Death and Destruction
It was a small planet orbiting a gas giant in Shi'ar controlled space. The small chunk of rock didn't have any remarkable features on it and it held no resources to be utilized. It was rather insignificant as planets went, but it had been the site of a significant battle in the fate of the universe.

Dead bodies littered the ground and a silver surf board was stuck point down in the ground. Smoke billowed from wrecked space craft and blood, human and alien alike, seeped into the fine dirt covering the surface of the planet. It seemed unfitting for this barren place to be the final resting place of some of the finest heroes in the universe.

There was a flash of light.

	"Not much," Natasha said. "Each one had a different area of control. Power. Time. Soul. Space. Mind. Reality. Each one is powerful by itself, but all six together is really bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She sees the scene and knows fewer faces then most, but...She found his bike. That's enough. That's not the worst of it though. "Can..." She clears her throat. "Someone able to call Last Rites? Ah can't no more and...It just ain't right not to do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dani noticed a familiar face lying amoung the bodies. "Daddy?" She dropped down to his side. She bit her lip, holding back tears. She looked over at Roxie. "Yeah...but I'm afraid I'm not qualified." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Patriot looks at the assembled heroes.

"The Avengers of this world have given their lives for this place. We can help them best by making sure their sacrifice isn't wasted... to make sure that someone's around to give them their rites." He puts a reassuring hand on Dani's shoulder. "We need to honor them... by doing the best we can."

He looks to Sarah. "What she said is just about the gist of the jewels," he notes, gesturing to Natasha.

Yes, he recognizes Tasha among the newcomers, just through her stance alone. He can't process her presence right now, not in these surroundings. He knows she doesn't know him, and as much as he wants to lean on her right now, he knows that wouldn't be fair to her -- or anyone else around here right now.

"Much as I hate to say it, folks, he's right. I don't think any of us is a priest... but we can make sure they're laid to rest properly. But right now, the person who killed them is loose. We have no idea of the status of the gems... but the situation can't be hopeless or over, or we wouldn't be here. I know most of you aren't used to working as a part of this team, anyway - but its obvious we're not going to get a lot of chance to take it easy on this one."

She sighs. Why can't this ever be easy? "I've been to worlds where most of these people and others are dead... or enemies. It never gets easier, and for the newcomers, I'm sorry you need to be part of this."

She's about to say more, try and get some assessment of these people, when a shadow falls over the area, then another, and another.

"We have company. Heads up."

	"I'm a godless Soviet," Natasha said. "I'll help dig graves though." She looked up at the ships now appearing over them. "This can't be good." Her faceplate closed and she readied her suit's limited offensive systems. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure it can be good," Kev says. "Maybe it's the cavalry." (Reply to this)(Parent)
