The Battle for Everything (Sept 22nd-23rd)
Asgard. The Golden Realm. The Realm Eternal. One of the nine worlds. Home of the Norse gods. Darkness covered the land and the realm's inhabitants had retired for the evening. Peace and quiet had fallen over a land frequently subjected to strife and violence.

A blinding light shattered the darkness and Kang and his followers materialized from the portal. Kang took a second to survey the scene. The reshaping of worlds started here. Tonight he would have the one who would be a thorn in his side decades from now. Tonight gods would fall and die and the babe would be his. The last weapon to be collected and one that would help him reshape worlds in Kang's image.

"Kill them all," Kang said to his gathered forces collected from various worlds from various points in time.

The ones that had given the so-called-heroes the most problems. The new Mandarin, son of the former, at the height of his power before he made the mistake of getting involved with the Stark girl. Apocalypse plucked from time just before his defeat at the hands of the X-Men, X-Factor and the Avengers. Hyperion the titan of myth plucked from time before his defeat at the hands of heroes. These joined the deviants he grabbed before their defeat and a being named Mongul.

"The babe being born this night is mine," Kang said. The child would serve Kang and be the implement of Kang's will.

	"Go fetch a healer," she ordered Ragnfrior. "And bring them here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard2 2011-09-21 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Ragnfrior curses inwardly, but keeps up her sweet demeanor. "I will carry him if that's what it takes, milady, but we must away. The healers are busy at the front. He is moving and breathing... far better than many of our own warriors. Please, come away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin's face darkened a bit. Another contraction was starting and it was hard to keep a civil tongue with the pain and the situation. Her heart was in her throat because of Jon. "Then carry him and we wilt go. We shall seek safety in Lord Odin's hall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-09-21 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Vernique sees. "Breathe, hon." She slings the shield back onto her back and helps pick Jon up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ragnfrior nods, helping lift Jon, while quietly breathing words to her spell, to make them think they are going to Odin's Hall, while she leads them into hidden passages. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin grabbed Vigrfrior and it shifted into a staff which she used to lean on. The contraction was coming to a peak and the pain was getting more intense. She stopped walking and leaned on the staff for support. She tried to remember the breathing exercises that she learned in those classes with Vernique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Vernique mutters encouraging things as they go along. Eventually, she starts to get confused. To keep from getting lost in the past week or two, she'd used a modified tracking device hooked up to her shades to make a map of the city. And even though they were clearly walking toward the Hall, her shades were giving her a completely different direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alfrun/Ragnfrior fails to notice, because she's too busy casting a quiet spell to keep the Kryptonian asleep, not paying Vernique much mind for the second. Easy to overlook those mere mortals. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin moved as fast as she could, which wasn't fast at all. The contractions were getting closer and closer together and more painful as they went. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-09-21 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Either her shades were malfunctioning or... Ragnfrior was whispering. Vernique slips between Svalin and Ragnfrior, getting her hands firmly on Jon's waist, and tugs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard2 2011-09-21 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	"What are you...?!" as her spell is interrupted, Alfrun's illusion flickers for the barest of moments. But its enough to absolutely verify that not all is as it seems. "You dare?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin just stared at the woman she thought was her handmaiden. She wanted to ask who she was and what was going on, but the pain of the contraction kept her knuckles white around her staff and from speaking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Darn straight I dare, bitch." Drawing her gun probably wouldn't be the most efficient plan. The shield had made a good blunt instrument before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ragnfrior considers her options quickly. She could probably squash the mortal like the bug she is. But use of too much magic might draw attention, wake the alien or, worst of all, harm the baby.

She wants to rule Asgard. Not destroy it. Disrupt the prophecies of Ragnarok and ensure her survival - not bring it on here and now.

There will be other battles. She drops a magical mist that will confue their senses of direction, and make sure V doesn't remember anything of what she saw behind the illusion, ever so briefly. By the time the thickest of it clears, Ragnfrior is gone... and they seem to be in a tunnel network.

	The threat is gone and Svalin had much bigger concerns at the moment. Her son was anxious to enter the world. "We must get out of here," she growled through the pain. Her water broke and the warm liquid ran down her legs. "There ist ver' little time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-09-21 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Vernique's a bit dizzy. "Okay, we can get out of here, try to get you to your Mom...but I can't carry Jon, hon..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Argh!" Svalin yelled from the pain. This was the single most painful thing she had ever experienced. Getting eaten by a dragon was a lot less painful. "I doth not think there ist time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then just get down, hon. Try to relax. Don't push yet, just breathe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon stirs a little, spell broken. He can't move much, but situational awareness is beginning to dawn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2011-09-21 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin nodded and very carefully lowered herself down to the floor using the wall as support. This was entirely not how she imagined having her child. Though Jon was here, albeit unconscious, but he was here. Svalin reached out and took one of his hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-09-21 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	The healing touch works wonders, even when not entirely intended. Perhaps some of it is simply... this is the birth of the eventual god of the sun. Whatever it is, he stirs a little more awake, enough to push himself to sitting upright, leaning against a wall and holding tight to Svalin's hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2011-09-21 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Good to have you here Jon." At least Svalin wouldn't break his hand. And Vernique will encourage, and monitor, and tell her when to push, and encourage some more, and occasionally mutter to Solver that all of his parents are here, and he'd better not give them too much trouble, so come on. And eventually, she's holding her son. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Instead of crying, the purpose is served with a first breath of lungs that will one day launch cyclonic force winds. The wall is a mess - but his airway is clear, and the first sound out of Svalin, Jon, and Vernique's baby is a giggle and coo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin was exhausted. She felt like she had fought a hundred Frost Giants and a hundred dragons at the same time. It was well worth the exhaustion. She looked at her son in her wife's arms and smiled. Tears clouded her vision a bit.

They couldn't tell from where they were at, but the sun had just risen on the horizon the moment Solver was born. The enemies of Asgard had been defeated and peace settled over the city.

"Solver Battleborn," she said quietly.

	Oh boy. He took out a wall. Teething was going to be fun. But Vernique smiled, too. "Yes, he is." And got everything cut and tidied and arranged as much as possible to get Solver into Svalin's arms once she was ready. "Say hello to Mommy and Daddy, Solver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
