After this text conversation

I have a situation I need your help with. It involves a lot of science.

[Secure Message to Natasha]

We need to talk. I think we have a problem.

[Private to Bucky]
You ready for this?


[Private to Zemo]
Step one toe out of line and you'll regret it.


[Private to Natasha & Yelena]
You two up for a little fun?


[Private to Pete Wisdom]
If you're not busy, I could use you and your girl as backup.


[Private to T'Challa]
I understand you have a safe house in Madripoor.

Что за черт? What the hell is this? I read the brochure but it doesn't make sense.

I know this dates me, but does anyone remember that part in the first Austin Powers movie with the chair that dropped Will Farrell down into that room of fire? If not, here's a visual ref.



Ok. Now we're on the same page. Because I really want to find a way to remodel Zemo's space to do this right now.

WHAT THE HELL, UNIVERSE.

I do not know how I suddenly arrived here from the prison in Berlin.

The virtual assistant has been very helpful. Although she tells me that access is "restricted" and I must remain in this "designated space."


Avengers. It has been a while.

I have an important announcement to make.

Steve has decided to retire from the superhero life. He's giving up the Captain America mantle and is no longer living in the tower.

So... who wants to go and drink too much green beer and Irish whiskey tonight?

I need to forget that the tabloids now think I'm dating my father.

There's been another instability in our part of the Multiverse. The spell net I casted indicates that there may new arrivals, as well as departures. If you notice someone is missing, they might return again one day.

For those that need medical treatment, Christine Palmer is one of those that has disappeared.

Update: I've received confirmation that Thor and Jane are also missing.

... I wasn't expecting this. Or to be here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 )

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.

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 wish to hit something spar with someone. Combat experience is preferred, but if you have no background, I could instruct you. Group sessions are also acceptable.

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.

I see our interesting times will never cease. Let me know where you'll be. We can meet up and help with some of the civilians and damage.

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?

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.

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.

Hello. I am Steve Rogers.

Not sure how many times I've been here but I can only say I remember being dumped into Central Park wearing my pajamas once and that's it.

So, hey. I'm Bucky. Guess I oughta make myself useful and get a job 'round these parts.

Hey, lover, you wanna come over and have some fun?

[private filter for Rhodey & Sam]

Hey you two. I know it's holiday burnout time, but I'm trying to get things organized. Great at the funding, dev, and equipment parts. Not so much at that whole pep talks and team spirit thing.

Bruce and I were talking, He brought up delegating and you two doing team training. I'm thinking upstate Avengers compound. Lots of room to get airborne in a no fly zone. You both have combat training and know what maneuvers to run. So that's a huge bonus.

Are you both up to set up training this upcoming month? Maybe do small group runs around everyone's schedules. Like Team A and Team B type stuff.

[private to Nat]

You're our liaison. Need to talk shop at you when you're not busy. Either at the New Year's thing or just whenever. Now. Now works.

Alright all you beautiful people -- let's hope that the world has stopped spinning and we can finally relaxed.

Oh wait, the world has to keep spinning for us to live ..but you know what I mean!

Been chatting with Darcy, and in deference to her amazing NYE gala, I'm going to do an after Christmas thing because lord knows I'm going to need normal people after spending it with my parents. Ew.

Boxing day! It'll be a quiet affair, with loads of water, hair of the dog (beer and wine, ain't getting fancier than that!), pizza and other fried foods and will be hosted at the Tower because I don't have that kind of living room space.

Also, thought it would be fun to do a Secret Santa ... or Satan, if you're into that kind of thing. Who's in?? Actually, even if you don't say anything, chances are I'll assign you to something ANYWAYS.

So stoked!

<3

So whoever is going to be stuck with me, just wanted to let you know I'm a size small in sweats, (okay fine, my butt is a medium), candy is always welcome and money absolutely appreciated. Also, I'm all about the most random thing you can possibly think of that would make you go 'who needs this??' The answer is me. Always.

<3

Mark your calendars, folks.

We're having an epic NYE bash at the American Museum of Natural History. It's going to be amazing.

If anyone wants help finding appropriate clothes, let me know. I'm happy to go shopping.


[ooc: will put up a party thread next week so folks have plenty of time to finish a scene for AC]
