I need a sword.

Good news: I have a new phone.

Bad news: I spent all afternoon taking apart the head on the Benetar to get the old one back.

• Swayze is still better than the Bachelor. Sorry Darcy, I tried.
  
• I have met Earth's greatest hero, and his name is Skywalker.
  
• Modern art makes me feel like stabbing something with my sword. Next time I get the bright idea to go to a museum, we can visit the Collector.
  
• Crepes are the best invention on this planet. Change my mind.
  
• Sam, you were right about communicating. But I was not prepared for how difficult it is.

This Friday, at sundown, begins the observance of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. I'll be celebrating with traditional foods in the common area if anyone wishes to join me.

I guess I should have said something when I got here but hi, I'm Scott. Most of you know me anyway so I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I have not gotten arrested, beaten up, or done anything weird since I've been here which is pretty unusual especially if you know me.

I suppose it isn't too soon to ask for lab space, right? Friday suggested I say hello while I get food delivered and shopping done - I'm Hope, this morning I was in San Fransisco, this afternoon, I'm in New York City.

Can't even lie and say that's the weirdest thing to happen in my life.

I have never known so many people to water a fern in a building in my life. and don't think I'll ever forget, Wisdom, you put a cigarette out in me. And Gamora. Really. A protein drink? i hate all of you so fucking much you don't even know how much i am enjoying this

While I am still going to be down and out for a while yet, um, if any of y'all have questions for me, I'm ... ready to try to answer some of them - though I still don't know how useful I'll be. Maybe there's some way to fix this, too, because not touching anyone kind of sucks.

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?

Okay, SO. I have exciting news. I moved into my own floor in the building with Tony's penthouse. To celebrate my housewarming, I've decided that we ladies need a proper slumber party. Now, unfortunately, because I know myself, I'm going to make it 18+, sorry young'uns. But all the other ladies who can read this are invited.

No, Quill, you cannot come even if you wear a wig and a dress.

Yes, Loki, you can come if you want to shapeshift.

I'm looking at Saturday the 19th. How's that sound for everyone?

We're back!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. We had a lovely time.

We saw there's been a lot of new faces while we were away. Welcome. And just a reminder that the portal in the Tower goes directly into our house. We like having guests but please give us a head's up if you're coming. It can be surprising to have someone unexpected walk through the house.

Hope everyone's been doing well while we were away.

( Locked to medical personnel )

It's really hard to concentrate in class when you just did cool Avenger things just weeks ago. Also why if Flash still such a jerk.

Friday once I figured out what he meant by that said I should introduce myself here.

So here goes Hi. I'm Raven. I just got here from Genosha.

I would be remiss if I did not join in the introductions. I am Professor Charles Xavier, psychiatrist and educator by trade. I would like to thank you all for the quality medical intervention and kindnesses.

( Mr. Stark )


( Katherine Pryde )


( Captain Quill )

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.

I have taken it upon myself to seek initiation to the sorcery that is Swayze. Peter Quill, this is something you were not wrong about.

I may need to go stab something very soon though, before I turn into a vapid TV kardashian girl.

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.

Locked to Guardians

Roll call. Are we all here? I know Strange said T'challa, Hope, Bucky, that chick with the kids, and some dude named Phil are gone.

Has anyone heard from Drax?

Nebula, what can I do?

Some of the new arrivals aren't aware, or likely aren't even part, of our situation. They aren't displaced, but I can see their fates are coinciding with our own. So from now on, I'll be using a displaced filter for those of us from another universe. Those coming from Genosha or that were already a part of this universe, won't know what we're talking about. Or it may take them longer to understand.

I wanted to let you know that the spell net over this city has registered some departures. Hope, Wanda, Phil, T'Challa, and Bucky are gone. This universe is unpredictable. I don't want to sound hokey, but treasure those you have for the time that you given.

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.

Echoing my wife's announcement, I too wish to extend my gratitude those who aided Valkyrie and helped free me from that prison. Thankfully, I am doing much better at this juncture. It was a truly and deeply distressing experience, and I am not yet able to bring myself to speak of it for overly long. I will say the collars are incredibly painful when activated, and that island is far worse than any dungeon that I know of.

It is rare that I offer apologies, but I deeply regret the circumstances as of late. It was not my intention do ill, nor to lure young Peter into trouble nor any further danger. I do hope the trespass shall be forgiven, and I will strive not to get caught again to do better in the future.

[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?

[After Thor's message to Steve]

We've been in interviews all day. Thor's going out with Steve but I just want to lay in bed and eat cheeseburgers.

Come hang out and keep me company?

(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.

(1) Alright, be honest -- this guy seems like a catch and I really do like Costco...

(2) I bet he also drunk texts. And that means he drinks. Already a few more points in his favour.

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 )

Washington, D.C. - In a surprising turn of events, the U.S. government has announced a final settlement with the Asgadians and Dr. Jane Foster, world renowned astrophysicist. Charges were dropped in exchange for community service from Thor Odinson, and an additional $10 million in restitution for damages caused by the storm that hit New York.

Thor's brother, Loki, remains in military custody. His precise location is unknown due to pre-trial security concerns. A trial for war crimes charges has been set for late September.



Manhattan, NY - Via press release, Thor and renowned astrophysicist, Dr. Jane Foster, announced they are getting married. According to the released statement, the couple are "happy to announce our engagement." Stark Industries CEO, Pepper Potts-Stark, is rumored to be assisting the couple with wedding planning. The invite-only celebrity wedding will take place "sometime in the near future" at an undisclosed location.

[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.

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?

[TONY Stark]
» I have some Intel for you

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

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So, like, I got my pamphlet and a visit from Dr. Strange which btw WHAT. And now I'm somehow standing at Captain American's birthday party and I'm freaking out because I probably shouldn't be here, but also I can't stop staring at people.

Please tell me you guys are at the party somewhere.

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