Uhh Hey, I'm Bucky. I guess I'm back here again. Somehow.

[private to Steve and Sam]

What the hell. I'm in Tony's building now? Some other me wasn't staying here before, or was he?

I'm disappointed in all of you for varying reasons.

Especially Tony.

Come on people -- do we really need to go through this every year?

Yeah well. That happened.

Fine, maybe I shouldn't have nanobot'd a suit of armor into my bone marrow. But like I told her, there's no takebacksies now that it's in there.

Guys. We only have thirty days to figure out what we're doing for Halloween.

I vote we turn part of the Tower into a haunted house.

Dr. Strange explained what's going on and I'm still not sure I'm following, but this morning it was nighttime in 2017, I walked down the block, and suddenly it was morning in 2024, so...I'll go with it for now.

So hey, I'm Tandy.

Are there really Avengers here?

While this is still frustrating, I have gotten time to catch up on a few things, including being introduced to "Netflix & Chilling". Darcy was kind enough to bring me a few things and introduce me to that.

Oh well, this is just awkward.

Private: Bucky, Bruce, Tony &, now including team science!
We have a small problem.

(1) Friend. I have finished the last set of interviews, and posed for the appropriate amount of pictures. Jane is drained and wishes to retire. I, on the other hand, find myself full of energy and a desire to consume many alcoholic drinks.

(2) You are the only one who can keep up with me. Join me, Steve Rogers.

Pack your flip flops and grab your passports, we're going to Genosha for Thor and Jane's wedding. We finally got everyone's clearance to get in, which was like jumping through hoops of fire. Rooms and venue are all booked. We fly out tomorrow night at 5 PM. No paparazzi or media allowed. We're allowed only one photog in designated areas.

Cap's come up with a 3 part plan: ( Recon, Distract, Evac. )

( Private to Bruce, Darcy, Jane, and Steve )

[To Stark & Banner]

I have looked at the Chitauri weapons you acquired. What do you want to know about them? I will warn you now, a few of them are hairdryers.

[To Pepper]

Do you require any assistance with your work? I'm not as busy as I would wish.

[To Quill & Drax]

Have you heard anything from the fox or the tree?

[To Captain Rogers]

I would like your input on how we should organize an exercise regime for the team.

[To Wanda]

I haven't checked in with you lately. How are you and your sons faring?

[To Dr. Foster]

How are you faring?

[To Barnes]

I'm bored. Is there something distracting we can do? Without compromising your safety, of course. Is there an activity or a place you would like to visit?

I know it is early, but I thought I'd better post. I'm Shuri, previously in Oakland, California until I found myself in a park near Harlem about an hour and a half ago.

This multiverse hopping is exhausting. I could use a latte and maybe something to eat. I just stepped through a portal to 30 Warren, wherever that is. Is anyone awake?

Rhodey - the Rhodey we knew - is gone.


I want to hit something.


I hate this place.

Sorry we missed the big shindig but hope you had a great holiday.

And happy birthday Steve. Hope you enjoyed it.

[Peter P]

I didn't check in on you after the storm. I should have, I'm sorry. How are you doing? Everything ok?

Now that I have had a little time to try to read everything I can - I wanted to say hello to those who haven't run into me yet. Apparently I was here, then gone, then I got here all in a very short time span. I don't claim to understand it but I am not the Steve you knew last month, but I am here.

[Bucky]
I have not seen you yet - can we remedy this so I can get caught up on how you are doing here?

I have been working with Pepper's office at Stark Industries to set up a disaster relief fund that anyone can donate to - the proceeds will go to rebuilding homes after the flooding in New York, funding medical care for survivors since most in this country cannot afford the surprise when an emergency crops up, and helping people who were caught up in everything get back on their feet again.

It is simply called NYC Storm Relief, and feel free to get the word out there. Hashtag, Facebook, whichever social media platforms are used. And if anyone wants to contribute that is also more than welcome.

Hello fellow Avengers.

We in New Asgard have been considering what our best option is for dealing with both Loki's capture and the storm caused by Thor's anger in New York. Having seen the news reports, we now understand the scale of the storm and the harm it caused, and the further damage to the Avengers.

We know we often misunderstand how things operate on Midgard and seek advice on how we can repair the damage. We expect to pay compensation for the damages to the city, and wergild for the deaths and injuries. The news reports suggest a rough amount for the damages, though we don't know the costs of wergild under Midgard's laws.

We are also considering what Thor can do to repair the damages he caused with his temper, as well as his punishment under our own laws. He behaved in a manner unbefitting a prince and must deal with the consequences.

We also are direly concerned about Loki's situation, not because we think he has committed no crimes, but because we have worked to rehabilitate him and worry that jailing him will undo the efforts we and he have put toward improving his heart and soul. It is well-known among Asgardians that I have little love for Loki and have often opposed him and even threatened him when he has done wrong. But I have seen improvements in him since his arrival on Midgard. However he is to be punished, we need to ensure that he continues on his forward path lest further ill consequences ensue.

We also know that asking the Avengers for counsel risks the wrath of the Midgardian governments who have named us terrorists. Still, we ask your advice because you are our best hope for resolving this crisis. While Thor and Loki and the Valkyrie and I have acted in the public eye, most of New Asgard is innocent of this quarrel and should not be punished for our deeds and misdeeds. It is our responsibility to protect them.

Last, but not least, it is also important to us to protect Dr Foster, who was only involved in this matter because I called on her to calm Thor when he was enraged. Because she helped to stop the storm and convince Thor to return to New Asgard, she is now branded a terrorist and denied her possessions and her ability to travel to her home country. Perhaps she is even to be made homeless, though she will have a home with us even if Midgard denies her. We ask that even if you cannot help us, you will assist Dr Foster. She is an innocent in this matter and whatever consequences apply to New Asgard sound not fall on her.

Thank you for reading, and for any counsel you may offer. We are further in your debt.

What just happened?

Did I just lose my citizenship?

[later]
Every lecture and consulting gig I had on the books has been cancelled.

[later]
I'm getting a warning and am locked out of my bank account.

If anyone's tracking their order for an epic shit storm? It's arrived.

Pretty sure this is the opposite of chill, Thor.

Quick question: Does this stop if we throw some virgins or goats on a bonfire?

That was dramatic. Even by my standards.

Hi. I'm in the Tower's med clinic. I'm using Friday for voice-to-text posts.

P.S. Don't say anything risque. Or incriminating. She's reading out loud.

P.S.S. If you really want to? That's ok too.

Friends.

I have been lax and remiss in my communications with you all, for which I sincerely apologize.

Rather than message you all individually, and then forget to answer, I thought this easier:

I am returning to Tonsburg. And as I type this, I wonder -- did I remember to even inform anyone other than my brother and his wife that I was no longer living there...

As mentioned before -- I am lacking in my missives.

I have also been lacking in my training and need to get back into this. I thoroughly encourage all potential sparring opportunities. Stormbreaker and I would be appreciative of it.

And as always, guests are welcome and encouraged. Come to my home. I have food. And coffee. And poptarts. And other things. I don't remember all that is in my cupboards. But there is plenty.

Hello. I am Steve Rogers.

>> I can't find Bucky.

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.

I guess it's about time I let everyone in on this. The night of July 4th, Peggy Carter agreed to become my wife.

I wanted to make everyone aware of the situation involving the undersea quakes that have been (literally) rocking Wakanda and other African nations. We have been studying and monitoring these submarine earthquakes, as any damage that occurs is not necessarily due to just the quake itself but whatever natural disaster the quake triggers - a tsunami, for example.

So far, there have not been any instances of major flooding or infrastructure damage occurring. However, the quakes seemed very deliberate in that they stopped once some sort of relic was believed to have been washed ashore along a coastline in South Africa - I have sent my top War Dog to investigate this matter, but we all need to be on alert.

There could be much more to come.

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.

So this is… new.

My name is Ava. I’m pretty sure I don’t know most of you and I’m not very good at introductions so I’ll keep it brief - it’s been an interesting few days. If anyone knows a place to get a very stiff drink or a very decadent cake; do let me know. I’m going to assume specific cravings are normal after having just been transported to a new universe.

( The other one. )

( (spoilers!) - net post with messages for Steve, Loki, Peter P., & Nat. )

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 )

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

Want to talk with you about something.

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.

[Steve]
Do you have any requests for what I make for dinner tonight? And before you ask, no I am not stopping and picking up pizza.

[Bucky]
How are you settling in? I realize you don't remember but we did live together for a bit of time so I have some clothes and things for you if you want them.

[Sam]
How are you settling in?

[Tony]
I'd say congrats daddy but I've discovered that has another meaning now apparently. Which is... disturbing to say the least. I can't believe you made me a great aunt already. How are you?

[Pepper]
I've bought a disturbing amount of clothes for my new favorite child, so I hope you're fully prepared to gush over them all with me. Is there anything you need?

[Public to the network]
Welcome to everyone that's arrived and I have missed. If there is anything I can do to help you feel more welcome, please don't hesitate to reach out. I regret to say that I still move at a '40s pace but eventually I'll be able to keep up with everything. Hopefully.

Our apartment pool is going to be opening soon, would anyone else be up for a bit of a party to kick off the summer?

[Public]

Congratulations, Tony and Pepper! Pepper, you're going to make a beautiful mom. Tony, just breathe. You got this.

[Everyone BUT Tony and Pepper]

Who else needs to exchange a baby gift?

Out of the hospital in time for Passover, which is nice.

I'm slowly catching up on things.

I can't believe I just sat through those prequels. What the hell happened to George Lucas??

Tell me other things I should watch, I'm bored.

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.

Falcon reporting for duty.

Pepper filled me in on what's going on. Figured I should say hi and see who else is around.

( unanswered texts to Thor )

[network post]

Ok, so Jane's got an infection. Backlash from her chemo. Passed out in lab, Friday alerted me, whole ambulance thing happened. I'm over here at Columbia Medical. You know who isn't? Thor.

That guy has zero concept of what blowing up a phone is. Anyone have any idea where Thor is? Strange? Can you go check and make sure Loki hasn't shived him?

I can't zip over to Castle Asgard right now to see if they're going all Medieval Times in ye olde dining hall. I don't even know what they do in their free time.
