Poseidon Energy; Research and Development   

“Mrs. Patton. We’re ready to begin any moment.”

“Wonderful, we have some big potential investors in this project, all the major Military branches and even STRIKE. This better work, a whole lot of money is at stake here profits skyrocketing into the millions. We can save lives protect civilians and military personnel.”

Well, shall we flip the switch, and impress these Careers?”

With a quick flip of a switch located at the end of a console the machine fired a grid of interlocking light. “Ladies and Gentlemen I present the Bulwark Of Aegis.Named after the Greek Mythological shield carried by Zeus and Athena this grid of energy will absorb any kinetic, thermal or even nuclear energy, any and all forms of damage, whether you have a launching missile or a Super Villain who emits lasers from his pupils as long as there is an energy source powerful enough to sustain the blast any and all damage is negligible.”

A man stood up among the crowd.”So what you're saying Miss Patton, is that we need a constant source of power equaling that of an atomic detonation to - withstand an atomic detonation. Am I understanding that, or did I miss something?”

Turning to the man Briley smiled and said. “You’re not wrong of course, however allow me to explain, the way the Bulwark works is that the electricity is converted into solid matter and is then looped back into the machine and reconfigured back into energy, meaning although it does require a massive power source it only needs a faction of that energy to sustain the field. While power loss is inevitable of course and we are working on the exceptional power requirements, any more questions?”

--- Meanwhile at Stonehenge ---

Arthur Pendragon had already reached the great Stonehenge and had begun to activate the ancient device, pressing the rocks and glyphs as they are revealed in order. “For the.. God dammit!! Why is this so complicated - activate the.. Confounded device! Who thought this was a good idea!!” As Arthur cursed at the glyphs he continued pressing them until they pinged all at once emitting a tone that resounded all throughout the country side.

“And there we go, now that should get Merlin's attention.”

Lo and behold it did as Merlin sat around “Nixonland” As the plebeian tended to call it, he did have far more knowledge about this new world. Although he was borish by her standards, but of course by now she knew enough about this world to be on her own; which was probably a bad thing considering all the damage she’d cause. As she mulled about no doubt to Nixon’s distain a pulse of magical energy rushed through the world gaining her attention. “Stonehenge no doubt a bit crude but effective. So perhaps I will pop by and see who's knocking.”

As the moment of triumph Arthur felt as he finally activated Stonehenge passed, he began to question if this would even work having never needed to use Stonehenge for anything before; his exhilaration turned to mild confusion and then boredom as minutes passed until a blinding flash of light ripped through the center of the monument. And a woman barely dressed stepped forward.

Arthur readied himself for what could be an enemy.”WHO ARE YOU!! One of Morgana’s disciples no doubt.”

The woman gave a wretched smile as she began to speak.”Morgana. You still haven’t killed her yet, my you are a disappointment, when I decided to sate my curiosity as to whom activated this relic I found none other than King Arthur himself, shame you’re merely a ghost you’d be useful in the things to come.”

“ENOUGH of this, name yourself or become thine enemy!”

With a chuckle of amusement she obliged him.”I am Merlin of Medieval Earth, Superheroes aren’t the only ones who dimension hop. Of course my Arthur was a bit more handsome, you should really do something about that ghastly beard, trim it or anything really.”

As Arthur processed the possibility of a new Merlin he became offensive yet again.”If you are an alternate Merlin, where is the one from this Earth, if you’ve done any harm to him I swear..”

“Oh please, knowing my alternate half he’s in the middle of world ending events. There’s not a lot of documented history about you two, all shrouded in myth and legends. Terrible really, it seems like you two got into some messy situations. Now then you did call for a reason, and not just to what is the term. Chat up a buddie?”

This Merlin before him was an unknown and surely dangerous by the way she carried herself, pompous didn’t begin to describe her. But this was a Merlin, and at this time he needed someone with exceptional control of magics.”I needed Merlin’s help. I have a disciple; one of my descendants has taken up Excalibur.”

Upon hearing of the sword Excalibur Arthur had Merlin's complete attention knowing that someone wielded that powerful artifact. Arthur continued. “There is a place called Lost Haven where she will begin her trial by fire. I need a way to take her there.”

Merlin smirked. “That’s all dearie? A minor teleportation spell. And here I thought it was going to be far more complicated. There is one slight hitch of course, the reason I am here instead of my own world. You see your interests and mine coincide, you wish to further the training of your disciple and I want to find strong Heroes to save the world. I’m sure you heard of that Umbraxis Villain yes? He’ll destroy this world just as he did mine. And while I’m not too fond of heroics I rather prefer living. It’s a being more powerful than any god I’ve ever met.”

“Coming from a Merlin, we are in dire straits.”

“More then you will ever know, But first tell me about this disciple.”

-- Much Later - Aunt Briley’s House --

(OOC This will take place after the meeting some time later say early evening.)

As Eva stepped out of the shower and began to sort through her clothes throwing on a T-shirt and Jeans. Arthur was quite literally zapped into the room just as she slipped on her belt. “Arthur? How did, you went to Stonehenge already then?”

Behind her a woman’s voice could be heard. “Your wardrobe lacks sophistication, gaudy more like it, all these tasteless outfits.”

Turning to face her she gawks in confusion.”And who - is this? goddy what is that? You aren’t talking about my clothes are you, I like them thank you very much.”

“Illiterate. Of course she is. Well, I’m Merlin from another world. This is where things usually get complicated so instead of explaining..” Merlin said as Eva was transported away from her room and into the middle of a dark alleyway in Lost Haven.

“Where.. Wha..” Eva said in a daze as she spun around wildly. 

“Was teleporting her like that really necessary.” Arthur spoke from a rooftop.

To which Merlin simply smiled and spoke.”This is a trial by fire after all. Why not, and I’d rather not bother repeating myself.”

Eva stood in the middle of the alleyway as she raised her arms in frustration yelling out.”CAN I AT LEAST GET SHOES AND A HOODIE!!” As a low growl began rumbling behind her a beast resembling a T-Rex mixed with that of a squid reared it’s tentacled head.

“Oh. Shit.. That’s.. New.” It raised it’s head and began to roar tentacles flapping wildly as spit splattered over the concrete. And before her shoes which she just became aware of. “WELL AT LEAST I WON’T FREEZE! THANK YOU FOR THE GODDAMN HOODIE!!”
