Voices in my head
"Will you all please be quiet so that I can read, please?" Sindella said, grabbing a hold of her head, massaging her temples.

Ever since Superman's death, they had gotten louder. The dead. Over the years, Sindella had grown used to "hearing voices" in her head. She was normally pretty good at tuning them out when she wanted to, too. But lately...she was having a harder time with it.

"My wife...I never got to tell my wife how much she really meant to me. Do you think she knows that I love her?"

"We never found my son's teddy bear...he won't be able to sleep without it. Oh he must be so scared..."

"Please. Please stop!" Sindella's hands covered her ears, though she knew it wouldn't help much. "I can't think!"

There was still the roar of voices.

And then..suddenly it stopped.

Though something didn't feel quite right about it.

Sindella reached out for the one voice that she always knew that she could rely on.

"Grandpa John? Are you there? Can we talk?"

Nothing.

"Anyone? Hello?"

Something was wrong. She could feel it.

	Zachary Zatara has seen a lot. Part of the family business. Even he is stopped in his tracks for a moment though. (LOVE) " " His lips move, but the sound doesn't come just yet. His fists clench and his body starts to shake as his pupils contract. (RAGE) (GREED) "ERIFLLEH!" He breathes a torrent of flame across the two undead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sindella just stood there, frozen in terror. "Grandpa John?" (LOVE) (FEAR) "But...but you're dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That isn't your grandfather, Sindella," Victoria said, reflexively putting herself in front of the girl. "It's not even properly undead." She brought up a hand and unleashed a blast of mystic power at John Zatara. ~~(WILL)~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The hellfire blast connected and Mia screamed, turning into a pile of ash. Only to have her body reconstruct a few moments later. "And here I thought you loved me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The second blast tore through Zatara moments after the hellfire, causing him to take a few moments longer to reassemble. Strange, however. Anyone paying careful attention would have noticed he didn't quite seem to see where it had come from. ""Was that supposed to be your best shot? Did you ever even listen to me at all?"

	Another volley of fire engulfs the two. "Sindella, Craft... RUN." Zach pants heavily, the hellfire already taking a toll. "Citcra sdniw, ezies eht daednu!" The bitterly cold air and surrounding snow pour down on the mockeries of his loved ones. "Whoever crafted these nightmares... they die.." (RAGE) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allednis_arataz 2011-02-10 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Sindella didn't need to be told twice. She ran. (FEAR) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	just_a_stranger 2011-02-10 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"Get inside, Sindella," Victoria said, calmly. "They will protect you." She, however, did not run. "Did you think I would let you do something so foolish alone, Zachary?" (WILL) (COMPASSION) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2011-02-10 03:09 am UTC (link)
	After being engulfed by hellfire, Mia was buried under the snow. Her body began to reconstruct and she started to dig herself out. Slowly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Em diova ece dna wons!" The snow passed right around Zatara and he regarded Zach coldly. "You think you can stop me with the magic I invented, boy? No wonder your branch of the family tree is such a disgrace." "Meht kcatta eci!" Huge icicles formed and headed for each of the heroes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allednis_arataz 2011-02-10 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"Selcici ot selbbub!" Sindella cried out, waving at the icicles, turning them into harmless soap bubbles. (FEAR) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2011-02-10 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"You're NOT my family! And that is not my woman! I'd give anything to have them back, but you're not them! I WANT THEM BACK BUT YOU'RE NOT THEM!" He screams frantically as he spots Sindella reaching safety. "EHCNALAVA!" The mountain shakes and a wave of snow rumbles towards the zombies. (RAGE) (GREED) (LOVE) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	just_a_stranger 2011-02-10 03:42 am UTC (link)
	It took a considerable amount to actually surprise Victoria. Zachary deciding that an avalanche was the solution to their problems, however, was one of them. Especially since they were also in the path of it. "You stupid fool," she growled, grabbing at his collar to try and yank him along as she moved. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_lantern 2011-02-10 03:43 am UTC (link)
	The Black Lantern Zatara did not even have time to cry out in surprise as the snow began to engulf it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2011-02-10 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Wons ssap revo su!" Zach shouts with less than a moment to spare, and the snow abruptly arcs over himself and Victoria. The ground still shakes beneath them and they have to struggle to keep their footing, but for the most part, they are safe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allednis_arataz 2011-02-10 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	Sindella ran inside the building, as the snow and ice fell down around them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	just_a_stranger 2011-02-11 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Victoria continued to drag Zachary along, until they had passed the gates. There, the environment was instantly different. Tropical, almost, rather than icy cold. Shrines of faintly eastern design filled the immediate area. And above all, there was a feeling of peace. "I do not believe they will be able to pass the threshold." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2011-02-11 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Zach was still seething. "Whoever has done this... they will pay. I will personally hunt them down and consign them to fates they can't even yet imagine.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allednis_arataz 2011-02-12 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"At least now I know why my connection to the dead's been acting strange. I hope." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wondered if any of you types would make it out here," a figure said as it walked towards them. "Heya, Vicky." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	just_a_stranger 2011-02-12 04:19 am UTC (link)
	The smallest smile played at Victoria's lips. "Hello, Boston," she said. "It is good to see you again, though I wish the circumstances were better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2011-02-12 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Something occurred to Zach, even in his rage and loss-fueled fervor. Someone had just referred to Craft as 'Vicky' without being corrected. He'd known her for a few years now and still couldn't avoid that. "Well isn't this cozy?" He remarks, before getting to business. "Brand, have you been outside lately?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allednis_arataz 2011-02-12 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Hello, Mr. Brand," Sindella said, smiling politely at him. "You wouldn't have some idea as what's going on would you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_adult 2011-02-12 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, same here," Boston told Victoria. A small wave of nervousness passed over his face. "Yeah. We know a little bit. Not much. Which is kinda worrying. The Boss Lady's supposed to know everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	just_a_stranger 2011-02-12 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Well. That was... not good. If Rama Kushna was not revealing any further information, it meant the threat was dire indeed. "That is... distressing," she said after a moment. "What has she told you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
