Info: Takes place after the X-Infernus arc.
This is not what Megan expected to happen.
She was going to follow the stupid girl who took her soul and get it back. Then she'd be whole and the dagger wouldn't work or somehow take over and make her do things she didn't mean to do.
She wasn't supposed to end up losing another piece of it.
It was such a simple plan. Go with the others to Limbo. Find Illyana. Take back her soul. But nothing was ever simple in the Otherplace. Nothing ever turned out how one wanted.
The darkness there devoured all the good; twisted and tore at it until it didn't resemble what it once was. Until it became like the rest of the creatures.
She had glimpsed herself in the mirror; an image of what she could become if she stayed too long in that wretched place. If she allowed herself to falter, to let the sliver of cold that took over where the piece of her soul had been to consume her.
It wasn't an image she wanted to ever see again but she'd seen it every night since they had returned. Her altered self visited her in her nightmares and Megan began wonder if maybe that demonic girl was who she was meant to be. If she was merely denying her true nature.
Whenever she sees Illyana now Megan swears the girl can see right through her. That Illyana knows the secret darkness that she carries within because Illyana Rasputin carries the same darkness within herself.
Megan hates the girl and is afraid that hatred will be her undoing but she can't stop.
Not yet, at least.
