Forging the Sword
The half moon was hazy behind high cirrus clouds and the air had a slight chill to it. The night around Braddock Manor was still and quiet, but it wouldn't last. A portal opened and demons poured out along with the stench of brimstone. They headed directly for the manor house.

Ripples of magic spread out from the center. Fire cut through the darkness. Demonic screams and roars shattered the silence.

When it was over Braddock Manor lay in smoldering ruins and there were no signs of the residents.

For a moment Quinn thought it was his head spinning because of the alcohol, but then he realized he hadn't even sipped the beer he had just opened. No this wasn't an alcohol induced hallucination, but something else.

He reached out with his awareness and felt the ripples in the magical energies. Something big was happening.

Quinn sat down on the floor and closed his eyes. His astral form separated from his body and he started to follow the ripples back to the source.

His trip took him to England. He stopped when he saw the smoldering ruins of Braddock Manor. While it wasn't his Braddock Manor, it still hit close to home. Quinn flew back to his body.

Once he was back in his body, he teleported to Braddock Manor. He would find out who did this.

Inside a cottage near the cliffs of Dunquin Casey laid on his bed nursing a hangover. Not many people would suspect that the simple cottage was the home of Molly Fitzgerald-Flynn the world famous hairstylist and Sean Flynn the writer behind one of Ireland’s most popular soap operas. Casey had not been home in almost a eight months and his parents were happy to have him back for a while though his mom was already starting to get at him about figuring what he was going to do next. His lads were also happy to have him back which was why Casey had the hangover when his ma came into his room to talk to him.

She told him that something bad had happened at the Braddock Manor, while she wasn’t particularly a fan of Captain Britain, Meggan had been a long time customer of her’s and a supporter of her retiring. Since Casey wasn’t really doing anything she wanted him to go and see if he could find out what had happened and help if he could. While Casey didn’t particularly want to go Molly was a master of the guilt trip and had Casey agree to go.

Casey left as fast as he could and as a joke wearing a shamrock t-shirt for the nearest airport where Molly had gotten a private jet waiting for him probably through pulling a few old strings. He would be able to be at the Braddock manor in a few hours.

A few hours later, Quinn was using his magic to lift up pieces of the rubble to see if Brian was trapped anywhere in there. He wanted to make sure alt-Dad was not buried under the rubble.

Being in England made this so much easier. His magic was strongest in England and he did this task with little effort. He worked with the local law enforcement and rescue people to help clear away the rubble.

It always took Casey a bit longer than most to clear customs just because his grandpa was a major player for the IRA even though his ma was an outspoken advocate for peace. Casey final got into his rental car and made the drive to the Braddock manor.

He had used his gift to talk his way past most of the low-level cops and had started chatting up the more upper level members of law enforcement. Casey was able to get information out of them easily but most of it didn’t tell him anything he didn’t already know.

This was taking way too long. Doing this piecemeal wasn't getting them anywhere and if Brian was trapped under there....

Quinn rose up into the air and hovered over the rubble. Using the full might of his magic, which at this point was quite considerable, he started to levitate all of the rubble at once.

"Do your searches," he called down to the gathered people. "I will hold this."

That was impressive even Casey had to admit that. Casey would probably try talking to the guy imitation Captain Britain costume once he had finished up with levitating the rubble of the fallen building. But for now Casey kept talking to people and was in the process of finding out if there as much information as he could. Though he was trying to do this while keeping a bit of a low profile since he wasn’t supposed to be there and being an Irishman related to the IRA at the site of what appeared to be the bombing of a prominent English home would not look good for him.

	Sophie heard about the Braddock Manor and just wanted to help. Granted she was ready for anything new after her own bad news. Letting her rejection letter from RISD fall out of her hands she ran to find out if anyone else was going. "Dmitri, want some help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, Sophie. Help would be nice. Tamara- Braddock Manor has been destroyed. We're going to go help with any efforts for rescue and calming the crowds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quinn hovered a few feet off the ground in a lotus position. His eyes were closed and he used his magic to try to make sense of the magical residue lingering around the grounds. Slowly and methodically he moved. He didn't want to miss a single thing. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	From a not too far away spot, Jenny watched the two men intently from her vantage place under a tree. She couldn't see identifying features, but their actions made her curious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dmitri approached Casey, seeing that Quinn was busy. "Are you two in charge here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Well I’m not, I think the English couldn’t stand to talk orders from someone like me,” Casey said with his clearly Irish accent, “ and I don’t think he’s in charge either. But we do seem to be mostly like to figure out what happen here.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Joe had the radio on as he tinkered with a particularly tricky light socket. Something about Braddock Manor? "Hey, Leech, did you catch what they just said?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Braddock Manor. Some kind of accident...or something. It's in ruins, and they don't know where the Braddocks are." Leech is concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Casey let out a sigh; he was not sure what he had gotten himself into but he wasn’t going to turn around now and he was trusting that his luck would hold for him. “I’m about as ready as I can be for this.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
