164 Fleur, Member of The Externals?
All of us, after calming the hulk down and releasing banner from his rage, retired to the Stark Tower, Fleur following after us at my invitation as i felt something unique about her. She was usually a side character of Harry Potter that was doted on by many people, myself included.
She had cleaned her outfit along the way with her tergeo spell, her wand whisking in her hand as she did so. Everyone else was a little bit perturbed by the woman's capabilities, only me and Loki looking on with ridicule in our minds. Loki and me had in fact looked at each other and rolled our eyes at the display from the woman.
Fleur spoke some more French, asking where we were; this is as we were walking into Stark Tower. Knowing that it'd be really annoying to have them all not understand her I waved my right hand a rune appearing above it in a flash, and said rune latching onto her throat moments later as her words translated to English.
She was disturbed by the quickness, ease and wandless nature of my magic but she quickly decided to shelve the problem for later as she asked her question again. I was a little stunned at her casualness with me placing magic on her, i too decided to shelve it for later however as she asked her question again.
"Where are we going?" (Fleur)
"My tower, Stark Tower." (Tony)
"We know its ugly, just bear with it..." (Cap)
"Hey! It is not ugly! What is truly ugly is the aesthetics of your suit!" (Tony)
"Take that back!" (Cap)
I facepalmed as I quickly interceded for them, not trusting them to fully get the idea across to her.
"I wanted to speak with you about why your here and also catch up on the Wizarding World, its been a while since I've checked in."
"Is that it? No interrogations?"
"Why would i interrogate you... Or, perhaps you were doing something that we would find dangerous, problematic or possibly threatening?"
She grew a little pale at that line of questioning as she nervously adjusted her golden locks and fidgeted her fingers slightly. My eyebrows rose at the actions, my senses telling me that she was hiding some organisation or something, potentially even the ones who were behind the Hellfire Club.
It was at this moment that from the corner of my eyes i saw a woman dressed completely in black, the material very BDSM style but adjusted to a long flowing dress. The woman was strikingly stunning in appearance and bearing as her jawline was heart shaped and served to amplify her lips and eyes' appearance. Her eyes were an Emerald green that glowed whenever light touched them, her lips contrasting the greenness of her eyes with how lusciously red and sumptuous they were. She was walking in our direction.
'Selene Gallio... How fortunate that i meet her just when i was wondering who could be sponsoring the Hellfire Club. The Externals huh?'
Fleur had not noticed Selene yet and was squirming under the gazes of the group as Selene calmly strutted over to us all. Tony and Cap had forgotten their argument and had focused on me and Fleur, Thor, Nat and Clint watching over Tony and Cap as they were just at each other's throats moments beforehand.
"Don't worry Fleur... I know, so don't stress."
She looked up at me in a panic and worry before she noticed Selene striding over, the shadows gathering behind the woman. With an anxious twitch she stepped back and tried to hide behind me, the rest of the team turning in the direction of both of our stares. Loki had been eyeing Selene from the moment we had entered as game recognised game, so to speak... Thus he was the first person to summon his daggers and holster them in his sleeves for easy retrieval if the situation required.
Knowing that this could easily lead to conflict if i did not intercede i stepped forward and matched Selene's presence, deploying my Anima Mundi into the space and giving it as much regality as i could supply it. The atmosphere in the room switched to a stand-off aura as my force of personality clashed with hers as well. I had felt in the recent past that very few beings could challenge me in Marvel, however, it seemed i was wrong as Selene was equally matching my charisma and force of personality.
"My, my, little Fleur, it seem you have found some companions to join you in your shenanigans. I wonder if they would taste good? No matter, Fleur, come with me."
Selene's voice was as velvety and sweet as honey and silk. Every syllable slid off of her tongue like melting ice on a hot stove. If i wasn't covered in my Anima Mundi i would have definitely felt a tingle down my spine from the sexiness of this woman. She was very much similar to Hela but was much more evil and dark, her every step being coated in shadow and darkness. Seductress. That was the single word that entered my mind as i looked at her, smelt her, listened to her and felt her aura with my Anima Mundi. She was ancient as far as my knowledge told me and she was usually very evil... No where near my Progenitor Vampire's level though.
Selene's aura began to climb higher as Fleur hid behind me refusing to come any closer, the atmosphere turning dark and morbid as the lighting in the lobby began to fade somewhat, even the lights of the elevators blinking out.
I had two options here. Fight fire with fire, or choose the bane to her power, the yin to her yang... I felt that the Yin Yang state would represent me a lot more but at this moment i was kind of over her thinking she's the most badass in the room. My vision slowly began to take on a bloody hue as my True Evil began to leak a fraction of he aura into my Anima Mundi. Reactively i took my Anima Mundi away from those in my party and contested her aura fully. Just as I did that my placid neutral aura switched to a dark crimson malevolent one, the imagery of blood dripping being prominent amongst those that could see or feel the aura. If one were to look at the aura they would see a literal sea of blood and gore with a singular eldritch eye taking up the 'space' of the imagery.
Selene's Aura retreated a lot as her hundreds of thousands of kills, maybe even millions, could hardly compare to the literal trillions of wasted lives and litres of blood that represented my tie to evil. Her shadow reviled the presence of my bloody aura as it swept behind its user as if for protection from any future combat. This entire exchange made Selene's eyes widen and the narrow moments later as she attempted to combat my aura, failing at every turn as when my aura looked like it was about to give out more blood would flow from the eye in the 'sky'.
"Now, now, Selene... Maybe you should calm down before we get to a stage where we trade blows."
"You! How do you know my name? We have never met before!"
"Calm down Selene, perhaps we should use our words like good adults, unless you would like to prove yourself a child. Puella stultissima, if you will."
"Bitch!"
