Hades is distracted by the wounds Tempest inflicted upon him, and the rage he saved for Terra. He turns his attention to Jesse and Victor. The flames warp around him harmlessly.

"My realm is the hot bowels of Earth itself. That is but a warm breeze. Try this..." He makes a choking gesture with his hand and metal parts of Victor's body begin to corrode. Jesse, on the other hand, can feel her joints stiffening, her body weakening, the speed and strength draining from her.

As they hit the ground, their faces are wrinkled and their hair is chalk white. Hades has aged them a century in a second.

Terra pays them no attention, hurling boulder after boulder at the mad god.

"Running scared, Hades? See, I've been doing some thinking... you're the one who chained me to that fucking boulder task, you sicko. And if you asked for my help this early in the fight... you're running scared." She punctuates this comment with another hurled boulder. "So who's the losing side, then?"

Vic's assault on the dead stops. He drops to one knee.

This...is only gonna slow me down...bastard.

You have any idea what the lifespan of plastic is?

Jesse, however, is not made of such stern stuff, and she crumples, enfeebled.

"FLASH!" she shouts. "Bring Jesse to me!"

Wally's broken out of his trance by Ollie's arrows, but before he can get pissed about it, he hears Donna's call, and immediately appraises the situation.

HOLY SHIT NO.

He bursts into the speedforce and catches her before she falls to the ground, tearing towards Donna, then spinning around her to slow down as gently as he can, to keep from any further damage to her...

"You're not going anywhere, Jesse..."

jessequick August 24 2005, 19:12:17 UTC

The spell from Hades took the virtual wind right out of Jesse's sails, and she can do nothing other than be carried, only dimly aware of what is going on around her. Being in Wally's arms isn't so bad, however, and she has a tiny smile showing as much as she rests her head on his shoulder. So tired.

middle_amazon August 24 2005, 19:41:02 UTC

"No, Jesse!" don't fall asleep. You'll never wake up."

And let's go for the Kory tactic and embarrass the heck out of her - get the adrenaline going and the urge to break something. "Besides. Wally needs you. Tempest mentioned orgy after this. Want him to run off with Kory?!"

jessequick August 24 2005, 19:45:50 UTC

Not going to be that easy. She is ancient, this version of Jesse, and she was already tired from the head wound, from the battle and the other events of the day, and her eyes close. Here is comfortable, and she really has earned some rest.

middle_amazon August 24 2005, 19:50:57 UTC

Donna kicks her. Not hard but enough.

"Tell me about your mother."

jessequick August 24 2005, 19:53:52 UTC

A small complaining cry, a murmur of discomfort, and Jesse's eyes open briefly to look at Donna. "Mmm?"

firefrank August 24 2005, 18:25:28 UTC

Suddenly manifesting himself to all, Ash steps in front of Victor and Jessie, and absorbs the heat.

Eyes glowing, he smiles darkly.

"Now THAT's spicy eating. Bring it on."
