Standing Among Gods (Defenders)

Franklin had talked about the prospect of moving in with the Defenders with his parents. They reacted as he thought they would, but they eventually saw his side of the issue. He figured it was, in part, because both of his parents realized that there was nothing they could do to stop him from doing what he felt was best.

Sydney, the den mother, had been informed before Franklin arrived. He had been given her e-mail address prior to leaving, in order to contact her about when he was going to arrive. Of course, it wasn't guaranteed that he was moving in with them. The visit was just to see how he vibed with the Defenders. If they had problems with him being there, it wasn't going to happen.

That being said, Franklin doubled-checked himself before knocking on the door to the main building.

	Since no one else was around to answer the door Eiltin sped to it to answer the door. He was dressed as he usually was in just a loin cloth. Ruarc was also with him. “Hello,” He said, “Can I help you with something.” (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hi," Franklin replied. This guy must have been one of the Gods running around. Cool tattoos. "My name's Franklin Richards. I'm here to talk about potentially moving in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-12-11 01:48 am UTC (link)
	“I am Eiltin,” He says looking him over, “I am not entirely certain I am the one to talk to about that but I can most certainly get someone who would be better to talk to.” He could tell Franklin wasn’t a threat by how Ruarc was reacting to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks, that would be great." He noticed the...animal. "Oh, you guys are allowed to have pets?" Yup. That was that. If he was allowed to live here, he was bringing Puppy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-12-11 02:07 am UTC (link)
	“He’s not a pet,” Eiltin says patting the pony sized dog on the head, “He’s a skilled warhound and friend.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I see," Franklin replied. "That's pretty cool. I just have Puppy. He's a super-powered alien dog that my Uncle Johnny got me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-12-11 02:21 am UTC (link)
	“Interesting,” Eiltin said, “Ruarc’s a Cú Faoil I’ve had since I was seven back when he was a puppy I could hold in one arm.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 02:28 am UTC (link)
	"I had Puppy since I was six," Franklin replied. "But I could never hold him in one arm. Uncle Ben couldn't even do that." Then he chuckled, remembering the hi-jinx between Puppy and Uncle Ben. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Sounds like an interesting animal,” Eiltin says. Ruarc also seemed interested too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Ruarc is a divine hound,” Eiltin says, “He’ll probably live longer than me and can tell a person’s intentions on sight.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"That's...really smart. His is instinct, right? I could tell peoples' intentions if I wanted to pry into their brains, but I prefer not to be rude unless it's a really bad situation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"That's pretty cool, and thanks. That actually part of the reason why I'm here--my powers have been going awry lately. Either that, or something happens that sends me over the edge." He wasn't very proud of that, and it showed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“That does not sound good,” Eiltin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not at all," Franklin agreed. "Do you know where Ms. Ashcroft is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-12-11 03:27 am UTC (link)
	“No but I can found her in a moment ,” Eiltin said before running off at super speed to find her leaving Ruarc with Franklin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-12-11 04:21 am UTC (link)
	Syd had been in the library working on a paper for her history class. Finals were next week and the paper was due tomorrow. When Eiltin came in to tell her Franklin was here, she set it aside and went out to talk to him. "Hello," she said when she entered the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"Hello," he replied with a smile and an extended hand. "You must be Ms. Ashcroft. It's nice to meet you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-12-11 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Eiltin followed behind Syd. He didn’t have much to say at the moment and let them talk. Ruarc walked over to his side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-12-11 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Syd took the offered hand. "Indeed I am. You must be Franklin. Welcome to the Defenders compound." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've only ever heard about some of the things the Asgardians here do. Vincent Amorason liked to talk about his Asgardian side a little too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-12-11 05:10 am UTC (link)
	"I've only met him once, but our Asgardians are not like him. I would suggest not talking about him much. There is bad blood and it is best not to stir up the natives." She smiled. "Before you ask, yes, we did get a lifetime ban from Disneyland. That is true." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 05:24 am UTC (link)
	"I know what you mean, there." And then Franklin's jaw dropped. What? "What? How? How did they possibly get banned from Disneyland? Does that include Disney World?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-12-11 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"It's a long story, but it involved a spell going awry and a lot of damage. I don't know if it includes Disney world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 05:37 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that sounds like him. Mine involves abandonment and Theft of Name. But... that is probably not the best thing to talk about right now. And, I'm definitely going to find out if it involves Disney World. That is the better of the two that are in the United States, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-12-11 05:41 am UTC (link)
	"Oh I'm sorry. Mr. Amorason had nothing to do with the events at Disneyland. That was Ohu." She smiled. "I've never been to Disney World. My daughter Zoey has been bugging me to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 05:44 am UTC (link)
	"Oh..." Awkward... "Well, Disney does owe favors to the Richard family. I could always ask Mom and Dad about letting you and your daughter go there. Maybe not the whole Defenders team, though. I don't want to get banned from Disney World." He chuckled at that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-12-11 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"It's okay," she said. "Thank you, but it will be okay. Zoey will get there eventually. Whenever she gets over being grounded." "What can I do for you, Mr. Richards?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2010-12-11 05:53 am UTC (link)
	Oh...grounded. Poor girl. Anyway, Franklin moved with the topic of discussion. "Well, umm... I'm sure you've already gotten the call from Tony Stark about my, uh, situation. I guess I'm just here to see if I vibe with you all, and if you all are willing to let me move in here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Passing by in the hall, Marlow heard 'move in' and stopped to peer inside and see who was talking to Sydney. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope the rest of the team is as easy going as Eiltin," Franklin replied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-12-12 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	Eiltin had been politely staying out of the conversation giving Franklin and Sydney some privacy to talk. He had been scratching Ruarc’s head talking to him in ancient Celtic. He looked up when he heard his name said though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are for the most part, but you do have to be careful with certain things. Like for instance don't insult the Asgardians or their family. The results would be bad."

"Duly noted," he replied, about the Asgardians.

"I totally understand where you're coming from. Tony told me a little about the few mortals living here. And I completely understand that your daughter is your biggest concern. I still think, though, that this is the safest place for me to be. Your daughter has more protection with the Gods and other superpowers around here than the thousands of children her age do in New York, or any other part of the world."

	"But not all of us on the team are of the super-powered variety, Mr Richards," Griffen says in a brisk tone. He too had heard this. He's actually dressed up today. He had been in a meeting with his adviser and had wanted to look his best instead of like a mad scientist. "And my mother lives here too. We need to be certain that everyone is safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Franklin was caught off guard by what Griffen had said. It was true that not everyone was super-powered, of course. But they were the Defenders for a reason.

"Super-powered or not, all of the Defenders are capable of holding their own and defeating very powerful threats. The few normal humans who live here are more secure than the many who live wherever else I could go."

Syd was a little surprised at Griffen's sudden appearance in the room. She hadn't seen or heard him come in.

"While I do agree that the Defenders can handle a lot of things and I can see the reasoning behind Mr. Stark's decision to suggest being out here, I do have concerns. With those in mind, I suggest a probationary period of a few months. At the end of the period we will re-evaluate the situation and go from there."
