It couldn’t help but be more amused by the moment until Fear questioned its power. “Careful what you say, Parallax. My power rivals yours.” It growled as it stood up, it was tempting. So very tempting to just do it for Parallax and then Carol would be with it. The way it should be. It did love her. “I’ll help you then.” It said as it looked towards the kitchen, where Carol was no doubt drinking. “Only to have her. I’d hope not because I’d take yours away if you did, darling.” It smirked at it before pouring itself another drink. “Would you like one while I come up with a love spell if you will?”
❝ Would I have wasted my time coming here if I lacked faith in your abilities, Predator? ❞ As close as love will ever get to an acknowledgement of its power from Parallax. But fear is confident in its superior radiance- and satisfied now that it has confirmation of its sibling’s leverage point... Love should have really known better~
❝ I know you know that it’s in your interest to make it a strong spell, dear sibling. ❞ Smirk curling at its lip, Parallax reaches to rest its clawtips against the cheek of love’s human facade. A gesture that would be familial, or even affectionate- were it capable of such things. ❝ I was never the one you were most likely to lose your Carol to, after all. ❞

“I’ve allowed myself to realize we need to change some.” It emphasized, rolling it’s eyes. Maybe it had allowed itself to be influenced but it also knew how stubborn its siblings was.Parallax and itself weren’t as stubborn as Ion was, they however preferred each other’s company. And the Predator would much rather deal with Parallax’s obsession than listen to Ion drone on about nothing. “Parallax, what you want won’t be true. It will be a lie for him and while it may work for a while, you and I both know he’ll break your spell. I could… help you though. But it comes with a price.”
❝ It won’t be my spell, lovely sibling, ❞ Parallax says, poisonously sweet. ❝ It will be yours, remember? Do you believe so little in your own power that you cannot even maintain the light of love in a single mortal’s heart? ❞ Its nails drum over the table top, each sharp tip leaving a tiny prick in the varnish. ❝ I’m willing to leave your champion alive and unharmed, is that sufficient payment? ❞ Its lip curls in a knowing smirk. ❝ She is, after all, the only thing you’re truly attached to on this planet. I would never dream of taking away your special someone. ❞
Parallax and Predator: Cosmic Entities. The human forms.
Fear and Love.
“Out of all of our siblings, I want to smash your face in the least.”
“Funny, I can say the same about you.”

The Predator stares for a moment before a laugh escapes its lips as the entity sipped the whiskey. “You wish for me to do that? Sibling, dearest, while it is. That’s not how love works anymore.” It shakes its head. Although, part of it wished to do it just for the chaos it would cause. But that wasn’t how the emotion worked. “Making them love you and having them fall in love with you are two different things. One you should at least try to get him to love you although, it won’t work well with Sapphire in area. And no, you are not killing her.”
❝ Not how it works ‘anymore’? ❞ It indulges itself in a low chuckle- one dripping in malice. ❝ Dear Predator, that’s dangerously rational for our kind. You’ve allowed yourself to be influenced by mortals far too much. ❞ Weak and changeable. Such has Predator been since the very beginning... always forgetting what they were. They were pure, and they were light, and they were not to be dictated to by those who were weak. ❝ And you should know- I don’t care for the difference. I simply want him to adore me like I adore him. ❞
heartslonglost
If the Predator smirks more than it should, the love entity can’t help it if it loved to piss off its siblings. It sighs, dramatically, all of the entities were dramatic when it came to trivial matters but it’s brow raises. “I fear my champion would have to disagree that he’s yours, sibling dearest. However.” Love takes a seat, reaching for its glass of whiskey. “I’ll humor you. What is it that you need advice on? You seem to be doing a fine job with how you are with him currently.”
❝ I want you to make him love me. ❞ It gets straight to the point- a rarity for the entity that revels in mind games, preferring to dance around its intentions and paint its conversations with cryptic words. ❝ It’s certainly within your power, no? ❞ And if it isn’t- then love and its entity is even more pathetic that Parallax previously thought.
^that look the fear bug gets when it wants to play
@carolxferrisx it’s a petty cosmic siblings get together!
❝ Believe me, dear sibling- my jealousy is not something you would want to inspire. ❞ The human woman’s presence is completely brushed aside now, the yellow entity addressing its violet counterpart. ❝ But fortunately for you, I am not seeking your destruction today. Rather, I seek your counsel. ❞

He finds Parallax.
It starts with dreams, as most things do. With memories, pressing inside the confines of his skull while the bug presses into his soul, burrowing like a worm, deep into the chambers of his heart, into the pit of his soul. A place where not even the devil could touch him, but Parallax had always been so much more than the devil, Parallax was fear and fear was something that was shared by all things.
Even Superman.
There were visions, there were memories. The bodies of his children laid out in his arms, the bodies of his family, all of his people that were lost in a single, burning instance. Weeks, months.
And he was oblivious to it all.
Indeed, fear is in the hearts of all things. But it does not come from nothing- it takes sprout from the tiniest of stray thoughts, and all other colours nourish it. Fear is the flipside of many things... But especially love. For love, so often, is vulnerability. Whatever strength it gives always comes with a drawback- the fear of loss. The fear of unrequitement. The fear that it won’t ever be enough.
Love has made Superman strong. But it also provides ample soil for the roots of Parallax in which to grow. And, like all parasites, it specialises in stealing all that might otherwise nourish that fertile soil. Over the surface of Superman’s heart spread yellow weeds, slowly and steadily choking. Whatever light and warmth and love might have reached this heart before is now greedily consumed by the overgrowth of fear, and all it lets through is coldness.
And as it creeps over his eyes, as well... that is all it lets him see, too.
So alone. But then, that is the destiny of all stars... to give their light, and receive none... until the day they burn themselves out.

❝ You sure about that–? ❞ Barry wasn’t an expert. He had been possessed by it once, letting the fear of his best friend coming to harm making it so it could take over. And it was horrible, like he was in the backseat of his own body. He couldn’t control what he did– couldn’t vibrate to separate himself away from it. There was only fear and panic as he sat there like a puppet on a string. ❝ I’m sure possessing something will be hard If I’m constantly vibrating at different speeds and velocities. ❞ Didn’t stop him from wincing though as the entity pulled at his fears. Digging at them in attempt to get a rise from him or whether to through him off long enough so he’d stay a solid form he fully didn’t know. The tail curled around his exists, his freedom– and the slight claustrophobia that he always fought off in closed spaces seemed to rear it’s ugly head. A speedster liked freedom, he liked room to run and move, cutting that off and leaving him with nothing will just cause him panic. ❝ You can taste them? What do they taste like? I bet it’s pizza– I eat a lot of that. ❞ He quips, a faint laugh in his voice to feign that he still had whatever this situation was under control. But Parallax was right. He worried. Barry was like ATLAS trying to keep the world up on his shoulders, trying to stop it from falling down. He doesn’t involve others because he doesn’t want to throw burden on other people, he could contact the league right now– could throw an emergency button on his communicator and they’d be here instantly. But to put them at the risk– to let them be possessed…. ❝ I can afford it. ❞
So, the speedster has decided. He makes such bold proclamations... If nothing else, Parallax can be impressed by his bravado.
Futile as it is.
It pauses a moment, yellow steam like flames licking around its maw as it exhales- laughs-
❝ WRONG. ❞ Its claws raise, and just as blindingly quickly slam down, rippling the earth with the shockwave, air shuddering at the casual display of power. ❝ BUT WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO TEACH YOU THAT. ❞
How appropriate that the speedster’s atoms are vibrating so- it reminds Parallax of so many other trembling, cowering fools. And foolish this human was indeed- thinking that Parallax needed a physical hold on any being when a piece of it already existed within their souls. All it needs to do- is reach out.
Barry Allen’s fear of Parallax possessing him is already leading him to jitter, to hide behind his ability for intangibility. It is instinct, really. Self-protection. But in acting upon that urge- the Flash has already fallen into Parallax’s trap.
For it is so easy to lose control of oneself if one gives into fear.
Parallax lunges- but the motion, though puts it on direct course with the tiny mass, is but a feint. The real attack comes from the fear. That momentary spike of panic that any creature with fight or flight will feel, in the moment it reacts to oncoming danger. That one moment, Parallax can seize upon- and make it so the Flash’s greatest defence becomes his undoing.

❝ I WAS IMPRISONED FOR FAR TOO LONG TO NOT MAKE THE MOST OF FREEDOM NOW. ❞ It speaks cordially- but there’s an underlying hiss to its words that betrays the grudge it holds towards everyone involved in its captivity. ❝ I HAVE SO MUCH LOST TIME TO MAKE UP FOR, AFTER ALL. ❞
