Who: You! If you wanna be there!
What: Their Vegas trip turns into an Alien Attack!
Where: Las Vegas, Alternate dimension of some sort.
When: The next day

Peter had one hell of a hang over, and the details of the night before were more than a little bit foggy. The details of which would no doubt start filtering back to him slowly over time. But as he looked out on the early morning sunrise over the strip he frowned looking out over the horizon.

There were lights, and not just the Vegas lights, not the neon of casinos and spot lights encouraging people to come out and spend their nights and days throwing away their money, but hovering lights, that were rapidly approaching. But even that wasn't enough to really clue him in - not until the first laser beam shot out of one of the ships (they were ships!) and blasted the replica Eiffel Tower did Peter get it.

They were under attack, here of all places. Hung over and not at all dressed for the occasion. This was his punishment he thought, for what he and Carol had gotten up to since their arrival.

"Come on! Move move move!" Peter was already moving, he might not have the suit and well he might not be from here but he wasn't about to let people get hurt.

Valkyrie | Not so Old Ben

Valkyrie bit her bottom lip as she got the feeling Ben was actually looking at her. She wasn't one to be shy, but it did feel nice. She took a moment to check the site on the blaster, anything to feel like she wasn't being looked at.

"Back to back? Your.." Valkyrie motioned to the glowing blade, or whatever it was, Ben held. "Will it protect you and me?" Her eyes narrowed, not doubting the man, so much as not knowing what the man could do. How could the glow stick protect them? She had liked what it could do to ships, had been very impressed with it.

"If you can guard my back, I shall protect yours. I fire on them; you do what you must." She nodded at Ben. "We pick up stragglers on our way, get them to safety?" She looked at the city as it was falling.

Ben raised his eyebrow but nodded. Oh yes, he could definitely protect them with his blade. "Agreed." He nodded toward her, stepping closer to the fray- and of course, a shot was fired their way. He quickly blocked it with his lightsaber and nodded for her to follow.

"You lead, I follow." Together they could hopefully get more than a few people out of this situation. Another crash nearby and he saw a larger ship going down. Carol was blasting through them, a huge wall of fire now bursting through the air guarding civilians, and lightning shot through the sky as Thor worked with Loki.

This was certainly turning out to be quite a day.

"Is Earth always this exciting?"

Valkyrie gave a soft sound of appreciation. She patted Ben's shoulder, carefully to keep from hurting him; they'd come too far for him to get hurt by a sign of camaraderie.

"That is an amazing weapon." She did like his glow stick. Her smile said just as much as the shoulder pat. She didn't move yet; her eyes lifted to Carol. Her eyes narrowed to see the two other Asgardians living in town, one she knew and one she didn't. She wondered how well the one she thought she knew. She sighed softly; now was not the time for this, whatever this was. She nodded to herself and looked around to find what she wanted, a line to take.

"The Earth I was on?" She put her hand on his shoulder to say she was ready to go. Waiting long enough to feel him at her back, or as close as he could be while they moved, she began to lead. "Yes, there were many battles to be had."

The blaster worked as well as she had hoped. The creatures didn't seem to fare very well against their own weapon. She smiled slightly and settled into leading Ben toward the door, all the while looking for those who might need help in heading "home."

She was impressive, Ben would give her that. He grinned and followed, blocking shots with his blade, shielding her and others as best he could as she took aim and fired at these invaders. The streets were almost empty now, citizens have been killed or found cover. Ben was worried that some of their own might be on the list of victims, but he had no time to worry about that now.

Soon, they were closer to the door, and he blocked one last shot, sending the blast straight back to the alien that fired.

"It looks like they're retreating," He called over his shoulder to her. It was a good thing, too. The city looked devastated.

Once they were at the door, Valkyrie stopped, putting her hand on Ben's shoulder to tell him that they were stopping. She turned to look back at the city, wincing at the sight of it. This was not what heroes did, was it? It seemed like that was what happened with the big bad creatures were stopped or halted.

She shot a few more times over his shoulder, not picking out those running, but a few who were still fighting. Her hand slid from Ben's shoulder; she sighed softly.

"They are cowards." She didn't growl, but she believed what she said. She was glad that she hadn't needed to fight them before. They had helped her make a decision; she would not leave without her sword, and better shoes.

"Most those who would do such horrible things are," Ben replied sadly as he looked over the destruction. He did not want to simply run, either. But he was not sure how to help beyond saving lives. Fighting back.

He could sense she did not want to leave, though. Neither did he. So he stood his ground, watching the horizon and waiting to see what he could do next. "We can find the survivors. Ensure they can escape the city?"

Where? How? Obi Wan wasn't sure. Goddamnit, he wished the town had planned for this. He would bring it up when they returned. If they returned.

Valkyrie could see that Ben was torn as she in how to help. They had no place to take survivors, other than through the door. Was that allowed? How would they even accomplish gathering them all together, transporting them? She was at a loss, and the man with the glow stick of power seemed just as lost.

It was probably forward, and she didn’t care. She could be more so. She slid her free hand into his, leaning ever so slightly. Support given. A slap on the back might have worked, but she’d claim limited space. “We stand out ground here. Keep it clear for the others.” It was better than nothing.

“I would like to share drinks with you.” There couldn’t be just one drink with an Asgardian involved. It was a honor thing. “Celebrate the downing of many ships.” She’d yet to let go of his hand, but it would be done and understood if they needed to fight once more.

Yes. Yes, that seemed like a plan. He just nodded firmly, capable of doing that and casting her a small smile. "I can shield us from the weapons, I think. Maybe you can help guide the others here?"

He wasn't sure if it was the best plan. But he did chuckle when she asked about drinks. "Oh, we are definitely having drinks when we get back."

But was not a prude about drinking. Far from it. He grinned and turned his attention back to the invaders, preparing to fight and guard those who might need it.

Valkyrie might have continued the lean for a little while longer, her hand still in Ben's. She had no illusions about whatever their current position might mean or be. She was taking a moment to be comforted simply by being close to another warrior. It had been a long time since she'd sought anything like.

"Drinks then." She smiled brightly and knowingly, which didn't exactly fade as she let Ben's hand go, after a quick squeeze, to lift the blaster. Nothing would get by them, no one who shouldn't be passing through the door. Though she'd make sure none of brain creatures would attack those who seemed to be of this world either.

She might have actually laughed as she settled in to wait and watch. The sentinels at the door.
