Sofia was having a nice relaxing day. She'd spent most of it curled up in the study, reading. Chris was over at the Avenger's Mansion, and her father had decided to take her mother on a romantic getaway to a honeymoon dimension. So Sofia was enjoying having Sanctum Sanctorm to herself.

That was, she was enjoying it until she heard a loud blast from outside. ....And smelled the distinct scent of brimstone. And the scent of brimstone was never really a good thing. Sofia rushed out of the study, and outside.

...Where she saw an army of demons attacking the area around Sanctum Sanctorm. And heading towards the sanctum, leading the army...

"Blackheart," Sofia said, summoning mystical bolts and sending them towards the demon. "I don't know how you got here, or what you want, but I'd suggest crawling back into whatever filthy pit of hell you crawled out of." She narrowed her eyes in disgust.

She could hold him off and drive him back into the portal that he and his army were pouring out of.

...She hoped.

Father had listened a little about taking precautions against the bombers. But it hadn't prevented David's parents from going through with the scheduled rendezvous with the Atlanteans. So David was sitting on the beach near Hammer Bay with Princess Kassia while Mom and Father met with Namor.

"So. Highness. I hope everything's okay in Atlantis," he said, trying to be conversational. "I'm... sorry Ryan can't be here." His brother always made guests happy, somehow.
