The fight with the Hulk was over, but a bigger threat now loomed. Apocalypse had risen and once again threatened the world. He closed in on New York. It would be his capital in the world he would shape.

For good or ill, Dani isn't entirely without combat training. Still, the current illusion is disrupted as she's sent flying back, hitting the ground hard.

Unable to take another shot like that, she reaches out, desperately, trying to tear his greatest of all fears from his head and make it real.

How well can you maintain concentration, and finish her off, in the face of... whatever manifests, Dorrek?

The Torch is gone, which means he's got the right target. Dorrek skids when he hits the ground, adding more scrapes and bruises to his already-battered body and he's pretty sure he just felt the major bone in his right wing snap, but he knows she's not out yet. He can't let her catch her breath, because there are worse things than his dead mom and the Human Torch to throw at him. He scrambles to his feet and lashes out with an extending arm to hit her again, but--

But suddenly there's someone in between them, someone with a red cape and dark hair, and Dorrek's blow is angled for someone else and at at different distance, and humans can be so fragile sometimes, and--

Billy Maximoff hits the dirt, his neck obviously broken. He looks a little surprised, and a lot like he had when Dorrek had kissed him on his way out to buy the engagement ring still in his pocket. Billy even has the same smear of green paint across his cheek.

Dorrek freezes, staring in horror as his heart seizes in his chest. Then he screams -- he's not sure if he says anything, or if he says it in English or Skrullos or Kree -- and lunges for the woman again. Maybe maybe maybe this is her doing; maybe this isn't his Billy, brought here to help by the Timebroker. Maybe if he hits her, the corpse won't be there anymore.

Maybe. Please maybe.

	Thankfully, he's right. As Dani's consciousness fades, so does the image of Billy, torn from his mind. And as she falls, Kev makes his sacrifice, and the threat of Apocalypse is ended in this world forever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dorrek forces himself away from the woman when "Billy" fades, even though his fists are itching to hit her again. He falls to his knees and retches in the dirt, dimly aware that the rest of the fighting seems to have stopped as well. He'll look into that when he's done shaking. (Reply to this)(Parent)
