Oli flinched back at the sudden intrusion into his mind. He really had to get out of the habit of speaking so causally to the walking gods of his age. As he took in all that was revealed to him, and a look of complete horror was frozen on his face. The mere idea that this could happen, that the multiverse could burn for the power fantasy of one man was vile, a kind of poison that made his stomach wretch and feel a deep and true fear. He had to stop this, this was, without a doubt, more important than anything else he'd ever done. Doom would fail, he'd see to it with all he had.

As they were spirted away to new Asgard, Oliver shook his ehad to clear it, and ground himself to the new place. This was a lot, but nothing he couldn't handle. It was also nice being probably far away from wherever his double was, they really didn't need to deal with that kind of insanity right now. For now, he simply weakly chimed in, "In what she showed me, he killed Luminuous, maybe that's the who? Maybe her dying is the thing that makes everything go so so wrong?" That was his best guess, or what he could do with the incomplete innformation he had.

"Uh... It's my engagement ring? I've had it forever, and it's kind of how we got to Asgard a while back in the first place..." she responded with a shrug. It was the same ring that she had for a while now. Just apparently it turned out to be able to transport groups of people long distances. Which she supposed made some sense in the long run considering the ring was Asgardian so it wasn't super surprising that the ring apparently turned out to be magical. She wasn't going to argue since it turned out to be super useful more then once at this point.

"I mean turns out to be incredibly useful so I don't think we should question the whole thing, since it saved us a bit of a trip," Flynn pointed out with a bit of a shrug, as he looked around at the area that they were in. New Asgard was definitely unlike any place he had ever seen before. Then again, most of this entire trip fell into that sort of category, so that wasn't exactly saying anything. Now they were trying to figure out what the best solution for everything at this point was.

Since they were still not sure who they were looking for with regards to the Nexus, they only knew that it was a woman who was in New Asgard, somewhere anyway. Flynn did hope that Raynor had an idea of who they could go to for help, and based on what he was saying, it did seem like there was someone that could help. "Wow, sheer dumb luck we ended up teleporting right outside of the house of someone who might be able to help don't you think?" he ended up saying with a shrug.

Sparky was more intrigued a bit by the dragon flying overhead and the buildings that she could see. It was interesting to see how the Asgardians seemingly adapted to being on Earth, though the story of how they ended up there wasn't exactly a good one. Since Ragnarok had to have happened for them to be here now. She looked over at Raynor, as he was being a bit cryptic about things, and he probably wasn't exactly wanting to be there for too long it seemed like. "You okay Ray?" she ended up asking him, unsure of what else to really say or anything.

As they were standing around talking, the door to the cottage opened up, but no one appeared in the doorway. There was a gust of wind coming from the house, which carried with it a very strong scent of the ocean, as if the group was only standing a few feet from it.

---

---

---

Raynor grimaced, as Niah asked who this house belonged to. He really didn't want to be here. He really didn't want to be thinking about all of this. All he wanted was to be back home with his daughter, far far away from the sins of his past. "Klara Thordattir," Raynor told Niah curtly. He didn't elaborate - he didn't mention how Klara had been a maternal figure in his life, how she had more or less taken him in after the loss of his parents. Or how deeply he had disappointed her.

Bonnie didn't pay much attention to the jokes around Maria's demonic appearance, instead considering what Oliver had said. He had had a vision where Luminous had been killed by Doom. Could Luminous be this Nexus being that the Sorceress Supreme had urged them to protect? Was this a cosmic joke, where they would be expected to defend one of their worst enemies? She knew that Niah in particular had been traumatized by the silver speedster. She didn't know if she could ask Niah to stand against Doom for Luminous.

But the more Bonnie considered it all, it didn't sit right with her. Her intuition was telling her that there was something more at play here, that Luminous wasn't the one that needed their protection. "What else did she show you?" Bonnie asked Oliver. They needed more information before they could make any sort of definite conclusion. And personally, Bonnie was fine with letting Doom and Luminous kill each other - they both deserved it.

"Oooor instead of talking about what the witch told us, we could go forward into the creepy ocean smelling house?" Amelia suggested. She logically knew that Bonnie was right and they should go through whatever sort of lore dump Oliver had just received, but her mind was much more interested in heading on into the weird house. The door had creaked open so dramatically that it felt like they were in a movie, not in real life. "Klara Thordattir... Thordattir... Thor's daughter then, mate? So that makes her your... blimey, I really oughta know my gods better, is she your aunt then? sister? cousin? Well, she's family right? Is she always so dramatic like this? Because I do like a drama queen."

Raynor's self loathing was really only interrupted with annoyance. He had been a bit miffed at how people seemingly didn't realize Sparky's ring was her engagement ring - he knew he didn't do the most traditional romantic moves, but he had given her that ring as a token of his love and it... Well, Raynor didn't really know what to call the emotion he felt at the realization that the others on the team just didn't see that. Then, he was also annoyed at Klara's dramatics and at - bless her - Amelia's ramblings. "Cousin," he said curtly. "She's always like this."

Raynor didn't feel ready to face Klara. He definitely did not feel okay, answering Sparky's question with a shake of his head. But then again, when would he really ever? Raynor stared at the open door of the cottage, before heading inside.

Inside, the decor could be best described as romanticism of the sea - a place fit for a beautiful, lovesick mermaid - a siren's den. The walls were soft blues and the lighting was low and moody, tinged a delicate pink. A turtle with a pink sweater slowly crawled around on the floor. A gorgeous fountain with cherubs and dolphins was the centerpiece of the main room, with a sitting area off to the side that was white wicker couches with pink and blue accent pillows.

"Damn... Your cousin's place is lovely. Much nicer than my cousin's spot," Amelia said with a low whistle.

Cassandra looked over at Oliver for a moment when he mentioned about the vision that he had been given to by the Sorceress Supreme, she sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. She really didn't like the idea of having to defend the woman who had caused a lot of issues for them in the past against a man like Doom. Maybe Oliver was wrong with what he had seen, and it was someone else that they needed to actually protect other than Luminous. She didn't really have much interest in the ring it was useful and it had gotten them to where they needed to go next.

Cass then paused for a moment as the door to Klara's place slowly opened, she could smell the ocean air coming from it from where they stood already. "Alright lets head inside, and figure out what we need to do." Cassandra said as she followed shortly behind Raynor into Klara's home, she looked around it seemed really nice, and seeing a cute little turtle with a sweater slowly walking by. She figured that she'd speak first for their team, before Raynor did. "Uh hello Klara, we are here seeking your aid if you are willing to help us out?" Cass asked her.

---

"Maybe i'll try and find one for Novi then when we get back." Maria said mostly to herself, as she listened to Sparky as she answered her question. She just didn't know that her ring actually did that at all, but it did come in handy pretty well, as Maria's attention turned towards the door as it slowly opened. "Well thats pretty creepy like some horror movie shit." Maria said as she followed shortly behind Raynor and Cassandra into the house.

"You defintely went all out on the ocean theme." Maria said as she looked around the room, as Cassandra spoke up first, hopefully Klara wouldn't really attack her on site due to her demonic appearance, hopefully it'll go away quickly. Maria didn't like the idea that she'd have to defend Luminous from Doom if that was what the vision Oliver had was true, but they needed to do this to get back home then so be it. She really just wanted to get back home and spend some time with her wife and daughter, they were gone for like two days now probably in their own world.

---

---

---

Niah didn't really try to hide her disgust at the idea of trying to protect Luminous. The woman had caused her a lot of grief. Some of it didn't even belong in the universe she was from anymore. But it also made some sense in a twisted way. She honestly didn't know if she could protect Luminous.

She tilted her head at the name. It was familiar. She had met Klara in Wanda's creation. She hadn't talked with her much since she was dealing with a whole lot of emotion at the time. And then bringing Wanda down. But she had met Klara. Not that this Klara would know that. Or even the one she had met would remember her. Niah didn't think she had retained her memories. So few had.

She followed Raynor into the home of his cousin. It was a nice little place. She decided that this Klara had a good aesthetic, at least.

---

---

---

---

Matt stared at Oliver, concerned. This would be really complicated if they had to protect Luminous from Doom. Bonnie was asking follow-up questions. He wondered what she might be thinking. He followed into the house. It was a nice little place. He liked it. The smell was particularly pleasant.

He stood by Cass, waiting to see if Klara would come out and speak to them. It had seemed she was welcoming them. For Raynor's sake, he hoped that that was a good sign. He figured it would get even more complicated if she didn't.

---

---

---

---

Sparky wasn't surprised at all that Raynor wasn't doing okay at all. After all, he hadn't been in this place for over 20 years, so coming back home, well it didn't sound like he was expecting a decent homecoming. New Asgard definitely looked to be an interesting place to call home, though she did find it somewhat interesting that his cousin lived in what looked more like a cottage then a castle. Especially given her name as Raynor. In the reality they were from, based on her being Thor's daughter she was close to being next in line for the Asgardian throne.

Flynn was paying attention to the whole situation now with regards to Doom and Luminous as Bonnie seemed to be interrogating Oliver a bit now, so that was going to be interesting for the most part. Considering right now, all they knew was that Doom and Luminous were heading to New Asgard, and were after someone there, which meant that they didn't exactly have a lot of time. Personally, he was fine with Luminous dying or something, but if it resulted in the end of the universe, he'd prefer that to not happen.

"Well, I think most of us aren't exactly on the let's protect Luminous train... Unless we know for certain how things are, then we just have to wait a little until we have more information on what causes their disagreement and if that results in death to everything directly or not. Since what you just said doesn't provide much, I'm with Bonnie on the thing where you tell us any info or what was shown." he said, as he noticed the rest of the group heading into the weird house, and he shrugged slightly, before following after everyone else.

She followed along after everyone else into the home, and she couldn't help but look around at the surroundings, wondering where Klara herself was. It seemed like the Asgardian was inviting them into her home, but she couldn't help but be a bit cautious. Sparky didn't know much about her, aside from what Raynor had said. But considering what had happened to them since getting to that reality, well, things were ending horribly for the group for the most part. So here was hoping there might be a slight break of sorts for them right?

There was the sound of movement behind the group, before Klara herself would appear behind them, giving them a smile. "Glad to hear you all appreciate the décor. As to the aesthetic it is rather fitting for me don't you think. I am the goddess of love and the sea after all," she said, before turning her gaze to focus more on Raynor himself. "You've been back in this reality for a while little cousin, didn't think to pop by to say hello? Suppose that doesn't matter, you have been a bit busy haven't you? Who are all your friends? I know who a few of them are, but who are the others?"

Oliver nodded, and began to recount the events that he come to pass in his vision. "Well, Doom amc Luminous were fighting, and she didn't survive the conflict. They, there was some blondie in a green claim that I think Doom killed, or otherwise ambushed?" Oli said, unsure. "After that things go downhill quickly. Felled heros, Doombots, end of all things, real apocalypse stuff." He explained, his head aching at recalling it all directly. "I guess goldylocks is our second main choice to protect in all thst, but I have no idea who that is."

As they stepped into the room, Oliver kept his mouth shut. Between Tony Stark, The Sorcereress Supreme, Thanos, and god knows who else, he was so far beyond saying anything to people who might be able to ruin his life with a thought. Let the gods play with gods, or at least have the consequences of disrespect fall on other's heads. Looking upon her, he pursed his lips, not making any smart ads comments about an ocean theme, or anything else that might reasonably get him turned into a fish, or whatever this Asgardian was all about.

---

---

---

Bonnie was quiet for another moment, considering the new information Oliver had given. She wasn't too sure what to make of it, if she were being quite honest. Apocalyptic visions tended to be vague at best. The only information they had was that in this vision, Doom would kill Luminous - and some figure that wore green. They were in New Asgard and the most famous Asgardian who wore green was Loki. Was he somehow connected to this - was he whatever this Nexus was? But still, it didn't sit quite right with Bonnie.

Raynor avoided Klara's gaze, looking everywhere but into her piercing eyes. He felt like a disobedient child, being beckoned to introduce his friends to his parent. He could have been charming and sweet if he wanted to - he could have given each person a lengthy introduction, highlighting their feats and abilities, just as was custom in New Asgard to do. He didn't need to ask who of his 'friends' Klara already knew - he could take a guess as to that one. "This is... Sparky, daughter of... Bob," Raynor began, pointing at Sparky. "Oliver, son of Thanos," he said, pointing at Oliver. "Flynn, son of Erik... I don't know the lineages for the others, but... Amelia, Niah, Matt, Bonnie, Maria, and Cass."

Amelia waved her hand and looked at Klara cheerfully. It didn't bother her in the slightest that Raynor didn't have a clue for who to say she was the daughter of - there were three possible answers, after all. "Fucking ecstatic to meet you, mate. 'M Amelia, daughter of Charlotte, Noah, and Archie. Your cousin has told us... jack shit about you, but he said you're all on the up and up when it comes to magic, and we've got a magic problem, if you don't mind taking a mo' to help out? Again, love the decor here - it's brilliant."

Bonnie didn't feel the need to mention the names of her parents - Jean-Paul and Rachel - at the moment. She knew that this was clearly Asgardian custom, and if Klara asked, she would answer. But at the moment, Bonnie was focused more on the answer to the mysterious puzzle that was the Nexus. Doom and Luminous were clearly after it, and if Doom had his way, the world would end. That was more than enough motivation to keep her on track. "Specifically, we believe that two fugitives from our world are here for something or someone called the Nexus. Do you know anything about what the Nexus is or where we might find it? A sorceress told us to come to New Asgard to look for it," Bonnie explained succinctly. She didn't add the ticking clock - that their minds were being warped and while Professor X had managed to stave off the effects for now, there was no telling when they would begin to lose themselves again.

"Anything you could tell us would be super fucking helpful!" Amelia chimed in. She really liked Klara - she just seemed to have good vibes. Of course, Amelia wasn't a huge fan of water and the ocean, as she didn't know how to swim, but Klara just seemed so... chill that it wasn't such a huge issue. It didn't even occur to her to be paranoid that it might've been an effect of the love goddess' presence, to make people just like her and want to be around her.

"Vær så snill, fetter... Jeg må hjem til datteren min," Raynor said quietly, purposefully speaking in the native tongue of Asgard so that way the others could not understand him. He didn't want to show this vulnerability in front of them. He would rather they see him as this wicked, cruel figure - he would never let them see his pain.

---

---

---

Niah would much rather protect the nameless woman in green. Luminous could choke on an egg. She nodded when Raynor gave his truncated introduction. Niah wondered which of their party Klara knew. She didn't particularly like that Raynor introduced Oliver by invoking Thanos. It was likely Klara knew who that was.

She watched Klara's face wondering what Raynor said. It was in a language she didn't know. There wasn't anything to add right now. The questions had been asked. Hopefully, Klara knew something.

---

---

---

---

Well, this was going to be interesting. Matt wasn't surprised by his own truncated introduction. He hadn't really talked about his parents with anyone in the group other than Cass. She probably was the only one who even knew he had a sister. He didn't think adding his parents' names to the conversation was necessary. If Klara knew them, he'd be surprised.

He thought about what Oliver said as well. He wondered why he had jumped to the conclusion that it was Luminous that they had to protect when another person was potentially killed in the vision. Magic was weird. Matt was not equipped to deal with magic stuff. Their group had zero magic users too. Unless you counted whatever it was Raynor could do with lies. Niah's power was tangentially related to magic but not enough to be useful in that department.

---

---

---

Cassandra turned around to face Klara, she remembered seeing Klara from Wanda's House of M reality, but she was pretty sure that this Klara didn't really know her, unless she had visited The Iron recently and had met her counterpart. She listened to Raynor as he started to introduce the group, she didn't really feel the need to mention who her parents were really. They weren't well known people unlike Raynor's Sparky's Oliver's or Flynn's were.

"It's nice to meet you, i'm Cassandra Reed and I am the leader of the Secret Warriors." Cassandra said extending her hand towards Klara giving her a slight smile, as looked at the others. She wasnt sure where to actually start looking for this Nexus thing or whatever, but they needed to prevent what was going to happen. "Whatever aide you and New Asgard can provide would be grateful." Cassandra told Klara, hoping that she'd be able to help.

---

---

---

---

Maria turned around to face Klara who kind of popped up behind them like some creepy villain or something like that, she shifted slightly as Raynor introduced the entire group to her. "Nice to meet you there Klara." Maria said to Klara as she listened to the others speaking and shifted slightly. At least Klara didn't attack her due to her little demonic appearance or anything like that as she listened to Oliver and turned to look at him.

[color=lighthgreen]"Sounds like a lovely little vision you got there."[/color] Maria said jokingly to Oliver, of course they needed to deal with this situation first before they could even go back home. She was worried about Novikova and Diana as well to, she probably was really worried about her and all that. She didn't feel the need to tell Klara about who her parents were really, they needed to focus on what they needed to do and the sooner the better.

---

---

---

---

---

Sparky knew a little bit about Klara, but still, she definitely wasn't the sort of person she had imagined. Then again, it might have to do with the sort of god she was. Hearing what Raynor said to Klara, she understood what he had said, and personally, she kind of was in the same boat, though she wanted to sort out the whole Doom situation and all first. Since that was kind of a pressing issue with regards to the whole multiverse would likely unravel. Since any smart person would likely want to fix that first so there was a home to return to.

Flynn really contemplated punching Raynor for more or less how he ended up getting introduced, considering that was not something he was so keen on bringing up every possible chance. Though he was hoping that maybe, just maybe Klara would be able to help them with the Nexus thing and figure out who it is. "We don't know what it really means by Nexus, but supposedly it's a person or something like that?" he said, wondering what exactly Klara was going to respond with.

Of course, before answering their questions, Klara turned her attention to Raynor again and this time, she walked over and gave him a hug. "Jeg skal hjelpe deg, og er glad for at du har en datter, og jeg håper å møte henne en dag. Men husk denne lille kusinen, jeg bryr meg fortsatt om deg og elsker deg, uansett hva du har gjort. Så jeg vil alltid hjelpe deg..." she responded kind of quietly, keeping her voice down, before pulling away and stepping back, deciding to maybe see about answering some questions that the group were presenting to them.

She laughed a little when Amelia said that they didn't know much about her, "You must excuse Raynor, he can be a little bit difficult to read or get him to say anything personal," she said, though it was very apparent she was just teasing him a bit with her words. "Also Secret Warriors? To me it seems less warriors and more of a bunch of romantics considering the amount of soulmates and couples in your group, it's kind of cute..."

"So... Do you know anything about the nexus?"

"Of course I do! Though sounds like at first I should explain what the Nexus is. Each universe in the greater multiverse has a Nexus being, what does that entail? Well, they sort of act as an anchor for their respective universe and reflect the overall appearance and character of their respective universe. No two Nexus beings can be in the same universe at the same time, only way is through magic and dreamwalking, which is a whole other magical sort of spell. Each Nexus has their unique power set, though each tend to have mastery over probability, and all are important magically in general."

"...Kind of makes you wonder who the Nexus is in our universe..." Flynn couldn't help but comment.

"Well, whoever it is, is probably fairly powerful. Now, to the Nexus of this universe. I just so happen to know who it is, for a few different reasons. The Nexus of this world is the Enchantress Amora, who has the power of resurrection and reincarnation, so she tends to stay a live pretty easily. Well, technically speaking anyway. And you are right, she is here in New Asgard. After the fall of Asgard she was reincarnated as a human named Sylvie Lushton, and she is currently a ward of my mother, the All-Seer and ruler of New Asgard, Sif."

"...Not sure what anyone else seems to think, but to me, it sounds like we probably should focus on stopping Doom from getting a hold of this Sylvie person as opposed to Luminous, which also sounds like the much better option since pretty sure no one here actively wants to help Luminous. That's a good thing right?"

"So... The Nexus is a person whose currently here in New Asgard, and is currently with the ruler of New Asgard..." Sparky started to say, thinking for a moment about it. "Well... Sounds like there probably is going to be a lot of chaos surrounding this place and everything if Doom is definitely after the Nexus... Do you think you can take us there or something like that?"

"Oh I probably could do that if you all wanted to... Figure this sounds like an issue my mother might be interested in anyway since it involves Sylvie."

Oliver flicnehed a bit at the invocation of his father's name. What was Raynor thinking? That felt like the equivalent of walking into a room and saying, "Hey, you should help us, this is my friend Frank, son of Adolf Hitler". Even if it was true, it wasn't the sort of thing to wave around like a flag. He wanted to retaliate in some way, to correct him and say that Thanos wasn't his father, at most he was his sire, but that sort of quibbling wouldn't help anybody right now, and it somehow didn't seem to be an issue. It was certainly something he'd yell at Raynor about later, but for now he could keep his mouth shut.

The ewxistences of Nexus's was surprising to say the least, not just the fact that the multiverse was real, but each universe apparently had a person that was fundamentally tied to that universe felt mind blowing. To him, this meant that, somehow consciousness was tied to the nature of existence. This spoke volumes about how to interpret quantum physics, and if he had time, he'd try to fold in the things he learned today to actually create a functional model of the multiverse. That was, of course, contingent on the group not dying and everything being obliterated, but what wasn't these days?

---

---

---

Raynor stiffened as Klara embraced him. He wasn't used to much physical contact with other people, aside from Sparky and his daughter - and even then, Sparky tended to purposefully shock him about half of the time. It had been ages since his cousin had hugged him. He returned the hug, though the expression on his face was grim. He spoke in English this time. "I know. But you really shouldn't," he said quietly, wondering whether Klara would receive his warning. He knew that his cousin still saw him as a broken little boy, and not the adult monster he had become.

Bonnie frowned, listening to Klara's explanation about the Nexus. She could think of one prominent individual back home who could control probability, and she shuddered at the idea that the universe could revolve around Wanda Maximoff. She had never really had a strong opinion before, but now Bonnie had decided - she hated magic. The idea that one person could be that important, that without them the universe could fall apart or something... She hated that.

But it did make sense with what Oliver had seen in the vision - that Doom had hurt this figure in green and then the dominoes continued to fall, until the multiverse itself seemed to have ended. And Bonnie could believe that someone as arrogant as Doom would believe that he could steal the powers of Nexus beings and use them to his own ends. She didn't know why Luminous would oppose him and lead to her death in the vision though, that much still wasn't clear. "Alright then. Doom is going to try to steal the Nexus being's powers - Sylvie's powers - and in the process lead to the destabilization of the multiverse. That seems simple enough," Bonnie explained.

"I think then let's go and protect this Sylvie chick, mates?" Amelia chimed in. Bonnie's analysis made sense to her and seemed to match Oliver's vision. She had felt a little bit uncomfortable when Klara started mentioning them all being romantics - that had never been Amelia's scene. The only romantic bit about her was how she loved to romanticize flying - or watching rom coms staring Rebel Wilson. Love in the purely traditional sense never factored into Amelia's life.

"Please do," Raynor said to Klara, as she mentioned she could take them to go find Sylvie. Suddenly, there was the sound of a gigantic explosion from off in the near distance. Raynor turned around and outside the window, he could see gigantic blasts of mystic energy hitting the palace - the home of the All-Mother, Sif. "And step on it, maybe - looks like Doom and Luminous are getting started," Raynor added.

"I'm going to go take them from the outside, actually - I'll meet up with you all inside with Sylv," Amelia explained. Her powers lent themselves to the air and sky. And she had spotted some dragons going around, which had given her an idea. "Good luck, ya cunts!" she wished cheerfully, giving everyone a wave before dashing out the front door. Thanks to the memories of being here, of being Aero, Amelia jumped straight into the sky and started to fly off to the palace.

Bonnie then used her powers granted by the goddess Athena, transforming into her suit - a suit of Greek armor, complete with a shield with the face of the gorgon Medusa on it.

"I mean it all depends, and people can change and make up for everything, it might take a while, but despite what you might think, you are capable of it," she responded to him rather quietly.

"So... We all see about heading off to go defend this Nexus person, and deal with Doom and Luminous, and hope everything doesn't go horribly wrong or something like that... Sounds like just another day for this group at this rate."

"Well, let's get going, been a while since I've been in a decent fight," Klara said, before holding her hand out and a sword flew into her hand. "Ironically the person you're looking for does have the same name as my sword, that being Sylvi, though spelled slightly differently." With those words, her sword lit up, swirling with a mixture of blue and pink light, before there was a rather bright flash of color, teleporting the entire group to the palace. Or well, she had been aiming for getting inside of the palace, but a barrier was preventing them from getting in.

The chaos around them was intense, there were a large number of warriors from New Asgard caught up in fights against Doom's robots (the Doombots of course), so of course Doom and Luminous were currently trying to use magic to get into the palace itself. "Well this is interesting... Though it might take them a while, my mother is the one who put up the barrier... Now, I'm going to go join the fight against those robot things, you lot probably should focus more on the problem that is those two," she commented, before raising her sword and raising off to go join the fight.

"Well this is a bit chaotic isn't it?" Flynn muttered, looking at the large amount of Doombots that seemed to be swarming the area, this was just super chaotic.

Sparky was looking at everything, but her mind instantly honed in and focused on Doom and Luminous, more specifically Doom, since he seemed to be the one responsible for everything that was going to happen. So it made sense to see about trying to attack him first. She sent out a bolt of electricity, and it seemed to sort of hit some force field that Doom had caused to appear. She sent another bolt, and it did the same thing. It took a moment for her to think about the situation to come up with a solution.

"Those robots seem to be going down easily, however we need to distract Doom enough for that force field to go down so we can fight him more easily... So more of us attack at once..." she ended up saying, electricity crackling along her arms as she fired off one more bolt in hopes the others might be able to get the hint and attack Doom and get rid of the force field first.

Deciding that he might as well attack Doom too at this point considering what was going on. He was engulfed in flames, and he sent them flying at the force field around Doom. Yeah, this totally was going to end well right? Well that seemed to at least be helping to work, as the force field around him was starting to thin out, and wear down a bit. Which meant they were a bit closer to getting to Doom himself, so... Yay?

Cassandra looked at everyone else in the team for a moment when Klara complimented on just about everyone in the team being a couple, she gave Matt a slight smile. She was probably the most lax team leader when it came to interpersonal relationships, she trusted her team enough to put the mission before everyone else well maybe except for Raynor he'd let the whole world burn just to protect Sparky and their kid. Then she heard the explosions happening as Cass turned to look out a nearby window seeing the sudden chaos happen around the palace, and sighed slightly to herself thinking that they had some more time to prepare.

"Lets move out then." Cassandra said just as Amelia had flew out and headed to the palace directly, she shook her head slightly as Klara then teleported her and the rest of the team out to the palace. Cass watched as chaos started to unfold all around them seeing an army of Doombots suddenly fighting the Asgardians. Cassandra spotted Doom and Luminous as they attacked the shield that was erected around the palace itself. "Lets take them out." Cassandra said as she watched Sparky, and Flynn attack the shield Doom had up around himself go up, she ran forward and tried to punch her way through it, but when she did it ended up hurting her hand as she backed up slightly rubbing her wrist and knuckles slightly. She spotted a nearby Doombot and quickly grabbed it and checked it directly at the shield as it yelled out rather loud and comically. 'I AM DOOOOOM!' just as it hit the shield and shattered into a million pieces onto the ground not damaging the shield at all.

Maria took a moment to look at everyone else at the team as Klara complimented everyone being a couple, sometimes she still wished that Novi was still on the team with her. After all of this was said and done though she decided to take her leave and spend time with her wife and baby daughter if they actually did get out of this. She then heard the explosions happening, as she looked over her shoulder for a moment. "Well looks like the party is just starting." Maria said as Amelia decided to fly over there, she thought about going over there herself. But Maria couldn't fly at the moment like Amelia could. And despite having Oliver's superhuman speed she'd still probably end up being lost in the city.

Luckily Klara teleported them all out of her house and directly to where they needed to be, an army of Doombots were already fighting against some of the Asgardian defenders. She spotted Doom and Luminous already attacking the shield that was around the palace itself, she quickly charged forward luckily she still had Oliver's speed and tried to brute force her way into the shield Doom had. But she ended up being knocked back, hitting the ground rather hard, groaning slightly as Maria got up again and tried it again only to get the same result. Maria tried a third time and managed to phase her way through it though she found herself slightly out of breath.

Niah wondered if Silvie was aware of who she was. That was a question for later. She also sort of agreed with Raynor in wondering who it might be from their universe. A few options came to her mind. Or maybe it was someone living a simple life. She would if she could.

Arriving at the battlefield, Niah took in the scene. Her heart twisted a little at the Doombots. She glanced at Bonnie. Even knowing these weren't the same, she was still nervous.

How did he get that many that quickly? It hadn't been that many days, right? For now, it didn't matter. They needed to stop him. And at least she didn't feel she had to protect Luminous.

A brief thought of the need for armor and it appeared on her. The armor looked like Kree armor, which made sense, considering it was coming from her leg.

"Hey, Doom! Remember me?"

“Why should one such as yourself matter to DOOM?”

That was actually reassuring to Niah. The fear that he might have known who she was and held it against her despite the reality having been erased had made her nervous.

Matt listened to the explanation about Nexus. Was Doom trying to steal her powers? Manipulate her or something? He had no idea. He wasn't even certain he could begin to figure out the plan. With the future Oliver had seen, it seemed like a really bad choice on Doom's part. And wasn't he supposed to be smart? Total destruction of the universe and all universes following after seemed like it would backfire.

Matt didn't think his touch would do much, but he might as well try. It was good for distraction. Right? So he dashed forward, joining the fray with the others. And somehow, when he touched the shield, it worked. The shield stopped working. It was down. He stared, a little surprised by that. Wondering how that worked.

Klara had teleported them all to the Palace - outside of it, at least. It was complete chaos. The sky was full with Doombots, creatures of silver armor draped in green cloaks, all shouting "I AM DOOM!" at varying intervals. Each time one was destroyed, the air shimmered green and two more arose to take its place. Those with magical training would recognize that the Doombots were enchanted to replicate upon destruction - meaning the more Doombots were destroyed, the more they would be overrun...

The host of Asgard were locked in combat, almost overwhelmed by the buzzing droids. Unseen to mortal eyes, the Valkyrie were ferrying the souls of Asgard's dead from the battlefield. No one was challenging Luminous and Doom - no one that could be seen. Sif's magic though had prevented Klara from teleporting them inside the Palace - the same thing likely that was forcing Luminous and Doom to fling their magic repeatedly at the doors without leaving a single scratch, all in their desperate attempt to get inside and steal the Nexus being.

"Why does it feel like there's more of them?!" Amelia shouted, flying up in the air. She was using her powers to through Doombots into each other, and she had grabbed a sword from a fallen Asgardian warrior, using it to destroy any Doombots that got too close. But no matter what she did, more of them seemed to be coming. She wasn't good at magic stuff, but she didn't even see Doom doing anything to make more appear? "How many Doombots did he build?!?!"

Amelia speared a Doombot on her sword, some of its mechanical blood (read: oil) getting onto her hands. The Doombot shimmered green, and then suddenly two more were upon her. Amelia hacked away at them again, hacking and slashing and hacking, until no one could see her, a perfect sphere of Doombots surrounding her.... She tried to send out a blast of air to force them all back, but it was useless - and the Doombots all opened fire on her at once...

Meanwhile, down on the ground, everyone seemed to be focusing on Doom in the evil duo partnership and not Luminous. Doom's energy shield had finally shattered, not too long after Maria had phased inside of it. The Doombot Cass had destroyed was gone, and two new ones magically appeared to take its place. They opened fire on the ground, sending out missiles - missiles that all tragically hit Niah. Had it not been for the Kree armor, it would have killed her. As it was, she ended up with severe burns on her stomach, the armor vanishing in that area (but remaining elsewhere).

Raynor threw his dagger, Lyting, at Doom - aiming for a killing shot. Doom raised his forearm and the Asgardian dagger hit the metal, and fell to the ground harmlessly. "Uru metal is far more plentiful in this reality than in our own," Doom boasted. "And makes fitting armor." Raynor's eyes blazed with anger. Uru metal was sacred to Asgardians and not meant to be handled by outsiders. It was one of the few things to have survived the fiery rage of Ragnarok.

"That metal doesn't belong to you - you don't have any right to it!" Raynor snapped. He threw a punch, aiming to knock the helmet off of Doom's head, but Doom effortlessly dodged his fist. Doom then sent off a blast of energy at Raynor, designed to knock the Asgardian back, but Raynor managed to avoid the attack just in time.

"Victor, be reasonable!" Bonnie hissed. She knew it was unlikely to change things - she knew that this was going to continue to be a fight. But people were dying all around them. And the multiverse was at stake. "Your plan for the Nexus - it'll end in the destruction of everything you know, everything you care about will be gone, and you'll be all that's left," Bonnie warned. The snakes on her shield seemed to flash and writhe in warning for a moment - although it might have just been a trick of the light.

Doom's eyes flashed dangerously. "Everything needs to burn before something new can form," he said ominously.

Luminous continued to lash away at the door, sending off blast after blast of her power, moving so quickly that the naked eye could not see - and fortunately, Sif's spells seemed to be holding up... for now.

Oliver, seeing the replication problem, reached down to his phone. If these things were technomagic, maybe Oliver could deal with the technopart of that. He understood math, so he knew that the bots doubling every time they were destroyed would prove fatal t them if they couldn't deal with it. However, it seemed that they were programed with magical runes, which was, to say the least, a programming language that Oliver wasn't fluent in. Tucking his phone away, he looked upon the fight and almost lost his mind at the trajedy in front of him.

His love, Niah, was near dead. This needed to end, and now, or there wouldn't be a point in the universe going on. He knew that that wasn't rational, but he didn't care. Rushing Luminious, he was surprised to see that he could actually keep up with her. So surprised, in fact, that when a balst of magic hit him square in the chest, he was caught off guard. Coughing, he tried not to let himself get detered, and wanted to continue to close the distance, but was hit once more. On some level, this still struck him as a form of victory, every blast that he was getting hit with was on less that the door had to tank, but nevertheless, he was going for the total win; he would stop Luminous at all costs.

Cassandra looked up at the sky seeing that Amelia was getting overrun, she wished that there was a way for her to help out Amelia, as more and more Doom Bots surrounded her with each kill Amelia had made. "We need to focus on both Doom and Luminous, we are only adding to their numbers when we attack his robots." Cassandra said as she looked up to see Amelia getting blasted all at once by Doom's bots she closed her eyes and sighed to herself. The Doom Bot that she had killed replicated and shot a series of missles directly at Niah.

She ran straight towards Doom seeing that his personal shield was now down. Along with Raynor Cassandra tried to land a punch on him, only to miss badly she then tried to punch Raynor once more. She managed to land a hit on Doom however that didn't do anything at all after making contact with Doom's armored chest. She stared directly at him and then decided to give him a kick to the nuts hoping to at least do something, she hit him but he wasn't even hurt by it.

Maria stared at Doom for a moment, as Cassandra and Raynor went to attack him, she turned to look at Bonnie. "Yeah i'm pretty sure thats what he wants actually, being a cheesy villain wanting to make it in his own image or something like that." Maria told Bonnie, she then quickly looked at Luminous as she continued to attack the door. She quickly charged forward using Oliver's superspeed since she still had it, and charged forward towards her.

Maria managed to land a rather good hit on Luminous knocking her down and interrupting what she was actually doing, Doom was a threat but so was Luminous. And her being a speedster she could easily knock the shield down a lot quicker if no one focused on her. "Two speedsters against one should be easy right?" Maria asked looking over at Oliver.

Niah lay on the ground. She knew she should be dead. Several times over. She wasn't sure how she survived this most recent one other than the armor. Her body was in too much pain to focus on much of anything but it. She had the absurd thought that it was a good thing she wasn't pregnant in the field. And that reminded her that she was leaving the field permanently after this mission. Really she shouldn't have come back. The Secret Warriors were just that, Warriors, and she would never be on par with most of the group.

The group was overwhelmed with the Doombots and dealing with Doom and Luminous. But stopping the Doombots seemed impossible. It was like a hydra. She touched a part of the armor. Thinking, 'I need a way to stop these bots.' All the armor disappeared and in her hand appeared a small pyramid. It had a button on it. She frowned and pressed the button.

Niah didn't know what to expect but being nearly blinded had not been it. She was in a shit ton of pain and is now almost blind. But in the pyramid, she understood what she saw. How the hell this was happening was beyond her. But that was fine. She just needed to find a way to get the Doombots into the pyramid with one leg.

Everyone else was busy. Amelia was in the air. She was fighting the bots. "Amelia!" She yelled from her sitting position on the ground. She set the small pyramid off to the side slightly. "Help me by using the air to push the bots into this!" She said, pointing to the glowing spot of the pyramid.

Since Doom was covered in armor, there was no way Matt could get a touch against his skin. How that had worked for the shield was beyond him, but he'd take what miracles he could. He turned his attention to Luminous. Who was distracted doing magic. Both Oliver and Maria were focused on her. But if he could bring her speed down they'd have an even better chance.

Getting a touch on a speedster was hard. And it never seemed to last as long as it could on others. But it would give them an opening. He moved carefully and found a spot. He touched it and let out a good blast of his paralytic. Luminous slowed down. Anyone else, and they probably would have collapsed.
