Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my OC Galatea and any alterations to the original storyline plot her presence creates to various readers amusement everywhere across the globe.

Rise Of The Snow Queen 2 Chapter 8

With nothing else to really do Galatea is mostly left to her own devices although she's probably under close watch from the security cameras that are active all around the Hellicarrier. Galatea did consider maybe going with Thor as he is conversing with Agent Coulson to find out what's happened with Jane Foster since he left Earth, but then thought better of it. That woman is nothing to her so she has no interest in that subject. She even contemplated going back to see Loki, but wisely reconsidered after she concluded that it might arouse unnecessary suspicion towards her where there shouldn't be.

Eventually Galatea decides to join Bruce and Tony where they're analyzing the scepter and its supernatural properties inside a lab set aside for them. There are no way them with expertise in science. That's not her forte, but Galatea believes that she can contain the magic better with her own should it prove too volatile for them to handle on their own.

When Galatea arrives at the lab Bruce and Tony are both in the thick of their work. They glance up and exchange a glance when they see her walk in, but don't really object. Maybe they're recalling what she did to Thor earlier in the conference room although they already get the gist that she's not really going to cause trouble unlike the others.

Anyway they left her in peace and answered her questions to an extent during the times she chose to speak.

Galatea basically stood by the glass windows overlooking part of Shields inner workings listening to them quietly.

Through these windows as the boys are working she catches something on a video screen. It's video footage on each of the people Fury called in for this mission. All the way from Iron Man down to a man with a bow and arrow she'd later learn is Clint Barton. By the one that really draws her eye is one of Bruce Banner transforming into the Hulk and fighting in that form. Galatea doesn't outwardly react except for a slight widening of her eyes.

Galatea is transfixed. After the small video moves onto the next person Galatea imperceptibly turns her head towards Bruce where his focus is intent on the scepter.

So this quiet and somewhat no confrontational man considers himself cursed, too.

How interesting.

Which direction do you believe this looming conversation is going to take? Up or down.

Glad each and every one of you had a Merry Christmas, my friends! Here is your belated present for the holiday! Glad you can enjoy it as I have writing it. And, let's not forget, have a Happy New Year!

September 11th has come and gone once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it.

Big time heads up! Article 13 is on the move again. Our freedom of speech is seriously on the line. Find a legitimate petition that is fighting this decision and sign onto it. Every signature counts to keep what we love alive.

I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, A Revolutionary Romance, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, Rorschach's Legend, Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, The 8th Loser, Naomi Poldark: Mistress Of Nampara, Serenity: End Guardian To The Moors, Dido Cruger: Power Rangers SPD, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D

By the way Rorschach's Legend. Mandalorian: The 2nd Foundling, Eira Byrnison, and Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender are the newest additions to my profile. If you're a fan of the Golden Compass and Watchmen which are the new series on HBO then you will love these. Then if you haven't saw them yet then I recommend that you check it out. Since there are still just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.

I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D

For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance.
