Family Vacation
With the right technology, the various offspring of Nathaniel Richards I were not terribly difficult to track down when he recalled their existence.

This time, he was after his favorite unacknowledged bastard. It had been more than a decade. The lad was doing well enough for himself, apparently. No more satisfaction about siring the absolute monarch of Latveria, though. Pity about that -- some sort of Matter of Honor, wasn't it? Boy must've gotten that from Mirela. Or, well, Doom himself, from a less genetic perspective.

But his thoughts were digressing again. Kristoff. And his little friends. In need of a visit. A treat. A bit of a warning. Currently in...the region of Orlando, Florida. Nathaniel, having prepared the equipment he'd need for this little excursion, materialized in one of the rooms of the resort suite in which they were staying. Seeing only Kristoff there, he at first said nothing and just smiled.

The vacation was going well so far, Kristoff thought. Scotty'd certainly enjoyed an eventful day. And the view from their room was beautiful.

And then, there's someone in the room, and -- oh.

"Hello, Nathaniel," Kristoff said with polite apathy.

Cassie was in the adjoining room and heard Kristoff speak. When she heard that name her mind immediately went there.

She was in Kristoff's room in seconds and when she saw which Nathaniel it was she breathed a sigh of relief.

Not that she wanted to see this Nathaniel Richards but it was much better than the other.

"What do you want?"

"Why hello there... eh, Cassandra, isn't it? Hm. My second wife's name. Beautiful woman. Terrible temper. But I digress. I'm not sure what you're asking. Can't an exceedingly old man pay a friendly visit when passing through the appropriate corner of the timestream?"

Kristoff steps closer to Cassie.

"I would ask if you could possibly be so kind as to share the agenda for this visit, but it would probably be discourteous to tax your imagination."

Cassie simply folded her arms and glared at the intruder. She wasn't about to dignify him with a response.

Kristoff listens, then starts to step a little in front of Cassandra. "If that is an invitation for a more direct demonstration of something, no such thing is happening without an explanation."

"I'm checking on Scotty." Because if one Nathaniel Richards could show up who said the other one wouldn't? "You can handle him, right Kristoff?" Have some father son bonding time, all that jazz.

Andrea's voice preceded her into the room. "Kristoff? Vincent and I just wished to let you know you, Cassie, and Scotty will be on your own for dinner. Vincent and I have made our own arrangements..."

She trailed off as she caught sight of Nathaniel. "Oh. I see that you have... company."

Vincent was just behind Andrea, looking perhaps a bit mussed from how they'd occupied themselves on the shuttle bus over.

"Oh..." He walked into the room, giving a flat look at Nathaniel. "The relic." He looked to Kristoff with concern. "Are you alright?"

Kristoff first nods to Andrea, then to his brother, "Yes, thank you, Vincent. Nathaniel, I am not sure you were ever properly introduced to my brother, Vincent Amorason. Our colleague, 'Awesome' Andrea. Andrea, this is Dr. Nathaniel Richards...the first," he quickly adds for unnecessary clarity.

"Lovely to meet you, young lady," Nathaniel says to Andrea, his tone and expression very 'polite old man' with a touch of sleaze. "I do hope your other plans won't tear you away too quickly."

And then he looks to Vincent. "Ah, yes. Your ...brother. Well, he's too young to be Mirela's, and I felt sure I was keeping decent track these days...."

If Nathaniel's aware that that's the closest he's ever come to acknowledging their genetic relationship to Kristoff's face, he doesn't let on.
"But it is nice to get to see the lot of you."

Latveria, 2009*

At the end of the four hours, with thankfully no injuries, they were transported to a cooler, drier, breezier climate. Electronics will be easily sensed again, and magic feels like it's definitely known the hand of man.

Of course, magic in the immediate vicinity has only known the hand of one, man.

Kristoff's eyes closed at the flash of light. He knew where they had gone before he even opened them again, though he wouldn't let himself believe it. The smells on the wind. The exact sound of the way the water fell in the fountain in the square.

And he does open his eyes, and oh Devel, it's true.

Kristoff just stares at the cobblestone streets of Doomstadt, Latveria.

Cassie had never been to Latveria but she recognized Doom's Castle in the distance. And if she'd had any doubts after that, Kristoff's reaction swept them all away.

Cassie reached for his hand. "Is this...?"

Kristoff just nods as he takes her hand in his, looking somewhat...enraptured.

Vincent's stomach falls a mile as he realizes their new location as well. He instinctively shifts to put his brother between him and the castle. He can't bring himself to say anything to either confirm or dispel the perception of his unease.

With electronic signals returned, Andrea is quite easily able to use GPS to determine their location, not that the situation requires it.

She looks over both Vincent and Kristoff with concern. "We need to find a way to leave as soon as possible," she said.

"That may or may not be wise, young lady, once you have explained yourselves."

Doom appears and strides closer, looking to each of them but soon addressing Kristoff.
"Vernard, imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but this is entirely bizarre. I am waiting."

Vincent wheels sharply at the appearance, face twisting from paranoia to panic, to rage. He swings his arms to his sides, balls of flame appearing in each of them, clearly ready to act.

It was before Vincent's hands even lit up that Kristoff had automatically stepped between him and Doom.

"Sir. We are here entirely unintentionally, I swear, and contrary to appearances we are not looking for a fight. If you do have a quarrel, Sir, it should only be with me..." And even amongst all the shock, something processes. "...Imitation, Sir?" he asks quizically.

Andrea also places herself between Vincent and Doom. Unlike the other members of the team, she has no first-hand experience with the not-so-good Doctor, and thus absolutely no issues with fighting him.

"We did not intend to come here," she said, backing Kristoff up. "And wish to leave as soon as possible."

Doom clearly activates some fancy defensive systems, but makes no aggresive moves.

"Your presence, Vernard, is not the problem so much as your apparently teleporting very....excitable young foreigners into the middle of the city." Beat, the next part with a very ironic tone. "And your dress sense. I am not surprised that you could duplicate the armor, Vernard, but Fantastic Four uniforms?"

"Wait," Cassie said, holding out her arm between her team and Doom in case anyone got any ideas. "I think we're all mistaken. This is a different time line than ours. Dr. Doom- if that's what you're called here, we were transported here, through time, against our will. What's the date?"

The date Doom names will correspond precisely with Andrea's internal chronometer. "I am indeed Victor Von Doom, and I would concur with your assumption," he tells Cassie. "That seems the most reasonable explanation for the situation. Am I to assume that in your timeline, you, Vernard, the boy sorcerer and the charming young synthetic sentience replaced my...Distinguished Colleagues upon their retirement or other absence?"
