A Strange Quest
Quinn had been thinking about the leprechaun incident and had a feeling it wouldn't be the last time he saw the little annoy creatures. Quinn's magic hadn't been effective and he had to know what to do the next time they came around. Maybe there was a spell or something that would work against them and their magic.

Quinn had to go to the one person who would know about this kind of stuff.

He teleported to 177A Bleecker Street in New York only to find it empty. He wondered where Dr. Strange was.

There was one person who may know. Quinn teleported out to the West Coast and arrived at the front gate of the Defenders.

"Dormammu." Melissa says instantly. She's well aware of the demon Dawn describes.

"Didn't know you guys tangled with him. He's in the heavyweight division as far as demons go. The next Sorcerer Supreme has to be ready to handle him and anyone else that walks into this dimension uninvited." Melissa says.

"What do you think about what Hat Boy over there said? You think we'd be better off with or without a Sorcerer Supreme? Would you risk yourself to in after Strange if you had to?" she asks.

"Well, I didn't do much," Dawn said. She didn't bother explaining that she'd had a panic attack, nearly died, and only gotten back into the fight by fully syncing her spirit with that of Asleif Thorsdottir.

She shook her head. "I really don't know. I'm not even sure I knew there was such a thing as a Sorcerer Supreme before today, let alone what one did. But, ah, if we have one, it's probably a pretty important thing. But then again, what if this Doctor Strange guy comes back tomorrow? Does he get the job back? Or do we just give him a gold watch, a handshake, and go with the new guy?"

She swallowed nervously. "But, ah, if we had to, I think I would. I'm pretty new at this magical thing... but yeah. I would. I mean, it sounds like this Strange guy's worth a whole lot more than me."

Though she'd be scared out of her mind and probably not achieve anything. "But if it meant the world was safer because of what I did... yeah."

The lack of confidence was definitely a downer, but Melissa is sure there's a warrior-babe in Dawn just looking for a reason to get out. She's a /librarian/, right? They're like, the poster children for closet naughtiness.

"What scares you so much, Dawnnie? Is it the hood? Or is it just the people here? You're as good as every one of them, I bet. This whole mysticism bit...it's intimidating at first. It's scary as all hell because you don't know what's around the next corner. Last week, it was a run-of-the-mill ghost who just need a little help getting back to the afterlife.

This week, it's probably an imp causing trouble. Next week, it's a demon lord who wants to devour your firstborn for crossing it. The point is, you can't let 'em see you sweat. You take the punches and roll with them. Every now and then, you'll get some freak that magic doesn't really help with. That's when you make sure you've got a good knife or gun handy to help said person with their breathing problems." Melisa tells her.

"Do you know how to use a gun?" Hood asks.

Dawn shook her head. "It all pretty much scares me. Magic's gotten me killed, more or less, twice."

Once when those cultists had tried to sacrifice her and Asleif had accidentally incinerated her with magical blowback, and one when she'd been zapped by Dormamu.

She got better.

"I used to be normal. And then all of sudden, I'm dealing with all this craziness, and Asgardians, who are awesome, but are kinda crazy to and I'm pretty sure that the world could have ended with Dormamu and the big flaming Norse monster and..."

she stopped herself. Babbling again.

"But no, I don't know how to use a gun." Granted, she could throw a car around if she had to, so between that and magic, not much need.

"You look like you got better. Way better." the Hood says, giving Dawn the once over. "I know what you mean. My old man got in bad with a demon and it caught up with him. But the demon tortured my big sister first, as a lesson." she says.

"You're cute when you babble, but you should learn to use a gun. Never know when magic might not be the solution to everything."

	Dawn was barely used to the kind of attention her new physical attributes brought her from men, let alone receiving much attention from women. "That's... that's horrible," she said quietly. "I'm sorry." She swallowed. "Maybe. I've got a couple Asgardians teaching me how to fight, if that's worth anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I'm sorry it happened, too." Hood says, the first time the discordant voice has sounded anything close to pensive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She knew the others didn't trust this one, and her own sense of creepy was going off... but this was an oddly human moment here. "I just don't want to see what happened to either of us happen to anyone else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"My old man always told me that there were two kinds of people in life, Dawn: victims and perpetrators. If you don't want to be the first, you better get damn good at bein' the second." Hood says, looking up at Dawn with those crimson eyes hidden inside the shadows of the cloak.

"I'm here because I'm never gonna be anyone's victim again, or let someone choose how I live. Everyone here has a different reason they won't or can't do the job and that's fine. I just hope they aren't so focused on my appearance that they miss the fact that I'm willin' to step up when everyone else is steppin' back." she finishes.

"Enjoy your coffee, hottie." the Hood says, going back to her corner.

A life view Dawn immensely disagreed with, though she admitted to herself that she'd spent entirely too much time as the victim. She needed to take charge of her life. She was on the damn council of magical... people on Earth here. Time to put on her big girl panties.

Weird. There was something not right about the Hood, and yet... Dawn wondered if anyone else had ever actually sit back and listened to her before.

Dawn was about to ask if she'd wanted some, before she'd walked off.

Well.

She had a lot to think about.
