The lie-smith had drawn lots with the lady of strife, and they'd each chosen a handful of targets. Loki had, of course, cheated. His hobby and his grandson were too amusing to leave to chance. His favored granddaughter might feel some of the sting of this game, but all that he did served the greater Loki, which was what mattered in the end.

These days would be most amusing.

	Halbjorn leaps after it, swinging the axe in a downward arc as he goes, the fruit cart exploding under the impact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	An odd smell issues forth as the beast bleeds. It swings its head and strikes true this time. Halbjorn will feel the pain, pushing him closer to his breaking point, but somehow, his blood does not spill. Sirens approach once again, as the beast thrashes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn tenses, expecting the rush of pain and smell of blood, and finds it missing. But it still dared attack him. Halborn lowers his shoulder and rushes, trying to drive it through the nearest wall. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And a motor-oil and fruit juice spattered Halbjorn will smash through the wall into the shower room of a women's yoga studio. The ox is gone, and a few panicked patrons flee into the other parts of the studio, confusion and fear stirring the populace outside.

There is no mark on Halbjorn, and neither track nor scent of the beast. A fruit cart and a car are mangled, an unconscious driver behind the wheel of the latter.

	This is getting perplexing. The absence of the beast, for the second time, might push him over, save for the sudden change of venue. The presence of, well, the expected scenery in a women's shower room is enough to shock his mind into something less than seeing red, though the panic isn't helping. "Monster! Where art thou?! Come and face thy death!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The few remaining civilians have fled, and sirens are getting closer. There is no trace that any beast was ever there, only Halbjorn's own rampage. This is not a good place for him to be found. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With a snarl of annoyance, he leaps towards the rooftops to continue his search as he heads in the direction of home in leaps and bounds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The next few hours will pass in relative peace, letting the bear-sark begin to let his rage and battle-lust subside. Plenty of time for some training to let out the excess energy. Internet and radio chatter is already in a whirl, talking about the hero and actor's violent breakdown. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-08-23 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Halbjorn just hits the training area, never much of a fan of the media, despite his acting career, more concerned about where the monsters went than any chatter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There is a rumbling, and then a flash of light, as a massive bestial figure then towers over Halbjorn. "Enough sport..." Fenris rumbles. "Now you die, Thor-spawn." And the wolf rushes in with jaws wide. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-08-23 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	Finally, a foe worthy of taking his frustrations with this day out on. Halbjorn roars a challenge back and rushes at Fenris. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2011-08-23 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	The Odinfiend raises an leg, letting Halbjorn's axe sink into it, unconcerned with such little wounds, as he then grapples with his jaws, before flinging the warriors across the yard. The wolf licks his lips. "Had I known thy blood was so tasty, dear cousin, I would have come for thee sooner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-08-23 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	The taunting does not help matters. "Come then, howe'er thou got free - thou wilt find the Bear of Asgard no easy meal!" He rushes again, savoring the rush of a challenge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The two continue to clash, blood and bits of flesh beginning to fly, as the fight draws closer to the compound. "Is this all you have, tooth-gnasher? if you cannot make better sport, perhaps I should return to the Golden Realm... yes... your sister, fat with her bastard child, would be succulent.."

	And that is /it/. With one more howl of rage, there's no more sign of intelligence in his eyes, and the bear-sark lunges at his target, going through everything in his way to get there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The father of wolves meets the charge head on, and the two go tumbling across the yard. They crash into the building, leaving a swathe of destruction that takes out kitchen, living room, and even the bedchambers of one particularly beloved tiny mortal, before the wolf regains solid footing.

"This is not your world, bear-sark! What place is there for you here? Come home with the other monsters...." A blood-scented roar issues forth, seeming to hammer at Halbjorn's blood-soaked mind more than his ears.

And the beast is no more. As the sun sets, there is no hair, nor blood, nor any trace of the monster. The berserker is left standing alone in the wreckage, little flames licking here and there from the damage to the kitchen. A stuffed Super Buddies doll lies under his heel.

	Unfortunately, that's not yet it, even. The axe lashes out, again and again. At the flames, at the shadows, anything daring to move, leveling everything around until the world is still. Then, and only then, he begins to come back to his senses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It isn't long after the fiasco that SHIELD arrives, the Defenders' liason taking point, putting out calls to any other team members. "Halbjorn!" She calls from what is analyzed to be a safe distance. "We're going to need you to come with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-08-28 03:42 am UTC (link)
	He's out of the rage, and exhausted, but none too happy still. "The beast fled, the danger ist past." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_shield 2011-08-28 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	Alana steels herself. "Halbjorn, there was no 'beast'. We've had you under surveillance since the initial reports from the studio about your episode. Something is wrong with you; come with us and let us help you." There is a faint hum from behind her as a few agents prime their weapons. They've come in full preparation for confronting him, and then some. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-08-28 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	He tenses at the sound of weapons. Entirely the wrong way to persuade him to do anything. "There hath been monsters threatening. I know not what fell sorcery hid them from thine mortal eyes, but I know well what I saw. Test me not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's going on here?" Syd demanded as she caught wind of SHIELD showing up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Franklin came in from above, taking a survey of the damage. He didn't know what was going on, but it looks like he arrived just a little too late. Instead of asking any questions, he let Sydney deal with them. He'd be there for backup purposes, if needed. Sometimes SHIELD could get a little pushy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_shield 2011-08-29 12:51 am UTC (link)
	Alana is relieved that some of the other Defenders are showing up, but tries to remain composed. "Halbjorn has been experiencing some sort of violent hallucinations. He destroyed a film set, a building in town, and several cars, and now your compound. We need to take him into custody." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_genius 2011-08-29 12:53 am UTC (link)
	"Just to make a suggestion," Franklin spoke up. "I'm probably better equipped to deal with that than SHIELD, if it came down to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
