[MJ, Peter Parker, and Illyana - all sent separately]

Can I say who my secret santa is if it's asking about help to get them a gift??

[MJ and Peter]

It's okay to miss New York, right? I mean, it's cool that we're on the west coast now and all that, but I had been hoping to like, see my parents a little more and stuff, you know?

Or does that make me sound super lame and ungrateful to have a room in a super cool Stark Tower?

I'm not even gonna bother questioning how I was in L.A. one minute and NYC the next. To be honest, I've seen weirder things.

Anyway, I'm Nico. Hey.

[backdated to earlier this week]

[filtered to Ned]

Hey, so you know the whole concept of Galentine's Day? On February 13? What if we celebrated that but made it bros? And went out for burritos or something?

[filtered to MJ]

How do you feel about ice skating on Valentine's Day? And hot chocolate after? Too cliche? Not cliche enough?

Who's dressing up for Halloween? Anyone?

[Peter Parker]
We should do one of those cheesy couples costumes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

>> What's going on?
>> Are you okay?
>> Should I need to be worried?

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.

Ross sucked it up and called for the Avengers, right after a hairy monster ate almost half of a National Guard unit.

We need three groups, with at least one heavy hitter in each team. Everyone else who can't power punch monsters can help with diversions or rescue ops. Monsters need stopped STAT. If you drop yours, tell us on the comm channel and go backup another team ASAP.

1. Team One: Anyone not afraid of getting wet, head to Pier 25. That's close to the Tower. Besides people in air-tight armor, do we have anyone with a super special surprise talent, like breathing underwater?


2. Team Two: Anyone used to fighting on foot needs to go to Battery Park. For those in the Tower, take the Quinjet on the rooftop and fly there. It needs stopped before it gets into the city.


3. Team Three: We need volunteers who can fly or fast travel to get to the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge. That's over on SHIELD's side and where the biggest mess is right now.

Let me know which team you're on. If it gets really bad, I can activate E.D.I.T.H. to help out.

Dr. Palmer's at Metro General. Take any wounded teammates there, and she'll admit and treat them.

So... I guess I need a dress for this party. Help?

Looking for honest volunteers as game testers, so I'm posting here. I figured any of you would be great at force feeding me harsh truths, since we're stuck in this weird ass universe together.

I reversed engineered the B.A.R.F. tech and moprhed it into a virtual reality MMO. Our new gaming division is launching eScape on Christmas. It's our last chance before mass production. Fifty contest winners are joining us, thanks to a certain nationwide burger chain that I don't hand out free publicity pitches for.

Something something golden arches, something something meals in boxes with little plastic me's inside....

Anyone wanna take a test drive? Give a shout out and I'll toss a VR kit in your direction.

This whole 'living my life that isn't really my life' thing is bizarre.

I feel like I'm smack dab in the middle of a conspiracy theory.

So my sister has reminded me that I have not yet made my presence here known and really you all deserve to celebrate that I am around now. So here it is, Pietro Maximoff for those who don't know me and for those who do...surprise!

[Filtered to Clint]

Bet you didn't see this coming.

Hey people. I'm MJ, Peter's girlfriend friend classmate. Got the whole 'alternate universe' spiel from the weird guy in the cape and Peter filled me in on things.

Any way I can get a peek at some government files? Find out the truth about some conspiracy theories for myself and all. I always knew there was more going on that the people were told.

WHY ARE THERE MEN IN MY OFFICE, ROLLING IN A SIX FOOT TALL UNICORN MADE OF PINK AND WHITE ROSES WITH A GOLD EDGED RAINBOW RIBBON AROUND ITS NECK

ON A GOLDEN PLATFORM

WITH A BUCKET OF CHAMPAGNE AND TWO GLASSES BETWEEN ITS HOOVES OMG

THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK

TONY WHY

Look I don't really give a shit about this whole time thing. I'm not interested in being in your little band of superfriends.

But someone's got to come and get this chick from my door. The one with the huge tits. She won't stop knocking, saying it's her job or something. I don't give a fuck. Someone come get her before I make her go.

I have some additional questions about this alternate timeline idea. Anyone who wants to answer, feel free to jump in.

✄ If I'm in an alternate timeline, then aren't we all in one?
✄ Are we supposed to try to get back to our original timeline? Or is that going on without us? Or with an alternate version of us?
✄ How long have we been in this alternate timeline?
✄ Since we're probably all making different decisions than we would have, and changing this more and more with each moment, is it even possible to get back to where we were supposed to be?
✄ If we do something here, and it doesn't affect 'real' time, doesn't that free us to start a revolution?
✄ What if we die in this wrong time? Do we die in real time, too?

I need to know so I can plan my week.
