He nods. "Nothing in the Avenger's world is normal. Threats are a constant. But if the Eternals got involved and toppled all the harsh regimes and improper dictators and organizations, this world wouldn't even exist. There'd likely be no Avengers had we stopped World War II. Mortals are capable of dealing with many things themselves... this may be one of those that they have to, and should."

	"If this is the start of taking out the heroes, do you think SHIELD would stop with the humans? They could turn their attention to here. I just don't think we should stand aside and go along with what they tell us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't either. I just don't think we need to be ready to rush to the rescue every time a crisis threatens. We need to give them some time to sort it out, keep an eye on the situation, and be ready to act. If we rush in to help them now, and everything doesn't go perfectly, we commit an illegal act that weakens their position, and could easily prove to the world that this new position of Avengers as bad guys is right and justified, especially if we fail. If the Avengers decide that they need to take action, I'll be right there with them... but they need to make that decision, not have me make it for them."

	"What if they are taking action? How the hell would we know sitting here away from it all? There hasn't been one word from them. We can't keep an eye on it from here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're the Avengers. They have mages and psychics on speed dial and in their roster. You think they couldn't contact us if they really felt it necessary? They're capable people, they don't need us for everything, and if they do, they'll let us know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stop being so damn logical," she grumbled. "I'm just not used to things being so quiet and boring. I grew up in New York." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Its not boring here, there's a thousand things to do. New
York won't always exist, at least not as you know it. You can't get too attached, and even your mother has her share of time spent in Olympia."

He sighs, face going grim. "I know it sounds cold. But if we take action now, we risk everything for them on their behalf. Part of what makes mortals so interesting, so vital, is risk. If we take that away from them too often, they lose that. Even your mother didn't join the Avengers, didn't avert countless crises, until she was asked."

	Kal sighed. "I'm one of them," she said. "I grew up as one of them, not an Eternal. I'm still trying to learn what it means to be an Eternal. Of course I want to be involved because I grew up in the middle of it. I didn't grow up detached from them like everyone else in our family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He nods. "I know. And I realize that I haven't been part of the mortal world long, on either side. I've seen dozens of cultures, but always as an observer... an Eternal. My dad is passionate about humanity, he loves them, and the Eternals have modeled themselves in a lot of ways after another age of humanity. There is admiration there. But this is an opportunity to learn what being an Eternal is like. And sooner or later, you're going to need to. A lot of those stories from a long time ago that you talk about... with my dad, a lot of them are about how hard it was to lose his first wife... and second... and so on. And that was with the distance he has."

	"I guess I don't do bored very well," she finally admitted. "Maybe I should go somewhere. A country or some other place I've never been to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-09-29 08:34 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "We just can't go back to New York. The Earth is open to you. Or the universe. Where do you want to go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pick a place and let's go. I'm tired of sitting around here," she said as she sat up. Adventure was much better than sitting around and being bored in Olympia. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, how about Titan?" he asks, extending a hand. "You don't have anything else holding you on Earth right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-29 08:43 am UTC (link)
	She had a feeling he would say that. She wanted to go, but wasn't brave enough to suggest it herself. She placed her hand in his and stood up. "Fine. Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-09-29 08:46 am UTC (link)
	He nods, getting a firm grasp, and taking off from Olympia. "We'll hit space warp once we're out of Earth's gravity. Until then, you should be able to keep up fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He reaches his destination point, and they hit warp, bright light surrounding the pair, though the only real change from before is the brief moment of acceleration. "It'll be a couple hours, we'll come out about fifteen minutes from Saturn. Hope its not too boring for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is far from boring. It's incredible. I don't see why you stay on Earth when you can travel like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He considers a few moments before responding.
"Same reason your mother stays on Earth, I'd suppose. Same reason the Eternals patterned themselves after humans, read their books, listen to their music. This will always be here, so long as I am. But on Earth there's so much to do and experience. They surf, they cook, they dance, and no two days are the same. I enjoy flying, I love seeing new places, but its for the sake of the places."

	"Fair enough," she said. "At this point I am content to stay on Earth, but maybe in a century or two I'll want to explore." Of course a lot depended on how meeting her father goes. She may just like Titan and want to stay there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some ways I envy you, I've had too much of my parents hammered into me - don't get content, at least not yet. Too much to do, too much to learn about immortality. I like exploration too though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It sounds like you're rushing things. If there's anything I've learned in the past year is that there's plenty of time to learn things and do things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"True enough," she conceded. "I guess I'm just not in a rush or just being particularly lazy this year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
