“ well, it isn’t. ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“What? No, it’s factually true.”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

yes…

no?

maybe.

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

So you want it to be difficult?

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ hmph. not for long… so, say what you want to say now. ” he continued to step back at a similar pace, ready to bolt in a breath’s notice.

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“Nothing changed at all, it’s like that part in horror movies where the monster finally reveals themselves just in time for the big chase.”

Another step closer, fanged grin widening.

“It’s also to show you just how close I was, and am.”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

pfft. that would be too easy to be worthwhile.

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

Let’s jump him

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ that is factually false. ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“And I do, besides, you’re a bad liar.”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

||: god, i am the worst — just have not been keeping up with being here AT ALL

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ curious. ” he said, another backwards step.

“ why reveal yourself now? what changed? ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

Illyana grinned once he was startled, her hands behind her back with a carefree vibe about her.

“I’ve been following you at least a few minutes before I called you. Sooooo, a long time. Why?”

She takes a slow step forward.

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ as you should. ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“Okay, I trust you.”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

ultron is little more than animated scrap.

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

Ultron is being a hater.

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ hm… fair point. but i won’t. ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“I do, but I also know you’ve got a mischievous streak.”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ ah— you! how did you— ”

he stopped, frowning into the darkness at the other, but instinctively taking a step back.

“ how long did you wait before this dramatic reveal? ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“Looking over your shoulder only makes sense if you think I’ll be behind you.”

She replied, suddenly a few feet in front of him, walking backwards while she faced him.

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

. . . another reason to avoid trusting artificial intelligence.

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

@SuperhumanSpeed

….we gotta break up.

IM KIDDING!

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ you don’t trust me? ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“You promise?”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

eyes wide and alert, he pursed his lips as he looked around.

nothing. hm…

he continued walking, at a brisk pace and ready to run if necessary.

“ this is absurd… looking over your shoulder… ” he mumbled.

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

That would be the only time she’ll use magic, after all, the rules were that she couldn’t use it to catch him. Altering the environment should be fair game- but she won’t over do it.

Watching him peer at the sky, she jumped to another roof, closing the distance.

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ i would never. ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“Don’t abuse it.”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“what do yo— ” the line went dead and he huffed, pausing mid-step.

“ huh. ” he watched as the weather changed, unnaturally. “ alright then. so be it… ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“Babes, I’ve already started~”

She purred before hanging up the phone, whispering a small spell that pulled forth clouds, obscuring the moon and its light.

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ ah, ha — noted, /dear/ illyana. ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙧 Illyana. The first word isn’t on my birth certificate~”

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

he heard… something. a small frown.

“ mhm. fine… i’m ready-enough. are you? ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“True, but the point of the game is to get caught eventually. You’ll have fun.” She replied while swiftly portaling to another roof. “Are you ready?”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

@SuperhumanSpeed

We’re the idiots rage baiting each other btw

[𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘧𝘧 @SuperhumanSpeed]

“ by your name? ”

[𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 @DREADMISTRESS]

“I love when you call me that.”
