of the many ways that this could have gone, Alicia did not expect Penny to open a new portal just after Lily and Alex had left, one which would allow them to directly arrive atop Covington Tower. Honestly she was a little surprised by that. Usually it was a lot more difficult to actually get to the big threat that they wanted to fight, especially if some sort of ritual was involved. But maybe Mariette had found some way to sabotage any protection spells there might be to block portals besides her own. Who could say?

Penny went first of course, but as Alicia prepared to follow it turned out that their enemies had some defenses as well. Firstly, a shockwave of gravity magic, then a veritable beam of angry spirits headed right at them. There was only moments to react, but it was clear that maybe this had been a move that was too bold, considering the circumstances.

Before Alicia could do anything to redirect the portal or any other sort of defensive measures, the new(?) girl Ani swung into action. Gravity was countered with gravity, and since it seemed like they were doing this Alicia moved through the portal as well. That she was not being immediately targeted by an angry spirit indicated there was more going on, but she wasn't going to question it when it worked in their favor. 

For now she moved towards the roof of the building, swinging wide as best she could in the circumstances to land apart from the others, and hopefully at an angle that the girls present already would be less prepared for. With a fight already looking like it was going on, she just needed to get to solid ground and then look for her moment.
