The Gathering
Just as the opening credits appeared, a young man with curly red hair sat down. He didn't look excited for the picture at all. His breaths were slow. His stare was tense. It seemed as though a matter was troubling him.
"Everything okay?" she said in a whisper.
He eyed her with caution.
"Sorry." She smiled. "Didn't mean to be nosy."
"No, no," he said. "It's just...well..." the young man twitched. He looked a bit pale. There was clearly something that he wanted to share. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you... and I told him I wouldn't say anything."
Tori shrugged a bit. "I can keep a secret." And besides that, there really wasn't much that she wouldn't believe, especially considering the things she'd seen.
He hesitated, then managed to speak, "I saw some men withswords. One looked like Sir Lancelot. I even witnessed one of them take the head off this guy after he defeatedSir Lancelot. I mean, the guy got hit by lightning, and the bolts struck the bridge and the surrounding area. It was crazy. Then the guy jumped off the bridge after I said to pretend,I'm not here. I don't know if he was dead, or not."
He remembered the young man getting struck by the bolts as his brown hair flew in the wind. Tori took a moment to absorb all that. Had she come across it in her various studies? Guys with swords? Lightning bolts? Some sort of transfer of energy?
No, she noted, squinting a tad. She'd never researched anything like this.
"It sounds like something in The Twilight Zone," the guy acknowledged.
"It certainly does," Tori declared, "but I don't believe that you're making it up."

Earth N1 is a universe where Defender Chronicles and Highlander: The Avenger have a crossover. I have suggested it to PhoenixRisingfromAshes007 for the future.
