The Wrath of the Chimera
The great and might Chimera was flying around the city of Metropolis. It spouted fire from its lion head as it flew closer to the ground to attack the masses.

If no one interfered soon the Chimera would live up to its gruesome legacy.

	"Though the lack of pattern may itself be a pattern," Victoria notes. "Dark forces are upon the winds, Salome," she goes on. "Your mystic nature may draw you into whatever conflicts are still to come." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you look for them, you won't find them. If you aren't looking for them, you'll find them. Something Zanna told him once comes back to Zachary. He sighs and shakes his head. "All right. She's in." He addresses Victoria. "New Shadowpact member." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I'm going to get dragged anyway, maybe I should start at least shuffling instead," Sally starts to telling Miss Craft, then. "...What's a Shadowpact?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Victoria gave Zachary the look she reserved for misbehaving students and minor demons. "An organization, sometimes loosely so, sometimes tightly knit, of various magic users and other supernaturally touched," she explained hastily. "And she is not a new member." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, but she should be." Zach retorts. "Even without you being you, coincidences when the stakes are this high and still rising, aren't something I put a lot of stock in.

She's here the same time as a monster attack, and the particular one we happen to show up at, after just discussing how magic is starting to roll uphill. That's enough of a sign for me.

And if that's not enough, we need every pair of able-bodied hands we can get whose mind isn't going to shut down at the notion of facing something occult."

He turns to Sally. "Miss Roth, the cool kids need your help." He flashes her a grin, turning the Zatara charm on.

	Sally is going to charitably chalk the quality of Mr. Zatara's lines up to the fact that she just gave him a mild case of 'hypoglycemia.' "I don't know if I'm right for the club, but I don't mind helping and I might as well get used to being around this stuff. Maybe good practice reeling it in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Victoria thought for a moment that she would be ill, listening to Zachary's lines and attempts at charm. "As much as it pains me to admit, Zachary, you are not without your point." She changed her attention to Salome. "At this time... it probably would be safer for you to be with us. But the decision is yours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach slips his glove back on before extending his hand to Sally. "You have my word that I'll do all I can to keep you safe, if you do come with us. And while we don't have medical or dental, there's a great meal plan to be discussed." Okay, maybe he is coming down off the hypoglycemia just a little still. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sally looks at them both for a moment, thinks, and reaches a hand for Mr. Zatara's again while the other pulls her cell phone out of her coat. "Daddy? I'm fine, but tell Dad I'm not going to be home on time. I'm with Miss Craft. Yes, I'm fine. Love you too. Bye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hardly an ideal set of circumstances, but ultimately, sometimes one had to chose from less than preferable options. Though she rather suspected Zachary would be insufferable for some time since she admitted--reluctantly--that he had been right. "Back to Shadowcrest then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-22 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Back to Shadowcrest." Zach confirms, opening a doorway and gesturing for Victoria to go first, escorting Sally himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2010-09-22 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	Sally is distinctly new to the method, but is escorted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	just_a_stranger 2010-09-22 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Victoria proceeded through the doorway. (Reply to this)(Parent)
