Its finally time! Its finally time! Its finally time! The semi-finals, and soon after THE FINALS. Dorian was more than ready to wipe that look off of the Young Avengers faces. This was the year, he'd take the crown before they could retire the contest and become heroes out in the world. But first there was one small obstacle. The Hex Girls of Strange Academy. But that was nothing his team and friends couldn't handle. He'd been watching every fight, checking their moves and developing strategies as best as he could. All signs pointed to the immediate removal of their leader, Thelma. But of course that wouldn't be exactly as easy as he wished. She'd warded herself in an attempt to protect herself while still being in command. 

Dorian blew a tuft of hair away from his face. Looking over the other contestants in the team. The only guy amongst them having made eyes with his boyfriend. Dorian's lips pursed, his hand balling into a fist as he wanted to punch the smug look off his face. But he knew their tactics. He knew they'd try and goad them into fights they couldn't win. But maybe that could be used to his advantage. [Color=CC99FF]”Perce, ready to take these third rate Sorcerer’s down a peg? I say we start with the wanna-be.”[/color] He said motion towards Skylar. 

Percy glanced to his side, taking in the anger across Dorian’s features. His heart fluttered slightly at the sight. Clearing his throat slightly, he nodded. He couldn’t help but be somewhat apprehensive, his powers had never been the most reliable, but practicing with Dorian had really helped and he’d had a breakthrough recently. Focusing on smaller jumps had helped - short distances to travel, not large ones. He offered his hand to Dorian. [color=ed1c24]
“I think third rate is being a bit generous,”[/color] he offered dryly. [color=ed1c24]“They’re cosplaying sorcery at best.”[/color]

[Color=CC99FF]”True.”[/color] Dorian replied as he took Percy's hand in his. He could feel Sabine's powers strengthening him. He just had to land his shot and make it count. That's all. No pressure. He let out a long breath before sprinting towards Skylar, Percy in tow. Dorian stopped just short of the illusionist wizard. [Color=CC99FF]”Shoddy spellwork like that isn't going to get you anywhere [i]near[/i] my boyfriend. I mean the nose isn't even the same on all of them, but nice try.”[/color] Dorian said with a smirk. His arm extending past Skylar's face as he flicked towards Thelma in the back lines, a wave of Telekinetic energy hurdling towards her before dissipating uselessly against her ward. [Color=CC99FF]”Shit, Perce now!”[/color]

Percy nodded, the pressure on as he prepared to make the jump. He wished he’d had his axe - that he could just swing it through all the images, hit the real person, and call it a day. He felt vulnerable and exposed without it. [color=ed1c24]”I’m on it,”[/color] he affirmed. Just a few more seconds and they’d be out of there.
