⤳ @nexusbeing, asked: ‹ It’s mortifying coming to you like this. ›
Of all the people to show up unannounced in the middle of night, it was not over-exaggeration to rank the woman before her at the very last. Now, of course, there was not as abhorrent an animosity between them now, but a strange, tenuous ground which had been reached by way of sweat and blood: they tread an icy ground, thin and looming. A word between them is either snow boots or ice picks. Mortifying was putting the sensation quite lightly, she had to imagine. ❝ Yeah, ❞ she begins, a curt nod, an answer to a question she wouldn't be so cruel as to force Wanda to ask: she would let her in without question, opening her door wide and angling her own body so as to be the last to enter, peering into the apartment hallway to check for lingering threats. Penthouse's got its perks, isolation and all. ❝ Ah don't think there are words enough in the English language to describe how it's feeling to be, uh –– come to. ❞
With the door shut, the pair stand awkward in the foyer, darkness enveloping them for a few prolonged moments before Rogue shuffles to turn on a light (truth be told, she hesitated at the action, wondering if maybe it'd make 'em both a helluva lot comfier not being able to see one another). ❝ Watch the cats, ❞ she says, an aptly timed warning as Lucifer trots over with an overeager nature, rubbing against Wanda's leg expectantly. Meanwhile, Rogue takes a few steps towards the kitchen, already grabbing a glass from the cabinet. ❝ Water? Somethin' stronger, maybe? ... If you're here, Ah'm guessing you need it. ❞ A prodding without anything too forceful; maybe because she's trying to play it decent, maybe because she's still too groggy from being woken up by a knock on the door sounding out through the apartment.

— @nexusbeing: who am i kidding, you’re already spoken for. // The Elysium temple is grand enough to echo and Wanda’s voice carries, whether she means for it to do so or not. Those in service to the cthonic gods here in Hades shuffle uncomfortably in her presence, so beside themselves are they with a visit from one not receiving trial. So few willingly drop into the Underworld that any visitor to do so inspires trepidation. Their king, for his part, looks wholly uninterested and furthermore rather tired despite so few words exchanged. ❝ Is this your coming’s purpose? A proposition? ❞
Laughter like the bloom of asphodel fills the daunt. Persephone rises from her throne, but not before she flicks her husband’s shoulder in scold. ❝ Enough of your gloom, Aidon. ❞ Praxidike takes with her the only warm in hell and Hades behind her pouts at the loss of her. His wife is too busy smiling at Wanda as she closes the distance between them. ❝ He speaks not for me. Tell me what you would have and if I might provide it for you. ❞

⊹ the god-eater in hiding has appeared 💬 . . .
YOU CAME INTO THIS WORLD HALF-RAVENOUS AND BRUISED. when that expanse of want fills with grief it leaves nothing but an imprint of malice upon the soul ( so i gave that mangled bit of me away, that pulpy sinuous shell became a case for the spirit of a torrent ) even here with their warmth beside her that prick of steel enclosed around her fingers remains. THAT FATED SWORD I DROVE INTO THE DRAGON'S CHEST. one had to slay the beast in order to become it. @nexusbeing, a creature confined to this cage of regality, was a devourer of her own, though her hunger was long hidden from perception.
upon the dragon there is a diadem of sapphire at her brow with silver crescents hung from the curving metal, the drooping pendants which framed her gaze . here, they call her moon-eater as the sky hangs darkened overhead and she illuminates the land with stolen light. pitched lightning at her grasp but she puts it down for her, the further eclipse in her night. ❛ i've been waiting a long time for you. ❜ the cloak of diplomacy has been shed with her approach. LIKE CALLING TO LIKE; WHETHER IT BE COBALT OR VERMILLION THEY BOTH ARE PART OF THE FLAME. the gaze of the pale serpent alighting then, a display indicating the third eye had cause to open. ❛ and you for me ━ though you may not know it yet. ❜ the truth is not shrouded for the simple sake of enigmatic air; if too much was revealed at once the mind would be fractured beyond repair. the psyche more delicate than blossom she could come to cultivate; though she had a tending hand when she wished to.
❛ i mean you no harm, princess. it is others that you should cast your suspicion upon. ❜ there is music which accompanies each step, the twinkling chime of trinkets colliding against scale . a distortion of rainfall is the melody she carries with her as the throne is approached .

— 𝐌. | INSIDE THIS STORE, SHE IS A FRENZIED WOMAN: a drum within her temple begins to rattle. her form feels as if it were scattering into stars. the woman stands behind her glass counter, in an empty space, as still as the corpses hanging in the meat locker. it is after - hours in an empty atmosphere, the last customer gone home some minutes ago –– she would not know, time stretching and squeezing itself from her fingers. she differentiates between rest and wakefulness in so few ways. when awake, a woman walks through her peripheral vision as a dream... unbelonging yet comfortable. when awake, the woman feels more real than the corners of this store. the viscera the Saint is so used to feels less tangible. in this empty pocket of the market, she knows that she is not sleeping. the drumming in her temple continues at a snail's pace; it draws itself out as she reaches for the small glass beside her, its shallowness filled with brown liquid that bites against her throat when she takes a sip. the bell of the store dings, the door opens; a familiar figure appears... and the Saint ( ! ) does well not to sputter. ❝ oh, have you returned to haunt my solitude ? ❞ says the vampiristic woman. her voice is a strong quiver against the quiet air, made ravaged by the swig of liquor. Three times, she begins again, you have come into my store as a ghost... said nothing. Said nothing.
the woman ( @nexusbeing ), she thinks, gives something close to a grimace. the Saint watches as she moves through the store, the woman no longer bound to last - minute glances but instead wholly seen, entirely consumed. she comes close to the glass counter, places a hand against the cool surface. ❝ i didn’t tell you this before, but you were in my dream last night. ❞ the woman behind the counter stares a hard glare. she reaches for her glass, finishes its contents, relishes the bite in her throat.
❝ I DON'T DREAM. YOU HAVE THE WRONG PERSON. ❞ and here returns the cruel biting, defenses made out of swift unsureness, a casual violence attempted to be imagined: nothing comes to mind. the Saint ( ! ) takes a moment to consider the other woman, runs a brown gaze from the woman's head to the hand against her counter. I am not present anywhere but here. the sleeping world has nothing to do with her, if not a small measurement of the changing of days, time's messy passage. she narrows her eyes, digs her chin downwards. ❝ if you're having bad dreams, darling, i can recommend you someone else in the market. otherwise... No. I cannot help you. ❞

⤳ @nexusbeing asked: ‹ in the end, no one was coming to save me. ›
“ no kiddin' ... sounds like, on the contrary, lots of folks were coming to kill you. ” mary jane was no expert at the complicated feelings and emotions of supes –– she could hear 'em talk about it for days, and god knows she had, but bottom line never eluded her: she was totally, utterly out of her depth. every single time she had to pull, drag, twist the truth out of petey's pouting lips, she had this sort of nagging insecurity that, ultimately, nothing she heard would ever really register. not completely. NOT THAT SHE'S COMPLAINING. great power, great responsibility, great load of problems. anyway, being a day player in the soap opera of the superhuman didn't stop her from pulling up a chair and lending a ear, 'cause hey, she could at least play a super-listener ( yikes! sorry ... bit cheesy. let's just scratch that one from the record. ) she leans forward, a furrow to her brows, honest intensity laying openly displayed across her features. wanda's big ... bigger than a lot of big folks she's already known. there was something a little overwhelming about seeing the vulnerability of this invulnerable giant, cosmos in the shape of a woman –– she places out her own tiny hand, a silly thing in the middle of all this, and places it gently atop the other's. “ i'm sorry. that must've been mighty scary, red. ”

❝ it's nothing, just a scratch that i can handle myself.❞ ⠀⠀ understatement of the year, the blood pouring out of his forearm begs to differ as the armor peels away ⠀⠀ exposing the flesh and bone ⠀⠀ tony hides it from @nexusbeing, extending his arm away from her & grimacing as he attempts ⠀⠀ [ and fails ] ⠀⠀ to rise up. ⠀⠀ ❝ if you could hand me that — if you could just grab that scrap of metal, i can fix this just fine.❞ ⠀⠀ his pride befalls him, an ode to hubris as he refuses to let wanda see him so weak — his teeth tightening as tony tries to push away from her. ⠀⠀ ❝ what? you think a little blast could hurt me? don't get soft on me sweet — [an expression of pain falls his features, contorting his lips] — sweetheart. ❞ ⠀⠀

@nexusbeing
he’s tipsy.
perhaps a tad more than that, in reality. cheeks glow a dusty pink as he piles through his front door, one shoe on his hand and the other half off his foot as he attempts to quietly subdue it into the designated shoe cubby. “ c’mon, fuckin thing - “ he grunts and at last he’s free from the discomfort of the formal dress shoe. “ wandaaa… ” bucky’s call echoes into the house a little too loudly and he sheepishly sweeps the area for any signs of the woman who had been consuming his thoughts all night.
“ that party was stupid. ” or something equal to that falls from his lips in a slur, huffing as he combs a hand through russet waves. bucky didn’t often drink these days, it was a vice that usually equated coping for some terrible life choice, but when in rome - or whatever the saying was. body settles into his couch with a poof, metallic fingers attempting to shuffle the tie around his neck downward but seeming to only slightly shift the fabric to the side. “ ugh. ” defeat settles in his bones, feet kicked onto the coffee table. he’s tempted to call for wanda again, eyes attempting to focus on something other than the rampant spinning the room was currently doing.

❝ i know my fate whirls about me like water. it’s hard on my heels, following my tracks. ❞
the witcher memes. / accepting.
❝ YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN THAT THEN, HUH ? ❞ it’s all a bit above his paygrade. the stick in his hand, the split-skin sting of his knuckles, the questions of god in the step of things, but there’s no time for that right now.
magic smacks in the air, a puncture wound splitting across reality. here it sizzles low on his skin, makes his lungs constrict on the first inhale, sting on the next. on the fourth inhale something breaks open, eases, and he rests, his skin frying under the suit. he lowers his masked head to the ground while the blood drums hotly in his middle ear. waiting. listening.
he tries to picture : red on red, and follows her heartpangs across the expanse of his radar. nothing’s happened yet, and yet, and yet. always waiting for the next blow. she must know all about that. he moves slow up into the full set of his shoulders, hands hanging open dumbly at his sides. ❝ Fate ? ❞ a word loaded as a pistol to the temple. maybe he’s smiling, maybe it’s a grimace, either way the air touches his teeth and he roils into the thick miasma of power. breathe. slow. something like a shrug. not that he exists in the same state, the same plane, the overwhelming weight of living with all that universe. ❝ I always thought it was kind of a cop-out. ❞

☽ let me go ahead and tell you, i’ll be very angry if you say you’re sorry. i’m not sorry.
the gore splattered across her face is not their own. the singe to the fingertips, though, is arguably the only possession libby has, nothing stolen or borrowed about the energy that storms beneath their skin. she crouches before wanda now, trembling with madness and with power that has only just been tapped, only just been triggered. in truth, the shake of the witch’s hands are partly borne of fear, too. i am filth, i am rage, i am combustible and endowed with great ire.
❝ i’m not sorry. ❞ if there was room for apology, it would taste like girlhood lost. it would feel as tangible as an empty room, her mother’s back as she left. but with that fleeting apology comes back ‘round the fury. their anger hides the worst of it: a metastasizing ache. libby lifts tear - blurry vision and a locked - tight jaw, cracking teeth, to @nexusbeing before them. ❝ i’m angry. ❞

˖ °. ASSASSIN’S APPRENTICE PROMPTS ⥽ ( ACCEPTING !
THE GOD IN YOU IS NOT A SINGULAR ENTITY, NOR IS HE A MONOLITHIC PRESENCE. he is a chorus of voices speaking in unison ━ beasts of olde congregating together within the pearlescence of the witch's form ( little witch; he supplicates, he growls, and he persists ) he, her mentor and she his unwilling pupil. conflict with self, with power bestowed, is what brings two opposed entities together. their sanctum of study is where this inner chaos materializes outwardly. the sprawl of open tomes and workings of spellwork thick in the air. at its apex is the conjurer of pandemonium herself in ascendance, the room warping and tilting towards her influence. IT IS AS EASY AS PULLING AT A FRAYING SEAM, AS SHE UNRAVELS THE REALITY AROUND HER. she was queen onto the realm of the metaphysical and zoya was the natural guardian for the internal intricacies of the mind by way of elements. if wanda is the sunbeam then she is that precision pane of glass ━ a focal point, an unwillingly amplification.
when the dragon's eye unfolds and exposes itself the choral tumult of her intrinsic mechanisms of thought invade all of the torrent's senses. she is dragged headlong into the crimson havoc of the dark holder's torment. before her hovering form she is brought to her knees. WHOSE DIVINITY WILL PROVE GREATER? OR SHALL WE KISS AND CONSUME HERE ( render me to bone and scale ) yet it was the sky serpent that held court over the arena of emotion. she wills herself into that ethereal state, somewhere away from the body but not far enough to leave it entirely. ❛ i can feel your anguish and i can sense your distress. ❜ how does one introduce themselves during an act of invasion? it is plainly placed ━ frighteningly placid. the telepathic link is far from a one way broadcast and then the voiceless reply… ❛ i didn’t mean to be seen like this. ❜ @nexusbeing shedding her cavernous resonance. she became so small suddenly then. THE PHENOMENON OF HER, THE IMMENSITY OF THE RESPLENDENCE OF BEING LEGION ONTO HERSELF. it is remarkable how the storm creature is able to hold her, fractures and fissures all strung together in this unknown territory of empathy.
❛ there is nothing that passes through you here that does not get back to me. ❜ which was to say she was actively doing herself harm by containing the other sorceress to this controlled environment. THERE IS NO CONCEIVABLE WAY TO HOLD ALL OF HER. NOT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME ❛ i'm not frightened of your mind wanda ━ it is vast but not unknowable to me. ❜ here is where the borders of their consciousness converged. YOU SEE NOW, IT IS NOT ONLY ME DISCOVERING YOU BUT YOU UNEARTHING ME. the dragon is so alive for a thing twice-dead. though with this desolation being by her side in this expanse, she knew she could see the rot just beneath the garden's flower beds. a girl gone and buried and the woman that stood in her place before the empyrean supplanter. ❛ but you will end up fracturing yourself further if you continue to resist. ❜
