Snow
Crossover with Marvel's Thor
--------------------------------
New York, 1981 AD
The snow had come in the middle of July and quickly blanketed the entire world. There was something distinctly supernatural about it, but neither the Watchers nor the Slayer herself could find its source. It wasn't until the Slayer was approached by an old acquaintance, the thunder god Thor, that she learned the source of the winter.
"The Casket of Ancient Winters?" she asked.
"Aye," Thor said. "Minions of Surtur have unleashed its power upon Midgard. Before long the demon himself shall come here, looking for a way into fair Asgard. If he gains Asgard's Eternal Flame, neither man nor god shall be able to stop him."
"Then how about we stop him before it comes to that?"
Thor smiled. He had known that the Slayer would aid him in this struggle.
"The armies of Asgard will arrive soon. We shall make our stand here. I am grateful for thy help, dear friend."
The Slayer patted his shoulder. "No problem. Say, you wouldn't happen to have another one of those, would you?" She indicated his mystical Uru Hammer.
Thor smiled yet again. "Let me introduce thee to another friend of mine."
A grotesque-looking alien stepped from the shadows, dressed in garments similar to Thor and wielding a hammer looking much like this.
"This is Beta Ray Bill. He, too, will aid us."
"Charmed," the Slayer said. "How come he gets a hammer of his own and not me?"
