So Beron's suggestion IMMEDIATELY pays off lmao

Azrael steps out of the gateway into the Mortal realm onto Montrose Beach, where Bahram lays pathetically on the sand. AZRAEL: "Nikita..." Bahram opens his eyes, shocked, and stares up at Azrael for a moment before cracking of fanged grin. BAHRAM: "Well, well, well... Look who it finally is... A RAT!!!" He sits up suddenly and hurls a fiery ball of red light in attack at Azrael. It goes right through him, but Azrael freezes, wide eyed and catching his breath as one hand touches his chest where the attack would have hit him. Bahram rolls his eyes and moves to stand up. BAHRAM: "Or a projection. Of course. Why did I think you would actually come? You spineless fool."
