One of a Kind
The Collector was always searching for unique and unusual items to add to his personal collection. He had numerous worlds filled with items he had collected over the eons. His attention had wandered away from Earth for awhile, but that changed. Now something unique caught his eye and he was determined to add it to his collection.

He landed on the front porch of the Defenders' compound. He blasted the door into oblivion and walked into the building.

	There's only so fast you can go when you' have to make it clear to a toddler why you have to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Collector flew through the building and eventually caught up to Vernique and Solver. He landed right in front of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique only manages one question as he manages to get in front of them. "Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He is unique, one of a kind, and he plays an important part in the future." He sent a blast of concussive energy at the woman. The boy wouldn't be hurt from it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique thought two things as she was hit and lost consciousness. One was that she was glad Solver was flying so she wouldn't be dropping him, just on principle. The other was that of course Solver was special. Why did that have to keep becomiong a problem? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It is barely an hour later when the others come home. Aridis senses something isn't right almost as soon as she climbs out of the car they had been using for her outing. She had wanted to go shopping by herself. Driving is something she is still getting used to.

Others don't often agree with her idea of 'safe' driving.

"Something... doth not feel right. Tis too quite."

	Asleif and Kael had had their own outing, one which was taking the far safer precaution of walking. They arrived nearly at the same time as Aridis. She tilted her head slightly. "It seems quite normal," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael used his enhanced hearing to try and pick up activity in the compound..and fails. "It's far too quiet, Milady." He draws his swords. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2013-04-22 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Marlow was rarely included in the others' outings that didn't involve missions and had been in New Orleans eating Corey's chicken and hoping to get a line on a voodoo princess. She arrived back just after the others. The sight of a sword unsheathed prompted her to create duplicates to loosely ring the compound before she made herself known. "What's wrong?"

	Behind the other cars pulling up came a streach Rolls-Royce fresh from a premier down at Grauman's and Iona and Hal emerged, both in formalwear. The weapon immediately removed the smile from her face, looking grim. "What trouble befalls us? Who art the enemy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tryggvi landed and reared. Svalin was just returning from a ride. The day was perfect for one and she had taken advantage of it. "What ist happening?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-04-22 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	Halbjorn was all smiles when he got out of the car. That goes away fast. "Aye." he agrees, rushing towards the house. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique will probably be found first, as she regains consciousness slowly, but sooner than Brandr considering that she doesn't have his injuries. That and she will be keening fairly loudly the minute she remembers why she's on the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif looked skyward, muttering to herself. Why was nothing even simple around here? She followed after the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	eagleofthebow 2013-04-22 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	It would not be their lives if things were simple. Aridis has her hands on her bow as she enters the compound. "....Someone has been here!" She doesn't mean to state the obvious. "I doth not see Solver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-04-22 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Halbjorn scoops Vernique up. "Good lady, what malfeasance is this? Whoe'er hast brought this woe 'pon thee shalt pay most dear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2013-04-22 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Svalin saw Halbjorn pick her wife up off of the ground and vaulted off of Tryggvi. She drew Vigfrior as she ran over. "What hath happened? Who ist responsible for this? Where ist Solver? Where ist Brandr?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2013-04-23 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Solver..." Asleif hissed. A hot flame clenched her heart. Someone had dared to lay hands on her blood? They would pay for this most dearly, whomever they were. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	olympian_elf 2013-04-23 12:17 am UTC (link)
	With Vernique safely in hand, Kael goes past the group to check the rest of the compound, searching room by room for any hint of what may have happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique shook a little in Hal's arms. "Bastard got Brandr first... couldn't get Solver away fast enough...Was one of those Elder of the Universe types...oh god, Svalin..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2013-04-23 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Halbjorn is familiar with the Elders through father's stories, mostly of his dealings with the Champion and the Possessor - but he knows there's more of them. And now, he's going quickly from concerned to angry. "Then mayhap we shalt see how deep their immortality truly goeth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"By Odin's beard," Svalin swore. She took her wife's hand and gave it a squeeze. "Worry not, milady. We wilt find Solver and return him to thee." The "Or die trying" didn't need to be said. Svalin hoped she sounded confident. Worry sank into her when Vernique mentioned an Elder of the Universe.

"Asleif! Start finding mine son," Svalin growled. "Defenders, prepare for a journey into space."

	Brandr had managed to half stagger and half drag himself from where he'd first fallen, trying to follow the intruder, but had lost consciousness at the side door leading outside. The trail of blood from the room full of destruction where the initial confrontation had been made him easy enough to find. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2013-04-23 02:41 pm UTC (link)
	The skald remaind silent, quickly picking up the trail of blood after seeing that Vernique was alive, the blood making finding Brandr...convienantly easy, quickly kneeling down when she found his prone form, "Be still warrior.....thy friends are at hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
