Unexpected Visitor
Lucius Antonius Aquilla rarely ventured out of the city of Nova Roma deep in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, but his mission was quite urgent and had brought him New Orleans. His grandson Cornelius lived here with his teammates and Lucius needed their help.

With little difficulty he made his way through the city and eventually came to the headquarters of the Champions. He double checked the address and satisfied that he was at the right place he knocked on the door.

	Rose hadn't thought they were expecting company. She had just been doing some household chores when she heard the door being knocked upon so she went to go see who it was. "Hello? Can I help you sir?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He offered the young girl a smile. "My name is Lucius Aquilla and I am here to see Cornelius Drake. May I please speak to him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course come right in sir," Rose replies cheerfully. She's rather friendly for a warrior trained in K'un-L'un. "I know he hasn't left today so he should be around here somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," he said and stepped inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's no problem," she says as she starts to lead him back towards the kitchen. "Corey is.... one of the first friends I made since my return to the 'modern' world. He has been very understanding when it comes to my unease with most modern technology." She does like cars and motorcycles as they're very useful. She just wishes they weren't so loud.

	Corey just catches the edge of this conversation as he comes out of the kitchen. "Hey, citizens of proper civilizations have to stick tog--" he blinks, cutting himself off. "Grandfather!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The world can be a little overwhelming to those not used to it," Lucius said. He smiled brightly when he saw his grandson. "Cornelius! Just the person I came to see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She flashes them both a wide grin. "Shall I leave you two to talk then? I do not wish to interrupt family matters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2012-02-13 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Corey smiles and goes to shake his hand. "No, I'm sure it's okay, Rose. Grandfather, this is Rose Knight-Rand, in case it wasn't obvious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2012-02-13 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Rose it is a pleasure to meet you," he said and extended a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	irondragon 2012-02-13 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	She has had to get used to hand shaking too. Firmly she clasps his hand. "It's good to meet you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2012-02-14 04:47 am UTC (link)
	"So what's the situation, Grandfather?" It had to be serious business for him to come to the states. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2012-02-14 05:03 am UTC (link)
	"There has been a theft," he started. "Lucretia's Knife has been stolen from Nova Roma. I came here seeking you and your team's help in retrieving it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2012-02-14 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Corey blinks. "Wow. Of course we'll help. What do we know about the thieves?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2012-02-14 05:11 am UTC (link)
	"Not much, I am afraid. Some witnesses say they had special abilities, but none of them got a good look at the individuals. I do not need to tell you what the knife means to Nova Roma and what it can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	irondragon 2012-02-14 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Then we shall get it back," Rose says simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2012-02-15 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Corey blinks. "Yeah. Don't worry, Grandfather. We've got great people here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2012-02-15 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you, Cornelius," he said. "I am glad to know that you will be handling this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2012-02-15 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Corey smiled. "Now sit down and let me get the food, and round everybody up so we can talk about the circumstances of the disappearance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Should I go put on some tea," Rose asks calmly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2012-02-15 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"A bite to eat and some tea would be wonderful," Lucius said. "It has been a long trip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Did I hear something about tea?" Jenny asked as she entered the kitchen. Yankee Clipper was leading the way. The extra-large orange and white cat went directly to the new arrival and made a production of sniffing his shoes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	irondragon 2012-02-15 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. I'll make enough for everyone," Rose supplies. "We have something to discuss with the whole team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Corey, I'm going...." Irina said as she entered the kitchen and then stopped. "Oh we have company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick makes his way into the kitchen, at first barely seeming to notice anything amiss. He's obviously just woken up, and probably a bit hung over. At least he's mostly dressed. As he's getting something out of the fridge, he finally notes the gathering. "Oh, hey. 'Sup?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
