Alexandra chuckled softly. So that's how the game was going to go. He honestly believed that he could win my affections. He really knew nothing about who she really was.

"You really think you could show me more than Azrael did? Are you fucking insane? That man took me to distant planets in galaxies you could never have stepped foot on. Places you never could have survived in, without his help. He showed me far more than you ever could, crystalline caves, with flesh eating pixies, Salem during the witch trials, remote lands full of magic and mystery. He took me to Kyoto, Japan, in 1198. He took me to Venice, I'm still not sure what time period.. we weren't there long, a kiss and we landed back in my room. I was there at the birth of his child, when aliens invaded and tried to kill us all.

She shrugged. It's shocking how people love to think that they are so much better than everyone else.

"Where were you in any of those adventures? You were nowhere to be found. Because try as much as you would like, you could never be Azrael. I've seen things, done things, and experienced things without him by my side. I grew, I thrived, and guess what I've fallen, I've gotten back up. You seem to forget.. Mystica taught me a lot too.. You stare into the abyss long enough, it stares back into you. It showed me more than just knowledge, it showed me truth. There was Zak and Marcus.. who showed me how to feed on the madness inside of me, how to harness it, and use it when it's necessary. So keep poking the demon within, and see what you get. You might just get me to knock that air filled head off your shoulders."

She glared into the inky darkness.

"By the way, only pussies run, so I guess that's what you are. A pussy."
