So that’s why a couple of hours later, Jessica had gone temporarily ‘good-guy’ and was helping save the world. And all she could think was:
Oh, the cruel irony...
They found Phoenix in the same place Jessica had left her, standing in a forest clearing, burning brightly. Ryan stood against a mti a salama distance away, sulking. His once green-now brown eyes widened as he watched the team approached, and he turned away, not willing to watch them come to her.
He began to walk away from them, but felt a hand tighten on his shoulder, and he turned. He found himself looking into Russel's green-grey eyes, and the kid stood about as tall as him. “We don’t care what au who wewe are at the moment. We just need your help.”
Ryan nodded, and allowed himself to be led kwa Rus towards the group. Kaylee gave him a quick glance and smiled sweetly, then remembered what she was supposed to be doing and she quickly looked away. He didn’t make eye contact with anyone else but Jessica. Otherwise he just shyed off from everyone else.
Phoenix watched them all warily. She knew they were here to apprehend her, not saying that’d she go without a fight. Jessica stepped up to her. “Look, Phoenix, your... um, services,” she muttered quietly, wincing at the word, “have been fulfilled. wewe can leave now.”
Phoenix did a quick read over of the grey haired teenage mercenary. She got hatred, disgust, fear, and yet there was a sense of approval and demanding within Jessica. Phoenix sighed and decided to do what was best. If she was asked to leave, she would leave. She began to lower her body temperature. The dhahabu in her eyes began to fade out, and her dirty blonde curls straightened themselves out and went dark.
Then everything went dark.
Whatever light that had been provided kwa Phoenix, Mercy, and Scarlet combined, it was gone, all of it. It was like someone had accidentally blown them all out at a birthday party, and the candles just wouldn’t relight. As hard as the fire-casters tried, there wasn’t any zaidi moto left for them to light.
Mercy spoke. “I don’t think I like this.”
There was a flash of red from their left and Jessica cried out in pain. Then she fell to the floor, soon followed kwa Ryan’s anguished yell and a thud indicating that he, too, had fallen. Jessica squealed.
“It’s Chelsea! She knows, she wants it to end, she wants Fin!”
Dick, Danna, Aisling and the others all took a fighting stance, when the last scream came.
It came from Fin’s body, which had relighted with a golden glow, and something struck it harshly. And Fin choked and relapsed into her phoenix state, but with full awareness of what was happening around her and what she was doing. The temperature in the room went up dramatically, and Dick yelled.
“Fin! You’ve got to calm down! You’re going to--”
His eyes widened. “Oh, god, no...” he whispered as she stood.
Fin choked on her own tears. “I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry...”
“Fin!” Danna screamed. “Don’t wewe fucking dare!”
A shield surrounded them all, and they had to look away in order to avoid being blinded kwa the flash of white light. It was then that they realized the shield wasn’t for them, it was around her. And when they looked back, she was gone.
Danna stood and turned. Chelsea gave an evil sneer of a smile. “Miss her already? It’s your fault wewe dared to lose her.”
Blade let loose a furious scream and began to run towards Chelsea, teleporting at at least five feet intervals. She pulled out a gun and pointed it straight at Chelsea. “You goddamn bitch!” she infuriatingly yelled, and pulled the trigger.
But she fired into empty air. Chelsea was gone. Fin’s murderer had gotten away untouched.
Danna fell to her knees, Dick following close second. The only thoughts running through their heads?
I never thought this was the siku I’d be losing you.

Fast, sudden, unexpected... I wanted it like this. FIN'S DEAD, BITCHES!!!
What'll wewe do to cope??
