Siege Perilous Day 7 - Jean and Kevin look to hire the Cypher to help with the search for the Darkhold and Illyana Rasputin. It’s touch and go for a while.

( When it comes down to it, all you are is your reputation. We don't want to damage that. )

The HFC representatives - Topaz and Clea - meet with the Cypher to make a deal. He rejects their first offer.

TW: sexual references

( I'm sure your services don't come cheap, but our employers are more than happy to pay whatever price you name. )

After Clea leaves, Topaz lays a new deal on the table.

( Of course, it would mean breaking certain ties. )

Siege Perilous Day 8 - Remy and Artie discuss another seemingly unrelated problem with Marrow of the Morlocks.

( Morlocks are missing. Too many, without saying where they are going or if they are coming back. Something is wrong. )

( I mean, like... the simplest explanation is usually right or whatever. )

Kevin and Clea

( Were you in fetish gear taking orders from the Hellfire Club? )

Jubilee and Doug.

Artie and Amanda.

( He'd just remembered a lifetime. )

Marie-Ange and Topaz.

Following the battle and the defeat of Roma, there a moment of realisation.

( I doubt it is very comforting after what you’ve seen, but you never chose to be part of what the Phoenix did when it used you. )

Siege Perilous Day 13 - Back to current time, Emma makes her move against Selene.

( Everyone paid a different price. )

During the battle, Felicia, North and Gabriel decide discretion is the better option than staying around and being killed by crazy magic users and vengeful telepaths.

( No, I already told you, no shooting him, I need him. )

There’s still two magic users left to go and Adam has his hands full dealing with Topaz and Clea.

( Flank. Let him feel what dread really is. )

The final battle - Jean vs Selene. And beyond.

TW: death

( The world had ended for Jean Grey this night. It seemed only right for her to do the same to the one who did it. )

( That woman… had things to live for. People… worth fighting for. )

TW: Character death

( I don't want this either, but the first lesson I learned was that personal isn't the same as important. )

xp_daytripper

Siege Perilous Day 13 - X-Force’s desperate attempt to halt the ritual starts with a sniper.

( Es wird alles gut. )

( I think I’m ready to let you go now. Be free old man. )

( Let's go in hard and put the fear of whatever fuzzy Wiccan deity they worship into them. )
