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

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 think New York airspace is finally under control again.
> I've had air traffic control in one ear and Ross yelling in the other ear.
> My head hurts. Do we know what the AF happened?
> With Loki or Thor?
> Also I'm gonna have to go to DC again. Do something nice when I get back. I'll have earned it.

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.

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.

> Hey, wanted to let you know that press release is still on hold.
> Trying to do it near the Senate hearing, which kept getting pushed back.
> Because monsters.

[text to Rhodey]

> Any government rumblings about where Godzilla's buddies originated from?

Hello. I am Steve Rogers.

I am very tired and probably look it, but I wanted to introduce everyone to the newest superheroes around.

( They already have a spot at Avengers tower )

Everyone meet William Stephen and Thomas Anthony Maximoff, though I have already shortened their nicknames to Billy and Tommy. They were born early this morning and are doing well. I will be in the hospital for a little longer but if anyone wanted to swing by, I would not say no to visits.

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.

( For S.H.I.E.L.D. & Strange )

( Team List (& ooc notes) )

[to Pepper]

No pressure but there's like 8,011 things I need to talk to you about.

Want to do that over a late romantic dinner, after the kiddo goes to bed? I can order something and I'll make sure Morgan's fed too.

FYI, so you know, I dropped by that taco truck over on King and Hudson on the way home. Don't worry. Kept it light. Stopped at one taco soaked in hot sauce.

Are we out of Tums?

[to Rhodey]

So yeah, I told her. That night, like you told me to. I think I did ok.

She didn't cringe or scream that I was a massive dick or anything. That's generally a good sign. Right?

[to Bruce]

I did the thing. She knows. Thanks for talking to me too. I got Rhodey and Sam on the training stuff. Nat's going to give people covert ops pointers and doing more liaison things between here and SHIELD. Little Peter and Nat are going to help work on finding the eScape hacker.

Not sure what Big Peter's doing. I need to go poke that guy with a stick and make sure he didn't die of space herpes.

[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.

[Filtered to Wanda]

Hey, I'm sure you're busy right now, but I've got an unofficial thing I could use your help with. Shouldn't take too long but I think you've got the right skills and talents for it, and if you don't, maybe you can tell me who does. Could we maybe meet up and talk about it? I'd appreciate any pointers you can give me even if it's not something you can do yourself. Thanks.

ETA: Filtered to Wanda and Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange, Wanda and I need to interview a prisoner on the Raft. She's coming to make sure the prisoner isn't under a magical influence of some sort. In the interest of making sure she's safe, and feels safe, would it be possible for you to open a portal out to the raft, and open a return portal when we're finished? While I'd like to get this done in the near future, it's not so time-sensitive that it can't wait on your work.

I'd appreciate if you'd let me know if you can do this and if so, when you could be available. Thanks.

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

I don't like it when Mom and Dad fight.

Everyone okay?

Worst game launch ever. Guinness World Records called and made that official. Ouch.

Sorry everybody. And thanks for saving not only my ass, but the asses of everyone stuck in the game. That's whole a lotta bacon to pull out of the fire.

I'm on the 10th floor right now, chugging coffee and trying to fix this mess.

Update: Who wants to check out future location targets or where stolen stuff was dropped off? I'm digging through this hot mess and finding some info, while I carefully try to boot some unlucky contest winners out of their game and back to reality.

Since Tony's not denouncing what's going on or starting a clean up effort, I'm surmising that something has gone terribly wrong.

Before someone asks for me to stop a bunch of angry teens: We monitor mystic or planet-wide threats, and this doesn't qualify for our intervention. I believe it's a matter best left up to the police, SHIELD, or the Avengers.

That doesn't mean I can't help out behind the scenes.

I'll go to the tower to help coordinate. If anyone has any further information about what's happening, I'd like to hear it.

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.

Ok, everyone who told me this was a ghost? You were right. I didn't want to believe it. You've all earned the right to gloat.

Anyone want to play Ghostbusters? Team Science, maybe? No crossing the streams type stuff. That containment unit in the movies is probably out of the question too. Maybe we can start finding a way to push it out of the work and living spaces. Create a safe space or something. Ideas?

Also, Steve's gone. I'll be steering the ship. First call? Might want to use the buddy system. At least until Strange gets back.

>> Finished with some debriefing in DC.
>> Flying back up to NYC tonight.
>> You two going to be around tomorrow?
>> Chance for me to check in with Miss Morgan?
>> I might have brought her a gift from the Smithsonian
>> You too Tony. Don't be jealous.

So I know a bunch of you have been on your toes trying to keep the local me from finding out about multiverses and so on and so forth, but I'm here now, with all the memories of the last few years, and I'll be pitching in on the keeping things quiet part from now on.

How is everybody? Tell me what's going on with all of you here.
