Countdown to the end of the Christmas event with some set-ups in Santa's last post.

Worlds Collide: A Merged Universe Superhero Roleplay

Winslow Schott's Flat
Christmas Eve

As Thor traveled through London it hit him that this was his first time across the pond. He actually had never ventured far from home despite having the ability to fly and create portals to wherever he wanted to go. Metropolis was amazing, but there was a whole world out there that needed his help. He couldn't be so selfish. With all the power he had came the responsibility to use it to serve others. He had spent so long hiding in the shadows that it didn't even cross his mind once he came into the light. He could blame it on the persecution he received early in his public career and fearing that it'd only make it worse if he interfered with events on foreign soil, but all that would've been was an excuse. He just truly never thought of it until now. Now that he learned that he genuinely was a god he felt that he needed to be more than just his hometown hero. But he could worry about that later. It was a big planet and right now he didn't know where to start.

Santa's reindeer brought him to an apartment building or whatever the British call it and hovered outside of a window. "I guess this is it." He said before picking up his trusty hammer and hovering over to the fire escape. He smashed the window to get inside. "He won't be using this for a while." Thor entered and immediately saw Santa Claus trapped in a cell. How did Toyman even get this thing in here and what was it made of if it could contain a magical being like Santa? He wondered if it was even intended for Santa. He doubted Toyman knew that Santa existed before tonight. He didn't. He may never get the answer to that, but it didn't matter right now. He ran over to the cage preparing to destroy it with Mjolnir, but was stopped by Santa.

"STOP!" Santa yelled. "If you hit it with that you'll only make it stronger. It's made of a combination of Uru and Nth metal. The former is what your hammer is made of and you see how durable it is. The latter negates magic."

So that's what Mjolnir was made of. He never actually cared to think about it. He was just glad that he had it. But if it negated magic he now understood how Santa was captured. Maybe this cage was meant for him, but the question was how Toyman continued to gain access to things he shouldn't have. Even the gun that knocked him out back in the park was made of the same stuff. Maybe he'd sneak into jail later and ask him. But since Thor couldn't use Mjolnir or magic, which he figured his lightning was, he had another idea. His strength was physically his. It shouldn't technically be magical. He approached the bars of the cage in front of Santa and placed Mjolnir on the ground before gripping the bars with his hands. He exhaled slowly and pulled at the bars with all of his strength. At first it felt like they wouldn't budge, but he continued to pull until they moved and bent out of shape. Thor made a hole big enough for Santa to exit his makeshift prison and stepped back to let him do so.

Santa stepped through the opening and stretched from having to sit in there for so long. "I'm finally free! Thank you, Thor, or should I say Donald?"

"Wait you know--- of course you do. You're Santa Claus. It's still crazy that you're real."

"Imagine how I felt when I had to start delivering gifts to the son of Odin. Speaking of, I need to get back to work. Need a ride?"

So even Santa knew he was a god before he did and it was official. He was Thor, son of Odin. "No, thank you. I have my own way. Plus, you have a night of gift delivering to do. I'm just glad I could help free you and finally stop Toyman. I just wish the boys at the Demolitions Site were awake to hear the good news."

Santa walked past Thor and said, "They will be," with hearty Ho, Ho, Ho.

Thor turned to face Santa after his last Ho and saw that he was gone. He ran towards the window and saw that even the reindeer were gone. "Smooth, old man. I gotta try that one day." He called Mjolnir before giving it a twirl and aimed it out of the window creating a portal to Ace O'Clubs. He jumped through the portal with it closing it behind him.

This is an involuntary ability, his eyes produce the beams constantly and cannot be switched off through conscious effort, a consequence of neurological damage that prevents his brain from naturally processing and absorbing the energy. The beams are not heat-based but purely concussive, and Scott has developed precise control over their width, intensity and focus despite their involuntary nature. - ◼ ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY Scott's mutation grants him a degree of physical resilience beyond a standard human baseline, allowing him to withstand the physical strain of channelling his optic blasts without lasting damage to himself. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ RUBY QUARTZ VISOR The only reliable means of containing Scott's optic blasts. The visor is fitted with ruby quartz lenses that absorb the energy his eyes constantly produce, releasing it in a controlled beam only when the trigger is engaged. Without it Scott keeps his eyes shut to prevent uncontrolled discharge. - J E A N G R E Y A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ TELEPATHY Jean possesses the ability to read, project into, and influence the minds of others. This power was suppressed by Professor Xavier during her early development and has only recently become active, meaning she is still learning to filter and direct it. At present she experiences the thoughts of those around her as an overwhelming and near-constant noise, though her raw potential in this area is considered extraordinary even among other telepaths. - ◼ TELEKINESIS Jean can move and manipulate objects and people with the force of her mind. This ability is combat-ready and precise at smaller scales, though at its upper limits it becomes harder to contain and direct. At the peak of her demonstrated ability she has produced a fusion of her telepathy and telekinesis simultaneously, projecting psychic force in ways that go beyond either discipline in isolation. - H A N K M C C O Y A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ SUPERHUMAN PHYSIQUE Hank's mutation grants him strength, agility and reflexes considerably beyond a standard human baseline. At this stage of his development his body still appears broadly human in proportion, but his physical capabilities in close quarters are substantial, with his agility and coordination in particular being exceptional. - W A R R E N W O R T H I N G T O N I I I A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ WINGED FLIGHT Warren's mutation produced a large pair of feathered wings capable of sustaining flight at significant speed and altitude. His physiology is adapted to support this, with a lightweight but durable bone structure and enhanced eyesight suited to aerial navigation. The wings are strong enough to be used offensively in close combat as well as for travel, and Warren has developed considerable skill in using them tactically in both capacities. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ BOW Warren carries a bow as a ranged combat option, allowing him to engage targets from altitude in situations where his wings alone are insufficient. - B O B B Y D R A K E A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ CRYOKINESIS Bobby has comprehensive control over ice and temperature, capable of generating and shaping ice in virtually any form he can conceive of. He can lower the ambient temperature of his immediate environment, encase objects or opponents in ice, and construct structures of considerable size and complexity. The theoretical ceiling of this ability places him in a rare category of mutant whose power at its maximum is genuinely difficult to quantify or contain. - ◼ ICE ARMOUR Bobby can coat himself in a shell of solid ice that serves as both armour and a means of physical augmentation, enhancing his strength and durability in direct confrontations while protecting him from damage. - ◼ MOISTURE MANIPULATION Beyond generating ice directly Bobby can manipulate the moisture already present in the air around him, flash-freezing it to create constructs, projectiles or a surface he can travel across at speed. -

Even among more experienced fighters he is instinctively deferred to as a field leader. - ◼ COMBAT TRAINING Trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat and in the tactical application of his optic blasts, Scott is a capable and disciplined fighter even when separated from his visor. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ SPATIAL AWARENESS Scott possesses an innate and exceptional ability to read the geometry of a space, tracking multiple moving targets and calculating angles and trajectories with instinctive accuracy. This gift underpins both his tactical thinking and his precise control over his blasts. - J E A N G R E Y S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ COMBAT APPLICATION OF POWERS Though her abilities are still developing, Jean has trained in applying both her telepathy and telekinesis in live combat situations, learning to use each to complement the other under pressure. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ INNATE PSYCHIC SENSITIVITY Even before her telepathy fully manifested, Jean possessed a natural attunement to the emotional states of those around her, an instinctive empathy that now feeds directly into her developing telepathic range and nuance. - ◼ FORCE OF WILL Jean's ability to push through psychic strain and external mental pressure, even when her powers are unstable or being actively suppressed, points to an exceptional degree of mental resilience that appears to be intrinsic rather than trained. - H A N K M C C O Y S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ SCIENTIFIC INTELLECT Hank possesses one of the most formidable scientific minds on the planet, with expertise spanning biology, genetics, physics and engineering. He applies this intellect with a methodical rigour that makes him as dangerous in a laboratory as he is in the field. - ◼ ARCANE STUDY Alongside his scientific disciplines Hank has developed a working practical knowledge of magic, studying arcane principles and incantation with the same systematic approach he applies to his science. His ability to combine these two disciplines gives him a problem-solving range that is genuinely unusual. - ◼ HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT Trained in close quarters fighting, Hank is capable of using his enhanced physique to considerable effect in direct physical confrontations. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ POLYMATH APTITUDE Hank's ability to absorb, retain and synthesise information across multiple unrelated disciplines simultaneously appears to go beyond what trained study alone could account for, suggesting a natural cognitive gift that underpins all of his intellectual pursuits. - W A R R E N W O R T H I N G T O N I I I S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ AERIAL COMBAT Warren has trained extensively in fighting from the air, using his speed, elevation and manoeuvrability as strategic advantages. He is equally comfortable engaging opponents in the air or diving into ground-level confrontations. - ◼ HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT Beyond his wings Warren is a capable and practiced physical fighter, trained in close quarters combat that makes use of his enhanced physique. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ NATURAL ATHLETICISM Even setting aside his mutation Warren possesses a level of physical coordination, spatial awareness in three dimensions and instinctive grace in motion that marks him as naturally gifted well beyond the human norm. - B O B B Y D R A K E S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ COMBAT APPLICATION OF POWERS Bobby has trained in applying his abilities offensively and defensively in live combat, developing a practical and increasingly inventive approach to using his cryokinesis in situations that require rapid adaptation. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ INTUITIVE CREATIVITY Bobby's approach to his powers is notably instinctive rather than methodical, generating novel applications and constructs in the moment rather than through prior planning. This natural inventiveness gives his fighting style an unpredictability that more rigidly trained opponents struggle to anticipate. -

The original five X-Men, Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Hank McCoy, Warren Worthington and Bobby Drake, from the earliest days of the Xavier Institute have found themselves in a time not their own. The five oldest students of the Xavier Institute were not brought forward in time. They were taken.

The signal that tore them from their own era bore no resemblance to anything in Charles Xavier's laboratory. It came without warning, without consent, and without the careful theoretical scaffolding that underpins sanctioned time displacement. One moment they were where they belonged. The next they were not, arriving in a present that greeted them not with confusion or cautious welcome but with immediate and overwhelming violence.

Their captor was a machine that called itself Nimrod, a sentinel intelligence originating from a dimension in which the merger of human consciousness and artificial dominion was on the verge of completion, prevented only by the continued efforts of the few lingering mutants and their ability to wield the Phoenix Force and reform time itself with the many deaths of Moira. Nimrod had studied the timelines with the patience of something that did not experience time the way its targets did, and it had reached a precise and clinical conclusion: that the five were more dangerous in potential than most were in fact. That the most efficient solution was to remove them before that potential could be realised. Thus, the X-Men of days past have been pulled forwards into this, largely irrelevant (by Nimrod's opinion) time and dimension to be dealt with swiftly.

Quite simply I have wanted to write the Timelost X-Men for some time and the opportunity has never really arisen. With current players being up for it I'd like to dive into a rewrite of their origin. This focuses on my favourite aspects of the Orchis plotline, that of the eventual conversion of humanity by the sentinels themselves into Posthumans, with the end goal of joining with the Dominion. As with many things, by seeking to use time to prevent one of the final roadblocks, Nimrod will create the means of their own defeat as is often the case with comic time travel stories.

Paris Island, Dakota City
The Aftermath

The familiar sound of KRS-One's Sound of da Police playing from his phone startled Virgil and his friends awake. "Shit. It's my dad." Virgil said as he snapped up from Daisy's comfortable bed. He reached for his phone on the nightstand and looked at the caller ID for a second before deciding it was better to answer it. "Hey, dad. I'm sorry for not letting you know where I was. I crashed at Richie's."

"I'm just glad you weren't caught up in that Big Bang by the docks. Your mom was busy all night transporting kids and officers. We were afraid you'd be one of them."

"If only you knew, dad." Virgil thought to himself before verbally responding to his father. "Richie and I saw it on the news last night. A lot of those kids went to our school, but you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."

"I need you down at the Community Center today. We're putting together care packages for the victims' families. Get here as soon as you can."

"I got you. See you later, Pops." Virgil hung up the phone and placed it back down on the nightstand. He felt a jolt of electricity travel from his hand to the phone as he put it down and picked it up again to see if it was okay. It was more than okay. It was fully charged. "That's weird. I could've sworn it was on sixty."

Daisy turned to face Virgil, a pillow separating the two in the bed. "Everything okay? You're leaving already?"

"Yeah..." Virgil said, not entirely sure about the first question. "Everything's good, I think. My dad wants me to go to the Community Center and help out, but there's no rush."

"We can come with you." Richie said. "We need to talk more about last night and make sure that gas didn't affect you."

"We could stop by the hospital on the way and get you checked out. Your mom should be off work by now." Daisy added.

Virgil honestly did not want to go to the hospital, but he knew that his friends would force him to if he didn't agree so to save himself the trouble he decided to give in.

Dakota City Medical

Virgil had never been to war and desperately hoped he would never have to, but if he had to guess this is what the medical tent would look like, but a thousand times worse. It was chaos everywhere. Nurses and doctors were scrambling to help patients and figure out what was happening to them. Patients were screaming in pain and confusion as their bodies transformed into disfigured messes. Virgil covered his mouth and ran back outside to throw up. He hunched over and puked out nothing but stomach acid.

Richie and Daisy followed him outside and rubbed his back. "Are you okay?" Daisy asked.

"I can't go back in there. I can't end up like that. Please don't tell me I'm going to end up like that."

"I don't think you will. I mean, you haven't gone all nightmarish already."

"Oh, this has to be the greatest day of my life." A voice called out sending a shiver down Virgil's spine. "First, I survive that nightmare last night to become new and improved. Now I get to finish what I started with you at the docks."

Virgil was frozen in fear. If he had to be honest he would have hoped that of all people, Frank didn't survive last night's incident. He would have been fine with him still being bedridden right now, but nope. He looked completely fine and was spouting some nonsense about being new and improved.

When Frank sparked a flame in his hand Virgil realized it wasn't nonsense he was spouting. He thought back to the victims of the gas back inside the hospital and realized that they were being transformed. It was like the gas was forcing them to awaken or manifest an X-Gene. "Come on, stupid legs. Move." He muttered to himself as he tried to command his body to get the hell out of dodge. He turned to see Daisy and Richie were in a similar state of fear. He hated his cowardice. He hated the fact that he was about to get his friends killed. The only thing he could move was his arms. He closed his eyes and thrust his arms forward in a poor attempt to block the flames for his friends. He could feel the heat, but he couldn't feel his arms or body burning. Virgil opened his eyes to see a shield of electricity projected from the palms of his hand. It was solid enough to block the flames and snap him and his friends out of their fear.

"Virgil..." Daisy started to say before Richie cut her off.

"Dude! You have powers!"

"I... I have powers." Virgil said turning his look of confusion into a confident smirk.

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... __________________________________________________________________________________ Hi. My name is Gwen Stacy. I’m kind of a problem. Five years ago, I was bitten by a genetically modified spider engineered by OsCorp Industries. It changed my life. When I was in High School, I was kind of a wallflower. The friends I did have could probably fit at a single circular table in the school cafeteria. I drifted between two worlds, the art clique and the geek clique. We didn’t do sports. We built things, spat out ink on a page, and imagined a world better than the one we were in. At the center of that was one guy: Peter Parker. When we met, his mom and dad weren’t around anymore. I had just lost my mom. The angst drew us together, but we really stayed for the science. It was like we were meant to be friends. Maybe meant to be more. I don’t know. It’s something I think about, especially with a lot of what’s happened since high school in the rear view. He was the only one who picked up on things but he was always the last one to speak up. I think becoming a superhero ruined our relationship. I couldn’t handle being Spider-Woman, Peter Parker’s girlfriend, a scientific genius every college wanted, and the daughter of Captain George Stacy all at once. It broke me. I grew distant, angry, and lost. I’m still angry, if you believe the papers about the dangers of the Spider-Menace. The Daily Bugle also says I’m irresponsible, incompetent, and a threat to the safety of every person in New York City. It’s something I read every day and if I don’t read it I hear it, because the guy who runs it also loves to hear himself speak on his podcast. It’s daunting. But I have to continue fighting. Living by my father’s example. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Yeah, I’m thinking I’m back. Gwen Stacy’s run as Ghost Spider/Spider-Woman is an interesting one. In my first move in my return to Worlds Collide I am interpreting her alongside Half Pint’s take on Otto Octavius. The idea is to share Spider-Man legacy worldbuilding as we play off each other and see events unfold in a shared universe. I’ve spoken with him and he seems favorable to such collaboration. So I am interested into giving it a good college try. N O T E S N O T E S ________________________________________________________________________________________
