"Your family name is another type of power in this world. You could have anything if you wanted it. I don't see why you want to join our part of the world but to each their own."

Lyss

"That's the thing, Ms. Burns..." Blake said as he swirled the wine around in its glass. He let the words hang in the air for a few moments as if he was attempting to find the right words to convey his thoughts. "The supernatural changes things... and I don't want to be the victim of a supernatural criminal." He took a sip of his wine as he kept his gaze on her.

"... You need to keep expanding your power or someone will eventually beat you."

"So, I'd like to ask what kind of power you seek? While we've made it clear that we will not help you gain any extra-normal abilities, I'm curious what you had in mind if we'd accepted. I've met men like you before, and every answer is generally the same. I want to know if you're different than the rest."

Lyss

"Hmmm..." Blake trailed off as he honestly hadn't thought about it. Or he didn't want to say that he wanted to get the strongest abstraction. That totally wouldn't end well. He got up as he swirled his wine in his hand dramatically as a rich douchebag could. He looked off to the side as he said, "... I'm honestly not sure. The red lux sounds appealing, yes? But, what sounds more appealing is a loyal group of well-paid, well-organized, subordinates because it's not like I'm going to be the one doing that kind of work."

That was probably the more realistic option in this situation... but he saw his lovely wife Phillis walking up... except her makeup was messed up. Her hair too. Her swimsuit was also a little messed up. Like it was thrown back on. Still, he was more than happy to see his wife as she ran up, grabbed his face, and deeply kissed him in the middle of the whole meeting. While he wasn't against the PDA... something was wrong here. Very wrong.

"... Phillis, what's that awful taste in your mouth?" Blake asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That's my new friend Maya."

"Wha-what?"

"Since you seem to love all these little whores!" Phillis turned her head around and looked at Izzy as she shouted the last word. And she was hoping her words were sharp as knives. "Sooooo much, I decided to try one for myself."

"No..." Emily flatly said as she dropped the briefcase as everything just got a lot more awkward. She was frozen in shock.

"And I gotta say, she was great," Phillis started as Emily almost fucking screamed in rage as she helplessly watched. She was shaking like she was barely holding something back. "Much better than you and guess what?"

Phillis took a few steps back as she stuck her hands out and an aura of pink light came off her body and lasers shot out in random directions. She smiled as she felt the power course through her body.

"And it gave you powers?!" Blake damn near shouted.

"Yes... and it feels great, it feels amazing," Phillis said, "... But I want to know how it feels to get a taste of your own medicine?"

Blake bared his teeth as he started uncontrollably shaking. He squeezed the wine glass so hard that it broke and blood dripped down from his hands. He turned red and Emily theorized that he was gonna awaken from the sheer rage.

"I offer you all the deal of a lifetime and then you fornicate with my wife?!" Blake said as he threw the glass shards on the ground and then pointed at the elevator, "I'M REDACTING THE OFFER! ALL OF YOU, GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Fucking Maya!" Emily shouted before she turned to Izzy and pointed a finger in her face, "No, fucking Izzy! This is all your fault!"

“Are you kidding me? If you had a mute button the whole time why didn’t you use it on her when we were up there, you stupid fucking bitch? Claudette, I didn’t mean that. I’m sorry. I just…”

Vashti

The words cut sharp in Claudette. As she was trying not to use her abstraction in public like that... she could had done it, but that didn't make Vashti's response anymore justified. Her mouth went agape as she was more than insulted by the girl. To the point where her apology didn't even register. It merely came in through one ear and left the other.

"Nah, you meant it, sugar," Taylor spoke. "Own up to it."

She thought that she should have at least used her abstraction earlier but sometimes, hey, shit happens. Taylor didn't take the words of a drunk bitch all that seriously and it was Vashti's fault for getting all that emotional in the first place. Taylor shrugged. Shit happens, like the fact that they were stuck in here. Taylor just shrugged. She was about to light a cigarette but that was not smart given that they were stuck in here. What was less smart was using her abstraction at all. So it seemed like the best way out of this was Vashti crawling through. Taylor would have crawled through herself, given that she was pretty small. Vashti wasn't too big herself.

"Just crawl on through, sugar," Taylor said. "I don't want to die from heatstroke." She said as she noticed that it was starting to get hot. Real hot.

Then it cooled down as Claudette used her darkness on the walls of the elevator to absorb the heat out of it. It'll eventually cause another problem but it should slow things down.

"Help me get Maddie down," Claudette said as she and Taylor put Madison down and propped her against the wall... where she finally passed out. Thank the Lord. They could get some respite... and Claudette was going to get Henrik to carry her the rest of the way.

"Squirt!" Hagan shouted as Caelea escaped the barrier somehow. What in the hell was she doing?! Both Zoey and Hagan were awestruck at their friend's insane actions. Shit. Hagan watched as she asked the thing what it wanted, with no protection. Hagan didn't like this... Nor was he gonna sit idly by. He looked at Zoey and nodded at her as he dropped his barrier and decided to go after her slowly as he could. All he needed to do was get her in range of just one of his tendrils. Just one.

"Cae...Caelea?" Odessa said as she propped herself on one of the cars as she desperately tried to get her energy back. Her voice was probably lost in all of the chatter of children playing but she looked at Caelea as she went up to the thing. Ruining her plan... which was risky for different reasons, this was stupid. Except, Odessa was out of energy and if she pushed herself any further she would pass out. Odessa narrowed her eyes as she moved over to the two as she pulled out a piece of chalk.

The Apparition placed its hands on the ground... it couldn't emote or do anything like that in this current form.

The Apparition raised one hand off the ground and pointed forward. Seemingly at a particular boy who was jumping up and down with caucasian skin, rather rounded features, and a head of curly black hair. He had a girl in his hands as he jumped with the biggest smile on his face.

The Apparition started crying loudly some more as it looked forward and saw more people approaching and the sobbing stopped and Hagan froze in its tracks. And he felt some type of danger.

The Apparition spoke before Hagan damn near screamed until it felt his throat was gonna be squirting blood. "GET OUT OF THERE, SQUIRT!"

In the blink of an eye, the unthinkable happened and Hagan let out a yell. The Apparition dug its claws into Caelea's midsection as deep as it can go before using its speed to bifurcate her. Blood sprayed in all directions as she was split down the middle and the Apparition lost form as it forced itself inside of Caelea... and the wounds sealed itself shut, violently shaking before coming to a stop. And "Caelea" grinned widely.

"... Thank you."

"Caelea!" Hagan screamed at the top of his lungs as he fell upon his knees, vomiting what little food that Hagan had left. And tears ran down his eyes as the sight was horrible. The... worst thing he's ever seen. Second to what that bastard did to him, but at least it was him. Caelea was dead. Hold it together, hold it together. Hagan thought to himself as everything felt strange, alien. It felt like there were a million pounds right in his gut and everything felt wrong. Tears ran down his face as he tried to get everything together.

No...

Hagan let out another scream before the barrier manifested in the shape of a glowing orange sun with dozens of tendrils... that went wild as one slammed against the ground so hard that it caused it to shatter. Another tendril flipped over a car and sent it directly into a building.

Zoey screamed at the top of her lungs had to use a car to brace herself as she felt cold... colder than ever before, and it didn't have anything to do with her damn abstraction. This... her heart was racing as her eyes were wide as hell, and she couldn't shut them. Squirt... Holy shit. This isn't happening. She grabbed onto her chest as she fell onto a knee, she was desperately trying to keep it together. Zoey looked up didn't realize it but... Hagan was losing control of his abstraction. The same abstraction that brought up memories of him. She legitimately had no clue what was going on.

Odessa's jaw dropped as the thing brutally killed her, but unlike the other two she couldn't feel a thing. Not the weight in her stomach, nor the tingling in her skin. Nothing. Odessa sighed as she realized that Hagan was going crazy and the apparition abscised Caelea. She wished that she could do something to save her but she rushed in and got herself killed. Odessa didn't have the strength to face the Apparition now, nor stop Hagan's rampage. Odessa got behind a car and figured that it might be time to cut and run. She was too slow to do anything.

“But at least we’re still alive? Probably.”

Caelea

"Cael..." Zoey muttered as she wiped her tears as she was finally starting to entertain a thought in her head. The kind of thought that was lingering her in her head since she got here but now... after all of this, it was starting to seem more and more lightly. "... This place is hell."

Zoey sobbed as Hagan crossed his arms. "Try to explain any of this; we died and this is purgatory or whatever fucked up version of it."

"Zoey..." Hagan muttered to Zoey as he let out a sigh. He knew that this place couldn't be hell... because he's seen hell with his own two eyes. And it's an orange sun. "... You know the Kid or whatever the fuck his name is would never do that to us." Bringing up his name.

"... Then explain what the fuck is even going on?" Zoey said... her body was freezing and she was shivering. Thanks to her abstraction, she was used to it but it was probably the water. What didn't help was the pain she was feeling and she would put some ice on it but she was too cold. She would kill herself if she kept pushing past her limits.

However, a building exploded and Hagan whipped around towards it. Out of reflex Hagan crossed his arms in front of him and jumped in front of the girls. Son of a bitch, he had to do it. "... Barrier!" Hagan shouted as the full barrier appeared and it was not pretty. It took the appearance of a massive dome that looked vaguely like a sun... an orange sun. It had massive thorny tentacles that outstretched meters and the barrier effortlessly tanked the debris and other pieces of stone.

When the dust settled... it was that thing. That smoky Apparition, floating in the air. Shit. That thing traveled way too fast to dodge. Hagan was hoping his barrier was strong enough to take the damage...

However, it floated into the air above everyone at a slow speed before it let out a screeching sound and quickly descended to the ground. The Apparition hit the ground, fell to its hands and feet as it continued its screeching... Hagan wondered if it was in pain. The Apparition stopped screeching and then began... sobbing as it put its hands where its face should be. Hagan looked over his shoulder at the girls confused.

"... The fuck is going on?"

A hand quickly wrestled Stacey's hand and he felt warmth as Odessa was trying her best to help him out since he seemed to be doing the worse. This wasn't good, though. She was in direct sunlight, which was great but she was running out of energy between all these usages of her abstraction. Odessa was getting sluggish, but she was producing heat. She looked to the rest as her skin began waving with all the heat she was giving off. She fell onto her knees as she said, "... Get close."

However, there was the explosion of dust and debris as Odessa covered herself with her arm. She tried to turn her body into wood but all she accomplished was falling to her hands and knees with only patches of her skin turning into wood. Odessa sighed as she continued generating heat, and the thing flew up into the air before it fell to the ground, screeching and sobbing like... Maybe this was its recollection. Odessa had a lightbulb in her head as she looked at the group.

"Get out of here," Odessa said as she turned off her heat generation and her body slowly returned to its usual body heat. She narrowed her eyes at Penny as she said, "All of you."

Odessa was able to muster what little strength she had left to force herself back to her feet... not for long as she stumbled over. She got herself back onto her feet as she looked back at them, "I have a way to get rid of this thing for good... just get out of here while it's distracted."

Truth be told, Odessa was not worried about dying. Not one bit.

“Hagan, that thing’s nothing. It can only move in straight lines. When it charges, yell at them to juke the wheel and we’ll dodge it,”

Penny

"... Why does it sound like you're making this sound easier than what it is?" Hagan groaned.

The boat started moving right after Hagan made that call, however, he was still where he was. He grabbed onto the side... the only problem was that they were trying to get away on a lifeboat. "Twenty-five knots my ass..." Hagan hissed to himself as the thing just... stood there, floating. The thing was nothing like anything Hagan has seen - and he's seen some shit. He grits his teeth as they were seemingly getting away but Hagan knew, just knew, that this shit wasn't going to be that easy.

"If this she ain't on the lifeboat then she's probably sinking..." Hagan was about to reply to Penny but he saw the chick grabbing onto the boat. "What the fuck?" How in the fuck did she catch up, then he remembered he was probably surrounded by the freakiest bunch of freaks to ever freak. He bared his teeth yet again as he had to help her. It wasn't an easy decision - a quick one, yes - but he knew he had to use his abstraction.

The sigil on his back began to glow through his shirt.

"... Barrier," Hagan muttered to himself as he stuck his hand out and a thorny tendril came out of his hand. It was transparent, but gleamed an orange color... that would look very familiar to certain members of the group. It stuck itself out in front of Lilith as Hagan shouted, "Grab-"

The Apparition disappeared, Hagan saw it at the corner of his eye... and that was the only indication that it charging them at speeds that were blinding. Then it happened, hit them before they could even notice and the waves were disturbed right after. One second Hagan was using his abstraction to save Lilith and the next he was soaring through the air. Her ears were ringing as the crash was absolutely deafening. The boat was shattered to pieces and he wasn't sure if anyone else survived that... because Hagan was certain he just barely survived it. He hit the water and it felt like he was hitting concrete. He wasn't sure about the others... but he was sinking.

Everything was falling apart.

After everything they did... they died like dogs to this apparition. He tried to activate his abstraction but everything was going dark... it wasn't long before he fell into the watery abyss to meet his end again. The same with everyone else but Hagan accepted his death.

However, as they fell, they heard a voice... it was an ethereal voice of a little girl? Was it the Child?

"... Hello?"

"Hello!"

"Can you hear me?"

"Answer me please."

"I am begging you..."

"I'm..."

"...Sorry."

"So sorry any of this happened."

"I didn't mean for this to happen..."

"I just wanted a place where everyone can be happy."

"I just..."

"... Didn't want to be lonely anymore! Okay!?"

---

Hagan came to. When he opened his eyes... his eyes were assaulted by the glaring sunlight as his ears were filled with a sound that he could not mistake even if he tried. There was the chatter of dozens upon dozens of children chattering. There was the sound of them running around, basketballs hitting the ground... He was forced to push himself up to his feet as he looked around at what was going on. And it was exactly what he sounded like: children were playing around them. They were playing soccer, baseball, basketball, running around with toys, chasing each other, play fighting... you name it. It was a child's paradise, it looked like.

Well, Hagan wasn't buying it. As he looked around the street that was full of life, he saw stores and other stuff... but what caught his eye was PARADISE BANK. Hagan got up to his feet as he stood in the crowd and the spit. Paradise, someplace this is... still, this place seemed like a paradise for kids than the hellscape it seemed to be. Though, Hagan noticed that a kid ran right through him and he raised an eyebrow. He saw some kids playing with nerf guns as he asked as he stuck his arm out.

"Hey kid-" And his hand went through the kid. Hagan looked at his hand in confusion as he quickly realized the only reason why this was happening was that he was in some kinda fucked up Recollection. He sighed.

"... Hagan!" He heard a voice that was unmistakably Zoey Cassandra Gray... he turned around and saw the tall ass chick with blue streaks in her hair waving him down. She just casually walked through several kids as she made her way over to him. She laughed out of relief with a smile that even Hagan could tell was forced. "... Good thing you stand out in a crowd."

"... What the fuck is going on?" Hagan just had to cut to the chase.

And that was when the smile flipped upside down as Zoey's composure broke. Tears began to run down her face. "... I don't know anymore."

Odessa was somewhere in the children playing as she looked around. A child ran through her so she realized that this wasn't real... but is anything real anymore. Paradise... this place was going to be their grave. What was that message... and who was saying it. However, she sensed some Extra-Normal beings around and looked over her shoulder and saw Hagan's giant self. She just sighed as she casually put her hands together as she waded through the crowds slowly as possible. Keeping her third eye open.

With Kayla finally doing the talking, Emily decided to just be quiet. Now, while she would love to be front and center she had to swallow her pride and stop the games just this once. She wasn't the leader and she doesn't want to piss off Mr. Schmidt with any dishonesty. While Lyss explained the supernatural Emily noticed that Maya and Mrs. Schmidt were off mingling... Emily narrowed her eyes at Maya but she honestly couldn't see the point in going over there and breaking it up. Long as she's not talking to Mr. Schmidt himself, Emily couldn't give two halves of a shit. Still, Lyss was very well versed in the world of the supernatural, it was surprising given that Emily had Babylon, their ancient supernatural expert.

However, the demonstration that everyone was so excited came as Izzy stepped to the plate. Emily was expecting the girl to do something small like maybe heal herself, or give herself a paper cut. Well, Emily wasn't that off when Izzy gave Blake a paper cut and... Emily's eyes fucking shot open as she dropped the briefcase and it slammed against the ground audibly. Her eye twitched.

This slut... Izzy thought it was an amazing idea to kiss his fucking hand. And not in a normal way, she just had to make it all weird and sexual. Emily almost fucking had a stroke. In front of his wife, too?

Meanwhile, Blake was enjoying the little demonstration... he was confused at first, then he was interested, then he was really interested. He smiled as he felt her tongue on his finger and... Oh! He was starting to get very dirty thoughts about this girl and her tongue. Blake was almost tempted to stroke her face but no, this was business... but business felt so good. She explained how her apparition worked but it kinda went through one ear and out the other. He was focused on the fact that magic was real and this beautiful young woman before him.

"... I'd love another demonstration," Blake chuckled.

However, when Phillis saw the demonstration her jaw dropped. How... how dare she? How dare him? She had reached a boiling point except the pot couldn't handle the heat. She was shaking in rage as Phillis watched the whole thing in horror... and all the accusations and rumors were starting to sound a lot more valid now. This little bitch must have been one of his little whores - but the audacity of this whore, to do it right in front of her. Well, two can play at that game. A hand drifted towards Maya's hand as she looked at her with a smile.

"Yes..." Phillis started as she got up and it was revealed that her swimsuit was also a thong. "... That would be lovely." She walked off to somewhere more private.

"Izzy," Emily seethed, "What the fuck?"

"... Ms. Reed?" Blake asked.

"N-Nothing, sir!" Emily said in a singsong with a forced smile... her gaze was still sharp enough to kill a man as she walked over to Izzy and grabbed her by the forearm and practically yanked her away from Blake. When they were a good distance, Emily just let her have it. Dropping the little cheery secretary persona and adopting G. Reed at its ugliest.

"... Izumi, what in the fuck were you thinking?!" Emily almost shouted as she balled her fists. "No, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? I know you're a massive slut that can't control her ovaries for one fucking minute but you are fucking over the rest of the Coven! Blake's a pervert, these games are gonna make him think we're not the Coven but his God damn Harem."

And each word got louder and louder until Emily corrected herself and lowered her volume. She pulled her in close until their faces weren't that far apart as Emily whisper-yelled, "And in front of his wife. Are you fucking kidding me? I can't put into words how stupid that was. You're lucky she didn't flip out the second she saw your slut game and throw the deal out the window. And you would have fucked up something real good."

Part of Emily wanted to slap Izzy but she looked around and saw that both Phillis and Maya were... gone. Shit. What probably happened is; Phillis saw everything and ran off pissed off and Maya is trying to comfort her. Except the latter was the worse case fucking scenario. The last person that should be comforting someone is Maya. Emily slapped a hand on her forehead.

"... And now Phillis is gone," Emily was about to go look for her before she looked over her shoulder at Izzy. "Come with me and help me look for her so maybe we can do some damage control."

Babylon was relatively quiet during the whole thing. Strangely quiet. There was something odd here... that smile was flat the second that Lyss mentioned the Outsider and her lips curved downwards at the mere mention of that thing. Babylon looked at Emily and made sure that she was invisible to Mr. Schmidt as she turned to Lyss.

"... You should not have mentioned that" Babylon said, her voice was strangely flat and unemotional. Strange as she was usually a bit more... bombastic, Emily noted. "The Outsider that is."

However, Blake paid half attention to Lyss... he was more concerned with his new friend than her but he picked out bits and pieces. Something about the Blind, Apparitions, 40%... and the Hound. Now he sounded like a fellow that got Blake's interest. And apparently he gave her bloodline their powers! Interesting. Blake wondered if he could do something similar.

"The Hound sounds scary... but could he give me powers like that?" Blake was honestly curious. "... And how are these black lux powers? They sound certainly interesting! Do people fear you for your abilities?" It was less of legitimate concern and more of a... power thing. Given the smile on Blake's face.

“I’m really sorry but I must’ve misheard you, Madison. Could you repeat your question? And please, be specific. What exactly do you mean?”

Vashti

"Made-" Claudette tried to protest but Vashti put a finger up in her face and was insistent on going down this path. That would lead nowhere good.

"Drop it, sugar," Taylor finally spoke from the other side that was hoisting the girl up. She was listening to the entire time and honestly, she could tell that what Madison was saying was getting to Vashti. And that was the problem; why in the world was she taking drunken ramblings to heart like that? Taylor was no stranger to parties and she knew when the drinks started pouring who knows what was going to fly out of people's mouths? "She's so drunk right now she's about to pass out... and no offense but she's thick-" she unintentionally let that fly out of her mouth, Taylor meant to say something along the lines of "big", "-as fuck. She'll ring your bell if you fight her."

"Ya' need some hearin-" Madison slurred but she was strangely silenced.

"That's enough!" Claudette raised her hand using her classic "sit down and shut up" maneuver that she used oh so many times in the Coven. A wave of darkness overcame the elevator and Taylor's gasp was silenced and it got a lot colder. Claudette was hoping that it would calm down the two because she doubted that Vashti knew, but Madison was dangerous. As in the Jaws was not something many members of the Coven would tangle with. And Claudette really didn't want Madison drunkenly activating the Jaws in such a close environment - she was lucky that didn't already happen!

However she, and probably the others, noticed that the elevator stopped and she realized that she forgot something. Something really important and she felt really stupid for forgetting it. The Darkness didn't suppress sound; it absorbed energy. And it absorbed the energy out of the elevator. When she dispelled the darkness, the elevator was dark and they were stuck in there.

"... The hell did you do, sugar?" Taylor shook her head as she was relatively calm about the situation... all she could feel was this giant drunk chick on her.

"I... I'm so sorry!" Claudette said, "I made a mistake."

"No kidding," Taylor slid a cigarette between her lips and was about to light it but she had some courtesy. "Just do whatever magic mumbo jumbo you just did and bring it back."

"Oui, I'm afraid it's not that simple," Claudette said.

Taylor sighed.

"It never is, is it..."
