She decides - since she can order up a custom fork at all - that her fork might as well have a copy of all her memories since she found Soph. To understand, to know what she's doing in the world, to not instantly want to punch Juliet in the nose for mishandling Soph in some way. To know what day it is, if nothing else.
Wish.
And then there are two.
And the new one cocks her head, and says, "Don't worry, we can merge - well, I will, anyway, who knows if the crystal ball was lying - but first why don't we surprise Sherlock?"
And the not-new one smiles, and says, "Why not?"
And at precisely the same time, they teleport, wearing matching smiles.
She implements that; it goes. She tries to wish Ben directly to where his car's parked on Earth - but apparently he's not budging that far to start with. She can send him away if she can just extract him -
Wish goes -
Whatever she's doing, it hurts. It hurts an evil's worth, in fact. He just barely has enough attention left over to make the coin. His body is outwardly unmarked, but it feels like whatever she just tore loose was something he should dearly miss.
Bella's at max brain clockspeed and kicking Glory in the sternum, away from Sherlock, before anything else happens. [Sherlock what happened -]
They're not going, not yet, but she can keep Glory's attention while she works on designs. [Sherlock. Sherlock.]
Before he can really think about it, he uses the evil she so handily gave him to pin the change to his torching.
And with the aftershocks still worth a star every time he moves, he joins in the fight against Glory.
Okay then, Bella can worry about that later. She sends Sherlock a list of what she's tried wishing so far. Glory is apparently a bearer of some serious godhood; she might not be able to dent Bella's invincibility, at least not via punching, but she can sure resist some extremely concerted attempts to end her.
With two against one, the fight is starting to turn in their favour.
[It would be bizarre if I couldn't tenner her dead but could punch her to any useful effect, but yeah.] Bella continues punching her, in the absence of any better ideas.
Sherlock also continues to punch.
The effect on Glory mainly seems to be annoying her.
It's been a while since they've gone toe-to-toe with anything together. If the circumstances weren't so distressing maybe it'd be fun.
[I wonder if I can put her in Downside without killing her first. The admin can handle her, she's locally omnipotent. Not through a Jarvis, I wouldn't risk them, but I teleported her just fine...]
Bella tries it. She starts with the stars, in case it can be done with stars. Nothing doing. She goes up the coins -
"Well, that was a bit of a fuckup," he remarks.
"Just a bit. Ugh. I'm going to go try dooring Downside and see if I can get him and make sure Glory didn't wreck anything from her vantage point forty astronomical units away from the nearest Downside settlement." She eyes Sherlock. "...But that is not urgent on a scale of minutes. Are you okay?"
"For some values of 'okay'. Still dripping hexes," he says wryly. "Losing my soul again is probably to my ultimate benefit but, alas, that didn't make it any fun."
