Who: Blaine and Copycat
What: Blaine's death.
Where: Near the small cave that Sebastian took Blaine to on his first day.
When: Before the glacier break.
Warnings/Notes: Character death


Blaine was starving and weak. He needed to get up and do something about it. After Sebastian's death he had mostly been hiding in the little cave, trying to pretend this wasn't happening. The idea that he was just wasting away made him feel so useless.

That's how he found himself packing up all of the supplies that Sebastian left and slinging them over his back before he slipped on his glare resistant goggles. He'd have to brave the outside, he told himself.

No matter how dangerous.

Copycat has spent her days discovering the secret of the crevasses in the Arena: once she's in them, she has her powers. Once she leaves, she is back to her blue state.

How has she survived so long in this cold arena? Simple. She stays in the crevasses, in the form of the mutant who killed her: Sabretooth. His regenerative healing factor and immunity to the cold of the arena keep her very comfortable while she's down there.

Why is she top-side now? Well, for one thing she can't get any food down there, and it's not like everyone is itching to kill each other off in the place. It's a matter of survival. To live, she needs to kill until she's the last woman standing. The last thing she wants is to go back to being dead. She was just brought back, after all. It'd be a shame to waste the second chance waiting around for someone like Deadpool to come save her. That didn't exactly work out too well for her the last time.

As she's walking along, searching for food, she spots Blaine nearby and approaches, watching him move. Poor thing must be miserable.

"Not used to the cold?"

Blaine jerked at the sound of the voice. The sight that greeted him made him even more nervous. He didn't want to be rude and ignore her, but he remembered being caught by Alpha and how that had worked out.

"No, I'm afraid not," he said, his voice rough.

"Poor thing. You must be starvin' too." Copycat is used to the looks she gets from normal humans regarding her appearance by now, so Blaine's response doesn't phase her in the least.

She approaches slowly, hands up as she feigns innocence. She's a chameleon, looking harmless is easy.

Blaine holds his hands up in response, showing that he also is unarmed. The sad thing is that he's honest in this. He doesn't have any weapons or ways to fight her.

"I'm managing," he says carefully. He doesn't want to appear as weak as he feels, but his face and the way he stands gives him away.

She notices immediately just how weak the teenager is and part of her deep down inside feels bad for the kid, but she buries that feeling and uses this opportunity to get in close with him.

"We could band together, y'know? Shared warmth and all that..."

"I had someone with me before," Blaine said. His voice shook a bit as he remembered what it had been like to find Sebastian's body. He was still reeling from the shock, guilt and grief.

She tsks sadly at his grief until she's right behind him and her hands settle on his shoulders briefly. "It's going to be okay."

And then she snapped his neck.
