“Oh, but they try.” Abraxas thought back to Hell and the various tortures he’d seen performed. “They’re very delicate, aren’t they? My boyfriend is an immortal which is the only reason he can last a night with me.”

"Humans are more resilient than you realize. Take myself for instance. I got my powers from a secret experiment that was testing the effects of dark matter on living organisms. I didn't know that that was what they were testing," Vortex starts, crossing his arms. "I thought we were testing the effects that dark matter has on inanimate objects, and had the job of placing said objects in the test chamber…. You can figure out the rest."

"Oh so they used humans instead of objects?" Iona laughed a little. "Of course they did. Humans….. lie a lot I guess." She rubbed a spot over her heart looking vengeful. "Can't be trusted. Ever."

“You’re only more resilient because you have superpowers.” He turned back to Iona. “Can you imagine just…dying if you were stabbed?”

"Well, I've been stabbed multiple times. I'm pretty sure that's how I died in the first place, but I can't remember for sure. I don't have any memories of my first life, only my life as a vampire." She shrugged, twirling a strand of magic around her finger. "Then there's the wooden stake through the heart, but that didn't kill me either." Iona scowled darkly. "She really thought it would."

“Mmhm. Sucks to suck, doesn’t it.” He took out one of his daggers and began to mess with it. He cut a slit in his palm and held his hand up as bronze blood seeped out. “I wouldn’t know, Knights of Hell don’t die. Occasionally we try but it doesn’t work.”

"Well vampires don't age but can still be killed. I used magic to make myself truly immortal." she smiled humorlessly. "That's why I'm here." She gestured to the empty space around her.

“Kinda stupid to lock yourself in time don’t you think?” He had never considered getting stuck between time and space. Maybe that would be close enough to death. “Plus, every spell can be reversed, every cage unlocked, and every locked door opened. I bet you could get out it you wanted.”

"I didn't lock myself in time, I was imprisoned." she snarled. "And I'm trying to get out, why do you think I'm working with humans? There's magic that has to be destroyed and that can't happen until the little ones die."

"'Little ones'?"

"What else am I supposed to call them? They're small, practically children. Messing with my plans, and that scumbag Nathan can't even kill them." she glared furiously. "I really might kill him."

"You made it seem as if you were dealing with children," Vortex says after he finished his scotch. He looks down at his phone to notice a text alert from his office and growns.

"I am." she scoffed. "Children and adults who act like children."

“Well I’m all up for killing children but how exactly did these little ones imprison you?”

"I was not imprisoned by children. I was imprisoned by immortal beings with magic.The kids are their descendants." Iona told him "I've been in here for 2 billion years."

"Ah, so you plan on killing the descendants, which these people care for, as revenge. Make your captors suffer the knowledge that their families are dying and cause great emotional turmoil; their pain would be grand if they were the one to cause the death!"

“Well if the immortal beings with magic are immortal why don’t you use their children to threaten them now.” His hand had already healed and he blankly stared at the place where the cut had been. “By torturing the children of course.”

"The children will all die eventually." she smiled. "But a little torture beforehand can't hurt."

“Damn straight.” He began to light a cigar but when he flipped open his wallet to grab his lighter he was faced with a small print of him and Lucien on the beach from back in the 80s. “Or not entirely straight, I suppose.”

"So what's up with your hero?" asked Iona "Why haven't you, I don't know, killed him yet?"

“Mine? Well, he’s not really a hero. More a minor inconvenience.” He took a draw from the cigar. “Not entirely worth my time. Plus he’s friends with my boyfriend. Lucien would throw a fit if I tried to maim him.”

"Oh. I see. The no maiming people rule. I hate that rule."

"There was also a no eating people rule, but I mean…" she smiled showing her fangs "What are they going to do about that?"

"You eat humans?" Abraxas grimaced. "That's disgusting. Have you seen the things they do, it's appalling." He shuddered, taking another draw from the cigar. "Like sweating and whatnot."
