Kidnapped again

[xp_daytripper]

Only this time it was by Strange and Rom all day yesterday for the magical side of the physical. Cleaning the last of the Enchantress's spell out of my head (Manny broke it, but he couldn't get rid of all of it, not being a magic user), checking things out power-wise, another dawn purification ritual in the fucking buff (Strange wasn't there for that *snorts*). Upshot is I have a shiny new amulet thingie, made with the Asgard power Strange got from Doug, blue this time, and a weird, disconnected sort of feeling. I think Rom's playing with my reactions a bit, worried I'm about to freak out or something.

Oh, and I'm due some karmic backlash for a certain binding spell. Actually, I'm already getting backlash of a sort, but that's different. Still, I did what I thought I had to do, and I'll accept the results, even if they suck.

Called Beth last night after the Wonder Twins were done with me. Shinobi, any chance of that ride this afternon?

Manny? He sent us to Asgard. He is the reason Doug has a scar on his chest, the reason I have scars on my shoulder.

He is the reason we -all- had to deal with three months of hell. How can you say he is not -that- bad?

That's... not how I'd describe my time there, though I do know most of the rest of you had it much worse.

True. And Doug did not have a bad time as well, not did Jamie aside from the being stabbed. I should not really dump my bad expirence on the rest of you.

But still, it does not change what Loki did.

I know. I was quibbling, I suppose.

I'm also a little confused. The stories I'd read had Loki as Odin's blood brother, not son. I'm not going to worry about it much though.

Scars

[xp_daytripper]

Rom said to let Doug and anyone else who might need it know that she's available for healing magic. She won't let me do it, since she's still figuring out my power levels after all this (hey, progress, I can actually handle more before either the addiction kicks in or my head explodes, go me), but she's more than willing to hlp.

...

This is going to sound stupid, but I kind of want to keep mine. It is.. a reminder.

not so stupid

[xp_daytripper]

Remember who you're talking to? Not that I wouldn't get rid of most of mine if I had the chance, but I think I'd probably keep a couple, just to remind me. Remy said once they showed I was a survivor, not a victom, and I'm starting to realise what he meant.

I'm rather inclined to do the same as Angie. Yeah, it hurt, but it's a reminder that once upon a time, the guy with the most passive power around got to save the day. :)

Re: not so stupid

[xp_daytripper]

*nods* Fair enough. Rom figured you'd say something like that, but said to make the offer any way.

Re: not so stupid

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I should have realized you would understand. I am ... not thinking clearly today.

Re: not so stupid

[xp_daytripper]

Not a problem - 's to be expected. Dimensional jet lag is a bitch.

I keep thinking it should be cold and snowy outside, and not hot and humid.

On the other hand, I did not miss my birthday!

Because I _got to know him_?

I never said he was perfect. He took all of us and scattered us across space and time for revenge, and because he is the God of Chaos, and you'll have to admit that all of us running around was highly chaotic.

That it was. I'm sure he got a wonderful laugh out of it.

It does not mean I have any intention of forgiving him anytime soon. Nor do I really expect him to care.
