future over powered.

[techygoddess]

What more could a man striving for power want?  Control over the future would be a good start.  Does help that Future is weakened by her time spent on Earth searching for her sisters. 

Which was the only reason the child Norn was standing before Victor Von Doom at the moment, she had heard he might know of the whereabouts of Verthandi, the sister she was closest to.

"So, where's my sister?  You sent word that you knew where she was, and don't try to double cross me Doom, I have no problem killing those who wish me ill will."  Hey it sounded good right?  Not like she really had the power to cut threads at the moment.  He didn't need to know that though.

And the whole reason she was balking on it, happened to be she had seen the evil he had done before. Though she knew he was one of the few people that pushed tech to any significant degree.

The child like being flicked her eyes up looking at him carefully. "We do, I will need something you cherish in order to make the contract binding." She took a step closer and stopped, something felt off and she dropped her hand scanning the area, finally feeling the sigils and enchantments layered in the room.

"That's why I can't see past the present in here... What have you been doing." Her mind was trying to calculate her chance of breaking the spell while she watched him. The spells were primitive, but with her current condition she knew she was unable to break it, her eyes didn't show anything as they silvered out, momentarily almost as if she was trying to connect with something outside the room.

His neutral expression dropped the moment she figured out what was going on in the room, though slowly a sadistic smile began stretching across his face. "I did say I had done my research," he said coldly, pushing himself off the desk. Noting the change in her eye color, he muttered the last of the incantation to fully complete the binding spell as he didn't want her trying to escape now.

"Did you really think that I wouldn't be prepared for you?" He asked her simply. "One doesn't simply call ancient beings to their domain without having an insurance policy."

Skuld caught the change in his demeanor and started to raise protective magic, but he was a split second faster than she was.

The recoil made her groan almost dropping to a knee as she held her head. One hand separated the spear on her necklace to call it forth but what ever he had chanted was blocking her magic completely. Her eyes faded back to their normal dark color as she glared at him.

"You keep me trapped you'll just destroy what you want the most. You're not the first man that's caught me, I can bide my time longer than you can as well." She stood her hand still around the spear, even in the small form she kept it in it could still be a weapon, not that effective of one, but she would try to fight her way out of there if she had to.

[behold_your_doom]

"I don't expect you to understand my plans. I've been doing all I can block you from them in fact." He told her, a spell beginning to spark at the tips of his fingers. "I'm not like any other man you've met." He added, releasing the small bolts of lightning at her and her spear, the strength of spell only meant to stun her and show her that he did indeed mean business.

"You're going to aid me, Skuld. I promise you that." His green-eyed gaze darkening as he began to summon more of his own magic. Not many people would ever look at Victor von Doom and guess that he was a sorcerer, especially not with the way, he was constantly working on new technologies.

She yelped dropping the small bit of metal, it had managed to collect most the lightening and burned her palm slightly. She shook her hand slightly and glared at him. "I've met others who have tried mixing magic and science. You're just another one," She left the shield around her neck not wanting to use what little magic she could summon to call it to her, after all her weapons weren't charmed only for her.

While he was summoning magic she was going a different route, the lights flickered as she started willing everything within her limited range with a microchip into overloading trying to break the charms woven into the room.

[behold_your_doom]

"Oh I'm not trying to mix them. Who do you think I am? Hydra?" He replied with a laugh, releasing yet another small bolt of electricity at her in the process. The significance of the flickering lights were not lost on him, cause if he wasn't doing it than it automatically meant it was her. Luckily the main binding spell was underneath and that wouldn't be broken until he released it himself.

Again he muttered yet another incantation to activate the next spell that would begin to penetrate her mind as he needed to get at her memories. He wouldn't trust her to tell him what all she had seen on her own. Which obviously it meant, he would have to force her to tell him.

"Just how much of the future have seen as of late?"

[techygoddess]

"Those fools aren't worth my time..." She hissed as she was shocked again, this time actually dropping to her knees. Biting her lip she felt the other spell attack her, letting go of the computers. she actually had to touch the floor to keep from falling to the ground completely.

She closed her eyes doing all she could to try to keep him out of her memories knowing it was far too dangerous for a Mortal. The young Norn managed to fight a few minutes, probably draining him as much as she was draining her own reserves.

not even sure if you wanted to continue this or not ^^;

[behold_your_doom]

His power wasn't unlimited but he had been conserving energy in preparation for facing down the Norn. Indeed the fight she put up resisting the spell put a drain on him, but still had enough juice to focus the spell harder on her.

"Surely just telling me what I seek to know would be less painful." He told her. "If I have to pry the knowledge lose it will only cause you more suffering." He added coldly.

kidding I love backtags XD

[techygoddess]

"I will not fail in those duties completely." She growled low unable to think of how to rechannel the energy attacking her. Skuld whimpered slightly not sure how much longer she could keep it up.

She thought about sending for help, but wasn't sure who would be able to get there in time.
