A quick look back on the “fight” between Brightman and some evil god which got instakilled, during that day Hellbitch ate some magic… Yup this is about that.
After many test and experiments after Hellbitch had fixed what she needed to fix and told her family about what they needed to clean up for her.
Nightknight and Brightman realized… nothing. Not that they did not try every method, they actually did way too much and Hellbitch felt naked and ravaged.
Which is a normal thing to feel when being scanned by some not very nice spells, they do not scan gently, it kind of feels like your soul gets scraped by something.
The soul being your most private, vulnerable and sensitive spot… usually. Actually Hellbitch is very used to this sort of feeling from the spells of her family.
They did find somethings out, but it does not help much; so in their panic the called the only person they could possibly think could help… Alexander.
Of course it was not a phone call, but a mental link channel for work… or a private chat room for heroics in their minds.
So they livestreamed Hellbitch’s situation over to Alexander who was watching their actions trying to decipher what magic this is… Alexander feels this is way out of his pay grade.
With a couple of motions from Nightknight who was holding Hellbitch by her chin, Hellbitch’s face started rotting, decaying and aging super quickly.
While her beautiful face was being stripped from her, veins appeared at the edges of her face like wrinkles and blood veins framing her broken face.
With a couple more motions from Nightknight, gently trailing his finger down Hellbitch’s face; her face restored itself to perfection again.
But the edges of it where the veins where, the veins started popping out of her skin like worms digging their way out of the earth, twisting and turning in sticky bloody horror.
Hellbitch’s face was twitching slightly in pain, which according to Alexander’s knowledge means this pain alone could kill a couple hundred people…
As her face returned to its beauty, it was suddenly destroyed by the appearance of these worms who started transforming into strange black and purple tentacles.
Tentacles lines her face, they twirl like snakes and a strange almost hissing noise emits from them confusing Alexander a lot… WTF is this?
Noticing Alexander’s confusion, Nightknight and Brightman lose some of their confidence, but they continue to show the odd “spell” affecting Hellbitch.
The tentacles turn into hair like sideburns, they become flames, they become maggots or iron chains… there seems to be no real purpose behind their form.
As the “tentacles” get more and more “exited” and animated, fire and pain gathers on Hellbitch’s forehead as she groans in pain.
Alexander knows the pain has reached a point where it alone could kill thousands of people, this is worse than he thought, it is actually terrifyingly horrible.
Hellbitch’s eyes go red and demonic, blood pools into her eyes as tears of blood leak from them, Brightman and Nightknight tremble in fear for her.
Alexander notices their reaction and smiles oddly feeling happy, the three superheroes notice this and are disturbed, annoyed and hopeful.
(Brightman:)”Alexander, do you know what this is?” (Alexander:)”Nope.” But Alexander shoots down their hopes instantly.
Hellbitch entire body starts trembling, fire bursts forth from her pores all over her body and the pain is reduced enough for her to focus slightly.
Strange noises and power gathers inside her body, her abdomen swells as Brightman is horribly confused and Nightknight is just horrified by what he knows.
(Nightknight:)”Fuck, Hellbitch this is not a time to give birth!” Her stomach already looks eight-nine months pregnant in seconds, Brightman regrets having ears.
Alexander stares in horror, not that he did not know this could happen, but seeing it is an entirely different concept from hearing about this sort of thing.
But before Alexander or Nightknight’s worries can come to fruition, Hellbitch’s stomach reduces in size as magic tattoos stretch across her body.
Nightknight and Hellbitch being the only ones that actually seem to know what any of the things that happened means, while Alexander knows some things, but not deeply.
Brightman fears for all things magic related, this has just further set him on a path away from magic, because fuck magic… that shit is crazy!
Hellbitch’s magic tattoos recede, but they know they were broken for what is about to happen; a new magic tattoo appears on her forehead, a tattoo of a red lotus, the Red sin lotus.
The fire and pain disappears as Hellbitch inhales and exhales loudly from tiredness and magic-muscle overload, after a couple of second she start poking her own forehead.
Nightknight quickly grabs her by her chin and repositions her head and does another magic test, the worst seems to be over as they all calm down slightly.
But Alexander stares in confusion and shock before he laughs loudly and happily confusing the three superheroes, but they quickly realize that he might know what this is.
Before they even get the chance to ask Alexander answers. (Alexander:)”That looks like the magic tattoo condensed from the Red sin lotus, did you perhaps find it?”
The three of them stare stupidly out into space for a couple of seconds, before realizing that Alexander knew what this was from the start, they just did not tell him about its name.
They thought he did not know about minor magic things, minor historical things, but who knew he would actually know about this one magic tool/material.
Alexander would later explain in great detail about the powers and uses of this tattoo and how Hellbitch rises to the “top” using it.
They would later realize their stupidity in asking for Alexander’s intelligence, just describe the event well enough and he can answer… don’t expect actual in depth knowledge on magic.
Alexander might know what is happening, but he will not be able to tell if you do not explain in a way that he will understand, or it is too minor an event for him to remember.
