Hell's Kitchen.
Clinton, Manhattan.
10:28 PM.
"Are you sure this will work?" Illyana asks, tilting her head to the side as she looks at the offered pills. "I don't want to have to come back here. If I do, it will be like the bear to the baby goat. Do you understand?" The Russian hints in her tone are confident and bold. Even her expression is one of intensity, all filling a youthful body that is not truly hers.
She stands from a table in the far back of Josie's Bar, pocketing her treasure for the evening, and then looks the man in front of her over for a brief moment. He looks nervous, and a bead of sweat threatens to fall from his temple. Illyana sees this but does not make mention of it; instead, she gives the hefty gentleman a devious smile and walks to the exit of the bar.
The hood of her jacket falls over the blonde strands of her hair as Illyana walks several blocks. She would be a fool if she did not notice the three gentlemen following behind her. It might even be a familiar sight to those that spent a long enough time in Hell's Kitchen to notice. While Illyana was not a newcomer to this part of the city, her appearance deceived the mind, giving those with less than savory morals to act on things that were inhumane.
Illyana continues to walk a few more blocks, passing several others in the process. Physically, her steps were full of purpose. Mentally, she wanted to have a little fun.
- Kid has posed:
Nothing like a night of good old fashin hunting...sort of. Kid was still getting used to the idea of using his illusions 'less' while adopting a different form of hunting. Instead of picking and choosing his 'meals' his 'meals' not choose him.
Or in other words, if you attack the gorilla, your mind is his! Self defense is self defense long as it doesn't look staged. And luckily this side of town, mugging were common enough to not be staged!
Still though it was slow going - much slower than his preferred method. As he walked down the block, hands in his pockets, he gazed about lightly, bored...an illusionary tune goes out. The eerie song of some phantom violin playing in the night to those it effects. A way to pass the time as he waits...
And waiting seems to pay off. As he gazes forward...he was approaching Illyana as it stood...and three folks following her. He snorts and keeps marching forward, head down as if trying to mind his own buisness, least for now.
- Magik has posed:
The three gentlemen were picking up their paces, inching closer to their target to close the distance between them. Before they could get too close to her, and right before Illyana could cross paths with Kid in front of her, she turns right down a dark alley. It is littered with trashcans, feline animals, and a light splattering of homeless men.
When the three men turn down the alley, they can see Illyana running to the other end of the alley. Immediately, they begin running now that they have been found out, to catch what appears to be a snowflake in hell. One of the guys puts his athletic build to the test, getting so close to her that it was only a few seconds to get to the trashcan that he saw Illyana hide behind.
But she is not there.
"The fuck?" he cursed, looking around for the illusion that was set for him. "She was just right here. She must have been a mutie."
"You are a smart man," a Russian voice calls out, coming from nowhere in particular. "Oh, but that is not my mutant power. My gift is more than such deceitful trickery, da..."
- Kid has posed:
Kid watches Illyana turn down the alleyway and than the three folks. He grunts thinking the girl was an idiote, or a genuise. Depending on how she handles herself, he thinks.
He soon at the alley and looks in, seeing the various homeless folks...and the three confused men. Genuise it was. He leans agaist the brick wall, and watches, to see how this will turn out. He wasn't there hear her speak to the men, and he clearly wasn't exactly in the hero buisness considering he wasn't rushing in there to help.
- Magik has posed:
"...and together, that makes me an unstoppable force of nature."
Underneath two of the men, a pool of golden light appears and swallows them whole. Both pools disappear and another appears in front of the last man. From it, those around can hear the roars of unimaginable creatures, and soon appears the woman the robbers were after.
"But you..." Illyana continues, moving fast enough to grab the man by the throat, "...are a mere mortal in the grand scheme of things. You prey on those you feel are weaker than yourselves, and then run with your tail between your legs when faced with adversity." Her grip strengthens, choking the man with a strength that seemed abnormal for a woman with Illyana's frame.
Then, she lets go. "Now run."
The robber wastes little time in heeding Illyana's demand, passing Kid as he makes his way from the alley. She removes her hoodie and turns to find Kid watching the spectacle. Illyana starts walking in his direction.
- Kid has posed:
And Kid ends up rolling his eyes as he heard the rest of Magik's speech to them. He wasn't impressed evidently, or perhaps he didn't show it. His heard turns lightly as he watches the would be robber run past him.
Well there goes dinner.
He turns back to Illyana and appraises her a moment. Eventually while still leaning he begins to sign - a watch on his wrist speaking in his stead "Well arn't you a tease. What happened to the other two?"
- Magik has posed:
As Illyana gets closer, she is prepared to deal with Kid in a similar fashion as she had the robbers, but his presence is familiar to her. Etching through her memories, the Russian is able to pull up an instance when the advanced gorilla is at the mansion.
Closing the distance between them and hearing his query of the gentlemen, Illyana snorts, "Worry over things that only concern yourself, monkey." She walks passed him and back onto the sidewalk of Hell's Kitchen, turning and gazing icy blue eyes in the direction the man is running.
"Besides, do you really care where I sent them?"
- Kid has posed:
Kid signs not bothering to turn around "Well congratulations, it did happen to concern myself. Else I wouldn't be asking." he rolls his shoulders "Ahh, so you sent them somewhere. Guess my question was answered" he after all just wanted to know what happened to them.
He finally turns and signs "Well, guess this night just got longer" he puts his hands behind his head and begins strolling along. The other man was running, the other two where gone and Illyana was a vague curiosity at best.
- Magik has posed:
Illyana does not turn as Kid's words can be heard, but what he is saying goes less so. She is watching the robber, eyeing the street he is now turning down. Shaking her head, Illyana replaces the hoodie to cover her head and starts walking in the direction of the man that is running from her. She knows exactly where he is going, and decides to pay that place a visit next.
