"What does this have to do with me Fortune?" Cassie says quietly, "I am just human..engineered and built in a lab, but human none the less. What do I need to know of your kind's history?"

"What does this have to do with me Fortune?" Cassie says quietly, "I am just human..engineered and built in a lab, but human none the less. What do I need to know of your kind's history?"

“You are mortal, but you are from human, you have lies in your head. Lies are anathema to me; they cut through the fiber of my being. You are a synthetic being, you were designed but the blueprint is not what you believe… the future you know is false. You are a tool for revenge, created out of spite,” Fortune replies, his voice reverberating through her body.

Fortune looms over her like a giant, she seems so tiny next to this looming cosmic entity. It speaks, “Now see…”

Cassie sees Hope standing on a barren world, a dark robed figure appears behind her and stabs her with a curved blade that pierces her breast… she collapses. Time passes and Overseer finds her, she cannot hear but she can see as he brings Hope’s limp form before a gathering of Eternals… but they do nothing for her.

In his rage, Overseer leaves the gathering. Time and space fold and Cassie can see the cosmic entity caring for Hope, but around him are beings… Chrono is there among them, and she offers to comfort him… but he spurns her and casts her out.

And then it begins… an enraged being of cosmic power turns his power and his right to bring order and law to a chaotic universe on his peers. The first war begins…

Fortune speaks still looming over Cassie, “What do you see?”

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"I see that Overseer was manipulated into his current course.." she looks to Fortune. "And if you're so .. adverse to lies and misdirection how about cutting to the chase. If I'm not human..and what choas told me was a lie. WHAT IS THE TRUTH!"

"I see that Overseer was manipulated into his current course.." she looks to Fortune. "And if you're so .. adverse to lies and misdirection how about cutting to the chase. If I'm not human..and what choas told me was a lie. WHAT IS THE TRUTH!"

“The truth,” She hears Yoshi voice behind her, while Fortune looms over her, “The truth is that you are the forced reincarnation of Hope. Inside of you is the power to destroy Overseer… but you also have the gift to set right what has been wrong. But only you can find that path.”

“You are right to not trust the Red Witch, but not because she will betray you, but because you have endless possibility. You have been manipulated in a grand game of subtle moves and feints. You have been lied to, the truth obscured to keep you on the path to destroy everything… everything you know is a lie,” Yoshi replies putting a hand on her shoulder.

“The face of the true enemy remains hidden, but the truth is there. There is price for this knowledge, but do not fear, because I will pay it for you. You have always strove for a better way… this is because you know inside there is a better way…”

“What do you see?” Fortune repeats.

"Is it really you?" Cassie asks turning to face the speedster. She savors his touch for a moment before turning to Fortune.

"I see the chance for healing, and renewal." She thinks of the figure who had killed Hope in the vision. "And I see the chance for justice. I think it is safe to say.. that I can see.. Hope in the outcome."

Anika frowns as Tommy says Kelly's injuries are mostly spiritual. "I know what to do," keeping the thought to herself. "And then we're taking care of Red Witch. I don't care who she thinks she is, she's not getting away with this...not to mention she's probably got Cassie now." Her frown becomes a grimace, and she nearly forgets that she needs to concentrate on the portal. She refocuses before it fades out, silently chastising herself for not paying attention to the problem at hand.

Fortune replies, “Then you have seen enough for now.”

“See you on the flipside babe,” Yoshi kisses her forehead… then Cassie wakes up lying on the floor.

Flashfire looks down at her quizzically, “Oh you are alive… did you have a nice nap?”

Nice enough, and better than the company I had upon waking." Cassie says as she returns to a sitting/lotus position. "I wonder though, what your mistress hopes to get out of this. The truth would do less than anything before in making me an ally."

“I am not looking to make you an ally. But you have a vested interest in stopping Overseer, and I decided that giving you a small belief that you can survive may give you some hope?” The Red Witch appears.

She holds out her hand and fragments of the crystal flow into her palm. She smiles, “Besides now I have something useful to me, a sacrifice freely given. You are free to go; the gift is paid in full.”

Sanctuary Portal

Tommy replies to Karen and Anika, “Kelly is hurt but she will recover. The injuries I fear most are the “spiritual” scars I suppose. I have no idea what to do about those… let alone the emotional ones… she has been through the meat grinder. If we lose her mother, I fear we will lose Kelly as well. We need to save Bishop as well… it’s important.”

Karen looks worriedly at Kelly, just nodding quietly as Tommy explains, "Bishop is with Ryan, Gilden and Tina ... and Mark now too I guess. They should be able to handle Legion ... right? I really hope that device of yours works... It's like she attracts bad luck... M-maybe you should get her to a safe place before everything here goes boom?" she suggests looking at Tommy and Mr. Smith, If there's still such a place... she adds to herself.

She notices the portal shimmer for a moment, she places a hand on Anika's shoulder and whispers, "We'll get them back from her, I know we will..."
