Sean did not have good news for his boss.
In the past week they'd been campaigning for the formation of a squad of cons and psychos to throw at whatever problem that needed expendable soldiers. They just didn't know it would be needed so soon. And for the boy to go missing, the boy they needed to get the most powerful witch on side...
Well. Sean's boss was not known for forgiveness.
He knocks on her door, and waits.
“Yeah, why bother with all that when they’re just gonna blow us up anyway.”
Carina likes this human. "Unfortunately, my plans for world domination seem to have hit a mild snag."
"Yeah, the whole bomb-in-neck, taking-on-magical-assholes has thrown a spanner in the works somewhat."
And somewhere, Raines is holding her mother hostage.
"I'm sure we'll figure it out."
If she's taking any of the humans with her, it'll be this one.
Thekla looks down the line at the others, before shrinking back into her own seat.
If Bambi wasn't restrained by a harness, she would definitely get up and give the teenager a hug.
Well. If she wasn't restrained and was reasonably certain she wouldn't kill her.
Not much other conversation seems pertinent at the moment.
Unless someone else has something to say, Carina won't speak until the helicopter lands.
No one said anything about landing the plane.
There's suddenly a woman, middle-aged with fiery red hair, blowing in a non-existent wind, standing in the plane.
He's behind her.
His sword is driving for her back, sheathed with lightning.
He's faster than he should be, but only by a thin margin.
She'll try to make a connection - eye contact's relatively weak but better than not, touch would be better, but touch would also be painfully stupid right now - and yank on the Enchantress's power.
All their efforts, while mighty, are in vain, proven as the form of the Enchantress shifts slightly, as if she's not really there.
A projection.
"Seeeeaaaaannnn!" She sing-songs.
Without any technology to tamper, Thekla is useless.
Doesn't stop her from leaping to her feet and staring down the woman.
Bambi removes a glove to try and touch the Enchantress, and her hand goes right through.
She's not sure whether it's appropriate to feel relieved.
Sean gets the alert that the criminals were up and using powers, and readies himself to purge them all. He gets up, exits the cockpit and-
Ah.
"Nimueh. I take it you've come to surrender."
The Enchantress laughs. "Such a sense of humour, Sean. She misses that about you."
"I have come to stop you. Did you really think you could find him before he reaches me? That my son would be unprotected while he bravely returns what you stole?"
Sasuke, wisely, decides to stay out of this, backing up.
(Emma and Carina stay clear, too.)
