Darkness is Light

He smelled them. The familiar scent drew him like a bee to honey;melting away from the Queen while she consulted Marius. He has been a lurking shadow since then, out of sight, biding his time with the self-proclaimed promise of violence. He knew they were far from fond of each other, and now they are in disarray while the blood of Yeshua coats the stone floors in a macabre mosaic of Mystique's making.

Now, when their alliance hangs by the most precarious of threads, is when he strike; and he will take her out, the strongest first.

Teeth and claws, bone and flesh, reveal themselves in split-second anticipation of deadly impact.

"Mop."

Silver stands, now that the baby is out of sight. She needs to find a mop. The woman turns and starts walking off down the hallway.

The liquified puddle of woman shudders. She can still see, still hear, still feel everything going on around her.

Slowly, ameoba-like, she starts to spill herself across the floor, away from Silver.

No zombies on his watch. He bounds over toward Sable to try and wake her up.

"Hey! Silver! Wake up!"

Morph's there, flowing in front of Silver like water, and taking shape once more. He grabs her by the shoulders, shaking her roughly. "You've got to snap out of this!"

"Hey, Wanda, I found William."

Spidey tosses an appropriately sized bundle towards the mad mommy. Mostly webbing, but it has the most darling little LED eyes counting down to zero.

The look on her face is one of /wanting/ to snap out of it. There are tears starting to leak out of the corners of her eyes. Still, she's straining to go and... "Find a mop."

She catches the bundle and stares at the red LED eyes. "Vision...."

She falls to her knees. "Nooooooo," she moans. "Dark Eyes, nooooooooo."

The tears are flowing freely as she rocks back and forth.

"That's it Mom, William needs you. Hold onto him" TJ says, voice soft and comforting.

This will end her pain, she tells herself. She moves away and doesn't look when the numbers reach zero.

The timer reaches zero, but the bomb doesn't explode. Instead, it sputters, then leaks liquid fire over the keening Scarlet Witch.

"Pietro?" she says in a panicked voice. "Pietro, please help--Pietro, please don't leave me--"

"Okay, now somebody can kill her."

[identity profile] tj-nocturne.livejournal.com 2006-10-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
That someone will not be TJ.

"Just get it over with!" she yells to the others.

Quick as you please, he's a mop. "Okay, I'm a mop, see? You found me. You're fine now."

Well, a talking mop.

A MOP!

Silver grabs a hold of the mop..er Morph.. er... mop and starts looking for the puddle of Mystique.
