Illyria smashes Wyatt on top of the bar counter and throws him to the other end. Knocking several glasses to the floor. Illyria quickly dodges an attack from Cole from behind and bashes his face into the counter too. Cole springs up hitting Illyria in the face with the back of his head, but Illyria catches his next swing and tosses him at the hood of his downed car. Wyatt tackles Illyria into a table, but Illyria throws her off. Wyatt recovers and punches Illyria in the nose, but she stops the next punch and looks close to ripping Wyatt's hand off.

"You're lucky that I need you alive," Illyria says then throws Wyatt behind her colliding with Cole. He is hit in the chest and both crash into the car again.

She advances toward the downed demon and vampire, ready to end one and capture the other.

"Get away from them!" A new arrival's voice orders. Illyria angrily faces her newest annoyance; yellow glow growing in her eyes.

"If you value your life..." Illyria starts to threaten.

"Funny thing about that. I don't," Bianca Wright cuts off; casually stepping from out of the shadows and into the light. Her eyes are slightly drained of their color and her face has quite a few scars on it. As do her hands.

"Bianca?!" Wyatt says, surprised.

Bianca looks to him and then back at Illyria. "But if you value YOUR life, you'll leave them alone. I think you know what this is," she says pulling out a Colt Revolver from her jacket pocket.

"How...how did you get that?" Illyria asks.

"Long story, but unless you want to find out if you can be killed by this thing, I suggest you leave those two alone."

Illyria observes Bianca's shaky grip on the Colt and slowly backs away from her and in front of Cole's car. Illyria then wrenches off the door on the driver's seat and chucks it straight at Bianca.

The door lodges itself into Bianca's stomach and she disappears. But only, seconds later she reassembles.

"Nice try." Bianca says. Illyria hurls herself at Kate, who holds up her right palm, halting the demon in mid-air. "I warned you," Bianca says slowly closing her palm into a fist. Illyria demonically cries out in pain while Bianca's eyes start to turn black. The yellow glow in Illyria's eyes grows in even further intensely and she breaks out of Bianca's psychic hold. Bianca dodges Illyria's kick and falls to the floor. Bianca raises the gun and fires; her unprepared shot missing Illyria's head and digging into her shoulder.

Illyria cries out again and hits the floor. "You insolent..." Illyria fights to stand, but collapses again. If only I was at full power, Illyria laments in her mind.

"Glad to see that it hurts," Bianca observes collecting herself and standing up. "Now let's see if it kills." She aims the gun at Illyria's heart when a portal opens up beneath her and sucks her inside.

"Damn it," Bianca silently curses. She puts a hand to her head and then the room starts to spin. Her focus goes in and out and her nose also starts to bleed. Bianca falls to her knees, covering her bleeding nose.

"I'd say thanks for the save, but after that performance," Cole says dusting himself off.

"You're a fine one to talk about judging others on their first appearance, Balthazar," Bianca interrupts; wiping her nose clean.

"How do you know about Cole and how are you?" Wyatt questions her. "I died in the future, Chris came from, back in 2006. However, little me at the time was alive and that future never happened. So here I am, I'm and ex- LAPD," she answers; nose still dripping a little blood.
