Dazzler’s dashing date for The Disco Ball, SUNFIRE! 

I found this in my WIP doc earlier today - I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish it tbh.

Working Title: X-Factor Resurrection

Characters: Lorna & Wanda

Summary: A short little moment of sisterly bonding at the second Hellfire Gala

Lorna felt the chill hit her mouth before the drink’s sickly sweet taste cut through. She wrinkled her nose, before taking another sip of the drink, just to confirm. The jewels she was suspending in air just below her ears shook out of alignment for a moment.

“There’s no fucking alcohol in this shit,” Lorna grumbled. “I can’t believe they’re cutting me off.”

She let herself privately imagine what she would do to the Madrox who had served her the drink when she found them, and then Lorna sighed and let it go. She’d long since lost count of the number of drinks she’d had at the gala anyways. Maybe a little breather would be good for her.

Wanda was doing her best to hide an ever so subtle smirk. She was pretending to be fully focused on Lila Cheney’s set, humming bits of the tune as she had no idea what the words were. Lorna didn’t think Wanda had ever even listened to a Lila Cheney song - Wanda didn’t have a single song on her Spotify Wrapped that had been made after 1972. Lorna had made Wanda a lengthy playlist back in January, and despite Wanda swearing that she had given it a try, Lorna was unconvinced Wanda had ever even clicked play.

Maybe the ten hour runtime had scared her adopted sister off.

“Wanda… Did you turn my drink into soda?” Lorna asked, an edge to her voice.

“What? Me? I would never,” Wanda said, the smirk only growing slightly as she tried to proclaim innocence. “It’s rude of you to accuse me like that.”

Lorna furrowed her brow. “You totally did,” she pouted.

God, when are people going to stop treating me like a fucking kid? First Jean, now Wanda…

It had been a year since Jean had manipulated Lorna’s don’t pick me plea and gotten her elected to the X-Men. Jean always did what she thought was best, no matter what other people had to feel about it. And to make things worse, Jean had been fucking right - Lorna had loved just about every minute on this X-Men team, probably the first time in her life that she had actually wanted to be a part of the capeshit craziness.

Wanda shrugged, turning to face her sister. “I guess we will never know,” she teased slightly. “So, my dear sister… What’s next for Lorna Dane, PhD?” she asked earnestly.

Her hair was cascading all around her, at one point turning into a galaxy of magical stars. Wanda was positively glowing, no longer the Pretender, the mutant boogeyman - but finally the Redeemer, a great friend of Krakoa. Lorna knew that Wanda’s plans were for the future, now that she had finally hit her stride - she had talked about helping those in need, beyond just her calling with the Avengers. Wanda had even rattled off shop name ideas to Lorna late one night, when they were in couture PJs and eating ice cream out of the container as Legally Blonde played in the background.

“To be honest, Dr. Dane… has no fucking idea,” Lorna admitted.

A little bit of tension left her body as she admitted that. It felt good.

“Whatever it is, you’re going to do great,” Wanda promised. “You’ll figure it out - I know you will. Call it a witch’s intuition.”

One Year Later…

Hellfire Gala

Here's the full suite of Hellfire Gala variant covers unveiled today, April 19th. I'd say the fashion designs are, on the whole, improved from last year, but they're also less fantastical and more geared towards dressed-up interpretations of existing costumes than the first Gala.

Well don't just drop the fact you did looks for a DC Hellfire Gala and then leave

Need you to lower your expectations I'm not actually great at fashion and it is just me messing about not to mention theres only three that are semi presentable but I'll show you them anyway
