Things escalated very quickly that day.

It seemed to Blink that Iron Man’s team was targetting Hope Summers. How did they know the X-Men were calling upon the Phoenix? Is it possible that there was a traitor within them? Just thinking about it made her blood boil but for now she has to focus on the ongoing battle before her.

Cyclops attacked Iron Man with both leaders shouting their signature attack cries and that’s when the fight started. Blink moved to the back, observing the unfolding battle and thinking on how to turn the tides. 

Just then, a portal appeared above and out came hordes of demons which only seemed to attack the X-Men. Blink scanned the area and found out that the Son of Satan was present alongside Deadpool. 

Blink opened multiple portals among the demon horde to confuse them. She aided Cyclops by creating a portal in front of him that opened at a random spot within the horde so he can blast the enemies in surprise. She opened one portal just as a giant demon was bulldozing its way towards her. The giant demon went through the portal and trampled multiple demons as it exited.

She also made additional portals among the demon horde that opened at the bottom of the ocean. Huge amounts of water bursted out of the portals and crashed demons under pressure. Of course, she made sure that the X-Men and herself would be unaffected and closed the ocean portals as soon as she opened them.

She saw how Colossus rampaged through the army of demons and how he easily forced She-Hulk and Red-Hulk out of the way. An idea sprung into her head and Blink quickly made a portal and jumped through it. She found herself free-falling high into the air towards the sea below her. She saw She-Hulk and Red Hulk about to stand up and she immediately threw javelins at her side that opened portals beneath the two. The next thing they knew they were also free-falling beside her, both having a very confused and surprised look on their faces. 

Blink managed to make a peace sign and stick her tongue out before opening a portal beneath her. She rolled first then kicked her feet out as she fell through the portal. The demon only managed a squeak of shock as Blink kicked the unsuspecting demon in the face. Blink rolled on the ground and when she regained her composure, she heard unmistakably loud splashes of water at the sea.

She also heard screams of pain and saw Colossus burning in a mysterious-looking fire that the Son of Satan made. Blink was very angry but she knew she had to take Colossus to safety first. 

Blink jumped through a portal she made that opened at the gardens of Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. She opened another portal where Colossus fell through, still writhing and screaming in pain. She rushed to Colossus’s side as she called out for help. Officials of the school ran towards them and telling Blink that they’ll handle Colossus and she must return to the X-Men as soon as possible. Blink nodded and said her thanks as she made a portal and returned to the battlefield in a snap.
