She's frustrated and angry and wet and stuck six feet under and is ultimately not happy.-Amara remarks that Renee is a demon and a demon doesn't deserve to be near Trista's grave.

Release Date: July 24th, 2013 Setting: Underworld, Ivy's Chambers (thunderstorms)Time: Evening - Midafternoon - Day of Trista's funeral -Ivy begins the meeting by casually stating the obvious: Gideon is becoming an inefficient leader, and it's time they do something about it. -Luke grumbles his disbelief.

He doesn't appreciate being 'called' into an audience with Ivy, and decides to use his ability on her to extract her fears.

This, he has neglected to do.-Luke rolls his eyes at the other demons, finding them over-dramatic and annoying. He points out what HE believes is obvious: Seth is leading a Resistance against Gideon. -Seth quickly interjects that he has no interest in leading anything, and reminds them that the demonic peons would follow anything that is even remotely effective in killing Celestials. -Ivy reminds him that this is her point, and suggests they join forces to form a stronger resistance. Together, she and Seth would lead an army against Gideon.-Luke has no patience for the desires of the 'higher ups'. He questions what his part in all of this would be. -Seth, his attention called to Luke, tries to garner Luke's ultimate fear, but finds it hard to grasp. He suggests Luke is nothing but a toy to Ivy, and that he should grow his own backbone. -Luke laughs at this and makes a joke designed to offend Seth. He mentions that he doesn't care about what Ivy thinks of him, so long as he's able to continue his life as is.-Ivy approves of her lackey and praises him. -Luke has had a long day and isn't willing to accept the praise. He insults Ivy.-Ivy, furious, creates a darkness portal in the middle of his chest, and reaches her arm in to grab his heart. -Seth is casually surprised by this display, having not expected this type of power from Ivy. He calmly expresses his approval. -Luke is wracked with the worst pain he can think to experience. -Ivy begins to gently squeeze on his heart, reminding him of what she did for him, releasing him from his early concerns. She demands nothing in return except for his respect and unfailing obedience. She asks if she's clear, then releases him. -Luke, choking and sputtering, falls to the floor. His body is unharmed, but he remains partially in shock. He begins to rethink his loyalties to Ivy, but shows no sign of this. -Seth, meanwhile, starts to applaud. He sarcastically informs Ivy that after seeing how well she treats her lackeys, he'd love to join her cause. -Ivy reminds him that it's about power, not kindness, and that Ivy clearly has a lot. -Seth agrees, and casually accepts her proposal to work together. -Ivy, pleased, states that she has an idea and tells Seth she's about to introduce her first plan. -Luke leaves, saying that they can contact him when they need him. FYK: Ivy has calmed down after her altercation with Gideon and has found herself resuming planning mode. Luke was just returning from almost being arrested when she summons him to a meeting (he used his ability on the officer to avoid incarceration). Seth has just returned from the incident in the alley, when Ivy pulls them into a meeting.

He finds, however, the store entrance to be locked.-Rem puzzles on this, because it's early enough to still be open.

She calls out a warning to the others, and grabs one of the antiques to toss to Rem as a better weapon.-Andrew recovers in time to begin using his ice to defend the girls, though the creature easily shatters anything he throws at it.-Suddenly the creature begins beating at the roof of the store until it causes the ceiling to fall in.

Without stopping to puzzle over this, Rem crawls out of the impact zone. The moment she's safe, the demon falls.-Maddie emerges with another antique and this time uses it ingeniously to kill the demon officially.FYK: Earlier, on her way back from Coventry, Rem to gather an ETA they'd all meet up for the Funeral. Maddie informed Rem of their new plans, and Rem agreed to forgo the official funeral and have one for Trista along with Maddie and Andrew. They all meet up at the Olde Curiosity Shop.

Daphne suddenly senses an immediate pulling sensation. Daphne is horrified to recognize the feeling as her Maia senses recognizing a celestial in danger. -Hannah tells Michelle she just needs to fix an issue with her boss, and then they can leave.

https://www.ironmanarmory.com/retreat.htmlOnce upon a time, in his "part time lover" days, Stark had set himself up with a rather luxurious cliffside home in California. He had dubbed it "The Retreat", because for as ostentatious as the house was, it was Tony's hiding place. His bethel. He had kept the home, despite maybe some renovations after super villain fights, until the horrifically cumbersome issue with Onslaught came about years ago. Stark kept the property, though. His fortune had been stripped from him recently, but he had been successful at suing back the rights to much of it. On the original land as the old Retreat, Stark had quietly built a new home with funds from a new company and a recouped fortune. He had also renovated the lab facility beneath, greatly. So now the old land on the old cliff and the old memories had a new, slick, updated lodging atop.  In some sense, most of it had been built as an experiment in "the home of the future"; every new or prototype technology that Stark delighted in was implemented into the home.  Be at ever some humble...      The green goo fridge fridge was one of Tony's favorite innovations.  Though, few other guests had the courage to try it, so it mostly became his personal cooler.  https://www.geekosystem.com/zero-energy-refrigerator-green-goo/ His very own see-through bee hive had also been installed somewhere new the kitchen, into one of the large window.  https://www.popsci.com/gadgets/article/2011-11/sleek-urban-beehive-concept-attaches-honeybee-colonies-apartment-windows Also in the kitchen, opposite side of the bedrooms, is new prototype aquaponics biosphere kit, which simultaneously grows fresh herbs, plans, and tilapia.  https://youtu.be/Au2Bueiy6MQ?t=8m But, most important was the full gym, sauna, and spa facilities built into one wing of the home, just below the master bedroom and suites on the floor above.  The gym area contained weights, cardio machines, and a full boxing ring.  Adjacent to the gym, however, was the sauna and a small Dornbracht-designed horizontal rain shower.  The horizontal shower was the newest addition to the home, and Stark had personally instructed that "after a work out, it should feel so good you think you have to cook it eggs in the morning."  https://www.dornbracht.com/en-US/Products/Bath-and-Spa/Horizontal-Shower.aspx (The gym and parts of the sauna and spa facility can be seen overlooking the pool if you pay close attention to the background during the Rhodey vs Tony fight scene in Iron Man 2.) And, the pool and jacuzzi were outdoors, just beyond the gym and spa facilities.  These were nested just at the very edge of the cliff, with a perimeter of safety railing, to overlook the Pacific Ocean. Below the home was Tony Stark's garage and lab assembly complex.  The original property had included a huge two-stage lab and manufacturing center underground, which was expanded upon and updated with modern equipment.  The layout of the lab is largely modular, so as to have space be rearranged and configured as needed.  There is a multi-purpose test chamber, large 3D printers and automated fabrication equipment, and assembly areas.  The lab and workshop area can be accessed by the (armored) garage door, the cargo elevator at the edge of the property, or from the proper entrance inside the home.  There was/is also an underwater entrance to the lab. Currently the upper deck is a main staging area, armory, and also garage.  Below that is the second stage of the lab, a large fabrication, storage, and utility level. Included into this underground area was the home's power plant, where four huge Repulsor Generators (Arc Reactors) provided ample power to the home itself and enough extra power to shunt into the California electrical grid and sell to the local electric company.  The home's power plant was able to dump so much energy into Malibu that a small power-substation had to be built at the edge of the property to manage it, accessible by the local electric company.  Selling so much energy to the local electric company helped offset the cost of the home. Security wise?  A special armor, an update to the Telepresence Armor, was rebuilt and put back to use as a "guard dog."  This suit stays on the premise in the event of attack or security alarm.  Unlike other armors, this suit has no pilot cavity, and is completely filled with weapons and equipment, and is programmed to be very protective of the property...   Mobile sensor nodes and clusters were placed throughout the grounds outside (detecting visual, highly-sensitive audio, infrared, and backscatter x-ray).  The windows were made from reinforced metallic glass and could repel cannon fire.  Access to the lab and home was dependent on possessing the proper digital encryption pass, or by persons identified by biorhythm scans.  These scans include skeletal resonance, a method Stark favors because hardly anyone's heard of it and no one's figured out how to counterfeit yet.  In this application, when attempting to enter the home, sound code is transmitted from the floor panels, through the individuals body, and into the keypad which listens and verifies the access pin number or a palm print scanner.  Tony Stark would be notified immediately if any alarm was tripped.  (For details on the armor and tech's specific security measures, please see my Hall Of Armors blog.)  The home is controlled by a private node of the J.A.R.V.I.S. A.I.
