Issue 24: Blink of an eye

[kurff]

"Has to be something." She asked to no one in particular, "Something or someone has to be a target. This sort of attack doesn't have real target. Like its a distraction or an attack to draw out someone. a name or event might be a target or a clue we missed. the lack of any real objective to this is bothering me...Like herding animals to the slaughter..What exactly was your missing X-men working on?"

[dakota]

Lorna huffed," I don't know what Alex was working on. He wouldn't tell me."

"Stir the pot a little more." Cannonball said over Blink's shoulder

"I have it!" Beast said off to the side," There is a pattern. The next pairing should appear here." He pointed to a small park near the center of town.

"I'm sorry Lorna..I just want to find my father and see he's safe..If he isn't see someone will be dead." Blink apologized.

Magneto always told her 'It is what is not said or how what is said that is important.' On the first with the Exiles mission where they were sent to an earth to a save the leader of the mutants. they saved Xavier when it should have been Magneto. Turned out that Xavier on that earth killed a lot of people out of rage and was insane with revenge against Flatscans. He was freed all because she and the Exiles could not read what was not said. After that she tried to be better at listening and hearing the quiet voices that were hidden. Especially after it cost the exiles the life of a child she took care of. The memory of the grown child of magneto sacrificing himself to save a world they would never see stung for a lot reasons. It was better to put on a poker face and remember the hero for who he was..and should have been.

"Is it always like a part of the Twilight movies around here?" whispering back to cannonball so the others could not hear. standing up she opened a portal.

"Unless you have an objection to teleporting. Can we do this and take them alive? A dead tiger tells no tales. I'll get portal up. perhaps we should keep someone here at the blackbird incase we need to get out of town quickly? If you're coming go through." she asked walking to the opened portal and jumped through. There was no way she was going to miss this chance.

[dakota]

"Well, nobody sparkles if that is what you mean, but there are a few that could doubler for bloodsuckers." Sam replied with a smirk.

Cyclops nodded, Yes Blink, your portals are the best solution. Let's go."

Beast added, " The Blackbird has an incredibly short prep time, and is already warmed up so there is no need. But I can wait here to keep the getaway car running, so to speak."

The open portal was large enough to step through. It should remain open long enough for any others to follow even if Blink goes through. After setting it up Blink went through with a pair of crystals drawn.

[dakota]

On the other side Blink walked into a brawl, with the two Creeds almost on top of her portal as she appeared.

Now, to stun them and let Cyclops knock them over. Blink takes aim and slings two darts, keep an action ready to dodge. Any sabretooth, no matter the reality has teeth that hurt and she was not about to be the target. With perfect grace she launches the pins. Readying to dodge is Cyclops was unable to take them down.

Creed 2 1d20+10

The Victor furthest from Blink barely managed to swat Blink's thrown dart aside and looked at her in surprise, " Clarice?" he said before being clobbered by a girder flung at him by Polaris while Scott caught him with an optic blast.

At the same time, the closer Creed snarled and turned on Blink, 1d20+7 his claws stabbing upwards for her abdomen to eviserate her and narrowly missing, but close enough Cannonball swooped in to pull Blink clear and loop up out of Sabertooth's reach.

"Thanks for the save and nice timing. Drop me near the one Furthest from me that Scott and Lorna are on I thinks that is my victor. Try and get us up enough for them to get a clean shot the near us now" she pointed to the one that called her name. Once on the ground rushed to the one that called her name. Ready to dodge and throw a pin if needed to assist Cyclops or Polaris.

"Cyclops Lorna...Lets switch targets..while the switchings good." she called hoping she was right. If so that would mean only on enemy on the field. Her hope was also that the Cyclops and Polaris would have a good surprise hit on the other sabretooth.
Dodge:1d20+9
Alternate targets
(if needed) Aimed throw at the other Victor: 1d20+4
(If needed) Aimed throw at ally if one of them gets in trouble to teleport them to safety:

[dakota]

Even as Blink called the audible, the Creed she thought was hers slammed backwards through a brick wall, clearly from Lorna's magnetic control. "Sorry Blink, this one already has a dance partner."

Intentions:
1) Protect her sabertooth and not hurt the X-men.
2) if said X-men are a threat to her or her sabertooth teleport out. (Last resort)
Initative: 1d20+2

Cannonball push back this Victor I need to save my father before your friends kill him and I'm forced to do something I don't want too." then teleported Blink teleported herself between her Creed and the X-men and put a portal up to seperate them.

"Scott, Lorna, Off him NOW!! He dies or as much as gets a scratch...you are going to pay..DEARLY. Now switch partners." There was no way she was going to let them kill him. If they did they wolud die....painfully. This bitch was pissing her off and Blink would have no problem teleporting her in half or into earth in orbit and enjoying it....almost. Clearly this Realities/Dimensions X-men were not on her friends list now.

If the X-men even continued to threaten her or Creed she would teleport herself and the Creed she knew to safety. The socalled X-Men could find havok on their own with that Psycho bitch Polaris if they wanted too. With friends like them who needs enemies? she thought to herself. Still if there was any good it was in Beast, Cyclops and Cannonball and for their sake she would restrain the urge to make Polaris a foot shorter.

[dakota]

Scott stopped and turned to Blink, even with his visor he seemed surpriesd as he had stopped already, but it was Polaris that turned to Clarice and glared at her, " We can discuss this later." She then refocused on the other Sabertooth would was sparring with Psylocke already. That one seemed wilder and more out of control than she had ever seen her father, but Betsy was having no problem staying outof his reach.

Blink, you want me to stand down too?" Sam asked, slowing a bit as he circled.

"if you can wait might need your help a sec, Cannonball. Psylocke, Cyclops and Polaris should be fine for a moment or two. I need know for sure this the real victor creed and not the fur collared counter part native to these parts." Blink requested

"Sabertooth, is that you? or do we need find Wild child around here to throw at someone?" she grinned, "There on our side. though I have to admit I sort of miss the Fearless leader we had back at home. even if he was pain sometimes." she shrugged. There were a few spots that should cause certain responses or get him to say certain names that would help her ID him quickly. Once she confirms its her Creed Blink will assist the X-Men.

[dakota]

Sam nodded before looping around to land in front the puzzled looking Sabertooth. "Clarice? What are you doing here?"

Before she could answer, another portal opened behind her father and another Creed appeared behind him and the new arrival seized the distraction and slashed out at her Victor's back, causing him to cry out and drop to his knees from the ambush. The new arrival, a much more feral Creed merely snarled loudly before pouncing on the downed Victor before he could react, but never touched him before being bludgeoned backwards by Cannonball flying into him and knocking the attacking Creed clear.

"Nice play, CB. Regroup with the rest of the X-men on the field soon as I Teleport My self and this 'grumpy, old' man to a safe spot where he won't be hit by 'friendly fire'." she nodded with, "I could get used to having you around." she smiled at CB and ported to the blackbird parrying if needed to to defend.
