Part 7
N/A: Mike´s powers will be explored here, but, also, Hela and Thor´s daughter will do a cameo, to be clear, she is innocent from all this madness and Thor is trying to save her. There are so many scary stories with creepy hotels and hey...why not?
Veella is the name Hela pick for her and is quite fitting as it means "the one who has no work to do" but her life is far from idyllic. Having her father´s blonde hair, but, her mother´s dark eyes. Veella is a teenager stuck in hell, literary as her mother is using anything and everyone to further her power.
Veella and her father are no different. Thor the God of thunder is here against his will, bidding by her spell to do her bidding and Veella can only hide and survive to another day, but, why she should care? She´s just a pawn in her mother´s chess game with Mephisto.
"Veella?" Thor spot the frail teenager hiding in the corpse of once a great demon, hell is hell and no one here cares if you´re the daughter of the ruler or not. "Come on, little one, you can leave...your mother is not here for now"
And the skinny, frail and young teen leaves her hideout to see her father who looks so tired(did he fight with demons or with mother again?) and she refrain to speak the many questions is on her mind.
"Did you eat?" Thor asked somewhat kindly offering some fruits (not from here. Never here) to the young girl.
"Do...you hate me?"
"I´d not hate you, Veella, I can´t hate you. You´re as much victim of this as I´m..."
"Can your Avengers friends help you?"
"Yes, but...what Hela can do to you stops me from calling them right now"

Kitty didn´t stop much on a plan, per se, Raven scared her so much that kick her fleet or fight reaction and her kneen reaction is to fleet, which is really rare, as even Michael can testify (he knows her for a few weeks) Kitty is a more confrontational person.
"Where are we going, Kitty?" Michael asking shaping into one of the characters of Hanna Montana.
"I don´t know...somewhere, someplace where your mother can´t find us" Kitty started taking the bus to anywhere. As the girl tries to think of a plan, Michael offers a suggestion.
"Mother can´t read minds, Katzchen, why we don´t stay in a hotel and think better tomorrow?"
"Why am I a pile of nerves and you´re so calm?"
"I don´t know" he replies and is a sincere answer "I never thought I would leave that place...maybe, to me, this is still a dream...and tomorrow I´ll be back to the attic"
Kitty pinches his arms and Michael let a pained moan from his lips roll. "See? That´s real"
"You know, in Dreamlands...you can feel pain too"
"Do you want another pinch, Michael?"
"No, madame"

The hotel Flore is not exactly 5 stars hotel, but, they have a room available, the price is good for the night and the receptionist is not making too many questions in regards two teenagers alone at this time.
While Kitty is talking to the receptionist about the dinner(just now her appetite and Michael´s return) Michael, still under a disguise, can feel eyes on them. Eyes on the wall.
"Michael, do you want to eat now?" Kitty asked and is a silly question to do in her opinion.
"We can´t think on empty stomach" Michael replies cheerful and Kitty gives the menu(she wonders how she got money...and Michael can´t answer that, for the moment, is better for her to believe it was lucky money on her wallet)
The eyes followed Michael and Kitty closely and Michael is great in manipulating people and anything else...if he puts the mind into.
____________________________________________________________________________
The hotel Flore has a curse, so to speak, a ghost roams freely the hotel in search of a new victim and has a preference for children, how the hotel cover the missing cases that certainly should link them to the crime and the ghost? They are great liars and can manipulate anyone. They convinced the last family that was here that their son leaves earlier to hang out with other kids and...never again show up.
The ghost is sure that killing those two kids will be easy. Well, killing the girl was no challenge, but, it also proves to be a great mistake and one that cost his life.
Michael is carrying her lifeless form as his eyes are crimson and his azzure form is revealed.
"A demon?" the ghost replies now feeling afraid. Maybe, in his last moments, he truly thought he could make a deal with the blue demon, but, killing Kitty was a mistake that cost his life.
"She´s mine...you killed her" Michael replies now feeling a fit of seething anger making his blood boil. "I´m not free to see her die...she can´t die...and this hotel can´t exist anymore"
Michael offers a cruel smile as the ghost and the hotel realize too late what happened.

Kitty wakes up and looks at her surrounders for a moment and then to Michael who is in his blue form again. "where are we?"
"Oh...funny story...I noticed one of my mother´s workers in the hotel..."
"But...how..."
"I teleport us...sorry, I was too excited to think straight, yes, I can teleport and not for far places...yes, the seal did block most of my powers"
"Oh god, that is insane...what we do now?"
"I have an idea...what do you think of the X-men?"

Prof X heard stories about the Hotel Flore and never gave much attention as this is a work for the police, however, when Moira arrives telling the Hotel was evaporated from existence with everyone inside and how this makes the seals ring loudly, now, Prof X is giving his attention.
"So...the Anti-Christ is free, at least, what we do now, Charles?" Moira asked as the other members can finally pinpoint who is the Anti-Christ.
Thor looks at the azzure kid´s photo(thanks to the seal) and looks at the hotel, according to Moira and the police, this hotel used to have 200 peoples there including the workers and now...they are gone completely.
Then...now it begins. Thor thoughts looking at Courtney and Dr Strange discussing the next move.
