When Out On the Lawn There Arose Such a Clatter
Christmas. Yule. Saturnalia. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many cultures have celebrated and still celebrate a winter festival. There have been many names for it over the millennia. No matter the name it is a time to come together and celebrate with feasts and gifts with friends and loved ones.

Each culture has a legendary figure who would deliver gifts to children during this time. In Russia and some Slavic cultures he is known as Ded Moroz, Grandfather Frost, and comes not on Christmas but on New Year’s along with his granddaughter Snegurochka, or ‘”Snow Maiden”. In the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe he is known as Father Christmas. In the Netherlands and Belgium he is known as Saint Nicholas or “Sinterklaas” and in France he is known as Père Noël. In the United States we know him as Santa Claus.

No matter the name or who is delivering gifts, it is the season of peace, joy and togetherness. It is the season for thinking about loved ones, friends and those less fortunate. It is a time to witness the goodness and generosity the human race is capable of. It is a time for peace on Earth and goodwill toward man

The Avengers' Mansion was decorated and festive. Inside the Avengers celebrated Christmas Day. Outside there was a flash of light and six time and dimensionally displaced Avengers showed up.

	Svalin looked at the buckle and something tickled in the back of her mind but she couldn't put a finger on it. "Vernique doth say that the future you experience whilst time traveling ist usually not the one you get. There ist a chance I may not be thy mother but only a different version."

	"That's kind of what I'm assuming, yes. Just because the local version met a version of my father doesn't at all mean you will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mayhap and it ist probably best to think of it that way. It doth hurt the brain less. Not that having someone like thou for a son wouldst be a bad thing, quite the opposite, but it ist something that I ne'er think wilt be for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His teammates would probably find the reaction odd. He doesn't laugh often. Right now, though, he does just that. "Fitting. You sound just like Momone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It doth sound like she ist a wise woman. I like her already," Svalin said before she laughed a little. "Good Yule, Solver Svalinsson." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gud Yule, M... Svalin. As strange as it is, I'm glad you were able to make it here for the holiday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-12-26 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"I art glad as well. It ist good to be with friendly faces and the Avengers for Yule if we cannot be home." She looked at the fortress in the distance. It was a bit sobering, but the time to deal with that problem would come soon enough. "Earlier thou mentioned mead. It ist time for mead and tales of thy adventures and tales of the Avengers adventures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I did indeed. We can head downstairs and rejoin the others. Hopefully some of them have also had a chance to get acquainted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2010-12-26 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Svalin smiled and nodded. "Aye. It wouldst make things easier if they know each other. A day of rest with sort-of-family wilt be good for all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Solver grins. "I'll be sure to do so when she returns. She will be most displeased she missed you. I don't believe she encounters anyone who knows as much about shoes as she does very often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-12-26 06:00 am UTC (link)
	She grins. "It's a heavy responsibility, being this styling." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin shook her head and continued on downstairs leaving them to talk if they wanted to talk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So...are you a full-time god and hero, or are you going to college? If you don't mind my asking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lastscion 2010-12-27 07:40 am UTC (link)
	"I finished college studies when I was 11. I have three degrees. Nothing compared to Miranda or some of the other brains here, but since I completed the Asgardian rites of adulthood, I've been heroing full time, aside from time spent doing my duties as a warrior of Asgard."

	"Eleven. Wow. Yes, I realize you're not a Vernard, but that's just as well. Lab types don't tend to do the heavy lifting. Well, you're impeccably dressed, you're okay at understatement, and I'm sure you obliterate things just fine. Looks like your moms did a good job... It...seems like you're not like your Uncle Hal, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lastscion 2010-12-27 07:56 am UTC (link)
	"I don't think anyone is Uncle Hal except Uncle Hal. That's probably a good thing, really. Your alternate and Momone - well, I couldn't ask for better mothers. As for the impeccably dressed... well, we have company. Momtwo would have my head if we received important other dimensional visitors and I didn't look up to the occasion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-12-27 08:03 am UTC (link)
	She smiles. "Damn straight. I'm not reading too much into this, of course, Kang's Laws of Time, and all that, and the jerk oughtta know, but it's hard to imagine settling down. Surprising to think your Momone didn't ask one of her Asgardian friends, who'd know more about proper divine upbringings anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lastscion 2010-12-27 08:15 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I was just talking to Svalin about that. What happened here isn't necessarily going to happen to you guys. Still, the similarities are startling. Momtwo said she always had trouble picturing settling down...and for a long time, she didn't, exactly. She says that accepting the proposal was as much like a job application as a financial actuary as a marriage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2010-12-27 08:24 am UTC (link)
	She grins. "Well, any me would be best for that, certainly." Suddenly she looks more solemn. "So how are you taking this allergy thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Its... disturbing. Its... hard to explain."

He considers for a moment. "Its not that I have a problem with being hurt. There are some things that can, and have done that. The Hulk, Hyperion, the Void, Loki... its more that, well, not being able to do anything while the world suffers. Kang can do anything he wants, and has done so, ever since he showed up, and for once, there's been no way to even resist. Its not that the Avengers, the X-Men, and others aren't powerful. They are. But a lot of them have been more focused on stopping natural disasters, humanitarian work... there's... not very many super villains any more, hasn't been for a few years. I'm fine with a tough fight... I'm not used to not being able to fight at all."

	She listens carefully and nods. "Well, you come by that honestly enough, but I'm sure you've heard enough stories about Lady I-Dothn't-have-to-rest-It-wilt-heal before. But it must be frustrating. We'll think of something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
