Perry didn't want to hear another word from the smarmy douchebag but before she could eviscerate him on an intellectual level, he zapped both her and Mary with some ray of light. She didn't need some Care Bear "magic is love" bull. Still, after she was hit she felt....better. Lighter? "Hey man, consent is important, even healing someone."

As she walked forward, she felt something...off. It felt like she was using her powers, but not really. She looked around her and, suddenly, spirits started to form. She hadn't expected to find any spirits on this asteroid but what she saw really stunned her. Materializing, the spirits formed into gray aliens. Straight out of a science fiction movie. What was even more bizarre (for everyone else) is that they would see them too. Almost like her powers seeped into the environment. To make matters even more interesting, everyone would also see Detective Ed and Barry.

Before she could say anything, the alien spirits got antsy and began to attack. "Oh fuck this!" Perry turned to fac Cortzez and decked him across the face. "That's for causing whatever the hell this is!" Barry attempted to shock one of the aliens, but it only stunned the one and barely registered. Detective Ed freezed another, but could only do so temporarily. Perry then, trying to look badass, kicked the iced alien, only to send it wobbling a bit, but otherwise standing. She hopped on one foot, "Mother fu-, god dang it! So, alien spirits are here and are not happy! Any ideas?

Sabine felt fine. She didn't cheat. The whole point of this exercise was to get through the training course with your partner and make it to the end. To that effect, they had won. They would have been done if Dorian had not stepped in to throw them nearly to the front again. Far as she could tell, she ensured that fact.

Percy didn't seem all that jazzed about their win. Perhaps it was because he was made a fool of, again, by the same boy. "For what it's worth, we wouldn't have won without you. The first two obstacles were all you and we only got through the last two because I needed your help. So take the win and enjoy the pizza. And shower, because the next time you blow chunks all over me, possessed or not, I will end you."

She made her way over to Nemo, unsure what the others were doing. Since Dorian flew off, she assumed he was going back to the others to finish the race. "Shower sounds good. Going to take a quick one and change. Should be back out when they finally finish." With that, she made her way to the showers to change into a clean uniform and wash Percy's bile off of her.

Prudence would have normally balked at being chastised by her Lord, like a small child being scolded by her parents for taking an extra sweet. Instead, she felt invigorated. The power dynamics between the two of them were always one-sided. She relied on him and he, in turn, provided for her. Now, after drinking the contents of the cup and feeling the surge of power inside of her, she felt like she was in control.

"I assumed as much. I do not doubt that I am more in tune than they. Darkness consumes light. Tis the natural order." She glanced around. "Yet, I was summoned here by some force. I felt like you could not come here willingly. I drank the cup, I felt the power, I stand before you now purely because I chose it. My Lord, you will forever hold a place in my heart for granting me the power to crush my enemies and bring to you what you richly deserve," Prudence gave a pause. She was relishing this. "But I believe I shall call on you from now on. Until as needed, my Lord. I shall be referred to as My Queen." With that, Prudence broke the trance she was in, coming back to the others.

She looked around, seeing the new person among them. "Apologies, tis unknown to be what just occurred. I see we have a new member among this unwilling group. Shall we be off elsewhere then?

Perry followed the group, growing more anxious to get off this stupid rock. If she had known winning the fight would send her here, she'd have lost on purpose.

Who was she kidding? No she wouldn't!

Eventually they passed a doorway and heard footsteps. Perry prepared herself to fight back, only to see Mr. Douchebag himself again. She stayed ready though. "Thank you! That's what I've been saying!" she said in response to Flynn. The dude needed to be face punched.

They didn't seem any closer to finding a way off this asteroid though. "Yeah, ran into some people who were not happy to see us. Seems like a lot of people here aren't happy to see us and I can safely say the feeling's mutual, so how about instead of standing there like a grade-A, voted most likely to be eaten when we eat the rich, face-punchable chad and send us in the right direction or provide transport. Honestly, if this ends up being some ploy to get everyone together only to start in on some grand masterplan, I will blow this entire rock the fuck up."

Sabine had just about enough of this.

For those that knew Sabine, she came across as aloof, a bitch, stand-offish, unless you really knew her and were in her inner circle. The truth of the matter was she paid those she didn't know little mind. You either were good in her book or not.

Though there were few that dared to delve into the other realm. The one where Sabine held anger towards. Those people were few and far between, sure, bu there were some. Sabine had special plans for them. In due time. Dorian was VERY close to going there. Percy also, though she forgave him a bit since she knew it was Dorian's fault. Still, sitting there with vomit on her drove her to the end.

Sabine clenched her fist. It would not serve her well to get angry at Percy. She needed to do something to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. She looked to where Nemo was. He was far away, but maybe.....she hadn't tried this before. No time like the present.

She sent her essence over to Nemo in an attempt to get into his memories. At first, she was having difficulty. More than likely due to the distance. Eventually, she got in, but only a little. She saw a memory of Nemo getting married to a really handsome man. Though she wanted to look at the cuteness some more, she had a job to do. She pushed herself and, finally, got into Nemo's memory.

She implanted a memory of Sabine and Percy crossing the finish line, winning the obstacle course. She left his mind and stood up. "Hope you are a good actor. Follow my lead." She called over to Nemo and put on her best performance. "What did you link Nemo? Despite some hiccups there, I think we did rather well! I'm sure the others did too, but they just couldn't beat us."

On top of the memory implanted, Sabine is using her acting skill to ensure that Nemo doesn't question that they won the competition.

As suddenly as the symptoms appear, they were readily welcomed in her body as she felt something unlike anything she felt before. Soon her vision turned and she was in a red room. Or a red space. Before her stood her Lord. She, at first, felt relief. Her connection to him had been strained, but here he was.

However, the feeling was changing. Shifting. As if the dynamics between the two of them were altering before her eyes and within herself. "My Lord, it is good to see you at last." She began to bow before she stopped herself. A quick assess of herself showed that her Lord, as powerful as he was, was not here on his own volition. After all, she remembered the scratch from before as he tried to come here.

She brought him here.

She had the power.

Which means she had control.

A grin spread across her face. "My Lord, it seems a tide is turning. I know not of where I am or who I am here with. Sorcerer Supreme was mentioned. Does that moniker appear familiar to you?" Gaining information was vital at this stage. Information was power. Power swayed people. Power made kings.

Or Queens.

It all became a blur. At one point she was standing there as some jamoke prattled on about his facility and how they were here to learn or grow or some bullshit when the fight broke out. Brooklyn had been looking forward to it. Cracking skulls and asserting dominance.

However, as quickly as it started, it was finished. Injured people, both security and inmates alike (because as pretty a place and name you want to put on your brochure is, this was still a prison). Brooklyn became even more agitated. In fairness, her first chip was the damn otter that joined them that NO ONE was talking about still. The second was the warden or whoever. She wanted to punch his face. He had a very punchable face and, in her experience, people with punchable faces often held views or did things that warranted face punches.

She was a bit beefed the stocky guy who made the first comment towards the warden hadn't said a peep since. He was one of the few here she felt any semblance of a connection to. Annoying, actually.

But she bit her tongue (a rare feat). As much as she wanted to start shit again, she didn't wish to get those injured or those unable to handle themselves caught in the crossfire. She counted, on one hand, those that fell in that purview, but she was the poster child of 'not judging a book by its cover'.

She followed along with the group inside. She took special care in noting weaknesses in the facility; guards not being alert, walls that looked like they could be plowed through, makeshift weapons if it came to that. Soon they were in the rec room and were introduced to the others within the facility. Their makeshift tour guide droned on, but Brooklyn couldn't be bothered to care all that much. Instead, she glanced at the others, sizing them up. As her head turned, she felt a shadow over her. She turned back to see a mountain of a man standing there, staring at her. He was cute in a "golden retriever" type of way, though she got the sense there was nothing behind those eyes. And her thoughts were confirmed when he just. continued. to. stare!

"Keep starin' at me and I'll rip your arms off and play jump rope with 'em." The nerve of this dude! "Anyone going to claim their lost lamb here?" Perhaps he was lost from a tour group and got separated from his mommy. Either way, she had little time to be hand-holding anyone here. "What happened to hello? How are you? My name is? What just cuz you're locked up you get to be rude? I'm not the broad to try that with."

Truly it was wild to think that the lot of them have done and been through so many things. Velociraptors on the moon? Granted, they were running on an asteroid. Still, when she had decided to join the X-men, she didn't figure she would be going on wild adventures like this. She didn't regret it though. This was helping her grow.

She wondered how Detective Ed and Barry were feeling. She hadn't checked in on them in a while, but it was still awkward having conversations with people only she and a few others saw. Though it was probably not the weirdest thing this group has seen if their stories were any indication.

She hoped Mary could connect with Guin and the others soon. If they had any hope of getting through this, they needed to all be together.

They had it.

They were so close. Percy had diffused the bomb and they were scott-free. However, the timer ticking down was another thing altogether. And given she knew it was C4, it would be immense. Percy called for them to run, but Sabine took a minute. Didn't the dude have teleportation powers?

Before she could call him out on that, Percy came to his senses and teleported them. She was used to it by now but when they blinked back to existence they were right back to the thorn wall. Sabine couldn't believe it. The fucking freshman ruined their chances of winning now, surely. And now he was sick.

Sabine glanced over to him after he complained. Sick? Dude teleported around all the time. The first time she did she was sick, he should be used to it.

Taking her hunch, she used her powers to get inside Percy's head. Something wasn't right. And then she noticed. She remembered who she was dealing with.

"Dorian, get out of him and get back to your team or so help me I will rip you out myself and shove you so far up your own ass even your ghost powers won't get you free!"

Sabine attempted to boot Dorian out herself, but he was latched on to Percy's soul, not his mind. She couldn't do much.

Well, she could, but Percy wouldn't like it.

"Fine, if you won't come out, I'll do it myself."

She glanced at Percy, hoping the kid was in there somewhere still, and shrugged. "Wanted to do this the first time we met but at least I have a plausible reason this time. Sorry kid." And with as much might as she could muster...cold-clocked Percy, sending the freshman to the floor, not moving, out cold.

She waited a beat, before she ran over, attempting to wake him up. Hopefully Dorian would get kicked out. "Percy, wake up now. We need you to teleport us to the end. We saw it. We were there! Preferably before or after the bomb explodes."

It had occurred to her that she was being quite silly.

It wasn't as if she considered the two people she was with as friends. And they were speaking nonsense. Sorceress Supreme? There was only one supreme sorceress and it was her.

So in she glided, further towards the cup that neither of her tentative associates bothered to touch. She picked it up, letting it hold and fit into her palm before she swallowed the liquid whole. As she did, the Shadow vanished. The liquid went down like hot blood, almost boiling. Once it was done, she set the cup down, wiping a little bit off her lip. "Someone had to do it."

She felt this sensation before. It was the time her Lord had come to see her. The first time she got a taste of the power. The feeling is unlike anything else. This was something new. It was the starting point. And she felt strong. She felt her teeth with her tongue and they felt sharp. Was she changing? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Either way, this was power. The other two were surely fools for letting it slip from their grasp.
