Description

Physical appearance

Hailey wore a coat. Her eyes sometimes glowed when she was emotionally agitated, (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance Sought) and her red hair started literally flaming when she called upon her full powers. (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance)

Powers & abilities

Hailey was a skilled mage, well-versed in the techniques developed by the Neo-Atlanteans. She once displayed the ability to shrink the elemental Prince Ozarion into a ball of energy with the help of Matthias Geist, despite it having apparently been her first encounter with a sapient elemental like him. She could also summon a “flame dragon” called Puff at will (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance Sought) and ride him through the air. She could also summon balls of fire and create crystal prisons out of thin air. (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance)

Biography

Hailey was mentored by PhyreFrost alongside Coil, Blue Tide and SilverStar.

Prior to Emily, alias Ms. Blitzen, 's fight with Kate Five, Hailey had never met any Neo-Atlanteans in person other than Emily, though she'd also heard second-hand descriptions of Matthias Geist from Emily. (PROSE: Angel Falls: Vengeance Sought)

When Ms. Blitzen landed in hospital after her disastrous fight with the Symbiote-possessed Kate Five, she was visited by Hailey Storm, as well as by the delegation of Section P, with Sir James Carey trying to get more detail out of her about Kate's new powers. Furious at what had happened to her friend, Hailey briefly started a row with Sir Carey, blaming him for not having warned Blitzen more clearly about what she was up against; however, Blitzen's mentor PhyreFrost took his defence, blaming himself instead.

Before long, Emily was also joined by Blue Tide, Coil and SilverStar. Additionally, her elemental familiar Ozarion, currently aboard the Nyhshea Eternal, dry-docked on the continent of Atlantis, felt her distress through their telepathic link and bounded across the world to join her in the form of a bolt of lightning, ridden by Neo-Atlantean medical officer, and Matthias's brother-in-law, Rhomerho Kel Llurian. As a mage who could sense the magical power running through both, she was fascinated by Rhomerho's prismatic armour and by Ozarion. Later, after getting some rest in her room, she joined Rhomerho, Matthias, Hailey and Ozarion on a rooftop near the Angel Falls police headquarters and agreed it was time to begin their hunt for the alien creature who had injured Emily. After making sure the call would not be intercepted by the authorities, Ozarion contacts Navatu, the A.I. interface of Rhomerho's ship the Nyhshea Eternal, asking him to track their movements remotely just in case something goes wrong.

The group found Kate's trail easily enough, but also felt that two other presences had been to the crime scene before them: junior heroes Novastar and Wyldchild, whom they had to catch up with and confront before they continued their hunt. Though Geist gave the two a strongly-worded dressing-down, they couldn't afford to escort the wayward youths back to HQ and let the trail go cold, so they agreed to let the join the possé.

Meanwhile, Kate had been attempting to replenish her and the symbiote's strength, devouring multiple homeless people she found in the alleyways of a decaying industrial area by the coastline. However, she didn't find enough nutrients to allow the symbiote to regenerate more than the covering of her arm. She was testing out what she could do with that alone when she was cornered by the four avengers, who had been joined by Wyldechild and Novastar. What followed was not so much a battle as a one-sided beatdown as the symbiote-possessed human was hit with a blast of Ozarion's electricity, then a fireball from Hailey, then a point-blank shot from Rhomerho's arcane shotgun which “literally” melted the symbiote's “molecular structure” off her arm, and finally got knocked off the roof by joint “force blasts” from Wyldechild and Novastar.

Before Kate could get away, she was cornered by the avengers. Despite the others' uncertainty with the extent of his wrath, Matthias insisted on getting further revenge on the defeated Kate, inflicting terrible pain on her through the symbiote using the vibratastones embedded in his left gauntlet, as well as another set of supernatural gems through which he channelled the heat of a volcano, and finally stabbing Kate with his energy blade in the same spot where she'd stabbed Emily. Only then, he calmed down, admitting that he went too far and that “his wives” would be disappointed in him. He left Kate with one final threat of even worse vengeance if she should harm his loved ones again, but refrained from killing her, leaving the others to take her into custody while he stomped off. Hailey quickly encased what remains of the symbiote in a crystal sphere, leaving the wounded Kate human and defenceless once again; she was soon delivered to British authorities ready to transport her back to the UK.
