Wanda starts to feel the affects of having the entire history of the Clan dropped into her head in one go. Or, well, she would if she was completely conscious. Nathan finds her in the midst of some late night writings and it takes a bit to shake her lose.

( ~It must be written~ )

Doug, Marie-Ange and Jubilee get a surprise visitor. Or maybe not so much of a surprise to at least two of them.

( By the pricking of my thumbs... )

***

Amanda's turn. Things aren't always as you expect them to be.

( Something wicked this way comes. )

***

On the way out, Marie-Ange catches Remy, and gives him a gift.

( If you can look into the seeds of time/ And say which grain will grow and which will not. )

Current Mood: indescribable

It's a strange time to meet new people, but Amanda manages it. Out for some fresh air she bumps into someone who understands the whole draining others concept.

( You make a mistake, only thing to do is suck up an' get on with it. )

Current Mood: curious

After the events of the Hellfire Club, Kylun finds himself in need of someone to talk to, and goes in search of Wanda; in a stroke of good luck, he catches her on the way up to her room from the medlab. A fairly rambly conversation takes place, which results in Kylun getting hit with a pillow.

( If I say 'If that was the short version...' would you throw your tea at me? )

Jubilee, needing to talk about what's happened, knocks on Nathan's door. He's the first to hear that she's made the decision to take a different path in life - for now, at least. She finds out that Nathan is doing some reassessing, too.

( Roads diverging. )

Pete finally brings Amanda back to the mansion after taking care of Selene and it's Moira who ends up giving her the expected check up. It's an emotional scene.

Current Mood: distressed

On the way back from leaving Selene at the bottom of the Atlantic, Pete and Amanda not-talk.

( You think we've earned the easy way out? )

One last confrontation.

( You didn't cross de line. Dat means everything else is forgivable. )

( So she opened her mind to the flames. )

War has its casualties. The only question is, who will it be? Amanda tries one last Healing.

( The one thing about sacrifice is that it's clean. It's hard, but it's right. )

Alison gets the message she's been waiting for.

( Ground Zero )

***

At the Hellfire Club, the Inner Circle gathers to induct its newest member.

( Whatever you do: don't screw this up. )

***

At the mansion a very specialised team is briefed.

( You picked a good night to reappear. )

***

The ceremony completed, Amanda is faced with her first task as Black Knight.

( I might as well make the best of this little turn of events… )

***

The team infiltrates the Hellfire Club... with a little insider help.

( I promise to tell you all about it when we get back home? )

***

In the ceremonial chamber, Amanda's pride is definitely suffering a fall.

( Do you hate me or something? )

***

Alison and Nathan run into some opposition - none other than the Black King himself. And he's not pleased with his visitors.

( First blood to you... last to me. )

***

Coming down to the wire... Whilst Nathan is occupied with Shaw, Alison arrives just in the nick of time, but things don't go all her way.

( You should know that black isn't really your colour. )

Jubilee leaves the mansion to go visit her boyfriend in New York. The best laid plans of mice and X-Men...

( Because, if you couldn't make lamearse jokes in the middle of a crisis, when could you make them? )

Coincidence can be a real bitch - Angelo happens upon Amanda and her minders whilst out shopping and there's a brief discussion. None of which Angelo will remember for a few days.

( Please tell me this is one of those bastard coincidences that follow me around and you haven't been wandering all over New York looking for me, )

Current Mood: lonely

Remy leaves the mansion to find out if his guess about Amanda's whereabouts is correct. If he is right, the chances are he won't sethe next morning.

( Walking Away )

Remy and Pete meet for the first time since Hong Kong, and this time, the fight is verbal, but no less deadly.

( Into The Lion's Den )

Remy and Amanda finally meet again. They're conversation is cut short by Heinrich, but not before Remy is able to make her finally ask some questions of herself.

( Opening The Door )

Following this post, Remy comes up to see Lorna as she asked. She tries to talk him out of going after Amanda but fails.

Remy ends up talking to Moira at night in her lab about Amanda.

( You ever been a whore, Moira? )

As arranged in these emails, Amanda comes by Manuel's room. There's talk, and tea, and more attempts to reach out that don't always miss the mark.

( Perhaps she was setting herself to be hurt again. )

Current Mood: confused

Manny and Amanda have dinner together down in the Dining Room. They talk about the directions their lives are talking of late. Funny how they always manage to say just enough of the right things to keep all the wrong things from bursting out, isn't it?

( I say all the right things at exactly the right time / but I mean nothing to you and I don't know why. )

Current Mood: tired

Attempting that quiet dinner Manuel asked for, Amanda and Manuel go out. In the end, nothing more is resolved. It's all secrets and lies and old, old mistakes.

( I do feel now/ From the point where all is broken/ It relieves me somehow. )
