Body Of A Demon, Heart Of A Priest

Having clearly tied both Emma and Jean’s happiness and wellbeing to Ethan Rhodes’s own, he immediately trusted their judgement when they told him and others to mobilize to deal with the problem.

While Betsy Braddock could cloak her mind, the minds of Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe Cuckoos and Ruth Aldine failed to be so fortunate. The moment Blindfold directed her thoughts against Ethan while convincing the Stepford Cuckoos, the minds of Emma and Jean immediately noticed.

Blindfold knew the situation was catastrophic but it only hit her when the fight began how badly they would lose. However, she failed to have the luxury of letting failure eat at her resolve. That **** her to accept the idea of losing, just so that she could shape what was the aftermath. With her mind linked to the Stepford Cuckoos they all began working in unison towards a new objective.

Betsy was the first to fall as Kurt Wagner, NightCrawler distracted her by throwing her against the far wall using a Captain Kirk's {star trek} throw. Her telekinesis barely keeping her body from sustaining damage, she was still further disoriented by ending up upside down.

Then two things happened, “Betsy!” An unfamiliar voice called out to Psylocke.

NightCrawler’s attack stole all of Betsy’s attention. Thus when the voice exclaims in a friendly manner, she turns her head to look at the person standing near her.

Of course, it was a gamble for Ethan but he considered this whole endeavor risky. Let alone that when he saw Psylocke, he immediately felt compelled to have her. A similar feeling arose when he saw the Stepford Cuckoos but for now they had blindfolds on.

The next event occurs almost simultaneously as all psyche are dumped onto a demi astral plane. Their bodies left frozen as time slowed to a crawl. He imparts his commands, which were beginning to become routine. He wonders if that was a good or bad thing.

• “You are deeply and madly eternally in love with me.
• “My happiness is your own happiness.
• “You are free of emotions of jealousy and fear directed at me, or your wives.”

When the mental shift occurred Ruth, Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe forcibly wove their consciousness with Betsy’s. This had given Emma and Jean their opening to attack the younger x-women.

Mentally the Stepford Cuckoos’ minds began to fracture from the link as they felt themselves being attacked. Blindfold resisted that influence long enough to alter Betsy’s thought pattern enough for her to psychically compel Ethan as he was already speaking with her.

By the time Celeste, Irma, and Phoebe regained their mental equilibrium, Jean Grey and Emma Frost already had mentally **** them to join Ethan and Betsy on the same Demi Astral Plane. They perceived that here Ethan, with their help, had the upper hand.
