WHO | Copycat, Glinda
WHAT | Shapeshifting Mutant vs. Witch
WHEN | The day before the finale
WHERE | In one of the fissures
WARNINGS / NOTES | Character death. Violence. The usual.

The clock is ticking down to the final hours of the games, by the sounds of the cannons going off in the sky, and by now Copycat has gotten her hands incredibly dirty (to the inevitable joy of the Capitol, no less) but with the numbers dwindling down the chances of someone just stumbling across her little crevasse? It's beginning to look like she might actually need to hunt.

Not that it's a difficult task, seeing as she spends most of her time as Sabretooth, which allows her to hear and smell a stranger from almost a mile away. And as fate would have it, she's caught a scent. Ooh, and it's nearby!

Copycat shifts to her human form - Vanessa Carlysle -- average height, long blonde curls and golden amber eyes -- to begin her approach looking completely frightened and harmless.

Just the way she likes it.

Oh, and this one's completely beside herself. This can go one of two ways, she thinks to herself as she stops her approach and holds her trembling hands up defensively.

"Sorry. Please-- Please don't shoot me."

Glinda lowers her bow immediately.

"I won't I won't." She shook her head, tears starting again. "I don't want to hurt anyone again." She sobbed.

As soon as the bow is lowered, Copycat takes it as her signal and continues walking forward. With every step she takes, she begins shifting from her blue form into that of a tall, muscular man in red and black with two katanas strapped to his back.

"Well, that just makes this easy peezy lemon squeezy."

Glinda's magic reacted before she had the chance to.

A wall of ice thrust up in front of the man in the attempt of hindering his path as Glinda shuffled back, her boots slipping in the ice somewhat. She felt numb with fright. This man meant to kill her. But he had been a woman a bare moment ago.

"N-No. You stay back!" She ordered as the ice thickened in front of her.

Deadpool laughs as the ice comes up and he taps it with the edge of his katana. The second the blade makes contact with the ice, another transformation takes place, turning him into a red-headed brick wall of muscle with two thick swords in hand.

Shatterstar.

He cross-slices his swords, forming a giant X in the ice that turns into a portal, teleporting him through the portal til he's right behind Glinda and taking a swing at her.

Again her magic reacted before she did.

A bubble formed around her as she screamed and ducked down to the ground, covering her head with her hands. It didn't seem that strong a material but the bubble was strong enough to deflect the swing.
