Like death, found in friend, and the edge of suspend.

WHO: The doomed Skrulls and YOU!
WHERE: Middle of Times Square.
WHEN: February 24th at 9PM EST.
WARNINGS: Violence, death and betrayal.
SUMMARY: Their time may be up, but they are not going down without a fight.
FORMAT: Anything goes.



[The streets are slick with rain. N'cho had rounded his compatriots to this place, this broken space of bright lights and human noises. They're ready, they're prepared. They know they're taking their last breaths. N'icsor's betrayal had ensured that this would be their last stand, this would be their moment of glory.

He still loved them. Didn't he?

The burning neon clock above read three minutes to nine. Rain pelted the asphalt, civilians shouted and laughed, all oblivious to the theatre unfolding.

The Skrulls knew the imports were watching, waiting. Coming. They knew they had only had each other now.

I don't know anything else! They-- Vulcanus took them, but I don't know why!

[She floats down, holding her hand out. Her nails have grown longer, and the skin is tinged a distinctly non-human green. Her ears have also taken on a slightly elven shape. It's pretty obvious it's taking most of her concentration to maintain Pietro's form, even if its a mutated version thereof.]

Please, Angie, you have to believe me. They said we had to help them.

Where did Vulcanus take them? Tell me where they took him!

[Angelica's eyes narrow, expression racked with sorrow and rage. She wanted to sympathize with this creature-- no, this person. But she'd kidnapped Pietro, she'd aided in the murder of countless civilians. She just gone along with Vulcanus, probably without batting an eye. Angelica was a forgiving person, but she couldn't let that stand. Not when it was personal like this. Not where Pietro was concerned.

She finally takes the Skrull's hand, grasping her wrist tightly, heat in the air surging around them in a flare of warning.]


I need to know where they are, do you understand? Tell me... [She trails off, clearing her throat in an attempt to regain her nerve.] Tell me, and I promise you, you'll feel nothing.

I don't know any more. I'm sorry, Angelica. [Pietro-- Or rather X'ylia's brow furrows more, as her eyes glance downward at their linked hands. She seems genuinely contrite about the whole thing.]

I like Earth, mostly. And I like you, and Leopold, and Calvin. You should know that, I think.

[Angelica has to turn her gaze away too, squeezing X'ylia's hand in an almost comforting way before she leans in to kiss the girl's cheek. It shouldn't be this way, but it must. This is how it has to end.]

I know. I know you did.

[And with that, Angelica sends out a burst of microwaves directed to X'ylia. The energy won't hurt her, she probably won't notice a thing, but she has only moments left to live.]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It won't hurt, I promise.
