You Pick Up The Pieces, and Put Things Back Together (backdated)
After Jennifer Kale had confirmed that Vincent's experiment was not the cause of the unusual situation, they'd moved on to the Sorcerer Supreme. After a cursory examination of Vincent and the magical imprint left upon him, Strange seemed oddly amused by the turn of events, considering it's rather benign tone overall.

"This cannot be allowed to stand indefinitely, however. I should be able to perform a spell of soul-mending, which should rectify the problem. We'll need the true cause of this, however..." He steps away from his fellow mages, and Kristoff, and conjures a portal.

"Quinn. Come here now. I have some questions for you." When an individual could raise as much trouble as that one could, it behooved Strange to keep a feeler out as to his location.

	Quinn got the summons and sighed. It was just a matter of time until the Strange in this world caught up to him. He dropped a kiss on the cheek of the woman next to him and climbed out of bed. He conjured his uniform and then opened a portal. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Strange waited until his guest composed himself, then folded his arms. "Would you happen to know anything about the condition currently afflicting Mister Vernard and a number of other... complicated individuals?" He gestured to the Fantastic Four member, trusting Quinn to deduce the particulars for himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Allow me to illustrate." A few gestures from Strange, and Vincent's soul becomes visible over his body, like a halo. It is cleanly bisected.

"This has happened to Mister Vernard and a number of others, and I felt a link back to you, or at least to something instigated by you."

He eyes Quinn. "Have you upset anyone la-- let me rephrase. Have you upset anyone of significant magical power lately?"

Titan

Vincent reappears inside the containment chamber for Titan. The restraint system is impressive enough, but just a cursory glance at the security surrounding it is enough to deem it laughable.

Most likely no-one assumed anyone would want to free a Hulk.

"Alright..." He speaks up, already disabling the restraints. "I'm here to get you put back together. Don't make this take any longer than it already has."

The last lock unsecures, and Titan is free.

Titan barely recalls the number of days since he was separated from the puny man called Walters. He can barely piece together the events since then, but at least one included a fight with his cousin.

Over time, all that mattered to him faded away, including his thoughts of the dark-haired woman who treated him like more than a monster, like a person. He was barely able to say her name a few days ago as the men with guns and electric sticks attacked him, hurting him and making him angry.

Titan was no longer sure how long he'd been cooped up in this cage, a prisoner to puny men he could crush if they didn't use their foul magics against him. When he was free, he would crush them all.

And suddenly...someone is talking at him. No.

Talking /to/ him.

Titan doesn't fully understand the words anymore, but the tone, the way the puny man looks down upon him reminds him of how Walters treats him. Like an animal to be unleashed on command. Like Titan should be /honored/ to be worthy of his notice.

He treats Titan like he should kneel...and Titan does not kneel.

Vincent's thank you comes int the form of a large green fist connecting with his face.

"Leave...me...alone." he growls, advancing on the Latverian with deceptive speed for one of his size.

	It's only a defensive spell being raised in time that saves the now mortal spellcaster from severe trauma. As it is, he bounces off a wall, bleeding from his forehead. He barely has time to teleport away before the advance tramples over where he would have been. He arrives back in the Sanctum Sanctorum, a mess. "That... went poorly."

Titan - Part 2

"Now..." A restored Vincent Vernard speaks, having already thanked Quinn and Strange for their assistance. "There is a rampaging beast, imbued with divine force, ready and capable of destroying anything in it's path..

I need to go pick up another one." He smiles, gives a reassuring nod to Kristoff and Andrea, bows to his magical seniors, and is off again. His target this time is one of only a handful of such magical signatures in the world, so it's easy to find.

"Lord Halbjorn, I have need of your aid."

	Halbjorn is definitely easy to find, both with mundane and magical senses. Subtlety is not one of his qualities. "Oh? and what need hast thou of the Bear of Asgard?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Titan - Part 2 quitethecharmer 2011-04-13 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent provides the extreme short-hand version of the magical incident. "And thus we have an incredibly brutal and unchecked force on the loose, with only a small chance of survival to be expected in bringing him in." A smile tugs at his lips. "My childhood memories are dim, but I believe they are the sort of odds Asgardians cannot resist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
