Blink was throwing a tantrum, that much was obvious, but there was a line not to be crossed with the Black Queen, and this girl had just done that. Selene however, knew that Blink could not be touched, both figuratively, as the granddaughter of  En Sabah Nur, and physically. The girl would simply 'blink' away from any attack Selene attempted to direct towards her.<br/><br/>The smugness that radiated from Blink set every nerve alive within Selene. Yet there was a reason the Black Queen had lived as long as she had, as well as had become as Powerful as she was. Age brought wisdom, and using that wisdom, Selene simply gave Blink a nod, allowing herself and her prize to be transported to the presence of Her Master...<br/><br/>… directly before Apocalypse Blink would set them all. Selene would waste no time, grabbing Magneto, yanking him around to toss him at the feet of En Sabah Nur, inclining her head towards the Being in her small show of subservience.<strong> “ As you ordered my Master, Eric, to do with as you wish. I now however, have a request. This child of your blood dares to think she walks the same path as I..."</strong>As Selene spoke, her mind would open to Apocalypse, and the words that Blink had spoken to Selene were whispered along his senses by the link he shared with his Horsemen.<strong> “ It seems that which you have sent me to do in Moscow is a... 'fiasco'.. I believe was the word she used?"</strong>Selene's darkly beautiful features slipped into the rage she felt, not hiding from her Master the fact that she wanted to lash out at his Granddaughter, but did not, for it was not her place, no matter how high in rank Apocalypse had set her.<strong> “ I seek retribution. I have done nothing but what you commanded. I have raised your ranks high, I have found, restored, and stowed away many weapons. I have done all you have wished of me, and this... <em>girl</em>, dares to think she has risen as high as ME!!!”</strong><br/><br/>Selene spit out her words, seething in Blinks direction, her hands curled into fists at her side. To think that at one time Blink had been the Apple of Selene's eye... no longer.
