[ The voice that starts to speak has a fairly apparent Russian accent and tone that betrays just how tired she is. ]

I know an entity like this bear our Captain spoke of. [ There's a hint of sarcasm her tone with the word Captain. Illyana never has been fond of showing respect to people she has none for. ] The Demon Bear is a nightmare entity that my [ she pauses awkwardly for a second ]...friends and I defeated long ago. I suppose a demon is rarely truly defeated though. They always return to be irritating. [ Unless you wipe them from all reality. Then they stay gone. Would have been a useful thing to know all those years ago. ]

This entity is not exactly the same but it is similar enough. The Demon Bear gains it's power from negative emotions. It feeds off them, implanting terror inside the minds of it's victims. It has no goal aside from the corruption of human souls. It is powerful and most importantly cunning. To it we are nothing more than food to be harvested.

[ She pauses for a second. ] Be careful in your sleep, that was where he was strongest.[ Her tone has a strange edge to it. ] I would suggest not sleeping. It will become more difficult to wake the longer he is inside your dreams.

Oh, you are not wrong. He has always come off as overly self-righteous and right about everything. Fits in with the others.

[prodigalvampire]

The others? [He's playing dumb.] The other Avengers you mean?

[soulsword]

Yes. Most of them have an overly high opinion of themselves as the good guys.

[prodigalvampire]

That sounds like a club someone named "Captain America" would join.

[soulsword]

They all have stupid codenames. Captain America. Iron Man. Antman? Antman. Really?

[prodigalvampire]

Iron Man could be cool, but...Ant-Man? Yeah, that's a no-go.

[soulsword]

Iron Man could be cool if you have no taste.

[prodigalvampire]

If he's the guy I think he is, he's got enough money to buy being cool.

[soulsword]

No amount of money can make an old washed up tin can cool.

[prodigalvampire]

[That gets a laugh from him.]

Damn. It sounds like you've got some beef with Iron Man.

[soulsword]

Nothing so personal. I just find them all boring and arrogant.

[prodigalvampire]

[That got a soft chuckle.]

Arrogant about being boring?

[soulsword]

Or perhaps so arrogant about everything that they become boring.

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah, predictable arrogance is so last year.

[soulsword]

Isn't it? You'd think with their focus on image they would care about what is in.

[prodigalvampire]

Does that mean we need to get all the Avengers Instagrams?

[soulsword]

Do you really think they do not already have them?

[prodigalvampire]

...That's even worse. Captain America has an Insta?

[soulsword]

He posts patriotic pictures of dogs and cats.

[prodigalvampire]

I thought that was why the First Lady used social media.

[soulsword]

How sad for him to be the same as the First Lady.

[prodigalvampire]

I don't know. Supposedly that's pretty patriotic.
