Illyana

Illyana smiled slightly. “If you were going to keep every piece of paper I sketched on there would be almost nothing else in this house” if there was a pen, marker or pencil in her hand and something to draw on around, chances are Illyana sketched on it. “Not to mention all the jeans I drew on when I got bored in class” she spent maybe half or more of her time in class drawing on the legs of pants if she’d run out of paper. “I don’t think I had a single pair of jeans that I hadn’t drawn on back then.”

“I could always just use magic to grow them out faster” Illyana joked, well... she was mostly joking. “Or just stay in Limbo while they grow out, though if I stay there that long-” she sighed before turning away from the mirror and back to Zatanna. “I’m not sure I’d come back.”

"What, never seen a demon before?"  Illyana questioned as she pulled her sword out of the now very dead demon on the ground. She realized most people weren't used to seeing demons. There had been an alien invasion so people weren't often surprised by them anymore but demons on earth still wasn't a very common occurrence. She changed back from her demon form, making her sword disappear as she turned to face Colleen. "Demons are very common where I grew up."

(✉️ ➡️ Ric +group): together, or at least at first (✉️ ➡️ Ric +group): I lost track of you... I want to say midnight (✉️ ➡️ Ric +group): hold on let me ask Jade

Illyana quickly turned towards Maddie and sure enough there was a demon right behind her. She used her magic to send the creature a few feet backwards and away from Maddie. "Well they definitely know we're here now" they being the four demons she could sense in the abandoned building. There had been an influx of demons on earth lately and Illyana had no idea why, she'd need to look into it once she'd dealt with the most pressing concerns of so many demons on earth. "Last chance to back out and leave" Illyana told Maddie with a slight grin as she summoned her soulsword, providing some much needed light into the place.

Illyana always distanced herself from people, even Jean who was the only telepath she kept her shield down for. Even Katya who she’d shared a room and grew up with. The distance was less with them but it was still there, and while Illyana had tried to remove the distance some part of her was afraid to do it. There were several reasons for that but in the end it always seemed to come back to Limbo and Belasco. Belasco had taught her that love was conditional, that it could so easily be taken away and while she tried so hard not to believe that... she hadn’t quite managed to unlearn that yet.

“No” her answer was instant because it was something she’d thought about a lot since her resurrection and she always came back to that if she had to, she would have made the same choice a thousand times over. “When I first came back I did consider that it might have been different if Katya hadn’t been there but... the outcome would have been similar except I believe it would have happened quicker and I’m not sure I would have been able to take the demon with me.” In fact, Katya being there that day, was the only reason she kept fighting. No matter how tired she was, how much her lungs burned with each breath, how much pain she was in she kept fighting. She refused to stop until she could ensure Katya was safe.

Illyana’s armor barely had time to cover her upper body before she was thrown through a wall and halfway through the one across the room on the other side. She managed to semi land on her feet, catching herself with one hand on the floor, narrowly dodging the pieces of ceiling that came crashing down from the impact. She slowly got to her feet, the armor had fortunately protected her from any major injuries but she could hear the giant monster who’d thrown her through the wall approaching. Fortunately he wasn’t as fast as someone being thrown through the air. Jade teleported in beside her and rushed over to Illyana. “I’m fine” Illy told her before Jade could say anything. 

“Did it anywhere in this spell you wanted to try mention big and ugly who’s apparently resistant to my magic?” Illyana asked, straightening up as the footsteps of the demon grew closer. “No, but I told you pronunciation was important” Jade replied. “And I told you Latin was not my forte” she preferred Demonic Script or Russian when it came to her spells. “Evidently“ Jade commented as the monster became visible through the hole in the wall. Which he stepped through and proceeded to tear down more of the wall. “I can send it back but you’ll have to buy me some time.” Illyana sighed.

“Buy you some time, sure... no problem” Illyana muttered as she shifted into her demon form and allowed the Eldritch armor to cover the rest of her body. “He’s only two feet taller than me with a battle axe the same size as me” she was talking to herself as Jade had moved a few feet away to begin the spell to send the demon back. The mutant summoned her sword and charged him, he might be resistant to her magic but she could still use her sword and the enhanced strength from her armor. How long she’d be able to hold him back she wasn’t sure, hopefully long enough for Jade to finish the spell to send him back though. 

He was stronger than her so Illyana had to use her superior agility in order to avoid any direct hits. She was doing pretty well in avoiding his attacks until he managed to hit her with the side of his axe and once again send her flying, this time through the rest of the wall which had broken her fall earlier. He then turned his attention towards Jade, who was still in the process of sending him back. She tried to hurry with the spell as the demon approached her but it wasn’t fast enough and soon he was in range to swing his axe down towards her.

Illyana had just recovered from the daze of being thrown through a wall for the second time in less than twenty minutes. She teleported in front of Jade and raised her sword to block the axe just in time, the blade only just getting close to pierce an inch into shoulder, which Illy did her best to ignore. Her feet were literally digging into the ground as she used all her strength to keep the axe from going further into her shoulder. “Not to rush you but that spell would be nice sometime soon” Illyana spoke through gritted teeth.

[📱to Katya ] what? [📱to Katya ] I mean... depends? [📱to Katya ] like what’s the criteria? [📱to Katya ] who would win in a fight? [📱to Katya ] who’s scarier? [📱to Katya ] who’s hotter? [📱to Katya ] probably pirates anyway though

“Venmo?” Illyana asked, a confused frown on her face, though she quickly shook it off, it wasn’t what she was here for. “Fair question I suppose” she’d never been too forthcoming about Limbo or anything to do with the dimension, but it was mostly because people didn’t ask, not like Jean had. She had been unsure about Jean coming along for this though. Everything she created in Limbo was corrupted by dark magic, she’d never figured out how to restore the lands in the dimension so that wouldn’t happen. She wasn’t sure she wanted Jean to see that, but after what Jean had done to help Illyana against Belasco, giving her some answers to the questions she’d asked about the dimension was the least she could do. “You asked about Limbo and it’s easier to show you, and the new citadel has been built so I figure now is a good time as any” she shrugged. “You don’t have to but if you’re still curious...” she trailed off as she opened a stepping disk to take them to Limbo.

Illyana continued to flip through the sketchbook until she came to the last drawing. It was unfinished, not the only unfinished drawing in this particular sketchbook but unlike the others this one had a hard line going through most of the drawing. She’d been working on this specific drawing when she had a feeling which caused a reaction that had her hand moving unwilling across the page. Not long after she had, along with Katya, investigated what had caused the feeling, which in the end had resulted in Illyana’s death. “I think maybe you’re reading a little too much into meaningless sketches” she commented as she traced the lines of the drawing for a second. They were of course more than meaningless sketches, it was her way of expressing herself and her feelings when she couldn’t use words to do it, but Illyana would deny they were anything more.

Walking over to the mirror in the room she tossed the sketchbook into a pile of other things she wasn’t bringing with her when she moved. She ran her hand through her hair a few times. Zatanna had probably figured out Illyana was moving by now, she should probably still actually tell her that. Instead she kept running her fingers through her hair, “do you think I should cut my bangs again?” Deflecting and avoiding instead of just saying what she wanted to. “I kinda miss them.”

“You know of my father- adoptive father?” Illyana questioned, maybe the power she was sensing from here wasn’t just from the Limbo artifact. “Belasco is dead, besides he has not ruled Limbo for over a decade” not since she took the throne from him and forced him to flee Limbo. “Only if it needs to be” she answered, changing into her demon for as she took a step closer to him. She then summoned her soulsword and the Eldritch armor appeared with it, covering her left arm.

ikarisambrose​:

“You’re right, I’m not but this object doesn’t originate from Earth, it’s from a dimension called Limbo, also known as Otherplace” Illyana explained, she could use her powers to take it from him but she’d only do that as a last resort. “I am the current ruler of Limbo meaning it belongs to me” the fact that it had been so long on Earth and no one had gotten hurt was a miracle, she supposed she had the fact that it was buried to thank for that. “It’s dangerous as long as it stays on earth, I’m here to take it back to where it belongs” her eyes now glowing white as she took a step towards him. “It’s in the best interest of everyone if you give it to me.”

ikarisambrose​:

“Not a thief” Illyana replied as she looked around the place. She could sense a power in the room and she wasn’t entirely sure it was all from the artifact. “After all, I can’t steal that which belongs to me now can I?” She said, looking at him and the statue in his hand. “You and whoever else has touched it is lucky it’s dormant right now” because it was dangerous and it had no business being on earth. “I’d suggest you give it to me before someone activates it, by accident or on purpose.”
