Dawn of a New Defender
Dawn Roberts, librarian, had not been having a good week. There had been the abduction, and then there had been the nightmares and freakout at work, along with a very perplexing change in her eye color. And now, after a night of even stranger dreams, she'd discovered she'd sleep-walked all night and found herself in front of the Defenders' Compound, just as the sun was coming up.

She looked around nervously, feeling pain in her feet and calves from having walked so much without even knowing it.

Should she? Something had brought her here. But what on Earth would involve a nobody like her with a team of super-heroes and gods? She was probably well beneath their notice.

She hesitated, then reached out and touched the buzzer on the gate.

	Syd just kept quiet. She was just a mere mortal along for the ride. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu, too, kept quiet, merely eating his stew. This was not his story to tell. He was merely its facilitator. Plus, the stew was tasty! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thor nods, considering. "Mine apologies, Miss Roberts. Thou hast been drawn into something beyond thy ken. For mine people, things doth not happen by accident, and it mayst be the Norns decided mine daughter had lessons to learn that she needed thine aid with. What the Norns hath wrought, e'en the gods cannot easily undo... but we canst train thee some bit in thine new abilities and responsibilities, if thou wilt accept it?"

Oh yes, he's quite familiar with this story, three times over.

Well, it didn't look like she was going to get struck by a lightning bolt and turned into a crispy critter. That was a good thing.

On the other hand... Powers? Responsibilities? She was a librarian for Pete's sake. She wasn't a hero.

"I... I don't know about any of this. This is all way beyond me."

She frowned, took a deep breath. "But I think if I don't do something, I might go nuts."

Another breath.

"I accept."

	"Is there anything special I need to do?" Syd asked. Totally new territory for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)
