Involuntarily she shouted when she hit the wall, but pain was an old friend. She slapped the sense of it at Liesmith, like a knife of emotion, forcing him to feel what he’d done. A flare of fire bloomed out from her body. “Been easier ‘f you just dropped me out a window.”
Liesmith’s chuckle was low… dangerous thing as he felt the mild twang of pain, “Oh you mortals and your pathetically low thresholds.” if the woman thought he’d yelp from it like a smacked dog, then she was sorely underestimating the strength of a millenniums old God.
It was funny how so many teased him for getting smashed by the Hulk… but no one ever really dwelt on the fact that he had walked away from it alive with only a few cuts and bruises.
“It would have been easier if you did not stick your nose into my business in the first place!” he snapped as he began to walk around her in a wild circle, “Do you know why I refuse to listen to your useless words? It is because I can taste your zealotry and it churns my stomach. If you truly wished to help me… then you would not have dispensed your advice in such a foul manner. What did you wish for? For your insults to brush past a God as he nods and listens to your hot air and takes your supposed wisdom to heart?”
“I am in a severe crisis with my lover and you wish to use MY misfortune to boost your ego? You dare to use a God in such a way? You completely disgust me.”
It hurt to laugh, after the way he’d flung her against the wall. But she couldn’t help the broken chuckles escaping her mouth. “D’you do aught but talk and toss? You threaten pain and death and jeer at me for m’gift, m’curse.” Yep, something was awry in her back now. “Zealotry. Ego. Mine.” She kept laughing, curled around the pain.
“Mine, and you with your pretty pretty dark Stark. They’re neither of them whole now, d’you know it? All you’ve tried, all your magic, he’ll never /be/ whole. Can’t be.” It’s a dream, it’s things she shouldn’t know, spilling out of her mouth along with the pain. She has always hated this aspect of her power most of all.
Knowing.
