Did you miss me?

Went on a food vacation with Fury. Been back a few days but was keeping a low profile and perfect timing from the sounds of things.

We sampled all the food in Greece, Singapore, Pakistan, Thailand, and so many other places.

It was good.

See, I can take a vacation.

You lot are an interesting group of Terrans. Earth isn't AS big of a shithole, like the whispers in space say.

Call me Talos. I know most of you already but you don't know me, so I wanted to introduce myself all right and proper now.

[Posted to the network is a brief video if Clint singing along to Eye of the Tiger. He's fully involved, contorting his body along with the music. His voice is more pleasant than you might expect though anyone who pays close enough attention can tell by a slur on some of the constants that Clint is not fully sober]

Hey so i love my ringtone I mean i only found out when a scammer tried to tell me my social security number had been canceled but good job.

Ok how do I turn off and/or change the ring on this phone? Morse, if you call me one more time...

Some of you know already and I did not want to say anything out in the open until I got to a certain number of weeks, but. I am expecting a baby - twins, actually, as I found out at my last doctor's appointment. They are due in February.

I will be at the cafe for as long as I can be and will be going on missions as long as I can, with the Avengers. I just wanted to say something before it became obvious, and I do not expect to be treated any differently or anything else. I only wanted to be upfront with the people I work with and care about.

Clint Barton is better than me at darts. ANd pool and people ahould believe him when he claims superipriority.


He's also not old. Not like me. Look st my face Im the Cryptkeeper.

[Message to Nat and Wanda]

You good? Didn't wake up with some crazy future life did you?

So. The time stone reacted to my other self showing up. Meeting your other self inadvertently? Not merely a trope. It really is a bad idea.

Your calendars and date settings aren't wrong. It was 2019. It really is four years in the future and it really is 2023 now.

Sorry.

Greetings all. I am T'Challa, and I believe I know some of you - some I do not. But I have just arrived in New York City and will be staying in the building a version of me purchased? in the penthouse at 30 Warren, what we may call a diplomatic residence.

We have a Wakandan Outreach Center in Oakland, and I am more familiar with that area - despite my many trips to New York City, I have not gotten a chance to explore very much. If there is anyone willing to assist with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I hope to settle in. I have a feeling this will be quite the experience.

( (spoilers within) net post )

Well met to all who read these words. I am Sif, formerly of Asgard, recently arrived in Midgard and making my place now among my people here. I offer greetings to those whom I know from my previous visits to Midgard, and if my aid is required in aught to assist or defend this world where I now dwell, I offer it as well.

So, let's get this out of the way now. Yes, I was dead. Now I'm not.

How many of you are going to want to punch me? Just so we can work something out here.

We've been through a lot lately. Good and bad. There's more and more people showing up. Some new. Some returning who don't remember being here before. Looking at it all together it's looking like something is back-building. Something big. I bounced this off a few people and we seem to be in agreement. It's time to rebuild what we had before.

It's time for the Avengers and SHIELD to reform.

I realize this may not be a welcome idea, and Pepper I know you and Tony are new parents so I'm sorry the timing is bad. No one will be forced into this. If someone wants to be backup or not involved at all that decision will be respected.

But I'm calling for volunteers. So is Nick. Old faces and new. Sound off here with what you'd prefer. If you are going to be part of this let us know which team you want to be on: Avengers or SHIELD.

Thanks.
Steve

Everyone meet Morgan Maria Stark! Tony dressed her like this so not my idea.

Apparently this is the place to introduce myself.

My name is Vision, I arrived a few days ago. I believe I may already know some of you rather well, and others perhaps less so.

Things in this part of the universe are quite different from where I've come from. A lot better, actually, in many ways. I don't know how well I am adjusting to everything, but I am very grateful to be here regardless.

Alright, all you super beings (and assorted normal people).

I'm pleased to announce that upon collaboration with Dr. Banner, and Tony Stark, a medical clinic will be implemented at Stark Tower. Since most of you have unique physiology and/or biology, I can understand if you've been hesitant to go and see a medical practitioner.

Taking care of your health is an important factor, even if you never get sick. At the very least, you should have annual medical checks to ensure your baseline remains stable. And from what I understand, dangerous things happen, and you might need splints or a bullet hole stitched up.

The clinic is open on an as needed basis so appointments are much appreciated; however, if you need one of us, please call (xxx) xxx.xxxx. That's our on-call line, and someone will answer it.

Remember: if you have super owies, come to the super doctors! Better to bleed on us than bleed alone!

PS: We take payment in form of take-out and/or autographed memorabilia that I can easily sell on eBay.

Since I've apparently been here two times before, I doubt I need to introduce myself. So, I'll just say, 'It's Daisy, I'm back.'

I know I just violated a few internet rules, namely the 'never Google yourself' and 'don't read any fanfic about yourself' ones. At least a lot of the fanfic was decently written? Though, I'm pretty sure I figured out that one of the Koenig brother wrote more than one of them, and now I feel a little dirty.

I don't suppose I have a job I need to get to right now?

Who do I need to tase to make them let me see Jane?

Side note: where can I get a taser?

Also, hi. I got the spiel from the emo goth magic guy and I'm at the hospital and they won't let me in to see Jane and someone needs to fix that right now.

[Public]

Croatia isn't what it used to be.

[Director Fury]

Morse. Reporting for duty. Again. WTF?

Hey friend,

I need to see your face in person. I'll bring the alcohol. Give me a place and time to meet.

I need to mope in someone's presence. With ice cream. Can we do this?

I also want to see you, so that too.

Right so this is weird awkward something.

I heard Fury was here. Is that true?

Has anyone seen an orange tabby cat wandering around?

Oh and I'm Carol. Carol Danvers.

At the urging of my tutor, and because I agreed and thought it to be a good idea, I traveled to the city of Kathmandu in Nepal to have some time away to hone the finer points of my abilities. It was a wonderful trip, despite how much of the beauty of the city has been ravaged by earthquakes - but much of it has also been maintained as well, and I especially enjoyed the maze of narrow streets and alleyways. The tourist district is lively but still maintains an old-world feel, which I appreciate.

I think I picked up far too many books, too much jewelry, and a paper lantern or two that wasn't necessary but too pretty to pass up.

But I have returned and I missed all this.

Wow, Fury. You didn't even bother to change your passwords.

Don't worry. ( I fixed all of your social media handles for you. )

All right. I'm here to answer questions about this universe. Including what's happening in it, what might happen in it, and what won't be happening in it.

I'll answer to the best of my ability. Here's some highlights from the welcome pamphlet: ( You, Other You, and the Multiverse: An Overview for the Recently Displaced. )

A few caveats to this post:

1. You probably won't like what I have to say.


2. Whatever it is, Stark? No.


3. I can't give you the best date for anything related to weddings, births, or other social functions. I'm not Miss Cleo.

Still here. Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I remember no one. (Joking. I remember up to a point.)

Wow I forgot how terrible St Patrick's Day is in the city.

Did make $65 on darts so not a complete loss.

Aloooone again, in margaritavillleeeee ....

why is it never alone with better tasting booze? I'm trying to think of songs and it's like ..pina coladas? nah that's about love. milk and alcohol just sounds gross. and cold gin ... hm. that kinda tastses like pine cones.

COLD GIN IT IS

Well I can say that was the grossest thing I ever went through. Tony, I'm going to need your help with getting all the zombie goo off the shield.

[Tony]
Clint needs a new bow. Think you can work one up?

[Buck]
Next time? Less zombies. More steak and potatoes.

[Peg]
So about that date...

Today, I am happy and grateful for everything that has been provided to me and mine. I do not often spout platitudes, and yet I have found myself feeling overwhelmed with pleasant thoughts.

You all have a part in that, especially that of Jane.

Thank you all. I am honoured to call you all friends.

( You have 1 message )

I've just come from the end of the world. I'm not in entirely presentable condition. Maybe try not to bombard me with information.

But I figured I should - say hi, or something. If only so Dr. Strange doesn't have to lie to anyone about finding me in Central Park yesterday.

Hey. So I understand there was another me. I'm not even going to try to explain how that works. I'll leave that to the mystic man, but I was told I was stuck in the Soul Stone...or something. Ask Strange. But I'm back.

need burger

I may sound like a broken record here on the whole “a lot has changed”, but I think it’s fair for me to use the punch card with how enormous Christmas has become. The future certainly doesn’t make anything simple. And Christmas appears to be very serious.

It’s a nice atmosphere though. For a city that’s crowded and never sleeps, covered in lights and a positive attitude.

What’s the non-dinosaur way to spend Christmas these days?

Hey guys.

Fury

How are you holding up, considering everything that's happened?

James

Up for some training?

Tony

When am I getting my spear back?

Clint

I feel like you've been avoiding me.

Wanda

Checking in, how are you doing since coming home?

Peggy

Let's have lunch.

Hey, you busy?

GUYS THEYRE ALIVE

TONY. JANE. Quantum tunnel connection. NOW

Wanda and Strange did magical puppetry and reached to me through the tunnel. They’re in another dimension. We have to connect ours with theirs.

*insert picture of whiteboard Wanda wrote in Romanian with the coordinates*

Avenger* sound off.




[* meaning everyone....except for Tony]

Peggy Carter is here and she is every bit badass as her stories say she is.

[ooc: I know this comm isn't big on stage directions/narration, but with your forbearance, it helps me with continuity.
This narration approved by Nat!mun!
ic:]

[They'd laid in bed together when they were done, twining limbs and fingers. She'd shown him a softer side of herself than even he had seen before.

Though that part of his brain that had come from another universe was screaming at him that he should feel something else, something about being a traitor and a cheater and that he should hang all the harder onto those who only felt like a dream, the rest of him just felt at peace.

He'd fallen asleep with his arms around her body and his face kissed by her red hair.

It was the first time since coming here he'd slept dreamlessly. No ashes, no dust.

But he woke up in bed alone.

He twisted to reach onto the nightstand and grab his device to send her a text.]

Hey
?

Hey, guys. First, I hope everyone is settled in. Some of us have been here longer than others. Some, like me, have been here before but don't remember. Regardless, things are starting to heat up. Nat and I were talking and we think it's about time we all met up to talk about everything.

You do know, don't you?

I saw it
