[Aisling hadn't even tried to go after her target. What was the point? She'd been in Mayfield too long not to suspect anything of it, and she didn't want to kill anyone

[Sitting on the bench, looking horribly dejected Mike peers at the girl under it.]

"I tried hiding under there earlier. Unless you're hiding from a blind man."

[wolf_faerie]

[Squeaks and then hits her head on the underside of the bench.]

[boostedfailure]

[Peers under to look at her]

"Uh, not that its much but I'm here, so you don't need to be... Oh who the hell am I kidding. You hide and tell me who's stalking you."

[wolf_faerie]

[Looks at him like he's crazy.] You mean you don't know? You can't feel it...?

[boostedfailure]

"Feel what? I've just... I've been trying to get over something stupid. What am I supposed to feel?"

[wolf_faerie]

The Dark One. He's waiting. You can't feel it?

[boostedfailure]

"Which Dark One? I've fou... Got my butt kicked by several of them. I mean there was Doomsday, and Darkseid, and uh... Max Lord... Good grief, lots of them."

[wolf_faerie]

[Shakes her head frantically.] No, no, not them.

[Her voice drops low.] Crom Cruach.

"Never heard of him but... Tell you what. You tell me where he is, and yeah, maybe I'm a shitty super hero, but Booster Gold doesn't let people boss around little girls."

[wolf_faerie]

He's everywhere. He's waiting. He's waiting for someone to awaken him...

[boostedfailure]

"So this standard evil spirit wake up thing? Needs the holy relic of something or other and virgin sacrifice? We just get the thing and put it in a safe deposit box in the bank then."

[wolf_faerie]

No! No, you mustn't go near him at all. Don't sacrifice anything. Don't...

[boostedfailure]

"Look... I may not be Batman, I may not be Superman, but Booster Gold... Never dies, its just his friends."

[He sighs]

[wolf_faerie]

All things die. Even gods die.

But you can't kill the Dark One. He'll kill you first.

[boostedfailure]

"No... Not me. Trust me. Look, you can either run away from your fears, or you can fight them. Now maybe I'm not a good guy to ask about it cause I usually screw it up... And Skeets isn't here... But, I can't let ANOTHER Dark one around."

[wolf_faerie]

You can't fight him! No one can! Nothing hurts him, not swords, not arrows...he's killed so many, and no one has beaten him!

[Yeah, she's pretty much convinced that there's nothing anyone can do.]
