Jessica's house is cute. Lexi could see doing a lot of her homework here, listening to the calming chatter of gossip and getting help from Jessica on math (Bella's no help there) and helping Jessica on English. Forks isn't so bad. She doesn't mind the rain as much as Bella does.
Jessica goes to pee before they even start their assignment, after just introducing Lexi to her mom and dad as "one of Chief Swan's kids", and Lexi doesn't want to do work by herself or she wouldn't have come over in the first place. She sits on the couch and plunks her bag down and waits. There's a random deck of cards over there; she picks it up and flips through it. She's been trying to learn to bridge-shuffle.

"Yeah, I know, that's the idea, I want Bella to have it instead, I'll go home in like an hour and a half and then I'll give you to her."

"If you do not accept me, you will not have limitless power. It takes power to talk to you. I cannot sustain this for long. If you do not accept me, you will not have limitless power."

"You can't sustain this for long? Like, you can't wait an hour and a half for Bella?" asks Lexi.

"Oh, geez, okay, I hope Bella doesn't guilt me about starving orphans and cancerous grandmas every single time I want to do something fun - Of my - I need the phrase thing again?"

"Of my own heart and will I choose to command you," parrots Lexi.

The pack of cards begins to glow with a bright white light.
Then, so do all of Lexi's clothes.
"Initiating unison," says the voice of the deck.

"We will be magically linked," the deck explains. It hovers in front of Lexi for a moment, and then disappears.
Half a heartbeat later, so does Lexi.
She is suspended weightlessly in the middle of a blank black void, lit in colourless greys by a sourceless light.
The voice of the deck says, filling the entire infinite space, "Unison complete."

"Is this part of the limitless power thing? I need to go talk to my sister," Lexi calls into the void. "Where am I?"

"You said that already, you said I was going to have it, how do I use it?" Lexi complains.

The house appears completely deserted, except for a human-looking figure with bright white hair sitting on the living room couch. He jumps up, startled.
"Grab him!" hisses the staff. "If we do this in here we'll blow the roof off and there's probably people in it outside the barrier!"

Bella makes a disgruntled noise and lunges forward, seizing the white-haired guy by the front of his shirt.

The white-haired guy flails a little, and then the same rotating figure appears on the floor below them - two counter-rotating stars in a circle in two counter-rotating pentagons in another circle - and their surroundings blur, and they are in the middle of a forest, and the staff twists in Bella's hand to point at the white-haired guy's midsection and yells, "Fuck you!"
A blast of energy in the same every-colour as the staff's other magic lances out of it and slams into their opponent, knocking him loose from Bella's grip and propelling him twenty feet backward through one and a half trees. (The first disintegrates on impact; the second only cracks in half.)

The stranger gets back up.
"Now we hit him again," says Brilliance, letting off another energy blast. "You can fly, by the way, that's probably gonna be important when he starts hitting back."

"How do I fly?" exclaims Bella. There's little color-feathered wings extending from her heels like she's Hermes, but she can't feel them to even try flapping.

"Try wanting to," Brilliance snaps, and then the distant figure glows brightly and Brilliance hauls himself forward and fires another 'Fuck you!'.

"I do want to!" shrieks Bella, trying to help out by aiming him so he doesn't have to wrench around in her hand like that. "I'm not going anywhere!"
