Not to rain on any Captain Murica Parades but I got word from Legal about the whole terrorism and Loki thing.

Good news: For the New York storm, they think they can get those terrorism charges overturned. Those sworn and signed statements helped a lot, since they cooperated each other's accounts and showed Thor was under a lot of traumatic stress.

Bad news: Loki isn't in the country anymore. They basically Guantanamo'd him. He's in 'rehab' on a small island called Genosha. I haven't been able to find out what sort of rehab it is yet. Details are sketch since it was a private island and it's marketing itself as a super exclusive resort destination. They're not even giving the exact location unless you're approved to stay there as a guest.

Better news: We just need to find a good valid reason to get in there. Security is tight and so are the restrictions to be let into the resort. Friday's found some funding from the United States and other allied countries for security and infrastructure projects, but there's nothing specific. We'd be going in blind, but hey. It's us. We got this.

Worse News: Loki's still a war criminal. If the lawyers can push the narrative that he was controlled by the staff, if Loki agrees to undergo a psyche evaluation, that would help his case. They might be able to get away with a reduced sentence.

some good. Some bad.

[private to Val]

I know it's odd coming from me, but don't go jumping the gun. You can't afford to go cracking heads to bust him out. We might need you to convince him that he needs to submit a statement about his mental state when that attack happened. Bruce and I got the readings on the scepter when we studied it.

[private to Sif]

Please keep people from jumping the gun. I mean, like rushing in there with swords drawn.

[private to Jane]

You won't lose anything, Weird Science. They're frozen and contested assets that will be freed up once your charges get dropped. Everything's still there. Friday's got satellite and drone eyes on it all.

[private to Thor]

Hey, Point Break. They're going to need you to do a psych evaluation for PTSD. Are you up to doing that? They think they can get a temporary insanity defense for you, and you can do some community service and pay restitution to the families.

[private to Peter Parker]

I talked to your Aunt. Don't worry. Nothing bad. You're not grounded and it's probably safe to wear the suit and be a hero again. If you watch your back. You need to be careful and we need to be able to trust you. We'll be keeping an eyes on the companies involved with this. If you mess up again, you're going to get the training wheels protocol. Sound like a deal?

	Hi. Who's they? I'm side-eyeing you now. [Private to Val] Hey, I went and talked to Bruce about my crap, so yeah. It's a thing that happens. Wow, Asgard has issues. Ok, gotcha. No judgey. But that bet's still on if you want it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	angriestqueen 2020-07-03 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Side eye all you want. I'm not spilling the details. Trust me or don't. [TONY] Don't start. You have no idea what as many years as I've seen does to people. Oh you aren't wrong. Someone is going to get my boot through their face by the end of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_iron_man 2020-07-03 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, not inspiring confidence there. At all. [private] Too late. Started. I'm already talking to Thor about this. If you get Loki back, do us a solid and talk to him too. Ok? As long as it's not my face, I want to see it happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-03 03:08 am UTC (link)
	Look. I'm doing what I can do. Leave it alone. I'm not spilling my secrets. They're mine, but I will not get caught, don't worry. I will talk with him. I don't want to put my boot through you, so you can watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Val the_iron_man 2020-07-03 04:39 am UTC (link)
	All right. Let's back the truck up, She-ra. I think the least you can do is just give us a HINT, like at least tell me and Steve what's up so we can, you know....not be flying blind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-03 04:46 am UTC (link)
	She-ra? I don't understand the reference. Is that a bad one or a good one? Ghosts. The dead are my realm. With an idea of where he might be, I can use the dead to try to find out more. The risk is mostly confined to me. Happy? And no. I have not told Thor or Sif. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Val the_iron_man 2020-07-03 04:54 am UTC (link)
	She-ra flew around on horse with wings. Like this Anyway. What you're saying is you see dead people. And not in a creepy kid voice. So this mean's you're Goth-ra, the dark and edgey version of She-ra. And that's cool. Yeah. Can see that. Keeping it on the down low. Let us know if you find something you think is useful ok? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-03 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Oh. That is actually really cool. Goth-ra... I.. Okay I can handle that. But yes. Comes with being valkyrie. The job not the name. Good. ~~I don't even know if I can~~ if you must tell Steve, tell no one else. Please. I will tell you any thing I find of use. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Val the_iron_man 2020-07-03 05:07 am UTC (link)
	Asgard needs cartoons. All right. I'll give a heads up to Steve later. If you can't find anything major, it'll save face if you don't get any info other than making sure Rock of Ages is ok. Sound good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-03 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Please tell me I get to be Goth-ra in places where you don't feel like using my actual name, I'm amused at this. Don't worry, I'm not spilling information unless it is useful. And I'm not outing that ability to the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She-Ra

Ok, getting the whole mysterious vibe that you're throwing down. Promise not to blurt it out, but it's probably handy to let a few people know you can do that. You know, in case of emergency, break out the ghosts.

Nope, you're She-ra. That's your codename now. I give everyone a code name. And Goth-ra wouldn't make sense since that sounds closer to Mumm-ra who was a crusty old mummy that got buff because why not and fought a bunch of cat people.

I'd call you Xena but SHIELD already labeled Sif with that one. And Sif doesn't have a flying horse.

	You know. Wanda has an idea. Loki will know. I give you permission to tell Steve. See, a few people know. Okay yeah no I like She-Ra. The flying horse really makes it, doesn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She-ra the_iron_man 2020-07-03 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	All right. Is it ok to share that with Fury? He's the head of SHIELD and a super secret spy that we coordinate with for missions. It so does. Show it to Morgan some time, ok? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-03 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	With the caveat this isn't something anyone can order me to do. It is not without price to me, and it is not something to use carelessly. It isn't something to do without a lot of thought. I would be happy to take Morgan for a ride. I think she would like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If it's a strain or has conditions, maybe I'll keep it need to know then. If it comes up, maybe ask you first to keep it under cover and we can ask permission first.

You're going to be one of the coolest people to that kid. Just sayin.

How're things going with running New Asgard? And how are you holding up, since you don't seem like you're going to run off half cocked and put a boot into someone's face anyway.

I'd be a dick if I didn't ask, since there's not much else I can do other than pay for legal aid. And no government can stop that so 🖕🖕 to Ross.

It does. If the situation could benefit from it, we can approach it then.

I strive to be the coolest to kids. Or something. I'm working on that angle.

Things are busy. I've got stockpiles of food and supplies, keeping our farmers as fishermen busy. I can't afford to put a boot through someone's face..as important as Loki is to me, we do not have that many people left. I can't afford to pull a Thor tantrum version 2 and put them in harms way.

My people need to be safe, healthy and fed. I will get Loki out, but I won't put them in harms way for it. Not unless I have no other choice.

I'm grateful for all your help. I really am.

It's fine. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Sounds like you've got everything all shored up and bases covered. And it's good no one's gonna pull another Thorstorm or Thormageddon. That'd make a bigger mess and none of us could afford that, here or there.

Glad I asked. This'll get sorted out. It's just taken a while longer, since it's a super sticky situation.

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-03 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	No. I wouldn't let that happen. It is. And I'll do everything I can to get him out faster. And I can't promise I'll be patient forever, but, I'm going to try to do things in the shadows, as it were, and help us get this moving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Val the_iron_man 2020-07-04 12:32 am UTC (link)
	The older I get, the more I realize I've made enough messes to know when to back off and let the lawyers handle it. Playing nice now means New Asgard stays safe, so you're doing a good job there. For sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-04 12:39 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. I mean it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Val the_iron_man 2020-07-04 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Hey, I got along with past versions of you, including the one I partied with at Loki's apartment. That seems like forever ago. Basically. I'm gonna get along with you too. We're all stuck in this together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-04 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Oh dear. That is quite the story, isn't it? We are. I get along with you, I am not easy to get along with, I'm impressed (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Val the_iron_man 2020-07-04 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Hey, I'm not easy to get along with either. And yeah, it was. I think I shaved a few years off my liver's lifespan and someone set that floor of the building on fire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony angriestqueen 2020-07-04 06:16 am UTC (link)
	It sounds like a real fun time. (Reply to this) (Parent)
