Michelle is being both suspicious and very forgetful.

Final tally, folks, last chance to place your bets. On one hand, as Alex said, Vera took a beating for them; at the very least she's aware that she'll never get the credit she deserves in Dis. (I have no doubt that the Grimm boys showed their true opinion of Vera.) Also, she's right: she could already have betrayed them many times over. On the other hand, as a shade escort, she could have been the one to arrange Michael's escape, indicating an extremely long-range planning capacity. (Yes, the majority of the plot in the comic might trace back to Vera.) Also, if this step is meant to exhaust Michelle, that means Vera needs fewer allies to secure the capture. Fewer allies means fewer demons to screw Vera over. To a true chess-master, this might be worth taking a beating. Final estimation: They're going to have to trust Vera. After all what else can they do? Hang out in Dis waiting for a more plausible-sounding demon to whisk them away? Vera remains their best choice -- because all the others stink!

One last thing: I can't help but be enraptured with the idea of a slightly younger Vera coming across the image in this alley, and hopelessly, desperately dreaming that someday it would turn into a REAL hell-mouth and be her ticket to a better world. (Cue a "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" style song titled "Anywhere Else but Here")

🎜 Somewhere Into the hellmouth I must go. Somewhere into that hellmouth as long as it's not Soho.🎜

🎜 Someday I'll find a Sphinx to use And leave all this smoke and refuse far behind me. Where shadows melt with break of day There is a place to get away From those who'd bind me. 🎜 🎜 Somewhere into the hellmouth Dragons fly. Other demons use the hellmouths Why, then, oh why, can't I? 🎜

There is a third option available, if Bloodcarver stops to think of possibilities, For him and Michelle to pool their energies to to open the hellmouth without Vera.

But do they know how to do it? Bloodcarver may know how to "project" his energies, but I don't think Michelle does...

I wonder if this goes to Wonderland? Maybe that's where the Jabberwocky came from? Can't wait to see Vera open this up (it's gotta work!)
