So that’s why a couple of hours later, Jessica had gone temporarily ‘good-guy’ and was helping save the world. And all she could think was:
Oh, the cruel irony...
They found Phoenix in the same place Jessica had left her, standing in a forest clearing, burning brightly. Ryan stood against a albero a sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza distance away, sulking. His once green-now brown eyes widened as he watched the team approached, and he turned away, not willing to watch them come to her.
He began to walk away from them, but felt a hand tighten on his shoulder, and he turned. He found himself looking into Russel's green-grey eyes, and the kid stood about as tall as him. “We don’t care what o who te are at the moment. We just need your help.”
Ryan nodded, and allowed himself to be led da Rus towards the group. Kaylee gave him a quick glance and smiled sweetly, then remembered what she was supposed to be doing and she quickly looked away. He didn’t make eye contact with anyone else but Jessica. Otherwise he just shyed off from everyone else.
Phoenix watched them all warily. She knew they were here to apprehend her, not saying that’d she go without a fight. Jessica stepped up to her. “Look, Phoenix, your... um, services,” she muttered quietly, wincing at the word, “have been fulfilled. te can leave now.”
Phoenix did a quick read over of the grey haired teenage mercenary. She got hatred, disgust, fear, and yet there was a sense of approval and demanding within Jessica. Phoenix sighed and decided to do what was best. If she was asked to leave, she would leave. She began to lower her body temperature. The oro in her eyes began to fade out, and her dirty blonde curls straightened themselves out and went dark.
Then everything went dark.
Whatever light that had been provided da Phoenix, Mercy, and Scarlet combined, it was gone, all of it. It was like someone had accidentally blown them all out at a birthday party, and the candles just wouldn’t relight. As hard as the fire-casters tried, there wasn’t any più fuoco left for them to light.
Mercy spoke. “I don’t think I like this.”
There was a flash of red from their left and Jessica cried out in pain. Then she fell to the floor, soon followed da Ryan’s anguished yell and a thud indicating that he, too, had fallen. Jessica squealed.
“It’s Chelsea! She knows, she wants it to end, she wants Fin!”
Dick, Danna, Aisling and the others all took a fighting stance, when the last scream came.
It came from Fin’s body, which had relighted with a golden glow, and something struck it harshly. And Fin choked and relapsed into her phoenix state, but with full awareness of what was happening around her and what she was doing. The temperature in the room went up dramatically, and Dick yelled.
“Fin! You’ve got to calm down! You’re going to--”
His eyes widened. “Oh, god, no...” he whispered as she stood.
Fin choked on her own tears. “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry...”
“Fin!” Danna screamed. “Don’t te fucking dare!”
A shield surrounded them all, and they had to look away in order to avoid being blinded da the flash of white light. It was then that they realized the shield wasn’t for them, it was around her. And when they looked back, she was gone.
Danna stood and turned. Chelsea gave an evil sneer of a smile. “Miss her already? It’s your fault te dared to lose her.”
Blade let loose a furious scream and began to run towards Chelsea, teleporting at at least five feet intervals. She pulled out a gun and pointed it straight at Chelsea. “You goddamn bitch!” she infuriatingly yelled, and pulled the trigger.
But she fired into empty air. Chelsea was gone. Fin’s murderer had gotten away untouched.
Danna fell to her knees, Dick following close second. The only thoughts running through their heads?
I never thought this was the giorno I’d be losing you.
Fast, sudden, unexpected... I wanted it like this. FIN'S DEAD, BITCHES!!!
What'll te do to cope??
Oh, the cruel irony...

How did I survive?
It was peaceful
Then they came
They took all ‘smart’ and ‘intelligent’ ones
They burned our houses
They burned our city
They burned our people
They almost burned me
She almost burned me
I will never forget her face
Long hair
Blue eyes filled with fire
Angry...
So angry...
She held fuoco in her hand
It didn't hurt her
The fuoco just danced in her hand
She looked at me
Then my parents
Then me
She burned my parents
I ran
It was hot
So much fire
So much burning
I ran
I hid
I dissapered
Now I am here
I am Rostlina
And I am going to kill the fuoco casters.

The car raced to the Mountains. Zinc had no idea where his 'Father' was taking him.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Away, to keep te safe. te don't belong here" Replied the Death Spirit.
"What!? what about my twin Zoe, why aren't te taking her to be safe?!"
"She already is. In the eyes of the Spirits."
A nube, nuvola of thunder formed right behind the mountains. Echoing throughout the mountain air.
The Death Spirit made a left hand turn into a field of grass.
"Gnome. You'll be sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza there". detto the Death Spirit.
Blackness filled Zincs eyes, as he fell into a trance.
The Death Spirit had taken Zinc to a far away universe. He was held in a town called Gnome. No way there, no way out. Only da plane.
TBC TO FIND OUT ABOUT ZOE (ME) AND THE REMAINING SECRETS STAY TUNED......

For a moment, Revenge was pressed against her in the narrow hallway in complete darkness. Then, there was a light, from Revenge's mask, and the hallway was lit in a dim red light.
"Ladies first." Revenge said.
"Scared?" Batgirl asked.
"Funny." Revenge said. "I'll take point."
Barbara cut him off. "I'LL take point." she said.
"I've got the light." Revenge said. "And the armor, and the brains."
"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
"Any più smart remarks?"

"Har har, funny."
"Indeed. Watch my back."
"From the scary dark?" Batgirl asked in a mocking voice.
Revenge turned and tossed a dagger into the darkness behind them. It went farther than the three feet of the iron door through which they had entered.
