratch them both behind the ears, placing her keys on the small table inside the door. She went into the kitchen and began preparing some dinner. Two messages on her machine... she pressed play. One from Zach, suggesting they get together again soon and telling her he'd be back in the country in two days. One from Cass asking how the meet with Frederik went and reminding her about the next photoshoot they had scheduled. big name rap artists wanted new promotional shots for their label. They'd asked to meet directly with the top execs.

"Wonderful." Haleigh commented, cooking something on the stovetop. At least its bring in some good money.

** Patiently Blaze awaited for the alarms to be disengaged. She wasn't so sure Morgan even wanted to see her after her alarming behavior earlier. The sound of the double doors opening caused her to look forward and a gentle breeze flowed through her now dry hazelnut trestles. Stepping forward, Blaze listened to the soulful sound of jazz playing in the background, a genre she knew rather well from Morgan. Looking around for her sister, Blaze crept down the hallway when she noticed her sister vacuuming the mess she had caused. **

"I'm sorry about my behavior earlier....I felt so overwhelmed with everyone. Everytime there's some sort of conference between us, an argument stirs. I had enough and I lost my temper."

** Not getting Morgan's attention was a sign she was either upset with Blaze or she pretended to be "okay" with the whole situation. Either way, Blaze disliked it. It felt like a "silent" treatment except without visualization from Morgan. Carefully she stepped over the glass, firmly pressing her palm down onto Morgan's shoulder, but not enough to harm her. **

"I'm sorry about your painting, I'll pay for it. I did after all cause this mess."

** Whenever Blaze lost her temper she became destructive, a part of her she shared with Christopher. It seemed a short temper ran in their family, especially with Morgan. Looking down, Blaze felt ashamed of her actions, almost like a child throwing a temper tantrum. And what was worse? She was usually the calm level headed one of the bunch, with her outbursts here and there. An awkward silence filled the apartment, Blaze quietly listening to the sounds of the music in the background. Placing her right hand into her back pocket while adding more weight to her right hip. **

"I don't expect you to speak with me Morgan, I only came to apologize for my behavior. You're probably preparing to rest or relax, I can go."

** Blaze motioned towards the door but she didn't move the rest of her body. She wouldn't leave unless Morgan desired it. She awaited a response from Morgan.
 
<< Morgan pointed and the vaccum followed her direction...returning to its storage closet down the hall from the sunken in living room. the machine moved right into the closet and the door closed behind it. Morgan took the damaged frame and propped it up against a chair of a small table across the way....before walking back to the double doors and looking down at Blaze>>

let's have a seat in the sitting area , shall we?

<< Morgan lead the way....and seated herself elegantly on the leather sectional..crossing her legs at the knee as she leaned back against the back of the sectional and looked over Blaze with her icy violet eyes>>

<<in an icy voice>>: don't worry about the picture...it can be fixed. there's something more pressing to address....

<<thunder rumbled in the air around the skies as the large , shimmering full moon shown through the floor-to-ceiling panoramic window>>

this team....the state of it....Alison....and something else. there are things i need to discuss with you....in case things progress to a point ...beyond my control.
 
- "Rachel" now sat in Cameron King's Penthouse Apartment. This was like taking candy from a baby. How easily he was manipulated. Rachel was in fact non existant. A simple illusion she had crafted like a Spider weaving a web. Rachel was none other than Kelly King, and she was continuing her assignment to get rid of the Six. She could take the chance right now, but something had curbed her enthusiasm as Cameron spoke a little weary of how the Six would exactly be able to help Rachel. -

Cameron: To tell you the truth, Rachel, I am not sure if The Six is in the best position to help you. We are down a member and right now there has been a lot of conflict. With Morgan, Haleigh, Blaze, Alison and myself at each other's throats, I just don't... well that is none of your concern.. Tell me more about your situation. You said before you were a Doctor for Mystech?

- It was too late to go back now, Kelly had gotten some good information from Cameron. The Six was near dissention within the ranks. Sure, it was only Kelly's assignment to get rid of Alison and Cameron which in itself would terminate the Six, but if she could successfully murder each and everyone of them. She would become a legend. Just then a surge went across Kelly's own PSI Screen. She could sense that Cameron was trying to mentally probe her for information. Sighing inside, she created another illusion in his mind that she was in fact Rachel, planting fake memories as he scanned "Rachel's" mind. Obviously pleased with his findings, he stopped and Kelly continued to think of the ways that she could bring down the Six as she continued on with her tragic story. -

"I was a Doctor for Mystech in the Experimental Surgery Department. It wasn't so bad in the beginning, but then the demands became too much. Gene splicing, mutating humans, fusing them with mutants, infecting people with the Techno Organic Virus. It was too much for me to handle. I threatened to expose them. For whatever reason they began to view me as a threat and that night sent agents out after me. Mystech is VERY much alive Cameron, you may have thought you stopped them with the sealing of the Citadle, but they are back in business and now a mark has been placed on my head.. and I need help.. I just don't know what do TO..."

- She began to cry softly, placing her hands in her face as she lowered her head. Kelly laughed to herself as her son placed his hand on her shoulder and seemed to be comforting her. He obviously had taken from his putrid older sister, Erika. Which led her to think just where Erika was. If she was even still alive. The first night she had came back, Kelly tried to sense her but felt absolutely nothing. Which meant she was dead, no longer a witch, or had placed a protection spell over her. Kelly knew about the spell over Cameron and Alison as it was extremely hard to break that in order to find them. Oh yes. This was going to be a fun event. The seeds she would plant within their minds would not only spread uncertainty and dissention among the ranks, but would tear friends apart, all until they rested in the palm of her hand. Then she would strike, pitting each of them against each other, until everyone was dead. Then Kelly would collect the heads of them all and proudly enter Mystech, knowing she had completed her mission. "Rachel" looked up at Cameron, her deep brown doe eyes pouting as she spoke once more. -

"Can I at least meet the rest of the group? Maybe I can convince them. I just don't know where else to turn to..."
 
** Morgan had cleaned up the debris in a matter of seconds. Her sparkling hunter eyes followed the same path of the vacuum, watching it disappear inside the closet with the door closing in behind it. Blaze could tell by the serious expression on her sister's face, something important was about to be discussed. Approaching the leather sectional, Blaze sat down, mimicking her sister's own movements. She was curious now, what did they need to discuss? **

** The sound of thunder startled Blaze who glanced over her shoulder to peer out the window. It either radiated from a storm or Morgan, but for some reason Blaze herself was on edge. She felt almost as though a storm was approaching but she couldn't prepare for it. The tiny hairs on her arms erected as did the same on her neck. Blaze felt the tension in the air, chaos was soon to go down, she sensed it. Turning her head at the neck, her eyes slide back onto Morgan. Her silhouette shimmered with the lighting from the full moon. Her ears perked up at the mention of the team as a deep frown cringed her features. **

"What do you mean things beyond your control Morgan? What aren't you telling me?"

** Blaze was always direct with Morgan, an asset most people never shared. Both questions were firm and to the point. The suspense was killing her but Morgan's riddled statement intrigued her. She needed to know more of this topic. Leaning back against the back of the couch, Blaze rested her head. Even in the darkness of the night, she felt more calm around Morgan than with Haleigh and Cameron. Everyone behaved differently, she knew. She made a mental note to meet Haleigh later for their business arrangements, but right now she was more concerned with the topic at hand. **
 
<<Spellbinder shifted casually as she continued to address Foxfire..Tinkerbell came out again...she seemed much calmer and happier. she was fond of her "auntie" Blaze...and decided to go over to her...while Morgan was talking>>

<<in an icy voice>>: while i was in Limbo with Ororo, i confessed to her that if i could..i would KILL haleigh and cameron. i loathe them blaze...and i do NOT trust them...which is why...i want you to STAY WAY from Haleigh. She is not who she seems to be....and although i have not begun to further investigate her with my magicks...even ORORO has remarked on her homicidal tendencies and her amoral detachment from basic human decency. She is a danger to us all. and Alison...WE..you and I HAVE to protect her from Cameron and Haleigh...She does not REMEMBER finding out that Cameron is her brother....and Cameron and Haleigh intend to use that as leverage against her! I will NOT allow that to happen. I have already directed our security and anti personnell tracking and technology to monitor and survey them AT ALL TIMES ANYWHERE in this building...they will not be aware of this..and my buildings tech will monitor their every move and word and even their vital signs.

the reason why i cannot kill haleigh...or cameron leads directly to the next issue.

<<thunder rumbled again...as the dark clouds seem to be billowing and swirling outside the panoramic windows of the penthouse>>

somethings happening to me Blaze....i'm changing...ever since i activated my link to Limbo....traveling there...spending time there....things have begun to change! Ororo sensed it....and WARNED me that i MUST control myself and my violent outbursts...that i MUST LEARN how to think outside of myself and remain ABOVE the tactics and ways of haleigh and cameron...not only for the sake of myself and my soul...but for the sake of this time...and even the CITY...

<<the thunder grow louder in its rumbling>>

Ororo ...said that i could begin a progression...similar to that of my alternate, Darkchilde..the magicks and dark power of limbo corrupting me to the point that i lose myself in darkness.....she is trying to help me....she HERSELF is an example...but she stole her soul BACK from Belasco.....as did Darkchilde.

But ....i dont know if im STRONG enough.....for all my power...my bitterness, my distrust of men...my hatred of cameron and haleigh as well as my distrust of them....ALL prevent me from truly overcoming this...and if i do not heed Ororo's words and LEARN....

<<she pauses....the outcome of a total loss of control on her part...and the full unleashing of her magick would spell DIRE consequences for EVERYONE involved>>
 
sistery advice

** Sitting in a stupor, Blaze couldn't believe what she just heard. This news was unnerving to the usual sensible attitude Blaze carried about her. Her mind fluttered with inklings and connections to Morgan's own agitated outburst earlier. Shifting her weight on the couch, Blaze now understood Morgan's sudden altered consciousness. At least now she was prepared in a way, but at the mention of Haleigh and Cameron, she was put on defense. Blaze knew her sister looked out for her, even mentoring her. But to demand she keep away was an obstacle Blaze couldn't do. Leaning closer to Morgan, Blaze shook her head. **

"Morg....I value your opinions, thoughts, and concern but I get a different feeling from the both of them. As selfish and self conceited they MAY be, I see human characteristics out of them. And Haleigh and I share much in common, especially a military background. I can't speak for her, my emotions are more rapid and passionate. But I know the torture and pain I suffered at the hands of my past and I know Haleigh went through a tragic ordeal. Now, I'm not making excuses for her...but there's a REASON why she's withdrawn and somewhat aloof. Like you, there is a heart from her and if anyone can sense it, its me."

"I've spoken with Cameron on a professional level or affairs of the six. What I do know is...he doesn't trust anyone but himself and even Haleigh and Vivica. The cause of this I'm not sure, but what I can see is he does care for Alison. I think she provokes him and he retorts with that macho bravado of his. To me, he's not a bad person and I think if he wasn't so pompous all the time, then perhaps he would be easier to befriend. I find him mysterious and alluring, not to mention attractive in a suit. He does what he can to survive even if it requires some backstabbing and lying here and there."

** Noticing Tink, Blaze scooped her up onto the couch. Placing the Siamese cat on her lap while gently stroking her silky soft fur. Blaze was careful to choose her words carefully, if she did say the wrong sentence, Morgan would lash out and that would cause an altercation, something Blaze detested. **

"I also believe your blood lust to kill the both of them is part of your link to Limbo. A world where demons and beasts run free until their beloved Queen returns. What you fail to see, what's happening now is....you're already losing your soul. The Morgan I know and love may detest a few individuals but she never threatens to kill them. I think its a bad decision and I feel like your darkness is taking in control of you. Ororo you said once was robbed of her soul, you must FIGHT this Morgan! If not for yourself then for me."

** Reaching over with both her hands, Blaze wrapped them warmly around Morgan's smooth pale hands. Emerald locking with violet, a look both often shared. Taking a deep breath, Blaze was still in shock. **

"Please Morgan....leave Cameron and Haleigh alone. I sense the good in them and my blood hasn't been tainted. You can be suspicious of them but we need them, whether you want to admit it or not. And as I said I'm becoming close with Haleigh. I know its difficult for you to let others in, I accept that. But as you once told me.....control your impulses otherwise it'll be your downfall. If I went around burning everyone on my shit list, then there would be a whole hell of a lot of people in this world gone, including that awful President who runs our country. What I'm trying to say is....this killing desire you possess is sucking you in already...."

** Her words slowly faded to just above a whisper. This news frightened Blaze Fielding. She knew her sister could possibly kill both her teammates. If it all came down to it, Blaze would battle her sister if she became utterly destructive, even if it meant dying. The world rested on their shoulders, on the six. Whether they enjoyed it or not, they were required to be connected as a team, just as the X - Men were. And Blaze needed everyone on this team, including Haleigh and Cameron. **
 
<<tinkerbell decided to move down to another spot the sectional...HER spot where she often lay...she was content to be among her mother and her "auntie"...despite the grim seriousness of the conversation>>

<<Morgan was becoming agitated>>

Blaze....i cant believe what I'm hearing! I am your big sister..i have protected you and looked out for you from the moment we met...and realized who we were.
<< the thunder continued to play its crashing symphony as the winds whistled and howled...this was all the result of Morgan's agitiation>>

You.....must not be fooled by them....<< Morgan stood up and walked to the panoramic windows..looking out on the churning skies>>

You cannot be the dimplomat....you MUST listen to me! Ororo HERSELF saw the evil that hovers around Haleigh...and as for Cameron...he is a misogynist...his view of women in general are quite dim...do you think he gives YOU the benefit of the doubt the way you do him?? The night i first met him...he MOCKED our sisterhood....if it HADNT been for Alison...he would not even be ALIVE now but he has not thanked her...not ONCE and yet he spends all his time mistreating and verbally abusing his sister!

<<Morgan gritted her teeth as she clenched her fist>>

The magick in my soul...the arcane energy....it does taint me , as it does Ororo and my alternates...but unlike them...i am FORCED to deal with these....these ungreatful WRETCHES! I provide them with a place to live..and the protection of my anti personnell devices and my magick....I have collaborated with Cameron professionally...and both Illustra and King Enterprises have benefited from it.....but Blaze..i am MORE than a business woman or a sorceress...i DO have a heart..and people i care about..i would NEVER sacrifice you, alison, ororo or my mother for the sake of Illustra...or to get ahead personally... HE WOULD!

Do you think that EITHER of them truly respects you? The only reason Haleigh agreed to help ME rescue you was so that SHE could eliminate MysTech as a rival to Clandestine Intelligence...she didnt care about you, me OR this city!

Going to Limbo...i realized what my magickal heritage means...i have access to dark arcane power that allows me to circumvent time AND space....among other things. With it...i could DESTROY those two....and what I cannot do on earth....i CAN in Limbo! It's stepping discs are MINE to command!!

<<it was clear that Morgan was realizing that her magickal heritage afforded her things that would make it DANGEROUS for Cameron, Haleigh or any other of her enemies to underestimate her>>

If they cross me Blaze...if they jeopardize you, alison or anyone that i care about....i may NOT be responsible for my actions. What im trying to tell you...is that if something happens.....If i should lose control....i want YOU..to take Tink and Alison...and find your way to my mother's....or to contact Ororo...they will keep you safe.
 
:: Cameron looked at Rachel as she began to tell her story of why Mystech was even after her in the first place. He couldn't believe she was actually standing there in front of him. He had gotten out of the Citadle with just barely his life as a consolation prize and yet here she was, alive and well. Prophet decided it was time to check this woman out as he pushed out with his mind, entering hers. At first he didn't even detect her on his scale, which was much how it was with Alison and Morgan, but suddenly, their minds connected as images of Rachel performing surgeries on humans. Images of her crying her eyes out at night due to her work. The night she defied Mystech, she had nearly escaped Shadow Demons. It all checked out. She was telling the truth. Cameron seemed extremely relieved. He rubbed her back as she began to cry softly in her hands. He felt so bad for her. Surely there was something he could do to help. She looked up at him with her big brown doe eyes and asked to meet the rest of the group. Cameron was nervous about that. ::

"Rachel.. I, I don't know if right now is the best time to meet the group. I mean there was just a LOT of tension with some of the other members of the Six and I just don--"

:: Prophet looked at her as she began to cry again. He had to do something. They were the Six and they didn't stop being the Six when some of the members were fighting. Otherwise they would have never stuck together in the first place. He took Rachel by the hand and tried to console her, telling her that it was worth a shot. ::

"You know what.. I am going to see what I can do... Hold on, I just need to contact the right people about this..."

:: Cameron began to scan Illustra until Blaze came on his radar. Tracking her much like she did other people only using his mind, he was about to notify her of Rachel. He would have to be careful. Blaze had been tortured by Mystech both physically and mentally and he didn't want to scare her or cause some sort of Mental Terror in his head. As she was talking to Morgan in the Top Penthouse, Cameron whispered softly in her head. It was a soothing voice and one that she would not be afraid of. He told her of his discovery. ::

"Look, I know this isn't the best time right now. But on the ground floor of Illustra, I met someone who needs the Protection of the Six. An ex-doctor of Mystech. I know it sounds shady, but I did a mental scan and she is telling the truth. I need her to meet the rest of the group. I am calling an emergency meeting of the Six. I am heading back up there. I know it might be stressful but we still have work as a group to do. I will notify Haleigh to meet me up there in a few minutes..."

:: Cameron looked back at Rachel ::

"I just let Blaze know ahead of time so she will prep Morgan for the meeting.. I just have to get one more person..."

:: Opening the Telepathic Link he had with Haleigh once more as he had done countless times since their caper in the Citadle, he whispered in her mind, letting her know about the plans for the meeting. ::

"Hales, you're gonna love me for this one. Group Meeting. Top Penthouse. Be there in a few minutes.. I have just made a startling discovery...PLEASE be there..."


:: Turning back to Rachel ::


"Well that should do it.. Come on now... let's go..."


:: Cameron and Rachel got into the elevator as Cameron pressed the button for the top floor of Illustra. As the elevator raced up the floors, Prophet began to prep Rachel for her first meeting with the interesting lot known as the Six. He looked at her and sighed. ::


"Okay.. I won't sugar coat it. Most of the members of the Six are very conceited and arrogant. All about respect. All of us just got into a huge fight so I am putting myself on the line for you. So hopefully this will go smooth and we can think of a game plan.. Just remember don't be scared, no matter what you see..."


:: The elevator dinged as they were Immediately illuminated by the Mystic Flame that rose covering the Penthouse doors as Cameron used his Telekinetic Powers to "knock" on the doors, before whispering back to Blaze and taking a deep breath. ::


"Ok, Blaze... it's showtime...."

Haleigh took her suit jacket off and slung it over the back of a bar stool. She pulled out of hr shoulder harness, setting the gun on the counter. She unbuttoned her shirt, revealing the light pink tank top underneath but left it on, stiring her food and then reaching for a plate and utensils. She shoveled food onto her plate and moved to the bar, pouring herself some red wine and sitting down to eat. She took a sip of wine and decided to check on Spellbinder. While upstairs, she'd placed a very small and discreet listening device on the underside of the arm of the sofa when no one was looking. there was listening equipment in her study.... but she was getting pretty efficient in her manipulative powers... she didnt need to go in there to listen. she turned the equipment on with her mind and set the volume. She put a finger to her ear as she took another bite, chewing slowly and quietly. She listened to vacuuming... and then voices, which got clearer and she realized it was Blaze and Spell. They were talking about her and Cameron.

Wow... that woman surely has a fixation on us. She thought. Morgan wasted no time, bad-mouthing them right away... she was always trying to turn Blaze against them.... and Blaze was always trying to defend them. Haleigh felt Morgan was overstepping boundaries when she suggested Blaze stay away from her... Who the fuck was she, her mother? what, did she think Haleigh was a bad influence? Had she even MET Blaze yet? Haleigh nearly spit out her wine... The evil that hovers around ME?! BITCH Victoria is one to talk.... she's the one fighting the evil that is writhing INSIDE her. At least I'm up front about it. Haleigh grimaces... Morgan had an awfully SKEWERED view of things... and her memory seemed a little FUZZY.

If it HAD been for Alison... Cameron and I'd both be dead... she just couldn't hold us down. Nor could those Ant Lions or Imagiomg or Dr. Chandler... Alison deserves any FUCKING abuse Cameron gives her.... and more... hell, he's too SOFT on her... if she were MY sister.... i'd still fuckin kill her.... i just might make it quick. GRATEFUL? WHAT, pray tell, have we to be Grateful for?? Grateful for Morgan abandoning our group in the beginning, or for Alison setting us up and leaving us for dead?

Haleigh fed Echo a strip of sauteed steak. He'd been sitting there silently, with big ole puppy dog eyes, watching her fork go from her plate to her mouth each time, begging the whole time... and now Delta saw she was getting generous and came over as well. She gave a scrap to the Blue Dobe to be fair, still 'eavesdropping'. Haleigh couldnt deny WHY she went into the Citadle... she hadn't tried to cover it up either. She was a heartless self-involved bitch who would only do something if it benefitted HER... and she saw no need to disillusion anyone about it. But how could she care about a person she'd never met? How could she even care about Morgan, who she'd met that very morning? And why the fuck WOULD she care about the people in a city that didn't give a fuck if she lived or died? Haleigh was many years beyond trying to save the world... she was many a pain and sacrifice beyond caring about the innocent. That didn't mean she and Blaze hadn't connected since then...

Haleigh finished her food and separated the steak stirfry into two separate piles and set the plate down for the dogs. She wiped her mouth with a silk napkin embrodiered in the corner with "H.D." and finished her glass of wine. when the dogs were done she lifted the plate from the floor and put the dishes in the sink. She went into her study, taking her shoulder harness and weapon with her. So... she was being watched carefully? in case she what? Was Morgan afraid she was making enemies that could take her unawares if they weren't watched? Oh Miss Victoria.... if ONLY you knew...

Haleigh pulled on a book and suddenly the entire bookcase sprung to life, sliding sideways and revealing a hidden room stocked ceiling to floor and wall to wall with guns on racks. Handguns and AK carbines on one wall, shotguns and ammo on another. Various accessories such as harnesses and holsters on hooks of the third wall, shelves beneath them with silencers and laser sights, scopes and mounting lights. The final wall, the one with the opening to enter the room, had more shelves, these had more ammunition, grenades, c4 and wiring, detonators, et cetera. Haleigh had enough here to storm the nearest military base with. She hung up her shoulder holster and took the gun out, ejecting the mag and clearing the chamber, manually reinserting the unused round into the magazine. She put the handgun in its spot on the wall, and placed the clip on the shelf by the ammo, it was down three rounds.

She turned the light out and almost closed the bookcase back over it when Cameron's voice stopped her. Wonderful. Just fucking peachy fucking keen. This better be DAMN good Stud. DONT you dare ask me to be civil with her again... if she pulls another stunt like that... well... SOMEONE better advise her not to. She sighed and went back into the room, turning the light back on and getting two H&K USP handguns. she loaded a magazine in each and pulled the slide back to put a bullet in each chamber. She selected a black leather shoulder harness and holstered both guns, sliding it over her open button down. She doesn't bother to get her suit jacket to conceal the weapons, just leaves the room and lets it close behind her, and then walks out of her study and through her living room, passing into the foyer and telling her dogs not to wait up lovingly. She walks out into the hallway, closing the door behind her. She looks up at the surviellance camera that is watching her. She flips it a bird and gets into the elevator. It dings twices and once more as it opens, and she steps out, looking like the girl next door except that she's armed and dangerous. she gives Rachel a suspicious look, eyeballing her and then locking eyes with Cameron. She didn't care if her first impression on this girl was cold and abrasive, she doesnt make any attempt to obscure the handguns from the girl's view. The girl seemed upset... and Haleigh didn't give a damn. It was the truth... and Haleigh was only curious as to WHY Cameron was bringing some new girlfriend to an impromptu Six meeting...

"She's far too young for you Cameron. PLEASE don't tell me this blonde girl is your startling discovery."
