Delivering the news
Thor heads for New York ahead of Syd and Simon. They'll be along, possibly with the Defenders in tow, to help get Scion's New York offices arranged to their liking. When they get there and examine the books, they should find out precisely how much they're being paid for their work. He's fairly sure, at the least, that its a considerable promotion from the babysitting duties.
He heads for Tony's home, hoping to catch him there, and with some privacy.

	He's lost the Stark legacy, but when Thor shows up on his balcony, it finally all clicks together. "This isn't a social call," he says without preamble, and without even looking much at his old teammate. "You're about tell me one of three things. I'm hoping for option two."

	Thor nods. "Thou'rt right, though I wonder what tis thou'rt suspecting. But I come to thee with bad news, tis true, but good as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thor," he says with a thin smile. "What would be the point of mortals if they didn't make gods marvel enough to be remembered?" He takes a sip of coffee, knowing the cold only affects him. "Since you just eliminated my worse case scenario you can come out with it. Which is it? Are you Scion or do you just know who it is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thor can't help but smile, just a little. "Aye, and aye. Myself and Herakles art the backing behind Scion, but t'will soon be entirely in mortal hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looks out on the city. "Good thought. I'm not sure I want it back." a part of him thinks he's crazy. The rest of him knows he's not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Tis not entirely mine meaning, my friend. Thou didst build the company, and most oft hath steered it well. Thou shalt keep thy office, and be placed at the head of Stark Industries once more as CEO, at least until Anya hast graduated with her business degree. Scion shalt, in all ways but one, be a silent partner. The representative from Scion shalt be sworn to always vote with thee in all cases but one. Thy control wilt be nigh absolute... indeed, greater than thou oft held before."

Friends...When did that happen with Goldilocks anyway? He's a little startled to realize it's no longer rhetoric.

He ducks his head. "Please tell me that one involves destroying the world." He looks at all the people below. "Look down, Thor. It's people and lives and things either one of us with our means could destroy a thousand times over. You have your agreements and codes." He looks to the sky. "I have imperfect wisdom...and finally a little humility."

"Mortal business and mortal politics, whate'er they be, art to be left to mortals. Though I wouldst like to say I wished to help thee with thy half-sister, thou knowst why we could not step in o'er business concerns, whate'er the stakes. The one involves anything to do with the Avengers. Any time their funding and continuance wouldst be threatened, o'er thy actions or anyone's, our representatives hath been instructed to vote to ensure the Avengers and their stakes art always protected. In all else, Scion wilt always vote with the Stark in charge of the company."

"Thor, down here, blood doesn't make the man. Anya isn't ready yet. The whole Mandarin business is proof. But if you are really interested in mortal affairs, then -" He puts a hand on the side of beef that passes for his friend's arm. "We should come up with some sword-in-the-stone kind of test for leadership. We can even make Williams Merlin. He'll love it...eventually."

"Aye, of course she ist not ready. We hath a'ready prepared her a plaque announcing her time as vice president when thou'rt ready to promote her - once she graduates. She wilt take o'er only when thou'rt ready for her to do so. And Simon Williams, in many ways, a'ready fills the part. He shalt be attending thy shareholders meetings via the internet to see to Scion's interests. After this, Thor and Herakles shalt hath no further dealings with Scion so long as it keeps true to its only duty."

"So I'll be coming up with the stone and sword. Gotcha." He's insistent on this point. It was sheer luck and Pepper he didn't spill coffee and set off World War 3 when he was young and dumb. Anya is 50 times the CEO and Avenger he is, but...He's seen so many family legacies fall into greed, boredom, and stupidity. Eventually time and money run out for everyone. He now understands that.

"Thank you, Thor. Sounds like you took care of almost everything."

	"I hath done little, Tony. But the legacy of the Avengers wast threatened by thine half-sister. I couldst not allow that to happen. For all other concerns but this, including how and when thy daughter takes o'er, tis thy company again, and now, for so long as there are Avengers, the company ist ensured to remain in Stark hands."

	Time to close loopholes Thor left, but at least there are loopholes to tighten. "You've done what you could for the Avengers. Thanks is the least I can do." He hesitates before adding. "If you aren't in a hurry, I have some cider brewing. It's not mead, but you're welcome to a cup." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mine wife ist a'ready in a hurry to get back, and there ist much we must attend to, but I thank thee. Rather, thou shouldst use this time to plan with Simon and Sydney, and determine how to break the news to thine half-sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I think I can delegate that." The smirk says he's more then planned this moment. "Go. Give my regards to both." He leans on the railing again, mug securely in his hands above the fray of people below. "And don't be a stranger around the mortal plane, blondie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2010-01-04 09:15 am UTC (link)
	"Mine own children art nearing a time when they wilt need make great choices. We wilt be back soon enow. Good fortune to thee." he replies, before lifting off again, message delivered. Its all Simon and Syd now. (Reply to this)(Parent)
