Phantom kicked a door opened holding a kid, quickly walking quickly from the building with Skaði behind him putting out some fire. Skaði had a hoodie on which well... Phantom made her wear for secret identity. Phantom got out of the building with medics checking for everyone he and Skaði got out... hundreds of them.

Phantom: Last one.

Medic #1: All right. Thank you.

Phantom nods as Skaði walks out with her bow in hand. Phantom looks to another building which had smoke coming out. He sighs and runs in its direction holding Skaði and leaps in its direction panting. He lands on the broken floor as they quickly walk in direction where the people could be.

Skaði: You do this every day? Put on a silly costume and play... hero?

Phantom: This "silly" costume is to hide my true identity, and to give people something to believe in.

Skaði: And why I have to also do it?

Phantom: You're a god, but you can also disguise as a human, if people knew who you are, they would learn who are your closest and use them to get to you.

Skaði: No mortal weapon is powerful enough to harm us. Not guns, or blades, or even what mortals call... nukes.

Phantom: It's not about what they can do to you, but what they can do to get to you.

Skaði sighs after that... she couldn't say anything about that... cause she did go through that. Odin used her to kill her father "Thiazi." If someone knows how to feels to be manipulated or forced to do something she will regret... is her.

Skaði: Nukes.

Phantom looks back quickly confused at the snow goddess.

Skaði: I've heard so much about nukes but... what is it?

Phantom: Bombs... capable of leveling cities to even countries.

Skaði: So that distortion I felt decades ago, near Scandinavia, in that island called... Novaya Zemlya. I heard the shockwave of an explosion... people were shocked and scared.

Phantom: Hmm... you must be talking of the Tsar Bomb.

Skaði: Mortal weapons are unable to kill us, we should be focusing on Baldur.

Phantom: I can't focus on someone without a way to kill him, unless you have a mistletoe in your quiver or something.

Phantom kept walking quickly checking for injured civilians.

Skaði: I just... why do you waste your time on them? Mortals are selfish, this country... is one of the worst, racism, homophobia, xenophobia.

Phantom: You know those words?

Skaði: I'm trying to understand why you protect these people, selfish and... mean... animals thrown to the streets, beating up on people they call inferior, yet you believe that everyone deserves a chance?

Phantom: I don't... really believe in chances.

Skaði: Then why do it?

Phantom: Everyone has a reason to become a figure... a hero. I did it for my brother.

Skaði: You had a brother?

Phantom: His name was Aidan. Aidan was kidnapped when I was a kid, he was my younger brother. Mom and I went to look for him everywhere... but she gave... I did not, so I kept looking and looking for him...

Skaði: But... you didn't find him.

Phantom: No. I felt ashamed... in regret and as a failure, dad wasn't really the best guy so... we were raised my mom alone, I was also a father figure to Aidan, so when I failed to find him... I sort of got scared to make new friendships, and relationships, I got to quick night, women, sex, drinking... but noticing what I can do... I decided to work in the dark and try to save everyone, every life is sacred, losing people and failing to find them means disrespecting by self promise... to never let anyone fall like Aidan.
