	Seraphina took a step back as she watched Thalia kneeling over and noticed a set of wings suddenly sprouting out from her back, reaching for her weapon eyeing her suspiciously. She wasn't sure if Thalia was going to be hostile or not, then Folly seemed to go crazy all of a sudden in front of her, and tried to choke out Lilith. Seraphina was about to attack when Fairfax had decided to knock the girl out, she kept her guard up as she eyed those that were in the room. She wasn't even sure what was going on either with them as Seraphina looked towards Fairfax, right now he was her concern if he were to die now she wasn't sure what would happen to time itself. 

	Thalia's vision swirled, as soon, she saw a giant purple figure, consuming a star. This didn't help her, since her head had started to pound, along with the pain in her back. The figure looked over at her, giving her a smile, before her vision swirled back and she found herself in the library once more. She started to get up again, practically falling backwards as she adjusted to the weight of the wings. That was not an easy thing, then she tried to think of some answer to Fairfax's question.

	"I know what he called you. Do you want to know?" Deadpool teased her with a laugh. She glared at the man, before he continued talking. "He called you a bunch of names, but the one that he ended with was Time Dragon I believe. Though all of that was before I popped up so..." Thalia thought back for a moment, and found that for once, the guy in red spandex was actually being useful. [color=silver]"I'm... I'm not sure... The man, Faust or whatever his name was, back at the circus... He called me, a time dragon... But that doesn't make any sense since last I checked, I'm human".[/color]

	Before Lilith could voice her opinion yet again, she had hands on her throat. But not just any hands. They were Folly's. If anything, the look on her face said she wanted to stop, but the fact she wasn't going to worried Lilith as she felt her heart race and slowly fade. It was then she noticed Fairfax creep up and wham a book right on Folly's head. She dropped her and Lilith crumpled to the ground, fasping for breath.

	Not only that, but it seems Thalia had sprouted wings in the time it took to choke her. Lilith wasn't able to speak, not while she regained her breath back, but needless to say she gave Thalia a worried look. A look that said, "What the fuck is going on?"

	Fairfax took Thalia's explanation rather well, all things considering. His eyes lit up as she explained that someone else accused her of not being human. "Eureka! Of course, Miss Thalia! That makes perfect sense!" He was positively glowing, having to make a conscious effort to explain himself properly. "My dear, you are human - but at the same time, you are not. Are you familiar with the concept of evolution? It is a scientific theory that explains how species change and evolve over time - in essence, one may say how we [i]mutate.[/i] There is some talk in the scientific community of human mutation. Perhaps an organ that is no longer needed."

	"Yet in your case, I believe that the exposure to the anomalies today caused you to mutate. Perhaps it was latent in you - there's talk of proteins as being the basis for life and the results are quite convincing. Or maybe all of the energy from the anomaly changed the way your proteins are structured, causing you to take on this more draconian form. In English, I believe this energy caused a drastic change in your protein structure, enough that you grew wings. I wonder what other changes your biology may now contain..." 

	Folly, meanwhile, was starting to stir. It was rather strange for her to already start to wake up - she seemed to heal rather quickly. She was still on the edge of consciousness, but the madness that had infected her mind was not there. She could think clearly - well, as clearly as you can when you were just hit over the head by your great-grandfather. 

         Seraphina went over towards Lilith and gently laid a hand on the woman to heal her of any wounds that Folly may have caused when she was trying to choke her. Her eyes then wondered over towards Thalia who had wings now, as Fairfax quickly went on and explaining what had happened to her. Her attention was more trained on Folly, who was both a danger to herself, and everyone else as well as Fairfax she was more worried about. [color=lightblue]"Shall we get back to the matter at hand, with Hel?"[/color] Seraphina asked, she watched Folly stirring which was what she was starting to worry about if the woman would end up snapping again.

	Thalia nodded in agreement with Seraphina, they needed to get back to the task at hand, and hopefully they would come up with something to do. She didn't speak, since her throat was starting to feel a little weird. Almost sore, but there was nothing that could be done about it now. She was glad that Lilith seemed ok, after Folly nearly strangled her. Her throat was really acting up, and she felt a burning in her chest, before she started coughing. Thalia covered her mouth, but soon she wasn't able to. A moment later, she coughed again and a ball of fire came shooting out, landing on the ground with a sputter. [color=silver]"Great, this day just keeps getting better and better,"[/color] she managed to say, her voice sounding hoarse. 

	Lilith could feel the angel's hands on her and could feel the warmth radiate over her as her throat began to feel immensely better. She It no longer hurt to breathe and she could normalize it. She stood up just fine. Just in time to see Thalia shoot a fireball come out of her mouth. She looked at the girl, then to Fairfax, then to Seraphina, and then back at Thalia. [color=D59AC2]"I mean...what the hell? I'm used to this weird shit coming up now, but this is...what the hell are you Thalia? Screw Hel for a minute, I just had a young girl choke me out and now someone else I know has wings and can spit fire. So no, let's talk about this first."[/color]

	Folly lowered her head slightly in shame. "I...I didn't know what I was doing..." Folly confessed. She shut her eyes for a moment and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up as her father's voice whispered in her ear. [i]Daughter of mine, daughter of mine...I'm so proud of you, daughter of mine...You'll carry on the family legacy, you see, painting the world [b]red[/b]...[/i] Her eyes shot open as she gasped a bit. It was evident that she was beginning to lose her mind. "I'm...I'm sorry, I have to go..." Folly said, before she took off at a run, slamming open the doors of the library and quickly vanishing from sight. 

	"Amiyra!" Fairfax shouted, his heart pounding quickly. He looked at Lilith, Seraphina, and Thalia for a moment before he took off as well, chasing after her. He had never run this fast before in his life but it didn't matter. He had a responsibility towards Folly and something was clearly troubling her. Had he not been so focused on Folly, he would have explained to Lilith once more his hypothesis that Thalia was simply a mutated human being. 

        Seraphina looked towards Thalia as she watched the woman coughing up a bit of flame from her mouth, she'd heard of mutants before but she rarely came to earth unless she was on an assignment. [color=lightblue]"Basically she's a mutant, some of you may change on a more genetic level most likely the stresses of what happened here today caused it to happen."[/color] Seraphina said, as she turned her attention towards Fairfax and Folly, seeing the girl suddenly darting off.

	She was more worried about Fairfax as the girl darted off, she needed to make sure she didn't lose it and end up killing Fairfax, and ruin time looking at the two ladies there. [color=lightblue]"I'll be back."[/color] Seraphina said as she ran out and started to catch up to Folly with no problem, and reached out to grab the girl's arm careful to not hurt her or anything she looked at her. [color=lightblue]"Wait."[/color] Seraphina says looking at her for a moment.

	[color=silver]"Actually, I believe he said a mutate. Which means who knows what. This whole thing is confusing, and my throat feels like it's on fire, and that might possibly mean literally,"[/color] she said to Lilith as she watched everyone take off out the door. Thalia moved to race after them, when her wings started to freak out. They started moving uncontrollably, knocking even more books off of the shelves. She started shaking, as the pain hit her, feeling like muscle cramps in her back. These things clearly were more of a hassle than they were worth.

	Lilith threw her arms up. [color=D59AC2]"Oh, ok, that explains everything! So we're all gonna mutate or what? Am I going to be able to fly now? None of this is being explained and.."[/color] Thalia's wings began to flip out and knock things over as everyone ran out. Lilith stepped back a bit, fearful of what Thalia could do. Hell, she was just choked by Folly, she didn't trust anyone anymore. [color=D59AC2]"I just wanted a simple trip to the library. Was that so much to ask for?"[/color] she asked to no one in particular.
