I'd like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Moira Kinross and will be consulting with my colleague, Dr. Banner as well as assisting Dr. Xavier with the reopening of the facility in Westchester.

I would like the opportunity to speak privately to anyone recently arrived from Genosha. I am happy to do so over this network or we may set a time for an in person meeting at your earliest convenience.

Additionally, If I may be of any help, please do let me know.

Hi I see I introduce myself here.

English is not my first language and Google translation it sucks.

I am Illyana Rasputina and New York looks good from my window is not Genosha so much better.

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.

So... I guess I should introduce myself to all of you. Hi, I'm Kitty Pryde. I'm 21, grew up in Illinois, and was in my junior year at Columbia University studying Computer Science and Mathematics.

I'm not sure what else to say. I would love to find a Temple and a ballet studio nearby, but I don't know if it would be safe for me to attend either.

Thank you to all of you for being so kind and welcoming.

Fake Alexa keeps telling me that it's going to engage the fire alarms if I light one more cigarette. What is this building constructed out of? Fascism?

No, I'm not making nice and introducing myself. I'm lodging a complaint.

Oh, it is nice to move my fingers enough to use this thing. It is also nice to be able to function not in a haze of painkillers.

I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Rogue, and, uhh, I'm new around here. And I'm also broken, so, if anyone has any recommendations for delivery food, share?

[Team Science]
The comprehensive battery of tests that I have been running conclusively indicate that Bucky and I are also both under the influence of whatever has reverted Steve to his pre-serum state.

We haven't been able to determine the cause yet, but my money's on something in Genosha based on the timing.


[Separate Filter to Christine Only]
A decade ago, I would be celebrating this. All I wanted for the longest time was to get rid of the Other Guy. Now that it's happened, I feel oddly empty.


[All Wedding Guests (minus the bride & groom)] (added later)
If you all don't mind, please stop by the lab when you have five minutes so I can get a blood sample for testing.

[To everyone who attended Thor & Jane's wedding on Genosha]
I wanted to extend my thanks - I couldn't have succeeded without everyone's help. I can never be thankful enough.

[Wanda]
I owe you a debt that can never be repaid - your assistance was vital. I cannot thank you enough. We are both doing as well as can be - I am sure Loki would love to hear from you. Don't let him fool you - he is worn out and in need of more downtime, but, well, I am sure he'll tell you otherwise.

[Thor & Jane]
Thank you both for letting me use your wedding as a cover. We will have to have a feast when you return - I am forever thankful.

So. Not gonna lie folks, kinda creeped out by some other dude calling himself Starlord.

Oh well, this is just awkward.

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

This is quite disorienting. Not the tech, that is very intuitive, but I doubt that one is supposed to travel through time to battle their own family and then through a rift in reality in such rapid succession. I was told to take care of myself, does anyone here know how this is done?


[NEBULA]

I have an infinite number of questions, sister. I will start with 3.

#1. Are you the Nebula who despises me?
#2. Is there actually no way off this planet?
#3. These Terrans, do you trust them?

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?

Finally, some good news.

Because of those legal statements from our resident Asgardians and Jane, lawyers were able to broker an agreement.

The Feds want to settle for ten million in restitution and some community service from Thor, if he's ok with that. Mostly social appearances. You know. Say hi. Smile, wave, refuse to promote anyone else's political or military agenda. Go home. EZPZ.

Jane, if you accept, it means all of your assets won't be frozen anymore. Asgard won't be considered terrorist sympathizers either. Which we all know was b.s. and a total knee-jerk reaction anyway.

[Thor]
I have a thought - and I want your input.

[Tony]
I have an idea.

Well bad news first: Sif appears to be gone. But, this spawned an idea. Up for hearing it?

Rhodey - the Rhodey we knew - is gone.


I want to hit something.


I hate this place.

[TONY Stark]
» I have some Intel for you

[WANDA]
» i asked if you would help me with my experiment. Are you still willing?

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

[private to Tony]

(1) Okay. You were right. I can't stop thinking about flying and how much fun it was.

(2) What say we get Happy to come over this weekend, and you and I can go out in the suits?

(3) And if you start singing 'A Whole New World' or find some way to play it through the soundsystem, I will divorce you. Fair warning.

All right, so I'm attempting to teach myself how to cook. I am sorry if I set off any fire alarms. I tried cooking with my hands, but that just burns things to a crisp so I'm using the actual oven. Holy shit it's slow.

Give me your best cooking tips. I need them.

Happy Father's Day :)

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 think most of you probably know this by now, but I realized I never said anything publicly. Or, well, semi-publicly. I'm okay with all of you knowing though we're keeping it on the down-low from the general public.

Anyway, it turns out that Tony is my dad. So yeah. Now you know.

[Private to Bucky]
Hey. What do you think about going out with T'Challa and Natasha sometime? Like a double date sorta thing?

I have never been busier in my life. and it has been a very, very long life indeed. I keep thinking I'll run out of ways to keep me busy so I don't do something stupid bother everyone helping us, then I add on ten more things to do.

I admit I might finally need a drink.

I'm watching a movie. The plot concerns a beauty pageant where an officer of the Federal Bureau of Investigations goes undercover as a contestant due to a lead on an apparent bomb threat at the event.

Can someone please explain why 'whirled peas' are so important?

I have seen so much Disney and Pixar the last few weeks while Mrs. Potts-Stark (I'm not allowed calling her Pepper anymore, since I started calling her Habenero last week) and Tony have taken on the United States and I take on their adorable and yet insane Morg-Borg.

So clearly since I'm not sleeping and I'm having my hair braided lately, Google has been my best friend and Tony -- did you know the Internet thinks you'd make an amazing Jasmine?

Now I'm wondering what kind of Disney Princess I am .... I'm thinking Moana. I love the water, and I can navigate anywhere.

Yup.

Moana.

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.

I have been exposed to more water in the last seventy-two hours than I think I have in my entire life prior to this storm.

I may never be completely dry again.

Also, the underground transport system of New York is now very, very clean.

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?

( Group message to Tony and Thor )

Sometimes, it's so easy to forget that before everything we all used to be people with (generally speaking) normal lives. We all had to learn how to feed ourselves, how to read, how to be who we are...

Now of course, as household names, it's hard to remember that people actually do just call me Pepper. Not Mrs. Potts-Stark, Pepper Potts-Stark, CEO, etc etc. Believe it or not, my parents still refer to me as Virginia.

I thought it might be fun to bring us all back to what makes us human: our flaws. But not, those hard ones that make us vulnerable. Something interesting, something that you wouldn't expect.

I'll go first, of course.

I absolutely, cannot, for the absolute life of me, bake bread. Doesn't matter how hard I try -- it either doesn't rise, or it's too chewy, or it's not bread, it's crackers (that was a sad day). Don't tell Tony, but that might be the reason behind no gluten in our house ;)

I've been encouraged to post a message on this forum, to make others aware another person has arrived in this universe. I don't know what to say, other than I am here. I don't think I've been here before.

Or perhaps that was another me, if she exists.

Which, apparently, she does, though I don't know where she is.






She isn't here.

(1) Suuuup bitch
(2) I'm back, yo!
(3) Sandwhich and cuddle time?!

Has anyone talked to Bobbi? She left on a mission about a week ago and hasn't responded to any of my messages.

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.
