When the crisis subsides, the staff takes a moment to relax and recuperate.

( Read more... )

Topaz faces her fears - and Marie-Ange. Conversations with MA are weird sometimes.

Fun Fact: Sam and Frito wrote this log in literally one night. They don't know how it happened.

( Being your test taster sounds like a noble way to die. Let’s do this. )

xp_bruiser

While making sure the cuts on Molly's back aren't a residual magic spell, Amanda makes an unsettling discovery.

( It was like looking into a freakish mirror. )

xp_topaz

No one is actually okay and everyone is surprisingly candid about that. Whole new world.

( Telling on me for my own since twenty-fifteen. )

xp_bruiser

Wade comes to check on Molly after the whole curse thing.

( I got the good drugs, Wademan. )

xp_topaz

One week (and some change) on, Topaz isn't coping well. Hope knows her too well.

Warning: Brief mention of suicide

( How about just a friend, Topaz? )

xp_topaz

Day two, and Topaz is already climbing the walls and trying to escape. Cecilia clearly has knack for catching witches going against medical advice.

( You have got to be kidding me, Topaz. )

xp_topaz

In which Topaz apologizes for ~~being awful~~ misdirected anger and trauma, and Kurt is far too kind.

( The five stages of living at Xavier's. )

xp_topaz

Topaz and Amanda talk. And finally, finally, progress is made.

( You're a horrible liar for a superspy. )

xp_topaz

Topaz wakes up.

( Not real, it's not real, it's not... )

xp_topaz

Team Magic - Clea, Stephen,Ty, and Illyana - take out the demon guards and the warding around the Destines hideout.

( Please don’t let these people be the ones I die with )

Spies don’t like it when you take something that belongs to them.

( He hides away and does his spooky voice, we blow up his fucking house. Seems fair. )

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Warning: Blood, gore

( Marie-Ange/Dom vs. Adam )

* * * * * *

Blood magic isn’t safe for anyone. Even - and perhaps especially - for the one using it.

Warning: Blood, gore

( Doug/Wanda vs. Grace )

Team Magic finds Topaz. To say she’s not in good shape is an understatement.

( So who wants to try lucky door number 5? )

Ty returns to a very bloody scene, and four very beat up people. It’s probably still a victory.

( Called for our uber. ETA in minutes )

xp_deadpool

Wade gets ambushed by a blood-covered Maya.

( Read more... )

xp_topaz

Grace decides to pay a visit.

( Well do it, ma petite. Allons-y. )

* * * * * * *

There’s only so much a person can take.

WARNING: Torture

( No. More of a cat person. )

* * * * * * *

Where’s the line between reality and fantasy?

( Like she needed her fingers anyways. )

* * * * * * *

Everyone’s use runs out eventually…

WARNING: Mention of rape

( I gave you names! )

* * * * * * *

Out of one illusion, into another

( Did you have a good nap, my little gem? )

* * * * * * *

Kind people have their limits

WARNING: Mention of self-harm.

( Always thought you were the nice one )

xp_daytripper

Maya sneaks into medlab to make sure Amanda isn't dead yet. Not when they have unfinished business.

( Just, you didn’t have to go get yourself hurt just to prove me wrong about the whole ‘keep us safe’ thing. )

xp_topaz

Topaz barely has time to start adjusting before rescue comes. Supposedly.

Warning: Emotional Manipulation

( Looks like I was wrong about you. Again )

* * * * * * *

Still reeling from the encounter with “Amanda”, Topaz isn’t particularly prepared for what the Destines have in store for her next.

( She’s not yours until we’re done with her. )

* * * * * * *

Alone.

( Nothing good happens when you have too much time to think. )

* * * * * * *

Alone again….

( You’re my brave little gem, aren’t you? )

* * * * * * *

The talk continues....

WARNING: Torture

( The names, Topaz. )

* * * * * * *

Something isn’t quite right...

Warning: Mild Self-Harm

( How long had it been? )

* * * * * * *

Help can come from the most unlikely of places.

Warning: Mild Self-Harm

( I'm sorry. I'm sorry about your brothers. I wish I could say I tried to stop him, but I never did. )

xp_daytripper

It's been all of five-ish hours since the news of Topaz' departure before Amanda tries to get up. Cecilia isn't having any of it.

( Hey, if it works, don't knock it. Better than tying me to the bed, at any rate. )

xp_topaz

Sleep doesn’t fix all problems. In Amanda’s case, sleep might have made everything worse.

( I have news, and I apologize, it is not at all good. )

xp_topaz

Sometimes there’s only one option left. And it’s usually the worst one.

( Sorry love, but you'll play any game I want from now on. Bloody they will be, I assure you. )

xp_topaz

Topaz goes to the med lab after hearing about Amanda. There’s no such thing as good news.

( Who's strong enough to take down Amanda in her own city? )

xp_daytripper

Amanda goes to London to meet with a contact. And finds herself facing Adam Destine instead.

Warning: Blood, slight gore.

( I just want the old man. The girl too, but I can make a deal for her. You can make this easy. )
