The RMU - Avengers Assemble!

"Or," Valeria said with a roll of her eyes at Mandarin, "If you're not comfortable detailing your security measures to us, can you tell us what abilities the intruders demonstrated to get through them? In terms as specific as you can, without revealing your precautions, of course."

Kai "Power" Pak

Kai smiles as Valeria smoothes over Mandarin's characteristic bluntness, but says nothing more, instead waiting for an answer to the questions his fellows have posed.
 

"Trust me, anyone who sat in on a mythology class in collage, or picked up a tabloid, could tell you that Mjulnir is much more of a powerful symbol of the Norse pantheon then Odin's spear." Delta chuckled then glanced at the room's windows. "By the way, are those visible from outside the building? If not how do you get them so spotlessly clean without attracting attention to your hideout?"
 

Max laughs good-heartedly at your lines of questioning.

"Of course my windows are visible from the outside. I just think no one's ever bothered to count all the floors. Beyond that, I don't have much of an excuse. I stepped out for a spot of lunch, and when I got back, the hammer was gone. I'd been gone for less than an hour. The doorman said nobody suspicious had come in, and since my home defense system consists mostly of my cat, whoever took the artifact wouldn't have had much difficulty. What troubles me is that they knew it was here in the first place. No one should know that."
 

"I can think of several ways someone could have discovered it was here. The most obvious is if it was visible from those windows." She walked towards the windows. "But no matter what, they had to have someone or something watching this place An obvious choice would be a window washer, but that would be too obvious if he or she constantly hung out on this floor. So I'm thinking they planted a tiny camera or even had a tiny robot.." She narrowed her eyes then glanced towards the center of the room. "Where's your cat?"
 

"And your ami, how did he discover that artefact? By the time he brought it here, most likely at least one person could have see him with the hammer. Then, if he had the chance to make a link between him and you..." suggest Gambit.
 

After waiting a long time, and processing the information presented, Avatar speaks. "This makes no sense. I'll admit that I'm no expert on Norse mythology, but my understanding is that none but the purest of heart and morals can even LIFT Mjolnir. I'm sorry, mister, but I just don't buy that you had possession of the actual Mjolnir and I don't see how it could be stolen from you."
 

"Is it possible Thor came back for it?" Valeria asks with a perfectly straight face. She was having to intentionally force herself to keep an open mind about this whole 'mjolnir' thing. She knew there was 'magic' but accepting the idea that Norse gods were some how actual people living in a magic city with a rainbow bridge was very hard work.

"If we accept the existence of the hammer, then we have to accept the existence of its rightful owner, after all."
 

"Somehow I feel that if the god of thunder came in for his hammer, SOMEONE would have seen him. And probably we would not be standing on this floor, not even on in this entire building. If someone stole the hammer, he must have knwn where it was, and have some ability to hide from sight or do...." Mandarin phased out of existance with a simple hand gesturing, appearing on a random spot "... this. What you say young Avatar, is already refuted, since Mr Eisenhard and his friend already transported the hammer to this location. I imagine you sir are not the purest of heart, no offence meant. I imagine such restriction is just some sort fable story than anything else."

"Sorry, Mandy. It refutes nothing. We don't know that this is REALLY Mjolnir and by the sounds of it, it probably ISN'T."
