Hero: The Demon/Jason Blood<br/>TAG: Wonder Woman<br/><br/>The situation escalated quickly. Jason managed to dispel the curse on the small crowd outside the museum, but it took quite a bit, as the spell was empowered by the sorcerer's stone. Damn Merlin, even in the 21st century, his legacy causes problems! He could hear the the battle inside the museum as walls crumbled and superpowered combatants clashed, and that moment he knew the stone was lost.<br/>Instead, he attempted to transport himself home, but the misty  barrier over the city prevented him from doing so. By the time the mist dome extended that far it will be late to begin any research. Desperate times call for desperate measures. He cast a divination spell silently, and his hopes payed off. The magic ritual showed him the way to the closest place where he could find magical texts and supplies. It was a long shot, but he had no real way of counteracting the mind control effect so far, and the situation would turn out disastrous if superheroes would fall victim to it.<br/><br/>It was like that that taking on his hybrid half-demon form, Jason made his way to Diana Prince's apartment, unaware of who the owner really was. His enhanced mobility and super leaping took him across the rooftops of Metropolis and at one point he saw a dark-skinned superhero with impressive physique burst from the museum, screaming. Things weren't going well. Thankfully Batman wasn't here. Having crossed paths before both as friend and foe, Jason knew that the last thing he needed was the superintelligent crime figher using his mind against him.<br/><br/>When he arrived at the apartment he easily slipped in, through the balcony door. He let his demonic features recede, becoming Jason Blood fully once again. The other inside him tempted him with promises. Not yet, Jason thought. If there's another way, he would find it.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111001101857/marvel_dc/images/a/ac/Jason_Blood_001.jpg)</div>Casually, he stepped to the bookcase, ignoring the rest of the furniture and decoration, which was too modern for his taste anyway. His gaze ran over the books and he took a few off the shelves to take a peek inside. Ancient Greek. No problem, he learned that centuries ago to pass the time.<br/><br/>He could hear someone approaching, the owner of the flat maybe. Perhaps he should conceal himself? Then again he found no solution so far and he didn't want to take a chance in case the owner stayed home for the night. He had to find something and soon. So he didn't react to the heroine entering the apartment, nor stopped his casual flipping through her library.<br/><br/>He glanced at the busty superheroine and raised an eyebrow as she confronted him. It wasn't hard to recognize her, and she could probably tell who he was if she read newspaper at least. His picture was in the latest Daily Planet as he announced his arrival to the museum after all.<em>Jason Blood, occult expert.</em>What the world had no idea of, is that he was actually the immortal human cage of the demon Etrigan!<br/><br/>"Evening." he said, not bothering with formality. "Fancy meeting you here Wonder Woman, though I should have expected to stumble into one of you local heroes when looking for a good read. Impressive collection you have here. Though..." he motioned towards the bookshelf "None of them are particularly good." He allowed a knowing smile to creep on his face.<br/><br/>"I assume you are aware of what is happening? The sorcerer's stone though not responsible, had a part in all this. It must be secured at all cost, from whoever has taken it. As my library is unavailable at this time, I had to find other means of counteracting the barrier and enchantment spreading across the city.<em>Apparently your collection of texts was closest.</em>" The last sentence he spoke in ancient Greek, the same language as the book he held, in order to stress his expertise. After all, he was the best in his field. Partly because he was a personal witness to many of the magical occurrences that happened over the centuries.<br/><br/>"Perhaps you'd be willing to lend me a hand in this? I'm afraid I am not clear on the details of the museum heist, though I could sense a powerflu magic user before<em>hell</em>broke loose. The demon inside him chuckled. Hell wasn't unleashed just yet...<br/>He put the book he was holding back on the shelf and took another one to page through.
