Gott in Himmel, this was so weird. Rose had barely gotten a chance to introduce her to anyone yet, and she was already a bit bemused by the foreignness of it all.

But there was another familiar face, once she actually found him.

"Brad! So you <i>are</i> here!"

Anya felt like being home for the night. It wasn't that she didn't like Cambridge or her team, just once and awhile she needed to be home and be around her crazy family. Tonight was one of those nights. As soon as classes were over and she checked on the team, she suited up and rocketed home to New York.

She thought about going to see Steve, but tonight family was called for. She just hoped that Mom wasn't cranky and Dad was actually home. Otherwise it would be time with Brother Dork Two and Anya didn't feel like getting her ass kicked at video games all night.

It was around four-ish when she arrived at the penthouse and found Mom and Dad there. Thankfully she hadn't walked in on anything that would send her to see Doc Samson. Then again Anya had been certain to call ahead and ask Mom what they were doing for dinner tonight and weigh in with what she wanted. That was a clue that she was going to be there and adults needed to be dressed.

She spent some time catching up with Mom and explaining the SHIELD and SWORD mess and then went to find Dad. It had been awhile since she had some quality time with him and just sat down and talked. She missed him and missed talking to him on a regular basis.

Anya found him in the home office. She knocked lightly on the open door to get his attention.

The day to retake Camelot had finally come. Arthur's knights, lead by the Black Knight, rode out from their encampment. They were a force of three thousand strong. Armor gleamed in the light of the setting sun and off the sharp edges of swords and spears.

They rode for two hours before they came to a halt a few miles from Camelot.

Here a small group would split from the main body and carry out their mission while the rest would ride to besiege the castle.

Justin's phone got Misha's message not long after he sent it, but Justin had been busy seeing Tina off. Once she was headed off to work, Justin calls Misha back.

"Hey, I'm up to talk when you are. I'll be at the penthouse." Justin says, driving himself back there. Tina's apartment was too quiet without her.

He'll be waiting inside, working on one of his armor's gauntlets when Misha arrives.

DJ Whedon will receive a message asking him to meet with Julian around ten a.m. to discuss a favor of importance. He'll request that they meet in the boardroom at X-Factor Plaza on the third floor, and that DJ should come hungry.

When DJ arrives, Julian is there in one of his usual tailored suits, along with a pretty blond woman and two other men who look like scientists of some kind.

"DJ! Glad you could make it." Julian says cordially, getting up to shake his hand. "Before we get down to the reason for the meeting, I'd like to meet Dr. Jennifer Crane. These are her assistants, Miles and Warren.

There's food, of course, so please don't be shy. Let's all eat, and then we'll talk about why I asked you to stop by today." Julian says.
