She rolled her eyes, and looked over to Charity. She seemed to be the most in-the-know of the bunch here.
"Spare a quick run-down for a gal who's new in town?" she asked quietly, leaning towards the armored woman.

That the two they faced were evil was not something he questioned. It was something he knew, as he knew his own heart.

Neal didn't much like "voices" murmuring in the back of his mind.
"I don't either," he said flippantly. He spared Deidre a quick glance and there was a flash of a snarl on his face that was inherently not him. "I don't see why you had to bring her."

He did wish he had access to an angel sword. There was one in the Impala's trunk which of course was not here. And he didn't know how he could get his hands on one here. But he had a knife that he could use to cut away the noose if he could get close enough. Though if they were fallen, would the banishing sigil even work here? They had to get permission for their vessels too so maybe?
He did make a brief gesture to his gun to indicate that would likely be a futile gesture here to Charity.
Dean also remarked, gesturing to Galahad, "Yeah what he said." He step away slightly to try to discreetly cut his arm, and start drawing a sigil in his blood anyway.

She eyed Deidre for a moment, wondering what her demonic form was like, though she was more than certain She-Hulk would want to know if she could come out and play. Jennifer pushed that thought aside for now, frowning a bit as she saw the expression change on Neal's face. It would be a hard decision if she had to try and block both of the fallen angels from harming the group.

Deidre's eyes gleamed at the prospect, moving away from her father with wide-eyed excitement not unlike what was seen in children. Her form rippled for a brief instant and the dark-haired girl was replaced by a nightmarish creature, her skin erupting in metallic green scales and legs popping into backwards joins with a sickening crack.
But it was her hair that saw the most disturbing change. It lightened from dark brown to a bright metallic green shade, becoming as hard as diamond and a dangerous as any well-sharpened blade. It kept growing too, longer and longer until it reached nearly ( ... )

Okay, not the most elegant-sounding of spells, but backwards-speak wasn't always the prettiest thing in the world. It was also a lot simpler than her usual spells, but a little nudging of probabilities and energies around them would have to do.
Should things come to violence, be it from the demons in front of them, or some other unseen force, they'd find themselves safer and more protected than they'd be on their own. Whether it took the form of the unseen magical armor Zatanna wore herself, or just a second wind that would make things a little easier for her allies to dodge attacks, or just some inexplicable good luck, that remained to be seen. The magic would likely act a little differently for everyone.
[*ooc: Protect. Think of it as a buffer spell, whatever protective effect each player feels would be best for the character and scene.]

However, once the woman they faced began to change, Galahad shifted his stance. The sword rang slightly as he unsheathed it smoothly. The spell settled around him as unseen armor as well. But it did change his tunic, bleaching it out and adding a red cross over it all. His coat of arms. Maybe it wouldn't offer any real protection, but it made Galahad feel more settled.

She stepped beside Galahad, angled so that she was ready for a threat either to Neal or from Neal, hoping that the knight was prepared to cover Dean. Charity's alert gaze sought for the slightest shift from either Denarian, her warhammer still held ready in her hands.

Fury. That conniving, selfish...
Nicodemus's cold, calculating frown fell on Neal, as if easily reading the thoughts running through his head. He shook his head. "Temper. Deidre, if you would...?"
A snarl escaped the fallen angel's throat and in a flurry of lethal, whip-like strands of metal, she launched herself at the group, too fast to even react, deadly ends already aimed at the hearts of Charity, Dean, and Zatanna...it would be over before it even beg-
A sudden flash of silvery light, and the crack of thunder.
And the demonness was crumpled on the ground, shrieking in surprised agony.

Whether it could work with their type of fallen angels or even at all here remained to be seen.
(ooc: Banishing sigil that includes Enochian symbols designed for banishing angels away from an area. Canon hasn't stated where exactly angels are banished however.)

"Amazing. Murderers, fallen angel or otherwise, are always so eager to lay guilt on the shoulders of others." She commented, her tone almost bored, more confidence in her appearance than had been in her before. Shoulders back, head up, and arms crossed, more so that she could tear off her coat if necessary.
When Deidre shifted forms, she watched with some interest, and most would think with a little too much calm, unless they were close enough to see her eye color change, ready to shift her own form as necessary. She was not quick enough to get any closer than Neal when the demoness attacked, and then the bolt of lightning. Instead of changing, she shoved into Neal instead, trying keep him from getting fried as well if any more were to fall.

Demons inside their heads. The man couldn't be killed. Maybe... maybe she could at least cut them off from their demons? Or weaken the connection. It was worth a try.
She took a deep breath, and gathered up will and energy. "Snomed, eb decnelis! Peels nihtiw ruor tsoh!" Demons, be silenced. Sleep within your host.
If she were back home, she could do this in her sleep. Here... just doing that spell was making her unseay on her feet, and... she had no clue if it would even come close to working.
