Redstar has posed:
A few minutes ago Rikki's phone had buzzed with a text message. It was a familiar number...too familiar. It was her mother's old one and it was an address in NYC. Then the phone rang. "Sweety?! Rikki is that you? I only have ten seconds or they'll trace this. We're alive. Long story. We need your help. Shit!" The sound of a gunshot and the line goes dead.

As the disappearance continues the number of Mystical energies popping up around New York has increased. The scent of brimstone and sulphur linger for those who know what it means. Many of the city finally are taking things seriously, hiding their girls from the unknown threat. But not every girl has a place to hide and there are those who can be drawn out.

Ripples in the aether and Astral point to this part of town. A circle will be completed somewhere within a couple blocks in Mutant Town. The address drawing Rikki in is old and in need of repair. Firetrap comes to mind. The specific apartment? The basement one that cement stairs lead down in a dead end alley.

The door lies open, light spilling from inside. A magical hum tells those who can sense such that magic has been laid here...though it could just be strong wards right?

Arc has posed:
Its a peaceful day up in Westchester. Things are mostly quiet. Rikki is doing one the two things she does best. Eating. After all, it takes a lot of energy to function at the insane speeds she's capable. Today's dinner, Lasanga. THREE FULL FREAKING PANS of lasagna. She was just minding her business and chatting it up with one of the few others who could keep up with her for eating in the school, Rift. She was just finishing up when she heard her phone go off.

Quietly she picked up her phone and took a look to see who it was. Her face went white. "This... It can't be. She's dead!" She answered the phone and there was no mistaking it. It was her Mother. The teenage girl stood up right there. "My Mom's alive!" Lightning crackled all around her and a thunderous sound errupted as she took off. Within a moments time she was out of the school and on her way to New York City.

Kid Omega has posed:
Quentin Quire was no mystic, though he could, when he wished, travel the astral plane and when he did that he could see all sorts of trippy stuff. That's how he found the place, wandering the astral plain and being confronted by the waves of magical energy coming off the place. What with the explosion and some of his girl Omega's up and vanishing, he figured it was worth a look. He'd returned to his body then got ready for battle. Which in his case meant grabbing a few of his Omegas to keep watch while he went in solo with his powers to figure out what the hell was going on and if they were there pull his lame ass people out and scold them for getting caught.

Pausing a block away from the building he sends out his Omega Gangers to keep an eye out for any trouble coming in behind, then, sticking his hands in his magenta coat, he stolls towards the open door, whistling tunelessly as he does. Those who can see such things though might notice the strength of the telekinetic bubble he wraps himself in.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua stares at the staticky area where Rikki just was. She runs out and takes off, trying to match Rikki's course, but she can't travel that fast. She sends a text to Rikki asking where she's going. She loses track of Rikki's lightning trail but flies as fast as she can - which is pushing the speed barrier. She hopes she gets a response soon as she approaches NYC.

Raven has posed:
    These days, Raven is spending a lot of time in introspection. Most of her days are passed within her soul self, like some sort of incredibly mystical Russian Nesting Doll.

    Within the pitch blackness of the fabric of her own very being, Raven is, quite simply, floating. Cross-legged. Eyes closed in a level of silence so complete that one might be able to hear the decay of molecules, were there any other than the air which she is breathing. Seemingly from nowhere, her almost-luminescently purple eyes snap open.

    "Hm. Mutant Town."

    Quite likely the most dangerous half-breed on the planet, Raven sets her feet down below her, and within the nothingness of herself, steps forward. On a roof nearby the building that oh so many portents and Astral squirmings pointed to, a shadow, blacker than black, stretches out in the form of a bird- no, specifically, the silhouette of a raven. Walking out of this shadow as if stepping up a small staircase, the sweater clad half-extradimensional-monstrosity takes a position on the lip of the building. There she stands like some sort of trendy, gothic Gargoyle, waiting for everything to... Well, click. Then, she'll take action.

Redstar has posed:
The sound of a tv blaring comes from the apartment. Sounds like a game show. But no movement from inside or other sounds. People pass on the street, oblivious to the man in the coat. A cat hisses among the garbage in the alley, bolting across Quentin's path.

From the garbage emerges a bum chasing said cat. An empty can thrown from dirty fingers. His face is as filthy as the rest and he smells like beer and piss. He sees the man walking and stumbles forward drunkenly, "Thpare any change, thir?" He asks with a notable lisp.

As Rikki arrives her phone pings again, Kitora's question in a text. Nothing obvious to human eyes is out of place. It's a slum and people are cold, hungry, and hopeless.

Arc has posed:
As her phone chirps, Rikki checks it hoping its her Mother again. Its not of course. She sends the directions to Kitora as she stops and looks around. The sight around her is tragic to say the least. Seeing all the cold and hungry... Its a really painful thing to see. Whats more... No sign of her mother.

With a burst of speed she runs to Central Park and then runs back. What for? Well she's got a stick. She quickly starts a fire in an old metal trashcan with the stick so people can at least be warm.

Kid Omega has posed:
Quire gives the bum a sour look. "No. Fuck off," he says the words with intent. He begins to push the thought into the bum's mind that he should be far away, really, really, fast, but stops himself. A slow smile creeping across his lips. "Go in that door for me would you," he says to the bum nodding to the open door. The command is pushed into his brain, it sounds like a great idea! If the man goes, then Quentin sits back and watches, looking cool and leaning against a lamp post.

Rift has posed:
Rift arrives at the location that Rikki gave her as she floats idly above the area, not saying anything, just watching the situation from below, trying to see Rikki. (This is after Rikki ran to and back from Central Park). She then sees a fire in a trash can and descends that way, her eerily-glowing body probably making some people recoil from the odd sight. "Rikki?" she calls.

Raven has posed:
    Raven's eyes scan the building, but there is more going on with her than meets the eye. She is reaching out, polling through the stone and mortar in order to figure out how many people are inside- there are certain details that will stand out. The most she can feel is emotions, though, not necessarily thoughts. She can't read minds, necessarily, but she can tell how many minds there are, and what they're feeling. She's looking for fear and... Well, nothing.

    Fear lets her know who is out of their depth- and a lack of emotion whatsoever tells her that someone is either being controlled- or simply isn't human. Regardless of her results, it is clear to her after not too long that nothing is happening outside of the building- but rather, likely, inside.

    She slips down into a warping shadow, just as it takes flight, seemingly two-dimensional, from one building to another. It passes through the wall, and on the other side, Raven herself steps free of its grasp on the first floor. She emerges from this pool of blackness, hands in the pockets of the thick upper clothing she seems to be wearing... Basically all the time. Now within the building, what she sees will dictate where she has to go from here- but her bet is basically on the basement, because... Well, it's always the basement.

Redstar has posed:
Starr the bum stops, hand out, blinking quickly as the thoughts intrude. "Sure thing," He says and heads down and inside. As he pushes it open his eyes go wide and he falls back in shock, hands over his mouth. A sense of horror and fear for his own life flowing from his thoughts and emotions. The thoughts flashing through his head is blood. So much blood. And death. He turns and runs in stark terror past Quentin onto the street, "MURDER!" He starts screaming. Clearly he isn't all there. "The vampires are coming!"

It is about par for the course in NYC really. The folks of Mutant Town glance at the rambling bum and dismiss him. They even don't really seem bothered by Rift's powers. A woman passing by, gray and wrinkled, frowns at the teen. "You should be home safe!" The woman scolds before continuing on her way.

The building has families and couples, loners and roomates. Grief and worry and low-level dread of life fill the building. This place is a center if human misery. But something lurks in the corners almost hidden. Evil has a smell, if you know how to sense it. As the door lays wider it leaks into the alley like a slow miasma, calling to those like it, the negative emotions of the fifty or so inhabitants begin to swell. Demonic magic. Something big is brewing in the basement apartment of 667 Farrow St.

Arc has posed:
A split second later, Rikki is standing next to Rift. "My mom called. She said she's alive and in trouble. She gave me this address. She had to hang up." She frowns and looks at the building. It feels... off. It makes her feel sick almost. "I guess we gotta go in don't we?" She asks curiously. "I can try to run in and check everything but I dunno if thats a good idea."

She smiles and gets an idea. "okay Lets do it this way. I am going to call you and leave my phone on. Then I can run in. From there, you can hear whats going on. If things are really bad you can come in and kick some ass." She gets out the phone and makes the call.

Rift has posed:
Rift nods as she answers the call as she smiles, nodding slowly. "If the line is open, I should be able to open a portal to that location so... go in and scout it out, Ms. Speedster," she states, as she looks around for some useful debris to be able to pull into orbit to use as weapons.

Kid Omega has posed:
Quentin feels queasy just looking at this place, and the bum screaming about vampires just made it so much better.

Something takes shape in his hand, a glowing translucent shotgun, a manifestation of his psychic and telekinetic powers rolled into one affectation laden package. The effort of summoning it weakens his shield but it was still strong enough to repel even the building falling on him. He strides forward through the door brandishing the shotgun. "Vaaaaampires come out and plaaay," he calls into the building. Creeped out or not, he wasn't going to not try and have fun with this. I mean, he was going to get to kill some vampires, how badass was that?

Raven has posed:
    Stepping forward into the mire of blood and ritual, Raven can just about smell the demonic influence, the taint of it. It is, of course, overly familiar. Immediately, her neutral expression adopts a more frowning, moderately furious tone.

    She rises up out of the blood and murder, her attention on the ritual either being performed, or having -been- performed. "Someone is playing with forces they do not understand." she lets out, in her low, somewhat dreamy monotone. "I think it is best if we put this all to rest."

Redstar has posed:
As people enter the center of the gathering gloom the sight may leave lesser stomachs heaving. Blood covers the floor of the apartments living room, about a 1/2" thick. All the furniture has been smashes or pushed to the edges as if by some sphere of force. The tv lays on it's side blaring Jeopardy. "Religion for $100, Alex?" A contestant says. ?In Christian teachings, what was the name of the angel who rebelled against-" The buzzers on the show blare loudly.

Five bodies, a family ranging from 9 to their 40 are laid in a circle. Their heads would be facing at the center if they weren?t made into a gruesome totem pole instead. Every face but what must have been the mothers is locked in fear. Hers is perhaps more disturbing for it's smile is sensual, eyes slightly narrowed and staring hungrily at the door.

The magic hangs heavy and waiting. Quentin can even feel it. The magic looking at him and then ignoring him. The same for Raven. They are not it's purpose...

Arc has posed:
Rikki nods to Rift. "Here we go!" Lightning arcs around her as she takes off running. Her body moving like a bat out of hell. The door rips open as she races into the building.

Time seems to slow down, even for the speedster. She feels extremely off as Magic crackles around her. "Err Kitora..." Magic wraps around her and...

BOOM!!!

A scream escapes her lips as her body is held. Her fair skin is promptly covered with red scales which give a pearlescent violet. Her eyes begin to burn yellow as a pair of horns rise from her head and sweep backward. Her face contorts. Her mouth ripping open wide into an extremely twisted smile. Her teeth form into sharpened fangs. Her body seems to tower, Magical fire whips around her as a demonic tail rips through her pants. Her clothing is tattered and seared from the changes.

Immediately her body begins shaking as a sickening green lightning begins to form around her. Even the speedforce inside her is twisted and corrupted by whats happened to her. "Its time to play." Her voice is distorted, dark and flat out hateful. She takes off with a thunderous burst of speed. The boom off that alone blows walls in the building clear out.

Rift has posed:
Rift just stares in shock as she hears the boom. She tears a portal open and watches Rikki's transformation... she's becoming... a... DEMON? She zips through the portal, floatnig above the blood-soaked living room, staring in shock at what's going on. "What... what's going on?" she whines sharply, shaking her head. "Rikki? What.... what happened to you?" she calls, knowing she'll never catch her corrupted friend. She just stares, staying suspended over the floor, as she gets her cellphone, getting ready to call the emergency contact of faXion. This is way above her paygrade...

Kid Omega has posed:
Quentin feels like he wants to puke. The bodies and blood was so not what signed on for. He staggers back a few paces before Rikki zooms past, sending him falling into the blood, staining his magenta coat rich crimson. He begins to lift himself with telekinesis before Rikki turns.

Quentin curses and reaches out with his telepathy to try and stop the demon speedster, but then she's gone. Quentin, yanks back with his mind and throws all his mental faculties into pushing outwards through his shield and keep the building from crushing him.

Raven has posed:
    Raven is there to watch Rikki's transformation in full, and as is the usual case with speedsters, she's about a second too late with the warning. Attuned to the mystical forces at play in more ways than one, when it passes her up, she knows it.

    "Wait! Get away, you don't-"

    Then, there's the blast of it happening and Rikki thunderously charging off. Behind a semi-translucent barrier made of jet blackness, Raven is outlined in a corona of white, as if being sketched on the shield in the moments following Rikki's run.

    Her eyes scan the room she's in, and for the moment, she spots Quentin- "This will not feel pleasant." she calls, before to him she stretches a single, smoky tendril of shadow.

    Assuming that he doesn't leap clear or fling himself out of the way via telekinesis, the two will find themselves outside within the space of a few moments. It will be jarring, suddenly existing without oxygen or sensory input, especially as it lasts several seconds while Raven's soul-self scours the building for any other apartment dwelling civilians, in hopes of taking them all outside as well in one smooth teleport.

    It's very likely that the only person on their feet afterwards is Raven- for whom such things are a beyond daily occurrence.

Redstar has posed:
The magical boom shakes the foundations of the tenement. Screams of terror can be heard as the building shudders and groans. Ceilings at the middle begin to collapse, which just happen to be someone?s floor. The sonic boom does the structure no favors, shattering all the glass within and nearby.

In the wake of the spell's completion the blood, bodies, and heads are reduced to a viscous black substance. The whole basement smells of brimstone and sulphur. Flames begin to spread from Rikki's hellfire-touched speed-force. The sludge catches like gas and in seconds the place is ablaze. No fire alarms sound as smoke begins to pour out, thick and toxic.

Raven pulls the 65 odd people out. Their terror making it easier to find them. A handful are injured badly, others are just flipping out. One man with a gun remains standing as she deposits him outside. "ALIENS!!!" And he starts shooting blindly into the crowd of his neighbors.

Arc has posed:
Wind rushes as the world burns. Rift is about to get a surprise as the demonic speedster is right behind her now. She simply taps her on the shoulder. The second she turns, she speaks. "Come Play with me darling." She quickly leans in and kisses her. Then... She takes off again.The speedster is spreading that hellfire around this chunk of the city.

That dark smile curls as she begins racing around a building. Fire begins welling up. Stepping onto the wall, she keeps going, spreading more of the hellfire all the way up onto the rooftops. A quick jump from the rooftop sends her sailing to the next rooftop. It definitely seems that the girl who was there before the demon took over is gone.

Kid Omega has posed:
The tendril is met with curiosity rather than fear. The fear comes later when it whisks him away into that space without air and sensation. He grasps his throat when he breathes and no air comes into his lungs. << Take us back! >> his mind shouts into the void.

When Raven does, Quentin collapses to his knees, breathing hard. "What in the hell was that?" he asks once he can speak again.

Then the guy with the gun starts to shoot. Quentin brings up his shield around himself first, the move lets the guy get another shot off, then, with an almost lazy wave of his hand he grips the guy in the full might of his telekinetic power and hurls him across the street into the side of the building with a sickening crunch.

Rift has posed:
Rift was ported outside the building with Raven's spell. She blinks, closing her portal, not really sure what to make with it. Then that green streak comes up to her. It's the demonic Rikki. Then that invitation and the kiss. She touches her lips... as her lips burn. She then doubles over and starts to scream as something begins possessing her. Her normally bright red aura starts to ripple and distort, changing to a sickly orange. Rift's internal glows also change to orange, as horns and a tail form, the tail having its own internal orange glow like her arms and legs. She growls softly, stretching, getting used to this, her expression changing from one of concern to... greed. She floats up, orange fire sparking from her aura as she starts to look for things of interest.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    The skies themselves seem to somehow grow even darker, the very heat is sucked out of the very sky of mutant town, and pulled towards a black dot against the sky with a crack of lighting flashing through the sky behind him. Stephen looks over his shoulder and nods curtly to himself before he drops down to the sidewalks where Quentin and Raven have evacuated the tennents.

    With the look of pure dread as he reaches his hand out to attempt to stop Quention from throwing the man violently against the wall, Stephen sees that he arrived a moment too late and in a fit of rage the Doctor turns his steel gaze upon the telekinetic and snarls as he steps to his right and into a sudden hole in reality, a wormhole created mystically, to deposit him as close as possible to the demonic being sending off the strong waves of mystic energy.

Raven has posed:
    Raven is standing firm among the people present, even as a man brandishes a firearm and just... Starts shooting. Raven has the reaction time to quite literally consume his fear and madness, but despite making him calm before he's flung about by a ragdoll, she doesn't have the presence of power to argue with a telekinetic.

    Strange's arrival takes her by surprise, her brow rising, and hand lifting in order to call his attention to her... But nevertheless, he is off and away before she particularly has the ability to do so. There is a sigh, and her hand goes back into her pocket. The people on the ground are okay- Quentin having... Taken care of the shooter before seemingly anyone was particularly hurt. As well, as much as it irks her, Raven suppresses her reaction to the loss of life, her expression passive.

    Her attention then shifts to the demonically transformed Rift. Despite her reaction, though, there probably isn't anyone better to be on the scene of this particular mystical nightmare than her and Strange.

    "Well, shit."

    Off she goes, into the skies to follow the good Doctor, though with enough of a pause in pace as to allow him moments to do whatever it was he seemingly planned to do.

Redstar has posed:
Fire, fire, burning higher
Making music like a choir

This area of town is filled with buildings lagging in codes or made of cheap materials. The result is the same as Rikki spreads mayhem through the borough of Mutant Town.

Screams spread as the wind seems to blow harder. The fire skips from roof to roof without Demon-Rikki's help. Sirens sound in the distance as emergency crews respond to the initial boom. Fire engines join that of police and ambulance. A cacophony of sound filters closer slowly, Sunday evening traffic causing delays.

Far above the sound of a helicopter can be heard, followed by another. News hawks apparently. And they get a lovely show as the fire is sucked away from buildings that were starting to blaze. But they also see the crazed man flung into a wall, looking more like a swatted fly than a human now. People have hit the streets now, adding to the chaos, fleeing burning homes.

Arc has posed:
Rikki races down to the ground. The rather flirtatious demoness races up to a young guy who happens to be watching and freaking out. Quickly she leans in and kisses him deeply. Her own body glows violet for a second as the panicked guy goes limp and drops to the ground. "Yummy."

With that she races off to cause more damage. She's not holding her speed back which means, Windows are shattering from sonic booms and glass is flying assuming it isn't melting from the hell fire all around.

Rift has posed:
Rift grins widely as she looks around. Her eyes are wide as she witnesses Raven and Doctor Strange. Knowing that these two mystical entites are dangerous to her, she considers, then giggles insanely. "I want it all!" she calls as she giggles, as she starts flying away, paralleling Demon-Rikki. As she flies along, cries of outrage, mostly feminine, follow her, as any jewelry and electronics are pulled into her orbit with her. She's basically doing fly-by theft. She then flies away, not making as much fuss as Rikki's hellfire lightning, but disappears in an orange streak and punches through a manhole cover into the sewers, giggling maniacially as there's a trail of people who had minor robbery committed on them.

Kid Omega has posed:
Quentin meets the strange dude in the cloak's stare for the moment it lasts. "He was killing people!" he shouts the words are edged with hurt. As he shouts his mind is already working, sending out commands to his Omega Gang wherever they are in Mutant Town, giving them instructions to help people get off the street and deal with any troublemakers. As for the crowd of in front of them, he shouts, "Get clear!" giving the words a little suggestion behind them to make them stick.

From there the rest of Quentin's night is spent trying to put out fires, literal and otherwise.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen steps through his personal portal with a quickness to his step like a surgeon in the ER. He has a presense and a sense of purpose that few people ever do, he's not only here to help, he's absolutely confident he can, and even worse, he's one of the only ones who CAN help. The wizard's eyes aren't capable of keeping up with Rikki's speed, but this isn't the first time he's had to face a speedster.

    The Sorcerer Supreme calls upon his near limitless experiences to move his hands on pure instinct. The man's damaged digits contort painfully as he reaches into the depths of magic and invokes one of this dimensions most powerful entities. "By the Crimson might of Cyttorak, I bind thee with the Crimson Bands!" He decrees in Rikki's direction and a taffy like band of malleable and impenetrable fabric snakes out of a crack in the ground at the speedster's feet.

Raven has posed:
    Fires rage, and for a moment, Raven contemplates them. However, they have little to do with her, really- she isn't the type to put out those kinds of fires, and their -source- is still literally running rampant. She takes to the sky just as Stephen starts to engage the speedster at the speed of thought, and zooms forward. As she passes, she speaks to the Sorcerer Supreme- "If you can hold her, that would be very useful."

    Raven has faced speedsters before, but really, not like this. In addition, the idea of focusing on two things at once- holding and expelling- is not one she considers favorable. The division of labor is good.

    Pressing on, Raven can't necessarily keep up with the raw speed as much as she can Rikki's attention span. She'll confront her, in time, but only if the streaking woman stops on occasion.

Arc has posed:
Rikki continues raising hell... Quite literally. She is still ripping around the area causing more fires and just being a regular demoness. Finally she darts over in front of Rachel. "Hello Dear. Daddy says Hello!" She gives about the most smug look possible. She snickers and takes off running, leaving a trail of fire behind her. Within a heartbeat, she's gone. Where to? That is the mystery.

Daddy says Hello!" She gives about the most smug look possible. She snickers and takes off running, leaving a trail of fire behind her.

Suddenly things get get a little fishy. As her legs are bound she forces herself to keep going. A blood curdling scream escapes her lips. She whips her head around to glare at the Sorcerer Supreme. "RELEASE ME, SORCERER." She screams. Her body begins to vibrate wildly. She's trying to phase through the magical binds as she continues to move away from him.

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen keeps his hands aimed at Rikki with the bands blooming and stretching from the ground and attempting to bind the woman's legs together while coiling up higher and higher, to restrain her arms to her sides and even cover her mouth. The almost rubber bands of magic shining and glowing red as they pulse with the waves of magic from the caster and the invoked demi-god.

    Stephen's usually stoic lips smirk softly, "I'm not the one you should be worried about, demon." The wizzened wizard remarks with a motion of his grey eyes towards the much younger and almost infinitely more dangerous witch on the other side of Rikki.

Raven has posed:
    The bindings strike Rikki just at the right time of Raven providing the erstwhile distraction of... Well, being present. Just like the demon presenting Rikki had been taunting her, Raven most assuredly taunts back, as Rikki drops to the ground in the spell of the Sorcerer Supreme.

    "If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Most demons are idiots."

    She drops low, to her haunches, as the shadow below her creeps out, seeping around the corrupted speedster as if both animate and sentient- and the way it surges upwards to hook into the bound woman seems all the more practically hungry.

    "My father does say hello. He sends me letters, writes to me in my sleep, claws at the back of my mind whenever I get a moment of silence. The Sons play with toys they cannot fathom. Test themselves against forces they have no match for."

    Raven's soul self is a wonderful, malleable thing. Capable of almost if not anything Raven can possibly think of, probably even more than that, and unto itself is its own pocket dimension. Today, Raven is thinking of all the ways that one would go about tearing a soul apart. She is thinking about this because that is the only way, that she can see, to undo what has been done. A possession, after all, is one of two things- either the replacement of a soul within a body, sending the soul that was there somewhere else... Or the merging of two souls. Either way, Raven is very skilled at using her soul-self to... Well, perform a kind of soul-surgery, to soul-mend what could be called Rikki's own soul-self.

    It is not a fast process. It probably also doesn't feel very good.

    "One way or another, I will send you back where you belong."

    By now, Raven's eyes are no longer visible. Where they were is utter darkness, surrounded like an eclipsed sun with a bright, white corona. She really is dangerous.

Redstar has posed:
A circle of green fire erupts around Rikki as she falls to the ground. A flash and she falls through a portal that seals the moment it is through. The lines of containment being cut off as it snaps closed.

"Not letting you have one of my toys just yet, Stephen Strange," A deep and rumbling voice, familiar and still cruel, speaks. "We will meet soon."

Doctor Strange has posed:
    "Then I'm going to need a gift receipt, this is certainly not a toy I asked for." Stephen Strange says as he steps closer towards where the girl Rikki was mere moments ago and he stands with his hands clenched and his jaw aimed up into the sky at the disembodied demon's voice.

    "You can keep your spirits, but the girl. She will be returned to her home or you will suffer the full wrath of the Sorcerer Supreme. Do you hear me Satannish!?" Oh, Strange certainly recognizes that voice.

Redstar has posed:
A deep chuckle of amusement. "All in due time, all in due time." Then the sense of presence fades.

Raven has posed:
    Raven stands, and the black fades from her eyes. Stephen's response is much more... Expressive than Raven's, of course, because Raven doesn't necessarily like to... Express. Slipping her hands into her pockets, she looks to the Sorcerer and states her frustration in the only way she really can. Through snark.

    "This is why I never let my Father visit."

Arc has posed:
Rikki appears again. Where at though? Well Not in Mutant town. Nope She's not even in NYC right now. She's actually in Metropolis. The demoness just snickers as she begins planning her next move. The first step... She was hungry. The good thing is, She has exited near a hospital...

Doctor Strange has posed:
    Stephen cants a single eyebrow at Raven's comment and releases a deep breath before he looks around the two of them at the mess of a scene they find themselves in.

    Fires being fought, crowds of people crying at the loss of life and home on top of people now being possessed by other worldly beings and entities. Never a dull day in New York, but Stephen Strange rarely shows up on even the most abnormal of the city's days. Though he can't help himself and returns with a hint of counter snark in that practiced egotistical way he lives, "This is why I never let your father visit." Stephen says with his signature dry humor before he starts to float back up into the sky and while some people need a talking to about the way they help people, he has a girl to save from a horrific dimension.
