Things Are Falling Out of The Sky (open to Defenders)
The first thing that registered in Quinn's mind was that he was falling. The second was that the ground was coming up REALLY fast. Third was that it was going to be very painful. He tried slowing his descent, but there hadn't been that much air space left. He hit the ground with a loud thud and a groan.

By the Vishanti that hurt.

Moving was not an option at the moment. His whole body hurt. He was going to stay there on the nice comfy grass. Yup, nice comfy grass. Nice and soft and cool. The air was nice and warm and the sun was bright.

He did raise his head and look around a bit. Where was he? He saw a very large mansion and could smell the salt in the air. He had to be near an ocean, but which one? More importantly how did he get here?

And why the hell was he naked?

	Quinn smiled. "No, I'm not a demon. Demons could only hope to look as good as me." He laughed and tried to sit up. It hurt, but he moved slowly and eventually sat up. "Defenders, huh?" He didn't remember the Defenders being active, but he wasn't sure how long he had been gone. "Is Dr. Strange around?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. This is Los Angeles." She watched him move with rapt attention. "I heard he was traveling through the dimensions but that was before I left the Dark Dimension. How do you know Dr. Strange?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LA. Interesting. The last thing he remembered was being in New York and meditating. Most strange. "I'm his apprentice," Quinn said. Her words and the little trick she just did, sank in. He smiled. "Have been for the last eleven years. Do you happen to have a cell phone on you, luv?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He doesn't...have...one..." she said, her voice slowing as she thought it through, "here. Clea raised raised me in the Dark Dimension. Dr. Strange was a frequent visitor. I don't carry a cell phone." She looked apologetic. "they don't seem to last long with me. You can use the house phone and have some tea. There may still be cookies if Ohu hasn't eaten them all. Do you need help standing up?"

	"You're a student of Mistress Clea? Something tells me I'm bloody far from home." He shifted a little and while there was pain, it wasn't quite as bad as before. "I'd be a bloody fool to refuse help from a pretty girl." He smiled. "Tea and a bite to eat would be smashing." The it struck him. "And so would a pair of trousers if possible."

Marlow was not accustomed to flirting, or being told she was pretty by anyone other than Argo when he first arrived. Her female teammates tended to draw that sort of attention while they were in public. "Clea has been my teacher and guardian for as long as I can remember."

She rose gracefully to her feet and went to him to offer a hand. "Sydney and Sarah feed four Asgardians and a spider god on a daily basis. Food and tea is something we have plenty of in the kitchen. Clothing won't be a problem, either."

He took the hand and stood up. "I summon the Vapors of Valtorr," he said as he cast the spell. He could localize the fog around him so he wasn't as naked as a jaybird. The fog moved in and surrounded his waist. "There. Don't want to be offending the locals."

"Four Asgardians and a spider god?" Definitely not in Kansas anymore. There were no Asgardians or a spider god in LA where he was from. Dr. Strange was definitely not traveling the dimensions.

"After you, madam." He grinned cheekily.

	She was vaguely disappointed at the localized fog, but it was just as well. Zoey needed protecting from strange naked men. Zoey had fierce protectors in the Defenders. She gave him a not-so-vague smile and began walking toward the mansion. "We are a sister team to the Avengers in New York. Have you heard of them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who hasn't?" he asked. "I know them well. Dr. Strange works with them frequently. I have a feeling I'm not in the world I know, but I have no bloody clue how I got here. Less of a clue how to get home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-08 10:44 am UTC (link)
	"You aren't or you and I would have met many times given Clea's relationship with Dr. Strange, but perhaps we can help. Whose power brought you here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-08 10:47 am UTC (link)
	"No clue, luv," Quinn said as they walked. The mists followed him and kept his favorite parts covered. "They shagging in this dimension too?" Quinn had to chuckle. He learned about women from somewhere and he had spent more time with Master Strange than his own father. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It wasn't a term she heard often, but Marlow understood the meaning. The Dark Dimension hadn't done much to socialize her, though sex was as normal a topic there as it was here. Just add in the power aspects and demonic elements. "They're very close. Clea often sent me on errands when he visited." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-08 11:00 am UTC (link)
	Quinn laughed. "That happened to me when she'd visit him. Somehow some bloody thing in a far corner of the place needed cleaning or I had to go fetch something from the store." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-08 11:07 am UTC (link)
	She smiled more broadly. "Once I was gone for three days on one of her errands and they never noticed. Clea was always easier on my lessons after one of their visits." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-08 11:17 am UTC (link)
	Quinn laughed again. "That sounds about right. Though after one of Mistress Clea's stays, I had harder lessons because of the slacking off I did when she was here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They reached the side door to the main house and Marlow opened it. "If you'd like to make use of the bathroom and clean up, I'll ask Sarah for some clothes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brit_sorcerer 2010-02-08 11:26 am UTC (link)
	"That'd be absolutely smashing," he said with a grin. "Even if it's an old blanket or something. I can take care of the rest." He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Thank you, luv." He went inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-02-08 11:31 am UTC (link)
	Marlow blinked after him. That was...interesting. She led the way to a downstairs bathroom and then went off to tell Sarah they had a hungry guest who needed some clothes until he could get some. (Reply to this)(Parent)
