Getting help (or a New York pizza)
She'd meant to get to New York sooner, but with one thing or another she just hadn't been able to do it. Now while Titan (and Andy) were gone from the compound on Argo business, Marlow took the opportunity to transport herself directly to the street outside of Cornerstone of Creation. If anyone saw her appear in thin air, no one bothered to yell.

Hello, Mr. McNee. I'm Marlow, and I might be possessed by a demon.

	Somehow, Ian thought it might come to this. He understood her desire not to lose what identity possessed, even to save her life. She reminded him a great deal of Matthew's mother. "The second option is much more dangerous, Marlow. Quite simply, it's an exorcism. Are you familiar with the term?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, but I understood it was in regards to religion. I don't believe in religion." Living with gods gave Marlow a whole different perspective on 'higher power'. "What would be involved?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Religion is not necessary, but Faith is." Ian says.

"We would, in essence, try to purge the demon from your body. We would need to prepare a place and agree upon a ritual, but that's easy portion.

Marlow, I need to be blunt; there is a very real chance that you could die or worse in this attempt. You could still lose access to your magic or be rendered mentally impaired for the rest of your life. You could end up insane. It could affect the amount of power you could draw upon." Ian says.

"While I don't urge you to tarry on making a choice, I do ask that you think everything over long and hard. Speak to Dr. Strange and Clea if you need to. If not them, then someone you trust implicitly.

You must be certain of whatever choice you make before you make it, because there would be a great deal of preparation to undertake in either event." he says.

	"There's a third choice, Mr. McNee. I could do nothing. If Matt hadn't said anything, I would still be living my life the way I have all along. Isn't it possible that whatever Matt thinks he saw could be harmless?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ian considers Marlow's words. "I can't say I agree with your assessment, Marlow. I've never known any manner of demonic possession to be beneficial or even benign to the possessed." Ian tells her. "However, there may be a way to find out the truth and reason for the demon's presence, if you're willing." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes. A simple fact-finding mission that will let us know where you stand." Ian says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow was silent for a moment. "Are you going to feel you have to take action based on what you find?" she finally asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Marlow, I have made it my mission in life to defend this world from any threat that comes from the supernatural. I am not the Sorcerer Supreme, but I feel that such is my responsibility as a practicioner of the Mystic Arts." Ian says.

He pauses.

"That said, I am not eager to tie you down and exorcise you until something happens. I want to help you, but I must keep your safety and the safety of others in mind." Ian says.

"I would prefer to learn what we are dealing with before any decisions are made."

	She nodded. "What you're saying is very reasonable, but I would like someone here to look after my interests if a choice becomes necessary and I am unable to make it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you have someone in mind that you want to contact?" Ian asks. "We will take any and all measure you feel necessary if you choose to go through with it." Ian says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
