Asgardian Gethsemene, Part 2a (Dory, Jubilee, Nate, Laura)
With half the visitors gone, aside from a lot of flustered people and sighing at the Enchantress's high-handedness, it was mostly down to work.

Fenris is loose. The Jotun will begin amassing. From the chatter, the situation in Hel is... complicated. But weapons are being delivered, the fortifications are being checked....

	Nate focused his mind a little while they had some time before things got really exciting. He remembered a lot of what his dad used to say before going into a fight which helped him a lot in situations like this. He wasn't sure how much of it would really apply to all of this but it certainly couldn't hurt. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dory looked around for someone who seemed to be in charge, keeping close to Jubilee so that he wouldn't lose her in the crowd. It would be best get her and her expertise introduced before things got too settled, though the Asgardians seemed to have a solid plan already. Not that he found that surprising, considering who they were. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

True enough, the Asgardians had most things in place, but Jubilee was offering some fresh perspectives. Ice giants and giant robots had enough commonality for her to give some useful advice. Just swap out lasers and missiles for siege weapons and the occasional spellcaster.

"Units with shields should be accompanying supply runners at least two to one. If something comes down from above, you make sure that runner can keep moving, and doesn't have to drop their load. And make sure that signal flags and fires have at least two redundancies for each major point."

The dwarves and Asgardians quickly decide Jubilee can be comprehensible on occasion and take her suggestions seriously.

The young dwarf-king looks to the visitors. "What I'm most worried about is when the dark elves join the fight; the illusionists. Never could get handle on that stuff, and when we don't know what to expect, but are hoping some of our own come home...."

	Dory considered the dwarf-king's words for a moment, then moved over to talk to Nate. "I don't suppose your powers are notably good at seeing through illusions?" he asked quietly, not wanting to get anyone's hopes up unnecessarily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Psychic illusions. Yeah no problem but not exactly helpful against magic," Nate says, "Should still be able to detect their minds though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Word comes in from the pack, further out. The Jotun are coming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jubilee mumbles something to herself, biting at the corner of her lip in thought. "I've got a trick I'm fairly certain will work... I can penetrate enemy lines without getting slowed down, but we'll need to ID the illusionists first. Not sure how magic will work on a vampire though, just hasn't come up yet."

	"Can you create psychic illusions?" Dory asks Nate. "Because if you can do that to keep them from seeing us and scan for illusionists, I can fly you over their heads so that we can ID them for Jubilee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	force_of_will 2013-12-08 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah I could definitely do both of those things," Nate says with a nod, "Though I can fly myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jubilee extends her arm and seems to concentrate, before it turns immaterial. "Okay... I got this. Powers still work the same here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I'll leave the pair of you to work out the details," Dory says with a nod, turning back to the dwarves and Asgardians. He might not be useful to the two of them; but a person with superior-to-human strength, shape-shifting, and flight was never entirely useless in a fight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll fly up and see if I can find any dark elves and let you know if I do," Nate says. "Should also be able to provide do telekinetic support where needed. Just let me know where." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And the cry comes up from some of the Asgardian defenders. "They're back already!"

Because in the distance, there is a girl who looks precisely, exactly like Irene Fandralsdottir, who is already involved in the defense. Thus, the Asgardians figure, it must be the girl who went looking for Odin, because everyone has heard she looks exactly like Irene, but with Mjolnir. And this girl is wielding Mjolnir plus everything: Irene's looks, Irene's reproduction of her mother's clothing, Irene's sword...

	Dory pauses, wary of unexpected arrivals when it's known that illusionists are about. He retreats back to Nate and Jubilee. "Check and make sure that's her," he tells the former in an undertone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll see what I can do," Nate says as he telepathically reached out to find out a little more about the new arrival. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	exiles_hero 2014-01-13 02:33 am UTC (link)
	And Nate will hear... Nothing. The defenders have not left the walls in any way, or actively left holes open ... yet. The dwarves are still being fairly obsessive, but the relief is seeming palpable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's not good," Nate says to the others, "I don't hear anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dory takes a deep breath, chest expanding to humanly-impossible proportions as he shifts his larynx to accommodate what he's about to do next. "ILLUSION!" he roars, pointing at the empty shape approaching them. "PREPARE YOURSELVES; WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And it is at the point that the defenses are entirely redirected. It's not going to be an easy fight, and not a winnable won if things get worse -- which judging by what has been said of expectations, they will -- but there will definitely be no ambush. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nate start to let loose with his TK against the enemies. It was nice not to have to use the telepathy any more. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Who else knows what might have happened in the battle before the absent members of the exiles, along with Thor and Odin, reappeared along the battlements. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	notallhunkydory 2014-03-02 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Dory snags the team telepath and points in the direction of the newly-arrived figures. "Friends or foes?" he asks, entirely prepared to leap in and start flinging bodies around if Nate indicated the latter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jubilee shimmers back into view, stray mist coalescing. She wipes her mouth, before pocketing a handkerchief. (Reply to this)(Parent)
