Trying to Sort Things Out
Kristoff sent a message to SHIELD. Full Disclosure. Doom was not in Latveria, and the Doombot signals had apparently been hijacked.

Then he got to work trying to raise Atlantis on the communcations system. Even once a signal got through the general difficulties connections with Atlantis sometimes did, it was something of a wait for anyone of the techs on the other end to be willing to take a call coming from Doomstadt right now. Even then, it some work to get someone to take "Please put His Majesty or Her Highness through as soon as possible. No, this is not a trick, this is Kristoff Vernard of the Fantastic Four" seriously.

	The posturing is effective, the riffraff back down, and the problems get dealt with. When that's all done, and Kristoff finds him again, "That was a completely shameless exploitation of national conditioning and stereotypes," he says smiling warmly. "And I love you, too, phral."

	Vincent can't help but smile wryly as he shrugs. "I thought I played the part well enough. We shouldn't see any further problems with the likes of them. Now all we have to do is stave off war with four militant and/or technologically or genetically advanced nations and we should be able to call it a day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kristoff's had the time for a harried communication or two by now.

"I'm trying to secure us an invitation, as members of the Fantastic Four, since Latverians are hardly welcome there at the moment, to a meeting in Symkaria of national representatives involved. The two of us would head out after I ....attend to one last item of business. It is most likely some horrific trap by the real enemies behind this. Care to join me?"

	Vincent very nearly responds with something witty, but it dies as something sinks into his mind. "...I can go anywhere to protect and aid you, but... if we find him, I can't free him. I just can't." The tone is as close to an apology as he's likely to come, but it's an unspoken fact that there would be no regret. "But I will go with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff puts his arms around him and just holds for a moment. "I understand, phral." A breath. "There's...something I need. And better to save the walk, in terms of efficiency. Can you take me back to the outskirts of the city?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent looks up at his brother, and understands immediately. "Yes... I know the place." The world twists around them, and they emerge on a grassy patch where the houses and paths begin to grow thin. "Go ahead." He untangles himself from Kristoff, giving him a supportive nod. "I'll be along soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Kristoff nods appreciatively, walks over to the gypsy funeral grounds. He finds the spot, sinks to his knees, and finally lets the tears come. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent returns some time later, carrying a basket containing a thermos of tea and a covered dish of banitsa on one arm, and a bouquet of flowers in his other hand. He sets the basket down next to Kristoff, and lays the flowers in front of the grave, putting a hand on his brother's shoulder as he kneels.

"Hello Miss Vernard. My name is Vincent." He touches his fingertips to the gravestone, brushing off a stray leaf. "I just wanted to tell you that your son has grown to be a great man; he is a dedicated husband and father, and better family than I have deserved. Thank you."
